Chapter 206: Many Sons and Many Blessings
The warm wind rippled, and everyone was intoxicated; As the sun sets, the blood-red afterglow reflects the endless plains.
Everyone walked and chatted, and the mood was extremely comfortable, and even the speed of the journey was much higher.
Since this Manjiao was rescued by Haozi, she has been almost inseparable from Haozi, and she doesn't care about her family background, the right family, or the current situation of the family, she just cares about how good you are to me at the moment, and you and I are just nong.
After Runzhi took everyone on a detour through the waterfalls where many apes haunted, he changed to a new Maxima from Nanchang Post Station and embarked on the journey again in good spirits.
The thousands of horses of this Nanchang post station are really very good, running up, like galloping in the wind, strolling in the plains, and like falling flowers and flowing water, but they are indeed very good horses.
Runzhi got closer to Cheng Hanyun and Haozi, and the three of them began to talk about their many life problems.
"Look at these plants and trees, whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and summer, they are all thriving, never withering, never falling, never falling flowers and flowing water when they complain about people, they are so naturally standing in this natural world, just like Sima Qian, who wrote the ancient history book "Historical Records" because of the burden of humiliation, just like the four masters and apprentices of Tang Xuanzang who went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties in "Journey to the West", just like Liu Bei in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" defeated Xinye and sent people under the fence, It is still possible to create a three-legged tripartite cause through the ages, so this thing, in the end, is like the withering and prosperity of grass and trees, life is impermanent, the world is impermanent, how many hardships, no matter success or failure, honor and disgrace, a smile to relieve a thousand sorrows, a smile to be calm, a smile to see it spring, summer, autumn and winter, joy and sorrow, birth, old age, sickness and death, I am safe"
Runzhi rode a horse, holding a bow and arrow made of gold that Emperor Yongzheng had once given him, and suddenly pointed to a large bush of tender grass that was growing very luxuriantly.
Cheng Hanyun listened, so he said:
"What you say is really good from the bottom of your heart. Indeed, our Chinese culture, for this life experience is quite a study, now many affiliated states are because of the wealth and strength of the Chinese country and flock to it, Chinese civilization as an excellent culture, in the four seas are all known, no one knows, as a Chinese people, since enjoy the brilliance of this Chinese culture, since the Chinese culture in many core concepts have a lot of understanding, so that subtly, as their own a large collective subconscious"
Runzhi listened, smiled and said:
In fact, since ancient times, in the eyes of many ancestors in China, seeing the status of a Rao, the first thing to look at is the name of this Rao, and the most critical part of the name is its surname, such as the "Stone Record" written by Mr. Cao Xueqin with great effort, the Jia Yucun in the book and just because of a surname and the Jia family, you can deduce the ancestors, deduce the generation, as your own family, Therefore, not only can the official be quickly reinstated, but also can be quickly promoted to the official of the direct jurisdiction of the capital, and the identity has jumped from a grass people, and quickly re-become the admiration of these ten thousand people, if it is not for the seniority, how can it be realized? ”
Cheng Hanyun heard what Runzhi said, so he said:
"Chinese culture is naturally a very good culture, but since ancient times the culture is developing, it is inevitable to produce a little dross, if you can't identify these dross, but in the end are all misguided children, such as this concept of more children and more blessings, in fact, it is just the dregs of a Chinese culture, if you are like this, there are only so many products under the general land, and the number of Rao has increased rapidly, so it is not necessary to increase a lot of food for no reason, these grains will not run into the mouths of children. If there is only so much food, and man multiplies indefinitely, will it not add a lot of burden? ”
Runzhi listened, just stared silently at a pot of incense burner, watched the fireworks of the incense burner gradually rise, and then disappeared into the air quickly, and then thought about Cheng Hanyun's words for a few seconds before he said lightly:
"Your doubts are naturally right, but maybe you ignore a factor, that is, the relationship between food and Rao, in fact, there are many people, but as long as this part of the people can find the arable land combined with it, then it will become the power to produce more food, and if this part of the people themselves do not participate in the production of food, then there will be an extra mouth for no reason to eat food, our most terrible thing is not how much to spare, but what we need to watch out for is the number of people involved in food production, This is the most fatal, so the ancestors' many sons and blessings are actually reasonable, because the more children and grandchildren, then the amount of arable land that can be used will be more and more, so the food produced is more and more, and even after improving the technology of cultivated land, more food can be produced, so the ancestors' many sons and many blessings are dross, in fact, it is not correct, whether this many sons and many blessings are dross, should be placed in different contexts for a detailed examination, and the fundamental of the investigation, In fact, different eras have changed the ability to use people and arable land and produce food."
Cheng Hanyun heard this, naturally all his head was about the idea of many sons and many blessings, in its opinion, this ancestor should go to him, what many sons and many blessings, Lao Tzu only needs one son, isn't it very easy to raise, and let my children live a good and happy life, isn't this a good deal, and then I catch the head, the children born, most of them are still a head catcher in the end, and if they don't get it, they will become tenant farmers, they are all slaves of the emperor and many rich and noble families, don't you hear that "there is no idle land in the four seas, The peasants are dying of hunger."
Cheng Hanyun naturally didn't dare to tell Runzhi all these inner words, worried that this would happen, but it was not good for Runzhi to step down, so he said:
"What the adults said is naturally reasonable, but now the food and salary of the head catchers is very low, many of the head catchers even if they violate the Qing Dynasty law and dissect the people's money, in the end they can only afford to raise a few children, if you want to have more children and grandchildren, it is very difficult for the children and grandchildren to fill the house, if our court increases a lot of money for us, maybe people like us will also agree with the concept of more children and more blessings, and it is very appropriate to put this kind of truth on many other ordinary people, If everyone is like you, there are major palaces in every big city, which contain thousands of gold, silver and jewels given by the emperor and the emperor, and those beautiful maids are innumerable, then there are thousands of children and grandchildren, and everyone is very willing."
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched Rao's figure very tall, and the branches of a few decadent willow trees on the side swayed weakly in the wind.
