Chapter 69: Respect the Old and Love the Young

"I have made up my mind about the captivity, so you don't need to say more!"

But Qi Yu obviously didn't intend to receive Li Kang's affection, and said to himself: "Mencius" cloud: the old and the old, the young and the young. The thieves were bold and reckless, and they ended up dismal, but they were to blame for themselves, and they couldn't blame others...... But how can the old and the young be innocent? And their bodies are exhausted and weak, and they are sent to the mines, and the interests of our Huaxia have not increased at all, and they are just dry bones... If this happens, what good will it do to our China? On the contrary, it will greatly damage the image of the Lord, the Lord, the Lord, the Lord, the Lord, the Lord, the Righteousness, and the Love for the People, and lose the identity of the Chinese people as a whole. If we forgive the sins of the old and weak, and support the old and the young, we can not only show the benevolence of the lord and conform to the traditions of the ceremonial state, but also relieve the worries of the captives, and comfort their hearts, I think they will be grateful to Dade and take the initiative to serve us..."

After saying what he wanted to say in one breath, Qi felt refreshed, but it was refreshing, and after the excited brain calmed down, the sweat was rubbing out of his forehead, so he had to lower his head, and he didn't dare to look at Li Kang, for fear that the other party would be mad, as for whether he regretted it, he couldn't say it himself.

Qi Yu's words silenced some of the audience who were gloating.

In the values of the Chinese, the old and weak do need to be taken care of, which is a matter of course. Originally, everyone was an ostrich, and no one mentioned it, so as to avoid embarrassment - it takes resources to support the old and the weak, and after all, they are relatives of the enemy's family, and some people's consciousness is not high enough to support their parents and children for the enemy - pretending to be deaf and dumb is over.

But now that he has been said by Qi in public, he can't continue to pretend not to hear.

The key is that what Qi Pre said is 'very right', very moral, and in line with the traditional Chinese three views, even if some people want to oppose it, it is not easy to say it.

For a while, some people complained in their hearts, complaining that he didn't care about the overall situation and only cared about his own personal reputation. Among them, there were especially officers whose close subordinates died in the battle.

Of course, some people hate it, some people like it, and Qi Pre's point of view was appreciated by Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing, just because Zhang Ji's character doesn't like to meddle in decision-making and deployment, so he didn't say it.

After a deep glance at Qi Qian, Li Kang didn't know if he was really kind-hearted, compassionate, or a simple political show, but no matter what, people occupied the moral high ground, and did not put forward the suggestion of 'treating all captives well', is it wrong to take care of the implicated elderly and children? Not at all, these old and young people did not go into battle in person, to put it mildly, people still sent people from Ping Zhenqi to invite Xin'an Town from home as guests, as for whether people are waving their flags behind the scenes, or even making suggestions, who can say clearly without evidence?

Therefore, Qi Pre's point of view is very correct and tenable.

Therefore, Li Kang is ready to push the boat down the river and adopt his opinion.

In other words, Li Kang felt that he was not a saint, and he never thought about becoming a saint, but he didn't want to have too many stains on his body, and it was not impossible to give some kindness appropriately, create a good image, and decorate the faΓ§ade without affecting the interests of Huaxia.

Treat enemies or threatening people as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, but treat friends as gently as the spring breeze blowing willows, and the type of people in between, such as the former enemy who has no threat, reward points and wind and drizzle, can't they also show their generosity!

However, how should the boundaries of 'old and young' be determined? Li Kang touched his forehead with some headaches.

If it is on the earth, then everything is easy to say, draw two upper and lower age limits - commonly used in ancient conscription - below a certain age is young, higher than a certain age is old, simple, direct and clear, even if someone falsely reports false information, it is only a few can get through the confusion, harmless. But the problem is that the age of these natives is not even clear to them, and the children are better, especially the elderly, so it is not appropriate to divide them according to age.

Hehe, tease me, I've never heard of the boundaries of old age based on height!

is even more unreliable based on appearance, Guo Degang and Lin Zhiying are typical examples.

Hiss, Li Kang felt a toothache, and after he couldn't figure it out, he decided to let the 'culprit' solve this problem by himself.

"Respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and I and even the whole of China must support it!" Li Kangyi said rhetorically, and then turned to affinity with a serious face, and said with a smile, "What Sanli (Qi pre-character) said is very good, but I was not thoughtful and biased before. After a pause, he said, "You can do as you say!"

"Thank you, Lord Gongze, who was born by the common people, and benevolence shines in the world, which is really the blessing of my Chinese people!" Qi Yu offered his sycophants with a happy face, very proud that he could reverse Li Kang's 'wrong policy'.

"Hey, don't be busy thanking me yet!" Li Kang stretched out his hand to stop Qi Yu and said, "Since Sanli has such painstaking intentions, he must have a plan in his heart about how to distinguish between the old and the young, I wonder if I can tell if I can listen to it?"

"The lord is wise, and his subordinates think that children under the age of ten can be classified as young children, and those over sixty years old can be classified as the elderly. Faced with Li Kang's question, Qi pre-opened his mouth and came.

"Oh, can you know their age?" asked Li Kang with curiosity.

Forehead... Qi Yu was momentarily stunned, and only then did he realize that not all the things that were taken for granted in the past would work here!

Li Kang didn't intend to 'force people too much', turned his gaze to the others, and said, "If you have any good ideas, don't bother to speak up!"

Half a moment...

"My lord, my subordinates think that we don't have to set standards!" Dai Zi, who has not spoken, said, "It is completely up to our subjective judgment." We say that he is old and young, he is old and young, who can say no?" Xu felt that what he said was too domineering, a bit of a sense of 'pointing to a deer as a horse', Dai Zi hurriedly added with a smile: "Of course, the judges can't be too casual, the objective facts must be respected, you can't point to a strong man who is jumping around, and insist that people are old and young..."

"Hahaha..."Everyone was happy, but the laughter was full of kindness, and it was clear that he was positive about his idea.

Li Kang also admires Dai Zi's method, we are referees, and the rules are formulated by us, so why are we still tied, if you don't know your age, you can't figure it out!

"Wen Kai (Dai Zizi) woke up the person in his dream!" Li Kang said happily, "Do you have any other better opinions?"

No one has moved for a long time, as for Qi Yu, he just lost this time, and now he wishes that Li Kang would divert his attention from himself, so that he wouldn't jump out stupidly.

"Since everyone agrees, then it's decided!" Li Kang said, "Wen Kai, Sanli, the matter of distinguishing between the old and the young is up to the two of you, remember, what I want is the 'real' old and young!" Li Kang specially read the word 'real' very seriously, he said it to Dai Zi, hoping that he could understand Li Kang's intentions. "After the distinction is completed, all the young people are sent to the first school in Xin'an (the name is really vulgar), and the old ones are sent to the farm, so that they have nothing to help look at the fields, and they will be regarded as pensioners. ”

"No!" Dai Zi and Qi Yu replied in unison.

"Oh... By the way, I remember that the highest status of these indigenous tribes, except for the chief, was... Well... Chao Yan, yes, it's called Chao Yan, as if they were all served by the oldest and wisest old man in the tribe..."Li Kang asked with some uncertainty.

But it is true that Chaoyan is the wisest of the tribes, but not necessarily the oldest. Yao Fei stood up and said. He has been following Qin Han to protect Yang Pingwei and other Foreign Affairs Department personnel for a long time, and now the big and small heads of the Foreign Affairs Department are still cats somewhere in the western wilderness, and he answers this question most appropriately.

"I'm very interested in them!" Li Kang held his cheek with one hand and knocked on the desk with the other, and said to Dai Zi and Qi Yu, "If there are these people among the captives, pick them out, treat them first, and then summon them when I am free." ”

"No!" Dai and Qi got up again to answer the order, but Dai Zi did not sit back, but then asked: "Lord, what should those leaders do?

"Yes!" Li Kang nodded, with a 'natural' expression, isn't it, what the leader of this tribe said is better, he is the head of the clan, and what he said is more ugly, it is just some village chiefs and production team captains, or even worse, what is noble and special to speak of?

However, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Li Kang still specially instructed Wang Siping, Wang Dafu and others: "When you pick people, you should pay attention to the fact that these leaders should be separated from their tribesmen. ”

"I'll understand!"

"Hmm!" Li Kang nodded, then turned his gaze to Yu Wenkai, and said with a smile: "An Le, now I can talk about what achievements Xin'an Town has made in the past month!"

"No!" Yu Wenkai said unhurriedly: "At present, there are 916 people (441 soldiers) in Xin'an Town, of which there is a serious shortage of women, only 234 people; 21 elderly people over 60 years old, schoolchildren - Li Kang stipulates that all those over the age of six but under 14 years old must go to school - 46 people, 12 children under the age of six; 7,000 acres of fields have been cultivated, including 4,600 acres of winter wheat, 500 acres of rape, 50 acres of white peony, 200 acres of Chinese cabbage, 200 acres of garlic seedlings, 200 acres of broad beans, the rest are idle; the fleet has 11 canoes, 4 canopy boats, 4 small hard sailing boats, and two private fleets; the cement road connecting the east gate of the town from the main official residence (small building), the 200-foot wide section has been completed, and the 300-foot narrow section has been completed, and it is expected that on the basis of the additional 50 free laborers, all the projects will be completed within 10 days; The pottery kilns are all located outside the south of the town to be expanded, which can initially meet the needs of Xin'an Town, and the brick and tile buildings are already expected; the wood processing factory has also moved out of Xin'an Town and arranged in the west, because in the future, the timber cutting in Xin'an Town will mainly be carried out to the west; finally, because the private independent buildings other than the officials have not been put on the agenda - mainly the people do not have much money now, and they cannot place orders - therefore, the shops and other service facilities in the town are only supply and marketing cooperatives, Xin'an Medical Center, Xin'an Canteen, Xin'an First School, Official buildings such as public toilets. ”

After listening to this, Li Kang summed it up, and it was the population that was hindering his progress! Thinking of this, the fierce color in Li Kang's eyes flashed!

[It seems that I am indeed going out to grab a wave of people!]
