"Once upon a time, there was a country called Lu, and there was a law in Lu that if Lu people saw their compatriots in a foreign country suffering misfortune and become slaves, as long as they could redeem these people and help them regain their freedom, they could receive monetary compensation and rewards from the state. book network . v o d t . c o m" Yue Yan said.

Although Deacon Li was sweating profusely in a hurry, he also knew that it was not good to persuade more, so he could only stand and listen patiently.

Liu Xue'er listened to it with relish, and she liked the young master to talk to him: "Ah, this country is really good." ”

Deacon Li also nodded, and echoed on the side: "Yes, it's really good, this is good governance, and it can help many slaves return home!"

Yue Yan smiled and nodded, "And at that time, there was a famous sage named Confucius, and he had a proud protégé named Zigong, who was a very enthusiastic and very helpful person. He ransomed the Lu people who were exiled abroad, but did not receive money from the state. It's all about having your own money to do this kind of thing. ”

"Ah, this Zigong person is also very good, he is kind and charitable, he doesn't care about personal gains and losses, and uses his own money to help the people, he is really a good person. Liu Wei'er exclaimed.

Although Deacon Li did not speak, he also nodded silently, it would be good if there were more people who are kind and charitable and self-sacrificing.

In that case, the country will be a better place.

Yue Yan smiled slightly, looked at Liu Xu'er and said: "However, when Zigong's teacher Confucius learned about this, instead of praising Zigong, he reprimanded Zigong, he said Zigong, you are wrong! What the sage does can be used to change the customs and worldliness of the people, and the teachings can be taught to the people, not only for their own behavior." Now that there are few rich people and many poor people in Lu Guo, you will not lose anything to receive compensation from the state, but if you do not receive compensation, there will be no one in Lu Guo to redeem your compatriots who have been killed. ”

"Ah, how could such a thing happen, and what happened later, is there really no one in Lu Country to ransom the compatriots who were killed?" asked Liu Xu'er worriedly.

Deacon Li also forgot his previous anxiety for the time being, and looked at Yue Yan seriously, eager to know the development of the situation.

Yue Yan sighed: "Yes, after that, there is really no one in the Lu Kingdom to redeem the compatriots who were killed, because if they spend money to redeem those compatriots and go to the country to receive compensation, others will look at them with strange eyes and laugh at these people for doing this kind of behavior for the sake of reward, and only those like Zigong are good people!"

"But people's financial resources are always limited, and the number of rich people is also very small, ordinary people can't afford to pay the ransom like Zigong, and gradually, no one will redeem their compatriots, after all, they still have to live, and gradually, this good governance of the Lu country is so wasted, and finally it is gone!"

Liu Yu'er's tears were about to flow out, her hands were clenched in front of her chest, and she kept begging: "How can this be, young master, how can it be like this, can you not do this, don't do this!"

Yue Yan spread his hands helplessly: "This is a fact, there is no way to change it, Zigong has done a good deed with his own money, and he should have been established as a moral model, why does the master criticize him instead? Zigong's mistake is that he has exalted the moral standards that everyone can achieve to a height that is difficult for most people to achieve." This has made many people shy away from redeeming people. “

"Morality that violates common sense and human feelings is the most evil thing in the world. Raising the standard of morality infinitely, or treating one's private morality as public morality, will only achieve one result, that is, to embarrass morality, and let ordinary people change color when they hear morality, and then go away from morality! Therefore, morality should actually be something that everyone can do without harming oneself and benefiting others. ”

Deacon Li nodded in admiration: "That Confucius is really worthy of being a sage, and it is really remarkable to be able to see the subtleties and gain insight into human feelings!"

Liu Yu'er also nodded and said, "Young Master, I know, I'll go and claim the reward!"

"That's right, don't artificially raise the moral standard infinitely, the real morality is to punish the evil and promote the good!" Yue Yan smiled and nodded, and stretched out his hand to stroke Liu Yan'er's hair.

This suddenly made Liu Wu'er's pretty face crimson, and her heart was happy.

A big stone in Deacon Li's heart finally fell to the ground, if Liu Xu'er resolutely refused to accept the reward of the City Lord's Mansion, then of course it was completely impossible for them to receive it, if this was really the case, the City Lord's Mansion would definitely be very unhappy.

And they will also feel very disappointed, after all, this is a glorious path that can be promoted to the lowest level of the Battle Sect, and what will change will be the fate of the entire life, and even the entire family.

If you miss it, you can't afford it.

And now not only did Liu Xu'er agree, but Yue Yan also said such words, relieving the last trace of embarrassment in Deacon Li's heart.

The hearts that originally planned to resign this reward to the City Lord's Mansion finally faded.

Such a reward cannot be dismissed, after all, it is about the continuity of the present good governance.

But it is no longer a gain or loss for a single family, but an important event related to the atmosphere of the entire Wucheng.

The horse master really deserves to be the horse master, it is indeed magical.

"Master Pony, please go to the front hall with you, presumably the city lord must want to meet you!" Deacon Li sent an invitation to Yue Yan.

There was some apprehension in his heart, for fear that Yue Yan would refuse cruelly.

Yue Yan smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go together and meet the heroes of Wucheng!"

"Okay, okay!" Deacon Li was grateful, and hurriedly led Yue Yan and Liu Yu'er towards the front hall.

At this moment, the nine girls and the three lucky ones had also gathered in the front hall, their faces crimson, and their hearts were excited.

Big reward, such a big reward, it really makes them almost unable to control their emotions.

As soon as they saw Liu Xu'er and Yue Yan's reasoning, they immediately clasped their fists and saluted: "Master Ma, Miss Xu'er!"

All of this was brought to them by the horse master and Liu Xu'er, and of course they were grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

Yue Yan smiled and hugged his fists: "It's all your own brothers, don't be so polite, let's go, let's go and claim the reward!"

"Okay!"

Fourteen people followed Yue Yan out of the gate of the guild hall.

The onlookers outside the door immediately applauded.

There are naturally not a few people who are jealous in their hearts and even constantly slander, but in such a big situation, everyone has no glory and applauds!

Especially after seeing Liu Wu'er so young and beautiful, even more so!
