When Shen, the drum towers of the imperial city and the palace city Daming Palace rang the bell at the same time, and the time to go down has arrived. Officials and subordinates at all levels left the official office in twos and threes, or rode horses or took public carriages back to their respective homes, and some colleagues made an appointment to go to the restaurant tea shop to eat, drink, drink tea and make poems, and some went to the theater to listen to stories, watch wooden puppet shows or new plays, or go to the hundred theaters to watch juggling and hundreds of plays, and some went to the racecourse or polo field, and Keju field to watch the event, or went to the three cities in the southeast and west to take a turn, and some went to the fighting arena to watch all kinds of birds and beasts and people fighting...... In short, although the weather is hot, the officials still have the same leisure.

Wei Chongrun's Shangshu Provincial Government is in the imperial city, and the old palace Taiji Palace in the north is only separated by a horizontal street, but there is a relatively long distance from the new palace Daming Palace, Wei Chongrun is generally in the Daming Palace in the morning in the political hall of the Middle Dynasty, and in the afternoon he returns to Shangshu Province to deal with politics. The day's meeting ended before lunch, and after Wei Chongrun finished the prime minister's dine-in, he left the palace and returned to Shangshu Province - in the afternoon, the prime ministers went their separate ways, and there would be no more court discussions, unless there were particularly important and urgent matters, although today's bill was pending, it was obviously not qualified to break this regulation. After the Shen clock rang, Wei Chongrun also went out of the province, and returned to the prime minister's residence in the main house after leaving the imperial city.

But after he returned to the house, he changed into civilian clothes, took two guards from the Ascending Realm, and rode out of the mansion.

Of course, Wei Chongrun is not to play and entertain, in addition to the necessary entertainment with his colleagues, he usually goes to the market to understand the people's feelings, or goes to Ji Ran to learn to deal with academic affairs, or goes to the Gongli Library to read books, and sometimes goes to the calligraphy and painting hall inside to watch the paintings and calligraphy that are not allowed to be borrowed. Sometimes Wei Chongrun also went to the debate building of the Gongli Library, which was another building, built as an independent small hall for book readers, and all the people of Shinong and industry came and went, as well as monks and Taoists, and foreigners with residence certificates, forming various communication circles - Wei Chongrun often went here because he could hear the voices of different classes.

The destination of his exit is the debate building of the library building.

He is going to the largest Gongli Library in the Empire, that is, the first Gongli Library built by Emperor Sejong, located in Guangdefang, Xicheng, across a street in the west is the famous Chang'an West Market, hundreds of thousands of people flow to and from every day, and the East Market, which is expensive and expensive, is more civilian. Moreover, Jingzhao Mansion is in Guangde Fang, and there are many officials and people who go in and out of business, so it is convenient to go to the library to read books or consult materials. - Sejong took great pains to build the library building here.

Wei Chongrun dismounted with the guards outside the library building, and a handyman came up to lead the horse to the stable. This is the rule, to enter the library to seek knowledge, you must use your own feet to walk in, not to use a car or horse to walk.

Wei Chongrun habitually looked up, and on the high gatehouse hung the imperial pen and horizontal plaque of Emperor Sejong: Tianyi Gongli Library.

"Tianyi" takes the meaning of water in the sky and lives to avoid fire, and also contains the meaning of the first public library building in the world. Later, after the Gongli Library Building was built in various places one after another, this Tianyi Library Building had the meaning of "the largest in the world and the largest collection of books", and you can know the world and the world without leaving home, which is also the first in the world. Because there are many foreign books translated in Tang in this library, the content is all-encompassing, and there are many famous travelogues, not only the scenic spots of the Tang Dynasty, Tiannan and Haibei, but also the travelogues of explorers who traveled to overseas countries, including geography, scenery, people, customs, etc., it can really be said that it is difficult to stay in the geography hall for a month, and it is difficult to know the world.

Wei Chongrun also liked to go to the Geography Hall when he was young, in addition to those books, the most attractive thing for him was the globe hanging from the sky, the control of the mechanism, slowly and unstoppably rotating from west to east, standing in one place without moving, you can see the whole world clearly, which is shocking and surging. Standing under that huge planet and looking up at the whole world, I suddenly felt a sense of insignificance. But for these young people, there is a sense of enthusiasm - the world is so vast, the world is so big, how can they live at the bottom of the well and watch the sky? How can you be confined to a fighting room and not fly high? But when Wei Chongrun became the prime minister, when he stood below, he had another feeling: The Tang Empire is so strong, but it is only a small piece in the whole world. At this time, he couldn't help but think: When young students mention Gaozong, they are called "Saint Gaowu", and they are enthusiastically admired, which should have something to do with this majesty's expansion of the territory of the Tang Dynasty from a horse to a giant elephant! …… This is really, intuitive impact, what man does not have the ambition to establish a career and gallop the world? This thing can also arouse the king's desire to expand his territory. Since then, Wei Chongrun rarely went to the Geography Hall, and compared with the iron-blooded majesty who opened up the territory, he admired Sejong who opened up the wisdom of the people and Zhaozong who improved the people's livelihood.

Yes, when the prime minister received the two bills submitted by Li Yuzhen, he was extremely happy in his heart, which are all conducive to improving the people's livelihood, although he knew that His Royal Highness could not be out of the feelings of "loving the people like a son", but she could have the emperor's sense of responsibility, pay attention to the people's livelihood and put it into action, Wei Chongrun was very satisfied.

After dismounting, he did not enter the gate directly, but bowed in front of the wall outside the gatehouse.

The wall is inlaid with a bright black Yundian stone, and the above is the edict written by Sejong himself, a year ago, the new gold was painted, the brilliance is dazzling, the block script is vigorous and simple, and it is written in the vernacular that ordinary people can understand:

"I hope that every one of my people can read freely, be literate, and have the right to knowledge. Because knowledge is our most precious treasure: it can make us wise and wise, free from ignorance and ignorance; It can make us no longer poor, but rich; It frees us from illness and allows us to have health; It allows us to get out of weakness and become strong; It enables us to get rid of inferiority and become respectable and noble people. Knowledge is the sunshine, and it is equally sprinkled on us regardless of whether we are high or low, male or female, of skin color, or ethnicity. We are equal before knowledge. But only with a sincere heart, not afraid of hard work, not afraid of the ridicule of others, hard to learn, humble to seek advice, can get the reward of knowledge. ”

This edict is engraved on the wall of every Gongli library, and the first thing that everyone who enters the library to read is this holy saying that "everyone has the right to read", which illuminates the hearts of many people like a torch. These people are not just people from Datang.

Even though Wei Chongrun had read it many times, every time he stood under it, he would still read it word by word. He will always remember how tears welled up in the eyes of the young man in shabby clothes and frayed shoes, when he walked a hundred miles on his feet and stood under the wall of the library building in the state! He has no money, but as long as he steps through the door in front of him, there are countless books for him to read and learn, and those precious knowledge, he does not need to pay money, only a sincere and fearless heart, and these are exactly what he does not lack.

What Sejong opened to them was not just a gate, but a temple adorned with precious pearls.

Wei Chongrun warned in his heart every time he recited: Don't forget the past, the poor teenager who could only drink porridge and tighten his belt and study hard.

After Wei Chongrun entered the door, he went to the debate building, and went up to a small hall on the second floor with the lintel inscribed "Dong Xiangchun", and there was a copper-plated square plaque inscription next to the door: Ji Ran Xue debate room.

This is a place dedicated to the discussion and exchange of science and science.

Ji Ran Xue is not an emerging school of the Tang Dynasty, but one of the hundred schools of pre-Qin Zhuzi, specializing in the affairs of goods and colonization, rising to the national economy, Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li, Qi Xiang Guan Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period, Wei Xiang Bai Gui during the Warring States Period, Qin Xiang Cai Ze, are all famous Ji Ran family. But to the Western Han Dynasty, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought, Confucianism alone, was condemned as "talking about profit and injustice" Ji Ran Xue fell into a trough, during the troubled times because of the recovery of the economy had a head, but always for the scholars to despise, to the Tang Dynasty to improve, but also entrusted to the "Fan, Guan, Bai" sage policy, no one dared to say that they are Ji Ran School. It was not until the era of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, because of the frequent wars of His Majesty that he needed strong financial support, and those officials with talents were discovered and reused, and Ji Ran began to reappear in front of the world. And to the time of Zhaozong, the emperor is the famous Ji Ran everyone, was recorded in the history of the "Zhaoxuan Change" is the hard work of many Ji Ran family, in the strong support of this Majesty Xi à, the Ji Ran school ushered in the hot summer after the spring sprout, as if with Confucianism, Taoism, Mo, Bing, Law, Yi these several schools, become the seventh Xianxue favored by young people. Because the imperial examination added the Ji Ran Branch, and the Hubu, Taifu Temple, and the local transfer department, Hu Cao and other officials must be familiar with Ji Ran before they can enter the job, and the chief officials of the Taifu Temple of the Hubu and the transfer envoys of all the provinces, seven or eight out of ten are from Ji Ran Kejinshi.

Wei Chongrun is a famous Ji Ran family in the Changzhi Dynasty, and he is also the president of the Imperial Ji Ran Society, and the seventh editor-in-chief of the "Ji Ran Journal" founded by Zhaozong, and also serves as the doctor of "Ji Ran Xue" of Guozi Xuetaixue. But many students who regret that Wei Xiang teaches too little do not know that the prime minister, who is busy with government affairs, will take an hour every month to sit at the "Dong Xiangchun".

The name Dong Xiangchun is taken from the name of Anyi Dong Xiangchun, which was established by Wei Xiang Baigui, one of the originators of Ji Ran Studies, which was once the center of debate and political discussion among scholars of the Warring States period. And this cave Xiangchun in the debate building is just a place for new entrants to learn from Ji Ran, and the "insiders" don't come here, thinking that the problems of communication here are too superficial, and most of them gather in Ji Ran Society. But Wei Chongrun likes to come here, because there is no threshold here, anyone can enter, and the young people here are good teachers, even if the merchants and workshop owners ask for advice with borrowed books, there are also young scholars who patiently explain...... Yes, there are shirt-shirted scholars, merchants and workshop owners in silk robes, and artisans and farmers in short shirts, and Wei Chongrun once solved the problem of how to divide crops to get the most out of a farmer with 30 acres of land...... What Wei Chongrun likes is that there is no class in front of knowledge, everyone can learn, not the nobility monopolized by birth or wealth.

However, Wei Chongrun came here today, not to promote new students and exchange knowledge, but to "meet" someone.

This person does not have any official status, but he is a "big man".

He has the same habits as Wei Chongrun, and likes to go around this kind of debate room with superficial knowledge, and he will go around each debate room, especially like to contact those apprehensive artisan farmers and take the initiative to answer their questions. When Wei Chongrun met him by chance in Dong Xiangchun, the two of them tacitly did not make a name, just a silent exchange, and since then they have a tacit understanding, whenever Wei Chongrun comes to this hour, that person will come here, and the two of them will discuss knowledge and exchange views on paper.

Today, Wei Chongrun is wearing an ordinary silk shirt as usual, wearing a hanging foot, carrying an ordinary green cloth book bag on his right shoulder, containing paper and pen, it looks like an ordinary scribe who enters the library to read, except for the bearing is not like ordinary people - but among the readers who enter the library building, there is no shortage of dignitaries, scholars and talents, all of whom have a general temperament, Wei Chongrun is not abrupt in it, and the people who come here are all for reading and seeking knowledge, or to watch famous calligraphy and paintings, no one pays much attention to others; Even if there are people who know Wei Chongrun, they also know that this prime minister came here to study, and he will not come forward to salute without knowing him.

When he entered the debate room, he had already arrived.

The room was identical, with a half-height podium at the front, and a cedar table and four-legged square stools arranged in an arc, a long table for ten people to sit around and discuss, a square table for four people, and a small table for two people—the man sat at a small table against the east wall, and his hair was noticed: shaved short, the kind of "flat head" that the upper class disparaged was, and could not be tied in a bun, and certainly not the crown that symbolized the Dai people. His upper body is still a coarse cloth shirt with vertical buttons, a cloth belt at the waist, bloomers and leggings on the lower body, as if he has to walk long distances often, and on his feet is a pair of round-mouthed black cloth shoes with mille-feuille bottoms, which are light and wear-resistant. It seems that the peasant households from the Guanlong area, because of the lack of water, the hair of the villagers is cut short, and many men shave their heads: they can save the cost of washing their hair, and if they don't wash it, they will get lice, itch unbearably, and they will be affected by farm work.

But the peasant did not have his calmness, and sat in this book-soaked place, as if in his own yard.

He has thick eyebrows and a rectangular face, his appearance is somewhat ordinary, his face is dark, and his hands resting on the table are also very rough, as if he often does rough work, but he gives people a very powerful feeling. Not very tall and not burly, but sitting there gives the feeling of a silent mountain.

This is Mo Ping, the president of the Mo family and love society, a silent and determined ink man.

Mo Ping is not surnamed Mo, his original surname is Cheng, and his children are also surnamed Cheng, but no matter what the original surname of the president of the Jian Ai Society is, he will change his surname to Mo after serving as the president, in order to inherit the purpose of the Mo family of "love and mutual benefit" and not forget the ambition of the Mo family. In the 800 years since the establishment of Kanai Society, each president has his own characteristics, but "simplicity and sincerity" seem to be their common characteristics. And this president has one more significant characteristic - silentness, which is especially evident when dealing with superiors.

He just nodded when he saw Wei Chongrun coming, and his big rough hand pushed over a piece of clay paper full of Ji Ranxue questions.

This is the cheapest paper, a penny and a knife, the rise in prices has not affected it, it has not changed for decades, Wei Chongrun used this kind of paper when he was poor, and he did not dislike it when he was the prime minister, he put earthen paper in his book bag, reached out and took out a stack of cut square notes, took out a sharpened graphite core hard pen from the pen case, and answered it on a blank piece of paper.

For a moment, push the paper over.

Mo Ping looked at it for a while, picked up the graphite hard pen and wrote a few sentences on the blank paper, and pushed it over.

……

The two of them were so silent.

Although there is communication in the debate room, the sound is not loud, if it is not for the whole room to discuss the same topic, the voice of the discussion at each table will be deliberately suppressed, and more is the exchange of pen and ink on the paper - the most headache for beginners is actually those function formulas that calculate input and output, because the introductory books will explain the principles of Ji Ran very simply, and there are examples to help people understand, but even if the function formula has a derivation process, people who do not have a solid foundation in arithmetic are blind.

But these two did not discuss the functions of the Curanology, and if anyone saw the problems they communicated on paper, even the senior members of the Curanist Society would be dumbfounded, it was a point of view that was completely absent from the Calculinology books, and there were thought-provoking and shocking arguments, and the sharp arguments under the tips of their pens were even more exciting...... These two hard pens had also been used by the master in writing the manuscript last night, and the faithful and silent nib knew that some of the words on the clay paper were the contents of the master's manuscript.

The two exchanged pen tips silently, and an hour passed. Wei Chongrun packed up the pen and paper, got up first, and left. Mo Ping continued to sit for a while, looked at the answer sheets one by one, folded them, put them in the book bag, and got up to leave.

The two did not say a word from beginning to end.

But what should be said and what is wanted to be said has already been said.

***

The fact that the Imperial Prime Minister and the president of the Mojia and Ai Society meet regularly in the debate room is not a secret to those who have a news network.

But this cannot be used as a lever for Wei Chongrun's political enemies to attack him, and Yushi will not join him in forming a party. There is the crime of "forming a party for personal gain" in the Datang law, but the focus is on "personal gain", not "forming a party". Taizong said that if there are interests, there will be friends, can the emperor eliminate interests? No, then what's forbidden? Therefore, as long as you are not caught by the Jing'an Division and the Yushitai for forming a party for "personal gain" and "plotting illegality", or forming a party and bandits, or committing a traitor, the imperial court will not interfere with the freedom of private friendship of the subjects of the empire - of course, except for befriending important foreign figures, officials must report to the Jing'an Division.

Many people wanted to know what Wei Dazai talked about with the head of the Mo family—few people believed that these two were really engaged in academic exchanges. But in fact, these two were indeed discussing learning—Mo Ping was also a brilliant strategist, but when people talked about him, they always overshadowed his other brilliance because of the "head of the Mo family".

Although many people want to know what these two are talking about, and the content of this exchange must be in the earthen paper that the two of them answered, but no one wants to fight the idea of those earthen papers, these two must be protected by the grandmaster when they travel, who dares to block the road and rob without the strength of the grandmaster? Even if you have the strength of a grandmaster, you have to consider whether you can beat it, whether you will expose the number of ways you will do it, and if you find out your identity afterwards, etc., in short, the gains outweigh the losses, and it is not worth the risk.

In short, the meeting between the Prime Minister of the Empire and President Mo has been calm and unstable.

On this day, Moping returned home very calmly as usual, and there was no turmoil on the road.

His home is in Xicheng, only one square away from the library building, and it is a simple two-entry yard with more than a dozen big elm trees planted in the courtyard. This kind of tree is very common in the north, but it is difficult to solve and cut down, and very few can be made into furniture, and it is called "elm lump" by carpenters, and later it became a common saying to describe people who are stubborn and unenlightened. However, this kind of tree is planted in the homes of those who love the society and ink, and it seems to be a common feature.

One of the oldest elms in the courtyard is over a hundred years old, and its shade is so thick that it is shady even in the summer heat. At this time, an old man wearing a summer cloth robe sat on the couch under the tree, shaking a large pu fan with a white cloth edge, and when he saw Mo Ping, he shouted, "Ouch, if you don't come back, I'm going to sit out of the cocoon." ”

Mo Ping saw him and nodded in greeting, "Someone in the family is sick?" ”

When he went out, his family was healthy.

The imperial doctor ordered the big country to come to the door, what did he do?

Huangfu Ancun rolled his eyes, "Old friends can't come to see you?" "Of course there is something." ”

Don't play tricks in front of Mo Ping.

……

The two drank tea under a tree.

There are no slaves in Mo's family, there is only one hired worker in Moping's family who does pulp washing and helps cook, and the sencha hospitality has always been done by Moping's wife, and the fried tea is packed in a large clay pot with a handle, two pottery bowls, and placed on a small table on the bamboo couch - Moping's eldest son Cheng Jian stands next to him and pours tea.

Huangfu Ancun drank the tea of the Mo family, a penny and a bowl of coarse tea outside, he didn't look disgusted when he drank it, it seemed to be no different from the high-quality tea of thirty taels and one cake he drank at home - of course it was different, but in his heart, it didn't matter whether the tea was good or not, what mattered was what he was going to say.

This Imperial Doctor ordered from fart. A codex was drawn from under the thighs.

Cheng Jian had a feeling that he couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Mo Ping's thick black eyebrows also moved.

It's true that their Mo family respects simple etiquette, but they don't respect vulgarity - is this really the head of the five-hundred-year-old Xinglin family?

Taiyi Ling didn't mind his movements at all, and patted the notebook with his hand, "It's too thick, my son has copied the old for a long time, and it's too heavy to put it in my sleeve pocket, and it's too cumbersome to carry a bookbag...... When it comes to you, take it out and press it. Hehe, don't dislike it, it's clean, hurry up and see. ”

Mo Ping took it, and when he opened it and saw the title, the two thick black eyebrows raised.

He looked at it slowly.

His habit of reading has always been very slow, not the kind of person who reads quickly, he can browse ten lines at a glance, he reads word by word. After reading it, look back and look at it word by word; Then go back and go back three times before you finish a book.

Huangfu Ancun knew his habits, and he didn't rush him, and talked about it with Cheng on the side.

Mo Ping silently chewed some of the sentences in his heart:

"Public interest and disease prevention and health are not the welfare of the imperial court to the people, but the wealth of the country."

"The death of the people of the empire due to preventable diseases is estimated at two million a year, of which about one-third are cases of preventable diseases, which is a huge loss of wealth for the country in terms of per capita wealth produced."

Mo Ping remembered that Wei Chongrun had a similar point of view in the manuscript of the "Wealth of Nations" book exchanged with him, of course, not from a medical point of view, but simply on the average economic value of the population.

"Prevention for ten cents is better than treatment for one or two gold."

"Diseases from the mouth, contamination of drinking water, contamination of feces are the main culprits. Improving wells and building public wells can reduce at least 40 percent of young children dying from diarrhoea and dysentery. ”

Mo Ping nodded slightly, they have traveled a lot in the countryside of Mozhi County, of course, they know that children under the age of six or seven die the most is diarrhea and dysentery. If every county and village had such health care stations, with specially trained medical workers in charge of detoxifying wells, supervising the disposal of feces, and being able to do simple wound detoxification and first aid treatment, there would be no more children dying of diarrhea and tetanus. They were walking outside, and each of them had to carry a medical box, and if they touched it, they could save one. But there are so many counties and villages in the world, and even if there are more and more people who love the society, how can they compare with the strength of the country?

He's got it......

Shang Shuling discussed with him the public interest, the wealth of the country and the benefit of the people's livelihood.

It is also this "On Medical Treatment".

Huangfu An Cun saw him close the notebook, and knew that he had finished reading it, so he immediately said: "Lao Mo, you know, the prime ministers are not thinking about public interests. Of course, it's not the people's interests – they don't see themselves as the people. ”

"Shinong, industry and commerce, are all people." Mo Ping said in a flat and slow tone.

"Huh." Huangfu Ancun shook his pu fan, as if shaking his head, with a mocking look on his face.

"In the hearts of the people, they are soldiers, not people."

At that time, Emperor Gaozu wanted to abolish the nine-product Zhongzheng system since the Wei and Jin dynasties and set up the imperial examination to take scholars, but was opposed by the prime minister of the world, saying: "Your Majesty is to rule the world with scholars, not with the people." This scholar is the family of those who share privileges according to their rank and hold important official positions for generations, that is, the families on the genealogy of scholars.

The scholars do not think that they are the people, but the Shu people are.

"Now, not before." Mo Ping still spoke in a slow, calm tone.

As soon as King Sejong implemented reforms and expanded the imperial examinations, more and more children from the poor family were promoted to the rank of officials and scholars...... After 150 or 60 years of development, the class of scholars has already grown. In the hearts of the majority of readers, scholars, that is, scholars.

Of course, it is not a scholar who has read a book, but all those who have entered the official scholar's register, as well as those who are still agricultural and industrial students but have entered the school, are all scholars. The scope of this scholar is vast, and it is far from the original "scholar family".

Huangfu Ancun laughed, stretched out a finger, and bent it, "This is a shi." ”

Bend this finger, spread your hands flat, and straighten the other nine fingers, "This is the people." ”

With a population of hundreds of millions in the empire, how many "scholars" can be accounted for? Up to one finger. The remaining 90 percent are "people" - ordinary people.

"The interests of the people, in the hearts of the prime ministers, are the interests of the common people. What does it have to do with them? ”

The scholars believed that they were the emperor's ministers, and at the same time, they were also the emperor's ministers who ruled the world and ruled the common people; As for those backward Hanmen corporals, they are the executors of their rule over the common people, and it is okay to throw some bones at them, after all, it is necessary to give people an upward passage - with the hope of this green cloud road, those outstanding elements among the common people will be enveloped, and they will not have earth-shattering rebellion because of the hopelessness of the road ahead, and after they ascend, for the benefit of their own new life, they will also suppress the people below.

As for how the common people at the bottom are doing, the family will not care, as long as they farm and work in Anfen, and create benefits for their fields, factories, mines and other industries, they are good people. As for starvation, freezing and disease? That's a minority, the empire has such a population, and the family doesn't worry about the lack of labor—"there are only people who have no land to plant, and no land that no one has cultivated; There is only work that has no work, and there is no work that no one does. Huangfu Ancun slowly said this popular saying among the people, "So what kind of public benefit disease pre-health system, what does it have to do with the family?" ”

If a person from a family is sick, he must have the money to ask for treatment, and he must have the money to afford medicine; The place where the family lives must be the cleanest environment; The water that the family drinks is certainly not polluted; The land of the family's grain reincarnation must be free from dirt and mess, and there will be no danger of fecal pollution......

Those disease prevention and hygiene measures were of course a guarantee of health and life for the common people of the Tang Empire, but what was the use of the family?

The prime ministers of the family said very sincerely: "The system is huge, and the cost of the country's finances is huge, so we must carefully consider it and think about it in the long run." ”

Huangfu Ancun recounted the results of the morning meeting in the political hall in a pinched tone, of course, not talking about his news channels, shaking the big pu fan and rolling his eyes and laughing, "Therefore, there is no prime minister for the public good, and there is no prime minister for the benefit of the people, only the prime minister for the benefit." ”

The prime ministers he is talking about are, of course, referring to the prime ministers of the family.

"Wei Xiang alone, it's hard to support alone-oh no, plus one more Shao Xiang, that's two trees can't make a forest." Huangfu Ancun shook his head again, squinting at the president of the Mo family, who had the largest group of commoners in the empire.

Mo Ping took the rough big hand that had been a ploughing hoe and a craftsman and patted it on the notebook, and said in a deep and simple voice: "Good! Benefit the people, benefit the country. ”

He said that good is good, not exaggerated, not concealed, plain, true.

And the benefit of the people is before the benefit of the country.

It shows that the people are more important in his heart.

Huangfu An fell a stone in his heart, laughed, slapped his leg hard, and said, "Okay! - I know that your old Mo is a real man. ”

The Mo family, the chivalrous man, for the righteousness, the Moshi, for the Tao, go to the soup and the fire, and die without spinning.

Huangfu Ancun knew that once Mo Ping agreed with Shen Zhiyuan's sparseness, even if it was difficult and dangerous, he would do it seriously, just like the old elm tree in the courtyard, the elm was pimple, stubborn, and did not change.

……

Cheng Jian sent the imperial doctor's order on behalf of his father, turned around and closed the door, walked under the big elm tree in the courtyard, and said to his father: "Uncle Huangfu's purpose is divided into four points for public interests and six points for private interests. ”

He does not say "it should be" or "probably is", in order to be humble or a place of conversion, because his father taught him from an early age: no pretentiousness, no pretense, one is one, two is two, and it is a trivial matter to say something wrong; Mannerism, disguise, is the big thing. In his heart, he thought that the Taiyi Order was for the sake of this big system, which was conducive to the Huangfu clan that used medical Taoism to show its strength, establish merits, and make the family go to the next level, so he strongly supported it, and personally came to lobby his father to support the Mo family. Of course, as a doctor with medical ethics, the imperial physician Ling has compassion and compassion for the people who cannot afford to see the sick, and sincerely hopes that the imperial court can implement this disease prevention and health system to help these people. Therefore, Cheng Jian said: four are divided into public, and six are private.

Mo Ping said: "Public intentions may not produce good results, and selfishness may not be without good interests." ”

Those with good intentions may not necessarily do good things; Those who are selfish may not be able to benefit others as a result.

The ink man does things, focusing on the meaning, but more on the result.

Regardless of whether Shen Zhiyuan's intentions in building this system are pure or not, and regardless of the intentions of supporters such as Wei Chongrun and Huangfu Ancun, a little bit of it is for the benefit of the people, but as long as the result is beneficial to the ordinary people in the world, then do it!

They are not afraid of being used, as long as they are used in a valuable way.
