"Why, don't you believe me? Think I'm talking nonsense? Li Yuanying said with a slight mockery, and then without waiting for the other party to speak, he said an example, "As we all know, human beings feed on grains, and in the case of wheat, from a human point of view, it is true that we grow and feed wheat and use it as food, and wheat is no different from the pigs and sheep we raise in captivity."

But what if you look at it from a high vantage point, not from a human perspective? What about from the perspective of wheat? Wheat has enslaved generations of human beings to expand and reproduce for its lineage with its seeds alone, and if it were not for human intervention, wheat would have been nothing more than a sparse weed with little competitive advantage, and would never have developed to such a scale and status. ”

"Father-in-law, can you tell me whether it was humans who used wheat or wheat who used humans? Are humans smart, or are wheat smart? ”

This, this...... Cui Jun stood dumbfounded on the spot, speechless.

Xiao Doudou clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Wow, wheat is so smart, it's like doing business with humans, hehe, is wheat also a businessman, daddy?" How do you know this? Isn't it possible to chat with Wheat? Is it okay to teach me? ”

"Isn't it about making good food? Let's go, I'll cook for you first. Li Yuanying was about to leave with her daughter in her arms, but Cui Junxuan came back to her senses and stopped her: "Wait, can you tell me about your conditions?" ”

Xiao Doudou pouted and complained: "Grandpa, you don't want to do business with me, you have to find my father, look at you now, obviously you were cheated by my father...... Ahem, it's hard to eat, how about I talk to you after eating? ”

Li Yuanying glanced at her daughter, which means that you are careful when you speak, you are a small ghost, and you know that you are a little businessman, but if you dismantle your father and my platform, don't you want to go home?

Cui Junqiu took his granddaughter in his arms and said kindly: "Grandpa and you can only do a few comic book business, besides, didn't you buy it for you?" You don't understand the affairs of adults, this is not your grandfather talking to your father, but the entire Cui family. ”

In this way, the old man held his granddaughter on his lap and returned to the negotiating table with Li Yuanying.

"Virtuous son-in-law, have you ever thought that even if the old man discloses the Cui family's book collection and lets you use it to cultivate talents, you may not be able to cultivate the pillars of the country, people say that a century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, and a family have been operating for hundreds of years, and it is not that you can break the rules by spreading some books." Cui Junxuan seemed to want to regain the initiative, with an expression of victory.

Li Yuanying didn't answer, and asked with a playful smile: "Why don't we give it a try?" It's no problem to make a bet. ”

You...... Old man Cui was angry, glanced at him and said, "What about the imperial examination system created by Emperor Daye of the previous dynasty?" In the end, he didn't make a wedding dress for others, but also lost a country's luck. ”

"The imperial examination system is a precedent in history, and the future is destined to be prosperous, and temporary success or failure is not enough to prove anything, I believe that history will give the best answer in a few hundred years." Li Yuanying raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little tougher: "You summed up the fate of the former Sui in one sentence, are you warning me that the Tang Dynasty should not follow the old path of the fall of the former Sui?" ”

Cui Junqiu took a sip of the teacup, but did not speak.

Li Yuanying didn't care, and continued: "I believe that even if the imperial examination system made wedding dresses for others during the period of Emperor Daye and even during the Wude period, you are not effortless, you should have paid a lot of price, and even today you are still walking on thin ice and always vigilant.

Hehe, let go of this topic, just talk about things, you ask me what are the conditions? In fact, you don't understand my intentions at all, just for the sake of education, the collection of books without your Cui family is nothing, my collection, and even the royal collection are enough to teach and educate people. ”

Cui Jun was puzzled: "Oh? So why bother with it? ”

"Before you solve it, why don't you guess the puzzle: What is the best way to keep a drop of water from drying up?" Li Yuanying asked with a smile.

Cui Jun smiled: "It's simple, put it in a bottle, seal it, and children know it." ”

"Hahahaha, wrong, wrong, grandpa is so stupid." Xiao Doudou laughed unabashedly, which made the old Cui Tou so embarrassed.

Li Yuanying smiled calmly: "Doudou, do you have a better way?" ”

The little guy nodded heavily, "Well, if you want a drop of water not to dry up, the best way is to put it in more water, such as rivers, lakes, and ponds, right, Daddy, hehe, I thought what you were talking about, it turned out to be a brain teaser that we play every day." ”

I...... Put more water in it? This...... Cui Junxuan felt so stupid, too slap in the face, and just said that children know it.

Li Yuanying nodded and praised: "Doudou is so smart, your answer is completely correct, the accurate answer should be to put a drop of water into the sea, but you have never seen the sea, so it is right to answer lakes and rivers." ”

"The sea? Daddy, what does the sea look like, is it bigger than the river to the north? Xiao Doudou said curiously.

"It's big, the sea is full of water, it's boundless and wide, and you'll know if you have the opportunity to take it to see it."

"How big is big? How many rivers are there? Xiao Doudou asked, the big river she said is the Yellow River, she and Li Yuanying lived in Taiyuan before, and even went out to do business together, so she has seen the Yellow River.

Cui Junxuan coughed lightly: "Doudou, I want to look back at the sea, my grandfather took you there, and now I am talking to your father about business." Gorou, so to put in such a hard work, you are not for the selection of materials, but for the inheritance? ”

Nodding, Li Yuanying said earnestly with a reverie and reminiscence: "Yes, inheritance is not the inheritance of one family and one surname, but the inheritance of knowledge." Since the ancient sages founded the writing civilization, after more than 3,000 years, but every few hundred years to experience a war or successive disasters, how many classics and wisdom are damaged and lost in the long river of history, so far the population is increasing, but books are only available in a few of these aristocratic families, this is not the wish of the ancestors, nor is it what my generation of readers want to see, so we need to do something, that's all! ”

Yes, no wonder, no wonder to ask the question, how does a drop of water not dry up? In the same way, if the book of the sages is not lost, it must be widely circulated, and if everyone in the world has a collection, how can it be lost? A drop of water will never dry up again.

When Cui Junsui heard this, a kind of resonance and admiration spontaneously arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but respect this young son-in-law, put down his granddaughter, got up and saluted Li Yuanying respectfully, this salute is his virtue and ambition.

"Okay, the Cui family is also a poetry and book heirloom, how can you not do your best to cooperate? The old man convened everyone again to discuss and try to get everyone through. Cui Junqiu said earnestly.

Li Yuanying thanked him, "The original conditions remain the same, I will give you a set of collector's edition classics, which can be guaranteed for thousands of years, and if you get the collection of books from other families in the future, I will also share a set with you, so that different families have a complete collection of books, and even if there is any damage in the future, it will not break the inheritance." By the way, those who contribute to the collection of books will be recorded in the history books of the imperial court. ”

This last sentence made Cui Junqiu's eyes light up, pointing at Li Yuanying and scolding cunningly, for this big family that is not short of money, reputation is indispensable.

Xiao Doudou listened for a long time, and finally understood a rough idea, and said cutely: "Dad, it turns out that you want your grandfather's collection of books, it's so simple, I'll go and memorize a shelf a day, or it will all be moved into my head in less than a month, hehe, when the time comes, the two of us will do business, you can just give me money directly, I don't want money, you just give me food every day." ”

What? Really? Cui Junqiu doesn't believe it, this is not nonsense.

Li Yuanying patted his head: "Why did I forget this?" Doudou is born to never forget, what classics can be memorized after reading once, she has already finished reading the medical books in the palace, only five days, by the way, Doudou, how much have you read in your grandfather's house? ”

"Not much, I just read a book of ancient and modern texts, I've been playing outside for the past few days, I'm going to start reading tomorrow, my little cousin is not there, I have no one to play, I can only read books." The little one was a little bored.

Hehe, look, this is the stuffing, I've been here for a few days, and I've only read a book, what do you never forget? Old man Cui squinted his eyes and muttered to himself, saying in his heart, "What do the father and daughter want to scare me with their acting?

"Oh? That book, I know that one, that one is thick, how long have you been reading it? Li Yuanying asked pretending to be surprised.

"Not long, half an hour!"

Burst...... Old man Cui successfully fainted.
