Chapter 113: Huo Guang Talks About Biology! Natural selection of the fittest to survive
After picking cotton during the day, at night, Huo Guang couldn't bear the warm invitation of the big farmer Ling Yanyi, and went to his home as a guest.
Yan Yi is an honest official.
Qing officials, basically the family is very poor. Naturally, I can't invite Huo Guang to eat any good wine.
It was the two side dishes made by Yan Yu that suited Huo Guang's appetite.
At this time!
Yan Yi raised his glass and drank with Huo Guang.
Both of them took a sip, not to taste the wine, but for fear of drinking it all at once.
"Tsk..."
Danong Ling smashed his mouth, as if he had drunk a peerless wine. After putting down the wine glass, he asked Huo Guang, "Huo Yilang, I remember, you studied under the Confucian Dong Sheng, right?"
Huo Guang nodded and said, "Yes, it's actually not a teacher, but now I'm still studying at Dong Laonameng."
In fact!
He still resisted a little from the bottom of his heart, and let Dong Zhongshu's fame be linked to himself.
However, Danong Ling Yan Yi smiled and said, "Since you are a learner, you are a disciple, how can you say that you are not a teacher."
Huo Guang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "If the Great Farmer Order says yes, then it is!"
The label of multiple Confucian disciples on his body was not a bad thing in the Han Dynasty.
Someone else has to say.
Then let's go!
However.
At this moment, the honest man smiled and said, "Since you studied under Dong Sheng, then, according to your seniority, you have to call me Master!"
"Huh?" Huo Guang suddenly frowned, and said in confusion: "What does the Great Nong Ling mean by this, could it be that you have something to do with Dong Lao?"
Relationship?
There's a fart relationship!
Only I know what I know.
Throughout his life, Dong Lao did not have a master in the true sense, and most of the Confucian knowledge he studied belonged to the kind of self-taught.
But if you don't have a teacher, it doesn't sound good to say!
Thereupon!
The famous Dong Zhongshu, to the outside world, generally calls Ram Shou his teacher.
Who is Ram Shou?
It is said that he was the person who wrote "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Ram", but it is impossible to find out whether there is such a person.
So Yan Yi said that he was his own master?
Huo Guang is a hundred unbelievers.
However!
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Da Nong Ling smiled and said, "Do you know who the famous Ziyuan was during the Spring and Autumn Period?"
"Ziyuan?"
Huo Guang's mind was running wildly, but he really didn't think of such a person.
Immediately.
He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Da Nong Ling, I have a short view, I really don't know who it is?"
"Yanzi!" Yan Yi immediately reminded.
However.
Huo Guang didn't understand too much, so he repeated lightly, "Ah, Yanzi?"
"What swallow, I'm talking about Confucius's most proud disciple, Yan Hui, one of the ten philosophers of Confucius, the head of the seventy-two sages, and the tenth ancestor of the Yan family now!" Yan Yi said angrily, "Why, that Dong Sheng claims to be a Confucian power, and can misinterpret the meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period, so he doesn't introduce these things to you?"
Seeing Da Nong Ling like this, he seems to be a little angry.
Huo Guang suddenly frowned, feeling a little helpless in his heart.
I thought to myself.
You just say Yan Hui directly!
What are you talking about?
As for who Yan Hui is?
He is the refuge of later generations, and he is also one of the so-called five great sages of Confucianism.
Pity.
This is the Han Dynasty, and Yan Hui has not yet been listed as a saint.
It's ridiculous to say.
There are some saints who are not famous in life, but they become saints after death. That is to say, the ancients who were canonized by later generations are holy!
Huo Guang raised his eyebrows, looked at the big farmer Ling Yanyi, and asked curiously, "It turns out that you are talking about Yan Yuan, of course I know this, but I didn't expect this Confucian predecessor to be yours."
The tenth ancestor, disrespectful and disrespectful. But what does this have to do with me studying under Dong Gong?"
Yan Yi immediately said, "Why is it not related, Dong Sheng claims to have studied the Ram School and studied under Ram Shou."
"And the Ram Theory, all theories come from the Spring and Autumn Period!"
"My ancestor also participated in Master's book "Spring and Autumn". What Dong Sheng learned came from "The Ram", and "The Ram" relied on "Spring and Autumn" to be established."
"Convert."
"It's not too much for you to call me Master!"
Ooh~
Have honest people also learned to take advantage of others?
Or rather.
Confucianism likes to do such far-fetched things? Interpret everything as interrelated!
Seeing Yan Yi's appearance, Huo Guang was not used to it, and immediately said, "Da Nong Ling's words, I'm afraid I didn't say it after drinking too much. Otherwise, if it gets out, it will make people laugh and lose their big teeth!"
"Why do you say that?" Yan Yi asked knowingly.
"Why? Hehe..." Huo Guang had some disdain on his face, and arched his hand: "I really listen to your words, such as listening to your words in vain!"
"If you think so!"
"Is that possible to infer the following?"
"I am equal to a man, and your father is equal to a man. A man equals a man, am I equal to your father?"
Yan Yi listened.
It exploded immediately, and when he stood up, he was about to beat Huo Guang, and scolded: "Shaft, you dare to insult my father, look for a beating!"
"You were the one who insulted my IQ first!"
Huo Guang immediately dodged over, his skills were much more agile than Yan Yi's old guy.
And Yan Yu, who was cooking, heard the quarrel, so she ran out and asked, "Father, didn't you invite Huo Yilang as a guest, why did you fight with the guests?"
Now.
Yan Yi, who was a big farmer, didn't chase Huo Guang anymore, and said to Yan Yu, "Yu'er, you don't understand this. We call it drinking and having fun, and the literati are elegant. Don't talk about it, let's pour wine for my father and Huo Yilang."
"Okay."
Yan Yu nodded, then listened to his father's words, and stepped forward to pour wine for his father and Huo Guang.
Then.
The big farmer ordered Huo Guang, who was about to run away, and said, "Huo Yilang, what are you still doing standing there, come and drink."
"That's right."
"About White Stacks... Well, I haven't asked for advice about cotton breeding."
"How do you choose this cotton?"
When Yan Yi said this, Huo Guang also walked back with a cautious face.
At this time.
Coincidentally, Yan Yu was pouring wine for Huo Guang, the two were a little close to each other, and Huo Guang, who was kneeling in the seat, looked up and looked at her proud figure twice.
"It's huge!" Huo Guang sighed softly.
However.
Unfortunately.
Yan Yi heard this, and immediately asked, "Really... What the hell, can Huo Yilang repeat it?"
When Huo Guang heard this, he realized his situation, and immediately said, "I mean, when cotton breeding, seeds with large particles and high cotton yield are selected. There are also the ones that need to be strong during the growth period of cotton plants, and you can't have sick seedlings!"
When Yan Yi heard this, he nodded immediately and said, "Oh, Huo Yilang is talented and intelligent, I didn't expect that he even knew about cultivating seeds?"
Huo Guang immediately waved his hand and said, "I was born in a country family since I was a child, of course I know some about these."
"It's like my mother's thing."
"She likes to give priority to the large, harvested plants, leaving the small, diseased seedlings as seeds."
"As time goes by, the seasons change."
"In the next few years, our family will not be able to eat many good vegetables, and we will even have to borrow some seeds from our neighbors to continue planting."
Hear Huo Guang's introduction.
Yan Yi immediately laughed and said, "Honorable Mother is a little interesting, Huo Yilang is so smart, why
Why don't you persuade me?"
Huo Guang immediately shook his head and said, "I can't say it, how can I be a son to preach to my mother, isn't this a violation of filial piety? Besides, I don't dare to say it, because if I talk too much, I'm afraid that my mother will beat me with a broom."
Side.
Yan Yu listened to Huo Guang's words, and also giggled and smiled.
Huo Guang glanced at Yan Yu and said, "What's so funny about this, isn't it normal for children to be beaten by their parents?"
Yan Yu's face changed immediately, and he didn't smile anymore.
Looks like.
The mood seems to be getting bad.
Huo Guang didn't care about this detail, and only continued to himself: "Have you ever heard the phrase 'natural selection, survival of the fittest'?"
Yan Yi immediately shook his head and said, "No."
Of course he hadn't heard it, after all, it was the words of a biological scientist eighteen centuries later.
Although Yan Yi has never heard of it!
But this did not prevent Huo Guang from taking it out and filling it in a cup!
"Ahem!" Huo Guang cleared his throat and explained to Yan Yi with a preachy look: "This natural selection means that if all things in heaven and earth want to survive, they must compete with each other. Survival of the fittest, only the victors, or adaptors, can survive."
"For cotton, cereals, and so on."
"We who sow are their heavens!"
"We have to choose the best of the seeds and leave them for future generations to sow. What is not good is reduced to our food, or we get rid of it."
After hearing this, Yan Yi smiled faintly and said, "It's really like listening to your words, listening to your words in vain!"
Boy!
What about learning from yourself?
Scold...
The so-called honest people are not honest at all.
Huo Guang looked at Yan Yi, raised his wine glass helplessly, took a sip, and said, "Da Nong Ling, in fact, I can't drink yet, and I have already lost a bad reputation as a guest in the mansion today."
"If it's talking, don't speculate?"
"I think I'd better go back first!"
Hear that.
Yan Yu stood up directly and said, "Isn't it good to chat, just now my father said something about drinking and having fun, the literati are elegant, why Huo Yilang suddenly wants to leave?"
Look at Yan Yu like this.
Huo Guang seemed to understand a little in his heart, how Yan Yi's attitude towards himself felt something was not right.
Originally.
It's from his daughter.
At this time.
Yan Yi suddenly said to Yan Yu, "Yu'er, why do I smell a burning smell?"
When Yan Yu heard this, she remembered something.
Immediately surprised, quickly ran to the cooking room to check.
Seeing his daughter leave.
Danong Ling Yan was surprised and then asked Huo Guang, "What does Huo Yilang think of Xinu?"
Female Interest.
In fact, it was a title for his daughter in front of others during the Han Dynasty.
When Huo Guang heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and asked curiously, "Why did the Great Nong Ling ask me this, Ben Yilang is thirteen years old, and he has not yet performed the crown salute. Is there a mistake with whom you are asking?"
However.
Yan Yi shook his head and said, "Huo Yilang has thought too much, I don't want to marry my daughter to you."
"Oh?" Huo Guang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what do you mean by that?"
Yan Yi smiled faintly and said, "Huo Yilang is the champion Hou brother, the hussar general has surpassed the merits of General Wei at a young age, and in the future, you two brothers will have an unlimited future in the imperial court."
Is this a deliberate stammer?
That's not right!
If it was someone else to slap Huo Guang, it would be reasonable.
Who is Yan Yi!
It was a direct minister who even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dared to scare, and at the same time he was one of the nine kings
The Great Agricultural Order is in charge of the country's economic officials.
Can he stammer himself?
Who believes this!
Huo Guang immediately shook his head, frowned, and said, "If there is something wrong with the Great Agricultural Order, please say it directly!"
Hearing Huo Guang's words, Yan Yi immediately smiled and said, "Huo Yilang is really smart, then I'll say it directly."
"In the past two days, Yan watched the sky at night, and suddenly felt his heart throbbing, and a faint sense of crisis came from his heart."
"So."
"So I asked someone to give me a divination, the six yin phases, this is a sign of calamity."
"Huo Yilang."
"If something happens to Yan one day, can you take care of the descendants of my Yan family?"
Watching the sky at night?
Or the six calamities or something?
Good guys, what's going on here!
Huo Guang didn't believe this set from birth, and immediately said, "Danong Ling, what you said, in fact, I don't believe it. If you can really tell calamity, why don't you hide?"
Yan Yi replied, "This is fate, you can't hide it."
Scold!
Hits? Can't hide yet?
Feudal superstition!
Huo Guang immediately shook his head and sighed, "If there is really such a disaster, Danong Ling, as a courtier, is afraid that his relatives and friends will not have a low status. Why are you left alone with me, an outsider?"
However.
Yan Yi arched his hand at this time and said, "Wrong, Huo Yilang, Yan is not asking you alone."
"After."
"I'm going to tell my friends and relatives about it."
Isn't this the scumbag routine of casting a wide net, collecting more fish, and choosing the best and following them?
Hehe!
Fortunately, Yan Yi was not born in modern times, otherwise, he would be a scumbag again.
After Huo Guang thought about it, he immediately arched his hand and said, "If there is really that day, if I can, I will take care of Sister Yu'er."
"Still."
"It's just divination, not real."
"Boy, I still think that the big farmer is a little unfounded."
"Then thank Huo Yilang first." Yan Yi didn't refute Huo Guang's words, but just shook the empty wine jar and sighed: "In Yan's life, he consciously is worthy of the sky and the earth, and he is worthy of the people of the Han Dynasty."
"I didn't take good care of Yu'er."
"I'm ashamed of her mother..."
......
......
Two days later, the news that the border of the Han Dynasty had been plundered by the Xiongnu cavalry reached the ears of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Immediately.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty, who has been in a state of malaise in recent days, heard the word "Xiongnu", and immediately felt like a chicken blood, full of energy.
Not much to say.
directly held a three-day meeting of the ministers. This is a rare thing in the Han court.
Of course.
Such meetings.
Like Huo Guang, a 600-stone councilor, he can't participate in it without an edict.
Now.
Inside the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was furious, looked at the hundred officials below, and couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "Two years ago, I wanted to raise troops to the north to fight the Huns who were far away in the desert north."
"You say."
"The Huns have been driven to Mobei, and they can't become a climate."
"I also want to restrain my belligerent heart, what to stop fighting and resting, and a lot of from the beginning of the people!"
"And now?"
"Say!"
"Why don't you speak?"
"Huh?"
"The cavalry of the Huns has all hit the Hetao area, burning and looting my people, why don't you three princes and nine ministers who are greedy for comfort stop talking?"
"Huh?"
"All of them are dumb!"
