The words were convincing to the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty, and the king was dumbfounded.

Ai Youwang thought for a while and asked, "Is it true that those who can solve the three problems are not wise!?" This hairless offspring has passed the age of destiny?"

Ah Man sneered and said, "The turtle eats fireflies, and each person has a mile." If my guess is correct, he must have supported an elderly man over sixty years old at home, and he can sing the song "Difficult to Retire". Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to understand so many truths at his age." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

As soon as Ah Man left the gate of the palace, Li Laosan immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The king forgives his sins!" The young king said: "You have relieved the crisis for the country and saved face for the lonely king, you deserve to be rewarded, what is the crime?"

Li Laosan told the cause and effect, and everyone present was stunned.

This Li Laosan is not an ordinary person, but the third son of the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Li. One morning ten years ago, Li Shangshu called all three sons to his side and asked, "How do you say that your father has always treated your children?" The three sons all said in unison, "Father treats the child like a baby!"

"In that case, how will you repay your father in the next life?"

The eldest said, "In the next life, I will turn into a cow, and let you plough the fields and harrow the fields, do the heaviest work, eat the worst fodder, and do not complain of bitterness and tiredness, so as to repay my father's kindness for self-denial and treatment of his children." "

The second child said: "Father has such a good heart, he will definitely be able to be a great official in the next life, and I would like to become a horse and eat grass to repay the kindness of your old man's upbringing." "

After hearing this, Master Li said happily, "You are all my filial sons. "

Li Laosan said disapprerovingly: "If my father really has an afterlife, you will be reincarnated as my son." "

Lord Li was so angry that his face flushed: "What are you talking about, is it not good for you to be a father?"

The third child knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said, "No! Father, you have misunderstood, because you are my father in this life and treat me so well, it is so unfair that in two years we will eat your flesh or starve you to death. If you become my son in the next life, I will treat you as you have treated me, and when I am old, you will treat me as I have treated you in this life, so that the child's soul can be comforted. "

After listening to his son's words, Master Li was so excited that he burst into tears, and hurriedly helped him up, and the father and son hugged their heads and cried. The third child immediately vowed: "The child is willing to risk the death penalty to let his father spend his old age comfortably." "

Two years later, Li Shangshu turned sixty years old, and he starved to death when he returned to Shangshu's mansion. Li Laosan hid his father in a pre-prepared basement and secretly delivered food, tea, and water every day. In order not to disturb my brother and sister-in-law, I separated from them on the day my father returned home.

Except for the house with a basement, Li Laosan gave the rest of his property to his brother and sister-in-law.

Ten days later, he sent a fake corpse made of cooked food into the forest, where it was quickly eaten by wild beasts. So far, Lao Shangshu has spent eight years in the basement, and under the careful care of his third son, he is still very strong. This was originally a happy event, but Lao Shangshu was worried about it.

As the saying goes: there is no such thing as an impermeable wall. He felt that the longer he lived, the greater the risk his son would take for himself.

Three days ago, on the morning when Li Laosan brought breakfast to his father, Master Li noticed that his son was full of sadness, so he asked him what was on his mind.

Li Laosan said: "When the children went to the street early this morning to buy breakfast, they found many people gathered around to see something, and they squeezed forward to see that it was the emperor's list. "

While eating, Lao Shangshu listened to his son talk about the content of the emperor list and the causes and consequences, and after the meal was finished, there was a way to solve the three problems, so he persuaded his son to "try it".

On that day, Li Laosan made some necessary preparations according to his father's instructions.

Early this morning, he confidently went to unveil the recruitment list.

He didn't expect to recruit any horses, but only for the purpose of sharing worries for the country, solving problems for the people, and gaining a little face for the young king.

Unexpectedly, not only was his "privacy" seen through by the envoys of the lion kingdom at a glance, but also caused the young king and the civil and military officials to suffer a sulk.

Li Laosan saw that the matter had come to this point, so he had no choice but to tell the truth and ask the young king to convict.

When the young king heard this, he couldn't help but roar and said, "It's a widow!" After saying that, he held his head in his hands and was silent.

Seeing that the young king of the criminal department was furious, Lord Shangshu Wang immediately ordered: "Push out this villain who deceives the monarch and behead the public!"

When the golden boy saw this, a nameless fire rushed straight to his head, and he couldn't wait to spew out the true fire of Samadhi and burn the palace to the ground. Before he could breathe fire, a stone had already fallen in front of him with a "bang".

He picked it up and looked at it, only to see two sentences written on it: the first sentence is: The melon is ripe, and it will come naturally.

The second sentence is: You can't eat hot porridge if you are in a hurry.

The golden boy thought that it was the White Crane Fairy reminding him again, but when he looked up, it was Guanyin Niangniang beckoning to him in mid-air, and then he realized that the so-called envoy of the Lion Country was just the incarnation of Guanyin Niangniang, and an inexplicable force not only forced him to quickly quell the nameless fire, but also immediately produced a kind of "sleeve on the bank of the Yellow River, proudly watching the overturned boat" mentality.

After making a bet with the golden boy, Guanyin Niangniang did not rush to reincarnate, she first became an old woman begging for food between the urban and rural areas of the child-loving country, and at the same time investigating the reasons why they did not provide for the elderly.

They searched and found that they were short of food in the first place.

A bucket of rice can only harvest 100 catties of rice, and it is difficult to harvest 1,000 catties of wheat in 10 acres.

In order to survive, people mainly live by eating Guanyin soil and the meat of the elderly. This is one of them.

The second is that they don't know what it means to respect the elderly, and they think that after locking their parents in the cellar and starving to death, they are thrown into the wilderness to be eaten by crows and wild dogs.

The reason is that they didn't eat their parents' meat, but also let them enjoy the "sky burial", which is not a filial son who can do it.

In addition, the national "Code" clearly stipulates that the elderly over the age of 60 must either be killed and eaten, or put in the cellar. If there are those who do not abide by the "Code", it is the court officials who should be investigated for the crime of bullying the king, and it is the common people who should correct the law on the spot.

For this matter, in addition to legal guarantees, there is also the national anthem of "The Old Man is Hard to Raise" as evidence.

Guanyin Niangniang first compiled a ballad of "Difficult to Raise" for the national anthem.

It's hard to raise children, it's hard to raise children, and all of them are average.

When giving birth, the line of life and death is just like going through the underworld.

I was born to eat tea and rice, and I was afraid of being hot and cold.

Feces and urine often wet clothes, and parents sleep wet and dry.

Guanyin Niangniang sang "Difficult to Raise" while trying to increase the yield of grains in the child-loving country.

This summer, she became an old woman who fled the famine and begged for food, singing "Difficult to Raise" while begging for food.

She didn't go far before an old mother carrying a rice bucket was attracted by her singing, put down the rice bucket and asked, "Old woman, where did you learn this song?" Why do you sing the way I thought it would?"

Guanyin Niangniang said mysteriously: "The bosom friend says and the bosom friend listens, not the bosom friend does not talk." This song was taught to me by a god in a dream. The gods said that the way of loving the young country should also change, and you can't just love the young and not respect the old......"

The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and the old mother insisted that Guanyin Niangniang teach her "Difficult to Raise Children". Guanyin Niangniang said: "I haven't eaten or drunk for three days, how can I have the strength to teach you to sing." The old mother said, "You teach me to sing "It's Hard to Raise Children", and I'll add food to you." "

As a result, the song was taught, and the meal was finished.

The old mother not only did not regret it, but said: "It's worth a meal for such a good song!"

Guanyin Niangniang said: "It's rare for you to be such a good bosom friend, and it's rare for you to have such a good conscience." In order to thank you, I will teach you a way, which is to give you an acre of land and make 100 quintals of grain every year. "

The old mother said, "It's good to be able to earn 50 quintals a year, but it was less than 35 quintals before." ”

"Okay, let's just follow what you said about fifty quintals." Guanyin pointed to the stone where he had just sat and eaten, and said: "In the future, before planting rice every year, you will send a pile of manure the size of this stone every day, as long as you send it for seven days, after all of it is in the field, you will have three plows and four rakes, and then plant the seedlings." If you plant the seedlings and then cut the grass seven times, you can beat 50 quintals every year. "

The old mother listened in disbelief, and suddenly found that the old woman was gone, and the stone looked like a hill. The old mother quickly told her daughters-in-law about this strange thing.

They did so with the attitude of trying it out, and the ears of rice that year grew like a dog's tail, and everyone praised them when they saw them. After the autumn, beat it down with a bucket, no more, no less, exactly fifty quintals.
