Zigong Bairen and Zilu Shouniu are the stories recorded in “Lu Shi Chun Qiu”.

There is a law in the State of Lu: If the Lu people meet their compatriots in a foreign country and become slaves, as long as they can redeem these people to help them regain their freedom, they can get compensation and rewards from the state.

Zigong, a student of Confucius, redeemed the Lu people from a foreign country, but refused the state’s compensation.

The son said: Taking the gold will not harm your business, and if you do not take the gold, there will be no redemption.

It means that Zi Gong does not receive any money, and no one will redeem for Lu Kingdom in the future. Because Zi Gong is not short of money, it does not mean that others are not short of money.

Because of the precedent of Zigong, other Lu people may not be embarrassed to receive state compensation and rewards. As a result, no one is willing to redeem Lu people from abroad.

While Zilu rescued a drowning man, the man thanked him, gave him a cow, and Zilu accepted it.

Confucius said happily: “From now on, the people of Lu will have the courage to save those who fell into the water.”

Zigong redeemed people and Zilu Shouniu, mainly to explain, contrary to common sense and rebellion The morality of human relations is the most evil thing in the world.

To infinitely raise the standard of morality, or to treat personal morality as public morality, the two methods will only get one result. This is to embarrass morality and make ordinary people feel bad about morality, and then go further. Moral away.

All the bigwigs present, including Li Er, naturally understand this truth, but they dont understand that this is related to what Li Wangyou said?

Li Wangyou pointed to the waterwheel on the riverside and said: “If I don’t ask Magicstrate Yang to ask for farming cattle, but donate it to the court for free, I would like to ask in this world, who is willing to go to the study of things? Study the theory of applying the world to the application? Everyone simply waits for others to create and then use it. How is this different from the Zi Gong Pao Ren?”

” Lilai, the worlds hustle and bustle are all good things. Zilu Shouniu seems to have lost a little bit, but it can encourage people to do good. For the immortality of Great Tangs Country, I asked Magistrate Yang to ask for compensation. Is there anything wrong?”

He has this remark, but Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji and the others don’t know how to refute.

The truth seems right, but it violates the principle of imperial power in the last ages.

If you give, you should be rewarded. This is what Li Wangyou meant by these two allusions.

Li Er dissatisfied with a lightly snorted sentence: “Does His Highness ask you for this waterwheel technology, and you have to charge him for farming cattle?”

“Why not?” Li Wangyou strangely said: “Isnt it possible to buy items in the Imperial Palace without paying any money? Why does His Highness want to take things from my house by force?”

“The court will naturally have rewards, how to call robs “Li Er said angrily.

“Why reward? This is what I deserved, why did it become a reward to me by the court? Take my things, and then give alms to me. Isn’t this a robber?” Li Wangyou eyes The child is almost up to the sky.

Li Er, who choked with his words, was speechless for a while, speechless.

Li Er has the urge to take off his boots and pump him, this bastard youngster, don’t save me a bit of face!

I was stunned again!

Li Wangyou’s words made everyone feel the urge to cover their faces with their sleeves. This youngster is coming back.

Everyone present, with the exception of Yang Zuan, had seen Li Wangyou’s first two encounters with Li Er. That is to say, Li Er is open-minded, otherwise Li Wangyou’s grave head grass should be three feet tall, right?

Yang Zuan was very anxious, and hurriedly said: “Ziyou, how do you talk, please reply!”

Fang Xuanling also coughed slightly: “Duke Li means to say, Chaotang rewards will only be more. Why did the small master only use this waterwheel and soil improvement method in exchange for trifling twenty cattle?”

“Magistrate Yang would not give it.” Li Wangyou murmured.

Fang Xuanling is also depressed. Does this youngster understand himself?

In fact, Li Wangyou naturally knows that if he dedicates the waterwheel manufacturing method to Great Tang in the name of contribution, he may get far more, and he may even be conferred a title. impossible.

The problem is that he is not happy!

Firstly, he is unwilling to be an official, and secondly, Li Wangyou is also a stubborn ass.

Just as he said, it is clearly my thing, and I am willing to sell 20 cattle. Why should the court officials reward themselves with charity?

Young Grandpa, Im not waiting!

Li Er was so angry at Li Wangyou’s words that he almost planned to leave with his robe.

This bastard youngster should be caught fiercely by Cheng Yaojin, otherwise he will not learn to speak well.

He started to regret his microservices tour today, why didn’t he bring Cheng Yaojin with him.

In Zhang Liang’s mansion that day, Cheng Yaojin beat Li Wangyou ass-stock, but Li Erdu felt extremely happy…This bastard youngster should be so cleaned up.

The face-swept Li Er simply ignored Li Wangyou, leaving behind a sentence of “wonderful skill and ingenuity”, and turned around to observe the three hundred acres of saline soil improved rice fields.

From this look, Li Er couldn’t help but want to take off his boots and smoke Li Wangyou.

He didn’t bother to talk nonsense with Li Wangyou, a youngster, turned his head and looked towards Yang Zuan, who was standing on the side, and said angrily: “Magistrate Yang, why are the seedlings in this rice field planted in such a mess? You guys? This is how the County Official supervises farming?”

Li Er refers to the two-acre rice field that Li Wangyou asked to use the seedling throwing method.

Compared with the surrounding rice fields, the rice seedlings in these two acres of rice fields are simply horrible.

In other rice fields, the rice seedlings are horizontal and vertical, and the rows are neatly arranged, which makes people feel pleasing to look at.

And in these two acres of land, the rice is disorderly, inserted into the rice fields indiscriminately, Li Erhuo is watching.

Even Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling and the others can see it again and again. I feel that Li Family small master is still young and has no interest in this farming.

Sow rice seedlings so casually. When the autumn harvest comes, what good harvest will you have?

Even if Li Family does not have to rely on the harvest in the fields, it is disrespectful to waste the land in this way, and even seriously violated “Tang Law”.

In Great Tang, if the land is abandoned, it will be arrested into the County Official, and it will be a lawsuit.

Agricultural society, as long as it is not an extremely confused king, attaches great importance to agriculture.

In Li Er’s opinion, Li Wangyou’s two acres of rice fields are completely ruining the land. So Q Xiang Yang Zuan’s words also brought a bit of anger.

Why would Yang Zuan understand why Li Wangyou grows rice like this? Seeing that Li Er’s tone is not good, he couldn’t help being a little bit shy, and quickly turned his attention to Li Wangyou for help.

“Ziyou, you can explain to Duke Li quickly.”

When Li Wangyou rolled his eyelids and wanted to commit a messy diss, Li Er heard it from a distance. Come to the laugh that makes him have one’s hair stand on end.

“wow hahaha, Virtuous nephew, I am coming to see you this little doll again!”
