Chapter 188

Zi Gong redeems people and Zi Lu receives cattle, which is a story recorded in Lu's spring and Autumn Annals.

There is a law in the state of Lu: if Lu people see their compatriots suffer misfortune and become slaves in foreign countries, they can get compensation and rewards from the state as long as they can redeem these people and help them restore their freedom.

Zi Gong, a student of Confucius, redeemed the people of Lu from abroad, but refused the state's compensation.

Confucius said: if you take the money, it won't hurt your behavior. If you don't take the money, you won't redeem anyone.

It means Zigong doesn't accept money. No one will go to redeem people for the state of Lu in the future. Because Zigong is not short of money, it does not mean that others are not short of money.

However, due to the precedent of Zigong, other Lu people may not be interested in receiving state compensation and rewards. In this way, no one is willing to redeem Lu people from abroad.

Zilu saved a drowning man. The man thanked him and sent him a cow. Zilu accepted it.

Confucius said happily, "the people of Lu will have the courage to save the drowning people from now on."

Zi Gong redeemed people and Zi Lu received cattle mainly to illustrate that the morality of violating normal conditions and human feelings is the most evil thing in the world.

To raise the moral standard infinitely, or to regard personal morality as public morality, the two methods will only get one result, which is to embarrass morality, make ordinary people pale at the smell of morality, and then go far away from morality.

All the leaders present, including Li Er, naturally understand this truth, but they don't understand that it has something to do with what Li forgets to worry about?

Li Qieyou pointed to the waterwheel by the river and said, "if I don't ask Yang Ming's house to ask for cattle, but give it to the court for free, who will be willing to learn about grid things in the future? Study the study of practical use? Just wait for others to create it and use it. What's the difference between this and Zigong's redemption?"

"As the saying goes, all the bustle in the world is for profit, and all the bustle in the world is for profit. Zi Lu's acceptance of cattle seems to have lost a small section, but it can encourage people to be good. What's wrong with me asking Yang Ming's house for compensation for the YONGGU of the Tang Dynasty?"

His words made Li Er and Chang sun Wuji and others don't know how to refute.

The truth seems right, but it is contrary to the principle of supremacy of imperial power for thousands of years.

Pay, you should be rewarded, which is the meaning of Li forget you's two allusions.

Li Er was dissatisfied and hummed: "did the sage ask you for this waterwheel technology, and you have to charge him for farming cattle?"

"Why not?" Li forgot to worry. "Don't you give money to buy things in the imperial palace? Why do saints want to forcibly seize my things?"

"Naturally, there will be rewards in the court. How to call it robbery?" Li Er angrily said.

"Why do you want a reward? I deserve it. Why did the court reward me? It's not a robber to take my things and give them to me?" Li forgot his eyes and turned to the sky.

His words choked Li Eryi and he was speechless.

Li Er has the impulse to take off his boots and smoke him. This bastard won't save me any face!

You've been killed again!

Li's words made everyone have the impulse to cover their faces with sleeves. The boy is coming again.

All the people present, except Yang Zuo, had seen the scene of Li forgetful's two previous attacks on Li Er. That is, Li Er Xin is broad-minded, otherwise Li forgets to worry that the graveyard grass should be three feet high?

Yang Zuan was so anxious that he quickly said, "Ziyou, how can you talk? Talk back!"

Fang Xuanling also coughed: "Li Gong means that there will only be more rewards from chaotang. Why did Xiao Lang exchange only this waterwheel and the method of improving the soil for a mere 20 cattle?"

"How much you want Yang Ming's house not to give it." Li forgot to worry and muttered.

Fang Xuanling was also depressed. Did the boy understand his words?

In fact, Li forgets to worry. Naturally, he knows that if he offers the method of making waterwheel to the Tang Dynasty in the name of sacrifice, he may get far more. Maybe it is not impossible to be an official and a baron.

But the problem is that he doesn't like it!

One is unwilling to be an official, and the other is that Li forget you is also a small stubborn donkey.

As he said, it is clearly my thing, and I am willing to sell 20 farm cattle. Why should those hall leaders reward themselves in the way of charity?

I won't serve you!

Li Er was so angry at Li's forgetful words that he almost planned to leave with his clothes.

This bastard should be caught by Cheng Yaojin, or he won't learn to talk well.

He began to regret that he didn't bring Cheng Yaojin with him when he went on a tour in micro clothes today.

That day in Zhang Liang's house, Cheng Yaojin beat Li forgetful fart share, but Li Er felt very happy... This bastard should clean up like this.

Li Ergan, who had been swept away, ignored Li forgetting his worries, left a sentence of "strange skills and obscenity", and turned to observe the rice field improved from 300 mu of saline alkali land.

Seeing this, Li Er couldn't help but want to take off his boots and smoke Li.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li forget worry, a bastard. He turned to one side and respectfully respected Yang Zuan. He angrily said, "Yang Mingfu, why are the seedlings in this rice field planted in such a mess? Is that how your county government urges farming?"

Li Er refers to the two Mu paddy field planted by Li QIAOYOU by throwing seedlings.

Compared with the surrounding rice fields, the of rice seedlings in these two Mu rice fields is simply terrible.

In other rice fields, rice seedlings are horizontal and vertical, neat in rows and columns, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

In these two acres of land, those rice were disorganized and randomly inserted into the rice field. Li Er was very angry.

Company commander sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were also shaken. They felt that Li Xiaolang was still young and didn't care about the farming at all.

If you sow rice seedlings so casually, what good harvest can you have when the autumn harvest comes?

Even if the Li family didn't have to live on these harvests in the fields, it was disrespectful to waste so much land. Even in a serious way, it violated the sparse discussion of the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

In Datang, if the land is abandoned, it will be caught in the county government and sued.

Agricultural society, as long as it is not a king who is extremely confused, attaches great importance to farming.

In Li Er's opinion, Li forgets to worry about these two acres of paddy fields, which is completely wasting the land. Therefore, the words asked to Yang Zuo also brought some anger.

Yang Zuan could not understand why Li forgot to worry about growing rice. Seeing that Li Er's tone was not good, he couldn't help but be a little frightened and quickly turned his eyes to Li forgot to worry for help.

"Ziyou, please explain it to Li Gong."

Li forgot to worry. When he turned his eyelids and wanted to make a mess DIS, Li Er heard another creepy laugh not far away.

"Wow, hahaha, good nephew, I came to see you again!"
