Chapter 124: The Thief
Chapter 124: Break the Thieves
"In the 12th year of Zhengde, Wang Yangming used his courage and wisdom to wipe out the bandits in just a few months, which was a miracle.
Wang Yangming believed that "it is easy to break the thief in the mountains". It is a simple task to eliminate the rat thief in the mountains, and it is easy to do, and nothing to boast about; in his opinion, there is something that is hundreds of millions of times more difficult than breaking the thief in the mountains, that is - breaking the thief in the heart!
Your Majesty is prosperous and irresistible. He can only seek help from his brothers, and fight against his own brothers with the loyalty, sincerity and vitality of his brothers.
Your Majesty has the help of all your brothers to defeat the thief. However, this is a temporary victory. Be careful that the day when the thief makes a comeback is the time when Your Majesty loses."
Xu Yuanshou's huge head was filled with knowledge. He said one heart-wrenching words from his mouth surrounded by his beard. Every sentence and every word was oppressed, and Yun Zhao couldn't breathe.
"I'm not that bad, am I?"
"Your Majesty is not bad, on the contrary, Your Majesty is extremely powerful, because until now, you have never killed a hero or abandoned your ideals. Until now, you still believe in your former brothers. This is the source of Your Majesty's strength.
However, this is a day when the heart thief is destroyed by the help of external objects. If the heart thief dies, there will be a backlash."
Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "I will share life and death with my brothers, and there will be no mistakes."
Xu Yuanshou ignored what Yun Zhao said. He was too familiar with this disciple. As long as he gave him the opportunity to speak, he would immediately have countless fallacies and evil sayings that he could not argue.
"Sit down quietly and break the anxiety thief!"
"Sit in meditation, meditate, enter into meditation, or travel outside the sky?"
"Trial in the matter, break the hesitation thief!"
"Huh? I have countless things to do every day. Isn't this a training? I feel like I'm a training every day."
"Have gratitude and break the complaints!"
"I have always had a gratitude. Just like your temper, you have a sir. If you have an emperor, you will have been beheaded. I will treat you as always..."
"Shut up, your spirit is minimal, you can break the thief of greed!"
"Sir, I only have two wives. I am not a greedy person. I don't even value power so much. I have done what you said in a minimalist spirit."
"Through the higher self, the selfish thief!"
"Hahaha, I am almost at the highest level of "the world is for the public", how can a selfish thief keep my heart?"
"Did you remember what I just said?"
"Sitting in peace and quiet, breaking the thief of anxiety, this is one, training in things, breaking the thief of hesitation, this is two, being grateful and breaking the thief of complaining, this is three, being extremely simple in spirit, breaking the thief of greed, this is four, directly reaching the higher self, breaking the thief of selfishness, this is five."
Xu Yuanshou nodded with satisfaction and said, "It is easy to break the thief in the mountains, but it is difficult to break the thief in the heart. You should do it yourself."
After saying that, he left the big study without waiting for Yun Zhao to respond.
Yun Zhao sighed and ordered Pei Zhong to lay the paper, lift up the pen and copy these five proverbs on the paper, so that Pei Zhong would hang it in a conspicuous place in his large study.
Guanzhong Guanxue can no longer support the huge Yushan Academy, so Xu Yuanshou and others have included the study of mind into the Guanxue system. This is an extension and inheritance of ideas, which is rare.
This shows that the huge Yushan Academy has learned to grow and improve itself.
Now it is the study of the mind and the study of the Guan, and in the future, more and more available essences will be selected from the history books, which is almost certain.
The reason why Xu Yuanshou gave his unlearned disciples was, on the one hand, to allow Yun Zhao to develop resolutely into the sages, and on the other hand, to allow Yun Zhao to enter the field of mind learning.
It is better to teach Yun Zhao to enter this field than to teach anyone who enters the field of mind.
It's angering that the old guy is killing two birds with one stone.
The winter in Guanzhong is very cold, but no frozen soil is produced, so the work on the construction site has not stopped.
Especially after winter, Lantian County has become more and more manpowerful, so the railway construction site is densely packed with people.
In half a year, the railway subgrade has been basically completed. The farmers carried steaming quicklime water to irrigate the land in order to kill the seeds of plants and trees on the railway subgrade. This is a very careful work and cannot be careless.
The new railway has extended from Yushan City to Fenghuang Mountain City, and from Yushan City to Chang'an City. As for from Fenghuang Mountain City to Chang'an City, it is the final project of this railway project.
All railways are two-way and two-lane railways, so the railways occupy a lot of land.
Sun Yuanda, Yang Wenhu and Feng Tong stood on the newly built railway, watching the iron trucks being pushed by craftsmen and running fast on the railway. As the railway was extending forward at a visible speed, there was not much smile on the faces of the three of them.
All three of them encountered the same problem. It can even be said that the merchants in Yangzhou encountered the same problem. The reputation of the concubine's son in his family is rising rapidly in the family. He not only took over the family's business on the railway, but also had the honor to enter Yushan Academy to study.
What worries these Yangzhou merchants the most is that these concubines have formed an alliance.
The alliance between merchants should have been something that the heads of the family should have liked, but the consequences of the alliance between concubines and concubines were not so optimistic for them.
The young and overly young county magistrate of Lantian County almost dug out a piece of money from their family and gave it to the concubines.
Sun Yuanda sighed and said, "Small wealth depends on diligence, and big wealth depends on fate. The ancients really did not deceive me."
Yang Wenhu gritted his teeth and said, "It is our wealth that we make."
Sun Yuanda shook his head and said, "Not all this, I have reviewed all accounts these days. Although our money is being spent like flowing, the investment in Lantian County has never been cut off.
Whether it is land, manpower, equipment, and materials, the investment is basically equal to the money we invest.
This shows that Lantian County Government did not think about taking advantage of us, at least from the moment it is fair. If they can still get what we should have as agreed upon after the railway is completed, then this is a good deal.”
Feng Tong smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't thought about the matter of dividing the family. Even if I split up, the concubine's son cannot separate such a big part. After all, our concubine's son is more than this lucky one."
Sun Yuanda looked at Feng Tong: "My little girl has passed the September exam of the lower court of Yushan Academy. After studying at Yushan Academy in April, she will go to Ningxia Town with the gentlemen of Yushan Academy to study in the beginning of spring.
If this girl is successful, she may be the first person in my Sun family to join the Lantian imperial court."
Yang Wenhu frowned and said, "Woman..."
Sun Yuanda laughed and said, "Women are no longer women when they wear purple clothes, and there are many female officials in the Lantian imperial court. I heard that there are as many as three women who are first-rank officials.
Not to mention, there is also a general who thought he would set sail overseas to compete for the world for our Ming Dynasty.
Wenhu, Brother Feng, the world has changed, so it’s better for us to adapt to the changes.
I think the Lantian imperial court was in full swing. Whether it was administrative regulations, laws, or regulations, or the rules, they were in order, and were by no means comparable to the first-class bandits of Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong.
I'm afraid for a long time, we will all be Shunmin under the wings of the Lantian imperial court."
Feng Tong bowed to Sun Yuanda and said, "Brother Sun, let's just ask the Lantian County Magistrate. If we can withdraw the concubine's son and replace him with his direct descendants, then we will have no complaints about this matter. Even if we share less profit, Feng will be willing."
Yang Wenhu also bowed repeatedly and said, "Yes, Brother Sun, five fingers are different in length, we always have to take care of the legitimate son."
Sun Yuanda looked at the two confused eggs in front of him, waved his sleeves heavily and said, "Don't!"
No matter what Sun Yuanda and the others thought, Xia Wanchun was still doing steadily as planned.
The railway, which is a total length of 200 miles, is scheduled to be completed completely by May.
This also has to withstand the test of spring sowing, which cannot be said to be an easy task in any case.
Sun Ting, Yang Hua and Feng Chong hurried to the county government office. After seeing the old chief clerk, he hurried to the office room to find Xia Wanchun.
Xia Wanchun looked up at the panicked three people, then smiled and said, "What are you panicking?"
Sun Ting hurriedly said: "The merchants in Yangzhou are persuading my father to discuss the replacement of us with the county master."
Xia Wanchun laughed when she heard this, pointed to her chest and said, "Only I have the right to change you."
Feng Chong hurriedly said, "My father has scolded me at home and asked me to give up this heart. He also told me that it would be better for me to resign myself, otherwise, once he takes me back, I will be kicked out of the house."
Xia Wanchun smiled and said, "It's just right. My county government is so empty. If you want, you can move directly to the county government government. If your father threatens you like this, tell him that he is so brave."
After a few words, Xia Wanchun calmed down the hearts of these three guys, and more concubines would come soon, and several of them simply sat in the flower hall to drink tea and waited for them to come.
Liu Zhubu looked at the side of the room and said in a secret test: "County Master, there is a time limit for these people to live in Guanzhong. I think..."
Xia Wanchun looked at the poor illegitimate sons who were running towards the flower hall and nodded, "Then let's clean up."
Liu Zhubu laughed and said, "Then I will leave it to me, the immortal, to do it. Everyone said that the people will not fight against the officials. They don't even have this little value, and they don't know how to make the business so big.
These Tianxian Zuns gave them enough face, but they were so arrogant that they were really ignorant of life or death.”
Seeing Liu Zhubu walking out with murderous aura, Xia Wanchun glanced at the expressions of these concubines. Their expressions made Xia Wanchun very satisfied. They were basically happy. No one was worried about whether his father and brother would be killed by this evil old boss.
Such a kind-hearted person is naturally not a good person. However, Xia Wanchun's goal is to cut and cultivate a group of new businessmen. It doesn't matter whether their minds are good or not. With the constraints of Lantian Law, they can't make a comeback.
