Chapter 473 Life and Survival

Wang Anshi stood up and pushed open the window pane, exclaiming happily: "Mingrun is here?!"

On the side of the ship, Su You was wearing a light bamboo green dark flower brocade robe and a weird black fur hat. This is the dark cloud hat that became popular in Weizhou. It is actually the adult hat of later generations, but it is pure fur. Standing there,

He smiled and saluted Wang Anshi: "Mr. Jiefu, brother Wang Shi, Su You is polite."

Wang Anshi said with a smile: "Yuanze is not worthy of the title. My foolish brother Anli and Mingrun are in the same class. He is your brother. A dog should be regarded as a nephew."

Su You quickly waved his hand: "It's okay to say goodbye. We all discuss our own etiquette. Brother Yuanze's academic articles are all exquisite. Su You admires them very much."

After saying that, he held his hands to the king: "Begonias have not yet rained, pear blossoms have snowed before, and half of the spring is gone. Acacia is only on the lilac branches and on the cardamom tips. This song "Eye of the Eye" is so fresh and natural that Su You can only envy, envy, and hate

It’s my share, but I can’t write it down.”

Wang's face changed, and he didn't know whether Su You was mocking him or not.

The great talent is very sensitive and has mental illness.

He suspected that his wife, Pang Zi, was unfaithful to him, and he quarreled with her every day over trivial matters. He also treated his own child "who doesn't like her by appearance, and tried every possible means to kill him."

As a result, his youngest son was tortured to death soon. Pang was so miserable that he hid in a small building and cried every day.

Seeing that the matter was irreversible, Wang Anshi felt very sorry for his daughter-in-law, so he decided to divorce Wang and Pang.

Since Pang had made no mistakes and was unwilling to bear the reputation of being divorced, Wang Anshi personally chose a good husband for Pang and "married" Wang's wife Pang in a grand ceremony.

This incident was rumored in Jiangnan, and Wang did not know whether Su You knew about it or not.

Of course Su You knew, but he didn't mean to ridicule him.

This word is indeed well written. He has no control over other people's family affairs. Moreover, he knows that Wang is narrow-minded and has too high an eye. When he is unlucky, he will not offend him if he can.

Wang Anshi saw Wang Leng there and looked at Su You's words and deeds. He couldn't help but shook his head secretly: "Son, this is Su Mingrun. His articles and career are all extraordinary. You two will keep in touch with each other in the future."

Only then did Wang return the favor with Su You.

Su You asked: "According to what the deacon of the trading company said, Duke Jiefu waited for Su You here for three days, which was really rude. Su You prepared a banquet and wanted to invite Duke Jiefu to come across the ship. Unknown people were on board.

There are also those family members who will buy food and send it over later."

Wang Anshi whispered a few words to Wang. After Wang left, Wang Anshi said to Su You: "Ming Run is famous among scholars for not being tired of food. It would be hypocritical to keep you here to dine. This time

Also going to the Que is Yudi Anguo. In addition to the two family members, Anli’s family members are also on board."

Wang Anguo's courtesy name is Pingfu, and Wang Anli's courtesy name is Hefu. Together with Wang, they are known as the "Three Kings of Linchuan".

Su You said: "Speaking of this, I have never had the opportunity to thank Brother Hefu in person. The "Lingtai Secret Garden" he rebuilt is now of great use in shipping positioning."

"Lingtai Secret Garden" is a star catalog in Chinese history. It was originally written by Yu Jicai of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is the first one; the reconstruction under the leadership of Wang Anli is the second one.

The book records the incorporation degrees and de-extreme values ​​of 345 stars. Its observation records and research ideas provided great help to Su You and Xiao Tianshi in making navigation star catalogs.

Wang Anshi's specialty is classics and meaning, but he doesn't know much about his brother's academics. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel curious.

Su You took out a pen and paper and explained to him. They were all smart people and understood the differences between astrology and astrology. Soon Wang Anshi also understood the general principle.

At this time, the king came back, bringing with him a middle-aged man.

Wang Anshi introduced: "This is my foolish brother Anguo. Because Han Gong recommended him to go to Que for examination, he was also admitted to the ship this time. He has been studying in the stern cabin just now."

Another child prodigy, and a self-taught child prodigy.

He was smart and motivated since he was a child. Although he never studied as a teacher or went to school, his articles were well organized.

When he was twelve years old, he showed dozens of poems, inscriptions, essays, and poems that he had written to others, and all the viewers marveled at his extraordinary literary talent.

King Teng used to be fond of pursuing travels, and his high pavilion still rested on the blue current.

The resort has gone through many ups and downs, and the setting sun shines on the past and present.

There are thousands of trees in the city, and people in the sky are in a boat.

As far as the eye can see, the waves are endless, and the western mountains are overlapping with chaotic clouds.

This song "Inscribed on the Pavilion of Prince Teng" was written by Wang Anli when he was thirteen years old. The conception, scene description, and wording are all of a high level and very readable. It is countless times better than most prodigies who have been praised.

Not only was he outstanding in literary talent, but when his brother became an official, he served his mother wholeheartedly for a long time, made many good friends, and became well-known among the scholars.

However, the child prodigy is already over 40 years old today, and his luck in taking exams is, well, almost the same as that of his deceased old cousin.

After the two of them had finished their ceremony, Su You invited everyone to come to his boat.

This ship is a large Kuizhou-type ship that was replaced in Kuizhou. Its structure is different from the wide-body Wu ship, and its proportions are slender.

There is an open shed behind the deck where the banquet is held.

Shi Wei was pretending to be instructing Zhang Qi and the others to arrange the dinner plates. When she saw Su You leading people over, she came to see them.

Wang Anshi is not a person who pays attention to vulgar etiquette. Seeing Shi Wei's heroic appearance, with a silver belt around his waist, a dagger and a seal bag, he couldn't help but show admiration: "Mingrun and the county prince are really like a dragon and a phoenix among people."

, the couple of gods and immortals.”

Su You invited everyone to sit down: "Everyone has advantages, and everyone also has shortcomings. In fact, Wei'er and I are not as good as what outsiders say. However, the common people and scholars love each other and magnify the advantages infinitely, while minimizing the shortcomings infinitely.

That’s all.”

"For example, I like to be lazy, Wei'er is not a female celebrity, let's not talk about this."

Wang Anshi sat down with a smile: "Mingrun loves to be lazy. This is a joke. If all officials in the Song Dynasty were as lazy as Mingrun, the world would have been in chaos."

Su You greeted the food and wine, and also asked to deliver food boxes to the female dependents of the other ship. He was busy for a while and then said: "I really like to be lazy. When it comes to local affairs, I usually focus on a few things that I am good at and the rest."

Just let your people do it."

"There is also science and engineering, which is essentially developed to improve production efficiency. What is production efficiency? It means using as few people as possible to produce as much stuff as possible. In the final analysis, it is laziness."

Wang Anshi frowned: "The remaining people have nothing to do, so where can they get food and clothing?"

Su You smiled and said: "This depends on the stage of development. For example, in ancient times, in the pre-Qin period, men farmed and women grew hemp. They were just self-sufficient."

"But Su You believes that that way can only be called survival, but it is not life."

"Life is an existence in a comfortable state both physically and mentally. People do not have to worry about food and clothing, but also have spiritual comfort. Fine utensils, food, poetry, music, paintings, sculptures... these should not be reserved for scholar-bureaucrats.

rights, but rights that all living people should have."

Wang Anshi was horrified and moved: "How to achieve it?"

Su You continued: "Therefore, farming is only the foundation. First, the output of farming must be able to meet the needs of everyone in the Song Dynasty. Moreover, this part of the population does not account for the majority of the Song Dynasty. What should the rest of the manpower do?"

"Industry, merchants, soldiers, and soldiers all rely on agriculture to carry out their own business."

"Having enough food and clothing should be just the most basic requirement. The definition I give it is called the bottom line of survival, also called the food and clothing line. It is roughly the level at which I led my brothers and sisters who were orphans when I was seven years old."

Wang Anshi shook his head: "Not everyone is capable of Mingrun. Today, more than half of the Song Dynasty is under the line drawn by Mingrun. Those above it are probably in the middle of Shu, Wu, and Bianjing."
