Chapter 4 Searching for Zhang Liang (4)
"Mr. Xie taught that Zhang Liang was a loyal and loyal man, but he did not want to serve the country, and only knew that he would just wander. It was really shameful. If it weren't for the reminder of his teacher, Zhang Liang would still be in the dark." Zhang Liang not only did not get angry, but also bowed deeply to Zhou Chong.
If someone else was changed, they would definitely be furious. They either cursed or waved their fists to come forward to settle the score with Zhou Chong. Unexpectedly, Zhang Liang's performance was unexpected. Not only did he not get angry, he also thanked Zhou Chong. Listening to his tone and looking at his attitude, it was definitely not a false act, but a sincere one.
The military strategy is that you should not raise troops because of anger. Similarly, as a counselor, you must restrain yourself and control your feelings so that you can make rational analysis and judgment, and keep your strategy correct at all times. Zhang Liang's performance coincides with this requirement. Zhou Chong thought in his heart that Zhang Liang could grow into a famous minister and become a rare counselor in Chinese history. Not to mention anything else, it is rare to control his mind alone.
Zhou Chong returned the courtesy and said, "Zifang is so serious, Zhou Ren is just a matter of gaining a glimpse of his opinion, and Zifang doesn't have to be taken to his heart."
"Zhang Liang should have done his best to be a guest and host, so I asked the teacher to talk in the room, but Zhang Liang has important things in his body, so it is inconvenient to put it a lot of burdens. I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to forgive me." After Zhang Liang finished explaining to Zhou Chong, he shouted to a servant: "Hurry up, ask them all to come out."
The servant took the order and left. Zhou Chong was a little confused about Zhang Liang's intention and asked, "Is it that Zifang, what is the intention?"
"This is Zhang Liang's housework, please don't ask me." Zhang Liang refused to answer.
Zhang Liang has many ideas, and every idea is unexpected. Zhou Chong was curious and decided to see what he wanted, but he didn't say much.
After a while, the servants and servants ran over, stood neatly in front of Zhang Liang, looking at Zhang Liang with hope. Zhou Chong felt that this was not a servants and servants, but rather an army was being inspected by the commander. This also shows that Zhang Liang is indeed capable of being extraordinary.
According to historical records, Zhang Liang's family has great business, with more than 300 servants alone. Zhou Chong estimated that it was almost the same, and without three hundred servants, it was almost the same.
Zhang Liang glanced at the servants and said, "Today we have gathered you all, there is something to tell you. From now on, you are free and no longer servants of my Zhang family. These contracts of body selling will no longer exist." As soon as he gestured, the two servants threw the contracts of body selling into a pot of burning fire, and soon turned into ashes.
According to common sense, it is exciting to gain freedom, but these servants and servants not only did not feel happy, but looked at Zhang Liang in surprise. A servant asked, "Young Master, why is this?"
"It's been hard enough for you to follow me for so many years. Many of you have fathers, grandfathers, and even great-grandfathers who have been servants in our house, and have been for several generations." Zhang Liang explained: "I've thought about it. Now it's time, and it's time to give you freedom."
The servants shouted, "Young Master, do you want us anymore? We are not doing well, and you can beat and scold you, and we will never complain. You are very proud, do you want us?"
The Zhang Liang family has great business and greater power. Being a servant in the Zhang Mansion may be more stable than gaining a free body. If you think that the servants want to find someone to rely on, that would be wrong. Zhou Chong could see that the servants would rather stay in the Zhang Mansion than the ones they wanted, but were willing to stay and drive Zhang Liang. This is due to Zhang Liang's personal charm, not the result of temptation.
"It's not that you've done badly, you've done well." Zhang Liang was unmoved and said, "I, Zhang Liang, are all in a good state, and I can take care of myself in food, clothing, housing and transportation. I won't have to work for you. You can take the things at home by yourself, and take whatever you like. If you like the house here, it's yours. Take the things and leave immediately."
He was dismissing his servants, at least it was not a bad thing, and Zhou Chong didn't stop him, so he watched him do it.
The Zhang family has a large family business. If you take something casually, you won’t have enough to spend your whole life. At least you will not have any problems if you spend it for decades. This is a great thing. However, the servants not only did not have joy, but instead knelt down for Zhang Liang and said, “Young Master, you can’t do this!”
"Get up, get up." Zhang Liang bowed and said, "I decided to go to the days of wandering around the world. Keep these family businesses as well. It is better to share them with you. You have worked hard all these years and it is not easy. These are what you deserve. You are welcome, go and get them. If you take more, you are from my Zhang family. If you take less, I, Zhang Liang, don't know you!"
The following words were very decisive. The servants knew his personality and would not change once they made a decision. It seemed that they could not change his mind. A servant asked tentatively: "Young Master, the second master's funeral must be cooked. It is not too late for us to leave after we finish the second master's funeral."
"Yes!" The servants agreed in unison.
Zhang Liang waved his hand and said, "No need. The second brother's funeral is not to be taken care of. Where can a real man stand in his life? Where can a real man be buried, white bones, loess, white clouds, blue sky, and green grass are all the destinations of a real man!"
He said this with confidence. Unfortunately, these servants were ordinary people, and they could not understand his thoughts. They were all shocked and so surprised that they couldn't even speak, staring straight at Zhang Liang.
"Young Master, this is not a good thing. Our Zhang family has been prime ministers for generations. If the second young master's funeral is not taken care of and is out of order, it will be a joke!" The servant reminded Zhang Liang with a message.
Zhang Liang snorted coldly and said, "Don't say it, they have nothing decent." He pointed at Zhou Chong and said, "This gentleman said it very clearly. They governed Korea's fifth generation, but Korea is becoming increasingly popular, and finally destroyed the tiger and wolf Qin. This is their fault, and it is to shame our Zhang family. Zhang Liang went here to wash away the stigma of Zhang, restore Korea, and avenge South Korea!"
According to the secular perspective, it is not a friend or a relative to me if I die. It is even more unfilial to slander my ancestors so openly. It can be said that Zhang Liang has become a despicable person whom thousands of people are referring to. Of course, Zhou Chong would not think so. The ordinary servants naturally cannot understand his thoughts. They never expected that Zhang Liang, whom they loved, was such a person. His favor for him was greatly reduced. Some servants saluted him and turned around and left, not even what Zhang Liang left for them.
Zhang Liang reminded him: "You haven't got anything yet."
The servant said disdainfully: "Thank you, young master, for your kindness. You are so lucky and have little life. You dare not accept it." He was a perfect person and was unwilling to ask Zhang Liang, a despicable person.
When everyone walked, everyone was following. The servants saluted Zhang Liang and left on their own, forcing him to do anything.
According to historical records, Zhang Liang sent off his servants and scattered his family property. Since then, he has been wandering around the world for more than ten years. When he arrived in the Kingdom of Goryeo, he invited the Lisman. Finally, he appeared in Bolangsha. He failed to assassinate Qin Shihuang and lived in seclusion in the turmoil. He obtained the "Taigong War Art" and eventually became an imperial teacher. It can be said that what Zhou Chong saw today is of great significance in Zhang Liang's life.
Zhou Chong understood his mood and did not stop it until the servants left. Zhou Chong and Zhang Liang looked at each other for a long time, pointing at each other and laughing.
