"I'm not to hide it from Mr. Zhao. Just a few months ago, Su was recommended by Lord Deng and had the honor to meet Mr. Chen and stated in front of him the way of financial management of "gathering sand into a tower, and gathering armpits into fur" that was a pity that Mr. Chen could not adopt it. Mr. Su was a little discouraged, but he didn't expect that Mr. Zhao's various actions in Yangzhou had many secrets in line with Mr. Su's idea. Seeing that Mr. Su was happy, he did not avoid suspicion and came to visit Mr. Zhao."

"Why can Mr. Zhao be so lucky that Mr. Su, who has come after hearing what he hears, will he leave after seeing what he sees?"

Zhao Xingde picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked at Su Tongfu, and waited for him to explain his true intention. If he was just an ordinary scholar, he would have a sense of effectiveness when saying this. However, "San De Taoist" is famous and has a close relationship with Deng Su, so such a person cannot travel thousands of miles to serve. Zhao Xingde speculated that he was just a kindness, or something else, or even a test of others' temptation toward him.

Su Tongfu held the teacup and smiled, "Zhao Hou is elegant and magnanimous, but Su is a common person in the world. Even if he admires Zhao Hou, he will carry several volumes of "Moral Debate" and "Gentlemen's Country" together immediately. Reading books like sitting opposite each other, there is no need to work so hard." Su Tongfu shook his head, "Su's life is just three wishes of 'get money, talent, and longevity'. However, the common wishes of these three people have also attracted a lot of slander, and it is still in vain and endless. Thinking of it makes people sigh." He sighed, as if he was a scholar who had never met with talent. In fact, Zhao Xingde knew that although Su Tongfu had never been an official, he was quite famous in writing books and writing, and he was also good at breeding. He called himself "Sandaoist". In his forties, there were indeed many "talent" and "money".

"One is already so much, how can we get more?" Zhao Xingde shook his head and said, "Mr. Su is so greedy."

"Those who walk a thousand miles begin with a single step. Even if you can't walk, as long as you're in the right direction, one hundred steps are better than fifty steps, and fifty steps are better than not moving in the same place or even going in the opposite direction." Su Tongfu sighed and said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the world says I am greedy, but I don't know that I am real. Money, talent, and longevity are what the world must do. Who can give up the noble person? If an ordinary person stands in the world, he will be embarrassed for a day. The "Gentleman's Way" mentioned by Zhao Hou, then he knows that Zhao Hou is not good at talking about the towers in the air."

Zhao Xingde remained silent and held a pot and filled two tea cups.

"Food, sex, and longevity are the 'three gains' I wish. In other words, poverty, ignorance, and weakness are the 'three evils' I have to die. Zhao Hou, you said it well. If there is no gentleman's position, let the people be a gentleman's way, it is to seek fish from a tree, or even to tempt people to die. By the same token, if the people are trapped in poverty, ignorance, and weakness, how can you say that they are already in the rank of a gentleman? Not to mention anything else, just hunger and cold can make a strong woman become a prostitute, and a righteous man become a bandit. No matter how high a gentleman is, he can kneel down and lick other people's toes. There is no other way, and dressing and eating is forced by the situation."

"If you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace; if you have enough granaries, you will know etiquette. This has been known in ancient times."

"What Zhao Hou said is. Therefore, although I have never known the way of Zhao Hou, I am a fellow man, and hope to return to the same destination with different paths." Su Tongfu sighed, "However, what I have seen is that the way to achieve peace in the world is not to be moved by the heart, but to guide the situation. People have selfishness and to achieve public welfare against selfishness. Just like sailing against the current, if you start from selfishness and seek public welfare, it is to go with the current and achieve twice the result with half the effort. My 'three gains' statement is nothing more than hoping that everyone can work hard to improve their wealth, talent, life, and expel poverty, ignorance of poverty, and weakness. There are three other evils, including theft of money, obscurity, and harming human beings, which can be called the three thieves."

"I am also ignorant," Zhao Xingde smiled and said, "I know the 'Three Des'. This is the first time I have heard of the 'Three Evils' and 'Three Thieves'. I am ashamed of myself." Su Tongfu's statement was fresh and appropriate, and easy to understand, and quite impressive. Zhao Xingde turned his head and thought, nodded secretly, and for a moment he forgot to guess Su Tongfu's true purpose.

"I'm not hiding Zhao Hou, these 'three gains' were said by Su Mou in the past, and the 'three evils' and 'three thieves' were interpreted after being imprisoned, and were touched by Zhao Hou's 'gent way'." Su Tongfu was still scared and sighed, "In the past, Su Mou wandered among mountains and rivers, only knowing that life was aimed at 'three gains'. To be honest, no fame or career was taken into my eyes." Zhao Xingde nodded slightly. Su Tongfu's words seemed arrogant, but were not uncommon among the scholars of the Song Dynasty.

When Cao Bin attacked Jiangnan, he returned to the triumphant victory. Taizu originally agreed to be the prime minister, but later changed his mind to a reward of 200,000 yuan. Some people thought that Cao Bin must be angry, but Cao Bin said, "Why do you have to be prime minister in life? Good officials don't get too much money." Taizu was very happy when he heard this and was soon appointed as the Privy Councilor. Coincidentally, Zhao Xingde heard another strange story in the Taixue School. An official in Guangnan was transferred back to Beijing and brought some local specialty goods in the middle of the journey. As a result, the price of such goods in the capital skyrocketed this year. The official made a fortune because of this. As a result, he did not even make a Beijing official and returned to his hometown to be a rich man.

"The ignorant thoughts of that time, Mr. Zhao laughed." Su Tongfu shook his head, no longer the casual conversation just now, with a hint of pain on his face. "If it weren't for being imprisoned for some reason, Su might have had such a confused life, maybe he was buried in the loess, and maybe he was left with an absurd and unrestrained reputation in history." The scene of a jealous villain after being imprisoned for some reason, the enemies he made in the past, scrambled to take advantage of the situation, and corrupt officials took power and sought bribes. Although old friends went to help from many parties, they finally asked the prime minister for pardon. Most of his property was torn out and his health was also deficient.

Zhao Xingde vaguely guessed these things. After Su Tongfu escaped, it was not difficult to retaliate against some people with his friendship with Deng Su. Deng Su also took this opportunity to deal with some corrupt officials. However, Su Tongfu was greatly moved by this destruction, so he didn't care about things before, and now he is more careful. Thinking of the time when he revealed the case, several colleagues from the management of the society were unjustly killed in prison, Zhao Xingde's heart was covered with a layer of gloom.

He sighed: "Life is always changing. If it weren't for the major cases that year, Zhao might not have joined the army."

"Heaven and earth are the backward journey of all things; light is the passerby of generations. But how much happiness is for life like a dream?" Su Tongfu murmured with emotion, "If we regard life as a dream, our destiny will be in the hands of an unpredictable fate. Let's ask a person who is not stupid or stupid, and when he thinks that he may be imprisoned and died tomorrow, how can he indulge in joy today? If life like a dream, why do you need courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame? Why do you have to pursue it? If life like a dream, the world that people establish is just a hell." He looked at Zhao Xingde, and his eyes showed a certain determination, "The tree is quiet and the wind does not stop, and the 'three gains' I wish for, I don't want it to be so illusory and ethereal." His mind was shocked, and he could still maintain a calm demeanor, but now he was a little excited.

"So what?" Zhao Xingde said lightly, looking at the tea in the cup with deep eyes.

"If we want to make the 'three gains' not a fool', we must expel the 'three thieves'. Otherwise, no matter how well we manage ourselves, we will be bitten by the 'three thieves', and we will inevitably sink into the quagmire of the 'three evils', "poverty, ignorant, sick and weak". For stealing people's money, making people ignorant, and hurting people's bodies, stop them, expel them, and destroy them, this is what we should do. In life, we are subject to many constraints and cannot be clean by ourselves. How do we know that today is a thief who harms others and will not harm me in the future? Therefore, we should not only expel the 'three thieves' ourselves, but also help others to expel the 'three thieves'. Not only should this be the case for a person, but the court should also do this. General Zhao's gentleman's way is to do his best to improve the 'three gains' of the people, expel the 'three evils' in the world, and conquer the 'three thieves who do evil."

The more Su Tongfu said, the more excited he became. He suddenly coughed, his sleeves were whirling. He heard a "bang" sound, and the tea cup hit the ground, and the tea was everywhere. He quickly gave in, and while still covering his mouth and coughed continuously. Zhao Xingde changed the cup of tea and handed it to him. Su Tongfu took it and drank it, and then pressed the cough down. Since Su Tongfu took "lifelong" as the key, he always cared about the way to maintain his life. According to the legend of the Shilin, the "San De Taoist" is as strong as a powerful soldier. But now, who can tell that a prison disaster has greatly damaged his health.

"Mr. Su," Zhao Xingde asked with concern, "Would you please let the doctor come and take a look?"

"It's okay," Su Tongfu waved his hand, and said sadly, "Sorry, let Mr. Zhao lose his money."

Zhao Xingde shook his head, and suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard in a daze, "It is easy to break the thief in the mountains, but it is difficult to break the thief in the heart." He was moved in his heart and shook his head and said, "Mr. Su wants to fight against these 'three thieves', which shows that the 'three thieves' is also a distortion of human hearts. When people get money, they will rob them and become thieves from others. People think that they cannot match the wisdom of others, so they wish that others are more ignorant than themselves and become thieves from fools. The world of the weak and strong prey on the weak, people kill each other, and people become thieves who harm their human body. Human nature has no good or evil, and it is light and shadows that accompanies them. Therefore, all kinds of moral statements are to promote and eliminate evil, and the way of governing should be as the teacher said, help others and the 'three thieves' who chase people."

"Mr. Zhao is very good." Su Tongfu praised the high-high, "That's exactly what it is."

"Since that's the case," Zhao Xingde said directly: "Mr. Su's purpose is to tell you clearly."
