On the first day of April, the weather is getting hot again. Regardless of whether they are just pretending or sincerely willing to provide convenience to others, there are always people in Nanjing who deliver water and farewell gifts.
More than three thousand children were left in the library. Some of the adults who brought the children knelt in front of the library door and kowtowed before turning around and leaving.
Some of the children were under the age of one. Apparently, someone had left the children in the library due to the weather and the pressure of life.
And for several days in a row, some parents didn't come to pick up their children at all.
In the past, we would drop the children off in the morning, or ask a neighbor to drop them off, and pick them up in the evening.
Now I can't see anyone all day long, so the child lives in the library.
That is to say, Xiaqiu Village is very powerful and cannot afford to accept so many children elsewhere.
"How could they do this? Bully others?"
Zhu Chong was unhappy. It was already hot and annoying, but now he was even more irritable.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, the temples and temples also adopt children. If other families throw their children there, they will take care of them."
The head of the village was very tolerant. When Xiaqiu Village was in trouble, the villagers did not suffer from hunger.
A morsel of rice from one family can keep the villagers full.
There was still a war going on at that time! Various things happened in other villages, including starvation, beatings, robbery, theft, rape, and suicide.
But Xiaqiu Village has always been the same, no one has starved to death, and there is no mess like other villages.
Because they will help each other, a village is a family, and no one will give up if they are able.
Despite the hardships, at least he still has some financial resources, such as being able to take out things when he needs to pawn them. This proves that the entire village is not in that desperate situation.
Otherwise, these things that were pawned would have been sold long ago, and then we would still starve to death, and our own people would rob our own people...
Now that Xiaqiu Village is rich, why not just raise some children? It's not that I don't want children anymore, it's just that the weather is too hot and it's troublesome to go back and forth.
"That's wrong, Zhu Lichang. Temples and temples collect incense money. They don't make their own money. We earn it ourselves. No one gives us incense money."
Zhu Xi has a different opinion. He is most disgusted with temples and Buddhists because there are many people who believe in them.
Some gave money, some had no money, eggs and vegetables, and some gave sesame oil.
Sesame oil is not a scented oil, it is an oil used to burn incense and offer oil lamps. It can be perilla seed oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, or real sesame oil, that is, sesame oil.
Ramie oil and jute oil are also fine. If others don't choose, just give them away. Use part to light Buddha headlamps, eat part yourself, or sell them secretly.
Zhu Xi is not a fool, he understands everything, so he is angry, so he will give the money...
"Donor, you are obsessed with the situation. All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream. They are like dew and lightning. You should observe them in this way."
There was a smile on his face. If it were not for his hands intertwined but for holding flowers, he would look like an eminent monk at this moment.
"Zhu Lichang, we are the ones paying now, and then..."
"Your Highness the King of Qin, there are no temples and temples. Are you willing to take care of children for the common people?" The head of the village interrupted Zhu Xi and asked.
"Of course I am willing. I didn't have so much money before. These are my Ming Dynasty's children. I am the King of Qin, so I should do it."
Zhu Xi rubbed his hands together and said that it was okay. He just let the children sleep and study in the library, and then provided them with meals!
"Your Highness, all laws are made by us. How much money can monks and Taoist priests spend?
For example, in my Xiaqiu Village, the villagers just eat some delicious food, and their clothes are nothing. If you kill people, your clothes will be taken away!
Of all the things, the last thing you can keep for yourself is what you eat, and the same goes for the people in the temple and the temple.
In the previous dynasties, those who destroyed Buddhas destroyed Buddhas, and those who suppressed Tao suppressed Tao. It was not just because they had too many things and they just collected them. "
The commander once again persuaded us, very straightforwardly, we are different from them, we control the army.
Zhu Xi's eyes widened. Is this how all promising methods are explained?
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, once you have the military power, you have control over everything, but you have to be able to control it, otherwise you will be ignored by others.
You are not suitable to take other people's positions. Some positions are actually more painful to sit in.
The fact that they dropped their children in a library instead of a temple or temple has proven a lot. "
The commander once again taught Zhu Xi that everything else was secondary. Military power was the most important thing, but it was actually the approval of other people.
The people threw their children over, and there were such small ones among them, which showed that the people trusted the library.
How did those sects originate and expand? It starts with gradual trust.
"Yeah! I didn't think about that. My brother is better than me." Zhu Xi understood and expressed what he meant.
He was right, he was not a hero in history, and now he knew better that even if Xiaqiu Village took him with him, other people's children were trained for their elder brothers.
So the babies, big and small, stayed in the library in the hot weather and were supervised.
Some children are born with a tendency to bully others, but if that doesn't work, just go to the grindstone and grind the tofu, just a small grinder.
Then observe the child's state. If the child has resentment in his eyes, continue to grind. When he is not working, teach him together.
This is the start of the class. Xiaqiu Village has said before that it will teach children simple literacy and arithmetic.
When you are the kind of child who still thinks you can bully others and doesn't change, simply throw yourself into the military camp, even if you are only seven or eight years old, go in.
You can disobey and be beaten, and continue to think that others should submit to you, and continue to be beaten!
Wouldn’t it be dissatisfying to let him go out to fight in the future? Can! Kill the enemy and get military honors!
Learn how to fight well, from charging into battle yourself to commanding, I will give you a chance.
If you can't do these things, it only means that you are a bastard and have no value, let alone the meaning of existence. Give your family a few bucks, don't delay the march, bury it!
…
'Quack quack...' Along with the cry, the people from Shijiu Lake came again. This time they carried baskets with duck and goose seedlings in them.
When we arrived at the pier, we moved the basket down and someone ran to find people from Xiaqiu Village to bring seedlings.
The resident ran over and looked at so many ducklings and geese. He observed that they were all healthy.
"Can't you keep it on your own?" the head of the village asked while arranging for someone to spray water to cool it down.
"Okay, these are extra, how about you? Last time I said you shouldn't bring the eggs, but now they are hatched."
"Yes, you can raise them here, but you should raise the ducks and geese yourself. You don't have to lay eggs and sell the eggs and chicks.
Raise a little bigger and then sell ducks and geese, the lake is now suitable for breeding, and people on other boats passing by don't dock?
You make bigger ducks and geese into dishes and sell them to them, making more money. "
The manager did not reject duck and goose seedlings. He just felt that by selling them this way, the other party would make a lot less money.
