After that, Xiruo gave them some unimportant positions in the outer courtyard according to what Ye Feng said before.
In the previous academy, these people either had no positions or were simply bloodbags; even if they had positions, they were in the most humble positions. Who said that the seats in the inner courtyard of the academy would only come from the outer courtyard, especially for these mortals. No matter how humble the position is, at least there is still hope, and there is more hope of becoming an immortal cultivator than a mortal who dies at the age of 100.
It seems that these people are not treated as human beings in other colleges.
From the perspective of these powerful local gentry, not only did they not get settled by Qiu Hou this time, they also obtained positions in the outer college, even higher positions than other colleges. It stands to reason that these people should be grateful.
They are all being driven out at this moment. They are traitors, so they must find a backer. If you don’t take refuge in Yangming Academy, you will have no choice but to leave far away. But even if he goes far away, as a traitor to Yangming Academy, he will definitely not be tolerated by other colleges. Then the only way out is the overseas sects on the seven continents, but without spiritual roots, the academy doesn't want them, so why should overseas sects want them.
It seems that they can only be loyal to Yangming Academy, and they should be loyal to Yangming Academy.
But Ye Feng told Xi Ruo, "Don't trust these people easily. People's human nature is inherently evil. These people can reach such a status among mortals. Few people are willing to be inferior to others, and few people are grateful for their kindness." They are all 'smart people' who are unkind and unkind. No matter how good you are to them now, when Yangming Academy declines again next time, such people will still betray Yangming Academy. So don't feel any guilt in your heart. .”
Xia Yimo, who was next to Xiruo, asked Ye Feng: "Then why do we still use them?"
Ye Feng smiled and said: "That's because they are the most real people like that. And Xiruo and Yimo must be qualified leaders and learn to be upwardly compatible and downwardly tolerant.
"No one is perfect in this world. Everyone has shortcomings and will make mistakes sometimes. The sea is open to all rivers and has tolerance. The reason why the sea is big is because when the river flows into the sea, it can mix mud and sand, and it can also allow fish and dragons to mix.
"We must remember that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are clear, there will be no disciples. Therefore, these local gentry are powerful and can be used, but they cannot be reused.
"I will personally check the core team that Yangming Academy can really rely on in the future."
Xi Ruo nodded happily with peace of mind, while Xia Yimo looked at Xi Ruo with some envy. It would be great if there was someone in the Xia Dynasty that he could rely on.
Suddenly Xiruo asked Ye Feng: "Ye Feng, do you also have shortcomings?"
Ye Feng said: "I am a human being, and I naturally have shortcomings."
Xiruo and Xia Yimo both became interested and asked, "Teacher, what are your shortcomings?"
Ye Feng looked at the two of them speechlessly, then smiled and said, "You also believe the shortcomings I mentioned. I can also lie. Don't completely believe what a person says. Believe what you see, especially what you see in your heart." s things."
Xiruo said dissatisfiedly: "But I can't see your shortcomings."
Ye Feng smiled and said: "Even you can see it, how can I survive until now?"
Xi Ruo pursed her lips in dissatisfaction upon hearing this.
Xia Yimo then asked Ye Feng an extremely serious question, saying: "Teacher, I can guess that you are a person who cares for the ordinary and weak, but you also said that human nature is ugly, with fewer good people and more bad people. People are not worthy of your protection at all, why do you still need to protect them?"
Xiruo was stunned.
Ye Feng was also stunned, but then he smiled and said: "Yi Mo, you are right. Many times, people's behavior is not worthy of my protection. No, to be precise, people's human nature is evil and seeks profit. Avoid harm, so in most cases, the ugly ghosts of people's hearts make 'people' not worthy of my protection, but,"
After speaking, Ye Feng paused and said: "I don't protect people because they are worth protecting. Because protecting is something that my heart decides on its own. If something you do is determined by external objects, Then one day, you will give up on that thing because of changes in external objects.
"For example, your problem at the moment is like this. If you protect humans because they are worth protecting, then when you find that they are not worth protecting in many cases, you will abandon the protection.
"Although Mr. Yangming and I have different ideas, he and I have one biggest thing in common - that is, we both believe in the power of the heart, and that the heart has the power to change the world. And such a mind is not, you, I, what is unique to him, is the power that all people with human hearts have. If there is one thing in this world that I firmly believe in, that thing is: although the human heart is evil and ugly, the human heart can still change. The power of the world.
"I firmly believe in this statement."
. . .
Those powerful land gentry were very happy after knowing that they had been "pardoned" and "promoted to nobility", so they gave more "gifts", not to mention land deeds and real estate. Of course, those things are left to Mei Jiu to handle and receive. She is familiar with this aspect. But there is one gift that is very special.
I saw a row of beauties with brightly dressed clothes and graceful figures walking in. These were their "big gifts" to the new dean of Yangming Academy. They said that these gifts were well-behaved and sensible, and they were all daughters of poor families. They did not seek status and were happy as long as they had food to eat. They were very skilled.
But Xiruo and Xia Yimo's faces instantly turned dark, as ugly as they could be. There are already enough women around Ye Feng, and the two of them will naturally not allow other women to get close to him. However, Xia Yimo thought a little more. It was because these women came from poor families. If they couldn't survive, who would be willing to sell their daughters? And those people were all because of the incompetence of "Xia Wuyan" of the Great Xia Dynasty. Xia Yimo feels deeply guilty. Now she wants to change these things, but as Ye Feng said, the seven major sects will not allow the Great Xia Dynasty to have such a change that loves the people.
Xiruo was trembling with anger, which made the powerful local gentry below become scared again.
Xiruo said in a trembling voice: "Everyone, these women..."
Suddenly Xia Yimo interrupted: "Yangming Academy has accepted it."
Xi Ruo looked at Xia Yimo in horror and heard Xia Yimo say: "If you don't accept it now, then it will be given to the teacher when we can't see it, and the teacher will definitely not accept it. At that time , their fate will only be more miserable. It just so happens that my palace is short of maids."
After saying that, Xia Yimo looked at the powerful local gentry and said, "You don't have any objections, right?"
How dare those people say no?
At the same time, Xia Yimo looked at the women with an apologetic look.
