Chapter 452 [The more loyal the more deceived]

An old folk man!

Spit the emperor's saliva!

This incident made Li Shimin stunned. Li Yun next to him was secretly smirking, and he said in his heart twice, "Second uncle, you have today too."

In ancient times, people valued respect for the elderly.

Once the elder is old, it is really a bit of a taboo. You have to listen to scold you, you have to endure it, and after being scolded, you have to bow your hands and say sincerely that you have to thank the elder for your teachings.

For example, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, an old man lived in seclusion in Yishui, Shandong. One day, a young man took a walk after dinner. When he walked to the bridge, he saw the old man walking on the bridge. Originally, the old man was just wandering around. After seeing the young man suddenly stopped leaving, he suddenly sat on the bridge, took off his shoes and threw them into the water. Then he looked at the young man loudly and scolded him angrily: "Do you have the strength to see your old shoes fall under the bridge? Go and pick them up..." (Are you blind? Look at the foot of the water and don't see it? Go down the bridge quickly and pick them up! The words come from "Han Xian Shiqu" recorded by Sun of Langya, a very remote history)

This story can be recorded in unofficial history, and it is very likely that it is real. The content of the story is very interesting. It is called bumping into the car in later generations. If it were a young man in the new era who had such a thing, he might have to stretch his neck and glaring, cursing and shouting: "You are immortal, you will find fault when your eyes are bright."

And how will modern old men deal with it?

It is very likely that he laughed, and he pushed his legs directly, and his old arms and legs went to the ground, and hummed, "Young man, I have a habit. If there were no one in this matter today, I would be lying on the ground and couldn't get up."

See...

Whether it is a person who is hit by a car or a person who is touched, it is immoral to deal with things.

The Chinese tradition has been lost.

And how did the ancients do it?

Look at the young man who jumped into the river and took up his shoes. He didn't bother with the cold water, nor did he blame the old man for making trouble. He picked up the shoes and sent them back respectfully. Before sending them, he shook the water hard.

Even though he respected the elderly so much, the old man was still dissatisfied. He glared at him again and scolded him: "Is it enough to send it back? Don't you see how old I am? Do I have the strength to wear shoes while sitting on the ground? You little guy has no eyesight at all."

I owe you what I owe?

If this were to be put in later generations, the young man with a little temper would have slapped him directly. Who would he be with? He was abusive to your bad habits!

But the young man in ancient times was still respectful and actually obedient to put on his shoes for the old man. Because the old man was sitting on the ground, the young man had to squat when he wanted to put on his shoes. As a result, the old man deliberately did not cooperate, and the young man knelt on the ground to put on his shoes.

Who is this young man? It is Zhang Liang, the Han Dynasty’s reign!

Who is the old man who is trying to play? He is the god Huangshi Gong...

Although this is just a unofficial historical rumor, it reflects the ancient tradition of respecting the elderly.

In fact, in ancient times, such stories were not stories, but many real examples. Whether in the folk or in the court, respecting the elderly is a major rule. When the elders were scolded, the younger people were spitting on their faces.

This is a kind of etiquette and a virtue. The Chinese nation has been passed down for thousands of years. Some rules seem to be bad habits are actually beneficial. This is the way to educate people's hearts. Everyone has a time to grow old...

...

The old man was about 60 years old, and he was a person who was not taboo in the Tang Dynasty. Although he vomited Li Shimin's saliva, the old man was not at all conscious of causing trouble. Instead, he glared at the emperor and scolded, "What are you looking at? Have you ever seen an old man get angry? I will queule behind him and dare to squeeze you if you don't believe me or not? You don't think you are old. There should be an old man at home. He has taught you the rules. If he doesn't teach you, let him teach you again."

"you……"

Li Shimin had never been so angry. The emperor was so angry that his cheeks were bulging. As a result, the old man glared at him again, seeing that he was trying to hit someone.

The emperor gritted his teeth and tried to take a few deep breaths. Although his cheeks were so angry that he still had to smile and said in harmony: "Old man, I..."

The old man looked straight at him.

Li Shimin closed his mouth in time, took a deep breath and said, "Old man, he really has a bad temper."

After the emperor said this, the old man was a little satisfied. The anger on his face disappeared instantly. He nodded at the emperor to express his praise and snorted: "This is almost the same. He is a polite person."

Li Shimin took the opportunity to approach the old man and asked in a gentle tone: "Can you ask me, why did you suddenly get angry? I think you are also a gifted elder, so you don't spit out a person because of a trivial matter."

The old man hesitated and smiled, suddenly looked at the emperor up and down, and said suspiciously: "Who are you? You speak in a very literary way?"

After asking, he looked up and down, murmured to himself: "Look at your outfit, you don't look like a big shot."

Li Shimin's expression remained unchanged and replied with a smile: "I have been studying for several years, but unfortunately my family was poor and could not hold on. Although I failed to hold on, I had a lifetime wish, so I spoke a little uncivilized, so I asked you to laugh at me."

"So that's it..." The old man nodded and suddenly realized, "No wonder he understands some truth, and he can endure it even if he spits out."

Seeing that Li Shimin had a good temper, he couldn't help but be very satisfied with the middle-aged man. He smiled and then explained: "I was wrong with my old man just spitting out your saliva, but the question you asked just now was wrong. How could you say that this store cheats money? If there were more stores like this in the world that cheated money, my old man would be so happy that he couldn't sleep. He didn't have to queue up and could buy it if he wanted to."

Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked at the shops in front becoming more crowded. The emperor deliberately pretended to be curious and asked in a temptation: "I heard that this shop is very strange. If you buy things from it, you have to abide by the screening regulations. Screening is fine. The key price is still high, not just high, it is simply sky-high. There are bandits who block the road and robbed the money. It is not as cruel as this shop when robbing money. I think you are not a rich person. You must have borrowed a bank loan to earn money. Since you have borrowed a loan, you should do useful things. Why do you send money here and queue here to buy something in a cold day?"

"well!"

The old man suddenly sighed and looked at the emperor and said, "When you hear this young man say that the old man knows that you are not a farmer, you have never planted land, have you been studying all the time?"

Li Shimin was less than 40 years old this year, and he was considered middle-aged in the Tang Dynasty. However, there were many middle-aged people who were still studying behind closed doors in the Tang Dynasty. In his age of forty, he still had no hands on his back. This old man lived in his sixties and had heard of such things, so he did not doubt Li Shimin's identity and only regarded the emperor as a nerd who studied behind closed doors.

Although this misunderstanding is very large, Li Shimin did not expose it.

Instead, the emperor took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and nodded and said ashamed: "I thought I could stand out, so I have been working hard for years. Although my family is a little poor, I persevere. Therefore, I rarely go to the fields to work and have never planted fields, but..."

The emperor suddenly turned his tone and then said, "But what did you mean by what you said just now? Why did you say that as soon as you open your mouth, I am a person who has never farmed?"

"Hahahaha!"

The old man suddenly laughed, and actually raised his hand and patted the emperor on the shoulder. A group of Baiqisi disguised themselves were shocked to see it. Subconsciously, he wanted to rush over and make some moves. Only the leader responded quickly and whispered in a low voice: "Be honest, your majesty doesn't need us to protect you."

The Hundred Cavalrymen were stunned at first, and then they all woke up. The emperor was following the Lord of Bohai. Who in the world could hurt the emperor in front of that fierce man?

The old man naturally could not notice the existence of the Baiqisi. After patting Li Shimin on the shoulder, he smiled again, and then said in a harmonious manner: "I said you have never planted land because there was something wrong with your problem just now. If you are a farmer, you will know what the farmers think the most, but you don't know what the farmers think the most, so the old man said as soon as he opened his mouth, you have never planted land."

This sounds a bit difficult to speak. People are indeed not as concise as scholars, but it does not prevent others from understanding it. The meaning of the words can still be expressed clearly.

Li Shimin glanced at her eyes, as if she wanted to scold Li Yun for laughing. The emperor glared at Li Yun fiercely, turned his head and asked the old man again, "Old man, I didn't understand what you meant just now."

In fact, how could the emperor not understand?

The emperor just took the opportunity to continue his cliché.

The old man did not notice it, but instead reached out and patted Li Shimin on the shoulder. He clearly showed his identity as an elder and said earnestly to the emperor: "There is only one thing that we farmers long for since ancient times to the present. What is it? It is output! The ancestors have been digging food in the ground for generations, and there is nothing bigger in the world than this."

Li Shimin took the opportunity to pretend to be thoughtful, deliberately looked up at the shop in front, and said, "I heard from me that this shop sells food."

"That's not food..." The old man suddenly had a high voice, as if he was very dissatisfied with the emperor's words, and glared: "That's the seed of the divine grain, the seed given to the human world by the gods."

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yun, turned to the old man and said deliberately: "This is not necessarily the case. After all, no one has seen whether the seeds are high or not. It is said that they are seeds of god grains, but maybe it is a gimmick for the store?"

"You, you..."

The old man was so angry that his beard was full of anxiety, and his face was filled with regret. He stomped his feet and said, "You are really stupid in studying. Who dares to sell food at a high price? Business people are the most rule-based. They always talk about it, one, two, two, forget it, the old man doesn't argue with you. When you ask, the old man is obviously not a person who wants to buy seeds. Where do you go? How can people who don't farm know the preciousness of food... "

As he said that, he seemed to have become angry again, and suddenly waved at Li Shimin repeatedly, as if he was driving him away, "Let's go, go away, don't be upset in front of the old man, it makes me very angry."

Poor Emperor Li Shimin was once again so he couldn't get out of Taiwan.

Li Yun hid behind and chuckled wickedly. He found that the emperor turned his head and his face turned solemn. He coughed and said, "Second uncle, let's move our feet, otherwise if this old man gets angry, we both will be slapped."

Li Shimin glared at him fiercely.

The emperor was kind to the people and not to his nephew. Li Yun was afraid that he would get angry, so he hid in the crowd.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the old man laughing and said happily: "It's my turn again..."

While laughing, he held up a wooden sign and tried hard to move forward. A servant at the door of the store glanced at the font size on the wooden sign, and opened his body to let the old man walk in.

Li Shimin and Li Yun looked at the old man's joyful back from afar, and the two of them quietly retreated to the crowd and stood outside the crowd.

After a long time, the emperor whispered: "I seem to understand half of it."

Li Yun took advantage of the situation and asked, pretending to be curious: "What have you understood?"

Li Shimin looked at him and snorted coldly: "I understand your intention and realize why I want to open this store. Haha, the fairy grain planting, the sky-high price of grain planting is indeed very good..."

Li Yun took a light breath and suddenly said with a serious face: "Second uncle, I can't blame me for this matter. Since ancient times, the people have been honest and honest. They have never dared to disobey the government orders in the court. Only the people have always been cautious about the fields and food."

"Yes, be cautious!" The emperor nodded and said with emotion: "Even if the knife is placed on his neck, they will only insist on farming according to the old methods. The grains passed down by our ancestors have been written into the bones of the people. Even if they are forced to not be allowed to plant, they will secretly plant them in the ground. The grains of grains are life in the hearts of the people. Only one person dies when the knife is placed on his neck. If the grains are not planted in the ground, the whole family will starve to death..."

"So if you want to promote new grain, you cannot use the court's government orders." Li Yun followed the interface and said in a deep voice: "Things engraved in the bones for thousands of years cannot be changed by a single government order. For land production, the people will only believe that seeing is true. But we need to plant new grain next year, and it is impossible to spend a year to build a display field!"

Li Shimin looked up at the crowded shop and said, "So you let someone spread the news and deliberately talked about it. When everyone in the city heard the story of overseas divine grains, you took the opportunity to open such a shop selling divine grains."

Li Yun also looked at the crowded shops and looked at the hot-faced people and said, "I used deception methods to deliberately grasp the weaknesses of people's hearts. Not only did I position the seeds at a sky-high price, but also set various rules when selling them. They were extremely strict and cumbersome. The more rigorous and cumbersome, the more confident the people..."

As he said, he stopped and murmured: "They borrowed money from the bank and immediately ran here with great enthusiasm. The money went out of my left pocket and returned to my right pocket in a blink of an eye. As soon as I went in and out, I never lost half a copper plate. And what about these people who were eager to have enough food? I gave them a future that really could have enough food."

Li Shimin suddenly raised his foot and squeezed into the crowd, saying in a deep voice: "I want to go and see it myself..."

Li Yun smiled happily and followed up and said, "My nephew should also see it myself."

The two of them squeezed into the crowd together and soon arrived at the door of the store.

The shopkeeper at the door was stunned for a moment, and one of them suddenly turned around and walked in a certain direction. Li Shimin glanced at Li Yun, and Li Yun quickly pointed at the back of the guy. The emperor instantly understood the hint and walked towards the direction the guy was heading.

Li Yun followed again and followed the guys.

It turned out that the guy wanted to take them to the back door into the shop, and the front door must not be allowed to enter the emperor and Li Yun in full view of everyone, otherwise the people would be in an uproar and may cause all kinds of troubles.

After a short while, the two of them had already entered the shop, one was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the other was the Prince of Bohai. They were quietly hiding in the corner, silently watching the process of the people buying grain.
