Chapter 1484 We are all Chinese(1/2)
"Brother, if you really have a bad choice, we should choose the warrior army. The warrior army has the full support of the Commander Hall, and the warrior army has so many quasi-warriors and warriors. Therefore, the development of the warrior army will definitely not be small in the future. If the warrior army wants to develop, it cannot be separated from a large amount of resources. Now that we hand over this thing, the warrior army will get a huge resource library.
Brother, you should know that it is better to provide timely help than to add icing on the cake. Now we will hand over this thing directly, which is to provide timely help to the warriors. At that time, the things we get will far exceed our imagination, Brother..."
Xu Jie was very anxious to persuade Xu Chang, which made Xu Chang hesitate on the side, because Xu Jie's words were indeed reasonable.
The dictionary of timely help is that when you are cold and lonely, you will send you a pot of charcoal to keep you warm. In reality, it means that when you are facing frustration, encountering bumps, and bleak future, it will send you a warmth, enthusiasm and support.
Icing on the cake means adding flowers to the beautiful brocade fabric, which is a metaphor for slightly modifying to make the beautiful people more beautiful, and an extended metaphor for further improving on the basis of original achievements.
The words come from the Song of Huang Tingjian of the Song Dynasty: "I want to write a song with Weng Fu again, and add icing on the cake."
In addition, Li Yu of the Qing Dynasty, "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix? Let the Crown": "The three ladies congratulate you, and they became the top scholar's wife, entered a new house, and released the usual rifts. It's really icing on the cake."
The second session of the Chairman's Speech at the Yan-An Literature and Art Symposium: "For them, the first step is not to add icing on the cake. It is to provide timely assistance, so under the current conditions, the task of popularizing work is more urgent."
Some people say that the people who provide timely help are the ones they thank the most. And the people who add icing on the cake are often unreliable. Indeed, adding icing on the cake is often a snobbish, while the people who provide timely help are often a symbol of kindness, kindness and loyalty.
What is a timely help? When you are hungry and your pockets are empty, someone invites you to eat a steamed bun for 50 cents and a hot soup of 20 cents. This is a timely help.
What is the icing on the cake? You just bought a new piece of clothing and someone else gave you a very beautiful brooch. With this brooch, it makes the clothes more expensive, but without this brooch, the clothes are still bright and beautiful. This is the icing on the cake.
According to "History of the Song Dynasty? Taizong Ji", one year it was snowing heavily and the weather was very cold.
Emperor Taizong of Song suddenly remembered the pitifulness of the poor in the palace, so he sent officials to take grain and charcoal to give it to the poor and lonely old people, so that they could have rice to cook and charcoal to make a fire to keep warm.
Many people are grateful to Emperor Taizong of Song for his timely help.
There is a poor man who also wants to imitate the timely help of the ancients, but his family is very poor and he can't even afford charcoal. How can he give it to others?
Therefore, timely help is also for some capable people. Why can Emperor Taizong of Song give timely help? Because he has this ability. All the people in the world belong to him.
Why can't the poor help in time is because they don't have the ability.
On the contrary, are the people who add icing on the cake definitely unreliable? No!
The people who add icing on the cake are the people you meet when you are rich and powerful. Can you guarantee what they are like when you are in the future? You can't, so we can only remember those who provide timely help in our most difficult times, and those who add icing on the cake when we are developed are often ignored by us.
So, we should be the ones who help in time, or the ones who add icing on the cake. In fact, the best thing is to keep a normal heart, hold a grateful heart, and treat everyone and everything calmly.
If I am in adversity, I hope someone who helps in time; on the contrary, if I am in good times, I am willing to be a help in time; if others have difficulties, I am willing to be a help in time; if others have a prosperous career, I am willing to be the icing on the cake.
Whether you choose to help in time or add icing on the cake, it is a personal choice. As long as you are willing and as long as you do not violate morality, you can help in time or add icing on the cake.
The world is cool and the human relationship is shallow; the world of flowers is full of luxury and wealth.
In the impermanent fate of everything, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely help; it is easy to add to the insult, but it is difficult to extradite.
Have you ever seen that when flowers bloom, they swarm and beat; when flowers fade, the wind and rain hit.
When I am alone and have no home, it is you who can open the thatched house for a rest with a smile; when I am lonely in the desert, it is the shrunk water bag you take out in your arms; when I am lost and embarrassed, it is you who can ignite the lights in the vast night sky; when I am trembling in the snowy icebergs, it is the warmth of the pot of molten charcoal fire you have brought...
"The fish knows that the water is warm and the water is cold, and don't tell others about frustration." How can there be such sighs and sorrows without experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world?
"I want to see the world in the future, and I want to speak of the sword of human love."
A couplet contains so much life experience, and how much unfair anger and frustrated sadness are contained in it?
Duke Huan of Qi, the lord of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, was a hero of his generation. After his death, his five sons fought for the throne of royal power and did not die for a hundred days. The poor heroic Duke Huan of Qi was bitten by flies and maggots, and only a white bone was left on the spiritual bed.
Just imagine, if the parent-child is like this, let alone the ordinary situation?
A good word is warm in winter. For those who are trapped in suffering, a warm word of help and a little bit of dew are like a helping hand stretched out on the cliff, and it is also the warmth of charcoal fire sent on a snowy night.
What a contrast between forgetting righteousness when seeing profit and sacrificing oneself for righteousness. Which is more important between father and son or friend? There is no need to argue too much. The virtue lies in it, which is caused by human nature.
The kindness and cruel whip will get fragrance and curse, and the rewards of beauty and ugliness should be proportional to the return.
Di Kensheng once said: "If I can make up for a broken heart, I will not be alive in vain. If I can relieve the pain of a life, soothe a trauma, or let a bird leave the nest return to the nest, I will not be alive in vain."
The gift of true love is the treasure from the end of the world, the merciful voyage from the sea of suffering, and the help of the shore. The warmth of the charcoal fire and the fragrance of human nature are like the cactus flowers in the desert, wonderful and brilliant. Like the fire trees soaring into the sky in the night, gorgeous and brilliant.
The impetuousness of the times and the weak human feelings. When you are proud, your friends will know you; when you are in trouble, you will see your friends. In today's world, people are too keen on flattery that adds icing on the cake, but they are disdainful of giving timely help.
When the rain is sunny, there are mostly rainbows hanging in the slanting direction; when the snow is cold, there are fewer people who give them charcoal and fire.
Haven't you seen that there are fat gooses and ducks that are thrown away at random in the ditch of the rich mansion, but there are few leftovers in the beggar's trembling in the cold wind.
Oh, the bright red of the charcoal fire is like the flowers of human nature blooming in the snowy night; the heat of the charcoal fire symbolizes the inexhaustible warm current of human nature. The tears of sympathizers melt the snow on the earth; the spiritual heart of charitable people creates the spring light in the warm winter.
The long river of history flows through the green field in my heart; the warm flowers bloom all over the hills of my memory.
My true friend, in my brilliant garden, you don’t have to add icing; but in the cold snowy field of your life, I want to give you charcoal fire...
Let us bravely move towards the moral barrier!
The ancients said: "A gentleman needs it urgently, but does not add wealth to the rich."
Confucius's student Gong Xichi went to Qi State for envoy. Ran You asked for rice and grain for Gong Xichi's mother.
Confucius said, "Give her six dou and four liters"; Ran You asked for more, but Confucius said, "Give her two dou and four liters more." Ran You ignored the teacher's advice, but gave her eighty stones of food for An's family.
Confucius said earnestly, "Dong Xichi lived a good life in Qi State Council, and he was fully capable of solving his mother's life. As the saying goes, a gentleman needs it urgently, and does not add wealth to the rich."
It means that there is no need to add icing on the cake for those who have enough life, but to help those poor people and help them in time!
My grandfather once said something to me in a meaningful way: "You don't need to pour too much tea for them to drink, but those poor and miserable families should pour tea and hand water, because they will remember you for a long time and be grateful in their hearts!"
Grandpa was over 80 years old at that time, and he could be said to have a lot of views on the vicissitudes of life. Now if you think about it carefully, his words are exactly the same as Confucius's views.
Personally, I also agree very much: instead of adding icing on the cake for others, it is better to help others in time! It is not to show how noble my moral character is, just because my thoughts are like this!
But where is the reality in life? I believe everyone empathizes with it? Yes, today's society is mostly icing on the cake, but there is little timely help.
Those who add icing on the cake: some admire people, some climbing friends, some chasing with the wind and waves, some catching up with the trend, and some joining in the fun... The mentality of "selling them with peaches and hoping that the other party will repay them with plums" is even more "the heart of Sima Zhao is known to everyone" in some people!
Therefore, when a person's career is at its peak and his future is as bright as a bright future, his family is full of people, and there will always be a group of people throwing garlands on this satin brocade! (Not asking what kind of mentality you have for the time being)
In fact, the flowers are already blooming, and adding another flower can make you more beautiful? Is it yours that can give you the finishing touch? Also, there are too many people who add icing on the cake. Those who are icing may not remember who you are. I am afraid it’s just a passing cloud, floating in front of others without leaving a trace of mark!
There are so many people who add icing on the cake, but there are very few who can help in time.
"The rich family smells like wine and meat, and there are bones that are frozen on the road" is the best portrayal of the cold and cold human relationships!
When you are in a poor and weak position, how many people can stand by your side and truly give you warmth, support and help? A frustrated person may not be afraid of the pain of falling, but must be afraid of being forgotten!
At this time, a little bit of love and care from others, even the fire of stars will ignite and warm his entire heart! When a person is hungry and cold, if you give him a few steamed buns and a bowl of hot soup, he will be grateful and remember you for the rest of his life.
If you want to ask me what is timely help, then I will tell you that this is timely help!
I am a friend, I don’t ask for icing on the cake, but I hope to help you in time.
There is no smooth sailing in life. When "the west wind withered the green trees last night", I looked at the end of the world. What you need is someone who helps you build bridges and ladders and helps you in time.
The person who helps you at this time is your true friend. When you pass through dangerous peaks and "seeing all the mountains at a glance", those who bring you garlands and call you brothers, you must be careful. Perhaps the friendship they give you is not sincere and reliable.
Flowers can be pleasing to the eye, but charcoal can be warm to the heart! The flowers are clustered like passing clouds, fleeting in a flash; perhaps the little sparks that remain in the heart, because sparks can also be imprinted!
Those who add icing on the cake may only get a ritual smile, but those who provide timely helpers get a grateful look. How can the inner loss of the former and the fulfillment and happiness of the latter be compared? Thanks and gratitude are not the same on the same level!
If you think about it, do you realize that you are careful? From the perspective of your own, "helping for charcoal" and "icing for charcoal" are actually a kind of help to others. There is no distinction between praise and criticism. The reason why the above worldly situation appears in reality is mainly because the "helping for charcoal" or "icing for charcoal" is not sure about the mentality in it!
Those who "provid charcoal" often feel that it is unprofitable to make a contribution, and are afraid that people who need charcoal will avoid it; those who "add charcoal" will seek it, and often have impure motivation.
If we put aside the interests and the "charcoal supply" people cherish their bodies, and a kind heart gives warmth to the "charcoal-needed" people in the snow; before the flowers are clustered, it is not impossible to silently applaud and appreciate with a normal heart!
In short, whether it is "supporting charcoal" or "icing icing", when helping others, you can only be called the most beautiful without attaching too many intentions to it! In this state of human heart, helping charcoal in time and adding icing on the cake can achieve good stories.
Xuchang knew very well the difference between helping charcoal in time and adding icing on the cake. If a person has the conditions, of course he wanted to help charcoal in time. Xuchang actually thought so in his heart, but the powerful force of the management of Yushi District has been under Xuchang's heart, which forced Xuchang to think carefully.
This is the Wulin Secret Realm. What is really the leader is the upper class of the Wulin Secret Realm, not the Commander Hall in Peking. If you can counteract the local authority in a country, what will happen... Xuchang can imagine what the consequences will be.
Perhaps such consequences do not matter to the warriors' troops and can bear them, but such consequences are too serious for ordinary families like Xuchang and others.
Even if the Xuchang family goes back hundreds of years, they are all ordinary people. They have no confidence to go against the management of the Jade District. Even the elders of the Commander Hall do not have the confidence to go against the management of the Jade District. You can tell if you think about the Golden Eagle Knights and Black Nightmare Heavy Cavalry who are showing great power on the earth.
It is precisely because of these concerns that Xuchang feels hesitant in his heart.
Xu Jie's words just now make sense. He handed over this gold mine to the warriors' army, which is to provide timely assistance to the warriors' army. The benefits their family will get will be the greatest, the most satisfying, and the most important thing, Xuchang will feel the most comfortable.
However, if the gold mine is handed over to the lost management, Xuchang's actions will only be icing on the cake.
The jade area management only gets a small amount of gold from the jade pagoda every day. Now, adding such a gold mine does not actually have any decisive effect on the jade area management. At best, it is icing on the cake.
Therefore, the number of rewards that Xuchang family will receive will not be very large by then.
Of course, even if this number is not a big number in the mind of the management of the Yushi District, it is already calculated as an astronomical number for the Xuchang family. At that time, the Xuchang family would be very happy.
However, it is not necessarily all that is happy here. At least, Xuchang felt a little guilty in his heart. He discovered such a big gold mine, but he handed the gold mine to the management of the Yushi District and did not hand it over to the armed forces. Isn’t it equivalent to xenophobia! At that time, if the people from the warriors’ army find out about this matter, then Xuchang’s family...
Alas... Thinking of this, Xu Chang sighed heavily. His head was big. Now he really didn't know how to choose.
"Xiaojie, it would be great if things really were as you thought. I also want to hand over this thing to the warriors' army (Xuchang will not say the term gold mine, just in case), but you have to think that this is not China, this is the martial arts secret realm, and the one who decides in the martial arts secret realm is not the elders of the commander-in-chief hall in Peking, but the upper-class people in the martial arts secret realm.
We can hand over this thing to the warriors' army, but if this arouses dissatisfaction among the upper-class people in the martial arts secret realm, what should we do at that time?
The Wulin Secret Realm is definitely the best place for parents to retire. If the upper class of the Wulin Secret Realm hates our family because of this incident, they will drive our family out of the Wulin Secret Realm. What should we do then?
This is better to consider. If some upper-level figures in the secret realm of the martial arts world are dissatisfied with our family and attack us directly, how can we resist at that time and how can the warriors resist?! We will regret it at that time, too late, ah...!" Xu Chang sighed again: "Xiaojie, things are very difficult to handle!"
"Yes, things are really difficult!" Xu Jie repeated Xu Chang's words, and now he felt that things were very difficult. The warriors' army cannot afford to offend them, and the management of the Yushi District, Xu Chang's family cannot afford to offend them. Now Xu Jie feels that they are really embarrassed!
"Oh..." A heavy sigh sounded beside the fire, and Xu Chang and Xu Jie both began to fall silent...
"Crack..." A few sounds, the firewood in the fire exploded a few times. At this time, Xu Jie looked up and held his hands. Then he spoke with a firm look on his face: "Brother, I thought about it, let's give this thing to the warriors' army."
To be continued...
