Chapter 307: Melancholic Old Man

"Fish! There's a big fish!"

At this time, the farmer who was cleaning the canal suddenly pointed and yelled inside, Fang Xing said happily: "See, I can catch fish even if I clean up a canal, hahaha!"

Li Mao looked at Fang Xing with pity and said, "It's just a fish, do you feel that the future is hopeless and start to give up on yourself?"

"What a big fish! At least twenty catties!"

Hearing the shouts over there, Fang Xing wanted to catch fish with an itchy heart, so he said, "I said you are annoying or not, just like you, if you pass the Jinshi examination next year, then God has no eyes!"

"Wait, wait for me to catch it!"

Fang Xing threw down a few words and rushed over excitedly. Li Mao shouted at his back: "You wait, I will convince you next year!"

What is the concept of more than 20 catties of fish?

Almost one-third of the canal was blocked by this big fish. As soon as Fang Xing arrived, he jumped down with a few farmers, and his whole body was splashed by the big fish. The water got wet.

"It's a meaning for the family present at the scene."

Fang Xing only wanted the fish head, so he generously gave up the fish body to the farmers.

When Fang Xing walked home with a big fish head, he saw a somewhat familiar old man not far away.

Seeing Fang Xing holding a fish head, the old man frowned and asked, "Is this food edible?"

Fang Xing first put the fish head on the grass by the side of the road to salute, and then said with a smile: "Why is the old man free to come to Fangjiazhuang today? If you don't mind, let's wait for the boy to make fish head tofu soup.

Shall we have a drink together? "

"Head bean soup?"

The old man shook his head and said: "The old man just walked around casually, why did you go down the river to catch fish?"

"It's nothing, but it was caught when the water flooded the field and went to clean the canal."

"Knife!"

Fang Xing felt that the straw rope binding the fish heads was too tight, so he yelled.

"Master."

The knife following from afar immediately came over to pick up the fish head.

"Go home and ask Hua Niang to remove the fishy smell first, and eat it at night."

Thinking of the taste of tofu fish head, Fang Xing couldn't help rubbing his stomach. Today's lunch at Zhang's was not very appetizing, so he only ate two bowls, and now he feels a little hungry.

The old man watched this scene with great interest, and then asked, "What will happen if the seedlings are flooded?"

Are you trying to teach me?

Fang Xing said indifferently: "Paddy rice breathes like people. If it is submerged in water for a long time, some changes will occur in the roots, just like changes in wine making, and the roots will rot!"

The old man thought for a while, nodded and said, "You are very knowledgeable."

"Hehe! It's just some trails!"

These words sounded like he was being humble, but Fang Xing had a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"Xiaodao?" The old man didn't see Fang Xing's face, and said, "The biggest country is food! Without food, the country will be in chaos!"

These words are somewhat insightful, but Fang Xing said: "Old man, but look at those scholars today, who has gone to the field? Who knows the crops have survived? In the end, I just want to get lucky and get on the list, and then get along well An errand, a lifetime of glory and wealth."

Seeing the old man's silence, Fang Xing said in an injustice: "Those people don't know the five grains, don't work hard, and if they pass the Jinshi exam, they will have a solid job. They just have to learn these things from the beginning, otherwise they will be controlled by petty officials and aides. What is the difference between an official and a wooden man!"

At this time, it was actually pretty good, but in the middle and late stages, those Jinshi who had been influenced by stereotyped writing could only become old fritters in the officialdom, and then form cliques, making the court a mess.

As for the threat of people's livelihood and foreign enemies, these civil servants don't care.

——History has proved that no matter who seized the Central Plains, we scholars are a group of people who are treated preferentially, so why worry about it!

Let's keep going!

As a result, they met the laid-off worker in the express delivery industry. When the city of Beiping was broken and Emperor Chongzhen, who was abandoned by his officials, died in despair on Meishan, Li Zicheng's butcher knife was also on the necks of civil servants and relatives.

Take money, take money, and kill you if you don't have money!

As for why literati are required to govern the world, but my subordinates just want money, and if there is no money, the Chuang Wang will be finished!

But King Chuang dispersed in just a gust of wind, and Man Qing, who finally entered the Central Plains, just threw out a few bones, and this group of people went crazy.

——This is the prosperous age! Since the records in China, have you ever seen such a glorious and prosperous age?

"They're all a bunch of wild dogs with bones!"

Although Fang Xing's voice was low, the old man still heard it. He smiled and said, "Then what do you think of the present?"

Fang Xing thought for a while and said: "It's okay now, but this is also related to the toughness of the Taizu and His Majesty today. I estimate that in fifty years at most, our Daming's bureaucracy will have to decline."

With his hands behind his back, the old man looked at the households busy in the fields, and asked, "Then tell me, why will the government be broken after fifty years?"

Fang Xing sighed and said: "Great environment! This officialdom is like a big dye vat, which will gradually change from clear to turbid. And if you don't dye yourself into the same color as everyone else, you will naturally be Birds in their early stages will be killed with a single shot sooner or later!"

"This is not something that can be changed by harsh punishments." Fang Xing recalled those examples, and said, "The salary of my dynasty is low, but even if it has been improved, people's hearts are endless, and people who should be greedy have to be greedy."

The old man sighed and said, "I heard that the crown prince has been grounded, what do you think?"

"It deserves it!" Fang Xing felt that the old man was very kind and hit it off with him, so he said, "That's His Majesty's pro-army, why can't we bear with it and give His Majesty a memorial first?"

Fang Xing felt that Zhu Gaochi was indeed a little impulsive at the time, "Your Majesty is the emperor right away, if he knows about this, he must come back from Beiping immediately! Whoever does it will be unlucky, not as it is now, I was impulsive, and I was punished for causing trouble to others.”

Thinking of Wanwan's tears of grievance that day, Fang Xing gritted his teeth at that Zhu Zhanyong.

"The current baby is really incredible. She has a lot of scheming at such a young age, but it's a pity that it's useless in the right way."

These words immediately resonated with the old man. He looked at the cloudless and blue sky after the rain, and said slowly: "The old man has quite a few properties in his family, but the sons are all fighting for it. There are so many tricks out there, it’s embarrassing!"

Fang Xing looked at the old man sympathetically, and persuaded him: "Old man, if I want to have several sons in the future, I might as well divide the family property into several shares. The eldest will take more to support us, and the rest will be shared equally. I think there should be less disputes like this!"

The old man looked at Fang Xing in amazement and said, "Is the eldest son just taking more?"

According to the current rules, the eldest son who takes over the family business does not get more, but a lot more, so the old man is very surprised by Fang Xing's plan.

Fang Xing took it for granted, "I think the most important thing to leave to your children is not money and property, but knowledge and the ability to gain a foothold in this world. Others are just random."

The old man's face became a little dazed, and he murmured: "How can there be such an easy thing! As you said just now, human nature is greedy, and it can't be stopped!"

Fang Xing guessed that the old man's house was already full of trouble, so he came out to relax. He could only sympathize with this.

"Greed is like fire, if you don't stop it, it will start a prairie fire; desire is like water, if you don't stop it, it will spread to the sky."

Fang Xing sighed: "Han Fei's words are very incisive, and they are of great reference value to the kid. How to control one's greed is a question worth pondering for a lifetime."
