my brother champion

Chapter 113 Huo Guang talks about biology!Natural selection, survival of the fittest

After picking cotton during the day, at night, Huo Guang couldn't bear the kind invitation from Da Nong Ling Yan Yi, and went to his house as a guest.

Yan Yi is a clean and honest official.

Honest officials, basically the family is very poor.Naturally, Huo Guang couldn't be invited to have any good wine.

On the contrary, the two side dishes made by Yan Yu are quite suitable for Huo Guang's appetite.

at this time!

Yan Yi raised his glass and drank with Huo Guang.

Both of them took a sip, not because they wanted to savor the fine wine carefully, but because they were afraid of finishing the wine in one go.

"tsk"

Da Nong Ling slammed his mouth, as if he had drunk a peerless wine.After putting down the wine glass, he asked Huo Guang: "Huo Yilang, I remember, you studied under Confucian Dong Sheng, right?"

Huo Guang nodded and said, "Yes, it's actually not considered a teacher, but I'm still learning from Mr. Dong."

actually!

He still resisted from the bottom of his heart, and let Dong Zhongshu's fame be linked with himself.

However, Da Nongling Yan Yi smiled and said: "Since you are an elementary school, you are a disciple, how can you say that you are not a teacher."

Huo Guang shrugged and said with a smile: "The Da Nong Order says yes, so it must be!"

It is not a bad thing in the Han Dynasty to have the labels of multiple Confucian disciples.

Others have to say.

Then go ahead!
however.

At this moment, the honest Yan Yi smiled naively: "Since you are under Dong Sheng, then, according to your seniority, you have to call me Shigong!"

"Huh?" Huo Guang frowned suddenly, and asked in doubt: "What does the Da Nong Order mean? Could it be that you have something to do with Mr. Dong?"

relationship?

There is a fart relationship!
Only what I know.

In his whole life, Mr. Dong didn't have a master in the true sense, and most of the Confucian knowledge he studied was self-taught.

But without a teacher, it's not nice to say it!
then!

The famous Dong Zhongshu, externally, generally called Gongyangshou his teacher.

Who is Gong Yangshou?

It is said that it was the person who wrote "The Legend of Gongyang in Spring and Autumn", but it is impossible to find out whether there is such a person.

So Yan Yi said he was his teacher?

Huo Guang is a hundred unbelievers.

however!
Da Nongling saw that he didn't believe him, so he smiled and said, "Do you know who the famous Ziyuan was during the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"Ziyuan?"

Huo Guang's mind was running wildly, but he really didn't think of such a character.

Immediately.

He scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Da Nong Ling, I have little knowledge, so I really don't know who it is?"

"Yanzi!" Yan Yi reminded immediately.

however.

Huo Guang didn't quite understand it, so he repeated it lightly, and said, "Ah, Swallow?"

"What swallow, I'm talking about the most proud disciple of Confucius, one of the ten sages of Confucianism, Yan Hui, the head of the 72 sages, and now I am the tenth ancestor of the Yan family!" Yan Yi said angrily: "Why, what about Dong? Sheng claims to be a great Confucianist, able to distort the meaning of Spring and Autumn, so why not introduce these things to you?"

Looking at the Da Nong Order like this, he seems to be a little angry.

Huo Guang frowned suddenly, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

thought.

You can just say Yan Hui is not good!
What are you talking about, Ziyuan?

As for who is Yan Hui?

He is the revered saint known by later generations, and one of the so-called five great saints of Confucianism.

pity.

This is the Han Dynasty, and Yan Hui has not yet been listed as a saint.

It's also ridiculous.

Some saints, who did not show their prestige in life, became saints after death.That is to say, the ancients will be consecrated by later generations as saints!

Huo Guang raised his eyebrows, looked at Da Nong Ling Yan Yi, and asked curiously: "So you're talking about Yan Yuan, of course I know that, I didn't expect this Confucian senior to be your tenth generation ancestor, disrespectful and disrespectful. But this, unlike What is the relationship between me and Dong Gong?"

Yan Yi immediately said: "Why is there no connection? Dong Sheng claims to be studying the Gongyang School and studied under Gongyang Shou."

"As for the theory of rams, all theories come from "Spring and Autumn"!"

"My ancestor also participated in the master's work "Spring and Autumn". What Dong Sheng learned came from "Gongyang", and "Gongyang" was established on the basis of "Spring and Autumn."

"Convert it down."

"It's not too much for you to call me Shigong!"

ho~
Have honest people also learned to take advantage of others?

Or.

Confucianism likes to do such far-fetched things?Explain everything as interrelated!

Seeing Yan Yi's appearance like this, Huo Guang was not used to it, and immediately said: "I'm afraid I didn't say the words of Da Nongling after drinking too much. Otherwise, if it spreads out, people will laugh out loud!"

"Why do you say that?" Yan Yi asked knowingly.

"Why? Hehe" Huo Guang showed some contempt on his face, and cupped his hands and said, "It's really listening to what you have to say, like listening to what you say in vain!"

"If you mean it!"

"Then can the following inference be made?"

"I am equal to a man, and your father is equal to a man. A man is equal to a man, so am I equal to your father?"

Yan Yi heard it.

It exploded immediately, stood up and was about to beat Huo Guang, and cursed: "Zhuzi, you dare to insult my father, seek a beating!"

"It was you who insulted my IQ first!"

Huo Guang dodges immediately, his skill is much more agile than the old fellow Yan Yi.

Yan Yu, who was cooking, heard the quarrel and ran out, asking: "Father, didn't you invite Huo Yilang as a guest, why did you fight with the guest?"

now.

Yan Yi, who is a big farmer, stopped chasing Huo Guang, and said to Yan Yu: "Yu'er, you don't understand this. This is called drinking and having fun, and the literati are elegant. Let's not talk about it, let's take the place of my father and me." Huo Yilang pours the wine."

"it is good."

Yan Yu nodded, then listened to her father's words, and stepped forward to pour wine for her father and Huo Guang.

At this time.

Da Nong Ling greeted Huo Guang who was about to run away, and said, "Huo Yilang, what are you doing standing there, come over and drink."

"correct."

"I haven't asked about Baidizi'er and cotton breeding yet."

"How to choose this cotton seed?"

When Yan Yi said this, Huo Guang walked back cautiously.

At this moment.

Coincidentally, Yan Yu was pouring wine for Huo Guang, and the two were a little close to each other. Huo Guang, who was kneeling on the seat, raised his head and looked at her proud figure twice more.

"It's so big!" Huo Guang sighed softly.

however.

Unfortunately.

Yan Yi heard this, and immediately asked: "What is the truth, can Huo Yilang repeat it?"

After hearing this, Huo Guang realized his situation, and immediately said: "I mean, when it comes to cotton breeding, we should select seeds with large particles and high cotton yield. There are also those that need to be strong during the growth period of cotton plants, sick seedlings You can't want it!"

When Yan Yi heard this, he nodded immediately, and said, "Oh, Huo Yilang is talented and intelligent, didn't expect that he would even know about cultivating seeds?"

Huo Guang immediately waved his hand and said, "I was born in a rural family, so of course I know something about this."

"Just like what my mother did."

"She likes to give priority to eating the large, harvested plants, leaving the small, diseased seedlings as seeds."

"Over time, the seasons change."

"In the next few years, our family will not be able to eat many good dishes, and we even have to borrow some seeds from neighbors in order to continue planting."

Hear Huo Guang's introduction.

Yan Yi immediately burst out laughing, and said, "Honored Matre is quite interesting, Huo Yilang is so smart, why don't you persuade me?"

Huo Guang immediately shook his head and said: "I can't say it. How can a son go to preach to his mother? Isn't this against filial piety? Besides, I dare not say it. If I talk too much, I'm afraid my mother will beat her with a broom."

aside.

Listening to Huo Guang's words, Yan Yu also covered her mouth and giggled.

Huo Guang glanced at Yan Yu and said, "What's so funny about it, isn't it normal for children to be beaten by their parents?"

Yan Yu's expression changed immediately, and she stopped smiling.

look.

The mood seems to be getting worse.

Huo Guang didn't pay attention to this detail, and just continued on his own: "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Natural selection, survival of the fittest'?"

Yan Yi immediately shook his head and said, "No."

Of course he had never heard of this sentence, after all, it was said by a certain biological scientist eighteen centuries later.

Although Yan Yi had never heard of it!
But this didn't prevent Huo Guang from taking it out and filling it in a cup!

"Ahem!" Huo Guang cleared his throat, and explained to Yan Yi in a preaching manner: "This natural selection means that all things in the world must compete with each other if they want to survive. Survival of the fittest, Only the victors, or the fittest, survive."

"For crops like cotton, grains, etc."

"We who sow seeds are their gods!"

"We have to choose the best seeds and leave them for future generations to sow. Those bad ones will be reduced to our food, or weeded out."

After hearing this, Yan Yi said with a faint smile: "It's really listening to what you say, like listening to what you say in vain!"

Good guy!
How can Yan Yi learn from himself?
Ah.
The so-called honest people are not honest at all.

Huo Guang looked at Yan Yi, raised his glass helplessly, took a sip, and said, "The Da Nong Order, in fact, I can't drink alcohol yet. Being a guest at the house today has already given me a bad reputation."

"If it's a chat, isn't it speculative?"

"I think, Ben Yilang should go back first!"

Hear this.

Yan Yu immediately stood up, and said: "Isn't it a good chat? Just now my father said that he was drinking and having fun, and that he was an elegant scholar. Why is Huo Yilang leaving all of a sudden?"

Look at Yan Yu's appearance.

Huo Guang seemed to understand that something was wrong with Yan Yi's attitude towards him.

original.

From his daughter.

At this moment.

Yan Yi suddenly said to Yan Yu: "Yu'er, why do I smell a burning smell?"

When Yan Yu heard this, she remembered something.

Immediately he was surprised, and quickly ran to the kitchen to check.

See his daughter leave.

Da Nong ordered Yan Yi to ask Huo Guang: "What do Huo Yilang think of Xi Nu?"

breath girl.

In fact, it is a name for one's own daughter in front of others during the Han Dynasty.

Huo Guang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Why did Da Nong Ling ask me this? I am [-] years old and have not yet performed the crown ceremony. Are you asking the wrong person?" ?”

however.

Yan Yi shook his head, and said, "Huo Yilang is thinking too much, I don't want to betroth my daughter to you."

"Oh?" Huo Guang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Yan Yi smiled faintly, and said: "Huo Yilang is the younger brother of the champion. General Hussars has surpassed the achievements of General Wei at a young age. In the future, you two brothers will have a bright future in the court."

Did you mean to flatter me by saying this?

Not quite right!

If it were someone else to curry favor with Huo Guang, that would be justified.

But who is Yan Yi!

He was a direct minister who dared to hate even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time he was a big farmer in the Jiuqing, and he was in charge of the country's economic officials.

Can he curry favor with himself?

No one will believe this!

Huo Guang then shook his head, frowned and said, "If there is something to do with the Da Nong Order, please speak up!"

Hearing Huo Guang's words, Yan Yi immediately smiled and said, "Huo Yilang is really smart, so I'll just say it straight."

"For the past two days, Yan watched the sky at night, and suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, and a faint sense of crisis came from his heart."

"then."

"So I asked someone to divination a hexagram for me, the six lines of yin, this is a sign of disaster."

"Huo Yilang."

"If something happens to Yan someday, can you take care of the descendants of my Yan family?"

Watching the sky at night?

What about Liuyao disaster?

Good guy, why are you talking about this!

Huo Guang didn't believe this from birth, so he said immediately: "Da Nong Ling, I actually don't believe what you said. You can really predict disasters, why don't you hide?"

Yan Yi replied: "It's fate, you can't escape."

Ah!
Fate?Still can't escape?
Feudal superstition!

Huo Guang immediately shook his head and sighed: "If there is such a disaster, Da Nong Ling, as a courtier, is afraid that his relatives and friends will not be low in status. Why, Dudu entrusted me, an outsider?"

however.

But Yan Yi cupped his hands at this moment and said: "Wrong, Huo Yilang, Yan did not entrust you alone."

"after."

"We still have to tell other relatives and friends about this."

Isn't this the scumbag routine of casting a wide net, collecting more fish, and choosing the best?
Ha ha!

Fortunately, Yan Yi was not born in modern times, otherwise, he would be a scumbag again.

After thinking for a while, Huo Guang cupped his hands and said, "If there is a day, I will take care of Sister Yu'er if I can."

"but."

"It's just divination, it's not true."

"Boy, I still think that the Da Nong Order is a bit unfounded."

"Then thank Huo Yilang first." Yan Yi didn't refute Huo Guang's words, but just shook the empty wine jar and sighed: "In this whole life, Yan felt that he was worthy of the sky above, and worthy of the earth below. The common people of the Han Dynasty."

"The only thing that didn't take good care of Yu'er."

"Ashamed of her mother."

Two days later, the news that the border of the Han Dynasty was plundered by the Huns cavalry reached the ears of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Immediately.

The Han emperor, who had been in low spirits in recent days, was full of energy when he heard the word "Xiongnu".

Not much to say.

A three-day court meeting was held directly.This is a rare thing in the Han court.

of course.

Such a meeting.

A man like Huo Guang with a salary of [-] shi could not participate without an edict.

now.

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was furious. Looking at the officials below, he couldn't help scolding: "Two years ago, I wanted to send troops to the north to fight the Huns who fled far away in Mobei."

"You say."

"The Huns have been driven to Mobei, and they can't make a difference."

"I still need to curb my warlike heart, what a lot of nonsense to stop fighting and rest!"

"now what?"

"talk!"

"Why don't you talk anymore?"

"Ok?"

"The cavalry of the Huns have all come to the Hetao area, burning, killing and looting my people. You three lords who are greedy for comfort, why are you silent?"

"what?"

"Everyone is dumb!"
