Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 181 The Clever Little Doudou
"Why, don't you believe me? Do you think I'm talking nonsense?" Li Yuanying mocked a little, and then gave an example without waiting for the other party to speak, "It is well known that human beings eat five grains, such as wheat. It is we who grow and feed wheat and use it as food. Wheat is no different from the pigs and sheep we raise in captivity.

But what if you look at it from a height, not from a human perspective?What about from the perspective of wheat?Just by using its seeds, wheat has enslaved generations of human beings to propagate and multiply. If human beings did not intervene, wheat would be just a sparse weed with little competitive advantage, and it would definitely not develop to such a scale and status. "

"Father-in-law, can you tell me clearly whether humans have used wheat or wheat has used humans? Are humans smart or wheat smart?"

This, this... Cui Junchuo stood on the spot dumbfounded.

Xiao Doudou clapped his hands and applauded: "Wow, Maimai is so smart, it's like doing business with humans, hehe, is Maimai a businessman too, Daddy? How do you know this? Can you chat with Maimai? Teach me OK?"

"Aren't you going to make delicious food? Let's go, I'll cook for you first." Li Yuanying was about to leave with her daughter in her arms, but Cui Junchuo came to his senses and stopped him: "Wait a minute, can you tell me about your conditions?"

Xiao Doudou pouted and complained: "Grandpa, you don't want to do business with me if you don't want to do business with me. You have to find my father. Look at you now, you have been tricked by my father... Cough cough, you can't handle it so hard, why not?" Let's eat first, how about I talk to you after dinner?"

Li Yuanying gave her daughter a blank look, which means that you should be careful when you speak, you are a big kid, and I know you are a small businessman, but if you tear down your father and my station, don't you want to go home?

Cui Junchuo took the granddaughter in his arms and said kindly: "Grandpa and you can only do business with a few comic books. Besides, didn't you buy them for you to read? You don't understand the affairs of adults. It's not that grandpa is talking to your father. Talk, but the entire Cui family."

Just like that, the old man held his granddaughter on his lap and returned to the negotiating table with Li Yuanying.

"My son-in-law, have you ever thought that even if the old man discloses the secret library of the Cui family and asks you to use it to cultivate talents, you may not be able to cultivate talents for the country to use. People say that a century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, and aristocratic families It has been in business for hundreds of years, and you can’t break the rules by distributing some books.” Cui Junchuo seemed to want to regain the initiative, with an expression of winning.

Li Yuanying didn't answer, and asked with a joking smile: "Why don't we give it a try? It's okay to make a written bet."

You... old man Cui was impatient, he rolled his eyes and said, "So what if the former Emperor Daye created the imperial examination system? Didn't he end up making wedding dresses for others, and also lost the luck of the whole country?"

"The imperial examination system is the first of its kind in history, and the future is destined to prosper. Temporary success or failure is not enough to prove anything. I believe that history will give the best answer in a few hundred years." Li Yuanying raised her eyebrows, and her tone was a little bit tough: "You just say something lightly Just summed up the fate of the former Sui Dynasty, is it warning me that the Tang Dynasty should not follow the old path of the former Sui Dynasty's collapse?"

Cui Junchuo took a sip from his teacup, but didn't speak.

Li Yuanying didn't care, and continued: "I believe that even during the period of Emperor Daye and even during the period of Wude, the imperial examination system made wedding dresses for others, but you didn't do it effortlessly, and you should have paid a lot of money." , and even to this day, he is always vigilant as if walking on eggshells.

Hehe, let's leave this topic aside and discuss the matter as it stands. You ask me what the conditions are?In fact, you don't understand my intentions at all. It is purely for the country to select materials for education. It is nothing without your Cui family's collection of books. My collection, and even the royal family's collection, are enough to teach and educate people. "

Cui Junchuo was puzzled: "Oh? Then why do you bother?"

"Before answering, it's better to guess a riddle: If a drop of water does not dry up, what is the best way?" Li Yuanying asked with a smile.

Cui Junchuo chuckled: "It's simple, just put it in a bottle and seal it. Children know it."

"Hahahaha, it's wrong, it's wrong, grandpa is so stupid." Xiao Doudou laughed unabashedly, which made old boss Cui very embarrassed.

Li Yuanying smiled calmly: "Doudou, do you have a better way?"

The little guy nodded heavily, "Well, the best way to keep a drop of water from drying up is to put it in more water, such as rivers, lakes, and ponds, right? Daddy, hehe, I thought you were talking about something Well, it turned out to be the brain teaser we play every day."

I... put in more water?This... Cui Junchuo felt so stupid, it was too embarrassing, and he said just now that children knew it.

Li Yuanying nodded and praised: "Doudou is really smart, your answer is completely correct. The accurate answer should be to put a drop of water into the sea, but you have never seen the sea, so the answer to lakes and rivers is also correct."

"The sea? Daddy, what does the sea look like? Is it bigger than the big river in the north?" Xiao Doudou asked curiously.

"It's huge. The sea is full of water. It's vast and endless. If you have the opportunity to take you to see it, you'll know."

"How big is it? How many big rivers are as big?" Xiao Doudou asked. The big river she was talking about was the Yellow River. She and Li Yuanying lived in Taiyuan before, and they even went out to do business together, so they have seen the Yellow River.

Cui Junchuo coughed lightly: "Doudou, I want to see the sea when I look back. Grandpa took you there, and I'm talking about business with your father now. Wulang, so you said that you waste so much effort, you are not for selection, but for inheritance?"

Nodding his head, Li Yuanying said earnestly with reverie and reminiscence: "Yes, inheritance is not the inheritance of family names, but the inheritance of knowledge. It has been more than 3000 years since ancient sages created writing and civilization, but every few After a hundred years of war or successive years of disasters, how many ancient books and wisdom have been damaged and lost in the long river of history. The population is increasing, but books are only available in a small number of these noble families. This is not the wish of the sages, nor is it What scholars of my generation want to see, so we need to do something, that's all!"

Yeah, no wonder, no wonder the question is asked, how does a drop of water not dry up?In the same way, if the books of sages and sages are not lost, they must be widely circulated. If everyone in the world has a collection, how can they be lost?A drop of water never dries up again.

Hearing this, Cui Junchuo felt a sense of sympathy and admiration in his heart. He couldn't help admiring the young son-in-law. Putting down his granddaughter, he got up and saluted Li Yuanying. This salute was for his virtue and ambition.

"Okay, the Cui family is also a family of poems and books, how can we not cooperate with all our efforts? The old man called everyone to discuss again, trying to understand everyone." Cui Junchuo said earnestly.

Li Yuanying bowed his hands to express his thanks, "The original conditions remain the same. I will give you a set of rare edition classics, which can be preserved for thousands of years. In the future, if you get a collection of books from other families, I will share a set with you, so that different families have a complete collection of books. In the future Even if one is damaged, the inheritance will not be broken. By the way, those who contribute to the collection will be recorded in the imperial history books."

This last sentence made Cui Junchuo's eyes light up, pointing at Li Yuanying and spitting cunningly, for this big family that is not short of money, reputation is a must.

After listening to it for a long time, Xiao Doudou finally understood the general idea, and said cutely, "Daddy, so you want the books in Grandpa's house. It's that simple. I'll memorize a shelf a day, and they will all be moved into my house in less than a month." Get it in your head, hehe, when the time comes for the two of us to do business, if you have money, you can just give it to me, I don’t want money, just cook me delicious food every day."

What?real or fake?Cui Junchuo didn't believe it. Isn't this just bragging.

Li Yuanying slapped his forehead: "How did I forget this? Doudou is born with a photographic memory, and he can memorize any classics after reading it once. She has already read the medical books in the imperial palace. It only takes five days. By the way, Doudou is here for you." How many times have you seen Grandpa's house?"

"Not much, I just read a comparison between ancient and modern texts. I have been playing outside for the past few days. I am going to start reading tomorrow. My little cousin is not here. I have no one to play. I can only read books." The little guy was a little bored. .

Hehe, look, this is revealing. I have been here for a few days and only read one book. What is a photographic memory?Old man Cui squinted his eyes and started talking to himself, thinking that the father and daughter are acting together to scare me?

"Oh? That book, I know that one, it's quite thick, how long have you read it?" Li Yuanying asked pretending to be surprised.

"Not long, half an hour!"

Pfft... Old man Cui passed out successfully.
