Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Your Highness, I must be the one to win today. Your golden saber is mine now." Of course, the one fishing with Li Zhen was his 'Five King Kongs'. At this time, it was Cheng Chuliang who was talking, and the one beside him The barrel is already full of all kinds of sea fish, ranging from a one-meter-long tuna to palm-sized squid. There are more than 20 of them, especially the tuna, which ranks among all fish in terms of value. First, this one fish alone is worth all the fish caught.

Therefore, whether it is in terms of the quantity of fishing or the quality of the catch, Cheng Chuliang is far superior to others. It is no wonder that he is so confident that he can win this game.

"Hmph, that's not necessarily the case." Li Zhen refused to admit defeat: "The matter is not at the last moment, so never talk too much."

"Your Highness, don't be stubborn. Do you think you still have a chance of victory?" Cheng Chuliang squinted at Li Zhen's bucket. There were only three or five of them, and the biggest one was just a crucian carp. It was so pitiful.

"Your Highness, now that the general situation has been decided, how do you win your subordinates?" Cheng Chuliang said triumphantly, "You march and fight, and even conduct yourself in the world, don't you always like to overwhelm others? Now that your subordinates have become the general situation, how can you still turn it around?" Opportunity?"

"Hahaha...you are right, I just like to overwhelm people with power." Li Zhen suddenly stood up, grabbed Cheng Chuliang's fish bucket, flipped it over and poured it into his own bucket.

Seeing the dumbfounded Cheng Chuliang, Li Zhen sneered shamelessly and said, "Now I am the prince, and I order you to hand over all the fish to me. I think you will not agree?"

"What?" Cheng Chuliang was immediately dumbfounded, he didn't expect Li Zhen to play such a move.

"Your Highness, you are playing tricks." Pei Xingjian couldn't stand it anymore, he stood up and accused, "How can you play like this?"

Luo Zhe also asked: "That's right, Your Highness, since you play like this, is there any point in our fishing competition?"

Zhang Jianzhi shook his head and said: "Your Highness, as a superior, one must keep one's word, and one must admit one's defeat. Such a rogue behavior is not what a king would do."

"I'll listen to Your Highness." Yuchi Baoqing still looked foolish, but his statement made Li Zhen regain a little bit of confidence, and at the same time finally understood why Yuchi Jingde was so rampant, yet he was never rejected. Li Shimin was left out in the cold.The reason is very simple, because Yuchi Jingde is certainly arrogant, but this kind of person also admits death, since he recognizes you as the master, he will never give up on you easily.Li Zhen believes that if one day Li Shimin becomes a faint king, causing anger and resentment, everyone including Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin will leave him, and Yuchi Jingde will definitely be the last person standing in front of Li Shimin.

Looking at the three people filled with righteous indignation, Li Zhen pretended to sneer and said, "Hehehe, you still have the nerve to reason with me? But do you know what the premise of reasoning is?"

"To be reasonable is to be reasonable. Is there any premise?" Cheng Chuliang asked back.

"Of course, the premise of reasoning is that both parties are on the same level. Only in this way can we be reasonable. Are you on the same level as me?"

"..." The three of them shook their heads in unison. One was the crown prince, and the others were all subordinates. Of course, the two sides were not at the same level.

"You are His Highness, we are subordinates, of course it is different." Luo Zhe said: "But because of this, you should reason with us even more. Who would be willing to serve an unreasonable lord?"

"That's right." Li Zhen sneered: "If you want to reason, then I will teach you a truth today, and the truth I want to teach you today is-the truth is not controlled by the rational side. , but in the fist."

"Fist?" The three looked at each other, what does this have to do with fists?

"I knew you would be confused." Li Zhen shook his head and said: "You should know that what I believe in most is the law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, and fists are another explanation for the jungle of the jungle - whoever has a big fist will have the right to speak Reason, even if you have no reason, you can use your fist to win back the reason. On the contrary, even if you have reason, but the fist is not big, even if everyone knows that you have reason, no one will give you justice. "

Pei Xingjian felt that Li Zhen's words were a little too extreme: "Isn't it possible? Then according to your Highness, there is no such thing as fairness in this world?"

"Of course not. The so-called fairness is relative. Only when the two sides are equal can there be fairness. One is a high-ranking official and the other is a commoner. Do you think an official will be fair to a commoner? You high-ranking second-generation ancestors, Will you reason with those civilians? Even if you hurt them, you will lose money at most, right? Are you really going to obey the law and be imprisoned?" Li Zhen poured cold water mercilessly: " This principle also makes sense when it comes to state affairs, my Tang Dynasty is rich all over the world, and I am a country in the sky, but the small countries in Nanyang are still drinking blood, do you think my Tang Dynasty will be fair to these small countries in Nanyang?"

"..."

Chapter 828 Civilization and Barbarism (Two in One)

Chapter 1 Civilization and Barbarism ([-] in [-])

"..." The answer to Li Zhen was the endless silence of the three of them. When Li Zhen said this, they understood, but they still couldn't accept it deep in their hearts. Therefore, facing Li Zhen, they could only respond in silence.

Li Zhen pursued the victory and continued to pour cold water: "Let me tell you a story. One day, the little white rabbit was walking in the forest and met the big bad wolf. The big bad wolf grabbed the little white rabbit without saying a word and beat it. The little white rabbit asked "Why did you hit me?", the big bad wolf said while beating, "I told you not to wear a hat, I told you not to wear a hat".

The next day, the little white rabbit was walking in the forest wearing a hat, and met the big bad wolf. The big bad wolf grabbed the little white rabbit and beat him without saying a word. I? ', the big bad wolf said while beating, 'I told you to wear a hat, I told you to wear a hat'... The big bad wolf scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and walked around in place, grabbed the little white rabbit and said, 'I told you not to wear a hat, I told you not to wear a hat...'

You say, is the big bad wolf wrong?Or is Tiger wrong?

No one is wrong, the fault is actually the little white rabbit, because he didn't understand the situation, the big bad wolf's fist is hard, so the tiger is with him, but he, a weak person, tried to seek justice from the tiger, but he forgot the tiger Both wolves and wolves are predators in the jungle, they are the same.

I can't see the situation clearly, do you think he deserved the beating? "

"Wake up, the little white rabbit will always have to run for his life when he sees the big bad wolf. All the rabbits who try to reason with the big bad wolf have already fallen into the big bad wolf's stomach."

Li Zhen's mouth still didn't stop: "So, there has never been any fairness in this world. You have lived in the family of officials since childhood, and the resources you enjoy will always be higher than those of ordinary people. From the starting line, ordinary children will be far surpassed by you. A person, if they want to surpass you, they can only put in a hundred times more hard work and sweat than you, and these sweats may not be able to reap the results... On the contrary, you, as long as you work a little harder, you can achieve them It’s not a problem to be a petty official if you’re under the influence of others, if you don’t get the results you can’t get in a lifetime, tell yourself, is this really fair?”

"..." There was still endless silence in response to him. Although Li Zhen's words were harsh and blunt, they were telling the truth. After they were nobles, they were born to enjoy more resources and contacts than others, as long as they were not themselves. If you die, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

With a little effort, a little credit, and a little more work, it is almost certain to be promoted and get rich, and maybe even be knighted.It is basically impossible to put these things on those civilians. Their status and titles are all spelled out from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood-they know this well, because their parents came here like this, and it is precisely because Their parents worked so hard, so they can enjoy the superior resources.

"Is it right for you to waste so much time and waste the advantages that God gave you? You can waste the resources of your parents like this, but resources are limited. After your children and grandchildren, who should be wasted?" Resources? Think about it yourself." Li Zhen waved his hand, and while everyone was deep in thought, he walked slowly into the kitchen with his bucket of fish (including Cheng Chuliang's), and finally limped them off. ——Oh, I wasted so much saliva on this flick, I'm really a little hungry, just let the cook process these fish and enjoy it.

"Hey, that's not right, isn't it about the fish? Why was he kidnapped into fairness and reason?"

Li Zhen was drinking wine and eating tuna sashimi in the house, and Cheng Chuliang outside finally came to his senses: "Your Highness is too good at talking, isn't he? He robbed me by himself and even lectured us." After a call, why did he tell me these things? Didn’t I work hard? Or maybe I’m just a second-generation ancestor who just eats and waits to die?”

"Your Highness' ability to change the subject is too powerful." Luo Zhe said with a wry smile, "I think I, Luo Zhe, can be regarded as an elite of a generation, but His Highness has unknowingly led him into a ditch."

"Sick to death, you were the one who followed His Highness's words first." Zhang Jianzhi said helplessly, "If you didn't take the initiative to ask, Your Highness would have diverted the topic?"

"That can't be my fault..." Cheng Chuliang wanted to defend himself.

Just as everyone was passing the buck to each other, Yuchi Baoqing came out with his mouth full: "Your Highness said, if you don't come here again, he will eat up all the food."

"What? Already eaten?" Cheng Chuliang was taken aback, and regardless of arguing with the others, he yelled, "Wait, save some for me."

"My tuna, don't finish it for me, I want to eat tuna." Tuna is Luo Zhe's favorite, and since he tasted this delicacy last time, he understands why the ancients compared fried and hot. As long as it is delicious, it is delicious no matter how it is made.

"My teppanyaki squid." Pei Xingjian also hurriedly followed.

"Octopus balls." This is Zhang Jianzhi.

"Oh, this tuna is so delicious, I can't get enough of it in my whole life." Holding his bulging stomach, Luo Zhe lay on the ground without image and panted heavily, living up to his previous aloofness image.

"You'd better eat less of this sashimi." Seeing that he was so forgetful, Pei Xingjian couldn't help but hit him: "I know that Chen Deng at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty died because of eating too much of this. Your family has three generations. You are not married yet, so don't be surprised."

"Fuck you, you crow mouth." Luo Zhe threw the chopsticks over in displeasure: "Are you just expecting me to die that much?"

"Hey, haul can't say that, what Shou Yue (Pei Xingjian's words) said still makes sense." Li Zhen hurriedly persuaded: "But you don't have to worry, as long as you don't eat sashimi as a meal, you can occasionally eat a little to change the taste It's still fine."

"Besides, this tuna sashimi is really delicious." Li Zhen sighed: "It's a pity that this is just the most common bonito. It would be great if I can eat bluefin tuna sometime."

"Your Highness, please be content." Cheng Chuliang said helplessly, "I really want to catch bluefin tuna, but with such a big fish, I think it's better to say that it's catching me than mine. You can drag me down, do you believe it?"

"Anyway, I really want to eat bluefin tuna." Li Zhen said, "I'm so big, I haven't eaten bluefin tuna yet."

What Cheng Chuliang caught was only the most common type of tuna, bonito. Although bonito is also a type of tuna, it should be a fake tuna, but it is a bit similar to tuna in appearance, but it is not real tuna.

Among the real tuna, bluefin tuna is recognized as the most expensive and the most expensive.It's just that Li Zhen has been in Lingnan for more than a year, and he has eaten tuna, even yellowfin tuna, but he has never seen bluefin tuna.

Li Zhen even wondered if bluefin tuna had not yet evolved in this era, or that the number of bluefin tuna was too small?Extinct species caught by fishermen?

Ordinarily, it shouldn’t be. If tuna are caught and become endangered now, can they still live for 1000 years?

Besides, people did not have the habit of over-hunting at this time, or the Chinese people have not had the habit of over-hunting since ancient times. Both hunters and fishermen have their own set of rules. Otherwise, if it is really unrestrained over-hunting , with the ability of my nationals in the foodie empire, crayfish are all eaten by us and can only be supplied by farming. What other animals and plants can live to 1000 years later?

On the contrary, the Europeans who have always regarded themselves as civilized are actually the real barbarians. The great auk was once known as the big arctic penguin, but in the end it was killed by Nordic hunters. Passenger pigeons live so well in North America, but in Europe Before humans came, there were as many as 50 billion passenger pigeons living in the United States. When they flew in groups, the largest group of birds covered an area of ​​16 kilometers. Pigeons block out the sun for hours.Such a huge population was killed by the Europeans who came ashore in just over 200 years.

Aurora, Elephant Bird, Dodo, Sea Cow, Great Auk, Moa, North African Elephant, Cape Lion, Atlas Brown Bear, Antarctic Wolf, Sea Mink, Florida Black Wolf, Newfoundland White Wolf, Laughing Owls, California golden bears, Caucasus bison, eastern pumas, Bali tigers, etc., all died at the hands of Europeans.
