Hu Qihen told Jing Fantian about the rules: "I know you young people are not interested in red tape, but one day you will know the importance of rules to society."

"You hate rules, but you can't live without them. Even if you make rules, you have to uphold them."

"Rules are something illusory but do exist. They have been passed down for thousands of years not because they are easy to use, but because they are in line with people's hearts. In other words, rules exist because of people and must serve people."

"In the past, courts were not called courts, they were called government offices. At that time, lawsuits were fought in the yamen, and the decisions were made by the officials."

"The times have developed, and the officials have all changed into suits. They are so smiling that they dare not say anything to the people on the left or the right."

"This is a good change. It means that young people have eliminated some unsightly rules and replaced them with more convenient and convincing rules."

Hu Qihen kept talking. Jing Fantian thought it was life experience, so he took out his notebook - "My Struggle" and wrote down Hu Qihen's life experience.

Hutao listened carefully.

Hu Qihen looked at the boy and girl and smiled, feeling warm in his heart. The presence of his granddaughter and grandson-in-law subconsciously made the old man feel the happiness of his family.

He would accept it if Jing Fantian did less stupid things. After all, no one knows how to cherish walnuts better than him.

Listening carefully now and taking notes can help!

Prince Yan's education is not good. This guy likes women and his precious granddaughter, so let's choke his neck in this aspect and make him mature.

To train the dragon, you still have to look to me, Mr. Hu Qi!

Hu Qihen took a sip of the old banzhang and continued: "Don't think that with the development of the times, many bad habits and rules no longer exist. I tell you, they are still there, and they will appear in newspapers regularly. Amidst the talk in the street teahouses, Xiao Qihen In the gossip of the aunt at the entrance of the lane."

"For example, we at the Gossang Hall will offer some mooncakes stuffed with lentils to the people above to give them some benefits and let the people in the General Affairs Department know our filial piety."

"Of course you don't have to give it, but this is an extremely naive expression. Shengshengtang is a time-honored brand that has been passed down for 77 generations, so it won't be that naive."

"This has been true from generation to generation, fighting with heaven and earth, but not daring to fight with officials."

"Although it is very realistic, it is very reasonable. As long as people manage people, there will be officials protecting each other, corruption and perversion of the law, because this is the human heart, and the human heart is the general trend. No one can disobey the human heart?"

"How can there be any dirt-free place in this world? If you want to find peace in the world, just wait for those robots to manage the government!"

Hu Qihen paused and continued: "Hutao, do you hate us offering mooncakes to the General Affairs Department?"

The mooncakes here are not the kind of mooncakes used for Mid-Autumn Festival reunions, but a kind of benefit transfer and a kind of bribery.

Hutao replied: "Of course I hate it, we pay taxes reasonably."

Hu Qihen smiled: "Paying taxes is a rule, not paying taxes is breaking the rules. In the same way, it is also a rule between us and the General Affairs Department that we secretly offer the lentil filling mooncakes."

"We have an extra rule with the General Affairs Department, so those colleagues who don't have this rule will be shorter than us."

Jing Fantian retorted: "Isn't this a bribe? If you are caught, you will be in bad luck."

Hu Qihen smiled: "Real hunters often appear in the form of prey. Mooncakes filled with lentils are not bribes if they are not exposed to the sun."

"Bribery is a superb skill. It requires not only choosing the right official who will not fail, but also making the official feel at ease so that we will not be targeted by the court."

"Moreover, our bribe is just a small discount in the store. It does not constitute a bribery relationship. We just ask the General Affairs Department to take more care of it."

Jing Fantian nodded: "I understand, you will give a 20% discount to the people in the General Affairs Department at the Rebirth Hall. Buy one and get one free. The more you buy, the more you get."

"..."

Hu Qihen fell silent.

Hutao looked at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, is this what your lentil filling mooncakes mean?"

Hu Qihen smiled awkwardly: "How can we in this world reassure the official, satisfy him, and prevent us from being accused of bribing high-ranking officials in the Rebirth Hall? We can only give some discounts in business! "

"For those little clerks, it's buy one get one free, 20% off. For big shots like Liyue Qixing, the master of the Palace of the Past will personally organize the funeral to ensure that the living and the dead are both satisfied."

"The most important thing is, it's free. Now the living person will be more satisfied."

Jing Fantian was speechless for a moment. When he saw Hu Qihen talking about how long the night was and how dark it was, the wind and rain were like darkness, he thought that the bribes from the Palace of Purity were really mooncakes stuffed with lentils and shiny mola.

It turns out it’s a discount on funeral services at the Funeral Hall!

Jing Fantian shook his head and said to Hu Qihen: "Wasting my notes, you can't choose something darker to expose. My book "My Struggle" is going to be published."

Hu Qihen smiled awkwardly: "The discounts offered by our Rebirth Hall indeed include the tears of customers, but don't underestimate these rules. The people in the General Affairs Department can refuse them, but we cannot refuse to give them."

"The Hall of Rebirth is responsible for the funeral offerings, and the Liulic Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion are responsible for taking care of the wine and meat."

"As for Mingxingzhai, everyone will make some offerings to the General Affairs Department. This is a strict rule."

Hu Qihen changed the topic and talked about his own theme: "Hutao, Brahma! Many rules are legalistic, such as respect for ancestors."

"We Liyue people respect heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, and ancestors. They are all protecting us."

Jing Fantian touched his head: "But I am equal to the gods, they can't protect me?"

Hu Qihen gave an example: "Why can't I protect you? Your father is protecting you! Your mother is also protecting you."

Jing Fantian looked at him: "I understand, I want to build a temple for my father and mother."

Hu Qihen nodded: "That's okay. The incense of the gods is different from that of mortals. They can enjoy the incense while they are alive. As the Dragon King of the Rock Abyss, you must also build your own temple and offer incense to them. This is Etiquette.”

Jing Fantian nodded. Ancient dynasties had a tradition of worshiping their ancestors. If there were no ancestor tablets to enshrine, people would look down upon them.

Hu Qihen taught many of his life experiences, and Jing Fantian wrote them down in a notebook, thoroughly understanding human rules so that he could use these rules to play with people's hearts in the future.

Hu Qihen saw Jing Fantian's upright attitude and smiled: "Have you learned it?"

Jing Fantian nodded: "I learned it. You Liyue people have so many rules! I think this is a way of being far ahead, constantly urging future generations to learn the rules and become the defenders of the unspoken rules from generation to generation. .”

Hu Qihen smiled: "There is nothing to be proud of, it is just to comply with people's hearts. When you become an emperor in the future, you will only have to comply with people's hearts."
