Yipin Farmer

Ting Shuang and Bao Qi set off for Queshan, but another unexpected visitor came to their home in Sanhua Village, and it turned out to be Tingzhi's biological mother, Furong.

It's fine for others, Ting Hui's face is as dark as the bottom of a pot, he just wants to beat this woman out with a big stick, but since Ting Zhi is in front of him, he has to bear it again and again, he can't help but run outside the door to catch his breath ,Out of sight out of mind.

Ting Zhi didn't look good either. When the family was in trouble, his mother actually ran away with money. In the past two years, he didn't know where he was fooling around with. Although his brothers treated him very well, when he thought of this, he felt ashamed in front of others. Can't hold my head up.

Furong also cried with snot and tears: "I know you hate me, but I can't do anything about it. My status is difficult at home, and no one will give me good looks. Without the master, how can I stay?" place, can I not find another way to survive?"

For such a mother, Tingzhi had no choice but to hold back her anger and said, "Then you can't just take the money and run away. You know how difficult the family was at the beginning. You just found another way to survive, and it actually made things worse."

Fu Rong cried again: "You think I am willing, but is it easy for me to make a living as a woman? I can't live without money."

Tingzhi was so angry that she really wanted to kick her out, but she was her own mother after all, and she had no choice but to turn around and ignore her, but Furong wiped her tears and came over and sat down. He touched his head beside him: "Hey, my mother has missed you so much these two years, let me see if you have lost weight, are you angry?"

Ting Zhi was so angry that she slapped her hand away: "How can I be angry, if I want to be angry, I will be angry with you."

Fu Rong hurriedly said: "I was wrong, I was wrong, don't be angry, since I left you, my mother has been thinking about it and regretted it, so I came to you again, and my mother wants to make it up to you."

Ting Zhi still turned her back and ignored her.

"I really want to make it up to you. Everyone makes mistakes. At least give me a chance to make up for it?" Fu Rong cried while hugging her son.

Seeing that she knew her mistake and that she was her own mother, Tingzhi cried so sadly, her heart softened gradually, and she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Fu Rong said again: "I really want to make amends. I have a good sister in Luoyang. She works in the home of Shen Zaisi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments. He has a young son who has been weak and sick since he was a child. He wants to find a learned man who is about his age. When the children read together, I think of you."

"There is such a thing?" Tingzhi was surprised.

"Yes. Don't you admire Mr. Shen's knowledge the most? You are also eager to learn from him. Now he is reading with his son. What a great opportunity. If you join the Shen family, you will have a shortcut to get an official position in the future. "

Tingzhi didn't think about Gao Pan hugging Shen's family, but only thought that if Shen Zaisi could get Shen Zaisi's favor and ask him to make the decision, his family's case would be fine. He really wanted to do something for this family, and now this is an opportunity.

"What? Are you going to Shen's house?" Ting Hui was very surprised. There seemed to be nothing wrong with this matter. Even if he couldn't help the family, being a disciple of Shen Zaisi would be of great help to Ting Zhi's knowledge, but, always I feel something is wrong, but I can't tell.

"You can go, but you can only go after the eldest brother comes back and he agrees."

Tingzhi disagreed: "I don't know when my elder brother will come back. What if the governor convicts him and puts him in prison? I can't wait. I have to do something."

Ting Hui had to admit that there was some truth. Although Ting Zhi was young, he was knowledgeable. During the spring drought last year when the two villages were fighting for water, he showed superior vision and wisdom.

Fu Rong also said: "If I am his mother, will I harm him? The Shen family is indeed looking for a companion for the young master, and Zhizhi is just right. If you please the Shen family, your case will be easily resolved, and he can also get it." A good teacher gives advice."

Ting Hui thinks about it too. Furong has always loved her son very much, so it should be nothing, so she agreed.

It is located in Queshan County, south of the Yellow River, named after Queshan. When Geng Xianghua heard that Ting Shuang came to visit him, he was happy to go down the mountain to meet him. Ting Shuang was also very moved when he saw his enthusiasm. It would be unmanly to conceal one's intentions.

After going up the mountain to sit down, Ting Shuang introduced Bao Qi and Geng Xianghua to each other, and mentioned what happened recently.

Geng Xianghua was shocked, he was silent for a while, and said, "I never thought I would get you involved."

Ting Shuang hurriedly said: "Brother Geng, don't say that, you are a hero in the world, how can you be a conspiracy, don't say that I didn't know who you were at the time, even if I knew, I will save you for your chivalry, this matter Someone saw that I was not going well, and took the opportunity to make trouble."

Geng Xianghua sighed: "Yes, it is mediocrity not to be envied by others, but who is willing to be mediocre?"

Ting Shuang was silent. In his previous life, when he was mediocre, he dreamed that one day he would become not mediocre, and enjoyed all the applause, so he had to YY himself in the novel to play with the world and build a harem.In this life, by chance and coincidence, he has achieved some success, at least in the eyes of others, he is no longer mediocre, but he has to face the calculation, jealousy and exclusion that does not know when will be the end.

Mediocre, not reconciled.

Not mediocre, fighting wits with others is too tiring.

Baoqi seemed to know what he was thinking, and reached out to hold his hand to convey warmth.Ask Geng Xianghua: "Brother Geng, have you had contact with people from the Tianli Sect?"

Geng Xianghua hesitated for a while, then said, "Yes."

Ting Shuang felt cold in her heart, she didn't expect that Geng Xianghua was really related to Tianli Sect.But Baoqi raised her eyebrows and said, "Tianli Sect is a rebellious party that the court wants to get rid of. Brother Geng is a hero, how can such a thing be done?"

Geng Xianghua disagreed, saying: "I have my own opinion. The purpose of Tianli Sect is to drive out the Tartars and restore our Han people, which is just righteousness."

Ting Shuang was about to vomit blood, but unexpectedly encountered the most difficult ethnic issue at this juncture, and Bao Qi beside him was just a foreigner in the eyes of some people, the Tartars, who were to be expelled and wiped out.

Before Ting Shuang could react, Bao Qi had already slammed the table and stood up, shouting: "You actually said such outrageous things."

Geng Xianghua also stood up, looking at him coldly: "I told you, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Ting Shuang quickly put out the fire before it started to burn, comforted them to sit down, and said, "Don't say a few words, the weather is so good today, and you are so irritable. This is not good."

After calming down the two fried hair beasts, Ting Shuang said to Geng Xianghua: "So the people of Tianli Sect have approached you and asked you to join their anti-Manchu and Han forces. You have seen them, right?"

"Yes." Geng Xianghua hesitated for a while, and admitted that he did not treat Ting Shuang as an outsider.

Seeing his straightforward admission, Ting Shuang also admired his loyalty, and asked again: "Do you think their teachings have the possibility of success?"

"How can my country, the Han people, be occupied by foreign Tartars forever? When the time comes, the flag of righteousness will be raised high, and the world will surely respond."

"Response? Who will respond?"

"Nature is a man of lofty ideals."

Ting Shuang really wanted to give him some education on the Three Views, enlightening him: "Brother Geng knows that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and only a few people with lofty ideals respond. Without the support of the people, your so-called righteous deeds cannot be accomplished. And you If you want to gain the support of the people, you must know what the people want most.”

Geng Xianghua fell silent. He was also a farmer, and he knew what ordinary people wanted most.

Ting Shuang continued: "What the people want most is nothing more than food and clothing. What they hope most is to live and work in peace and contentment, not to worry about food and clothing, and to live a peaceful life. Now the world has been peaceful for 30 years. The world is peaceful and the people are happy to work. Opening up wasteland to encourage people to get rich, and at this time someone provokes troubles, raises the so-called flag of righteousness, causing chaos in the world and displaced people, will they support it?"

Geng Xianghua still struggled and reluctantly said: "This is where the righteousness lies."

Ting Shuang found it funny: "In the hearts of ordinary people, is righteousness more important, or a stable and peaceful life? When the world is stable and peaceful, no matter who, no matter what name he uses to split and destroy, he is against the sky. , there will be no good results, when the time comes, your brothers will sacrifice in vain, you are their boss, so many people will be buried in your hands, how can you be worthy of them?"

"I do things alone." Geng Xianghua was still stubborn.

Baoqi sneered: "You mean to dismiss your brother, and you follow the Tianli religion to rebel alone? It's ridiculous, what's the use value of a bare rod, what do they want you to do."

Baoqi's venomous tongue came into play again, and Geng Xianghua's face turned purple with anger.

Ting Shuang said again: "Little Treasure speaks a bit harshly, but he is telling the truth, and his honest words are harsh. Brother Geng, please think twice. A man wants to make meritorious deeds in this world, not to be a traitor in troubled times."

Geng Xianghua sighed: "You are right. In fact, I also feel that the world is peaceful and the imperial court is strong. It is difficult to regret it, so I did not agree to them."

Ting Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "But you didn't explicitly refuse, did you? You can't hang here without a clear attitude. Tianli Sect doesn't trust you, and the court regards you as a rebel. This is not acceptable."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Geng Xianghua felt that he wanted to talk about the loyalty of the world, so he didn't agree when the people from the Tianli Sect came to the door, but he didn't break up either. Now that Ting Shuang said this, he felt that such an ambiguous attitude was not good, and the Tianli Sect would still They continued to try to win him over, and the imperial court also regarded him as a thorn in their side. I'm afraid he would have to if he didn't want to.

Ting Shuang gave him an idea: "Has the person from the Tianli Sect left? You should send him to the government. That is to cut off the Tianli Sect's wooing you, and to show the court that you have drawn a clear line with the rebellious party. That's it."

Geng Xianghua was in trouble, it was clearly to show his loyalty with actions, but betraying others was too lacking in loyalty.

Bao Qi nodded in agreement: "This is the truth. Brother Geng is straightforward in doing other things. It's not okay to get attached to such a big deal. It's related to the future and life of your brothers. You don't express your attitude clearly." , when the time comes, it will be too late for the government to treat you as rebels."

Geng Xianghua was a little shaken, and Ting Shuang took the opportunity to persuade him, take this opportunity to cleanse all the brothers on the mountain, and start a serious business. Either join the army to earn military merits, or live a good life, which is better than being regarded as a rebellious party now.

Ting Shuang persuaded him again: "Man, who doesn't want to start a career, even if he can't start a career, he can't let his descendants become black households and can't be a decent person for the rest of his life. Your brothers also have families. If you continue like this , It is impossible for their children and grandchildren to study and make official contributions in an upright manner, and instead of thinking about themselves, they have to think about future generations."

Geng Xianghua finally nodded, arrested several members of the Tianli Sect, and sent them to the Queshan County Government.

The county magistrate of Queshan was very surprised. He was both surprised and happy. There was a group of gangsters in the city. Although they were called righteous bandits, they did nothing bad.Now the boss of the gang has arrested a few people from the Tianli Sect and sent them to the county government. It's also a great achievement. Maybe the big time can get a first class, and this official can also be promoted.

Baoqi is very familiar with the matter of stealing merit in the officialdom, so she directly revealed her identity, implying that he would report the truth to Fengfeng, otherwise... hmph.

Baoqi's status as the head of a province doesn't quite buy it, but it's still useful to bluff a seventh-rank county magistrate. The Queshan county magistrate didn't dare to claim credit, so he had to write a manuscript report truthfully, saying that Ting Shuang went to Queshan to ask Geng Xianghua to confirm There is a matter of Tianlijiao's contact with him, and he has done fruitful ideological work. Geng Xianghua arrested the rebellious party to the county government, completely drew a line with the rebellious party, and was willing to be a good citizen in our dynasty.

Baoqi watched Queshan county magistrate write the manuscript and was quite satisfied, and then she was relieved after watching him send it to the post station.

Now, Ting Shuang can rest assured to get together with Geng Xianghua and the others on the mountain.

Baoqi also breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face, and said: "You look stupid, but you are so talkative. You are a first-rate lobbyist. First, you persuaded the magistrate of Qi County to repair water conservancy projects and asked wealthy households to donate money. Now you are convincing Geng Xianghua is becoming more and more capable.”

"I'm good at it." Ting Shuang raised her tail and said to him again: "Brother Geng is a good person, why persuade him to be good, as if he is so bad, you are not allowed to say that about him."

"Okay, okay, I'm not here to praise you for your ability."

"You don't need to praise me all the time." Ting Shuang said modestly, "Actually, it is not difficult to persuade others. You can see how those debaters in the Warring States period lobbied. There are many tricks and words. In the end, there is only one thing, which is to consider the interests of others."

"Oh, consider other people's interests?" Baoqi was thoughtful.

"Yeah, don't just think about yourself, think about the other person. If you think about it this way, you will know what to do to benefit him. Starting from his interests, you will naturally be able to persuade him and achieve mutual benefit."

Baoqi thinks about the ancient times, Zhu Zhiwu said about Master Qin, and Su Qin said that the six countries all succeeded in lobbying based on the interests of each other?Can't help nodding: "You're right, it's very simple to put it bluntly, it's just that the world is too smart, they only know how to think for themselves, and try to persuade others to benefit for themselves, instead of standing on the other side's side to benefit for the other party."

"My principle is win-win and mutual benefit, which is the biggest win."

Just as Ting Shuang was talking, she saw a group of people carrying some boxes up the mountain, and felt something was wrong. She was afraid that the Queshan Gang would rob the passing merchants again, so she hurried over to have a look.

I couldn't help complaining about Geng Xianghua, saying: "Brother Geng, isn't he planning to lead the brothers to do serious business? Why did you rob again?"
