To Rule in a Turbulent World

You Miao had no choice but to pick up the book and go home, sat in the study, took a piece of paper, copied a few sentences according to the book, and then annotated a few sentences according to her own understanding. Places, I used to think that I understood when I read books, but between the lines, there are actually many places that I don’t understand.

Let him read, and he can roughly understand the meaning, but when it comes to writing, he scratches his head and doesn't know how to write, so he has to turn to Zhang Wenhan for help.

Zhang Wenhan also thought he understood, but as soon as it was put on paper, he suddenly discovered his own problem. The two talked for half a day, and Zhang Wenhan took the book to ask his teacher in Yangzhou for advice, and told You Miao when he returned.

It took the two of them ten full days to annotate a book.You Miao came to the door with her stack of papers in her arms. Sun Yu was drinking tea and didn't even look at what he wrote. He said, "There is a box on the top of the shelf in the study, go and get it."

You Miao did as he said, and after opening it, he found that it contained the annotations of the great Confucianists of the previous dynasty. In this book, there are comments by Sun Yu.It also exudes the fragrance of ink, which is obviously exactly what Sun Yu understood a book during these ten days.

You Miao was speechless immediately, and couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

"What are you laughing at?" Sun Yu asked.

You Miao smiled and said, "I understand, so I laughed."

Sun Yu groaned and said, "Are you enlightened?"

You Miao nodded sincerely and said, "I understand a little."

Sun Yu: "When you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening. To realize the Tao, this is the Tao."

You Miao: "Yes."

Sun Yu: "Now let's talk about it, what is Tao?"

The old and the young were relatively silent for a moment, You Miao said: "Students... are shallow, and still can't tell."

Sun Yu said with a satisfied smile: "The child can be taught, but the old man can't tell."

You Miao laughed, unspeakably happy, and Sun Yu said, "Mr.'s criticism may not be correct. Look at yourself now. How ridiculous is it that you claim to be able to read a book in three days?"

You Miao: "Yes, yes, students don't know the heights of the sky and the earth."

Sun Yu: "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. From now on, speak less, write more, and become familiar with it. After reading a book, you must know that the book is not yours. When you can teach people to read, the book will be yours." of."

You Miao admired her so much that she no longer dared to pretend to be clever, and began to follow Sun Yu in a proper manner, learning to read again.Sometimes Sun Yu could teach, he would throw the book down, scold some of the sages as bullshit, and laugh out loud when he got lost in reading.

However, You Miao came frequently, and found that although Sun Yu was demoted to Liuzhou, there was an endless stream of people from the house. It seemed that many people expected Sun Yu to make a comeback and become an official in Beijing.And when there were visitors, Sun Yu asked You Miao to stand aside and listen. When talking about the situation of the court and the world, You Miao even discovered that although Sun Yu never left home, he knew everything about the world like the palm of his hand.

After the visitor left, Sun Yu would repeat those words and tell You Miao in detail.

Sometimes Sun Yu gets bored with reading, and he will play chess with You Miao. You Miao is unrivaled in the south of the Yangtze River in making tea, but he only has a glimpse of the way of the game, and he plays bad chess. .

After all, You Miao is a young man, and when he loses, he wants to play again, and he can't help but pull Sun Yu to play, but he is a gentleman, and he can only be scolded.Gradually, visitors came to the door. When playing chess with Sun Yu, You Miao stood on the side serving tea and water, with a long neck to watch.Over time, he also vaguely learned some of Sun Yu's chess skills, but in the end he was defeated.

Later, You Miao accidentally learned from Zhizhou that Sun Yu is actually a national player!No wonder.

After a few heavy rains, the summer was over. He wrote a letter to Zhao Chao, telling him that he understood Yuan, and attached the military situation analyzed by Sun Yu one by one. Apart from taking care of his own fields, he followed Li Zhifeng on weekdays. Practice archery, read and drink tea, and visit Sun Yu's place to study at fixed time.

Sun Yu didn't like to see the Mohism's tricks very much, and called it "uncanny skills and obscenities".

The late rice was harvested in autumn. This time, compared with the early rice, the yield has nearly doubled. The fertilization is sufficient, the plowing is deep, and the sun is good in the second half of the year. Before winter, a full 1000 catties of grain were harvested!Qiao Jue settled the accounts for You Miao, and found that the current money was more than [-] taels of silver.

You Miao took the money and wanted to squander it, but she was a bit reluctant to settle it with Qiao Jue, but Qiao Jue said, "Miaozi, I have an idea, how about we open a rice farm in Yangzhou city?" ?”

You Miao: "Is there so much rice for sale?"

Qiao Jue said: "The land in Yangzhou is now at an easy time to acquire. With just over 800 taels of silver, you can buy four shops facing the street and two houses..."

You Miao: "..."

"800 taels of silver!" You Miao screamed, "You think it's a robbery! No way! I only earned 1000 taels of hard work for a year!"

Qiao Jue said: "This is a matter of money making money. You have bought this property. In the future, you will open a rice shop, an oil shop, a honey shop... and a tea shop. We have already figured it out..."

You Miao thinks so too, selling grain, rice and tea to middlemen, but it also makes a profit, it's better to open a shop and sell it yourself.When I went back that night, I consulted with Li Zhifeng again, but Li Zhifeng just looked at him.

"This is your money." Li Zhifeng said, "You make up your mind."

You Miao said: "Hey, aren't we together? What do you think?"

Li Zhifeng said: "Let's go then, Qiao Jue is a smart person, trusting him won't hurt you."

You Miao can't laugh or cry, others are right to make decisions, but Li Zhifeng is right to people, as long as you recognize the person, no matter what you do is right, but You Miao thought about it carefully, this is the same reason, and finally agreed I gave Qiao Jue 200 taels of silver.

Winter went to spring, this year You Miao didn't go back to Biyu Villa any more, she simply cut off contact there, and in spring, recruited hundreds of tenants in Suzhou, taking out [-]% of Jiangbo Villa's land.

In the second year, You Miao began to try to grow three-season rice, but unfortunately the weather was not as good as people wanted, and the place in the south of the Yangtze River was still not warm enough, so he had to switch back to double-crop rice.At the same time, Qiao Jue's tea mountain was also planted.The tea trees could not produce good tea in the first year, but picking is still necessary, so Qiao Jue hired more than [-] vegetable and tea girls to cross Jiangbei. The woman's slender lips gently took the first young leaf from the tree.Then sieve the tea, fry the tea, ferment and bake it, go through countless processes, toss and turn in the first year, and finally nine catties of tea are produced.

You Miao couldn't laugh or cry at the nine catties of tea, but Qiao Jue smiled and said, "That's right, this is just the first year's harvest, the tea trees haven't bloomed yet, enough is enough."
