46. If you do your duty, you will not give in (please give me a monthly pass to recommend, collect and read)

46. If you do your duty, you will not give in (please give me a monthly pass to recommend, collect and read)

Listening to Pang Shanmin's words, Huang Yueying also fell silent.

In today's world, people are in dire straits. There are actually many reasons.

The Little Ice Age was the root cause. The aristocratic families and the annexation of land by rich and powerful people were the biggest accomplices. The emperor's lack of justice was the smallest influencing factor in comparison.

Members of the gentry seek power, wealth, and fame, but very few of them truly consider the people.

"Achu doesn't know either. I only know that Achu is willing to be such a benevolent person."

"Achu is a woman!"

"What about women? Yao and Shun stipulated that women should not be benevolent, or Confucius and Mencius stipulated that women should not be benevolent? A Chu also learned the Four Books and Five Classics from elementary school and studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. Why can't he be benevolent?"

"A Chu only does good deeds?"

"Yes, I hope there will be more kind-hearted people in the world, and I hope the great road will be carried out, that's all."

"But today, the princes are divided and the emperor has lost his power. How can he be benevolent?"

"The temple is too high and the court is too far."

"What if one day A Chu has the strength to do good in the world?"

"Be responsible and don't give in to the teacher."

Pang Shanmin closed his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and then put a smile on his face, "I understand, brother, and I also hope that everyone in the world is kind."

At this time, Huang Yueying lowered her eyes. This was probably... another fool like her.

"Brother, do you have any other doubts in your mind?"

"have."

"Excuse me."

"If Achu wants to do his part, what should he do?"

"Brother, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"What's the meaning of truth? What's the meaning of lies?"

"The truth is, if you accumulate food widely, build walls high, and work with people with lofty ideals and like-minded people, you can pacify the world, study things and gain knowledge, so that all people will not be hungry. I am willing to learn from Xibo."

"Where are the lies?"

"It's a lie. If you can only practice kindness within a radius of a hundred miles, you won't be able to do it."

Pang Shanmin then laughed and shook his head, "There are many people who will be deceived by Achu."

"But among these people, there won't be an elder brother." Huang Yueying also laughed, and then said, "Today we know my elder brother's ambition. Is my elder brother willing to go with A Chu?"

"That's right, it's what I wish for."

Then, everyone in the study laughed.

"A Chu asked people to make paper, and now he has sold the agency rights to other states and counties in Jingzhou. Do you have other plans?" Pang Shanmin asked again.

Huang Yueying shook her head, "The art of papermaking and printing is just so that everyone in the world can study as soon as possible."

“When is Achu going to introduce printing?”

"In the coming year, the aristocratic family has accumulated thousands of years of experience, but the agency power is only for one year, and it has not broken any muscles or bones."

"How to do?"

"This year, I have made enough profits from the Chu paper business in Jingzhou. The sale of Chu paper is not only a business, but also a knowledge and so-called elegant matter, because the nobles consider themselves scholars." Huang Yueying.

Explaining, "When they taste the benefits, they will continue to represent Chu Zhi's business in the coming year."

Everyone nodded.

"At this time, if the art of printing is thrown out in the same way, all the families will step up their cooperation and will not let go."

"indeed."

"This is also a business and an elegant thing. There are many people in the world who want to buy books... so this is also a hugely profitable business."

Everyone nodded again.

"And what I want is that the books made from Chu paper can be sold all over the world, so that people all over the world can read and understand, that's all."

"When all races wake up from the huge benefits, it will no longer be up to them to choose whether to choose this benefit or maintain monopoly and inheritance."

Pang Shanmin laughed, "A Chu actually has such a plan... I am amazed by my brother."

"Brother, you don't have to be like this. It's just money that attracts people's hearts."

"But what if the aristocratic families unite to plunder?" Pang Shanmin asked again.

"A Chu also has a sword in his hand." Huang Yueying sighed, "Many times, struggle is unavoidable, just like...there are endless wars nowadays, and many people in power are either for that position or for power...and how many people are...

Do you want to really stop fighting with force?"

"In this case, I am relieved, brother. Just now Achu said that we must study things to gain knowledge and study agriculture so that all people will not be hungry. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true." Huang Yueying nodded, "Brother also knows the great talent of the layman who grows flowers."

"yes."

"He once taught me a way to harvest two crops of winter wheat and summer rice in one year. Now, my brother Huang Shuhu is starting to study the matter and wants to experiment this year."

"Winter wheat and summer rice? But you can grow wheat in winter and rice in summer?"

"yes."

"In this case, will the rice seedlings..."

"When the weather is warm, part of the paddy field is used to raise rice seedlings first. When the wheat is harvested, the fields are plowed and prepared, irrigated with water, and the rice is regularly inserted into the paddy field."

"Achu means... when planting rice, you don't need to spread it with rice?"

"yes."

Pang Shanmin then nodded, "If this method is accomplished, the world will no longer have to worry about hunger."

Thinking of this, he asked again, "Where is the layman now?"

"I don't know, I've been traveling around." Huang Yueying shook her head.

On the side, Huang Chengyan and Cai were stunned. Could it be that...A Chu's skills were really taught by the layman?

Huang Chengyan spent a large part of the year visiting friends, so... he didn't know who Huang Yueying had been in contact with.

And even though Mrs. Cai lives at home, she will not restrain Huang Yueying from going out all the time. Even...since Huang Yueying recovered from the cold, she has not restrained her at all. Could it be...that she was a layman she met after the cold?

The couple looked at each other, each with something in mind.

"This is a blessing for Achu, a blessing for all the people, and a blessing for the great Han people." Pang Shanmin sighed.



That night.

Huang Yueying returned to her room and sighed, she really can't underestimate the world.

Although Pang Shanmin looks honest, he is actually not stupid, it's just that he doesn't want to be careful.

There are very few records of Pang Shanmin in history, but he was a real person who existed in this era.

Today, she has been known as benevolent and has avoided many practical problems. For example... if she can really do benevolence in the world, where will she occupy it? For example, will there still be a Han Dynasty by then?

Thinking of this, she really felt that the name Renshan... was really useful.

No wonder, some people have been using it for a lifetime.

If she really saw this person, she would also want to see if he was real or fake.



In another room, Huang Chengyan and Cai did not fall asleep so early.

"Madam, when did Achu meet the flower-growing layman?"

"I don't know." Ms. Cai shook her head, "Since she recovered from the cold, she has been running out every day."

"Cong'er, can you follow me?"

"Of course, by the way, how about asking Cong'er?" Cai nodded.

"He won't tell." Huang Chengyan shook his head, "I'm afraid the layman has already told me. It's a pity that I can't make friends with such a person."

"yes."



As for Pang Shanmin, he slept soundly after washing up. He had been working hard for several days, and today he was even more busy all day long. He had a rare chance to waste a lot of thought at night. He no longer had much energy.

Zhuge on the side was tossing and turning in the dark, unable to sleep.
