Chapter Twelve The Rising Waves
Tian Yin has changed. Whether it is because of Xiao Zhi or not, it is different from before. Yun Chang deeply understands this. Although Tian Yin has never won since that day, Yun Chang can clearly feel that fighting is more difficult every time. It is not that Tian Yin's martial arts have improved rapidly in such a short time, but Tian Yin's fighting spirit and concentration are increasing day by day.
The direct consequence of this change is that it is becoming increasingly difficult for Yun Chang to knock Tianyin out easily, so occasionally, Tianyin can fall asleep naturally. Tianyin likes to dream very much, whether it is day or night, because in dreams, he can do whatever he wants; in dreams, he can see anyone he wants; in dreams, there will always be beautiful scenery, a comfortable mood, and a sense of happiness that is vague. Another thing is that when the dreams of night wake up, a new day will come. A new day is always worth looking forward to, but will what will happen on this day be what Tianyin hopes for?
After breakfast, when going to the study room to study, it is always a luxury and rare thing that Tian Yin feels. In Yun Mansion, this is indeed a natural life. When you push the door open, the fragrance of books and the fragrance of ink will always make Tian Yin feel relaxed and happy. It’s just a familiar back in front of you, which seems a bit abrupt in the house filled with books.
"Have you read a lot of books during this period?" The visitor was Yun Buji. He has been ignoring himself these days, and has to do whatever he wants here. Today he actually came to find himself. Tian Yin suddenly felt something was wrong. Yun Buji was here to examine his experience in studying during this period, right?
Heaven moves in a normal way. In other words, it is often afraid of anything that comes. Heaven always doesn't meet people's wishes. Yun Buji turned around and looked at Tian Yin, who was still at the door, and slowly said: "If you have time today, what's the matter? Good grandson, you won't forget what I said before, right?"
Tian Yin knew that he could not escape this time, so he could only sit down with his teeth and wait for Yun Buji to draw the questions. He felt that his back was sweating continuously. During this period, Tian Yin did read a lot of books, and he had to say that his knowledge was broad, but it was often difficult to specialize in too broad. In short, Tian Yin's heart was far more mud than wisdom, so he did not dare to look for Yun Buji, because he was afraid of being timid, and even more afraid that this "grandfather" who suddenly appeared was disappointed with him.
"Ho, have you read some books these days?" Yun Buji picked up a book from the "Shushan" piled up on several tables. He didn't care about the embarrassing Tian Yin blushed and wanted to burn red charcoal. He scattered the title page of the book and continued, "Salt and Iron Theory, is not bad, where did you see it?"
"The chapter on "Saving Kui" is about the time of literary and cultural relics and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. Ministers still compete for justice. Since then, they have been willing to indulge in desires, and rarely dare to speak out in a straightforward manner and stabbing them in a positive way, and are favored by personal gain... The shamefulness is too late to compete for profit, so the good land is wide and the houses are everywhere, and the people have no place to do it. Those who are not ashamed to make profits are all over the market, and those who are listed in the fields and animals are over the counties and states, and the roads are not open to the side of my eldest brother's house. This is difficult to treat and cannot be used as a laborer."
Upon hearing this, Yun Buji nodded with satisfaction, obviously appreciating Tian Yin's ability to memorize, "What does this passage mean?"
"In short, most officials are shameless and shameless, and those who forget their righteousness when they see profits, but the people have no support and the people are living in poverty." The more Tian Yin said, the more he spoke, he became more and more angry, and he gradually became a little angry. "The article "The Wise and Good" says, 'Now the officials are mixed and do not choose, the rich use wealth to buy officials, and the brave use death to shoot the master'. In other words, they ignore the selection and assessment of the moral character of officials. This is undoubtedly 'give a sharp sword to give him a sword to kill and to dedicate the lives of all people'!"
"Well, how to change it?" Yun Buji did not react at all. Perhaps he had seen the ups and downs of officialdom for many years, so he would not be as indignant and excited as Tian Yin.
"I think reform should be started with the method of selecting officials." Tian Yin thought for a long time and continued: "This way you can cure the root cause!"
Yun Buji looked at Tian Yin very seriously, smiled softly, and said, "Who chose the official?"
As soon as he reached the point, Tian Yin lost his words. He originally thought that he was thinking about the fundamental way, but Yun Buji's problem hit the nail on the head. Since the official was selected by the official, there was no reason not to protect each other. If the person who chose the official was not virtuous, most of the person who was selected would be treacherous people, right?
"If the people choose officials, maybe there may be some improvement?" Tian Yin asked tentatively.
"How do people choose officials? Let me ask you, have you ever empathized with the harm of officials? Or have you experienced it personally?" Hearing this, Tian Yin thought for a while and shook his head. Since he could remember, he has not encountered any unkind officials and harming the people.
"That's it. If you are asked to choose an official, how do you choose it? Moreover, since local officials have never been harmful to you, why do you choose it?" Yun Buji kept asking. This should be one of his characteristics. There was never a direct answer, but only one link after another. "Can the "Salt and Iron Theory" solve the disaster of the administration that has become a chronic disease for thousands of years based on the basis of "Can the "Salt and Iron Theory" solve the disaster of the administration that has become a chronic disease for thousands of years?"
Indeed, "Salt and Iron Theory" is not a monograph on official governance. Using this as a basis to talk about how to rectify and reform, it is indeed a bit inconsistent. However, from Yun Buji's words, Tian Yin still got some inspiration, "As far as I know, the officials of Cangzhou have not been doing evil in the fish and meat villages like other places in recent years. Is it because Cangzhou is the only way to do evil? Is it because Cangzhou's administrative law has risen uniquely?"
"Hahahahahaha! This is what you should ask. A truly smart person does not mean giving the right answer, but asking the right questions! Hahahahahaha!" Yun Buji was in a good mood. After all, it was a gratifying thing for his good grandson to be a smart person. "So, in your opinion, how are the officials in Cangzhou different from others?"
Perhaps Tian Yin was too young, and he really didn't see any difference. Moreover, with his knowledge, he had never met a very good official or a very poor official. Everything just maintained a delicate balance. In this balance, the people of Cangzhou can be said to be the happiest in Daxing.
"Since it's not a different thing, why are the results very different?"
"Why?" Tian Yin couldn't help but blurt out this stupid question. Obviously, Yun Buzi would not give him a direct answer. Yun Buzi gently put down the "Salt and Iron Theory" and left with his hands behind his back, leaving only one sentence: "Look at more Taoist classics, maybe you will have some experience!"
From Yun Buji's voice, I could not tell whether he was disappointed or satisfied with him. It was strange that although Tian Yin did not want to admit that he was incompetent in his heart, the strange old man was his grandfather occasionally. However, the long-lasting lonely coldness made him enjoy this warm family affection. Therefore, he did not want to make Yun Buji unhappy because of himself.
Perhaps only he knew Yun Buji's mood at this time. What Tian Yin knew was that his mood was very complicated, some were admiring, some were suddenly enlightened, some were unwilling, some were enlightened, some were suddenly enlightened. He suddenly realized that some things were like the moon in the river, and the thousands of rivers had thousands of rivers. The people he met were different, and the results he got were different. Because the governor of Cangzhou was Yun Buji, Cangzhou seemed different. If Yun Buji went to other places, then perhaps the other places were Cangzhou, right?
Tian Yin immediately threw himself into the waves of knowledge. The best way to make himself no longer ignorant is to continue to accumulate and practice. Because Tian Yin focuses on this, Tian Yin did not realize what impact this time of writing, which was not considered to be a comment, would have on him. It was not until fourteen years later that Tian Yin stood at a real height and faced the problems he had thought about at that time, he found that everything was solved!
It seems that time passes very quickly when reading books, and the morning passes in a blink of an eye; no matter whether the afternoon is free from being knocked out, it is evening in a blink of an eye. Of course, when Yun Chang is in a good mood, he will tell Tian Yin in advance what delicious food is there tonight, but in terms of the speed of eating, Tian Yin only knows it.
A happy life always passes quickly, and two months unknowingly flow away with the long river of time. These two months are like two years for Tian Yin. At this time, Tian Yin's huge changes have changed a lot, his body has become much stronger and taller, and his skin has become a little dark. His face, which was no longer immature, was accompanied by a pair of eyes flashing with wise light. Tian Yin is no longer a child, but although he is still young in terms of age, he is truly mature.
Maturity does not depend on the body, but on the heart. The only thing Tianyin has never stopped in the past two months is thinking, thinking about where he will go. Today, there should be a result, so when Yun Chang told the master that he wanted Tianyin to go to the study, Tianyin was just about to go to Yun Buji.
"It's been two months." Yun Buji sighed as if he was feeling, and his eyes looked at Tian Yin were filled with love, "You should tell me something, right?"
Tian Yin hesitated. He didn't know if it was too cruel to tell the old man what he thought at this time, but some words had to be said, "I want to leave!"
Surprisingly, Yun Buji was not surprised. He just heard him say calmly: "Tell Lao Chang what you need, and he will do everything."
Yun Buji was not surprised, so Tian Yin felt it was unexpected. He raised his eyes and looked at Yun Buji carefully and said, "I want to find people in the village, and I want to find Xueer. If possible, I want to go back to Tianmen Pass to see."
"There will be a chance. When will you go? Winter in Cangzhou is not easy. Next spring will warm up, and it is best for surfing the world." Yun Buji once again looked at Tian Yin with his iconic cunning gaze and said, "From north to south, you will get everything you want!"
Xiangnan? Does Yun Buji know about the silver fox looking for a companion? Tian Yin looked at the old man smiling in front of him, and felt that the mystery surrounding Yun Buji was so strong that it was difficult to see through. We must ask everything at any time!
Unfortunately, Yun Buji has this ability and can easily see what Tian Yin is thinking, "One day, I will tell you everything. Now there is only one thing you need to know. My future granddaughter-in-law is already on the road and will be here tomorrow afternoon!"
"Ha?" Although we have been together for two months, Tian Yin still finds it difficult to adapt to Yun Buju's wild thinking.
