Chapter 82

"Cats hunt mice, dogs guard gates. People without a job are not as good as cats and dogs..."

When the sound of reading aloud comes from far and near, it is quite puzzling. It is not just that the sound is immature, but the content of the reading.

The sound of this calligraphy is neither a sentence in the Analects of Confucius nor the meaning of a word learned from the Ming Dynasty. But it is the most simple and constant principle of the world. Everyone has his or her own business.

Following the sound, a row of red brick houses gradually came into view. The sound came from the brick houses. As we got closer, it became clearer that it was the sound of children reading.

Ge Shizhen wondered: What kind of place is this?

"Ren Shang, look at the bricks here, they all seem to be red bricks."

All bricks in the north and south of the Yangtze River are made of green bricks. When he first saw so many red brick houses, Chen Zhihuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

However, when he saw the red brick house, he knew he was in the right place.

According to previous passers-by, as long as you see the red brick house, you have arrived at the royal tomb.

Listening to the sound of reading coming from the classroom, but now the sound of children reading made both of them a little confused.

They walked over cautiously, but saw a letter written in big letters beside the front door of the red brick house: "Jinan Nursing Home". They were still a little confused. They saw a tea stall on the roadside near the nursing home, so the two of them walked over and asked for it.

A pot of tea, and then asked.

"This old man, where is this nursing home?"

"Nature is a place for good deeds,"

The old man said while wiping the table.

"What you two young masters don't know is that at the beginning of the year, they were slaves and invaded. Almost all the people in hundreds of miles around Jinan were killed, and countless children became orphans. The prince saw how pitiful they were, so he set up this nursing home.

Those poor children have a place to go, so that they will not be sold into slavery, and secondly, they can be literate, learn a trade, and make a good living in the future..."

Now Ge Shizhen seemed to understand why there was such a sound of reading.

"Could it be that the teachings are so straightforward? Think about it, it's just to make them literate and know etiquette..."

Ge Shizhen said to himself.

In fact, Zhu Guoqiang himself never thought that the teaching materials he worked so hard to obtain would bring another benefit - misunderstandings from outsiders. If famous teachers were hired to teach knowledge in this nursing home, it is estimated that someone would immediately impeach him for having "unfair knowledge".

After all, if the vassal clan established an "academy" to teach thousands of disciples, they would definitely be able to move closer to someone with ulterior motives, but those imperial envoys never thought that Zhu Guoqiang had never set his sights on a famous teacher...

Even the textbooks were "teaching wall charts" printed based on textbooks from another world. Ever since he brought more than 3,000 war orphans to the royal tomb, he had been thinking about how to educate these children, even though he wanted to directly

Bringing over textbooks from another world can save a lot of time. However, for various reasons, he did not choose those who chatter endlessly and tell you earnestly that you should do this, should do that, and how to establish correct and lofty thoughts. Instead, he chose

The so-called "simple and superficial" old textbooks from before liberation were used. Most of the editors of those old textbooks were well-known scholars at the time. Although the textbooks they wrote were different, they had nothing to do with kings, warlords and dignitaries. They revealed the warmth and warmth on the skin of the people.

No slogans, no condescension, no red tape. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trust, sentiment, the source of family and country, the distance of country, and eternal meaning are mostly in plain and clear stories.

It was such simple words that fell into the ears of the imperial envoy, but the other party could not find fault. After all, those high-ranking scholar elites, who would care about these orphans learning common words and sayings? Even if

They learned literacy and arithmetic, not for the sake of scientific advancement, but just for daily application.

In this way, even if you are trying to pick stones from an egg, you will not be able to pick out any stones. Especially after learning that the teachers in the "nurturing home" are actually a group of lonely women, even the imperial envoy is not willing to end up in a "harsh" place.

As a result, this nursing home not only brought no trouble to Zhu Guoqiang, but also naturally became his "virtue and kindness".

"Cats hunt mice, dogs guard gates, and each performs his or her duties. People who have no occupation are not as good as cats and dogs..."

Taking a sip of tea, Chen Zhihuan tasted these eighteen words in his heart, and then sighed.

"People should not be without a job, nor should they wander around in their professions. Dogs hunt rats and meddle in other people's business; cats guard the door and are useless. There are three hundred and sixty professions in the world, but there is probably only one profession that makes people happy: one that you love and make a living at the same time.

If everyone performs his duties, he can do his best; although it may seem superficial, there are worldly principles behind it. Cats and dogs don’t understand it, but they can practice it personally...it’s so good.”

While admiring him, Chen Zhihuan became more and more curious about the prince he had never met before. He was even curious about the red brick.

"Old man, why are the bricks here all red bricks?"

After getting used to green bricks, I am a little curious about red bricks.

"Young Master's accent sounds like he's from the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know. Talking about the origin of this red brick is enough to last an entire night. Do you know what our Ming Dynasty is like?"

Do you even need to ask? Of course it’s Fire Virtue!

Before Chen Zhihuan could speak, the old man at the tea stall pointed at the red brick and said.

"Look at this red brick, isn't it just in compliance with the virtue of fire..."

Well!

Is there any other saying like this in Brick?

When Ge Shizhen and Chen Zhihuan were surprised, they heard the person next to them say.

"Oh, Father Xu, please stop showing off. What is hot or not, moral or not? The two young masters don't know something. Back then, the Crown Prince wanted to build the wall of the royal mausoleum. Building the mausoleum wall requires bricks, but...

The brick kiln is collapsing and no bricks are coming, what do you think is going on?"

Although when they were in Qingjiang, they had heard about the battle between True Lord Huode and Taishang Laojun, the story had long since changed after being spread thousands of miles away. Naturally, they wanted to hear what the locals had to say.

"what happened?"

"What else could be going on? Did Taishang Laojun suffer a loss in Jinan City and deliberately went there with the prince? The brick kiln collapsed as soon as it was burned. The prince counted with his fingers and figured out that it was Taishang Laojun who caused the trouble, so he

When we arrived at the kiln, we had a fight with Taishang Laojun. You don’t know that during the fight that day, there was lightning and thunder in the kiln. The sky was dark for dozens of miles in the square garden. Not only was there a strong wind, but there was also hail.

In this way, the prince and the Supreme Lord fought for several hours, guess what happened next?"

Although the person who spoke had no talent for storytelling, he spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Later, when the brick kiln was opened, all the bricks turned into red bricks. After that, all the bricks fired in the brick kilns in Jinan were all red. Do you think why they are so red?"

"Why is this?"

Ge Shizhen said in surprise.
