Li Yi and the others had just returned to the courtyard when Gao Lishi came back with the certificate.
"Li Dongzhu, I brought it for you." Gao Lishi wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Thank you, General Gao." Li Yi didn't bribe anyone, but there were people around. Bribing in front of others?
Gao Lishi didn't care. If he wanted something, he could send someone to Li Family Zhuangzi to get it.
Usually, it was skincare products, perfume, and food. He didn't want a mirror, but he did want a thermos.
"Look, this is a secondary class, second rank military officer. Do you know what position it is?" Li Yi showed off the certificate to Princess Yongmu.
"Amazing! What is it? "Princess Yongmu cooperated. She threw herself into Li Yi's arms and laughed.
"Be serious. It's an official given by the imperial court." Li Yi emphasized the sense of ceremony.
So many people laughed. They couldn't be serious anymore.
"People need to study, take the imperial examination, and then become outstanding.
Rich people don't need to buy good land. There are thousands of millets in books.
Don't need to build a house. There is a house of gold in books.
Don't regret going out alone. There are many carriages and horses in books.
Don't regret marrying a wife without a good matchmaker. There are beautiful women in books.
If a man wants to live his life, he must study the five classics in front of the window. "
Li Yi changed one word. The original was six classics, but he changed it to five classics.
There was a big difference between the six classics and the five classics. There were several different books.
Li Yi didn't care. Whether it was the six classics, the five classics, or the eight classics of the Ming Dynasty, he could answer them all easily.
"Good, good poem to encourage learning!" Li Longji praised first. According to modern poetry, this poem was bullshit.
But the poem was to encourage learning. It used the simplest words to stimulate the surging heart.
When Li Longji heard the content, he knew it was to encourage learning.
Being an official was very realistic. There was no such thing as serving the people in the Tang dynasty. It was all about gaining material gains and spiritual gains.
Why did so many people want to be prime ministers? It could be recorded in the history books.
Seek for the present, but also for the future.
The people of the Tang dynasty believed in this and left something for their descendants.
Take Du Fu for example. He had once submitted a petition to the government, but he thought that he was too young. Then, he submitted a petition to Li Longji, saying that he wanted to be like his predecessors.
The so-called 'like an ancestor' actually meant that he wanted an official position like an ancestor.
He had a kind of lofty and unyielding character. He didn't want to be a lowly official and didn't want to take up the post.
Just like Li Yi, there was a literary revolution in history. In order to raise money for his children's school fees, his father sold old books and put some sand in them to increase their weight.
The child saw it. He did not understand his father's painstaking efforts and the financial pressure of the family. His mind was filled with the word 'loyalty' and so on, so he reported his father.
After that, his father was caught and beaten up many times. He was almost beaten to death. After that, there were repercussions and he passed away after a few years.
The child did not think that he was wrong, even if he could not go to school.
It could be said that he blamed the era. It was all the era's fault.
But in the same era, there were some people who made a fortune and avoided the liquidation.
What did that mean? It meant that they did not learn well from Confucius.
Confucius's way of being a gentleman was actually the way of survival and promotion. If one understood Confucius's way, there would be no problem.
Unfortunately, Confucius's descendants did not understand. They betrayed the country time and time again. In the end, there was one time when they did not play well.
But they still understood the principle of living by branching out. The Kong family's southern branch survived, and the Kong family's northern branch became a tourist destination.
Just like the Zhuge family and the Sima family of the Three Kingdoms.
It seemed to be very useful, but it could not withstand the analysis of later generations.
So …
"Ziyi, if there's anything else the family needs, just say it," Li Yi said to Guo Ziyi.
Guo Ziyi's family was too loyal. Every time he went to carefully analyze the price his family paid in the Tang dynasty, he would cry.
This was the true meaning of the mean. If a country has the Dao, it will not change. If a country has no Dao, it will not change until it dies.
The mean meant that it was useful. Mediocrity was not vulgar.
The mean meant the Dao of Heaven, and the mean was used to describe the country. It proved that the people at that time knew that the country was important.
In the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, after Confucius, they did monstrous evil in the name of Confucius. They used the sage of their ancestors to show the despicable nature of human nature.
Li Yi knew that Guo Ziyi's family was different. His family had done everything they could do and used their lives to explain what loyalty was.
Li Yi admitted that he could not do it, so he admired others.
"No, the children need to learn. Li Dongzhu, can you let my children come over?" Guo Ziyi did not need anything for himself.
He wanted the children of his family to go to the Li Family Zhuangzi. He was also from a big family. There were many children in his family, including some children from other relatives who had not been married for three years.
"They will be sent over after the New Year. Send someone to pick them up. When Wen Tian and I come back, I will personally teach them. Your children should adapt to the collective living environment first."
Li Yi agreed. Only those who planned for future generations could prove their credibility.
For example, many companies were willing to hire people with children. Traditional companies were not like restaurants.
The restaurant had to have young, handsome men and beautiful women to attract customers.
If you said you were married, especially a woman, the restaurant would not want you.
Unless you're cleaning, call the janitor.
Big companies were willing to hire people with children, especially in the administrative departments.
People would only be stable if they had a family. They knew that those who did not have permanent assets would not have perseverance.
The more stable the family was, the more assured they would be to hire such people. The probability of them taking risks was also lower.
Big companies were willing to hire such people, except for the Public Relations Department. That's it.
There was a job in the Public Relations Department that was to appease the customers. Usually, if the customer was a lady, they would send a handsome man over. If the customer was not a lady, they would send a beautiful woman over.
If the customer needed to go on a business trip, the customer would be doing business with a few million RMB.
Then how to coordinate? This … … Haha!
… …
In the blink of an eye, it was Lunar New Year, and the snow had stopped.
The wind was not that strong, and the Governor felt that it was peaceful.
After that, everyone started to make sticky fire spoons, which were rice cakes.
These things were not delicious and had a big impact on the stomach.
The reason why they were making them now was to make it more convenient to eat during the Lunar New Year.
Starting from Lunar New Year, they were preparing for the Lunar New Year.
During the Lunar New Year, they would eat and have no time to cook. They would use the prepared food to fill their stomachs.
To put it bluntly, there were more cold dishes and fewer hot dishes during the Lunar New Year.
There were more hot dishes when there were vegetables in the greenhouse.
During the Lunar New Year in the Tang dynasty, people would eat more staple food. If they could cook cabbage, it would be a good dish.
But now, the people of the Governor's Office were different. They had higher goals.
If they want to eat hotpot, they will eat hotpot during the Lunar New Year. During the Lunar New Year, they must make dumplings.
"Get ready to set off firecrackers. This year, the Li Family Zhuangzi is in charge of the 22 counties in the Governor's Office." Li Yi knew what the people were waiting for.
In the past, they were preparing for the Lunar New Year and did not set off firecrackers.
Now, they did not set off the firecrackers. They were waiting for the Li Family Zhuangzi to set off the fireworks.
The people's thoughts were very simple... They just wanted a lively atmosphere, especially when there was someone leading them.
