Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 332 Govern the country, I will not.

Qin Zhiyong, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanba left Lantian County without haste, and headed towards Jiangdu.

Qin Zhiyong put silver needles on Li Yuanba's body, restraining his strong physique and recovering his mind.This is a palliative, not a permanent cure.In order to fully recover, Li Yuanba also needs to improve his spiritual realm and strengthen his "soul".

Along the way, Qin Zhiyong hypnotized Li Yuanba every night, making him fall into a deep sleep.

After Qin Zhiyong's conditioning, Li Yuanba's "spirit" has increased rapidly, and now he can't tell that he is a mentally handicapped person, and his behavior is no different from that of a normal teenager.

Qin Zhiyong's method shocked Li Shimin into a celestial being.

After eating dry food, filling the stomach, and resting for half a stick of incense.

Sitting beside Qin Zhiyong, Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanba who was playing on the grass not far away, and said, "Mr. Qin, has my fourth brother fully recovered? He is now conscious and sober."

Qin Zhiyong said: "It's still a long time before he fully recovers. Your fourth brother's state of mind must at least reach a 'sedation' before he can control the strength of his muscles and bones. Li Yuanba is the most peculiar and gifted person I have ever seen. If he really I have achieved the unity of body and mind, and can control the strength of the whole body. I am looking forward to how strong it will be. I think you are also looking forward to it, Second Young Master. Maybe, your Li family will have an extra great master."

Li Shimin was startled, and said, "Mr. Qin is saying that my fourth brother will be a grand master in the future?"

Qin Zhiyong smiled slightly and said: "Who knows what will happen in the future. In fact, as long as you find the most suitable way of cultivation and improve steadily, everyone can become a great master. However, most people are muddle-headed and have no idea at all. Without ambition, it is difficult to reach the innate realm. Even if you are very talented, you still need to be taught by a master, otherwise, no matter how high your talent is, it will be buried."

Grandmaster, to Qin Zhiyong, there is no secret anymore.

Even if it is a person who has no foundation in cultivation, Qin Zhiyong can forcibly raise him to the level of a great master after spending a few years on training.

It's just that doing that is tantamount to pulling out seedlings and growing "flowers" in a greenhouse, which is still a little bit behind compared to a real strong person who has cultivated to the level of a great master by himself.Just like industrial products on the assembly line, there is always a little difference from pure handmade products made by masters.

Not to mention the cultivation of talents.

Cultivating talents and standardization are essential, but humanities and feelings are also essential.The combination of the two to achieve a perfect balance is the most ideal.When Qin Zhiyong gave lectures, he taught all the students the same knowledge, because knowledge is the truth, and it will not be changed by personal will.At the same time, Qin Zhiyong also needs to teach students in accordance with their aptitude.That's the reason.

Along the way, Li Shimin has seen too many starving people.

The Guanzhong area is the area ruled by the Li family, and the situation is not bad. After leaving Guanzhong, the people are simply struggling to survive.

Li Shimin said: "Mr. Qin, you are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I don't know if you can teach the world's militia and the art of governing the country?"

Qin Zhiyong said: "The second son joined the army as a young man and has read a lot of military books. General Li Jing is an expert in the art of war. You can communicate with each other in the future. As for governing the country... A certain scholar from Qin knows how to fight and has never governed a country. What should I do?" Governing the country? In fact, Qin doesn’t know either.”

Governing the country is, to some extent, more difficult than doing scientific research.

Science is like numbers, one is one, it will not become two, matter and energy are conserved, as long as a certain law is discovered, the law can be applied.

Unlike the human heart, it changes every moment.

As his state of mind became more and more advanced and he studied psychology more deeply, Qin Zhiyong had gradually realized the difficulty of "governing the country".

If it was in the past, someone asked Qin Zhiyong how to govern the country, Qin Zhiyong might have talked about it.But he dare not now.

"Tao Te Ching" records: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish."

It can be seen that even a sage must be cautious when it comes to governing the country, and be more cautious.

No matter how powerful Qin Zhiyong is, his spiritual realm has not reached the realm of a sage.

Qin Zhiyong said: "The time for half a stick of incense is over, have you rested? Let's go, let's continue on our way."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I've rested already. By the way, Mr. Qin, Shimin has a doubt."

Qin Zhiyong said: "Second Young Master, please tell me."

Li Shimin said: "Mr. Qin is not an official of the court and has never met Yang Guang. Why did he decide to mourn Yang Guang?"

Qin Zhiyong was silent for a while, and said: "During Yang Guang's reign, I will not comment on his merits and demerits, but no matter what, he is the emperor of our China. Qin has some reputation, and is recognized by everyone as a great master. I should go and offer my condolences."

Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo three times and dug the Grand Canal, and his achievements can be regarded as beneficial for thousands of years.

Based on these two items alone, Qin Zhiyong will go to Jiangdu to attend Yang Guang's funeral.

…………

Xu Ziling led more than 500 people to the border between Da Sui and Goguryeo.

A tall, bald man said, "Mr. Xu, are we at the end of the land?"

Xu Ziling said: "Here we are. You wait here. I will cross the border and meet the people from Goguryeo."

The bald man nodded and said, "Don't worry Mr. Xu, since we have followed you here, we will never run away again."

Without manpower, Xu Ziling would of course find a way by himself.He went to a cottage alone and subdued the robbers in the cottage.

The robbers claimed to be heroes of the forest, but they were actually mobs.

Fighting, the robbers certainly can't.But escorting the goods, these strong robbers are still competent.

Xu Ziling performed lightness kung fu and entered the territory of Goguryeo.

Less than half a mile away, we saw the pass.

Holding a long sword in his hand, Xu Ziling stood under the city wall.

Fu Junmao stood on the pass and said to a person behind him, "Open the pass gate and let him in."

Xu Ziling entered the pass, saw Fu Junmao, and said, "Mother..."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Fu Junmai's face, and she said, "Zi Ling, you have grown taller again. From now on, don't call me mother again. You are already a disciple of the Grand Master, so you can't be so casual anymore."

Xu Ziling called Fu Jun "mother" in front of the Goguryeo officials in the pass, which made her very embarrassed.Xu Ziling also knew that his current status was no longer the little beggar he used to be, and he needed to pay attention to words when speaking.

Xu Ziling said: "Has the fact that I worship Mr. Qin as my teacher already spread to Goguryeo?"

Fu Junmao said: "Qin Zhiyong accepted you and Wang Yuyan as disciples with such great fanfare, Goguryeo and Turks knew about it. I didn't expect Qin Zhiyong to let you escort the goods in Ziling. It seems that Qin Zhiyong attaches great importance to you."

Xu Ziling said: "Mr. created a 'Ping An Company' and intends to do business. I am now the shopkeeper of the company. From now on, I will be in charge of the business of the company."

Fu Junmai cursed inwardly, Qin Zhiyong used Goguryeo's wealth to do business, it's really not a thing.

Fu Junmao said: "Zi Ling, I've asked someone to arrange meals, you can leave after filling your stomach."

Xu Ziling said: "There is no rush to eat, let's check the goods first."

Handed over with Fu Junmao and counted the goods.

When Fu Junmao watched Xu Ziling and the others escort the goods away, he immediately felt that Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong had grown up and no longer depended on him.

The relationship between myself and them will never go back to the way it was before.I just hope that the two sides will not become enemies in the future.
