Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 84 Three-year bet

  Fei Qian looked at the confident Guo Jia, and wondered in his heart whether this young man had the ability to be called a ghost like the one described in Romance of the Three Kingdoms...

"Please tell me, what is a king? What is a subject? What is a noble family? What is the head of Guizhou?" Fei Qian asked this question first. It seemed that he was asking for explanations of four nouns, but in fact what Fei Qian wanted to ask was the relationship between these four levels. Relationship, I want to see Guo Jia's understanding of these four classes...

Guo Jia smiled casually, looked around casually, as if looking for something, then took two steps to one side, picked up a yarrow that was accidentally left by someone, pointed to his head and said: "This is for you—"

   Pointing to the hand holding the yarrow, he said, "This is my minister—"

   held up the yarrow and said, "This is the family—"

  Finally, pointing to a line of ants crawling past on the ground, he said, "This is Guishou."

   Fei Qian smiled, heh, this kid, his reaction is really top-notch, and he can use local materials to make comparisons that are quite reasonable, basically in line with the current concept of most people, the key is that the answer is very ingenious——

  Fei Qian asked four scattered questions, but actually asked about the connection between the four, and Guo Jia also answered four questions, but actually used this as a metaphor for the connection between the four...

  The ruler is the mind, who directs the ministers, that is, the hands, and then the ministers choose the family according to the ruler's wishes, that is, the yarrow, and finally the family instructs the people in the head of Guizhou...

  This is also the current Han Dynasty, or since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the feudal society ruled form gradually formed, layer by layer divided and ruled, forming a vast pyramid structure. The supreme monarch, the ministers who control the government, the aristocratic families in the countryside, and the ignorant head of Guizhou...

   Very reasonable and appropriate.

  But Fei Qian was not satisfied. This is just a young Guo Fengxiao, at most a growing body. Maybe only a few years later, when he really votes for Cao Cao, he will be a full-bodied Guo Fengxiao.

Fei Qian pressed further and asked: "Since this is the case, if you encounter a catastrophe, you must give up one of the four, and which one can you go?"—If one day it is necessary to get rid of one of the monarch, minister, family, and head of Guizhou When, which one can be discarded?

   "This..." Apparently, no one has ever asked this question before, and it was so tricky. For a while, Guo Jia couldn't answer, and fell into deep thought.

  Boy, haven’t you ever been pitted by abandonment questions? Heh heh, I think that if the person in the later generations wanted to enter some pretentious company, he would almost always encounter similar questions during the interview——

  For example, first ask a person how many things are the most important in life?

   Then I felt that this question was so simple, so I naturally asked Barabara to answer a lot of achievements, family wealth, life value, etc...

   But I didn’t expect that the interviewer actually didn’t care about what you answered to this question at all. He just dug a hole first, and then saw you fell into the hole, so he added a handful of soil——

   May I ask if you need to give up one of the things just mentioned, which one would you give up first?

   If you are a little bit more tricky, you can ask again, in addition to the one you just gave up, if you give up another one, which one do you want to give up?

  …

   At this time, no matter what the previous answer is, basically it will fall into the long exam, just like Guo Jia now.

  Abandon you? Can it work without a head? Confucianism's most fundamental morals have no object?

   Abandon minister? If the arm is cut off, can this person still be complete, can he still control the family? How does the state work?

   Abandoning the family? As a member of the family, you want to dig the grave of the family? And without the aristocratic family, how much land can those few courtiers control? How did the decree reach the field?

   Abandon Guishou? It seems to be the easiest to choose, but it must not be chosen, because although it is the lowest, if there is no Qianshou, does the upper level still have meaning?

  Guo Jia pouted secretly, this Fei Qian Fei Ziyuan looked like he had a kind and gentle face, it turned out that there was bad water in his stomach, and he dug a hole for me to jump inadvertently...

Guo Jia rolled his eyes, and finally said: "Ziyuan is a great talent, why don't you teach me?"—Okay, you asked this question well enough, of course, if you can answer it yourself, I will admit that you are a master. talent…

   Feiqian smiled, although he knew that later generations abandoned the family and used the knowledge of the family to feed the ignorant Qianshou, so that he could grow into a lamb who knew a little bit of right and wrong, and then he could directly direct the lamb, but at this time he could not speak.

  Because the most fundamental part of this road is to develop the wisdom of the people, and the real development of the wisdom of the people is not simply to let the people learn two words, but to have sufficient autonomy, the right to know and the right to make decisions...

   Otherwise, that Bei Bangzi in later generations can say that the people do not know how to read? But isn't it living under a illusory and deified ruling class?

   It will take thousands of years to walk, and it may not be possible to walk well. Now, if I tell Guo Jia, who has never experienced any storms, most of them will think it is pure deceit.

  So Fei Qian said: "Qian doesn't know, but why not make a bet..."

  Guo Jia didn't answer the call, but just listened quietly, expressing his interest.

  —Looks like I got tricked once, this kid learned how to behave, he didn’t agree immediately, but listened clearly before making a decision, but what…

Fei Qian said: "This time, Qian was ordered by his teacher to study abroad, at least one year, and at most three years. If during this period, if I understand it, I will win, and if you understand it, you will win. How about it?" The meaning is not a sentence or two, but a step-by-step solution, otherwise it is a verbal "answer" rather than a written "solution".

  Guo Jia weighed it carefully, and it seemed quite fair. Gambling with knowledge is also an elegant thing, so he said: "What is the lottery? If there is a solution, how can I find you?" The implication is that I must be the winner!

   "How about a hundred altars of good wine? I traveled to Jingxiang to study. If I have a solution, how can I find you?" - Fei Qian's answer means that it is not certain who wins or loses!

  Guo Jia laughed, "Good! You don't need to worry, I will solve it!" After saying that, he bowed his hands and was about to leave.

"Wait for filial piety!" Fei Qian turned around and went to the place where the Xun family provided the pen and paper, took the pen and paper, raised his head and wrote "In September of the first year of Zhaoning, at the Xun family's villa—first lecture on Xun Yu, main lecture on Xun Shuang" Then wrote the words "Heluofeiqian" on the left side below, and handed the pen and paper to Guo Jia.

  Guo Jia understood without Fei Qian's explanation, stroked his palm and said, "It's still Ziyuan who has a delicate mind, this method is very wonderful!"

  In ancient times, it was not as convenient as passing information in later generations. If two people both find the answer to the question, how can they determine who comes first? Basically, like Feiqian, you can roughly deal with this problem on a certain level.

While writing down the answer, record the time, place, major events and people that happened at that time, so even if you want to cheat, it will be difficult, such as writing down the year number and the current events in advance, but the time it takes to deliver the answer is It can be estimated, and after checking, it is found that if it is written last year, the answer is only this year - from Yingchuan to Jingxiang, no matter how you go on this road, it will not take a year to travel, right?

  That's why it's so great that it's one month or two months in advance, and it's absolutely impossible to advance too much. And there is a small detail, Fei Qian also deliberately signed on the left side, expressing modesty, letting Guo Jia sit on the right, satisfying Guo Jia's vanity...

  Guo Jia happily picked up the pen, and signed the name with the pen, which can be regarded as a written confirmation of the bet.

   But I didn't expect to see Fei Qian handed over another piece of paper, and then said with a smile: "Qian is better than collecting signatures, please Feng Xiao sign another..."

   Instead of making a solicitation, I made a bet... Hehehe... Although Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao are from a poor family, he has a high spirit... Please recommend tickets for collection...
