There is a legend on the Internet that unofficial history said that when Xiao Shenyang went to the disaster relief, he put a handful of sand in his porridge. He said that only the real victims would eat this porridge. Do you think the story of Xiao Shenyang is true or sophistry?
Then the question is, if you are a starving victim and the central government sends an imperial envoy to provide disaster relief, do you want a catty of grain to become a big corrupt official and a big gentry, or do you want a big upright official Ji Xiaolan who doesn't even know what Guanyin soil is?
Shenyang tricked Ji Xiaolan into his cell, then took a bottle of good wine and had a "heart-to-heart talk" with Ji Xiaolan. Ji Xiaolan certainly knew the purpose of Xiao Shenyang's visit and was not afraid to poison the wine (in fact, Xiao Shenyang wouldn't poison it), so he drank the first cup.
Let's watch the classic conversation between two people again.
And: In the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao talked about heroes by cooking wine. He said to Liu Bei, "The heroes in the world are only kings, but only their ears." Tonight, I feel the same way as someone else!
Ji: Your honor, can the great rape and evil be juxtaposed with the great good? Hey, are you praising me or hurting me?
Harmony: loyal to me, honest and greedy, kind and evil. Okay？ You swept all the fame in the world, and I swept all the notoriety in the world. Then why don't we have a drink?
Ji: OK, have a drink. And, my Lord, get down to business.
Ji: The corrupt officials in Yancheng turned the food eaten by people into chaff and forage eaten by animals. Do adults know about this?
And: I know.
Ji: Aren't adults ashamed?
And: I am doubly gratified!
Ji: Why?
And: Mr. Ji didn't know that this catty of rations could be exchanged for three catties of bran. This is equivalent to the food that could have saved one person, and now it can save three people!
Ji: But bran is for animals, not people!
And: Oh, is the victim still human?
Oh, don't stare so big! You know, people who are starving to death are no longer people! That's an animal. As long as it can live, what bran is there? That is good stuff! Grass roots, bark and soil can all be eaten.
Ji: It's shocking that this statement comes from an open adult!
Of course you are shocked. You are a scholar. You will only be in the study, holding the sage book and cursing the incumbent.
Ji: If the court is unfair, you will attack yourself.
Why are you so angry? Come, drink, drink.
Ji: Drink ... Drink.
Also: Ji's adult, have you ever seen anyone who eats Guanyin soil swell to death?
Q: What is Guanyin soil?
And: Look, you don't know. Let me ask you again, have you seen all the bark on this thousand-mile plain being chewed up?
And: He Shi, of course you've heard of it. That's just four words in the history book. I have seen it with my own eyes. It's for children. Hehe, that's a pile of meat in the pot!
Ji: You?
You think I'm inhuman, don't you? You think I only know how to make money, don't you? I have been to the disaster area myself, and my heart became cold when I got there. I just know that no matter how much food the imperial court sends for disaster relief, it will never be enough! If I don't try to be flexible, what you see in the disaster area is not the victims, but the bones!
Ji: Well, there is not enough food for disaster relief. You can ask the court for another appropriation!
And: the imperial court? Do you know how much money is left in the national treasury? You don't know. You don't know. Do you know that the national treasury is an empty shell now?
Ji: But the imperial court still distributed relief food. I read their books, and all the relief food went into this big boss Xue's bank.
Hehe: You can't say that. Boss Xue is a well-connected man. Only when a penny goes in and two pence comes out can I have enough money to help the victims!
Ji: I have read their books. All the officials, big and small, are embezzling the relief food.
And: save the people first, then save the officials! If officials can't live, who can they save?
Ji: Ridiculous!
And: it's true! Who will provide relief food for thousands of victims in Qian Qian? Do you send it, or do I send it? Don't you have to rely on those officials, big and small? Huh? Feed them, they will work hard for me!
Ji: What a fallacy! There are actually many reasons for corruption and bribery?
In this debate about greed, the gentlemen laughed and laughed, while Ji Xiaolan was basically surprised, frowning and shaking his head. It can be said that gentlemen and gentlemen completely defeated Ji Xiaolan. Why can't Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth argue with the gentry? As we all know, small Shenyang is absurd, absurd and inhuman, but when you think about it carefully, every sentence is reasonable and reflects reality. Although the facts are correct, Ji Xiaolan is more like a keyboard player who points out the maze. He doesn't know how miserable the actual situation of the victims is, nor how the following officials mobilize the execution, let alone the reality of the national treasury. He only knows that officials should not be greedy and ask the court for more money for disaster relief. To paraphrase an old saying, Ji Xiaolan is an idealist and Shenyang is a realist. The ideal is beautiful, and the reality is really cruel.
