Chapter 263: Field Inspection
The water used for washing and scrubbing is collected in a separate large vat.
The next day, early in the morning, after doing horse stance, I had breakfast.
Shen Ruyi took the young "guys" in her family and Manager Tong and started to look after the fields.
Every time we went to a place, we would take everyone to check out the soil and the terrain.
See how to irrigate the land, see if there is any fertilizer available nearby, and see how the tenants here are doing.
As we walked, we talked about how no education can be as effective as personal experience.
While Shen Ruyi was telling everyone, she would also mark which piece of land was suitable for planting what.
If there is anything I don’t know or the explanation is not clear, I will ask Manager Tong to supplement it.
We walked, looked and talked, and asked Manager Tong to explain it to everyone.
What are the wages of temporary and permanent workers today? What is the yield per acre of certain crops?
How much silver is needed to grow these crops? How much tax is required? How much is the surplus at the end?
I saw that most of the people lived in thatched houses and mud houses, and there were very few brick and tile houses.
Shen Ruyi would also talk about why they had struggled for many years but still couldn't afford to build a decent house.
They must have compassion and understand that life is not easy for ordinary people.
You may not sympathize or pity the other person, but you must never take the initiative to bully or hurt the other person.
Of course, ordinary people are not all kind.
There are also those who have no moral principles and are particularly shameless. If you are unlucky enough to meet such a person, you must be tough and ruthless.
Otherwise, they will bully us back.
One look at everyone, I can’t imagine how bad a person can be.
Manager Tong took over the conversation and told a few examples that he had personally encountered.
It talks about how some people confuse right and wrong, take advantage of their seniority and act recklessly in the village.
Or how some people, relying on the large number of male laborers in their families, bully others in the village.
In some villages, the people have bad morals. The clan leaders join forces with the village heads to bully orphans and widows and eat up the families that have been wiped out.
Occupy other people's land, houses or property.
There were even some overbearing clans who, seeing that the landlords had no backing and were weak, bullied them.
They collude with people above them to embezzle and occupy other people's land and property.
Hearing this, the little flowers in the greenhouse sighed.
I don’t know how much Changle really understood.
But the sighing sounds came loudest from him and the Monkey King. The Monkey King was gesticulating while sighing, and no one knew what he was mumbling.
In short, very supportive!
Agate took this opportunity to continue talking about how the rivals in the business world colluded with officials and businessmen to set up traps and wait for people to fall into them.
He also talked about how some petty officials bullied their subordinates and flattered their superiors, exploiting the common people.
Finally, Shen Ruyi concluded and emphasized, "
As I said, when you meet an ordinary kind person, help him/her if you can, regardless of his/her status.
You can give in what you can without harming your own interests.
But we must not tolerate those who have bad intentions and have questionable character, and we must punish them when necessary.
This method is also suitable for dealing with stubborn slaves.
Deal with what you can deal with, and stay away from what you can’t.
Many bad guys may not have the ability to help you succeed, but they can easily ruin you. If you are not careful, they can drag you into hell.
Of course, the prerequisite for handling this is that you have sufficient ability and your own safety is not a problem.
Remember, don't put yourself in a dangerous situation.
If something can be cleaned up on the spot, it should be cleaned up on the spot. If something cannot be cleaned up on the spot, remember to learn to call for help and leverage the power of others to complete it.
Don’t worry about face issues. In many cases, it is worthless.
Getting things done is a skill, and being able to call for help is itself a manifestation of ability.
Also, when you encounter something you don't understand or something you can't solve, remember to talk to or discuss it with your family. One person's vision is short, two people's vision is long.
Don't ever have the thought that you are afraid that the other person will worry or don't want to make the other person worry.
This is a very stupid and self-righteous idea.
Between relatives and friends, it’s a give and take relationship. Today you help me, and tomorrow I help you.
The relationship between people grows gradually as they bother each other.
If you don't bother me and I don't bother you, as time goes by, we will gradually become lazy in visiting each other.
In the end, it can only end by cutting off contact.
Especially Sister Xihe and Sister Nanxi, when you two get married in the future.
If certain people or certain things in your husband's family have annoyed you, you should get angry.
Otherwise, others will think that you have no temper and that you condone this behavior.
After the first time, there will definitely be a second time, or even countless times.
Also, if you are wronged, you should go back to your parents' home to ask for help. You must do so. It is not shameful to ask for help.
On the contrary, it means that you have a solid backing to rely on, which is a kind of happiness.
Don't be afraid of bothering your parents' home, or even afraid of embarrassing them.
Remember, throw all these thoughts away and forget them.
What you have learned and the education you have received before have basically taught you how to be a good daughter, wife, or daughter-in-law who is kind, well-educated, talented, and filial.
In the days to come, I will slowly teach you how to be a bad guy who is worthy of your conscience.
Remember, people who are too kind will not live long. Only when there is a mixture of good and bad, can yin and yang be reconciled, and only then can it conform to the great "Tao."
Also, human nature is mean, people are always bullying and afraid of cruelty. Only when you are tough, others will soften.
There is one more sentence that you must remember and think about it more carefully:
The timid are afraid of the stupid, the stupid are afraid of the aggressive, the aggressive are afraid of the desperate. Remember, when two meet in a narrow road, the brave will win!
This sentence applies to any occasion and any relationship. "
After hearing Shen Ruyi's words, Xihe and Nanxi were stunned for a long time.
How come it is completely different from what I learned before, but at the same time I feel like it sounds reasonable.
I seem to be confused by what I heard.
Shen Ruyi looked at them, her face flushed with embarrassment at first, then she looked confused and asked,
"Are you confused? It's completely different from what you learned before?"
"Yes."
"That's right. Everything you learned before was to teach you how to entertain yourself when you are alone.
It teaches you how to live with yourself. But it doesn’t teach you how to get along with other people.”
"That's not right, Ruyi. Doesn't the book say that we should be virtuous and kind, dignified and generous, gentle and honest, suitable for family life, filial to parents-in-law, and teach our children well?" Xihe replied.
