"No, no, no, no kicking." The uncle waved his hand and took the package containing the bonus of 3 guan from a guy next to him.
"Young man, you have your 5oo papers." The uncle took out a small package from the package and handed it to Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping took the package, opened it, took out a string of 100 pennies from it, and handed it back to the uncle. "Return the registration fee to you first."
"Hey, you're just out of here." The uncle frowned in dissatisfaction, "I just agreed that you won't charge you if you kick well, but you agreed."
"Uh..." Yu Qiuping recalled it, and it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, "That's OK, do what you say."
"Young man, your defense is really good," at this time, several companions around the uncle were changing clothes while praising Yu Qiuping. "It is the most important thing to realize that they are in place, they are strong and not greedy," the uncle also added. "The opponent's fake moves failed to deceive you several times, and you did not force a steal, which made your defense more stable."
"But, it's a little too conservative," the uncle touched his chin without beards. "Sometimes you should be a little more proactive."
"There's no way, it's an old problem," Yu Qiuping laughed. "I've been quite timid since I was a child and dare not take risks."
"I won't talk about this anymore. I'll treat you to a meal first to celebrate our victory." The uncle patted Yu Qiuping on the shoulder and led the group to the center of Junfu City. "There is a ramen shop that I especially like, and there is Mingguo noodles inside. You must like it."
In Japan at that time, the diet of the samurai daimyo to the common people was very simple. A bowl of millet porridge, a few pieces of radish or cucumber sauce was often the diet of ordinary farmers. Samurai could also add fish, miso soup and fresh vegetables to their diet. The most enviable thing was rice that only samurai could afford. Since the Japanese Emperor had issued a ban on meat order before, beef and other meats were unclean. Therefore, in the upper class who could consume meat, there was not much consumption of meat. The lower class naturally did not have the ability to eat meat. Ramen was a relatively luxurious enjoyment at this time.
After walking to the noodle shop, Yu Qiuping realized that his pendant was not hanging around his neck, probably landed on the venue. So he hurriedly ran back to search, and finally found the red leaf pendant falling in the soil on the shelf where the clothes were placed. After careful inspection, it was not damaged, Yu Qiuping wiped away the dust on it with his hands and hung it back on his neck.
After Yu Qiuping returned to the ramen shop, his Suzhou noodles had already been served. The uncle and his friends were very caring and did not move their chopsticks, but waited for Yu Qiuping to come back and eat together.
"Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, why don't you eat first? The noodles are not delicious when they are cold." Yu Qiuping moved his chair and sat down, nodded to the others and apologized.
"Haha, this is Suruga, one of the best places in Japan's etiquette." A middle-aged man sitting on Yu Qiuhei's left hand said, "There is no reason why the guests use chopsticks before they arrive."
"Oh? That's it. I'm just here for the first time and don't know much about these rules." Yu Qiuhei swallowed his mouth and asked, "Is this what Suruga has been like since ancient times?"
"That's not true. The customs of the sixty-six countries in the world are different. Generally, the customs and etiquette in wealthy places will be better," the middle-aged man continued. "Like the Kinki region, the Suruga in Tokaido, or the Shuimoto and Nagato of the Ouchi family, and Echizen of the Asakura family, etiquette is very particular."
"But, our Suruga was originally a Kanto tutu in the eyes of Kinki people," the uncle took over the conversation, "It was only after the Imakawa family began to pay attention to etiquette and culture that they became like this."
"After that, what kind of existence is the Imagawa family?" Yu Qiuhei saw that this businessman seemed to be knowledgeable, so he wanted to take the opportunity to understand the current background of the times. "This Suruga is ruled by the Imagawa family, right?"
"Well... this is a long story," the uncle swallowed the food in his mouth, put the chopsticks on the plate, and introduced to Yuqihei: "The Imakawa family was originally a branch of the current Shogunate General Ashikaga, with noble bloodlines. It has the saying that the Imakawa family was supreme, Yoshira Kazuki, and Yoshira Kazuki. The ancestor Imakawa Fanguo was awarded the guardians of Suruga and Toge for his meritorious service, and later the guardians of Toge was once taken back due to political reasons. When the shogunate and Kanto were opposed, the Imakawa family repeatedly stood firmly on the side of the shogunate as a pioneer team.
Invaded Kanto, he was highly appreciated by the shogunate. The Imakawa family was also awarded the honor of "Deputy General of the Conquering Yi", and the surname Imakawa was also awarded the title of "The One Miao in the World". " Seeing Yu Qiuhei, it seemed a little puzzled, so the uncle explained, "The so-called "One Miao in the World" means that except for the Imakawa Moon family, the common people were not allowed to use Imakawa's surname. For example, the current Imakawa master Yoshimoto, "The Uncle smiled slightly, "Before returning to the secular world and inheriting the position of the family governor, the surname Imakawa could not be used, but was called Mei Yue Seiyoshi."
"In this way, there are only a few people in the world who can be called Imakawa! That's a real honor." Yu Qiuhei couldn't help but sigh, "As long as you hear the word Imakawa, you must be the direct descendant of the Imakawa family."
"That's right," the uncle nodded, "There are only children of the head of the family except the head of the family. After the eldest son in the family inherited the position of family governor, his brothers would change their surnames. For example, the former Toei Imagawa family changed their surname to Sena."
"Where did you say just now? The guardian of Tohsu was confiscated, right?" The uncle clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention and continued, "Later, when the Yingren Rebellion broke out, Lord Yoshitaki Imakawa tried to invade Tohsu to restore the territory many times, but unfortunately he was buried in the body. The heir of the Imakawa family, who later the Imakawa family, was still young, and was temporarily regent by Xiaolu Fanman. After he became an adult, the Imakawa family regained the power of the family with the help of Hojo Saiyun of the Hojo family, and began to concentrate all his efforts to attack Tohsu."
"In the fifth year of Echon (15o8), the shogunate once again granted the Imakawa family the official position of guardian of Tosuke, and the Imakawa family naturally included Suruga under the rule. In this strategy, the Asahina family and the Okabe family made outstanding contributions and were personally relied on by the Imakawa family as their ministers, becoming the two pillars of the Imakawa family."
"And then, when the Lord formulated the famous "Kaona Imagawa Catalogue" and established the order within the territory with detailed division of states." The uncle suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong? He looks very excited."
"No, I just think this Imakawa family's relative is really amazing," Yu Qiuping said with a smile.
"Oh?" A smile flashed across the uncle's mouth, "When he said that he fought against Dingyuanjiang, you didn't have any special admiration. Why was he so excited after hearing the "Kashina Imakawa Catalog"?"
"I think it's far less important to guide a city and a country than a detailed legal system," Yu Qiuping, a historical student, was deeply touched by this. "The law is the cornerstone of a regime's stability."
"Continue to talk." The uncle signaled him to continue talking.
"How to say it, I think the law is very important to society and the country. Mencius said that there is no rule, but it cannot be a square," Yu Qiuping explained. "The law can not only regulate social order, but also restrict the rights of rulers while protecting individual rights, so as not to let them act against the contrary. If everything in a country can have a set of unified yardsticks called the law, it can eliminate injustice and privileges to the greatest extent. As the saying goes, there is no need to worry about lack of people but unevenness, this is what it means. As long as the law can be implemented well, the order of the country and society will be maintained."
"But, we Han people have always not attached enough importance to the law," Yu Qiuping frowned and gently tapped the edge of the bowl with chopsticks. "Our historical books always praise man's rule rather than law. We praise virtuous kings like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, praise noble ministers, but do not pay attention to a set of laws that can truly bless later generations. The king's expressions become a constitution and is above the law. The support for rituals into the law even incorporates the Confucian ethical principles into the law, and the position of the law is not valued." Yu Qiuping sighed, "The country is difficult to maintain long-term stability, and prosperity and decline are all related to the rulers. When a wise king is naturally good, one hundred good. Once the ruling class is incompetent, the entire dynasty will fall into crisis."
"Therefore, the Central Plains is a great disaster in three hundred years, and the cycle of governance is because there is no set of permanent and fair laws to maintain social stability." Yu Qiuhei breathed a sigh of relief, "This is why I value the law so much. This Imakawa family's relative must have realized the importance of the law, so he admires him very much."
"It's really good." "Good boy, I'm knowledgeable." Several companions around him shouted, which made Yu Qiuping feel embarrassed.
"How old are you this year," the uncle suddenly asked.
"Seventeen." Yu Qiuping reported his empty year.
A strange color flashed in the uncle's eyes, "Yuqiu, you are very insightful. It is not easy for you to have such a profound understanding of it at your age. It is indeed a man from the Ming Dynasty, and it is extraordinary."
