Several thatched cottages.

A few simple desks.

Zhuge Liang opened a book and read it while eating breakfast.

Huang Yueying watched from the side, remembering that this person had a poor appetite after getting older, and seeing how inattentive this person was when eating, she said, "Brother, eat breakfast first. You can read slowly."

Look, it won’t run away either.”

Zhuge Liang choked, then shook his head helplessly, "That's fine."

So I put down my book and started eating breakfast seriously.

Huang Yueying nodded with satisfaction.

Article 8 of the Time Travel Guide: The body is the capital of revolution.

When Zhuge Liang fought with Sima Yi, what did he lose in the end? It wasn't his body. Therefore, this shortcoming had to be corrected when he was young.

When Zhuge Liang saw Huang Yueying's appearance, he laughed inwardly. This little guy took care of himself a lot, but a little warmth surged through his heart.

It had been a long, long time since anyone had spoken to him like this.

After finishing breakfast, Zhuge Liang cleaned up the dishes and then took them to the kitchen to wash them together. Huang Yueying also felt that it was natural... In later generations, there are still few men doing housework?

After Zhuge Liang finished packing, the two went to the study again.

The pile of bamboo slips was also moved there.

"Liang originally thought that A Chu would return to Xiangyang today."

"That was my original plan, but I had a great conversation with my brother, and he made plans for A Chu last night. I feel... that we met my brother too late."

"Hahaha, Liang, I think so too."

"So, I brought a few more books today and wanted to ask for advice."

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, asking for advice. He remembered that what he just read was "Mencius", and he seemed to feel something.

"What do you want to ask Achu?"

"The affairs of the world."

"It's no more bright than a piece of cloth, how do you know it?" Zhuge Liang laughed.

"Brother, you are so humble..." Huang Yueying rolled her eyes. What, are you afraid that she is coming to kick the club?

"Okay, okay, let's stop teasing Ah Chu." Zhuge Liang sat at the desk and picked up a volume of books, "What Ah Chu brought today are all "Mencius", what's the explanation?"

"If you are confused, I hope my brother will clear it up."

"Um."

"The Book of Records once said that the people are the foundation of a country, and if the foundation is solid, the country will be peaceful. In the first two hundred years of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang's rebellion caused the number of ruins to be destroyed, which was twice as many as that of Qin Xiang. In the nearly two hundred years of the later Han Dynasty,

We were also attacked by the eunuchs and Dong Zhuo's rebellion. Lü Ji now said that the feudal lords were divided into separate kingdoms, and their names were all empty but there was no place to live. There were countless people who could not live for hundreds of miles."

Huang Yueying sighed, first saying a sentence in "Shang Shu", the people are the foundation of the country, and the country will be peaceful when the foundation is strong. Then he talked about the great changes in the Han Dynasty in the past four hundred years. Now, in many places,

There are countless situations where it is empty and uninhabited, and there are even no people within a hundred miles.

Zhuge Liang nodded, "Yeah."

"Is it the emperor who doesn't know that the people are the foundation of the country, or the princes who don't know that the people are the foundation of the country? Why are they fighting?" Then Huang Yueying asked the question.

"It's not that I don't know, it's because I can't." Zhuge Liang replied without thinking, "How can the emperor see his power when he is deceived? The princes fight for power and fame, and they benefit from these three things. Although the people are the foundation of the country, they are weak and weak.

Being small, it is difficult to have food and clothing, let alone weapons and weapons?"

"Mencius once said that the people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least. Don't the princes learn the meaning of the scriptures? Don't they respect Confucius and Mencius?" Huang Yueying asked again.

Zhuge Liang was silent and sighed in his heart, if everyone could respect Confucius and Mencius, why would the world be like this? But... Ah Chu would not know this truth.

"The meaning of scriptures, Confucius and Mencius, for some people, are not as important as fame, wealth and power." Zhuge Liang then looked at the person in front of him seriously, "Don't you know, Ah Chu?"

"Achu knows it, and because he knows it, he doesn't understand it."

"Knowing but not understanding?"

"The Master said, if you eat sparingly and drink water, and bend your arms and rest your head on it, you will also enjoy it. Unjust wealth and honor are like floating clouds to me. The same is true for Achu."

Huang Yueying expressed her views,

"Furthermore, the great Han Dynasty governed the world with filial piety, and promoted talents with the virtues of a gentleman.

Even when Dong Zhuo was young, he was fond of fighting injustices and behaved like a gentleman, so he was promoted to Yu Lin Lang.

As a gentleman, why don't you know that the people are the foundation of the country?"

Zhuge Liang just felt that he was going to be distracted by the person in front of him. He kept going back and forth on the topic of gentleman, but...this method of recruiting talents did have problems.

"A Chu, if you behave like a gentleman, you are not a gentleman. Doesn't A Chu know that?"

"Know."

"So what's the point today?"

"I'm just wondering whether Mencius is right in saying that the ruler despises the people."

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly. This kind of question is difficult to answer in the current era.

But in this life, the people are like ants, and the princes are like the sons of rich men... But it cannot be denied that Mencius's words are right.

"Brother, I believe what Mencius said."

"Since the capital suffered from Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the people moved eastwards and settled mostly in Pengcheng.

When they encountered Cao Cao, they trapped and killed tens of thousands of men and women in Si River, but the water did not flow. He led his troops to capture Lu from southern Si, and massacred them all in Suiling and Xiaqiu counties.

All the chickens and dogs are gone, and no one can return to the market."

"The living people are like ants, hungry and eating each other."

"Brother, don't you see me?"

Yes, Huang Yueying came today to tell this person who is still waiting for someone that in this world, the so-called people are not valued at all. If possible... pull this person onto the pirate ship first.

Zhuge Liang frowned, and then shook his head, "Seeing this, Liang is just one person, and he is more than satisfied."

"Brother, why did you say yesterday that you haven't met the Master of the Ming Dynasty? If you hadn't met the Master of the Ming Dynasty, you would have worked here all your life?"

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly, "What does A Chu want?"

Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance, Huang Yueying just smiled and said, "I hope my brother will meet the Ming Lord soon."

Zhuge Liang is silent, only when he meets the master of the Ming Dynasty can he show his talents. Is it wrong?

Is it wrong?

That’s right!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang burst out laughing, "Achu also said that he wanted to establish a destiny for thousands of people and bring peace to the dynasty of all generations, is that right?"

"Yes." Huang Yueying nodded without hesitation.

"Achu is asking for help?"

"yes."

"As a brother, I am also searching." Zhuge Liang smiled gently. This little girl is a bit impatient. She is so much younger than him. "It's just that the road is long and difficult. Although I am different from A Chu,

We have a long way to go, but we can all get back together, so don’t be in a hurry.”

So, Huang Yueying also smiled, and her goal was achieved today.

Although it was not possible to get this big boss on board the pirate ship at this stage, it left a possibility for the future.

but……

Wait a moment……

To establish a destiny for thousands of people...

She didn't say this as Huang Chu!

So, she really fell off her horse.

Dropped.

Then, she couldn't hold it any longer.

After a long time, I remembered that since the boss didn't make it clear, let's just continue to pretend that we don't know.

"What brother said is true, A Chu is too anxious." Then, Huang Yueying continued to give in shamelessly.

Anyway, she is young, almost two thousand years younger than Zhuge Liang!

Zhuge Liang smiled, but did not expose it, and then said, "A Chu's rise is too fast. He needs to practice quietly for several years before he can reach the right path."

Huang Yueying shook her head, "Although it started quickly, it is supported by money, food, soldiers, and power. Achu is already on the road to seeking the road."

"The world is governed by justice?"
