    There is a small stage directly in front of the banquet table, which is where Kabuki performances are performed.

    Liu Guan specially ordered a little girl named "Jing'er" to play the zither on the stage.  At the age of fifteen or six, she combed a "double-hanging girls' bun", that is, the top of her hair was divided into two large strands, and they were tied into symmetrical buns or rings, hanging on both sides relatively.

    Girl Jing'er smiles beautifully, softly and sweetly.  She lifted her braids slightly, raised her head slowly, smiled faintly, raised her right hand lightly, turned her head slightly, and flung out her water sleeves, which just covered her face, like holding a pipa and half covering her face.

    [1] "Tao Te Ching" Lao Tzu

    ? To govern a big country is like cooking a small dish,

    ?Using the Tao to reach the world, its ghosts are not gods.

    It's not that its ghosts are not gods, its gods don't hurt people.

    Unless its gods do not hurt people, saints do not hurt people either.

    Husband and wife do not hurt each other, so virtue reciprocates.

    After drinking three rounds and eating five flavors, Liu Guan asked Jackson: "I heard that you are going to translate Zhang Ximeng's "Three Things Advice"?"

    "Yes, sir." Jackson stood up and said.

    "Sit down, sit down, young man, you don't have to be polite." Liu Guan gestured.

    Liu Guan asked: "Can you tell me why you want to translate this book?"

    Jackson said: "We Daqin people all want to be officials, but we don't know how to be officials. Therefore, I want to use this book to educate them."

    Liu Guan laughed and said, "How come they don't know how to do official law?"

    "People in our place are officials, just like playing around." Jackson said, "Unlike the officials here, they look like officials."

    "What kind of official look?"

    "As majestic as a father."

    Liu Guan laughed again, "It's not like an official, wouldn't it be better? It's so close to the people!"

    Jackson said: "The key is that they have no prestige, and they don't know how to deal with what happens."

    "How are the officials in your place selected?"

    "To be an official there, you must be a nobleman. If you want to become a nobleman, you must obtain a title. There are only two conditions for obtaining a title: First, through military exploits. If there is no war, pick something, create a war, and then bring  If you lead a group of people to fight, you will be awarded a knighthood by the king if you have achieved military exploits, and the knighthood is often based on the number of people killed;  The number of people who are enshrined each year is limited, and if the donations to the royal family are not enough, the money will naturally be wasted. Therefore, it is better to be entrusted by war.

    Our word "nobility" is aristocracy, which originally meant "outstanding" and "excellent", but in my opinion, it has more derogatory meanings of "stupid" and "mediocre". How can a group of people like this manage a place well?

    In our Angland, the highest order is the "Order of the Garter" founded in the middle of the 4th century.  "

    Liu Guan asked: "What year is this 4th century?"

    Ji Xu explained: "It's our Western Jin Dynasty."

    Jackson went on to say: "It is rumored that Edward III established this honor to commemorate a seemingly irrelevant accident. At a ball celebrating the capture of Calais, the beautiful Countess of Salisbury  A blue garter fell, was picked up by Edward III, and wrapped around his leg. The onlookers laughed when they saw it. Edward rebuked them and said, "Shame on anyone who thinks this is a bad thing! From now on, this blue garter  It's the ribbon when I was awarded the honor'"

    Jackson imitated Edward III vividly, making everyone laugh.

    Jackson said: "This sentence later really became the king's motto when awarding honors. It appeared on the medals together with the blue garter and the cross of St. George, inspiring the warriors to despise death and fight bravely in war.  And make the 'Order of the Garter' the most alluring noble order in Anglia to come."

    Hearing what Jackson said, Liu Guan smiled and said, "Using a woman's sock as a ribbon, the king can really think of it; but using 'Shame on anyone who thinks this is a bad thing' as the official sign of war or awarding honors."  Language, there is something interesting" He raised his glass and said, "Let's toast together," he imitated Jackson's emphasis and said, "Shame on anyone who thinks this is a bad thing!" After finishing speaking, he took a drink  And do.

    Everyone laughed and cheered.

    After sitting down, Liu Guan said: "Jackson, if you want to govern a country well, you can't solve the problem with just a book; it's not like you said that people without culture can't govern a country well. We here  The aristocrats [referring to the Mongols] are also uneducated, but they are not good at governing the land and water.The "closing the country" and "literary prison" have been brought to the extreme.

    After the joint efforts of the two dynasties, the Western powers, which were behind China for thousands of years, finally overtook China in a few years, and beat us up with the gunpowder we invented, and even dumped the gold and silver treasures all over the place.  Grab a streamer!

    Recently, I saw a post on the subject of how many years would it take for the Chinese to use electricity and smartphones in a completely closed environment without the intervention of Western civilization?

    I am speechless!

    All I can say is, is it God¡¯s punishment for the Chinese to let a poor man who needs to eat become an emperor in the end?

    There is a reason for being poor!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
