Yang Fan has just solved a big matter, and his heart is down-to-earth, and now he just wants to go home to tease his baby son and enjoy the joy of family.
Li Mubai said: "The family is independent of the court, but it is closely related to the court; The family is independent of the world, but it is deeply integrated into the world; Others look at the children of the family, all of them are high, as if they do not eat the fireworks of the world, in fact, the family has joined the world more than anyone else" Li Mubai's unique opening remarks immediately attracted Yang Fan, and he was no longer perfunctory and began to listen carefully.
Li Mubai said: "The family's thousands of years of accumulation have accumulated huge wealth.
This wealth is not a treasure in a simple sense, not a golden Buddha, jade Buddha, and silver Arhat buried in the underground palace like the Temple of Mercy and Grace, but the wealth held by the family is something closely related to the people's livelihood and people's wisdom, and it is the wealth of human beings that has been well preserved for more than 1,000 years, and it is the most fundamental force in this world For example, those who plant mulberries, raise silkworms, weave cloth, herd horses, and grow crops, everyone is the most humble and insignificant in the world, but if their forces are concentrated, the family is not the imperial court, and it cannot use government decrees, national laws and the army to control the world, but it can be done in this way.
There is no lamb planting, silkworm raising, weaving, horse herding, or crop planting, and everyone has an invisible silk thread that controls and controls them from top to bottom.
If you open a cloth village and a silk and satin village, you will master all the people who plant mulberry, raise silkworms, and weave cloth, you will buy horses and sell horses, you will master those horse herders, and if you buy grain, transport grain, and sell grain, you will master the crops in the world.
Therefore, the people who have this power are not to rule them, nor to collect rents and taxes from them, nor to drive them to fight for themselves, but those are the power of the imperial court.
It is through this hidden control that the family influences the imperial court through the people of the world, and then influences the world through the imperial court in turn The voice of everyone in the world is too weak for the court to hear us bring their voices together, and the court can hear that if the emperor issues a decree that is unfavorable to the peasants of the world, if he waits for the evil consequences of this decree to manifest itself, then the world will already be depressed, and the hungry people will riot, and it will be out of control.
And we can use the courtiers we have cultivated to raise objections in the court, and if the emperor still refuses to change, we can let him know the benefits and disadvantages through the fluctuation of grain prices and the shortage of grain. ” The corners of Yang Fan's mouth flashed with a sneering smile, and he said leisurely: "In this way, the family pays more attention to the people's livelihood than the imperial court."
Li Mubai laughed, pointed at him and said: "You kid, you were born in the Han clan, and you are not used to us people from the family, and you always feel that we are powerful and prosperous, and we are the people."
I knew you would have such cynical words."
Yang Fan was startled, but he didn't expect him to be able to hear his ridicule, and quickly explained: "Junior" Li Mubai shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I don't need to explain, the old man has lived for such a long time, he hasn't seen anything, and he doesn't understand the truth, yes, the family also has selfishness, and he has to plan for himself, but the family is integrated into the world, or it will take more benefits, but you think it will go against the interests of the world."
Li Mubai turned to Yang Fan and said with blazing eyes: "We have inherited for thousands of years, there have been declines, there have been prosperity, and we have learned from the pain, and we have learned many lessons: we are not like the imperial court, we can override the common people in the world through political power, so we know better than the imperial court what is beneficial to the world."
Of course, the family also has selfishness, but who is selfless, the emperor is not selfish, or is there anyone in the world who is not selfish, you don't want to use all resources, ask the best gentleman to teach your children and grandchildren When they grow up, you will not use your connections to pave the way for him as much as possible" Yang Fan was speechless.
Li Mubai said: "What we do is no different from each of you, and it is enough to be able to take care of the world."
Do you think that if you put the family aside and replace some Han people, they will have the character of being public in the world, and they will be public in the world, and they will not be left behind, and it will be impossible.
If one day the family ceases to exist, will the world become a paradise?"
Li Mubai shook his head and said, "Maybe it won't be worse than now, but it won't be better than now."
Changing a group of mud legs is just creating a new group of nobles.
Whatever he turned out to be, it was impossible to go back.
If Chen Sheng and Wu Guang sit in the world, they will not represent the mud legs and palm prints in the world.
A poor and white man comes up, he also has to maintain his family and establish his own power, so he needs to accumulate wealth, he needs to make contacts, these hungry ghosts are poorer than those who have eaten enough and just want to save a ration for their children and grandchildren.
Li Mubai touched his beard, glanced at Yang Fan slyly, and said, "The old man will not forcibly ask you to change your mind.
You are now an official, and you are about to become the master of the supreme sect, and in a hundred and ten years, your descendants will also become a great family, and if you are still alive at that time, you will also devote all your energy to their existence and development. ” Li Mubai stretched out his hand and began to draw circles on the surface of the lake, saying: "In this small circle, towards your relatives; In a larger circle, help your friends: in a larger circle, you have to take care of your fellow villagers.
You are Hedong Dao, I am from Guannei Dao, you two quarrel, I want to help our people in Guannei Dao; You are a Tubo, I am a Tang person, you two fight, I want to help the Tang people: it was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. ” Yang Fan was speechless.
Li Mubai smiled, and said: "The family is also one of the many circles in this big trap and small circle, what is there to criticize, let's go back to our topic."
What kind of power are you going to master, Old Man Okao has already given an example with firewood, rice, oil, salt, grain, cloth, and other resources such as cultural and educational resources, and officialdom resources The big sound is loud, the elephant is invisible, and the real power in the world has always been hidden behind the court, invisible and intangible, but it really works.
Of course, we can't influence the emperor and the world in everything, and we are also subject to the balance of various forces in the world.
There are many things that we can't do either, and we only play an influential role to a certain extent.
And the heir hall is to integrate the power of various families, so that our influence can be greater.
Now, do you know how powerful you will be?"
Li Mubai explained in simple terms, and explained to Yang very bluntly that he was actually a sentence: "Not a king, but a king" This has always been the Maison's philosophy of existence.
This is the reason why a dynasty has only a short two or three hundred years of national fortune, while a family can be inherited for thousands of years.
They never thought of seizing power, they were only attached to it and relatively independent.
In order to survive better, they have to constantly provide nourishment to a regime, and at the same time absorb the nutrients they need from the regime, coexist with it, and when the life of the regime comes to an end, they abandon it and look for a "big tree."
"Continue to coexist in symbiosis.
With this philosophy of survival, China's scholar politics sprouted in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was brilliant in the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, and was brilliant again in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
It wasn't until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, when all forces killed and killed, and after a hundred years of killing, the family was killed by swords, and its existence officially ended.
Leaving a succession hall alone, in another way, continues its low-key glory.
But as Li Mubai said, and then established one dynasty after another, without the existence of a family, the world has not become better, nor has it become worse.
The Han and Tang dynasties were brilliant, and the Song and Ming dynasties were also brilliant; Han and Tang were humiliated, and Song Ming was also humiliated.
The knots that cannot be untied from the strange circle that cannot be unbroken, the fundamental system will not change, and the world will not change.
There is no family, and there are other large and small "circles".
"The world will always be a vanity fair,11 When the nerd Zheng Yu is dressed in a hunting costume and carries a bow and arrows, he has a clean and neat sassy appearance.
With dozens of guards and a few carriages, he left Chang'an City and headed south.

There was food and wine in the car, and there were cooking utensils and tents, looking like this, he was going to Qinling to hunt, and he would not come back without three or five days of hard work.
Among the children of the family, because Zheng Yu's personality is square to the extent of almost woodenness, he has never been liked by the self-proclaimed Cui Shi, Wang Siyuan and others, and he has always been excluded in the small circle of exchanges between the children of these families.
Although Cui Shi and the others usually meet him, they are also giggling, and there is no lack of politeness and enthusiasm, but they are really incompatible with him.
In addition, the last time he was in the Lu family, Yang Fan stammered about Lu Binmi's escape by car, which almost cost Lu Binmi's life, which caused an irreconcilable contradiction between the Shandong scholars, and he was even less treated by the children of other families.
So, on this safari, he was the only one with his entourage, not even a single friend.
The convoy was far away from Chang'an City, and when it reached the foot of the Qinling Mountains, it was getting late, and the guards began to camp at the foot of the mountain.
Zheng Yu was still riding on the horse, looking at the busy guards, and it took a long time before he turned his horse and turned his head.
Behind him, two inseparable guards were standing on their horses, the bright red setting sun reflected on them, and one of the guards was bowing his head and patting his mane, and the horse turned his head and licked the back of his hand affectionately.
The other guard sat straight on horseback, out of step with his surroundings, and although he was also wearing a guard's shirt, he still couldn't hide his haughty temperament, half of his face was red in the setting sun, and his eyes were shining in the setting sun: Lu Binmi, a Jiang Gongzi Everyone thought that Jiang Gongzi, who had fled back to Luoyang in embarrassment at this moment, and might even have fled all the way back to Fanyang, was actually here:
