?

  Song initially took off his big coat, stroked the snow on his head, sat in front of the table, and held the small snow to warm his hands.

  The carriage was quiet, and the sound of horseshoes and wheels could be heard outside. Song Chuyi casually picked up a bamboo scroll from the table, unrolled it, roughly scanned it, and muttered to himself, "Hmm, White Blade, good!"

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Yi Tai raised his head and said to Mo Gu, "In the future, this little ball of fluff I'm raising will be called White Edge."

  Heiwa Valley snorted, glared at the slightly larger little beast, and said with a wave of his hand, "That's also the little beast that peed on my bedding. This name is certainly an insult to it."

  White Blade, with a sharp blade meaning, cold and sharp just by hearing the name.

  He didn't find even a bit of matching temperament on that little thing.

  "It's better when you grow up, I don't believe you never wet your bed as a kid." Song Chu said.

  "Never before." The words of Bao Gong were as sharp as a knife.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one felt that the cold air on his body had been driven away, and then said, "As for last night's affairs, I don't know what you think?"

  He didn't say a word for a moment, then said "I was too impulsive."

  Song Chu smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction, "Good, being able to see the crux of the problem is good. However, your biggest shortcoming is that you are impulsive and let emotions guide your actions. You must understand, when two armies face off, if you can't calm your mind and quiet your spirit, then even the most ingenious strategies will be in vain."

  He is not stupid, but rather his emotions are easily affected. When he encounters something, he will definitely put his emotions first and rush to avenge without thinking about anything else. Perhaps the time he doesn't use his brain to think is only a short half moment, but for those who want to kill him, it's already enough.

  "Don't be arrogant, if you like reading 'Zhuangzi', then read it thoroughly, it can make up for your shortcomings." Song Chu's overly serious expression suddenly changed, and he smiled, "However, compared to 'The Wandering of the Soul', I suggest you carefully read 'The Great Master'." Bu Guo was already used to Song Chu's state and didn't find it strange, no matter what he did, so he just calmly and respectfully said, "Bu Guo accepts your teachings."

  For someone with ambitions and ideals, it doesn't take much to be motivated. When Song Chu-yi suggested that he not read "The Great Teacher", he instead studied it carefully.

  Zong, refers to reverence and respect. "Great Zongshi" means the most revered and respected teacher. Guan Wenming, would think it's about teaching people how to behave, but in fact, this is an article about the "Dao".

  Zhuangzi believed that the "Tao" is the great master. What is Tao? In summary, it means to clear one's mind and spirit, detach from physical form and intellect, forget life and death, and follow nature. This is what is called "Tao".

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, after reading this article, I didn't achieve a state of complete self-forgetfulness, but I gained many insights and my mind gradually returned to calmness.

  Heavy snow fell for two days, and the road became increasingly impassable. Fortunately, they were approaching a small city in Wei State called White Horse.

  After arriving at Baima, there is still a day's journey to the Yellow River. Then follow the Yellow River all the way west, you can reach near Hangu Pass in Qin State.

  As soon as the merchant caravan entered Baima City, it immediately attracted a lot of attention. Ji Yu had just chosen a place to settle down in an empty space when someone came over with something and asked if they wanted to trade.

  Commoners usually exchange goods such as cloth and grains.

  "Sir, would you like to exchange?" Ji Yu had never done any business before and was a bit hesitant.

  Song Chu asked, "Can we take some goods with us in the merchant caravan?"

  "We've only been out of Luoyang for three days. If nothing unexpected happens, our food should last us another ten or so days, enough to get us to the next city."

  "Tell them we're doing human trafficking, if they have any unwanted sons or daughters at home, they can exchange them." Song said.

  Even if they are indeed "unwanted children", there's no need to put it so bluntly.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one more sentence was added: "Check carefully, don't want any with defects. Girls must have a good appearance, boys... you handle it."

  "Hey!" Ji Yu Ling took orders and stepped down, loudly proclaiming what Song Chuyi had just said to those common people.

  As soon as the crowd heard that it was not goods being exchanged, but people, they immediately dispersed with a buzz. Ji Yu let out a sigh, now that wars were frequent and many places had already been laid waste, where could there be any surplus people?

  However, it is precisely because of this that the slave trade has always been extremely profitable. Every year, due to war, the population continues to decline sharply, but the demand for slaves from the nobility has not decreased at all. Therefore, the slave market between countries has always been very active.

  Ji Yu Zheng was about to order someone to set up a stove and cook rice, but suddenly saw a large group of people coming from the road, making a loud noise. Some were crying and struggling, some were sobbing softly, and there were women stumbling after them, shouting heart-wrenchingly.

  Most of the people were women and children, with only a few robust men. They stopped not far from the merchant group, and a bold child took half a step forward, asking "Can I, can I?"

  But it was self-selling as a slave.

  Among these people, some sell themselves, others sell their sons and daughters, and still others kidnap unrelated children to sell.

  Song opened a window at the beginning, dropped the curtains, and stared at the group of people from the gap, with both eyes shining brightly, they all took a glance.

  "Therefore, the sage's use of troops is to destroy a country without losing the hearts of its people, and to bestow benefits on all generations, not for personal love." Master, what does this sentence mean?" asked Mo Gu.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one said, "The sage uses military force to destroy enemy states without losing the hearts of their people. The benefits and blessings are bestowed on all ages, not for the sake of favoring certain individuals."

  Mo Yan didn't frown, he naturally understood the meaning. Looking at Song Chu's distracted appearance, he felt somewhat displeased in his heart, but still patiently asked: "How can we use troops without losing the hearts of the people? How can we widely bestow benefits and kindness without being partial to anyone?"

  "Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and sincerity." Song Chu's gaze lingered on a 7 or 8-year-old girl, carefully sizing her up multiple times.

  This is the Confucian idea, and Rong Yu asked, "Teacher, what you said about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and sincerity, are they the same as those in Confucianism?" The meaning is indeed the same, but mistakenly. Song Chuanyu saw a middle-aged man pulling the little girl she had just seen, and hurriedly called out, "Ji Bian! Ji Bi!"

  "Sir!" Ji Bian strode over in big steps.

  Song Chu stretched out his hand and pointed at the opposite side, saying "Go take a look what's going on, think of a way to buy that girl back."

  "Hi!"

  "Teacher, but what?" asked Lin Dong curiously.

  Song Chu turned his head and said, "Huh? What's wrong?"

  "You just taught me about ren yi li xin. Don't speak carelessly."

  Song Chuanyi recalled for a moment, then waved his hand and said "You didn't deceive me, did you? That kind of thing like benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and sincerity..."

  He didn't bat an eyelid, his voice slightly low. "Don't tell me you were just spouting nonsense!" He suddenly bellowed, "As a role model for others! How can you be so frivolous!"

  Song Chuai dug into his ear and said lightly, "I remember, I was just testing whether the lesson you taught me this morning had any effect."

  He didn't stay calm and immediately held his head in pain, silently reflecting. He said he would calm down, but still easily got angry again.

  Song Chu raised an eyebrow slightly and turned her head to continue looking out of the car window, thinking to herself, "Finally, I can observe quietly..."
