The leisurely life of rebirth

The lunch was made by Fang Monan, grandma, mom, Qiu Lian, Aunt Lian, and Fat Aunt. As her training advanced and her strength increased, she could now weigh pots and spoons without difficulty.

His posture was chic and handsome, and the four of them couldn't help but blink when they looked at him.

Qiu Lian murmured to herself with envy on her face, "You can do this for rice too!"

Aunt Lian smiled and said, "I have learned a lot secretly, and my cooking skills are also good!"

In fact, the food on this farm was not that rich that day, but it was just because the food was more elaborate during the New Year, and Fang Monan also carved and carved it.

Looking at the table full of dishes, the aroma is fragrant, the color is attractive, and the shape is beautiful, it makes people drool.[

Braised pork, braised pork ribs, smoked dried bacon, pork belly with pickled vegetables, kung pao chicken, pickled pepper beef, tomato stewed beef brisket. Braised prawns, boiled fish, garlic braised eel, steamed Wuchang fish, scallops and black bone chicken

, three-cup chicken, shredded apple, fish-flavored eggplant, mapo tofu.

Fang Monan also carved patterns with carrots and white radish and placed them on the plate to make them more beautiful.

When my grandma saw the flowers carved from carrots, she smiled and said, "This is really a carved carrot, whether you like it or eat it."

"Hehe..." Fang Monan scratched his head, "It's the festival! It's booming, it's a festive occasion!"

"Eat!" Grandma ordered, and everyone picked up their chopsticks and started to eat happily.

After the meal, Fang Monan and the others moved to the living room. Fang Monan looked at several gift boxes placed on the coffee table - mostly tea, but also tobacco and alcohol, "Tsk tsk... This is really a Chinese characteristic - unique

2." She frowned tightly, "These gift-givers are really good. The gifts should be sent to people's hearts. In this way... Dad and the others know that you don't drink or smoke, so why are you giving this to me?"

Fang Monan quickly opened the cigarette and wine box, "Look! Sure enough, there is something fishy hidden underneath!"

Everyone watched Fang Monan reveal the tricks. Others also started to open gifts. Some opened cigarettes and alcohol, some opened tea leaves, and some even opened beautifully packaged biscuit boxes. Some had tricks, and some were just simple.

Gifts, such as biscuits, you should know that dad has children at home who will definitely like to eat them.

Counting it down, it was 10,000 yuan! "What should I do?" Fang Monan asked with raised eyebrows. "Being an official means that you can make money quickly!"

"Nannan!" Dad yelled, suppressing his anger, "Why does this person want to take the wrong path instead of taking the right path?"

"Zhengping, why are you angry? This has happened since ancient times. My Nannan is right." My mother said protectively, "People have already done this. Why don't we talk about it!"

Han Zhiqian also said, "This is normal! The government's card payment is included in our public relations expenses."

Xiaomei smiled and said, "There is a saying, it costs 500 yuan to sign up, 1,000 yuan to sign up, and 10,000 yuan to get a hat."

"Hey! ** once said something like this: 'To govern a country is to govern officials, with propriety, justice and integrity. There are four dimensions of a country. If the four dimensions are not open, the country will not be a country. If all the ministers are shameless, corrupt and misbehaved, and the country has no way to govern them.

, then the world must be in chaos, and the people must regard Li Zicheng as Li Zicheng. How many years have passed!" Mr. Lin sighed with emotion.

Fang Monan stuck out his tongue and said, "The so-called governance means governing officials; that is, the governance and management of the cadre team. The purpose of governing officials is to govern the country. If the officials govern the country clearly, the country will be prosperous; if the officials govern the poor, the country will be poor, weak and backward.

, The common people make the people miserable. This is a truth that has been repeatedly proven by thousands of years of historical facts at home and abroad." This is child's play. Telling the seriousness of future generations now can scare people to death. Now more people don't believe it!

Mr. Lin patted his father on the shoulder and said, "Political corruption refers to the ugly phenomenon of corruption in the selection and appointment of people, but its core problem is too much selling off officials and titles. If you read the Twenty-Four Histories, you will find that each dynasty and each generation has different degrees of corruption.

This problem exists all over the world. Even if the officials govern the Qingming Dynasty like in the early Tang Dynasty, I think it exists in places where you can't see it."

Fang Monan agreed, "Human nature is like this. Open history books everywhere, and those written down and recorded in history are just a drop in the bucket. Public selling of officials first appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to historical records, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty opened his residence in the west to the public

For selling an official position, the official price is four million for four hundred stone officials, twenty million for two thousand stone officials, and five million to ten million for public officials and other officials. The county magistrate has different prices according to the fertility of the land in the county. The rich pay first, and the poor come first.

After becoming an official, you will pay double the amount."

Mr. Lin said solemnly, "The essence of this phenomenon of selling one's official position and buying one's official position can be summed up in four words: 'power-for-money transaction'; that is, buying official power with money, and then using official power to make a lot of money. Both parties involved are making huge profits."

Business. Therefore, many treacherous and profit-seeking people are following it like flies chasing its smell, like mosquitoes sucking blood, and they will never tire of it. If things go on like this, no matter how honest the politics is, it will turn into money politics, and no matter how clean the government is, it will turn into a stinking government. The whole

The government will form a treacherous party that controls power and uses public power for personal gain; loyal and good people are denounced, and they face a turbulent situation in which evil forces are powerless. The final result must be: the people who cannot survive can bear it and rise up one after another to rule in darkness.

Buried in the raging fury of the peasant uprising."

Dad said, "We definitely don't..." [

"Pfft..." The water in Xiaomei's mouth sprayed all over the floor. Han Zhiqian quickly wiped her with a tissue. "Sorry..." Xiaomei said shyly.

With the facts before our eyes, dad really can't tell lies with his eyes open.

Mr. Lin added, "It is terrible to govern officials and corrupt officials. It destroys the selection standards of officials (or cadres) and makes the principles and mechanisms of merit-based selection breed the 'selfish virus', causing the leaders and departments responsible for organizing personnel work to suffer from the disease."

'Visual confusion', so much so that he consciously uses the 'black and white way of understanding and employing people' at work."

"No wonder the officials are protecting each other, they are just grasshoppers on a rope!" My mother clicked her tongue.

Han Zhiqian said, "It poisons the social atmosphere, reverses the correct value orientation and moral concepts of society, and leads the people's thoughts and spirits into money worship, individualism, the pursuit of power and profit, and the pursuit of power for personal gain, causing the entire society to suffer."

Moral decline and mental decay'."

Fang Monan said, "The superstructure of society is infected with 'bone weakness', so that it becomes moldy and deteriorates, and eventually embarks on the path of people's death and government's demise."

The corruption in later generations is jaw-dropping. It can easily amount to hundreds of millions. You must know that these hundreds of millions are accumulated, not accumulated overnight. Why can you be promoted to a higher position? My mother is right, on a rope.

Just a grasshopper.

Naked officials are everywhere. Do you want officials to disclose their assets? The assets are all abroad! During the Republic of China, the "four major families" were corrupt! Their money was all deposited in the United States. However, it was permanently frozen by the United States in 1949 and was illegal in the United States.

According to American experts who study the history of the Republic of China, based on a small number of declassified files in the mid-1980s, the most conservative estimate is at least over 2 billion U.S. dollars. Don’t think it is small, because the purchasing power at that time was quite strong. Among them, Soong Meiling is famous

The total amount is 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, which does not include the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, and gold of unknown origin that are permanently frozen in the vault of the Bank of the United States. It can be seen that sooner or later, they will have to pay them back. That is the wealth of the people! Just let the Americans freeze

Now, the Chinese people can only look back and sigh. Americans are stupid, but Americans are not stupid! "Heshen fell, Jiaqing was full", but I don't know when those naked officials in later generations will return.

Throughout the ages, ** has always existed. ** is not scary. What is scary is ** in the whole society. In the past, the Kuomintang was the ** in the officialdom. There was no ** in academia, culture, the press, and the corporate world. It was everywhere. However, the most terrifying thing is still

It's not these, but the decline of society in later generations. It's because primary school students are educated: Mom gives the teacher a gift, otherwise it will be bad for me. Today we talk about fairness and justice here, and I feel that it is not good enough now. To the current kindergarten

When primary school students or middle school students come up, do they think this is very bad? I'm afraid not. They think everyone in this group is like this and have accepted this concept. This is the most terrifying thing.

"The most important thing now is how to solve these troubles." Mom counted the money on the table, "Our family is not short of money, so we don't need this."

"Killing cannot solve all problems, and not killing will only encourage the trend." Mr. Lin frowned and said, "Zhu Yuanzhang hated corruption, so his methods must be cruel! But corruption continued in the same way. Yongzheng copied the emperor's family, paid high salaries to support integrity, and still

It’s not the same.”

"Killing chickens to worship Buddha will not cure corruption! To govern a country, you must first govern the officials; then govern the people, and the officials will obey and support the people; if the country is strong, the enemy will attack it." Fang Monan said slowly.

"The key is to have the rule of law." Dad said, holding his forehead.

Rule of law! Can it really be cured? Human beings are inherently greedy at the beginning. People’s demands are very low. What we hate is not the rich, but unkindness; what we hate is not officials, but corruption; what we hate is not power, but injustice; what we hate is not power, but injustice.

The Prime Minister is a traitor to the country. What you are worried about is not food, but health; what you are worried about is not housing, but inflation; what you are afraid of is not haze, but pollution; what you are afraid of is not old age, but dependence.

Later generations don't know whether they can solve such a huge and complex project.

Fang Monan didn't pay attention to the follow-up of this matter. It's up to his father to solve it himself. There may be many problems in the future. It is up to him to choose whether to be an exception or to live in harmony with the world. No matter which path is taken, it is not easy.

Harmony with light and dust is originally a concept in Laozi's "Tao Te Ching". Laozi advocates success and retirement, that is, not taking credit and not excessively pursuing fame and fortune. He believes that this is the way of heaven. The so-called way of heaven, such as the sun, menstruation, and heaven

, day and night, cold and summer, autumn and winter, it naturally completes its life mission, and then quietly disappears, leaving no trace. So in life, how can we achieve appropriate movement and stillness?

Nothing to lose?

A famous saying from Buddhism: The lofty will fall, accumulation will dissipate; happy gatherings will end in separation, and life will eventually die. What does it mean? The higher you climb, the harder you fall, and it is extremely cold at high places. When you go to the extreme, things will turn to their extremes.

, this is a natural principle. The more it accumulates, the faster it dissipates. We all come and go naked, who can care about it? It doesn’t matter if you care or not. Anyway, you can’t take anything with you! Even if it’s gold and silver,

, Isn’t the joy in vain? A long tent has been built thousands of miles away. There is no feast that never ends. A beautiful wife, a beautiful concubine, a filial son, and a virtuous grandson will eventually have to say goodbye to you. Because we are all sentient beings, and we must die! This is natural.

Truth. But who can remember these simple truths? rs!!!
