Su You said: "Sir, we won't sell this fish."

The master said: "Why don't you sell it? How about giving it to me?"

Su You said to several of his companions: "I don't think my in-laws will blame us. Why don't we sell this gentleman one tail?"

Zhang San said: "It all depends on the young master's decision."

Su You then said to the master: "Well, I'll give you 800 yuan each."

The master jumped up and said, "That's unreasonable! You, a fish, cost four hundred coins per catty? At such a young age, you first use words to catch me, and then blackmail me, right? One hundred coins is worth the weight of the sky!"

The old vegetable seller hadn't left yet and couldn't help but interrupt: "The young master of the Su family is not that kind of person..."

The master pointed at the old vegetable seller and shouted: "Shut up, old slave!"

Su You looked at the master and sneered: "Looking at you wearing a t-shirt, I thought you were a sensible person, but you are rude to the elders. Then I won't sell this fish."

The master raised his eyebrows: "Everything in the world cannot be explained by a single word. If you had said no to selling before, that's up to you. But if you want to deceive people like this now and don't learn well at a young age, you must know that there are still laws of heaven."

King’s method!”

At this point Su You roughly understood: "Judging from your accent, you are from Jiazhou, right? Are you a litigator by profession?"

The man was not ashamed but proud. He shook his head and said: "I am proficient in legal principles, but I am valued by the elders of Jiazhou. They often ask me to express their opinions when they have something to do. Just let me have this fish today. Otherwise, I will never go to the yamen."

Last time."

More and more people were surrounding him. Seeing that this man was unforgiving, some tried to persuade him.

Unexpectedly, this person became more and more energetic in his persuasion, and his words were so eloquent that he had the potential to fight with other scholars.

Su You stopped everyone and sneered at the man: "I came to Meishan City to lecture on legal principles. Did you know that the scholars in Meishan always have legal codes in their homes?"

"First of all, the contract between us is not established, and there are all the witnesses."

"Secondly, even if it is successful, let me ask you, if you know the value of the subject matter, but intend to deceive the other party and get it at a low price, how will our emperor, the Song Dynasty Law Conference, judge it?"

"I hear your accent is from Jiazhou. There are Jiazhou fish in Jiazhou, which are very rare and the most beautiful fish in the river. Its color is like black ink, with a dragon body and swallow tail, and two straight fins. In spring, it rises under the stone bottom of Qingyi River.

, the fishmen stabbed it with fire. Rich families rushed to buy it and sold it for thousands of dollars.'"

"This kind of fish has a suction cup on the lower abdomen of its mouth, so it can be firmly attached to river rocks and is not afraid of rapids. There is a poem praising this: 'Stubbornly standing on the sand, standing like a black flag.'"

After speaking, he lifted up the Jiayu in his hand: "Look, everyone, is this the Jiayu mentioned in "Jiazhou Customs"? The Jiayu stabbed to death by fishermen is worth thousands of dollars, not to mention that our fish are alive and kicking?

"

"When you see that we are sending the fish to honor our elders, you think that we are not knowledgeable enough to recognize the fish. But you don't know that in Meishan, a place of ethics and ethics, the best things must be left to our elders."

"The intention is to deceive us when we are young, and to take advantage without saying anything. When things don't work out, they want to stir up disputes and confuse right and wrong."

"I would like to advise you, when you go out, you must be careful in your actions and words, and don't be greedy for cheap words! Don't embarrass you Jiazhou people, okay?"

"That's beautifully said! Gui'er is ashamed of my Jiazhou people's skin! What a handsome young man!" The crowd around him suddenly cheered and made noises.

The master became so angry that his skills as a litigant were actually lost to a mere child. He immediately raised his hand and said, "I'll beat you to death..."

Then his hand was grabbed by a big hand, which made him scream in pain, but it was a porter on the pier.

Another boatman went up and kicked him in the crotch: "You dare to hit the young master of the Su family? You must know that I, the elders, do not recognize your legal principles with their fists!"

Others also started shouting: "Beat him! He beats people when he loses control, even children!"

"Yes! Beat him up! We still don't know what kind of person the young master is who respects his elders and does good deeds so much. We can't let him be bullied by the lawsuit stick!"

"Yes, doesn't he want to see the official? Send him to see the official!"

Seeing the public outrage, the master was so frightened that he quickly got up and did not dare to say a word. He lowered his head and hurried back to the boat, not daring to show his head again.

Su You offered his hand to the crowd around him: "Thank you to all the fellow villagers and guests for speaking up and helping us, otherwise we would have been bullied by bad people today."

The boatman refused at first: "How dare he! Just because the young master makes us boatmen and porters suffer so much and can afford a bowl of broth a day to dispel dampness and coldness, he is the benefactor of my fellow river gang members. There is no reason to die."

Those who took advantage were bullied! Young master, if you have any trouble on the pier in the future, just shout and if you don’t gather the disciples of No. 30 or 50 He Gang, then my Sanjiang He Gang has lost its virtue!"

…

On the bamboo raft going back, Su Xiaomei looked at Su You with admiration: "Brother is great, he defeated that bad guy!"

Su You turned around and said: "Little sister, it wasn't my brother who defeated him. You saw what happened today. Before we had the strength, even if we were on the right side, others could bully you at will. Just saying that can't be bullied.

To persuade unreasonable people, at the critical moment, you have to rely on the big feet of the boatman."

Su Xiaomei was very curious: "The Sanjiang River Gang that the boatman uncle mentioned, is that Sanjiang?"

Su You said: "In Jiazhou, on the Dadu River, Minjiang River, and Qingyi River, it is probably the people who make a living by running boats on these three rivers."

Labor-intensive industries are the easiest place for gangs to form. Su You estimates that there are already prototypes of the Shangxiahe Gang in Sichuan.

Then he said: "We still need to read more and study more. If I hadn't seen the description of Jiayu today in the book, wouldn't it have been deceived by bad people? They won't think that they did anything wrong and took advantage of us.

They only make fun of our stupidity."

"Therefore, we are just trying to make it so that no one can bear to be bullied, and then we have to gradually make it so that no one can be bullied, and finally we can make it so that no one dares to bully us."

"Where to start? Start with learning. Be reasonable before being reasonable, study things and then gain knowledge. Starting today, everyone will learn with me!"

Back at the Tutu Temple, Su You called Gou Sheng and asked him to lead the internal affairs team to plaster a flat wall with clay in front of the Tutu Temple, then mix the clay with soot and apply a layer to make a blackboard.

The chore team cut bamboo pipes with holes as small as a little finger, then poured sand into them and rubbed them with small wooden sticks to polish the inner walls of the bamboo pipes.

I fry the gypsum in a clay pot until the gypsum starts to undulate, which is when it is cooked. After cooling, add a certain amount of lime and add water to make a paste.

Then insert a bamboo tube into the pot, block the bamboo tube with your index finger and lift it up, and a tube of gypsum paste will be stored in the tube.

Insert the bamboo tube on the clay board and fix it. Soon you will have a clay board bamboo tube.

Wait until the gypsum mud inside the bamboo tube solidifies, then cut the bamboo tube open to cut out pieces of chalk.

The blackboard couldn't be used today, so Su You wrote on the mud wall next to the Tutu Temple.

Call everyone back: "From now on, at noon every day, I will teach you some little knowledge. These little knowledge will also be used in daily production and life."

"Today we will start with the simplest number recognition."

"This is one. The words are too complicated. We won't remember it today. Let's remember this first. One, it's like a stick, right?"

"Then we put it up. This is the 1 in Sanskrit. Look, we remember two ones in a blink of an eye, so literacy is not difficult, right?"

A group of kids were brainwashed into nodding.

"Okay, let's write two next, two sticks...Do you think of the Sanskrit word 2 as a duck? We can think of it as a mandarin duck. Do the mandarin ducks all appear in pairs, two by two?"

"Three, three sticks... Three in Sanskrit, if you look sideways, does it look like Toad Yishan?"

"Four, four squares...the Sanskrit word four, does it look like you raise your hand, open it, and then cross your thumb, let's count how many fingers are left on your hand?"

As Su You explained, the children nodded, and they all started counting in unison: "One, two, three, four... there are four fingers left!"

"Okay, let's continue reading. The word "五" looks like a fishing boat, and Sanskrit looks like a fishing hook..."

"Remember everything? Next, we memorize a chant, which is about Sanskrit numbers one to nine. The first is a stick; the second is a little duck; the third is a toad mountain; the fourth is to raise the finger; and the fifth is to catch a golden perch.
