When Xiangling saw that it was an old acquaintance, she decisively invited him into the house.
"No need, I have something to do today, so let's stay outside."
"Ah this..."
Xiangling was a little embarrassed.
There are so many seats outside, isn't it a bit inappropriate for her to just add another table?
"Xiangling, add them. There are two tables in the room. You can move them out. It will be convenient for other people to come and eat. This is the Wanmin Hall."
Chef Mao, who was concentrating on stir-frying the food in the wok, gave a few instructions to Xiangling without even turning his head.
"Okay daddy!"
Soon, a few more tables were added outside Wanmin Hall.
In the blink of an eye, the place was full of people.
"Ms. Xiangling, please stay."
Zhongli called out to Xiangling who was about to leave.
"Has Wanmintang's business been so booming recently?"
"Yeah, that's right. Ever since the salary in Liyue Harbor increased, there has never been a shortage of people coming to eat. Moreover, people laugh louder while eating than before! However, there are also more drunkards, and we have to trouble the Qianyan Army to send them back every day."
The second half of the sentence was whispered by Xiangling to Zhongli as she leaned over.
"I see."
Zhongli nodded.
"I don't have any more questions. Miss Xiangling, please go ahead and do your work."
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
Xiangling turned around and went to help Chef Mao cook.
At this time, the sound of conversation could be heard from the table where Zhongli and his group had just sat down.
"Brothers, how do you plan to spend your wages?"
Zhongli and the others turned their heads slightly to look.
"As for me, I plan to apply for annual leave after I get my salary next month and go to Guiliyuan to have a look. I have never left Liyue Harbor in my life. Why don't you try to travel around and see the scenery of Liyue?"
"As for me, I don't have any plans. I'll just have two good meals. My child is getting older and it's time for him to go to school. I have to prepare more for him. I can't let him lose at the starting line."
"Eh? Brother Liu, you saved money a while ago to buy your child some random enlightenment books? Why do you want more now?"
"That was before. One enlightenment book was not enough. Now that we have money, I and a few brothers around us are thinking about it. In addition to the school, we are also planning to hire a teacher to tutor the children in our area!"
"Ah this..."
The man was apparently stunned for a moment.
The child of Brother Liu seems to be only three years old?
The child is only three years old and you already have a teacher for early childhood education?
"I am neither good at literature nor martial arts, so I am here to hawk my wares. When I was young, no one wanted me when I went to the Chamber of Commerce. The literature ones thought I couldn't count and talk, and the martial ones thought I was too weak to deal with monsters.
I don't want my child to end up like this. When he grows up, I will find him a master and let him learn martial arts together. He will be proficient in both literature and martial arts, and he will have more options in the future."
silence.
It seems that Brother Liu’s children will not have an easy life in the future.
We observed a moment of silence for Brother Liu’s children.
Zhongli, Grandma Ping and Yanfei all heard their conversation.
Zhongli turned his head back and looked at Yan Fei.
"How about it now, have you figured it out?"
Chapter 65 Ahahahaha, chicken soup is here
Yan Fei was still thinking, silent.
Zhongli and Grandma Ping were not in a hurry either. Instead, they drank tea and chatted about their own topics.
Well, the food at Wanmin Hall is indeed good, but the tea is always a little inferior.
Never mind. After all, it is "Wanmin Hall". If we choose some fine tea leaves, I'm afraid there will be no Wanmin.
"Ahahaha, here comes the chicken soup~"
Master Mao brought a clay pot to the table.
Behind Master Mao, Xiangling placed plates of food on the table in front of Zhongli.
"Okay, Mr. Zhongli, it's all your 'old rules'. However, your 'slowly cooked pickled pork with preserved vegetables' will have to wait for a while."
"It doesn't matter."
Zhongli agreed and looked at the chicken soup on the table with some curiosity.
"Today's chicken soup is served very quickly."
"Ahaha, that's right. There have been too many people coming recently, and we're a little too busy. We simply prepared some common slow-cooking dishes in advance. Not to mention, the demand is far from meeting the supply. We often serve the dishes right after they're cooked, and it doesn't affect the taste at all."
Zhongli nodded after hearing this.
A very common method, but very useful.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's what I should do. I'm open for business here, and everyone has paid Mora."
"Then, enjoy your meal. I won't bother you any more."
"Walk slowly."
After seeing off Master Mao and Xiangling, Zhongli looked at Yan Fei again.
There was already a hint of understanding on her face.
"Laws, in the final analysis, serve people. To make life easier for the people of Liyue and to make their lives better is the meaning of laws. These people are naturally the majority of people. Therefore, laws should also be based on the majority of people."
Zhong Li spoke out a reminder.
For him as a god and immortals like Grandma Ping, the essence of the law is correct.
"only……"
Zhongli changed the subject.
"In the society of Liyue people, the process of making and enforcing laws is bound to be influenced by various aspects, and sometimes it is inevitable that the law will serve a minority of people.
From the perspective of universal reason, this state is not the meaning of the law.
As long as you understand these points, Miss Yan Fei may have some ideas for your problem. "
At this moment, Yan Fei was thinking about Zhongli's words, and the conversation of the workers just now echoed in her ears.
She could see that the joy was genuine.
When Brother Liu mentioned his child, well... although she also felt that it was a bit early for the child to start tutoring at the age of three, but, isn't this also a kind of happy trouble?
She felt this should not be broken.
"I understand."
Yanfei nodded.
"Mr. Zhongli, grandma, I know what to do."
"Okay, I understand. I understand. Okay, let's talk about work later. Let's eat first."
Grandma Ping nodded and picked up the chopsticks first.
Zhongli also picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating when he suddenly remembered something and stopped the chopsticks.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
As soon as Grandma Ping took a bite, she saw Zhongli looking dazed.
Zhongli frowned and shook his head, but did not respond directly.
"Grandma, Mr. Zhongli seems to be thinking about something, so we should not disturb him."
Yan Fei came forward and whispered.
"Oh, okay, okay."
Grandma Ping said this, but in fact she put down her chopsticks and observed Zhongli's movements.
Yan Fei felt a little strange.
Why does it feel like this dinner party is actually centered around Mr. Zhongli?
It is clear that Grandma Ping is the oldest one, and she was the immortal who followed the Emperor back then!
Mr. Zhongli, what is your identity?
Seeing this scene, Yan Fei fell into thought again.
But this time it is a reflection on Zhongli's identity.
The reason why Zhongli paused at this moment was because he thought of a detail.
According to him and the immortals, the laws of Liyue are meant to serve all the people of Liyue and should prioritize the interests of the majority.
However, according to the practices of the Seven Stars and the practice over the past thousand years, Liyue's laws were mostly made by merchants and serve Liyue merchants.
Many times, for the benefit of businessmen, the interests of the majority of ordinary people would be harmed. Sometimes things went too far and could not be corrected, so he had to personally make instructions for changes at the ceremony of inviting the immortals.
So... is the essence of the law really as he thought, to serve the people of Liyue?
Perhaps, this is just a manifestation of the law?
But why does the law manifest itself differently in the hands of different people?
If this is the case, then the essence...
[It is the will of the "Superior".]
Zhongli suddenly realized this problem.
He and the immortals hope that all living beings in Liyue Harbor will be well, so when he uses his divine power to make laws for Liyue Harbor, Liyue's laws will focus on this aspect.
As the immortals retired, he changed the frequency of coming down to provide guidance only once a year, and the merchants headed by the Seven Stars took on the rest of the work. It was also after this that more and more changes were made for the interests of the merchants.
In the past, these two things have never been linked together.
And today, thanks to Yan Fei's question, he connected the two things together and truly saw the mystery behind them.
He had not thought about this issue seriously for thousands of years and just thought it was an ordinary little thing in the development process.
And now it seems to be just a small matter, probably because he is still here.
He suddenly felt worried again.
In his view, the law is also a kind of contract.
And asking people to follow contracts is just a hope that people will follow fairness.
It’s a pity that some people don’t always realize it.
Now he finds that some people are aware of it, but the choice they make may be to change the contract.
Is Mora's attraction so strong?
He unconsciously began to associate this concern with all aspects, and even began to go beyond the law.
Zhongli looked at "Brother Liu" at the table next to him.
When the other party mentioned his child, you could see clearly that he hoped his young child could have a bright future, but was also afraid that his child might not be able to achieve his wish.
Zhongli felt that he and this brother named Liu were quite similar.
However, his children represent the entire Liyue and the millions of people of Liyue.
