At the banquet, a large pot of stewed beef with potatoes was placed in front of Lin Fei. The fragrance kept floating out and entered Cheng Yaojin and the others 'noses.
Other than Cheng Yaojin, everyone present was still stable and there was nothing unusual. Only Cheng Yaojin stared at the pot of potato stewed beef in front of Lin Fei.
She couldn't help but want to try it, but when she thought of what Lin Fei had said at the door, she was too embarrassed to eat.
Seeing such a large pot of stewed beef with potatoes placed in front of him, Lin Fei lost his appetite. He sighed and put down his chopsticks.
"Actually, it's not that I don't know that you're thinking for the sake of the people. It's not that I don't understand. I also know that if we keep one more of these things, we can cultivate more potatoes.”
After hearing Lin Fei's words, Cheng Yaojin also put down his chopsticks. His eyes were all focused on Lin Fei's body, ready to see how Lin Fei would explain.
Seeing their expressions, Lin Fei knew that they still did not understand the truth. However, he could not blame them. After all, in this era, no one wanted to go over and do a public opinion survey, nor would anyone be idle enough to investigate the people's ability to accept new things. All of this was due to the restrictions of the era, and society was not open enough.
"Let me ask you, if you were ordinary people and could only rely on the crops in the fields to feed your family, would you believe it if someone told you to plant a new type of grain in your fields and told you that it would definitely produce high yield?”
After hearing Lin Fei's question, Cheng Yaojin and the others lowered their heads and thought. Suddenly, Qin Shubao raised his head and asked Lin Fei,"Are you saying that if we give these potatoes to the people now and let them plant them, they won't plant them?”
Lin Fei shook his head and said,"It's not that they don't want to plant it. They just don't dare to win. If they can't grow food, their entire family will starve to death. Therefore, the common people can't afford to lose."”
After hearing Lin Fei's explanation, everyone finally understood why Lin Fei was so angry just now. The dissatisfaction in their hearts towards Lin Fei also disappeared. Li Jing even stood up and apologized to Lin Fei.
"It's not your fault. You're also thinking for the sake of the people. It's just that in the future, when doing things, especially such a major matter, you should investigate before making a conclusion.”Lin Fei said with a smile.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin and the others 'puzzled eyes, Lin Fei explained,"This is just like how you march and fight. Before a big war, you will first eliminate the possibility of complaints and investigate the enemy's situation. On such a major event, why don't you think about understanding the thoughts of the people first?”
Lin Fei knew that they were all generals. Marching and fighting were their strengths. Asking them to consider the thoughts of the common people was tantamount to playing the lute to a cow. Therefore, he explained to them from the military perspective. This way, they would definitely understand.
Sure enough, when Cheng Yaojin heard Lin Fei's words, his eyes widened. After thinking carefully, it seemed like that was the case.
"There's a saying that goes, without investigation, there's no right to speak. It means that before we do anything, we have to investigate the ins and outs of the matter before making a decision.”
After Cheng Yaojin and the others heard Lin Fei's words, they were filled with admiration. They raised their wine glasses one by one and toasted Lin Fei. Lin Fei did not refuse.
After resolving the unhappiness in his heart, Cheng Yaojin finally didn't have to endure it. He ruthlessly attacked the pot of potato stewed beef in front of Lin Fei. Qin Shubao and the others didn't hold back either. In the end, if Lin Fei hadn't acted quickly, the pot would have been snatched by them.
After everyone shared a pot of stewed beef with potatoes, they were still not satisfied. However, after knowing that Lin Fei had already taken out all the potatoes in the house, they gave up on the idea.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone sat in the hall to digest their food. At this time, Cheng Yaojin suddenly asked in a low voice,"Lin Fei, why does the emperor not punish you every time he sees you? Is there a secret here? Old Cheng, I have been punished by the emperor many times. Can you pass on some experience to me?”
Cheng Yaojin's voice was not loud, just enough to reach everyone in the hall. Everyone stretched their ears, ready to hear if Lin Fei really had any secret.
I'm wondering if there's really a problem. Are the collections all fake? I don't believe that they're all fake, so I hope that my brothers can give us a few comments and a few flowers to prove that our book is being read.
Finally, he said yesterday that he was going to release more updates, but this matter fell through.!!
