Chapter 1210 This explains it clearly

Different ages, different experiences, and completely different views on things.

From Lei Hongwu's perspective, it is best to keep the big fish. They will suppress those who want to get promoted for the sake of position, so there is no need to repeatedly compete with one big fish after another.

But from Lei Zhen's perspective, what he killed were the big fish, because big fish have more meat, and every time he killed one batch, another batch would come up, so there would be big fish to eat every day.

Both of their views are correct, it’s just a matter of perspective.

In fact, this is also the case between many fathers and sons. The older generation has its own views, and the younger generation has its own persistence. It is really hard to say who is right or wrong.

"I'm still young, only 21 years old, and you want me to release the big fish and eat the small fish? My dear father, how many bowls of rice can you eat now?"

"Two bowls, please."

“How many bowls could you eat when you were 21?”

"At least six bowls."

"That's all. I'm young and there's nothing wrong with having a big appetite."

There is nothing wrong with having a big appetite when you are young. There is nothing wrong with what you said. If you are not competitive when you are young, do you have to wait until you are old to compete for victory or defeat?

You should do things according to your age; if you make a mistake, it will be a joke.

Being arrogant when young is youth, being arrogant when old is scamming people, this can't be messed up.

"Lei Zhen, Lao Huo is actually someone from a higher-up position." Lei Hongwu changed the subject.

"Up there? You mean..."

Lei Zhen's eyes lit up. No wonder Director Huo was so powerful. It turned out that he was someone from above.

"Yes, he is from a prominent family." Lei Hongwu took a puff of cigarette and said, "The world we live in is mainly composed of families. The upper level is divided into two parts: famous families and prominent families."

"What about the top of the top?"

"How can there be anything above that? Even if there is, it's not for me to know. At least I have to enter a prestigious family to get a glimpse of it. Just like me being a teacher in this world, I have the opportunity to know the next level because I am the bridge connecting the two worlds."

"Are they all immortal cultivators?"

"What the hell?"

"Immortal cultivator, don't you understand?"

"Son, do you still have time to read novels?"

"I'm just asking..."

The rhetorical question was like a fatal blow, which completely killed Lei Zhen's interest.

He still remembers the old man that Long Shu brought with him to Yananju in Hui'an. He pressed his palm on the table and the solid wood table broke into pieces.

People were really shocked at that time, so much so that Lei Zhen extremely suspected that it was an immortal cultivator. Even if it was not an immortal cultivator, it was at least a cultivator.

"They can be said to be cultivators. They practice Qi." Lei Hongwu said after careful consideration: "I don't know much about traditional martial arts, but I know that it is also divided into levels, external strength and internal strength. For example, Lao Huo and his family practice internal strength, while the families here practice external strength. The difference between the two is huge."

This explanation makes it clear.

The upper level is still a family system, but it is one level higher than this world.

Simply put, the training is the same, the only difference is the internal strength and external strength. It seems similar, but the difference is huge.

Anyone can practice external strength.

Even if you don't have the necessary conditions, you can just bang your head against a wall every day. Over time, you will develop external strength.

Internal strength is different. It is something that is passed down from generation to generation and must be taught by someone, otherwise you won’t be able to get started at all. In a sense, it is similar to traditional Chinese medicine.

We know many uses of Chinese medicine, for example, we can use Cynomorium songaricum, Cistanche deserticola, Epimedium, Lycium barbarum, etc. to make a cup of health tea for ourselves.

Does it work?

It is definitely effective and guaranteed to work.

But the consequences are also serious, and nosebleeds are very likely.

If you don't want serious consequences, you have to learn how to mix it. If you want the best effect, one gram less will not achieve the desired effect, and one gram more will have side effects.

Moreover, it is necessary to find out how old the medicinal materials are, where they are produced, the patient's physical condition, age, eating habits, etc.

Chinese medicine, one person, one person.

We can learn some about the effects of Chinese medicine from the Internet, but if we want to really get into it, we have no idea how to do it without the guidance of a master.

This is what is meant by the internal and external strength of traditional martial arts.

External strength is easy to train, but internal strength is difficult to develop. Unless you have a master to guide you, even if you develop a little bit, it may not be a good thing, because if you do not train it correctly, there will be side effects.

"Is Uncle Huo going back?" Lei Zhen asked.

"Once you get out, you're an outsider. You can't go back." Lei Hongwu sighed and said, "He was sent by the higher-ups to monitor and protect me. Someone else will come after you've settled down, sir."

"That's right." Lei Zhen nodded.

Since your position is so important, of course someone from above has to be sent.

The reason why she hasn't moved is probably a test for herself. After everything is done, the higher-ups will naturally send people to assist and protect her to ensure that the chosen gentleman is under their control.

"Dad, how is your relationship with Uncle Huo now?"

"family."

The word "family" explains everything.

Maybe it might be a misjudgment for others, but for the king of agents, these two words represent absolute trust.

Year after year, although I didn't win over Director Huo, I at least won his heart.

Brothers treat each other like family.

"By the way, I've proposed marriage for you." Lei Hongwu said, "If the higher-ups agree, then the person who will come down to help you will most likely be Long Shu."

"Are you really proposing marriage? Thanks, Dad! Hehe..."

"What's so fun about that? Long Shu is almost as old as your mother. Even though she looks like a young girl, her age is still there."

"I don't need motherly love, can I?"

"Okay, you're grown up now, and I haven't encountered many of the things you've experienced, so just make your own decisions. I'm completely relieved."

"Dad! Can I ask you for one more favor?"

"roll!"

"Okay, you go fishing first, and we'll talk tonight."

“…”

There was not much information revealed from Lei Hongwu, but it was very valuable to Lei Zhen.

Why did he reveal Director Huo's identity? Perhaps it was because he felt the time and opportunity were almost there, and what needed to be said had to be said.

Above the family are the prominent families, divided by strength.

The upward force is internal strength, and the downward force is external strength. The levels are quite clear and appropriate.

Each of them is supported by the upper level. Perhaps the big families here, such as the Jiang family, the Lu family, etc., are just servants of others when they reach the upper level.

For example, the founder of the Qin Dynasty originally raised horses for the Zhou emperor.

It's all layer upon layer, nothing more than micro and macro.

The section level, division level, bureau level, etc. that we can touch, see, and hear about are at the micro level; the dark web, consortium, etc. that we cannot touch are at the macro level.

Most of the time, people believe in the microscopic because they can see it with their own eyes.

The macro world is too mysterious for us. Unless we reach a certain level, we cannot see it at all.

"If you're not a cultivator, then it's not interesting or challenging. I also want to see if the pumpkin can break their shield..."

Lei Zhen was very disappointed, but he could accept it.

He is now going to see Director Huo and must find out the relationships with the higher-ups.
