Chapter 125 To the ninth brother

【original】 Around Yuanfu's ninth younger brother: Come to the camp on the 11th, Anwu, and send a letter to my family. I understand that I have received it. To run an army, you must always be down-to-earth. There is only true meaning, but there is no decoration to convey it, and the true meaning has nothing to entrust it to come out. It is said in the etiquette that "you can't do without literature", and you don't talk about decorations in your life. , should be considered at any time. I heard that there is still a surplus of silver in my navy's grain platform. My brother's camp is not busy at this time, so there is no need to go to the settlement. If the gentry and the people are really displaced, they can also donate freely. My brother was in the camp in the past, and it was very difficult. Back then, I couldn't let go. I still regret doing one thing. If my younger brother has a place where I can give alms, I can still get two thousand taels of silver to go to the navy's grain platform, and I have to let go of the entertainment, especially for gentlemen and common people. (14th day of the first month of the eighth year of Xianfeng)

【Note】 ① Jin Jie: contact. 【Translation】 Around Yuanfu's ninth younger brother: I came to the camp on the 12th of the 12th and sent a letter from my family. I understand that I have received it. To manage the army, you must keep your feet on the ground and start with small things. Treating each other is not enough to touch people, but if there is only sincerity without language and words to move people, then sincerity cannot be expressed. This is what the "Li" said, "Without literary beauty, travel is not far away". I have not paid attention to literary decoration in my life, and it will not work everywhere.

I heard that there is still a surplus of silver in the Liangtai of the Navy Division. The younger brother's army camp is not short of silver now, so there is no need to transfer the silver there.My elder brother used to be in the military camp, and it was extremely difficult. At the beginning, I couldn't let go of one thing, and I still regret it. Gentlemen and ordinary people should let go especially. (The fourteenth day of the eighth lunar month in Xianfeng)
