Chapter 665 Introduction to Xianxue(1/2)
The Confucian scholars in Qi and Lu were really angry today. In their view, Mr. Zou simply surrendered.
In the past, Mr. Zou was generous and generous, and asked for life for the people. What kind of good person was he? Why did everything suddenly change?
I heard that the banished immortal has the ability to infect others. It makes others become as shameless as the banished immortal. In the past, people didn't believe it and thought this was a bit too mysterious.
But now looking at Mr. Zou, the Confucian scholars really have some ideas in their minds.
Is this shamelessness really contagious?
If it is not contagious, what happened to Mr. Zou? How to explain this living example?
If shamelessness is indeed contagious, how is it contagious?
The Confucian scholars were puzzled, and finally decided to try their best to save Mr. Zou.
Even if Mr. Zou was a little shameless just now, even if Mr. Zou talks about vulgar money, it is disgusting.
However, Mr. Zou was once an upright and kind-hearted person after all. Maybe he just went astray today. Before he gets too deep, there may be a chance to save him.
Thinking of this, the Confucian scholars said to Master Zou with emotion on their faces: "We remember that you used to value justice over profit and was a very good person. What has happened recently? Why is this so?"
The concerned faces of the Confucian scholars made Mr. Zou feel very unhappy, as if he had committed some heinous crime and was waiting for others to save him.
Mr. Zou said quietly: "I learned these things from you Confucian scholars."
The Confucian scholars in Qi and Lu were immediately stunned, and then they started to get angry. They pointed at Lord Zou and said, "It's just for no reason. Please don't slander us. When did we do such a thing?"
Mr. Zou laughed and said to the Confucian scholars: "It is true that you have not done such a thing, but didn't Chunyu Yue do it? Isn't Chunyu Yue your Confucian leader?"
Master Zou mentioned that Chun Yuyue's purpose was to use his spear to attack his shield. That means, look, all the leaders among you Confucian scholars are doing this kind of thing, and you are still talking about me?
Mr. Zou kept talking, and said with a bit of pride: "How much profit has Chunyu Yue made recently? I once helped him calculate a bill. In the inn alone, we welcome people and send them to and from them every day..."
Before Mr. Zou finished speaking, those Confucian scholars became anxious and said angrily: "How can this be true? How can it be true? Chunyu Yue is not as good as a pig or a dog, how can he be regarded as a Confucian leader?"
Mr. Zou was slightly startled: "Isn't Chunyu Yue a doctor in the imperial court..."
The Confucian scholars snorted coldly: "Doctor is a piece of shit. He has now degenerated and is no longer a Confucian scholar."
Mr. Zou looked confused: "Dr. Chunyu, is he no longer a Confucian scholar? Doesn't he want to be a Confucian scholar anymore?"
Confucian scholars from Qi and Lu sneered: "It's not a question of whether he wants to do it or not, but a question of whether we let him do it."
"Chun Yuyue was shameless and associates with shameless people like Huai Guzi. We have expelled him. From now on, he is no longer a Confucian scholar."
Mr. Zou looked confused: "Is this okay?"
After the discussion on Chun Yuyue, the Confucian scholars looked at Mr. Zou with sincere faces: "Don't go astray like Chun Yuyue."
Master Zou asked curiously: "How can I be a merchant without going astray?"
The Confucian scholars were a little impatient: "Didn't I tell you clearly and clearly just now?"
"Being a businessman, you will definitely run out of money and only seek profit. How many gentlemen can there be in such a person? Most of them are villains."
Mr. Zou said: "But if Chunyu Yue did not become a merchant, Chunyu Inn would no longer exist. The people who got off the train were tired, hungry, hungry and thirsty. What should they do?
Are you going to sleep on the street?”
"It's okay to have a hot summer day. What if it's the coldest days of the year and the twelfth lunar month of winter? If one or two people freeze to death, is this the benevolence that you all remember so much?"
The Confucian scholars were slightly stunned. They did not expect that Mr. Zou could actually refute their own views.
However, among all the schools of thought, who is not good at debating? These Confucian scholars suddenly became energetic and wanted to debate Master Zou.
They said: "Master Zou is wrong. If there were no Chunyu Hotel, wouldn't those travelers have nowhere to stay? I don't think so."
"After they get off the train, they can find a farmer, give them some money, and stay for one night. In this way, those poor people get money, and pedestrians also have a place to stay. Isn't it great? It's better than
Wouldn't it be much better to let Chunyu Yue earn the money?"
Mr. Zou exclaimed: "So it can be like this."
The Confucian scholars were a little proud.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Zou said: "However, there is still one thing I don't understand. What if some bad guys pretend to be pedestrians and live in the homes of nearby people."
"At night, in the dead of night, this gangster suddenly attacks, kills all the owner's family, and then takes away the property. What should I do?"
Confucian scholar: "Huh?"
Mr. Zou added: "Or maybe the people in the farmhouse today are not good people. They usually idle around and do not do their jobs properly."
"What if he suddenly sees that the new guest has abundant supplies, so he has evil thoughts, kills the guest, and takes away his belongings?"
"Anyway, the guest has come from afar and no one knows him. Even if he is killed, no one knows about it, so what?"
The Confucian scholars were stunned.
They thought for a long time and then said: "But hasn't it been like this since ancient times? When you go out, you have to stay in a nearby farmhouse."
"It's inherently dangerous to go out."
Mr. Zou chuckled: "Is this true since ancient times? Since ancient times, there has never been an emperor. Do you want your Majesty to..."
The Confucian scholars all turned pale with fright. They suddenly discovered that Master Zou's speaking skills seemed a bit familiar. They were very similar to the habits of that shameless man Huai Guzi.
Fortunately, Master Zou did not delve into the issue of rebellion. He said calmly: "Now, we have Chunyu Hotel. Chunyu Hotel is Master Chunyu's property. Each hotel has a specific mark.
Everyone who stays there will get a piece of paper with the location of hotels across the country."
"In this way, we don't have to worry about people who do evil things pretending to be someone else."
"Dr. Chunyu is a great scholar in the world and an important minister in the court. He will definitely not do things like killing people and stealing goods."
"And all the pedestrians are staying in the inn, so no one bothers the farmers. If someone knocks on the farmer's door in the middle of the night and lies about wanting to stay overnight, he is most likely a gangster."
"In this way, both farmers and guests are safe, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
The Confucian scholars were speechless. They always felt that something was wrong here.
But they couldn't figure out what was wrong.
At this time, a Confucian scholar had an idea and finally figured out what was wrong with it.
He said to Mr. Zou: "Originally, the people were very poor. They could get some money to subsidize their families by relying on the customers. Although it was a little dangerous, they made money after all."
"But what now? They have lost their way to make money. Now they are indeed safe, but what is the use of such safety? They were indeed not killed by thieves, but they were killed by poverty. Isn't it still a death?
"
Mr. Zou laughed loudly and said to the Confucian scholar: "I said before that you stick to your study and have no knowledge of affairs. You are still not convinced. Now isn't it confirmed?"
"Do you think, where do the waiters in Chunyu's Inn come from? Where do the people who serve the inn's food and drinks come from? Where do the people who tidy up the guests' rooms come from?"
"These are all recruited from nearby farmhouses. They stay at Chunyu Inn and make much more money than before. Moreover, their income is stable and there is no risk."
"This is true kindness to the local people. As you just said, let the people risk their lives to make a little money."
"Isn't human life more valuable than money? You keep saying that Dr. Chunyu and I have got into the eyes of money, but why do I think that you are the ones who have got into the eyes of money?"
The faces of the Confucian scholars were blue and white, and they were speechless.
Master Zou now spoke more earnestly. He said to the Confucian scholars: "You know that it is dangerous to let passersby stay in the farmhouse, but you don't want to change and stick to the incomplete. Is this benevolence?"
"In my opinion, Dr. Chunyu is not afraid of rumors, and he practices businessmanship as a Confucian leader so that the people can have enough to eat."
"Although thousands of people have gone there, I am really admirable. Such a person deserves to be called a great scholar of the world."
Lord Zou praised Chun Yuyue endlessly. Those Confucian scholars found excuses and slipped away one after another.
After they left Master Zou's home, they were a little confused: "Is Chunyu Yue right? Is Master Zou right? Are we wrong?"
Soon, someone reacted and said to his companion: "That's not right. We are not looking for Mr. Zou to discuss the rights and wrongs of Chun Yuyue at all. We are asking him to advise the emperor to practice frugality. We must not know what the topic is.
During the period, were you led astray?"
The Confucian scholars around him also reacted, and they planned to go back to discuss the matter with Mr. Zou.
But... But I was speechless by others just now. Now I want to go back? I feel really embarrassed.
Moreover, after the Confucian scholars saw Mr. Zou's ability to quarrel with others, they no longer wanted to argue with him.
Finally, these Confucian scholars decided to change people and go to other people's homes to lobby.
After the Confucian scholars left, Mr. Zou came to his study room and started reading with great interest again.
This book was just bought from Xianyang City by someone. It is a new book from Shangjun Courtyard, and its name is "Introduction to Immortal Studies".
Introduction to Immortalism was written by Zhou Qingchen and others, who recorded Li Shui's words and deeds in order to elaborate on his thoughts.
There are a large number of debates and examples in it, which can be called the contemporary Analects of Confucius.
Mr. Zou became more and more excited as he read it. He felt that this book was really wonderful and beneficial.
…………
The Confucian scholars found Mr. Lu again.
As a result, Master Lu and Master Zou had the same attitude, and they all criticized the Confucian scholars.
I don’t know why, but Mr. Lu, who was usually clumsy-tongued, now speaks with great clarity.
This left the Confucian scholars a little confused.
To be continued...
