Chapter 222: Awe-inspiring righteousness

"What the guys in the Babao Teahouse are doing, you just have to go to Zhuque Street, find a random person, and ask which one you can't do and which one can't do it? However, what I, Sima Guang and you, Wang Anshi, are doing, in Bianjing City, and even in the entire Great Song Dynasty, there will be no more than ten people who can do it! Su Shi, Chen Yuhui, and Sheng Yuhui are doing what they are doing, and there will be no more than 100 people who can replace them in the Great Song Dynasty!"

Sima Guang stared at Wang Anshi firmly, his eyes were sharp, and he said awe-inspiringly: "If the dormitory we get is the same size as the teahouse guys, or even if they have dormitories and we don't, what do you call the people who study all over the world think of it? How chilling will you teach them!"

Wang Anshi did not avoid Sima Guang's glare, his eyes did not even blink, and he asked sharply: "Your salary is dozens of times that of theirs, so is the size of your dormitory dozens of times that of theirs?"

At this time, he has seen it clearly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Last time in front of the Peony Pavilion, he saw Sima Guang arguing with "Le Lang" in order to allow students to listen to lectures for free, and mistakenly thought that they had the same aspirations and would definitely be able to help each other in the same boat.

Unexpectedly, in Sima Guang's heart, the people and the scholars were clearly separated from each other.

"Since Master Sima regards himself as a scholar, how can he not even have the slightest compassion for the readers!"

Wang Anshi took a deep breath and said seriously and emotionally: "What a fluke is it that you and I can be born in the scholarly family of poetry and rites and learn the way of Confucius and Mencius?

"However, the men in the teahouse have exhausted all their energy just to make a living! If we can lighten their burden a little, they may have the energy to learn to read and write, isn't that good?

……

White smoke wafted from the furnace, still enveloping the two of them.

Through the faint smoke, in the face of Wang Anshi's sonorous questioning, Sima Guang's expression was gloomy, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Fluke?"

After a while, he said loudly: "Wang Anshi, you are also a scholar yourself, don't you know how much effort it takes to cultivate a scholar?!"

"Even though I was born into a scholarly family of poets, I have been short of energy since I was studied, and I have been studying hard at night...... Forget to sleep and eat, log police pillows, dare not relax all the time, only then can we have today's knowledge and achievements!

"I believe that you are also like me, burning the ointment and the sundial, and the morning and night, so that you can learn and be well-informed!

"And all this, you dare to use the word 'fluke' to describe it?

"Wang Anshi, do you understand words, do you understand words!"

Unwillingness and anger surged over, Sima Guang couldn't help but stand up suddenly, propped up on the long table with one hand, leaned forward, and pointed directly at Wang Anshi with the other hand, and said almost in a low voice: "All these things we have got-whether it is a high salary or a mansion, even if it is really a godsend, it should be said with the words 'heaven rewards hard work'!"

Everyone was stunned by the anger in his eyes, and they didn't dare to speak for a while.

"Those of them ......"

Sima Guang removed his finger, pointed in the direction of the teahouse outside the window, and said word by word: "Since the Taizu Dynasty, there have been three or four generations, and the four seas have been peaceful for more than 100 years, and there are no natural disasters or wars, and those guys can't even get out of a single scholar for several generations, why is this?"

Before Wang Anshi could speak, he replied to himself: "Either because they are ignorant and reckless, or because they are lazy, short-sighted, ignorant, and unambitious!"

"The diligent and intelligent get more, and the ignorant and lazy get less, that's justice!

"Our salary is dozens of times that of theirs, and the dormitory we are divided into is dozens of times the size of theirs, just to let the very few of them who are not ignorant or lazy know that they must do their best to the extent that we can get what we get, and there is no fluke in this!"
