Tang Ruowang was grateful for Dade's departure, and Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh that it was good that there was no patent law in this world, but it was just a fool: what is yours is mine, what is mine is still mine, and it also makes you grateful for my generosity. A church in exchange for a firearm patent, compared with the later generations who quarreled to the death for scientific and technological patents, Wang Jian felt that he was about to die of shame.

Wang Jian believes that with the flaunting role of John Tang, the "red-haired ghosts" and "green-haired ghosts" in Jiangnan will continue to pour into Jinan and dedicate their patents in shipbuilding and firearms.

Besides, the debate on the stage has entered a white heat, and the theme of this year's debate is human nature.

Sexual goodness? Sexual evil?

Wang Jian listened to the chatter of the scholars on the high platform, and became interested for a while, and he only cared about explaining the matter of the Firearms Bureau to Tang Ruowang, but he didn't hear what they said. He raised his feet and was about to leave, when an elegant female voice came from the stage: "This son, slow down." ”

Wang Jian looked around blankly, and saw that the eyes of the surrounding scholars were drifting to him, and he realized that the girl on the stage was calling him.

"Is there anything wrong with the girl?" Wang Jian was puzzled, in fact, he also noticed this girl, she was dressed as a scholar, she looked bright-eyed and bright-toothed, and her temperament was moving. gives people a calm and peaceful bookish atmosphere, so that Wang Jian truly understands what it means to "have poetry and books in the belly".

If Chen Yuanyuan is a demon immortal in the seventy-two caves, then she is a thirty-six heavenly immortal.

Not only did Wang Jian notice Wang Qianqian, but Wang Qianqian also noticed him, followed by the housekeeper of Zheng Yuqiao's family, and the guards of the house, it was difficult not to be noticed.

She saw that Wang Jian had been talking to a foreign monk for a long time, but she was not interested in their wonderful debates, and her attitude was still very disdainful, so she noticed Wang Jian. But she didn't think much about it, thinking that Wang Jian was a junior who was appreciated by Zheng Yuqiao and a talented person, so she left her words and wanted to hear Wang Jian's high opinions.

Wang Qianqian lightly opened his lips and asked, "Didn't you ask the son's name?" ”

Wang Jian was accosted by a fairy-like beauty for the first time, and he was a little flustered for a while, and he smiled: "Haha, my name is Wang Da Labang, Bandebei Bu Dobi Ru Wengjian." ”

Wang Qianqian was very speechless, she thought that Wang Jian was unwilling to say her real name, so she had to spare this question, and said: "The little girl sees that the son is magnificent, and she must be extraordinary, can you teach one or two?" ”

Wang Jian was also happy to talk to the beauty, "What, what, what is your debate?" He listened to the audience for a long time, but he didn't understand what they were saying, first, he was too lazy to listen, and secondly, he couldn't understand it. And he thinks that these scholars are full of food, and the Qing Dynasty is about to let Ma go south, and they are still discussing some boring philosophical topics here.

Wang Qianqian secretly hated that he had no eyes, and regarded the scoundrel as a well-educated person, and she was a little angry for a while: this person was a scoundrel at all, and when asked what his name was, he was talking nonsense; I asked him to express his opinions, and he listened to them for a long time, but he didn't even know the debate.

However, Wang Qianqian's family education has been strict since she was a child, she has excellent cultivation, even if she is angry, she can restrain herself, and still maintains the etiquette of a scholar, she said politely: "Childe, this year's debate is: human nature, familiar good, familiar evil?" ”

Wang Jian smiled: "Oh? I don't know the good and evil of human nature, but well, your good and evil character, we have to communicate in depth before I can know. ”

Wang Jian's words were very unreasonable, and Wang Qianqian was not angry, at least not on the surface. She was still very cultivated, and said politely: "Childe, please answer the little girl's question head-on." ”

Wang Jian was a little surprised by her performance, and in later generations, he often touched a lot of nails because of his stinky problems, and was thrown off a lot of faces, and it was the first time to see a woman like her who was so well-cultivated and had a good heart. Even Chen Yuanyuan, don't look at her in front of outsiders, she looks delicate and charming, and she is very good at talking, but she will also be angered by Wang Jian's words.

A group of people looked at Wang Jian contemptuously, Wang Jian believed that if he didn't say that he was ugly today, it would be difficult to step down, he thought about it and said: "Human nature is good and evil, Yasheng Mencius has a saying, everyone has four ends, that is, compassion, benevolence; The heart of shame is also the end of righteousness; The heart of resignation, the end of courtesy; The heart of right and wrong, the end of wisdom. So, as long as this person has four ends, human nature is good. ”

Wang Qianqian smiled slightly, pointed to a handsome boy next to him, and said, "Childe seems to have just summarized and repeated Senior Brother Tang's words just now. ”

The senior brother surnamed Tang nodded proudly, as if it was an honor to be named by her.

Wang Jian teased her before, originally thinking that she would be ashamed and angry, so that she could mess up so that she could get by, but she was not affected, and pointed out Wang Jian's fault.

The onlookers thought that Wang Jian had some insight, and when they saw that Wang Jian just repeated what others said, they all burst into laughter.

Where can Qi'er allow others to laugh at Wang Jian, and she will teach them a lesson according to the frost sword. Wang Jian gave her a look and told her to calm down.

Even Yao'er glared at those scholars angrily, in her mind, Wang Jian was right in everything she said, and she knew everything, how could she let them laugh?

Where does Wang Jian know what Confucian classics, let alone take them out for debate, he racked his brains, thought of a story on the "Reader", and said: "This dynasty is a great Confucian, Wang Wenchenggong once caught a heinous prisoner, the prisoner said that he was murderous, and there was no goodwill in his heart, Wang Yangming said that he had a good heart, in order to prove it, he asked him to take off his clothes, the prisoner took off one after another according to his words, and when there was finally a trouser left, the prisoner was shy, and refused to take it off, Wang Yangming said, this is your shameful heart!" Wang Jian paused and said, "Therefore, even the heinous prisoners have a heart of shame, so human nature is naturally good." ”

Wang Qianqian asked, "Oh? If even the prisoner has a good heart, why does he treat human life like a mustard? ”

Wang Jian was right when he heard it, wasn't it? Could it be that she advocates the evil of human nature? Then follow her, it's all right. So he spoke again: "Hou Sheng Xunzi once said: Human life is also a villain. Therefore, human nature is also evil. ”

Wang Qianqian didn't expect Wang Jian to be so undisciplined, like a scoundrel, and change his position so quickly, he suspected that his ears were wrong, and asked uncertainly: "Then the son thinks that human nature is evil?" ”

Wang Jian thought that she had guessed correctly, stood on her side, and said proudly: "That's nature, everyone is not a saint, as the so-called high mountains look up, how can the world reach it?" It is better to go back and look for answers in your own heart, and it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The reason why the Six Kingdoms were destroyed was because they did not talk about benevolence and righteousness, but only about the pros and cons. For the sake of petty profits, they were suspicious of each other's merits, and finally they were broken by the tyrannical Qin one by one. The trade-off between good and bad is said to be righteous by the saints, and we mortals are naturally said to be profitable. People in the world often do not make judgments according to right and wrong, but according to interests, what is beneficial to themselves, they will do, and what is unfavorable to themselves, even if it is right, they will turn a deaf ear and will not do it. Therefore, human nature is naturally evil. ”
