Wang Jian saw that he was dressed plainly, wearing a gray gown with a few patches on it, presumably his family background was not very good.

But this is not the reason why Wang Jian did not beat him: your poor family does not mean that you are right, nor does it mean that you can not be beaten, if you want not to be beaten, you must convince me.

Wang Jian just gave him a chance to convince himself.

He asked: "Then you say, I won the debate, but they are not convinced, since they are not convinced, and I am too lazy to bother to convince them, the only and fastest way is to convince them, what's wrong with that?" ”

Zhang Shuihua thought for a while and said, "This is indeed their fault. ”

As soon as he said this, he immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding scholars.

"Zhang Shuihua, what do you mean!"

"That's it, I didn't expect you to be a villain who tends to be inflammatory!"

Wang Jian was very tired of hearing the noise of the people around him. These people have read the books of the sages, and there is no arrogance of the literati. They didn't dare to come out for fear of being beaten, and when one of them stood up for them, they attacked them in groups.

Zhang Shuihua ignored those people, he continued: "You did win, but you can't beat people because of this, Zi said: Therefore, if people from afar are not satisfied, they will cultivate Wende." If it comes, it will be safe. ”

Wang Jian was a little confused, feeling that the language he read was not the same thing as what the ancients read, how could the idiom "if it comes, it will be safe" also has the first half of the sentence? And if you put it together, it seems that the meaning is different again.

Suddenly, he was a little annoyed to chat with these people who like to drop their book bags, talk to you, and say something that people can't understand, showing how knowledgeable he is.

He said viciously: "Speak human words, or I will beat you!" ”

Wang Jian said: "Speak well, don't fuck it, I don't understand!" ”

Wang Qianqian has always admired Zhang Shuihua's talent, and was afraid that he would also be beaten, so he hurriedly explained: "Senior Brother Zhang means that if others are unwilling to submit, they should not use force, but should be gentle and frugal to them, and use these beautiful virtues to influence them, so that they can stay for my use with peace of mind." ”

After listening to her explanation, Wang Jian was as if he had heard a big joke, and he sneered: "Oh, I understand, you mean, now there are anti-thieves everywhere, thieves are rampant, causing turmoil in the country, and if those anti-thieves are not satisfied, the saint should use the virtues you said to influence them, so that they willingly put down their swords and accept the court's recruitment, is that what does that mean?" ”

Wang Qianqian was speechless for a moment, she didn't expect that a very ordinary little thing about dealing with people and things was suddenly extended to state affairs by Wang Jian, and what surprised her even more was that in Wang Jian's words, the Confucian classics she read seemed to be useless in the face of cruel reality.

Because just a few years ago, the catastrophe in Jinan City that was broken by the Qing soldiers made her family ruined, and she survived by luck, so she naturally knows how ridiculous it is to use virtue to influence robbers.

Whether it is a thief or a robber, they are also human beings, and once people taste the taste of the right to control people's life and death, what a ridiculous luxury it is to let them go.

The Buddha said, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground. That's the huge benefit of becoming a Buddha in exchange for putting down the butcher's knife in one's hand!

Zhang Shuihua said: "Gongzi seems to be the cause and effect, the country is turbulent, and the reason why the displaced people are displaced is not that anti-thieves are rampant, but that the saints are not clear about the use of people. ”

Wang Jian said: "The saint is unknown? Hmph, the saints are all those of you who are scholars, standing in the court, which one of you has not read poetry and books since childhood? They are also after ten years of hard study, and they are also brilliant doctors, you tell me, they are pedantic and dumb people? Moreover, you read the same books of sages as them, so why have they become traitors in your mouth, and are you reading different books? ”

Zhang Shuihua was speechless for a moment, Wang Jian was right: how did the predecessors who came out of reading the books of sages become traitors in his mouth? If he can't answer this question, how can he prove that reading the books of the sages can educate people and establish the world.

Wang Jian continued: "I'll tell you why, to put it bluntly, it's nothing more than that: the rule of peace and virtue is good, and there is a reward function. Now that the troubled times have appeared, the saint wants to emulate the meritocracy of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei. So, I'm more useful than you, because I can fight. ”

The royal road, to convince people with virtue; Domineering, to convince people. Wang Jian will only choose the royal road if he can't beat it.

Wang Jian looked at the group of scholars below, yes, some people only woke up after being beaten, and they also pondered. He said loudly: "Just like I am doing now, I will first convince you, and then talk to you about gentleness and frugality, and you will be able to listen." ”

The man surnamed Zhou had just been beaten and fainted like a pig's head, he had just recovered his strength, and saw that some scholars around him seemed to be moved by Wang Jian's words, but he didn't hear what Wang Jian said just now, only heard what barbarians, anti-thieves. He instigated: "All the nonsense and barbarians are hateful, because they are all animals that eat human flesh and drink human blood, and they do not know how to be benevolent, righteous, and courteous. ”

Wang Qianqian was very disdainful of what Zhou Zhiguo said, she had seen the cruelty of the Qing soldiers with her own eyes, and knew that what to tell those barbarians to convince people would not work at all.

As soon as the two compared, she found that Wang Jian in front of her was different from the scholars she had interacted with in her daily life, those people all loved to talk highly, love to quote scriptures, and talk exaggeratedly, they were too ideal and naïve. And Wang Jian seems to be a scoundrel, but in fact, he can see the problem more thoroughly, and although his behavior is direct and domineering, it has to be said that it is more effective.

"Oh? Since you think that Jianyu can be educated, it is simple, I will ask the emperor to appoint you as the instructor of the Ming Dynasty, and send you to Qingying to educate them, and if you do a good job, it is also a great contribution to the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Is it easy to clear the camp? Zhou Zhiguo was so frightened that cold sweat came down.

Wang Jian turned his head and looked coldly at the scholars in the audience, and said loudly: "Who else thinks that he has outstanding character, and his original intention is the same as Zhou... So who went with you, huh?! ”

He looked around, and found that the people in the audience all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him, for fear that they would be selected and sent to the camp.

But there is one exception, it is still that Zhang Shuihua.

"I'm going to make a wish."

Wang Jian looked at him with interest and said, "Do you really mean to go?" Have you thought about it, they don't want me to be so easy to talk and provoke me, at most I just beat you up, and anger them, you may die, and you are not afraid of death? ”

"Of course I'm afraid, but there are clouds in "Zuo Biography": its death is also sudden, and its rise is also vigorous. I would like to meet the officials and generals of the Qing court, see the customs of Liaodong, and find out why they have been able to rise and grow so fast in just a few decades. ”
