"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world", this sentence is too familiar to Li Yi, or rather, as long as people with a little culture have heard of this sentence, but if you really want Li Yi to explain the meaning of this sentence, Li Yi was stunned, he didn't know how to say it, is it really explained like a literal meaning? Obviously, Wang Yuanzhi didn't want such a superficial answer.

Meditate and rack your brains. Li Yi thought about it for a long time, and seemed to think of something, but he didn't seem to think of anything, he always felt that something was about to come out of his mind, but he just couldn't grasp it, and he was about to go crazy when he thought about it.

In the end, Li Yi could only bite the bullet and say his understanding. "Poverty is good to yourself, it means that when you are not capable, you need to do a good job of yourself, let your virtue be noble, the unity of knowledge and action, have poetry and books in your belly, and be virtuous. And when you have enough ability, you need to use your ability to benefit the people and help the world! ”

"Hehe, Yi'er, you are indeed very smart and capable, but you only lack a little!" Looking at Li Yi's anxious appearance, Wang Yuanzhi finally spoke.

Li Yi raised his head suddenly and looked at Wang Yuanzhi in astonishment.

"The only thing you lack now is the pattern, and your pattern is not enough!"

Pattern? For example, for a war, ordinary people only care about whether the war requires conscription, businessmen may only care about the price of food, officials may care about whether there is an opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, and what the prime minister of a country has to consider may be the pros and cons of this battle to the country, and for a monarch, what he considers is what kind of pros and cons this battle will have for himself, the people, the country, and even all aspects of the world. This is the pattern, different people think about the problem at different heights, ordinary people only think about their own three meals a day, coarse tea and light rice. And the king's consideration is to consolidate the government and expand the territory!

But Wang Yuanzhi suddenly said that his pattern was not enough, Li Yi really didn't understand, although he was only fifteen years old, but after all, he was a human being in two lives, and he had a knowledge base that surpassed the millennium of this era, plus in the past six months, what he has done is a major national event, how can the pattern not be enough?

Seeing that Li Yi was a little unconvinced, Wang Yuanzhi was not angry.

But Wang Yuanzhi didn't explain to Li Yi where Li Yi's pattern was bad, but continued, "Poor is good for yourself, your explanation of this sentence is okay, the key to this sentence lies in a poor word, this poverty refers to not only the amount of wealth, but the ability to do things yourself, if you don't have the ability to change others, then just do a good job of yourself, do yourself well, you can also influence others to some extent, and this is also a kind of ability." Just like the Confucian merchants you proposed, this is good, are the merchants poor? In terms of wealth, they are the richest, but in terms of morality, the current merchants are the poorest, so they need to be alone, that is, the Confucian merchants you are talking about.

As for Da Ze to help the world, the same is true, Da does not necessarily refer to money, but the ability to give to others. It's like your charity, business alliance. These two things can be said to be a good interpretation of the world, if you say, the original meaning of this sentence, you do a good job, but do you know that this sentence has a deeper meaning? ”

Li Yi shook his head indifferently, and could only bow down and ask the teacher.

"Everything you do is to help the world materially, but this is only a symptom but not a cure, a country's progress is definitely not just material progress, a country's progress often starts from thought, just like a hundred schools of thought during the Warring States Period, Confucius's teacher passed on the world. In a country, only when the quality of the people themselves improves, can it be regarded as national progress. And what you are doing now can indeed promote the progress of national wealth, but have you ever considered whether the people of Datang can really adapt to everything you do? ”

After Li Yi listened, he suddenly felt that his brain had been penetrated, everything seemed to have changed, and it turned out that he was still taking it for granted. Li Yi finally knew what the pattern Wang Yuanzhi was talking about, and he knew even more, the problems that Li Yi had considered before, or what he had done, was completely just a copy and paste, or a copy and paste. He only thought of moving the advanced technology of later generations to Datang, and even hated to copy and paste it all in one go, but he didn't consider the most basic condition, whether the soil of Datang could allow these advanced technologies to take root and sprout? Will Datang's environment be able to withstand the pace of its own reforms?

When a country's economy is making rapid progress, then it will also lose something. With the rapid development of the economy, there will inevitably be a group of people who can keep up with the rhythm of reform, so as to become rich and expensive, then there will be a group of people who cannot adapt to the rhythm of reform, so as to become poorer and poorer, and the final result is that the gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger, especially now, Li Yi has led the ignorant and backward people of the Tang Dynasty with the pace of reform for nearly a thousand years, this gap will be more obvious, and the final result will be the families who will benefit, and the people will suffer, because they can't keep up with Li Yi's rhythm, even if it is charitable help, But they are ignorant and backward in their bones, just like if you give a book to a person who can't read a single word, and tell him that with him, you will become extremely rich, but he doesn't even know a word, how can you keep up with the pace of the times?

Li Yi also finally realized that the most important thing at this stage is to build roads, and it is not to develop money and business alliances! It's about opening up the people's wisdom!

Without the wisdom of the people, society will never be able to progress. Just like the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, they are full of Lao Tzu's feudal ideas that are the first in the world, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the great powers put the robbery in front of them, and they only regarded it as a burning stick, which is so sad, and this is the consequence of backward thinking.

After figuring out everything, Li Yi also broke out in a cold sweat, if it weren't for the master's reminder, he almost went on a fork in the road. If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. This sentence seems to have nothing to do with Kaiminzhi. But if you think about it carefully, if the people can't do it alone, what's the point of helping the world at the same time, and the ultimate benefit is probably those who are good at it!

"Master, the apprentice understands!"

Wang Yuanzhi nodded with satisfaction. "Hehe, Yi'er, the development of all things has its own laws, my Taoist is about going with the flow, that is, balance, when you want to promote this balance, you must first abide by this balance, otherwise, once the balance is lost, it is the beginning of chaos!"

"Apprentice obeys the master's words!"

Li Yi respectfully saluted Wang Yuanzhi. To be honest, Wang Yuanzhi's remarks today touched Li Yi deeply, although he didn't say hate, but there was a feeling of moisturizing things silently, which made Li Yi's pattern naturally rise to a higher level.

Raising his head, he looked at his master with admiration, it seems that his master is still not old!

However, Li Yi found that Wang Yuan had closed his eyes at some point.

A short time later, a low groan came from the room. "Master, go all the way!"

There was no hoarseness, no yelling, only a calm sentence, but it contained a deep reluctance and great sadness.
