In fact, if you think about it carefully, Kong Shengcai is the biggest counterattack in history.

was born about the same as Liu Bei, with a so-called royal blood, but it is actually a copycat. grew up poor, and later married late at the age of 20, which was definitely considered an older youth in the era when the average life expectancy was terrifying.

There was a family to support, so I went to the house of a big nobleman as an attendant. The income is relatively meager, and in order to support his family, he began to engage in a side business, after all, it is too hard to provide for a house and pay in installments.

Sometimes he helps people do red and white funerals, sometimes he works as a tutor for others, and in the end he finds that there are too many illiterates.

After all, he is a half-way monk, and the cost of his teaching is not high, as long as he sends him ten bunches of jerky a year, and the after-sales service is very intimate.

Legend has it that he had more than 3,000 disciples, but this is not accurate, most of them just listened to the lectures and ran away, perhaps without even sending jerky. What a cheat!

Of course, there are also many people who have succeeded in brainwashing him and regard him as an expert.

Among these people were nobles, farmers, craftsmen, entertainers, thieves, and proletarians...... But he does not discriminate at all because of his identity, as long as the disciples want to learn, he will teach, and he will teach whatever the disciples want to learn. Just remember to pay your tuition on time, oh no, jerky!

Gradually, there are more and more dried meat at home, and some people have begun to not only deliver jerky, but also improve their living standards.

The family is well-off in an all-round way, well, there is a lot of time free, and there is no need to work for the boss. So I started thinking about life!

I have all the connections, and if I don't do something, I feel empty in my heart.

So, he sorted out the lectures and those contents of his lectures. I feel that I should publish a book, or expand my disciple base further afield, and let the jerky pile up a mountain.

Soon, with the help of some of his disciples, he began to travel around the world. He was thirty years old at this time, and he walked around with ideals, passing through country after country, visiting king after king, peddling his ideas again and again, and being rejected again and again.

Recalling this, Zhu Zilong felt that he had seen the hard work of a gold medal salesman to start a business.

My brain made up the picture, and I couldn't help but sigh a lot. I think that I was unemployed after graduation, and I have been a salesman for more than a year, and I am also a salesman of sanitary pads.

Confucius's sales process was very difficult, he was robbed of his belongings and vehicles by robbers halfway, and he was trapped in a small place without food for three days and three nights, but he did not look back.

Without it, when I left, all kinds of disciples saw me off, and when I came back, it looked like this, and it was too shameless.

He was like Tang Sanzang, he began to be unhappy, unbiased, and treated people and things in a rational way. This spirit was summed up in two words by later generations - "moderation"!

At the age of forty, his mind matured more and more. (People have refused for ten years, countless door-to-door sales, and everyone has practiced more 6!) ）

He summed up the results of his travels and formed a set of political theories of his own, encouraging the king and the people to live in harmony, protect each other's interests, and then make everyone equal and realize the great harmony of the world. He named it "Ren"!

However, the premise for the implementation of "benevolent government" is that either you are particularly wealthy or you are particularly powerful.

After ten years of sales, the family background is not rich, if it weren't for a Zigong student who is a rich man, most of them would not be able to survive. So, he set his sights on the upper echelons and began to specialize.

After a few times, he finally got results, and he began to become a petty official.

He did a good job in this position, so he was soon promoted to more important positions. He later became Minister of Works and Minister of Justice, and although his talents were indeed up to the task, it was not unrelated to the appreciation of one of the king's favored ministers at the time. (There are people in the court who are good officials!) ）

He killed a lot of bad people and some good people during his time as an official, but he thought it was a price he had to pay. He began to be valued by the king, and he rose through the ranks until he was appointed prime minister.

From then on, under one person, above ten thousand. became the CEO, married Bai Fumei, and embarked on the peak of life.

A few years later, he felt that the time had come, and he began to implement his own philosophy, placing his students in the government, and dividing the country into four parts to govern.

However, the fate of the master, whether before or after, unless you rebel, become your own boss, or let go of power, there will be no good end.

He was a nostalgic person and didn't want to rebel, so he had to resign and leave in the end.

-

In the age of knowing his destiny, he began to travel around the world again.

He no longer had the energy he used to have, his hair was gray, his eyes were cloudy, his back was hunched, and he was running from country to country. When a person reaches old age, he no longer cherishes power, but only wants to spread his ideas.

However, there are fewer and fewer disciples around him, and many of them choose to start their own businesses. Some people become barristers, some become wealthy people, some people become diplomats, and so on and so forth...... His disciples have achieved their own successes, but he still has not seen the light of day.

Ultimately, he was unwilling to betray his ideals in order to cater to the kings' preferences. So he hit a wall again and again, failed again and again, until he was too old to move and could no longer continue to travel.

When his wife died, he was still abroad and could not return. His favorite disciples, his sons, also went before him, and these people he cherished made him cry dry.

Before his death, only Zigong and a few loyal disciples were by his side.

In his life, he has been a big official, but he has not done anything big; He didn't leave any property for himself, and the most remarkable thing was that he educated a group of disciples.

After his death, Confucius's personal disciples became more and more influential because they had reached the pinnacle of their lives.

The disciples collected his sayings and compiled them into a book; His disciples collated his literature, classifying it into five doctrines; His disciples carried his ideals on their backs and multiplied them into a scholarly group; His disciples inherited his cause and put the world on their shoulders from generation to generation, whether they were staggering forward or crushing their bones.

There was great strength in numbers, and there were many believers, and the kings of the nations found that the people believed in his ideas. So, he soon took refuge in his portrait.

It's just that history is always written by the victors.

These kings will not be honest. They secretly and wantonly tampered with the content of the words in Confucius's book, set up clever names, distorted his ideas into a kind of domination, and used his name to enslave the people.

However, most of the time, most of the time, he was lifted up to the clouds, and he was given many embarrassing accolades and titles. Schools and statues named after him were erected, and groups of young and old people dressed in his costumes paid respectful worship in front of his statues.

He suffered too much criticism during his lifetime, and even after his death. But his spirit never faded!

For thousands of years, many people have proposed a spirit similar to him. And so it will be in the 21st century!

"This is a sage who is not a traverser, but who is more advanced than a traverser. From weak to strong, from grassroots to prime minister, from ordinary to great! Zhu Zilong thought silently in his heart.

Raising his head and looking at the crowd around him, Zhu Zilong decided that at this moment, he should no longer have any utilitarian intentions, and should really do something for the country and the people.
