"Old gentleman, may I ask in my later life: What is a scholar?"

Gao Zhong smiled and waved his hand at the old man and asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I'm afraid that your baby already has an answer in his heart, I'm afraid that if the old man says his answer, you will also refute me, why should I humiliate myself, you just say your answer."

The old man had already sat down at this moment, and the descendants of the Wang family on the side had already given him a table and chair, and it was also a good VIP seat, and tea was placed in front of him, and at a glance, he knew that the old man's origin was unusual.

"That night, I will continue Meng Lang."

Gao Zhong waved his hand again: "I personally think that the taxi is in Kochi!" ”

"Informed? Interesting, let's hear it! ”

Hearing this, the old man smiled, and looked at Gao Zhong with curiosity and continued to ask.

"The so-called Kochi is omniscient, and the so-called scholar is the omniscient person. It's a pity that the knowledge in the world is like a sea of stars, who can be called omniscient? We can only pursue omniscience, so in the eyes of the later students, the so-called scholars should be those who pursue knowledge, drive a flat boat in the vast sea of learning, and then use what they know and learn to solve problems! ”

Gao Zhong waved his hand at the old man, bowed and said.

"It was this omniscience, but he didn't know it either. Yes, the vast sea of learning, who can say that he knows everything? Even if it's a saint, it can't ......"

The old man sighed, obviously affirming Gao Zhong's statement to a certain extent: "That's why you are so defending military households and even artisan households?" ”

"Yes, the so-called seeker of knowledge is to do what you see in your eyes and know in your heart. Only after knowing farmers, businessmen, soldiers, and craftsmen can we know the country, and only after knowing the country can we govern the country and settle the world. When I calmed down, I found that the great country is inseparable from the peasants and industrialists, and there is no shortage of soldiers and craftsmen, and that the scholars are only a part of the world, but not the world, and only when all the classes are combined together can it be ......."

Gao Zhong nodded and continued.

"Alas, hahaha."

Old Ru first sighed, and then laughed again: "Sure enough, you are worthy of Zhang Youke's apprentice, needless to say today's dispute, your name is Gao Zhong, right?" You've won! ”

"You are not in knowledge, but in the world. You have already talked about the world in your eyes, but you have reached a level that others can't reach, and your argument with them is tantamount to a quarrel between an adult man and a child who learns language, and you have checked too many levels......"

The old man laughed, then stood up, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Brother Gaocai, I only have four books and five classics in my heart, but Brother Gao's vision has covered the world, we are too far apart!"

At this time, Zhang Fanyu waved his hand at Gao Zhong, and now Gao Zhong's words were no less than opening a window for him, opening up a new world to show in front of his eyes.

Gao Zhong's words made many of the scholars present pause, and the people who were originally shouting and shouting to kill also quieted down in an instant, and the eyes that looked at Gao Zhong were full of admiration.

Although Gao Zhong elevated the status of the rest of the class in his words, it was because Gao Zhong himself had already stood in another dimension.

It seems that Gao Zhong is elevating the role of other classes, but he told everyone present with the words "Shizai in Kochi" that the essence of what he should do as a scholar is to seek knowledge and study.

If you look at the whole world from such a single perspective, you will find your own ignorance and discover the strengths of others.

Among the representative tasks of Confucianism, there is such a person who is in the same position as Gao Zhong, and that is Confucius Laofu!

Lao Ru stood up, and then sat down again: "I almost forgot, that Zhang and Keke accepted you as an apprentice?" ”

"The late student just studied with Master Zhang, and he didn't get started!"

Gao Zhong replied truthfully.

"Why?"

The old man was taken aback and asked curiously.

"Master Zhang said that he was afraid that if I learned the skills, he would be involved in trouble in the future, so he didn't let me get started......"

Gao Zhong said truthfully.

"This troublemaker, he is a grandson monkey, why did he pluck the monkey hair and become a Bodhi ancestor?"

The old man touched his beard but smiled, and said teasingly.

"By the way, since he doesn't take you as an apprentice, how can you learn knowledge?"

Now the old man is even more curious.

"Master Zhang is reading in the house, and I am listening outside the house, and how much I can understand depends on my own creation......"

Gao Zhong continued to answer.

"This guy really thinks of himself as the Bodhi Ancestor! However, he taught this monster in this way," Lao Ru pointed at Gao Zhong: "The bamboo house wears the sound as a teacher, and the pursuit of knowledge depends on one's own thinking, which is a hundred times more difficult than ordinary people to learn knowledge, no wonder this kid dares to come out of the world as a teacher, and there is a reason for this." ”

"Boy, as soon as you come out of Kochi, the whole Fuzhou will remember you!"

After the old man finished speaking, he said loudly to Gao Zhong.

"Since you have said that the importance of Shinong industry and commerce is to the country, let me ask you again, what should be done about the rise and fall of this country?"

After waiting for a while, Lao Ru asked Gao Zhong again.

"Then this is simple, the soldier seeks knowledge, the farmer seeks high yield, the soldier seeks the horse, and the craftsman seeks innovation!"

Gao Zhong replied with a wave of his hand.

"So, what about the merchant?"

Hearing that Gao Zhong had finished talking about all the classes, except for the merchants, a richly dressed merchant shouted at Gao Zhong and asked.

"Yes, what about the merchants?"

Another merchant also asked curiously. Since Gao Zhong exalted soldiers and craftsmen in such a high spirit, then merchants who were higher than them should also receive good evaluations.

"Just ask for prosperity and peace!"

Gao Zhong replied with a wave of his hands.

"Haha, sure enough, this businessman can only seek prosperity and peace, and there is no use for the country!"

Gao Zhong said that everyone present laughed, especially Shizi, who laughed the most.

"Do we businessmen only have money in our eyes?"

A businessman looked at Gao Zhong in frustration, his eyes full of helplessness.

Merchants have been in China for more than 5,000 years, they cannot be officials, let alone participate in the imperial examinations, although they are rich, but their status is much lower than that of military households.

"Is it wrong for a man to love money?"

Gao Zhong asked rhetorically.
