Chapter 173 Mount Tai Xing [Medium]

"Why should money be treated like dung? Isn't money bad? Zhao Yu said disappreciatively.

Zhang Dong said as a matter of course: "Although money is good, it attracts people's desires, which makes the hearts of the people in the world not ancient!" Thinking of Yao Shunyu, the ancients were friendly, a monarch, with an upright character and a downright person. The wealth is publicly owned, there is no dispute, the fertile land is cultivated, and the world is peaceful! ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "You just see the bad side, but you don't see the good side!" I just want to ask you one thing, what is the meaning of money? ”

"Money, goods!" Zhang Dong said proudly.

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "That's right!" So money is like appearing, if there is no money, I have a cage of eggs, but I want a piece of cloth, what should I do? Looking for someone to buy cloth, but he didn't want eggs, but asked for three catties of mutton, and he looked for one with mutton, and he didn't want to change it because he wanted ten catties of vegetables. If he finds one with greens, he asks for eggs! No one even asks for eggs! If the people can't get what they want, will they be resentful? ”

Zhang Dong shook his head and said, "That's not the same!" ”

(Datong, similar to Gong. property, which means that everything is owned by everyone)

Zhao Yu sneered: "Have you seen the wooden barrel?" ”

Not to be outdone, Zhang Dong also mocked: "Why don't you eat minced meat?" ”

Hu Yanzhuo had read some books and knew that the phrase "why not eat minced meat" came from "The Book of Jin and the Legend of Emperor Hui". At that time, Emperor Hui of Jin was in power, and there was a famine in one place, and the minister naturally played, saying that the people in this place were so hard that they didn't even have porridge and water to eat!

Emperor Hui of Jin asked a classic sentence, which was, 'Why don't you eat minced meat?' This means, since there is no porridge and water to eat, why don't you eat meat?

Zhao Yu waved his hand disapprovingly at Hu Yanzhuo, who was already angry, and then said: "Since Zhongtong understands, it's easy to say!" Barrels are made of more than a dozen planks, but how much water a barrel can hold is not determined by the longest plank, but by the shortest plank! The same is true of Datong you said, if you can get your own without doing anything, who will work hard? Seeing others like this, will others still work hard? These people who don't work hard have become the shortest plank! How can the world be the same? ”

Zhang Dong said unconvinced: "Crooked! Everybody works hard! Fang Nai Datong! ”

Zhao Yu smiled and continued, "Okay! That's according to what you say, but you are also a human being, not the same length of wood, if you can cultivate ten acres of land, but others can only cultivate eight acres, it's not that others don't work hard, it's just that his ability is only to this extent! So give him your food, maybe nothing at first, but after a long time, will there be complaints? ”

Zhang Dong held his chest high and said, "How come? Everyone is selfless, and the world can be the same! ”

Zhao Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, according to what you said, everyone is selfless, and you can get whatever you want." What is the meaning of living in this world? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Dong to speak, Zhao Yu had already continued: "It is precisely because of the ** that people can move forward." In order to get more money, people will go to war. In ancient times, stone was used as a weapon, and for victory, there was bronze, iron, and now steel. If we didn't have that, we would still be working with wood and stone! Money is not dung, money is the existence of people moving forward! ”

Zhang Dong's face flushed and said, "This is the wrong theory of the businessman!" If it is pursued, when the poor soldiers are extremely martial, the country will not be a country, the people will be selfish, and China will die! ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Steel can be used to create sharp weapons for killing, and it can also be used to create farm tools for cultivating fertile land!" Just like the Datong you just mentioned, although it cannot exist, its beauty can attract people to work hard and work hard in order to reach that point. ”

Zhang Dong didn't speak with a dark face, he found that if he talked about eloquence, he was not the opponent of the boy and brother opposite. In fact, what Zhang Dong didn't want to admit was that he was somewhat persuaded by Zhao Yu. It's just that more than 20 years of Confucian education have been deeply rooted, so Zhang Dong can't accept the sudden change.

The atmosphere was getting a little dreary, but thankfully, the rest of the journey was not far away.

If you follow the mountain road, you can see a small peach forest. The peach tree no longer has tender green leaves, attractive pink peach blossoms, and the bare branches make people feel uncomfortable to look at. But you can imagine how beautiful it will be in April and May. It is estimated that Sun Fu will be able to have 300 scholars to listen to his professors, and it is also thanks to the attraction of this peach forest.

In the middle of the peach forest is a bluestone paved horse road, after walking about a hundred steps, a small but exquisite northern-style villa shines into the eyes of Zhao Yu and his party.

The cyan courtyard walls contrast strongly with the white snow, and the red glazed tiles are layered on top of each other. A small two-storey building is not tall during its towering, but it is full of magnificent momentum.

Probably hearing the neighing of horses, the small gate of the courtyard opened, and a boy of eleven or twelve years old, with red lips and white teeth, came out wearing a small blue trumpet uniform. Although he is small, he looks like an adult in terms of politeness.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhongtong! I just don't know who these are? Xiao Daotong bowed slightly and said.

Zhang Dong glanced at Zhao Yu, who was smiling and disapproving, paused, and said, "This is the son of a big family looking for Mr. Xun's knowledge, let's go in together!" ”

Zhao Yu glanced at Zhang Dong, and said with a smile: "Thank you Zhongtong, but without Mr. Taishan's invitation, I still won't go in!" ”
