When Jingwen was annoyed that the manuscript fee could not be sent, Zhu Yu, as the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, came over and took the initiative to ask Jingwen why he was troubled.

"Here's the thing, Kong Yingda and they are reluctant to accept the manuscript fee, because they think the manuscript fee is insulting them! But if we don't pay for the manuscript, then we will probably be unlucky. After all, it's not good to make money with other people's things, but not to give benefits to others! Jingwen said.

Zhu Yu said: "Owner, in fact, this matter is very simple, didn't that Dr. Kong Yingda use Sage Kong as a reason to refuse?" Let's also come to a way of the other, and give back to the other. ”

When Jingwen heard this, he immediately asked, "Did you cross over?" ”

"Owner, what is crossing?" Zhu Yu asked puzzled.

"Then how do you know the Murong family's motto?" Jingwen asked again.

"What Murong family's aphorism? Which family is the Murong family? Which Hu people? ”

"It's okay, just talk about it."

Then, Zhu Yu explained to Jingwen what the way of the other is and the method of returning the other's body, and Jingwen's eyes lit up when he heard it. Jingwen also has to say that this method is good, and it is really a method that can refute Kong Yingda speechless.

Jingwen came to Kong Yingda's house again with the copper coin, and then the housekeeper of the Confucian Mansion said directly: "Our master doesn't want to see you, you can go!" ”

But Jingwen came prepared, and immediately said, "You go and tell Dr. Kong that we are here for the livelihood of the world's scholars, and if Dr. Kong is unwilling to meet me, it will cut off the livelihood of the world's students." When the time comes, Dr. Kong, will you be able to bear it? ”

Jingwen took out the livelihood of the world's scholars, and this housekeeper didn't dare to slack off. If the livelihood of the world's scholars is "cut off" by Kong Yingda at that time, then Kong Yingda will not be able to bear this crime even if he is a descendant of Confucius!

Soon, Kong Yingda met Jingwen again.

"You guy, you said that the old man wants to cut off the livelihood of the world's scholars? If you don't explain to the old man today, the old man and you are not finished. Kong Yingda said angrily.

But Jingwen said unhurriedly: "Dr. Kong, are you short of money?" ”

"Why do you ask this? The old man never asks about this kind of thing! Kong Yingda said.

Jingwen continued: "Dr. Kong, you don't need to ask about this thing, it is that you were born in the scholar clan since you were a child, you have no worries about food and clothing, and you can study seriously. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't be where you are today, right? Jingwen asked.

"This ...... Maybe! Kong Yingda also had to admit it.

"But Dr. Kong, do you know? How many people in the world are unable to study because they are poor. How many people study hard, but life is unsustainable? Have you thought about any of this? I'm afraid Dr. Kong never thought about it, right? Jingwen asked again.

"Nonsense, I often sponsor those poor students to study, send books and pen and ink, how can you say that I don't care about poor readers?" Kong Yingda blew her beard and glared.

Jingwen said: "Dr. Kong, you are just teaching people to fish, and one day you will spend it." But my manuscript fee is to give people fish! Students who study can publish books from me and then get rich. Although you don't want to admit it, Dr. Kong, it is still impossible to do without such a thing as money in this world. Students have to spend money to buy books, and they have to spend on life, and if they can't even guarantee their lives, they can't continue to read! ”

"And when I get a manuscript fee for the publication of this book, that is to give readers a chance to read, then practice, and gain wealth. Only when you get rich can you continue to study! And if you continue to study, learn more and more, and then publish books, this is another opportunity to practice what you have learned, isn't this good? Does Dr. Kong want to cut off the source of wealth for students all over the world? Aren't you cutting off the livelihood of students from all over the world? ”

Kong Yingda also had to admit that this Jingwen was so good at saying it, and he simply put Kong Yingda on the issue of cutting off the livelihood of the world's scholars. But Kong Yingda is not right to think about it, it seems that he does not want to cut off the livelihood of students in the world!

"The old man just doesn't charge it himself, and he doesn't ask other students to do it and don't charge this manuscript fee! Aren't you slandering the old man when you say that? Kong Yingda said angrily again.

Jingwen immediately said: "Dr. Kong, although I am a chef, I also have a certain understanding of the story of Sage Kong. ”

"Oh? You, a cook, also come to talk about the story of your ancestors? Today, the old man will talk to you and see what you can say about the ancestors! Kong Yingda said.

Then, Jingwen said to Kong Yingda: "Didn't Sage Kong have a disciple back then? When he went to a foreign country, he saw the prisoners of war of the Lu country, and he bought them back. According to the rules of the time, merchants could be compensated for buying prisoners of war and returning home. However, the disciple of Confucius was unwilling to ask for compensation from the state, and Confucius criticized him. If he does not make amends, then the people of the world will probably be harmed by this morality he has erected. Others buy prisoners of war and come back, but they see that you don't want to compensate, and if they want to come back, they are morally inferior to you. However, they also cost money to redeem prisoners of war, and when the time comes, they will not be compensated for the wasted money, and there will be fewer and fewer people willing to redeem prisoners of war in the future. Isn't it a disadvantage that the heroes of the country will not be able to return home, and more and more people will not be willing to do good deeds? ”

After Kong Yingda listened, he was also a little thoughtful. Kong Yingda is not a fool, of course he knows what Jingwen means. Jingwen's meaning is that if Kong Yingda doesn't accept this manuscript fee, then I'm afraid that people in the world will not dare to accept it. If someone else accepts the manuscript fee at that time, it will seem that his morality is not as good as Kong Yingda. No one wants to admit that their morality is inferior to others, not to mention Kong Yingda, the benchmark of Confucianism in the world, everyone learns from him! When the time comes, everyone will not need money to publish books, then everyone will lose money and make money, so who wants to go on like this for a long time?

In the future, the book publishing industry will be cut off, won't it cut off the livelihood of readers all over the world?

"Dr. Kong, you look at it! If you are unwilling to accept it, it will cut off the livelihood of the world's scholars. Do you think it is necessary to insist on the moral goodness of the individual? Or do you want to help students from poor families in the world to have a way to make a living? If you cut off the livelihood of the world's scholars for the sake of your own morality, you are an out-and-out hypocrite! Jingwen said.

Kong Yingda's face turned red, obviously forced by Jingwen's words. If Kong Yingda doesn't accept the money, then Kong Yingda is a hypocrite. Jingwen used the words of Confucius, the ancestor of Kong Yingda, to refute Kong Yingda in turn, leaving Kong Yingda with nothing to say.
