Chapter 1692: Deprived of Opportunity
"Well, that's just fifty percent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition to these things that can be seen and touched, there is also a very important aspect, the mind. The human mind is influenced by innate factors, which are determined by some bloodlines, but can be changed the day after tomorrow. Lu Zhan spends most of his time at home, grocery stores and private schools, occasionally going out for a walk, but he is basically inseparable from the scope of Jixian County, the places he has visited, the people he has met, and the things he has experienced, so few that he can no longer be less, and so ordinary that he can no longer be ordinary. Tell me where you went, who you met, and what you saw when you were a child. Fang Yundao.
Zeng Yuan said: "We children of the Zeng family are often led by our elders to play in various places, see the scenery of mountains and rivers, cultural attractions, and the most profound memory I remember is the first time I saw the appearance of Kongcheng and Daofeng Mountain from the sky, which is unforgettable in this life." ”
Fang Yun said with emotion: "So far, Lu Zhan has never seen Kong City, nor has he ever seen Inverted Peak Mountain. You continue. ”
Zeng Yuan continued: "As for the people I have met, they are all elites of various families, and I often see scholars and even great Confucians, and even a half-saint, of course, what I see is not the Holy Sacrament. As for the things experienced, there are too many and too complicated, the Zeng family is a big family, as a sub-saint family, I can't think of being quiet, I still remember some things that happened when I was a child. ”
Fang Yun sighed lightly and said, "Everything that a child encounters in his childhood will have a huge impact on himself. To take the simplest example, we will find that today's children are smarter than us back then, in addition to the continuous improvement of bloodline, in addition to the life of the human race getting better, and more importantly, these children are exposed to far more information than we were back then. Especially the children in Ning'an City, their changes are the most obvious. Compared with you, most of Lu Zhan's childhood was wasted, so that he had to work thousands of times harder to catch up with you later. But the problem is that you didn't waste time later, and the chances of him catching up with you are slim to none. ”
Zeng Yuan also sighed with emotion, and said: "The student thinks that everything he experienced as a child has an impact on me and his grades, not only one percent, but may be greater than two percent. I understand thoroughly that it is not that I am inherently better than him, not how stupid and lazy he is, but that I have everything that surpasses him too much, and as you said, he has to work a thousand times harder than me to be on par with me. And if his efforts can really reach a thousand times mine, he will be exhausted and die in half a year at most, so he can't surpass me. ”
Fang Yundao: "Whether it is food, heaven and earth vitality, teachers, educational resources, environment or experience, it has a great impact on the two of you, but it is not a gap that cannot be crossed, it is not a trench that is absolutely impassable, even if you lag behind you in the academy, once you become an adult, it is still possible for civilians to narrow the gap, and the gap in the academy is not terrible." What is really terrifying, the most insurmountable, and the most powerless for the common people is that after leaving the academy, the children of your family directly deprived us civilians of the opportunity to go further!"
"How do you say this?" Zeng Yuan asked in surprise, finding that Fang Yun's tone was extremely heavy, and it was far more solemn than before.
"As far as I know, after you failed the Jinshi Examination for five consecutive years, you had to give up for the time being, and you were ready to find other ways out while preparing for the Jinshi Examination, and you chose to disguise yourself as an ordinary person and go to a shop of the Zeng family to be a buddy, is this the case?" Fang Yun asked.
"Definitely. Zeng Yuan was a little proud, because the old man of the Zeng family often used this incident to educate the rest of the children.
"If Lu Zhan lives in the same place as you, if Lu Zhan finally defeats other competitors after a lot of hardships, then, just because you want to start from the bottom and choose there, Lu Zhan loses a valuable opportunity and can only go to a worse place to be a buddy. You, depriving him of opportunities and status that could have been achieved through hard work. Fang Yundao.
Zeng Yuan was stunned and speechless for a long time.
He wanted to say that it was just if, but when he thought about it, he chose to be a buddy in that store back then, and he just asked someone to bring a sentence, which was so simple that it couldn't be simpler, but now that he thinks about it, he is likely to snatch an opportunity that originally belonged to someone else.
Fang Yun continued: "You have been a buddy for half a year and have enough understanding of this store, so you choose to be the shopkeeper of this store. At the same time, if the shopkeeper is Lu Zhan, or Lu Zhan will take over as the shopkeeper, then you have deprived Lu Zhan of another opportunity. ”
Zeng Yuan was silent.
"You have risen step by step, whether it is you, your brothers, or your relatives and friends, you are distributed all over the human race, some of you want to be civil officials, some want to be military generals, some want to be merchants, some want to open workshops, and so on. The first step you took deprived Lu Zhan of countless opportunities, not because you were better than Lu Zhan, not because you were smarter than Lu Zhan, not because you read more books than Lu Zhan, but simply because you had a good father and mother, and you inherited their power. You feel that everything is what you deserve, you think that you are better than us civilians, and you think that earning 100 million taels of silver is just a small goal, but I can point to the nose of each and every one of you and say that if you had not deprived thousands of Lu Zhan opportunities and had not been protected by your predecessors, there would not have been even one in 10,000 among you who have achieved what you have achieved now. ”
Zeng Yuan didn't dare to come out, not only because Fang Yun was a virtual saint, but also because Fang Yun's words almost cut open his heart, making him feel ashamed.
Fang Yun's face softened, and he smiled: "When I say this, you will probably think that I am accusing you, no, looking back at your ancestors, there is always one who stands on the same starting line as our ancestors, at that time there was no gap between you and my ancestors, but your ancestors have achieved great achievements and power through hard work." His power and achievements will not die with his death, but will work on you, which is a gift from your ancestors, and indeed you deserve it, and you should accept it calmly, even proudly, and be proud of the achievements of your ancestors. ”
Zeng Yuan was puzzled, and didn't understand why Fang Yun said inconsistent words.
However, Fang Yun changed his words and said, "But there is one thing you have to remember, the advantages you have now are not enough for you to laugh at us ordinary people, because most of what you have comes from your ancestors. Lu Zhan is not as good as you, not because he is stupid, not because he is lazy, not because he deserves it, but because they don't have ancestors like you. If you have to laugh at Lu Zhan, if you think that Lu Zhan is stupid, lazy, and deserves everything that has happened, then you are only qualified to say this after you have surpassed your ancestors. Otherwise, you are nothing more than a rich dog cowering under the robes of your ancestors. ”
"Student, understood!" a cold sweat broke out on Zeng Yuan's forehead.
"Very well, if you can really figure this out, the achievement will be even better. So, let's get back to business. Fang Yundao.
