Fang Jishi roughly talked about his trip to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Lao Tzu.

He only talked about the matter between him and Lao Tzu, only about Lao Tzu's preaching, and did not say about Helian and the crown prince Ji Meng, nor about the internal affairs of the royal family.

There are many things that cannot be said casually, and Fang Keystone knows it.

When Helian saw that her husband Jun Fang Jishi was talking about the affairs in the Luoyi Palace, she was worried about telling her troubles, and she was so anxious that she couldn't do it. She sat on the side, listening and watching.

After listening to Fang Jishi's introduction to the situation of the Zhou Tibetan Room and the situation of Lao Tzu, the young Confucius couldn't sit still, and he couldn't wait to fly over now, worship Lao Tzu as a teacher, and learn knowledge.

But! After coming to his senses, he still restrained himself.

Right now! It's not time for him to let it go.

He is not a rich second generation, he is not a hereditary nobleman, and no one supports him. Although he was a sergeant, he was poor, and he did not inherit the property of his father's generation and any of the privileges of the sergeant.

If he is a hereditary nobleman and a rich second generation, if he does not worry about food and clothing, he will definitely take enough silver to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and learn from Lao Tzu.

It's a pity he's not!

And most of the descendants of the hereditary aristocracy did not have the enthusiasm to learn. These people don't worry about food, clothing, or taste, and they don't want to make progress and live in decay.

"And what do you plan to do in the future?" Fang Jishi asked.

Fang Jishi watched a lot of replays of the live broadcast of the young Confucius, knew some things about him, knew that Yang Hu was framing him, and knew that he couldn't stay at Ji Pingzi's house.

He also knew that with Confucius's ambition, it was impossible to become a Confucian scholar for the rest of his life. Giving funerals to others and blowing trumpets is not the life that Confucius pursued.

Our saints have great ambitions.

"Alas!" Confucius sighed and said, "I earned some money and saved some money!" I think? I? ”

Confucius glanced at Helian and was embarrassed to continue.

He felt that he should marry a woman and start a family.

"You? Do you want to go to the Song Kingdom? Fang Jishi asked.

According to historical records, Confucius went to the Song Kingdom when he was nineteen years old, and he went to the Song Kingdom to find his ancestors.

He wants to go to his home country to find his lost soul!

In the country of Lu! He lives a very confused life!

In Qufu! He was seriously suppressed by Yang Hu and others! Let him live in humiliation all the time! Yanghu's people often speak ill of him behind his back, turn over his old bottom, and make him embarrassed. So! He had a sense of humiliation all the time!

So! He wanted to go back to the Song Kingdom and ask his ancestors for his roots.

His ancestor is the royal family of the Song Kingdom! He! It is the blood of the royal family of the Song Kingdom.

But he lives in the country of Lu, but he is a poor man! Although he is a sergeant, he is a person who only has a name and no sergeant privileges.

Although his father was meritorious to the Lu Kingdom, the glory was no longer after his father's death.

"You?" Confucius was surprised.

But! It's not surprising to think that Fang Jishi is a special person.

"I saved some money! I can give up my profession as a Confucian scholar for a while, and I will no longer blow the trumpet for others and handle funerals. When I was at someone's funeral, I felt sad to see the pain of separation from other people's loved ones. It often reminds me of my mom and dad! Especially my mother!

And also! When I see some people die not only do not grieve, but also think about how to inherit the ancestral property, or hereditary privileges. When I watch these people do whatever it takes, my heart hurts even more! ……

So! I decided to go back to Song! To find the glory of the ancestors, to find the true pursuit of the ancestors! We need to live, we need a safe and harmonious living environment! Although we have weekly rituals, not many of us follow them anymore. People who follow the rites of the week are considered to be pedantic. And those who betrayed, on the contrary, lived a nourishing life.

In this changing social environment, most people live a life of contradiction and misery! They don't know if they choose to follow the weekly rites and the weekly system? Or do you choose betrayal? ……”

Through the nature of wine, Confucius gushed endlessly.

Helian didn't take Confucius seriously at first, but after listening to Confucius's explanation, she felt that this person was as kind as her husband's foundation. Therefore! The mindset is slowly changing. looked at Confucius's eyes, and there was less disdain and more admiration.

"Then when are you going to go to Song Kingdom?" Fang Jishi asked.

"Me?" Confucius was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "I haven't thought about it yet!" The main thing is that there is not much money yet! I? I think? When you arrive in the Song Kingdom, you need a lot of money! ”

"Actually! If you go to the Song Kingdom, you can also make money! You can also handle funerals for others, huh? ”

"But me? I don't want to be in this profession anymore! I? Confucius made up his mind and said, "When I say goodbye to the past, I will not do this business anymore!" ”

"Why? I think this line of work is very profitable! You? ”

"This is the profession of Confucianism! It's not a profession for a person with the rank of a sergeant......," Confucius said.

Fang Jishi interrupted: "You? Do you look down on your profession? ”

"Nope! No! I don't! But! This society! People in this society, people with Confucian status and above look down on this profession! Furthermore! I am a non-commissioned person, and I have to engage in a profession equal to that of a non-commissioned officer! ”

"And what kind of career are you going to pursue?" Fang Jishi asked again.

"Me?" Confucius's face flushed, and then returned to normal. said: "I want to be a gentleman!" ”

"Mr. Dang?"

"I'm going to spread my knowledge! I think! This society needs education so much! I want everyone in the world to be educated......"

"Everyone in the world is busy with three meals a day, who wants to come and learn from you? Who has that time? ”

"I don't charge them tuition!"

"Then why are you going to support yourself?"

"Me?" Confucius couldn't answer for a while!

He really hasn't thought about it well yet.

It's a great idea that you want universal education, but who's going to feed you? And also! Even if you don't charge tuition, the poor still think they don't have time. If you have that time to study, you might as well do more things in a variety of ways. Only by doing more things in a variety of ways can we support ourselves and live a better life.

"Where's your phone! Remember what you said, brother! Anyone who is undecided to ask Baidu! I? I'll Baidu it! Confucius remembered that Fang Jishi still had a mobile phone on his body.

Fang Jishi shook his head and said, "I left him in Luoyi!" Give it to the crown prince Ji Meng! ”

"Prince Ji Meng? Prince Ji Meng, you also know ......"

Confucius paused at this point, and he saw that Helian was glaring at him.

And also! Previously, Fang Jishi had already said a lot about Luoyi and Lao Tzu's preaching. As you can imagine! His last trip to Luoyi was very informative.

"Don't ask! The less you know about the royal business, the better! Otherwise! Not good for you! ”

"Hmm!" Confucius nodded.

Not only the Son of Heaven's family in Luoyi, but also a small vassal country like Lu State, there are a lot of affairs of the princes' families, which are too complicated.
