At the beginning, everyone didn't pay attention, what is the relationship between Zinian and Helian and Confucius?

Everyone still thinks that these two people are Confucius's companions.

I found out later! These two were students of Confucius.

They were not only students of Confucius, but also people who knew martial arts, and they were protective of Confucius.

Suddenly! Many people were surprised!

I thought: How can Kong Qiu be virtuous? Can convince two people his age? Are people willing to follow him to protect him and recognize him as a teacher?

The age of Zinian and Helian is a few years different from Confucius, and from the outside, they are about the same age.

After the "exam", everyone really understood why Zinian and Helian were so convinced of him. Not to mention that his peers believe in him, even those of us who are self-righteous are convinced, aren't we?

"What? Those two little babies are Qiu'er's students? Impossible, right? When Shen Lao heard about it for the first time, he couldn't believe it.

Later, when he saw that Confucius was really extraordinary, Shen Lao changed his attitude.

"Good! Good! His father used to be martial arts and martial arts, and he was virtuous in the world! All of us have been blessed by him! Good! Good! One article and one martial arts! Good! The text is talented, and if there is talent, there will be people who will support each other. Good! Seemingly! Qiu'er, he is destined to be outstanding in talent and morality! ”

Shen Lao complimented.

This day! There was still no news from the descendants of the tiger, so Shen Lao called Confucius over and asked.

After the coronation ceremony, Confucius moved out of the inn of the Song shopkeeper in Qiu Town and lived in Shen Lao's house. The others also followed and lived on Shen Lao's side.

In ancient times, people didn't pay attention to living in star-rated hotels, as long as they didn't live outside, they could live in a room.

"Hil! No! Confucius! You? What are your plans for the future? Shen Lao asked.

You're about to get married, what will you do in the future? Or continue to be a Confucian scholar, be a drummer, and handle funerals for others? Still is?

Shen Lao's meaning is obvious, he does not want Confucius to continue to be a Confucian scholar and a drummer. Because! His father was a scholar!

Furthermore! His nephew Confucius was so good, and he should no longer engage in the profession of Confucianism. If he is a scholar, he should engage in a career that is in line with the status of a scholar.

Although engaged in the profession of Confucianism, Confucius had a high income. If he brought a few apprentices as helpers, the income would be higher. But anyway! That's not a profession for a person with a sergeant status.

Seriously! When he heard that Confucius was engaged in the cause of Confucianism and became a drummer, Shen Lao's heart was very sad. Father Confucius was a scholar and a meritorious person in the Lu country. But in the hands of his son, he fell to this point.

That sister-in-law! It all started with that sister-in-law!

Mrs. Sister-in-law is so powerful, he can be regarded as having understood.

So! In order to make a living, Confucius had to engage in the profession of Confucianism and act as a drummer for other people's funerals.

All this was forced by my sister-in-law!

As you can imagine! Since the death of Confucius's father, how much suffering has Confucius's mother and son experienced!

When Shen Lao thought of this, he couldn't help but respect Mother Confucius. What kind of woman is this "sister-in-law" who follows her brother?

She was able to raise her son alone after her husband's death, and! What a great mother to raise such a wonderful son!

"I want to be a gentleman, educate students, and cultivate talents for the country!" Confucius replied.

Of course! This is not the original words of Confucius, but is translated from modern languages.

"Hmmm! Good! Shen Lao nodded with satisfaction.

"But? In this troubled world, how many can afford to pay the tuition? How many people can go to school? Isn't it? Hil! I think you should think about whether you can have a chance to enter the office and become an official! With your talents, it is not a problem to be an official! You're a sergeant. The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulate that the status of a scholar can be an official. So! The weekly system stipulates the selection system of 'Dining Fellows', and specifically selects non-commissioned talents......"

Hearing Shen Lao talk about the feast, Confucius's face changed on the spot. Thinking about being driven out and humiliated by Yang Hu, there is still a shadow in his heart.

Therefrom! If you want to be an official in Lu State, it may be difficult to do so.

As an official in Lu State, you must deal with Ji Pingzi. And Yang Hu is a retainer of Ji Pingzi's family, so naturally he is indispensable to have a relationship with him. There is such a person as Yang Hu who is an official in Lu State, and he has contacts with him from time to time, it is conceivable! People continue to manipulate you, find you trouble, create trouble, and create rumors to ruin your reputation, so that you can't be an official and live normally.

In this kind of private scene, Zinian and Helian are not present. Otherwise! Ha Lian must be talking nonsense again.

Confucius was humiliated at the banquet of Ji Pingzi's family, and Helian knew. She had heard all the gossip about Confucius in Qufu City.

With Helian's immature temperament, she can't hide her words if she has something to say.

"Qiu wants to open a private school first and teach students. If I have the chance, I will be a leader. Confucius whispered.

"But? What about the origins of the students? ”

Shen Lao asked: "The Qufu City of your Lu Kingdom is so big, how many students do you have?" How many can afford to go to school? Like Ji Pingzi and other three major families, their children will not go to your private school, they have their own husband.

And Qufu City is so big, how many people can afford to go to private school?

And also! You are so young, who believes in your knowledge? It takes time to get people to believe in you! We tested you before because you are our own person and like you, so we asked you! And someone else? Who would be so direct? So! It takes time for others to know whether you are knowledgeable or not......"

"Qiu doesn't plan to charge much tuition!"

"Then what do you live on? You? You're about to get married, you? You are the one with a family burden! You have to feed your wife and children! ”

"I'm overcharging students!"

"And how many students are you going to take?" Shen Lao asked in disbelief.

"I want universal education so that everyone who wants to go to school can go to school!"

"You?"

"I classify and teach!"

"Categorize and teach?"

"Me? Let them learn from each other! ”

"Learning from each other?"

"I let them work and study!"

"Work-study?"

……

Confucius said all his thoughts one by one.

"You? You? You? The more Shen Lao listened, the more he couldn't believe it. At last! Said: "Good! Hil! I believe in you! You can do it! I'm old! Old! ”

After listening to Confucius's thoughts, Shen Lao was deeply impressed. Confucius's thoughts made him unable to find loopholes. It should be: he has already thought about it, thought about it for a long time, and thought it through, otherwise it wouldn't be so perfect.

You suspect that he has no income, and he says he overcharges students. Charge less tuition, charge more students, and the income will go up the same.

You suspect that he doesn't have enough manpower, and he says he classifies and teaches at different times. And also! Seniors teach younger students, and students learn from each other......
