"Sir! We were wrong! Take our baby, right? We were wrong! When everyone saw Confucius coming, they put aside Zigong and gathered around Confucius to seek the Tao.

"You send the baby, it's too late for me to be happy! Let the baby go to class! Don't miss the baby! ......" Confucius naturally agreed.

If someone comes to your school, that's face and reputation, can you refuse?

But! Before he could finish speaking, Zigong came over to interrupt.

"Sir! Mr! Listen to me! I'm a businessman! You should listen to me! This tuition! Be sure to double it! Certain! Otherwise! I'm sorry sir, for your signboard! Mr! ”

Seeing that Confucius disagreed with him, Zigong hurriedly pushed Confucius to the side and shouted inside: "Yan Hui! Return! Come out! Come out! ……”

Yan Hui heard Zigong call him, trotted out, and asked what was the matter?

"You go and get the ledger out, and from today, from now on, the tuition fee will be doubled! Later! In due course, we will continue to raise the price! You know what? Our school is opened by Mr., and the school opened by Mr. should be charged higher than the school opened by others!

What's with? What is the reason? You know! The students trained by Mr.'s school can keep accounts for people in one year and settle accounts for people in two years. Which of the students who came out of the Mr. School is not a talent? That's it! The school opened by Mr. should be charged more than other people's schools......"

After Zigong finished explaining to Yan Hui, he pushed Yan Hui inside and asked him to go back and take out the account book and accept the new students.

Yan Hui naturally couldn't believe it, his eyes looked at Confucius, and he refused to leave. Without Confucius's instructions, he did not dare to obey Zigong. Yesterday's tuition refund, he was on Zigong's side. But today, Zigong asked for a tuition increase, and it doubled, which he couldn't accept.

Seeing that Yan Hui was disobedient, Zigong still looked at Confucius, waited for Confucius to speak, and quickly pushed Confucius aside and said, "Sir! Listen to me! You are not wrong to listen to my Zigong! I won't pit you, student! Here you go! Come! I'll explain it to you! ”

Under Zigong's push, Confucius had to follow Zigong and go back.

"What are you still doing? Listen to me! I'm a businessman! Opening a school is the same as doing business, no profit and still a hair? Go on? Seeing that Yan Hui was still looking at Confucius, Zigong shouted.

Yan Hui saw that Confucius did not stop him strongly, so he had to trot back to the house and take out the account book under Zigong's reprimand. According to Zigong, go and double the tuition fee.

"Zigong! You? Do you really want to double your tuition? You? Back inside the house, Confucius asked anxiously.

"Close! Be sure to double it! Zigong nodded affirmatively.

"You? Will you scare the students away by doing this? You? Originally, the tuition fee is so expensive, and the average person can't afford to go to school, how many people can afford it? Can they still afford to read this book? Especially at this time! I? Am I not? ”

Confucius wanted to say: I'm not? Yesterday, I also gave Wei Gong and Nanzi as an escort, running all over the street, and my reputation was ruined. On this cusp, how can tuition fees be raised, isn't this adding to the chaos?

"Don't worry! Mr! Students, can I still pit you? I'll only help you! Mr! You just listen to me, that's right! I'm a businessman, running around in the Great Zhou world, who haven't I seen? Don't worry about me! Mr! If you start a school like this, you won't be able to make a fortune for the rest of your life! ”

"What are you talking about? What to make a fortune? I am teaching and educating people and contributing to humanity! Where do you want to go? Why am I going to get rich? As long as there is food, it is enough! Confucius said.

"Sir! You? How did you become influenced by Taoism? What does it mean to have food to eat? Are you free? Isn't it? Is it enough to have something to eat? With Mr.'s money, how can he just have food? Isn't it? Then why are you still opening a school? Not yet? Isn't it?

Ok, good, good! You are not here to get rich, you are for the cause of education, to popularize culture, to teach and educate people. Ok, good, good! But have you thought about it? If you don't raise tuition, how can you increase the salary of substitute teachers? Isn't it? Mr?

It's enough that you can eat enough, this is your outlook on life, you can't represent the thoughts of all substitute teachers, right? Isn't it? Mr? Think about it? Zilu, Min Ziqian, Yan Hui and others, they work in the academy, if the salary is low, how can they support their families? Isn't it? You should put yourself in their shoes, right? Isn't it? Mr? ”

"Good, good! I think about things from their point of view, I can't impose them, impose my will on them, impose my own outlook on life on others, okay? But you? You've got to explain it to me? This price has risen, if there is no source of students, this is not a self-defeating way out? ”

"Sir! You can rest assured! Seeing that Confucius was relieved, Zigong smiled and said: "There are many benefits to doubling the tuition fee!" ”

"What are the benefits of doubling tuition fees?" Confucius asked incredulously.

"Sir, listen to me!" Zigong nodded and said, "One!" Those parents who send their babies to school must be distressed after paying the tuition. So! They will be more concerned about the baby's learning, urging and supervising the baby's learning. Such! Isn't it good for students' learning? Isn't it? It is never enough to rely on school education alone, but also to cooperate with the family, so that it can be effective!

The second thing is! Your worries, sir! Do you think yesterday was 'morally turbid'? Is it morally corrupt to be an escort to Nanzi? Not really! You have to put your heart in your belly, be bold, and be a high-profile person in an open and honest manner! That's the only way! You are a sage!

Do you understand what I mean? If you also think that you are morally corrupt to be an escort to Nanzi, then! It means that you are not a sage, and you can't tolerate people's faults. Isn't it? As a sage, you educate and influence others, isn't it? ”

"This?" Under the persuasion of Zigong, Confucius nodded, feeling that what Zigong said seemed to have some truth.

"Sir! You just listen to me! That's right! Are students still cheating you? Isn't it? As you said, sir? Did you sleep with Nanzi? Isn't it? Your consistent style is there, how can you sleep Nanzi? Isn't it? So do I, students! When did you ever pit Mr.? Isn't it? The student's character is in front of Mr.? Isn't it?

You listen to me! I'll tell Yan Hui later, so that he can rest assured and boldly double the tuition! And also! Sir, haven't you made up your mind too? Isn't it? Since you have been tricked by Nanzi, let's get the trick! Be a high-profile person! Pretend to be a sage! Isn't it? Mr? Didn't you decide to change your image today, be a high-profile person, and preach to others? Isn't it? ”

Under Zigong's persuasion, Confucius nodded and said, "Good! I'll listen to you! You have more social experience than I do! I'm going to step out of the small world I've created and go out into the big world! ”
