Chapter 789: From Ideal to Reality
Mobile reading
"That's right! Who said that? What did Fang Zhong say? Sir wants to step out of the little world you created and into the real world. This is not the country of Lu, nor is it in your home or your school. You are not the Si Kou of the Lu Kingdom, you are just an ordinary person walking in the world of the Great Zhou, an ordinary person! Mr! You know what I mean? You have to come out of the ideal world and into the real world! ……”
Zigong looked at Confucius and said seriously.
Confucius nodded and said, "I am educated!" A ragged colt may make a good horse! I'm outdated! Oh, yes! I used to live in an ideal world, in an ideal world that I designed. Think! As long as everyone is like me, the world will be a better place! As long as we all work together to spread my doctrine and ideas to the world, and everyone is just like us, the world will become a better place!
It turned out that it wasn't, it was just wishful thinking on my part!
That's just me imposing on others and asking them to accept it. Others were reluctant to accept it, but under our persecution, they ostensibly agreed. And actually! They didn't really say yes! Oh, yes! Only when others agree in their hearts is they agreed. The superficial and verbal promises are all false and untrustworthy!
I just live in the little world I've created, I live among my students and the people who know me well. So! I can live my life the way I envisioned it. But once I leave this small world I created and come to the Great Zhou Dynasty, I will become an ordinary person.
I'm not a sage, and no one else thinks of me as a sage.
In this real world, there are no sages. In this real world, everyone is just trying to live. Alive! To live is to live! Dream! It's all a lie! In real life, dreams are just self-soothing!
Zigong! I listen to you! If you increase the tuition fee, you will increase the tuition fee! I don't care! The academy has your shares, and you will manage it in the future! I don't want profits, you can raise the salaries of substitute teachers! ”
After Confucius finished speaking, he waved his arm at Zigong and motioned for Zigong to go out and manage the school with full authority.
"Howler!" Zigong said yes and went out.
When I came outside, I saw that Yan Hui was in a daze, and no one went through the admission procedures. He said to Yan Hui, "You go and ask Mr.?" Is there a tuition increase? As Sir just said, I have full control over the affairs of the school. ”
"But this?" Yan Hui whispered: "None of them are willing to sign up and pay tuition?" Think about it? That's double! By the previous standard, not many people were willing to send their babies to school, you see? ”
"You don't have to worry about it! Shall you go and ask the sir? Zigong waved his arm at Yan Hui.
Yan Hui glanced at Zigong suspiciously, and when he saw that Zigong was serious, he got up and walked back to the house.
"Sir? This, this, this? Did you really promise Zigong? Doubling tuition? Yan came back to Confucius and asked.
Confucius did not sit in his seat, but stood in the room as if he had no master. He didn't know: Is it right to listen to Zigong?
Seeing that Yan Hui was back, he asked him, looked at Yan Hui for a long time, and then said, "Yes!" Zigong is a shareholder, and Zigong will be in charge of the school in the future, and you will work for him! ”
"Sir? This? Yan Hui said suspiciously: "I don't think it's appropriate to do this, right?" Mr? Aren't we breaking our promises? Isn't it? How did we charge before? Why is the price suddenly rising now? Mr? Isn't that a breach of trust? ”
"Alas!" Confucius sighed, "I don't want to do that either!" But Zigong is a businessman with a good head, and he convinced me! I think too? Let him try? ”
"How did he convince him?"
Zigong said! This is the country of Wei, not the country of Lu, not in the small world I created, this is in the real world. Before! I live in the little world I created. As Fang Zhong said, once I leave the small world, I can't adapt to the big world outside.
In the big world outside, opening a school is just like doing business, it is about strategy, and if you don't pay attention to strategy, not only will you not make money, but you will also lose all your money!
In a word! In the country of Lu, he said the words of the country of Lu, and when he came outside, he said the words of the outside. The opening of the school is like doing business, where can the prices of the goods bought and sold on the street remain unchanged? Isn't it? In a famine year, you can't buy food even if you have money? Isn't it? That's the market! Reality! It's not what we think it is.
So! I still decided to give up the school and delegate the management of the school to Zigong, so that he can take care of it! Yan Hui! Later! You work for him, ask him for wages, and listen to him! ”
"This? Mr? Yan Hui couldn't accept it for a while, but he had no other choice, Leng was there.
Confucius saw that Yan Hui couldn't accept it, and said: "There is another meaning to increase tuition!" Yan Hui! This is also the reason why Zigong persuaded me! ”
"Sir?"
Zigong said? Wasn't I being tricked by Nanzi? Am I not morally corrupt? Ke Zigong said! Let's not think so! We need to be firm in our faith and believe that we are innocent. Just like Nanzi, no matter what the world says about her, she is still her. This! It shows that she Nanzi is better than my Kongqiu. In this case, she doesn't care and is not swayed by public opinion.
And what about my Kongqiu? On the surface! I'm still a sage. If I can't believe in myself and am swayed by public opinion, am I still a sage?
So! Zigong said! I want to be a high-profile person, and I want to face real life bravely and face the pressure of public opinion as a sage person. I want to resist the pressure of public opinion, and I am willing to be tricked by Nanzi, help her speak, and prove her Nanzi's innocence!
Do you understand what Zigong means? Zigong means that! I am a sage, and the school I opened should charge a higher fee than others. And also! I, Kongqiu, was the first to pioneer a private school, the first to open a school, and I have more than 30 years of experience in running a school. So! My school fees should be higher! Do you understand what Zigong means? Do you know what I mean? ”
Yan Hui nodded and responded, "I understand!" Mr! ”
"Then go out and do something! Remember! In the future, it will be for Zigong to do things! Listen to Zigong! Learn from Zigong! You have to serve! He is a businessman, he runs around in the Great Zhou world, and he has come into contact with many people, and he has dealt with people from all walks of life.
And we! They are just living in a small world of their own making. We are not familiar with the big world outside! The world is so big, people in different places and countries are different, folk customs are different, and personalities and ideas are different. You can deal with all kinds of people in order to adapt to this big world. Get out there! Surviving in the big world is the last word! ”
"Yes! Mr! Yan replied, and walked outside with heavy steps.
