"I know everything! Each of us has to have one or more survival skills, like me! Not only teach, but also teach students the six arts, isn't it? In the past, I was a Confucian scholar and played the trumpet for other people's funerals! I was at the time! I don't care at all.,Very diligent.,Do everything.。 Generally my owners like me and pay me more than others......" Confucius sighed.

The shopkeeper saw that Confucius was very serious, but he did not agree at all. No! It's not disapproval, approval is approval, isn't it? Is he going to hit the other side? No! It is to provoke him and make him remember it for a long time.

So! Interrupted: "Gotta gotcha! Don't say you're going to do this! I've heard: You don't divide the grains, don't you? ”

"This?" Confucius's expression suddenly changed drastically.

Is! Which pot is not opened? It's not the shopkeeper who hurts him, it's really his weakness: he doesn't divide the grains.

"You admit it, right? Min Ziqian! You see! You see! That's your sir! He doesn't divide grains, so why does he teach his students? Hey! The shopkeeper looked at Min Ziqian, who looked stupid, and smiled proudly.

"Three hundred and sixty lines, where can you do it?" Confucius did not get angry and patiently explained.

"My family has no land, so I don't know how to grow crops, and how can people who don't grow crops know so much? Even if it's a crop, one variety is planted in one place, isn't it? The temperature in the north is low, and the varieties planted are different from those in the south. The temperature in the south is high, and the grain grows fast, isn't it?

As a sergeant, I don't need to farm. So! I didn't learn how to farm. My mother taught me to read and write since I was a child, and later it was Xili. And then later! My mother saved money for me to go to school. Read and read and learn skills that match your sergeant status. So! I don't divide the grain! ”

"Sir! Mr! Woooooo Seeing Confucius admit defeat, Min Ziqian cried in disappointment. It's true! It hurts my self-esteem!

Furthermore! Hearing Confucius talk about the status level, Min Ziqian was also deeply touched. Originally! His status is a little more noble than Confucius, and he is also a descendant of the Lu royal family. But now? He has been reduced to a civilian. If you are not a real civilian, what is the difference between you and a civilian? Just like Confucius back then, he was nominally a scholar, but in fact, he was just a Confucian student.

The shopkeeper did not let Confucius go because of this, and said quietly: "In today's troubled times, where is there any hierarchy and identity? The winner is the king, the loser is the villain, today is the king, tomorrow may become the unjust. Today he is a descendant of the royal family, and tomorrow he may become a slave. Isn't it?

So! Lao Tzu said! In troubled times, there is no hierarchical identity. In this world, there is no hierarchical identity. Man, like all things, comes from the creation of heaven and earth. So! All beings are equal.

So! Lao Tzu said! In troubled times, we must learn the most basic ways to survive. You don't divide the grain, what is the reason? Is it that you position yourself as a person with a sergeant status and don't need to farm, so you don't know how to farm, and you don't divide the grains? Isn't it?

You have to think of yourself as an ordinary person, a commoner, nothing. If that's the case? In this age of farming, how can you not divide the grains? Isn't it? ”

"Count me wrong! Okay? I was young and ignorant, I was wrong! Okay? Confucius recognized the Tao.

And then! Asked: "You say reconstruct society, how to reconstruct it?" Where did you just go? You say, 'Lao Tzu said!' In troubled times, we need to rebuild a new social order through our own strength. First of all, save yourself! Then it's an effective combination. 'That? How to reconstruct and how to combine? ”

"Good question!" The shopkeeper said, "Lao Tzu said! ……”

In fact! None of them were said by Lao Tzu, they were all said by himself in the name of Lao Tzu.

"Lao Tzu said! Do we have to be self-reliant first? Isn't it? Save oneself? Isn't it? And then! We take care of our parents, elders, spouses, children, and offspring, if we can......"

"How can you save yourself first?" Min Ziqian interrupted: "We want to save people!" You have to save your family first, and then the people around you. How can you save yourself? Did Lao Tzu say this? No wonder I've heard people say that Lao Tzu's Taoist ideas are selfish! You? ”

When Confucius saw Min Ziqian interjecting, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him. And then! Motioning to the shopkeeper, he continued.

The shopkeeper was very angry and shouted at Min Ziqian: "You can't save your own life, how can you save people?" Just like your husband! His own life is hard to save, how can he save the world? Isn't it? You'd better ask for more blessings! ”

Min Ziqian interrupted again: "What's wrong with my husband?" Isn't my husband alive and well now? ”

"Humph!" The shopkeeper snorted: "Your husband was not killed by the Ji family, it's a blessing!" What does it mean that he is depraved by three? It's a blessing not to kill him! You? ”

"Ziqian!" Seeing that Min Ziqian was still arguing with the shopkeeper, Confucius stopped talking.

"I'm too lazy to fight with you!" The shopkeeper glanced at Min Ziqian with disdain and looked at Confucius.

"You say? How to reconstruct a new society? Confucius nodded.

The shopkeeper then continued: "Didn't you just say that? Save oneself? When we are lucky enough to survive this troubled world, don't we? We're going to do what we can to protect our families, aren't we? In this troubled world, one person's power is limited, isn't it? So! Isn't it more powerful for us to unite as a family? Isn't it?

In any situation, especially in times of crisis! People all over the world are no longer credible, but! Our dad is credible! Our spouses are credible! Our children are trustworthy! Isn't it?

If you refute! You're screwed. A person who doesn't even feel credible about his parents, spouse and children, then? Who else can we trust? Of course! Nor absolutely. In some cases, this is the case! But! The common situation in society is: parents, spouses and children are our most trustworthy people! Isn't it?

And then! It's one of our family! What is trustworthy about people in the family? Because! They are the descendants of our fathers, our elders' brothers and sisters, our ancestors, they are a family! So! Blood is thicker than water, and people in the same family are trustworthy.

And then! Let's unite the people around us, the people of the same region, and the people of the same destiny! Let's all organize and form a bigger team to overcome the difficulties! Defeat the enemy! Beat it all! Such! A very large team has been formed, a large territory has been occupied, and this is our country! ……”

Confucius interrupted, "What do you mean? Is it a rebellion? ”

"Refactoring is not the same as rebellion!" The shopkeeper retorted.
