"Yes! The ten-year cold window is very hard, the head is overhanging, and the cone is piercing. ”

"But those who live better than you, how do you know that they are not hard? How do you know how their parents, grandparents, and grandparents came from? ”

"It took them several generations of hard work to get to where they are today, and you want to surpass them and become a big official in ten years, do you think it's fair?"

The students didn't know how to answer.

Outside the classroom, Meng Fuzi and Qian Wantong were also a little confused.

Aren't they all for the weak and for the readers? How can it be the other way around?

"Obviously, it's not fair, so most people won't be able to get famous, and maybe none of you will be in the future."

"But, because of that, is it possible not to study?"

"On the contrary, you should read more."

"Because reading is an accumulation process, you don't have high school, but your next generation has a high starting point, you are literate and your next generation will not be illiterate, you are admitted to Xiucai, your next generation will not have a worse starting point than Xiucai, accumulation from generation to generation, scholarly family, nothing more than that."

"And if you don't study and are willing to dig in the fields, then your next generation will probably be like this."

"Sir, that's not right!"

A student said, "There is a man in our village, and his son didn't even get into Xiucai. ”

Lin Bai smiled and asked, "Did he work hard?" ”

This! The student didn't know how to answer.

Lin Bai pointed at the little fat man, "For example, Qian Duoduo is a rich second generation at first glance." ”

"Hahaha!!"

The students burst into laughter.

Lin Bai continued: "But did his family's money fall from the sky? Apparently not, it was his father, grandfather, and even grandparents, who had worked hard from generation to generation. ”

"If Qian Duoduo doesn't work hard, doesn't learn to manage his wealth, and does nothing, then it will be a matter of time before he loses his family property."

"His family has enough wealth to keep him fed and clothed, but what about his son? Probably only had to go to the field to dig food, and if his son was still the same, what about his grandson? And what about the next generation? ”

"Maybe it's gone, and by that time I won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law if I don't starve to death."

There was another burst of laughter.

But Qian Duoduo's face became a little pale, as if he had foreseen his future.

"Sir is just an analogy, you can also substitute yourself and ask yourself, are you working hard enough? What does the future hold? ”

This time, no one in the class laughed.

Lin Bai continued: "There was once a gentleman who asked his students why they were studying, some said that they were studying for the sake of becoming officials, some said they were for making a fortune, and some people said that they were for the sake of knowledge. ”

Outside the window, Meng Fuzi's eyes showed a gleam.

Qian Wantong was also surprised.

"That student's ambition is too big, we won't evaluate, Mr. wants to ask you today, what are you studying?"

The students were silent, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"Sir came to tell you, it is for the efforts and accumulation of several generations of your family not to be in vain, for your next generation to suffer less and have a better future, and the prosperity of a family is accumulated through the efforts of generations."

"Every penny of your efforts will not be in vain, it has been accumulated there, maybe it will not be reflected in you, but one day it will blossom and bear fruit."

"With a little more effort, this day will come sooner, otherwise, the efforts of several generations of your family will be in vain and ruined in your hands."

The class was silent, and many students showed shame on their faces.

The people of this era have a strong sense of family.

Meng Fuzi nodded with satisfaction.

Qian Wantong looked at his son's stunned appearance and was also very emotional.

It's almost the same, right?

Lin Bai glanced at everyone, and the conversation changed, "I really thought Mr. was napping just now?" Sir, I want to see your self-awareness. ”

"Only if you are willing to read, take the initiative to read, will it have an effect, otherwise it is just self-deception, from tomorrow, Mr. will not come to supervise your early reading, whether you take the initiative to read is up to you."

If it had been in the past, the classroom would have exploded.

But at this moment, the students were silent.

Give yourself a thumbs up!

Witty as I am!

In the morning, he can sleep more and be lazy, Lin Bai is happy in his heart.

"Sir, Fan Xiucai has been reading books for decades, but in the end he went crazy, and Ning Xiucai, why is this?"

There was silence for a moment, and a student asked.

"That's right! There are also people whose parents are also illiterate, but he has been lifted, why is that? ”

I'll it! Haven't played it yet.

If you ask me and I ask whom, Mr. just wants to be lazy.

Lin Bai was speechless, but still said: "First of all, we must know that everyone in this world is unique, some people are born to read, some people can draw, Qian Duoduo is very sensitive to numbers, this is their strength." ”

"Secondly, the purpose of reading is to learn from the experience of predecessors from books, you can be famous, you can also be a teacher, you can also learn recipes to become a cook, etc., the important thing is to use the knowledge in books to play to your strengths."

"Fan Xiucai's strength is not the imperial examination, but he only has fame in his eyes, which is not right, this is dead reading, reading dead books, three hundred and sixty lines, and he is the champion in his line."

A student said: "But no matter how good the food is, it's just a cook, inferior." ”

Lin Bai said: "Why do you think so? Mr. tells you that the profession will not be noble or low, whether it is the emperor or the pawn of the peddler, but the social division of labor is different, and there is no distinction between the high and the low. ”

"Whether a person is noble or not depends on his character, not his profession."

!

said hi, didn't keep your mouth shut, how can you talk nonsense.

Lin Bai hurriedly said: "Of course, you can't be blamed for this, Shi Nong and Gongshang, these classes are deeply ingrained in your hearts, and the status of merchants is the lowest, but in fact, if a country wants to be rich, it must attach importance to commerce and give merchants their due status." ”

Get! And a lot more.

Stop!

"You're still young, you don't understand these things yet, so let's stop here today! I'll talk to you about the Wealth of Nations when I have a chance. ”

Lin Bai hurriedly stopped the topic.

Outside the window, Meng Fuzi looked shocked, and Qian Wantong's eyes lit up, as if he saw a confidant, as a businessman, he had too deep a deep understanding.

Although his family has a lot of money, he is not a fart in front of the official master.

And what is the Wealth of Nations theory in the mouth of the other party?

He was very curious and couldn't help but want to step forward, but was pulled by Meng Fuzi.

"Let's go!"

The two returned to the gazebo.

"Master, why are you doing this? The student just wanted to get to know the gentleman. ”

Qian Wan channel.

Meng Fuzi snorted coldly, "What is there to get acquainted with, those words are rotten in the stomach, do you hear them?" ”

Qian Wantong smiled stunned, and immediately understood, those words were very rebellious, if they were spread, the school and Meng Fuzi were afraid that they would be greatly affected.

"Also, what are the Arabic numerals, you can use them yourself, don't spread them."

Qian Wantong nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, master, students understand." ”
