Chapter 833: The Distinction of Righteousness and Benefit

"Hehe, Zihou, if you are nervous, you can talk to us. Our colleagues will definitely help if they can. Why do you bother to get contaminated with such a copper smell, which makes people laugh at it. ”

Zhu Ping'an just entered the Wuyi Palace, a middle-aged official who had not usually dealt with much, stepped forward very enthusiastically at this moment, patted Zhu Ping'an on the shoulder, hehe, and said to Zhu Ping'an with a smile.

Seems to be warm and kind.

Yes, the only word "looks" can be used.

The acting skills are not online, and the whole process is not distracted.

In other words, you can't hide the contempt on your face, and the hehe just now, the ridicule is too much......

At this time, I have a sentence that MMP doesn't know whether to talk about or not.

Zhu Ping'an glanced up at this person, pulled the corners of his mouth, and slandered in his heart, but he smiled slightly, "Thank you for your concern, I don't know if the adult is talking about Zhu Ji's fast food?" ”

"Well, that's exactly what happened." The middle-aged official nodded.

"I don't think it's a big deal." Zhu Ping'an shrugged his shoulders indifferently, with a calm face, "Three hundred and sixty lines are the champion."

"Nothing? Zihou doesn't know the difference between righteousness and benefit? When the middle-aged official heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laughed, as if he had heard a big joke.

The distinction between righteousness and benefit, of course Zhu Ping'an knows.

The distinction between righteousness and benefit is a basic thesis of Confucianism, which is the question of whether people should pursue righteousness or benefit.

Sage Confucius's sentence "The gentleman is in righteousness, and the villain is in profit", which laid the basic tone; Mencius's "Gou for the sake of the latter righteousness and profit first, do not take and never get tired", further expounded the theory of righteousness; Xunzi's "for profit, fighting for goods, and profit-seeking, is the courage of Jia thieves", and it completely knocked Shang into the ground.

These are the mainstream ideologies of Confucianism, which emphasize righteousness and despise merchants, that is, "the so-called last, industry and commerce".

"The gentleman is said to be righteous, and the villain is said to be profitable, so the farmer is the industry and commerce, and the business is at the end." The middle-aged official talked eloquently.

"Definitely. In ancient times, there were four people, scholars, farmers, daily workers, and merchants. If a scholar is diligent in his studies, he can be knighted; If you are diligent in the fields, you can gather crops; If you are diligent in your skills, you can easily eat and drink; If you are diligent in trade, you can accumulate goods. These four are the people's own business, and since the birth of the people, there has been no one who can change it, regardless of the order of the high and the low. Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly, and put forward a view that was different from the mainstream concept of this era.

That's the difference of the times.

Although in the Ming Dynasty, the status of merchants was much better, but it still cannot be compared with modern times. They would never have imagined that a businessman would be called "Daddy" by the whole people in a few hundred years, and they could never have imagined that hundreds of years later would be the conglomerate politics of the Western powers......

"It's ridiculous, how can you not distinguish between high and low. Xunzi said: For profit, fighting for goods, mercenary views, is the courage of Jia thieves. ”

Another official stood up to refute Zhu Ping'an, with a young man's expression that your thoughts are very dangerous.

"That's it, it's thick. Businessmen value profit and are despised by others. "The Book of Rites: The Royal System" says: Industry and commerce 'go out of the countryside and do not have a tooth with the soldiers', which is the proof. Immediately after that, officials chimed in.

These officials are all deep-rooted literati in their bones, and their minds are full of all kinds of inferior qualities, only high reading.

Of course, the reason why so many officials stood up to ridicule Zhu Ping'an was that there were reasons for standing in line.

Zhu Ping'an is the unveiler of the Taicang case.

The Taicang case involved many people, and many officials were fined silver, dozens of officials in the Yan Party were fined, and many people in Li Mo's party were also fined. Many of the people present were fined a lot of money, or some relatives and friends were fined a lot of money because of this.

If it weren't for Zhu Ping'an, a mourning star, I wouldn't have been fined...... This is the voice of many officials who have been fined.

It can be said that Zhu Ping'an almost offended half of the officialdom with his own strength.

Of course, when they heard that Zhu Ping'an himself was also fined, many officials let out a little bad breath in their hearts, they deserved it, and they took it upon themselves. Later, when I heard that Zhu Ping'an was punished for bankruptcy and forced to go into business, my heart was even more refreshed.

When he learned that Zhu Ping'an's business was still a stinky pig business, he couldn't help but laugh.

Zhuang Yuanlang is the best among the scholars, and among the thousands of horses, he took the lead in crossing the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination, just like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and as a result, you jumped over the dragon gate and went to toss the pig into the water.

Isn't that a joke!

"No, you can't generalize. Husbands and businessmen and scholars are different and concentric, so those who are good at business, in the field of wealth and goods, and cultivate a wise line, is therefore beneficial but not dirty. ”

Zhu Ping'an arched his hand and replied lightly.

Although the methods of making a living for merchants and scholars were different, their hearts were the same. People who are good at business, although they are boating in the sea of business, but their moral cultivation is also noble, just like the lotus flower is not stained by the mud, although the businessman seeks profit, but it can be noble.

Zi said: The gentleman is righteous, and the villain is profitable; Meng Ziyun: Gou for the sake of the righteousness and the first profit, do not take and never get tired; Xun Ziyan: For the sake of profit, fighting for goods and wealth, mercenary view, is the courage of Jia thief. Zi Houru said that the four people do not distinguish between high and low, who is the person? ”

Another official got up and joined the ranks of refuting Zhu Ping'an, bluntly saying that what Zhu Ping'an said was unreasonable and unfounded, and it was a personal quibble.

"What Mr. Yang Ming said." Zhu Ping'an replied.

"Mr. Yangming?" Everyone was stunned.

Wang Yangming can be said to be a legend in the Ming Dynasty, a legendary life, a legendary ability, and no less influence than Zhu Xi.

"Yes. Mr. Yang Ming's academic tenet of 'learning to conscience through things' is known to all of you. The so-called 'Gewu to conscience' means that everyone has a conscience in their hearts, that is to say, no matter what you do, whether you are a scholar or an agricultural businessman, you have a conscience in your heart, and you can have a conscience through Gewu. It is also for this reason that Mr. Yang Ming said that "the streets are full of saints", and also emphasized that businessmen can also be saints and sages, and he said, "Although they buy and sell all day long, it does not harm them to be saints and sages". Since, Shinong, industry and commerce can be holy, how can there be a distinction between high and low. ”

Zhu Ping'an glanced around at everyone, and unhurriedly moved out Wang Yangming's theory of conscience.

Pull the flag to make a tiger skin, and the effect is still there.

After Zhu Ping'an moved out of Wang Yangming's object to conscience, everyone didn't think of how to refute Zhu Ping'an in a short time.

When they figured out how to refute Zhu Ping'an, they found that Zhu Ping'an had already left.

I only saw Zhu Ping'an's back, and when Zhu Ping'an's back disappeared around the corner, everyone couldn't help but mock in a low voice.

"Hmph, it's a bunch of nonsense, misinterpreting Mr. Yangming's original intention."

"Yes."

"Advocate the equality of farmers, industry and commerce, you are a pig in the water, even a businessman is not despised by businessmen."

"Hehe, I think he is stupid at reading, he is in business, and he is in business, and he is going to do a pig business. Pigs go into the water and other lowly things, and that one will eat them. Look, after he Zhu Ji opens, there will be times when he cries. ”

"Hahaha, I'm afraid it's going to close soon after it opens......"

"Hahaha, that makes sense."
