Chapter 877: Give Zeng Shen a Move
"Actually, you can choreograph, but you don't dare to choreograph that. And also! You can't be the master. Because you don't have that much money to burn, you can only ask Zigong and them for help. Zigong is the richest and willing to pay, so what he says counts. If he doesn't agree, there's nothing you can do! Lege said.
"Woooooo Zeng Shen cried: "Yes! Uncle Le! ”
"In that case! It's easy to do! Le Ge looked at Zeng Shen and nodded affirmatively.
"What to do? Uncle Le! ”
"You still have to arrange it according to your ideas, and first arrange a version that you like and are satisfied with. I believe! What you like and are satisfied with must be what I am satisfied with. And then what! You then arrange according to Zigong's intentions and try to meet their requirements. ”
"This?" Zeng Shen asked suspiciously, "But I don't have that much money?" With my financial resources, I can't burn many copies. If you want to publish a book, you can only rely on Zigong and them? Only rely on everyone's financial resources? ”
"Actually! There is not much difference between your version and the version that Zigong asked for and hoped for! Zeng Shen! You? You don't feel it? ”
"This?"
"It's all Confucius' quotation anyway, isn't it? Are they all conversational? Isn't it? Isn't it just to arrange as many people's names as possible? Isn't it? ”
"This?"
"There is nothing wrong with what Confucius said in the early days, for example! Regarding the weekly ceremony, isn't it? There is a lot of change in your thinking in your later years, but you can choose to write another book later? Isn't it? You're going to write a book that belongs to you, aren't you? ”
"This? I? Zeng Shen wanted to be modest, but in the end he didn't say it.
What else is modest? You don't even have the ability to arrange the Analects now, so how can you write your own book?
"Actually! As a book of Confucius's doctrine and thought, it is not only arranged by you alone, but must be rearranged by later generations in the future. So! You don't have to worry. You still write according to your ideas, and someone will add new content to you in the future! Or! Deletion of some content. You know what? ”
"This?"
"That is to say! What you compile is not necessarily the 'final draft', and future generations must still have to rearrange it. So! I mean! Since Zigong and they are in a hurry to publish a book and produce results, then satisfy them. ”
"Meet them?"
"Now that this is the case, what else can you do? Isn't it? Now that Zigong has been burned, what else can I do? Let's have a few more versions! Which version will survive in the end is up to history! ”
"This?"
"So! You need to write your own version as soon as possible. And then! Do your best to burn it and publish your Zengzi version of the Analects. ”
"Uncle Le? This? Zeng Shen asked in disbelief, "Me? With my financial resources? I? How many books can I burn? ”
"Can you be flexible?"
"Flexible? How to be flexible? Zeng asked puzzled.
"Didn't you say? Zigong, they still have a sum of money with you? The money to raise Zisi? What did you students donate back then? Isn't it? Can you take out this money and use it? ”
"No, you can't!" Zeng Shen interrupted: "This money is specially reserved for Zisi, I can't move it!" ”
"Where did Zisi get the money?"
"This?"
"Why do they want to give money to Zisi and raise Zisi?"
"This?"
Le Ge enlightened: "Not yet? Zigong and others donated money to Zisi for the sake of Confucius! Isn't it? So! This money belongs to Confucius. They give you the money for safekeeping, and that's believing you. So! You only need to be responsible for raising Zisi and educating adults, and that's it. ”
"This?"
"I think? Zisi, who has grown up, won't want you to raise it anymore, right? He's not a fool, he can feed himself! He can't live his life on the money you donate, can he? ”
"This?"
"If Zisi lives his life on your donations, then you won't donate. Isn't it? So! Zisi is a wasted person. And also! That is, you have participated in education without a way, did not educate Zisi well, and trained Zisi into a waste person, a waste person who needs others to support him! ”
"But?" Zeng Shen said: "If Zigong and they know that I have embezzled the money, don't accuse me? ”
"How will they know if you don't tell them?"
"This?"
"Don't you say: Is it wrong to do this? Is it dishonest and honest? Didn't keep your promises? ”
"This?"
"Promises are to be kept, but learn to be flexible! What is the purpose of them giving you the money for safekeeping? Not yet? Just believe in you! Let you raise and take care of Zisi? Isn't it? So! You can raise Zisi, educate him to grow up, and become a talent. ”
"This?"
"This money is used to raise and take care of Zisi, isn't it? As long as you raise Zisi well, take care of it, and educate it well, what can they do to you? Isn't it? ”
"This?"
"You raised, educated, and took care of Zisi, did you do it for nothing? Isn't it? Again! They give you so much money, don't they think about it: can you just raise Zisi and support Zisi for so much money? Isn't it? ”
"This?"
"So! The extra money, although they didn't say it explicitly, was actually for you! ”
"I can't ask for this money!" Zeng Shen said.
"That's not your problem, is it? You didn't ask for it? Isn't it? You want to publish a book? Isn't it? You? Alas! Why do I think your mindset is so single-minded and inflexible? So hard to talk to you? ”
"Uncle Le! I? Zeng Shen responded: "Zeng Shen is stupid! Don't be angry. ”
"I'm not angry! All in all! Bottom line: You can take out this money and borrow it and burn your Analects, the version you have participated in. Do you understand? This money is not Zisi's, nor is it Zigong's. Zigong and the others have donated the money, they will not ask for it back. Isn't it? They donated money to Zisi, in fact, to thank Mr. Confucius for his training. So! This money belongs to Confucius. Right now! You give Confucius a book, so! Not an exaggeration! ”
"Woooooo Zeng Shen understood the meaning of the song, but! It's just that I can't turn a corner for a while, and I always feel that something is wrong?
"Say no more! That's it! Go back! Hurry up and arrange the Zeng Shen version of the Analects, and then show me it. And then! Burn publishing. Zigong's side! You're going to stop him from burning. It's already burned, just let it go! One more version is not a bad thing, let history judge! What history preserves is what humanity needs. Or rather! It is what mankind needs temporarily, what mankind needs in a certain historical period! ”
"Hmmm! Thank you Uncle Le! Zeng Shen arched his hand towards Lege, but he didn't mean to leave.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Le Ge looked at Zeng Shen and asked puzzledly.
