Xiao Sabi didn't think so, he was already confident in his heart that his statement had prevailed in the hearts of all the contestants and was supported by most people, so he confidently walked up to Yang Huairen, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, pretending to be an elder, "Young man, don't be strong anymore."

So many people present, their hearts should be like a mirror, this king believes that the vast majority of them are on the side of this king, everyone knows that the third competition is a test of our wisdom, you prefer to use a rude way to stomp on the machine box, and insist that this is the smart way to do it, why do you say this? ”

Yang Huairen shrugged his shoulders and avoided his hand, and asked with a smile, "King Xiao, don't make a judgment like this first!" Dare to ask what wisdom is in your heart? What kind of people are smart? ”

Xiao Sabi is one of those Khitan people who don't like to read, and he is also a person with little culture, so he naturally doesn't know how to explain what wisdom is.

But being asked such a question by Yang Huairen in front of so many people, for the sake of face, he had to pretend to be calm and forcefully support, "Wisdom...... Clever...... Well, I won't say much about this, everyone should know it in their hearts, and it's not easy to say it clearly, but whether a person is wise or not, whether he is smart or not, this king still knows how to look at it. ”

Yang Huairen shook his head, "Since King Xiao refuses to say it, then the envoy will talk about it for you, if you think what the envoy said is right, please nod."

Wisdom is actually a very general concept, to put it simply, it is to be able to see the essence of things when looking at things, just like human beings look at all things in the world and can see their true side, which I believe everyone has experienced. ”

Everyone really hadn't thought about how wisdom should be explained and expressed before, but when they heard Yang Huairen say this, they suddenly had a sense of sudden enlightenment, and felt that it was really like this, so they nodded and expressed their approval of this sentence.

Yang Huairen was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and then said, "The so-called wisdom is a manifestation of wisdom, and in layman's terms, it is to use the simplest, most labor-saving, and least resources to achieve a goal when doing things."

For example, a long time ago, wisdom taught us humans to hunt for food before we could multiply and expand our populations.

At the beginning of hunting, the means and tools were very rudimentary, but later the wise people began to learn to make long and straight branches into spears, sharpen stones and tie them to wooden sticks to make axes, so that they had the tools to hunt.

Later, humans became more and more intelligent, and learned to make bows and arrows, which can be used to kill prey from a distance, making hunting easier and safer.

In other words, those who know how to make spears and bows and arrows are wise people, and they know how to obtain food in the simplest way. ”

What Yang Huairen said was easy to understand, and it also said the real life form of the initial civilization period of mankind, and various tribes, including the Khitans, had similar petroglyphs to prove what Yang Huairen said, so they nodded unconsciously.

Yang Huairen was not in a hurry, but proved it to everyone step by step, and then said, "Speaking of returning to our current life, it is like a person going from Dading Mansion to Xijin Mansion to do business."

He can go on foot, on horseback, or in a car, but he knows that the person who walks must be unintelligent, because it is very laborious and time-consuming, and he who knows how to ride a horse or a car is a smart person, and they know how to achieve their goals in a more labor-saving, faster and more convenient way.

For example, when I make a dish, the purpose is to make the original ingredients into a delicious dish that everyone boasts of, there is one step that requires a lot of time and labor, while the other step is relatively simple, saving time and effort.

Then I would like to ask everyone, step by step according to the first step to make the delicious, and the second method to save time and effort to make the delicious, which method do you think is smarter? Which method will you choose? ”

A Khitan official smiled, "Naturally, the second method is chosen, if it is made with the same deliciousness, since there is a more time-saving and labor-saving method, why bother to use the first method?" ”

Yang Huairen pointed at him and praised, "Look, this adult is a smart person who knows how to use simple methods to get delicious food, that is to say, he knows how to use methods to save time and effort, save costs and effort, and is the method of smart people."

There are many, many examples of this in our lives, such as why we use a rake to plough the ground instead of using a hoe to turn it over laboriously, why we make the wheels round instead of square, why we use slings to transport things to high places instead of relying on human power to resist them.

And so on and so forth, there are too many examples to prove that when the first smart person does a good job in a smart way, we learn from the smart way of this smart person and then apply it to our lives.

It is precisely in this way that our life is becoming more and more convenient and better, and human civilization will continue to progress.

To sum up, it is to use the most convenient way to achieve the goal, which is a smart approach, which means that the person is more wise.

Speaking of which, I would like to ask you to recall what the purpose of the third competition was and what the rules announced by His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince before the start began. ”

Yang Huairen paused deliberately, giving everyone a time to recall and think, and then said slowly, "The purpose of the third competition is to test the wisdom of all the contestants and select the smartest person.

In the rules read out by His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, it is true that it is only said that if you open the box first, take out the piece of paper that has been placed in the box in advance, and then say the animal drawn on the piece of paper, it will be considered a winner.

So now let's think about it, in terms of the content of the competition, the purpose is to open the mechanism box and take out the paper in the box, so in terms of the process, you can not only use the normal step-by-step design of the mechanism box, step by step to untie all the mechanisms and open the mechanism box, or you can use my method to open the mechanism box.

Although the way I stomped the trap box directly seemed a bit rough, this method was indeed the fastest, the most time-saving and labor-saving, and the most convenient.

Since both methods can achieve the same goal, why don't I choose the most convenient way to save time and effort, and choose the stupid method that follows the step-by-step method?

To sum up, let's judge carefully, which of the two methods can really show that a person is smart? ”
