Chapter 12 Controversy

Many students in the school agreed with Liu Junsheng's point of view, believing that only by repaying grievances with virtue can the demeanor of a gentleman be fully displayed, and only then can the virtue of a gentleman be reflected. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As a teacher, Kong Sheng smiled at this moment, glanced at it, and finally looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Li Xiuyuan, do you think so too?"

Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting in a precarious position and was calm and relaxed, slowly spoke at this moment: "The student thinks that this is a big mistake. ”

"Repaying grievances with virtue, why is it wrong? Even the princes of the court also nodded in agreement. Liu Junsheng smiled lightly: "Besides, the son of a merchant is only covered in copper, how can he know what virtue is and what is learning, and it is impossible to understand what is the virtue of a gentleman." ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Xiuyuan with some disdain, and seemed to look down on this lowly businessman's son.

"Others agree that it is someone else's business, but it is not my intention, although the son of Shang Jia is full of copper smell, but it is also hard-earned, not as good as some official eunuchs, the new official can't help but increase taxes when he takes office, and loot the people's fat and ointment. Li Xiuyuan saw that this person seemed to be deliberately targeting him, and immediately retorted.

Liu Junsheng said angrily: "You say my father is a corrupt official?"

Li Xiuyuan laughed: "If it weren't for the corrupt officials who used your father's money to pay a few dozen taels of silver a year, how could you let Liu Gongzi be clothed and fed? ”

He looked down on his son of a businessman, and how could he ever afford these corrupt officials who knocked on the bones and sucked the marrow.

Besides, the Li family's business is so big that it envelops the entire Guobei County, and I don't know how many people have been blessed, how many people have been given work, and hundreds of people have been indirectly fed.

"You ......" Liu Junsheng immediately stood up angrily.

"Do you dare to slander the innocence of my Liu family and damage the reputation of my Liu family? Do you know that I, Liu Junsheng, am a child, but a scholar with a meritorious reputation, and you have violated the laws of the imperial court by slandering scholars, how can a guilty person dare to speak up here?"

Li Xiuyuan laughed: "If I am guilty, you Liu Junsheng are also guilty of the same crime as me, you are a child, why am I not." ”

He's also a child?

Liu Junsheng's face immediately turned a little blushing, but he turned to say: "My dispute with you is just a dispute over knowledge, but you insult my father's innocence, what is the reason." ”

"It seems that you provoked this matter, you insulted me first, and I fought back. Li Xiuyuan said lightly: "We just exchange courtesies with each other." ”

"The gentleman lies in tolerance, why do you need to be so careful, the teacher just said that you repay grievances with virtue, it seems that you are suitable to travel outside, and you did not listen. Liu Junsheng said.

The students next to him nodded when they heard this: "Yes, yes, Brother Li, although Brother Liu's words are a little immoral, you shouldn't be careful, you should turn big things into small things." ”

"Yes, everyone is classmates, why did there be a dispute, it is better for Brother Li to apologize, and the matter will be stopped. ”

"Repaying grievances with virtue is not lost to the virtue of a gentleman, and Brother Li should learn the style of a saint. ”

When Li Xiuyuan heard the words of these students, he immediately smiled and said: "Is this trouble going to be mine at this point? Is it that I shouldn't argue with Liu Junsheng, but should I repay my grievances with virtue and apologize to Liu Junsheng? It seems that your classmates have read too much, and your brains are a little weak. ”

"Brother Li, this is a bit heavy. Immediately, a scholar was displeased.

Not only him, but some scholars who agreed with the previous views all looked at Li Xiuyuan with some annoyance, but they didn't expect that this Li Xiuyuan was brilliant on weekdays, but he was also a layman who opened his mouth to scold, it seems that the family of businessmen is the home of businessmen, and there is no slenderness.

"Don't be angry, let me ask you, since you agree to repay grievances with virtue, then I want to ask, repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue?" Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

Why bother to repay virtue?

Liu Junsheng smiled contemptuously: "Naturally, it is to repay virtue with virtue." ”

"Repay grievances with virtue, repay virtue with virtue, if this is the case, who is willing to give kindness to the widespread? If this is the case, and the world is not full of people who seek virtue with grievances, how can there be people who repay virtue with virtue?" Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "And if I don't look at the right talent, I refuted Liu Junsheng, Liu Junsheng was immediately annoyed and angry, and wanted to inflict the crime of slander on me? Is this repaying grievances with virtue?"

The scholars were speechless in their hearts.

Yes, Liu Junsheng, who said the words of repaying grievances with virtue, can't do it, how can he ask others to do it?

Thinking of the fact that Li Xiuyuan scolded himself and others for not having a bright head before, didn't he and others get angry and want to argue with them?

As soon as it was broken, these people's faces turned a little pale.

Wrong, all wrong.

Reading has gone astray.

Li Xiuyuan saw that everyone was silent, and said with a faint smile: "Repaying grievances with virtue is just a fool talking about dreams, and a saint will never say this." ”

"Then what is Brother Li's opinion?" said Zhang Wen, a scholar next to him.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at everyone, and then said calmly: "In the next opinion, it should be like this: why bother to repay grievances? ”

What everyone listened to was suddenly enlightened, like waking up from a dream.

"Ridiculous. However, at this moment, Liu Junsheng blushed and said, "Even if you speak reasonably, is it unreasonable for the princes above the imperial court?"

"Hehe, who are the princes of Gongon? People who live in temples naturally hope that the people below will repay their grievances with virtue, so that they can sit back and relax and the country will be stable forever. Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "This is the law of fooling the people, and it is a great evil in the world,"

"If the people are not wise, they are foolish and for the stability of the world, if the concept of direct revenge is spread, then there will be fights everywhere, which is a great evil. Liu Junsheng was also a little anxious, and immediately retorted.

Li Xiuyuan laughed again: "The people are not wise, how can they be foolish as officials? ”

"How to open?" At this time, Kong Sheng, who was a teacher, couldn't help but ask.

Li Xiuyuan pointed to his feet and said: "Set up a school and admit children from all over the world to enroll, and within twenty years, there will be people who study everywhere, and within fifty years, the wisdom of the people should be opened." ”

"Well, that's a good point. Kong Sheng was very excited when he heard this, and nodded again and again.

Teaching children to read is like nurturing young shoots, and they will always grow into towering trees one day, and the world will be full of pillars and knowledge, and the wisdom of the people will not be greatly opened?

"Although this is good, but it is just a castle in the air, you must know how many people in the world, to set up a school that can accommodate the world's young children, it is difficult to exhaust the taxes of the imperial court, if the imperial court really does this, I am afraid that it will exhaust countless money and food, and finally cause chaos in the world. Liu Junsheng said at this time.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Beilin College, established only ten years, but has educated more than 100 people, more than 100 people regardless of whether they are successful or not, but they are also literate, if these more than 100 people are teachers, teaching and educating people, what will happen after ten years?"

"At least 10,000 people are educated. Zhang Wen next to him muttered.

Li Xiuyuan smiled again, "What about ten thousand people as teachers for another ten years?"

"Hundreds, millions of readers. Zhang Wen shuddered.

"A school can produce millions of scholars in 20 years, and there are more than 1,000 schools and academies in the world.

When Liu Junsheng heard this, he was suddenly in a trance, speechless when he was refuted, and he couldn't think of any rebuttal even if he racked his brains.

"As you say, it stands to reason that the wisdom of the people has already been opened, why is it still like this for hundreds of years?" Zhang Wen asked again.

Li Xiuyuan said: "This side is back to what I said just now, the law of fooling the people, the princes of Gon are not unable to think of this, but they are unwilling to do it, they think that farmers have been farmers for generations, merchants have been businessmen for generations, craftsmen have been craftsmen for generations, and officials have ...... It has been an official for generations, so that the dignitaries and dignitaries above the court can be hereditary and rich forever. ”

When these words were spoken, all the scholars in the academy, including Kong Sheng, were stunned and silent for a long time.

These words were deafening and impacted their thoughts and insights all along.

It was as if a meteor had pierced the dead sky, allowing people to see the most real side of the world.
