But Man Bao asked: "This is the first question, what is the second question?"
Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang looked at each other and shook their heads together.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao took a look at the sun outside, and saw that the sun was still so bright, but they didn't feel the sun, so they knew that it was almost evening, and maybe the sun would go down soon.
So Bai Shanbao said: "Let's go ask the teacher for advice."
Bai Erlang was not happy, "Come on, isn't there class tomorrow?"
But Man Bao said: "Let's go and ask, we will come back later to settle the accounts and share the money."
Two against one, Bai Erlang had to submit.
Mr. Zhuang is at the Bai family next door. He is drinking tea with Master Bai and preparing to have dinner together.
Seeing the three children coming over with the account books in their hands, Mr. Zhuang and Master Bai looked at each other and smiled slightly.
When the three of them saw the smiles on their faces, they couldn't help pouting, and Bai Erlang couldn't help complaining, "Father, how can you be so dishonest?"
But Master Bai laughed and said, "This is called business talk. You dragged me to buy out the wheat seeds in the village first. Is this moral?"
Bai Erlang choked, turned his head to look at his two friends, saw that they were silent, so he also closed his mouth tightly and did not speak.
Master Bai then taught the three children: "Businessmen are after profits. If you want not to suffer losses in the future, you have to work hard on the documents so that there is no room for people to take advantage of them. Today I will make an exception and just fight against the odds." Half, otherwise you will not only waste so much money."
Mr. Zhuang put down his teacup and said with a smile, "You have already answered the first question given to you, the second question is to change the document, the third question..."
After thinking for a while, Mr. Zhuang looked at Master Bai, and said with a smile, "Master Bai, can you give me a lesson for the three children?"
Master Bai was about to get up and leave, when he thought of something, he sat down again, and said with a smile: "Sir, just pretend I'm not there, and just discipline them."
He also wanted to see how Mr. Zhuang taught his three children.
Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, and asked the three children to find a place to sit down.
Bai Shanbao and the others disliked having to look for stools and chairs, so they simply found a piece of grass under the tree and sat down.
Seeing the three children sitting down next to his flowers and plants, Master Bai's heart trembled.
"Things like documents can't be written seamlessly in a short while. You can save this homework and do it slowly," Mr. Zhuang said: "When you grow up, you can understand more principles. Learn the laws of this dynasty, and if the documents you write are useful, they must comply with the laws.”
The three children expressed their understanding.
Mr. Zhuang got up, with one hand behind his back, walked in front of the three children and thought for a while, then said: "Master Caibai said that businessmen are after profit, this is true, but he didn't say it all. In this world, not only businessmen are after profit, Scholars, peasants, workers, even slaves at the bottom, and the royal family at the top all seek profit, so it is not shameful to pursue profit."
The three children listened seriously, Bai Shanbao and Man Bao nodded after thinking about it, but Master Bai sitting at the stone table was stunned and almost threw the teacup in his hand.
This, this statement...
"However, no matter how much you pursue profit, as a human being, you should do something and not do something," Mr. Zhuang changed the subject: "As a teacher, I don't know what you will make a living in the future, or you just become a businessman. The third question I give you is that you have to do homework for a longer time, much longer than the second question, maybe you have to do this question for a lifetime."
Man Bao was a little apprehensive, "Sir, did we do something wrong?"
Mr. Zhuang was silent for a while before shaking his head, and said: "You did nothing wrong, but you can't say that you did it right. The things in this world are not decided by the teacher alone. You are all very smart, especially in this day. In this matter, it is much smarter than I thought."
Mr. Zhuang glanced at Bai Erlang and said, "Even Bai Cheng, this time is beyond my expectations."
Bai Erlang was not happy, he looked around and felt a little uneasy, because the atmosphere was really weird at this time.
Mr. Zhuang looked down at the three disciples and said, "So you should study hard, read more, and think more. Maybe in the future, you will be able to answer questions that even Mr. Zhuang couldn't answer today."
"We study not only to learn the skills of the sages, but also to learn the conduct of the sages. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith are just the principles of Confucianism. After Confucianism, there are Taoism, Legalism, Military School, and Mohism... "
Bai Shanbao asked, "Which one do you prefer to be a man?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said: "Among the classics of several schools, I have read the most Confucianism and understand it deeply. However, I love Taoism more in dealing with things, and I rely more on Legalism when I get along with people. Since I went to the countryside to teach, I have But I also like to study Mohism, tell me, which one do I like more?"
Bai Shanbao thought, how does he know, he is not a roundworm in Mr.'s stomach.
Seeing his expression, Mr. Zhuang understood, and he laughed loudly and said, "Even the roundworms in Mr.'s stomach don't know, because even I don't know, but why do I have to know?"
"Yeah, why do you have to know?" Man Bao also asked back, the books in the encyclopedia are never divided into which ones, the books in it include Luo Yongzhen, everything is there, and Keke never said, you After reading the theory of this school, she can't read that school again. As long as she can afford the points, she can read it as she pleases.
At the same time, Dr. D and others who associate with her never ask, which one do you prefer as a human being
How can this be determined
Man Bao raised his brows and asked, "Isn't being a human being the person you want to be? Why bother with the school's theory? Confucianism advocates filial piety. Can't Taoists be filial to their parents? I don't like Confucianism, and I don't like it. Can people who don't like Taoism be filial to their parents?"
Man Bao is still young, she doesn't know how to express her thoughts better, so she can only use the simplest language to say: "I think these things exist in the world, the so-called theory of being a man is nothing more than the wisdom of the sages. It’s just summed up, before Confucius said benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, wouldn’t people in the world be benevolent, unrighteous, polite, wise, and trustworthy?”
When Mr. Zhuang was questioned, he was in a daze for a moment, staggered twice and almost fell to the ground.
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao Bai Erlang were so frightened that they quickly got up from the ground to support him. Mr. Zhuang grabbed Man Bao's hand, his eyes sparkling, and he murmured, "Yeah, yeah, why am I so confused, no , No, the vast majority of people in this world are confused... Hahahaha, why are we arguing about Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, so we are all confused... "
Man Bao looked at Bai Shanbao in bewilderment.
Bai Shanbao vaguely understood, but not very well.
He understood what Man Bao said, and he also understood what the husband said before, but he didn't understand what the husband said now.
Master Bai didn't understand either, but it didn't prevent him from helping the three children to support Mr. Zhuang.
