Chapter 26 Pros and Cons of the Analects

Daiyu said: "A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit." Then she turned around.

Qingwen didn't know what to do, and told Daiyu many perfect business plans. Who knew that Daiyu simply broke free from her siege, and asked Xueyan to fetch some water to wash her ears.

It was Mr. Bai who came to the rescue: "Young lady has the heart to be Xu You, but it's a pity that Qingwen is a Zigong."

This time I am talking about Duanmuci, the famous Zigong among the 72 apprentices of Confucius, who started his business and is not ashamed of it.

She was tactful in persuasion, and Daiyu also called Xueyan to stop, with a smile in her eyes: "I can't hide it from you sir, students don't like these economic things."

Nowadays, no, the Confucians of the past dynasties don’t like businessmen, Daiyu has received a complete Confucian education, and naturally she has been influenced by it, so Mr. Bai doesn’t think it’s wrong, she just tells Daiyu more about the outside world, so that Daiyu will not be too sour. That's all: "Guan Zhong didn't like merchants since the reform. The former Qin Wangmeng also issued an order: gold and silver brocade, commercial and soap slave women are not allowed to obey it, and offenders abandon the market. Even in this dynasty, merchants' homes are also expressly prohibited from using some utensils. There is nothing wrong with you thinking about these clothes."

Daiyu's face paled slightly, she thought that her husband would admonish herself without asking indiscriminately, and then recalled that what she just did just now was indeed a bit willful, so she listened with admiration.

"In the past, Tai Shigong recorded in "Historical Records: Huozhi Biography": Yuan Xian never tires of dross, and hides in the poor alley. Zigong rides together, and bundles silk coins to hire and enjoy the princes. Wherever he goes, the monarchs will fight against him in court. Ceremony. The husband who made Confucius famous in the world, Zigong came one after another. Is this the so-called gaining power and benefiting? If Zigong hadn’t made Confucius famous, why would Confucianism have the situation of today’s raging fire? The Kong family at the foot of Mount Tai is respected by all dynasties safely. Who remembers the Duanmu family?"

What she said was reasonable, and Daiyu couldn't help defending herself: "If you have food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, you will have a good fortune in the farm. If you buy and sell, you will always be suspected of bullying the poor, and you will lose your gentlemanly demeanor."

Their conversation just now was so profound that Qingwen, a modern person, couldn't understand it, but she understood this sentence. She hurriedly defended herself, and she also defended business: "Miss, what you said is wrong. The so-called business comes from Since the Shang Dynasty, the seventh monarch of the Shang Kingdom, Wang Hai, was named after this. The people of the Shang Dynasty were shrewd and capable, sold local products from all over the world, and established a prosperous and powerful Shang capital. The sage Confucius himself highly respected the etiquette of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. If you read Confucian books , of course you have to listen to the words of the sage.”

"Furthermore, commercial circulation is not about bullying the poor at all. Girl, let me tell the difference: the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are rich in ducks, and the land in Mobei is rich in sheep. If the merchants are banned, people in the south of the Yangtze River must put sheep in the fields if they want to eat sheep. Shepherds, don’t they gnaw the rice seedlings alive? The water town is exquisite, where can I find that open space to drive the sheep? And the people in Mobei want to eat flower ducks, but now they have to dig ponds in the desert and work hard to divert water, and some ducks It’s also hot, so it’s possible that the people in Mobei want to build a fire house just for ducks, so how high will the ducks and sheep be sold?”

This metaphor is superficial, and the two nuns in the room, Xue and Zijuan all understood it, and they felt that what Qingwen said made sense.Carelessly, he simply nodded.

Qingwen continued: "Moreover, manpower is also costly. Originally, people from Jiangnan could guard a group of ducks by one person, but if they were sent to unskilled people from Mobei, I'm afraid they would not be able to look after them personally. There are specialties from all over the place. , people from all over the world have been engaged in this industry for generations, and many of them have been proficient since they were young. If they left their hometown to make silk, it would take several generations for Mobei people to figure out the way? This is a great waste of manpower. And the original merchant Although the sale is self-profit, it also stabilizes the price, otherwise the ducks raised in the firehouse will not be seen by the poor in Mobei."

"In this way, does the girl still think businessmen are hateful?" Qingwen finished it in one breath, applauding herself secretly, and she still remembered the first lesson of Western economics that she learned in economics school 30 years ago.At the beginning, I didn't skip class, but it was only because that class was closed with another class, and there was a school girl with long eyelashes in the next class.In the economics class on Wednesday, a class of girls got up early in the morning, and the sleepy girls in the public bathroom on the shared floor washed and put on their makeup, and glanced at each other's clothes.

Unexpectedly, the class that he didn't drop in order to meet the school grass turned out to be the first debate in ancient times when he embarked on a brilliant life.

It can be seen that when God closes a door that allows you to fly and sleep with the school grass, it will open a window for you to arm yourself with knowledge.God is really fair.

Regardless of the ups and downs in Qingwen's heart, Daiyu is a girl who admits her mistakes. She is not at all unhappy at being corrected by Qingwen, who has a lower status than herself. It turned out to be what I thought in the past.”

Mr. Bai also praised Qingwen quite a bit, she thought to herself, although this maid doesn't read much, she always has some great wisdom.There is a trace of enlightenment in his actions and ideas, so he is very appreciative: "Even Confucius called Zigong the weapon of Hulian, and he valued himself as a disciple very much. Maybe Qingwen is also the weapon of Hulian."

Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled, pointing to Qingwen's nose, she was very narrow-minded: "I will make you rich, and I will be your master."

After all, I couldn't help laughing, Qingwen looked blank, this is her knowledge blind spot, Xueyuan followed Daiyu to study in Jia Yucun for a while, so she understands better, she saw Qingwen Confused, he smiled and pointed the way: "Sage Confucius said this to his favorite student Yan Hui. The main idea is that God will make you rich quickly. I am willing to be your housekeeper."

It was only then that Qingwen suddenly realized: "Isn't this the meaning of being rich and noble?"

The four Xue Le fell down, Xueyuan patted her thigh and laughed: "Say she doesn't understand, but she can even quote scriptures."

Daiyu and Mr. Bai also followed suit, and Qingwen felt a little ashamed. This was not because of her true level, but because that sentence was so famous in modern times that even her nephew's classmate record was written all over it.

Everywhere embodies the ardent wishes of primary school students to their classmates, and don't forget to make yourself a leg pendant after they become prosperous one day.

It is the little sisters who play well, and they always tell the sisters: "After marrying into a wealthy family, remember to appoint me as the CEO of your husband's family business."

This matter was settled just like that, but Daiyu said that all the profits would be donated to the charity hall to help those orphans and beggars.

She strongly supports Qingwen. Anyway, she was not an enjoyment personality the day before yesterday. She just loved work and found a sense of fulfillment and fulfillment in life.

Her friends love her dearly, and always let her eat and dress well to enjoy life, and kindly laugh at her for "working like an old cow, but she doesn't like to eat or wear, be careful not to bring her nakedness with her life or death."

I didn't expect that a word would become a prophecy, and I would come and go naked without any worries.

Lin Ruhai also supported Daiyu's actions: "The customs in the north and the south are different. It is said that traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books is like the heart of the people. You have seen so many things, you can always open up your mind, and make something that is not limited to the boudoir. text in."

Qingwen felt ashamed when she heard that, this scholarly family is really amazing.Master Lin's concept of parenting is really advanced, he didn't feel that Daiyu should be like a woman at all, instead he never restrained Daiyu in the same way that people restrain their daughters nowadays, and encouraged her to cherish everything in her heart, and invited her to teach her when she was studying (although Jia Yucun's character is a bit scum), and she never had the narrow concept of "what do girls study for" like Jia's mother.

The longer she gets along with this family, the more Qingwen likes the Lin family, whether it's the upright and even pedantic lovely Master Lin, or Daiyu, whose little daughter is self-willed and arrogant but easy to correct when she realizes her mistakes. Do a good job in this cloth village business.

First, I searched for some skilled embroiderers in the Lin family's property. I didn't dare to look outside, not because I was afraid of other things, but because I was afraid that as soon as the Lin family released the news, many people would immediately send skilled embroiderers. The impression of "competing with the people for profit", I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to impeach Mr. Lin again.

Fortunately, the Lin family's ancestral home is in Suzhou, and there are always many industries in the south of the Yangtze River. Qingwen is very satisfied after finding 20 skilled embroiderers.

The search for a venue was done by Lin Ruhai. There is a grandwife in the Lin family who owns a dowry shop in the capital. The shop is now used as an oil mill. The tenant has withdrawn the lease half a year ago. The Lin family has been waiting for several months, but they can't find it. A suitable shop came to rent, and it happened to be free at this time, so I kept it for my own use. Qingwen heard people say that the shop is under the Gaoliang Bridge on Xizhimen Inner Street, and mule carts and cargo ships can pass by from south to north. It is very popular. Not far away is the Gaoliang River, which is convenient for transporting goods.

The blueprint of the house was sent to the inner courtyard, and the maids and mothers in the room were all curious and gathered around to see what happened.

Daiyu also stopped them. Although there were many shops in the family, they were all taken over from the ancestors, and they were all built by themselves bit by bit like now.

The two nuns have some pension assets, and the big girls also have their own savings. They only have a vague idea of ​​their future life as a maid. Thinking about it in the future, I can't help but pay more attention to this matter.

Qingwen also lived up to her trust. She unreservedly told some business tips to her companions in the yard. As winter came, the wind in Yangzhou also became colder. Jiangnan, how cold is there? If the Mingde Courtyard where Daiyu lived was also a bit dilapidated in previous years, Daiyu would always cry for Meihua and miss her mother, but this year Mingde Courtyard is extraordinarily lively, with several maids chattering, From time to time, it was announced that the stewards from outside had come in. Although it was almost winter in the small courtyard, it was bustling and lively without any sign of withering.

The author has something to say: I made salted Duxian today, it was so delicious that I cried!

Sure enough, the raw materials are very important. The spring bamboo shoots + dried venetian knots + ordinary ham that I bought in the local vegetable market in the past, the pickled Duxian has no such taste.

This time I bought Lei Sun online specially, and the delivery place was Lin'an. I felt a little unbelievable, but after checking, there was still a place named Lin'an.

I also bought the freshly made venetian knot in Yangzhou, which was delicious. Soy product lovers praised it, and I will never eat the venetian knot again.

The ham is also well received, and it will be very fresh when cut a few times.

The stomach is full from drinking soup.

In the evening, I made black-bone chicken soup in a casserole. Chop the black-bone chicken and blanch it, add red dates, goji berries, a slice of ginger, and cut a few shreds of coriander before cooking.

I don't eat carbs so I won't get fat (chanting)
