The huge scene fell silent, and the crowd was stunned.
Many officials looked unhappy.
This was even scolded by them.
Zhao Changming was stunned. He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, "You...you are simply incoherent..."
He wanted to say something else, but at this moment, Master Zhu suddenly spoke, "This statement is not completely unreasonable. However, you also said that the huge amount of money in business can more easily arouse people's greed. So how can we restrain it?"
Lin Bai asked: "Why should we suppress it?"
this?
Old Master Zhu was stunned for a moment, and the crowd even looked at each other in shock.
Just listen to Lin Bai continue: "The reason why society develops and the reason why human beings are what they are today is because of all kinds of greed?"
"In ancient times, people were pursuing food and better living conditions. Nowadays, people are pursuing glory, wealth, success and fame. Isn't this all caused by greed?"
"Human desire is like a flood. It can be diverted but not blocked. As long as it is guided correctly, it can become a huge driving force for social progress. A greedy person or a person without desires and desires, who will make greater contributions to this society?"
At this moment, many people were lost in thought.
At first glance, this sounds like complete nonsense, but here are all scholars and they all have a certain amount of knowledge, so they naturally understand the difference.
Mrs. Zhu asked again: "As you said, if we pay attention to business and businessmen, the country may be prosperous and strong, but society will inevitably be filled with all kinds of people who are greedy for profit. What will happen then?"
Lin Bai glanced at the old master, finally there was someone with some knowledge.
Such problems will exist in later generations, but...
"Please forgive me for speaking frankly. This question is like a beggar thinking about how to prevent being remembered after he has a fortune. It is completely unfounded."
"You don't even have enough to eat. Are you still worried about this?"
"Moreover, this is not unsolvable. The key depends on how to guide it. Desire is like a flood, and morality is built up. Isn't this why saints educate all people? Before coming to Jinling, Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce had been established in Jiangzhou. They have their own values and morals. Look, I believe it won’t be long before you can see the changes in Jiangzhou businessmen.”
"And this is just a voluntary organization by businessmen. The court can also set up corresponding regulatory departments and establish various business bills..."
Lin Bai threw out a bunch of new terms, and Master Zhu even frowned.
The crowd was stunned.
Qin Kexin is no exception. His own man, even Master Zhu, is in a fight?
The key is that Old Master Zhu has not reacted yet, looking like he is deep in thought.
Lin Bai continued: "It is absolutely unfair that businessmen have been suppressed and suppressed for so many years."
“Merchants promote the circulation of goods, and their contribution to society is no smaller than that of anyone else, it will only be greater. If the country wants to be prosperous and strong, it must pay attention to business, create a better business environment, and give businessmen their due status. Only in this way can the country Really prosperous.”
"The four peoples should be equal, regardless of high or low..."
Lin Bai shouted loudly, and his sonorous voice echoed. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of Fan Zhongyan, a former boss, who wrote a poem about the four people who complained about the injustice to the businessmen. He immediately read:
"I have heard from merchants that I would like to transfer the goods to the people."
"The distance and nearness, the sun and the middle, are equal to each other."
"The top is to benefit my country, the bottom is to vassal me."
"Zhou officials have permanent residence, so why should they chase away the last people?"
"It doesn't matter what God wants. Wolves and tigers are born to be greedy for Qin."
"The world has changed into a deserted place, and I have experienced hardships and hardships."
"The four peoples have no permanent residence, and there is a vast confusion between falsehood and truth."
"Those who wander steal our profits, those who fall mess with our ethics."
"The pure source is shaken, and the waves are so degenerate that there is no trace of it."
"It is worthy of honor and wealth, and the extravagance is getting newer every day."
"Thousands of miles are devoted to Qiluo, and nine miles are filled with dust."
“Nothing is left behind in the mountains, and no treasures are left in the sea.”
"The ghosts and gods work hard for it, and the heaven and earth are poor for it."
"This evil has been going on for thousands of years, and it continues to be the same for thousands of years."
“If mulberry trees fail to form a forest, there will only be thorns.”
"What's wrong with me as a businessman? A gentleman is ashamed to be a neighbor."
"There are lords Yao and Shun above, and ministers called Zhou below."
"The harp and harp are willing to be more open, so that I can sing good times."
"Whenever you use these words, the emperor will be unkind."
…
"Husband, why are you so stupid? What should you do if you offend those officials?"
After returning home, Song Qianqian's face was full of worry.
The same goes for Qin Kexin. She criticized the deputy examiner in front of so many people. Crucially, she also ridiculed all the officials who looked down on businessmen. This was simply...
Her palms were sweating.
Lin Bai said nonchalantly, "They didn't say anything in the end."
Qin Kexin replied: "This is a common tactic used by officials. It won't do anything in front of so many people, but behind the scenes..."
Song Qianqian was worried: "What will happen? Will my husband's Jie Yuan be taken away?"
Qin Kexin shook his head. The list hasn't been released yet. It's too easy to do anything at this time. Not to mention Jieyuan, whether he can be on the list is just a matter of words.
Seeing the worried looks of the two women, Lin Bai couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't think so much, it's just fame. If it's gone, it's gone. Who cares?"
"Let's focus on business, and my husband will be a big landlord. How about letting you be the landlady?"
Lin Bai is really not surprised.
It's good to have it, but it's just like that if you don't have it. As long as you have money, you won't be happier than that kind of money.
But the two women obviously don't think so. In this era, studying to obtain fame can be said to be the most honorable thing to do. If you don't have the ability, forget it, but your husband has already obtained Jieyuan, and the result...
Especially Song Qianqian, because her husband is speaking for the businessman, and in her heart it is for her, so you can imagine.
The little goblin blamed himself very much.
However, she didn't know that her husband was thinking at this moment: Should he take advantage of this wave of excitement to do something to the little goblin? quack!
What a beast!
He actually wanted to take advantage of others' danger.
Just when the two women were extremely worried, everything about the situation outside the Gongyuan had already spread. Some people scolded Lin Bai for cheating, and some said he did not distinguish between right and wrong for the sake of his wife.
Of course, some people say that he is a good businessman.
And that poem by the Four Folks also spread, and countless businessmen felt the same way and regarded it as a classic.
In the Jiangnan Gongyuan, a fierce debate also took place at this time.
"This guy's remarks are extremely ridiculous. First he advocated equality between men and women, and now he talks about the equality of all four peoples. He is just a sensationalist."
"How can such a person be used by the imperial court?"
Zhao Changming reprimanded angrily.
Zhang Shangqing paused and said, "But one thing he said is true. More than half of Jiangnan's tax revenue comes from business. This time the military salary collection is entirely dependent on business."
"So Mr. Zhang supports this guy's remarks?"
"No! I don't support anyone. I'm not the examiner of the provincial examination, so I can't make a decision. I just want to say that Jiangnan has a heavy burden."
Zhang Shangqing continued: "One more thing, I have now found out the theft of the test paper in the first session."
As he said that, he took out a test paper, and the three characters Lin Qingfeng were written in the signature position. Zhao Changming's expression suddenly changed when he saw the test paper.
"Master Zhao, don't you explain?"
…
