"Actually, the students are not jealous of the preferential treatment and attention Zhao Shancai has received over the years... In other words, although the students are jealous over the years, they are just jealous that Zhao Shancai is naturally smarter than the students, even with the same efforts, But the students' results are not as good as his, so how can this be convincing?
But no matter how unconvinced you are, there is nothing you can do... In your lifetime, only your background and talent cannot be determined by yourself, but these two factors are the most important... This is also the point where students must be convinced, but are the most unconvinced. !
However, in fact, what Mr. Fu just said is very reasonable. In terms of family background and talent, students have already taken advantage of most people in the world. Therefore, the resentment in the students' hearts over the years is just due to their insufficiency and greed. That’s all. "
Having said this, Lu De laughed at himself.
But this time, unlike the previous situations, Zhu Hejian found that Lu De's emotions were all sincere.
After a pause, Lu De continued: "As for what the Seventh Prince said, even if different people do the same thing, they often receive completely different evaluations, and students take it for granted!
After all, even if the same thing is done by different people, it will have different effects. Even if it has the same effect, the strong can often copy it successfully, but the weak may not!
Take doing things without permission as an example. Strong people who do things without authorization often win praise from the world. The fundamental reason is that a truly strong person can often accomplish many things alone without relying on the support of the collective public. They are the ones who gain, so the strong ones naturally have the qualifications to act without authorization, and will also win praise for doing things without authorization...
On the contrary, the vast majority of people in this world often rely on the collective to succeed. Collective rules are also the foundation of their lives. Therefore, if they act without permission, they violate the collective rules, which is equivalent to harming the majority of people. The foundation of one's life is naturally subject to criticism.
In this world, the strong are always respected. Is it not because the two words "strong and weak" are relatively clear and fair? "
At this point, Lu De seemed to feel that his rebuttal was too direct, and added: "Of course, these ideas are just the opinions of the students. They are somewhat different from the views of His Highness the Seventh Prince, and they may not be correct."
After hearing this, Zhu Hejian was not only not angry, but also looked at Lu De with admiration.
Obviously, Lu De has not become resentful because of Zhao Shancai's long-term suppression. He can not only see his true heart clearly, but also have insight into the world. This is also a very rare talent and wisdom.
In fact, Zhu Hejian certainly understands what Lu De said, because Zhu Hejian himself is also a firm supporter of the concept of "the strong is respected".
After all, Zhu Hejian himself is now a strong man, enjoying various preferential treatment and can easily decide the fate of most people in this world.
In other words, when Zhu Hejian was still weak, he also longed for fair treatment and often secretly complained about the unfairness of the world. But as Zhu Hejian gradually became stronger, he naturally began to believe in "the strong are respected". The concept of "the weak eats the strong".
In later generations, many people claimed to be "social Darwinists", and this was actually the case.
The reason why Zhu Hejian just complained and criticized the difference in treatment between the strong and the weak was, first, to get closer to Lu De and to express his understanding of Lu De; second, he suddenly recalled that he had not been treated well by I couldn't help but express my feelings about the experience I had. The third reason was to take the opportunity to establish an image of being compassionate and fair to others in order to win the favor of Lu and Fu. I didn't really want to do anything for the many people in this world. What the weak do.
Therefore, after hearing Lu De's rebuttal, Zhu Hejian not only did not feel unhappy, but smiled and nodded in praise: "Mr. Lu's wisdom and self-improvement are really admirable!"

The chat between Zhu Hejian, Lu De and Fu Pingsheng was just a short break from their busy schedule.
Therefore, the conversation did not last long, and the three people soon immersed themselves in various materials again, sorting out the complex relationships among all walks of life in Nanjing and deducing the future situation of Nanjing's officialdom.
The problems Zhou Shangjing prepared for Zhu Hejian were extremely difficult, and they had to find a proper solution as soon as possible.
Between concentrating on thinking and discussing, time always flies by.
When Zhu Hejian's discussion with Lu De and Fu Pingsheng came to an end again, he found that it was already evening.
Zhu Hejian's body has not yet fully recovered, and he is naturally very tired under such circumstances. However, in order to further win over Lu and Fu, he still managed to maintain his energy and have dinner with Lu and Fu. Seize every opportunity to get closer to Lu and Fu.
Zhu Hejian has always been good at disguising. With his deliberate catering and active friendship, the results were naturally very significant. Lu and Fu both had better and better impressions of Zhu Hejian, and soon they regarded Zhu Hejian as a real person. I understand.
After the dinner was over, Zhu Hejian personally sent Lu De and Fu Pingsheng to the gate of Zhanyuan. It could be said that the four words "courteous and virtuous corporal" were brought to the extreme, so Lu and Fu said goodbye to Zhu Hejian. On this occasion, everyone was deeply moved.
When Zhu Hejian said goodbye to Lu and Fu and returned to his room, he found that his eunuch Jia Lun had been waiting there for him for a long time.
Moreover, while Jia Lun was waiting for Zhu Hejian, he still held a thick stack of information in his hand. Jia Lun used various secret channels - such as Xi Cheng, the eunuch guarding Nanjing, and the Jin Yiwei who had been lurking in Nanjing in advance - All kinds of important information collected.
After seeing the pile of information in Jia Lun's hand, Zhu Hejian knew that he still couldn't rest and must seize the time to get more information.
However, Zhu Hejian did not complain about anything, but felt more and more that he had to find a few smart and loyal staff to assist him as soon as possible.
Otherwise, as Jia Lun has repeatedly warned, Zhu Hejian will die of exhaustion sooner or later.
After having such thoughts in his mind, Zhu Hejian first listened to Jia Lun's report, then carefully read through the various intelligence brought by Jia Lun, and finally told Jia Lun: "Tonight, you still don't have to be idle. , you must find out for me the background of Lu De and Fu Pingsheng as soon as possible...
Wang Baoren introduced them to me this time, obviously because he wanted to keep these two people by my side to assist me and take the opportunity to close the relationship between the two parties. I do value the abilities of these two people and want to use them for my own purposes, but the prerequisite These two people must be loyal and reliable!
Especially Lu De. He and Zhao Shancai were fellow townsmen and classmates. Although Lu De claimed to be estranged from Zhao Shancai, and even felt lucky for Zhao Shancai's early death, I didn't see any flaws, but just in case. In case, you must inquire about this matter in detail! "
Seeing that Zhu Hejian finally planned to recruit some staff to assist him, Jia Lun also felt relieved. After nodding in agreement, he quickly left to do things.
In fact, just as Zhu Hejian expected, Zhao Shancai and Lu De are both famous talents in Jiangnan. Whether their relationship is close or distant, good or bad has never been a secret. It can be said that You will know it as soon as you find out. On the contrary, Fu Pingsheng just came to Nanjing not long ago and has been working in Shaanxi and Gansu for a long time. It is difficult to find out too much information in a short time.
Therefore, when Zhu Hejian got up and freshened up the next day, Jia Lun had already made a detailed report to Zhu Hejian in order to find out a lot of information about Lu De.
After listening to Jia Lun's report, Zhu Hejian quickly nodded with satisfaction, because Lu De did not lie, and various channels could prove that he and Zhao Shancai had almost no friendship.
Moreover, when Lu De told Zhu Hejian about what happened between him and Zhao Shancai, there was still one key piece of information that he did not mention, that is, his great uncle Lu Sirui, a great scholar from Jiangnan, and Zhao Shancai's mentor He Mingnai had a hostile relationship, so the two men were not in public or public relations. It is impossible to have too much contact in private.
"In this case, I can safely take Lu De for my own use!"
And just as Zhu Hejian was thinking about it secretly, he quickly received a report that the prince and grand master Wang Baoren was visiting again!
The last meeting between Zhu Hejian and Wang Baoren was just to get acquainted with each other and explore the details. However, this time they met, they would undoubtedly start discussing some specific matters, so Zhu Hejian did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went out to greet them in person.
…
I have been very busy these days and always split one chapter into two chapters, so the number of words in each chapter is relatively small, and the plot progress is not satisfactory. I am very sorry.
However, in this book, as long as the characters are described in more than a thousand words, they will occupy a more important position in the subsequent plot. Therefore, these two chapters focus on Lu De, not for the sake of word count. Many contents seem to be It’s useless, it’s actually all foreshadowing.
Finally, I hope that this latest wave of epidemic will end as soon as possible, and bless the motherland!
