"What's your name?" The Confucian scholar who refuted Lu Chen was directly suppressed by Lu Chen's momentum and became a little weak.
"What you say sounds good, you are so ambitious!" Lu Chen still looked at him with cold eyes, "What doesn't sound good is that you are self-righteous and have high ambitions and low hands!" Lu Chen's words can be said to be merciless, which is equivalent to stripping naked in public. Their clothes are average.
"I'm not just talking about him, but all of you here!" Lu Chen added directly before the man could speak.
"Brother Lu, you even scolded me!" Li Daozong quit after hearing Lu Chen's words, and directly said something to Lu Chen with some grievances. The meaning was obvious. If you scold them, they will scold you. Why are you scolding me? I'm with you!
"I didn't tell you! Why are you taking the right position!" Seeing Li Daozong's resentful eyes and slightly aggrieved expression, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile and looked at Li Daozhong and said.
"Oh! I'm not included! Then I'm relieved! You continue!" When Li Daozong heard that Lu Chen said that he was not included here, he immediately became happy again and continued to pour and drink by himself, as if he was waiting. Looks like a good show.
Qian Junnan looked at Lu Chen with bright eyes. If it weren't for the wrong situation, Qian Junnan would have jumped directly at Lu Chen's feet and hugged Lu Chen's thigh. Lu Chen was with these Confucian scholars and scholars. Go ahead and clear your name as a businessman!
"According to what this brother means, does it mean that these merchants should have the same status as scholars like us?" At this time, someone retorted to Lu Chen and asked, "If you don't do business without treachery, you are also talking about these merchants!" This person even reminded Lu Chen.
"Hmph! You are also a model of studying hard without asking for a deeper understanding!" Lu Chen looked at this man and snorted coldly, "'There is no business without treachery.' Do you think this sentence means that businessmen are treacherous?" Lu Chen sneered. With this person.
"What do you think, brother?" This person obviously has a better ability to withstand pressure than the person in front of him, and he asked Lu Chen with a stern gaze.
"That's why I say you're just a student!" Lu Chen sneered again unceremoniously, "I'm afraid you don't even know the origin of the principle of no treacherous businessman, right?" Lu Chen looked at this person and continued to ask.
"This..." Hearing that Lu Chen had a reason for saying "no business without treachery", the man couldn't help but was stunned. He thought about it for a moment, but he really didn't think of it. His expression suddenly became slightly embarrassed. Obviously, Lu Chen The question touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.
"Mr. Gentleman, could there be some reason for the saying 'no business without treachery'?" Lu Deming also thought about it after hearing Lu Chen's question, but he really didn't think of which book contained this Regarding this record, I asked directly.
When Lu Chen saw Lu Deming, he stopped talking. No matter what Lu Chen said about these people just now, Lu Deming sat there and listened. But when he suddenly asked Lu Chen, Lu Chen understood that what he just said "is true" "All of you here" probably made Lu Deming feel unhappy, so he finally spoke.
"Mr. Lu, this sentence does have its origin, and the original sentence of this sentence should be 'No point, no business'. This point is not treacherous!" Lu Chen looked at Lu Deming and said, and followed Lu Chen He explained why "no business without cutting edge" turned into "no business without evil".
In the final analysis, the term "no business without crooks" is not a derogatory term in itself. The whole sentence is "no business without crooks, no craftsmanship". The meaning is very obvious. Doing business requires a flexible mind. This mentality Flexibility does not mean cheating or shoddy, but skill means that if you want to learn a skill well, you have to work hard to figure it out. This is also true for reading. You have to be willing to work hard for any skill. In terms of skills, you have to work hard to understand the inner secrets.
Of course, the phrase "no business without treachery" comes from the change of "no business without sharpness". The origin of "no business without sharpness" comes from the old days when people bought rice and used it as a measuring instrument. said.
At that time, when measuring rice, sellers would use a mahogany ruler or the like to flatten the bulging rice in the bucket to ensure that the weight was accurate. After the money and goods are settled, the merchant will add some rice into the rice basket and add it to the rice bucket. If the surface of the rice has been smoothed, it will bulge into a bunch of "points" to maximize profits. It has become a custom to measure the rice and add some extra toppings. That is, when doing business, always give guests a little extra toppings. This is a business gimmick for old-school businessmen. This small group of "additional tips" is very useful to customers, so there is a saying that "no business is not sharp".
Lu Chen briefly talked about "no business without excellence" and "no business without evil", and then looked at Qian Junnan, "Shopkeeper Qian, I wonder if what I said is true?" Lu Chen naturally asked about things about rice merchants. .
"What you said is true. This is the rule of business since ancient times. What we pay attention to in business is to be honest and honest!" Qian Junnan saw that Lu Chen spoke up for him, so when he spoke, he felt confident It’s also a lot more than enough.
"What a person who is based on honesty and integrity!" Who knows, just when Qian Junnan finished speaking, someone else directly refuted Qian Junnan with disdain, "Is it possible that there are no businessmen who pass off inferior goods as good ones?" , Have you deceived good people?"
"Yes!" Before Qian Junnan could speak, Lu Chen directly responded to this person, "Otherwise, how could the term 'no business without treachery' appear? It is because of the existence of such businessmen that a 'no businessman without evil' would appear. The connotation of "treacherous but not businessman" has become a derogatory term. But, having said that, are all these scholars good people?" Lu Chen refuted the other party unceremoniously.
"Youdao means that there are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, and all kinds of rice can support hundreds of people. There will be scum in any industry. Which one of Qingfu, Zhao Gao, Liang Ji, and Dong Zhuo is not a scholar, and which one is not a treacherous person who commits the most evil crimes? Disciple, do you dare to say that they are not scholars?!" Lu Chen stared at this person coldly and asked.
Lu Chen said that among these four people, none of them were good, and none of them were traitorous ministers who brought disaster to the country and the people. Lu Chen's deafening question made all the Confucian scholars and scribes sitting in the hall speechless. , because Lu Chen’s words really made it impossible for them to refute them. Could it be that these four people all had their own reasons? Don't be ridiculous, if you really dare to say that, it is no different from seeking death.
"So, this is the only place where people can be divided into three, six, and nine grades!" Lu Chen pointed directly at his head and said, "If your heart is dirty, then you will think that others are as dirty as you. But if your heart is kind, then you will be gentle to this world!" Lu Chen glanced at everyone, "The fact that you are able to sit here drinking, reciting poems, and laughing about romance is not because of you, but because of yourself. Because of your family background, if you were to be in the same position as him, you might not be able to afford to be the shopkeeper!" Lu Chen said disdainfully.
"Mr. Lu, I wonder if there is anything wrong with what I said?" After Lu Chen finished speaking, he directly rushed to Lu Deming and asked with a cupped hand.
"This...this..." Lu Deming could only smile awkwardly while stroking his beard when he saw Lu Chen. It was impossible to say that he completely agreed with what Lu Chen said, but if he wanted to refute Lu Chen's words, he could do it for a moment. Lu Deming, who is known as a great Confucian, didn't have anything good to say. "Lang Jun's words are quite reasonable, quite reasonable!" Lu Deming could only say something hesitant and perfunctory.
"This place is not suitable for us. Mr. Lu, Luo Dou knows, I have to say goodbye to someone!" When Lu Chen saw Lu Deming's embarrassed look, he knew that these people would not be touched or changed by his words. As for Lu Deming didn't say anything else. The bigger reason was that he and Li Daozong were suppressed by their identities. Therefore, Lu Chen rushed directly to Lu Deming and Luo Life and offered his hands, and went to help Li Daozong.
At this time, Li Daozong had gone from being slightly tipsy to drunkenly. This guy drank "here" and "here" one sip at a time, and drank all the erguotou of Lu Chen's wine pot. He was obviously already drunk at this time. He was in a drunken state. There was nearly a pound of Erguotou in Lu Chen's wine bottle. This guy drank so much for the first time. Who else would be drunk if he wasn't drunk?
"My lord, let's go!" Looking at the drunken Li Daozong, Lu Chen shook his head helplessly, whispered something in Li Daozong's ear, then stretched out his hand to lift Li Daozong up, "Why don't you come over and help? "Lu Chen glared at Qian Junnan directly.
"Oh!" Qian Junnan quickly wiped his hands on himself, and then came over to hold Li Daozong's other arm. The two of them directly held Li Daozhong and walked out the door.
"Good wine! Good wine!" Li Daozong muttered as he was led out of the front hall by Lu Chen and Qian Junnan. As for the others, no one dared to stop Lu Chen and the others, and these Everyone also hoped that Lu Chen would leave as soon as possible and be well. In fact, what Lu Chen said just now made them feel very uncomfortable. If Lu Chen sat here and refused to leave, it is estimated that their "literary banquet" would be in a yellow shop.
It's just that these Confucian scholars think so, but Luo Lifu doesn't think so. After all, Luo Lifu doesn't have any "everyone knows" status, but in the end, who doesn't know her status? To be honest, her status is not as good as Qian Junnan!
What Lu Chen said just now went directly to Luo Lifu's heart. Seeing Lu Chen and the others walking out of the house, Luo Lifu followed them directly.
"Since the gentlemen have to leave for something, I know what I have done, so naturally I have to send you off!" As she walked, Luo Lifu found an excuse that no one could refute, and followed Lu Chen out directly. to the front hall.
"Everyone who has Luo Luo will see you off!" When he came to the door of the house, Lu Chen directly handed over his hands to thank Luo Life, while Li Daozong was supported by the two guards. Li Daozong hung his head and was still mumbling "good wine" !
