After hearing this, Shen Liangfu didn't know that his teacher was angry.
At this time, the book said that you must not disobey the teacher, so he stood up obediently.
"My teacher, let me tell you that these words in the book were all written by humans."
"Since it was written by a human being, it naturally has a purpose and a background."
"You study, but you can't stop studying."
“We should understand the environment and background of the dynasty in which the person who wrote the book lived, and combine it with his own experience, so as to eliminate the bad and retain the good.”
"Absorb and learn the parts that you think are right, and discard the parts that are wrong."
"Instead of memorizing it all and studying hard all day long, in the end, you don't even know who said it or what it means."
"Is this called reading? This is called endorsement."
"My teacher, let me tell you something. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."
"What you see on paper is ultimately shallow, but you know you have to do it in detail."
"What is written in the book is only the knowledge in the author's mind, not yours."
"When you can abandon books and tell the same truth as the author, then you have truly understood the book."
"Books are just references, but not the truth."
"It is better to believe in no books than to have no books at all, do you understand?"
"Disciple... I am stupid and need time to understand." Shen Liang was sweating like rain, his heart was beating like a drum, and his body was shaking like chaff.
He was not afraid of Gu Beichuan, but he was afraid of himself!
I am afraid that I have read the wrong book after studying hard for more than ten years!
…
Shen Gui has been very troubled in the past few days.
He felt that since his son went to Gu Beichuan, he seemed to be a different person when he came back.
I didn't eat or sleep. I sat at home all day, mumbling something like "It's better to have no books than to believe in books."
The belly that was originally big and round suddenly lost weight due to hunger.
This...could it be that I was confused by reading?
How about asking a doctor to take a look?
"Son, tell me honestly, is this Gu Beichuan incompetent?"
"Why did you look like this after you went there?"
But who would have expected that after hearing this, Shen Liangfu stood up with a shudder and said angrily: "Father, don't do this. It is said in the book that as a disciple, it is extremely disrespectful to secretly slander your teacher."
Hearing this, Shen Gui scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Yes, yes, my father doesn't understand things about you scholars."
When Shen Liangfu saw this scene, he thought he had convinced his father by relying on the principles in the book, and he was a little happy.
But then I thought about it, was it the books that convinced my father, or me?
Suddenly he fell into tangle again.
In the midst of the tangle, I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw a piece of silk satin with exquisite patterns.
This silk satin looks extremely smooth, like running water. I have never seen it before.
So he asked: "Father, what is this silk?"
"This? This is a rare item. It's the water-like satin that your father and I spent a lot of money to get."
"Shui Satin? Is it possible to sell it for a lot of money?"
"Of course, this is the cloth at the bottom of our Shenji Cloth Store. Can it be cheaper?"
"How many pieces of cloth can my father sell in a month?"
"About thirty or fifty horses."
"Is the output so low?"
"Hey, the difference between these words is that the output of water satin is still acceptable. It can produce hundreds of horses in a month."
Shen Liangfu was stunned when he heard this and said, "Then why not sell them all?"
"Silly boy, do you know what it means to be rare and valuable? Just like Feihong's four kinds of wine, aren't they so precious just because they are small in quantity?"
"But...but there is something in the book that happiness alone is not as good as happiness among everyone. If you have good things, you should share them with everyone."
"Oh, you silly boy, maybe you got dizzy while studying."
"How can you give this fine silk and satin away for free?"
"If it really goes as you said, we might have to close down our business at Shen Ji Bu Xing."
What?
Shen Gui's words were like thunder that struck into Shen Liangfu's mind.
As if he was enlightened, he suddenly woke up, stood up, and shouted like a maniac: "It is better to study hard than to have no books at all!"
"What you see on paper is ultimately shallow, but you know you have to do it in detail."
“It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books!”
"That's it, that's it!"
If these great principles were told to him all at once, he would never be able to understand them.
But what his father just said was undoubtedly giving him an example in the textile industry he was most familiar with.
On the contrary, it made him understand a little bit.
Shen Liangfu was happy, but in Shen Gui's eyes, this scene was a bit scary.
Why did my son, who was fine just now, suddenly become crazy?
Their Shen family has been passed down from three generations alone, but it’s just such a single seedling!
"Son! Tell me honestly, have you damaged your brain by studying?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Dad will ask a doctor for you right now."
As Shen Gui spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Oh, Dad, what are you talking about?"
"I didn't lose my mind by reading. I finally got the idea and read the right book!"
"In the past, I only knew how to read blindly and recite randomly. Little did I know who the person who wrote the book was or what the purpose was."
"Now that I'm enlightened, I should know how to read."
When Shen Gui heard this, he took a deep breath and sighed: "You scared dad to death."
Suddenly he was a little surprised and asked: "Why did my son suddenly become enlightened?"
"Could it be that Gu Shijun teaches well?"
When Shen Liangfu heard this, admiration instantly appeared on his face, and he said sincerely: "My mentor is a great talent in this world!"
“Not only is he talented, but he is also good at teaching and educating people.”
"After listening to one of his words, I was enlightened and enlightened, as if I had divine help."
"It is a great blessing for me, Shen Liangfu, to meet my mentor!"
Shen Gui was also startled when he heard his son say this.
He still had some grudges because Gu Beichuan's asking price was too high.
I thought that this person was probably just a false name, but now it seems that he is really talented.
The asking price is high, mostly because it is worth the price.
If Fu'er can really be among the top three on the gold list, what if I give him all of my wealth?
"Gu Shijun is the Wenqu star that even Mr. Qin has longed for. Don't slack off and learn from him."
"Father, don't worry, your child will definitely study hard."
"This time, I will be named on the gold list, and I vow not to disappoint my father!"
Hearing this, Shen Gui nodded with a smile.
This matter in his mind was settled.
But there was one more thing that kept him awake at night.
Seeing his father's appearance, Shen Liangfu also asked: "Why is my father frowning, but what else is worrying me? The child is willing to relieve his father's worries."
"It's not a big deal. I just got news from my father that the imperial court is going to send people to the Jianghuai area to select royal merchants. The first one to be selected is us cloth merchants."
"Isn't this... a good thing?" Shen Liangfu was puzzled.
"It's a good thing to be able to choose Huangshang, but the problem is that we probably won't be able to choose him."
"Is there anyone else in the Jianghuai area who can be our opponent, Shen Jibuxing?" Shen Liangfu became even more confused.
As long as he can remember, his family's cloth business has grown bigger and bigger, and today, he is already the leading cloth merchant in Huainan.
Logically speaking, there should be very few people in the Jianghuai area who can rival their Shen family.
Why is my father so worried?
"Fu'er, do you remember Qian's cloth business?" Seeing his son's doubts, Shen Gui took the initiative to explain.
