Chapter 120 The Usefulness of Reading
"Sorry Confucianism?" Li Bai sneered.
How many successful people in ancient times were not scholars?
How many marshals who commanded the three armies and held the military power in the world were not scholars?
How many civil and military officials are not all scholars?
How many kings, princes, generals and ministers are not all scholars?
How many people are not the Duke and the Marquis, aren’t they all scholars?
Sour Confucianism?
These two words are just to describe those Confucian scholars who have failed in their studies and can only complain.
Aren’t people who truly succeed and achieve success all those who study hard and govern the country and maintain peace?
The patrolman said, "Yes! Are all scholars sour scholars? What kind of future can this have? I don't think any books have a golden house."
Li Bai shook his head when he heard this.
Li Bai asked: "Can you write your own name?"
"Yes! What's this?"
"Then will you write your parents' names?"
"No! But I know what they are called."
"If you serve in the court, the queen will be rewarded and let your family have an old man's son in your family, you can write the names of the old man's children to get a family guarantee."
"But you won't write their names, so what if?"
"This... can be asked for someone to do it!"
"What if I can't do it for myself? I can only write it myself?"
"This can't..."
"I mean if..."
"That's the big deal!" The patrolman shook his head helplessly when he was asked by Li Bai.
Li Bai smiled and said, "This is just an example."
"Don't worry, I'll give you another example. Are you tired now?"
"tired."
The patrol nodded directly. If you often have to run around, how can you not be tired?
Li Bai smiled and said, "Do you know why the governor can be so relaxed, but you are so tired?"
"This...how can this be compared?" the patrolman shook his head and said.
Cheng Yaoguang, who was walking in front, wanted to interrupt Li Bai, but wanted to know why.
"Why can't you compare?" Li Bai asked.
"The Governor is a high-ranking official! He must be idle!"
Li Bai heard this and sneered: "Dongtu Da 6, only one in ten million people were born with a golden key in his mouth."
"Is the governor born with a golden key in his mouth?" Li Bai asked.
"No, right? It seems that adults were also poor families before..."
Li Bai smiled and said, "Yes, poor kids, why can he live more comfortably than you..."
"this……"
"You want to say that he is an adult, you are a subordinate?" Li Bai asked with a smile.
"That's right."
"Then why is he an adult?"
"He has a background and a backstage!"
"That's it?" Li Bai asked.
"What about that?"
"No, no, no, it's like, you have a backstage and you are the governor. Can you do what the governor does now?"
Upon hearing this, the patrol began to ponder, and the documents that the governor needed to handle every day were now flashed through his mind. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "It can't be done."
“Why can’t it be done?”
"Because I don't know the words, I don't know how to judge some cases..."
"The topic has been revolved around again, and it is this word that makes you unable to stand. If you are the governor of you, will you be too bad?"
Li Bai smiled and said, "You are not good enough, do you still expect to be as relaxed as the governor?"
After Li Bai's words, some smart people listened to it, but the unwise people were still thinking, does this have a lot to do?
Li Bai smiled and said, "In fact, scholars read traditional virtues left by ancient sages, learn from ancient wisdom, and increase their own knowledge and experience."
"There is a saying that reading books is like a god."
"The Governor may be from a poor family, but he studied hard, went through exams, and finally stood out from the crowd of millions."
"Become a ninth-rank sesame official, and then climb through your own step by step, and finally climb to the current fifth-rank governor."
"If he is like you, with only brute force, he can stand out from the imperial examination crowd, he can become an official to make a case, he can make a decision, convict with one sentence, and be well-managed, and then be promoted step by step?"
"Obviously not."
"So before becoming an official, all he needs is the imperial examination."
"Isn't the imperial examination a scholar?"
"Isn't the imperial examination the first step that all civil servants need to go through?"
"Becoming an official also requires us to understand the intrigues in the officialdom. In an environment like the court with many factions, it is impossible to keep it alone."
"It is not enough to understand the intrigues in the officialdom, and you still need to understand the emperor's ideas."
"If you understand the emperor's ideas, you have to do what the emperor likes to be promoted step by step."
"These things are inseparable from the knowledge in the book."
"If you don't study and don't know how to speak, do you think you can get better step by step?"
"Obviously, I believe that no one in the court, with many factions, will accept a person who is not good at speaking."
"So, most of the people who have left their names throughout the ages are scholars. Do you understand why this is?"
"Because you read the inheritance of ancient sages, and what you leave behind will be what your descendants will read in the future. This is called cultural inheritance."
"There are eternal inheritance, but culture lasts forever, just because there are scholars in the world."
"Now I give you a sentence: Reading changes destiny, and learning makes the future."
"If you want to change your destiny, you should read more books and enrich yourself. Only in this way can you change your destiny."
Li Bai's words made the patrol guards applaud.
These words really touched their hearts!
In the past, they often thought that scholars were just sour scholars and never cared about some scholars.
Little do we know that...scholars are everywhere, they are their leaders and also from scholars.
While they said that scholars were sour scholars, they had indeed mentioned their governor.
Following the patrol beside Li Bai, he applauded repeatedly, looked at Li Bai with a look of admiration, and said, "You are so awesome!"
Li Bai shook his head and said, "It's not that I am awesome. This is a normal academic exchange for scholars. More communication can make you better understand what the other party needs than silent efforts."
"Tell you a story, it's about communication."
Everyone looked at Li Bai with curious expressions, not knowing what Li Bai was going to say about communication.
Li Bai smiled and said, "A long time ago, there was a pair of masters and apprentices."
"Master Tang Seng is a hardworking and thrifty person."
"Admission Sun Wukong is a naughty monkey."
"One day, Master Tang Seng saw a hole in Sun Wukong's pants and sewed it silently for him."
"The next day, Tang Seng saw another hole and silently sewed it for him again."
"On the third day, it's still like this, for three consecutive days..."
"On the fourth day, Monkey Sun Wu found the master in the air atmosphere. Do you know what the monkey said?"
