Chapter 173 Tour of Mount Tai [In the Middle]

"Why should we regard money as dirt? Is money bad?" Zhao Qian said disapprovingly.

Zhang Dong said naturally: "Although money is good, it attracts people's desires, making the hearts of the world not the same as before! Thinking of Yao, Shun and Yu, everyone in ancient times, everyone is friendly and the king has integrity and integrity. The wealth is owned by the public, and there is no dispute, and the good fields are cultivated together, and the world is peaceful!"

Zhao Qian shook his head and said, "You just see the bad side, but you don't see the good side! Just ask you one thing, what is the original intention of money?"

"Money is the load of goods!" Zhang Dong said proudly.

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "That's right! So money comes for example. If I don't have money, I have a basket of eggs but want a piece of cloth. What should I do? Looking for those who buy cloth, he doesn't want eggs, but wants three pounds of mutton. Looking for those who have lamb, but those who have lamb are unwilling to change because he wants ten pounds of vegetables. He wants eggs only if he finds those who have green vegetables! No one even wants eggs! Will people complain if they can't get what they want?"

Zhang Dong shook his head and said, "That's not great harmony!"

(Datong, similar to communism, means that everything belongs to everyone)

Zhao Qian mocked: "Have you seen a wooden barrel?"

Zhang Dong was not willing to be outdone and also mocked: "Why didn't the young master eat meat minced?"

Hu Yanzhuo had read some books and knew that the words "Why not eat meat minced meat" came from "Book of Jin: Emperor Hui". At that time, Emperor Hui of Jin was in power, and there was a famine in a place. The ministers naturally reported that the people in this place were so hard that they could not even eat porridge and water!

Emperor Hui of Jin asked a classic saying, "Why not eat meat minced?", which means, since there is no porridge, why not eat meat?

Zhao Qian waved his hand at Hu Yanzhuo, who was already angry, and then said, "Since Zhongtong understands it, that's fine! The wooden barrel is made of more than a dozen wooden boards, but how much water can be filled with the barrel is not determined by the longest wooden board, but the shortest wooden board! The same is true for Datong you are talking about. If you can get your own without doing anything, who will work hard? Will other people work hard when they see others like this? These people who don't work hard become the shortest wooden board! How about Datong in the world?"

Zhang Dong said dissatisfiedly: "Skewer! Everyone will work hard! Fang Nai Datong!"

Zhao Qian smiled and continued, "Okay! That's what you say, but you are also a human being, not a wood of the same length. If you can cultivate ten acres of land, others can only cultivate eight acres. It's not that others don't work hard, but his ability is only to this extent! Then, there may be nothing to share your food to him at the beginning, but over time, will there be any complaints?"

Zhang Dong raised his chest and said, "How could it be? Everyone is selfless, and the world is unyielding and can be harmonious!"

Zhao Qian shrugged and said, "Okay, as you said, everyone is selfless and you can get whatever you want. What is the meaning of that person living in this world?"

Before Zhang Dong could speak, Zhao Jin continued: "It is precisely because of the ** that people can move forward. In order to get more money, people will start wars. In ancient times, stones were used as weapons, and for victory, so there were bronze, iron, and the current steel. If there were no such things, we would still use wood and stone to cultivate now! Money is not dirt, but money is the existence of people moving forward!"

Zhang Dong blushed and said, "This is a wrong argument for merchants! If you follow it, you should be extremely powerful and powerful. The country will not be in power, and the people will be selfish, and China will perish!"

Zhao Qian shook his head and said, "Steel can create a powerful weapon for killing people, or a farm tool for farming fertile fields! Just like the Datong you just mentioned, although it is impossible for it to exist, its beauty can attract people to work hard to farm and work hard to reach that level."

Zhang Dong had a dark face and didn't say anything. He found that if he was talking about eloquence, he was no match for the young master opposite him. In fact, what Zhang Dong didn't want to admit was that he was somewhat convinced by Zhao Jin. However, more than 20 years of Confucian education has been deeply rooted, so Zhang Dong could not accept the sudden change.

The atmosphere became a little dull, but fortunately, the rest of the journey was not far away.

Going along the mountain road, you can see a small peach forest. The peach trees have no tender green leaves, the pink and attractive peach blossoms, and the bare branches make people feel uncomfortable. But you can imagine how beautiful this place will be by April and May. It is estimated that Sun Fu will have 300 scholars listening to his professor, thanks to the attraction of this peach forest.

In the middle of the peach forest is a horse path paved with bluestone. After walking about a hundred steps, a small but exquisite northern villa shone into the eyes of Zhao Jin and his group.

The blue courtyard walls form a strong contrast with the white snow, and red glazed tiles are stacked layer by layer. A two-story building is not tall, but full of magnificent momentum.

Perhaps when I heard the sound of a horse neighing, the small door of the yard opened. An eleven or twelve-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth walked out in a small blue Taoist suit. Although he was small, he looked like an adult in court.

"So it's Mr. Zhongtong! I just don't know what these people are?" The little Taoist boy bowed seriously and said.

Zhang Dong looked at Zhao Jin with a smile, looked disapproving, paused, and said, "This is a big family member of Mr. Xun's knowledge, let's go in together!"
