Chapter 90: Abyss
Before the so-called success science training class started, Luo Yongsheng had carefully identified the enrollment list.
Successful science is different from any subject in daily life. If you want to achieve the best on-site teaching results, you must select students. There is no teaching without distinction, and you cannot teach according to your aptitude.
To be precise, success is based on teaching materials.
According to the number of admissions to 100 people in a training class, Luo Yongsheng arranged thirty "his own people".
He has built many new villages near Washizhuang outside the city this year, and the refugees who have fled from Sichuan were all refugees. Among these people, Luo Yongsheng selected thirty young men in his twenties to join this training class.
These thirty people are the core and the key.
Among the remaining seventy places, Luo Yongsheng also arranged quotas for Wei Bingkun and Chu Ji, two scholars who had been teaching in their mansion for more than a year, including Hou Bingzhong's son Hou Xi and his business partner Hou San. These are all part of the students. There is also a special student who is not on the list, but Hou Bingzhong disguised himself as a guard to listen!
The last sixty-six people were selected from the thousands of applicants in the city.
There were twenty rogues in Qingpi, twenty one ordinary person of ordinary family background, ten people from merchant families, and small officials and minor officials families, and the last fifteen people were all lonely and lonely since childhood, and they were old enough to work for the merchant market.
The backgrounds of each person are different, but they are all young people. Luo Yongsheng, the younger ones, and even the older ones.
It is said that young people are better to deceive, but Luo Yongsheng doesn’t have the time to cultivate it slowly. He is just about the same age as the twenties.
The opening location is in the city, not far from Sansheng Department Store. As early as the news that the opening of the work was released half a month ago, Luo Yongsheng bought the house and simply renovated it.
A classroom that is somewhat similar to later generations.
Except for the lack of blackboards and multimedia, the rest of the podiums and tables and chairs are generally the same.
By the time Luo Yongsheng arrived, the classroom was filled with 100 students who were selected this time. The whole room was very noisy, and some of them looked like they were thorny. They rode on the table and shouted, and their tone was very arrogant as they spoke.
These are all the rascals in Hongzhou City.
"Sir Luo is out."
With a shout, the classroom suddenly became quiet, but there were still sporadic noises, just these ruffians.
Most of the people who can be rascals these days are qualified to do it by taking advantage of their basic skills. Otherwise, the official laws will be like the furnace, and children from ordinary poor families will be assigned to the army by hair and joining the army if they do anything. How can they be qualified to stay in the local area and become a green gangster?
I have some strength at home and am used to being lazy on weekdays. It is a bit difficult to count on these green skins to convince Luo Yongsheng.
However, Luo Yongsheng has a lot of experience in dealing with this.
"If you don't want to listen, you can leave if you are not honest. From now on, wealth and honor have nothing to do with you."
"I don't listen, but I don't leave. What can you do to me?"
There are also such people who are not stingy and are obviously looking for trouble. There are only three or four people in the small number.
"hehe."
Luo Yongsheng waved his hand while smiling, and seven or eight servants rushed up and pushed the people to the ground.
"A man surnamed Luo, do you dare to use force?"
No one expected that Luo Yongsheng, as a "student", would use such a rough way to do it, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Have you ever told me before you came?"
Luo Yongsheng was a little surprised. Someone would even make a mess in this class today. Will he treat him as Luo Yongsheng as the one who just came to Hongzhou?
He is still holding the title of Hongzhou Dushui, the chief magistrate, and he is an official!
"Take it out, don't be upset here."
Luo Yongsheng is not a serious teacher. He also talks about compelling people with virtue and inspiring students. He says that he is teaching successful learning and his heart is completely dark.
If it weren't for the fear of scaring others, Luo Yongsheng would have to slap their mouths.
After driving away the troublemakers, the atmosphere in the classroom became clear. Although there were still many young men left behind, these were not sincerely just for trouble. The reason why they came here was to learn something from Luo Yongsheng.
Who doesn't want to succeed?
"There are only one purpose for everyone to come here today, that is, to learn how to make themselves successful." Luo Yongsheng walked onto the podium, attracted the attention of the remaining 96 people, and talked freely: "Some people may say that they want to be an official and learn Confucianism, and they want to be a general and learn military science. No matter how poor they are, they also have specialized business studies.
These theories can make people succeed, so what is this success theory?
It’s very simple. Success is a shortcut discipline that teaches everyone how to quickly achieve success. Once you understand Success, you can get twice the result with half the effort when you comprehend other disciplines.”
Among the 100 students who came to listen to the class, any one who was not eager to succeed could hear that Luo Yongsheng's words were simply farting, such as Hou Bingzhong standing on the edge.
After you have learned that you want to become an official, you have to study Confucianism and enter the imperial examination. Why bother to waste this skill and do nothing more than this?
It was precisely because it sounded funny that Hou Bingzhong became serious.
With such a nonsense theory, he really wanted to see how Luo Yongsheng tricked people into a lotus flower.
"Before the formal lecture, I will tell you a story, a story I have experienced personally."
Luo Yongsheng's tone was unhappy and his words were clear, ensuring that every student could hear clearly.
"Everyone knows that I am from Dingzhou, Hebei Province. I came to Hongzhou in the south. There are many stories along the way. There is one thing I still remember clearly. It was after passing Yangzhou that I went to a village.
When I brought my younger brother and a few servants in the family arrived, I was penniless and didn't want to beg for food, so I proposed to use help to exchange for food, and I got the permission of the village elder.
The land I farmed, Qizhu called Dashan. He was a very honest man and talkative man, but his life was not very good. He was in his thirties and had no money to marry a wife.
After every year, he would lose food and drink and pay tuition, and basically nothing left in the money. His parents died when he was only teenagers because he had no money to see a doctor. His life has been very difficult for the past ten years.
At the beginning of the chat, he was always painful and uncomfortable because of recalling this past, but when a pregnant widow entered the field, he became happy instead."
The classroom was very quiet, without a trace of noise, only Luo Yongsheng's unhurried tone continued to ring.
"This widow married into their village. Not long after she got married, her husband took the imperial labor service to work. Unfortunately, she died in a foreign land. Not long after the news of her husband's death, the widow became pregnant. The rumors in the village, maybe whose child belonged to them were maliciously speculating behind her, and joked about this widow in the foreign land being dissolute.
Dashan, a simple and thirty-year-old bachelor, mocked the widow, but showed a covetous look. At that time, I could see that he really hoped that this widow could be a slut like the rumors in their village, so that he might have a chance to kiss her."
Speaking of this, Luo Yongsheng's tone began to gradually speed up and his voice gradually increased.
"There is no doubt that Dashan is an unfortunate person. Because of poverty, he lost his parents, and because of poverty, he was still a bachelor until he was in his thirties.
But there is a question, I want everyone to think about what made such an unfortunate man suddenly feel better.”
The classroom discipline in these days is obviously much better than in later generations. None of the students chattered after Luo Yongsheng was silent. Luo Yongsheng glanced at Wei Bingkun, who was enlightened and spoke.
"It was the even more unfortunate widow."
Luo Yongsheng nodded with satisfaction and gave Wei Bingkun a look of approval.
"Yes, it was the widow who was far more unfortunate than the mountain. It was because of the appearance of this widow that Dashan, who was originally suffering in his memory, had a better mood.
This is worth our deep consideration.
Why do Dashan feel happy when he sees someone who is unfortunate than himself?
Before we think about this issue, I will tell you what I was doing at that time. I was farming, loosening the soil and digging the ground, and beside the mountains where I kept laughing at the widow.
If I don't work, I won't have enough food that day, and laughing at and watching other people's misfortunes will not replace food to fill my stomach.
But in the mountains, he is more keen to spend his time watching other people's misfortunes.
Then there is an answer.
Because Dashan, a man, his life is full of suffering, he needs spiritual comfort, and this meaningless comfort comes from those who suffer more than him.
Only when he sees these people who are more miserable than him will he get a pleasure, a pleasure that numbs himself and allows him to temporarily escape from reality and hide in hallucination or self-comfort.
Dashan never wondered why he had been a bachelor and could not marry a wife, nor did he think about why his life was as hard as ever. Whenever he was in pain, he had become accustomed to finding people who were more painful than him, and then stood on a high place and laughed happily!”
When he said this, Luo Yongsheng's tone had become louder, and every word was full of rebuke.
"I then scolded Dashan, but he told me that the world is too difficult. It's not that he doesn't want to cheer up, but that his hard survival has exhausted him.
Then I want to ask you how difficult it is to survive, which has led us to seek to numb ourselves in such a meaningless and even despicable way!
We are taking ourselves into the abyss, and are gradually sliding into more miserable despair, but we have not seen it, because there will always be people who are more miserable than us, waiting for us to laugh at you!
Whenever we see these more suffering people, we cannot see the abyss, and we cannot see what kind of terrible despair we are falling into step by step.
This is why I organized this success school. It is not that I have the ability to help you succeed, but that I want you to gradually see the abyss.
It’s not just for you to see clearly, but I hope you will cross the abyss and conquer the abyss!”
At the end, Luo Yongsheng had already clenched his fists and raised his generous and powerful words.
"Each of you can be me, and should never be a mountain."
There was a sudden burst of applause in the classroom.
Although the way of applauding expresses mood has been around for thousands of years, the main reason why it is popular in Hongzhou is that Luo Yongsheng started to listen to Lao Sun's storytelling several times, so that when his words fell, the whole class of students was like this.
Luo Yongsheng looked at him wrongly and saw Hou Bingzhong who was also applauding.
The eyes of the two met at this moment.
The latter's expression was very serious and his face was full of deep thoughts.
It may not have been Luo Yongsheng's speech that touched him, but it may also be that this veteran who has been obsessed with the career of the government for many years, the current general has heard more hidden meanings.
Hou Bingzhong no longer listened to the following lessons and left halfway.
He felt it needed to find some time.
