Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Li Xin smiled and shook his head, chasing away useless thoughts, and said to Han Donghua, "I won’t refute the fact that merchants value profit for the time being. I will talk about it later. I want to ask Master Han first, where are you from the businessman’s treachery? Sounds like, can you give me an example?"

Han Donghua was stunned. He just said casually, it is impossible to fabricate an example right now, right?

Zheng Bowen replied: "Businessmen value profits and put their interests first in everything. Naturally, it is easy to abandon the covenant. As long as there are enough benefits, they can even treason at the expense of the country. As everyone knows, where is there any need for examples?"

"That's not it?" Li Xin sneered. "Both adults agree that businessmen are more prone to treachery than ordinary people, but they can't even tell a specific example. This is a suspicion of slander and slander. On the contrary, it is a kid. Here, there is an example of a businessman who sacrificed his ego and saved the country. Would you like to hear it?"

Zheng Bowen didn't believe it, and smiled: "It's not a story made up by the king of Chu, right?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "Of course not. This is written in the history books."

Is there such a story in history books?

There was a whisper in the queue of the officials. Most people don't know what Li Xin is trying to say. Only a few people who are quick-thinking have their eyes lit up, obviously thinking of what Li Xin is referring to.

Unfortunately, Zheng Bowen and Han Donghua are not among the ranks of creative and agile people.

Li Xin saw them looking dumbfounded, so he smiled and started talking.

This little story that is easily overlooked is very simple. It comes from "Chun Qiu Zuo Shi Chuan", which is commonly referred to as "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu", a Confucian classic with eight classics. If it weren't for later generations to read this short essay when doing ancient essay reading questions, and if I was a little impressed, Li Xin really couldn't tell the story at the moment.

According to legend, the Qin State sent troops to attack Zheng State, and while passing through Hua State, he happened to run into a businessman from Zheng State who went to other countries to do business. Xian Gao immediately sent people to give Qin Jun four cooked cowhides as gifts, and then killed twelve cows to reward Qin's army. All in all, it is to serve Qin's army comfortably. As a result, the people of Qin were stupid-I came here to attack you, how could it be as if you were here waiting to entertain me? You Zheng Guo wouldn't want to defraud me, right?

Xian Gao entertained the soldiers of the State of Qin and paralyzed them, while sending people back to the State of Zheng urgently to inform Zheng Mugong, who was the monarch of Zheng State at that time. Zheng Mugong immediately sent someone to check the envoys of the Qin State, and found that they were really planning to escape overnight, so he gave them a stabbing warning. Seeing this scene, the people of Qin State knew that Zheng Guo had been prepared and that it would not be possible to continue the sneak attack, so they left in despair. Of course, it is inevitable to vent your anger when you leave Huaguo easily.

Don't ask why, asking is itchy hands. A weak country is so lacking in dignity, and every Chinese person should understand this.

After the story was finished, Li Xin smiled and looked at Zheng Bowen and Han Donghua: "Where does this story come from? The two adults shouldn't be ignorant? Did the kid make a mistake?"

Damn, "The Spring and Autumn of the Zuo Family" has been moved out. As a Confucian family, who hasn't read this book? Who is there to refute?

Both Zheng Bowen and Han Donghua were silent.

Upon seeing this, Li Xin continued: "I can't agree with the adults saying that businessmen are profit-seeking and easy to betray their faith. Zhuangzi once said that there is also a way to steal. For those who are thief, they still speak faith, don't those who are businessmen don’t need it. May I ask, will you adults cooperate with a person who has no credit? Can a person who has no credit really become a businessman who makes money?"

These few questions are not loud, but they clearly give people a sense of deafening and embarrassment.

Although the people present were all disciples of Confucius, Li Xin used Zhuangzi's remarks to defend himself and no one raised objections. After all, Li Shimin, who is now sitting on the throne, has already regarded Li Erzhui, the true monarch of Taoism, as an ancestor. As Zhuangzi, who is almost named after Laozi, his remarks are also quite significant here. No matter how Confucianism is the only person, he dare not say that Zhuangzi is talking nonsense in front of Li Shimin, otherwise he would be suspected of insulting the royal family, and he would probably end up not much better.

Li Xin stopped for a long time. After confirming that no one dared to refute his words, he smiled and continued: "Now it is time to talk about the businessmen's high profits."

Zheng Bowen and Han Donghua felt a headache when they heard this. They regretted that they underestimated Li Xin, thinking that by snatching a few crimes at random, they would be able to use the opportunity of offending so many people to bring him down. Unexpectedly, not only does he look like he will not be defeated, but he is also a little bit more brave. The two of them couldn't resist Li Xin's suit after suit.

But Li Xin didn't care if these two goods could stand up to his heavy blows. He is going to vomit today!

"I want to ask the adults present, do businessmen's heavy profits really harm the interests of the people?" Li Xin asked.
