Chapter 866

"Young master, if you refuse the Ziqian family so much..."

After seeing Wu Yuanqing off, Fubo returned to the house and saw Merton in the living room meditating. He couldn't help worrying. Ziqian family is one of the oldest hundred, and its power is deep-rooted. I'm afraid the opposition between Mohism and it will not benefit much.

"It doesn't hurt!" Merton shook his head. "The reason why I directly rejected the Ziqian family is that the Ziqian family are mercenaries and are not credible. It's normal to go back on their own for the sake of interests in the future.

Second, the Mohists and Ziqian's family have different ways. Ziqian's family releases printed money to suck blood from the people all over the world and make money by any means. The bank loan of Mojia village is to let merchants and workshops tide over difficulties and benefit the people, merchants, the imperial court and Mohists. Sometimes they don't even care about money and income. If they cooperate with Ziqian's family, they will one day Make trouble. "

Fauberraux nodded thoughtfully.

"Of course, there's another reason, that's Mei Niang!" Merton said with a trace of firmness in his eyes. Meiniang lives in a family without family affection and is persecuted by the Wu family. If he cooperates with Wu Yuanqing, where will he buy her?

"Mei Niang! I heard from other Mohist children that Mei Niang has been unhappy since she came back from outside the city." Fubo frowned. Naturally, he also knew about the Wu family. Mei Niang thought it was after her father died, but she didn't expect that even the father she had always admired was a fickle man, which made her collapse.

"Well, I'll enlighten him myself another day," Merton said indifferently. Although Wu Meiniang is young, she is a famous empress in later generations. He doesn't think this problem can knock her down.

However, what he didn't expect was that he hadn't gone to find Wu Meiniang, but Wu Meiniang found it herself.

"Apprentice, see you master!" Wu Meiniang's tight little face solemnly saluted in the study.

"It's Mei Niang. What's the matter with finding a teacher?" Merton said with a smile. He knew that Wu Mei Niang was in a bad mood these days and didn't leave any schoolwork.

Wu Meiniang was about to stop talking, and finally clenched her teeth and said, "I came here today to say goodbye to the master."

"Why?" Murton exclaimed. He never thought that he should say such words from Wu Meiniang's mouth.

Wu Meiniang said painfully, "my disciple was born in the Ziqian family. My father and brothers are all from the Ziqian family. The Ziqian family is notorious, while the Mohist family has a clear reputation for thousands of years. If it is reported that the Mohist family accepts Meiniang as an apprentice, I'm afraid it will tarnish the reputation of the Mohist family."

Merton waved his big hand and said, "you can't ruin the reputation of Mohism. Being a teacher is not afraid. What are you afraid of?"

Wu Mei Niang bowed her head and said, "the master's love is in Mei Niang's heart, but the greedy blood of Zi Qian's family flowing on Mei Niang's body may not be worthy of this blessing."

Merton suddenly realized that the reason why Meiniang was so was probably from Wu yuanshuang's words, because she was born in Ziqian's family and had low self-esteem.

When Merton thought of this place, he suddenly showed a trace of love. At the beginning, he accepted Wu Meiniang as an apprentice out of curiosity about the female emperor in history. However, after several months of contact, Merton has accepted the apprentice from the bottom of his heart. Now he has changed Wu Meiniang's life track, how can he let her repeat the mistakes.

At that moment, Merton got up and sighed, "it's my teacher's fault. I've been teaching you Mohist ink skills, but I forget that you're just a teenage girl and need mental enlightenment.

"Master, I......" Wu Meiniang shook her head and argued.

Merton waved his hand and stopped Wu Meiniang's words. Lang said, "you think you were born evil in Ziqian's family, but you don't know it's a big mistake."

"Everyone in the world believes that human nature is evil, and the son of the wicked must be evil. The son of the sinner must be guilty. As a teacher, it is confirmed that there is no distinction between good and evil. Everyone is as pure as a piece of white paper when he is just born. What really distinguishes good and evil is the acquired environment and education, not the identity and life experience at birth.

"People are born with no distinction between good and evil?" Wu Meiniang was stunned. When she learned her real life experience, she always felt inferior for her life experience, but she didn't think it was a different answer in the master's mouth.

"Yes, I want to tell you that human nature is good, but I don't want to cheat you." Merton sighed.

Wu Mei Niang frowned and said, "but as far as I know, when people were just born, they would only occupy endlessly. If no one answered, they would cry loudly. When they saw delicious and fun, they would try their best to occupy and refuse to divide people. That was the case when my three younger sisters were just born. My mother said, so was I at that time!

"In addition, it is said that when the bird just broke its shell, the strong bird would squeeze the thin young bird out of the nest and let it fall to death. However, it is true that humans and animals enjoy the food of the mother bird alone. Why is it not that human nature is evil?" Wu Meiniang said stubbornly.

Merton shook his head and said, "the biggest difference between man and animals is that animals are completely animal, while man has both animal and human nature. Animal nature is the instinct of any animal to find food and make a living. It is born like a baby's exclusive mother and a young bird's brother.

Human nature is nurtured the day after tomorrow. Of course, the best way is education. When people are sensible, they will slowly know how to share and love their brothers. "

"Human nature and animal nature?" Wu Meiniang was stunned. It was the first time he heard of such a theory.

Merton nodded and said, "so birth and childhood can't determine a person's good and evil, but what really determines a person's good and evil is the day after tomorrow. Although you were born in Ziqian family, you are influenced by my Mohist philosophy. Whether you become a good person or a bad person completely depends on yourself, not your origin."

"It's up to me?" murmured Wu Meiniang.

"You've been addicted to ink skills recently, but as a teacher, you forget your defects in enlightening your mind. Fortunately, as a teacher, I have a three Character Classic taught to you. As your enlightenment book, it can certainly solve your doubts."

"Three Character Classic? Is there this book?" Wu Meiniang shook her head. Merton's collection of books can be said to be extremely complete. She has turned over the books in her study many times and has never heard of the Three Character Classic.

"This is what the teacher did for you. Listen carefully?" said Merton Lang.

"Disciple, please listen to master's instruction." Wu Meiniang solemnly performed the disciple's ceremony.

"At the beginning of human life, nature is good. Nature is similar, practice is far away..."

Merton taught Wu Meiniang the famous Three Character Classic of later generations. The Three Character Classic of later generations was created in the Song Dynasty. It is not only catchy, but also a mixture of various knowledge of classics and history. It is a classic enlightenment thing inherited for thousands of years.

Merton changed it a little, changed the original Confucianism into hundreds, and changed all the history after the Tang Dynasty into hundreds of classic characters, which can be seamlessly connected.

Wu Meiniang wrote it down with her heart. It was like being enlightened.

"But didn't master just say that there is no distinction between good and evil in human nature? Why does the Three Character Classic say that human nature is good?" Wu Meiniang asked after thinking for a moment.

"Although there is no good or evil in human nature, our education of others will promote good and suppress evil, and naturally advocate the original good of human nature." Merton did not hide something from Wu Meiniang, but said bluntly.

"I see." Wu Meiniang said solemnly, and the depression in her heart was immediately swept away.
