It is undoubtedly a painful thing to deal with a person who has no shortcomings in personal ethics.
Because in the eyes of ordinary people: everything a moral person does is right!
If you have a different opinion?
Sorry, this person who puts forward different opinions will immediately be classified as a treacherous villain! Regardless of your two opinions, which one is right or wrong.
Obviously, Xiao Han doesn't want to be a villain that everyone shouts about.
Although his reputation in Chang'an is no longer very good, no one with a right mind would be willing to do this kind of behavior which is tantamount to pouring dirty water on himself.
Therefore, Xiao Han quickly made up his mind: he would never conflict with Ma Zhouqi, he just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible!
As for how to get rid of him perfunctorily? Xiao Han only thought about it briefly and came up with a way.
"Haha, I'm a guest from afar. Sir, stop standing and talking. Let's go over there and sit down and talk!"
After making a haha, Xiao Han pointed to the pavilion in the open space over there and strode towards it.
Well, that's right, the place where he invited Ma Zhou to talk was a pavilion, the kind that lets in rain from all sides and allows ventilation from all sides.
"Please! Sit down!"
When he came to the pavilion and looked at the stone bench still covered with frost, Xiao Han gritted his teeth and sat down!
And this time, even though he had worn a lot of clothes today and even put his fur under his buttocks, he was still so cold that he wanted to jump up on the spot.
However, when he thought that Ma Zhou across from him was only wearing a cloth robe and would definitely not be as cold-resistant as him, Xiao Han used great perseverance to force himself to stay on top.
On the other side, although Ma Zhou is an upright person, it does not mean that he is stupid. He can still see clearly Xiao Han's obvious behavior of expelling guests.
If this had happened before, he would have walked away, but today, he endured it!
"I dare not call you sir! I'm here to ask Marquis Xiao about something!"
Arching his hands towards Xiao Han, Ma Zhou glanced at the stone bench that looked like a torture instrument. He did not sit down, but stood upright opposite him. This made Xiao Han, who was prepared to see him make a fool of himself, somewhat disappointed.
"What's up?"
Seeing that others were not fooled, and he could not force others to sit down, he wanted to stand up but was afraid of losing face. In the end, Xiao Han had to endure the feeling of his butt being frozen into ice and asked with a smile.
From the previous contact, Ma Zhou already knew that Xiao Han didn't want to see him, so he didn't want to beat around the bush with him. He took out a piece of paper full of Juanxiu's small words from his arms and put it on the stone table with both hands.
"Yesterday, I read Xiao Hou's Theory of Wealth, recommended by a friend!"
As he spoke, when he saw Xiao Han reaching out to take the piece of paper, Ma Zhou's expression finally changed. From expressionless to serious, he continued to speak slowly:
"Xiao Hou, you have many views in this theory of wealth that I have never seen or heard of before, but if you think about it carefully, they are very reasonable!
To be honest, I stayed up all night last night just to study this theory of wealth. However, I am stupid and cannot understand the principles of many things, so I came here today to ask for advice!"
"My Theory of Wealth?" Xiao Han also saw the content on the piece of paper at this time. After reading it carefully, he remembered that what was originally recorded on the paper was actually what he had drawn when he deceived Xiao Lizi and Li Jing.
Big cake.
Thinking about the original scene, even he couldn't remember some of them clearly, but now these words were completely recorded on the piece of paper in front of him.
And that’s not just memorizing it, there are densely written annotations next to what I said. Just looking at the number of words, it’s actually several times more than my original words!
"Ahem, this is just nonsense that I just said casually. I can't take it seriously, I can't take it seriously..." Looking at the nonsense he used to fool them, Xiao Han's face turned red and he couldn't help but said sarcastically.
"Xiao Hou is too modest!" Ma Zhou heard this and solemnly saluted Xiao Han again: "I have come here specially to ask Xiao Hou to clear up my doubts!"
This time, Ma Zhou's salute was no longer an ordinary hand-over salute, but an authentic disciple's salute, which meant that Ma Zhou indeed regarded Xiao Han as his teacher in this matter.
There is no before or after in learning, the master is the teacher!
Xiao Han didn't know that Ma Yiyi first saw this so-called theory of wealth yesterday, and read it with the mentality of watching a joke.
However, after reading it once, he felt that some of the things mentioned in it seemed to be true, especially the words that refuted the immutability of wealth, which overturned his inherent concept of wealth.
.
"Xiao Hou said here: Wealth is created by labor, and wisdom will speed up the creation of wealth. Does this mean that the wealth in this world has actually been growing?"
Without giving Xiao Han another chance to refuse, Ma Zhou directly asked his question.
"Ahem, you can say that." Xiao Han had no choice but to nod in reply.
"Then according to what Xiaohou said, wealth has been increasing, so why are the people still in poverty?" Ma Zhou continued to ask with burning eyes.
"This..." Xiao Han twitched the corner of his mouth twice and said with a bitter smile: "Because most of the increased wealth has not flowed into the hands of the people."
Ma Zhou's eyes narrowed, but he did not ask where the wealth went, because the question was already obvious.
"According to what Xiao Hou sees, how can wealth flow back into the hands of the people?"
"This is difficult!"
Xiao Han was also brought into his thoughts by Ma Zhou at this time, and he could no longer feel the coldness on his body.
"Wealth will gather! They will naturally flow towards the powerful! This is the essence of wealth and cannot be changed at all!"
"Then Xiao Hou means that the people deserve to be in poverty?"
"That's not true! Because although most wealth will eventually flow to the powerful, in the process of generating wealth, there will still be some benefits to the people who create the wealth!"
"What do you mean by this?"
"Well... Sir, you can take a look at the people in my village. They are all ordinary people! They obtain wealth through labor, work, or farming. Although this wealth will eventually be transferred out, there is no guarantee that it will be transferred during the transfer process.
During this period, they also enjoyed the life changes brought about by this wealth, which is the benefit of wealth."
"I have long heard about the wealth of the Xiao family and Zhuangzi, and I am also curious, why are you, a member of the Zhuangzi, so wealthy, while other Zhuangzi are not?"
"This may be the role of wisdom in wealth! As you can see, in the Xiao family village, there are very few people who only rely on farming for a living. Most of them go to work and do business. Through these, they can accelerate wealth
