Xie Daoyun frowned and thought deeply. She could not say that Li Hui's words were completely unreasonable, but Li Hui's words were somewhat biased.
"I think it's a kind of helplessness." Xie Daoyun said.
Li Hui nodded and said: "I agree, it is indeed a helplessness. I am not disrespecting their personal choice and ambition, I just say that they cannot be called sages. The name of sages needs to bear many meanings. They are all
A talented person, a person of integrity, but that’s all.”
Xie Daoyun said: "Isn't it right to pursue personal choices?"
Li Huidao: "People cannot only think about themselves. Personal choices are certainly worthy of respect, but wise men must bear greater responsibilities. They should stand higher and have a broader vision. Personal integrity is certainly worthy of praise and praise.
But if you can have the world in mind and work hard for it instead of giving up on yourself, it will be more respectable. What's more, some people's behavior has brought worse effects, and the praise of these people has brought more people to follow suit.
Therefore, some people now regard dissoluteness as their demeanor, ignore the suffering in front of them, and only think about themselves. This is a misguided approach. Especially these people are now serving as officials, but they want to imitate hermits, which is a journey of vegetarianism.
."
In fact, Li Hui himself felt that his words were a bit unreasonable. He did not have much hostility or disgust towards the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, but at this moment, in order to explain his point of view, he had to put a big hat on them. Of course, Li Hui's words
It is not entirely false accusations against them. The ethos of the Wei and Jin Dynasties was largely influenced by the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove. This is also an indisputable fact.
Xie Daoyun was not completely convinced, but after the debate, Xie Daoyun had a completely new understanding of Li Hui. The young man from the Li family in front of him was obviously not an ordinary person. Although I could not completely agree with his words and opinions, it was obvious that
He is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and has his own opinions.
Of course, Xie Daoyun is so smart, she has also discovered Li Hui's little trick.
"Young man from the Li family, you are very cunning. What you just said is based on Confucianism and the worldly knowledge, and is used to measure the deeds of the Seven Sages. But in terms of Taoism, it is another result. Taoism
Yun wants to ask you, what do you think of the learning of Lao and Zhuang? Are Lao and Zhuang sages in your eyes?" Xie Daoyun asked.
Li Hui laughed and said: "I was discovered by you. Hahaha. Miss Xie is really knowledgeable and eloquent. What is even more admirable is that she is smart and has a good heart. I think we should stop here.
, the angle is different, and the debate for three days and three nights has no result. I give up."
Xie Daoyun also laughed, grabbed Li Hui's pigtails, and forced him to accept the defeat. This was very pleasant. Of course, she knew that it was not that Li Hui couldn't argue with her, but that it was indeed as he said. If the debate continued, I'm afraid
For three days and three nights I still couldn't tell.
"The debate does not need to have a result. The process alone is a kind of enjoyment. Dao Yun has benefited a lot from being able to talk about this matter with the young man of the Li family today. Thank you very much." Xie Daoyun bowed with a smile.
Li Hui cupped his hands and saluted and said: "I feel the same way. It's been a long time since I've had the pleasure of this kind of ideological collision. Thank you very much, Miss, for giving me such a feeling. Please forgive me if I'm rude."
The two of them had finished their salutes, and when they stood up, their eyes met and they both laughed.
Xie Daoyun's face turned slightly red, and she slowly walked to the piano table, knelt down, straightened her sleeves, and played the piano music again. She wanted to calm down her own mood, not to play for Li Hui.
Li Hui sat down to drink tea, listening to the melodious music of the piano, which was as vast as the blue sea and blue sky. Looking at Xie Daoyun's bent and focused figure, he felt as if he was in a dream.
The music was very short and came to an abrupt end soon. Xie Daoyun stood up and Li Hui clapped gently to express his admiration.
Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "Okay, I have wasted too much time of Mr. Li's family. It's time to get down to business. In fact, I invited Mr. Li's family here today because I have something to ask you. That is, what did you send me last time?
Do you still have the thing called 'soap' you gave us?"
Li Hui was overjoyed, knowing that great things were about to happen.
Li Hui put the package he brought with him on the table, opened it, and said with a smile: "Is Miss Xie talking about gelatin? I brought some more today. I thought that the soap I sent last time should have been used up, so this time I brought some more
I brought some."
Xie Daoyun happily picked it up and checked it, and said with a smile: "You are really thoughtful, and you actually brought some more. Do you know that this is what I asked you to come here for today?"
Li Hui smiled and said: "Of course I don't know, I just brought it as a gift. Because I really don't have anything to use. I was originally worried that you wouldn't like to use this thing, but now it seems that I am overly worried. That would be better
, I don’t have to worry about the gifts being despicable.”
Xie Daoyun pursed his lips and smiled and said: "You are indeed worrying too much. Not only Tongyun and I like it, but also the fourth uncle, aunt, sixth uncle and sixth aunt, and everyone in the house, boys and girls like to use it. Especially my fourth uncle, he has always liked it.
I love cleanliness and bathe every day. Since I got this product, I have been full of praises after bathing. I ran out of it a few days ago. I wanted to wait for Xiaoxuan to come back and ask him to ask if you still have soap, but Xiaoxuan is in Beijing.
I'm leading an army to participate in this spring's drill, and I won't be back for a few days. Yesterday, my fourth uncle told me that my body was oily and I couldn't wash it off, which was very unpleasant. I thought about it, and I might as well ask the young man from the Li family to come and ask.
."
Li Hui suddenly realized. He was still a little confused before, how could Xie Daoyun, a lady from a wealthy family, easily ask an outsider like himself to see her. Even if it was about the soap, Xie Xuan should have come to talk to him.
Listening to Xie Daoyun's explanation, it seems reasonable. Xie Xuan went to participate in the spring drill of the Central Army of Jin Dynasty, and Li Hui knew about it. A few days ago, the garrison of Dongfu City near Dongli Gate also set off to the Xuanwu School Ground in the north of the city for drills.
This is a routine rotational drill held by the Central Army of the Jin Dynasty every year. The Suwei Army where Xie Xuan is located and the outer castle garrison take turns to drill, and it will last for one and a half months.
"So that's it. Hey, Mr. Xie actually sent someone to tell me, and I just ordered someone to deliver it. Why do we need Miss Lao Xie to come forward in person? It's just a trivial matter. It seems that I really brought the right gift today. It's expensive.
Everyone in the house likes it, that's great." Li Hui said with a smile.
Xie Daoyun picked up a piece of soap, brought it to his nose and smelled it, showing a satisfied look. Then he asked: "What is needed to make this soap? Is it difficult?"
Li Huidao: "It's not difficult, and it's not difficult for people to meet. However, it is indeed a bit troublesome. In order to make this batch, more than ten people in my family have been busy for more than ten days. Just to find the materials for making soap, I found three
Four days.”
Xie Daoyun nodded slightly and said, "Why did you think of making this thing?"
Li Hui said with a smile: "I saw that bath beans are expensive and difficult to wash, so I thought about it for a while, but I didn't expect it to work. I just spent all my family's savings on it, and everyone in the family was quite happy.
I have some complaints."
Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "Is it expensive to make this thing?"
Li Hui paused and said, "It's okay."
Xie Daoyun tilted his head and said, "How much does it cost to make a piece of this thing?"
Li Hui's mind was racing, and he wanted to say it was more expensive, but he felt it was inappropriate. Xie Xuan even let him live in the house for free. If he was killed too hard, he would feel a little sorry. But it's not enough to say it too low. What he will face in the future
It’s not just the Xie family, but the entire market of wealthy aristocrats and wealthy people in the Jin Dynasty. We can’t waste the money and give up the opportunity to collect the IQ tax.
"About two thousand dollars," Li Hui said.
"Two thousand dollars? How much should I pay? It turned out to be only two thousand dollars. Xiaoxuan spent 160,000 dollars on the banquet that night." Xie Daoyun laughed.
Li Hui wished he could slap himself in the mouth because he was still too soft-hearted.
"I'm talking about the cost of materials except labor. If labor is included, it will probably cost three or four thousand dollars." Li Hui hurriedly made up for it.
"That's not expensive. Mr. Li, I want to ask you to work harder and make some more soap. Although you sent some today, only a dozen yuan is not enough. There are so many people in my family waiting for a month."
At least one or two hundred pieces of soap are needed. These are all commonly used items. Of course, your hard work cannot be in vain. We will pay the cost of labor. Five thousand dollars each, and two hundred pieces of soap will be delivered every month.
Come, how about it?" Xie Daoyun said with a smile.
Li Hui made a calculation in his mind and was shocked by the figure he got. Five qian qian a piece and two hundred pieces of soap, that's a whole million yuan. And according to the cost of making soap, one qian qian is no more than qian qian.
In other words, you can earn 800,000 yuan from Xie Mansion in just one month.
Li Hui was very excited, but 800,000 dollars still did not satisfy Li Hui. He wanted more. Prices were so high these days that 800,000 dollars was nothing.
"What? Don't you think it's appropriate? How much do you want for a piece of soap?" Xie Daoyun saw that Li Hui was silent and thought he was too little, so he asked.
Li Huidao: "Miss Xie, how can I make money from you? This is too unethical. Everyone in the Xie family treats me very well. Brother Xie and I are good friends. I can't take advantage of the Xie family. Let's do this,
According to the price of the cost materials, each piece is two thousand and five hundred yuan. I can't ask for even one penny more."
Xie Daoyun said: "How can this be good? A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely. This is nothing. How can you let your hard work go in vain?"
Li Huidao: "Having said that, I feel uneasy about making money from the Xie family. That is absolutely not allowed."
Xie Daoyun said: "But isn't your family's hard work in vain?"
Li Hui smiled and said: "That's true. Soap making is extremely hard work. How about this, Miss Xie, let's discuss it. You can help me publicize it. There are so many wealthy families in the capital, such as the Langya Wang family, the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Yingchuan family.
The Yu family, as well as the royal family, various aristocratic families, etc. They should also like soap. With Miss Xie's reputation, just mention it, and they will use soap one after another. In this way, I can help my family from others.
The servants can earn some money from their hard work. What do you think?"
Xie Daoyun almost fainted and said in surprise: "You...you actually want me to help you sell soap?".
