Chapter 2608: Poverty and wealth

The only thing that can be known is that Guo Yi is very wealthy and spent 10,000 guan to buy this pharmacy, and gives hundreds of guan to these poor people every day. How can you think there are such stupid people in this world?

Although Guo Yi is said to be stupid, Guo Yi has never defaulted on their wages.

Not only was the salary not owed, but he also spent a lot of money to invite three well-known old doctors from Wu State to come here for consultation.

It’s okay to spend a lot of money. After all, he is a veteran and has treated countless people in his life. If you invite them to come for a consultation, you will definitely not be in debt. But the problem is that Guo Yi doesn’t charge a penny, even in the pharmacy.

The medicines are half sold and half given away.

"Sigh, I don't know how long this pharmacy can last!" the green-robed clerk said with emotion.

"It's only a day if it lasts." The gray-robed man smiled and said, "I guess, this young man must be a young man from some country. In all likelihood, he bought his reputation with money."

"It's possible!" The green-robed man nodded and said, "When people know about it, he will definitely be respected by the kings and nobles of various countries. Then he will become famous in one fell swoop."

People!

If you don’t care about wealth, then you should care about fame, right?

It is impossible for a person to live his whole life without some purpose.

The poor want to fill their stomachs, and the people at the bottom think about how to change their destiny. The rich want to be someone that everyone respects, and the powerful want to become famous.

Therefore, these two guys naturally thought that Guo Yi had a purpose.

Even a rich fool would not be so stupid as to pour his own money into other people's pockets.

Freed from the pharmacy, Guo Yi went to school.

The school is a private school.

There were private school teachers who taught and educated people, and people who could read and write were considered literate people in that era.

At least in their opinion this is a very cultural thing.

In the school, more than ten children were sitting neatly.

Guo Nian sat last, not because he was the tallest, but because he was dressed the simplest. He didn't look like a child from a wealthy family.

These days, only children from wealthy families can attend private schools.

Even if you have no money, you are definitely not poor.

Because only children from poor families dress as poorly as Guo Nian. They wear simple linen clothes without any accessories. The other children have more or less some accessories on their bodies, either gold or jade.

Guo Yi is the only student in this school without any accessories.

School is over.

The old gentleman stood at the door and said goodbye to the children one by one.

"Are you Guo Nian's father?" The old gentleman is not a wealthy man. He is wearing a cotton coat and a round hat.

"Yeah!" Guo Yi nodded slightly to show courtesy.

The old gentleman said: "I want to talk to you. Are you free?"

"Of course!" Guo Yi nodded.

"Please come inside!" The old gentleman turned around and let Guo Yi in.

In the private school, the two of them sat face to face.

The old gentleman poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Guo Nian is the smartest child I have met over the years of teaching and educating people. I have great hopes for him. I don't know what you have for his future.

view?"

"Nian'er's future?" Guo Yi thought for a moment, then smiled: "My biggest expectation for him is that he can live a normal life. As for the rest, I didn't think much about it."

"That won't work!" The old gentleman waved his hands hurriedly and said, "That's why I'm looking for you today. Such an outstanding child shouldn't waste his talent."

"What do you think, old gentleman?" Guo Yixiao asked.

"Wu Guozheng is in short supply of capable generals. I think Guo Nian can obtain merit and serve the country," the old man said.

The old gentleman is a loyal and kind person of Wu State, and he only thinks about the development of Wu State.

However, in Guo Yi's eyes, the current situation of Wu State should be the best. The country is peaceful and quiet, and the people are peaceful.

The absence of war is the best thing for the people of a country.

Expanding the territory of a country does not bring any benefits to the people, but only brings the greatest benefits to the rulers.

"But wouldn't it be better to live a plain life?" Guo Yi asked rhetorically.

"A man who has ambitions in all directions, how can he covet the quick success of one person?" The old man stood up and said: "Although the country of Wu is peaceful at home, it is because the country of Wu is weak and does not participate in any country's war. This is achieved at the expense of dignity.

Peace! Besides, a true man should serve the country and make contributions."

Guo Yi shook his head: "No, the old gentleman is wrong. In my opinion, plainness is true, and any glory, wealth and power in the world are fake."

"Your Excellency, everyone has his own destiny, and Guo Nian also has his own destiny." The old man looked at Guo Yi and said, "You can't decide all this for your child. You should let your child decide for himself. Maybe everything about you

They are all right, but not everyone has the same fate. Every life is worthy of respect, isn't it?"

"Maybe you are right." Guo Yi smiled.

After saying that, Guo Yi stood up and said, "Nian'er, it's time for us to go home."

"Yes, father." Guo Nian hurriedly packed up his books. Then he followed Guo Yi and left. Before leaving, he bowed and said, "Teacher, I'm leaving."

"Good boy, walk slowly." The old gentleman nodded hurriedly.

On the way home.

Father and son walked side by side, one tall and one short, one old and the other young.

Guo Yi is taciturn.

Guo Nian refused to disturb his father.

After a long time, Guo Nian finally spoke: "Father!"

"Nian'er, are you worried?" Guo Yi asked.

"Yeah." Guo Nian nodded.

"Tell me about it." Guo Yi smiled and said, "Do you have something on your mind that you want to tell me?"

"It's nothing to worry about, but I don't understand a little bit!" Guo Nian pursed his lips and said, "Why aren't the children in the school willing to play with me?"

"Oh?" Guo Yi was puzzled and asked curiously: "Why?"

"Father, can you tell me what poverty is and what wealth is?" Guo Nian asked.

Guo Yi immediately froze.

Nian'er is growing up.

It's time for me to put the first stroke of rich color on the white paper of his life.

As a father of children, he is like a top-notch painter. The first stroke must be made with extreme caution.

Guo Yi smiled and asked: "Nian'er, what do you think is poverty and what is wealth?"

"Children in the school say that if you have money, you are rich, and if you don't have money, you are poor. Is it true?" Guo Nian looked up at his father.

Ever since he was little, he has been indoctrinated by his mother.

That is, his father is the greatest hero and the most amazing being in the world.

so!

Father is your God and your only truth.
