The students all became ashamed and angry, and they denounced

"How can you treat elders like this?"

"Respecting the old and caring for the young has always been a tradition in our dynasty. The elder was struggling to lift the sedan on the ground. How could he sit down with peace of mind? All they eat are steamed buns made of human blood!"

"This is disrespectful to the teacher and goes against the principles of saints and sages. It’s too much!"

"Doesn't his conscience hurt?"

……

Lin Beifan asked again:"What should we do?"

"That person should be asked to come down immediately, with the older one at the top and the younger one at the bottom!"

"Let young people carry the sedan chair for the elderly. This is in line with human relations and heaven! Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a violation of morality?"

"We also want young people to apologize to their elders!"

……

Lin Beifan smiled slightly:"But that young man paid for the sedan chair!"

"What’s the point of paying money, when you can do whatever you want with it?"

"Is it okay to trample on the dignity of the elderly just by paying? How can this make sense?"

"Even if he paid, he couldn't sit down!"

……

Everyone still shared the same hatred and was very excited.

Lin Beifan still smiled slightly:"But if you don't sit down, the two elders will have no money to make! Without money to make, they will starve to death! As the saying goes, human life is at stake, can you shoulder this responsibility?"

"this……"Everyone was a little speechless

"Lord Jijiu, how could they starve to death?"A student asked in confusion:"Don't they have children at home? Can't they just let the children raise them? Lin

Beifan shook his head:"Your question is too naive!" If their family has children to take care of in old age, will they still make money when they are still young? Even if they have children at home, can their children bear to see their father carrying a sedan chair for others to make money when he is old?"

"this……"Everyone was speechless again.

Lin Beifan said:"The reason why they carry sedan chairs to make money must be because they have no choice! If you don't believe me, go and ask and see if what I said is right!"

They did ask and received a very frustrating reply.

One of the old men has been a bachelor for more than 30 years. Everyone in his family has died, and he is the only one left.

Another old man had a child, but the child was born with dementia and had a very low intelligence. It was difficult for him to support himself, let alone support him in his old age.

So as a last resort, they had no choice but to make money on their own.

The student asked:"Why don't you do some simple work? Carrying the sedan chair is too tiring and hard!"

The elder replied:"Do you think we don't want to? We are all old now, our hands and feet are not agile enough, our brains are not flexible enough, and others are afraid If something happens to us, we don’t dare to invite us! So we have to put up a front and come out to make money!"

The student asked:"You can do a small business to support yourself!"

The elder replied:"How do we know this? We are being deceived and don’t even know it. It’s better to Lifting a sedan chair is real!"

The student asked:"But you can't lift young people. It's not in line with human ethics and must be stopped!"

The elder replied:"Don't mess around! What we are making now is young people's money, and only young people are willing to give it up. Spend money! The old people are stingier than the other, saving money for retirement!"

The student asked:"But this is really hard, how long can you carry it?"

The elder replied:"Human life is like grass, and one day counts as long as you can live." Don't ask for anything!"

Looking at the frustrated students, Lin Beifan said with a smile:"It is against human ethics for young people to sit in sedan chairs! But if young people don't sit on airs, these two elders will have to starve to death! So now you still think that it is wrong for the old to carry the sedan for the young? Should it be stopped?"

Everyone looked at each other, speechless and very frustrated.

"Existence is reasonable, reality is so cruel! Lin Beifan shook his sleeves:"So, now comes the problem!" If you are officials, how do you solve the problem of them having someone to rely on when they are old?"

A student raised his hand:"We will give him money and food so that they will have something to rely on when they grow old!

Lin Beifan shook his head:"No!" There are tens of millions of old people like them, and the imperial court does not have so much money and food!"

A student raised his hand:"We can call on today's young people to provide for them in their old age!

Lin Beifan shook his head again:"No!" Nowadays, young people have a hard time supporting themselves, so why should they support others?"

A student raised his hand:"We can provide them with simple jobs!

Lin Beifan shook his head again:"No!" All the work the court can provide is hard work, more tiring than carrying a sedan chair!"

……

They put forward a suggestion, but Lin Beifan rejected it.

Everyone was getting more and more frustrated, and their mouths were very bitter:"Is there really no solution?"

Lin Beifan smiled:"The reality is more cruel than you imagine!"

Then, Lin Beifan led everyone to the door of a wealthy family. , there was a poor family there who was selling their daughters as slaves to serve as maids for wealthy families.

Lin Beifan smiled and asked:"What do you think of this situation?"

Everyone became angry again

"How can you sell your daughter?"

"Selling your daughter for a little money is so inhumane!"

"Such people are not qualified to be parents!"

……

Lin Beifan smiled and asked:"What should we do?"

"They must be stopped. No matter how poor you are, you cannot sell your daughter. This is the basic morality of being a human being!"

"How could they do such a thing? Do you still know some etiquette and integrity?"

"They must be reported to the officials and arrested and educated!"

……

Lin Beifan smiled and said:"But if the daughter is not sold, the whole family of the poor family may starve to death, and even the daughter will starve to death! But if the daughter is sold, the whole family can survive! Then My daughter can survive working as a maid in a wealthy family! What do you think we should do?"

"this……"Everyone was stunned speechless again

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"One student said angrily.

"If you don’t believe me, go and ask!"

After they asked about it, it was indeed the case.

There were about 8 people in that poor family, old and young, including two elderly people who were unable to work and were ill. They had 4 children, all of whom were still young, and there was a lack of labor force.

The most important thing is that , the male owner is disabled and has limited mobility, and the female owner has limited abilities.

It is too difficult for them to make money to feed their eight people.

So there is really no choice but to sell their eldest daughter.

The student asked:"No matter how poor you are, you can't sell your daughter!" The male owner said:"We don't want to either, but if we don't sell it, our whole family will have nothing to eat!"

The student asked:"She is your flesh and blood, are you willing to let her go?"

The male host:"Of course we couldn't bear to part with her, so we found a good home for her!" In this good family, he can eat well and sleep warmly! Moreover, we can meet often and take care of each other! We asked our daughter and she agreed!"

After asking, the students came back frustrated.

Lin Beifan asked:"If we don't sell our daughter, the whole family will not be able to survive! If you sell your daughter, everyone can survive! Moreover, my daughter can live a better life! Now you still think it’s wrong to sell your daughter?"

"this……"Everyone looked at each other

"The problem is here again! Lin Beifan asked:"If you are officials, how can you solve the problem of these children having little to support them?" So that they can all grow up peacefully with their parents and enjoy family happiness?"

The students once again put forward one suggestion after another, but they were all rejected by Lin Beifan.

Because the suggestions they put forward were good ideas, but not feasible.

Then, Lin Beifan led everyone to a young man with sound hands and feet. in front of beggars

"What do you think about this situation?"

The students were angry!

Before, they met two old men and a poor family. Due to various reasons, their lives were hard, but they still chose to work to support themselves. It was very admirable.

As a result, this man with sound hands and feet A young man turned into a beggar.

One student said angrily:"You have hands and feet, why do you still beg for money on the street?

The young beggar was confused:"I have hands and feet, but I have no money!"

The student continued angrily:"You will make money if you work hard!"

The young beggar burst out laughing:"You can make money by working hard?" If you say this, just lie to the devil! Look at those farmers who have been working in the fields all their lives, and their backs are bent. Have they ever made a fortune? Look at those workers again. They have worked hard and dirty jobs all their lives. They are so tired that they don’t even look like human beings. Have their lives ever been better?"

"you!"Everyone was speechless

"So, I think about it now! When you're hungry, go beg for food; when you're thirsty, go find water! I usually have a lot of leisure time, where I can bask in the sun, enjoy the beautiful scenery on the street, and look at beautiful women. I can do whatever I want. What a fun life! Life is only 50 years, a lifetime of suffering and a lifetime of tiredness. Why don’t I choose to be happy for a lifetime?"

"It's wrong for you to do this……"

"have whatright? The young beggar crossed his legs and said,"I don't steal, I don't rob, and I don't commit crimes. What can you do to me?" See, you are all scholars. Don’t spend your whole life reading books and blind your brain! Ha ha!"

The students came back frustrated again.

Lin Beifan smiled slightly:"That beggar is right. You may not make money if you work hard, but you will definitely live a comfortable life if you don't work hard. I was moved when I heard that! If it were you, how would you choose?"

Everyone looked at each other and didn't answer.

"Then the question comes again, if you are officials, how to get them to move?"

The students still can't think of a solution. They don't want to work anymore. If they lie down and die, what can you do?

Unless you put a knife on his neck, but how long can you do this?

"Okay, that’s it for today’s class. Go back and think about the problems you encountered today. Once you think about it clearly, you will know how to be an official!"

"Yes, Master Jijiu, the student has resigned!"The students bowed their hands and said goodbye.

Lin Beifan also turned and left.

"Lord Jijiu, please stay! Yao Zheng shouted as he chased after him.
