I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 281 Are Kings and Nobles Born with a Special Kindness?

Li Mosi used only Chinese.

This left everyone around stunned.

"what?"

Haki looked at him with a "What are you talking about?" expression.

Li Mosi grabbed her arm to keep her from falling behind.

He continued talking as he walked.

"It is nothing to be ashamed of to be born into a lowly position. Knowing when to back down and when to strive to show oneself is the key to becoming a truly noble person."

What was originally a short sentence was translated into a way that anyone could understand using a long string of words.

The disciples looked at each other.

Clearly, they didn't quite understand.

Or rather, even if they understand it, they find it difficult to accept it calmly.

Zi'an had no idea why these disciples were considering such things.

The saintess waited quietly for Li Mosi to speak.

She wanted to see what else the craftsman could say.

Li Mosi immediately thought about "achieving success through hard work" and subconsciously recalled the "Preface to Sending Ma Sheng of Dongyang," which is often discussed.

I thought about the content.

He rejected it outright.

Ugh.

Before he traveled through time, he didn't quite understand the true meaning of this text when he studied it.

Even if I were to explain it now, neither the disciples nor their successors would likely understand.

The main point is that the opening line states, "Whenever I borrowed books from families with book collections, I would copy them by hand and return them on the appointed day..."

Who in this area could do something like this?

Borrowing books?

Are you willing to risk your life to borrow it?

Even unified feudal dynasties couldn't achieve this...

He thought for a moment and decided to keep it simple.

Do you think the car is expensive?

car?

Buckz instinctively opened his mouth.

"expensive!"

"It's quite expensive."

"It must be expensive."

The disciples nodded in agreement.

Although the manors usually had horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts, those were only used by coachmen when they were working for the lord, just like packhorses, which were animals specifically used for pulling carts.

Each craftsman's family owned at most one small cart.

Even such inexpensive handcarts are not something every craftsman can afford.

"But timber isn't expensive, is it?"

Zi'an still couldn't understand Li Mosi's question.

"Uh-huh!"

"yes!"

However, seeing that her disciples were all nodding, she assumed that was the case.

The saintess frowned.

Timber isn't expensive, but the carpenter's skill is!

and many more……

"Wood can be straight enough to conform to an ink line, but after being bent by fire, it can be made into a wheel. Its curvature conforms to the standard of a circle. Even if it is dried in the sun, it cannot return to its straightness. This is because the tanning process makes it this way."

Li Mosi paused for a moment as she spoke.

"Uh-huh."

When the disciples heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

They all know this.

"Therefore, wood can be cut into a straight shape by measuring with ink lines, and swords can become sharp by sharpening them on a whetstone. People need to learn a lot of knowledge and reflect on whether their actions are right or wrong every day in order to reduce mistakes."

"Um."

Zi'an nodded gently.

Now only she could keep up.

Whether they were disciples or saintesses, they were still pondering what Li Mosi had said.

However, Li Mosi didn't have much time to think.

He then spoke.

"Without climbing high mountains, you will not know how high the sky is; without going deep into the mountains, you will not know how thick the earth is; without hearing the teachings of the ancient sages, you will not know how vast knowledge is."

As he spoke, he recalled the background information related to "Gan", "Yue", "Yi", and "He".

"Whether they are slaves from afar, people from other countries, or tribes that do not farm but live by raising cattle and sheep, or even bear-beastmen and savages, the sound of their cries when they are born is the same."

"However, their lifestyles differ as they grow up, which is due to the education they received during their upbringing."

Milo's eyes widened even more.

His mouth was slightly open.

They clearly understood something.

But Li Mosi didn't give him a chance to speak.

He was already feeling emotional.

"I have thought all day long, but I have not gained as much as I have learned in a short time; I have stood on tiptoe to look into the distance, but I have not been able to see as far as I have climbed to a high place."

"Climbing to a high place and waving doesn't lengthen your arm, but people far away can still see you. Shouting in the direction the wind blows doesn't make your voice louder, but those who hear you can hear it more clearly."

"Those who ride in a carriage do not necessarily walk faster, but they can transport more goods. Those who sit in a boat do not necessarily know how to swim, but they can cross lakes or stay in them for a long time."

At this point, he felt that there were enough examples and that the facts were clear enough.

Buckz nodded.

Seeing that even the youngest student, Buckz, understood, Li Moss stopped talking.

The older he gets, the more he appreciates the brilliance of Xunzi's "Exhortation to Learning".

Simply using examples to make people understand this point is something many people find difficult to do.

Milo bowed deeply and respectfully greeted him.

"Master, are you saying that we are like timber, only after being processed can we become expensive wheels? And that only through learning can people become noble?"

Li Mosi nodded gently.

He then looked at the other disciples who were his successors.

"Noble people are no different from ordinary people in nature, except that they are better at using external things."

"You can't be tax officials without learning calculation. You can't be qualified managers without learning good morals. Is knowledge something you're born with?"

"no!"

Buckz raised his head and looked at Li Moss with his wide, shining eyes.

"We must learn from our mentors and predecessors in order to become qualified managers!"

well.

Seeing his passion, Li Mosi couldn't help but feel a little happier.

He reached out and touched Bazk's head, then looked at the other disciples.

Other disciples also followed Milo's example and bowed.

"I understand, Master."

"Good that you understand."

Li Moss gently pushed Buckz to continue forward.

The others followed suit and continued forward.

He waited for a few minutes.

Seeing that no disciples asked any more questions, Li Mosi looked at Haji Saint again.

Haki looked down at the dirt road beneath his feet, deep in thought.

He continued speaking.

There's a saying: "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"

Everyone around looked up.

This time, Li Mosi did not explain word for word.

"Does this mean that kings and marquises are born nobles?"

"Otherwise what?"

The saint immediately uttered a counter-question.

She spoke without thinking or showing any emotion.

It's as natural as the subconscious question that comes to mind after hearing "Do people need to eat?"

of course not.

Zi'an immediately came to a conclusion.

But looking at Hagi Saint's blank face, she felt that this woman wasn't looking for trouble.

She then turned to look at her thirteen disciples.

Their faces also bore a hint of confusion.

It's like having your eating and drinking denied.

Li Mosi noticed Zi'an's actions out of the corner of his eye and broke the silence by speaking.

"To carve out a manor from the forest, people need to cut down trees, clear land, and hunt wild animals..."

"Nobles are the strong who rise from the crowd, not those born into a particular race."
