When Guo Dan just now proposed to use a saint to prove his point of view, Cui Youli and others were actually very surprised.

Because they all know that Guo Dan actually knows how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. If you talk to him about Confucian classics, he will definitely pretend to be stupid and say that he is a child and a businessman. If he doesn't understand these, don't talk to me.

But he was shameless and shameless, without considering the feelings of these scholars.

We can't always remember to eat and not beat them. They are prepared this time to prevent Guo Dan from causing the topic to go astray again.

But I never thought that this time Guo Dan actually offered to talk about the saint at the beginning.

Cui Youli and the others swear in their hearts that if they can’t argue with Guo Dan’s words, they will immediately hang themselves.

I really have no face to see the elders of Jiangdong again.

That eight-legged essay test is the words of the saint!

The Grand Secretary in the VIP seat were eager to try and ready to go!

But at this moment!

saint?

Well, it seems that he is talking about saints.

But, something seems to be wrong.

He was not talking about the words of a saint, but why the saint was born.

this!

Everyone was confused again.

Including Aunt Xu, she did not expect that Guo Dan would actually say that it was the reason for the birth of a saint.

Is this a bit too far?

It's just an Enko, are you going so far?

The VIPs scoffed at this.

This kid always doesn't play by the rules.

If you really want to understand the cause of the birth of a saint, then you will become a god? Why don’t you still stand here and do it? Why don’t you go through the tribulation and go to heaven?

Really.

"Dare you ask why this is?"

Suddenly a scream came from afar.

Aunt Xu woke up in shock and turned her head to look, and saw that all the young people were looking at Guo Dan curiously.

It turned out that this question immediately aroused the curiosity of the young students.

Because no one has ever discussed this question, Guo Dan suddenly raised it. They found it very interesting and wanted to know the answer.

In terms of self-interest, if Guo Dan really knows why the saint was born, wouldn’t everyone have the opportunity to become a saint?

"productive forces."

Guo Dan was strong and powerful, saying word by word: "Performance will determine whether a saint is born."

“Create productivity?”

This answer made everyone present look question-marked.

The old opponent, Su Xu, was speechless about Guo Dan's words!

Can you even get involved in trading?

Because the word "productivity" appears many times in Guo Dan's words, and he is usually used in transactions, everyone subconsciously thinks that you are talking about transactions again!

It turns out that it is still an old routine, playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses, but just changing your style.

But this time you were a little stiff, not as smooth as before.

Because these two things are not a big deal.

Gu Xiancheng, Tang Xianzu and others were also asking each other, but they all shook their heads repeatedly.

They didn't know what Guo Dan was talking about, and they wanted to debate with Guo Dan, and they didn't know where to start.

There is no need to argue with the madman.

But when I saw Guo Dan standing on it, he was full of confidence, and he said it as if it was real.

Where did this kid get the confidence!

Deviated!

It's so biased!

“Bad talk.”

Cui Youli felt that Guo Dan was really ungrateful at this time, and stood up and scolded angrily: "You are simply talking nonsense. What does this saint have to do with productivity?"

But his anger made Guo Dan smile with a signature smile, "The nonsense means those baseless remarks, such as the saints are reincarnations of gods. If both Lao Tzu and Confucius were reincarnations of gods, how could Lao Tzu allow Confucianism to be respected? It would be even more impossible for the Legalists. But those who know me know that I will not speak easily without evidence, which will affect my credibility."

As he said that, he nodded to the audience.

The Jinyiwei came up with rolls of cloth. They spread the rolls of cloth and then hung them on the wooden rack behind Guo Dan.

When Aunt Xu saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I just said there was something missing. It turned out that he was going to keep it a secret."

The charts are simply Guo Dan’s standard configuration!

This roll of cloth is combined on a wooden rack to form a huge—well, yes, or a data graph.

Guo Dan will even mess with this.

Just as everyone stretched their necks and stared at the data chart, Guo Dan had already had a long bamboo stick in his hand. He came to the chart and pointed to the conspicuous rust-colored area in the middle of the chart with a long stick and said: "Please look, this rust-colored area represents the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the lower part is two weeks, and the upper part is the Qin and Han Dynasties."

As he said that, he suddenly looked at the students behind him and asked, "Does anyone know why I use rust to represent the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"

"Is it because during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a large number of iron tools appeared?"

A young man replied subconsciously.

It was Xu Guangqi who stood on the left of the audience.

Guo Tan nodded with a smile and said, "Xu Xiucai was very correct! It was because iron tools began to become popular in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so what followed was the expansion of arable land and irrigation areas, the improvement of farming technology, the prosperity of handicrafts, and the large-scale issuance of metal coins. I am not talking nonsense, I have reference history books."

As he said that, he pointed to the words on the side, "This is all about arable land and yields around the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. If you still don't understand, then look at this red line hidden in the rust area. This red line marks the change in productivity. It can be seen that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, productivity is growing rapidly."

Shen Bowen suddenly interrupted Guo Dan, "So what if it is, we should not listen to you when we sit here. Then again, you, as a child, have read history books, can we not read it?"

Cui Youli also echoed: "The key is that it has nothing to do with the saint."

They prevent Guo Dan from talking further and further. This was the case in the last few times, so they would make everyone dizzy first.

"It's related, but you didn't find it."

Guo Dan smiled slightly and said, "Next, I will say, what is the connection between this productivity and the saints? Please be careful not to be impatient."

It is true that some major scholars are drowsy about this, and they talk about it in detail, but most young students are very interested in it. They are all looking forward to it and longing for the answer to be revealed.

Cui Youli and the others can only bear it anymore!

Guo Dan said to everyone again: "I believe everyone has no doubts about my data. There are all the sources on it. If you don't know, you can check it yourself. Then, I will explain what this has to do with the saint."

As he said that, he pointed the long stick at the upper and lower parts of the chart, "You see, it all contains two systems from the Qin and Han dynasties. It can be seen from the naked eye that these are basically two completely different systems. I will not elaborate on this point, because you may understand more than me.

But you should pay attention to it. It took only a few years from the Zhou Dynasty to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and how many years it took for the Qin and Han Dynasties to our Ming Dynasty. It is obvious that our Ming and Qin and Han Dynasties have the same tradition and the social structure is very similar. However, unlike the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Two Zhou Dynasties, there are two very different systems and societies.

But is this because there were no Legalists, Confucianism and Taoism in the Zhou Dynasty? Of course not. This is the result, not the cause, and the reason is the change in productivity I mentioned before. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the Ming Dynasty, although productivity has been growing, it has been very smooth, and there has never been a leap-forward growth in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."

Xu Guangqi was extremely fascinated by the sound of his hearing and couldn't help but ask: "What Consultant Guo meant is that this leap-by-leap growth has led to the emergence of various schools of thought?"

“That’s exactly that.”

Guo Dan nodded and said.

"Director, I don't know what the relationship between these two?" Li Zhi couldn't help but say curiously.

They became more and more fascinated by hearing this!

It seems like this is solving a case.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Relationship lies in the growth of productivity, which changed people's lifestyles. When people's lifestyles change, the relationship between people also changed. To give a very simple example, let's talk about bronze and ironware. Compared with ironware, there are very few bronzes. Kings and nobles can control bronzes well, which led to people being very dependent on the kings and nobles at that time.

However, iron is much more than bronze and is widely distributed. The king and the nobles will no longer be able to control the iron tools, which will gradually become distant between the people and them. This directly disintegrates the well-field system, the emergence of private land ownership, the decline of the nobles, and the brilliant appearance of the landlords. Has the relationship between people changed?

Let’s take a look at what Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism say. The essence is actually the relationship between people, the king and the minister, the father and the son, the brother and the brother, the husband and the wife, but did they have no such relationship before?

There are all, but the relationship between people has changed, and all these relationships have to be redefined. Therefore, the saints have begun to reconsider what kind of relationship should be between people so that everything can be calm and a harmonious society will emerge, instead of fighting each other. In other words, it is necessary to have new ideas to adapt to this new relationship, so various schools of thought were born. To sum it up in one sentence, it is the time to create heroes."

Aunt Xu opened her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but look at the chart again, as if it was blurred so that everything gradually became clear. She turned her eyes to Guo Dan, gradually becoming hot.

The same is true for Xu Guangqi and the others. They gradually understood what this chart said.

Gao Panlong, who had been a little contemptuous of Guo Dan before, also looked up at Guo Dan.

Not to mention whether this is true, it is already a great insight just by being able to connect the two.

Su Xu suddenly said, "Weihui Mansion."

Tan Xiu, who was standing aside, said curiously: "What Wei Hui Mansion?"

Su Xu frowned and said, "In Weihui Mansion, productivity is also growing leaps and boundaries between people are gradually changing. If all this is true, it means that the era of various schools of thought may come to the Central Plains again."

Tan Xiu was shocked suddenly, opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't close it. He said in a trembling voice: "The era of various philosophers and hundreds of schools is coming again?"
