"Yes, Brother Wang, please share your thoughts!"

Everyone turned to look at Wang Ji.

Wang Ji smiled and said loudly, "I believe that the master-disciple relationship mentioned by Patriarch Zheng is the closest."

The master and disciple are originally unrelated people, but the master treats them as his own child, receives their knowledge, and teaches them how to be a person. The disciple learns the master's knowledge and takes the master's words and deeds as the standard!

Therefore, I believe this kind of relationship is the purest and closest. What do you all think?

"Hmm, Brother Wang's words are very wise!"

"Indeed, if a ruler is immoral, his subjects will abandon him; if a father is immoral, his son will betray him; if a wife is unvirtuous, her husband will divorce her. Only the relationship between teacher and student cannot be abandoned!"

"That's right. Even if there are occasionally unethical people who betray their masters, their knowledge cannot be betrayed. In the eyes of the world, a disciple will always bear the mark of his master!"

Everyone agreed with Wang Ji's statement about the bond between master and disciple.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his statement, Wang Ji smiled and nodded, then said loudly:

"Since you all agree with this reasoning, do you think that establishing schools is more beneficial or harmful to us?"

Everyone paused, lost in thought.

Zheng Yun pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "In terms of advantages and disadvantages, anyone can run a school, which puts us in a rather passive position."

However, in the art of teaching, we have some advantages, after all, their knowledge, books, and background are all inferior to ours!

“What Patriarch Zheng says is true. If they can run schools, then we cannot fall behind. In fact, we should run more and more schools. At that time, most students in the world will be our disciples. With this advantage, what do we have to fear?”

"Yes, that makes sense!!"

Wang Ji's words made everyone suddenly realize the truth.

Although establishing schools broke their monopoly, it also provided them with an opportunity to grow and expand.

Through the petition by workers and peasants, people realized the advantage of having a large number of people; the more people you have, the more weight your words carry.

There is strength in numbers, that's for sure.
