My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

Zhu Biao and Fusu answered in unison.

Chen Mo smiled and nodded.

"Therefore, an investigation is not as simple as just sending someone down."

"It requires decision-makers to have the willingness to go deep into the grassroots, the wisdom to distinguish truth from falsehood, and an empathetic heart to understand the people's sentiments."

"We oppose working behind closed doors, listening to only one side, and making assumptions."

True wisdom is hidden in the fields and alleys, in the livelihoods and joys and sorrows of ordinary people.

"We must have faith in the power and wisdom of the people!"

"In fact, many things can be resolved simply by visiting the site and asking people for their honest opinions."

"When you encounter a problem, sometimes you shouldn't keep flipping through books to find the answer. Go and see for yourself, and you'll find the answer."

Chen Mo snorted coldly again.

"Of course, even if it's just flipping through a book, never place your hopes on any kind of deity!"

"That kind of stuff can only fool ordinary people; don't actually believe it!"

Fusu and Zhu Biao exchanged a glance, and Zhu Biao couldn't help but speak.

"Is there really no god in this world?"

Chen Mo shrugged.

"I can't say it's not true, because current technology can't prove it."

"But we can't say that there are any. At least in later generations when we encounter danger and are at the brink of survival, there are no gods or ghosts that appear."

Chen Mo looked serious.

"If that were truly the case, would the gods of our great land of China be inferior to those pathetic, crying gods of that insignificant land of Japan?"

"If that really exists, then what was that humiliating period in modern Chinese history?"

"Can those gods we worship just stand by and watch us suffer?"

"Fine, since offerings are useless and can't even protect the most basic peace, then let's not offer any more offerings!"

"As the saying goes, if praying to gods and Buddhas really worked, then you wouldn't even be able to get through the gates of a temple."

Chen Mo sneered.

"As for why some people say it works, it's naturally because if you succeed, it's because you were sincere and the gods blessed you; if you don't succeed, it's because you weren't sincere enough!"

"But whether they're sincere or not is all in their mouths, isn't it?"

Chen Mo's words silenced Zhu Biao and Fu Su once again.

The two looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

At least in their community, even the two of them dared not talk about gods casually, for fear of accidentally offending them.

However, Chen Mo's words shattered their worldviews.

The two recalled what Chen Mo had said earlier that day, and felt as if their minds had exploded, completely confused.

From the initial questions to the so-called unity of knowledge and action, then from the unity of knowledge and action to the idea that true knowledge comes from practice, and finally to the point that "no investigation, no right to speak"...

"Phew!"

Zhu Biao took a deep breath, looked at Chen Mo, and sincerely cupped his hands in greeting.

"Zhu Biao has learned a lot!"

Fusu also bowed deeply to Chen Mo.

"Fusu has learned a lot!"

Chen Mo smiled, knowing he couldn't say anything more.

Continuing this discussion will only confuse Zhu Biao and Fusu further; let's give them some time to think.

Chen Mo pondered for a moment and then gave a summary for the two of them.

"Specifically, the first step in doing something is to investigate, draw conclusions from the investigation, and then solve the problem. By solving various problems and reading, one can ultimately improve one's understanding, and finally, in the unity of knowledge and action, one can combine one's actions with one's understanding."

"Through this process of repeated interaction, a person will become stronger and stronger."

"And you'll become increasingly adept at handling all sorts of things."

At this point, Chen Mo sighed.

"It's a pity that many people make judgments without doing any investigation. For example, if they see people criticizing online, they feel bad and start criticizing too."

"As I kept cursing, I started to feel disappointed."

"But what's the truth? Nobody knows if what you're seeing is something that certain people or foreign forces deliberately let you see, and then use you as a weapon."

"Isn't this how 'profiting from human blood' came about? And there are all sorts of other things..."

"If they had investigated and verified the authenticity of a news story after seeing it, they wouldn't have started criticizing it online."

"But they just see whatever they see and believe it, without thinking or investigating, and then they start criticizing."

"You've become someone else's weapon, yet you still speak well of them."

Chen Mo shook his head.

"Some are genuinely naive or simple-minded, but others are definitely up to no good."

Zhu Biao and Fusu exchanged a glance upon hearing this.

The two men bowed and said hello.

"Brother Chen, we need some more time to process this, so we'll head back to our rooms now."

Chen Mo smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll call you when it's time to eat."

Zhu Biao and Fusu nodded and returned to their respective rooms.

Chen Mo looked at the courtyard, which had finally calmed down, and picked up his phone.

"Hello! Is this Uncle Su?"

"It's me!"

A dissatisfied voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You little brat! I'm not trying to be mean, but it's just a few walkie-talkies and cameras, why are you paying for them!"

"Giving money is one thing, but why so much? Do you think I need your money?"

"It's not a matter of whether we need it or not. My nephew asked me to help him buy it. If I don't pay him, wouldn't that be incredibly unreasonable?"

"Fine! Since you're willing, I won't force you."

A sigh came from the person on the other end of the phone.

"You're just like your dad, always the same way, never letting your old man help you."

Chen Mo smiled.

The person on the other end of the phone recalled a few more sentences and then asked.

"Speak! What do you want from me? It can't just be a thank you, can it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo didn't delay and got straight to the point.

"Can I order another batch of walkie-talkies?"

"In addition, I would like to order another batch of seeds."

"Fine! But let me make this clear first, don't give me any money!"

"I'm fucking rich right now! I don't need your little bit at all."

After hearing this, Chen Mo pondered for a moment.

"Uncle, I have a batch of gold here. I wonder if you would be willing to accept it."
