These words were like a ringing sound, going back and forth in this hall, vibrating everyone's eardrums, and also impacting their hearts. Yu Yue sighed and murmured: "Brother Mu, you never participate in those discussions about the mysterious world.
, we all thought that you were good at politics and bad at words, but we didn’t expect that you just don’t want to participate. If you participate, then you will be the number one debater in the world.”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Don't dare, don't dare. It seems that Yu Gong accepts these principles? Then Tao Gong, what do you think?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "What you said makes some sense, but it is only a minority phenomenon. It does not mean that there will be no talents among the lower class, but the possibility is too low. To put it bluntly, there is one reason, and that is education. In this world,
Books are rare, but knowledge can be found in these books. When my ancestor Kangong was a county official, he did not have much education. He only learned his skills through self-study and hard work. And, to be disrespectful, I also
It was in troubled times that he had a chance to stand out. If he had been placed in a peaceful period, he might have been just a petty official throughout his life and would not have become the world-famous governor of Jingzhou, because he relied on him to pacify the bandits all over Jingzhou at that time.
It was only after he finally defeated Su Jun's refugee army that he became famous all over the world."
"Kan Gong knew his own shortcomings, so he gave more education to his nephews. He purchased and collected a large collection of books. As our Tao family education, although it did not enable several generations of descendants to have the ability, my generation finally relied on
I learned knowledge and improved my skills through reading these books, and this is how I emerged as a famous person in the world. Maybe what I expressed just now was not too accurate. It was not about noble blood, but that our aristocratic family and nobles have this kind of family knowledge.
It is passed down from generation to generation, and those who are motivated will always learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. Isn't this why the three of us are here now to discuss the general trend of the world?"
Yu Yue nodded quickly and said: "Tao Gong said it well. Compared with blood, our family education is more important. Just like the three of us, which one has studied hard since childhood? Although I am not as good as the two of you, I have learned from my childhood.
He has never failed to do his homework, and he is not the kind of farm boy who only knows how to play and play all day long. Brother Mu, you have to admit this."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "I admit it, so this is what Jinu and I are going to do. Why can these books and knowledge only be in the hands of nobles and aristocratic families? Why do most people in the world have no access to them?
And the opportunity to learn this knowledge? Just like those farmers’ children whom you, Mr. Yu, said, do they just not want to learn and only want to play? They just don’t have the opportunity to learn. Is this the way of heaven?”
Yu Yue was speechless for a moment and turned to look at Tao Yuanming. He only heard Tao Yuanming say coldly: "It sounds really unfair, but it is helpless. Just like the three of us, because we have knowledge and know how to respond to etiquette, so
You don’t have to hoe the fields at noon, sweat dripping down the soil, you don’t have to face the loess with your back to the sky, do the miserable physical work, you don’t have to be a farmer or a hunter, running around for a living every day, isn’t this because
We are those who work hard and can govern others, but those who work hard can only govern others?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Should those who work hard and those who work hard always be like this? Whether a person works hard or hard depends on his acquired efforts or his innate luck in reincarnation? If you, Tao Gong, are not lucky,
Okay, if you don’t live with the Tao family, but live with an ordinary member of your tribe, can you say these things with peace of mind?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Such an assumption is meaningless. If you really want to struggle with this matter, then I can only say that if I was born in an ordinary lower-class family and did not know this knowledge, culture, and the rules of heaven since I was a child, I would
Maybe I can be a happy farmer or fisherman, play since childhood, farm and pay taxes when I grow up, and fight in wars. I think this is my life's destiny, and I don't need to change it. I don't need to change anything. Compared with what we are doing now for the family.
Survival, running around all my life and working hard for the country, the country, and the country, I actually want this simple happiness more, just like what I said in my poem, after being in a cage for a long time, I can return to nature!"
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "I can be sure that Mr. Tao, you never want to return to nature and become a farmer. Otherwise, why would you want to control a powerful general or commander who you do not support?
How can we run around with our own political power and country and not hesitate to be accused of treason with foreign countries?”
Tao Yuanming laughed: "Well, it's because we are educated and a noble people. We know the books and answer the courtesy. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. But we work hard. We want to serve the king at the top and save the common people at the bottom. This is like you
Like Brother Mu, why did he join the army as a nobleman, join the army, a group that we scholars have always looked down upon, wield a bow and sword, commit murders, and dye his official robe red with blood?
"
Yu Yue saw that something was not right about the atmosphere on both sides, and said quickly: "You two, you should talk about the business. This kind of useless argument can't be finished even if it lasts three days and three nights."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "I am not arguing with Tao Gong, but I am answering what he said about the way of heaven. The way of heaven he understands is different from the way of heaven that General Liu and I now agree on, because what he believes in
These laws of heaven, these aristocratic families and the world, and the ranks and rules of the nobles and clans have plunged our era into wars and disputes, and they have not recovered yet. Since the people in power at the top have become corrupt and are causing trouble in the world, then we can only start from the bottom.
Discover talents and strength to change this turbulent world. If the so-called way of heaven were changed, Yu Gong could indeed continue to be an official, but I am afraid that Tao Gong and I will never succeed. Tao Gong,
Is this the way of heaven you want?"
Tao Yuanming said coldly: "We are still nobles no matter what, no matter in troubled times or in troubled times, we have the opportunity to be recommended to become officials. We don't need to join the army. We can only stand out by being veterans and the staff of warlords. And they all support us."
Soldiers who respect themselves are not thinking about regaining the lost territory in the north and driving out the barbarians, but fighting for power and profit one by one and doing unspeakable things. I once imagined that Huan Xuan could devote himself to the country and make contributions, so I came out to assist him.
But in the end Huan Xuan just wanted to usurp the throne, so I was naturally wary of Liu Yu. There are too many people who claim to be for the sake of the world, but in fact they just want to make their own plans. Brother Mu, is it possible?
Do you just trust your brother Jinu so much and never doubt his true purpose?" ()
