Chapter 714 Reading for The Rise of Yanhan
"Everyone please."
Under the leadership of Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping, Liu Cheng, Li Yang, and Zhang Min walked along the corridor and entered the backyard.
The backyard is different from the front yard. There are many officials and guards in the front yard. There are also many guards in the backyard, but there are also more female relatives.
Liu Cheng, Li Yang, and Zhang Min were all gentlemen. They quickly followed the two people in front of them with their eyes slightly lowered and their eyes slightly lowered.
The three of them were all a little excited.
They have never met Wu Nian, and they know that Wu Nian has rarely seen outsiders in these years. Speaking of it, Wu Nian's daily life is comparable to that of the Taojun Emperor.
Live in a deep palace (house) and entrust important matters to high officials.
However, the results produced by the two people are completely opposite, which is strange.
Corrupt officials were rampant in the Chu State, and most of the military generals were just those who were useless.
The water in General Fuhan's Mansion in Liaodong is not absolutely clear, but it is very clear.
This general who assisted the Han Dynasty is truly a legend.
Not long after, the three of them, led by Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping, entered Nuange and met the legendary General Fu Han.
"General." Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping calmly bowed their hands to Wu Nian.
The three of them were relatively calm and bowed to Wu Nian, calling him "General."
"No courtesy. Sit down." Wu young man nodded lightly. He didn't have the ferocity of a military general. He looked like a strong and powerful nobleman. He raised his hand and asked everyone to sit down, and then ordered the maid next to him to go down and make a drink.
Tea.
Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping were very calm, but the three of them only sat halfway down.
The three of them all respected Wu Nian, and they were not targeting Wu Nian. They thought it was the villains around Wu Nian who were causing trouble, so they came to "Qingjun's side".
Moreover, Wu Nian does have a strong aura and occupies a completely dominant position.
Wu Nian didn't speak, and they didn't dare to speak. Then Wu Nian spoke first and got to know the three of them.
After a while, the maid brought tea cups. Wu Nian drank tea with everyone.
The three people frowned slightly, this tea is not very good.
Wu Nian raised his head and said with a smile: "You haven't drank this tea, have you? This is the wild mountain tea from my hometown. I heard that I like this, and my fellow villagers will have some sent to me every year."
It is difficult to conceal the temperament of a person standing on the stage.
Wu Nian is a nostalgic person, which is not a secret in Liaodong. Wu Nian and Li Yong, Tieniu, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and others have known each other since they were young.
Although these people are all talented people, after becoming wealthy, they are willing to learn, and they have really become talented. Li Yong is one of the three senior officials of Sima, and he does things well and does not make any mistakes.
Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng leads the troops diligently, and Iron Niu is outstanding in martial arts.
Li Yong is irreplaceable. But Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and Tieniu are not many people in Liaodong, but they are also quite a lot.
But no one can shake their position.
Wu Nian was brave and good at fighting, took the lead, and was able to win battles. He was able to entrust state affairs to Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, and Wang Youxiao.
Being able to share wealth and honor with Li Yong, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Tieniu and others is nostalgic.
Wu Nian was cruel to others but generous and kind to others at home.
He is really charming.
"The general has a deep love for his old sword, and I admire it." Li Yang took a deep breath, put down the tea cup, and said seriously.
"It's just a cup of tea. Sir, you are being serious." Wu Nian waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Everyone, I think you are impatient, so let's get down to business. I know that the scholars are talking about it, saying that there is a villain around me who gave me bad ideas. That's why I gave the order to do these things. I can do it now
Let me tell you clearly. I, Wu Nian, have the right idea. If someone stops me from doing something I want to do, I will do it. If I don’t want to do something, even if someone asks me to do it, I won’t do it.”
"The official education matter is my own idea."
"You should believe me."
After a pause, Wu Nian said with a smile. His attitude was still calm, but his tone was slightly arrogant and decisive.
A man is a real man, doing things for himself and others for them.
I, Wu Nian, don't know how to use my subordinates to block the gun, this is what I did.
This is really beyond the expectations of Liu Cheng, Li Yang, and Zhang Min. If this matter is a bad idea given by a villain, it will be easy to handle.
But this matter turned out to be Wu Nian's own idea.
This is not easy to handle.
As for whether you believe Wu Nian or not.
That's even simpler.
Putting aside Wu Nian's prestige and reputation, just looking at Wu Nian's tone and demeanor, Li Yang and Zhang Min, two well-informed Confucian scholars, knew that this was true.
"Why did the general do this?" The three of them looked at each other and pondered in their hearts for a long time before Li Yang raised his hands and said.
"I think Confucianism is good, but it lacks something. Well, how should I put it? It's a bit empty."
"Moreover, as time changes and the current situation changes, the classics of the Spring and Autumn Period may not be suitable for today."
"One more thing. Confucian classics were written in classical Chinese. Bamboo slips were expensive at that time, so people chewed on the words. This was a disaster for future generations. Based on the classics left by saints and sages, one sentence can have countless interpretations."
"A smart person can spend his whole life unable to understand the classics. The so-called imperial examination is to extract a paragraph or a few words from these classics to make questions."
"After high school, scholars may not even understand the price of food, rice, oil and salt. What's the point of this?"
Wu Nian shook his head and said.
Li Yang, Liu Cheng, and Zhang Min frowned together. Wu Nian was right, this is the situation of scholars today.
I have spent my whole life and exhausted my energy wandering around in these classics.
It is said that heroes have interpreted poetry since ancient times.
Although the general was born in the military and is a military commander, he sees things very clearly.
"The general is right. But the classics teach scholars how to behave in the world and how to govern the world. If the family is in order, the country will be in order and the world will be peaceful."
Li Yang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"I don't deny this. Confucian classics have established the backbone of scholars. I have also discussed this aspect with Mr. Liu. For example, the world in Chu State is very chaotic now, but there are always good officials. For example, the former Governor of Liaodong
Wu Jing, and all of you. Some people are struggling to move forward in this dark world, trying to change something."
"There are people who take care of themselves and do not join in with corrupt officials."
"I don't believe in ghosts and gods. But I don't deny that the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism has established the spiritual world and morality of our Han people."
"But morality cannot be eaten for food. I heard that some scholars were transferred to local governments after high school. They didn't understand anything, and they were ganged up by local officials and were ignored."
"There are also scholars who don't understand anything. They hire Shaoxing masters to take care of the affairs within the yamen."
"What is the use of these scholars? The law can handle cases. The history books can use history as a mirror to know the rise and fall. The arithmetic can exercise the intelligence and understand the account books. Isn't this great?"
"Why don't you learn?"
"Reading. Don't read to death. A scholar cannot be a waste, but should be a useful scholar."
"I have a message for you, and you will convey it to the scholars who have come to Jiang County specifically for this matter."
"People who truly have ideals and ambitions should [read for the rise of the Yanhan]."
"One more sentence. Civil servants are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death. Why worry that Yan Han will not prosper?"
"I founded the Imperial College and the Imperial College. I did not imitate the State of Chu. Instead, I had my own ideals."
"Finally, my attitude is also very tough."
