"You already have the answer in your mind, don't you? For the people, food is undoubtedly more important, because it is the basis for their survival. They must first solve the problem of food and clothing, and then they will think about other things."

"Whether it is Confucianism that you studied or the theories of other schools of thought, to them they are not as good as this thousand kilograms of grain produced per acre, but it is different to you."

Su Qingyun's words made Fusu feel confused.

"Please ask the National Master for advice!"

Fusu bowed respectfully to Su Qingyun.

"You are the king's eldest son. The food and clothing issues that ordinary people need to worry about are not a problem at all for you, so these hundreds of schools of thought are very different for you."

"I heard that you asked the king to learn Confucianism and benevolence and righteousness so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. So the king asked the great scholar Chun Yuyue to teach you, but benevolence and righteousness alone are not enough. Do you think if you had

If the Qin Dynasty adopted Confucian policies of benevolence and righteousness instead of the Legalist policies of the Shang monarchs, would the Qin Dynasty be what it is today?"

Su Qingyun directly asked a very pointed question.

Shang Jun's reforms were the fundamental reason why Qin could become the most powerful country among the Seven Kingdoms. Fusu naturally knew this very well. It could be that from the time of Qin Xiaogong, all the kings of Qin had extremely high regard for Legalist thought.

Coincidentally, the kings of the seven kingdoms seemed to respect Legalism more than Confucianism.

"Does the Imperial Master want to say that Fu Su should not learn Confucian benevolence and righteousness but should learn Legalist thought?"

Fusu was a little shaken in his heart, but he did not think that the Confucian morality of benevolence, righteousness, and morality was wrong. On the contrary, it was very correct. If everyone in the world practiced benevolence, righteousness, and morality, the people of the world would definitely be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

Facing Fusu's question, Su Qingyun shook his head.

"No, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Confucian benevolence and righteousness. Of course you can learn it, but you have to know how to extract its essence and get rid of its dross. Likewise, you can't just learn Confucianism. Hundreds of schools of thought must be involved.

, only by understanding them all can you know which ones are more suitable for governing the country."

"Why do the kings of the seven kingdoms prefer to use the Legalist style? It is because it is more suitable. If one day it is no longer suitable, they will not hesitate to replace it."

Su Qingyun's words shocked Fusu. He took the essence and discarded the dross. He had never thought about what was the essence and what was the dross in Confucianism. He fully accepted the things that were pure in Yue religion.

He just thought that these things were beneficial to the people, so he wanted to learn them. He never thought that there was anything in them that was not beneficial to the people.

"Does the Imperial Master think that there are things worth learning from Confucianism, but there are also things that are wrong?"

"This is natural. There is a saying in the Analects of Confucius: When three people walk, there must be a teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. Even Confucius believed that he had shortcomings and needed to learn from others.

Strengths, why do you think Confucianism is correct?"

Fusu suddenly felt a little ashamed when he heard that Su Qingyun actually quoted words from the Analects of Confucius to warn him.

"As the Imperial Master said, Fusu has been taught!"

"You have to remember that you study Confucianism in order to use it, not to accept it, let alone to be educated by it."

Su Qingyun nodded and gave him a few words of encouragement. He hoped that Fusu really understood.

"You will stay here for the next few days, General Wang Jian. I hope you can teach Mr. Fusu some military matters. It is best to let Fusu know why Great Qin has become the strongest country among the seven kingdoms."

At this time, Su Qingyun suddenly mentioned Wang Jian who was standing aside eating melon.

"That's no problem, I will train him well."

Wang Jian read something from Su Qingyun's eyes. He wanted Fusu to understand that sometimes benevolence and righteousness have no effect at all, and may even harm him.

Although he rarely had contact with Fusu, Fusu gave him the feeling that he was too simple and kind, too benevolent and righteous, but not domineering enough, and was completely incomparable to Ying Zheng.

Of course, now that Fusu is still young, Wang Jian will not be so strict. Of course, he cannot train Fusu like his own subordinates.

After all, this is Ying Zheng's eldest son, and Ying Zheng has a certain intention in letting him learn Confucianism. They can help Su correct his shortcomings, but they must also pay attention to a certain degree.

Su Qingyun handed Fusu to Wang Jian, and then went to call Sikong Qianluo and others back. He didn't have time to wait here. The plan to deal with Lu Buwei would be launched soon, and he had to go back to do it.

Get ready.

Sikong Qianluo reluctantly put down the mechanism box in his hand and sighed slightly.

“I can only play again next time.”

Su Qingyun could only shake his head helplessly.

Not long after the few people returned to Tianqi Pavilion to rest, Su Qingyun suddenly received news from his disciple that someone from the Yin Yang family came to visit.

After seeing the visitor, Su Qingyun was still a little confused.

The person who came was not Yan Fei, but the Moon God.

As one of the two guardians of the Yin Yang family, Yueshen is very powerful and her status is only lower than Donghuang Taiyi and Yanfei.

She was wearing a sea-blue dress, and her eyes were covered with a sky-blue gauze, so she couldn't see clearly. She looked quite mysterious indeed.

Behind her was a woman dressed in red. The woman's hands were as red as flames and showed strange silver patterns. Her nails were as black as ink, which was extremely strange.

In Su Qingyun's impression, only Da Siming of the Yin Yang family dressed like this.

"Lord Su! On behalf of Lord Dong Huang, I am here to invite you to discuss in detail the cooperation between the Yin Yang Family, Tian Sect and Tian Wai Tian."

Moon God immediately expressed his intention to come.

"Oh? Donghuang Taiyi also came to Xianyang?"

"Lord Donghuang is visiting Tianzong as a guest at the moment."

Of course Donghuang Taiyi would not come to him directly. Compared to Su Qingyun, Donghuang Taiyi would rather go to Bei Mingzi.

Moreover, this cooperation is not only a cooperation between the Yin Yang Family and Tian Wai Tian, ​​but also a cooperation with Tian Zong.

This situation has not occurred for hundreds of years.

After all, the Yin-Yang family is separated from the Taoist family. The two sides have very different ideas. No one likes the other, so there are naturally few opportunities for cooperation. It is good to avoid fighting.

Now if it weren't for Su Qingyun, the Yin Yang family would not actually find Bei Mingzi and want to use his relationship to cooperate with Tianzong and Tianwaitian.

It can be said that Su Qingyun's variable gave Donghuang a real headache.

Even now, he still regrets that he didn't take action to bring him back in person, and ended up taking advantage of Bei Mingzi.
