Chapter 2387: A word that will be passed down through the ages
The first month of the sixth year of Taixing.
The first rain came suddenly.
Nature likes to tease humans so much. Watching humans running around in the rain, packing things, and then making a hehehe sound, raindrops are slowly falling in the sky, as if they are entering old age.
Painful prostate in middle-aged man.
As the first spring rain fell, the cultivated fields in Guanzhong gradually thawed. The cattle were organized and began to plow the land in groups to prepare for the next wave of planting.
There are also many mountains and forests around Chang'an. The animals in Lishan Mountain and Zhongnan Mountain will wander around in the surrounding area, and sometimes they will rush out in a daze. Maybe they are hungry and want to find some food in the human villages, but these
Unlucky guys often encounter opponents who are more ferocious than them. Even the rough-skinned and wild second brother cannot withstand the overwhelming number of men in Guanzhong. He can only shout "Master" and then reincarnate.
Reincarnated.
Zhang Zhang was wearing a raincoat and walking in the fields. When he passed by, the farmers in the fields would ask him kindly and even invite Zhang Zhang to sit on the head of their fields and ask him to go home and take out his clay children.
I kept some dry biscuits to entertain Zhang Zhang...
Zhang Zhang couldn't help but refuse again and again, or even scold them with a straight face, so these farmers just gave up.
The farmer's idea is very simple and direct. The benefit to Zhang Zhang is to ask Zhang Zhang...
After all, in the hearts of these farmers, Zhang Zhang is like the messenger of the Kitchen God they serve on the stove, and like the salt bearer of the God of Wind and Rain, who can tell them how to look at the weather, how to cultivate the land, and how to make better land.
Planters, how to get more harvests.
If we don’t worship such people, why should we worship those officials whose bellies are as big as those of pregnant women?
The system of Bachelor of Agriculture and Bachelor of Engineering is now relatively close to the people at the grassroots level. The farmers and women of Guanzhong Sanfu are integrated with each other. The people at the grassroots level respect these people from the bottom of their hearts and respect what these people represent.
The great Han hussar general burst into tears of gratitude.
Zhang Zhang was walking when he suddenly saw a small figure in the small thatched pavilion in front of him. He couldn't help but smile and quickened his pace. The figure in the small pavilion ran over in the drizzle and saluted Zhang Zhang respectfully.
.
During the off-season in winter, people like Zhang Zhang naturally came to the fields less often. It had been more than a month since they had seen each other. Zhang Zhang looked at the little guy and felt that the little guy seemed to have grown taller.
Just like the seedlings in the field, they grow taller every time it rains.
"Can you memorize the Li Ren chapter?" Zhang Zhang asked, "Let's memorize it and listen..."
The little guy followed Zhang Zhang and recited loudly: "The Master said, "Benevolence is the most beautiful thing. How can you know if you choose not to be benevolent?" The Master said, "The unkind person cannot stay together for a long time, nor can he enjoy happiness. The benevolent person"
He who knows and benevolent is good at benevolence. Confucius said, only benevolent people can do good to others and do evil to others..."
The drizzle gradually stopped.
Zhang Zhang walked to the pavilion and shook off the rainwater stained by his raincoat. After listening for a while, he suddenly interrupted the little guy's recitation, intercepted a sentence from the Li Ren chapter and asked, "The Master said, there is no need to worry about being without a position.
The cause of trouble is, what’s behind it?」
The little guy was stuck for a moment, then looked at Zhang Zhang's face, and his voice was obviously softer, "Is it...is it "Don't worry about what you know, you can know what you do"?"
Zhang Zhang smiled and nodded.
The little guy exhaled a breath.
"I'm not very familiar with it yet... I still need to recite it from time to time, so I can't forget it..." Zhang Zhang said, "Tell me more, what does this sentence mean?"
The little guy hesitated for a moment, "Don't worry about not having a position, but worry about whether you can stand. Well... don't worry about not being known, but pursue how to be known..."
"Hmm..." Zhang Zhang nodded slightly, "Not bad, but not entirely correct. What this sentence means is... don't worry about not having a position, worry about not having the skills to be qualified for the position. Instead of worrying that no one knows you, what should you worry about?
Learn skills that can make you known to others...』
When Zhang Zhang said this, he did not look at the little guy, but looked into the distance. It seemed that this sentence was also his own emotion. After a while, Zhang Zhang lowered his head, looked at the little guy and said: "I
I think... I may not be able to teach you anymore in the future..."
The little guy was stunned immediately, and the expression on his face seemed to be condensed. Then he knelt down directly at Zhang Zhang's feet with a thud, "Is there anything I didn't do well, sir... sir..."
"Haha, silly kid..." Zhang Zhang stretched out his hand to help the little guy up, "It's not that you did anything wrong, it's that I want to transfer him away..."
"Why? Why are you leaving? Sir, please don't leave!" The little guy still didn't understand and asked with wide eyes.
Zhang Zhang smiled and shook his head.
The apprentice next to Zhang Zhang also laughed and said: "Master is going to Hanzhong to be the county magistrate! You won't leave if you don't want to?"
"..." The little guy's tears fell down.
Zhang Zhang smiled and took the little guy's hand, "There are four seasons in a year, and the harvest is long. Is there any unchangeable principle in this world? Now the master is just the leader of one place, taking care of the crops here. In the future, the master will have to take care of a whole place."
The people of the county are growing...Don't you understand the difference?"
The little guy was stunned for a moment and seemed to understand, but he also seemed not to fully understand what Zhang Zhang meant.
Apprentice Zhang Zhang on the side smiled and said, "Silly boy, you still don't understand?"
The little guy looked at the apprentice in confusion, and then saw the apprentice secretly pointing at Zhang Zhang. After a moment, he suddenly understood and fell to the ground. His voice was so excited that his voice trembled, "Apprentice, apprentice, kowtow to the master!"
This time, Zhang Zhang didn't stop the little guy. He waited until the little guy kowtowed three times and wanted to continue kowtowing, then he reached out and pulled him up, and then took out a handwritten book from his arms, "
Master, I don’t have anything good to give you. This is a scripture I copied myself, just to give it to you..."
The little guy quickly wiped his hands on his body again and again, and then carefully took the handwritten book. Looking at the official calligraphy ink characters on the book as heavy as bricks, his body kept trembling with excitement.
The apprentice also stepped forward and handed the little guy a cloth bag, "This is the meeting gift I gave you, senior brother... Don't dislike it. It's the pen and ink I used before, and now I give it to you..."
The little guy trembled and subconsciously took it. Then he wanted to salute again, but was stopped.
"I just know that you are a child of a strong family in the village. Do you have a correct name?" Zhang Zhang asked.
Zhang Zhang asked Da Zhuang, and Da Zhuang had no objection at all to having his children worship under Zhang Zhang. He even wanted Zhang Zhang to take his son with him to Hanzhong, but it was obvious that Zhang Zhang was not suitable to take his children with him now.
When Zhang Zhang originally taught this child, he just did it casually and did not specifically want to do anything. However, during the teaching process, he found that this child was indeed hardworking and smart, and he was a good student.
After all, even in later generations, there are still some people who feel sleepy when they pick up a book.
"Master...I, my family name is Wang...my family...calls me Erzi, or, or calls me...little bastard..." The little guy lowered his head, somewhat embarrassed.
"Ah ha, ha ha ha..." Zhang Zhang raised his head and laughed a few times, "It's okay, my father used to just call me by my nickname, but now that I'm studying now, I can have a proper name... So, I am
Let me give you a name. When you get home, talk to your adults about it. If you like, then use this name..."
The little guy quickly bowed down and said, "Master, please give me a name!"
"Well... you and I got acquainted on the side of the field... If it is named after the field, it would be a bit too big. Well, why not just use the word "miao", Tianzhong Zhuanghe, born as a seedling..." Zhang Zhang
He said to the little guy, "I hope you can bear fruit one day..."
The little guy, Wang Miao, couldn't help but burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly in thanks. When he raised his head, he found that Zhang Zhang and his apprentice had already stood up and moved forward. The apprentice waved to him, "Wait until next time... um
, when Master and I have time to return to Chang'an, we will see you again... Remember to endorse..."
Wang Miao stood up quickly, then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly chased after him, panting and grabbing Zhang Zhang's clothes, "Master! Master! This... and that, bacon..."
"Haha," Zhang Zhang touched Wang Miao's head, "I'll just leave Shu Xiu at your home for the time being... I'll wait until my teacher settles down in a few years before talking... Remember, if my teacher finds you slacking off,
, If you don’t study hard, I won’t accept your efforts... Remember, you have to study hard, so that you won’t be busy all your life... Go back!"
……?(;′Д｀?)……
In Chang'an City, within the Huqi Mansion.
main hall.
Zheng Xuan sat sternly, with a strong aura.
"The words of Confucianism are not true." Fei Qian said slowly, "It does not mean that all Confucianists are useless. The great meaning of Confucianism can be passed down through the ages. The study of classics can distinguish right from wrong, know the truth, and understand benevolence and righteousness."
』
Zheng Xuan nodded slightly to express his approval.
"But... it is better to have no books than to believe in all the books. Zheng Gong might as well ask himself, in the world of the Han Dynasty, all kinds of commentaries on the scriptures, what they say and write are all said by the ancient sages, and are they all the secret messages of Confucianism?"
"It's like "You can't punish a doctor"..."
Fei Qian's voice is steady and smooth.
Although the drizzle gradually stopped, some remaining rainwater still fell on the tiled eaves. It made a rustling sound in front of the court and in the corridor, as if eavesdropping on the conversation between Fei Qian and Zheng Xuan.
"The Master said, how to repay virtue? Repay vengeance with straightness, repay kindness with virtue. However, many people today intercept the latter sentence, saying that there must be virtue, but it is unknown whether there is straightness. Why? Hometown wishes are the thieves of virtue. Officials are corrupt and corrupt.
Then he is guilty, but he is a thief of academic virtue, so what should he do?"
"The ancient texts are obscure and difficult to understand, so there are annotations..." Zheng Xuan's voice was also very calm, without any hint of fireworks. If you just listened to his tone, you would have thought that he was just chatting with Fei Qian, but Zheng Xuan's expression was serious, and he continued
The gray beard seems to express stubbornness, "Teach the disciples and use direct explanations. However, there are many stupid people in the country. It is difficult to understand the meaning of the Tao with direct explanations, and more chaos will arise. At this time, it is necessary to use comments as explanations and talk too much."
Benevolence is the only way to live up to the words of the sages."
Fei Qian suddenly smiled, looked at Zheng Xuan and asked, "Now let's ask Mr. Zheng, are most of his disciples now? Or are they from the countryside?"
Zheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, then remained silent.
A time traveler must have the structure and vision of a time traveler.
Of course, Fei Qian can also argue with Zheng Xuan about things such as Confucianism's emphasis on benevolence, which leads to the bloody castration of the people, or he can tell some inexplicable words to appear smart, but in fact, the more complex the issue, the more it must be simplified, otherwise
It will inevitably involve a lot of things, and then they will argue with each other until they are red-faced, but no real results will be achieved.
For example, does it make sense to talk about the development of the times and future changes in the education system? It will only turn the original problem into more problems, and then the building will become more and more crooked. If the debate continues endlessly, this kind of mistake will
In future generations, only novices who have just joined the company will commit this crime.
Discuss the matter as it is and get to the point.
The first thing Zheng Xuan came to discuss was to confirm Fei Qian's attitude towards Confucian classics. Fei Qian gave a direct response to this point, unambiguously affirming the role of Confucian classics, and then reached an agreement with Zheng Xuan.
The point of disagreement naturally lies in the second aspect, which is the exegesis of the scriptures.
Zheng Xuan believed that "manual free translation" was needed, while Fei Qian believed that "machine translation" would be enough. Fei Qian used "Xiang Yuan" as an example to illustrate the problems that may arise during the "manual free translation" process.
Zheng Xuan, on the other hand, felt that the locals could not understand "machine translation", which was indeed a problem. It was like some people in later generations simply "machine translated" a large number of foreign language works in order to gain a reputation to consecrate their buttocks.
, making it extremely difficult for many people to read.
Then Fei Qian stabbed Zheng Xuan's lung tube...
Because there are no so-called "countryside people" under Zheng Xuan's family!
Confucius also accepted a few, such as Zilu, who was born as a "barbarian". However, most of Confucius's disciples were not "countryside people", and there were even a few who had good family backgrounds and were very rich. They were praised by later generations for being willing to
Yan Hui is poor and can only get a cold steamed bun and a ladle of cold water. In fact, his family also has fifty acres of farmland...
In the Han Dynasty, when Zheng Xuan was teaching, the ordinary students who attended the lectures might be some "countrysiders", but those who were actually accepted as disciples were of high origin. They were either children of aristocratic families or the second generation of officials, so Zheng Xuan used the so-called
If the "countryside people" cannot understand the reason for "Zhi Jie"'s actions, then it is completely untenable.
Ordinary auditors are not even qualified to enter, let alone get direct guidance from Zheng Xuan. "Enter the hall" is not just a casual talk. If you are not qualified, you don't even have the opportunity to ask questions, so there is no need.
Which scripture annotations by Zheng Xuan can you tell? So who is reading Zheng Xuan’s annotations?
Seeing Zheng Xuan's silence, Fei Qian smiled, like a big-tailed wolf, "Zheng Gong came here this time to remind you of something... There are many annotations on scriptures in the world, and each school has its own interpretation."
, either correct or distorted, each insisting on his own words, making it difficult for scholars all over the world to distinguish the good from the bad. Now that Zheng Gong's school has existed throughout the past and present, and has a wide range of knowledge, it would be better to work with Mr. Shui Jing to correct the annotations of various schools in order to achieve straightness...
…I wonder what Mr. Zheng thinks?”
"Correct the annotations of various classics?" Zheng Xuan's gray beard couldn't help but tremble twice. Facing Fei Qian who was constantly coming up with new ideas, Zheng Xuan really wanted to say a classic line, but he was a little reluctant to part with it.
Fei Qian nodded repeatedly, "Of course, it's okay to seek a correct answer. I guess the ancient sages didn't want their writings to be used by Xiaoxiao and deceive the world."
Zheng Xuan glanced at Fei Qian slightly, and was obviously not very satisfied with Fei Qian's words of "Xiao Xiao". After all, if according to Fei Qian's previous standards, Zheng Xuan himself would also be in the so-called "Xiao Xiao" category, but Fei Qian's
This proposal really made Zheng Xuan very excited.
Annotating scriptures and poems is something that Zheng Xuan has started to do very early. Zheng Xuan made annotations for "Yi", "Poetry", "Li", etc., and through his teaching, these annotations have also contributed to future generations.
It has had quite an impact.
The reason why Fei Qian didn't go to Zheng Xuan and others to vent his feelings before publicly saying "You can't punish the doctor" is to set a hook to see if Zheng Xuan and others can be fished out. After all, Wen Wu is the first. Once there are some different opinions,
There can always be an argument, and then Zheng Xuan came, didn't he?
"If I don't allow it..." Zheng Xuan looked at Fei Qian, "Shall I let Mr. Shui Jing... take charge of this matter?"
Fei Qian smiled but didn't answer.
Even if Sima Hui doesn't do it, Fei Qian also has a third plan, which is like a road show for later generations. He will hold a large-scale Qinglong Temple road show, and then hold a few debates and so on, and he can also sell some
What kind of product naming rights are there? If not, why not put the name of your spice shop on it...
After this kind of "public opinion" result really comes out, even if Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui want to express their opinions, no one will probably listen.
Zheng Xuan suddenly regretted coming to Feiqian...
Zheng Xuan had thought that Fei Qian might have some back-up tactics before, but he didn't expect Fei Qian to be so ambitious. Before, the Xiping Stone Scripture was just about correcting the scriptures, but now he even wants to "correct" the annotations of the scriptures!
It's like scratching an itch in the right place.
What's more, Zheng Xuan also knew that if Sima Hui was really asked to come here to "correct" the scriptures, would this old guy overturn all the annotations that Zheng Xuan had worked so hard for so many years?
"I am already old..."
"It doesn't matter, why don't you recruit senior students and seize the important road first?" Fei Qian laughed and said, "It's enough to have Duke Zheng outline and lead... Duke Zheng is good at commenting on scriptures, and Mr. Shui Jing can be the chief of staff..."
Fei Qian's original plan was whoever came first, that is, whoever was encouraged first to take the lead. Who told the old fox to stay in the hole for a while and not come out?
"..." Zheng Xuan pondered for a moment, "If Mr. Shui Jing doesn't want to..."
"Does Mr. Zheng know that the captives of the Western Qiang will be sacrificed to Xu?" Fei Qian said meaningfully, "At that time, someone will go to His Majesty and inform the world that the Cai family's collection of books will be reopened, and the scholars from all over the world will be invited to the Qinglong Temple in Chang'an to correct and annotate the sutras."
!』
Zheng Xuan took a breath, a question lingered on his lips for a moment, and then disappeared.
Today, if anyone is number one in terms of collection of books, it would be Feiqian.
After all, Cai's books are now under Fei Qian's name, and I heard that most of the Dongguan Book back then was collected by Fei Qian. However, Fei Qian has never acknowledged this matter, and only expressed those books to the outside world.
They were all burned down by the Hangu Order at that time...
Therefore, if Fei Qian invites great scholars from all over the world in the name of opening these books, even if the Emperor Liu Xie wants to compete, he may not be able to win over Fei Qian. After all, Fei Qian's books are still nominally "Cai's" and belong to the Cai family.
Private books…
As for Xu County, haha, apart from the people from Yingchuan who can supplement the number of royal libraries, what else can be said about the collection of books?
Zheng Xuan looked at Fei Qian, looking left and right. Although he felt a little unhappy, he always felt that Fei Qian had a plan when he went to Luoyang to watch and transport books. If so, this kind of thinking was deep.
, if you don’t obey, what tricks might you use?
"Forget it, just follow the lord's wishes..." Zheng Xuan sighed, then touched his waist and sighed slightly, "My lord's strategic planning skills... are indeed extremely exquisite..."
Fei Qian stroked his palm and said, "Mr. Zheng is so complimentary... I wish you congratulations to Gong Zheng for your reputation being passed down through the ages, for your words and meritorious deeds..."
