Over the years, Liu Chang saved as much as possible about the etiquette and laws formulated by Shusun Tong.
At the same time, when rewarding and ceasing Shangfang, he was also very low-key, mainly because he was worried that Shangfang would become a common enemy in the world. Whether it was Shangfang's specific investment or Shangfang's official title, they were all confidential. The ministers only knew that there were many Chehous in Shangfang Mansion, and there were many craftsmen who received the rewards and had a very high status. However, there was no specific concept of how many rewards they had, the number of Chehous, etc., and the Mo family did not go out much, and stayed in the mansion for research all day.
Even the guards were not sure about the specific situation inside, so naturally the people outside could not know.
However, this kind of confidentiality in identity can be relaxed a little more now.
The main reason is that the ministers are no longer available to deal with Shangfang, and Chang Liu set up a better target for them, that is Chao Cuo.
As long as Chao Cuo is still in the temple and as long as he is still the Three Dukes, even if the ministers know the rewards of the craftsmen in Shangfang Mansion, they are powerless. Of course, the specific investment must be kept confidential. If the investment is leaked, even Chao Cuo will have to deal with Shangfang together.
Under the constraints of the times, the ministers would not have thought about how many good things Shangfang could have taken out. They were afraid that they would not understand Liu Chang's huge investment in capital. In their opinion, if this investment in the SLR could be made into the second Liang Kingdom, and it would be a loss to use it for Shangfang to do research.
Today, it is the first time that the Mo family has shown their titles to everyone. The ordinary ceremonial ceremony is quite grand and the ministers cannot not know it. However, because the Shangfang Mansion is confidential, few people know the real situation. During these days, Liu Chang has also continuously reduced the cumbersome rituals and tried to simplify them as much as possible. According to Liu Chang's words, they cannot be obsessed with the surface. In such forms, the fewer the better, and they still have to spend their energy to do the serious business. As for what kind of serious business it is? Of course, it is the various rituals of the elder. The elder's own rituals have not been simplified at all, but have become larger and larger.
When the First Emperor traveled with more than 800 people, and when Emperor Gao came to Emperor Gao, there were more than 1,000 people. Now the elders are going to travel, at least 3,000 people are in a mighty way. Following him, the First Emperor and Emperor Gao are not as good as the elders.
The title of the Han Dynasty can be recognized at a glance. From their chariots and horses and their clothes, they can tell a person's identity. The clothes worn by different identities are different, and the Han Dynasty does not allow usurpation. If someone wears clothes that do not match their title, it will be a serious crime, and he will shave off his beard and hair to perform labor service.
When the Mo family arrived at the scene, the neat and gorgeous clothes could almost blind others' eyes.
There were about thirty people coming, among which the lowest rank were the Grand Secretary, and the rest were all marquis. They didn't look like marquis at all. They looked dark, rough in skin, and untreated beards, and they were messy. However, no matter how messy a person was wearing such a dress, he looked so majestic and magnificent that he dared not look down on him. The great scholar who was about to spit on Chen Tao's face just now looked at these marquis and fell into a daze.
It’s the same thing as spitting with the Mo family, but it’s the same thing as spitting with the Chehou.
The first one is prone to losing the title, while the second one is prone to losing the head.
Although Liu Chang was already trying his best to blur the division of lower-level titles among the people, high-level titles were still inviolable. This was the foundation for the Han Dynasty to maintain its rule. If he dared to spit on Chen Tao's face today, he would not see the sun tomorrow. Even if Liu Chang didn't take action, the rest of the court would teach him how to be a human being, so that he could know what the top nobles of the Han Dynasty were. In addition, Confucianism was the most abiding by this set of rules and also the guardians of this set of etiquette and law. They were the most unlikely people who could destroy this order of title.
Chen Tao was very happy. He was originally a little resistant to the Taixue. No one here looked down on him very much and always spoke ill of him.
Unexpectedly, when a great scholar came today, he would come to greet him in person.
He happily held the other party's hand, "I'm fine, are you fine?"
"I'm fine... Thank you for your concern."
Everyone's faces were bitter, just low
He answered with his head.
The Mo family also smiled and replied to the people around. The faces of the people around him changed drastically, and they hurriedly replied to the gifts. The whole scene suddenly became a little funny. Then they saw a group of people standing in the middle and constantly praying to the surroundings. The people around them returned the gifts wildly and fell into a certain deadlock. The most amazing thing was the students who arrived here early. When these students even shouted when they saw the Mo family's outfit, they said, "Good guy, is this the Mo family?"
Fu Qiubo, the leader of the Imperial Academy, was not a marquis, but just a great minister.
These people are so good that even the eldest son can’t get on the table.
The eyes of the Tai students ejaculated, staring at the gorgeous clothes. Liu Chang looked at the reactions of everyone, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the advertising campaign was very good. The Tai students came here to study, and the final purpose was to show their ambitions, become generals and ministers, and be named marquis and titles.
The Mohist configuration is enough to attract these Tai students to fall into their arms and start to engage in related research on the Mohist school.
Luo Lin, a geekist, looked at these people in a daze and asked uncertainly: "These people are all marquis?"
Liu Wu, who was standing beside him, replied: "Teacher, that's true."
"When did the Mohist family become so powerful???"
Luo Lin frowned, and he said with some concern: "How can you compete with them for **... This competition is really..."
Liu Wu saw the teacher's concerns, "Teacher, don't worry, we can't take them anyway, so it will have no effect on us whether they have titles or not."
"That's right! We don't have any disciples!"
Luo Lin suddenly reacted and smiled loudly. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry.
He was not anxious, but Huang Lao and Confucianism were a little anxious. Huang Lao did not take the Mohist school seriously, but regarded the Mohist school as a tool to disgust Confucianism. But after all, there was also academic competition between Huang Lao and Mohist school, but the Mohist school was completely unable to compete with Huang Lao. But seeing the Mohist school's current configuration, many of the people of Huang Lao could not sit still. They have always regarded Confucianism as their great enemy. What's going on with this Mohist school?
As for Confucianism, he was also full of sorrow at this moment.
They could only comfort themselves in their hearts. Now that the Mohist school has focused all its energy on Shangfang, they should not make any political claims anymore, and we will not have any trouble.
Gong Yang Shou's wine was sober, and he looked straight at the Mohists in the distance and rubbed his eyes.
"Hu Wusheng... Do you think I should quit drinking? I seem to be drinking..."
"The teacher is not drunk. The Mo family has a very high title, even higher than we think. There are twenty-five marquis...at least eight of them are Dachehou with a fief of over a thousand."
"What kind of world is it? A group of craftsmen can have such a title... I am still a doctor, so how can this behave."
Gong Yang Shou complained in a low voice.
"If the teacher eats a few sips of wine and beats a few less people, they can maintain the title equal..."
Liu Ci and Dong Zhongshu stood on both sides of Gongsun Hong respectively. Liu Ci looked disdainful, "What's the matter? Just a marquis. I ignored me when I saw this in the palace. Only Chen Tao's level is qualified to say hello to me!"
The young Dong Zhongshu narrowed his eyes and stared at the Mo families in the distance, motionless.
"Hahaha, come on!"
Liu Chang held Chen Tao's hand affectionately and led many Mo families into the middle field. He sat in the upper position. Chen Tao sat beside him, and the rest sat on both sides. Many people stood behind them, and the students on tiptoe to look at them.
"Today, Shangfang Mansion has made new contributions, and the Mo family has made great contributions! It should be rewarded!"
"Mr. Chen, I don't understand a few ideals and need you to solve my confusion."
Liu Chang said, and everyone was cheering up. This was His Majesty who was going to build momentum for the Mo family himself. Chen Tao took a deep breath and hurriedly listened carefully.
"I heard that there are nobleness and pride among different industries.
The difference between humbleness. If a businessman is like a businessman, he is not as good as a craftsman. If a craftsman is like a farmer, he is not as good as a scholar. Do you think this principle is correct?!"
Chen Tao immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this is wrong. It does not depend on the industry people are engaged in, but on the morality of the person themselves. Ethical people are noble no matter what kind of industry they are engaged in, and people with low moral character are lowly no matter what kind of industry they are engaged in... The noble and humble are not the industry, but the people who are engaged in the industry..."
It can be seen that Chen Tao is indeed not very good at this kind of question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answer question-and-answ
Everyone's eyes lit up. They dared not show up again in terms of identity, but if there was such an academic debate, they would not be panicked at all.
In this regard, your Mo family is your younger brother!
Immediately, a great scholar stood up and said, "I want to ask Mr. Chen about a truth. Mr. Chen said that there is no high or low in the industry, and there is only a gap between the morality of people. The king of Qin II met a wise blind woodcutter living in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Who should give the tribute first?"
Chen Tao widened his eyes and stammered, "This...of course, the woodcutter has to pay a visit to him first..."
Liu Chang was furious and quickly rolled up his sleeves and said, "What is this? Everyone in the world knows the cruelty and incompetence of the King of Qin II. This woodcutter should not be worshipped by him. He should spit on the face of the second emperor! Pee in his hat! Take off his clothes and go in! If there is a soldier beside him, then pretend to be worshipped by him, and then chop him to death with an axe! No one should be worshipped!"
At this moment, everyone was in an uproar.
Liu Chang suddenly looked at Fu Qiubo on the side. Fu Qiubo was stunned. This was a debate between Confucianism and Mohism. Is it a bit inappropriate to look at me?
However, after all, the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, Fu Qiubo had to stand up and look at the great scholar seriously, criticizing: "Your Majesty is right! Mencius once said that he was not to serve him because of the nobleness of the king, but to treat him according to the attitude of the king to treat his ministers. A king like the second generation was extremely harsh in treating his ministers. Everyone regarded him as a bandit. A wise king like Your Majesty, all the people in the world regard him as their parents. Isn't this the best proof? What is noble is not the identity of the king, but the morality of the king!! And Shun came out of the acres, Fu Shuo raised it among the plates, Jiao Ge raised it among the fish salt, Guan Yiwu raised it among the scholars, Sun Shuao raised it in the sea, Baili Xi raised it in the market!!"
"Are these wise people lowly because they are engaged in these industries? Their wise people know about them!"
"A king like the second generation, although he is noble in his status, he is still considered a lowly person because of his poor moral character. Emperor Gao defeated him because of this. If he is a noble person, then would the Gao Emperor who once served as the pavilion chief be a lowly person?! If you ask such a question, what do you want to do?! Do you want to implicitly mock Emperor Gao?!"
Fu Qiubo asked several questions, and the great scholar's face was scared to death and he replied tremblingly: "I dare not! I am not..."
Liu Chang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Fu Qiubo to sit beside him. When Fu Qiubo sat down, Liu Chang suddenly became full of courage.
"Mr. Chen, I heard people with knowledge say that the Mohist knowledge is meaningless and not the study of sages. Is this correct?"
For some reason, Chen Tao seemed to have become brave, and he replied loudly: "This is wrong! The Mohist knowledge is the real learning of sages! What the Mohist school is studying is the real truth in the world. This truth will not be changed due to artificial factors. It is the truth that has been hidden in the universe since the birth of heaven and earth..."
With the support of the emperor, Chen Tao's voice became much louder, no longer hesitating, and he became more and more energetic when he spoke.
Confucianism looked at Fu Qiubo with some complexity, and we were a traitor.
Confucianism has a lot to say, but they also know how capable the one sitting next to the emperor is. They have a very clear idea of how likely they will win when they get up to debate with this person.
Fortunately, Mr. Huang stood up in time
When Confucianism comes, they are afraid of Fu Qiubo, but they are not afraid.
The person who stood up was Wang Gao, a contemporary master of Huang Lao. Wang Gao said disdainfully: "I heard that the Mo family has given up studying the principles of heaven and earth, stayed in Shangfang all day, and started to act as a craftsman. Now when you talk about the principles of the world, can the principles of the world be found in Shangfang? Our Huang Lao school studies the changes of the four seasons of the world, the changes of yin and yang, and the alternation of day and night. All of them can be explained in detail. The so-called principles of heaven and earth in the Mo family are just a combination of wood and stone. What is the principles of heaven and earth?"
Chen Tao did not rely entirely on the emperor, and he answered this.
"My Mohist school was the first to study light. Light existed since the beginning of heaven and earth. We were the first to study numbers. Numbers will not change because of humans. The things we make are all applications of the principles of heaven and earth... This principle is applied to governing the country. Mr. Huang said that he could study the principles of the world, but could not apply these principles anywhere. What kind of research is this kind of research?"
The two of them started the debate, full of gunpowder.
The students sat down below and listened carefully to their debate.
Although Chen Tao has a strong ability to act, when it comes to debate, he is not Wang Gao's opponent, but the referee is his person. As the saying goes, "Chen Tao can win against Liu Chang... Fu Qiu Bo." Every time Liu Chang spoke, Fu Qiu Bo had to follow him to smooth things over. Wang Gao was not a debate with Chen Tao alone, but a debate with three people, and he could not defeat his opponent at all.
Such an academic debate lasted for more than half an hour, and finally, Chang Liu gave a reward to the Mo family.
Including many awards and bounties, the most important thing is to give more classroom quotas to the Mohist school in the Taixue School.
The Mo family was in the limelight, and Chen Tao could be considered a draw with Wang Gao.
Chen Tao and others happily chatted with the students who came to ask and answered their questions. Liu Chang and Fu Qiubo sat in the upper seat. Looking at this scene, Fu Qiubo sighed, "Your Majesty, this is what makes me a Confucian enemy."
"What are you afraid of? If someone dares to say anything to you, come to me and I must cook him!"
Liu Chang said this sentence very loudly so that everyone around him could hear it.
Fu Qiubo chuckled, "No need to be like this.
Liu An, who had been listening to the debate in the distance, shook his head slightly at this moment. Liu Bo stood behind his brother and said excitedly: "My father is really knowledgeable! He said so many things that he said cannot refute!"
"Fuck! Is that my father has knowledge?"
"If you let Mr. Fuqiu sit farther, he may not be able to understand what those people are asking..."
Liu Bo asked curiously: "Brother, why don't you question the Mo family?"
"Aren't you Mr. Huang?
Liu An said confidently: "Huang Lao is the foundation of all schools. All schools come from Huang Lao. It is a good thing that the Mo family is strong, the better. Huang Lao should not stop him, but should help him... Wang Gao and others are short-sighted, but I am not like this."
"Every sects are from Mr. Huang? I have never heard of this..."
Liu An grinned, "It's okay, you'll be able to hear it soon."
"Come, come back home!!
Liu An sat proudly in the carriage and returned to the mansion surrounded by the servants. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he called all his guests over.
"Today, I have some ideas... I want to write an article about the great principles between heaven and earth, the humble identity... and the practical application of the great principles. Everyone should work together. Once this article is released, it can make up for another shortcomings of Mr. Huang! We should encourage you with you!!!"
