The first thousand one hundred and fifty-eight chapters (4)
"He is a giant of the Za family..." Han Ying held the tea cup in his hand and asked with a smile: "I am just a humble gentleman, how dare I go to such trouble and travel thousands of miles to get here?"
In fact, in this world, Confucianism is the smallest among the hundreds of schools of thought.
Confucians never care whether you are Huang Lao or a Legalist?
As long as something is useful and beneficial, Confucians have never been afraid to make it their own.
At that time, Mr. Xunzi not only advocated a wave of Confucianism and Legalism, but also played a trick of absorbing nutrients from the thoughts of Huang and Lao.
Xunzi's theory actually blends the thoughts of Legalism, Confucianism, Huang-Lao School and even Miscellaneous School, and then explains it using Confucian theory.
As the saying goes, if you don’t accumulate steps, you can’t reach a thousand miles; if you don’t accumulate small streams, you can’t reach a river or sea.
Xunzi's thoughts are always moving forward, and his eyes are always on the future.
Han Ying himself was actually deeply influenced by Xunzi’s thoughts.
His teacher was even an authentic descendant of Xunzi.
Even today's Xunzi school cannot deny this.
However, in Han Ying's view, today's Xunzi school, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, has actually deviated from Xunzi's path.
Xunzi was the pioneer of Confucianism and a practitioner of Confucianism.
Don't stick to books, don't be limited to the Three Kings.
Look to the future and start today.
This is the true style of a Xunru disciple!
However, although Confucianism does not engage in sectarianism.
but……
Confucian scholars will do it individually.
People all over the world will also have it.
The label on the forehead is not easy to remove.
Today’s Zajia family calls itself Xin Zajia.
Based in Anton, he has devoted himself to development for several years. Today, he has three thousand disciples and hundreds of sages, and his influence has spread all over the Andong countries and Liaodong and other places.
He is a well-deserved oriental scholar.
Han Ying also quite agreed with many of the theories and ideas advocated and promoted by Zajia.
For example: Theft is born from poverty, etiquette is born from wealth. Belief and deception are based on nature, not high or low, etc.
These theories coincide with the theories he advocated in many places.
However, Za Jia and Confucianism are, after all, two carriages on a parallel line.
The highest ideal of Confucianism is always to be a king on the outside and a sage on the inside, to restore the rule of the Three Dynasties through Qi Qi Zheng, and ultimately to achieve a world of great harmony with no punishment and no taxes.
And Zajia?
From Lu Buwei to the present, its core ideas have been elaborated around "guisheng", "guigong", "chongle" and "wuben".
The Zajia School is closer to Simeng School in terms of ideology, but more similar to Mohism and Huang-Lao School in behavior.
Thinking of this, Han Ying asked tentatively: "I heard that I once made eggshells float in the air in Anton, which was amazing. I wonder if this is possible?"
The young man named Wu smiled slightly when he heard this.
There is nothing embarrassing to admit about this matter.
He said respectfully: "I dare not hide it from my lord, I have indeed done this before!"
"The method used is very simple..." He explained: "It's just to take an egg, remove the egg liquid, burn it with mugwort, and it will float on its own. It's very interesting!"
"Mechanical ornaments..." Han Ying laughed: "The hatred of Zhuangzi in his life!"
The other party replied: "Zhuangzi's words may be absurd, or too profound, and they are just talking about things, so there is nothing to be afraid of! Moreover, our Za family has always been based on cherishing life. If it can benefit the people and the world, why should we fear ghosts and gods?"
"On this day, I have been entrusted by Heaven to protect all the people, save the barren seas, and transform the world into summers!" He puffed up his chest and said fearlessly: "The anger of mere ghosts and gods, and the joy of Heaven,
Joy, the reward from heaven is like a moth to an elephant..."
Han Ying was happy after hearing this.
Can floating egg shells benefit people?
This was the first time he heard such a statement.
So he asked: "Your Excellency said that floating eggshells can benefit the people? Is there any evidence?"
Confucianism has always opposed the use of strange techniques and obscene techniques.
However, they are not opposed to the development and advancement of technology.
At least for now, there is no large-scale Confucian sect that classifies all technologies and craftsmen into the category of fancy skills and tricks.
To a certain extent, they uphold a kind of simple humanism.
At present, most Confucian scholars are very positive about new technologies and innovations in agricultural equipment, as well as methods of smelting, forging, and sowing.
There are even many people who take the lead in encouraging and advocating the use of waterwheels and various new agricultural tools.
Because Confucianism is the spokesperson of the landlord class.
They are even members of the landlord class themselves.
Therefore, as long as it is conducive to the development and prosperity of the landlords, they will do it.
At present, Confucianism is a secular and realistic school of thought.
Because they are not in power and have no power, they naturally do not have the capital and confidence to talk openly.
For today's Confucians, the grotesque techniques they object to are, for example, when an emperor wants to invent a new tool to build his own palace.
Or the emperor wanted to build a refrigerator and make something like frozen sour plum soup for himself.
And the reason why they are like this is simply because they are afraid that the emperor will mess around, spend money extravagantly, increase the burden on the people, especially them, and make them worry.
Especially the Korean School of Poetry and the Xunzi School, almost all have this attitude.
Last year, after a discussion within Taixue, in fact, the current Confucianism even said that as long as the emperor did not build a refrigerator and only drank iced sour plum soup for himself, everything else was easy to discuss.
After all, Confucians are not stupid, nor are they stupid, nor are they blind.
They will not be unable to see what is happening in front of them, nor will they be unable to understand it.
Since, many facts have proved that the world does need more craftsmen to create more valuable and practical tools for the people, and these created tools and instruments have indeed brought tangible benefits.
Benefits are like waterwheels.
Of course, no one will talk nonsense anymore.
However, Han Ying couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.
How can letting an egg shell float in the air be beneficial to people's livelihood, beneficial to the world, and beneficial to the people?
The young man surnamed Wu chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "Because it can make people fly in the future!"
Han Ying looked at each other as if he were a fool.
But it was also very shocking in my heart.
Flying!
One of mankind’s dreams!
At that time, Mo Zhai built wooden birds to spy on the enemy's cities.
Later, the public system was improved and the kite was invented.
To this day, children in the village will also make a paper kite out of paper as their most precious toy.
But the dream of flying into the sky is as far away as something that can never be touched.
Now, listening to what the other party said, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was a well-known scholar and even a world-famous scholar, Han Ying would have wanted to kick him out.
Are you kidding me?
How can people fly without wings?
But the other party smiled mysteriously and said: "In a few years, Sir, you should be able to see the equipment that can carry people to the sky..."
"This matter has been taken over by the Mo family. I can't reveal too much, but I can tell you, the principle is that heat rises!"
This young man named Wu is naturally one of the three giants of Pyongyang Academy.
Wu was smiling inwardly as he recalled the time when he accidentally did it.
At first, he just regarded it as his own entertainment and never thought about it seriously.
Until someone from the Mohist family saw this, they were very curious. After careful study, the Mohist artist made a lantern made of bamboo and paper, and then put whale wax into it.
As a result, the lantern flew into the air...
From this, it is proved that one thing is that a small candle can make a lantern fly into the air.
So……
If there is a big enough candle, can it hold up a big enough sphere?
Can people be lifted into the air?
Realize the expectations of Mohist disciples from generation to generation since Mo Zhai?
Flying dream!
However, this matter has now become a Class A top secret of the Mo family.
Even he didn't dare to tell others easily.
Only in front of a top scholar like Han Ying could he reveal something.
But we can't reveal too much.
Otherwise, the emperor's embroidered guards will come to your door at night.
This is no fun!
When Han Ying heard the name of the Mo family, he also fell silent.
Although Confucianism and Mohism have always been mortal enemies and enemies.
The grievances and hatreds between the two are even enough to write a book!
However, there are never permanent enemies in this world.
Especially in today's era where the Mohists are almost impossible to eliminate.
Even the Lu Ru faction that hates the Mohists the most, don’t they have to accept the fact that the Mohists are rising?
Otherwise, how could you still hang up the seal and leave as a protest?
Then the other disciples will probably laugh crookedly!
Not to mention, in fact, Han Ying and his Han Shi School did not care about the grievances between Mohism and Confucianism.
For the Han Shi School, instead of having a war of words with the Mohists, it is better to have a serious discussion with the Gongyang School on whether to use the Spring and Autumn Period or the Book of Songs to govern the world.
Seeing Han Ying's appearance, Wu Ban naturally knew what he should do.
He bowed respectfully and said: "Now Your Majesty would like to hold a gathering of hundreds of families from all over the world at Shiqu Pavilion. The younger generation is not talented, so I will attend the meeting as a representative of the miscellaneous families. I would like to pay homage to you, sir, and you will obey me!"
This is a topic that has been discussed within the Za family for a long time.
In this Shiqu Pavilion meeting, do the Za family want to come forward?
In the end, the result is: build the wall high and slow down to become the king.
Let Confucian and Legalist Huang Lao Mo give him a good fight first.
The Zajia family can just make the soy sauce next to it.
After all, the current Zajia family is still too fragile and weak. It is only king in Anton. After leaving Anton, it is not necessarily the boss in Liaodong.
And once we enter the mainland, the impact is minimal.
It’s simply not enough to fight to the death with other giants.
Apart from other things, the total strength of the current Zajia family may not be able to match the Lu Ru sect, which seems to be dying now.
Therefore, hiding one's stupidity and becoming a younger brother became the choice of the Za family.
But who to serve as his younger brother is debatable.
The first thing that Zajia needs to do now is to develop and strengthen itself.
Naturally, you cannot rely on forces that are too powerful.
For example, the Gongyang School, the Legalists, Huang Lao, and the Mohists.
In that case, it is very likely that Zajia Zangzhuo is hiding it.
But it may also be beaten to death by these giants and then annexed.
After years of hard work and hard work, Wu Pei and his comrades did not want to make wedding clothes for others.
Therefore, these giants are naturally not among the choices of the Zajia.
But you can’t take refuge in schools that are too weak.
For example, Simeng, Xunzi, Guliang, etc., their status may not be as high as that of Zajia.
Moreover, he could hardly protect himself, let alone protect the Za family at the Shiqu Pavilion meeting.
Therefore, there are actually not many options left.
Jinan Fugong is a very good choice. Fugong has always been neutral and does not mix in right and wrong.
But the problem is that Fugong never leaves Jinan.
And Duke Shen of the Chu Poetry School is actually pretty good, influential, famous, and has countless disciples, but...
The Chu Poetry School is too aggressive!
The Confucian scholars of the Chu School of Poetry loved most to educate the barbarians.
They had also set their sights on Anton long ago, if the Zajia family had not entered Anton first, and, just in time, the senior Han Anguo became the lieutenant and tutor of the Joseon Lord.
Otherwise, I am afraid that the development of Zajia will not be so smooth at this moment.
Even so, in the Andong area, the competition between the Zajia School and the Chu Poetry School was very fierce.
Therefore, this option naturally passes.
The last ones left are Han Ying and his Korean Poetry School.
After research, I found that this was indeed the best choice for Zajia.
The Han Poetry School seems to be the largest sect in the north after Gongyang School, and Han Zi himself is an elder highly respected by today's emperors.
But in fact, Song Zihou Xu Jiu, the boss of the Za family, is very aware of the fishiness involved.
First of all, although the Han Poetry School is the northern university school second only to Gongyang School.
But, in fact, the Han Shi School, the Xunzi School, and the Guliang School combined are not as powerful as the Gongyang School.
Secondly, today’s people like the stories and articles written by Han Ying, not the ideas and knowledge advocated by Han Ying.
The most important thing is that the Korean poetry school has no successors.
It seems that Taixue professor Ben Sheng is very powerful.
But in fact, he is both the youngest professor and the least prestigious professor among Taixue.
After all, studying requires both talent and time.
Like Jia Yi and Jia Changsha, who were only a few years old and already well-known throughout the world. How many geniuses are considered by the emperor as their advisors and assistants?
Qin had Gan Luo, and Han had Jia Yi.
Therefore, this Korean poetry school has become the best choice for the Zajia family.
This can avoid putting yourself in the spotlight, attracting fire, and causing ridicule.
It can also ensure the interests and survival of one's own school of thought.
At the same time, it can also create the illusion that the Zajia family does not actually want to be in power.
As for the facts?
"I heard that when the emperor was hiding in his residence, he once said to the late emperor: A prince who does not want to be a prince is not a good prince..." Wu Bei smiled in his heart and said: "As far as the world is concerned, the school that does not want to be in power must not be a good prince.
A good school of thought!”
"Ambition in mind, hope in the world, ideal career!"
"One day, I will tell the world openly and honestly!"
"As great men as we are, once we are born in this world, we must leave our mark!"
Han Ying, however, looked at Wu Gui, a little surprised.
Then he stood up and said, "If that's the case, it's okay to be old and decrepit!"
It is the traditional virtue of scholar-bureaucrats in the Xia Dynasty to support and support younger students.
Not to mention, the Zajia family is now a big piece of fat.
Even if his teeth are uncomfortable, he still wants to try to take a bite. Even if he can't eat it, it would be good to form a good relationship! (To be continued.)
