Chapter 165 Shennong Temple and the old man sweeping the floor
The Taiping Taoists came very quickly and left even faster. Many people also learned about the Taiping Taoist arrival. After they arrived, they were not in a hurry to complete the task and verify their strength, but first waited to see the Taiping Taoist results.
how.
What if Jiang Hua doesn’t agree again?
In a restaurant at a port on Dongning Island, Wu Qi, who had just arrived here, heard the news. At this moment, Wu Qi was sitting by the window on the third floor. Opposite him was a friend he met on the road. This friend
His background is not that good either, he is a commoner like himself.
This friend used to be a county official in Peixian County and has already reached the position of county magistrate. He is very powerful and he just wants to be a county magistrate. Of course the county magistrate is willing.
With such a Taoist priest sitting in the county as the county magistrate, how could the nobles in the county dare to stab him? It didn't take long for the entire Peixian County to be in chaos.
After the Great Rebellion, this friend did not go anywhere. He stayed in Pei County every day to study, cultivate his character, think about the future, think about the world, and make friends.
It's just that after the order for help was issued this time, he no longer continued to be the county magistrate, but came to Dongning Island. The reason why he came to Dongning Island first and then to Yancheng was to observe the construction of Dongning Island.
In this way, even if Jiang Hua shouts loudly, in fact he is a mess, and he is just a strong talker, then so many of his ideas will be wasted.
First make an actual inspection to see the quality of Jiang Hua before making a decision.
This is also the unanimous choice of many Taoist priests. Wu Qi got acquainted with this friend on the way. When he asked, he found out that they were all coming to Dongning Island for observation, so they went together.
There were five kilograms of braised pork in front of them. They didn't know what kind of meat it was, but it was just meat. There was also a large bowl of peanuts and a small bottle of rice wine. Wu Qi and his friends both had a big bowl in front of them.
, which has been filled with rice wine.
The two of them drank peanuts and rice wine and discussed the hottest topics today.
"Brother He, who do you think leaked the mission of Taiping Taoist?"
My friend smiled warmly: "Brother Qi came to test me again."
"I can only say that it is possible. It may be the news spread by Taiping Taoist himself: Taiping Taoist seems to be very confident, full of confidence in his own strength, and is not worried about the Wang family of the Qing clan knowing it in advance."
"Even the Wang family of the Qing clan has made preparations in advance, which can save him a lot of time. The Wang family's masters and backgrounds are gathered together, so he can solve it at once. When all the Wang family's masters are solved, then the entire Chao Kingdom
The overall environment of the six counties in the north will definitely be greatly improved."
There are also six counties to the north of Chaohe River. One of them is in the hands of the Wang family of the Qing clan. It is a large county, one county surpasses the other three counties. There are also three counties in the hands of the pioneering nobles, and only two counties belong to
monarch.
Among these six counties, the Wang family is the sky!
The words of the Wang family are more effective than the words of the monarch. This means that the monarch is too far away and Wang family is too close.
"On the other hand, after the news spreads, when Taiping Taoist returns, there will be no fear that the prefect will not keep his promise."
"However, I don't think this is like the behavior of Taiping Taoist. Considering his past experience, it is more like one of his younger brothers was worried that the prefect would not keep his promise in the future, so he spread the news privately."
"Another possibility is that the Taishou Mansion took the initiative to publicize and build momentum for it after obtaining the consent of Taoist Taiping."
"Then when Taiping Daoist returns, he will openly grant him a county, and at the same time make his requirements clear, and then record the above content in the official newspaper and publish it to the world. By then, this will be a legend that has been passed down through the ages.
A good story and a classic."
"There are two possibilities, but I personally prefer the latter."
Hearing this, Wu Qi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter which one you prefer, let's go to the island first. Brother He, where do you think the first stop should be?"
The friend drank a big sip of rice wine, moistened his throat, and slowly ate peanuts, and then said: "I think the first stop is to go to Shennong Temple. I heard that Jiang's predecessor Shi was guarding there.
Hundreds of thousands of improved varieties have been collected there, and I heard that the entire Dongning Island planted this year are the improved varieties that were newly cultivated last year."
"First go to Shennong Temple to see these fine seeds, and then go to a village to see the specific lives of the people at the bottom."
When it came to Shennong Temple, Wu Qi also felt a little longing and curious: "What do you think this prefect is thinking?"
"Selecting the world's best seeds and constantly breeding them to select the best seeds have been done by some people before, but it has not been done on a large scale or in a systematic way. There is no special magic to select the best seeds, and few people specialize in magic.
To promote the production of common improved seeds.”
"Obviously these two methods are not very difficult, but why has no one thought of them before?"
Is horseshoes difficult?
Not big!
Is it effective?
Everyone who has used it says it’s good!
Is it difficult to get a bull nose ring?
Not big!
Is it effective?
Everyone who has used it says it’s good!
Are Shennong's Hand and Jumang Chunshui difficult?
It’s actually not that big!
"So, isn't this the reason why we all came to Dongning Island?" The friend laughed directly.
"Many people think that we are here to ask for help, but in fact we have been very curious about Dongning Island for a long time."
"Just like this Shennong Temple, there are also two spells, Shennong's Hand and Jumang Spring Water. They are not difficult. Any Taoist priest can study similar spells as long as he is willing to spend time to study. But in the past
At that time, which Taoist priest would care about such small details?"
"At that time, Taoist priests were busy going to small vassal states to serve as governors, ministers, or officials."
"There are also some Taoist priests who are busy making achievements and creating Taoism."
"At that time, the Taoist priests were busy every day, busy with all kinds of things, so naturally they couldn't see such small things at the bottom."
"It's just that they never thought that such a trivial matter would contain destiny!"
"For the sake of the destiny, the great vassal states also followed suit and began to build their own Shennong temples, and also began to cultivate fine seeds, hoping to obtain the destiny."
"There are also journals in Yancheng. Although only yellow-level journals are published to the outside world, and most of the time they only have general ideas and no specific details, but they are enough to inspire people. I am coming here this time and plan to give out all the xuan-level journals.
Take a look."
"right!"
The two of them quickly finished the braised pork and peanuts, drank a ounce of rice wine, and went straight on their way.
The two of them happily stepped into the Shennong Temple, but as soon as they entered, they felt bad.
After only a moment, the two people left uncomfortably.
After walking a long way, Wu Qi wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead: "As for that? He stared at me from the moment he entered, and kept staring at me, as if I was some kind of dangerous person. There are layers of people in this Shennong Temple.
There are more than one layer of formations and forbidden magic barriers, so what’s the point?”
The friend shook his head directly: "Of course, although every county has a forbidden magic barrier, and although there are more than one level of formations in Shennong Temple, these formations can only stop the doctor, but they can suppress the doctor.
To the level of the Chinese people, but for the minister, the power of these formations is still a little weak."
"Moreover, this is the Shennong Temple, which houses hundreds of thousands of fine varieties. Although these fine varieties all have shortcomings of one kind or another, this is the foundation. Without the foundation, how can there be sublimation? The foundation is solid.
Only in the future can we go further.”
"Although it looks inconspicuous, it is the foundation of a tall building."
"In a situation like this, it would be understandable if there are some real seniors staying here."
"Of course it is understandable. Many seniors did not live a good life when they were young. Now that we finally see hope, it is only appropriate to have real seniors sitting here."
"Even if you tell me that the Three Saints have silently dispatched their incarnations to guard this Shennong Temple, I will believe it!"
Having said this, Wu Qi couldn't help but sigh.
"Ever since we approached the Shennong Temple, this senior has been staring at us, especially when we were suppressed by the formation barrier, and a powerful senior was staring at me without concealment. At that time, I felt
I am like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, like pork on the chopping board, destined to be unable to turn over. This feeling is really terrible."
My friend also nodded, understanding, but it was really uncomfortable.
Watching the two people slowly leaving, an old man who was sweeping the floor lowered his head and continued to sweep his own floor. This old man was injured when he was young, and now he can't do heavy work, so he became a sweeper.
Every day, some areas of the Shennong Temple are swept and cleaned. Everyone thinks that the old man is an ordinary person.
Everyone doesn't know the name of this old man, but they just know that he likes to play Go. At first glance, he seems to be an old man with stories. However, there are too many people with stories on Dongning Island nowadays, and no one wants to get to the bottom of it.
The uncle was sweeping the floor, while Wu Qi and his friends were going to a certain village. They planned to have a good meal there and observe the specific conditions of the village. You can know autumn when you see a fallen leaf. From this village, you can roughly know
What is Yancheng like today?
At the same time, the second guest who showed his identity and directly submitted a greeting card also arrived.
This time, Jiang Hua received him in the lobby. The etiquette was the same as last time. A small table was set up. Jiang Hua and the guest sat opposite each other, but this time the person accompanying him was changed from Taoist Changkong to Jun Chengyu.
Lingquan is brewing Lingcha, and the tea leaves are flying up and down under the wash of the water. The faint fragrance of tea fills the entire small table. Smelling the fragrance of tea, the spirit is much uplifted. After taking a light sip, the guest tidied his clothes.
, cupping his fists at Jiang Hua and saying, "Confucian scholar Wang Jujun has seen the prefect."
Wang Jujun!
Jiang Hua had heard of this man, and it was said that he, like Kong Sheng, was a person who highly respected Zhou rites.
The difference is that Confucius once governed the State of Lu when he was young. Although later generations of Confucian scholars praised this period of history, saying that the State of Lu achieved great governance at that time, did not pick up lost things on the road, and did not close the house at night. It suddenly reached the legendary level.
A scene that only existed during the reign of the ancient Holy Emperor.
But if you think about it, you will know how much is true and how false about not picking up lost items on the road and not closing your door at night.
This life is no exception. In this life, Confucius also failed in presiding over reforms after he became the Sikou of the State of Lu.
It's just that Kong Sheng in this life was very capable of fighting. When the nobles expelled Kong Sheng, they were not as rude as in history. Instead, they sent people to communicate with Kong Sheng well, and finally drove him away harmoniously.
Although today's Confucius still admires Zhou Rites very much, he also knows that there is no room for Zhou Rites in today's world. The experience of this life has made Confucius understand a path: times have changed, and the era of Zhou Rites has passed.
Yes, Zhou Li is already behind the times!
This truth made Confucius very painful. Therefore, after Confucius returned to Qufu, he did not continue to be in power. Instead, he stayed away from politics and established an academy. He devoted himself to teaching and educating people and cultivated a large number of disciples.
And Wang Jujun is one of the new disciples that Confucius has accepted over the years. There are still many disciples of Confucius. Almost every year, Confucius will accept disciples, but most of the disciples cannot become Xiantian or the first generation of monarchs, and then they will
Dead of old age.
Most of the disciples he took in ten thousand years ago are already dead of old age now.
Every year when he saw outstanding young people, Kong Sheng would encourage them to study hard and study hard, and sometimes he would lend them his reading notes to encourage them.
Therefore, even today, being a disciple of Saint Confucius is not a very valuable title: there are too many disciples of Saint Confucius!
Wang Jujun is a very young disciple with great potential. The most important thing is that he is stubborn enough that many of his fellow disciples have nothing to say or are too lazy to pay attention to him.
He believed that the Zhou rites were the most important principles in the world. He believed that the reason why the Zhou rites could not be realized in today's world was mainly because people's hearts were broken, mainly the officials and nobles. As long as they were educated well and educated with heart,
, we will definitely be able to realize the Zhou rites, and we will definitely be able to realize the world of great harmony that Confucius dreamed of!
At first, others thought that Wang Jujun did this deliberately to attract the attention of the master.
A young man can attract the attention of a master through exaggerated words, and then the master can give him some reading notes, which will benefit him endlessly.
A somewhat clever young man.
But later, the students at Qufu Academy discovered that this guy was serious, and he thought so from the bottom of his heart!
He even often discussed with Confucius how to implement the Zhou rites.
At this time, even the great nobles began to stay away from him.
What age have you been, and you still think Zhou Li is the truth? There is probably something wrong with your brain. You have been in contact with him too much. What if you are infected by this fool?
However, slowly, some people began to support Wang Jujun.
There are some people who really want to realize Zhou Li. There are relatively few such people. They are basically remnants of the previous era, but they are very rich.
Some people want to use Wang Jujun's help to disrupt Qufu and confuse their thoughts.
Recalling this information, Jiang Hua also bowed his hand to Wang Jujun: "Jiang Hua, the prefect of Yancheng, has met Mr. Wang."
