Chapter 225 The Eastern School of the Wise Men

Three major events have happened in Zhao State recently.

The first major event was naturally Ma Fujun's wedding. In these years, the Zhao people had almost no time worth celebrating. Even when they defeated Yan and Qin, it was difficult for them to laugh, because

Some of their family members died on the battlefield, and their stomachs were still hungry. But this time it was different. Although Wei Wuji led his troops on the expedition, there were still some casualties.

However, the families of these soldiers who died in other countries were all rewarded by Wei Wuji. Wei Wuji, like Zhao Kuo, distributed the rewards given to him by King Zhao to these people. Perhaps, this was what he gave to Zhao Kuo.

Gifts, and although Zhao's reform was not to say how successful it was, after having a complete grassroots system, at least there would be no random collection of taxes, seizure of farm cattle, etc. The duties of the officials are closely linked,

There is also a man in horse clothes who is looking at him eagerly.

This year, the people of Zhao State finally had enough to eat, the King of Zhao did not launch corvees, and taxes were reduced a lot. It happened to catch up with Ma Fujun's wedding, and the people of Yanmen, who were far away in the clouds, also came to the country for the wedding.

Ma Fujun cheered and congratulated him on his wedding. Zhao Kuo himself did not expect that his wedding would actually become a festival for Zhao State, with the whole country rejoicing. This was a treatment that King Zhao had never enjoyed.

Zhao people were very happy. Every household came out, talked about Ma Fujun, sang and danced spontaneously. Even if they couldn't rush to Ma Fu, they would use their own way to celebrate Ma Fujun? And the local nobles and officials, of course, didn't

Would they miss this opportunity to "make friends" with Ma Fujun? They organized the people and brought out corn, cattle and sheep to reward the people and allow them to celebrate. Some nobles even organized entertainment activities such as football matches.

Zhao Ren has not been so happy for a long time.

And the second thing? Naturally, Li Mu defeated the Hu people. Perhaps this incident did not have much impact on the people of Handan and Daijun? But for the people of the frontier and even the nobles at home,

This is a huge surprise. The Hu people have always been the enemy of Zhao State? Zhao State tried every means to resist them. Who would have thought? Li Mu wiped out nearly 100,000 Hu people in one battle.

The number of Hu people is not large, and the young and strong are even rarer? They may not be able to recover from the loss of 100,000 people in ten years.

"One hundred thousand people? Li Mu really killed one hundred thousand barbarians?" King Zhao's eyes widened and he asked again. The messenger nodded helplessly and told King Zhao the details of the war.

, King Zhao suddenly let out a weird laugh, clapped his hands and shouted, jumped up suddenly, and shouted: "Here comes someone! Send someone to meet General Li Mu, no, to meet Mr. Wu An, who wants to general."

Wu'an City bestowed upon General Li Mu!"

"Qin has Bai Qi, and I have Li Mu!"

King Zhao laughed so hard that he lost his composure. The envoy had to remind him that Wu'an City was Zhao Kuo's food town. King Zhao shook his head. Ma Fujun had so many food towns, so what if he gave a piece of it to General Li Mu? So, Li Mu

He became Lord Wu'an of Zhao State... However, Lord Wu'an of Zhao State was still chasing the enemy outside the fortress and had no way to come back. King Zhao hurriedly sent all his rewards to Yunzhong. This time, the reward was second only to

Reward to Lord Mafu and Lord Xinling.

When King Zhao knew that Li Mu was much younger than Ma Fujun, and that Li Mu had only lost 16,000 people in this battle, he almost died laughing. King Zhao recovered and went to find Ma Fujun.

He wanted to discuss this matter, but his closest confidant, Zheng Anping, dissuaded him. Ma Fujun was newly married, so it would not be a good thing to disturb him at this time. King Zhao could only express his excitement to Zheng Anping.

"Previously, Lord Wu An could not defend himself and allowed the Hu people to plunder him. I was very angry and wanted to punish him. Lord Ma Fu persuaded me: He asked me, is Bai Qi more terrifying or the Hu people?"

"I told him: Of course it's Bai Qi."

"He said: When Li Mu followed me to attack Bai Qi, he was not afraid. How could he be afraid of the barbarians now? This must be his strategy."

King Zhao shook his head and said with emotion: "I thought Lord Ma Fu was deliberately favoring Lord Wu An at first, but today I found out that Lord Ma Fu has already seen how extraordinary Lord Wu An is!" King Zhao laughed again, and his laughter was a bit scary.

, he murmured: "Mr. Ma Fu...Jun Xinling...Jun Xinping...I hope you all...Jun Wu An..." He laughed again, clapped his hands, and said: "I want to let Mr. Wu An

What do you think about being the real person?"

Zheng Anping was startled. He nodded and said, "Of course Mr. Wu An should be entrusted with important tasks, but Mr. Wu An is too young and Yu Qing has no fault. If he were to replace him rashly... I'm afraid

..."

King Zhao then remembered Yu Qing and just nodded and said, "You are right."

The third thing, of course, was that the King of Qin made Zhao Kuo King Wu Chengjun. The prime minister of one country was worshiped as the prime minister of another country. This kind of thing happened. But the king of a country was given a city by the enemy.

, this seemed to be unprecedented and rare. The Zhao people were a little angry. In their opinion, this was of course the Qin people who were jealous of their Ma Fujun and wanted to take Ma Fujun away from them.

In these days, there have been rumors that Ma Fujun has a close relationship with the Qin State. However, no Zhao people are willing to believe it. Even the King of Zhao only regarded this matter as a divorce plan for the Marquis of Ying. In Fan Juduo's case,

After using the alienation tactic for the first time, King Zhao's immunity to the alienation tactic also improved. Of course, Ma Fujun did not accept the reward from the Qin people, nor did he go to Qin to take over his own food.

The envoy of King Qin said: King Qin heard that Lord Mafu liked to eat peaches, so he planted peach trees in the mountain where Lord Mafu's food was located, and renamed it Taoshan. He hoped that one day he could greet Lord Mafu in this peach forest and talk about governing the country.

principle.

Qin's actions made the kings of all countries think deeply. Not long after, the envoys from South Korea also arrived in Mafu. The envoys from South Korea brought the blessings of the King of Han and prepared to transfer several counties that bordered Qin.

All of them were granted to Mafu Jun as a city and called Huayang Jun. King Han's move obviously angered King Qin, and King Qin directly ordered to expel the envoys from South Korea. If it weren't for the fact that they were allies, he would have

Kill these messengers.

Zhao Kuo was stunned. King Qin canonized him. He could understand that this was King Qin's plan to alienate him. He wanted to alienate himself from Zhao. Of course, he also wanted to win him over to Qin. But King Han, this was what he wanted to do.

What? To alienate? To win over? Even Han Fei couldn't understand what King Han wanted to do. In the end, it was Di who broke the suspense. Di said with a smile:

"The great talent of the King of Han, unless these cities are bordering the Qin State, then these counties will be allocated to Ma Fujun for food. The King of Qin loves Ma Fujun so much, so naturally he will not attack these places..."

Zhao Kuo was stunned, and then he suddenly realized that King Han might really think so.

Ma Fujun's wedding has ended and lasted for three days. Speaking of which, Zhao Kuo is really not used to it. He is used to sleeping alone, but now, when he wakes up every day, there is always a person lying next to him, curled up.

Zhao Kuo's body was very much like the cat he had raised in his previous life. Zhao Kuo's sleeping posture was very unsightly and he always made a big mark on the bed. On the second day of his wedding, when he found that his hands and legs were pressed against Yi's

When Yi was so heavy that he couldn't breathe, he changed his sleeping position.

Yi didn't like to talk, and she was a little shy when facing Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo was okay. He took her to visit his mother and then to visit Xu Li. Everyone was happy, except Zhao Zheng who was unhappy because his eldest mother wouldn't let him.

When he went to his father's room, Zhao Zheng asked angrily why, but his eldest mother didn't answer, and she didn't allow him to ask. If Zhao Zheng continued to ask, he would be beaten. The little guy was very unhappy, and only Di was willing to tell him. Di said

:This is so that you can have a younger brother or younger sister.

Only then did Zhao Zheng realize that his father was secretly looking for his younger siblings without telling him.

So, when Zhao Kuo was in class with his disciples, the little guy suddenly rushed in and said loudly: "Father, I already know that you and your mother are looking for a younger brother and sister for me in the house. Please find me a younger brother.

I will make him a general and ask him to accompany me to fight!" The disciples lowered their heads. They had received strict education and they could not laugh. Then Zhao Kuo became furious, jumped up, picked up the stick, and chased Zhao Zheng to beat him.

In the end, Di, the culprit, was not spared.

Zhao Kuo's mother did not deceive Zhao Kuo. Yi was a very virtuous wife. She would wash all Zhao Kuo's clothes cleanly. She was also good at cooking and the food she cooked was delicious. Zhao Zheng and Zhao Kuo

Kuo was eating in the courtyard like two squirrels with a round face. At other times, she would either take Zhao Zheng to play or help other people. She would prepare the meal.

I will give it to people like Ping Gong and Du.

Occasionally, she can be seen cleaning the road in front of the door, and by the way, she will help clean the road in front of Ping Gong's door.

The people of Mafu Township also respect and love this lady more and more. She has the same kind heart as Mafu Jun. The women in Mafu Township will come to her to talk to them about any grievances they have suffered. She is very popular and good at listening.

, Zhao Kuo often sat in the courtyard, watching her busy in the courtyard, and couldn't help but giggle. Zhao Kuo once told her some simple recipes he knew, and she tried to make them, but she couldn't make them.

The smell of a previous life.

The corn rice she makes is very delicious, but the wheat rice is not as good.

Zhao Kuo was often busy outside and had to go to the school in the early morning. There were more and more disciples in the school. Now there were more than 600 disciples. There was no room in the school, so he had to expand it again. Zhao Kuo

In the morning, Kuo would explain the contents of "Ma Fu Shu" to them. At first, he didn't have any teaching materials, but now that he finally has them, he would explain them according to the teaching materials. In the afternoon, he would tell some stories.

After telling the story, there was one-on-one questioning and answering. These disciples had their own confusions, and Zhao Kuo would answer them one by one.

Seven of the original disciples who came to follow Zhao Kuo have left. They have not mastered all the knowledge. Most of them were recalled by their own countries. After they returned, they were specifically appointed to take charge.

Explain "Ma Fu Shu". Because of the popularity of "Ma Fu Shu", these people have gained a good status. They were the first batch of disciples of Zhao Kuo, and they preached many of Ma Fu Jun's thoughts in the motherland, and the system he mentioned.

etc.

These people were influenced by Ma Fujun. Although they had different personalities, they still had Ma Fujun's kindness. They were very kind to everyone and would never chase away the children of the common people who came to ask for advice. In this way, Zhao Kuo's thoughts gradually spread in various countries.

Flowers bloomed and their influence continued to increase.

However, these disciples also encountered difficulties. Some other scholars did not dare to go to Zhao Kuo directly, so they came up with their own ideas. Some scholars came to them to debate, especially the two disciples from Qi State.

, even more so, when I encountered others provoking me every day, asking them to prove that the earth was round. The disciples smiled and asked them to prove that the earth was not round.

Not long after the envoy from the King of Han arrived at Mafu, the envoy from Wei also arrived.

The messenger was an old man with a white beard. He looked somewhat similar to Ge, but his bearing was quite extraordinary. He brought congratulations from the King of Wei. Fortunately, the King of Wei did not say that he would give Zhao Kuo a fiefdom, but only sent a letter.

, I hope Zhao Kuo can rush to the Kingdom of Wei to preach his thoughts. Apart from this, there are no decent gifts. This makes Zhao Kuo's disciples feel a little contempt for the King of Wei. How could this dignified king be like this?

What about being stingy?

Of course they didn't know that King Wei was in such a difficult situation that he had nothing left to give as gifts... and Lord Pingyuan used them all to rectify his affairs.

Of course, there were also congratulations from Lord Pingyuan, who also sent a gift, which was... the old man in front of Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo looked at the old man in front of him in confusion, but the old man looked quite handsome. He squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Ma Fujun, long time no see." Zhao Kuo did not remember when he had met him.

, the old man then reminded that he was at the scene when Zhao Kuo went to borrow food from Lord Pingyuan. Zhao Kuo still did not remember seeing the old man there, but he was not rude and seriously invited the old man to sit down.

"I saw the logic you mentioned in "Ma Fu Shu"... I dare to ask, what is logic?"

"Logic is the law and rule of thinking, the law of cause and effect of things. What I call logic is the study of the law of thinking..." Zhao Kuo said, the old man suddenly smiled and clapped his hands, he called

He said: "You are right. Do you think the Mohist theory of hard and white complementing is logical?"

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Kuo knew who was in front of him... Because this debate is very famous nowadays, Ying Jianbai from the Mohist school, and Li Jianbai from the famous school, this person is so obsessed with logic

, and dressed unusually, presumably it was Gongsun Long, the famous person who proposed Li Jianbai, "a white horse is not a horse"? Gongsun Long is still very famous, second only to Xunzi, Zhao Kuo asked with some confusion: "You are

Mr. Gongsun Long?"

Gongsun Long laughed and said: "Yes, it turns out you also know me [81 Chinese website www.81zw.xyz]."

Gongsun Long didn't say any more, and directly put forward his own discussion proposition: Stone has two properties: hard and white. Through different human senses, it produces two different feelings. He believes that if he can touch the stone, he will feel it.

You can know the solidness of a stone, but you can't see its color. And when you can see its color, you can't feel its solidity. Therefore, these two properties of a stone are separate.

Gongsun Long said seriously: "The world and all the phenomena it produces are derived from matter. Any type of specific things has certain attributes and belongs to a certain range... Concept is the name of a thing. Knowing this thing can

It is not this thing. If you know that this thing has changed and is not this thing, you cannot call it by this name. If you know that it is something but not that thing, if you know that it has changed and is not that thing, you cannot call it by that name.

To call Biwu something is to abide by the non-contradiction rate..."

"Universals such as color and solidity can exist independently from human feelings..."

"I think the shadow of a flying bird is not moving. At every moment, the shadow of a flying bird can be considered to be motionless..."

"Using a concept to refer to things without exceeding the actual scope of the thing is just an extension of the concept. Using the essential attributes of things to define the things represented by the concept, so that the thing fully possesses but does not lack its essential attributes, is the connotation of the concept.

A concept with insufficient connotation is a wrong concept, and a concept with sufficient connotation is a correct concept.”

Zhao Kuo's disciples opened their eyes wide, even the disciples were no exception. They didn't understand a word of what Gongsun Long said. They finally understood the feelings of Lord Pingyuan. Lord Pingyuan gave the old man to Zhao Kuo.

Maybe it’s because you don’t understand the old man’s usual language?

Similarly, Zhao Kuo was also stunned.

He likes sophistry, likes to study some topics that no one understands, and these movements, essential propositions...how are they so familiar?? Zhao Kuo suddenly realized, isn't this the Western school of sophists?? He looked at it in surprise

Gongsun Long, he can see some sparks of philosophy in Gongsun Long, the earliest discussion of the world, famous people are not just as simple as white horses and non-horses...

The concept or will that Gongsun Long is talking about now has unchanging and absolute attributes. This sounds like what Plato said.

However, because no one understands, and because they can't find the answer, these desperate celebrities have completely gone down the road of sophistry. They no longer explore the nature of the world, they just regard the tools they used to explore the world as their own.

Target. Gongsun Long said this with great interest. He was very happy. No one understood what he said. Even his disciples only recited it instead of understanding it.

He has never found anyone who can discuss this with him. Now, he said everything he thought and wanted to say. The more he talked, the more excited he became, dancing with joy.

"What you said is wrong..." Zhao Kuo suddenly said.

The old man stopped talking. At this moment, he seemed to have had his soul taken away, and his face was full of decadence, because this time, he was not here to argue.

"Time has continuity, space has malleability, and the shadow of a flying bird moves within the body of time and space. How can you say it is motionless?"

The old man suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise.

He laughed, became serious, and said loudly:

"No! Time and space can be separated! They are different concepts..."

Zhao Kuo looked at the old man in front of him who was seriously talking about his views on the world, his thoughts gradually turning towards metaphysics, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.

These lovely, respectable people.
