The reason why Zhao Kuo convened hundreds of scholars was not to compare with them, nor to show off his talents. He had a more profound idea. One hundred schools of thought cannot distinguish between good and bad, even the most declining ones.
, also has its own advantages and merits, and it will have a certain influence on the future. To stimulate the development of these theories, so that they can adapt to the coming era of one king and the world, and continue to shine, this is what Zhao Kuo thought
To be done.
Today's hundreds of schools of thought have long lost their former glory. The various theories are fragmented, attacking each other, and have limited development. These theories will be of great help to future generations, whether in philosophy, science, etc., if they can continue to develop
, no one can say what kind of flowers they can bloom. The scholars from Yan State who were the first to arrive at Mafu Township had a heated discussion with Zhao Kuo.
Some of them became angry and some left here, but some of them seriously reflected and prepared to stay and continue to discuss the theory. Zhao Kuo's knowledge in logic was limited and he could not discuss logic with the Mohists, but Gongsun Long could.
The logics of both sides have similarities, but also many differences. These scholars who came not only discussed with Zhao Kuo, but also communicated with each other.
When scholars from Wei, Han, and Qin rushed to Ma Fu, this debate reached its peak. Among them were farmers, celebrities, Qin Mo, etc. who respected Ma Fu Jun, as well as Chu Mo, Qi Mo, Zi Zhang Ru,
Zi Xia Ru and others opposed Zhao Kuo. Even listening to their arguments was a great pleasure. Zhao Kuo's disciples could be said to have benefited a lot. Han Fei initially did not bother to listen to the academic thoughts of these people.
.
Under Zhao Kuo's instructions, he finally picked up the pen and began to record. He recorded the doctrines and thoughts of each school and wrote his own opinions. After summarizing, he discussed with them (expletive). Han Fei liked
He wrote and didn't like to speak, but once he started to argue, his stuttering was almost cured and the other party was speechless. The grand occasion of Mafu Township attracted many nobles from Zhao State, and even wanted to ask for scholars.
Even Wei Wuji came here, drunk and drunk, to watch the debates of the scholars.
When Wei Wuji arrived, Zhao Kuo was arguing with Gongsun Long.
The debate between Zhao Kuo and Gongsun Long attracted many scholars. They stopped their discussions and sat around the two of them, listening carefully. There were many people watching. Wei Wuji also found a place to sit down and came.
After listening to the debate between the two sages, he looked around and found Zhan, whom he had just met not long ago. He smiled and then asked in a low voice: "What are the two of them arguing about?"
Zhan whispered: "The state determines the people's society or the people's society determines the country."
Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of confusion.
"I heard that Shang Yang carried out reforms in the Qin State, implemented a system of governing the country by law, implemented a system of focusing on agriculture, and used a detailed household registration system, a military merit system, and a company system to govern the Qin State. As a result, the Qin State formed a system that valued agriculture.
Sang, warlike, cruel, rigorous society, what I said: the political system will affect society, guide society, and change people's lives. Therefore, the king must implement the most superior system to form the best ideal society.
."
Gongsun Long said seriously that he now also likes Mohist dialectical logic. When explaining his views, he tried to find as many examples as possible to prove the correctness of his views. Several people had just arrived
When the ink artist in Mafu heard this, the expression on his face was simply indescribable. Isn't it a bit too much to plagiarize in front of him?
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said seriously: "The society I am talking about refers to the sum of production relations determined by the productive forces at a certain stage of social development. It is the basis of a certain society... The social basis determines the country's policies. This is
It is obvious, please let me explain to you: the basis of a certain society is the system of economic relations of that society, that is, the totality of production relations..."
Gongsun Long shook his head and said seriously: "No, let's judge it based on the social foundation you mentioned. It is because Shang Yang abolished private fields and allowed the people to reclaim wasteland that the Qin State has the productivity it has today... Please
Let me explain to you: if the well-field system is not abolished institutionally, productivity will not be improved..."
"No, since you took the land system as an example, let me explain it to you: because of the development of oxen and plows, that is, the development of farming technology and the improvement of social productivity, the land system has just been destroyed. In order to adapt to this
With the changes, various countries have just formulated policies to abolish private land and abolish the original land system. You just used Qin as an example, but why do all countries abolish the original system? Is this learning from Qin? Or rather
Because you have to adapt?"
The people watching naturally had their own opinions on this, and they discussed it one after another. Wei Wuji was embarrassed among them. When Gongsun Long spoke, he felt that what Gongsun Long said was reasonable. As soon as Zhao Kuo spoke, he felt that Zhao Kuo said
It makes sense. The Confucian scholar on the side suddenly raised his head and asked seriously: "Which classification method do you think Ma Fujun used to divide the ideological upper class and the political upper class?"
Wei Wuji's smile slowly stiffened. He looked at Gongsun Long and then asked, "A famous person?"
"I think so too."
The Confucian scholar seemed to have found a confidant, and he happily chatted with Wei Wuji, discussing whether this classification was correct.
Zhao Kuo and Gongsun Long began to discuss from various aspects. What they were discussing was: the relationship between the economic base and the superstructure... If it was Zhao Kuo in the past, even if he knew this relationship, he would not be able to summarize it. However, Zhao Kuo is
After arriving here, I studied the theories of various schools and combined them with today's reality. I combined what I learned in my previous life with the present, and I was able to debate with people like Gongsun Long.
Of course, this is also the reason why Gongsun Long gave up his original debating routine. His current debates tend to be academic rather than to win the opponent, and he has embarked on the path of sophistry. Zou Yan listened carefully to the side. Zhao Kuo originally summarized the change of dynasty.
Previously, similar things were mentioned, but what Zhao Kuo said now gave Zou Yan a deeper understanding: Maybe productivity can affect the rise and fall of a dynasty?
Ever since, when Gongsun Long and Zhao Kuo had a tie, a new proposition emerged: the rise and fall of dynasties and productivity.
Zou Yan left the court in person and continued the debate with Zhao Kuo.
Hundreds of schools of thought despised other schools of thought, but when Zhao Kuo, Gongsun Long, and Zou Yan discussed these issues, they seemed very active, and there was an indescribable excitement in their hearts. They seemed to have returned to the past.
It was an era when schools of thought discussed each other and developed each other.
King Zhao heard these things, which made King Zhao very excited. With so many talented people coming to Zhao Kuo, King Zhao certainly wanted them to feel that Zhao Guo valued the talented people, so he immediately asked Lian
Po Zai Ma Fu expanded his school so that those talented people could have a place to live and provide them with meals. He personally sent a hundred sheep... King Zhao was so happy that he couldn't sleep every day. He just hoped to stay
Kill these people and turn them into ministers of the State of Zhao.
After Zhao Kuo and Zou Yan finished their debate, they moved their stiff bodies and walked towards their courtyard. As soon as they walked out of the school room, they saw Zhao Zheng running towards him and almost bumped into him. Zhao Kuo was about to scold him.
Zheng said in a panic: "Father... my eldest mother asked you to go back quickly!" Zhao Kuo was stunned and hurriedly walked towards home. When he walked into the courtyard, he heard his mother
of laughter.
"Kuo! Kuo!" Zhao's mother smiled, and Yi beside her lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Yi You is pregnant!" Zhao's mother said.
Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, unable to react. He looked at his mother and was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at Yi. Yi lowered his head and said nothing. Zhao Kuo laughed and rushed to her in a few steps.
Beside him, he wanted to pick her up, but was afraid of pressing her belly. He just giggled and was speechless, "Okay, okay." Yi was startled by him and hurriedly whispered: "
Mother is still here, don’t be rude..."
"Oh, by the way, I have something else to do. I'll go out first." Zhao's mother said, leaving in a hurry and closing the door. Only Zhao Kuo and Yi were left in the courtyard, and Zhao Kuo Wenwen
Looking at his wife in front of him, he smiled stupidly, with a flattering look on his face, "What do you want to eat? Do you want me to buy some fruits?" Yi shook his head, Zhao Kuo helped her into the inner room, and hurriedly
Ask her to sit down.
"I won't go to school these days... I'll stay here with you."
"No, you have important things to do, don't delay these things because of me..." Yi said, and then warned with some worry: "I'm worried... you won't
If you love Zheng again as you did before... please don't treat me differently, Zheng has always regarded you as his biological father..."
"Hey... what are you talking about? How could I do that?" Zhao Kuo shook his head and said with a smile: "That kid doesn't know that he is going to have younger brothers and sisters... By the way, you have to
Take good care of him. The day before yesterday, he led a group of children to dismantle the bullock cart of a Yanguo Confucian... He even hid the oxen driving the cart..."
Yi smiled softly and said: "The Confucian said something bad about you, and Zheng'er happened to hear it...I heard that the Confucian was not only not angry, but also very happy, saying that Ma Fuzi was so young.
, you will know the truth of avenging your father, and you will definitely be a wise man in the future."
Zhao Kuo shook his head helplessly. This emperor of all ages was getting more and more naughty. He led the children in the village to make mischief all day long. It seemed that it was time to formally teach him. Zhao Kuo thought seriously in his heart.
.
Zhao Zheng, who didn't know that the disaster was about to happen, was still playing with his friends by the creek outside the countryside. He was making a fuss when a delicate carriage came slowly from a distance. Zhao Zheng raised his head and said seriously.
Looking at the carriage, as he was sizing it up, a woman stepped out of the carriage. The woman looked at the children and quickly locked her eyes on Zhao Zheng. Followed by some maids, she walked to Zhao Zheng with a smile.
.
"You guys go back first." Zhao Zheng said to his friends, and then he looked seriously at the woman in front of him, Zhao Ji. Ever since he could remember, Zhao Zheng knew that he had a mother, but this mother did not
She is not in Mafu, but in Handan City. Every year, she comes to visit her. Her father is also very polite to her, but Zhao Zheng is obviously hostile to his biological mother.
This is because this woman once told him that he was not the son of Ma Fujun, but the son of Mr. Qin, which made Zhao Zheng very angry.
Zhao Ji looked at her son in front of her with a smile. During these days, Zhao Ji lived a pleasant life. She was not stupid. She never visited Zhao Kuo again after knowing that Zhao's mother had no good impression of her.
, Ying Yiren left some wealth in Handan and left it to a merchant. She can get it. Zhao Ji bought a house in Handan and often visited those dignitaries, eating, drinking, and using it all.
The most luxurious.
She even hooked up with several noble men and accumulated a lot of wealth. She was already one of the few wealthy families in Handan.
Zhao Zheng frowned and said coldly: "Are you here to see my father? My father is in the courtyard."
Zhao Ji was not angry because of Zhao Zheng's indifference. She bent down, looked at Zhao Zheng's face, and said softly: "I'm here to visit you, Zheng, how are you doing? Xinde's mother treats you well."
Are you okay?", Zhao Zheng replied: "Before you came, I was living a good life."
"Hahaha..." Zhao Ji chuckled. She stretched out her hand and pinched her son's face, her eyes gradually revealed some sadness, and she said: "I am doing it for your own good, I won't disturb you,
Your father and that woman will treat you better. If I pester you every day... Well, you are living a good life, that's all. Come... take it..." Zhao Ji waved her hand.
, then a maid came out from the side and handed several packages to Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng just looked at her coldly, still speechless.
"There is a lot of money and food here. You can buy what you want with this. When I came here last time, didn't you complain that your father gave me very little money..."
"My father said: People can love money, but they have to get it in the right way. I don't need this, please take it back. If I want to buy what I want, I will make money. I will help my mother with the housework.
She will give me money..."
"That woman is using you as a retainer???" Zhao Ji's tone suddenly became higher, her beautiful eyebrows twisted together, and several maids around her also started making noises. Zhao Ji had a cold face and got into the car directly.
, rushing towards Mafu Township. On the road, the young disciples or scholars passing by looked at this gorgeous woman in surprise. The woman's beauty attracted everyone's attention.
When Zhao Ji came to Ma Fujun's courtyard, she finally suppressed the anger in her heart and put on a smile.
Zhao Kuo stood up, took Zhao Ji into the courtyard cordially, and prepared food and drinks for her. Zhao Ji was smiling and chatting with her cordially, but her heart was full of disdain.
, the two stood together, and the gap was even more obvious. Standing in front of the beautiful Zhao Ji, who was wearing heavy makeup, Yi Yi, who looked simple, wore rough clothes, and his cheeks were red from the cold, looked very ordinary and completely incomparable.
"You don't have to be busy, let my maid do it..." Zhao Ji said, and then said to Zhao Kuo: "I came to see Zheng'er. I just saw him and wanted to chat with him. He
He said that he wanted to help his mother with things, but he doesn’t have much time... He helps you with things, and you give him money..." Zhao Ji looked at Yi again and said with a smile: "How bad is this? Children help
That’s what mother should do.”
Yi smiled and said: "Zheng'er is very sensible. If he comes to help me, I will give him some money and he will not spend it arbitrarily."
Zhao Kuo looked at Yi helplessly. Yi was always like this, she would never hear good words. Her mind was too simple and she would always worry about things that ordinary people would not worry about. Zhao Kuo had already seen that
Zhao Ji's purpose of coming here was obviously to question why Yi wanted Zhao Zheng to work. Zhao Kuo coughed and then said: "I don't want him to have the habit of getting something for nothing. People must work hard in order to gain something."
..."
"I will not harm him, nor will I be harsh to him, neither will Yi. She doesn't even know how to harm someone."
Zhao Kuo frowned and said seriously: "If you miss him, you can come and visit him more often."
Zhao Ji didn't speak anymore. She looked at the handsome and upright man in front of her, and then at the silly country woman next to him. She felt particularly uncomfortable in her heart. She was a little envious and a little jealous. How could such a perfect man?
Would you fall in love with such an ordinary woman?
