Zhang Yan originally thought that his words at the Nanyuan Kingdom miscellaneous school meeting yesterday were too conflicting, and he would never have the opportunity to participate in the North-South Tea Party later. But in the end, he became the "leader of the younger generation" unanimously recommended by the nine elders and did not participate. Not yet.
"Senior Luo, why do you still want me to go?" When he returned to the inn, Zhang Yan looked confused. At the same time, he also felt that gatherings of the general academic community were no longer novel, so he felt that it was okay not to go, and his mood became dull.
However, Luo Changshan smiled and seemed very satisfied with today's gathering. He explained: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry too much. Most people in the miscellaneous school background are relatively isolated. Even if they are forced by life, they don't easily interact with each other. Their hearts are full of twists and turns. Not much. Even if they have differences, they are discussed on a matter-of-fact basis, and even if there is some pretentiousness, it does not affect the essence.
Therefore, inviting you to participate in tomorrow's conference is also an endorsement of your inspiring speech today.
I really didn’t expect it. At such a young age, my husband has seen so clearly. Regardless of his superb knowledge, this vision alone is worthy of a top spot. Not to mention the younger generation, even we old guys There are so many places where I am not as good as sir!"
"But didn't everyone except you shake their heads at my words?"
"Shaking their heads doesn't mean they don't understand the truth. And how do you know they are shaking their heads at you? What if they are shaking their heads at themselves?"
"ah?"
Zhang Yan would not understand how real scholars would feel about the school of thought they live in and how seriously they would attach importance to it. He would also not understand how what he just said during the banquet shocked the perceptions of those old men.
Everyone thinks that they can be called "home" in miscellaneous studies, and they all think that they are knowledgeable, but what is the reality? When Zhang Yan said, "There is not one person in ten thousand who can really make a breakthrough on the achievements of his predecessors." , all the complacency or pretentiousness on the surface collapsed instantly like a sandcastle.
After self-examination, I discovered that what I was proud of was just that I absorbed more of the accumulation of predecessors than others. How many people have truly made breakthroughs on top of it? I am still like this, and those who are not as good as them What should people do?
"Even if they don't fully agree with what you said, they must have listened. Tomorrow's big tea party will definitely be different from the past."
Zhang Yan didn't fully understand and asked: "But we didn't see the seniors reaching a consensus at the banquet today? Then won't there be endless trouble tomorrow?"
"Hahaha. Mr. Zhang, you are really quick to talk. That's right! People who write and write are pretentious and can dwell on trivial matters for a long time, let alone such a big thing? Do you think we can really reach a consensus in today's situation? ?" Without waiting for Zhang Yan to answer, Luo Changshan gave his own answer: "No!"
With a self-deprecating smile, Luo Changshan paused and continued: "There are so many people, such a big matter, and there is no recognized authority to restrain it. It is absolutely impossible to reach a consensus."
"Then why still?"
"We still need to get together to discuss it? Right? It's just to find a new direction. As long as the opposing, neutral, and changing parties can all think that we can give it a try for the time being, that's fine.
So, does Mr. Zhang know his own importance? If there is no dispute tomorrow, your remarks today will definitely be thrown at the people at Beiwu again. Let's see how they respond."
"But wouldn't that mean we are following Beiwu's approach? How can our seniors here stop?"

"Who said it's convergence? They take the initiative to integrate into the secular world without leaving any room for the purpose of becoming a part of the secular world, and they even don't hesitate to join in the same trend with those mainstream schools of thought. But we are different. We are practicing the "learn to learn" you proposed The concept of "use" is to carry forward the inheritance and attract newcomers, rather than pursuing integration.
They may seem similar, but in fact they are essentially different." When Luo Changshan said this, his expression was serious and meticulous, as if he was correcting a big mistake of Zhang Yan's.
Zhang Yan leaned back in his chair and thought to himself: You still know how to play! Put it this way, the miscellaneous schools of Nanyuan Kingdom and Beiwu Kingdom really sound like they are completely different. Or even the other way around. The miscellaneous scholars from Beiwu Kingdom are shown to be very reckless and brainless, and even feel like they have become a prodigal son.
After comforting Zhang Yan and reluctantly agreeing to attend the Qianbei-Nan tea party tomorrow, Luo Changshan smiled and asked Zeng Hao and Zhang Yan to go downstairs for supper. He smiled and took out the half bottle of wine left yesterday and sat in the room. Drink alone.
"Hehehe"
Luo Changshan drank two glasses of wine in a row, and then chuckled. Today was a better result for him than expected. Not only did the originally scattered Nanyuan Kingdom miscellany have a person who could barely balance the various schools. The new concept of Fangfa also pushed Zhang Yan to the front desk.
Why did someone who was also one of the "Nine Elders" suddenly ask about Zhang Yanxinru's lecture on the Wushu Academy? It wasn't Luo Changshan who told him about it. Before uu read the book, he took the opportunity to pick up Zhang Yan's "Spiritual Matters Miscellaneous Volume" and stopped by. I made a few friends and talked about Zhang Yan. Later, everyone had the idea to push Zhang Yan out. However, the matter about the Wushu Academy became a stepping stone, and several people who had the same views as Luo Changshan used this as a starting point to push Zhang Yan out. Go up.
What could be more useful for reference than a master of miscellaneous studies who serves as a guest teacher at Jiangwu Academy? Whether the concept of applying what one has learned is feasible will be answered by Zhang Yan. In this way, the Nanyuan Kingdom The miscellaneous scholars around the world will no longer have their own opinions as before, but will have specific examples of identification.
There are too many benefits. What's more, Zhang Yan's methods are not just miscellaneous knowledge, he also has alchemy skills. Luo Changshan has not said much to anyone about this matter.
Early the next morning, Luo Changshan got up before dawn and tidied himself up. He looked decent and put on a formal black robe.
When they went downstairs, they saw Zhang Yan and Zeng Hao, who had also packed up and put on black robes, waiting downstairs. The three of them had a simple breakfast and went out. They took a carriage to the outskirts of the city and had the North and South Tea Party today. It was held at a teahouse on the outskirts of the city.
As soon as he entered the tea house, Zhang Yan saw a lot of people wearing Beiwu costumes, walking around in the tea house in twos and threes, admiring flowers or laughing and talking. There were also a lot of them, there were ten people he saw along the way. The rest of them saw nearly 20 more people when they walked into the elegant Pingba surrounded by tea trees.
"These Beiwu people are quite interesting!"
Zhang Yan discovered a very interesting thing. That is, there are many warriors among these people from Beiwu's miscellany lineage. If you look carefully, you will find that these warriors are basically young and middle-aged men. By analogy, it should be He is of the same generation as Zeng Hao.
