Sheng Xian sat opposite Yu Fan, drooping his eyelids, and slowly ate the fruits and melons. Quan Rou is very good at enjoying it. Ju Zhang does not freeze all year round. Quan Rou soaks the fruits and melons in the well water. The taste is sweet and slightly cool, which is a good choice for cooling off.

Yu flipped through the Eastern Commander's stake. After reading it, he closed the stake. He was silent for a moment. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Sheng Xian. "Sheng Xiaozhang, if you have nothing to do, just leave first. I still have a lot of things to deal with and I don't have time to sit with you."

Sheng Xian put down the fruits and fruits in his hand, slowly stretched out his hands. A waiter came over, one of whom was holding a basin and waiting, and one of them scooped water on Sheng Xian's hand. Sheng Xian cleaned his hands, took the cloth towel, wiped the water stains on his hand, stood up, and sorted out the folds of his clothes. "Since Zhongxiang is so busy, I'll talk to General Sun." While saying that, he walked towards the door.

Yu Fan lowered his head again and said lightly. "General Sun is preparing for the Yuzhang war and has no time to deal with the affairs of Wuhui. These matters are temporarily handled by me."

Sheng Xian had already walked to the steps, raised one foot and was about to go down the steps. Hearing Yu Fan's words, he subconsciously stopped. His body shook due to inertia and almost fell down. He barely stabilized his body and looked back at Yu Fan. Yu Fan lowered his head, wrote quickly, and ignored him. Sheng Xian thought about it, walked back to Yu Fan and bent down.

"You have the full authority to deal with Wu Hui's affairs?"

"Yes."

Sheng Xian's eyes twitched involuntarily. Although Yu Fan was downplaying it, the meaning behind it was too rich. Yu Fan was given a heavy responsibility by Sun Ce to handle all the affairs of Wu Hui. What does this mean? There are at least two meanings: first, it is naturally a person who attaches importance to Kuaiji people. Yu Fan is a person who uses Kuaiji. Sun Ce valued him, which means he attaches importance to Kuaiji people, which is better than Wujun people; secondly, Sun Ce attaches great importance to practice. Although Yu Fan is good at learning, he is not a scholar who has been studying the classics for a long time. He is committed to using the classics, otherwise he would not have practiced martial arts.

Sheng Xian realized that although he was only in his fifties, he was already old. Sun Ce was good at using young and middle-aged people, with young and middle-aged people in his twenties and at most about thirty years old, and there were still some teenagers around him. No wonder he was a teenager himself, so of course he couldn't talk to people in his forties or fifties. If he had the idea of ​​waiting for Sun Ce to come and ask for advice, he would definitely be in vain in the end.

Sheng Xian sighed. He was also a famous scholar in Kuaiji, but now he wants to bow his head to Yu Fan. What kind of world is this? But it is not okay to not bow his head. Sun Ce didn't want to see him at all, and what he wanted to do could no longer be delayed.

"Zhongxiang, this is what happened..."

Sheng Xian patiently said his purpose. Yu Fan listened quietly, and it was not until Sheng Xian finished speaking that he reached out to signal Sheng Xian to take his seat again. Sheng Xian was very embarrassed. He just stood up to report to Yu Fan, and it was no different from a subordinate.

"Brother Xiaozhang is a famous scholar in Kuaiji. He has been famous for many years. Why should I focus on small things like enlightenment?"

"Zhongxiang's words are wrong. Why is enlightenment a trivial matter? It is our responsibility to educate the people. The Master said that there is no difference in teaching..."

Yu Fan raised his hand and pressed down, interrupting Sheng Xian's long-windedness. "I didn't say that enlightenment is unnecessary, but those are just things that ordinary scholars can do. Seniors like you should do more meaningful things without wasting time on these meticulous tasks. You can participate in writing textbooks, and you don't have to teach yourself."

Seeing that Yu Fan agreed to participate in the compilation of the textbook, Sheng Xian's wish had been fulfilled most of the time, he asked again: "What are the good suggestions Zhongxiang has?"

"You have written "Theory of Wenwu" and the response is very good. You can write "Theory of Righteousness and Profit" and "Theory of Virtuality and Reality". You can consider writing articles for any controversial topic. Brother Xiaozhang is knowledgeable, has literary talent and literary experience, and has a life experience in officialdom. It is the time to do these topics. In the future, it will be a grand event."

Sheng Xian was moved and pondered without saying a word. He knew that he was old and had no possibility of making merit. Whether he could establish morality was between the two. All he could consider was to make a statement. The popularity of "Theory of Wenwu" in Wuhui was proof of it. Personally, following this path, this is indeed a good choice. But he knew that Lu Kang and others were doing something big, and the weight of these articles might not be enough, and his power alone was too small. He wanted to gather scholars from Kuaiji to fight against scholars from Wujun.

"Zhongxiang, I can do articles, but this is just my own business. There are still several generations of people like me, and there are many people who are better than me. If I can gather together, I can do a lot of things. Could it be that I just watched Wu'er gather in Gusu, Daxing County School, and Kuaiji County School can only have a few broken houses and a bunch of loose sand?"

Yu Fan nodded and put down the plan book in his hand. "Of course, Kuaiji County School needs to be expanded, otherwise how to compile books, but the County School must not only study the classics of the saints, but also study some practices. It cannot be buried in bamboo and silk anymore. It should also raise its head, walk out of the study, and see the world. To be honest, I feel very touched by the Charter when I go to sea with General Sun this time."

Yu Fan said the story of going to the sea, and finally said to Sheng Xian earnestly: "The scriptures were born for preaching, and the scriptures were important and forgetting the way. This is to lose the root of the original and seek the end, and go in the opposite direction. The more you work hard, the further away from the great road, it will be useless. The Xianzhi, since Dong Zhongshu, the Confucian family has been prosperous for more than 300 years, and has gone astray. If you don't lose your way, you will know that you will die."

Sheng Xian was stunned and didn't even listen to what Yu Fan said later. The earth was not flat, it was a ball? If he hadn't known who Yu Fan was, he would almost curse. This was simply a fool.

But he believed in Yu Fan's knowledge and Yu Fan's character, and he would never use such things to make jokes.

If the earth is really a ball, rather than what people think, it will cause a series of problems. These problems are never mentioned by the saints, and it is always a topic that has never been seen by previous generations. Compared with the theory of civil and military affairs, such topics are more likely to resonate with scholars. Even the great scholars of the Central Plains will be interested. They will study the relationship between heaven and man, understand the changes of ancient and modern times, and become a one-on-one. This is the most interesting goal for scholars. Talking about heaven and earth has always been the topic that people like the most.

Sheng Xian felt a new world open in front of him, and it was like walking into a treasure mountain. He picked up a priceless treasure at will. He thought about it and suddenly had an idea. "Zhongxiang, since you have to deal with the matters of Wuhui, will you also control the prefect of Wu County?"

Yu Qian nodded.

"Then I want to pass on a book, and I need the help of the new technology of the Wujun Prefect's Office." Sheng Xian became very excited and his face turned slightly red. "This book is ready-made and can open up a generation of trends before Wujun and county schools have achieved results."

Yu Fan was a little reserved. He knew too well how exaggerated the pursuit of fame was for people like Sheng Xian. "Your old work? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"No, it's Wang Zhongren (Wang Chong)'s last work."

Yu Feng's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he thought for a moment, and his head slightly looked at him. "This is indeed a very good suggestion. Brother Xiaozhang, your words are very timely. Let's do this. I will coordinate the Wujun Prefect. I will leave the manuscript to organize the proofreading of the annotation to you. How about it?"
Chapter completed!
