Chapter 890 0885 [Buying fame and fishing for reputation](2/2)

Liu Kai was even more speechless: "The Liu clan in Qingjiang is not large in number. As long as they are subdivided into families, we don't even need to demolish the clan and move them away. Why are you meddling in things that have nothing to do with you?"

Liu Yannian repeated the sentence again: "It is obligatory."

Then, he continued: "What's more, if Xunzi is promoted into scripture, where will Mencius be placed?"

Just as Liu Kai was about to continue to dissuade him, he suddenly came back to his senses and said angrily: "You want to be famous all over the world, so why are you pretending to come to me? Come and see me off!"

Liu Yannian said: "My nephew is very gentle, please ask my uncle to come with me."

"Get out!" Liu Kai was furious.

Other wealthy people don’t dare to say or act recklessly, so why does Liu Yannian dare to do so?

Because the Liu family in Qingjiang didn't have much land, Liu Yannian's father and uncles were all the kind of people who bought books when they had money. His father alone bought 20,000 volumes of books and kept them at home.

Sometimes, they even sell land to buy books.

He also collects gold and stones, and has many antiques from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties at home.

The number of tribesmen is not large, and they have migrated out from generation to generation and have gone to other places to spread their branches.

How much land can such Qingjiang Liu family hide?

They are not afraid of the government checking their property, nor are they afraid of being demolished and relocated by the government.

So Liu Yannian dared to stand up.

He knew that others regarded him as a spearman, but he was willing to be the spearman. He went to the capital to cause trouble. The emperor would not do anything to him, and he did not think about overturning the imperial decree.

Not to achieve a result, but to pursue the process of making trouble.

After the quarrel, all the big families in Jiangxi will accept his love for Liu Yannian. All the scholars in the world who oppose the promotion of "Xunzi" will praise Liu Yannian for his pride and regard him as a great Confucian who defended Confucius and Mencius!

Liu Kai figured this out and kicked his distant nephew out!

He looked at Liu Yannian's retreating back, gritted his teeth and said: "It's a waste of time to read the books of sages just for fame and reputation! The moral articles are only for people to read, how can there be any trace of true Confucianism?"

Liu Kai has decided not to return to Jiangxi to continue his family tree in the future.
