After leaving Suiyang, Zhou Zhong took Xun Yue all the way to Nanyang.

He carefully read Yuan Min's monograph and invited Xun Yue to read it together.

Strictly speaking, Yuan Min's writing is not high-quality, and the historical research is not rigorous enough. The real highlight is the specific water control methods. Even from Zhou Zhong's semi-professional perspective, Yuan Min's methods are also new.

, There are many things that have never been seen before.

Xun Yue is not very familiar with water conservancy, and he doesn't understand a lot of the content, but he appreciates Yuan Min's attitude of seeking real-time proof. In his opinion, what the Confucian school lacks is this empirical spirit, which can be done by predecessors.

If you verify the classics like Yuan Min, many plausible statements cannot be spread through rumors and have been circulated until now.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhong frowned secretly.

He felt that Xun Yue was hit too much, and was a little crazy, or went to another extreme, and could not figure out the similarities and differences between Tao and technique.

But there is one thing he still agrees with.

A Confucian scholar without practical experience is very useful.

In order to persuade Xun Yue, Zhou Zhong told a story about Huang Ba, a famous minister of the previous dynasty.

Huang Ba is from Suiyang, and the Xiaoxuan Dynasty once served as the prefect of Yingchuan. Xun Yue is not unfamiliar with some things. But he is not as familiar with Zhou Zhong.

When Huang Ba was the prefect of Yingchuan, his achievements were the best in the world and he was the representative of capable officials. However, Huang Ba later replaced Bing Ji as prime minister. Not only did he not make much achievements, but his reputation was also reduced, and even made many jokes.

.

The main reason is that Huang Ba is proficient in governance, but he is ignorant of governance. He was a minor official, proficient in the law, but his foundation in classics was not solid. He was in middle age and studied the "Shangshu" in prison. Although he was in prison, he studied the "Shangshu" from Xiahou Sheng.

A eagerness to learn, but habits have become successful, and it is difficult to become a great achievement.

Therefore, although the technique must be important, the Tao must not be underestimated.

Xun Yue did not object to Zhou Zhong's view, but did not agree with him.

If he wants to think about it, he must at least study Huang Ba’s deeds before talking about it.

Zhou Zhong’s family’s words are not historical books and cannot be used as evidence.

Fortunately, Cai Yan accompanied him, Xun Yue found Cai Yan, hoping to read relevant historical books. Although Huang Ba was a famous minister of the previous dynasty, his biography was hidden in Lantai and was not published in the world. Even though Xun Yue called him reading books

There is no chance to get to seeds.

Cai Yan felt curious and asked a few more questions.

Xun Yue told the situation again, Cai Yan smiled and asked Yuan Heng to find out the "Biography of Xun Officials" and "Biography of Cruel Officials" in the "Book of Han" and hand it over to Xun Yue.

"If Mr. Xun wants to understand Huang Ba's affairs, he should read the "Biography of Xun's Biography" and know the full picture. Then read the "Biography of Cruel Officials" and verify the two, and click on both ends, or be able to hold it."

Xun Yue bowed to thank him and left with the book in his arms.

Looking at Xun Yue's back, Cai Yan said to Yuan Heng: "The seed sown by the emperor has sprouted another seed."

Yuan Heng looked at Cai Yan and smiled without saying a word.

——

Yin Xun, Henan, may rushed to Wancheng to meet Liu Xie.

It was another year, and Xun's mental outlook was very different.

Henan's situation this year is good, with a happy increase in household registration. On the one hand, the people who were exiled in foreign lands are gradually returning, and on the other hand, a large number of newly-appointed households - that is, the Xianbei and Xiongnu prisoners who surrendered before were naturalized.

Of course, this has also caused many people to worry.

Will the Hulu move into the Central Plains in large numbers, especially the former capital, cause hidden dangers?

Xun may have arrived in Nanyang specially because he wanted to discuss this matter with Liu.

His suggestion was to control the population of the Hulu, move the people on the border as much as possible, and fill the shortcomings of the household registration in the capital.

This requires the cooperation of Hedong, Taiyuan and other counties to control the migration of household registration.

After traveling to the fields, fewer refugees have gradually decreased, and most of them have settled down and then moved, which will inevitably be a little trouble. If the prefect does not come forward, it is unlikely that the people will move on their own initiative.

Liu Xie did not give an answer immediately. He suggested that the Situ Mansion discuss first and then discuss together during the court meeting.

After the official business was discussed, Liu Xie stayed at Xun or had a meal.

Xun Wenqian was accompanied by nature. With the consent of Queen Fu Shou, the eldest son Liu An also came.

Liu An didn't meet Xun'er many times, but he was not afraid of life. When he learned that the middle-aged man with a slightly dark face in front of him was his grandfather, he immediately rushed over and hugged Xun'er's neck and kissed him hard.

Then he was arrogant and wanted to dance a sword to cheer up.

Seeing Liu An's well-like sword dance, Xun Or was both happy and worried, and then took some writing tests for Liu An.

Liu An answered in a slight manner, and seriously discussed the similarities and differences of the "Shangshu" in ancient and modern Chinese, which was catchy.

Xun may be greatly shocked.

Xun Wenqian said that although Liu An was her child, he spent more time with the queen after he was born than with her. Before he could speak, the queen read the "Shangshu" to him every night.

He felt embarrassed, but he had been used to hearing it since he was a child. Later, as soon as he was enlightened, he quickly understood the righteousness.

Xun may have a whim, asking Liu An about his future ambitions.

Liu An patted his chest and said loudly that he wanted to be Duke Zhou in the future and would not be convinced by the emperor's conquest.

Xun may be a little embarrassed, but Liu Xie was very calm and waved his hand, so that Xun may not have to mind.

A five or six-year-old child, even after reading the Book of Documents, could not know the subtle meanings? His meaning was to be a wise minister and serve the emperor, and he had no other meaning.

Xun Or breathed a sigh of relief and understood Liu Xie's good intentions.

This is done intentionally.

Fu Shou taught Liu An to read the scriptures, so he naturally did not want the eldest son to become the prince's opponent in the future. The emperor asked Liu An to perform in front of him because he wanted to tell him that although Liu An could not become the prince, he still had a bright future.

In short, the Xun family in Yingchuan does not have to worry about their future.

Under this premise, their monarch and ministers can treat each other honestly and talk about anything without any taboos.

Xun may not seek it.

He immediately talked about something. Xun Yue had returned from Mount Tai, but he had been stranded in Suiyang, and had not returned to Yingchuan, nor went to Luoyang. As for why, Xun Yue did not say it in his letter, he didn't know.

But he could probably guess that Xun Yue's trip to Mount Tai must have gained something, and it touched the foundation, making him afraid to see his hometown and relatives.

Xun may be a little worried.

Xun Yue is the seed of Xun Shuang's study after him. If there is a problem with him, it will be an unbearable major loss for the Xun family in Yingchuan.

Xun Yue is fifty-five this year, when he is mature in his thoughts and can teach his children in the clan. To put it seriously, this is related to whether the academic inheritance of the Xun family in Yingchuan can continue.

Returning to the root of the root, Xun Yue was a little confused, and the cause was several problems of Liu Xie.

Xun may want to ask Liu Xie to guide Xun Yue, so don’t let him get stuck.

After listening to it, Liu Xie laughed silently.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xun, Zhong Yu is coming to Nanyang, you will meet soon. As for your concerns, I don't think there is a big deal. Then there is a big deal, not to mention that he doesn't need a big deal, he just makes up for the missing one.

Just a ring.”

Xun may be overjoyed, and even Xun Wenqian was surprised.

None of them received news from Xun Yue’s future Nanyang.

"They came with Sikong and Duke Zhou." Liu Xie thought for a while and swallowed the rest.

In fact, Zhou Zhong is not a few years older than Xun Yue, and he has been running around the front line, seeing and hearing more. However, in terms of change in thought, Zhou Zhong is not as good as Xun Yue, a pure scholar.

From this we can see that Zhou Zhong’s talent is really average, and it depends more on the legacy of his ancestors.
