Chapter 47 Wang Shichong 1
"General, I wonder when the general will go to persuade you to surrender?" In the big tent, Lu Zhaoci was looking at the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand. At this time, the "Tao Te Ching" was not like the later generations, with no punctuation marks in it.
It is very difficult for people to read. Because in this way, every sentence in the book has different fragments and different interpretations. In Lu Zhaoci’s memory, the most classic one is "The people can make decisions by themselves"
There are several interpretations of the sentence "It cannot be made known."
"Brother Fang, you are familiar with Confucian classics, do you know this statement of reconciliation?" Lu Zhaoci did not pay attention to Fang Xuanling's words, but took a piece of white paper from several cases, took a brush in his right hand, and wrote on it
He wrote a sentence, which is exactly what he said: "The people can use it but not know it."
Fang Xuanling glanced at Lu Zhaoci, obviously annoyed because Lu Zhaoci didn't answer his words, but since Lu Zhaoci was interested, he would not object rashly. What's more, Fang Xuanling is also a studious person.
Seeing that the other party wanted to discuss knowledge with him, he felt proud. After all, Lu Zhaoci was only nineteen years old and was not as familiar with Confucian classics as Fang Xuanling. When he saw Lu Zhaoci looking like this, he thought Lu Zhaoci
I wanted to ask myself for advice, and now I felt a little proud in my heart.
Immediately he took out the brush, dipped it in the black ink on the inkstone, and tapped it lightly on the paper. There was an obvious sentence break on it. At this time, Li Zhiyun's little head also came in, and as soon as he saw it
After reading the sentence on the paper, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "I know what this sentence means. My husband once taught me. Hey, people can follow it, but they cannot know it. It comes from Chapter 9 of "The Analects of Confucius. Taibo", Zheng Zheng of the Eastern Han Dynasty
Public taboo Xuan Zeng said: Min means Mingye, who sees people far away. Yu means follow, which means that the king teaches and makes people follow it. If everyone knows the root and cause of it, then the fool may not do it lightly. Brother, Zhiyun said
Is that reasonable?" A smile appeared on his small face, obviously wanting to be praised by Lu Zhaoci.
Lu Zhaoci glanced at Fang Xuanling aside and saw him nodding, with a hint of pride on his face. Obviously Li Zhiyun's explanation probably came from him. He then smiled and said: "Wulang's kind of
The saying is also an explanation, but it does not conform to the words of the sage. The sage emphasizes teaching without distinction. There are 72 sages among his 3,000 disciples. Among these 72 people, there are scholars, farmers, and others.
Merchants, etc. If you follow Wu Lang's explanation, it will conflict with the sage's words." Then he took the brush again and made a few random points on the paper.
"If the people can do it, let them know it; if it doesn't do it, let them know it." Fang Xuanling suddenly opened his eyes wide with a look of disbelief. Of course he would not have thought that this sentence could have such an explanation.
"What did the general say? Xuanling admires it." Fang Xuanling thought for a long time and then sighed. A trace of shame appeared on his face.
When Lu Zhaoci saw this, he also shook his head. Naturally, he would not accept this kind of honor. Because this sentence segmentation method was not said by him, but by a genius named Liang Qichao in later generations. He pointed it out directly.
The original intention of the saint is to teach without distinction.
"The Confucian classics are as vast as the sea and cannot be understood by us." Lu Zhaoci suddenly said thoughtfully: "Sages also pay attention to teaching without distinction, but it is different now. Most of the Confucian classics are
Being in the hands of a large family, I am afraid that even Xuan Ling will suffer from it!"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling showed a hint of excitement on his face. He looked at Lu Zhaoci complicatedly and said, "Although Fang's family is well-off and a family of officials, Fang has also traveled far and wide in order to familiarize himself with the words of saints.
, have been looked down upon by others. If Fang is like this, it is even more so with the common people Han clan. It is not unreasonable for this high-grade Wuhan scholar."
"The people can follow it, but they cannot know it. Alas! Isn't this the situation now?" Lu Zhaoci sighed and said: "When the world is at peace, a certain person will open an academy at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain and collect ten thousand people."
The book is written in it for aspiring young people from all over the world to come and study. Whether they are from high-ranking families or from poor families, they can come. We also invite great scholars from all over the world to come and explain the Confucian classics and broaden the wisdom of the people."
Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up and his face turned red. He cupped his hands towards Lu Zhaoci and said, "Xuanling admires the general for his great benevolence and virtue. If you don't dislike Fang's shallow knowledge, I would like to help the general."
"Haha, with Xuanling's help, half of Lu's work will be accomplished." Lu Zhaoci's eyes lit up. Although he would become Li Yuan's son-in-law in the future, when it came to employing people, Li Yuan believed in him the most.
His sons, as for himself, were only used to balance the government. Until the Xuanwu Gate Incident, there would not be many opportunities for him to go on an expedition. This would leave a lot of time, so it was better to do something meaningful. It was more important.
What's more, as soon as his academy opens, many people will definitely come to study, whether they are children from aristocratic families or children from poor families, they will all benefit from his favor. These people are resources and wealth, which makes Lu
The family's growing wealth.
"Xuanling, there is a method that can print a large number of books. And the cost is not high. The more books are printed, the cost becomes smaller and smaller." Lu Zhaoci suddenly dropped another big bomb.
"General, you have to think about this." On the contrary, Fang Xuanling's face did not show any excitement at all. Instead, his face was solemn. After a while, he glanced at Lu Zhaoci and said, "If it is true,
With this magical technique, the aristocratic family will probably regard the general as their mortal enemy." What Fang Xuanling said is not unreasonable. Part of the reason why the aristocratic family is so superior is certainly the accumulation of several generations, but more importantly, these high-ranking nobles have mastered a large number of
scarce resources, and this profound knowledge is one of them. As long as these Confucian classics are in the hands of aristocratic families, they will have a place in the court. If Lu Zhaoci printed these classics into books and distributed them all over the world
, the aristocratic family will lose the most important barrier, and the Han clan scholars will greatly increase their strength. In the future, they will be able to compete with the high-sect aristocratic families in the court. In this way, those high-sect aristocratic families will not hate it.
Lu Zhao resigned.
"Although these aristocratic families played a very important role in history, by now they have become synonymous with decline and decay. Although the Yang family and his son have little control over the country, they have created the way of imperial examination and collected talents from all over the world for their own use.
, to get a glimmer of hope for the scholars of the Han tribe. The emergence of the imperial examination has shown that the family has begun to decline." Lu Zhaoci sneered: "This general is just a push from behind. Even if they hate me, they will still stand in the way.
We cannot resist the trend of history. If we block it, we will definitely be crushed by history."
"General, don't forget that you are also from a noble family?" Fang Xuanling asked curiously.
