Fang Jun looked at Fang Yizhi.

Fang Yizhi also smiled and said: "That's right! Let's just talk casually. Anyway, there is nothing left or right!"

Fang Junle thought about it, and smiled: "How to think about it? There are many ideas. It is too complicated to say. But how to think about it is definitely not about dancing with words or reciting poems. Common sense! Everything cannot be attributed to the gods! We are born as human beings, nothing more than to figure out three questions, that is, who am I? Why am I me and not others? Where am I in this world? As long as If you think about these three questions clearly, most of the troubles in life will be solved!"

Wei Shuyu, Fang Yizhi and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

Wei Shuyu smiled immediately: "You just talk about this in the South Study Room?"

"Naturally!" Fang Jun shook his head and said, "It's just a casual conversation! In fact, I have to go back to the blessing house to get some food later, and I don't have so much time to hang out outside. Since brother A and Wei want to listen, then just talk casually."

"Who am I? Why am I me? Such questions..." Fang Yizhi frowned suddenly, and looked at Fang Jun immediately: "How can you figure it out?"

"It's better if you don't understand! You can think about it!" Fang Jun said with a smile: "Tao can be Tao, very Tao, name can be named, very famous. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, famous, the mother of all things. What is the Tao of heaven and earth? ?Is it constant or ever-changing? Is there any particular law in the change? Why do the sun and the moon rise and why do they set?

Fang Yi heard the words directly, and said dumbfoundedly: "Second brother, do you dare to talk about such things? If you talk about it in depth, most of them are treasonous words!"

Fang Jun shook his head and smiled, "That's just to talk to them casually inside! As for later, they want to talk about protecting farming and farming, so they talked about the plow! I think the plow is indeed a bit strange, but it has been used for hundreds of years. Time does not improve!"

"Is it because of this?" Fang Yi asked in surprise.

"That's right! That's why!" Fang Jun said with a smile: "As the saying goes, man will conquer heaven! In ancient times, there was the Foolish Old Man who moved mountains, and later there was Dayu who controlled the floods. They are both determined to conquer heaven! There are still many unresolved problems in the Tang Dynasty, and most of them are It’s because you can’t think. As long as you solve the problem that you can think about, then some things will appear naturally!”

"How do you know how to think? Just thinking about why I am me?" Wei Shuyu stared at him with a serious face.

Fang Jun shook his head: "This is just one of them! Brother Wei, before we think about the problem, we must first see the problem! For example, a few days ago, I saw Cheng Chubi leading a few horses towards the west of the city. It slipped halfway and the horse fell to the ground. I went over to ask and found out that there was something wrong with the horseshoe! At that time, I thought, why has no one solved this problem for so many years? What’s the use of mere words?”

Fang Yizhi and Wei Shuyu were taken aback, their eyes widened slightly: "How to solve it?"

Fang Jun glanced at them and said with a smile: "This is relatively easy to solve! You only need to drive a few nails into the horse's shoe and nail a piece of iron to it! I don't know how many army horses there are in Datang? But , if it can be nailed into a piece of iron, the problem of slippage should be solved! Of course, this is just an example, in fact, we have seen many problems that cannot be solved!"

Wei Shuyu couldn't help being stunned, and his breathing became short of breath.

Fang Yi stared wide-eyed, and quickly said: "Can this method solve it?"

Fang Jun nodded and said: "This is just one of the ways to think about problems. Impossibility is to find problems and then solve them. As for whether it is an act of investigating things, it doesn't matter at all. The atmosphere in Datang is not right now, so that most people will think about it. Scholars are all enjoying themselves and not solving practical problems. This is the way of taking death!"

When the two heard this, they couldn't help being startled, and stared at him in disbelief.

Fang Yizhi hurriedly said: "Second Brother, be careful what you say!"

"Of course I know!" Fang Jun glanced at him, waved his hands and smiled, "In fact, I don't want to care about what happened to Tang Dynasty. Today, the two want to hear it, so I will talk a little more .Other times, I don't have the time!"

Hearing this, Fang Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately said angrily, "Don't you also have a habit of having a good time? Indulging in debauchery all day long?"

"Brother, if you say that, we have nothing to talk about!" Fang Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "You guys asked me to say it. You can judge whether it is right or not. Anyway, I am just Talk casually!"

Wei Shuyu thought for a while, took a deep look at him, and said, "What the concubine Fang said...is that there is something wrong with taking the imperial examination...?"

"I didn't say that!"

Fang Jun laughed, and wanted to continue talking, when he suddenly saw a girl holding a bamboo basket slowly approaching, his expression froze slightly.

Chapter 136 Measurement!That is arithmetic

It seems that several scholars in the Fenglai Tower saw the girl approaching and surrounded her. One of them was Cui He'an, a member of the Cui family.

The girl seemed startled when she saw someone surrounded her, and hurriedly bowed to Cui and An.

A few people stood on the street and started talking, not knowing what else to say?

Wei Shuyu seemed to have heard what Fang Jun said, so he smiled and said, "What the son-in-law said is somewhat strange. But it does sound very profound. To explore the truth of heaven and earth? How should we explore the truth of heaven and earth? Speaking of this matter Simple, but too difficult to do!"

Fang Jun leisurely watched several people talking not far away, nodded and said, "It's really difficult! Now Datang still lacks some things!"

"Oh? What's missing?" Wei Shuyu and Fang Yi frowned.

"Lack..." Fang Jun paused, then looked back at them and smiled, "Lack of measure!"

"Oh?..." Wei Shuyu and Fang Yi were taken aback for a moment.

"Measurement! That's counting!"

While looking at the girl below, Fang Jun said vaguely: ""Book of Rites·Doctrine of the Mean" once said: Get off the same track today, read the same text, and act in the same way. If you want to explore the great way of heaven and earth, then Measurement is indispensable! How can cars be on the same track and books be the same? Measurement is also required! As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules! As for the horseshoe I just mentioned, what kind of iron should be made? What size? The world should also be measured by arithmetic!"

"Although there are "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Ten Books of Suanjing", they are still not enough for me! The things in it are too complicated, bitter and difficult to understand. If someone can simplify it, it will make all scholars in the world understand. Can read it well! And use arithmetic to measure all things in the world, then this world will look much simpler!"

Wei Shuyu was startled: "How do you know that?"

"Why not?" Fang Jun glanced at him and said, "At this moment, the lake outside has already frozen! Why did it freeze? To what extent will the temperature drop to freeze? Also, the temperature drops To what extent will people freeze to death? If there is a clear measurement, wouldn’t it be much easier to measure? Of course, these things are extremely difficult to learn. Although there are many scholars in the Tang Dynasty, most of them can’t learn Arithmetic! Because it is too difficult! If someone can simplify this arithmetic so that all scholars in the world can understand it, then it will be much easier to understand the Dao of Heaven and Earth!"

Fang Yi said straightly, "How can arithmetic be simplified?"

Fang Jun glanced at him, immediately laughed, and said with a smile: "This is just a casual remark. As for how to simplify it, I don't know much! It's just that it should be so! If all the items in the world have a number Let everyone in the world understand the measurement. Then things will be much easier to do! Hmm! "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" is a very good book, worth studying!"

Although the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty now also test arithmetic, they do not pay much attention to arithmetic. Most of them still rely on current affairs policies, post scriptures, essays and poems to select scholars.

Calculation is just a side door in the side door. For everyone in the Tang Dynasty, they only need to know how to plan and count ninety-nine. Most people have not learned deeply.

When did this start?

It seems that it started when Confucianism came into power in the Qin Dynasty.

Since Confucianism dominated the dynasties, all the partial subjects that do not study Confucianism have been squeezed into corners.

You must know that since the Warring States period in China, there has been "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and later there has been "Ten Books of Arithmetic", which is far beyond the West for several centuries.

But after Confucianism squeezed them out, these things were written out and did not have the effect they should have at all.

Confucianism has been successful and defeated in the past dynasties of China. If Confucianism did not crowd out other disciplines, then the future generations of China would not suffer a century of humiliation.

Fang Jun knew that what he said was useless, so sometimes he didn't bother to say it, thinking that it was too troublesome to do it, and there was no need to spend so much thought on it.

If they weren't talking about it now, he wouldn't even bother to mention it.

This is not a problem that can be solved by inventing one or two things, but a problem that can only be solved by curbing the development of Confucianism from the root.

Otherwise, no matter what Fang Jun does, Confucianism is still the same Confucianism in the end, and Huaxia is still the same Huaxia in the end, and there will be no substantial changes at all.

As long as there is a day when Confucianism excludes arithmetic and other disciplines, then other disciplines will not be able to develop.

It seemed that Wei Shuyu and Fang Yizhi couldn't laugh or cry when they heard what Fang Jun said.

Fang Yi said directly: "Use arithmetic to measure! This statement can be regarded as deviant!"

"Deviating from the scriptures doesn't count. It's just that even so, it's extremely difficult!" Wei Shuyu smiled, and looked at Fang Jun again: "Could it be that Fang's son-in-law can also do arithmetic?"

"Know a little bit!" Fang Jun said.

He was about to continue talking, but suddenly he saw a few scholars below talking, and one of them suddenly slapped the girl on the face.

The girl seemed to be slapped a little hard, she staggered a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

Fang Jun was stunned, and frowned suddenly, and saw that scholar suddenly reached out and grabbed the girl's hair, and pulled it back forcefully, as if he was still saying something cruel, with an extremely arrogant expression.

Because of their actions, many people on the street looked over there.

"I'll go down!" Fang Jun sharpened his eyes and said immediately, leading Tianfu and Tie Xin to walk down.

Wei Shuyu and Fang Yizhi were taken aback for a moment, looked up and looked outside, couldn't help being slightly startled, and hurriedly followed.

When Fang Jun came out, he only saw a few scholars kick the girl violently, throwing the girl to the ground, and then turned and left angrily.

I don't know what they said to be so angry.

When Fang Jun rushed over, the girl had already got up from the ground.

She picked up the bamboo basket on the ground, patted the dress on her body, and seemed to want to leave here, until Fang Jun reached out to stop her.

Seeing someone approaching, the girl seemed startled, and subconsciously took a step back. When she saw that it was him, her expression froze slightly.

"Shen Yunzhu has met Young Master Fang!" She said respectfully, saluted, and there was a clear slap mark on her right cheek.

She didn't cry, but her eyes were a little red and her hair was disheveled.

Fang Jun glanced at the leaving scholars: "Do you know them?"

"This..." Shen Yunzhu's expression froze, he nodded and said, "I've met you a few times before! It's considered an acquaintance! Young Master Fang, are you going to the private school now?"

Fang Jun shook his head: "I was drinking tea upstairs just now. I just saw you talking! How is it now? Is there a problem?"

Shen Yunzhu was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and smiled and said, "Very good! Thank you, Young Master Fang, for your concern! Such things... are often encountered. It's not surprising!"

Fang Jun frowned when he heard this.

After thinking about it, he said, "Do you want...to call back?"

Shen Yunzhu was startled, seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Yunzhu dare not do that! Thank you, Master Fang, for your concern! Now Yunzhu is fine. They probably also heard that Yunzhu and Ling'er are in the private school of Mingdatang Teaching. So they didn't dare to do anything, they just slapped them! If it was any other time, then Yunzhu and Linger might be miserable!"

As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and smiled again, sniffing, as if she was really fine.

Chapter 137 Princess Wencheng?

Those few scholars should be Qinghe Cui family and Fan Yang Lu's scholars, although they are nothing to Fang Jun, but to Shen Yunzhu, they are indeed existences that cannot be offended.

To be precise, she didn't even dare to bother Fang Jun, if she was beaten, she would be beaten.

Fang Jun naturally knew what she was thinking, it was nothing more than that she would rather let things go, and not want to make things bigger.

The two of them are in Chang'an, like duckweed without roots, helpless, how dare they offend some rich and powerful families?

They dared not tie Fang Jun even more, otherwise they would not know how to die.

I don't know whether to say that she is smart, or to blame her for not trusting herself. Since she is unwilling, Fang Jun is naturally too lazy to make a move, and said: "In this case, you should go back first! Remember, if something happens, you must find her as soon as possible. Shen Dalu or go directly to Fufu House to find me! Don’t resist!"

Shen Yunzhu felt a touch of emotion in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "Yes! Thank you, Master Fang!"

He didn't dare to say more, so he turned and left.

Fang Jun also came back.

"Second brother, you are..." Fang Yi looked at him.

Fang Jun shrugged and explained: "The teacher hired by the private school. It is said that he is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he teaches well! It's just that those few scholars...seem to want to cause trouble!"

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction the scholars were leaving.

Wei Shuyu laughed, and said with a smile: "I seem to have some impressions of that woman. She used to stay in Wanhualou?"

"The oiran of Wanhualou!" Fang Jun nodded and said, looking at them with his hands clasped together, he said, "Both of you, I still have something to do in the Blessing House. I'll go back first! We'll talk about it when I have time!"

Fang Yi thought about it for a while, and said dumbfoundedly: "Second brother, you must not get too involved with this oiran, you should..."

Fang Jun nodded and smiled, "I see! Goodbye!"

I didn't bother to listen to his nagging, so I left with my fists clasped.

Seeing him walking away, Fang Yizhi and Wei Shuyu looked at each other, turned around and walked towards the teahouse, wanting to drink a few more cups of tea before leaving.

"The measurement and arithmetic your brother mentioned just now...seems to have some tricks!"

"It's not easy to talk about such things in depth!" Fang Yi nodded and said: "He is just talking casually!"

Wei Shuyu glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Brother Fang. Your brother now seems to have a rough heart in his chest. There are some things that he doesn't want to say, or maybe he can't say. If he is really asked to say it, it is obviously extraordinary !"

Fang Yi was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "Second brother is lazy, so it should be because he is not serious. If he is serious, it will be different! But speaking of these heresies, I hope he can write a poem or article. If he does Well, it can be passed down through the ages!"

"That's true!" Wei Shuyu said with a smile: "The sleepwalking dragon is majestic, and I'm afraid it can be passed down through the ages. It's just that there are too few such poems!"

"That's right! Too few!" Fang Yizhi also felt a little regretful.

……

Going home with his things, Fang Jun looked leisurely. When he walked to the door, he suddenly saw a little girl climbing up a small tree nearby, as if she wanted to take a kite from the tree, and no one else was watching. .

Suddenly, the sole of her foot slipped and she immediately fell from the tree.

Fang Jun froze for a moment, his eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he quickly reached out to catch her.

"Ah! Brother-in-law..."

The little girl exclaimed, seeing someone hugging her, she giggled and said, "Brother-in-law, have you seen that kite? It fell on a tree!"

Fang Jun put her down and knocked her on the head and said with a smile: "You are not allowed to climb the tree, you won't call the maid to come and get it?"

"I can climb up!" Xiao Xincheng said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you are back, can you have a birthday cake? I haven't eaten it for a day!"

Fang Jun smiled and said, "I won't do it today! It's not good to eat every day!"

"Ah? Why? Xiaoxincheng wants to eat it!" Little Lolita opened her beautiful eyes, saw him reach out to take the kite down, and hurriedly caught it, and added: "Sizi Huangjie also wants to eat it!" Woolen cloth!"

Fang Jun laughed, and said with a smile: "Eat other food! Let's go! Let's go in first!"

"Oh!" The little girl answered eagerly, but didn't dare to say more, and was dragged in by him.
