Han Dao world

At least in Guanzhong and Hedong.

These places have been promoting enlightenment, and there are many literate common people.I can't understand the advanced articles, but I can understand what Taixue is arguing about.

Those people could not stand on the side of the scholar-bureaucrats. They were more willing to support the emperor and Du Tian, ​​and some even got the land.If you see scholar-bureaucrats coming all the way to Chang'an just to oppose Dutian, what will your reaction be?

Kong Rong thought with his toes, and he could also think of the result.

What's more, he is the one who has seen the emperor's lips kiss.

He rejected the emperor's invitation without hesitation, but he also knew that the emperor was not a person who would let it go.Now that the hole has been dug, he will definitely find a way to let him jump into it.

Unless he leaves Chang'an, leaves Taixue, and escapes to a place where the emperor cannot find him.

He paid close attention to the movement of the emperor, and when he heard that the emperor had come to Taixue, he knew that something was wrong, so he immediately found a place to hide.

Hiding here with Xu Jing, apart from the fact that Xu Jing has just arrived and the emperor may not be aware of it, it also has something to do with Xu Jing himself.

Xu Jing is from Pingyu, Runan, and has a very good relationship with Chen Ji from Xu County, Yingchuan, and is Xu Shao's elder brother.However, both Chen Ji and Xu Shao were hated by the emperor.Chen Ji's son, Chen Qun, has been stranded in Jizhou so far because of Xun Wenqian.Xu Shao, on the other hand, ran all over Zhang Xi's affairs and refused to let it go.

Because of these two reasons, no one dared to invite Xu Jing to teach at Taixue, and many people intentionally or unintentionally kept a distance from Xu Jing.

It's safest to hide here.

Of course, these words cannot be told to Xu Jing. Kong Rong only said that he wanted to concentrate on doing some learning and didn't want to participate too much in the discussion, so he rejected the emperor.

Now that the Son of Heaven is here, it would be impolite to refuse in person, and it would be against one's own ambition not to refuse, so we had to hide to avoid embarrassment for both parties.

Chapter 735

After Kong Rong finished speaking, Xu Jing praised him greatly.

Scholars should have integrity, should be knowledge-based, not mercenary.

Compared with learning, fame and fortune are insignificant.

Although Mrs. Liu felt that Xu Jing's back would not hurt while standing and talking, she did not object.Accompanied by a few words, got up and went to the kitchen to prepare.

Seeing Kong Rong like this, today's meal cannot escape.After Xu Jing arrived in Chang'an, he received much hospitality from Kong Rong, so he should reciprocate today and prepare as decently as possible.

After looking around in the kitchen, Mrs. Liu went back to the inner room, opened the suitcase, and took out a handkerchief from the bottom.Open the handkerchief, inside is a golden step shaker.

She stared at Jin Buyao, looked again and again, gritted her teeth, wrapped herself up again, put it in her arms, and went out through the side door.

In the hall, Xu Jing and Kong Rong were in high spirits.

"How long has Wen Xiu stayed in Wu Hui?"

"It's only a few months. Sun Ce crossed the river and slaughtered the heroes. I can't save him with my strength, and I can't bend my righteousness. I can only avoid him."

Xu Jing shook his head and sighed endlessly.

After arriving in Chang'an, he heard news about Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce went to court to meet him, he gained the trust of the emperor and entrusted him with the task of Southeast.He himself has returned to Kuaiji, and Yu Fan, his confidant counselor, is serving as the sacrificial wine in the lecture hall.

Xu Jing was somewhat disappointed that such a person was reused by the emperor.

If he didn't run out of money, he wanted to leave Chang'an directly and return to his hometown in Runan.

Although the Son of Heaven is known as a wise man, and is even called a sage, in his opinion, such a Son of Heaven is obviously not the sage in his mind.

This is also one of the reasons why he is not very concerned about seeking an official position.

"Then are you familiar with Wang Jingxing?"

"When I passed Kuaiji, I was treated by him."

"Wang Jingxing is now teaching in the army, teaching soldiers to read, quite proud."

Xu Jing frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said regretfully, "It's a pity."

Kong Rong smiled wryly. "Wen Xiu, don't blame me for not predicting. Although the world is peaceful and the great man is revived, whether you and I can achieve what you and I wish, I'm afraid it remains to be seen. The emperor uses soldiers and has the style of a famous general, but literature is not as far away as Guangwu. This centuries-old tradition of cultivating scholars is likely to change."

Xu please frowned. "What do Xun Wenruo and Xun Gongda say?"

"They have important responsibilities on their shoulders and are far away from the court. Even if they have any opinions, they cannot reach the ears of the emperor in time. Wen Xiu, you can't expect too much from them. It is impossible for them to be Dou Youping (Dou Wu). Although the Son of Heaven is young, he knows the importance, and no one can shake Fu's position as empress."

Xu Jing smacked his lips, but stopped talking.

Just as he was talking, Kong Rong's attendant came in and whispered something in Kong Rong's ear.

Kong Rong nodded, and said to Xu Jing, "The Son of Heaven just left the bookstore and went to the wine offering place."

Xu Jing smiled and said, "Then you can eat at my place with peace of mind. Although the food and drink are a little rougher, it's quieter than your place."

Kong Rong laughed out loud, with a bit of complacency.

Even though he is not highly valued by the emperor, he is still a famous Confucian and scholar, the seats are always full, the wine in the glass is not empty, and it is very lively every day.

-

Liu Xie came to Fu Wan's lecture hall.

Fu Wan is giving a lecture.There are many scholars sitting in the hall and in the hall, some are old, some are young, some are well-dressed, and some are half-worn.There is a screen on one side of the hall, and behind the screen a few figures can be vaguely seen, like women.

Liu Xie didn't get alarmed, and motioned for Wang Yue and the others to stay outside, and only took Ma Yunlu and Lu Xiaohuan to stand in the porch.The person next to him glanced at him with a look of disdain, and left calmly.

Liu Xie ignored them.

He was wearing ordinary clothes, but it was a close-fitting narrow-sleeved samurai uniform that was convenient for riding a horse. He also wore a leather hat on his head.Ma Yunlu and Lu Xiaohuan beside him are also dressed similarly, and they have nothing to do with everyone's ladies.

Those scholars may regard him as an arty samurai, and they will get bored after hearing a few words, and turn around to go out to drink and brag with fellow travelers.

Liu Xie has long been used to this kind of vision and doesn't take it seriously.Ma Yunlu and Lu Xiaohuan didn't care, they just followed Liu Xie closely and didn't let others get close.

The readers are far away, which is just what they want.

What Fu Wan is talking about today is not the traditional Confucian classics, but the ancient books he has been studying.These ancient books come from stolen ancient tombs, and the characters inside are all Qin Yinan's ancient prose, so it is very difficult to study.

Fu Wan studied for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out. He is still in the stage of clarifying the ancient characters.

The publication of "Shuowen Jiezi" provided him with a lot of help.

Right now in front of Fu Wan, there is a hardcover version of "Shuowen Jiezi", Fu Wan stops from time to time, opens "Shuowen Jiezi", and does some textual research on the content of the article with doubts.

Almost everyone sitting in the hall has one, at least one for each case. Following the rhythm of the end, they flip through the book from time to time, and then copy it.The people in the class did not have "Shuowen Jiezi", so they could only listen to it.

The atmosphere is very warm, but the content is also very boring. From time to time, people quietly leave the table.

Ma Yunlu and Lu Xiaohuan didn't understand at all, and were not interested at all.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that Liu Xie still had no intention of leaving, one of the scholars who had avoided him just now became curious about him, so he took the initiative to come over and saluted him.

"Runan Hu Zong, whose style name is Wei Ze, dares to ask the name of Gao's surname."

Just as Ma Yunlu was about to step forward to stop him, Liu Xie waved his hand and greeted him with a smile.

"Luoyang Liu Xie, courtesy name Shutong."

Hu Zong looked at Liu Xie in surprise, with some doubts and fears.He thought for a while, and then said: "You are also interested in ancient Chinese?"

"Actually, I don't really understand." Liu Xie smiled and said, "It's just an eye-opener."

"Yes, this ancient text is indeed not very easy to understand. It may be better if there is a "Shuowen Jiezi" and I read it from time to time. If there is no such book, it will be difficult to move forward."

"I remember that Xu Shuzhong is also from Runan, didn't you know this book before?"

"I've heard of it, but I haven't had the chance to see it." Hu Zong felt helpless. "Now that this book is published all over the world, I wanted to buy one to study, but the quantity is so small that even if I make enough money, I won't be able to buy it for a while."

After Hu Zong finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xie with hope in his eyes. "Did you buy this book?"

"I do have one, but haven't read much."

Hu Zong was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Then... can you transfer it to me? I can double the price."

"You are very rich." Liu Xie looked at Hu Zong again.

A copy of "Shu Wen Jie Zi" sold for more than 1 yuan, and Hu Zong doubled the price as soon as he opened his mouth. This is a local tyrant.

"No, we are a few people raising money together to buy it together, thinking that if we buy it earlier, we will be able to study earlier, and we will be admitted to study under Fu Jun's family in the future."

Liu Xie was taken aback. "These are the exams for Fu Jun's family?"

"Yes, too many people signed up, so Mr. Fu came up with a way to take the exam." Hu Zong pointed to everyone in the hall. "All the students who come to listen to the lecture are interested in applying for the exam, but not many can persevere. If there is no lack of ambition to learn, they really can't buy books."

Liu Xie thought about it. "Where do you live? I'll send the book back."

Chapter 736 Knowledge is Priceless

Hu Zong was overjoyed, and quickly borrowed a pen and paper from the side, wrote down his address, and gave it to Liu Xie respectfully.

Liu Xie took it and put it in his sleeve.

He knew who Hu Zong was, and he wanted to recruit, but this was not the right occasion.Leave the address and look back, maybe there will be more gains.

Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. Those who can study with Hu Zong must not be mediocre.

Just as he was talking, the class came to an end. The people in the class didn't move much, but most of the people in the class got up, some just moved their bodies, and some shook their heads and sighed, ready to leave.

Seeing them like that, Liu Xie knew that what Hu Zong said was true.

There are quite a few people who want to take the exam, but not many people really feel that they have a chance, and many people quit before taking the exam.

Liu Xie bid farewell to Hu Zong and went straight to the back hall.

Hu Zong looked at Liu Xie's back, his eyes changed.He turned around and left the door of the lecture hall. Looking around, he found some out-of-the-ordinary knights, suddenly realized, slapped his thigh hard, turned and left in a hurry.

When Liu Xie came to the back hall, he was drinking water after Fu Fu, surrounded by several disciples, some were serving, some were asking for advice, and there was a young woman among them.

Seeing Liu Xie approaching, the young woman got up to avoid it, and quickly got up to salute after Fu Wan.

After meeting with Fu Wan, Liu Xie took his seat and asked about the exam straight to the point.

He knows that there are thresholds for admission to Taixue, but he doesn't know what these thresholds are, and he is still in the groping stage.Fu Wan used the method of archaeological texts to determine the candidates for entry, whether it was his own idea or a general method, he needed to ask clearly.

Fu finished listening, and said calmly: "This is my own method."

"Why?"

Fu finished with a sigh. "Your Majesty, do you still remember the situation of Luoyang Taixue? Less than [-]% of the [-] Taixue students really study hard, and the rest are busy with socializing. After studying for several years, they can't even understand the most basic characters. Isn't it a waste of the court's money and my time?"

Liu Xie nodded. "That's all?"

"Does Your Majesty think that they want to join my sect just for learning?"

Liu Xie blinked and couldn't help laughing.

Although Fu Wan is honest, he is not stupid.

Although Fu Wan is the official residence of the Shaofu, it does not match his identity as the father of the queen.But the emperor respects the queen, and the possibility of Fu's family continuing in the future is very high.After entering the sect, the future is obviously brighter than that of other sacrificial wines.

"I don't want to be a shortcut for those people to pick up the green and the purple. If you want to join my school, you must be sincere in learning. If you want to be an official, it's better not to."

Liu Xie felt that Fu Wan was very sober, but his method was a bit inappropriate. "But Shao Fu tested their ancient prose, even if someone really wants to learn it, without "Shuowen Jiezi", I'm afraid they won't be able to pass the test?"

"This is not the responsibility of the veteran." Fu Wan was also a little dissatisfied. "Your Majesty might as well ask Mrs. Tang why a book is so expensive to sell for one gold. It's just expensive, and the quantity is still small. I heard that a total of [-] copies were printed, and nearly [-] of them were not sold at all. , just to give away.”

Looking at the pained face, Liu Xie probably understood the reason.

Private schools flourished in the Han Dynasty, and great Confucians had tens of thousands of disciples, but only a small number of them could truly accept the teachings of great Confucians, so there were great differences between disciples and disciples.

The simplest is the named disciple, only a teacher-student relationship in name, who may never meet each other, and of course there is no cultural inheritance.

This type of people is only the periphery of the disciples, not really entering the master's door.

There are different levels for those who really start learning, such as getting started, going to the hall, and entering the house.

Those who can listen to the lectures in the hall are the ones who are in the hall, and most of them are the introductory disciples of Fu Wan. These people have a clear knowledge inheritance, which is the so-called teacher method.

Liu Xie saw just now that most of the disciples who listened to the lecture had "Shuowen Jiezi", and at least one copy was shared by two people. That is to say, in the hardcover version of "Shuowen Jiezi" printed by Mrs. Twenty of them were in the hands of Fu Wan's teachers and students.

Twenty books is twenty gold, even for Fu Wan, it is not a small sum of money.

The high book price affected Fu Wan's teaching, of course he was unhappy.

But Liu Xie understood why Mrs. Tang did this.

It's not just about making money.

With more and more bookstores, one bookstore per county will be realized sooner or later. How can the Wenxiu Bookstore she presides over gain a foothold?That is to build word of mouth and be the best bookstore.

This hardcover version of "Shuowen Jiezi" is to establish a reputation among scholars and let them know that being able to read the hardcover version of works in Wenxiu Books is the best embodiment of academics. Having a book published by Wenxiu Bookstore It is a symbol of academic grade.

This is not only true for individual scholars, but it has even become a sign of whether a county has a sufficient academic level. The publication of "Shuowen Jiezi" has become a sign of the outstanding people in Runan to some extent.
