In fact, "Shuowen Jiezi" can have such a status, in addition to the academic content of the book itself, it has something to do with a large number of women from Runan.

Such as Yuan Quan.She was the first person who suggested that "Shuowen Jiezi" could be used as a teaching material, and she wrote a simplified version herself, which played a vital role in promoting "Shuowen Jiezi".

There are not many books that can enjoy the same treatment as "Shuowen Jiezi", and there is still a "Lunheng" in preparation.

Huangfu Li also wanted to print a book, "On the Latent Fu" by Andingren Wang Fu, but Mrs. Tang refused.The superficial reason is that the academic height needs to be demonstrated by scholars, and there are regional disputes behind the scenes.

Kanto people are unwilling to let Kansai people have such an opportunity.

If it were not for the support of Liu Xie himself, "Lunheng" might not have entered the stage of being printed and distributed so quickly.Wenxiu Bookstore's publication plan is another book, "Cai Yong's Collected Works".

Fu Wan was in such a hurry to study the unearthed ancient books, maybe he wanted to justify Langya's name.

"The paperback version of "Shuowen Jiezi" will be on sale soon, and the price will be much cheaper." Liu Xie said: "But I agree with the idea of ​​​​sufficient, rather than indiscriminate. Right now people's livelihood is difficult, and they can't afford too many readers."

"The old minister understands." Fu Wan said with a little bit of resentment and a little helplessness.

Liu Xie ignored him.This is his sincere words. He hopes that more scholars will enter engineering schools, medical schools, agricultural schools, and even business schools, instead of rushing to study Confucian classics.

That is the purpose of his rebuilding Taixue.

If he is still the same as Luoyang Taixue, raising [-] Taixue students who have nothing to do, know how to make friends and praise each other every day, wouldn't he be asking for trouble.

In his view, it is enough for 3000 people to study Confucian classics, and the rest should study practical studies such as agronomy, engineering, and business studies. Only in this way can we embark on the road of healthy development.

"I'm here today, besides watching the reconstruction process of Taixue, I also want to find a few people." Liu Xie then explained the purpose of coming, hoping that after Fu Wan would find a way for him, it would be best if he could recommend a few people.

"Kong Wenju." Fu Wan didn't think about it. "He is the most suitable candidate."

"He refuses." Liu Xie shrugged. "Is there any more?"

Fu Wan was not surprised at all, then thought about it, and said: "There is really one, does your majesty know about Yuedan's comment?"

"Xu Zijiang? Has he come to Chang'an?"

Fu Wan shook his head, revealing a sly smile. "It's not Xu Zijiang, it's another chief reviewer of Yuedan Review, Xu Jing and Xu Wenxiu."

Chapter 737

Zhuge Liang had mentioned Xu Jing before, and Liu Xie also knew what kind of person Xu Jing was.Once upon a time, he thought that Xu Jing was not bad, and Zhuge Liang's suppression of Xu Jing in history was a bit too much.

Now he knew that Zhuge Liang had no choice but to do so.

Even so, he still does not intend to adopt Zhuge Liang's method.

He has better means.

"Is Young Fu worried that I won't dare to use him?" Liu Xie asked with a smile.

He felt that Fu Wan's mentality was a little distorted.

Are you happy that Xu Jing disagrees with the imperial court?Or do you have an idea, but it's just limited to your identity or some reason, so it's not convenient to say?

Fu Wan immediately realized that the emperor was dissatisfied with his attitude, his face changed slightly, and he bowed slightly. "Your Majesty makes good use of people and can turn decay into magic. Not only is he invincible on the battlefield, but he is also invincible in court."

Liu Xie smiled noncommittally. "Who else is available?"

Fu Wan looked distressed. "Uh... I can't think of anyone else who is suitable for the time being."

"How is Laimin?"

Fu Wan stroked his beard and thought for a while. "Lai Min's knowledge is very good, but he has an old relationship with Liu Zhang, and he is easy to talk about, but his words are out of restraint, I'm afraid it's not suitable."

"He and Liu Zhang are old because of his brother-in-law Huang Wan?"

Fu Wan looked at Liu Xie in surprise. "Your Majesty knows that very well."

Liu Xie stood up. "Where do they live?"

"Your Majesty wants to see them, so why come in person, I just ask them to come here."

"Is that still called Corporal Li Xian?" Liu Xie looked around and walked down the hall. "Since we're here, we're not short of these few steps, so let's stop by to see what Taixue has been up to lately."

He paused, and then said: "Instead of waiting for them to write the letter, it is better to take the initiative to listen to what they want to say. Shaofu, are you right?"

After Fu Wan stood up and saw Liu Xie off in embarrassment, he watched Liu Xie leave the hall and disappeared outside the door, then raised his head and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

He knew that Liu Xie was not very satisfied with his attitude.

After going out, Liu Xie looked around and told Zhuge Liang the address Fu Wan had just mentioned.Zhuge Liang was very familiar with Taixue, so he pointed out.

"It's not far, just three hundred steps away. The two of us live close together, so we're only two steps away."

"Then let's go, so as not to mobilize the crowd." Liu Xie said, walking forward.

Zhuge Liang didn't dare to neglect, turned around and let the loose riders scatter around, keeping vigilant, while he caught up with Liu Xie. "Your Majesty, it is a good thing to seek talents, why should you be so secretive?"

Liu Xie turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, raised his chin slightly, and looked around. "Calling and embracing, everyone avoids it, how many real human feelings and the state of the world can you see? Whether it's Lai Min or Xu Jing, it doesn't really matter. What matters is those young people who have just embarked on the road of studying and becoming an official. people."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded and said nothing more.

After following Liu Xie for a long time, he also knows that it is difficult for those middle-aged scholars to change their thinking. After all, there are only a few people like Yu Fan.Most people have read books for more than ten or twenty years, and they have long been trapped in the sage's words and cannot extricate themselves.

Arriving at the gate of a small courtyard, a young man looked at Liu Xie uneasily, holding a jug in his left hand and a bag of cooked food in his right, his face flushed.

Zhuge Liang had sharp eyes, saw it at a glance, and reminded him: "Your Majesty, that is Xu Jing's son Xu Qin. Judging by his appearance, he should have guests at home. Xu Jing's life is difficult, and he can't buy wine and meat without guests."

Liu Xie was stunned and asked Zhuge Liang to ask.

If Xu Jing had guests at home, he would go to see Min Min or Hu Zong first, in case Xu Jing couldn't make arrangements.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and talked with Xu Qin for a few steps. When he learned that Kong Rong was visiting Xu Jing's house, he couldn't help laughing.He turned around and told Liu Xie that Liu Xie also immediately guessed why Kong Rong was here, and couldn't help but feel mischievous.

"Go and tell him that the emperor is visiting." Liu Xieyang raised his eyebrows.

Zhuge Liang understood, turned around and talked to Xu Qin, purposely blurring the target and not clearly stating who the emperor wanted to visit.

When Xu Qin saw Liu Xie and Zhuge Liang, Xu Qin knew that they were not ordinary people. When he heard that he was the emperor, he panicked and rushed in to the small courtyard he rented.

"A Weng, A Weng, the Son of Heaven is here."

Seeing Xu Qin rushing in in a panic, Xu Jing was very unhappy, and was about to yell at him, but when he heard that the emperor was coming, he also panicked.

"Wen Ju?"

Kong Rong slapped his thigh and sighed: "Oh, I am also burdened by fame, after all, I can't escape, but Wenxiu is implicated. Forget it, forget it, I will go to see him, just refuse in person."

With that said, he got up and left the table, put on his shoes, and strode out.

When he went out, he saw Liu Xie standing with his hands behind his back. Kong Rong rushed up and bowed.

"Tai Xue offers wine, Chen Rong..."

Liu Xie pretended to be an accident. "Kong Jijiu, why are you here?"

"I..." Kong Rong was speechless for a while.He really wanted to reject the emperor directly, but hearing what the emperor meant, it seemed that he didn't come to look for him, and he didn't even know he was here?

"Is this Xu Wenxiu's residence?"

"Yes Yes."

"Is he there?"

"Yes... yes." Kong Rong came to his senses. "Your Majesty... are you here to see Xu Wenxiu?"

"Otherwise?" Liu Xie said, ignored Kong Rong, turned around and entered the door.

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and walked in.

Ma Yunlu and Lu Xiaohuan also knew about Kong Rong's refusal of the emperor's invitation. Seeing this scene, they snorted unanimously, walked past Kong Rong with their heads held high.

Kong Rong looked embarrassed, crossed his hands, and stood aside, neither leaving nor staying.

The yard is not big, Xu Jing heard footsteps in the hall, got up to meet Liu Xie, and met Liu Xie in the courtyard.Seeing Liu Xie and Zhuge Liang standing side by side, he couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

These two teenagers are handsome and talented, one is heroic and restrained, and the other is full of vigor. They are rare heroes.

"Runan Xu Jing, I have met His Majesty."

Liu Xie bowed his hands to pay tribute. "Mr. Jiuwen's name. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please forgive me for coming uninvited."

Xu Jing was greatly surprised, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty is serious, how dare I. Please take your seat, Your Majesty."

"You're being polite, sir. I'm here today as an ordinary student of a big man, to ask for benefits from him, not the emperor of a big man. You are the master, I am the guest, and you should take the seat."

"This..." Xu Jing was confused by Liu Xie and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and persuaded: "Mr. Wenxiu, the emperor came to Taixue to visit sages to respect the teacher and respect the way. Respect is worse than obedience. Mr. Wenxiu, you don't have to be polite."

Hearing these words, Xu Jing suddenly felt a great responsibility, as if he shouldered the important task of educating the world, he was full of arrogance.

"Since this is the case, I will accept questions from His Majesty on behalf of the scholars in the world. Please, Your Majesty."

"Please sir."

Liu Xie and Xu Jing gave way to each other, walked side by side, and took their seats as guests and hosts.

Their voices were not small, and Kong Rong outside the door could hear them clearly.He was very curious and wanted to come in and have a look, but Ma Yunlu and Lu Xiaohuan stood with knives in their eyes, obviously they didn't intend to let him in.

In desperation, he had to prick up his ears and listen intently.

"Why don't you leave?" Lu Xiaohuan said angrily.

Chapter 738 New Review of Yuedan

Liu Xie and Xu Jing took their seats in the hall, and exchanged a few words with Xu Jing according to the etiquette for young students to pay homage to famous scholars.

Xu Jing's wife, Mrs. Liu, heard the voice and rushed out to meet her. She saw a young man sitting opposite Xu Jing, and a young man standing next to him, but Kong Rong was nowhere to be seen.His own son, Xu Qin, stood at a loss, forgot to put down the food and drink in his hand, so he hurried forward and pulled Xu Qin aside.

"Who is the boy in the hall? Where is Kong Jijiu?"

"Heaven... Son of Heaven." Xu Qin stammered.

"Who?"

"The boy in the hall is... the Son of Heaven." Xu Qin swallowed and said with difficulty.

Mrs. Liu just took the wine pot from Xu Qin's hand. Hearing this, her hands trembled, and the wine pot fell to the ground. It shattered with a "pop", and the muddy wine splashed everywhere.

Mrs. Liu stretched her neck and looked at Liu Xie who was talking with Xu Jing in the hall. "Qin'er, that...really..."

Xu Qin nodded vigorously.

Mrs. Liu let out a sigh of relief, and said after a while: "The sage wears brown bosom jade, and returns to simplicity. grit your teeth. "Qin'er, maybe this is your chance. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you."

Xu Qin didn't understand what he meant, and looked at Liu Shi blankly.

Mrs. Liu didn't explain, and dragged Xu Qin to the back room, changed into the clothes that were splashed by the wine, went back to the kitchen, prepared fresh tea, and asked Xu Qin to bring it up.

"Just like usual, don't panic."

Xu Qin also came to his senses, nodded vigorously, and went to the hall with tea.

After Liu Xie and Xu Jing finished their courtesies, they immediately cut to the chase.

"I heard that Mr. Xu and General Xu presided over the Yuedan Review?"

Xu Jing's heart tightened, thinking that what should come is still coming.But it doesn't matter, since you want to make a gesture of respecting the teacher, then I will let you experience the dignity of the teacher.

"As Your Majesty said."

"Now that the world is in chaos, all waste is waiting to be rejuvenated. Among the talents that Mr. judged in the past, is there any one who can make great achievements with the court?"

"Of course." Xu Jing puffed up his chest, picked up the teacup, and was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then introduce the talents he had tasted to the emperor. "Your Majesty, please drink tea."

Liu Xie picked up the cup and immediately smelled the onion and ginger smell.

As expected Xu Jing just came back from Yizhou, even the tea he drank was full of Yizhou flavor.

Still, he held his nose and took a sip.

Xu Jing put down his teacup and talked about a few people in one breath.

Liu Xie has never heard of any of them, but he has heard a characteristic. In the early stage, most of these people were from Runan, almost all from the Ruying area. In the later period, there were some from Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Yizhou, but the number was limited. .

In addition, there is another thing in common: Xu Jing's appreciation of these people is similar, either elegant or noble, with a bias towards morality.

It's a pity that there are examples like Cao Cao before, and the morality in character comments is Xue's cat, which is uncertain.

Liu Xie ordered Zhuge Liang to make a record, read the list again, and then asked a question in a leisurely manner. "During the chaos in Shandong, how did these people behave?"

Xu Jing, who was eloquent just now, suddenly lost his temper.

What can those people do?Or, like him, flee with his family.Either stay in the local area and rely on the power of the family to protect themselves.If there is no accident, most of them will maintain a certain relationship with Yuan Shao.
