Han Dao world

Liu Xie looked at Lu Yi, the corner of his mouth trembling slightly.

What is this, the inertia of history?

But when you think about it, there is still a difference.

In history, Lu Yi changed his name because Sun Ce controlled Jiangdong. The Lu family had a grudge but could not take revenge.Now he wants to sneak thousands of miles away, and he is doing it in Rome, but he is doing it on his own initiative, and the meaning is completely different.

The same is the appearance, the difference is the state of mind.

Liu Xie thought for a while, stretched out his finger, dipped it in some wine, wrote the character "Xian" on the case, and said with a soft smile, "How about using this as a name?"

Yu Fan looked at it and was very satisfied.He turned his head to look at Lu Yi. Lu Yi had sharp eyes, and he had seen it clearly before, so he nodded immediately.

"That's a very good name, thank you Your Majesty." Yu Fan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "A gentleman should be humble and humble. Even if you are thousands of miles away, dancing with wolves, you must not forget your duty. You must remember that you are a big man." The courtiers and disciples of Confucianism should take it as their intention to obey the imperial edict and practice the kingly way."

Chapter 1175

Liu Ba came to Xun Yu and bowed his hands in salute.

The Jingzhaoji official who was sitting with Xun Yu immediately got up and gave up his seat. Seeing that Liu Ba was not taking his seat, he glanced at him, and said with interest that he was going to chat with some old friends and asked Liu Bakuan to sit down.After speaking, without waiting for Liu Ba to speak, he picked up his wine glass and ran away.

Seeing this, Xun Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Zi Chu, you are really domineering, big Si Nong."

Liu Ba chuckled. "Some people can't be too good-looking, or they will be arrogant. I don't have the murderous look like the emperor, so I don't have to be angry, so I have to put my mood on my face."

"You, it's not shameful to disdain to stand shoulder to shoulder with ordinary people. Why do you have to find so many reasons that even the emperor dares to ridicule you? Zichu, as a minister, you still have to be in awe."

Liu Ba smiled and nodded, but his expression was disapproving. "Then tell me, how do you maintain this awe? I heard that after you met the emperor, you have been studying in Lantai. Is it the emperor's order?"

Xun Yu turned his head to look at Liu Ba, raised his wine glass, and touched Liu Ba lightly. "Do you still need the emperor to order you to read?"

Liu Ba raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. "If it wasn't for the emperor's order, I really wouldn't have imagined that you, Xun Wenruo, would say that the "Pull Star Positioning Technique" is higher than the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences"."

The corners of Xun Yu's eyes twitched slightly, his movements were slightly stagnant, and then he returned to normal. He slowly poured the wine in the glass into his mouth, closed his eyes, tasted it for a while, swallowed it slowly, and let out a long breath.

"Good wine, although light in the mouth, has a long aftertaste, it is worth savoring carefully."

Liu Ba picked up the jug and poured wine for Xun Yu. "Then you taste it slowly. Anyway, it's to keep the year old, the big deal is to taste it from this year to next year."

Xun Yu couldn't help laughing, and leaned into Liu Ba's ear and said, "Unexpectedly, you, Liu Zichu, could not hold back. I was thinking just now, when will you come to ask, is it this year or next year, but you still can't wait until next year .”

Liu Ba's eyelids twitched slightly, he looked at Xun Yu quietly for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. "I didn't expect you, Xun Wenruo, to be so relaxed. I thought you were breaking the wall right now. So, you have learned a lot from studying these few days?"

"Actually, it's nothing, a stone from another mountain." Xun Yu said indifferently: "In terms of academics, how can it be compared with my Chinese orthodoxy."

Liu Ba's eyes flickered slightly. "The Chinese orthodoxy you're talking about includes the schools of thought such as Taoism, Famo, and ink?"

"Of course, the study of a hundred schools of thought is also born for the Tao, but the views are different."

Liu Ba immediately asked: "Compared with Confucianism, is there any difference?"

"Even if people are wise and stupid, how can academics be inferior? It is also Confucianism, isn't there also Confucianism for gentlemen and Confucianism for villains?"

Liu Ba pondered for a moment. "In your opinion, how high is this stone from another mountain? Which one of them is it comparable to?"

Xun Yu took another sip of wine. "Your question is too broad. How can anyone answer it? Although Greece and Rome are barbarians, there are dozens of well-known sages. How can we count them all. Since you and I are officials, it is better to start with the benefits of their governance and choose the other. Essence, for my use."

Liu Ba smiled wryly. "You Xun Wenruo, I'm asking you seriously. Why are you talking like a clear talk, surrounded by clouds and mists, not as good as the original meaning. Can you say something useful? I really don't want to say it, so I won't bother you, and go find someone else to drink."

As he spoke, Liu Ba was about to make a move.

Xun Yu stretched out his hand to hold Liu Ba down. "Zichu, don't be in a hurry. I'm just thinking about what to say to you, and I don't mean to be negligent."

"That's about the same." Liu Ba took advantage of the situation and sat down again. "To tell you the truth, when I was in Chang'an, I often went to the Tongwen Hall to hang out with Mao Xiaoxian (Mao Jie). It's just that I was busy with official duties and couldn't calm down to discuss. I could only understand some rough and superficial theories. The sages of Greece and Rome Although there are many, there are only a few people who can enter my heart. One surnamed Su and the other surnamed Bai are the most gratifying, and the others are insignificant."

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, and then realized who Liu Ba was talking about with the surname Su and Bai, and couldn't help laughing.

"What about the one named Ya?"

Liu Ba laughed too, and raised his glass to meet Xun Yu. "Although the person surnamed Ya is said to be knowledgeable and generalist, his realm is not as high as Su and Bai's. To make a rough analogy, if Su is Laozi, Bo is Confucius, and Adam is Mozi."

Xun Yu thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

He also had a similar feeling, thinking that Aristotle was inferior to Socrates and Plato, and the reason why he became famous may be related to his disciple Alexander.Only in terms of academic purity and lofty realm, it is still slightly inferior after all.

The two chatted for a while, and Xun Yu got back to the topic.

He told Liu Ba that Greece was originally a small country with a small population, so it was not easy to become a hegemon by doing business and straddling the Mediterranean Sea.Its systems and customs are mostly related to business, and there are many places worth learning from.

Liu Ba's official residence is the Dasinong, but most of the affairs he is in charge of are related to business, especially the business routes in the Western Regions, and he often deals with merchants in the Western Regions.Although Greece died, merchants in the Western Regions still respected Greece, and they must call it Greece, and even their characters respected Greek.Knowing more about the history of Greece will be beneficial to Liu Ba's contacts with merchants from the Western Regions, as well as to the management of commerce and merchants.

Huaxia has a long tradition of doing business, and is very clear about the pros and cons of business.Out of the need for stability, most of them adopt the national policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business.But many years of facts have proved that suppressing business is just suppressing the problem, not solving the problem, nor can it give full play to the value of business.

On the premise that the emperor puts more emphasis on industry, re-understanding and developing business has become a reality that officials headed by Liu Ba must face up to.

Evasion is not the solution to the problem. Facing difficulties, using Greece and other countries as rocks from other mountains, and formulating commercial policies suitable for the big man is the correct choice for people with lofty ideals who are interested in politics.

Liu Ba couldn't help clicking his tongue when he heard this.

"Wen Ruo, you haven't wasted the past few days. This book is worth reading. Although I have some understanding of Greek theories, I still linger on the discussion. I didn't think about it. You said that, I have some ideas."

"Like?"

"For example, maybe we should strengthen the construction of the navy." Liu Ba smiled and said, "The Greeks do business by water, and their influence is limited to the Mediterranean Sea. There is no other reason, and the cost of water transportation is the lowest. Although the commercial routes in the Western Regions are now smooth. , but it takes too long for people to carry horses, and the transportation cost is too high. Moreover, due to the geographical constraints of the Western Regions, there is only so much food that can be provided, and the size of the caravan is limited. If you can go by sea and use ships to carry food, The consumption will be much smaller. Wen Ruo, is it because of this consideration that you admire the star positioning technique?"

Xun Yu smiled. "To tell you the truth, there really isn't one. I highly recommend the technique of pinpointing the stars..." He paused for a moment, then recalled the emperor's expression at that time, and couldn't help feeling chills down his back.After a while, he came back to his senses, and said lightly: "I admire the star positioning technique, but I don't want too many Confucian disciples to set their eyes on the Five Classics. Although the Five Classics are the works of sages, After all, it is only the words of the Tao, not the Tao.”

Chapter 1176

Liu Ba laughed when he heard the words, then turned his eyes to Zhao Shuang who was surrounded by a group of people, and sighed.

"After 300 years, Confucianism will usher in another great change. I don't know who will be the independent leader this time."

Xun Yu felt the same, but not as heavy as Liu Ba. "In the journey of the great way, if you are poor, you will change. If you are poor, you will be successful. If you are familiar, you will last. It is not necessarily a bad thing. As for who can stand alone, what is the difference? "

Liu Ba smacked his lips, took a sip of his wine, and suddenly said with a smile: "This is your Xun family's chance."

"No, this is an opportunity for everyone. Even for the Confucian sect, it is beneficial to break the sect's views. The road is soupy, and all rivers return to the sea. It is an inevitable trend. If you stick to a corner, it will only become a pool of stagnant water. The smell is not good. "

Xun Yu looked serious and spoke resolutely, but his eyes gradually revealed light, sharp and compelling.

Liu Ba pondered and remained silent, as if moved.

After a long time, he raised his glass again. "Brother Wen Ruo is a great talent after all. After a few years, he broke through the wall. Congratulations."

Xun Yu also raised his glass. "Only when it's difficult can you gain deep thinking. Zichu, you and I are originally companions, but there is a sequence of attainment."

Liu Ba laughed. "Although I went first, I came later. Wen Ruo, you don't have to be humble, otherwise it will appear that I have little knowledge."

Xun Yu laughed too, raised his glass and drank it down.

The two refilled their drinks and chatted about other topics.

Maybe it was intentional, maybe it was unintentional, and unconsciously, the topic turned to the disgusting money in front of me.

Because of the great disparity in value, there are many winners of silver coins. As long as you perform a show, even if you participate in a group performance, you can get one.It's not easy to get the golden money. It needs a good show effect and the applause of the crowd.

The person who got the gold coin became the moon that was sought after by all the stars, and the gold coin was also circulated and admired by everyone.

Xun Yu and Liu Ba didn't care about these things, they were more concerned about the impact of gold and silver coins on the economy.

Because the amount of silver is limited, the influence of silver coins is far less than that of gold coins, which is almost negligible.But they have two concerns. One is what problems will arise if a large silver mine is suddenly discovered one day; silver.What kind of impact the promotion of silver coins will have on the southwest region must be considered by the imperial court.

This is the unshirkable responsibility of Situ, who governs the people, and Da Siong, who is directly in charge of the economy.

Xun Yu and Liu Ba will all have the opportunity to be Situ in the future, and Liu Ba is still the current chief minister, so he naturally regards these issues as his job content.

Xun Yu suggested that it is necessary to conduct a survey of the mineral deposits to find out which mineral deposits are available so as not to be caught off guard.

Liu Ba agreed, but then he raised another question.

The mountain and forest minerals were originally owned by Shaofu, that is, the private property of the royal family, and later transferred from Guangwu to Dasinong.This was originally a good thing to use the royal family's private property to make up for the lack of public use by the imperial court, but something went wrong in practice.The royal family's expenditure is getting bigger and bigger, but it has invaded the court's public use, making the Dasinong miserable.

Today, the Son of Heaven, Zhongxing, did not say whether to adjust the attribution of this income, but it is an indisputable fact that the queen is in charge of the Nanyang weaving workshop, and Mrs. Hongnong Wang and several nobles are in charge of the county printing workshop.Whether or not the mountain forest and mineral products that have been assigned to Da Sinong should be returned to the Shaofu has become a problem that Da Sinong must face.

Without solving this problem, it is impossible to talk about the investigation of mineral deposits.

If these are still under the management of Da Si Nong, Da Si Nong has to learn a lesson and restrict the royal family's expenditure, so as not to gain more than the loss.Being frugal today does not mean that the successor will be so frugal.At the beginning, Emperor Guangwu also advocated frugality, but under the second Emperor Huanling, the scale of the harem was too large and too much wealth was consumed, but no one could stop it.

If these things are not under the management of Da Si Nong and have to be returned to the Shaofu, then there is nothing to talk about.

After listening to Liu Ba's words, Xun Yu suddenly stared at Liu Ba with dissatisfaction. "It turns out that Zichu is so eager because he wants me to charge forward."

Liu Ba chuckled. "Wen Ruo, this is not only for me, but also for your future. Besides, because you are not Da Sinong or Situ, it is more suitable to come forward and draw the attention of the emperor."

Xun Yu snorted, noncommittal.

Although he was somewhat displeased with Liu Ba's cunning, he also admitted that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

The economy is fundamental, while the system is the guarantee.If the system problem is not solved first, it is inevitable that there will be problems of improper reputation and unsatisfactory words.During times of war, one can act in a hurry, but when the world is already at peace, the system can be adjusted and standardized, and the system can no longer be done as one pleases.

The behavior of the queen and the nobles' deep participation in the weaving workshop and the printing workshop must be restricted.

The queen's father, Fu Wan, didn't care about things, and he was studying in Chang'an with peace of mind. As the father of Xun Guiren, Xun Yu couldn't sit idly by and let the situation develop.

It is indeed more appropriate for him to negotiate with the emperor than Yang Biao and Liu Ba directly.

Xun Yu thought about it for a while, then nodded his head, agreeing.

Liu Ba was not surprised at all, and stood up long. "I'm going to talk to the planner of Bohai County, do you have anything to take care of?"

He had worked with Xun Yu for a while, and the relationship was irreversible, so he naturally knew the relationship between Chen Qun and Xun Yu.

Xun Yu raised his head, did not answer Liu Ba's question, but looked at the three Yu Fan who had just returned to their seats after talking with the emperor. "Zichu, Yu Zhongxiang's actions are becoming more and more ostentatious. On such an occasion, it's nothing more than supporting Zhao Shuang. Why did he even bring his private disciple?"

Liu Ba glanced at it, but didn't pay attention. "Can you control the affairs of the martial arts hall? The emperor only returned to the government Situ and Sikong, but not to the government Taiwei."

"Zi Chu's words are inappropriate." Xun Yu said seriously, "Although the emperor is simple and easy-going, after all, it is a meeting to watch the year. All the officials are present, and there are also officials from various counties and states. If anyone can come forward to see the emperor, What kind of etiquette is there? The lecture hall is for teaching generals, so we should strictly abide by the etiquette, lest there will be soldiers who respect themselves and despise the imperial court in the future."

Liu Ba smiled. "That's right. Wen Ruo, it's up to you." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xun Yu's answer, he got up and left the hall, and went straight to Chen Qun who was hiding in the corner.Seeing him approaching, the officials of various counties sitting in the yard and corridors changed their colors one after another, fearing that Liu Ba would find them.

Xun Yu shook his head helplessly, but still picked up his wine glass, got up and left the table, and came to Yu Fan's table.

"Jijiu, I offer you a toast, wishing you a happy and healthy New Year."

Yu Fan picked up the wine glass and smiled. "Thank you Xun Yin. But why do I feel that there is a sword spirit between Xun Yin's eyebrows, and the visitor is not kind?"

Xun Yu smiled. "The sword is a gentleman's weapon, and the sacrificial wine is a gentleman from Jiangdong, and he is in charge of the martial arts hall. Why should he be afraid? Could it be that there is something inhumane in his heart?"

Lu Yi and Sun Shangxiang, behind Yu Fan, immediately changed their colors when they heard this.

Sun Shangxiang stood up and was about to explode, but was stopped by Lu Yi in time.

Yu Fan held the wine glass in one hand and stroked his beard with the other, calmly. "Does military count?"

Chapter 1177 Seeing Xian Siqi

Xun Yu was at a loss for words for a while, so it was hard to refute.

"Secrets are of course the priority in military affairs, and wine sacrifices should be the same." Xun Yu changed the subject, and then said, "It's just that I remember that you two students have not yet joined the official ranks, right?"

Yu Fan smiled. "So you came here for them. Xun Yin, this is a challenge." He put down his wine glass and smiled even wider, but there was a bit of fighting spirit in his eyes. "Xun Yin is a successful swordsman, do you want to show off your skills in front of the emperor and earn a piece of money? They are juniors and do not match Xun Yin's status. Although they are not talented, they are willing to talk with Xun Yin."

Xun Yu was taken aback, and quickly smiled wryly: "As expected of the sacrificial wine in the martial arts hall, you are aggressive. Although you practice swords, it is only for strengthening your body. How can you be an opponent of sacrificial wine. Don't dare to make a fool of yourself, don't dare to make a fool of yourself."

Yu Fan looked up to the sky and laughed. "Subduing others without fighting is the highest pursuit of the martial arts hall. Xun Yin just thinks that I am aggressive, but he can still talk freely. It seems that my practice is not enough. Ashamed, ashamed."

Everyone in the hall was silent because of Liu Ba, but now they heard Yu Fan's loud laugh, and immediately turned their eyes.Even Liu Xie and others in the hall looked over, not knowing what Yu Fan and Xun Yu said, so that Yu Fan showed his sharpness when he spoke like this.

But everyone could hear that just now the two seemed to be toasting, but in reality it was a confrontation, and Xun Yu lost.

It's just that Yu Fan still has something to say, and he doesn't feel happy.

Liu Ba had already walked to Chen Qun's side. Hearing Yu Fan's laugh, he secretly shed tears of sympathy for Xun Yu.

Who are you not to provoke, but to provoke Yu Fan?

Even if it is to argue with the emperor, it is better than to compete with Yu Fan.Who doesn't know that Yu Fan is a crazy student, and he is both civil and military, and he never saves face for others.

Only the Son of Heaven can take care of the affairs of the Martial Arts Hall, and if anyone else asks a question, it may touch Yu Fan's back.

Unless you can defeat him first.

Looking at the world, the scholars who can defeat Yu Fan in martial arts may not be able to use up one hand.

Fortunately, I ran fast and was not dragged into the water by Xun Yu.

At this moment, Xun Yu was really embarrassed, in a dilemma.

He didn't expect Yu Fan to be so shameless and force him into a corner in front of so many people, without any room for maneuver.

This is where the demeanor that a scholar should have is simply more martial than a martial artist.
