Chapter 714 Reading for the Rise of Yan Han
"Please."
Under the leadership of Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping, Liu Cheng, Li Yang and Zhang Min walked along the corridor and entered the backyard.
The backyard is different from the front yard. There are many officials in the front yard and many guards. There are also many guards in the back yard, but there are also more female relatives.
Liu Cheng, Li Yang and Zhang Min are all gentlemen. They quickly looked straight, lowered their heads slightly, and walked with the two people in front of them.
The three of them were all a little excited.
They had never met Wu Nian, and they knew that Wu Nian rarely saw outsiders over the years. Speaking of which, Wu Nian's daily life was comparable to that of the Taoist emperor.
Live in the deep palace (house) and appoint major matters to high officials.
However, the result of the two was completely different, which was a strange thing.
In the Chu State, corrupt officials were rampant, and most of the military generals were just a substitute.
In Liaodong, the water is absolutely clear, but very clear.
This general of the auxiliary Han Dynasty is really a legendary figure.
Not long after, under the leadership of Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping, the three of them entered the warm pavilion and met the legendary General of the Supplementary Han.
"General." Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping calmly bowed to Wu Nian.
The three of them were quite calm and bowed to Wu Nian, calling them "General."
"No gifts. Sit." Wu Young nodded lightly, not as fierce as a military general, and looked at the strong and powerful nobleman. He raised his hand to let everyone sit down, and then ordered the maid beside him to go down and make tea.
Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping were very calm, while the three of them only sat half of their butts.
All three of them respected Wu Nian very much, and they did not target Wu Nian. They thought it was the villain around Wu Nian, so they came to "clear the emperor's side".
Moreover, Wu Nian is indeed strong in aura and occupies a complete dominance.
Wu Nian didn't speak, and they didn't dare to speak. Then Wu Nian spoke first and met the three of them.
After a while, the maid brought the teacup. Wu Nian and everyone drank tea.
The three of them frowned slightly, this tea was not very good.
Wu Nian raised his head and said with a smile: "You have never drunk this tea? This is the wild camellia tea from my hometown. I heard that I like this, and my fellow villagers will send you some every year."
It is difficult to hide what kind of temperament a person standing on the table.
Wu Nian is a nostalgic person, and this is not a secret in Liaodong. Wu Nian met Li Yong, Tie Niu, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and others at Weimo.
Although these people are all talented people, they are willing to learn after they are rich and become talented, and they are really talented. Li Yong was one of the three major officials and did things in a proper manner and did not make any mistakes.
Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng lead the troops diligently, and Tien Niu has outstanding martial arts skills.
One Li Yong is irreplaceable. But Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and Tieniu are not talked about in the entire Liaodong, but there are also many.
But no one can shake their status.
Wu Nian was brave and good at fighting, led by example, and was able to win battles. He was able to appoint state affairs to Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, and Wang Youxiao.
It is nostalgia to be able to share wealth with Li Yong, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Tie Niu and others.
Wu Nian was cruel to the outside world and generous to the inside.
It's really personal.
"The general's love for the old sword is deep, and I admire it." Li Yang took a deep breath, put down the teacup, and said seriously.
"It's just a cup of tea. Sir, he is so serious." Wu Nian waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Everyone, I think you are anxious, so let's get to the point. I know that the people in the school are talking about it, saying that there are villains around me and bad ideas. I will give orders to do these things. I can tell you clearly now. Wu Nian has a very positive idea. I will stop me from doing things I want to do, and I will do things I don't want to do even if someone asks me to do them."
"The official school affairs are my own idea."
"You should believe me."
After a pause, Wu Nian smiled and said with a smile. His attitude was still calm, but his tone was a little arrogant and decisive.
A man is a real man, one person does things and one person does things.
I, Wu Nian, will not use my subordinates to block the gun, this is what I did.
This really went beyond the expectations of Liu Cheng, Li Yang and Zhang Min. If there is a bad idea given by a villain, it would be easy to deal with.
But this matter was actually Wu Nian's own idea.
This is not easy to deal with.
As for whether or not to believe Wu Nian's words.
That's even simpler.
Putting aside Wu Nian's prestige and reputation, you will know that this is true just by looking at Wu Nian's tone, expression, Li Yang and Zhang Min, two knowledgeable Confucian scholars.
"Why do the general do this?" The three of them looked at each other and pondered in their hearts for a long time before Li Yang bowed and said.
"I think Confucianism is good, but it is missing something. Well, how to say it? It is a little empty."
"And, with the changes of time and with the changes of the current situation, the classics of the Spring and Autumn Period may not be suitable for the present."
"There is another point. Confucian classics are written in classical Chinese. At that time, bamboo slips were expensive, so people ate the words. It made future generations suffer. People can explain countless explanations in one sentence based on the classics left by saints and sages."
"A smart person can't understand the classics even after spending his whole life. The so-called imperial examination is to extract a paragraph, a few words and do the questions from these classics."
"After high school, scholars may not even understand the cost of food, rice, oil and salt. What's the point?"
Wu Nian shook his head and said.
Li Yang, Liu Cheng, and Zhang Min frowned together. Wu Nian was right, this is the situation of scholars now.
After a lifetime of hard work, I spent all my energy and went around in these classics.
It is said that since ancient times, heroes have interpreted poetry.
Although the general was born in the army and was a military general, he looked at the problem thoroughly.
"The general is right. But the classics teach scholars. The principles of dealing with people and the ways to govern the world. Manage the family, govern the country and pacify the world."
Li Yang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"I don't deny this. The Confucian classics have set the backbone of scholars. I have also discussed this with Lord Liu. For example, the current world of Chu is very chaotic, but there are always good officials. For example, the previous governor of Liaodong, Wu Jing, and you all. Some people are struggling to move forward in this dark world, wanting to change something."
"Someone is alone in keeping with corrupt officials and not engaging in conjunction with corrupt officials."
"I don't believe in ghosts and gods. But I don't deny that Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the three religions are united. It establishes the spiritual world and morality of our Han people."
"But morality cannot be used as a food. I heard that some scholars were sent to the local area after high school. They didn't know anything, and were united by local officials and were undermined."
"There are also scholars who don't know anything. They hire Shaoxing's ranks to specialize in the affairs of the yamen."
"What are the uses of these scholars? The law can handle cases. History books can learn from history and learn from rise and fall. Calculation can train intelligence and understand account books. Isn't this very good?"
“Why not learn?”
"Reading. You cannot read books until you die. A scholar cannot be a waste, but must be a useful scholar."
"I have a saying I give to you, and you will convey it to scholars who came to Jiang County for this matter."
"A person with truly ideals and ambitions should [study for the rise of Yan Han]."
"There is another saying. Civil officials are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death. Why worry about the unrest of the Yan Han? "
"I founded the Imperial College and the Sun Zijian. It was not the Chu State that I studied. But I had my own ideals."
"In the end, my attitude is also very tough."
