Xuanyi raised his head and saw that the door of the mansion was not closed. The three words "Prince Tang's Mansion" were written generously on the plaque. Xuanyi was restless and looked carefully for a long time before he saw the words between the words.

The two words on it are, den of thieves!

When Tingwei learned that King Tang owned his own mansion, he knew that he was in for a big deal.

Sure enough, Dang Xuanyi quickly captured several "criminals" from the Tang palace.

Xia Houzao was particularly angry. He shouted: "I helped clear the snow on the street. This is a righteous deed! You don't come to reward us, but you still want to arrest us. The reward and punishment are unknown! I will definitely tell my father and let him take care of himself."

Treat you!"

Xuanyi glanced at him and said, "I don't care if you sweep the snow, but if you pile the snow outside the gate of Cao's mansion, so that Mr. Cao can only climb over the wall to check, that's your problem."

"I want to see my father!"

"The person who asked me to come here to arrest people is your father... Your father is currently clearing snow in Cao Mansion and personally apologizes to Prime Minister Cao."

Fan and his wife asked with some displeasure: "He blocked the door of Cao's house, so you just arrest him. We were just skating and didn't block anyone's door. Why do we have to arrest him too?"

"I don't care about you skating with Lu Lu, but if you sprinkle water in front of Jiancheng Hou's house and skate there, I will have to catch you... That means Jiancheng Hou is in good health... otherwise Lu Ze will become a

It’s time to become a Marquis…”

"Ah? Father fell down?"

Lu Lu's eyes widened.

Xuanyi looked at Zhang Yan again and sighed helplessly, "Why do you want to hang out with them? You are the one who makes snow, and you are the one who skates... Come with me."

Zhang Yan was not like these people. He was inexperienced. His face was full of fear. He looked at Liu Chang and shouted: "Uncle, save me!"

Liu Chang waved his little hand, "Don't be afraid, I will ask Luan Bu to catch you later! No one dares to do anything to you... Duke Xuan, my son is weak, and my eldest sister is with the Queen Mother."

, if you hurt him, I’m afraid the court captain will have to be replaced!”

Xuanyi stared at Liu Chang coldly and asked everyone: "If you tell the truth, I can let you go. The King of Tang was also involved in these things, right?"

"No! I did it all by myself!"

Mr. Fan was the first to shout. After him, everyone also shouted. Zhang Yan was stunned and hurriedly said: "This has nothing to do with my uncle! If you want to punish me, punish me!"

Xuan Moru also shouted: "Yes, we will never betray the king!"

Xuanyi glared at him and said, "Come here, take this Zhuzi back to me too!!"

Half of the sages were captured, but Liu Chang did not panic. He was already an expert in this area. He was familiar with everyone from court officers to soldiers, so he asked Luan Bu to help call people as usual.

, letting the rest of the talents go home, Liu Chang chatted with Ji Bu about the arrangements of the Mohists.

While they were chatting, Zhang Buyu led a group of people to the Tang Palace.

These people are the Mohists and Confucians who were originally in Shangfang.

Liu Chang stood up with a smile and asked old Qin Mo to sit aside. He was very polite, but Chen Tao and others just stood there, shivering with cold.

Liu Chang looked at them with disdain, "I heard that when the great masters of the Mohist family took the Mohists to give lectures, they also wore thin clothes and no shoes in winter, just like the common people, who were not afraid of the cold. Now you are still wearing winter clothes,

Why can’t you even withstand this cold wind?”

Chen Tao gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty, we are Chu Mo... Chu people!"

"Oh, I understand what you mean. Chu Mo is the weakest, so he can't bear it..."

"I..." Chen Tao was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Forget it, let's go into the inner room!"

Liu Chang waved his hand and led everyone into the inner room. Everyone sat on both sides. Liu Chang then asked: "Chen Tao? I heard that another group of Chu Mo has arrived. Are they also your people?"

Chen Tao said helplessly: "Your Majesty... these people heard that we were trapped in Chang'an, so they came to rescue us... After I explained, they stayed."

"It doesn't matter whether you stay or not. Judging from what you have done recently, you Chu Mo are not without merit. If you can change your past, perhaps the Mo family will have a chance to revive in the Tang Dynasty."

This was what Chen Tao was waiting for, and he hurriedly stepped forward to thank him.

The reason why Chen Tao and others stayed for so long was certainly not because of Liu Chang's simple provoking method. The main reason was because the Mo family was lonely. Basically no nobles could look up to the Mo family. Qi Mo disappeared completely, and Qin Mo followed.

Qin fell and became a criminal, and Chu and Mo also gradually disappeared.

The King of Tang was the only one who valued the Mo family. He rescued many imprisoned Qin Mo and even sent some Qin Mo to give lectures in the Tang Kingdom. Naturally, Chu Mo did not want to miss such an opportunity.

Zhang Buyi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, two people came to Shangfang Villa last night, claiming to be able to help your Majesty improve farm tools."

"Oh? Where are the people?"

After Liu Chang asked, two people stood up and saluted Liu Chang. These two people had dark skin, were young, and had ordinary looks. They did not seem to have any talents.

"Zhao Li pays homage to the king!"

"Ren Zhao? Can you improve farm tools?"

The man who spoke raised his head and said with a smile: "I am a farmer. I am proficient in calculations and know how to improve farm tools."

Liu Chang was shocked. Of course he knew about the peasant family. It was also one of the hundreds of schools of thought, and its vitality was extremely tenacious. This school has not declined because it has never risen at all. It belongs to the kind of people who are neither good nor bad, but have always existed.

It has never been as prominent as the Mohist family, but even though the Mohist family is gone, they still exist.

"What? Farmer!"

At that moment, several Confucian scholars sitting on the right side suddenly jumped up and yelled: "Traitors who violate the order of superiors and inferiors!"

When hundreds of schools of thought argue, Confucianism and Mohism are always at odds with each other, and they fight each other when they meet. But Confucianism and the peasants are even more difficult to get along with. The relationship is extremely bad, so bad that the two sides basically fight when they meet, and there is no room for relaxation.

Liu Chang didn't care, and said with a smile: "Farmer? Okay, I am short of talents in this field! If you don't go to Tang State, why do you come directly to me?"

"Well... Prime Minister Zhang is a Confucian..." Zhao Li mentioned it vaguely, and then said: "What's more, I am related to the king."

"You and I are related?"

Liu Chang's face was full of confusion, Zhao Li said hurriedly: "I am the Hengshan Zhending Zhao... and the king..."

"Absurd!" Ji Bu suddenly interrupted him and said seriously: "My king's ancestral home is Peixian County. He was born in Chang'an and has never been related to Zhao."

Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and hurriedly leaned over and said: "I remembered it wrong, mainly because I was worried that Prime Minister Zhang would not take him in, so I came here."

Unlike the Mohists, farmers have always been active in various places. There are also many farmers in various vassal states. They will adopt the farmers' techniques, but they will not listen to their political ideas. Why? Because the farmers propose that everyone must do it themselves.

, abundant food and clothing, they followed the example of Shen Nong and others, and wanted the monarchs and ministers to stop taxing the people and let them farm and feed themselves.

Therefore, Confucians believe that they want the king and his ministers to farm the land. Confucianism is retro and wants to go back to the era of Yao and Shun. However, these people directly want to return to primitive society. The king and ministers work on the farmland together. It is simply useless.

Extremely polite!

Then why did they survive during the Qin Dynasty and were not persecuted by the First Emperor?

Because in addition to this political idea, farmers also have a political idea of ​​farming and war. They encourage the development of agricultural production and study agricultural production issues, and are quite accomplished in this area. This coincides with the Qin Dynasty's philosophy of governing the country. The Qin Dynasty finally

What matters most is farming and fighting, so they have survived to this day.

Then why can they continue to live in Dahan without declining?

That's because the Han Dynasty... ahem, learned lessons from the demise of the Qin Dynasty and absorbed a small part of its political philosophy, which happened to include farming and war. Coincidence, it's a complete coincidence!

Confucianism pays attention to etiquette, law, hierarchy, etc., but farmers want to abolish hierarchy, basically saying that everyone is equal, and everyone must work in the fields and support themselves. Confucianism emphasizes benevolent government, but farmers say that farming is for war, and war is for farming. Confucianism emphasizes harmony.

However, the peasants felt that Yao and Shun had set a precedent for the rulers to be indifferent and persecute the people... The two parties could not be regarded as loving each other, but could be regarded as fighting to the death.

Therefore, almost the moment they learned the identity of the other party, the Confucian scholars became furious and almost wanted to fight with them.

Liu Chang smiled and asked the man to sit next to him.

Ji Bu lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Are you really from Ding? Oops, not many people know this place! I heard that the people here are strong and fierce. Hundreds of years from now, there will definitely be strong generals here!"

Zhao Li said nothing, but said: "I know a little about farming methods, and I saw new farm tools made by the king in Tang Dynasty... Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Zhao Li took out the design drawing from his arms. Liu Chang picked it up and looked at it carefully. The design drawing was very simple. It was an improvement on the plow made by Liu Chang. Liu Chang looked at it for a moment.

Asked: "Is this using a plow to sow seeds?"

"Yes, this is what I did after seeing the king's plow..."

Zhao Li explained his thinking, and Liu Chang was very happy to hear it, while the Confucian scholars in the distance couldn't sit still.

"King!"

"Don't fall for the villain's tricks!"

"How can a thief who violates the order of the peasant family sit at the table with the king?!"

It was Mencius who first sounded the clarion call to attack farmers. After Mencius, Confucian scholars did not let go of their grievances and continued to attack farmers. In history, by the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucianism finally won a comprehensive victory, and farmers withdrew from the stage of history.

Liu Chang glanced at the Confucian scholars and asked: "If you don't like the peasants, you have proved that you are more useful than the peasants. Why do you still rely on the help of a few people? At the beginning, a hundred schools of thought contended and everyone came to prove their own school. Only then did they emerge.

Out of all the sages, since you hate farmers, why don’t you go out and prove it?”

“It’s better to use the standards of one’s own school to accuse farmers than to defeat them in what they are good at!”

"The same goes for you farmers. Don't think that I will help you or support you. I am the most just person and will never be partial. You have to prove yourself before you can find a way out in the Tang Dynasty!"

"only!"

Zhao Li agreed quickly. The Confucian scholars blushed and naturally agreed hastily.
