Sun Shi's study is the largest building in his house, and other buildings are far from comparable to it. The two-story building that was originally supposed to belong to his daughter's home, which is a boudoir-like building, is filled with various books.
.
Needless to say, this is used to prevent mildew and moth, but when Ye An saw the books inside, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him. Xuehaishushan is really not an adjective. The spacious second floor is almost occupied by all kinds of books.
There were piles of books of all kinds, some of which were probably single copies and were specially wrapped in tarpaulin.
Looking at the books here, Sun Shi's eyes were quite complex. They were full of gentleness like treating children, but there was also a trace of fear of the unknown deep in his eyes. This is the expression that a scholar should have, Ye An
I've seen it.
Gently stroking these books, Sun Shi slowly said: "O Changsheng! Do you know why Confucianism has been inherited to this day?"
Ye An was stunned for a moment, and then in a habitual tone, he cupped his fists and raised his hands in the direction of Shandong: "Of course it is the teachings of saints that enlighten people's wisdom, teach the world with benevolence, and rule all nations..."
"You kid......"
Sun Shi smiled bitterly and pointed at Ye An, interrupting his meaningless compliment: "I have heard about the content of your lectures to the officials. In fact, you are incompatible with Confucianism! It is not the orthodox inheritance of my Confucianism, nor is it the family of all generations.
, even a miscellaneous family cannot compare with your family education, your family education...how can I say it?"
He took a breath with a doubtful tone and stared at Ye An for a long time, as if he wanted to see through his heart, liver, spleen and lungs.
"Hiss... It's so weird that I can't explain it, but I can say that what you taught the officials is indeed mysterious and extraordinary. It was only after I calculated in detail that I discovered the mystery of "compound interest". You
It is really wonderful to use this method of numerology to persuade the housekeeper to study and learn!"
Ye An smiled slightly, crossed his hands and saluted: "Sir, you are overly complimentary. It is not Ye An's fault, but the benefit of his family education!"
Sun Shi's gray eyebrows suddenly raised and he pointed at Ye An and said: "Yes, it's like this. It seems that he always holds the pearl of wisdom and always stands on the wise words! Your confidence and grace are extraordinary.
Ordinary scholars can have this, even if I have been immersed in Confucianism for many years, I would not dare to be sure when I lecture, but you can have such confidence!"
Ye An was slightly startled: "Sir, have you heard of Ye An's lectures?"
Huh... Sun Shi breathed out and nodded slightly: "I've seen you a few times, and every time I'm surprised by your knowledge. Originally, you said you could teach officials and emperors the ways, but I didn't believe it.
All dynasties are different, the national conditions of each dynasty are different, and even the life circumstances of each king are different. Maybe your family education is suitable for a certain emperor, but it may not be suitable for the current Song Dynasty..."
Ye An felt like his heart was shaking. He looked at the old man in front of him in horror. He was indeed a thief because he was too old to die. This old guy was so powerful! The world was actually seen so clearly in his eyes that even the primitive dialectics came out.
, Damn it, are these great scholars all monsters?!
"But your family education seems to be correct no matter when and where it is placed. But I am curious, what kind of family education can divide a country and dynasty so clearly? There are both visible and invisible things.
Thinking about it, just the culture you mentioned can be extended a little bit. You said culture is the spirit of the country, and it is the unity of thought from the emperor to the common people. I didn't like it at first, and even sneered at it. Later,
Savor it carefully, but it makes some sense, today you have to explain it clearly to me!"
After saying this, Sun Shi sat down on the small stool and immediately invited him with his bare hands.
Looking at the small stool in front of him, Ye An felt as if he had returned to the scene of the thesis defense, and he felt awkward for a moment.
In front of this kind of old man who has seen through the world and can learn and apply knowledge and knowledge, he is like a newly born child. At this time, he realizes the horror of scholars in this era. They no longer live in red tape and turn knowledge into
Use them as swords and plowshares.
This skeptical attitude, cautious dialectics, respect and thirst for knowledge are exactly the same as those of later generations.
"Shang Jun said: "If the people are weak, the country will be strong, and if the country is strong, the people will be weak. Therefore, the state affairs of a righteous country depend on weakening the people. Simplicity will lead to weakness, immorality will lead to strength; weakness will lead to the track, and immorality will lead to the ambition; weak will be useful, and the ambition will be greater.
powerful!"
Laozi said: "In ancient times, those who were good at governing did not make the people enlightened, but kept them ignorant. The people were difficult to govern because they were wise. Therefore, if you govern the country with wisdom, you will be a thief of the country; if you do not govern the country with wisdom, you will be a blessing to the country!"
Confucius said: "The people can be guided by it, but cannot be made aware of it." Legalists, Taoists, and Confucians all regard the wisdom of the people as stupidity to benefit the country. Why does Changsheng say that education should be spread widely and the wisdom of the people should be gathered to strengthen the country?!
"
As soon as Sun Shi's question came up, Ye An knew something about it. It was a discussion about the policy of obscuring the people, and it was also Sun Shi's confusion about his own promotion of cultural education. Of course, it also touched on the core issue of the dynasty's management.
This was not a defense, but a discussion. In fact, Ye An did not know that every lesson he taught to the little emperor, and even his actions and every move, were all told to Sun Shi by Liu E.
Liu E also felt that this young man was too weird, and he couldn't explain what was weird. Every sentence was correct, but once it was completely connected, it was paradoxical. It was completely different from what the world thought and made people unpredictable.
The only way is to ask for help from a real master like Sun Shi, a person with rich experience and profound knowledge to analyze and figure out Ye An.
After Sun Shi saw Ye An's words, deeds, thoughts, theories, and knowledge, he became very interested in him, so Ye An's visit to deliver the wedding invitation became a good opportunity for Sun Shi to "torture" him face to face.
The old servant in green clothes and small hat came and took a surprised look at the "pig head" sitting upright, then placed a tea set between him and Mrs. Sun. The tea was as clear as water and the tea had a gentle and sweet fragrance.
"A pot of warm tea is relaxing in winter. Now I only drink clear tea. It feels very comfortable! How about you try this tea?"
Sun Shi enthusiastically invited Ye An to taste tea, but what surprised Ye An was the skill of the old servant next to him. Two pine cones were thrown into the small red clay stove, and a scent of rosin lingered in the small room.
The old servant quickly brewed the tea, and even the rules for pouring out the first tea were exactly the same. It was very similar to his own method of brewing tea, and it was even neater.
At this time, Ye An felt vaguely that every move he made was in the eyes of the Tian family, and every word and deed was recorded. He still underestimated this era and the wisdom of this era too much!
"This is the medicinal wine at home. It can be used externally for bruises and internally for conditioning. It is the method left by my master Wang Che. You look really ugly. Don't be so aggressive in the future. It is not a good thing to anger the Liao people. Beating them in the street
It’s you who suffers from the fight!”
Good guy... This is pure "protectionism". I just suffered some superficial injuries, but the other party even lost his life and still suffered a loss? If the envoys of the Liao Dynasty heard these words, they would be seriously injured.
I was so angry that I was half dead.
From beginning to end, the old gentleman did not mention the Daxiangguo Temple and the difficulties Ye An was facing now. Instead, he handed the medicinal wine sent by the old servant to Ye An and looked at Ye An's rotten peach eyes with emotion.
"This little injury is nothing. I will thank you sir forever."
You know your own body. The sixteen-year-old body recovers the fastest and is in the best condition. After reaching the Song Dynasty, eating and drinking are nutritionally balanced. The feeling is most obvious after a fight.
