Fan Ziyuan has been thinking about one thing. His colleague Yunzhong Junhou. It can be said that he has been thinking about this young man since he met Ye An, but he has never been able to figure it out.
Today he specially invited his second uncle to come and "advise" him.
Fan Yong sat on the seat and looked at Fan Ziyuan indifferently. This boy was the only child of the old Fan family. His own son was unsatisfactory and had no outstanding academic achievements. Only the word loyalty was slightly outstanding, but Fan Yong knew very well that loyalty was the key to loyalty.
You can't stay in the court anymore, you may be praised by others, but the last thing you need in the court is loyalty!
People who are too loyal can even be pedantic. The longer you stay in court, the more you realize the uselessness of the word loyalty!
Although his younger brother passed away early, his nephew was a smart child. Fan Ziyuan's current status is not only due to his help in the court, but also due to his own ability.
Fan Yong was once proud. There were not many young people of the same age as Fan Ziyuan in this court, and there were even fewer people with his status and ability. This made him very happy.
But Ye An, a "monster" young man, appeared. At first Fan Yong thought he was Fan Ziyuan's rival, but now it seems that Fan Ziyuan doesn't even have a chance to be his rival.
Ye An rarely comes to ask for help from him or his gentlemen. You must know that Sun Shi's personal relationship with Wang Yuan and Ye An is not bad. That is to say, Ye An has been very busy recently, otherwise he often goes to seek knowledge.
Taoist.
This kid is so special, he is different from almost all the young talents he said he has seen. He is like a cunning old fox in the court, and he can even see the shadows of Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian in him.
But after all, he is a young man, and there is not so much hesitation, but only a calmness after careful consideration. This is the most rare thing.
"Second uncle, do you think this Ye An can bring more than a hundred volumes of agricultural books today?"
Fan Yong raised his eyebrows and looked at Fan Ziyuan, who had a strange expression on his face. "Don't you know whether he can keep his word? When has this kid ever failed to promise something? I know this from experience in Huanzhou.
Beyond his ability, do you know that all the armies in Huanzhou have been issued a silence order, and no one is allowed to talk about the Battle of Qingpingguan, the victory at Hulukou, let alone Ye An's methods, do you know why this is?"
Fan Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, nephew, but is there something hidden in the battle around Huanzhou?"
Fan Yong sighed slightly, looked at the sun that was gradually turning to the west, hesitated for a long time, and then said in a long voice: "This son is extraordinary. It is the best thing to be a friend with him. It would be unthinkable to become an enemy with him... Remember, remember, remember
!”
Fan Ziyuan didn't know why his second uncle would say such things, and he could see an indescribable fear in his eyes, as if something terrible had happened at Qingping Pass and Hulukou.
Since the second uncle didn't say anything, Fan Ziyuan couldn't ask further questions. He knew Ye An's methods and abilities. Fan Ziyuan didn't believe that a book could be printed in just one day. A book with thousands of words could be printed just by engraving it.
It takes two days or even three days. Where can he carve it?
Fan Yong looked at his nephew, saw his confusion and smiled: "Do you know what the saint values Ye An most?"
"It will be a meritorious service to present good seeds to the court, and you will be able to serve in the military if you have outstanding abilities!"
"Is that all?"
"Is this so good?!" Fan Ziyuan looked at Fan Yong with some surprise and said: "Second uncle, you are well-informed and have been in the court for many years. How can such achievements be achieved by a young man?"
Fan Yong chuckled: "Where did the improved seeds come from? If such high-yielding crops were discovered in my Han family, wouldn't they have been discovered long ago? Can we wait until now? But the military affairs... The military affairs are the family among the generals.
Do you think you can use it properly after reading a few military books and art of war? There are countless regulations, rules, and strategies in it, but how did Ye An know about it? I'm not afraid to tell you, even Cao Yi wanted to listen to it in Huanzhou
When he called, did he really think that the second uncle was strategizing behind the scenes? The second uncle was just a cover. Although he was also used to sit in charge of Huanzhou, to be honest, it was Ye Anzai who planned everything."
Fan Ziyuan finally learned some of the secrets of the court. He was extremely shaken for a moment and looked at Fan Yong blankly and said: "My nephew originally thought that Ye An was just lucky, but he didn't expect that he has such amazing talent and brilliant knowledge."
Fan Yong chuckled and said, "Then think about it, where does Ye An's talents come from?"
"Where did it come from?" Fan Ziyuan was asked for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly woke up, raised his head and looked at Fan Yong and said: "The study of studying things! The study of studying things?! The sage also valued his Ye An's study of studying things! Whether it is a good breed or a good seed,
His talent and knowledge, and even his businessmanship, are inseparable from his study of things!"
Fan Yong nodded happily: "If Zongjie was half as good as you, I would have nothing else to ask for! That's right, it's the study of objects, Ye An's family study! You can't beg for this, buy it, or steal it.
, I can only invite you here! Do you think I can master the knowledge that even officials are learning?"
"So, everything comes from Ye An's family studies? Is this study of things really so magical? Ye An often said that he belongs to the Confucian school and comes from a branch of Confucianism..."
"After all, it's just a trick!" Fan Yong interrupted Fan Ziyuan's words without hesitation, and looked at the door with a slight sigh: "It is said that the study of things belongs to Confucianism, but if you understand, you will find that this is not the case!
"
Fan Ziyuan nodded: "My nephew also feels that the study of studying things is very different from Confucianism, and they are not the same category at all!"
"Are the two unrelated? If you think so, you are wrong! Big mistake!" Fan Yong suddenly became excited, even his voice was hysterical, which shocked Fan Ziyuan.
Fan Yong stood up slowly and walked in the flower hall, walking back and forth a little anxiously. Fan Ziyuan knew that this was his second uncle's habit. If he was unsure about something big, he would be like a donkey on a millstone. This was not what he said.
, but something my grandfather often said when he was still alive.
When his father was still alive, he once said that his second uncle was most like his grandfather, and he was expected to become another prime minister of the Fan family after the great ancestor Fan Renshu.
Even his second uncle was so suspicious of the study of objects. Fan Ziyuan couldn't help but said: "Uncle, what do you mean?"
Fan Yong did not answer, but looked at the door of the inner courtyard. Fan Ziyuan looked around and saw Ye An coming with his servants. The servants were as strong as calves dragging a large box. There were several small boxes under the box.
The wheels rolled on the ground with a clicking sound.
Fan Ziyuan rushed out. At this time, he didn't care about what Fan Yong had just said. He just wanted to see if the box contained the agricultural book that he and Ye An had agreed upon before. If it was really a book... then...
