Chen Yuan also had some guesses about the reasons for the world's regression.
Mostly because there are too many detached people, taking away too much of the aura and origin of the world.
These people have taken away the aura and origin of the world without replenishing it. In this way, the world will instinctively limit the quality and quantity of practitioners.
To put it bluntly, I did it all by myself, no one else is to blame.
Chen Yuan now feels that his trip was indeed worthwhile.
The collection of books in Dongguan is of great use to me and is of great help to my understanding of the world.
In addition to the History Collection, there is also the Sutra Collection.
Chen Yuan gained a lot from the four major categories of Classics and History.
One thing to say is that I have to thank my predecessor for his academic skills, otherwise Chen Yuan still wouldn’t be able to understand it.
You know, there are no books in this era that can be read.
The most I can do is put a dot to indicate it. There are no commas, exclamation points or book titles.
It took Chen Yuan a long time to get used to it.
Fortunately, under the vigorous promotion of Chen Yuan in Jingzhou, many people have begun to use sentence reading.
Anyone who is successful in reading is not a fool, and they can naturally see the benefits of sentence reading.
Of course, there are some people who oppose it.
The reason is actually very simple, because once they use sentence reading, they can no longer misinterpret the scriptures of sages.
Why do people read the same book, or even the same article, with different meanings?
Because there are no sentences to read, readers can understand the meaning of the scriptures according to their own wishes.
This is the so-called Six Classics Notes on Me.
The most typical one is the saying that people can make it but cannot make it known.
Because there is no sentence reading, five types of sentence fragmentation are derived.
First, the people can follow it; they cannot know it.
We can let the common people follow the path guided by us. There is no need to let them know why. Why? "The Analects of Confucius" only has one explanation: "People can use it daily but cannot know it." The "Analects of Confucius" explains it as "The way of the saint is far-reaching.
It’s not easy for people to know”.
The second is that if the people can do it, let them do it; if it can't, let them know it.
In the Analects of Confucius, the previous sentence of this sentence is, Confucius said: "Prosperous in poetry, established in etiquette, and achieved in music." Confucius's previous and following sentences mean that these three things, poetry, etiquette, and music, are the basis for educating the people, and they must be
We must do a good job. If the people have mastered poetry, rituals and music, fine, let them play freely. If the people still can't play, we must educate them and let them know and understand.
The third is that if the people can do it, they can do it; if they can’t do it, they should know it.
If the common people can be envoys, let them obey orders; if they cannot be envoys, let them be sensible. Or if someone can be an envoy (has the conditions and ability to be an envoy), he should be granted privileges and let him have full authority to handle matters.
Do not impose too many restrictions; if he does not meet the conditions, you should tell him where he is lacking and where he needs to improve.
The fourth is that the people can make it happen, but they cannot follow it; let the people know it
If the people can be controlled, laissez-faire will not work, they must be guided
Fifth, can the people follow it? No. Can they know it?
"Confucius said, can the people just leave things alone? No. We still need to educate them.
Did you see that this simple sentence can explain five different meanings?
Of course, some people with ulterior motives call this kind of small talk but in fact they are monopolizing knowledge, and the power of interpretation belongs to them.
Now with sentence reading, this ambiguity will no longer arise.
This will undoubtedly increase the cost of knowledge monopoly and raise the threshold of knowledge monopoly.
Of course, the practical condition for the implementation of sentence reading in Jingzhou is the improvement of papermaking technology, which has led to the emergence of a large amount of paper, which is not only cheap but also of good quality.
Only then can the sentence reading be promoted.
The main reason why the ancients did not invent sentence reading was to save money.
Carving words on bamboo slips is very troublesome.
Three days passed by in a flash, and Chen Yuan did not waste any time.
Thanks to the strength of his spiritual soul, Chen Yuan didn't rest even a day in the past three days. He was completely immersed in Dongguan, absorbing all kinds of knowledge hungrily.
The same is true for Guo Jia, such an opportunity will not come again in a short time.
This further strengthened Chen Yuan's determination to protect Dongguan.
Such treasures must not be damaged. Since I came to this world, I will not allow anyone to damage these treasures.
If anyone dares to touch the books in Dongguan, Chen Yuan will definitely make him die miserably.
To put it bluntly, no one or thing at that time could compare to the collection of books in Dongguan.
The Dongguan collection of books can be called the epitome of Chinese civilization, with too many things that have been lost to later generations.
To give a simple example, since the time of Emperor He, famous Confucian scholars such as Ban Zhao, Liu Zhen, Li You, Liu Yi, Bian Shao, Cui Shi, Fu Wuji, Cai Yong, etc. have successively been ordered to compile the history of the country in Dongguan.
, which lasted for more than a hundred years, widely used the archives and classics of this dynasty, and successively compiled 143 chapters of "Han Ji". Later, it was severely damaged by Dong Zhuo's rebellion.
If this "Han Ji" can be preserved, then future generations will have the most direct basis for studying the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
I don’t know how detailed it is compared to later Han books.
There are only a few chapters in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty is basically compiled based on this damaged Han Ji.
Although Chen Yuan and Guo Jia didn't want to leave, the emperor only gave them three days, so they couldn't leave without leaving.
Chen Yuan and Guo Jiayi walked out of the Dongguan gate reluctantly, and left with Han Shao's meaningful smile.
On the way, Guo Jia finally couldn't help but said: "Military advisor, can we build a library like this in Xiangyang in the future?"
Chen Yuan smiled: "Why, haven't you enjoyed watching it?"
Guo Jia nodded: "Of course I'm not satisfied. The collection of books here is really rich. There are many books that I have only heard of and never seen before. I finally got a glimpse of them. I can only say that they are well-deserved."
Chen Yuan looked back at Dongguan, which was hidden among the forest trees, and said meaningfully: "Dongguan may not be able to become Xiangyang."
After saying that, regardless of whether Guo Jia could understand the meaning, he strode forward.
The main purpose of this trip to Luoyang is not to view the East, but to appreciate the Tiantai. The priorities cannot be reversed.
By the way, there is also a target for me to kill Zuo Feng.
However, Jian Tiantai and his party still have to wait for news from the emperor, so Chen Yuan and others can only kill time in the post house for the time being.
Chen Yuan did not go out to recruit talents.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s mainly that I might not be able to recruit them.
Because those who can hang out in Luoyang basically have good family backgrounds.
Those with poor family backgrounds, such as those who come from a humble or humble background, cannot yet come to Luoyang.
The families of these people with good family backgrounds were basically offended by Chen Yuan.
If it was recruited before, then it would be easier to say.
After all, people in this era are very particular, and many people will not give up their allegiance because of family reasons.
However, now that Chen Yuan wants to recruit talents from these powerful families, it is not as difficult as usual.
It’s not like you have to be in Jingzhou.
There are plenty of choices.
Imperial Court, Yizhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou and even Youzhou and Bingzhou, etc.
Too many choices.
Therefore, Chen Yuan wisely did not go to the door to humiliate himself, but just squatted down.
However, the tree wants to be still but the wind is not stopping. Chen Yuan wants to squat down honestly.
But someone came to the door.
On this day, Chen Yuan was studying Yuanshi Sushu in the post house. To be honest, Chen Yuan didn't have much time to practice.
His cultivation basically relies on system points.
Chen Yuan rarely found his conscience these days and decided to practice hard.
While Chen Yuan was studying Yuanshi Sushu, someone suddenly came to report: "Military advisor, does anyone want to see you?"
Chen Yuan was stunned.
Who would ask to see him?
Aren’t you already hated enough in Luoyang?
There are actually people coming to visit me. Who is so stubborn, isn't he afraid of being ostracized?
"Who wants to see you?"
"The person who came here calls himself Huangmen Zuofeng."
Good guy, he turned out to be this dead eunuch.
Could it be that there is something to be said for Jian Tiantai?
Chen Yuan thought and followed his servants out to meet Zuo Feng.
After not seeing each other for two or three years, Zuo Feng seems to be doing better.
You can tell from his complexion that he is oily and slick, and he is eager to scoop up the oil and water at the first sight.
Yes, after all, you are selling your official position under orders.
There is so much room for maneuver.
He couldn't offend this dead eunuch yet, so Chen Yuan could only pretend to be surprised.
"I am an honored guest. It turns out that Zuo Diao (both Diao and Diao are ornaments worn by eunuchs in the Han Dynasty, which are honorific titles) is here. Yuan Shou is really flattered."
With that said, Chen Yuan led Zuo Feng inside.
While quoting, he asked: "Is Zuo Diaojun here to convey the emperor's will?"
Zuo Feng also had a smile on his face: "Biejia is so polite. Feng is not here to convey the emperor's will, but to discuss something with Biejia."
Chen Yuan responded to Zuo Feng while thinking.
Since this damn eunuch is not here to convey orders, then why is he here?
For money or sex?
If it was about money and the overall situation, Chen Yuan felt that he could give him a little.
If it was for sex, there's no way this damn eunuch would be allowed to disappear today.
Damn it, I am no longer the little chief clerk I was back then. I am now Jingzhou Biejia. I was so pissed off that I directly physically saved you.
With a super strong man like Lu Bu here, it's not easy to save a dead eunuch like you.
Come to the living room and serve tea.
Chen Yuan looked at Zuo Feng: "Zuo Diaoyu, we are old friends. If you have any questions, you may as well speak up. There is nothing Yuan can do without saying anything."
Thinking that these dead eunuchs still had a few more years of glory, Chen Yuan had to say something that made him feel sick against his will.
When Zuo Feng heard what Chen Yuan said, an unpredictable smile appeared on his face.
"Chen Biejia really thinks we are friends?"
Although Chen Yuan didn't know what the dead eunuch meant, he still said: "Of course we are friends. Does Zuo Diaojuan think we are not friends?"
Zuo Feng smiled gloomily: "Since we are friends, why didn't you come and meet Feng when you first came to Luoyang? Could it be that you dislike me for being an eunuch?"
Hearing what Zuo Feng said, Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
What do you mean, this dead eunuch is here to ask questions?
What are you doing if I have nothing to do?
Are you afraid that others won’t know about my relationship with you?
I, Chen Yuan, want to lose face.
With this thought in his mind, Chen Yuan showed a wry smile: "Zuo Diaoyu doesn't know something. Yuan doesn't dare to walk around Luoyang at will now."
Zuo Feng came here this time, firstly to ask questions and cheat money, and secondly because his dirty thoughts have not stopped.
Because Chen Yuan gave him a very special feeling, different from the men he had played with before.
Yes, Chen Yuan’s identity is different now.
But what if you don’t drive in Jingzhou?
In Zuo Feng's eyes, he is still an object that can be played with.
Now the power of their eunuchs can be said to have reached its peak.
Relying on the favor of the emperor, the ten permanent servants still competed with the ministers and were even stronger than the foreign ministers.
Because they still have the support of Queen He.
The relatives and the eunuchs temporarily joined forces.
Zuo Feng took a sip of tea and said, "Oh, what does Zichu mean by this? Luoyang is at the foot of the emperor, the most virtuous place. Is it possible that there are some evil people who are forcing Zichu to fail?"
Chen Yuan gave a wry smile and sighed: "What's wrong, it's not because Yuan was so young and energetic that he offended the ministers in the court. Now those ministers want to kill me and bleed me. How dare I still walk around Luoyang casually?"
.”
Hearing what Chen Yuan said, Zuo Feng suddenly realized.
Yes, this boy's behavior at the palace gate that day has long been spread.
No wonder people want to kill him, this guy is so wicked, he actually wants to steal someone else's background.
Do you think people can stop working hard?
Hey, isn't this just an opportunity?
Zuo Feng smiled: "Don't panic, Zichu, are you afraid of those ministers?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "That's it."
"I do have a way here, but to make Zichu no longer afraid, I just don't know if Zichu is willing or not?"
"What can I do?"
Zuo Feng looked around, and it was obvious that he needed to talk confidentially.
Chen Yuan thought for a while. Anyway, this guy's cultivation level was not very good, and he couldn't do anything to him. He was not afraid of him using force.
Chen Yuan waved his hand and asked everyone to go out.
Seeing Chen Yuan retreat, Zuo Feng said: "This method is very simple, either use money or sex."
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading and Chasing Books is really useful. Download it here. You can try it soon.]
Chen Yuan felt excited in his heart.
What's the meaning?
It’s understandable that you, a eunuch, are greedy for money. What does sex mean?
Is it possible that this damn eunuch is still evil? Is he still thinking about me?
Chen Yuan looked at Zuo Feng: "What does Zuo Diaojun mean by this? I'm sorry Yuan can't understand."
Zuo Feng heard this and walked towards Chen Yuan with a smile. The smell of fragrant powder mixed with arrogance rushed towards Chen Yuan, making Chen Yuan unable to help but feel nauseous.
"What I mean is very simple. As long as you become one of us, those ministers will not dare to do anything to you."
"And to become one of ours, you need to dedicate yourself to Zhang Changshi. Only if you make Changshi Zhang happy, you will become ours."
"Of course, there is another way to become ours. I still need a master in Befu. I wonder if Zichu is willing to give in?"
Damn it!
You damn eunuch wants to blaspheme me, so go to hell with you.
Chen Yuan suppressed his anger and suddenly asked: "Does anyone else know about Zuo Diaojun's trip?"
Zuo Feng was stunned, what do you mean?
But he still replied: "I have always been cautious and secretive in my actions, so no one knows."
"Oh, it turns out no one knows. This is really great."
