Liu Yu was instructed by Liu Mingde and quickly read the handwriting on the book carefully. After seeing this, Liu Yu was even more shocked and said quickly: "Brother Han Guangxian, brother Yu, looking at the handwriting on the book, it should be
There is no doubt that it is written in Mr. Bozhe's handwriting. Could it be that this book was copied by Mr. Bozhe?"
Liu Ming gave a helpless smile, and at the same time with a hint of hope, he said to Liu Yu: "Brother Bo'an, your eyes are like lightning, even if you miss, you are not far away. So, brother Bo'an, why don't you accept it?
?”
Liu Yu was obviously reluctant to part with the book, and you could tell by the pain on his face. But Liu Yu finally put the book into Liu Mingde's hands resolutely.
Di said to Liu Ming: "Although Brother Yu loves this treasure book very much, but because of this, Brother Yu cannot accept it. Brother Yu has been reading the books of the sages since he was a child, and he has learned the rituals of the sages. Although he dare not follow the sages,
Juxtaposed, but the ideas of the sages are followed wholeheartedly by Brother Yu, as the saying goes: restrain yourself and return to propriety, do not see if it is not propriety, do not hear if it is not propriety, do not speak if it is not propriety, do not do anything if it is not propriety."
"Okay, well said. This is my good brother. But brother, if you look at this book more carefully, is there any difference between this book and our usual handwritten books?" Liu Ming said with great appreciation.
At this time, Liu Ming's admiration for Liu Yu was like the water of the Yellow River, so gushing that he even made plans with Guo Jia and Yang Jun to deceive Liu Yu.
All his plans were forgotten. Liu Ming thought with emotion: No wonder his secret service personnel, after inquiring about Liu Yu, always praised him for how upright and loving the people he was.
The evaluation of his quality is: Although he is the Lord, he is frugal by nature, wears clothes, ropes and shoes, and eats nothing. The evaluation of his political performance is: diligent and pragmatic, lenient and caring for the people, and encourages and supervises agricultural plants. He also imitates me.
The state has benefited from opening up valleys and markets, and its good governance has led to the development of the salt and iron fields of Yuyang, and the wide opening of markets has made the people under its jurisdiction happy and prosperous. It is the only one among the states in our dynasty that can compete with me in Youzhou.
In prefectures and counties where food is at the same price, in order to avoid the Yellow Turban disaster, in addition to those who came to Youzhou the most, there were no less than a million people who joined Liu Yu. Liu Yu took them in properly and established a safe and prosperous career for them.
, the refugees all forgot about their migration. At that time, I only had a slight liking for Liu Yu, thinking that this Liu Yu was just a better official. My interactions with Liu Yu were more about his righteousness
Identity. But now it seems that Liu Yu is really a wise man who keeps his words and deeds consistent. If it were someone else, he would have been happy to accept such a valuable treasure. And even if there are some people who are not greedy for foreign things, no matter how precious it is,
You can be indifferent to things, but that's nothing compared to the current Liu Yu. This Liu Yu clearly loves this thing like a treasure, but in the end he can still defeat his greed. Such self-discipline is so rare and valuable.
Under Liu Ming's guidance again, Liu Yu carefully looked at the "Notes on Three Rites". After this look, Liu Yu was shocked again. He saw that although the brushstrokes and strokes were all from Bo Zhe's
However, the handwriting on this book does not look like handwriting, but rather like rubbings. When Liu Yu saw this, he couldn't help but secretly expressed his surprise, and asked Liu Ming: "Brother Han Guang, what is this treasure?"
The calligraphy in the book should undoubtedly come from Mr. Bozhe's handwriting, but when Brother Yu took a closer look, he felt that these handwritings did not look like handwriting, but seemed to be made from rubbings. What is the reason for this? Is there something else in this?
What’s so mysterious about it?”
Liu Yu finally scratched Liu Ming's itchy spot this time. Liu Ming proudly said to Liu Yu: "Brother Bo'an, you are right this time. This is the great news that I want to share with you. This is
Books are not handwritten, but printed. After typesetting once, thousands of copies can be printed. In the future, any books can be printed in this way. In this way, all the books in China can be easily printed.
It spreads widely throughout the world and educates the world, and if this continues, our Chinese culture can be passed down for a long time. Isn't this a joy?"
After listening to Liu Ming's words, Liu Yu stood up and gave Liu Mingshen a respectful salute. Liu Ming was so panicked that he quickly returned the salute and said, "Brother Bo'an, why is this? I can never afford this."
Liu Yu Zhengse said to Liu Mingyan: "Brother Han Guang, you deserve it. Originally, you made paper, which has already contributed a lot to the inheritance of my Confucianism. Now that you have developed this technique, it has made me even more proud."
The culture of our clan has been passed down through the ages. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of the world. My dear brother, this is a great contribution, and it has benefited the world."
Liu Yu's words made Liu Ming feel a little embarrassed. Liu Ming quickly changed the topic and said: "Brother Bo'an is so flattering, I don't deserve it. However, is this printing skill of my younger brother better than just now?"
Brother Bo'an, what do you want to ask about, is something a little more important?"
Liu Yu laughed and said: "Of course the printing technique is important. As long as there are errors in the new laws and regulations established by the wise brother, we can change or replace them at any time. But the printing technique of the wise brother will last forever.
, how can the two be compared? But!" At this point, Liu Yu's face became serious again and he said: "Although Brother Guangxian of Han Dynasty, you have merit in establishing the art of printing, Brother Yu, as a Zongzheng, if you really
If you mess up the rules of your ancestors, the foolish brother has the responsibility to order the wise brother to correct himself."
Liu Ming looked at it and thought, okay, it was all in vain. However, this was what he and Guo Jiade had expected. As soon as he started to answer Liu Yu's questions, he avoided answering them in order to weaken Liu Yu's arrogance and determination.
The purpose of presenting the treasure was to shake Liu Yu's will. Although Liu Yu withstood the temptation of the treasure, looking at Liu Yu's current performance, his purpose of showing himself has been achieved.
Therefore, Liu Ming took advantage of Liu Yu's happy mood to launch his long-planned offensive against Liu Yu.
"Brother Bo'an, you and I have been dating for many years. What do you think of the people's customs under my rule here? How about the people's livelihood?" Liu Ming quietly laid the first trap for Liu Yu.
At this time, Liu Yu's joy for the printing technique had not passed, and the wealth of the people of Youzhou had long been his target to imitate. He immediately replied without thinking: "The people under my virtuous brother's rule have good customs."
It is simple, the people are prosperous, and the wise brother's way of governing has long been the target of the foolish brother to imitate. Of course it is good."
"Brother Bo'an admires Zheng Xue, why are you here?" Liu Ming still calmly laid another trap for Liu Yu.
Liu Yuda was surprised, what happened to Han Guangxian brother today? Why is there no preface and follower? I admire Zheng Xue, and what does it have to do with his governance of the people? Why do you keep asking? But Liu Ming asked
Zheng Xue, who was interested in Zheng Xue, just scratched Liu Yu's itch. Liu Yu still happily replied: "Brother Yu admires Zheng Xue because Kang Chenggong never sticks to the rules and has the courage to develop classics and principles, sweeping away the ancient and modern classics."
The shortcomings of the theory of righteousness are revealed, and the truth is revealed to the world."
"Come on. Kang Chenggong can be so innovative and brave enough to study the truth. As important ministers of the imperial court, we are concerned about the welfare of the world and the welfare of the people. How can we stick to the rules and not take the welfare of the people as our own responsibility?" Liu Ming did not wait.
Liu Yu spoke, and then said: "Although the first emperor of the previous dynasty had all kinds of wrongs and tyranny, he abolished the old rules and unified the world, so that we, the Chinese people, could no longer be separated from each other, unified weights and measures, and made our people communicate with each other.
No, it is extremely convenient. This is also his good governance. And my great ancestor, after overthrowing the tyrannical Qin Dynasty, established a new law and asked Xiao He to formulate the "Nine Laws" to be lenient and caring for the people. Therefore, the change of the law is mainly to calm the people.
.Now, when you and I are officials, what do we hate? What do we worry about? We, the ministers, do not hate those eunuchs and relatives who control the government, treacherous villains, and confuse the audience. The only person who worries is that he himself will be treacherous.
Did you deceive me without caring about the people's sentiments, understanding their customs, and mismanaging the people's administration? Now, I have been favored by the Holy One and given me the power to open a government and set up accounts. Although I can't sweep away the traitors in the court, can't I sweep away all the traitors?
Are there corrupt officials under my rule? Can't I give back a piece of blue sky to the people under my rule? And in order to prevent the loyal and good people from being misjudged, or being deceived by that villain, I have specially set up the "People's Feelings". What's the point?
Why not? As for me, I have some concerns about doing things under my own rule without first reporting to the court. I am afraid that this policy will touch the interests of corrupt officials, big and small, in the court.
There will be traitors who will make slanderous remarks to the Holy One. The second reason is that they are afraid that if there is any imperfection in this government, they will rashly extend it and cause trouble to the people. Therefore, I use the authority given to me by the Holy One to open offices and set up accounts.
We are temporarily implementing this policy, and we will use Youzhou as a pilot to see how effective it is."
Liu Mingtang's words made Liu Yu dumbfounded. Liu Yu thought about it carefully for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt that Liu Ming's words made sense. After a while, after Liu Yu thought deeply, he said to Liu Ming: "Han Guang
Dear brother, your talent in governing the world and your love for the people are far inferior to that of foolish brother. However, although foolish brother is not talented, he still knows the principle of seeing the wise and thinking of others. The good deeds of wise brother, foolish brother is also willing to imitate them. Dear brother, you are willing to emulate them.
Please explain your new laws and new principles to Brother Yu in detail. After Brother Yu returns to Jizhou, he will follow them without fail, so that you and I can set an example and wake up the world. If there is anyone who dares to speak dirty words
, listen to the chaos of the saints. Brother Yu will punish him as the sect of our clan."
Liu Ming was overjoyed after hearing this, and unexpectedly found another supporter. At that moment, Liu Ming talked to Liu Yu about all the gains and losses he had made since the rectification in Youzhou, and Liu Yu also listened to it.
What Liu Yu especially recognized was that Cai Yong and others improved Liu Ming's "criticism and self-criticism" into a "confessional" style of "waking up three times a day". Liu Yu felt that this "three awakenings"
His body' is too in line with the meaning of Confucian classics. Otherwise, he cannot discipline his body by himself. Even he should handle it in this way so as to improve himself.
At this time, Liu Ming had such an opinion about Liu Yu, and he had no opinion for a long time. Even Liu Ming himself now thinks that maybe this is the original meaning of "criticism and self-criticism". It's just that he has never understood it.
This conversation lasted until midnight, and Liu Yu was really satisfied after asking about everything. But at this time, Liu Yu had an idea and said: "Brother Han Guang, your rectification method should actually be published.
It should be written into a book and taught to the world. In this way, even if there are some shortcomings in this rectification method, experts and sages can help us point it out. Moreover, people everywhere can also be more aware of the benefits of these new policies.
.Brother Han Guangxian, do you think this is good?"
Liu Ming was stunned. He didn't expect that Liu Yu would persuade him to publish a book. He quickly said humbly: "No, no. I am rough in arts and science and don't know the meaning of scriptures. How can I write a book and pass it on? Isn't that ridiculous?"
Liu Yu twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Brother Han Guang, you are too worried. Among your retainers, there are many famous scholars. That Mr. Bozhe, the governor of You'an County, is not a scholar who knows everything about classics and principles. He is a wise man." Now that your principles have been established and your ideas have been established, can you let these great Confucians polish your books for you?"
Liu Yu's words seemed to light up the light in Liu Ming's heart, and Liu Ming was suddenly moved. Writing a book and biography would be a good thing that would be passed down through the ages. This was not like those modern entertainment novels and fast food literature, which had an impact. The thoughts and theories of later generations are of far-reaching significance, but if I let Cai Yong and Guan Ning write for me, wouldn't I be like those modern writers looking for gunmen to write books? Is this good? But Liu Ming then thought again When I think about it, what's so bad about this? It's something that modern people can do, let alone something that no one can care about. How come I can't do it when I'm in ancient times and no one cares about it? And after this book is established, as long as I don't He said that his subordinates would not even say it. Without outsiders knowing, who would know that he had hired someone to write for him after a thousand years? Especially since he and those modern writers have a similar nature. The difference is that after they become famous, those writers find unknown descendants to write for them and deceive readers, while I am an unknown person who finds famous Confucians to write books and biographies to enlighten all living beings. Let those people envy you. .
Although Liu Yu didn't hear what Liu Ming was saying, he could only see the smile on Liu Ming's lips and knew that Liu Ming must have agreed with his point of view. Then he asked Liu Ming again and said, "Han Guangxian Brother, do you think Brother Fool’s opinion is true?”
Liu Ming hurriedly replied this time: "I will never hesitate to do anything to benefit the people. Brother Bo'an's advice to me is so good. I deeply feel the kindness of brother Bo'an."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "It's nothing. Brother Han Guangxian is just used to doing good things and not wanting others to know about him. I didn't think of it at the moment." Just after Liu Yu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and said: "Brother Han Guangxian, since you That printing technique can easily print books. Brother Yu still has some bad works and some articles written by his colleagues in the capital. Can brother Han Guangxian also help to print them so that they can be circulated all over the world?"
