Qin Bingzhong's house is quite deserted.

Although the red lanterns have been hung and the cleaning has been completed, there are indeed a few fewer people.

Qin Chengye didn't come back, which made Qin Bingzhong a little sad, but after reading the letter that Qin Chengye wrote to him, he also showed a little relief, this grandson can be regarded as sensible, although he didn't follow the route he planned, but the letter said that what he did in Xishan was a great thing, and it was something that could make him happy from the bottom of his heart. In this way, Qin Bingzhong saw it.

"Are you still going to Linjiang Academy after the New Year? I don't think there's any need to go any further, just stay in Shangjing, and I'll stay in Shangjing for a longer time in the future. ”

Qin Bingzhong thought about it, since his grandson had already gone to Xishan, it was indeed not very decent to have one Qin Ruoxue left in this mansion, so he nodded, "That's fine, I'll stay in Shangjing and make a relief for those holy schools." ”

"How much do you know about the great Confucian Xingzhou of the Wu Dynasty, brother?"

Qin Bingzhong was slightly stunned, "Wen Xingzhou? This person is about the same age as me, and he has been to the Yu Dynasty three times in his life, the first time was Taihe...... It was about 20 years of Taihe, and we were all young and your size at that time. On behalf of the Wu Dynasty, he came to the Yu Dynasty to participate in the Lanting Collection Shangyuan Festival Literary Meeting, and made a poem "Qingyu Case, Shangyuan" at the literary meeting, and won the first place in the Shangyuan Festival poems of that year, and left his name in the first column of the first column of the Yuan Festival poems on the Thousand Monuments. ”

"The second time is almost forty years after Taihe, and at this time he has become famous all over the world and is known as the first person in the literary circle of the Wu Dynasty. This time he came to the Yu Dynasty for the exchange of students, he brought fifty Wu Dynasty students to come, and lived in the Jixia School Palace, he also lectured, and also listened to our teaching and lectures, this time he stayed for a long time, about half a year or so, I and he and the current Guozi priest wine Shangguan Wenxiu, it can be regarded as more familiar, and often drink and communicate together. I admire him very much, he has a deep study of sacred science, since he was about 20 years old in the Wu Dynasty to spread and promote sacred learning, and persuaded the then Emperor Wu to establish sacred science as a national study. The fifty disciples he brought with him that time were all extremely talented and learned, and they studied sacred science in the academy for another half a year, and then returned to the Wu Dynasty with him. ”

"Since then, the sacred study has spread faster in the Wu Dynasty, and the literary affairs of the Wu Dynasty have become more and more prosperous."

"This is the last time...... It was the first year of the Xuanli calendar, when I ascended the throne to the new emperor, and Wen Xingzhou brought a delegation to congratulate him, and I had another long talk with him, and this time it was not pleasant, because our understanding of the sacred science was skewed, to be precise, he thought that the sacred science was not perfect. ”

"In short, Wen Xingzhou must have great talents, and after the last time we met, I also often reflected that this sacred science has been passed down for thousands of years, in fact, there have been great sages in all dynasties to further improve it. Nowadays, the sacred school advocates benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith to rule the world, and Wen Xingzhou's view is that this benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith...... Those who have been enlightened are of course reasonable, but those who have not been enlightened cannot be restrained. That's why there are all kinds of criminals in this world, such as thieves, patricides, traitors, and so on. He proposed that in addition to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, there should also be a law, and his interpretation of this law is the law and regulations, and the degree is used to measure the criteria for people to do things, and the rules are used to determine the proportion of people in doing things. Then condemn and proclaim it, so that people know what can be done and what cannot be done. ”

Qin Bingzhong said a lot in one breath, and Fu Xiaoguan's understanding of Wen Xingzhou had a preliminary concept through this speech.

This man...... It's remarkable!

He has surpassed the sacred studies of this era and created a new situation, if his scholarship can be promoted in the Wu Dynasty, then the Wu Dynasty is the first country in history to change from the rule of man to the rule of law.

For Wen Xingzhou personally, he has stood at a new height, and for the country of the Wu Dynasty, it must be at the forefront of other countries!

"What did you ask Wen Xingzhou about?"

"That's the case, I'm going to go to the Wu Dynasty Wenhui on the Cold Food Festival next year, I heard that Wen Xingzhou is a great Confucian of the Wu Dynasty, I think I will meet it, so get to know this person."

"Oh......" Qin Bingzhong bowed slightly, was silent for a moment and said, "If you see him, bring him a word for me." ”

"Brother Qin, tell me."

"Just say...... After all these years of thinking, I think he is right, and if he already has a book, ask him to bring me a copy. ”

……

When the long talk reached You, it was getting late, Fu Xiaoguan and Dong Shulan said goodbye to Qin Bingzhong and returned to Dong's mansion.

On the way, Dong Shulan asked about Qin Bingzhong's words, "Since Old Qin thinks that Wen Xingzhou is right...... Wouldn't this have had a great impact on the Yu Dynasty's sacred system? ”

"History always moves forward, and when history develops to a certain extent, this sacred study needs to progress with it. In fact, I also think that Wen Xingzhou's point of view is right, it's just ...... Still imperfect. ”

Dong Shulan felt strange, such a novel point of view you felt imperfect just by hearing it?

"So what do you mean by perfecting?"

Fu Xiaoguan laughed, "If I say that the divine authority of the monarch is not right, will you denounce me?" ”

Dong Shulan glared at him, "It's a pure nonsense, your thoughts are very dangerous, but don't say it." ”

"Hey...... I know, so I don't have the courage to write a book and say something like that. ”

Back at Dong Mansion, Dong Kangping was already at home, and when he saw Fu Xiaoguan and Dong Shulan coming back, he beckoned, and the two walked over and sat down under Dong Kangping.

"Your Majesty's intention is for the two of you to complete it, and all the money will be paid to your family not through the household, but through Shulan. But you can't inject too much money into Shulan's account at one time, so your Fu family has to pay in advance in advance, and you have to have a bottom on this matter. ”

Fu Xiaoguan was immediately unhappy, how could he do such a business?

Dong Shulan didn't know why, she looked at her father, Dong Shangshu briefly told Dong Shulan about the matter, Dong Shulan was not happy, this is a matter of the state, why let the Fu family pay in advance?

That's a lot of silver, not to mention whether the Fu family can take it out or not, if something goes wrong in the middle, wouldn't the Fu family lose their wife and soldiers?

Dong Kangping looked at Fu Xiaoguan and was also innocent, "This is your suggestion to Your Majesty, think about it, if a large amount of money flows to Shulan's account, someone who is interested will know what is going on when he checks it." Now His Majesty's intention is to transfer the money to Shulan's account in batches through being very beautiful, so no one will pay attention to it, right? ”

And what Dong Kangping didn't say was that the treasury of the treasury was no longer enough to pay for this amount of money, except for the part that must be spent next year!

This is special, it really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot!

Seeing Fu Xiaoguan's deflated appearance, Dong Kangping laughed, and said: "After you left, Your Majesty summoned the ministers of the six major lords in the court, scolded them very much, and then rewarded a carrot, and scheduled to behead all the officials who were convicted on February 2 next year, and said that they would recall the Qincha after the opening of the dynasty." ”

In this way, His Majesty has adopted his opinion, which is a sign of weakness to the enemy.

"The other thing is that the eldest prince has come to the imperial study."

Fu Xiaoguan frowned and asked, "The eldest prince?" What did he do? ”

Dong Kangping nodded, "The eldest prince Yu Wentian, his mother Xue Binglan is the queen mother of the dynasty. The queen mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to the eldest prince...... The eldest prince has not had a mother since he was a child. At present, there is a high voice in the court to support His Majesty to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince, firstly, it is the full support of the Xue family secretly, and secondly, it is also related to his life experience. ”

"Wait, isn't it, this Xue Binglan is also from the Xue family?"

"Yes, the two women of the Xue family are married to Your Majesty, and the other is Xue Bingqing, the mother of the fourth prince."

Fu Xiaoguan nodded as if he had realized something, this Xue family ...... It's talented.

"The eldest prince is heavy on martial arts, because of his frail health when he was a child, His Majesty, who had not yet ascended the throne at that time, invited him to teach him martial arts, and it is said that he is now very skilled. It is not a big deal for him to come to the imperial study, but to ask His Majesty to agree to hold a hunt in the royal garden of Nanshan on February 2 - he means that the world has been peaceful for a long time, although the literature can govern the country, but the martial arts can be safe, so he hopes to invite some literati to participate in this hunt, at least let them see how the warriors fight and kill the beasts, so that they can see the blood, so that they can know the cruelty of the war, in order to understand the meaning of the existence of the warriors. ”

This is a good idea, Fu Xiaoguan agrees in his heart, the Yu Dynasty is now too prosperous in the literary style, resulting in a high status of the literati, and it is difficult for the warriors to compete with the literati above the temple, if there is no war, it will be peaceful, but if a war really breaks out, it will be a great trouble for the literati to lead the war.

He didn't take this to heart, Dong Kangping told Fu Xiaoguan about some things in the temple, which benefited Fu Xiaoguan a lot.

It didn't take long for Dong Xiude to come back in a hurry, and he walked into the lobby and said happily: "Today's beautiful sales have broken the record, and even the soap that has just been on the market is almost sold out...... Brother-in-law, these perfumes and soaps are a rarity these days, and you need to get more. ”

Fu Xiaoguan, who was called by his brother-in-law, was happy, because Dong Shangshu's hand trembled and the teacup in his hand almost fell.

"What is the price of the soap?"

"The price set by my sister is six taels of silver a piece."

"......" Fu Xiaoguan looked at Dong Shulan, Dong Shulan pursed her lips and smiled, "Didn't you say that?" When the market demand is greater than the supply, the cost of the product does not affect the selling price. ”

But...... The cost of this soap is only five cents, and Dong Shulan dares to sell it for six taels of silver!

However, Fu Xiaoguan agreed, "You did the right thing, and this soap will be sent in a steady stream later." ”

Then the old lady came and said that dinner was ready, and it was time to go to the dining hall to eat.

There was indeed a hot braised lion's head on the table, and Fu Xiaoguan was very happy, which meant that he had finally been approved by his mother-in-law.

Dong Yuan's heart was also very happy, the old man said that Fu Xiaoguan solved the problem and did himself a big favor - this kid is good, it seems that he was wrongly blamed before.

Dong Xiude also likes to eat this braised lion's head, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and as soon as the chopsticks were stretched over, he heard a crisp sound of "pop".

Dong Yuan glared at him: "What are you anxious about?" This is what I made for the petty officer! ”

Dong Xiude looked sad, what the hell, who is your own son?
