Chapter 193: Peach and Plum Fill the World

Fifty-eight years of Zhou Tianzi.

Wei Wuji met King Zhao and said, "I have heard that when Confucius traveled all over the world, there were more than 3,000 people who gave him gifts and became his students, among which there were 70 students with outstanding achievements, and these 70 people, the monarch of a great country with 10,000 military chariots could take him as a teacher. Now Ma Fujun has set up a school outside Handan, and there are hundreds of disciples who study with him, but his disciples are troubled because they have no place to live, which is something that will make you laugh. ”

King Zhao hurriedly said: "The widow will send someone to help Ma Fujun build a school. ”

Mafu Township became very lively again, King Zhao wanted to build a school for Zhao Kuo outside Mafu, he sent a large number of materials needed to build houses, and ordered Handan to order Zhao Li to take the people of Handan to build. When Zhao Kuo saw Zhao Li, he would always feel very uncomfortable, because he would think of Handan Zao who died with him. Zhao Li is not as sad as before, he recently had another child, a boy.

Zhao Li said: This child looks a lot like his brave brother.

Zhao Kuo didn't want Zhao Li to build the school too luxuriously, he just needed to be able to accommodate the disciples, so that they could live here and be sheltered from the wind and rain. Zhao Kuo's disciples were puzzled, and a disciple named Zuofu asked: "I have heard that the majesty of the monarch is reflected in the specifications of the palace where he lives, and the prestige of the scholars is reflected in their clothing. ”

Zhao Kuo replied: You are wrong, I have something to tell you. The king will be honored for his kindness, for his kindness to the people, and for the scholars because of their good character, and I certainly do not avert enjoyment, but I want to teach all men, not because of their origin. If the school palace is too luxurious, I am afraid that those who come from poor backgrounds will stop in front of the school door. ”

"And then the humble house, just because the people who live here are of high moral character, so they don't feel shabby..."

Zhao Kuo's teaching is not like the school in his previous life. He will often gather students, tell their thoughts, patiently repeat, of course, there will be students who question, Zhao Kuo is never angry, just for them to explain, at this time, what he tells is his own thoughts, unification, benevolent government, restricting the king with the law, protecting the common people, etc.

Subsequently, it was Q&A time with the disciples, at this time, the disciples would ask Zhao Kuo and ask their confusion, and Zhao Kuo would answer them one by one, and the questions they asked were also different.

"Teacher, I want to be a priest, what do you think?" , a disciple asked.

"It is very good, you must be familiar with the law, you must keep every law in your heart, you must be just, you cannot trample on the law because of your likes and dislikes, you cannot forgive the criminal because he is of noble birth, you cannot have mercy on the criminal because of his low birth, and he who commits a wrong, for whatever purpose, should be punished..."

"Isn't it true that a sage said, 'Revenge is forgivable?'"

"If a person's parents are innocently killed, then you, as the secretary, did not arrest in time, this is your fault, and let him take revenge in private and kill the enemy, this is also your fault... Let the people trust you, let them find him when they have hatred, and expose the crimes of their enemies, not let them take revenge themselves. If a person's parents are killed for the crime of thieves, is it to be left to their children to avenge their parents? ”

"May I ask the people to trust themselves."

"If you can popularize the law for them, and be able to judge justly, and do not want to fight for your own title, but want to do your part, then the people will trust you..."

Zhao Buchu, a potential competitor for Dong Chengzi who wanted to be Zhao Guosikou, carefully wrote down the teacher's words, and just after he finished asking, Yang Duanhe asked again: "Teacher, please hear the way to defeat the enemy..."

"Lin Gong once said to me: There are three kinds of soldiers..."

Zhao Kuo answered Yang Duanhe's question seriously, and said to him: "You can love your soldiers on the battlefield, you can not oppress the enemy's people after the war, and you can treat the captured people benevolently... You can not swallow the reward alone, and treat the soldiers as your own siblings, then you can become a good general, you have to know what you are fighting for, for your title, or for the protection of the country, or for the world..."

"Teacher, may I ask the truth of doing business."

The disciple from Qi asked seriously, and when he asked this, everyone looked at him with some surprise, even Han Fei, there was some anger on his face, but Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "Shang Jia can provide supplies for those who need it, Zhao Guo's horses, if they are brought to Qi State, they can be sold at a good price, and Qi country's fish and salt can also be sold in Zhao country, I have never been a businessman, and I don't know how to make money... But I know a thing. ”

"The essence of doing business is exchange, and it is an equivalent exchange based on people's perception of value... A person in business can make a profit by exchanging prices in different places... Wealthy businessmen can provide relief to those who are poor, and if necessary, they can reduce some of their own profits for the convenience of others. There are selfish merchants, desperate to plunder wealth, hoarding supplies, and there are too many poor people, when the market collapses... These short-sighted merchants, who have piled up too much goods, will suffer even more losses. ”

The disciples who asked Zhao Kuo for advice have everything to learn, no matter what they want to learn, Zhao Kuo will teach, and there is even a student from Chu who wants to follow Zhao Kuo to learn how to get in touch with ghosts and gods, so Zhao Kuo told this disciple about the nature of the world, and told that the gods are the laws of the world, and exploring the laws of the world is the way to get close to the ghosts and gods.

From the beginning of the operation of the sun, moon and stars, to the thunder and rain, Zhao Kuo's words stunned this disciple who wanted to learn witchcraft, not only this one, but also the rest of the disciples who were listening. Xunzi once vaguely expressed atheism, and Zhao Kuo's view that the law of the world is the gods has never existed. Why does it thunder, why does it rain, why does it have a day and night cycle.

Zhao Kuo explained seriously, he said: These are the truth of the gods.

Ma Fujun doesn't seem to have anything he doesn't understand, he can teach everything, the school room is gradually taking shape, and there are more people who come to learn, most of them are Zhao people, there are nobles, and there are also some people from humble backgrounds, because Ma Fujun provides food here, they come to learn. Zhao Kuo taught them seriously, if there were people who didn't study and just wanted to make a living, he didn't beat and scold, and left them as helpers to fill their stomachs.

Whenever Zhao Kuo was lecturing, the young Zhao Zheng would staggering between these disciples and sit down like them, but he couldn't hold on for long, just sat for a while, and began to shout, rushing to Zhao Kuo's arms and pulling his beard, which seriously affected the classroom atmosphere. Zhao Kuo sat in the courtyard, telling everyone seriously, asking and answering, and sometimes, Zhao Kuo would let everyone say their opinions.

The atmosphere in the school room is very harmonious, that is, the Qin people and the Chu people can eat together mildly at the moment, and the two are discussing whether the Qin State should come to a king of the world, or the Chu State to a king of the world, obviously, the Qin people have the upper hand, and the Chu people who often say that they can't refute it, but even so, the two did not break out into conflict, because Zhao Kuo did not like the conflict between his disciples, and there was a Zhao person who was driven away by Zhao Kuo because he beat the disciples of the Wei State.

The reason why that Zhao man beat the Wei people was because Wei Wuji, and the Wei people felt that Xinlingjun was not valued in the Zhao State, so he should return to the Wei State.

Now, there are more than 270 disciples studying with Zhao Kuo in the school, Zhao Kuo clearly remembers each of them, and also chooses different methods to teach them according to their personalities, and he still knows that he teaches them according to their aptitude. At the beginning, he got a teaching certificate, Zhao Kuo is really talented in teaching, and when he teaches, he is not very serious... It always fills the room with laughter.

He also told the history of later generations, some famous figures, directly as the sages of ancient times to tell the public, which hid a lot of later systems, all of which were set by him on the body of the ancients, anyway, not only he liked to do this, many sages at that time, when expounding their views, they liked to make up a story to corroborate, which has become a habit today.

Han Fei is a master in this area, and most of the familiar idioms in China come from Han Fei, Han Fei's stories, some of which he heard, and more of which he made up himself, for the purpose of warning the world, or to corroborate them. Therefore, whenever Zhao Kuo told these stories, Han Fei knew in his heart, how could there be so many ancients and so many stories that he had never heard? Teacher, I understand you.

Therefore, when Han Fei recorded these things, he took his own subjective thoughts, and was stunned to put all the ideological content to be expressed in these stories on Zhao Kuo's body, for example, in the story of Fan Zi, Han Fei simply recorded the story of Fan Zi, and finally wrote directly: "Zi said: The worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy. This became Zhao Kuo's emotion after telling the story, Zhao Kuo naturally didn't know these things, he only knew that Han Fei had been recording....

......

The Chu people were waiting for the Qin people to go out on their own expedition, their eyes were bleeding, and the Qin people asking for ransom suddenly exposed Jingyang's failure on the front line, and the Chu people were both panicked and hoped that the king of Chu could redeem those children of the Chu State. Even the nobles, too, their cronies, their private soldiers, were among the captives.

The king of Chu immediately ordered Chun Shenjun to redeem these captives, in order to redeem these captives, the king of Chu even starved, and wanted to send the grain he used to Chun Shenjun. There were even people who wept and brought food, and they missed their relatives very much.

They want their loved ones to come back.

For a while, the door of Chun Shenjun's mansion was crowded with people. However, Chun Shenjun did not receive them, and even, Chun Shenjun sternly rejected the request of the king of Chu, saying: The Qin people are cruel, and these soldiers have absolutely no reason to survive, this is just a ploy of the Qin people to cheat the grain and destroy the Chu state. The king of Chu was very angry and ordered again: whether it is a plan of the Qin people or not, it must be redeemed, and he cannot sit idly by.

And the envoy sent by the King of Chu was actually blocked by Chun Shenjun and did not receive him.

Chun Shenjun once again refuted the royal decree of the king of Chu, and even distributed the grain given by the king of Chu to other armies, saying: I have never heard of the fact that I have never heard of the soldiers who have not taken the food to give it to my own soldiers, to defeat the enemy and avenge those soldiers who died in battle.

The nobles were silent, they all knew the cunning of the Qin people, perhaps, what Chun Shenjun said was not bad.... It's just that the people didn't appreciate it, and for a while, everyone began to scold Chun Shenjun angrily, thinking that he had killed his relatives, and asked the king of Chu to remove him from the position of Ling Yin and demote him to a concubine. Even the reason for the defeat of the war was pushed on him, Chun Shenjun didn't care, he still went his own way.

He worked hard to deploy defenses around Juyang, and he felt that the Qin people would soon attack again.

The only good news is that Jingyang has not been wiped out, he has made contact with the state of Chu, he is now resting in Korea, and soon, he will rush to the capital of Chen with his army to assist Xiang Yan in the defense, so that the state of Chu has two lines of defense, and the Qin people should not be able to break through in a short time.

And at this time, Bai Qi also got a clear answer from Huang Xie: Want food? We don't give.

Bai Qi was not angry, this was something he had expected a long time ago.

The officials of the Qin State once again appeared in front of these Chu captives, their expressions were fierce, these Chu people who had just become accustomed to their gentle side were very afraid, they looked at these Qin officials anxiously, and the Qin officials said angrily: "The Chu State actually rejected the proposal of the Qin State, and they even refused to use a little grain to redeem the second and third sons!" This is the state for which the second and third sons fought to the death? ”

"In these days, the Qin State has spent a lot of food to raise the second and third sons, we just want the Chu State to compensate for the grain, but they are unwilling!"

Hearing this, the Chu people were immediately stunned and panicked, the king of Chu refused to redeem himself, is he going to die here?

Looking at these angry and frightened Chu people, the officials smiled and said seriously: "But... The state of Qin is a country of benevolence and righteousness, and it is not as ferocious as the state of Chu... We will let the second and third sons go, and we only hope that we will not meet the second and third sons on the battlefield in the future. ”

"What?!"

"You want to let us go?!"

The captured Chu people were stunned.

PS: Seriously ill, fever and cough, may have to go to the hospital in the afternoon.

If it's okay, I'll update.
