Chapter 226: Academic Debate
These days, Gongsun Long always followed Zhao Kuo's side, wanting to discuss philosophy, logic and other studies with him.
The two debated from the aspect of consciousness or matter, Zhao Kuo is of course a materialist, but Gongsun Long can not make a distinction here, he admits that matter can exist without will, but also feels that the will is the foundation of all things, Zhao Kuo relies on his half-baked philosophical knowledge, obviously can not convince the old man in front of him. Philosophy is like that, and most of the time, no one can convince anyone.
The two debated every day, and even Zhao Kuo was said to be red-faced, because he couldn't say what he wanted to express and quarreled with Gongsun Long, arguing back and forth, and finding that he couldn't say that he couldn't move this old stubbornness, he stopped, but Gongsun Long was still very happy, because Zhao Kuo could understand what he wanted to say, let alone drive himself away, and he even felt that Zhao Kuo was the only person who understood him at present.
He debated with the people of the Mohist school back then, and at that time, he was very excited, because he found that he was not alone, and there were people who discussed the nature of the world like him, but now, those Chu Mo came to him to debate, but he was a little disappointed, because these people only knew how to recite the things left by their predecessors, and did not have a cognition of their own.
And Zhao Kuo no longer argued with him, he changed his clothes, lived in Mafu, he was driven away by Pingyuanjun, because Pingyuanjun could not accept his doctrine, Gongsun Long combined with the "Book of Mafu" to persuade Pingyuanjun: directly grasp the power of Wei, and then occupy Zhao, the three Jin are united, and then form a unified united state with the countries, and some nobles elect virtuous people to serve on the throne, and rotate every ten years, so as to complete the unification.
But Zhao Sheng was very angry? And think it's ridiculous? And because he has repeatedly instigated himself to rebel? thought he had ulterior motives, so he sent him to Ma Fujun.
Gongsun Long likes Zhao Kuo's political doctrine very much, this is because of the political ideas of famous scholars, including Wuhou, to respect? Soldiers? And love? Benefiting the people, non-covenanting, etc., no thick respect is to tell that everyone is equal? There is no dignity and humility, and then there is a unity against violence, and it is necessary to benefit the common people rather than the aristocracy, etc., these ideas do not conflict with Zhao Kuo's ideas. As for Gongsun Long instigating Pingyuanjun? This is because of another nature of the famous artist.
The first king of lawlessness? Isn't it etiquette? This means that the rites and decrees of the previous kings are not sacred things that cannot be changed, and that reform is justified. They are against resting on their laurels, they are still radical reformers, they have an anti-traditional spirit, and the things that Zhao Kuo said are very advanced, in their opinion, they can be done, and everything should be constantly improved. They ignore the so-called etiquette, and naturally they don't have any thoughts about loyalty.
It is precisely because of the similarity between the famous and Zhao Kuo's doctrine that the famous family will speak out and agree with Zhao Kuo's doctrine, the peasant family, the Legalist, the famous family, these three probably have no conflict with Zhao Kuo's doctrine, and the rest of the schools... Probably because there was no conflict, Gongsun Long simply came to the school room, listened to Zhao Kuo talk about his knowledge, and became the oldest student here, and he also called Han Fei a senior brother, so scared that Han Fei did not dare to accept the courtesy.
is such an old man who wants to stop the violent activities of the world, but ignores the etiquette and law, wants to debate with others, but thinks about the world in a daze, has become the most annoying guy in Mafu Township, except for Zhao Kuo, no one likes this old man, the common people do not know this famous scholar, and those who know him, they dare not get close to him, they are afraid that they will not understand his words and make a fool, of course, there are more people because they do not agree with his doctrines.
He is a very complicated person, when he first arrived in Mafu, no one knew him, and Di gave them a lot of knowledge about Gongsun Long.
"At the beginning, King Yan Zhao wanted to attack the State of Qi, Gongsun Long took his disciples, rushed from the State of Zhao to the Kingdom of Yan, and persuaded the King of Yan to stop the war, King Yan agreed, but Gongsun Long did not believe him, guessed that he said: You were looking for talents who could use soldiers to break the State of Qi, and now you are surrounded by generals who can use soldiers, you must still attack the State of Qi, King Yan is speechless."
"Qin and Zhao drew up an alliance to help each other, and then Qin attacked Wei, Zhao went to the rescue, and the king of Qin said that Zhao did not keep the agreement, Gongsun Long said: You can tell the king of Qin that Zhao decided to protect Wei very early, and Qin only attacked Wei later, and Qin did not keep the agreement."
"The first king once talked to Mr. Gongsun Long, saying that he had the heart to love everyone, why couldn't he make Zhao State strong, Gongsun Long told him: You are angry and depressed because Qin State got the land, and you are happy to hold a banquet because of the disaster of Wei State, you don't really have the idea of caring for everyone, so you don't make the country stronger."
Di learned about these things from Han Fei, but he didn't tell anyone about this, and after hearing these deeds, everyone had a different kind of respect for the old man, but this respect was destroyed with the old man's strange arguments and rude behavior.
But in any case, he still stayed in Mafu and became a citizen here.
The farmer's scholar exhibition hates Gongsun Long very much.
Because he thinks that Gongsun Long doesn't do personnel, doesn't know how to farm, doesn't know how to prevent and control, and doesn't understand planting, so what are you doing alive? What's the use of talking nonsense all day long that no one understands? Can the people afford to eat? Can it make the people live a good life?
Gongsun Long doesn't think so, he thinks that what he studies is the most important thing, farming and other things can be done by any common person, do you still need to study it? It is just a waste of time, and when your doctrine is accepted, everyone will be happy, and your contribution will be insignificant.
The two schools were arguing, and Zhao Kuo did not participate in their disputes, but was a little glad that Gongsun Long finally stopped bothering himself. Zhao Kuo is still teaching his disciples with his heart, because he feels the power of the disciples, after these disciples go back, they will be able to explain their knowledge to the people around them, and they will become elementary schools and teach more disciples, Zhao Kuo is not too strict with his disciples, no matter what aspect of content he wants to learn, he will teach with his heart.
Even if there were noble disciples who learned those entertainment activities from him, he would simply explain them to them.
Just when Zhao Kuo was teaching these disciples with all his might, a guest finally came to Mafu. Han Fei brought this to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo hurriedly got up to meet this guest, this guest looked not young, tall, with a short beard, and a haggard face, Han Fei introduced Zhao Kuo: "This is Zheng Guo of South Korea...", Zhao Kuo was stunned, this Zheng Guo was different from what he thought.
He didn't have all the confidence of a scholar, he looked ordinary, ordinary, worried, and there was no luster in his eyes. After meeting Zhao Kuo, he sat down, sighed, and talked about the situation in South Korea, bitter, very bitter. Because in the war with Qin, Korea was reduced to the main battlefield, so it was affected the most, and all parts of Korea were reduced to ruins, and the people had nowhere to flee, and countless dead and wounded.
Killed, starved to death, frozen to death, Zheng Guo shook his head, Zhao Kuo understood where the sorrow on his face came from, he frowned, but he knew very well in his heart that as long as the war did not end, these sufferings would not disappear.... However, South Korea has been abolished, and it can be said that South Korea now has no power to protect itself, and the land is almost squeezed, and in the future, the life of the Koreans will be more difficult.
When he thinks of South Korea, Zhao Kuo will think of the painstaking minister.
"Zhang Xianghe...", Zhao Kuo just mentioned, Zheng Guo said again: "Zhang Xiang patrolled all over South Korea, helped resettle the victims, and rearranged the officials, and the officials ran away. . . Shangjun also reprimanded him fiercely for this incident. Han Fei stood aside, listening to Zheng Guo talk about this, he took a deep breath, Zhao Kuo could see that he must be uncomfortable in his heart, Han Fei would always skip South Korea every time he understood the great unification.
Zhao Kuo can understand him, Han Fei is a patriot, but also a person who loves the world, he feels that the world should be unified, but he still loves his country, and does not want to see his country's name, culture, and words disappear in the river of history, whenever he hears these things about South Korea, he will appear very silent, he has exhausted all his wisdom, and it seems that he has not found a way to save South Korea.
Zhao Kuo didn't know how to persuade the suffering man, he could only comfort: "Everything will be fine, please rest assured." Zheng Guo raised his head and asked seriously: "I read your "Book of Horse Clothes", I saw that you put forward everything, why is there no water conservancy and building content?" Zhao Kuo said with a wry smile: "Because of these things, I don't know myself, and I don't dare to say anything." ”
Zheng Guo nodded, Zhao Kuo suddenly thought of something, maybe Zheng Guo could also write a book to summarize his water conservancy experience, by the way, Qin Guo also has a water conservancy expert, if these two people write a book on water conservancy together, it should be of great effect, he was about to say his idea, Zheng Guo stood up and said, "Please take me to the place where the flood occurred." ”
"It's... You haven't eaten yet. ”
"You can eat it on the road."
Facing the straightforward Zheng Guo, Zhao Kuo didn't say much, so he had to ask people to prepare a carriage, and he was going to go to the column with Zheng Guo, and Zhan heard the news of the arrival of the water conservancy expert from somewhere... Most likely, it was from Di, well, when the carriage was about to depart, Zhan also arrived, Zhao Kuo introduced Zheng Guo to him, Zhan was very happy, and after asking Zheng Guo some engineering knowledge that Zhao Kuo didn't understand, the two respected each other very much.
With these two with him, Zhao Kuo left the horse clothes, and at the door, they also met Gongsun Long, who was debating something with a few children in the township.
Zhao Kuo shook his head, this person is hopeless.
Along the way, Zhan and Zheng Guo chatted very well, when Zheng Guo talked about the disaster in South Korea, Zhan even said that he would take his disciples to South Korea to reclaim land, which made Zhao Kuo a little ashamed, obviously he had greater ability, but he did not have such courage as Zhan. Zheng Guo was naturally very grateful for Zhan's words, Zhao Kuo felt that Zheng Guo probably thought that Zhan was just talking, and did not think that he would really go to South Korea.

"I'd love to see the ditch that Simon Leopard has dug, and if we can, we can follow his example and make a staggered channel that will benefit at least twenty surrounding cities..."
While they were talking, Goh suddenly grabbed the reins, and the carriage stopped.
Zhao Kuo looked ahead, on the road ahead, I don't know when, a group of people appeared, these people wore high crowns, wore exquisite clothes, their eyes were full of arrogance, there were more than a dozen people, they wore swords, blocking the road. Xing, who was accompanying him, hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and led the guests to guard in front of Zhao Kuo, who also got out of the carriage and walked out of the crowd.
"Guys, are you going to ask for directions?" , Zhao Kuo asked with a smile.
The leader stared at him for a moment before asking, "Are you Zhao Kuo?" His words were full of Qi Yin, this kind of Zhao language, he had heard it in Tian Dan.
Ge was furious and was about to whip up and charge at these people, but Zhan, who was familiar with him, hurriedly grabbed his hand and said seriously: "Don't be impulsive. Ge put down the whip angrily, and with these people in front of him, he could crush half of them with a charge. Zhao Kuo didn't get angry because of the arrogance in his words, just nodded and said, "I'm Zhao Kuo, I don't know what you command?" ”
Zhao Kuo said this, the man also put away his arrogance, he looked older than Zhao Kuo, he asked seriously: "You said that only when six countries perish can the people live a better life?" ”
Zhao Kuo frowned and said, "I just said..."
"Yes and no?"
"It's... Only when the world is unified will the war end. ”
"Oh, when there was no war in the past, all countries also existed, and when Yao Shunyu was there, he never destroyed other countries...", the person headed by Yao Shunyu started to talk directly, Zhao Kuo immediately confirmed the identity of these people in front of him, Confucian disciples, but why did Confucian disciples come to find themselves and find their own trouble? Zhao Kuo listened for a while, and then he realized that these people were originally looking for themselves to debate academic issues.
If it was usual, Zhao Kuo still had the heart to discuss with them, but at this moment, he had more important things to do.
"Second and third sons, I know your intentions, but I am a little busy now, the second and third sons can go to the horse service, at the gate of the township, there is an rude old man, he is the best at debating in the horse service, he also knows my doctrine, the second and third sons can temporarily find him to debate, and when he is convinced, come to me again."
