Chapter 60 Answering Questions
"Then the young lady looks at this scholar's younger brother, since he has a relationship with your benefactor, maybe this younger brother is" Xiaoqing on the side was already chattering in Bai Suzhen's ear.
"Xiaoqing, how can there be such a thing? Just watched with this brother, just look at his younger brother......" Bai Suzhen said with a slight blush.
Xiaoqing on the side said, "Oh, sister, what do you want to do so much?" Did you just tell this Xu Xuanming that you suspect that he is your benefactor and want to repay the favor and marry him, you just have to take a look?"
Bai Suzhen sighed helplessly when this Xiaoqing said this, her hands were light, and a ball of white light shrouded this Xu Xian, just a moment later, Bai Suzhen opened her eyes, looked at this Xu Xian and shook her head, "This person's previous life is also blurry, and it is not clear to see, but presumably the benefactor is within these two people." ”
At this time, I only heard someone go upstairs, and everyone looked back and saw an old man with a clear face, accompanied by several old men, who came to the second floor. One of the middle-aged masters stood up and said, "Everyone, Mr. Wei is in Qingfeng Building today, presiding over this literary meeting, which is intended to meet friends with literature and explore the future," said this, he glanced back at Wei Haixin, only to see Mr. Wei smile slightly, "Brother Zhu Ren, let's start now"
The middle-aged man immediately said loudly, "Then, now the cultural meeting officially begins"
Then, someone stood up and let everyone take a look at the topic that had been done in advance, and this time there was no pair, but directly gave "The king of the son will be benevolent, choose and make the son, and the son will be reluctant!" This passage as an issue. Let the many scholars below write an article with this as the center.
"Hey, this topic is a little interesting," Xu Xuan couldn't help but snort softly.
Xu Xian on the side was already frowning, although he had finished learning "Mencius", but he could only recite it by swallowing dates, but he didn't know what this meant, so he had to look at Xu Xuan for help.
Xu Xuan shook his head secretly, his little brother, he has read to this point, but there is a big reason for his personal talent.
At the moment, he said to Xu Xian, "Little brother, this kind of writing is actually the easiest to write, but now you and I haven't even read these four books thoroughly, and now it's a little reluctant to write it, rather than writing it out and laughing and generous, it's better to give up"
Xiaoqing, who was on the side, heard Xu Xuan's words, and couldn't help but sneer, "You, a scholar, must not know the source of this article, that's why you said this, right?" It's ridiculous that you still read the books of the sages, don't you know the words of the sages, 'Knowing is knowing and not knowing is not knowing'? ”
"Hey, Qing'er, why are you talking like that?" Bai Suzhen, who was on the side, heard Xiaoqing say this, and hurriedly said.
Xiaoqing smiled slyly, and whispered in Bai Suzhen's ear, "Sister, haven't you understood yet?" When we came, we all heard clearly, this is a literary meeting held by Mr. Wei of Muyang Academy, and it is all fake to make friends with literature, the original intention is to choose a son-in-law for Mr. Wei's daughter, sister, you can't figure out that these two people are your benefactors, if they are selected by Mr. Wei, sister, how can you repay the favor? Isn't it possible to marry their family as a concubine? So, don't we just let them not be looked down upon? Hehe, these two scholars, when I shout like this, they will definitely not be favored by Mr. Wei."
"Qing'er, why are you so busy? Where to sit, if you don't have me, don't be like this" Bai Suzhen on the side glared at Xiaoqing fiercely, and then stood up and arched his hand at Xu Xuan, "Xu Xianggong, my Qing'er is reckless, please Xu Xianggong Haihan." ”
Xu Xuan waved his hand, signaling that he didn't take it to heart, but this heart was already full of "Qing'er? These two people from Furong City, dressed in one green and one white, obedient, this is a big problem, these two scholars, it's not good that it's Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing! ”
Thinking of this, he hurriedly took a closer look, only to see that this Xiaoqing was pulled back to his seat by Bai Suzhen, with an unwilling look on his face, and between his occasional movements, the movements of the little woman were revealed.
However, no matter who they are, they underestimate themselves like this, if they are usual, then it is fine, but today is Xu Xian who came here to participate in the cultural meeting, if he retreats, he will definitely let the people around him look down, I am afraid that Mr. Wei who has paid attention to his side will not have a good impression of Xu Xian and himself, in this way, I am afraid that Xu Xian's matter will be ruined, this is not what he Xu Xuan can bear, at the moment, Xu Xuan arched his hand and said to the people around him, "Brothers, my two brothers, but I have just read Mencius in the four books, and I have not yet understood it." , If you write rashly, distort the meaning of the saint, laugh at the generosity is small, blaspheme the saint is big, so we dare not scribble,
However, the two of us have also read it with my husband, so I will explain it here, and if there is anything wrong, please correct it to my seniors."
Xu Xuan said this, stood up straight, thought about it carefully, and then said, "This passage, from Mencius Teng Wengong, is a dialogue between Mencius and Teng Wengong's minister Bi Zhan, to the effect that to practice benevolent government, we must start from the division and determination of the field boundary. If the boundaries of the fields are not right, the fields will be uneven, and the income from the land rents will be unfair, so tyrants and corrupt officials will inevitably disturb the boundaries of the fields. If the boundaries of the fields are correctly divided, then the distribution of well fields and the formulation of the standard of income can be easily accomplished. Although Teng is a small country, there must be people to be gentlemen and farmers. If there is no gentleman, there will be no one to govern the peasants; Without a farmer, there would be no one to feed the gentleman. Please consider implementing a one-in-nine subsidy method in rural areas, and pay one-tenth of the tax in the cities. Officials below the age of the emperor must have 50 acres of land for the cost of sacrifices, and another 25 acres for the underage men of the family. (The people) did not leave their hometowns for funerals and relocation. If the families in the township land are in the same well field, they go in and out with each other, guard and prevent theft, help each other, and take care of each other when they are sick, so the people will be close and harmonious. One mile of land is designated as a well field, each well field is 900 acres of land, and the middle piece is a public field. Each of the eight families had 100 acres of private land, and (first) cultivated the public land together; Only after the completion of the work on the public land can he dare to be busy with the farm work on the private field, and this is the way to distinguish the gentleman from the farmer. This is the general situation of the Ida system; As for how to improve it, it is up to your monarch and your efforts.
To sum up, Yasheng admires the reuse of Zhou Gongdan's Jingtian system, but Yasheng also said at the end, 'If the husband moistens it, it will be in the king and the son.' After all, the Zhou Dynasty was more than 700 years ago, and no matter how good the system was, there would be some omissions, which required the monarch and ministers to change and improve. The above is the boy's understanding of Yasheng's words, if there are superficial mistakes or omissions, please correct them! ”
