Chapter 168: The essence of governing the country

Ganchi has a question, which has not been solved until today, that is, would the ancients have collectively applauded? Is that kind of thunderous and fierce applause only available in later generations?

Today, Gan Qi saw that the ancients would have applauded fiercely. Su Shi gave a lecture for more than an hour, and the applause was fierce, and everyone bowed and thanked them together.

The thirst for knowledge is a common phenomenon in this era, and the reason why people in this era are generally thirsty for knowledge is actually only one reason, that is, there are too few channels to obtain knowledge, and the difficulty of obtaining knowledge is also extremely high.

Reading, starting from books, is a luxury, and a teacher is also a luxury, a teacher with a real level, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Moreover, reading is still the only channel to obtain mainstream knowledge in this era.

When it becomes easier to acquire knowledge, the vast majority of people will no longer be "thirsty" and will no longer regard the acquisition of knowledge as the most important pursuit in life.

Su Shi received applause and everyone's thanks, and for a moment, Su Shi himself had a huge sense of achievement.

With this sense of achievement, Su Shi went down to the backyard, suddenly felt in a good mood, sat down and shouted: "Come on, come to a cup of tea." ”

A small servant who was waiting outside the door rushed in and asked, "What kind of tea does the master want?" ”

"Clear tea." Su Shi replied, now that this method of drinking tea is really popular, even Su Shi has begun to drink clear tea.

"Master, wait a moment." The little guy rushed out.

Gan Qi looked at the little guy who ran out, and suddenly looked at it a few more times, this little guy was only eight or nine years old, he came with Su Shi today, and served left and right by Su Shi's side, he was very clever, and Gan Qi didn't care about this child in front of his head, he paid attention to a few glances at this time, and asked: "Brother Zizhan, why did you take a child to serve by your side?" ”

In fact, Gan Qi felt that Su Shi was such a big person, and getting a child laborer to serve by his side was somewhat inconsistent with Gan Qi's thinking.

Su Shi replied with a smile: "This little guy was bought on the side of the road, I saw that he was pitiful, and after buying it, he raised a mouthful of food, so as not to teach him to live a little, I didn't think that this child was extremely smart and likable, so I took it with me, taught some enlightenment words, and when I was older in the future, I could learn Chinese and hyphenation, and I didn't want him to take the exam to be an official in the future, and he could find a good job if he knew how to read." ”

Su Shi is kind-hearted, there are many hard-working people in this era, and the streets are all over the street, Su Shi bought a subordinate slave and taught him to read, but he is much kinder than most people.

In this way, Gan Qi didn't feel that there was anything inappropriate for this child worker to serve Su Shi, and asked casually: "What is the name of this child?" ”

"Gao Yu." Su Shi replied casually.

"Gao Yu?" Gan Qi was slightly surprised, this Nima, is it really high?

Who is Gao Yu? The famous villain in "Water Margin", Gao Yanei, who robbed Lin Cong's daughter-in-law, is his adopted son. The former secretary of the Great Song Dynasty in Japan, the top official of the power center.

Su Zhe also replied: "Well, it's called Gao Yu, and the little guy is very clever." ”

Gan Qi thought about it later, and seemed to remember that he had read some essays by someone commenting on "Water Margin" before, Gao Yu was really from a small house next to Su Shi, not only did he read well, but he even learned the skills of blowing, playing and singing.

This skill of blowing the pipe, pulling the strings, playing the piano, and singing is probably also used by Su Shi in ordinary times, and Gao Yu is also deeply liked by Su Shi, otherwise Gao Yu would not have been able to get rid of the identity of the little guy later, and he was an official.

It seems that this Gao Yu is also really unlucky, born in a small house, brought up by Su Shi himself, and the poems and texts that he learned by Su Shi's side have been exposed to it, and he has worked hard to become a top official in the Great Song Dynasty, what an inspirational story, what an inspirational character. was blackened by a copy of "Water Margin".

Xiao Gao Yu couldn't wait for a moment to hurry back, respectfully served tea to Su Shi, and honestly stood beside Su Shi and waited for orders.

Gan Qi inexplicably felt a little pity for this historical figure who had been hacked so badly, and couldn't help but look at Gao Yu a few more times.

Su Shi saw Gan Qi go to see Gao Yu again and again, and said with a smile: "If Brother Dao Jian likes it, how about I give him to you?" ”

"That's it, Brother Zizhan can keep it for himself." Gan Qi didn't want to destroy Gao Yu's life trajectory, but when he saw Gan Qi get up, he said: "I went to the stage, and the two of you listen to me." ”

After saying that, Gan Qi went out of the door of the backfield, and went up the steps, the sound of the whole room had long stopped, and they were all standing up and waving, and everyone's eyes were filled with a kind of curiosity and sincerity.

"No need to be polite, today's lecture is also annoyed by you helplessly, but also by your sincerity, to say that with people as a teacher, I am willing to strengthen the qualifications of people, but I do not have this qualification."

"Mr. is too humble, Mr. is too humble......"

Gan Qi pressed his hand and said: "There is no need to flatter, the reading exam is to be an official, and if you don't have a reputation, you can't read the book well." Without further ado, what I want to talk about today is the essence of being an official and governing the country. ”

The topic that Gan Qi wanted to talk about was too big and too big, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was "the essence of governing the country", which stunned everyone in the audience.

Su Shi and Su Zhe in the backcourt also glanced at each other, very surprised.

Su Zhe asked with some doubts: "Brother, Brother Daojian, this topic is really ...... Even when he is the prime minister, he doesn't dare to talk about such a topic easily, the essence of governing the country is really terrifying. ”

Su Shi also said: "Yes, self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and leveling the world, and the sage teaches the way of governing the country, which is not something that can be said clearly for a moment and a half, how can Dao Jian be clear in this lecture hall?" ”

Su Zhe was worried that Gan Qi would not be able to say well, but Su Zhe was worried that Gan Qi could not speak clearly. This kind of topic, there is another trouble, that is, it is easy to cause controversy, the way of governing the country, this is the case, you say this is good, I think it is so good, then you have to fight.

But before listening to the head, Gan Qi said again: "Nowadays, the policy theory, the previous scientific examinations, most of them are based on the real way of governing the country as the examination questions, such examination questions, although it is useful to study the classics of scripture and history, but it is not just reading these can be tested. That's why I want to talk to you about the essence of governing the country, and you don't have to think too much, what I'm talking about today is not the way to govern the country, but the Tao is the means after all. Today is talking about the essence, and when the essence is seen clearly, the means can be used in ideas. ”

At this time, the Su family brothers had already gotten up and walked to the door, looking at Gan Qi on the podium, they seemed to be really attracted by Gan Qi's words, and they wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Gan Qi's gourd.

The audience is full of people, but there is still a little fog, the way of governing the country, from ancient times to the present, all kinds of schools, all kinds of theories, all kinds of theories, all kinds of historical facts, almost all of them are extremely detailed, but Gan Qi still wants to talk about the essence?

If this is not said well, it will be laughing and generous, and it will inevitably be full of arguments, Gan Qi's identity as a gentleman who is praised by others, I am afraid that it will become stinky shit.

If Gan Qi had been enlightened and convinced by everyone's words, then Gan Qi would almost be a saint who preached and solved his doubts today.

Everyone in the audience, including Su Shi and Su Zhe, not only had expectations, but they were actually worried about whether Gan Qi would just climb onto a small "altar", and immediately fell down, becoming a smile and generosity.
