Chapter 129: The Teachings of the Donglin Chief
Gao Panlong casually sat down on a chair, smiled at Mao Yulong and said, "You can sit down too." β
Mao Yulong bowed again, "Mr. is here, how can I sit down?"
"You are so respectful to me, but you are restrained, and you have such an accident at a young age, it's not good, it's not good."
"I respect Mr.'s knowledge, and I am restrained by Mr.'s virtue, but I am facing the elders in the family, how can I be a student." Mao Yulong said with a smile.
Gao Panlong and the master were stunned, turned to look at each other and laughed, Gao Panlong said to Mao Yulong, "Jingxiu, I really envy you now for having such a good apprentice." β
To be so praised by the leader of Confucianism, the master was already full of pride red light, but his mouth deliberately admonished Mao Yulong, "Flamboyant tongue, if you go on like this, you will be punished for copying a hundred books." β
Gao Panlong shook his hand and smiled, "It's over, it's over, although the strict master is a high-level apprentice, but it's too late, don't kill Meiyu Liangcai." β
The master explained with a smile, "This son is talented and thoughtful, is it just that a dog crawling word, it just makes me look at vomiting, I can't make any hand, I am really angry." β
As he spoke, he took out Mao Yulong's handwriting in his sleeve, and handed it over with both hands, "Sir, look at it, is this still called a word, I don't dare to say that he is my protΓ©gΓ©, for fear of losing my old face." β
Gao Panlong couldn't help laughing when he saw Mao Yulong's words, pointing to the words is really nothing to say.
Mao Yulong stood there embarrassedly, "Is my handwriting bad, square, square, good." But seeing Gao Panlong's expression, it turned out to be very casual and insipid, this may be the depth of knowledge returning to nature, so Mao Yulong didn't have the little nervousness that he had seen historical celebrities before.
Putting down this bad word, Gao Panlong asked a few allusions in the Analects casually, and asked Mao Yulong's opinion.
Mao Yulong was a veteran in the previous life, and he began to talk eloquently, often with amazing words, the tiger's Gao Panlong, a generation of grandmasters, was stunned, and finally couldn't help but sigh, "This is really a talented person from the country, although some understanding is a little deviant, but it is not unreasonable, we are all old, old." β
Such a comment is extremely high, although the master still teaches and blames, but he is already honored.
After all the tests were taught, Gao Panlong brought the topic to the main topic of this meeting with Mao Yulong.
"I once heard that when you received the first time you received the rice, you went back and forth between the scholars and the grain store, bought low and sold high, and made a small fortune, becoming a laughing stock among the scholars, and I heard that you were in the plum garden of Guangji Temple, playing with your classmates, doing a 25-grid gambling contract, and almost winning the family's bankruptcy, I don't know where your idea came from."
Mao Yulong said with a smile: "In addition to studying the sage book, the kid is also involved in the mathematics that the sage said, and the sage disciple is also a businessman. As for the 25-squares bet, it is also bullying classmates and will not count. Then he smiled mischievously, "Fortunately, Senior Brother Song's family is rich, and I am in need of money, so I played tricks on him by the way, making up my urgent needs, and laughing and laughing." β
Gao Panlong laughed, then stopped his voice, nodded and said, "After learning to cultivate oneself, do some legitimate business and join the family, and then rely on what you have learned to raise money to save people, this is really the inevitable result of the establishment of the book to be used, the knowledge of things and the cultivation of personal morality." Then he stroked his beard and sighed, "The old man has also been an official several times, and when he saw those who were officials, he talked about the essence of the saint one by one, but he was useless in governing the place and calculating money and food, and he needed to hire a master to manage it everywhere." In this way, he was deceived by the master and other villains, and gave those pickled things the opportunity to get their hands on them, which is really a pity. β
Then he stood up and said to himself, "The study of the sages is only to teach us how to cultivate ourselves and how to educate the people, but not how to govern the country. To govern the country, there are several skills in the back, and now the six arts of Confucius have been read astray. So that Song Nian brother of yours lost 10,000 taels of silver, which is not wronged, but he deserves it. β
"Scripture is the foundation, the use of things, complementing each other is the king's way, for the official side, governing a place, all have to borrow the hands of others, then what use is this official is just a rice worm." Mao Yulong smiled and explained.
Such an assertion is in line with Gao Panlongge's concept of governing the country with things, of course, it sounds pleasing to the ear, so it is another sigh of appreciation.
"Your Sick Plum Garden Chronicle can be described as a famous article, the main thing is that it is right to the common shortcomings of the current literati, and this good article has caused a sensation in Shilin. For those morbid scholars, you can really be said to be pointing at the bald man and scolding the monk. In the future, you should be more low-key, you are young after all, don't be jealous and slandered by everyone because of this, and it will not be good to become the target of public criticism. When he said this, Gao Panlong was in pain.
He did not suffer because he was belittled by the eunuchs, but he was bitter that the useful learning he advocated for governing the country and leveling the world was not recognized, and he was bitter that empty talk was now the norm.
He has such a high prestige, but he still feels powerless for the difficulty of moving forward for his ideas, and what kind of pressure will this hairy boy who wants to swear to cure the sick plum will be, he really can't bear a rookie who shares his own ideas, and is ruined by a group of empty talkers.
Mao Yulong said, "Thank you Mr. for your care, but the kid is sad that the current style of writing is empty and can only talk about it." If this is the case, how can I have the ability to govern this country, which is the so-called self-cultivation and family and then rule the world, if the pillars of the future dynasty are all empty talk, will not miss the country and I can't change the world, then I will start to change from myself, the people around me. β
This is not Mao Yulong singing a high note, this is indeed a portrayal of his heart.
When a person changes a history, it takes a lot of encounters and conditions. As a traverser, Mao Yulong also has a sense of mission and wants to do something for this old empire. But the traverser is not omnipotent, he will die if he is stabbed, and he will die if he catches a cold. With the environment he is in now, even if it is smooth, step by step until he can bring his ideas to the heavens and make the emperor pay attention to them, there is still a long, long way to go. Who can guarantee that on this long road, he will not end his life because of a little thing
Crossing is possible, but crossing is definitely not a panacea.
And no matter what it is, it may not necessarily come according to the traverser's ideas, such as this Gao Panlong's reception, in the eyes of outsiders, he is famous in Donglin, that is, one step to the sky, and the advantage is that it is inexhaustible.
But Mao Yulong knew that it was this meeting that might bring him a monstrous disaster.
