Chapter 52: Worship the Saints First

Wang Quanzao forcibly dragged Xu Deshan back, confirmed his thoughts with him, and watched Xu Deshan walk towards Liu Xian, this kid, does he really know that this Lord Liu in front of him is the governor of Yanzhou, and the meaning of this name can control the future and fate of the two of them.

In this way, Xu Deshan strode forward, Wang Quanzao followed, the two walked towards Liu Xian, Xu Deshan was looking at this Yanzhou Zhizhou while walking, and Liu Xian was also observing Xu Deshan, the legendary child who was favored by the Nine Heavens Xuannu.

I have to admit that Xu Deshan is indeed different, looking at the current scene, you can also know that ordinary children can walk in front by themselves and let a county magistrate follow behind, this is Xu Deshan's first impression on Liu Xiandao.

Originally, according to the practice of officialdom, even if Wang Quanzao's grade is small, he is also a magistrate, an official of the imperial court, how can he follow behind a little child, isn't this a loss of face in the entire Song Dynasty officialdom, but now in this scene, Liu Xian did not feel the slightest abnormality, as if it should have been like this, you look at Xu Deshan, his steps are steady, his head is held high, his spirit is full, and his expression is introverted, even if he has seen Liu Xian from afar, but Xu Deshan is still neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression is calm.

Xu Deshan came to Liu Xian, Wang Quan hurriedly introduced the two to each other, there is nothing to say, even if Liu Xian does not have the identity of Zhizhou, he is also Xu Deshan's elder, Xu Deshan gave Liu Xian a deep salute.

It seems that Xu Deshan's actions are quite polite, but Liu Xian doesn't think so, although the Great Song Dynasty pays attention to Confucianism, and generally monarchs and ministers don't need to bow down when they meet, but it is between monarchs and ministers, everyone is a scholar, and a disciple of Confucius Sage, so naturally there is no need for a big gift, and it is talked about by everyone.

This can be the case between monarchs and ministers, but not between officials and the people, because at this time the sage said that governing the country should be based on etiquette and law, and the common people will not kowtow when they see the officials, and they will kneel wherever they are, so when the people see officials, they will behave in a proper manner, and kneeling is certain.

Now it's okay, look at the kid in front of you, not only to the magistrate to drink, but also to see the governor don't kowtow, how can this be true, this is not the opposite of the sky, Liu Xian shouted: "Where did the nameless boy come from, dare to see the official without kneeling, what kind of system." ”

When Wang Quan heard this, he hurriedly asked Xu Deshan to bow down, but Xu Deshan didn't move, and said, "Lord Liu, why did you ask me to bow down?" ”

Liu Xian had never seen Xu Deshan so hard-mouthed, so he slowed down, then remembered, and said: "I am an official, you are a citizen, and you have no fame, so naturally you want to worship me." ”

Xu Deshan said: "My lord, if you say so, I can't worship you." ”

Liu Xian said coldly: "Why can't you worship?" ”

Xu Deshan said: "May I ask where is this, my lord?" ”

Liu Xian said: "This is the school you built. ”

Xu Deshan said: "That's it, this is the school, there are saints in the school, no matter what the identity of the adult, as long as you are a disciple of the saint, after entering the door, you must worship the saint first, how can you ask others to worship you first, is your identity higher than the saint?" ”

"You!" Liu Xian's eyes were rounded by Xu Deshan's anger, and he pointed at Xu Deshan with his finger, but he hummed for a long time, and he didn't know how to refute Xu Deshan.

This scene frightened Wang Quanzao next to him in a cold sweat, if Liu Xian gave an order now to take down Xu Deshan, it would be nothing to say, Xu Deshan's crime of disrespect, counting him as a child, would have to be beaten with dozens of sticks.

But looking at Liu Xian again, he was excited for a long time, and gradually calmed down, and finally took a deep breath, restored the proper appearance of Zhizhou, and nodded at Xu Deshan: "What you said is that lead the way ahead, I will go to meet the saint." ”

Could it be that this Xu Deshan is Lord Liu's illegitimate son? Speaking to Lord Zhizhou like this, Lord Zhizhou didn't even have a trace of blame, it was really a miracle, and then looked at the two, Xu Deshan immediately led the way in front, Liu Xian followed behind, and the two entered the gate of the school.

At this time, Liu Xian raised his eyes to look at this school, and sure enough, it was built a little different, only to see that this school, with a wide blue brick courtyard wall, thick and strong, black gate, made of pine, after entering the door is a large empty field, all of which are paved with loess, and some trees and flowers are planted on it, covering the world inside the door. From here, bypassing the trees, you can see that there is a road that divides the school into two, and on the left and right sides, three rows of houses were built, three rooms in each row, and a total of eighteen tiled houses were built, each of which must be ten steps long and eight steps wide, and the north and south are transparent, spacious and bright.

To tell the truth, Liu Xian was stupid at first sight when he saw this house, not for anything else, just the magnanimity of this house is beyond Liu Xian's imagination, you know, even if it is Liu Xian's own court, it is only a few steps before and after, as for the bedroom, it is even smaller, if you want to be bigger, you have to set up pillars in the house, just like the palace built by the emperor's ministers in Kaifeng City, but if you want to build that, it is not only costly, it is beyond the etiquette system, and Xu Deshan here is usually every room is bigger than his own yamen, And there are no pillars in it, and it looks very cheap, so I don't know how he built it.

Liu Xian walked to the front of the house, stared at it for a long time, silent, everyone was puzzled, thinking that Liu Xian had something to say in his heart, but Liu Xian held back for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "Xu Deshan, you built this house?" ”

Xu Deshan said: "It was built according to the sketch. ”

Liu Xian said: "How did you build this house so leniently? ”

Xu Deshan said with a smile: "This is the teaching of the Book of Heaven, everything is in the sketch." ”

Liu Xian said: "Where is the sketch, you explain it to me." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Don't worry, this is not a temporary work, when the school starts, I will explain all the sketches, if you are interested, you can send the craftsmen in the state to listen to the lecture." ”

It was only at this time that Liu Xian really examined the little child who only grew to his chest, and asked, "Do you want to teach others the things in the Book of Heaven?" ”

Xu Deshan said: "It's not to teach others, but to teach everyone in the world, if my Great Song Dynasty can everyone have this heavenly book, why worry about internal and external turmoil." ”

This time, Liu Xian didn't know if there was a Nine Heavens Xuannu, but anyway, he believed that Xu Deshan really had a book of heaven, originally Liu Xian thought that Xu Deshan didn't know where he got some crooked ways and misled everyone, but now look at people, people's means are not only powerful, but also dare to teach others, the most important thing, look at the ambition made by others, willing to teach these to the people of the world, such a tone, such a mind, even if it is the reincarnation of a saint, it is nothing more than that.

In the values of the Song Dynasty, the most important criterion for distinguishing a person from good and bad, success and failure is morality, before Xu Deshan was just an ordinary child, but when Xu Deshan made such a grand wish, even Liu Xian did not dare to be disrespectful to Xu Deshan again.

Liu Xian came out of the army, he deeply knew where the gap between the Song Dynasty army and the Liao army was, the Liao army was brave and warlike, there were many cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and the Song Dynasty was mainly infantry, but it was able to fight with the Liao State, and was able to beat the Liao State in some battles, the Liao people can beat you into a sieve with a single charge.

And these ordnance, want to manufacture, want to improve, want to develop, what does it rely on, it depends on the craftsman technology, Xu Deshan can build these houses, the obvious technology is a cut above those craftsmen, whether it is really learned from the heavens, or planed in the field, if Xu Deshan can teach them these techniques, then the ordnance of the Song Dynasty can not rise to a level.

Thinking of this, Liu Xian actually bowed deeply to Xu Deshan and said, "If it can be like this, Xu Gongzi will be virtuous and meritorious." ”

Well, at this time, Xu Deshan has not saluted Liu Xian, this Lord Zhizhou has saluted Xu Deshan first, how to play this game, Wang Quanzao's eyes on the side almost did not fall to the ground, and a heart in his throat can be regarded as put into his stomach, and at the same time, he is very glad that it is not a shame to give Xu Deshan a salute when he saw Xu Deshan for the first time, and now that Lord Zhizhou is here, it is not much different from himself.

Xu Deshan stopped Liu Xian at this time and said: "Lord Zhizhou, Fan Xianggong taught us that the worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy, this is the responsibility of my generation of people in the world, how to say merit." ”

Liu Xian said: "Xu Gongzi is too modest, people in the world don't have to say, if you can teach my Hebei craftsmen such skills, causing a rush, I will meet the Liao army again, I don't know how many lives will be saved, if this is not merit, then there is no merit in the world." ”

Xu Deshan dared to talk nonsense with Liu Xian, but other people didn't dare, they usually had to tremble when they saw the county, not to mention that the county was much bigger than the county, and at this time they were already kneeling together, not daring to look up.

Xu Deshan said: "Since Lord Liu thinks it is a merit, I still have a matter here to ask Lord Liu, I don't know if Lord Li can agree?" ”

Liu Xian said: "Young Master Xu, please speak face to face." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Now that the school has just been built, today the door is open to worship, since Lord Liu is here, I don't know if I can inscribe a pair of words for the school, hang it at the door of the school, and let the students pay respects." ”

Liu Xian's face suddenly bloomed with a smile, and he waved his hand and said: "Where is it, how can I be virtuous, mention words for this school, well, I just write a couplet." ”
