Yang Xiu didn't dare to answer Sun Ce's words, his eyes were sometimes excited, sometimes uneasy.

In Confucian culture, jade has an extremely important position, and can even be a symbol of civilized etiquette. In reality, jade is also closely related to imperial power, ordinary people can not easily use jade, the main user of jade is the royal family, jade is almost a technology designed for the service of imperial power, there is no market in the people. In the concept of readers, jade is civilization, and it can't be beaten with barbarians. If there are really a large number of jade relics between Qiantang and Yuhang, this is enough to prove that there was a high degree of civilization in that land, and maybe it is really a place where saints have been.

Who are the three emperors and five emperors, even the most learned Confucians can't tell, but coincidentally, whether it is talking about the five emperors or the three generations, Yu is a figure who can't get around. Whether it is Confucianism or Mohistism, Yu is highly respected, and there is a "Yu Gong" article in "Shangshu".

Sun Ce said so surely, if it is finally found out that Yue Ren is really Xia Yu's descendant, it will really be a big stab. In the "Taishi Gongshu", it is said that Yue Ren is the descendant of Yu, but there is no conclusive evidence, and there are not many people who believe it, so it is only Sima Qian's family.

Hongnong Yang's family passed on the modern scriptures, and they didn't even believe in the ancient scriptures, and dismissed them as fake books, not to mention those village husbands. If it turns out that these village folk sayings are not legends, but facts, it will be tantamount to helping the study of ancient scriptures. Jinwen Jingxue has encountered enough troubles now, and Yang Xiu doesn't want to fall into the well and kick it again. But Sun Ce has this habit, he supports Handan Chun, Hu Zhao and others to collect ancient monuments, just to rewrite the history of Chu. Yang Xiu didn't have this interest, he was half-forced and half-fooled by Sun Ce, it was okay to collect ancient tablets and play around, if he really wanted to tear down the foundation of Confucianism, he was not so mentally prepared at all.

In an instant, Yang Xiu really had the idea of turning around and returning to Chang'an. But such an opportunity was in front of him, and he was reluctant to let it go easily. This is an opportunity to start a sect, and you may not be able to meet it once in a lifetime. Besides, if he doesn't do it, Sun Ce will also find someone else, such as Xiang Lang, maybe he will be more decisive, and Confucianism will be more seriously injured.

"The general is really scheming." Yang Xiu said curtly, looking at him left and right, his momentum was obviously a little weaker.

Sun Ce smiled but said nothing.

There was silence all around, even the sound of firecrackers stopped, and hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at Yang Xiu in the city and under the city. In front of everyone's eyes, Yang Xiu's heart beat faster, and his mouth was a little dry. He looked around and felt remorseful. accidentally fell for Sun Ce's trick and made a fool of himself. In order to show that he was happy with the people, Sun Ce invited many local gentry from Wanling to the city to drink and have fun, and these people were now in the city, scattered around, waiting to see him make a fool of himself. If he can't refute Sun Ce, he won't be able to shake off the notoriety of "no culture".

The children of the Yang family, the third prince of the fourth generation and the heirloom of scripture and learning, are not educated? Even if you think about it on your toes, you know it's a joke. But Sun Ce came prepared, Yang Xiu didn't know the bottom of his heart, for fear that Sun Ce would turn around and take out a few pieces of ancient jade and force him to admit it on the spot, then there would be no room for redemption at all.

With Sun Ce's cunning, he really did this kind of thing.

Guo Jia walked over, grabbed Yang Xiu's shoulder, and smiled. "Okay, what kind of knowledge to talk about during the New Year, how to have fun with the people. Let's go, let's go down and walk. I think those dances are a bit interesting, but I can't understand them, Dezu, you can help me solve my doubts. ”

Yang Xiu borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and went down to the city with Guo Jia. Sun Ce smiled disdainfully, and sighed in a voice that Yang Xiu could just hear: "It's not terrible to be uneducated, but what is terrible is not to admit it and deceive yourself." Yang Xiu heard it clearly, but he didn't dare to refute it, so he had to pretend not to hear it, and left in a hurry with Guo Jia.

The gentry gathered around one after another and greeted Sun Ce warmly.

"General, is this really the case?"

Sun Ce laughed. "Whether it's true or not, it has nothing to do with you."

A little tyrant with a round face was puzzled. "General, what do you mean by that?"

"You're not Yueren." Sun Ce looked at them for a while and said with a smile: "If my guess is right, most of you are descendants of the Central Plains, if you really have to calculate carefully, maybe you are the descendants of the feudal monarchs of the ancient country, but you have forgotten yourself." For example, he ...... "Sun Ce pointed at Jiang Gan." "He is a descendant of Chiang. Go back and ask the old man, or see if there are any relics in the house, and ask the truly learned people to take a look, and maybe you can see a little way. Don't look for me, I'm less educated than Yang Dezu, I'm a martial artist. ”

The gentry laughed when they saw that Sun Ce was talking interestingly, and the originally somewhat restrained atmosphere suddenly became much more harmonious. has been in the barbarian for a long time, and has no culture, it is inevitable that he will have some inferiority, especially in the face of the existence of the Yang family of the fourth and third dukes. Hearing Sun Ce say this, they were also a little nervous, and wanted to go back and ask the old man to see if they were of noble blood.

Sun Ce provoked the conversation, but he hid to the side. Pretending to force this kind of thing is enough to know, you must know that you are clumsy, you will lose if you say too much, who knows where you will say the wrong thing, and you will be despised in vain.

Feng Wan and Huang Yueying came over, lying on the battlements left and right, looking at Sun Ce.

"Is there really an ancient country between Qiantang and Yuhang?" Feng Wan asked.

Sun Ce didn't rush to answer. He looked into the distance for a moment, and said quietly, "Personally, it doesn't really matter if you have a powerful ancestor or not. Even if he had, he wouldn't be able to protect you. Confucianism must be called Xia Shang Zhou, where are the descendants of the three generations, and what is the difference between them and ordinary people? If you want to live with dignity, relying on the shadow of your ancestors is the most unproductive one, and those who have the ability rely on themselves, not that I am proud of my ancestors, but that my ancestors are proud of me. ”

Huang Yueying smiled: "Hey, what a big breath, so why do you call yourself Sun Wuhou?" ”

"When did you hear me say that?"

Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and touched her nose thoughtfully. "yes, I don't think I've heard you say it."

Sun Ce stretched out his hands and held a person in one hand. "I prefer to look to the future rather than to recount my ancestors. Culture must be studied, and history must also be studied, but the purpose of studying history is not to find one's ancestors, but to study the way of rise and fall, and learn from the past and the future. No matter how great the ancestors are, they belong to the past, and only by working hard can there be a future, even if it is a small step. When you build a ship and set sail for the sea, do you know if you will find a new world? When that day comes, you can also leave your name in history and become a sage remembered by future generations. ”

Feng Wan covered her lips and smiled. "We're women, don't dare think so."

Huang Yueying's eyebrows were lightly raised. "Why not? In ancient times, there were also men and women who were all over the world and the great witches who were full of ghosts and gods. Shang Xiang wants to learn from women to be a general, and Zhao Ji can be a female doctor, why can't we be a giant who revitalizes Momen? ”

Sun Ce said: "Why do you have to revitalize Momen? You can completely absorb the knowledge of each school, take its essence, remove its dross, and start a sect. ”

Huang Yueying felt the same way, and nodded again and again in agreement.
