Chapter 33—A Friend Comes from Far Away (1)
A carriage drove slowly on the gallop road, and Lu Wen drove the car, very smoothly, and he could be called an old driver!
The six arts of a gentleman, the all-round development of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and art were the basic requirements of Dong Zi and Huzi for their disciples back then.
It is the combat effectiveness of the old ram school, and among the various factions of Confucianism, it has always been the leader.
Whether it's a heads-up or a group fight, there is no opponent.
I think that back then, Pingjin Xianhou Gongsun Hong was seventy years old, and he could still do the civil and military affairs of the dynasty with his bare hands.
Dong Zi's disciple, Wuqiu Shouwang, is in his fifties, and he can still tie a sword around his waist, and he singles out local heroes in the state and county.
The other party who hit the head of the rat scurried.
The ram disciples even went to the battlefield and followed the Great Sima Champion Hou Huo to go on an expedition of thousands of miles, Le Shigu Yan Mountain, and seal the pervert of the wolf Juxu Mountain.
As for the art of driving and driving, Lu Wen had already begun to learn it when he was eight years old.
After twenty-two years of studying, today it finally comes in handy!
"Childe, Changshui Township is almost here......" Lu Wen turned back to the car and said, his tone was respectful and polite, which was completely the attitude of subordinates to superiors.
"Oh......" A young man in the car poked his head out, looking at the outside world with curiosity and amazement on his face, as if he was full of novelty about everything.
If you had been in one place for nineteen years, it would probably be the same.
"This Changshui Township, the scenery is good...... the young man looked at the distant scenery and praised sincerely: "It is quite what Lao Tzu said: chickens and dogs smell each other, and the people die and do not interact with each other......"
"Ran also ......" Lu Wen replied: "Nanling County is in the middle of the Upper Plains, where Chanba meets, and Changshui Township happens to be in the triangle where Chanba meets, since ancient times, it is the key point of the East Han Valley, and Emperor Gao once raised troops to dominate and watched the Xianyang ......"
The young man listened to Lu Wen's introduction, his eyes showed yearning, and he sighed: "It is difficult for our ancestors to start a business, my generation should be self-reliant and self-reliant, in order to comfort the ...... of our ancestors."
"Childe is wise, and he is a ...... congratulatory to the world," Lu Wen immediately bowed.
As he spoke, the carriage had already driven into the boundary of Changshui Township.
In the distance, a pavilion comes into view.
Dozens of people gathered under the pavilion to escape the blazing midday sun.
These people are dressed in Confucian robes and wear a crown of virtue, and they are all scholars.
It's just that their robes are all coarse linen, and they are poor scholars.
"Why are so many people gathered here?" The young man looked at the scholars gathered in the pavilion and was surprised: "Is there something big going on in this Changshui Township?" ”
"Childe, please let me go down and ask......" Lu Wen hurriedly said.
My heart is full of vigilance.
The guest in his car is very noble, and he can even be said to be a noble person who combines the hope of the world.
Not to mention that there is a problem in the pool, even if you lose a hair in this Changshui Township, I am afraid it will also cause an uproar!
With a wave of his hand, several knights following behind the carriage turned over and dismounted, heading towards the pavilion.
After a while, they came back and reported: "My lord, these scholars are all scholars from the poor families of Nanling County and Baling County, but they have heard that the Zhang family of Jiating in Changshui Township has opened the door widely, and they have gathered here to copy the book for free, and they want to ask the Zhang family for books......
"Transcribe the book?" The young man was surprised: "Do you still need to copy the book?" Isn't it possible to go to the Shiqu Pavilion and pick it up if you want to see it? ”
Lu Wen: "......"
Knights: "......"
"Ahem...... Lu Wen coughed twice and explained to the young man: "Childe, all the books in the world are hidden in the noble families of the scholars, and those from poor families often need years of work if they want to ask for a book......
Even if it was a scholar like him, in order to read the original "Zou Family's Spring and Autumn Period" in the Yang family's collection, it took half a year to move the Yang family and allow him to copy a copy.
"Why don't they buy it?" Young people don't understand anymore.
"Childe...... Since ancient times, there have been no people who sell books......" Lu Wen said embarrassedly: "Besides, even if someone sells it, ordinary people can't afford to buy ......"
"At the beginning, Emperor Xiaohui abolished the narrow book law and bought a private collection of books with a lot of money, but he was not allowed to ......"
"As for Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, he was benevolent, Ze was born by the common people, and only then did he dedicate his book to the imperial court......"
"At that time, a volume of "Analects", the imperial court bounty of 500 ......"
"Although it is not so exaggerated now, if ordinary people ask for books...... It is a general book, I am afraid that it also needs a few gold to buy, if it is a strange book, a military book, a number of books, even if it is a hundred gold, a thousand gold, it can not be seen at a glance......"
I think that back then, when he Lu Wen first entered Taixue, he heard that Huo Guang, the commander of the Che Du, had "Liutao" and "Sun Bin's Art of War", and wanted to take a look, and he relied on countless relationships before he got Huo Guangzhi's permission to enter his library to read for half a day, and he was not allowed to transcribe......
"In this way, this Zhang is really a virtuous man......" the young man praised, he thought for a moment, and then said, "He is worthy of being a good man valued by my grandfather......
"What Childe said is extremely ......," Lu Wen bowed.
But the look on his face was slightly embarrassed.
Everyone in the world knows the hardships of studying in a poor family, and he knows it.
However, those who can make the collection of books public and free of charge to people from poor families in the world can freely copy them, so far they have only had this weight.
What makes him even more ashamed is that this heavy book is probably 'lost' to him by Taixue.
It's embarrassing!
When the master was established, there was no class of teaching.
Among the seventy-two sages, there are not only scholars, but also poor families, as well as farmers and merchants.
The real comers do not refuse, and there is no class of teaching.
But as the heirs of his master, he and other Confucian scholars were self-cherished.
When encountering others asking for books, they still twist and pinch, and they are stingy and do not give it, and they say in a beautiful name: the scriptures cannot be given lightly, and the books cannot be given lightly.
To put it bluntly, don't you just want to monopolize the scriptures and hold the books on your own?
Thinking of this son again, the twenty-eight meanings of the Spring and Autumn Period written at the gate of Taixue.
Lu Wen was even more ashamed.
An old scholar of Huang can not only summarize and summarize and deduce the subtle words and meanings that the power and giants of the Ram School cannot pay attention to and know.
Now he is leading by example, the avenue of famous masters, teaching the world.
Who is the Confucian scholar?
Who is the successor of the Master?
Lu Wen's face turned red with shame.
The young man didn't notice anything, and his mind wasn't here at all.
"My grandfather ordered me to come here and be friends with this man...... Originally, I thought that this was just the joy and movement of my ancestors, but now it seems that this person may be my good friend! The young man thought to himself.
His family has needed a good friend to assist, advise, and admonish him for generations. Especially in the adolescent period, when the foundation is stable, such people are especially needed to give advice, and dissuade in time to make effective suggestions.
Like his grandfather, when he was growing up, he was guided by several mentors and friends, and eventually achieved great success.
As a young man who vowed to be like his grandfather and open up a big era, he naturally wanted to follow his grandfather's example, make mentors and friends, and reserve talents for the future.
