After Liu Lan sat down, he said: "It's a pity that you came to find the wrong person, the old man doesn't have any university questions to teach you." Zheng Xuan stroked his beard, squinted, and said in a calm tone.

Liu Lan doesn't believe that Zheng Xuan doesn't have the skills to help the country, in his impression, Confucianism has the idea of proposing benevolence and virtue to govern the world, and there is a rule of law for the country, why does he say that there is no way? It's obviously coping. "Even if I'm a beggar, you can't just take a piece of cake and send it away, why don't you have to reward a few copper plates?" Hehe smiled lewdly: "Sir, I laughed, if a great Confucian like you has no way to save the world and help the country, then I am afraid that no one in the world can have a way." ”

When Zheng Xuan heard him say this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, shook his head and smiled: "You are a little clever. But what is the method used today? ”

Liu Lan was stunned in his heart, this is needless to say, he can recite it on his back, the early Han Dynasty was a Taoist, the Wu Emperor Dynasty deposed a hundred schools, and the Confucianism was only respected after the Confucianism, although after Wang Mang's Fengtian Fagu, it was not until the Yuan Emperor Dynasty that Confucianism was completely laid, and he just asked like that, isn't it equivalent to 'asking for directions in blindness'? With a wry smile, he said, "What Mr. said is that now the clan has annexed land seriously, so that the people have no land to cultivate, but they don't know how to solve it." ”

Zheng Xuan didn't want to think about it and said: "The rule of the three emperors, the development of the well field, the opening of Qianmo, the land is state-owned, how can it be bought and sold?" How can the people have no land to plant? He said with a look on his face as if this was the only way to rule the world.

Liu Lan's heart seems to have fallen to the bottom, Fengtian Fagu, forehead drop god, why are people as smart as Wang Mang value Jingtian so much, why even wisdom is superior to Zheng Xuan is also optimistic about Jingtian, is it true that the legend that Confucianism in all dynasties has made Jingtian the best land system? Let's put it this way. Aren't they even more yearning for the Zen system where the virtuous people live like the Three Emperors? I was speechless in my heart, but I didn't expect me to open my mouth, and this old birthday star told himself that restoring Jingtian is the only way to govern land annexation? Isn't this a night back to the pre-liberation period? No, no, it's before returning to the Western Zhou Dynasty overnight, do you still want to let yourself drink blood like those ancients? Liu Lan, who was sweating badly, immediately showed an expression that I shouldn't have come.

And look at his changing face. Zheng Xuan didn't care, he just said to himself: "Actually, I didn't want to say these words to you, but do you know why I still said them?" ”

Surrounded by a spirit, Liu Lan thought to himself that no one wants to listen to your proposals, and you want to talk to someone? Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it, shook his head and said, "The kid doesn't know." ”

Zheng Xuan muttered to himself, "You should have seen a young man named Zhuge Liang." He shook his head imperceptibly.

"Zhuge Liang?"

Liu Lan was stunned in his heart, Zhuge Liang, of course I have seen it. But how did the old man know? Busy said: "I don't know how Mr. knows?" ”

Zheng Xuan looked at him with somewhat cloudy eyes and said, "He used to be my student. ”

Liu Lan looked at him suspiciously: "Once your disciple?" Could it be that he has already left the school? "It's really amazing, it's so big that he actually came out of the school.

"Nope."

Saying that, Zheng Xuan shook his head with great regret and said: "This son is smart and studious, but it's a pity that some ideas are too radical, so I recommended him to study with my old friend." ”

"Too aggressive? Did the sir say that he ...... to the clan?"

Zheng Xuan looked at him strangely, then relieved, nodded and said, "It seems that he told you everything." He sighed and said, "The saint rules the world with virtue, if this son is in power one day." If there is a Ming monarch who can be controlled, it can be regarded as a capable minister. If there is no Ming Jun to restrain him, he will be a thief in trouble. ”

Liu Lan heard that his hairs stood up, Zhuge Liang, the symbol of wisdom in later generations, was so unbearable in his teacher's mouth? He stammered, "Why did the gentleman say that?" ”

"This son compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi."

Zheng Xuan glanced at Liu Lan and saw that he was not surprised. Only then did he say: "From this point, we can see that this son has great ambitions, and if he can follow me diligently to cultivate the way of a saint, he will be unlimited in the future." ”

said this, but his face was full of disappointment, and he said: "It's a pity that it's so beamy." It's a pity......"

Liu Lan's heart blossomed with joy when he listened, and he was happy to say what to learn from you? And you learn to be sealed weekly? Learn Ida? If this is the case, how can humanity progress? I think it's okay if Zhuge Liang doesn't learn, or if he doesn't learn. Fortunately, this old birthday star didn't educate Xiao Zhuge into an old talent who is full of mouths, otherwise where can I find the great immortal of Niu B in history? said lightly: "The kid sees that even if Zhuge Liang doesn't continue to study diligently with Mr., he may not become a thief in the country as Mr. said, after all, he is still young now, and his temperament is not yet formed, and Mr. will inevitably be alarmist." ”

"That's why I recommend him to my old friend to continue his studies."

After Zheng Xuan finished speaking, he waved his hand and said: "I'm not alarmist, since you know his proposition, you naturally know what he wants to do, but he wants to be the enemy of the entire clan. ”

Who is Liu Lan? The five good young people of socialism naturally strongly supported Zhuge Liang's idea of fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land, but they opposed him so radically, and now he finally saw the ugly face of Confucianism, but he did not dare to show it, he did not want to become the person who stood on the opposite side of the broad intellectual class without any foundation. He thought for a while and said some of his suggestions: "Zhuge Liang's idea is that there are some things that still need to be considered, but it is a good prescription. Speaking of this, Liu Lan looked at Zheng Xuan and smiled: "Sir, what do you say?" ”

Zheng Xuan nodded and said, "I don't deny that what you said is right. His face became serious in vain, and he said: "I have been in the countryside all these years, but I have also seen the suffering of the people, and it is not until recently that I finally realized in my heart, but it is a pity that 'he' has gone down to Jiangdong." ”

He said with some regret: "If I had the opportunity to tell him these words, maybe he might not be able to change." ”

Liu Lan, who was sitting opposite him, had just picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip, but when he suddenly heard Zheng Xuan say this, he immediately put down the teacup and asked, "What is the high opinion of Mr.?" I wonder if I can tell the kid? ”

Although Zheng Xuan's eyes were cloudy, at this time, there was a sudden flash of essence, and he nodded: "It's okay." It is also an opportunity for you and me to meet today, maybe you can tell him what I have to say? ”

Suddenly found that the old birthday star was a little impatient, Liu Lan woke up like a dream, it turned out that he wanted to let him pass the word to his proud protégé 'Brother Pig' early in the morning, so that's it, I said. How could he see a great Confucian like Zheng Xuan so easily. He swore and said, "The boy will definitely speak." After speaking, he was a little puzzled: "But why didn't Mr. pass on the book to Zhuge Liang himself?" ”

Zheng Xuan's face changed greatly, and even his eyes became even darker, and he waved his hand for a long time and smiled bitterly: "Do you still listen?" ”

"Listen, of course." Liu Lan hurriedly replied at the same time, but his heart sank, it seems that the old birthday star has something unspeakable, I don't know what happened to him and Zhuge Liang? Liu Lan would never have known that today's Zheng Xuan had almost finished the sighs of his life, only to see him sigh. said: "What Zhuge Liang said is that he wants to divide all the clans in the world to the people, yes or no? ”

"Yes. That's what he said in the first place. ”

"Let's not talk about the high-ranking families, but ......" Zheng Xuan found that his throat was dry, and hurriedly took a sip of tea and said: "But you know that the reason why the little rich people and rich peasants in the township have become rich and rich peasants, except for a few heirs and ancestors, most of them are because of their ......" said and pointed to the temple.

Liu Lan looked at Zheng Xuan in surprise and said secretly: "Did the ancient people praise others for their intelligence and make such gestures?" It's the first time I've seen it. Interesting, interesting. He smiled, "That's what Mr. said." But they are more discerning and wiser than the rest of the people. ”

Zheng Xuan smiled: "Yes, but it's not just that, it's because they are more able to bear hardships and stand hard work than other people." ”

"Sir is right, this is the most important thing, if a person is smart. But if you don't want to work, and you are only content with enjoyment, you will still achieve nothing in the end. ”

Zheng Xuan smiled slightly, and said: "There is also that they know how to cherish it more and are more diligent and thrifty. Pay more attention to the income from labor, such people often convert the savings saved by thrift into farm property, so that the little money becomes more, and eventually become the local small rich, small gate valves, people like this abound, do you say that I am right? ”

Liu Lan didn't know that he suddenly thought of the landlords and old fortunes of later generations, and said in his heart that these landlords didn't expect to start like this in any era. Nodding his head, "Sir's analysis is right, this is exactly how they made their fortune." ”

"Such a person, if he is not the heir of the ancestors, but he is also the leader of the people, for example, the person who inherits the ancestors of the virtue, if he is a lazy person, his family business will decay, and he will gradually become a rich peasant from a small clan, and the rich peasant will gradually become a middle peasant, and the middle peasant will gradually become a poor peasant."

"Sir, what you said is inevitably ill-conceived, poor peasants are not all like this, for example, a family of four with two sons, after the death of their father, if there are ten acres of land, then his brothers will each get five acres, so ......"

Zheng Xuan shook his head noncommittally and said with a smile: "I didn't say that poor peasants are all produced as I said, and as you said, don't those two children each own five acres of land, as long as they can have the three I said and are hardworking enough, they will still become little rich, right?" ”

Liu Lan heard Zheng Xuan say this, and he really thought that the density of the Chinese population was the main bane, but at this time, when he heard Zheng Xuan say this, he felt that it was not the case, and he didn't know how to answer, only to hear Zheng Xuan continue: "It's that his brothers are not smart enough, but as long as they are thrifty, they can still live in peace." ”

"Also, even if they're not smart enough and frugal enough, they can still go to the clan and become tenant farmers, so they can still have food and clothing, right?"

"But most of these clans are mean and unkind, and treat these tenant farmers like cattle, if it is a good year, it is easy to say, if it is a disaster year, will it not be bankrupt?"

Liu Lan thought for a while, and said: "Moreover, once they become tenant farmers, they owe the landlord ......" said this, but hurriedly changed his words: "Small clan Shimi, then this interest will increase more and more, I am afraid that I will become a tenant farmer of the clan family in this life." ”

Zheng Xuan seemed to look at a monster: "Where did you hear this?" ”

"Me?"

Liu Lan looked at him in surprise and thought, "Of course, it looks like it from the textbooks of later generations." But he couldn't say it, so he could only subconsciously ask, "Did I say it wrong?" ”

"They are not slaves, and they will not be at the mercy of others as you say, they all sign contracts with the clan, and the harvest in a good year is not the same as the harvest in a disaster year."

When he said this, he shook his head and said, "Of course, there will be the wicked people you say, but this kind of people are often not educated enough, if you can use the way of the saints to influence them, this matter can also be solved." ”

Forehead drop God, is it the benevolence and morality of a saint? Liu Lan was not a 'Great Khan' or 'Violent Khan' at this time, but a 'Genghis Khan', thinking in his heart that if benevolence, righteousness and morality could really influence these evil landlords, then why should he 'fight local tyrants'?
