Chapter 29 A gentleman is not different, and he is good at things

Books are the ladder of human progress.

It's just that everyone has never seen this kind of ladder before, and it is a new thing. The people present, including Confucian leaders and elites of the scholar clan, are all well-informed, but it is also the first time that someone has seen someone who can write words on paper, and they are neatly aligned, and they are full of artistic beauty.

Nonsense, the words on the book were printed by Cai Yong's own handwriting as a template, and Lord Cai also used his own creation of "flying white body", can it not have artistic beauty. For the matter of leaving a name in history, Lord Cai has great enthusiasm.

After Cai Yan's introduction, Zhou Yi knew who the great Confucians who came to the city, including Cui Yan from Qinghe, Wang Jing, Xu Ci from Nanyang and others. Zhou Yi thought about it, and he didn't have any impression of these people, and there seemed to be no record in history. These people have their own Cai Yong hospitality, and Zhou Yi is not too concerned about these Confucians.

Zhou Yi was concerned about whether there were any famous people among the scholars who came to listen to Cai Yong's lecture this time, such as Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu. The people Zhou Yi encountered before were all military generals, and none of the ministers were encountered. When I listened to Lu Zhi's lectures in Taixue before, I didn't meet the ministers, which disappointed Zhou Yihaosheng. It would be great if you could take this opportunity to get acquainted with a few advisors.

There is a saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After many inquiries, there is no celebrity in my memory. Most of the people who come here to listen to the lectures are still locals who stay in Chen, to make a name for themselves and make friends. In the distance, there were only a few scholars from Yingchuan, but not the ones in my impression.

It seems that the lectures of Confucianism in this era are like short-term business training courses run by universities in later generations.

The school builds a platform where teachers teach their own academics, and the trainees rarely come to learn knowledge, in order to make more friends and expand their network. Everyone takes what they need, and the lively trick is sung.

The Cai family is like a university, what they want is fame,

Cai Yong is like a teacher, expanding his fame and preaching his scholarship.

Scholars from all over the world are like trainees of training courses, who come here to meet more people. After I go out, I can also say that I have listened to lectures and who I am a student of whom, so as to improve my value. Whether in the late Han Dynasty or in later generations, such people abound.

Liu Bei is one of the representatives, after listening to Lu Zhi's lectures, he goes around saying that he is Lu Zhi's student to improve his reputation. Under Lu Zhi's door, Liu Bei also met nobles and expanded his contacts, and Gongsun Zhan, who also listened to Lu Zhi's lectures, was Liu Bei's nobleman and good friend.

In such a situation, a truly famous and learned scholar will not come. Let Zhou Yi be happy in vain.

To say that Zhou Yi benefited the most this time, Cai Yong's lectures were partly for Zhou Yi's printing technology. also set aside half a day for Zhou Yi to explain printing.

After all, Cai Yong was not all alone in lecturing for three months, and other cameo Confucians also had a few opportunities to give lectures. Otherwise, everyone has the same reputation, who will cheer you on. From this point of view, Zhou Yi feels that it is more similar to the training courses of later generations, and the business school training courses also invite business leaders and industry experts to give guest lectures from time to time.

Zhou Yicheng seriously explained the printing technique to everyone, and everyone was surprised. In this era, there is no patent, and everyone will not use this to make money, and writing books and biography is only for the name of the article and for the inheritance.

When it came to the exchange session, someone stood up and asked, "Brother Naruhito, how did you come up with the idea that printing is so cumbersome and magical?" ”

"'A gentleman is not different, and he is good at things', I was also inspired by the old man Xunzi. The old man Xunzi taught us to be good at using tools in order to improve efficiency. "Zhou Yi can't say that I already knew that I wouldn't be beaten to death in this way, and I moved out of the ancients to endorse it.

Then Zhou Yi began to make up a story, how he was inspired by the seal, and suddenly thought that it would be good if he could print the words on paper like a seal, so he began to experiment, and fortunately it was realized by himself......

There was silence below, shouldn't you applaud Zhou Yixin for saying such a wonderful story?

"Brother Deren, is Xunzi's words explained like this?" Finally, someone down there was a voice.

Are you focusing on the main point, I'm talking about the great invention of printing, and you're picking out words for me.

Isn't Xunzi's sentence explained like this?

Obviously, Zhou Yi underestimated the importance that people attached to ancient classics in this era, and had a clear explanation for ancient classics. No one has explained this sentence in this way, and it is usually understood that it is to rely on external forces, and no one specifically refers to tools.

Zhou Yi became a supporter of the Mo family with this explanation, which involved the struggle of academic sects.

At this time of the Han Dynasty, the hundred schools of thought were deposed. Everything in the Mo family is considered to be a trick and is not worth mentioning.

But Zhou Yi didn't know this, and in order to make everyone understand, he advocated the importance of tools.

In the end, Cai Yong couldn't stand it anymore, and directly asked Zhou Yi to go down. But some of Zhou Yi's words caused quite a stir among the scholars.

In any era, the emancipation of the mind is very difficult, especially the change of concepts. However, once an opinion is raised, as long as it is discussed frequently, it often ends up with a more correct view of the matter.

As for whether everyone finally accepts this view, it will depend on the test of time.

However, for a long time later, when people in the scholar clan introduced Zhou Yi, they all said: "This is Zhou Yi and Zhou Deren who are good at things and fake." ”

For a while, it was also a beautiful talk.

Cai Yong's lecture has not yet been finished, and the will of the imperial court has arrived, of course, not for Cai Yong, but for Zhou Yi.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: appoint the general of the broken captive, Shanyang Pavilion Marquis Zhou Yi as the Liaodong Taishou, go to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu to listen to the Xuan, pacify the Liaodong judgment. Depart within three days after receiving the will. ”

It turned out that Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang, and Zhang Ju, the former Taishan Taishou, colluded with the Wuhuan people to launch a rebellion, gathered more than 100,000 people, killed the court officials, and the people of the Han Dynasty, and the court let Liu Yu of the clan serve as the pastor of Youzhou to be responsible for quelling the rebellion. Before Liu Yu took office, he named Zhou Yi to serve under the account.

It is now the beginning of the third year of Zhongping, and it is said that Zhang Chun will rebel next year, is it wrong, no matter. Since the court has called, the counterinsurgency is.

Cai Yan and Zhou Yi have only been married for more than a year, and Zhou Yi is going to go to the border again to quell the chaos, of course, he is reluctant. That night, Cai Yan and Zhou Yi also lingered as much as possible to make a final farewell.

The next day, Zhou Yi stepped on a journey, and said goodbye to Dian Wei by the way. In fact, I wanted to see if it was possible for Dian Wei to go north with Zhou Yi. One more fierce general like Dian Wei on the battlefield is sometimes enough to change the tide of battle.

Although Zhou Yi and Dian Wei are both in Chenliu, one is in Weiguo and the other is in Jiwu. One is in Kaifeng and the other is in Shangqiu. I've only seen one time in between.

When I went to Dian Wei's house, the lady of the Dian family was still very enthusiastic, after all, the marriage of the lady of the Dian family and Dian Wei was still Zhou Yibao's matchmaker. But when Zhou Yi explained his intentions, the face of the lady of the pawn family sank, and she no longer had a good face for Zhou Yi. If you want to kidnap other men's men to the battlefield, it's strange that the pawn lady can have a good face.

As soon as Zhou Yi saw it, he never mentioned the matter again, and after a long time with Dian Wei, he was about to leave. It seems that it is difficult for Dian Wei to go north together this time.

Unexpectedly, when she went out, the lady of the Dian family had already packed up Dian Wei's things. This is really a twist and turn, and the women of big families are really not to be underestimated.

But Zhou Yi spent the belly of a woman with the heart of a villain.
