Chapter 186: Wine

Zhou Zhi glanced at Yang Jinshan's back, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneer of disdain. Said secretly, Yang Jinshan framed me like this, wait, the master will definitely want you to look good.

Hum! A small character like Yang Jinshan can only use such a vicious trick and have no IQ at all. Do you think that you can use this method to make Liu Yu and Liu Daru not accept me as an apprentice? I'm afraid that you will see me too simply.

Zhou Zhi had a letter of recommendation from Peng Ze and Wang Shu to Liu Yu. If he takes it out at this time, even if Liu Yu says such a ruthless word just now, it is estimated that he will accept Zhou Zhi as an apprentice. After all, Wang Shu and Liu Yu have a close relationship, and Wang Shu's reputation is very good. "Two capitals and twelve departments, one unique Wang Shu." Liu Yu will definitely give Wang Shu face.

But at this time, Zhou Zhi didn't want to take out the two letters of recommendation, after all, it was relying on others. Only through his own efforts made Liu Yu have a good impression of himself and accept himself willingly, he felt at ease.

With such an idea, Zhou Zhixuan immediately bowed to Liu Yu and said, "Master, please stay first, and the kid also implores the master to listen to what the kid says." ”

After Liu Yu angrily rejected Zhou Zhi, he turned around and was about to leave, when he heard Zhou Zhi's very humble words, he couldn't help frowning slightly, but he stopped.

Liu Yu knew that Zhou Zhi came from Qingdu County, more than 300 miles away from here, and it would take four or five days to walk. Although he was not accepted as a disciple, it was okay to listen to him, and it could be regarded as being kind to him.

Hehe! From this point of view, although Liu Yu has an eccentric temperament, he is also approachable.

However, Liu Yu's face was still ugly at this time, and he snorted, "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”

Zhou Zhi said slowly, "The kid actually arrived in this academy just after noon, and the master taught in it, and the kid also listened to some of it, and the kid just didn't know something, and he wanted to ask the master."

In the course of the Master's teaching, the boy heard the Master often sigh, and the boy felt the same way! ”

"Wine Letter" is an alcohol abstinence order issued by Zhou Gong. At that time, the Yin Shang nobles were fond of drinking, and the princes and ministers were drunk and abandoned. Zhou Gong was worried that this vice would cause chaos, so he asked Uncle Kang to announce a ban on alcohol in Weiguo, prohibiting alcoholism, and stipulating a decree prohibiting alcohol.

When Liu Yu was teaching, he explained very thoroughly according to the original text, and explained the obscure ancient texts in a simple and easy to understand manner, which shows that Liu Yu really has a deep knowledge of the "Book of Shang". But Liu Yu explained a situation to the students, but he had another idea in his heart.

This kind of thinking was derived from Liu Yu's deep understanding of "Shangshu" combined with his years of experience as an official and seeing the hard work of the people of the world.

But Liu Yu's inner thoughts can only be hidden in his heart, but he can't explain them to students. Often, Liu Yu felt a little depressed in his heart. In Liu Yu's opinion, no one will figure out his inner thoughts, and no one has as deep thoughts about "Wine Message" as he is.

At this time, when I heard Zhou Zhi say the same feeling, I couldn't help but be very surprised and my heart was shocked. A pair of aggressive eyes fell on Zhou Zhi's face, stared at Zhou Zhi tightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you feel the same way as the old man?" I wonder what you think? ”

Zhou Zhi was waiting for his words. In later generations, Zhou Zhi has seen the original text and translation of this "Wine Message", as well as the interpretation of many people. After the crossing, when I read "Wine Message", Zhou Zhi was even more deeply touched.

Zhou Zhi's words obviously aroused Liu Yu's interest, and Zhou Zhi said with a solemn face, "The kid thinks that Zhou Gong's "Wine Message" is biased.

At that time, the princes, nobles and officials at all levels had a preference for wine that could not be controlled. Alcoholism misled the country, alcoholism lost the country, drinking became a trend, the upper class of society indulged out of control, and the officials carnivaled to the point of forgetfulness, and Zhou Gong ordered a ban on alcohol.

However, Zhou Gong issued a ban on alcohol, but he did not take into account the people of the world. The kid thought it wasn't a bad thing for the people to drink a little bit of wine. The people live in hardship, there is no leisure for a year, and there is no opportunity or condition to drink and relax in ordinary times.

Taking a step back, even if the people drink all day long, it will not give birth to corruption and mislead the country and the people.

Besides, it is precisely because of wine that people can be inspired, 'Li Baidou has a hundred poems about wine, Zhang Xu has three cups of grass sage, Jiao Sui Wudou Fang Zhuoran, and he talks eloquently and shocks four feasts. ’

Therefore, the kid thought that this "Wine Message" was actually promulgated by Zhou Gong without standing in the perspective of the people of the world, and he owed Zhou Xiang to consider. ”

The content of the Book of Shang is vast and profound, and it has been regarded as a treasure by later generations, where would anyone put forward such an opinion? How hard does it take for a person to come up with such an opinion to read, and how clever must his mind be? After hearing this, Liu Yu couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, staring at Zhou Zhi for a long time and was silent.

What Zhou Zhi said just now is exactly what Liu Yu thought when he was teaching "Wine Message". But he didn't dare or was inconvenient to tell his students.

Liu Yu secretly said that although this person is not very old, he is thoughtful, attentive to reading, and good at thinking. Dead reading, reading dead books can only become a nerd, and your future achievements are limited. Zhou Zhi in front of him is obviously not a person who reads dead books.

Peeking at Liu Yu's expression, Zhou Zhi was secretly happy. After a slight pause, he continued, "The boy thinks that wine is quite magical, and it is necessary to look at it from two sides.

First, drinking alcohol can relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, relieve fatigue, lift the spirit, and stimulate the nerves, and in many cases it is also an indispensable weapon for making friends.

Second, alcohol also has its disadvantages, excessive consumption can destroy people's bodies and make people mentally degenerate. Officials who drink too much can corrupt and degenerate, women who drink too much can lose their lives, and thieves who drink too much can embolden and do even worse things.

Reading is the same, the foundation is important, and the ten-year cold window will surely hone the mind and make people have talent and learning. But some people can read for a short time and learn a lot from it.

The main thing to look at here is whether you read with your heart. If you concentrate on reading without distractions, you can quickly enter the book and experience the beauty of Yan Ruyu, the Golden House, and the Thousand Zhongsu. ”

When Liu Yu heard this, he was thoughtful. Especially Zhou Zhi's remarks about wine spoke to his heart.

Speaking of which, Liu Yu is also a good drinker, but when he is older, his wife and children and grandchildren oppose him drinking all day long, which makes Liu Yu troubled and helpless. Today, with Zhou Zhi's remarks, he can tell his children and grandchildren about the benefits of drinking.

Moreover, among all the students he has taught, there are very few people who can have such insight as Zhou Zhi. At this time, he had to face up to Zhou Zhi, and deep in his heart changed his initial impression of Zhou Zhi, and had a good impression of Zhou Zhi.

has been carefully and secretly observing the changes in Liu Yu's face and eyes, his eyes are the voice of his heart, how could Zhou Zhi let go of this opportunity, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said loudly, "The boy has been here to apprentice to the master for a long time, and I hope that the master will accept the boy." If the master resolutely refuses to accept the boy, the boy will have no shame to return home, and he will simply kneel and die in this Liu Family School. ”

"Get up! Hehe! You kid is quite scheming, but the old man likes your scheming, hehe! Liu Yu laughed loudly.

He asked Zhou Zhi to get up, which was undoubtedly a promise to accept Zhou Zhi as a student.

From this point of view, Liu Yu is also a very hearty person.
