Chapter 334: The Past and the Present

Huang Jin and Ding Lao really don't know what the state religion can do, but don't let other sects in the world laugh at it again.

Ding Lao thought for a long time and said: "Although the Taiping is vulgar now, however, the Taiping Sutra is a Taoist classic, in which virtue is the main raising, and the Tao Te Ching is in the same line, why don't we start here?" ”

"But this is inevitably too little, can Ding Changshi know, has there been a new Taoist scripture written by the state religion recently?" Huang Jin asked.

"This ......" Ding Lao sighed, shook his head and said: "The heart of the state religion is used on how to stabilize its position, and it is really ...... for Taoism."

In Dong Ce's view, the Taiping Dao of the Ning Dynasty is to take half of the classics to go around the world, preaching only the most superficial truth, but it is precisely because of the shallowness and easy to understand that it has won the hearts of the people, and it has not allowed you to study what heaven and earth are natural, as long as you know, it is good to convince people with virtue, right, know virtue, understand virtue, is a virtuous person, on the contrary, no virtue is a villain, this is enough.

But if you ask these Taiping believers, what is virtue? Where does virtue come from? Don't say they can't say it, even Taiping disciples have to go to the book.

Of course, they will not answer positively, but will only say, they don't even know virtue, so how can they talk about virtue?

It's not that they don't learn, but they really put their minds on how to bewitch the rich, collect thousands of taels, and then spend half of the money to build bridges and pave roads, or, how to climb up, go to the Taoist temple in the central capital to seek work, and it is best to let their descendants enter the officialdom and so on.

Of course, they did this with the tacit approval of the top management of Taiping Dao, because if they didn't do this, their status would have been lost a long time ago!

Some Taiping disciples who knew about virtue would say that virtue is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, gentleness, respect, humility, etc., all virtues.

But it just so happened that the man was a Confucian scholar, so he and they began to dig deeper into loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, but after asking questions, no one could answer.

Whether it is the Taiping Sutra, the Tao Te Ching, or the Book of Changes, there are records and understandings of virtue in them, but the things in the books, who have read them, who don't know, what does it mean for you to read according to the book? Can't you put forward your own opinions? Is it better to rule by virtue or by the rule of law? What are the shortcomings of the rule of virtue, and how can they be remedied?

The difficulty is here, after all, those who do learning and making money are not all the way, but the Taiping Dao is also included in doing learning, if they don't use their strength at that time to destroy these people who are red with their three eights, do they still have today's status?

Fortunately, Ning Taizu died before he could kill them all, allowing them to recuperate, and even more unscrupulously suppressed other sects.

Now, the problem has returned to this point again, and in the past ten years, they still have not grown, after all, their minds are spent elsewhere, and it is not easy to pick it up?

Not to mention, what kind of heirloom work is written.

Ding Lao only understood at this moment that it was not easy to pull the national teacher to His Majesty's side! Even if the national teacher thinks, does he have this ability!

The depressed Ding Lao was desperate, so he went to Tianxiang Academy again.

After only one night, Dong Ce saw Ding Lao again, and couldn't help frowning, so he could only simply hand over the knowledge of the wind cup to the students, and then let them go out to experiment.

After sending the students away, Dong Ce took Ding Lao to the teacher's room and asked, "Didn't you say three days?" Why is Ding Lao so anxious? ”

"No, let go of the plan, Dong Yilang's proposal last night, the old man only found out the drawbacks today, maybe Dong Yilang doesn't know, but at this time I have to say it, the state teaches it...... I can't come up with any questions! ”

Dong Ce was stunned for a moment, but he actually laughed, and after laughing, he even said a few words of "sorry" to Ding Lao, and then said: "Ding Lao, why do you have to throw this question to yourself, it is the national teacher who should be distressed!" Now that the voice of the imperial examination is rising higher and higher, even my students here talk about it every day, although it is impossible to stop it, there is no reason to stop it, thinking about the teachers of other countries, but they are just dying and struggling. ”

"You ......" Ding Lao was not annoyed that Dong Ce dared to speak out, but he really didn't understand this guy, wasn't he afraid that these words would be heard by others?

At that time, even if the Queen Mother has the heart to help you, you will not be able to escape death!

Dong Ce looked at the anxious Ding Lao, and said with a wry smile: "Why should Ding Changzhi worry about anything, the so-called eating one wisdom and growing one wisdom, the state religion will not be as unbearable as last time!" ”

Ding Lao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he understood.

Today, unlike in the past, the Taiping Dao has been unshakable in its status as the state religion, they won't, can't they find someone to meet?

In the past, others were indeed jealous, why can you become the state religion with half a bucket of water? And the orthodox Taoism is going to be subordinate? When it comes to the Taoist scriptures, we have gone to the sea more than you know, so why can't we get the support of the imperial court?

Under such thoughts, it is natural that all of them are anti-Taiping Dao and want to take advantage of the ideal of being promoted to the state religion in the place where Daning was founded, so it provoked the crazy counterattack of Taiping Dao.

Now, although other sects disdain the Taiping Dao, they are also envious, jealous and hateful, and it is indeed not difficult for them to poach people from these factions.

Knowing this, Elder Ding felt that it was time for His Majesty to have a secret talk with the national teacher!

sent Ding Lao away, and Dong Ce was entangled by the students again.

The structure of the wind cup seems simple, but it can indeed measure the wind speed, which allows the students to see a new open world.

"Sir is really a talented person, such a simple three bowls and a piece of copper, you can measure the wind speed and direction, compared with the complex phase wind copper crow, more convenient and accurate!" Xu Guangfeng said excitedly.

Dong Ce smiled, although the advantages and disadvantages of the wind cup and the Xiangfeng copper crow do not need to explain anything, but as a teaching, Dong Ce still said: "The structure of the Xiangfeng copper crow is complex, and it takes a strong wind to blow, even if it is a wooden crow, although it can also measure the wind direction, it is far from enough, and the wind cup is different, first, the wind direction can be more accurately measured, and the second is that the most important thing is to record the wind speed, of course, this thing is not perfect, and to be accurate and consistent, batch output, there are still some difficulties, this is the problem that you are not allowed to overcome at present, in addition, after overcoming this point." , then start to record the wind speed, and then such as one breath and one sound, it is a first-class wind, one breath and two sounds are two-level, and so on, and the unit of measurement should also be written. ”

"Huh?" The students were dumbfounded, they thought that this would be the end, but they didn't expect that it was just the beginning, and there were still a lot of problems waiting for them to deal with!

This is embarrassing for everyone, although they have studied with Dong Ce for a long time, but the deeper they go, the more they find that what they come into contact with is just scratching the surface, if they want to learn well and learn thoroughly, I am afraid that they may not be able to do it in their lifetime, and it is no wonder why Mr. Dong once had such remarks!

If you give up halfway, it is equal to a complete waste, but you can do it for a lifetime, who has so much perseverance? It can be seen that all the people in Yanjiao are full of great perseverance and have outstanding people who pursue truth and dreams! (To be continued.) )
