Huainan is richer than Hengshan Kingdom, but the banquet of King Huainan cannot be compared with that of King Hengshan. Not only is there less meat and more vegetables, but there is no singing and dancing. A large group of old men sat in the house and talked loudly, Su Renting's head hurt, but he was embarrassed to leave, so he could only endure this torture with difficulty. Liu An invited a lot of people to accompany him, in addition to the officials of Huainan Kingdom, there were also many of his disciples. It is said that they are all university scholars in Huainan Province, and the research directions are also varied, even those miscellaneous studies are also involved.

I was really bored, so Su Ren excused himself by changing his clothes and going out to breathe. Under the leadership of the servants, coming out of the thatched house, Su Ren stood under the porch and enjoyed the scenery in the palace. The palace of the King of Huainan is very shabby, there is no bird song and flower fragrance, more of a strong smell of ink. After a circle, you can see many slaves holding bamboo slips hurrying.

Pointing to a row of houses opposite, Su Ren asked the servants: "Over there is the place where the king compiled Honglie?" ”

The servant didn't speak, but someone spoke on his behalf: "Yes, where is the place where my father compiled Honglie, my father recruited thousands of scholars, it took more than ten years, and the compilation will be completed in a few months, if Mr. Su likes it, he can send someone to copy a copy." ”

Su Ren didn't look back, he just knew who was coming, and shook his head: "Copying books is a stupid person's practice, I have a way, I only need to make thousands of volumes at one time, saving time and effort, even if you can't read, you can complete it." ”

"Oh? Mr. Su has such a good method, why hasn't he heard of it? ”

Su Ren turned his head and glanced at Liu Hong: "We are not familiar enough to tell you everything, if the fifth prince is willing to invest, I will let you see it at that time." ”

"Hehehe." Liu Hong smiled: "Mr. Su loves money and knows everything in the world, so there is no need to emphasize it here, not to mention that Mr. has already taken a thousand gold from me, isn't this money enough?" ”

"How can there be a thousand gold, but it is less than nine hundred gold."

"You admit it?"

"What do I admit?"

"Huh!" Liu Hong sat next to Su Ren: "I don't want to talk about this matter, but I want to thank Mr. Su for keeping his promise and not embarrassing those businessmen, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to my father, those people are the main source of commercial taxes in our Huainan Kingdom, although there are not many, but it is not good." ”

"What are those merchants, if the fifth prince has this meaning, I can divide some merchants from Jiangsu City to Shouchun, and then it will be more than the business tax you collect now." Su Ren looked at Liu Hong, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Is the fifth son interested in this business?" Not much, as long as the investment of 300 gold is enough, it is not a secret, the eldest prince has already sent 300 gold at noon today, which is considered to be a share. ”

"Liu is not harmful?" Liu Hong was taken aback: "Mr. Su and Liu Buxian cooperated?" ”

Su Ren said with a smile: "I am a businessman, and those who open the door to do business will naturally not refuse, since the eldest prince is willing to give all his support, it is too late for me to thank him, how can there be any reason not to cooperate?" The fifth prince is really not interested? ”

Liu Hong lost interest in chatting, stood up and hugged his fists at Su Ren, turned around and walked back. Looking at Liu Hong's back, Su Ren said to the servants who stood beside him, "Do you have any spare money, do you want to join a share?" ”

The servant's face turned green, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he trembled and didn't know how to answer.

Su Ren smiled: "Look at your little talent, no wonder you can only be a servant for the rest of your life!" ”

The banquet in the lobby continued, and I don't know what kind of topic there was, and a group of people were arguing fiercely. Su Ren silently sat down in his seat, yawned loudly, and looked left and right for a place to lean on. There was a pillar behind him, and Su Ren moved his cushion back, leaning comfortably on the pillar, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Mr. Su? Mr. Sue? Someone called a few times, and Su Ren sat up.

"Mr. Su, do you think Huang Lao's inaction is the right way or Confucianism?" An old man with a gray beard looked at Su Ren and asked with a red face, presumably because he had lost the upper hand in the argument with others just now, hoping that Su Ren could pull him along.

Liu An said with a smile: "Mr. Su's answer to this question is right, I heard that when Mr. Su was in Shu County, he debated with the great Confucian Dong Zhongshu about the three strategies of heaven and man, and also said that some of Dong Zhongshu's views are wrong, and he can see through the fallacies of Dong Thief at a glance, and Mr. Su is the first person." ”

Su Ren gave Liu An a salute and said: "The king is merciful, not to mention who won and who lost in the dispute between Mr. Dong and the kid back then, now Mr. Dong is under his father-in-law, and the king said so, it is not easy to answer the question." ”

"Ugh! Hahaha, the gaffe, this king forgot! Mr. Su, forgive me. ”

Liu An, the king of Huainan, is a man who sells his reputation and reputation. A long table of talents, he seems to be an out-and-out gentleman, but what he does behind his back is despised. When he saw Liu An for the first time, Su Ren suddenly remembered someone. In Jin Yong's novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the head of the Huashan faction is known as Yue Buqun, who is a gentleman's sword, and is somewhat similar to Liu An.

However, Liu An is really talented and learned, he is very proficient in poetry and songs, etiquette and music, and he is also a good hand at talking about it, otherwise there would not be so many learned people gathered around him, pouting his ass and making up "Huainanzi" for him.

Su Ren said: "If you want to talk about learning, I think that there is no distinction between good and bad, just look at the needs, farmers yearn for agriculture, and wise people advocate science, whether it is Huang Lao's doctrine or Confucianism, just look at whether it is useful to us." ”

After Su Ren's words were finished, a few people nodded in agreement, but more people scoffed. Liu Qian snorted even more coldly: "In this way, Mr. Su thinks that Gaozu is wrong to rule the country with Huang Lao?" ”

"I didn't say that!" Su Ren hurriedly retorted, if this crime is pressed, if it is not done well, he will go to prison: "The tyrannical Qin is brutal, and the world is frightened by the strict punishment and the law, so Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up with 800 people, and the world responded; Gaozu founded the country to Huang Lao inaction and rule, to give the people recuperation, and then get the support of the people, the Han Dynasty is forever, but for a hundred years the world is peaceful and the people are rich, some people who do not respect the law and act arbitrarily have appeared, if there is still no action and rule it seems to be a little inappropriate. ”

"Governing the country is not a study, you need to judge the situation, when to use what reason, if you blindly cling to the old ways, when it comes to the day when you need to change, I am afraid it will not be a little bit of damage, and take Qin as an example, Qin unification of the six countries of the Legalists did make a great contribution, but after the unification, strict punishment and strict laws are still implemented, and this is why the world will destroy Qin."

Of course, Confucianism is not perfect, and it may be replaced by a better concept of governing the country at some point, but for now, Huang Lao, who ruled by inaction, seems to be a little outdated! Huang Lao stresses inaction and adapts to the situation, Confucianism stresses benevolence, and Legalism stresses law-abiding for the people, and there is no conflict between them from the point of view. ”

"The king's "Honglie" is not only Huang Lao, including Confucianism, Legalism, soldiers, Yin and Yang Five Elements and other knowledge, if you think that Huang Lao's words can solve all the difficulties in the world, why bother, just use a copy of the Tao Te Ching."

Su Ren took a sip of water and said so much in one breath, his throat and eyes were a little bitter. The hall was quiet, the fierce argument just now disappeared, and many people began to bow their heads and ponder, Su Ren's words were not a deafening good words, but there was some truth.

The gray-bearded old man saluted Su Ren: "In Mr. Su's opinion, which doctrine should be respected today?" ”

Su Ren put down the water bowl: "Old gentleman, do you think that the viscera in your body is the most important?" ”

The old man frowned: "What does Mr. mean by this?" ”

Su Ren smiled: "Don't be angry, your question is the same as my question just now, there are many things in the world, no matter what is the most important thing, just like our viscera, it can't be done without anything, so there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, if you have to divide the superior, it depends on the preferences of the superior!" To make another analogy, the world is like a body, the superior is like a medical officer, a good king governs the country like a good doctor to see the disease, and the disease is ever-changing; Since ancient times, those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a moment, and those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. ”

"A good sentence is that a good king governs the country like a good doctor and sees a disease!" Liu An picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "Mr. Su is talented, this king admires it so much, I only hate to see each other very late, if I knew Mr. Su and this king should personally invite you!" ”

Su Ren smiled: "The king is polite, speaking of which, although it is the first time that I have met the king, I have met the fifth prince a few years ago. Su Ren turned his head and glanced at Liu Hong, with a gloating expression.

Liu An laughed: "Yes! When Hong'er traveled to Shu County, thanks to Mr. Su's help, he was able to return to China safely, and the king should be grateful for this matter! ”

"The king is polite, it's just a gesture!" Su Ren and Liu An had a drink and did not expose the matter.

The room full of university questioners were all blinded by Su Ren's words. It can't be said that their knowledge is not proficient, but they lack Su Ren's knowledge. Su Ren did not quote scriptures in his words, and the improved version of the last sentence "White Soldiers" was learned by Su Ren from TV. But Su Ren knows the changes of history and knows the general trend of history, so that he can say that the head is the Tao.

A banquet lasted until late at night, during which someone asked Su Ren a few questions, and Su Ren gave answers that exceeded their expectations, and those who listened were stunned. It wasn't until the moonlit treetops that the feast was over. Su Ren said goodbye with a smoky smell, Liu An personally sent him out of the door, and even helped Su Ren into the carriage, still stopping and looking into the distance.

Zuo Wu took a deep breath: "This son is young and far more knowledgeable than the great sage, if this person can't be used by the king, he can be killed, so as not to have endless troubles in the future." ”

Liu An didn't answer, standing there a little distracted: "I only thought he was a businessman, but I didn't think this person would have such an opinion, Liu Che is really a good life, tomorrow you go to find out his tone, what did Liu Ci send him to Shouchun for?" ”

"Whoa!"

Liu An turned around and walked back, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zuo Wu: "Lei has already told this king about the matter, and there will be a next time, and he will not be spared!" Liu An's eyes were ruthless, and Zuo Wu was covered in cold sweat.
