On the second day of his visit to Lu Hou, Zhao Wuxian set off and began to return to Xiaqiu.

Compared with when he came, there are fewer Zifu He in the team, less Feng Rin, and fewer clever soldiers on weekdays.

Because of Zhao Wuxian's various performances, Zifu He was already convinced that he was biased towards Sanhuan, so it could be said that Yang Hu was afraid of Jin Qing's interference and did not dare to act rashly, and he could also have one more partial division in the west, and he would serve as a messenger for Zhao Wuxian to communicate with Sanhuan, especially Meng's in the future.

And Feng Rin lurked in a mansion secretly given by Yang Hu in Lucheng, as a messenger for Zhao Wuxian and Yang Hu.

As for the other soldiers, they were arranged by Zhao Wuxian to buy a house to live in near Lilu, where Xiao Xiang Lu and Gong Yiban's family lived, and were responsible for covert protection.

At first, Zhao Wuxian also had some concerns: "Everyone has their own special life trajectory, and if they put these two boys in their pockets in a hurry, will they change their interests, hobbies, and expertise?" ”

But there may be turmoil in Qufu at the turn of October, and if there is any damage to these two people, Zhao Wuxian will regret it, anyway, his change in history will sooner or later turn from a trickle to a mighty river, so he simply no longer looks ahead.

"Sanhuan promised to send two hundred craftsmen to Liaoqiu in a few days, I might as well propose to let the whole clan of the Gongyi clan also serve me, and bring the Gongyi class by the way, as for Xiang Lu, even if it is a gift from this trip to Qufu, I still have to think of another idea."

There are less and more, and the extra is naturally Confucius and his disciples.

Zai Yu, who had been scolded by Confucius as "rotten wood cannot be carved", took a few soldiers from the central capital to escort several carts of grain that were scraped together in the east of Lucheng, and mixed with the shirtless wagon team.

Zhao Wuxian invited Confucius to go with him with his own plans, and the two of them had a good conversation yesterday at Liuxiaji's mansion, and they did not get tired of each other. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, and I didn't talk about the political affairs of Lu Guo and the backs of Yanghu and Sanhuan.

But that's fine, you can talk about academics without talking about state affairs. Looking at Confucius and Yan Hui, the two wise men of the Spring and Autumn Period, they looked at each other after listening to the saying of "learning from things", and their eyes showed convincing and curiosity. Wuxian suddenly felt that this idle chess that wanted to "imperceptibly" early Confucianism might really play a role.

Sitting in the four-wheeled carriage, Zhao Wuxian pondered, "No matter what. It would also be a blessing for future generations if the concept of 'learning from things' that had not yet been proposed could be replaced, so that the Confucian ancestors had a little interest in the natural things around them from the very beginning. ”

Reshaping the Chinese civilization in his youth and adding fresh blood from thousands of years of wisdom in later generations is not a task that Zhao Wuxian can accomplish alone. He needs to take advantage of the momentum, and he needs help.

Whether Zhao Wuxian wants it or not, he has to admit that compared with the decadent aristocracy and uncivilized commoners of this era, Confucius and his disciples are indeed the most knowledgeable and educated people in the emerging scholar class......

The public clan fell, the scholars rose, and the hundred schools of thought did not prosper, but Confucianism took the lead, and the talents he cultivated grew up without compassion for them, and the sons who were boosted by his seedlings rose. You can only cultivate the atmosphere of learning from things among the mixed disciples of Confucius. Anyway, there are many people in it, such as Yan Hui and Zeng Dian, since they are not engaged in political affairs, they are idle all day long, rather than getting into the dead end of etiquette and morality, it is better to do something meaningful......

As for those who are engaged in politics and know military affairs, Zhao Wuxian wants to take the method of direct excavation, but before that, he has to inquire about Confucius's attitude.

……

While the convoy was resting in the huts along the way, Confucius and Yan Hui also had a conversation.

Confucius took Yan Hui and took a sip of the jug handed over by Yan Hui in both hands. After wiping the water droplets on the tendrils, he said earnestly: "Hui, you looked at the bamboo outside the window last night, and today you looked up at the clouds when the car was moving, and when you parked, you watched the insects, fish, birds and beasts. What's going on? ”

Yan Hui bowed his head and paused: "Hui is not ashamed of being poor, but he is ashamed of ignorance, although as Dr. Zhao said, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, but Hui encounters something that he does not know." You'll want to understand it thoroughly. Yesterday, I was stumped by the little boy's question, and I was inspired by Dr. Zhao's theory of 'learning from things', so I couldn't help but want to Gezhu, Geyun, and Ge birds and beasts, and I lost my temper for a while, which made the master worried. ”

Confucius said with a smile: "Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy. What's the catch? ”

Yan Hui shook his head regretfully: "Nothing, Gewu Zhizhi is really very human, you must have a foundation for study like Doctor Zhao, and you must have an inspired explosion, which is also the reason why he can discover the theory that fine Gu causes disease." ”

The reputation of the doctor Bian Que is also very loud in the Lu State, and his deeds of staying in the Jin State to study the disease because of Zhao Wuxian's "fine Gu cause disease theory" have been transmitted to Qilu through the mouth of Zigong and others or Jian Mu, which is also one of the evidences that Zhao Wuxian is proficient in the way of "learning from things".

Confucius, who taught people tirelessly, said: "I don't eat all day long, I don't sleep all night, thinking about it, it's useless, it's better to learn it." Instead of being in a daze, you should take the opportunity to consult Dr. Zhao, at least understand the long-awaited Zhou Ji number first, and if you have the opportunity, you can worship him as a teacher. ”

Yan Hui paused again: "Hui only has the master and son, how can he learn from others again?" ”

Confucius shook his head and said: "False, when I was young, I was humble, I once entered the Taimiao, asked everything, and learned basic etiquette from the master of ceremonies of the Lu State. When he was older, he studied with Tanzi, Chang Hong, Shixiang, and Lao Dan. ”

"Yijun Tanzi taught me the historical allusions of Yili and Shaohao's country; Chang Hong taught me astronomy and geography, deducing the astrological calendar and "Yi"; Qi Taishi taught me to play the piano and music, and I didn't know the taste of meat in March; Lao Dan told me the way of life and the world, so people often say that I am an impermanent teacher. Today I met Dr. Zitai, although he is still young, but he is terrible in the future, he is enough to be my teacher in the way of things, and it is enough to teach you, don't have any worries because of your age and birth. ”

Regarding Zhao Wuxian's "knowledge of things", although his ancestors described Suiren, Fuxi, and Shennong, and Confucius's admiration for Yao Shunyu, King Wen, and Zhou Gong are not the same, but the same ancient and tireless Confucius did not reject this idea, but he did not fully accept it. He still thinks that respect and etiquette are the most important things in life, and as for learning things, it should be regarded as a hobby such as learning piano and sword.

Confucius simply recruited three students and publicly declared to them: "Although I do not fully agree with some of Dr. Zhao's ideas. But the gentleman is harmonious and different, and his speech and demeanor are extremely high-spirited, which has won my heart. Zi Youyou wrote that Dr. Zhao called himself a madman in Zhongdu, and he was the one who was willing to associate with the teacher. It's a pity, I'm old, I can't travel with him at the age of thirty, I just want to be able to be a friend of the year, and you must learn more from him. ”

Yan Hui thoughtfully. Zilu nodded heavily, looking handsome, and Zai Yu, who was in a long crown and deep clothes, had burning eyes.

He said: "Master, I see that Dr. Zhao has two provinces, and the soldiers are heroic and strong, and they have great ambitions to operate and grow, but I also know a little about the situation of these two towns, which are quite broken after the war, and they are in urgent need of talents. Zigong is now working under him, and he must not have preached the master's learning. Since he invited the master to accompany him, he probably also wanted to recruit some disciples from the sect, and this was our chance! ”

Zai Yu is eloquent and eloquent, he is a disciple of Confucius, second only to Zigong in terms of "speech", so this time he went to Lucheng to ask Fei Zai Gongshan Buwu and others for corn in order to have a harvest.

However, Zaiyu's shortcomings are as obvious as his advantages, and he is very dismissive of many aspects of Confucius's learning, such as the three-year filial piety and benevolent government, and he does not respect Confucius very much. During the day, he would sleep heavily in class, and he would often ask some strange questions to embarrass the teacher, so Confucius often criticized him.

Sure enough, Zaiyu's eager utilitarian heart made Confucius slightly unhappy. He criticized Zai Yu and said: "Rush for success and good profit!" ”

However, Zai Yu was right, as soon as the words ended, Zhao Wuxian came over with his entourage to salute Confucius, offering cool water and greetings.

……

Speaking and communicating is a skill, and it is not good to dig the foot of the wall as soon as you come, so Zhao Wuxian first asked modestly about "the matter of the beans". praised Confucius on the issue of etiquette, and asked how a dilapidated domain should be governed.

Confucius said: "Rich, rich, teach." ”

First increase the population, then make the people rich, and then make the people rich, and then make people understand etiquette and honor and disgrace through education.

Originally, before governing the capital, Confucius's thought was that etiquette was the first, and food and clothing were secondary, but after actually mastering the government of Yiyi, his thinking began to change to a certain extent, and it became this more practical "trilogy".

Although they didn't officially meet until yesterday, Zigong was a bit of an intermediary between Zhao Wuxian and Confucius, not only preaching Confucius's views to Zhao Wuxian, but also informing Confucius of some of Chengxiang's measures on the slip, so the two already knew a little about some of each other's measures.

Among them, Zhao Wuxian's decree to encourage the increase of population in Chengxiang was praised by Confucius, which coincided with the "Shuzhi" of his governance trilogy. However, when trying to follow suit, it was embarrassing to find that it was not easy for Zhongduyi to feed the current people, and every year because of the money to encourage the population and support the orphans and children, the silk corn could not be maintained, and when the war broke out and the influx of displaced people took a sharp turn for the worse, so they had to give up.

As for the rich man in the back, Confucius didn't have a clue, who let Zigong, who was good at management, not be around, and Fan Chi, who was interested in agricultural technology, was also regarded as a villain by Confucius.

His perspective is still stuck in the realm of the ritual system that determines everything, and he does not pay much attention to technical improvements.

Therefore, although the truth is very good, but in practice, the Confucian people only have some experience in the last item of "teaching", who let them start with education.

Therefore, after Confucius finished speaking, he was also ashamed to say: "Zhongdu Qiu has been governed for more than a year, but he still can't be rich, and there is only a slight improvement in education, which is really ashamed." ”

Zhao Wuxian said that his side was even worse, how can he ask for someone if he is not miserable?

"Compared with Gaoyu, Yuncheng, and even the townships around Qufu in Lucheng, Confucius has done well enough in China, and the people have returned to the flowing water, and the four fields are the same. On the contrary, Zhen and Liqiu, who had just taken office, had just recovered from the war, and now a group of Lu people and displaced people have poured in, and they really don't know how to govern it. I don't even have officials under my command who can speak the dialect of Lu Guoxi, and Confucius has hundreds of disciples, and I hope that I can ask a few of them to help me, and I will definitely arrange them to suitable positions. ”

After Zhao Wuxian finished speaking, he sincerely bowed to Confucius.

Confucius didn't answer at first, his thick tendrils couldn't be seen, and after a moment he asked, "Who does the doctor want to hire?" ”

Zhao Wuxian's eyes were blazing: "Zi You, can you make it a politician?" (To be continued.) )
