Chapter 060: On the Farm (100 Monthly Passes)
――
Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh, both the East and the West have legends of floods, such as Noah's Ark in the Western world, and Dayu in the East to control the water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two civilizations of the East and the West have produced very different results from the same flood legend.
Some thoughts in his mind were quickly put away, this trip was to visit and seek talents, not to sigh, and asked Chen Xiang as soon as his heart moved: "Wei Li is not observing, and he has doubts." ”
"Sir, please."
"Why did you abandon Confucianism and learn agriculture?" Wei Zheng asked curiously.
Chen Xiang smiled and replied: "Teng Guojun is a virtuous monarch in the world, the Duke of Wen is benevolent, and he is also a saint, and we are willing to be the people under the rule of a saint." The teacher once taught that the wise man should work with the people to eat and eat, and to eat. The kings of the world are all the people and suffer from the people and support themselves, how can they say that they are virtuous? ”
Wei Zheng was surprised when he saw Chen Xiang's admiration, the highest state of Xu Xing's thoughts and ambitions is that the monarch and the people work together, hoping that everything in the world will be equal, and Confucianism, which has always been about etiquette and humility, must not be tolerated, but he didn't expect that Chen Xiang, who was originally a Confucian faction, would respect Xu Zi's doctrine so much.
Although the sons of the pre-Qin dynasty have the name of saints, in Wei Zheng's view, except for the Legalist faction that pays attention to seeking truth from facts and advancing with the times, the rest are basically people with severe paranoia.
Facts have also proved that only the down-to-earth and realistic Legalist ideology has completed the great task of dominating the world.
Looking at Chen Xiang's admiration, this is to tell Wei Zheng a message, it really takes some energy to invite this great god.
As soon as his heart moved, he wanted to have a debate between the Legalist and the farmer, Wei Zheng arched his hand: "Your Excellency's words, I dare not agree with you." ”
"Why?" Chen Xiang asked subconsciously, and after a while, he suddenly realized in his heart, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, seeing that he Wei Zheng's posture was to have a debate with himself here, Wei Li's name was famous all over the world, and even the Confucian Yasheng Mengzi, who was known as eloquent, was not his opponent.
Chen Xiangxin was a little empty, but the other party had already made a move, and he couldn't do it if he didn't accept it, and he thought for a while that it would be good if the teacher was here, how could I be the opponent of Legalist Lizi.
Wei Zheng asked, "Dare to ask Xu Zi that he has to cultivate himself before eating?" ”
Answer: "Yes, yes! ”
Asked: "Xu Zi has to weave his own cloth and clothes?" ”
Answer: "No, the teacher is wearing an unwoven linen shirt. ”
Asked: "Does Xu Zi wear a crown?" ”
Answer: "Yes! ”
Asked: "He Guanli?" ”
Answer: "The teacher wears a silk crown. ”
Q: "Is the crown self-weaving?" ”
Answer: "Food is easy!" ”
Asked, "Why not weave yourself?" ”
Answer: "If you weave yourself, you will mistake farming." ”
Asked: "Xu Zi uses a plow to cultivate?" ”
Answer: "Yes! ”
Asked: "But self-made?" ”
Answer: "No, it is easy to use farming tools. ”
Wei Zheng and Chen Xiang sat opposite each other, after asking and answering repeatedly, Chen Xiang felt that there was nothing wrong, but he felt that he was trapped, and he didn't know what was wrong for a while, but he always felt that he had entered Wei Zheng's pit.
Wei Zheng asked rhetorically again: "Xu Zi's exchange of grain for farming tools does not harm the craftsmen; The craftsmen also exchanged their farm tools for food, could it be that the craftsmen harmed Xu Zi? ”
"This ......"
Wei Zheng asked rhetorically: "In this case, why doesn't Xu Zi smelt it himself?" Why not make your own of what you need? Why do you need to exchange what you need? Why is Xu Zi not worried? ”
Chen Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "It is impossible to juxtapose all aspects of a hundred work, even a saint has limited energy." ”
As soon as the words came out, Chen Xiang was stunned and shouted in his heart, and sure enough, Wei Zheng immediately said: "In this way, dare to ask whether the monarch of a country can govern the country and cultivate it side by side?" As the saying goes, in his position and seek his own government, let his position and fulfill his responsibilities. There are things for adults and things for small people, and the things that a person needs may be thousands or hundreds, and each is different. If you must make your own and then use it, there will inevitably be nothing to use, and the monarch will inevitably achieve nothing if he governs the country and cultivates it together, and the world will not be in chaos? ”
Chen Xiang was speechless, and Wei Zheng said again: "Xu Zi's theory of 'the city is not two' is also a big fallacy. The price of goods is different, because the quality of things is different, or ten times worse, or one hundred and ten times, or even thousands of times, if the comparison is the same, it is for the chaos of the world. If the rough and fine are at the same price, who is willing to carve them carefully? How can Xu Zi's theory be governed by a country? ”
To govern the country, you still have to use a lawyer.
Wei Zheng wanted to use Xu Xing, a great farmer sage, for my use this time, not expecting him to govern the country, but wanting to give full play to the advantages of the peasant school.
He took his disciples to a county in Jiangdong to control water, open canals, remove miasma in mountains and forests, and turn a wild land into a granary of the world.
Jiangdong County must be governed immediately.
This is the real old business of Xu Xing, a sage.
As a highly prestigious sage of the peasant school, it was much easier to have him ascend to the heights and lead a group of professionals to guide the local people to open up wasteland and cultivate fertile land.
Xu Xing is talented, but his talent can be used where it should be used, Li Bing can repair Dujiangyan, build a country of abundance, and benefit the people at dawn. However, it is absolutely impossible to set a long-term policy for a country, which is a mistake for the country.
"Under the fame, there is really no false man, and he is worthy of being a famous man who makes Meng Fuzi angry, and it is very eye-opening to hear the eloquence of his feet today."
At this moment, a slightly vigorous voice came slowly, Chen Xiang raised his eyes and immediately got up, and said embarrassedly: "Teacher-!" ”
"If you lose to Li Zi in the argument of your tongue, you will not be wronged or embarrassed if you lose. The people of the world can talk to the famous Wei Li without being a master of the vertical and horizontal faction and the famous faction. Xu Xing said with a smile.
Wei Zheng also hurriedly got up from the mat, bowed and saluted: "Fajia Wei Li, I've seen Xu Zi!" ”
It turned out that Xu Xing had returned at some point, but he didn't come in, but was listening outside, Wei Zheng raised his eyes and saw Xu Xing's face for the first time, only to find that Xu Zi was also young, I am afraid that he is similar to Meng Ke Meng Fuzi's age.
"The sages of the hundred families have seen countless sages, and the sages of the peasant family Xu Zi are so simple, Wei Li is embarrassed." Wei Zheng said in amazement and sincerity, who would have thought that the great sage of the peasant school was dressed in rough linen clothes, and he was like the common people, Wei Zheng didn't need to be ashamed of it, but such a sage's demeanor is indeed worthy of respect.
The sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty, a hundred schools of thought contended, no matter what sect or faction was seeking a salvation for today's chaotic world, where should this world go, and if the sons of the hundred schools of thought did not discuss it, no one would discuss it.
Both sat down again, Xu Xing said with a smile: "The old man has already understood, so I am enough to live in the countryside and benefit the people with my own modest efforts." ”
Wei Zheng said with a smile: "Humanity is unpredictable, Mr. cares about the people of Li and controls water and teaches agriculture, but it is really fighting with heaven and earth, how can the world be enough." Mr. is worthy of man and is not afraid of the sky; The mountains look up, and the scenery stops; Although I can't reach it, my heart yearns for it. ”
Hearing this, Xu Xing was stunned and raised his head and laughed: "Your Excellency's opinion, the old man must not dare to be, how can Xu Xing be virtuous?" ”
"Or what do you want to do here?"
When Wei Zheng heard this, he stretched out his hand to Meng Ben beside him, and the latter immediately took out a thick brocade silk book from his arms and handed it over, Wei Zheng immediately put it on the case, and said with a smile: "Old gentleman, look at what this is." ”
Xu Xing and his disciple Chen Xiang were slightly puzzled, and when they took a look, Xu Xing's eyes suddenly opened, looking incredible, and then looked at Wei Zheng and said in surprise: "This ......"
Wei Zheng smiled lightly: "I got the twenty articles of the sage Shennong's masterpiece "Shennong" by chance, and after thinking about it, I gave it to the sage of the peasant school, or I could let the sage's learning be carried forward. ”
"How can the inheritance of saints be useless?" Xu Xing was pleasantly surprised to read, "Eight Grains Growth", "Water Control", "Canal", "Asking for Rain", "Occupation", "Several", "Miasma", "Miscellaneous", ......
Wei Zheng was silent, quietly looking at the other party's concentration and concentrating as if he had obtained a treasure.
Shennong's legendary ancient sage, not to mention whether it exists, it is difficult to say whether the book "Shennong" has or not, it has long become a legend, people only know that the sage's book has been lost for thousands of years, and Wei Zheng this time in order to ask Xu Xing to go out of the mountain, he can only move out of the name of the ancient sage.
However, to be able to write this book, there must still be some knowledge.
At this moment, Xu Xing's focused appearance made Wei Zheng sigh with emotion: I can't keep my true feelings since ancient times, but my routine has won people's hearts.
