“…… Let me give you another analogy, we also lead a thousand people to farm, and your approach is to let these 1,000 people work hard to cultivate the land and plant as much land as they can; And I may have seven hundred men plant only about half of your land, and the other three hundred will deal with the things I have just mentioned, and I dare say that I will definitely receive more grain than you do, and that my men will be much easier than yours. ”

After listening to Lu Ren's explanation, Guo Yi understood a little and asked, "What does uncle mean...... Do you ignore the big picture and focus on the details? ”

Lu Ren clasped his hand, rolled his eyes twice, and said, "It's almost like that." In fact, there are so many people in the world who read books, and there are by no means a few who understand the general situation, but there are few people like your Uncle Lu who are good at details. Uncle Lu also said something ugly here, those who read and understand the general situation may be useless if they don't go out, but your Uncle Lu can still make a name for himself even if he is not an official. Because what I understand is not the big principles in these books, but how to make the country and the people truly rich...... It seems like it's pretty much the same, and I'm a bit of a fool of myself. Well, let's put it this way, if someone else teaches you the so-called truth, but what I teach you is how to do things. ”

Guo Yi couldn't understand Lu Ren's words for a while, so he just stood there stupidly.

Seeing this, Lu Ren stretched out his hand and scratched his head, thought for a while and said, "It seems that you still haven't figured it out, so let me make another analogy." A gentleman will teach you how to read, and he will show you the character and tell you why it comes from and what it means, but he may not teach you how to write it. And I will teach you how to write this character by hand, how to write it horizontally, how to write it vertically, and how to write it beautifully...... Do you understand? ”

Guo Yi thought for a long time before nodding lightly and said, "My little nephew understands a little, my uncle taught me not how to understand, but how to act." ”

Lu Ren groaned, "Almost." Now I'm serious about asking you. After knowing this, would you like to really worship my door? I have to tell you something first, if you learn from me, you may not be able to become an official in the future, and if you don't do well, you will be looked down upon. You have to think it out for yourself. ”

Guo Yi lowered his head and pondered for a long time before raising his head, and his childish face had not completely faded and said with a bit of category: "I learn!" The little nephew believes in his father's vision and Uncle Lu's personality, and he will definitely not harm me. ”

Lu Ren nodded slightly and said, "Okay." You come with me. ”

The two came to Lu Ren's study, Lu Ren took down the book written in order to facilitate sorting out from the desk, looked through it himself, and then handed it to Guo Yidao: "These are all things I wrote down in my early years, and then I handed them over to your Mrs. Cai to compile." It's a pity that I didn't bring anything out when I left Xudu back then. Later, in the past few years, your master and mother have worked hard to write down a lot. There is a circle next to this catalogue that has been rewritten, you can pick a few books out and read them first, and if you don't understand anything, just ask me directly. ”

Guo Yi was taken aback, there were more than a thousand books in Lu Ren's study. Note that it is this, not bamboo slips, there is a paper mill in Lu Ren's small town of Yizhou, and Mi Zhen's fleet will not cost much to send some paper to Lu Ren from time to time. And what is the amount of knowledge in the books in the study here?

Look at it again, Guo Yi hurriedly took the book and read it carefully. The circles in the catalogue are basically all kinds of farming, sericulture, tools, machinery, and wine-making that were relatively useful at that time...... In other words, Lu Ren's book is an encyclopedia of all kinds of industries. In addition, there is a small amount of Lu Ren's experience in industrial relations and structural distribution.

Of course, there are also a lot of purely cultural things such as poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. After all, this is Cai Yan's hobby, and a few years ago, Lu Ren was still counting on using these things to deal with the famous Confucians in Jingzhou, so Cai Yan didn't write less. Moreover, simply sorting out scientific and technological literature is actually a very cumbersome thing for Cai Yan. Lu Ren used to make a lot of trouble when he was tidying up by himself, and then he would find something he liked to do to relax. is like this, so of course Lu Ren will not stop Cai Yan under the heart of the heart.

Smart people tend to be intellectually curious, and this is the case with Guo Jia. And Guo Yi was influenced by his father, and so did himself. After reading the book record a few times, my eyes were on fire, and I couldn't help but rush into the study immediately to pick out the books I was interested in and read them.

Lu Ren stretched out his hand to stop Guo Yi, who wanted to rush into the book group, and said, "Don't worry. Books should be read carefully one by one, and the most important thing is that after reading, you should think carefully about how to make use of the things in the book. Remember, books are dead, but people are alive, books just provide you with all kinds of corresponding knowledge for reference, and how to use it is up to you. ”

Guo Yi said: "Uncle understands what my nephew means, and he wants me not to be like Zhao Kuo, who only knows how to talk on paper." ”

Lu Ren said: "Yes." In this case, you can pick three books to read first, and I will test you in a while based on the books you have chosen to read. But you have to be clear that my questions are not just verbal questions, but I will find something suitable for you to do. I call this an internship, which is what people call a trial practice. ”

Guo Yi bowed respectfully to Lu Ren and said, "The little nephew will definitely live up to his uncle's expectations!" ”

Lu Ren patted Guo Yi on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Take your time, many things can't be explained in a few words, so I want you to use them while learning." Oh yes, those books you've read before...... Well, forget it, just do what you want. ”

When he said this, Lu Ren knew very well in his heart that there must be something desirable about the things of these great thinkers in ancient times, and he had neither the ability nor the qualification to deny them completely.

Guo Yi nodded and rushed into the book group to pick and choose, not wanting to let go of any of them. Seeing this, Lu Ren said in his heart: "Let's show him the way." According to Lao Guo's meaning, most of them want Guo Yi to become a good ruler of the world, so ......"

Thinking about it, Lu Ren found two books from the book group, one is the current industrial relationship between agriculture and industry, and the other is his experience on how to effectively use manpower. After handing these two books to Guo Yi, he said: "You better read these two books first, and then read other books when you fully understand them." ”

Guo Yi took the book and flipped through a few pages, then closed the book and said: "Uncle Lu, my little nephew once heard my father mention that when you left Xu Du, you left more than 1,000 books at home for Prime Minister Cao Cheng......

Lu Ren smiled: "More than that, later I calculated with Wen Ji that there should be about two thousand volumes." It's just that I was preparing to run for my life at the time, how could I escape with two thousand rolls and thousands of pounds? ”

Guo Yi said: "Uncle Lu, as soon as you left Xu Du, the night you left Xu Du, the Shangshu Servant Mansion was on fire, and all the books in the mansion were burned, leaving only some fragments!" For this reason, Cao Gong stood stupidly in front of your house for three days, and Xun Lingjun also sighed for this. Later, the old decrees you left in Shangshu Mansion were also copied and collected by Cao Gong, and it is said that they were compiled into a book. My father once shouted pity, saying that if my little nephew could read those books, he would definitely become a good person, and I didn't expect to see it again in my uncle today......"

"What?"

Guo Yi's words made Lu Ren stunned, but he immediately understood that Cao Cao must have blocked the corresponding news on the cause, so as not to have any negative impact, which is similar to the reason that some TV news in modern society cannot be fully believed. However, under the curiosity of the moment, he will inevitably be interested, so he pretended to hold Guo Yi's shoulder and shook it: "What? All the books in my house were burned? Are you sure it's not Prime Minister Cao Cheng who secretly collected it? ”

Guo Yi was shaken dizzy, and finally picked up and said: "It's true! On the night of the fire, because my father was not at home, I sneaked out of the house to see it as soon as the day dawned, and the entire Shangshu Shooting Mansion was razed to the ground by the fire. And Cao Gong almost cried when he examined it from the middle of the mutilation, and shouted, 'The Treasure Book of Loneliness is gone'! ”

Lu Ren pretended to be distracted and let go of Guo Yi, and said in his heart: "It won't be wrong, Lao Cao is acting for others to see." ”

Guo Yi saw Lu Ren's distraction, and called carefully: "Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu?" ”

Lu Ren pretended to come back to his senses, first looked at Guo Yi, then looked at the books in the study, shook his head and sighed: "How can this be? ”

Saying that, Lu Ren said to Guo Yi: "Yi'er, listen, my uncle has something to do with you." ”

Guo Yi said: "Uncle, please speak, the little nephew should obey his fate!" ”

Lu Ren said: "Every time you read a book, copy it for me, or copy it every month, and send someone to send it to Xu Du every three months to give it to Ling Zun, and then Ling Zun will transfer it to Cao Gong for collection." ”

Guo Yi was startled, looked at the study and said, "Uncle wants to copy all these books and hand them over to Cao Gong?" According to the number here, wouldn't the little nephew have to copy it for more than ten years? ”

Lu Ren was stunned, and immediately knew that his request seemed to be a bit excessive, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's me who is confused." In this way, you can copy as many copies as you want. I'll figure it out for myself. ”

Speaking of which, Lu Ren thought that the only one among the Three Kingdoms who could face up to this knowledge and preserve it was probably Cao Cao. I will have something to ask Lao Cao for help in a while, and now this can be regarded as selling some favors to Lao Cao.

Guo Yi said: "That's the case, why doesn't Uncle Lu ask someone to copy it...... Oh, the little nephew is miscalculated! ”

He had read the book just now, and knew that many of Lu Ren's books were related to the "secrets that were not passed on" in various industries, such as steelmaking methods and wine-making methods, so where could he easily ask someone to copy them and circulate them?

Lu Ren thought about another plan in his heart, and then beckoned to Guo Yi: "That's it, ignore him for now." You can study well with me...... If you don't understand anything while you're studying, just ask me. ”

Guo Yi said: "The little nephew wrote it down." ”

The two walked out of the small courtyard of the study, Lu Ren asked Guo Yi to go back to the room to read a book first, and he went to the garden to relax. When he came to the garden, Lu Ren lay on the ground and looked at the sky in a daze, and said in his heart: "It seems that I really have the potential to be a teacher, I accepted Deng Ai before, and now I really accept an apprentice, but I don't know if I can teach it well, let Guo Yi and Deng Ai bring some books and run around with me later, what will it be?"
