Last night, I tossed the design drawings until the third watch before I went to sleep, and today I got up again in the morning, as soon as Wang Mai closed his eyes, drowsiness surged up like a tide, and he fell asleep on the desk with his arms pillowed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kong Yingda, who was outside the door, knocked three times and saw no one answer, and suddenly wondered in his heart, did he knock on the wrong door? Turning his head to look at the little official who had just arranged for Wang Mai to join the company: "Assistant Teacher Wang is indeed here?" ”

"Back to the hole sacrificial wine, it is here. He is the only assistant teacher in arithmetic now, and there will be no mistake. The little officer replied.

I knocked three more times, but there was still no movement. A few people were about to turn to leave, but they heard a faint snoring from inside the house.

Several people looked at each other and looked at Kong Yingda together.

Rao is Kong Yingda, as a generation of Confucianism, has extraordinary self-cultivation, and his nose is almost crooked at this time. Without saying a word, he pushed open the closed door with both hands and went straight in.

Wang Mai was sleeping soundly, suddenly heard the movement of opening the door, and bounced up from the table. rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then he saw the person clearly, and hurriedly exerted his strength: "Kong sacrifice wine." ”

"You ......" Kong Yingda's lungs were about to explode, and she pointed at Wang Mai with a trembling hand, unable to speak.

"Kong sacrificial wine dissipates anger, and getting angry when you are old is not good for your health." Wang Mai said with embarrassment.

"The old man's body doesn't need to be worried about Assistant Teacher Wang," Kong Yingda said through gritted teeth, "It's you, an assistant teacher in arithmetic, who are a teacher, and in broad daylight, you are actually ...... It is hateful to regard the rules of our country's sub-prison as nothing. As he spoke, he turned around and asked the old man behind him, "Mr. Lu, may I ask how to punish the dereliction of duty of our country's sub-supervisor?" ”

The old man behind him arched his hand and replied: "If the official business is delayed due to dereliction of duty, depending on the severity of the circumstances, it should be handed over to the competent company for disposal; If the circumstances are minor and do not lead to guilt, the penalty shall be six months. ”

Kong Yingda sneered when he heard this: "Then I will be fined for half a year according to the regulations, Assistant Teacher Wang has something to say." ”

"Don't don't, don't don't...... If you have something to say...... "Wang Mai hurriedly begged for mercy." This confiscated Lao Tzu's half-year salary, and now he still owes Song Laosan half a year's salary. It's just the second day of the New Year, and I, a civil servant in the Great Sui, have become a poor bachelor, no, no, no, no.

"What else is there to say about what you just did and what we have just done? This has already read that you are a first-time offender, and you will be punished lightly. "Lao Kong doesn't give face at all.

"Actually......" Wang Mai's eyes rolled, "Actually, I was thinking about what Kong Saijiu said yesterday, I haven't slept well since last night, and I thought about it all night, which led to some lack of sleep today." ”

"And what about the results of your thinking overnight? Take it for me to see. ”

"This ......," Wang Mai glanced left and right.

"Dare to quibble?" Kong Yingda had a cold face, "If you can't come up with the results of last night's thinking, you will be punished for deceiving the officials, and the crime will be increased by one degree, and you will be punished for one year!" ”

"Don't......" Wang Mai jumped to his feet, "I'm really thinking about it." His eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a book left here by an unknown brother on the table, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, "This is this book, and the results of my thinking that I studied all night yesterday are related to it." ”

"Humph!" Kong Yingda suspiciously grabbed the book with the back facing upwards and glanced at it, and threw the book in front of Wang Mai, "You didn't sleep all night last night and read the Buddhist scriptures all night?" ”

Sutra? Wang Mai looked down and saw that the three big characters "Diamond Sutra" were written on the cover of the page. Damn, this senior wants to kill me. It's not good for you to leave a book as a scholar, but you left me a famous book of Buddhism!

With a sharp turn of thought, Wang Mai suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "It's not for the sake of reciting, don't underestimate this Buddhist scripture for Confucian wine, it is it that gives you great inspiration." ”

"Could it be that the solution you came up with is for me and the others to escape into the Buddha Gate, and the four major ones will not be empty?" Lao Kong didn't know who he learned from, and he was so venomous.

"Definitely!" Wang Mai sorted out his thoughts, "Kong Saijiu is well-informed, so he must know that there are actually differences in doctrine within Buddhism?" ”

"Not bad!" Kong Yingda nodded, "But what does this have to do with my Confucianism?" ”

"It's a big deal, please allow me to take my time." Wang Mai cleared his throat, "Since the Buddha Shakyamuni founded Buddhism, it was introduced to our Central Plains in the Han Dynasty, and it has a history of thousands of years now. ”

Everyone nodded.

Seeing that everyone had entered the state, Wang Mai continued: "The thousand-year-old history of Buddhism, like our Confucianism, has caused great differences in the interpretation of the doctrine. There are many reasons for disagreement, such as differences in personal understanding, regional differences, and so on, so I won't talk about these. The point is what means by which Buddhism resolves these differences. ”

"By what means?" Kong Yingda saw that Wang Mai had some truth in what he said, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"The prosperity of Buddhism is inseparable from its teachings, and the teachings of Buddhism are also multitudes, but they do not decline due to differences, but flourish more and more. Buddhism flourished most in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, especially in the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Liang believed in Buddhism, and countless temples were built in the country. So that later generations have poems YN Dynasty 480 Temple, how many buildings in the smoke and rain. It follows that disagreement is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain." Kong Yingda tasted this poem, "Yes, the Southern Dynasty was indeed the peak of Buddhism, and it was ridiculous for Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu to become a monk several times and let the important ministers of the court raise funds to ransom him." Partial belief in Buddhism, so that the political affairs were deserted, and finally starved to death in Miyagi, which was also self-inflicted. However, there is some truth in saying that the differences in Buddhism did not lead to its demise. ”

Seeing that Kong Yingda agreed with him, Wang Mai continued: "The sects within the Buddhist family often debate each other because of doctrinal differences, but they allow such differences to exist, and they gradually evolve into a norm, and this norm is the debate. Therefore, the solution that I came up with last night is to let these two factions debate openly, not about winning or losing, but mainly to uphold a spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences, so that everyone can make progress together. ”

"Old man, what good idea did you think of this night, but you didn't think about it, but you have nothing to say, these two factions have been arguing for nearly three months, and now they are still arguing, why do you need to say it again?" Kong Yingda flicked down his sleeves.

"Kong sacrificial wine, I haven't finished talking yet?" Wang Mai hurriedly said, "I said that this kind of argument is not the same as their previous one. ”

"What's the difference?"

"They quarreled for three months, and although there was no more sophistry, it was still a kind of dialectic without rules and disorder. These people talk about what they say, there is no theme, no argument, no discipline, and naturally there is no result. What I mean by this is to have a rule of debate and to make a central point so that both sides can rely on it and not go off topic. ”

"What do you mean? Clarify? Kong Yingda said with a frown.

"Everything has a cause and effect. For example, if we raise a question as the core, each faction sends a considerable number of people to debate around that core. Each side first presents its own views on the issue, sets a time for speaking, and then the other side asks questions, and the respondent must answer them head-on. If you can't answer or say nothing, you can decide the loser, and the two sides will speak in turn, and finally an impartial third party will decide the winner of both sides. In this way, the argument will have a direction, and it will not run around like a headless fly. Wang Mai replied while recalling the rules of the debate competition in later generations.

"Good proposal!" It was not Kong Yingda who spoke, but Mr. Lu, who looked to be in his sixties behind him.

Wang Mai arched his hand to the man: "Didn't you ask Mr. for his name?" ”

"Lu Deming, assistant teacher in Xia Guozi."

"Rude faux pas! Wang Jikai, an assistant professor in the next arithmetic school. Wang Mai gave another salute. Not just because the other party is older, but because the teaching assistant of Taixue is one level higher than the teaching assistant of arithmetic. In order to win people's hearts, Wang Shichong put everyone's titles into a position, which is different from the level. For example, he is an assistant teacher in arithmetic from the sixth grade, and he is actually given according to the treatment of the assistant teacher of Guozi; And the other party is the assistant teacher of Guozi, who is a senior official according to the treatment of Dr. Guozi.

After greeting Lu Deming, Wang Mai shifted his attention to Kong Yingda again.

Kong Yingda thought for a while, and said to Wang Mai: "Wait for me to ask everyone's opinions." However, since this suggestion was made by you, then come up with a complete set of plans and limit you to complete it before the end of the rest, is it difficult? ”

"And my punishment?" Wang Mai asked tentatively.

"Excuse me." Kong Yingda waved his hand, "But if you can't come up with a plan that satisfies everyone when you are over...... Old Kong Pi looked at Wang Mai with a smile.

"I know, a year's punishment." Wang Mai said helplessly.

Lao Kong received his affirmative answer and left satisfied, leaving only Wang Mai with a sad face in the same place.

Finally got on a bad day, Wang Mai stretched his waist and walked out of the house, but he saw Lao Xu Xu Wenyuan standing with Lu Deming, the assistant coach of Guozi who was with Kong Yingda during the day.

Xu Wenyuan was old but didn't dazzle, and when he saw Wang Mai, he waved his hand at him.

Wang Mai reluctantly walked over and saluted the two.

"Listen to what Confucius said, you want to formulate a set of rules for debate?" Lao Xu touched his gray beard and looked at him.

"Lao Xu, you were right yesterday, since the disagreement arose because of me, it is natural for me to deal with the aftermath." Wang Mai said with a wry smile.

Lu Deming looked at him very strangely from the side, this person spoke to Xu Wenyuan so rudely.

Xu Wenyuan turned his head to Lu Deming and said, "Deming, you don't know, the old man has already become a friend with this king of wheat, so he doesn't care much about the ordinary etiquette. ”

"I see!" Lu Deming is also in his sixties, broad-minded, and does not take these red tapes very seriously. He was curious about this Wang Mai, and he didn't know what this young man could do to provoke a dispute between the two factions of Confucianism.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, the differences within Confucianism have existed for a long time, but they have been hidden. Otherwise, how can you, a yellow-haired boy, cause such a huge controversy? Lao Xu patted Wang Mai's shoulder, with an expression of leaning on the old and selling the old.

Wang Maixin said Who wants to be friends with you, you old man is like a dog skin plaster, okay? "There are still some important things to do, so I won't accompany the two of you." Hurry up and say goodbye.

ran all the way to Song Laosan's house, and happened to meet Song Laosan in military uniform.

"What is this?" Song Laosan looked at the design in his hand and asked puzzled.

"Fractionator." Wang Mai said, "You took it the other way around. ”

"Oh." Song Laosan hurriedly turned over and looked, "What is the purpose of this thing?" ”

"It's a thing that is used to separate alcohol and water."

"Fractionation? Alcohol? Lao Song looked dazed.

"Well, to put it simply, you can make stronger liquor out of this stuff."
