Yun Shu looked at the little kid opposite, like looking at two demons who were about to be born in a cold sweat, Yang Wei looked at Yun Shu strangely, the first time he saw what Yun Shu was afraid of, it was actually two children who had not dried up?

Facing the innocent child, Yun Shu grinned stiffly and said to Cheng Jue: "Lord Cheng's Qilin'er is really ......" Yun Shu really couldn't find the words to praise, these two little devils were looking at him curiously in front of Yun Shu, and Yun Shu subconsciously sat up straight.

Cheng Jue looked at Yun Shu with puzzlement, why was he so restrained in front of children? And Yun Shu has always restrained his urge to abduct and sell children. As a historian, he knows too well the devastating blow that Ercheng had to Chinese culture.

It is inappropriate to include "preserving the principles of heaven and destroying people's desires" and "starving to death is a small matter, but losing temperance is a big matter" into the dogma, not to mention that Song Confucianism's interpretation of the Confucian classics taken out of context has this huge problem, which is full of errors, omissions, inconsistencies, and cannot be justified.

Later generations of research on Zhu Cheng's science found that the teachings in it seriously constrained the people's spirit of innovation and exploration, and the main reason why it was supported by the rulers was that it helped to consolidate the imperial power.

Yun Shu asked Cheng Jue on a whim: "Lord Cheng, if someone says that everyone wants to destroy people's desires with heavenly principles is the highest criterion for being a human being, and everyone should act according to this criterion, I don't know what adults think?" ”

Cheng Jue frowned and said, "Saving Heavenly Reason to Destroy People's Desires? What is the point of that man's life? Everybody doesn't do anything, just sit at home and pray! Don't the people work to feed themselves? Don't officials take care of political affairs? Shouldn't the official family continue the national ritual? Ridiculous! ”

Hearing Cheng Jue's answer, Yun Shu expounded and said, "The family teacher said the same, what does Master Cheng think?" ”

Cheng Jue has a thorough grasp of the content of the Confucian classics, and he can tell the source of Gewu Zhizhi when he opens his mouth: "Gewu Zhizhi? Originated from the "Book of Rites - University", Gewu, Zhizhi, Sincerity, Righteousness, Self-cultivation, Family, Governance, and Peace--Talking about "Those who want to be sincere in their intentions, first know it; Enlightenment is in Gewu. The character of the object is then known, and the meaning is then sincere".

Since it is very important to put the knowledge of things together with sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace, but there are not many explanations for it in ancient books, I don't know what the high opinion of the respected teacher is? ”

In Cheng Jue's impression, Yun Shu's master must be a great Confucian since he wrote the "Three Character Classic", and there must be an explanation for the knowledge of Gewu, Cheng Jue's knowledge is proficient, and he also has a lot of research on Confucian classics, so he is happy to see Yun Shu's problem and regards this as a discussion among literati.

Yun Shu sorted out his thoughts and said: "The family teacher thinks that the knowledge of things should be a word, and it is directly interpreted literally like self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, which means: to deduce the principle of things, so as to obtain knowledge. I don't know what Master Cheng thinks? ”

Yun Shu looked at Cheng Jue nervously, modern people's interpretation of Zhizhi with Gewu, I don't know if it can work in Yan and Song Dynasty, this can be regarded as modern knowledge being tested by history!

"Investigate the principle of things, so as to gain knowledge......" Cheng Jue frowned and recited silently several times in his mouth, and slowly his eyes became brighter and said: "Respect the teacher is worthy of a generation of Wenzong!" Cheng was impressed, the word Gewu Zhizhi was interpreted until the original meaning, I am afraid that the Spring and Autumn Sages should also mean this! ”

Yun Shu let out a long sigh of relief when he heard Cheng Jue's agreement, it seems that Yan Song has not yet been imprisoned in his thoughts, and people still welcome and accept new things and culture.

There is still more room for development of one's own Gewuxue, should we elevate Gewuzhizhi to the essence of the Confucian classics? Starting from Yan Song to embark on the road of becoming a scientific and technological power? Just thinking about it made Yun Shu's blood boil.

Looking at Yun Shu's excited appearance, Cheng Jue was inexplicably wonderful, what's wrong with this kid? Just now, he still looked bitter and hateful, why is he suddenly so excited? Is there anything good about it?

Yun Shu calmed down, after all, it was still difficult to create a new Confucian school in the Yan and Song dynasties, and his understanding of the essence of Confucianism was still not as good as that of contemporary Confucianism, so he first solved the matter at hand, so he said to Cheng Jue: "Lord Cheng, I came here this time to buy grain, and I also ask Lord Cheng to cooperate." ”

"Buying food?" Yun Shu's leapfrogging thinking made Cheng Jue a little boring, how could he think of buying grain? Unless grain is collected in accordance with regulations, there is almost no precedent for officials to purchase grain, so how can any scholar be willing to engage in merchant activities?

The amount of grain purchased by Yun Shu is huge, and the details are inconvenient to talk to Cheng Jue in detail, Yang Wei saw Cheng Jue frowning and pondering, Yun Shu glanced at himself vigorously, and said to Cheng Jue: "Lord Cheng's official family's gold medal and secret decree are all there, why is Lord Cheng so hesitant?" ”

Cheng Jue opened his mouth and said, "I don't know how much Lord Yun buys grain? ”

"Sixty thousand stone valleys, forty thousand stone rice, sixty thousand stone millet." The grain of 160,000 stone is equivalent to 18 million catties of grain now, of course, these are not all rice, this is the result of the calculation of Yun Shu and Su Xun Yang Wei and others, no matter how little it is, it will not be able to achieve the effect of suppressing grain prices, if the disaster is only limited to the vicinity of Henan and Kaifeng Mansion, these grains should be put on the market to play a leverage role.

In the early days of the drought, grain merchants from all over the country will inevitably flock to the region, selling less and storing more to raise grain prices. Yun Shu is ready to use the grain in his hand and the grain in the government's regular liquidation to fight a price war with the profiteers.

The grain purchased by Zhao Zhen's inner treasury, plus the grain that the state capital often closed and the grain temporarily purchased by Daomen, could completely tie with the grain merchants of Yan and Song. As long as there is enough grain on the market, grain merchants will have to sell grain at a low price. The price of grain cannot be too low, and Zhao Zhen absolutely does not allow grain to hurt the peasants.

Cheng Jue on the other side closed his mouth in surprise after hearing Yun Shu's words, the grain of hundreds of thousands of stones is completely on the scale of disaster relief, but I haven't heard of any disasters recently, isn't it a strange thing?

He was now wondering if he was dazzled, was the gold medal and secret decree just now fake? But no one dares to joke about such a thing!

Cheng Jue asked Yun Shu curiously, "Why did Lord Yun buy so much grain?" Hundreds of thousands of stone of grain is completely on the scale of disaster relief! Could it be that something happened and the official family wanted to hide it? This is absolutely unacceptable, please tell Lord Yun the truth! ”

Yun Shu knows what it means to share the world with scholars, and Cheng Jue, as a typical scholar, can completely disobey the orders of the official family, and even tell the world what Zhao Zhen concealed.

Seeing that the plan was about to go bankrupt, Yang Wei said to Yun Shu helplessly: "It's better to tell Master Cheng, after all, he wants to be involved, and you can't hide it from him for a while." ”

Yun Shu sighed helplessly and said: "It seems that this can only be the case, this matter is related to the reputation of the official family, and I ask Lord Cheng to keep it secret." ”

Cheng Jue nodded and said, "This is natural." ”

Yun Shu truthfully told Cheng Jue about the cause and effect and the attitude of the official, Yang Wei nodded frequently on the side, and Yang Wei's remarks showed that Yun Shu's words were true, and now it was Cheng Jue's turn to have a headache.

For Yun Shu's master, Cheng Jue's opinion is that a generation of Wenzong Confucianism, and the theory of Gewu is even more shocking, but even in the powerful Gewu, I am afraid that it will not be able to predict the natural disaster of drought, right? Could it be that Yun Shu's master really has the ability to predict good and bad fortune like the legendary Zhuge Wuhou?

Just when Cheng Jue was in conflict, there was a commotion outside the flower hall, and everyone looked out, and a messenger with a red flag on his back rushed over, bowed to Yang Wei and said: "Command Yang Qi, Henan Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, Zhengzhou, Yingchang Mansion, Ruzhou and other places have no rain in spring today!" "The person who came was Hao Jian.

Urgent delivery is the army action when there is a war and when the disaster is reported to the official family quickly, now the official family has enabled the urgent delivery to report the situation of the state capitals, indicating the urgency of the matter.

Yang Wei waved his hand and said: "Order the brothers everywhere to continue to investigate, and report every seven days!" ”

Hao Jian was ordered to go, Yun Shu was frowning, it seems that the disaster is even bigger than imagined, and it has affected three prefectures and two prefectures, including Kaifeng Mansion, these state capitals are densely populated places, and nothing can go wrong.

Cheng Jue was stunned by Hao Jian's words, if Master Yun Shu's prediction was true, I was afraid that there would be a big mess. What's more, Kaifeng Mansion is the place where the Son of Heaven is located, and the population of Tokyo City alone is not less than one million, and he was frightened into a cold sweat when he thought of this.
