Chapter 49: The Attitude of Learning
The city wall of Taoyuan County has four gates: Song Chong in the east, Zhennan in the west, Duanxi in the south, and Chaotian in the north. There is a city gate tower above the www.biquge.info city gate, there is an urn city outside the four gates, there is a corner tower at each of the four corners of the city wall, and there is a moat outside the city.
However, because Yan Song repelled the Khitan attack in Tanyuan, the successful defense made most of the officials think that they could recuperate, and Han Qi, the envoy of the third division, even proposed to the officials that they would not say anything about the army for 20 years, resulting in the slackness of the domestic soldiers and the negative repair of the city defense.
Yun Shu looked at the mottled city wall and sighed at the greatness of the ancients, according to the map records in the watchtower on the city wall, the city wall is about two zhang thick, and Yun Shu measured it with his footsteps, about six meters wide, and the inside is rammed earth and covered with masonry.
But now the masonry of the outer wall has been washed by rain, and it has become fragmented due to artificial removal and handling, and the rammed earth inside has grown grass, which is a completely dilapidated scene, and people with strong skills can climb the wall, and it seems that it is not impossible for the martial arts masters in the novel to fly over the city and walk on the ground.
Although Zhou Qi lost his mind for a short time after knowing Yang Wei's identity, he came back to his senses and said to Yang Wei: "It turned out to be Lord Yang of the front division of the palace, and the lower official was rude, but the adult did not wear official clothes, and did not show an official photo, and the lower official did not know the identity of the adult, and if he was offended, please atone for his sins!" After saying that, he bowed and saluted.
Looking at Zhou Qi's explanation with emotion and reason, coupled with his apology, Yang Wei didn't know what to do for a while. The so-called don't hit the smiling person, everyone has said the reason and apologized, can you still chase after it?
This is the difference between civilian officials and military generals, and the officialdom of the literati is witty and changeable. And the Yan and Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light on martial arts, and the status of military attachΓ©s in the court was not high, plus there were no literati who were good at being flexible, so they were restrained everywhere, which can be seen from Yang Wei and Zhou Qi.
Yun Shu looked at the two of them as a living textbook, vividly interpreting the political philosophy between the courts. Obviously, Yang Wei took the initiative, and Zhou Qi's simple words and apology could make Yang Wei not attack.
Seeing Yang Wei riding a tiger and getting down to Yun Shu said: "This is a misunderstanding, Lord Zhou Yun Shu will show you the wonderful use of cement." β
Zhou Qi touched his goatee and said, "That's very good!" Zhou Qi thought of the appearance of Yun Shu and Yang Wei talking and laughing before, it seems that he really underestimated this young man, and if he can talk and laugh with someone like Yang Wei, this son must have real skills.
Yun Shu said to Wang Fugui, who was watching from a distance: "Uncle Wang, you and Uncle Han demonstrate the use of cement, and let this prefect see it." β
Wang Fugui and Liu Laohan were shocked when they heard this, and even the prefect was shocked, and the two stepped forward excitedly to salute, threw up their arms and showed Zhou Qi hard.
Looking at the cement wall in front of him, he was speechless in surprise, this is amazing, a solid brick wall appeared in less than half an hour, and the cement solidification time is only two hours. With this speed and manpower and material resources to keep up, a city can rise from the ground in one day and one night! Touching the rough wall with his hand, he whispered in his mouth: "I am very lucky to have this!" β
Seeing Zhou Qi touching the wall like stroking his wife's face, Yun Shu felt a little cold on his body, and said softly: "What does Lord Zhou think?" β
Zhou Qi, who came back from his surprise, looked at everyone's eyes and smiled awkwardly and said, "The old man has lost his temper, Yun Xian's nephew is so good, how did you come up with it?" β
Yun Shu knew that he would ask him this and said, "Lord Hui, the cement was discovered by the master from Gewu and named Chemistry. This is where the use of the Kid in construction comes from. β
"Chemistry, chemistry, the science of change? Good name, it seems that the old man is underestimating the world's knowledge behind closed doors! Zhou Qi shook his head and sighed.
"This thing is of great use to my Yan Song! Virtuous nephews can apply the knowledge of the master to this benefit me Yan Song, please accept my worship! After speaking, Zhou Qi saluted Yun Shu.
This 180-degree change not only startled Yun Shu, but even Zhou Yunlong and Yang Wei on the side were also shocked.
Yun Shu hurriedly stepped forward and said that he didn't dare to say: "The kid just found one or two from the research of the tutor and applied it to life, adults don't have to be like this, this is what a kid should do." β
"Yun Xian's nephew and old man are also your elders in terms of age, the old man reminds you that the so-called knowledge lies in the subset of scriptures and history, although the things are good, they should not be obsessed too deeply! Miraculous tricks are little Doyle! Zhou Qi touched his beard and said.
Yun Shu now understands why Zhou Qi had a bad attitude towards himself before, in the eyes of Yan Song's doctor class, only those who work hard to learn are talents! It is no wonder that Wang Anshi's changes in history have been opposed by so many conservative forces, and probably this kind of conservative thinking has always bound the people of the present.
Yun Shu said helplessly: "The kid understands, but the family teacher has a cloud: the ancients have no effort to learn, and the young and strong work are old." On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it! The teacher often taught the children that Gewu is the method of studying the origin of all things in the world, that it is a part of the Tao, and that learning is also a part of the Tao, and that it is easier to verify each other's understanding of the Tao. β
Zhou Qi heard Yun Shu say this, and silently recited the poem several times in his heart and said: "A good sentence on paper is shallow, and I never know that I have to bow down on this matter!" It seems that I have encountered a bottleneck, and I have been greatly inspired by this statement! Goodbye, little friends. After speaking, he didn't say hello to others and left, and while walking, he whispered about the landing tour "Winter Night Reading Show Ziyu".
Looking at Zhou Qi who was far away, everyone suddenly felt that this old man was not so annoying, Zhou Qi's dedication to learning and his teachings to Yun Shu made Yun Shu feel that he was an old-fashioned and persistent gentleman, and now it seems that he is not only old-fashioned and persistent, but also has a flexible side, is this the attitude of the ancients towards learning?
Looking at Zhou Qi's back, Yun Shu suddenly felt so familiar, right! Just like his own professor in college, although old-fashioned but there is no lack of dedication to learning, often quarrel with others over some academic issues, whether it is a student or a leader because of different views and fierce debates, but if other people's views are indeed correct, or can bring him inspiration, he is happy like a child, pulling people must invite someone to dinner to express gratitude.
"Yun Xian's nephew, my uncle is like this, he is so meticulous about learning, and he is too impatient to do something. Don't be surprised. Zhou Yunlong explained.
Yun Shu feels that it is the opposite, and it is precisely because of this persistent academic attitude of Lord Zhou that he is the most respected. Yun Shu said to Zhou Yunlong.
Yang Wei interjected on the side: "Isn't it just an old-fashioned one? There are fewer such people in the DPRK? It is precisely because of their strong opposition that it is difficult for the officials and the prince to implement the new law! But this old guy is okay, not too old-fashioned, at least he can be flexible and better than those people! β
