That night, the banquet for 6 Jiuyuan allowed Mao Geng to meet the well-known master of "Xinxue" in the Great Song Dynasty.

6 Jiuyuan's "study of the mind" is the set of subjective idealism, of course, this is the hat that later generations put on it. 6 Jiuyuan's "clear heart" is nothing more than the belief that people are born with a benevolent heart, and as long as you brush away the dust, you can make this benevolent heart no longer be dusty. In other words, you are born with "truth, goodness and beauty" in your heart, as long as you concentrate on it, one day you will suddenly have an epiphany, it turns out that truth, goodness and beauty are in your heart, congratulations, when you reach this realm, you have the potential to become a moral master.

6 Jiuyuan's "study of mind" and Zhu Xi's science originally had their own merits, but 6 Jiuyuan and Zhu Xi had a famous academic controversy, which was the famous Goose Lake Meeting.

It is said that in the second year of Chunxi (1175), at the invitation of Lu Zuqian, 6 Jiuyuan and 6 Jiuling came to meet Zhu Xi in the Goose Lake Temple of Xinzhou Lead Mountain, Lu Zuqian's original intention was to bridge the differences between Zhu Xi and the 6 Jiuyuan brothers and "will return to one", but after the two sides entered the role, they did not give in to each other academically, leading to an academic debate that lasted for more than ten days, which was known as the "Goose Lake Meeting" in history.

Generally speaking, the controversy between Zhu and 6 is not only an ontological problem, but also an epistemological problem, as well as a methodological problem.

According to later generations, the focus of the disagreement between the two men was on whether or not to take the mind as the essence of the universe. Zhu Xi believes that the mind and reason are both closely related and different, reason is the ontology, the heart is not the ontology, the heart is the subject of cognition; 6 Jiuyuan takes the mind and reason as one, the heart is the ontology of the universe, and the mind runs through the subject and the object.

Zhu Xi believes that reason is the root of all things, and the heart has all things and responds to all things, so he advocates that things are exhausted, and the accumulation of one thing today and one thing tomorrow, "knowledge of things", and finally achieve a sudden breakthrough and grasp the principles of heaven; 6 Jiuyuan believes that the heart contains all things, and the heart is the universe formed by all reason, so he advocates that he should first establish the greatness, grasp the highest law of the universe, and advocate self-realization from things and seek from the heart.

Zhu Xi believes that the reason is in the matter (qi), one reason is scattered into ten thousand differences, and things have their own reason, and advocates that things are things, exhaustively study their reasons, pay attention to lectures and reading, and look at the expo. 6 Jiuyuan believes that the reason is in my heart, my heart is reason, my heart is the universe, and conscience is inherent in conscience, so he advocates knowing the heart and paying attention to the "nourishing heart" of reflexiveness, and opposes blindly lecturing and reading, thinking that lecturing can only be fragmented, and only the inner self-realization of the heart can see the heart and reason, and achieve simplicity.

Regarding the dispute between Zhu and 6, Mao Geng's opinion is that logically speaking, Zhu Xi's science should be more tenable, but emotionally, Mao Geng is more inclined to the side of 6 Jiuyuan. Without him, this is all due to the reflection of the Republic of China and the conclusion that "science harms people", and the sentence "saving heavenly reason and destroying people's desires" made Mao Geng extremely disgusted with Zhu Xi. On the contrary, "the universe is my heart, and my heart is the universe" has the pride of swallowing heaven and earth, and there are such words as "the six scriptures note me, and I note the six classics", which only about 6 Jiuyuan dares to say. Among these two thinkers of the Great Song Dynasty, Mao Geng was of course more willing to cooperate with 6 Jiuyuan.

On the second day, the whaling cannon could not be test-fired, so even the test firing of the cannon was postponed to the third day.

So, the next day, Mao Geng, as the owner, specially took 6 Jiuyuan to visit.

6 Jiuyuan, as a young superintendent of weapons, has been the direct supervisor of the Kaohsiung Metropolitan Institute since then, Mao Geng is now careful in everything, and he will naturally have the consciousness of taking the initiative to hand over.

Gunpowder factories are already producing purified gunpowder.

The nitrate originally used in the Great Song Dynasty contained too many impurities, and the ratio with sulfur and charcoal was not the best ratio, so the power of the explosion was greatly reduced.

Today's nitrate is repeatedly purified by egg white and animal glue, and the ratio is more scientific, so the power of the newly produced gunpowder is not the same as in the past.

After visiting the factory where the mines were made, 6 Jiuyuan's mood began to jump.

"Mr. Xiangshan, what do you think?" , Seeing that 6 Jiuyuan was happy, Mao Geng did not forget to let him express his opinion.

Brother Tongfu praised him in the letter, and Maote really didn't disappoint 6! 6 is the right place. However, it seems that the improvement of gunpowder and mines is not enough to reflect Maote's ingenuity, and 6 will not be able to express a complete opinion tomorrow after 6 has seen the power of the cannon. ”

Okay! 6 Jiuyuan is actually very good at speaking. Mao Geng felt that 6 Jiuyuan's words were already a great praise, and he was very useful in his heart for a while.

In the afternoon, Mao Geng led 6 Jiuyuan to see other factories except for the military weapons system, and the more 6 Jiuyuan looked, the happier he became. In the end, 6 Jiuyuan felt the need to ask Mao Geng a question:

"Maote, what do you think about recovering the homeland and the Central Plains in Beiding?"

"If Mr. Xiangshan is willing to accompany me here in Kaohsiung for three years, I think that after three years, he will be able to settle in the Central Plains."

According to the pursuit of 6 Jiuyuan, there must be this question, and Mao Geng is not surprised at all. Mao Geng felt that if he was a qiē shun lì, it would take another year or so for the Great Song Dynasty to establish a military advantage, but even in this era, war was also a competition of comprehensive strength, Mao Geng felt that for the sake of safety, after three years of industrialization, in order to establish a comprehensive advantage of sweeping the Jin soldiers.

"Mao Te's promotion of 6 is not practical 6 here, three years later, it can also be decided by a war in the Central Plains. 6 How can a certain virtue be able to let Maote be so lifted! ”

Mao Gen said solemnly:

"Mr. Xiangshan used to give lectures in Guozijian, and there is a passage that I remember clearly below-'The sage values China, and he is not a private China. China has the air of harmony between heaven and earth, so where etiquette and righteousness lie. Those who are noble in China are not noble in China, and they are also noble and righteous. Mr. spoke incisively, and admired it to the bottom. ”

This admiration is not a compliment, it is Mao Geng's admiration from the bottom of his heart. Mao Geng felt that this passage of 6 Jiuyuan could be translated into several versions.

Translated into the version of the later American emperors, that is, our China's "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith" is a universal value under the whole world, so China is superior. Those who support or aspire to China can be allies or cooperate. As for opposing China, it is a deviation from universal values and belongs to the axis of terrorism and evil.

Translated into the 21 st century version of the Celestial Empire, that is, China is a model of the "three represents": representing the most advanced productive forces, representing the most advanced culture, and representing the interests of the broadest masses of the people. Therefore, only China has the supreme authority to "patrol the heavens and hunt on behalf of the people".

Of course, at least compared to the primitive tribes here in Taiwan, the Great Song Dynasty can indeed be called a representative of advanced civilization. The Great Song Dynasty led the primitive tribes to advanced civilization, which is the logic of 6 Jiuyuan, and it is also the supreme correct logic.

What makes Mao Geng even more admired is that 6 Jiuyuan is the most outstanding orator of this era, and there is no one.

6 Jiuyuan's speech is said to have reached the point of being so supernatural that even the peddlers' pawns were happy to listen to his speech on the spot. His lectures are often unprecedented, with audiences often numbering in the hundreds. Due to the large number of audiences, they often have to choose to give lectures at Buddhist temples and temples in various places, because only the venue there can accommodate many audiences.

There is a passage that describes the lecture of 6 Jiuyuan:

"Every day, the drums of the fine house are sounded, and the sedan chair arrives. Will ascend to speak and sit, the complexion is pure, and the spirit is bright. The scholar also used a small card to name Nian Jia, and unveiled it in the preface, and sat down. There are no less than dozens of hundreds, and there is no uproar. Teach with the spirit of restraint, cultivate virtue, and listen to lectures with an open mind. All living beings listen. Not a disciple preaching, every enlightening person's heart. Occasionally, the scriptures are used as evidence, and the sound is clear, and the listeners are all moved. ”

Such a master, in addition to being a natural thinker, was also born an educator, and sometimes, he was also a sophist.

"Mr. Xiangshan, what do you think of the Kaohsiung Special Economic Zone?"

"Very good, as Brother Tongfu said, this is the hope of the Great Song Dynasty."

Of course, Mao Geng didn't just want to hear 6 Jiuyuan's words, Mao Geng shook his head and sighed lightly:

"Mr. Xiangshan, I feel that there is a great flaw here."

"Oh, what's missing?"

"Don't Mr. Xiangshan think that there is a missing academy here! I want to set up a academy here, and it is best to be able to catch up with the scale of Guozijian in the future, what do you think? ”
