Yuelu Mountain is as high as 100 zhang, and the mountains and peaks are stacked for dozens of miles, like a natural barrier, across the west of Changsha. The main peak Yunlu stone bones are beautiful, the Xiangjiang River goes north under the mountain, such as the jade belt, the heart of the Juzhou Fubi River, the north of the mountain is expected to be the Moon Lake, a piece of autumn water is connected with purple gas and green smoke.

Yuelu Academy is built in the mountains and forests, in the past, the corridor hall pavilion is by the mountain side stone, and the sound of Lang Lang reverberates among the mountain flowers and green leaves. Looking out from the railing, the cloud sail haunts the river, and the outline of the ancient city wall is all in the drawing.

But now, Yuelu Academy has been seriously damaged by the rebels, and more than eighty percent of the palace and academy have been destroyed in the war, leaving a sad ruin.

However, Qin Mu nomadism does not seem to be affected by the ruins in front of him, the academy is gone, the autumn colors of the mountains and forests are still there, the Xiangjiang River is still there, and the Moon Lake is still there, isn't it?

A group of people walked to Qingfeng Gorge, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the river, Qin Mu let people open wine and food under the mountain rocks, everyone sat under the trees, Wu Youdao and a few professors sat together, Qin Mu and Yang Shen, Shao Hua, He Liang, and a friend of Shao Hua named Guo Jintai sat together, and Yang Zhi and several women sat on the grass a little farther away.

After a glass of wine, Qin Mu suddenly became poetic, looked at the surging Xiangjiang River under the mountain and chanted: "Reminiscing about the past in the autumn wind, looking for friends next to Xiangshui." Shengyou is holding his coat, and he is even in bed at night. Don't be resentful, come back and be generous. However, it should be a small and dense place, and I still want to discuss it carefully. ”

Hey, as soon as he recited this poem, Wu Youdao's hard expression immediately relaxed, the reason, this poem was written by Zhu Xi when he recalled the scene of discussing knowledge with Zhang Yan in Yuelu Academy.

He stroked the gray beard, and sighed with a yearning face: "Back then, the two masters of Zhu and Zhang would speak in Yuelu Academy, and the world was a sensation, and there was an endless stream of people who came to listen. This kind of grandeur has ceased to exist since the two masters, and it is a pity that they could not be born in Si Shi. It is the great hatred of the old man's life. ”

"Oh? In this way, Wu Shanchang wants to be a Song person, but not a Ming person? Qin Mu asked with a smile, as if he was unintentional, but how did others think that he had dug a pit and waited for Wu Youdao to jump down.

Wu Youdao's wrinkled face suddenly turned a color of sauce, and he replied in a voice: "The governor wants to add to his crimes, why don't you say anything, the old man is eighty-four this year, and he has already understood life and death, but he is not afraid of this." ”

Qin Mu said with a smile: "This official wants to kill someone." Just draw the knife, do you need to find these reasons? ”

None of the people present expected Qin Mu to say such a fierce word, including Yang Shen and the others, and their faces couldn't help but change slightly, Qin Mu's words were close to a robber theory, it was hard to imagine that such a thing would come out of his mouth.

In other words, this official is not trying to offend you, he just wants to tell Mr. Wu that society is constantly moving forward. Academics must also continue to move forward, and in terms of academics, the only way to do this is to always be skeptical and boldly deny. Careful verification and continuous improvement can make progress. blindly hugging the thighs of the ancients, without their own ideological innovation. This in itself is a step backwards. ”

Now Wu Youdao is energetic, and he is about to roll up his sleeves to teach Qin Mu a lesson academically, but Qin Mu "Qiang!" He drew his sword. He smiled faintly and said, "If you want to defeat me mentally, I will first destroy you physically, and I don't believe you try." ”

"You insult Sven, insult Sven"

"Stop!" Qin Mu suddenly shouted, shocked Wu Youdao, and then said, "This official is an official, not a scholar, so I won't waste time on academic debates, thousands of people in Huguang are living in dire straits, how to let them live and work in peace and contentment is something that this official needs to consider;

This official knows that you believe in Cheng Zhu Lixue, and since you took charge of Yuelu Academy, you have been committed to eliminating the influence of Mr. Yang Ming's Xinxue, and now this official can clearly tell you that Benguan does not like Lixue and prefers Xinxue. Both science and mind pay attention to the knowledge of things, and after the knowledge, science pursues the "unity of heaven and man", and the study of mind pursues the "unity of knowledge and action". The difference between the two is precisely the reason why the official does not look down on science;

Even if you really make heaven and man one, what you pursue is only your own cultivation, and you have become a saint, but it is no good for ordinary billions of people. The science of mind focuses on understanding the truth of all things, and then practicing it, which has the meaning of saving the world;

You don't want to refute the official, the official will give you a fact now, from Ercheng to Yang Shi, Luo Congyan, Zhu Xi, Lu Zuqian, Yang Jian, Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng, Xu Heng, Wu Cheng, Cao Duan, Xue Xuan, Wu Youbi, Qiu Jun, Chen Xianzhang, etc., a large number of famous scholars in science add up, and their contribution to the national economy and people's livelihood is not as good as that of Mr. Yang Ming alone. The reason is because you pursue the unity of heaven and man, while Mr. Yang Ming pursues the unity of knowledge and action;

Mr. Zhuo Wu said well, dressing and eating is human physics. If today's chaos, hundreds of millions of people have no food and clothing, they are displaced, the country is in danger, and foreign races are eyeing each other, at this time, if you don't seek the unity of knowledge and action to save the common people, do you want the common people in the world to follow you to unite heaven and man? ”

Qin Mu didn't give Wu Youdao a chance to speak at all, and then said: "You study science, the official has no objection, but it's best to go home and study it yourself, the official of Yuelu Academy will be rebuilt in a short period of time, what the official needs is the talent to govern the world and the way to save the people, therefore, the rebuilt Yuelu Academy does not emphasize the unity of heaven and man, but only seeks the unity of knowledge and action." Mr. Wu is old and frail, so it is better to go home early to recuperate. ”

"You are the governor of southern Jiangnan, you can't control Huguanglai, and Yuelu Academy can't even interfere with you."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "If this official didn't come to Huguang, I'm afraid Mr. Wu would have starved to death in the mountains, right?" Can you still sit here and yell at your own officer? ”

This sentence is equivalent to stuffing all Wu Youdao's and pee back into his stomach, making his face red, but what Qin Mu said is the truth, if Qin Mu hadn't driven Zhang Xianzhong's rebels away, not to mention that his life would be gone, let alone the reconstruction of Yuelu Academy;

Besides, Yuelu Academy is not his Wu Youdao's private property, he is not qualified to dispose of it at all, and Qin Mu still has an official identity.

Qin Mu's strength was something that Wu Youdao never expected, and when it came to this, Wu Youdao had no need to stay, he got up and flicked his sleeves and walked away slowly, but his gait staggered more and more.

Only then did Qin Mu smile at Shao Hua's friend and ask, "This official heard that Mr. Guo is from Xiangtan?" ”

Guo Jintai, the word is young. He is only 34 years old this year, which is very young, but Gu Shaohua said that his knowledge is quite extraordinary, and he is a well-known scholar in Huguang. As soon as he was about to get up, he was stopped by Qin Mu waving his hand and said: "Mr. Guo doesn't have to be so polite, the official pays attention to practical talents, and you have just heard the official's words, what does Mr. Guo think, you may as well say it bluntly, hehe, Mr. Guo rest assured, although the official is strong, he is not reckless, at most it is just a matter of not conspiring with each other, so Mr. Guo may as well speak up if he has any ideas." ”

Guo Jintai also got together, and said with a long bow: "As the governor said, now that the mountains and rivers of my Daming are declining, the country is weak and dangerous. At this time, all scholarship should ultimately serve the country and benefit all people. ”

Judging from Guo Jintai's demeanor, his words still came from his heart, and Qin Mu liked this kind of pragmatic person. Martial arts in troubled times, repairing classics in prosperous times; In terms of academic matters, let's wait for the country to settle down and then study it. What Qin Mu needs now is pragmatic talents, so that all resources can be used by me, only in this way can I resist the rising Manchu Qing Dynasty and keep the Chinese clothes.

"Mr. Shao recommended you to the official, it seems that you have found the right person, Mr. Guo should remember what he said today, the official of Yuelu Academy will rebuild it as soon as possible, and then ask Mr. Guo to come forward to preside over the teaching of the academy." In fact, Mr. Guo can also do some preliminary work first, and he does not have to wait until the college is completely built to start recruiting and teaching. ”

"Thank you Lord Governor for your trust, I will definitely do my best to run the academy well."

Qin Mu nodded and said, "The so-called sitting in a well and watching the sky, the sky is small. After Mr. Guo took the helm of the academy, he should adhere to the concept of running a school that embraces all rivers and rivers and has tolerance, and tries to integrate the strengths of each family, and can not be confined to the form, let alone Huayi, only by absorbing the strengths of each family, can he be ahead of China and foreign countries. ”.
