Hao Ren bathed and changed clothes, and even burned a stove of incense to make himself feel more solemn. After doing this, he waited for the Song people who had come to lead him to see Zhao Jiaren. Not long after these preparations were over, people came. Hao Ren picked up a pamphlet with a number of questions written on it, and set off with Zhao Taiwei's envoy.

When he was conducting diplomatic offense and defense with Liu Meng, Hao Ren knew that Liu Meng didn't want him to see Taiwei Zhao, so he took advantage of this sufficient time to write the problem clearly. Now, no matter what changes have taken place in the Song Kingdom, Mongolia still has a considerable advantage in terms of overall strategy. At least Hao Ren believes that Mongolia has a considerable advantage.

In the past, when the Mongols conquered one place at a time, they slaughtered one place at a time, and although there were also massacres during the southern expedition, the entire policy of the southern expedition was not based on massacres. If the Song State really had to fight to the death with the Mongols, the Mongols would have countless means to press the bottom of the box and not escape and use them. Under such circumstances, Hao Ren firmly believed that as long as he insisted, Song Guo could not help but back down.

Of course, when he went to face Taiwei Zhao, Hao Ren had no such thoughts. Regarding Liu Meng's existence of wanting to play tricks, Hao Ren felt that he should deal with it like this. Facing Taiwei Zhao, who can open the door to a world in a few words, Hao Ren has a feeling of respect except for the heart of learning.

Seeing Taiwei Zhao again, Hao Ren found that Taiwei Zhao's outfit was not much different from before. If you have to look for it, it's probably the mud on your shoes and legs that is gone. The two sat down, and Hao Ren saw that there were some other people next to him, but none of these could make Hao Ren feel any concern. He asked bluntly, "Captain." Even if the science is wrong, it is the cornerstone of my view of the world. It's all right what Xunzi said, but I can't let Xunzi turn those into my canes. If I can't afford it, how should I deal with it? ”

The attitude of Hao Ren, a thousand households in Mongolia, touched the Great Song cadres and officials who were listening to them a lot, so that their faces changed slightly. These cadres and officials were brought by Zhao Jiaren to observe, first of all, to prove to Zhao Jiaren, and these people are also members or probationary members of the society, and Zhao Jiaren also wants them to get something by auditing. The armistice envoys of the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia will come out of these people.

Zhao Jiaren replied frankly: "Today's stepping stone is tomorrow's stumbling block. Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new. The key is whether you can deny materialism, and if you agree, you will have an angle to see the world. Just because you see materialism today doesn't mean that you see the world with materialism. These answers are not concealed, they do not use logical sophistry. The number of Han listeners is twenty or thirty times that of the Mongolian thousand-household Hao Ren, and if the Han people experience it from it are not as good as the Mongolian Hao Ren, Zhao Jiaren feels that Hao Ren deserves such an educational opportunity.

"What is materialism and what is idealism?" Hao Ren continued to ask. With a certain amount of learning experience and the experience of life and death on the battlefield, Hao Ren knows that learning can't be like a big water rushing across the ground, looking at everything is covered, but it's actually useless. Human energy simply cannot master so many knowledge points at the same time. You can only grasp the key points and learn the logical chain in them.

Just as his teacher Hao Jing once made a very classic exposition on Kublai Khan, "If it is difficult to rule the world, it is difficult to ascend to the sky, and easy is easy to reverse." If there is a law, it will be governed, and if it is charged, it will be governed, and if it is a gentleman, it will be governed. If this is the case, wouldn't it be easy to rule the world? If you can't do it, you will be chaotic, if you have no name, if you are not real, if you are a villain, if you are a gentleman, you will be chaotic. If this is the case, wouldn't it be difficult to rule the world? And it is the way to govern, but it is just a discipline program and a legislative system. Discipline is maintained; and those who are testified shall be rewarded and punished. Today, the big officials and small officials, down to the gangsters, are all indulgent and indulgent, harming the public with their own interests, and there is no discipline. Those who have merit may not be rewarded, those who are guilty may not be punished, and even those who have merit may be humiliated, and those who are guilty may be favored, and they will not be able to survive. It is fortunate that the law is abolished, the discipline is bad, and the world is not chaotic. ’

This passage made Kublai Khan completely impressed by Hao Jing's insight after seeing Hao Jing, and also made Hao Ren later become a disciple of Hao Jing.

Zhao Jiaren did not know Hao Ren's experience, and he answered Hao Ren's question, "Materialists believe that matter is the first nature, consciousness is second, and matter exists before consciousness. Idealists believe that consciousness is the first nature, matter is secondary, and that consciousness exists before matter. There are a lot of debates in this, and those are very complicated, which is not what we want to talk about at this meeting. I consider myself a materialist, and I believe that the basis of my ability to feel in my hands is that I must first have a hand. If my hands are cut off on the battlefield, then I can't feel anything with my hands. ”

"But I've seen people who have lost their hands but can feel the pain in their hands." Hao Ren continued his question. These cases are famous, and many of those who have lost their arms and still feel pain in their hands are still recognized as upright, and their pain does not seem to have been done for the sake of grandstanding. Therefore, it is believed that there are gods and ghosts.

Hearing this case, Song Gongming, an observer below, changed his face. His father, Song Dahe, had similar symptoms, and after losing his left arm in a battle with pirates, he could always feel the pain coming from the lost left arm. Everyone said that his father was evil, but Zhao Jiaren always insisted that he was a disease. As long as there is the appropriate medical equipment, it can be treated.

At that time, everyone did not dare to oppose Fujian Lu's words to mention the prison, but everyone, including Song Dahe, felt that Zhao's words were just to appease people's hearts. Until Zhao Tidian made a glass mirror.

Song Gongming will never forget that day, his father was fixed on a chair, and several large and small mirrors were placed on the table in front of him, forming a complete reflection. The severed part of the arm is actually hidden behind the mirror, but after the reflection of the mirror, the reflection of another intact arm makes it seem as if there is an arm again in the place where the arm was lost.

Zhao Jiaren asked Song Dahe to look at the image of the arm that should have lost his arm, and at the same time ordered: "Hold both hands tight." ”

Subconsciously, Song Dahe clenched his right hand, and then he saw that his 'left hand' was also naturally clenched.

"Stretch both hands out." Zhao Jiaren then ordered.

Song Dahe's 'left hand' stretched out naturally again. Because his body was fixed, Song Dahe could only move his hands except for seeing with his eyes. After going back and forth like this a few times, this man, who is usually quite resolute, was surprised at first and said in surprise: "My hands don't hurt anymore!" Then she burst into tears.

Later, I heard that Taiwei Zhao had treated several of the same cases with the same methods, but Song Gongming didn't see it, so he didn't feel anything. Now listening to the people in Mongolia actually cite such an example, Song Gongming felt a great shock in his heart. He originally thought that his father was a special being, but he did not expect that there was more than one case similar to his father in distant Mongolia.

Song Gongming found it difficult to describe his mood at this time, he was happy to know that his father was an absolutely normal person, but he was also a little disappointed because his father was not special.

Zhao Jiaren gently tapped his head with his hand: "Materialism is not without foundation, otherwise it will be simple materialism like Xunzi." That is, he only has a firm materialist stance, but he cannot use materialism to explain more problems. For example, the question you just asked has a basis, and the brain is responsible for thinking in the human body. And some people think that the heart thinks, like the heart. If you agree that the brain thinks, then you can move on to the discussion. If you don't believe me, we don't have anything to discuss. ”

Hao Ren lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Since it was said by Taiwei Zhao, I am willing to believe what Taiwei Zhao said." Although Hao Ren made a decision to agree with the authority in a short period of time, Hao Ren himself also felt through many things that when other organs were uncomfortable, it did not affect his thinking, and as long as his head was dizzy, he could not continue to think. Based on this empiricism, he is willing to agree for the time being with the basis proposed by Zhao Jiaren.

Zhao Jiaren has a higher evaluation of Hao Ren, when he is teaching, most adult students can't choose what they want to believe so decisively, so Zhao Jiaren smiled: "That pain is generated by the brain, as long as it can affect the brain, it can solve this problem." This time, I can send messengers who understand this kind of medical technique to treat those whom Mr. Hao has encountered. This only proves that there is a brain to have such a response, and without a brain, there is no basis for feelings. ”

"The way of heaven that science speaks, how can it be that the brain came up with it?" Hao Ren continued to ask.

"It's those who are engaged in science and say it's the way of heaven. As for whether it is the way of heaven or not, everyone's opinion is different. So the ideas you hear now, the books you see, are the ideas that come out of people's brains. Believe it or not, that's the way of heaven, it's a personal matter, and what I can guarantee is that what we humans say is not the way of heaven. And some people will also use this statement to say that what he said is not his personal meaning, but that the heavens or gods said it through his mouth, and recorded it through his pen. That's even more of a big liar. Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but smile a little when he said this. Even in the 21st century, it was only after the age of 20 that he fully established this idea by logic and reason. In the past, Zhao Jiaren was actually quite susceptible to the influence of other people's words.

Hao Ren asked a lot of questions, his face became more and more solemn, and the original expression of joy after hearing the concept was no longer there. Finally, Hao Ren asked, "Taiwei, if it is according to what you say, idealism is wrong. But why is it that the idealism you are talking about now is the majority? If materialism is right, shouldn't everyone be materialistic? ”

"Idealism and materialism are two attitudes towards the world, two concepts that human beings have come up with to explain problems. The basis of the existence of these two things is the flesh rather than the language. Because I can't recognize my own existence, it's inevitable to have idealism. We have all encountered things that do not reach the meaning of words, and only after we have accumulated a lot of experience, a lot of study and reflection can we establish a materialistic position. It is also easy to develop an innate materialistic attitude, but a materialistic attitude is not the same thing as a stance. ”

After saying this, Zhao Jiaren glanced around the officials and cadres of the Great Song Dynasty. He had to think of Confucius's extremely materialistic words, 'If you are not angry, you will not be angry, you will not be angry, you will not be angry, you will not be angry if you do not oppose three corners, and you will not recover'.

This Hao Ren has a strong need to learn, and has a heartfelt desire to solve doubts. And the Da Song gang doesn't have such a need, huh...... That Song Gongming looked better.

"That's all for today." Zhao Jiaren gave the order. He had already decided to make Song Gongming a member of the mission, because of this guy's learning attitude, Zhao Jiaren wanted to give him a chance.
