The empty main hall, with two desks, is divided into main and secondary seats.

On the desk, there are several delicate lacquer cups, and a servant next to him is pouring freshly brewed strong tea for Liu Jian and Liu Yu respectively.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the real tea ceremony has not yet been formed, and it is not fashionable, only some people like this kind of thing, and the drinking method is very different from that of later generations, it is more similar to boiling tea like cooking porridge, and it is also seasoned with oil and salt.

Liu Jian is naturally accustomed to the drinking method of later generations, and his own clay pot is used to soak in new tea and boiling water, and the tea fragrance is clear and pure, which is the real fragrance of plants and trees.

Liu Yu is at the top of the clan and celebrities, and he naturally has to take out some hard goods to treat him.

Liu Yu took a sip, and after tasting it for a long time, he said, "It's the first time I've drunk the tea without seasoning."

Liu Jian smiled: "Drinking needs to be hearty, drinking tea is appropriate to be elegant, tea is born from the aura of heaven and earth, drinking it with heart, can make people sober and quiet, cleanse the lungs, wash away the dusty customs, add many spices to the tea, cover up the dust and fragrance of the tea itself, both consume materials, and it is not good to drink, but it is not beneficial."

Liu Yu took another sip, squinted his eyes and savored for a long time, and said with a stretched brow: "Sure enough, there is a fragrance that is not a noble person, and he can't understand this way."

After that, Liu Yu slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Deran is a pastoral envoy, and the official is a certain official, but he came here today to visit the government in his personal capacity, not as an official."

Liu Jian smiled and raised the teacup and said, "This is the best, I have long admired the name of Brother Bo'an, and it is a great honor to see it today."

In the late Han Dynasty, Liu Hong, Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, etc. were the first generation, and Liu Yan was a generation higher than them, so although Liu Yu was much older than Liu Jian, they still needed to be called brothers between each other.

"De Ran was not famous in the past, but in just a few years, it has surpassed all the sages, regardless of the rule of literature and martial arts, are among the best, and this time in front of His Majesty to protect the country of Anping and the king of Anping, the name of the virtuous spread widely in Hebei, but I don't understand, with the current virtuous name of Deran, but I have never heard of the rule of Deran? Why?"

Liu Jian smiled faintly: "Looking for chapters and excerpts, it's not my forte, I like the way of military strategy since I was a child, and I am good at discussing military strategies, as for this matter of governing the scriptures...... It's really not what I'm good at, so I'd better leave it to someone like my father-in-law to do it, and I won't follow."

Liu Yu stroked his beard and laughed: "Listening to my brother's words, I don't seem to like excerpts from the article sentence by sentence, yes, only through the scriptures, how can you prosper the country?" Gu Zhi cultivated Xin Yiyin, fished Weiziya, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping and others all had the talent to support the universe, and there were many books in their lives that were not reviewed...... Brother's words, yes."

Liu Jian smiled: "It's still Liu Jian's shallow knowledge."

Liu Yu said: "In the past, I wrote to Liu Junlang, and I heard that Junlang said that Deran has the ability to plan, and when I meet today, I want to discuss military strategy and local politics with Deran, and I hope I don't want to shirk."

"Haha, my brother grew up in a border county, so I don't dare to praise it, but since my brother has said this, although my brother is not talented, I don't dare to make my brother happy."

Liu Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Since Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty, there was no prime minister, strengthened the inner dynasty, cut the power of the three dukes, and strengthened the inner dynasty. ….

Liu Jian was holding the teacup, and his face was a little weird.

I said Brother Liu Yu.

Where are you talking to me about military strategy and local politics?

You are obviously talking to me, the most fundamental drawback of the Han Dynasty!

The first time we met, how did you ask me to answer?

Liu Jian held the teacup and said, "Liu Jian is short-sighted, what Brother Bo'an said is something that His Majesty and the sages of the clan think about day and night, and what generations of virtuous emperors can't do, how can I think of it?"

Liu Yuyan said, "Hehe, De Ran can't trust me? Do you know that among the clan ministers, except for Liu Junlang, the person most trusted by His Majesty is none other than you or me, if you and I can't be honest with each other, what hope does the Han family have?"

Liu Jian still didn't answer, just in his heart

Ponder the matter.

"Alas, that's it, the Tao is not the same, I don't want the people who Yun Chang admires to act so suspiciously, the old man really doesn't come this time! Farewell!"

After saying that, he saw Liu Yu get up, arched his hand towards Liu Jian, and was about to leave.

But as soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard Liu Jian's voice behind him:

"Without him, although the imperial power is concentrated in Luoyang, the kings are weak, but the rich land is flourishing, and the hidden people are becoming heavier, and the interpretation of the "Five Classics" is all in the door of the valve reading, and the talents who can govern the country and the country are all from the scholar family, and the people who can govern the country are limited, and they have been going on for many years, and even here."

When Liu Yu heard this, he suddenly stopped!

"That's a good word! Exactly!"

He turned his head to look at Liu Jian: "As Deran said, my brother also thinks the same, but when this is a difficult situation, how should you and I, as clansmen, solve this matter?"

Liu Jian stood up and said, "Although the ministers of the clan are few and declining, they are all loyal ministers! Inside and outside the government and the opposition, regardless of the ancient and modern texts, the fight is for the Taoist system, although the modern literature controls the official learning, but the ancient scriptures are gradually increasing, and their power is stronger than the modern text, and they are not self-contained, sooner or later they will overtake it, but regardless of the ancient and modern literary scholars, the reason why they can clamp down on His Majesty is because of the monopoly of knowledge and official careers, and those who can have strategies for governing the country are all from Gaomen, Liu Jian is short-sighted, but he also knows that if he wants to break the situation, there is only one way."

"Where?"

"Reduce costs and learn from others."

When Liu Yu heard this, he looked at Liu Jian curiously: "Isn't it enough for my Han to flourish today? Among the Taixue, there are more than 10,000 people who stay in Beijing all year round, isn't this still a flourishing school?"

Liu Jian shook his head and said, "What I mean is not such a flourishing of learning, today's Tai students, among the ten people, ten of them are from the Gongqing family, which can be said to have been passed down from generation to generation, and those who have knowledge and can only govern the country will always come from those families, and those who have no knowledge and no insight will always be unlearned and ignorant."

"The way to study, the cost is very high, the value of a volume of scriptures can hardly be measured in money, it is difficult to reach the public, Your Majesty used to repair the Xiping Stone Sutra, in addition to wanting to correct the scriptures, there is also a reason to be able to broaden the wisdom of the people, so that all people in the world can come to Luoyang to copy the scriptures to learn, but to come to Luoyang to study, after all, it is still those people of the big clan! After all, the cost of coming to Luoyang once is also extremely high."

"I have a population of 50 million in the Han Dynasty, and more than eight or nine out of ten people are illiterate, and those who are knowledgeable and understand the scriptures can be entrusted with the important task of governing the country, but there are only hundreds of thousands of people whose heads can govern the country, either those who read the gate or are the clans of scholars!" ….

"It doesn't take too much, if there are more than 10 million people in the Han Dynasty who can know how to read and write, as long as there are 10 million more people in the Han Dynasty and there are people who have a way to study, as long as they expand by one million more people, the disaster will be solved!"

Liu Yu looked at Liu Jian blankly, and didn't say anything for a long time.

To be honest, Liu Jian's remarks were very correct, and he pointed the finger at the root in one sentence.

The reason why the scholars of the Wang clan were able to control the government and coerce the imperial power was, in the final analysis, that no one was involuted with them!

Whether it is studying ancient or modern Chinese, those who have knowledge and can govern the country will always be those people, and they can only be used to govern the country.

And their ability to govern the country means that they can hold power, gain access to wealth resources, and have wealth resources and monopoly, so that future generations can continue to monopolize.

Liu Hong imposed the party restraint and banned these educated people who were in a group and prevented them from becoming officials, but in the end, the country became more and more chaotic, because it really didn't work without them to govern the country!

Because although there are many people left except for them, they can't reach the height of governing the country in terms of knowledge, so they can't be used!

Don't look at the Han Dynasty with a population of 50 million, but there are 4,000 people with hundreds of people, I am afraid that they can only recognize a limited number of words, let alone govern the country and secure the country.

There are really only a few people who have the knowledge to govern the country.

But on the contrary, it is such a small rub, which is both hateful and helpless, they monopolize eighty percent of the country's resources with their knowledge, so that the emperor does not want to use them but must still use them.

Two thousand years later, those countries with high-end technology industries in the world can still rely on technological blockade to absorb global resources.

It's because no one can roll with them.

If someone can roll it, whether it is the high-end technology of later generations, or the so-called "highly educated celebrities" now, they will all give him the price of cabbage, the price of worthless cabbage!

If you want to use it, you can use it, if you don't want to use it, you don't need it, if you get a thorn, I'm sorry, you can change people at any time!

There is nothing else, but people have!

Imagine that in the past, modern literature dominated the court, but with the gradual completion of the ancient scriptures, such a can still make the modern text unable to resist, but in terms of roots, the most intrinsic member family in the ancient and modern texts is still a wave.

The family that monopolized the Five Classics, because of the slight involution of the ancient and modern texts and Taoism, almost shattered the status of the present in the imperial court, and let others participate in the volume.

Involution is necessary for the destruction of monopolies.

However, having said that, in Liu Yu's opinion, this thing is still like a fantasy.
