The next day, Xu He got up early to wash up and went into the city to come to the county office.

After the door was passed on, he was introduced into the guest room of the county yahoutang.

Sure enough, Xie Kun was reading a book while waiting for him to come over.

Waiting for Xu He to give a salute, Xie Kun did not speak, but just motioned for him to sit down first, and then continued to look at the book in his hand with relish.

After a while, he put down the book and raised his hand to look at Xu He: "I heard that you wrote a poem in front of the new military constitution yesterday?" ”

Li Zhijie's big mouth, he must have come back to publicize it.

"Thousands of hammers are carved out of the mountains, and the fire burns as if it were idle. Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world. Xie Kun did not speak after reciting "Lime Yin", and the whole person seemed to be savoring the artistic conception of this poem.

"I'm not afraid of broken bones, I want to leave my innocence in the world. If all the princes of the court and the court have your ambition, why worry about my great Wei mountains and rivers withering, and the common people will be in trouble! After Xie Kun finished speaking, his face showed indignation.

Xu He was a little confused when he heard this: "Uncle Shi, our Great Wei has been peaceful for a long time, and the people are peaceful, even if there are bandits and natural disasters, it is just a disease of mustard moss, and it seems that it has not yet reached the situation where the mountains and rivers are withering and the common people are suffering, right?" Xu He wondered.

Xie Kun glanced at Xu He, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "In the thirty-fourth year of Zheng, Huguang was drought, crops were lost, the people were hungry, and the children were eaten. ”

"In the thirty-fourth year, the prefectures and counties to which Baoding belonged were flooded, and the floods rushed east and west, Huaishan Xiangling, and corpses were everywhere."

"In the thirty-fourth year of Zheng, Yingtianhui, Ningchi, Tailu, Anqingchu and Guangde and other prefectures were disasters, the walls collapsed, the people ran to the heights to hide from the water, the epidemic was epidemic, and more than 3,200 people died."

"In the 34th year of Zheng, Shanxi Fu was invited by the official to distribute grain and grass to Sanguan in Shanxi Prefecture and County, because the captives wantonly plundered the border, the people of Shanxi were exhausted and unable to cultivate, and they also happened to encounter a locust plague, resulting in a shortage of green and yellow, and more than 20 rebellions by hungry people."

Xie Kun looked at Xu He with burning eyes: "Did you find anything?" ”

"It's all from last year!" Xu He frowned, he really didn't expect that what age it was, there would be a tragedy of Yizi eating food.

Xie Kun sneered: "What I just said is only a fraction of last year's disaster, just according to the household statistics, there are 274 natural disasters that local officials concealed and did not report. Do you think this is still a long time of peace and peace for the people? ”

Xu He was shocked in his heart, he thought that these were already miserable just now, but he didn't expect that there would be more than 270 disasters in the whole year.

Where is this long-term peace, this is simply full of holes!

Xie Kun saw that his face was shocked, so he laughed: "It was a natural disaster just now, now let's talk about man-made disasters!" ”

"In the thirty-fourth year of Zheng, Zhang Shiche, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and others played, at the junction of Jurong, Liyang, and Guangde, there were bandits who broke through the prison of Jurong County, killed the county order, and hanged the main book, and only the county Cheng went to the countryside to spare!"

"In the thirty-fourth year of Zheng, Governor Su Song impeached the commander of the Suzhou Mansion Guard, connived at the soldiers, pretended to be lake bandits, robbed passing merchants, and the incident was leaked, and Han Chengqing, the governor of Su Song, was killed!"

"In the thirty-fourth year of Zheng, the Japanese robbed Hushu Pass, and the new governor of Susong, Cao Bang, led 3,000 guards to attack the thieves, and the guards were defeated, and thousands of Lou Yu died!"

"In the thirty-fourth year of Zheng, 17 Japanese invaders captured Changshu, set fire to them, and the residents of Nancheng were killed, none of them were spared, and all the soldiers died."

Xu He was shocked when he heard this.

I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty in the previous life also existed in the Great Wei Dynasty.

And just last year, Xie Kun casually talked about a few examples, all of which happened near Hailing.

This is only the thousand-mile sea frontier in the south of the Yangtze River and the southeast coast of the Great Wei Dynasty, and how many such tragic things are happening.

Hearing this, he had long lost the feeling of singing and dancing in his previous body.

For a moment, he seemed to see the terrible situation of hungry people everywhere and the wailing of living beings.

Xie Kun laughed miserably: "Boy, do you still think that the world is like an iron bucket, and water can't be splashed?" ”

Xu He was silent.

"But when the situation in the world is in danger, in the capital, the eunuchs are in charge, the court members are the same party, and the traitors control the government. The emperor has not been to the court for thirteen years, and I heard that he is now obsessed with monasticism, and all matters are handed over to Qin Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet. ”

"Qin Yan appointed party henchmen and squeezed out loyal ministers, making the court miserable."

"So, do you think this world is still peaceful and prosperous in your mind?"

If what Xie Kun said is true, then where is this peaceful and prosperous era, this Great Wei Dynasty is clearly a situation where a blind man rides a blind horse and is in a deep pond in the middle of the night!

"That's why I said, this court is not as good as you, a boy who is not a child."

"Anyway, you still have the ambition to leave your innocence in the world and die a clear will. Those people are just maggots in the corpse food and flies and dogs. ”

Innocence, Xu He's original intention was to prove his innocence.

But when it comes to Xie Kun, it will be compared to the bigwigs who ruined the discipline and corrupted the government.

This teacher belongs to the concept of stealing, but it cannot be said that his reading comprehension is off topic.

Xu He thought about it, it was estimated that he was uncomfortable in his heart, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to play on the topic.

But why did he tell a social student who was not a child about these natural and man-made disasters, internal and external difficulties?

Xu He was a little puzzled.

I thought that Xie Kun would continue this topic, but after he gathered his thoughts, he began to ask about Xu He's studies.

"I heard that you have read through the Four Books, have you chosen this scripture?"

Like Fengfang, Xie Kun's most important task in asking Xu He about his studies was also to inquire about the scriptures.

Xu He said: "I haven't chosen yet, I don't know which of the Five Classics does the master think is suitable?" ”

The choice of the Five Classics is not urgent for Xu He at this stage, until the township examination and the meeting examination, the first test is two articles, one is four books, and one is five scriptures.

The four books are equivalent to the number of languages in later generations, which are all compulsory items, and the volumes are the same.

However, the five scriptures are tested in the Shizi Sutra, that is, in the Five Classics, if the scholar chooses the "Book of Rites", the five scriptures will test the topics related to the "Book of Rites".

But this kind of non-urgency is only relatively speaking, with Xu He's level of reading through the "Four Books", it is time to choose the scriptures in advance and start studying the topics of the Five Classics.

"The choice of this scripture needs to be cautious, I will give you a direction, first of all, you have to choose the one you are interested in from the five classics, so that you can read it tastefully and be able to persevere!"

Xu He nodded when he heard this, this is easy to understand, interest is the best teacher.

Thinking of this, he first ruled out "The Book of Rites" and "Zhou Yi", these two books are good to listen to, and difficult to understand, which is really not what interests him.

"Secondly......" Xie Kun continued, "it is best to have a regional scripture or a family history, so that someone can learn from you and grow up!" ”

"Regional Specialty?" Xu He was a little confused, sure it was [Specialization] and not [Specialization]?

Xie Kun seemed to sense his doubt, and explained: "The regional classics refer to the relatively concentrated selection of one of the five classics by readers in some places as the scripture for their own examination. ”

"For example, most of the readers in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province choose the Book of Rites as their scripture!"

"Jiangxi Anfu Shizi is good at governing "Spring and Autumn"!"

"Changshu Shizi likes to choose "Poetry"!"

"Wuxi scholars mostly govern the Book of Shang!"

"And the scholars of Yinxian County, Ningbo, like to choose "Zhou Yi"!"

When he heard the words Ningbo Yinxian, Xu He suddenly remembered the fat man Fengfang yesterday.

He hurriedly told Xie Kun about Fengfang's gift of "Notes on Mao's Poems".

Who knew that after Xie Kun heard Fengfang's name, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his face showed displeasure.
