Chapter 644: Wind and Thunder Brush Cutting Old Mountains and Rivers (4)

The one who sings the love is Liang Airu, who is from Foshan, and he is only in his twenties this year, and he doesn't even have the fame of the former Qing Dynasty, but Foshan is where Zhu Ming's mountain house is located, and now he is directly under the rule of Guangzhou Mansion. What's more, Foshan can be said to be the "land of dragon prosperity" for a certain big man, and Liang Airu read it in the Qinggeng Academy presided over by Zhu Mingshanfang.

And the person who sang the opposite scene with him was almost forty years old, and he was also in a square scarf robe, with three locks of beard and a pure Confucian demeanor. This is Shunde Xiucai Long Tinghuai, who was originally under the rule of the former Qing Dynasty and was also a famous old talent, who was expected to be successful in the provincial examination, but delayed this great change in the dynasty.

But no matter how the future is rubbing, this Long Xiucai always looks like a Taoist gentleman, and when he speaks at this time, it seems to be stern, but it is more of a persuasion: "The Tang Dynasty opened the Tao, and the Song Dynasty had miscellaneous subjects, but Confucianism and righteousness are the right way." All of a sudden, the two holy places in the north and south are good, and our generation of scholars can't change them, but what about after the two saints return to heaven? The future prince should always be taught by my generation of Confucian scholars, right? Therefore, in order to be the first saint of the Taoist system, my generation must not only respond to the scientific field of the national dynasty, but also must be Chinese, so as to earn an opportunity for the future to clean up the source!"

These words are reasonable, and they stand at the root of Confucianism, and everyone here has read the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and most of them are nodding.

In the corner, there is also a table of people, led by a person wearing a Dongpo scarf and a magnolia-colored crane, like a mountain dweller, and the companion sitting next to him is a Taoist attire.

But now it's also fashionable for Xiucai to change his outfit, but no one cares about such things. There were also people in the middle who came to greet him, and he only said that his surname was Feng, and his name was Phoenix Ming.

Back then, the master of Daohai Zongyuan killed Feng Tiannan in Foshan Town, and now everyone knows about it, and I don't know how many troupes of southern opera and northern opera are performing the play "Wei Zhenjun's sword slashing the southern tyrant".

When those Xiucai heard this person claiming to be surnamed Feng, they subconsciously felt a little taboo, and said "Jiuyang" and put him aside.

This Phoenix Ming didn't care, just smiled on his face, and listened to the talk of those old talents and little celebrities.

Fang Cai Long Tinghuai had a discussion, which attracted many Xiucai to nod yes, and praised him for "making a righteous argument", but Liang Airu couldn't sit still, he put down the ebony chopsticks, and snorted: "Friend Long said it well, but how do you know what kind of system the current scientific examination is, and how to take the fame of this dynasty? Then what kind of system should be changed, and it will be necessary to take people according to the craft?"

Long Tinghuai heard what he said, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "Friend Liang, listening to what you said, how do you want to come to the dynasty to get scholars, do you have news? ”

Wu Bingjian sat there, he was a person who didn't smile, but his eyes were shrewd, as if he could move as soon as he loaded the news of the organ. The fifth son of the Wu family stood up and arched his hand towards Liang Airu: "Brother Liang, everyone is here to run for the future of the science field, since Brother Liang has any news, I might as well tell you about it, at least what books we want to read, what arts we want to learn, and we have a direction to work hard, and it is not in vain that we gather in Fucheng this fate." ”

Liang Airu is also a young man, and he couldn't bear Wu Bingjian's pleading, so he nodded and said: "I'm just thinking about it in private, and it's just a fool to get it, since Brother Cheng said so, then the little brother will say a few words shyly." As you know, the younger brother was born from Qinggeng Academy, and the courses in the academy are divided into three courses: Mingdao, Gewu, and Self-cultivation, and the following subjects are listed. Under the door of the Ming Dao, there are three subjects: Ming Jing, Ming Law, and Ming Calculation. The Ming Classics Department is headed by Daomen morality and Nanhua classics, followed by Confucianism and Mofa. The Ming Law is the art of peace, punishment, and military learning, while the Ming Calculation only studies the way of calculation, which is the basis for deducing the principles of heaven and man. ”

Wu Bingjian listened to the way of counting, he was born in a businessman, and he didn't dare to say anything else, but the word "counting" still came to him, and his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.

Long Tinghuai listened, but shook his head and said: "Qinggeng Academy is the one who established it, and it is natural for the Taoist Sect to despise Confucianism, but he has never abandoned the righteousness of the ancestors. However, the art of military science is the skill of slaying dragons and the study of emperors, so how can it be taught to others as indiscriminately? This matter is not appropriate, and it has been done poorly. ”

Shaking his head, he said again, "What about the Gewu Gate?"

Liang Airu replied: "There are five subjects of astronomy, geography, biology, chemistry and physics, which emphasize the movement of celestial bodies, the trend of the earth's leylines, and the theory of changes in all things. ”

Long Tinghuai didn't know what the "art of metallurgy" was talking about, but he just shook his head and said: "The matter of astronomy is the most taboo of the people, and since the two Han Dynasty, how many big prisons have been caused by the Wei Diagram alone? If this kind of knowledge is spread again, the ignorant people in the world can know it by using the diagram to make chaos! Geography is worthy of public opinion, and under the pretense of longevity and profit, the relocation of the graves of the yin house and the reconstruction of the yang house, it is not a small evil, what is the benefit of learning? As for metallurgy and the like, it is just a small technique such as smelting lead and mercury, shrinking tin into silver, and turning stone into gold at the end of Taoism, and it is even more unsuitable for scholars to learn!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "These miscellaneous studies are really not beneficial to the hearts of the world's Taoists, but it's a pity that that one is from the Tao, and he was confused by these side-door and left-handed learnings and heresies. ”

Liang Airu listened, shook his head, knowing that this one was all mistaken, he had an argument with Long Tinghuai just now, and now he still has no anger, and he doesn't bother to correct it, but he continued: "In the future, after the imperial examination, the township will no longer take the examination to promote people, but to get an official license, first for the second official, accumulate merit and promotion, and then participate in the lock hall examination, and then take the entrance examination, and then take the Jinshi examination in the future!"

When these words were spoken, Long Tinghuai's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Is this true?!"

"It's true!"

Unexpectedly, Liang Ai replied like this, but Long Tinghuai stomped his foot suddenly: "Let my generation of scholars be cheap servants and go to be officials?
