Chapter 46: Miscellaneous Travels in Jiuzhou
This is indeed good news for Du Xuan. For Du Xuan, the more the better. Although he can't eat tens of thousands of people. It is still possible to increase the population of Fort Black Bear to 10,000 or even 20,000. After Du Xuan came to Black Bear Fort, Black Bear Fort had already harvested two seasons, and there was a lot of grain in stock, although it was a little difficult to feed tens of thousands of people, but it was barely enough to feed 20,000 people. After all, if these people come in time, they can also reclaim a large area of wasteland to plant a crop of Chiyang rice. Together with the stock of food, it should be enough to feed these people. Moreover, the Black Bear Tribe has reclaimed tens of thousands of acres of wasteland, and these barbarians are strong and strong, and they are even more powerful than the Daqi people. Once these lands are harvested, the Black Bear Tribe will not only not need food from the Black Bear Fort, but will also have a large surplus.
"When the messengers are rested, you can bring them to me. By the way, what about what my eldest brother brought me?" Du Xuan asked.
"It's in the study. Du Feng flipped through it a little and found that it seemed to be all books, so he put them directly in Du Xuan's study.
"Oh, what are they?" Du Xuan was still very interested in the eldest brother's gift.
"It's like it's all books. Du Feng said.
Du Xuan immediately became interested: "Take a look." ”
After Yao Zhengyuan rebelled, he fought several cities with the puppet emperor. These cities are different from places like Chiyangwei, they are not close to the border, and they are naturally much less affected by the war, so these cities are naturally much more prosperous than border guards like Chiyangwei. There will be some nobles and magnates in such a city, and naturally there will be some Confucian and Taoist celebrities.
Confucianism and Taoism celebrities have a transcendent status in Daqi, and Confucian and Taoist classics are also in the hands of these people.
But after the city was broken, the Lantian Puppet Emperor didn't care so much. Eryang's rebellion was originally a violation of traditional rules. Naturally, these nobles became the main targets of their attacks. Because the wealth is in the hands of these nobles, if you catch one or two nobles at random, you can squeeze out countless wealth, and all the bitterness of the whole city is squeezed out, and it is not as good as a nobleman. Eryang still wants these bitter haha to follow him.
Confucianism and Taoism celebrities are in some trouble, and Er Yang didn't want to offend. But these guys are above the top one by one, where will they put Er Yang, the rebel leader, in their eyes? Er Yang was angry, and directly put these Confucian and Taoist celebrities in prison, and went in to think about life. Think it out before you come out.
Yao Zhengyin is a rough person, so he naturally doesn't know how precious the Confucian and Taoist classics are in the hands of Confucian and Taoist celebrities. He only has gold, silver, treasures, and beauties in his eyes, but the sergeant next to him, Man Weicun, is more or less a cultured person. He understood the importance of these Confucian and Taoist texts. It's just that Sichuan is originally a poor place, and it is naturally an area where Confucianism and Taoism are extremely weak. In addition to the Sichuan Mansion, there are a few great Confucians, and in ordinary cities, it is rare to see a bachelor, and Xiucai is already a great existence. So in the end, among the classics in the hands of Manwei Village, most of them are some less important classics that have been copied.
But Du Xuan still felt that if he had obtained a treasure, Du Xuan had not been able to enter the circle of true Confucianism and Taoism before. Even such classics are rare for Du Xuan.
There are several ways for a Confucian student to obtain Haoran righteousness: the easiest is to obtain Haoran righteousness infusion from the book, and Confucian and Taoist masters above the great Confucian level can infuse Haoran righteousness into the book when copying the classics, and when reading, the reader can obtain Haoran righteousness infusion. But Haoran righteousness is also very precious to masters above Confucianism. Such texts would not have flowed out at all. The second way is also very simple, the Temple of Literature holds a ceremony, which can attract the righteousness of heaven and earth to infuse Confucianism. It's just that such an opportunity is rare, and it needs to be presided over by a master above the Great Confucian, and the opportunity is also rare. The most popular way is to resonate with heaven and earth by perceiving Confucianism and Taoism in the classics, so as to obtain the infusion of righteousness. Of course, there are also some geniuses who can comprehend Confucianism and Taoism on their own, create their own classics, and obtain the recognition and infusion of Haoran righteousness. Naturally, this kind of opportunity is hard to come by.
Du Xuan has been enlightened for so long, but he has not realized any truth, and if he wants to rely on his own understanding, the possibility is not great.
Although there is nothing extraordinary about these classics sent by the eldest brother, they are not the masterpieces of sages or great Confucianism, but only some basic Confucian works. But for Du Xuan, it was exactly what he needed. Because Du Xuan did not experience formal Confucianism and Taoism enlightenment education, these books were used for his Confucianism and Taoism enlightenment
Du Xuan is not without a little talent, otherwise he would not have been able to cultivate a wisp of pure righteousness just by reading some Confucian works that are not even considered enlightenment books. That's his talent. His heart is pure, he has no distracting thoughts, and his heart is much purer than that of thousands of Confucian students in Daqi. If he can carry out real Confucian cultivation as a famous family, Du Xuan is afraid that he will already be above a bachelor at this time. Of course, if it weren't for this, Du Xuan would not be in the situation he is in today. It's really a fate.
Don't think that anyone can use the art of visualization to integrate Confucianism and Taoism, let alone use Haoran righteousness to refine the body, and even cultivate the technique. Confucianism and Taoism look down on the world, regard magic as a small way, and regard martial artists as vulgar and reckless, how can they think of fusing Haoran's qi with magic and alchemy? Even if ordinary people have this plan, they must also have Haoran righteousness. Du Xuan is not an authentic Confucianist and Taoist person, but he can cultivate a heroic and righteous spirit, and he is bold and whimsical, and finally he can walk out of a completely new road from the Jiuzhou Continent.
Du Xuan flipped through the basic books and took out a book from them. This book is packed with salted animal skin, the paper in it is the best Huangling paper, Huangling paper is a specialty of Daqi, this paper is expensive, the manufacturing process is monopolized by Confucianism and Taoism, and the people who can afford this paper are all nobles. This kind of paper has a very valuable property, that is, adhesion, which can condense the righteousness of Confucianism. Books that are attached to Haoran righteousness have a very important characteristic, that is, they will not wear out, and they will automatically remove filth. The book looks as if it's still new, but in fact, it's possible that the book has been passed down for generations.
There were no traces left on the outer skin of the animal skin, and Du Xuan did not know the contents, and the title of the book could generally be seen by opening the animal skin. Du Xuan carefully opened the outer skin of the animal. Although this kind of Confucian and Taoist books are not easy to wear, Du Xuan is a book reader. The skin of the beast skin feels very good, soft, and there is no roughness at all.
The animal skin opened, revealing the title of the book: Miscellaneous Records of Travels in Jiuzhou.
