After a while, Zhang Zhiling slowly spoke: "——Do you know that I clearly have very different political views from Emperor Qin, so I still want to join Qin?"
Jiang Fan said directly: "You always want to see it."
Zhang Zhiling said: "Clever. I just want to see which one is right or wrong, the way of the king or the way of the hegemon."
Jiang Fan shook his head: "Master, please forgive me for speaking frankly. There is no right or wrong. Kings are domineering and vary from time to time. In today's world, one should use hegemonic methods and try to understand the king's mind. The world has always been about conquest, not persuasion. Master, you have always understood that you just cannot bear the suffering of the common people. But the pain of a moment is better than the pain of a lifetime, do you think so?"
Zhang Zhiling looked at him calmly: "Are you saying that you agree with a large-scale use of weapons?"
Jiang Fan knew that this was Zhang Zhiling's test, and it was also what the old man wanted to understand about himself.
"No. Like you, my disciple hopes for a peaceful transition, but this is unrealistic. Therefore, my disciple hopes to make this process faster and less bloody."
"I'm just afraid that God won't follow your wishes."
Jiang Fan said seriously: "My disciple believes that human beings are born on a journey against heaven. In order to survive, people eat and drink water, treat diseases and wounds, dress and stay warm, and practice martial arts and spears. They are all fighting for life with God and all living things.
This word of struggle has lasted throughout the ages of the human race. It is precisely because of struggle that progress has been made. Throughout the history books, although there are literary talents, it is shown between the lines that war is the ladder of human progress. Although this statement is a bit extreme, it is also an undeniable fact.
In Tu'er's view, this is caused by the irreconcilable contradiction between productivity and production relations.
Therefore, war is inevitable and may last forever. Throughout history, dynasties have changed and the fittest have survived. When a dynasty or a system reaches a bottleneck, it will inevitably limit the development of productivity and be replaced by new production relations. Then it will be overthrown. This is a cycle and it is indisputable. fact. And what I want to do is reduce the damage of war and try to extend the cycle of peace..."
Jiang Fan spoke eloquently, and Zhang Zhiling became more and more frightened as he listened.
These theories were quite groundbreaking, and Zhang Zhiling was horrified. Many of them he had never heard of, such as productivity and production relations. He asked, and Jiang Fan patiently explained.
As Jiang Fan slowly unfolded his narration, those novel theories and outstanding insights struck his heart like bright electric lights. Zhang Zhiling unconsciously felt like he could see the sun through the clouds.
This was a long story that lasted all night.
When the white fish belly appeared in the east, Zhang Zhiling finally woke up from his closed eyes and meditation.
The eyes that looked at Jiang Fan were filled with infinite appreciation and admiration.
This boy's knowledge is beyond that of anyone he has ever met. The far-reaching intention is unparalleled. Talented and knowledgeable can be described as penetrating the heavens and the earth.
And most importantly, Zhang Zaifu believes that only this son can make the world sober!
When Jiang Fan started with the contradiction between productivity and production relations and analyzed the development path of the world in a simple and profound way, Zhang Zhiling even felt a sense of enlightenment and enlightenment. It seems that everything in the world has found its context.
The so-called hundreds of schools of thought and political opinions are just minor details in the face of this grand main line of the human world.
I really don’t understand how he, a mere young man, can integrate thousands of years and the long river of history to condense such a theory that is almost a great idea.
People who can do this are undoubtedly of great ability, but once such people are biased, they are thousands of times more terrifying than all the people in the world.
Fortunately, what makes Zhang Zhiling happy is that this man is not a cruel or extreme person. On the contrary, he is kind-hearted. However, he has seen through the development of all things and knows that certain laws are inevitable, so he has to go against his own temperament. Do something you don't like.
Could such a person be his disciple?
Zhang Zhiling feels a bit dreamy and unreal.
Before, he only had some thoughts and didn't really think that he wanted to accept this apprentice, but now he feels that he is a little afraid to accept him.
"Lao Yan is right...you can be the world's teacher!"
In the end, Zhang Zhiling gave the highest evaluation.
Jiang Fan was ashamed. He was just a little ant standing on the shoulders of giants because he had thousands of years of knowledge and cultural accumulation in his previous life. How could he dare to be evaluated like this?
I could only smile humbly: "Disciple just summed up some rules, but everything depends on man-made things. In this troubled world, it cannot be achieved by understanding some principles. We also need people like the master to participate in it and shape history."
Zhang Zhiling nodded approvingly: "...Now I finally understand why the Holy Land is so afraid of you. Even I feel ashamed."
Jiang Fan said: "Actually, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with the Holy Land. It is just that it is based on this era and has a limited vision. The so-called not knowing the true face of Mount Lu is just because I am in this mountain."
Zhang Zhiling's eyes lit up: "You don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because you are in this mountain. Apart from anything else, your poetry is truly unparalleled. I am a teacher far away in Qingjiang Town, and I also collected your collection of Mortals and Three Kingdoms. .”
Jiang Fan scratched his head in embarrassment. This was the last thing he wanted to say. He felt guilty every time.
"It is the most difficult to break the cognitive barrier. Many times it is almost impossible at certain times. To be honest, master, you can recognize the disciple's partial knowledge. The disciple is already very happy."
Zhang Zhiling laughed and said: "Boy, in terms of knowledge, I am not a professor. You are not a teacher for the sake of knowledge."
Jiang Fan quickly waved his hand: "Of course it's for knowledge. If you don't experience the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, how can you condense and summarize the laws of all things. But..."
He was a little embarrassed and said: "But the boy also has selfish motives..."
Zhang Zhiling said with satisfaction: "I just like the way you are. If you have selfish motives, you have selfish motives. As long as your words and deeds are consistent, your selfishness is beyond question. I will make it come true."
Jiang Fan's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Master."
Zhang Zhiling said with emotion: "You kid, how many masters have you deceived?"
Jiang Fan laughed dryly: "That, no, haha...haha..."
Zhang Zhiling was not unhappy at all, but said: "As you said, the leaders of hundreds of families can become one family. Boy, please lie to the master more. The master not only has knowledge, but also background. In this world, to realize what you want Grand ideals cannot be achieved by yourself."
Jiang Fan suddenly admired Zhang Zhiling's broadmindedness.
"Then...have you really agreed to accept me as your disciple this time?"
Zhang Zhiling laughed loudly: "I'm sure if I'm willing to come. Not only have I heard a little bit about your kid, but there are other things behind his back. I will naturally know about it in the future."
