Today's lecture was over, Feng Yun waved his hand.
When those who listen to the lesson stand up, they all perform the disciple's salute and bow to him as in the past.
However, those who came to see the excitement had funny postures and did not take this gift seriously, but just followed everyone to have fun.
After the ceremony was over, Guan Zhong stepped forward and saluted again: "Master gave lectures, and Guan Zhong learned a lot."
"I don't know my honorable name, Master, I am Guan Zhong, Guan Yiwu, Master can be called Yu Guan Yiwu."
Guan Zhong, Zhong is the courtesy name, and Yiwu is the given name. In the Zhou Dynasty, after taking the courtesy name, he was called by the courtesy name outside, but the first name was the title of the people close to him.
"Feng family, Yun."
After hearing this, Guan Zhong remembered that Feng Yun was young and had not yet reached the crown, but he made a big blush.
After Feng Yun told him his name, he slowly left. Feng Yun also gained something today and needs to go back and think carefully...
The heavy rain was coming, and the people who were listening were in a hurry and dispersed after a while.
"Guan Zhong, you don't really want to become an official, do you?" A traveling merchant with Guan Zhong came to Guan Zhong and asked.
Guan Zhong took out his bamboo slips and quickly recorded the conversation he had just had with Feng Yun on it.
"Of course I want to become an official, otherwise all I have learned will be in vain..."
Guan Zhong paused and then said: "Bao Shuya, you are the son of a doctor. You are a loss-making businessman doing business with me. It's me who has caused you trouble."
Saying that, he bowed.
"Hey, hey, don't be like this. We are friends, so why should we be like this? Besides, I don't want to be an official, so what about this doctor's son?"
Guan Zhong said: "You are talented and learned..."
Bao Shuya laughed, then asked: "Then where are you going?"
Guan Zhong knew that he could not persuade Bao Shuya for the time being, so he immediately said: "First, go travel around and find out what the people need, and then you can find a country to serve as an official."
Bao Shuya nodded.
"Then we will sell the goods cheaply in the court. Now that you have made your decision, don't hesitate."
"Uncle Zhong En's action..."
…
“When big countries fight, small countries suffer.”
Feng Yun was sitting in the house, with an open bamboo slip in front of him, thinking about what he had learned today.
He had learned about Yue's fortune-traveling platform earlier, but did not have enough information to take action. At this time, small countries were attacking Wu and Yue, but Feng Yun had an idea.
Although small countries are weak, they can become more numerous if they gather together. It is impossible for the Yue countries to be destroyed at the same time...
Nowadays, in small countries, everyone is in danger and paying tribute one after another, but it is an act without confidence.
If we can unite these small countries and implement a common strategy of advance and retreat, can we curb the invasion of big countries?
While thinking like this, the voice of guard Da Luo came from outside the door.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Sir, Uncle Zong, please go."
"Okay, I'll change into Xuan Duan."
Not long after, Feng Yun, dressed in Xuan Duan, walked into the Palace of Classics.
He was obviously going to go tomorrow, but Uncle Zong summoned him in advance.
When he came to the inner room, Feng Yun watched Uncle Zong sitting with his hands down and looking at the bamboo slips on the low table.
When Feng Yun got closer, he saw what was written on the bamboo slip was exactly what Feng Yun said to Guan Zhong today.
"Sit down." Feng Yun heard the voice and sat down.
"You, oh, you must have discovered a long time ago that I was the one behind it."
Uncle Zong admitted that he was the one who declared what Feng Yun said when he was giving lectures to Feng Yun, in order to increase Feng Yun's reputation.
"If you don't have the ability, this propaganda will be difficult for you, rather than beneficial."
"The ancient sage used fame as a courtier. Only in this way can you legitimately become a little Situ and be responsible for teaching. Only in this way can you suppress the voices in the court."
It's so cruel, it's like a test.
If Feng Yun is unable to withstand the pressure brought by fame, or becomes frivolous because of fame, it will bring disaster to him.
But Feng Yun saw clearly and stopped in time.
Feng Yun bowed.
"Uncle Zong's move is to pave the way for Yu, but Feng Yun's current knowledge cannot bear such a virtuous reputation."
Uncle Zong nodded slightly.
"It's not my idea, I don't have such thoughts."
"Before Dazai left, he arranged for me to let you have this training."
Dazai?
Really decisive and quick to act.
Uncle Zong did not talk much about this prestige, but said: "You said before that all the kings and subordinates are the people, and the common people can also be scholars... There is nothing wrong with this, but it is a great kindness."
The king is the king, and the uncle is also a person who respects the king. As for the common people as scholars, they must first show their abilities. Those who are capable can serve the country. This is to strengthen the power of the country, and it is natural.
"You talked about the country of Yue today, and you also talked about the country's pursuit of food?"
Ordinary people don't know about Yue's luck, but Uncle Zong and some people in the court know about it, so they all think that what Feng Yun said is likely to come true.
Uncle Zong admired Feng Yun, but also felt helpless.
"You don't trust your Majesty?" That's why you revealed it a little bit, so that the common people could have time to hide some food, so as to avoid a miserable end when the food was requisitioned?
Uncle Zong didn't say the next words, but Feng Yun heard it.
Feng Yun said: "It's not that I don't trust your Majesty, it's just that the ministers in the court deceived the new monarch, and the country wanted wealth. These people tried their best to persuade the emperor to make peace, which led to the monarch's misjudgment!"
Feng Yun still remembered that after the chief minister returned home and the news that the Yue Kingdom demanded tribute of treasures, it was reported that the sycophants were suing for peace in the court. Even Zongbo was angrily guarding the palace of classics and did not want to deal with the affairs of the court. It can be seen that when sycophants are in power, even great officials are helpless.
"Oh..." Uncle Zong remained calm and sighed secretly.
"You also have good intentions, don't worry, I will report this matter to you and make preparations."
Regardless of the matter, Uncle Zong asked: "Did you discuss with Yiyou today the inference after the country's disrespect?"
This is what Zongbo wanted to say, because in this discussion, Feng Yun's thoughts on rituals are still somewhat different, but they seem to be very consistent with the ritual system, and he also used the words of traveling merchants to praise Zhou rites. A gentleman's journey.
At least in the eyes of the outside world, this dialogue was to praise Zhou Li. As for the details, few people could see it.
Uncle Zong was one of them, so he discovered the difference in Feng Yun.
But compared to Feng Yun's difference, Zong Bo lamented the traveling merchant's thoughts even more.
"If that man doesn't die young, he will definitely have great achievements in the future."
Feng Yun nodded.
"His thoughts are very free and not bound by Zhou Li. But in this era, Zhou Li is the best system, which reduces disputes between countries and allows the common people to live in relative peace."
Uncle Zong nodded happily, he saw Feng Yun's growth.
"You have to think like this in the future. "Zhou Rites"... maybe it has shortcomings in your opinion, but in fact, I also think it has shortcomings..."
"The common people know the Rites of Zhou and are afraid of its punishment."
"The scholars knew the Zhou Rites and were afraid of being punished."
"The doctor knows the Rites of Zhou and is worried about his reward."
"The princes know the Rites of Zhou and are grateful for its gifts."
"The Emperor knows the Rites of Zhou and is in charge of his conduct."
"The common people are afraid of punishment and dare not violate the "Zhou Rites", thinking that the "Zhou Rites" lack forgiveness; but most of the common people are vulgar people and do not know etiquette. If they are not restrained by punishment and act recklessly, I am afraid it will be a great disaster for the country."
"Scholars are afraid of punishment, because if one generation makes mistakes, they will be deprived of their status as scholars, and they are afraid of falling into the land of common people. They think that the "Li" of Zhou lacks tolerance; but if there are capable scholars, why not go to the court to worship the prime minister? , How can an incompetent person stay in his position for a long time without the support of his ancestors?"
"The officials worry about state affairs, reward the people but worry about the country's food, reward the army but worry about the country's gold, reward gentry officials but worry about the survival of the country, think that the "Li" of Zhou lacks governance, which makes the officials exhausted, but if the "Li of Zhou" takes care of the overall situation, it must What use are we doctors?"
