Qingzhou City is Xiao Yihan's last stop, so the arrangements in Qingzhou City are naturally what everyone is curious about.
But Zhao Donglai kept it secret and didn't tell them.
"This is where?"
Zhao Donglai led them to a place that looked like a city lord's mansion. The mansion was decorated in the Jiangnan style of landscape gardens, with every flower, tree, mountain and water all carrying a tranquil and elegant atmosphere.
"Welcome to the urban management mansion in Qingzhou City. I am Ju Minjie, the person in charge here." A middle-aged man walked out of the inner house to greet them. He was dressed in linen and cotton clothes and looked like a low-key and respected figure in the world.
Zhao Donglai cupped his hands and said with a smile: "We are disturbing you again."
"Haha, you're welcome, we are all our own people." With that, Ju Minjie led everyone into the inner house, "It's just a coincidence for you that the recent pepper leaves are at their most tender and smooth. Our great scholar Li Chao from Qingzhou City I can’t help but come here and have a meal in the name of discussing knowledge. If you don’t mind, let’s come together!”
In the "small world", power and the strong are basically respected, and there are basically no powerful people. And the so-called responsible persons like Ju Minjie are actually responsible persons who mediate in the middle. Otherwise, how could they be called The city management's residence, not the city lord's residence.
Therefore, it is normal for some workers, peasants and business students to come to discuss with Ju Minjie.
There is no threshold to the urban management mansion, you can enter if you want.
It was lunchtime, and Ju Minjie led them into a lobby where there were five or six Eight Immortals tables filled with "delicious dishes", mainly vegetarian.
"Come on everyone, according to what our Li Chao said, we should eat and sleep without talking. Let's talk after eating."
During this period of time, the schedule was relatively tight, so when it came to eating, they just took care of things casually. It was rare to encounter a carefully prepared delicious meal, so everyone naturally started to eat freely.
The chili leaves introduced by Ju Minjie just now are indeed extraordinary. They are simply cooked in soup and have a tender, smooth and sweet taste. There is not a trace of stem left when biting into it, and it feels like it melts in your mouth.
Tender, smooth and sweet, even the soup is delicious.
For those who didn’t know, I thought chili leaves were also spicy, but I didn’t expect them to be so sweet.
There were other dishes on the table, all grown in "Small World". Xiao Yihan and the others had never eaten them before, and they were full of surprises when they ate them for the first time, making their index fingers twitch.
It feels like city people go to the countryside and eat vegetables freshly picked from the fields, freshly slaughtered chickens running around, fish raised in mountains and rivers, and even wild vegetables growing on their own in the soil. Suddenly they feel that these are the things they should do. The food was so fresh...it seemed as if the chicken feed that I ate in the city before was pig food!
Although there was no big fish or meat, everyone felt like they had tasted all the delicious food and felt full after this meal.
Even Zhao Lingji, who has always focused on controlling her body shape and diet, is the same. She placed her hands on her smooth belly and said, "Oh, this dish is so delicious. I feel like my belly is bulging."
Xiao Yihan, who was sitting next to her, did not answer. Song Hao, who was opposite her, smiled and said, "These pepper leaves are really good. I haven't eaten such delicious green vegetables for a long time."
After the meal, Ju Minjie took them to the living room to drink tea and eat.
"Everyone has been walking and watching during this period. Today I will introduce to you the situation in the 'small world'." After everyone sat down on the wooden chairs and tea was served on the small coffee table next to them, Ju Minjie started to explain to everyone.
"'Small World' has a total of twelve cities. Except for Darucheng, Sanshengcheng, and Mingyi City, which have not yet been completed, the other cities have been basically completed."
"In addition to the role of mediator, our urban management office also takes into account the management of food supply, land shops, resource ecology, law enforcement, civil affairs education, etc. It can be regarded as the role of urban management in a 'small world'!"
Xiao Yihan asked: "Do we still have schools here?"
Just as Ju Minjie said, if you have any questions, you can ask them at any time.
"Of course, some of our psychics have settled down here, got married and had children, and their children will naturally live here. So just like outside city management, we also have medical care, education, transportation and other things here, but they are relatively simple. That’s all.”
"Moreover……"
It turns out that "Small World" involves so much, including urban governance, humanities and customs, regulations...
Later, Li Chaosheng also helped make some supplements.
"Okay, I've basically finished what I want to introduce to you today."
Xiao Yihan raised his hand and asked: "Well, can I ask this teacher Li for some advice?"
Ju Minjie smiled and said, "Of course."
Professor Li Chao was also a little surprised. He had been concentrating on studying in Qingzhou City and his reputation was not well known outside. It seemed that this young man really wanted to find someone to ask for advice, or to find someone to clarify his doubts. Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "I wonder what this little friend wants to discuss with me?"
"Excuse me sir, what are your views on 'investigating things to gain knowledge'?"
Professor Li Chao was stunned for a moment, and then he clarified his thoughts and said: "'Studying things to achieve knowledge' is one of the basic theories of Confucianism. It comes from the opening chapter of "The Great Learning", "The Way of the Great Learning": In ancient times, the desire to understand and understand virtue came from Anyone in the world must first rule his country; if he wants to rule his country, he must first put his family in order; if he wants to rule his family, he must first cultivate his body; if he wants to cultivate his body, he must first rectify his mind; if he wants to rectify his mind, he must first be sincere. If you want to be sincere in your intention, you must first know it; to know it, you need to study things."
"Later generations referred to the "Eight Eyes" of Confucianism as the "Eight Eyes" of studying things, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world in "The Great Learning". This shows that Confucianism believes that the foundation of self-cultivation, governing the country, and pacifying the world lies in studying things and pacifying the world. To know.”
"Actually, the original meaning of 'investigating things to gain knowledge' is: only by being able to make choices according to the rules and knowing when to 'stop' pursuing things, can you gain inner peace and calm down to think about problems, thereby gaining knowledge and wisdom. Here 'Ge' means 'laws and standards', and 'Gewu' means 'limiting things in accordance with the rules'."
"It was only later that many Confucian scholars brought their own views into 'investigating things to achieve knowledge', thus forming various different philosophical theories."
"The most famous among them are Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty and Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty. They respectively interpreted the meaning of "investigating things to achieve knowledge" with their own philosophical viewpoints. As a result, there were two climaxes in the history of Chinese philosophy."
Xiao Yihan waited for Professor Li Chao to finish speaking before asking: "It's all mentioned in these books. Do you have any different opinions, or do you have your own interpretation?"
"That's a good question, young man. Let me tell you this, there are a thousand people who can 'investigate things to gain knowledge'. Only by forming your own 'investigating things to gain knowledge' is the way to create the true theory of Confucianism. And what you asked about, What is my 'investigation of things to gain knowledge'? What I can answer for you is my path of scholarship, writing my own way in the field where I have delved most deeply."
"It's like a 'craftsman' in the industrial field. After more than 10,000 hours of practice, he becomes a leader in a certain field. It's like a fitter who produces submarines. He can control the workpiece he polishes within a certain number of wires."
"This is the 10,000-hour rule. What makes a genius extraordinary in people's eyes is not his superior talent, but his continuous efforts. 10,000 hours of training is a necessary condition for anyone to transform from ordinary to extraordinary. "
"This is what I said, everyone has his own way of 'knowing things', and this is the 'Tao'."
"Everyone has his or her own way."
"What you learn from books is just knowledge. Only when you combine this knowledge with your own thoughts can it become your own 'Tao'."
Xiao Yihan meditated: Everyone has his own "Tao". Only by combining what he has learned, thought, imagined, gained and realized can he summarize the "Tao" that truly belongs to him.
The thinking trap that he had been trapped in before, at this moment, Xiao Yihan felt suddenly enlightened.
It's like reaching a new level.
Xiao Yihan stood up and bowed to Li Chaosheng: "Thank you, sir, for clarifying my doubts!"
"If you don't light the lamp, you won't be able to argue." Li Chaosheng also stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, I haven't finished my homework today. I'll see you again when I have the chance."
"A basket of food and a ladle of drink, in the back alleys, people can't bear the worries, but they won't change their happiness when they return."
With that said, Li Chaosheng walked out and continued his path of concentrating on his studies.
This is a true scholar.
"Hey, man, can we stop making this easy-going article look like an academic seminar?" Hu Jie complained after listening to the scriptures for a long time.
Xiao Yihan smiled and said: "Sorry!"
"Okay, everyone will stay here today. We will stay in Qingzhou City for the next two days and feel the humanistic spirit here." Zhao Donglai stopped trying to be pretentious, "Then it's time for us to return."
After walking through several cities in a hurry, we finally stopped. It was indeed an arrangement that allowed everyone to think deeply.
"Someone will take everyone to their respective rooms and take a rest first. Someone will call for dinner."
"Okay, let's do this for today."
The room is a single room similar to a B&B, with a slightly retro style.
They are all spiritual power users at the level of captain of the Zhenfu Division. Even if they bump around for two or three days, they will not feel tired like ordinary people. So Xu Tu went to the room to put down his things and came to find Xiao Yihan, preparing to go to Qingzhou City with him. Check out the masters here.
When he arrived, he found that Zhao Lingji was already one step ahead of him.
Xiao Yihan glanced at the two of them and said, "Why are you all looking for me?"
Zhao Lingji smiled softly and said, "I'm thinking of asking you to visit the schools in Qingzhou City to see if the education here is any different." Then she looked sideways at Xu Tu with her charming eyes and said, "Captain Xu, how about you Are you coming too?"
Xu Tu smiled awkwardly and said Cancan: "Forget it, I want to meet the masters of Qingzhou City. Since you are going to school, I'd better find someone else to go!"
Xu Tu still has this kind of eyesight.
Do you think Zhao Lingji, the former number one genius in the Western Township, sincerely invited Xu Tu?
Woman!
Xu Tu didn't expect that Zhao Lingji would actually go along with her and ask Xiao Yihan to visit the school.
Looking at the way Xiao Yihan was discussing knowledge with Professor Li Chao just now, Xiao Yihan is an out-and-out scholar.
This Brother Han is really a talent!
In other words, weird.
Today's young people, how can they have the thought and patience to concentrate on studying knowledge.
