Sima Guang was certainly aware of Wang Anshi's sullen gaze, but with a calm personality, he continued to abide by the disciplines in the classroom and did not retaliate, but he was actually very unhappy in his heart.
And it wasn't just him who was unhappy, the other old masters were also very unhappy.
When Zhang Fei spoke about preaching before, they all agreed very much.
Yes.
You are right.
That's it.
Little did they know that in the end Zhang Fei came back with a counterattack, directly attacking the most important Confucian belief in politics.
keep.
The dead are the greatest, but the present era is always the most desirable.
This is completely opposite to the Legalist pursuit of development.
It is also a battlefield where the two are in close combat.
Often when there is a reform, Legalism will return to the court, and then it will be sprayed back with Confucian clichés.
If you want to reform, you must use Legalist methods, but Legalism has too many problems of its own, and Confucianism can attack them from a different angle.
Wang Anshi is facing this situation now.
However, Zhang Fei's words aroused the interest of the students.
Wang Anshi's reform is the hottest topic right now.
Before the legal system came out, they were discussing this matter every day.
Shangguan Jun directly retorted: "The way to govern a country lies in seeking truth from facts. Everyone hopes that the people will not be taxed and the state will be spared. I believe that Bachelor Sima is also very happy to see it. But the fact is that the goods and wealth produced by the heaven and earth can only be this amount. , not among the people, but in the public domain. Take the equal loss method as an example, isn't the essence of the state invading the interests of merchants? What is the difference between this and what Shang Yang and Han Feizi did, which was just farmers turning into merchants? "
These words immediately received support from many people present.
Cai Bian frowned: "That's wrong. The balanced method is to prescribe the right medicine. It is intended to save the country's losses and improve the finances. At the same time, it also cracks down on those profiteers who hoard goods. It kills two birds with one stone. What's the mistake?"
Shangguan Jun smiled disdainfully: "This is just a trick commonly used by the Legalists. Shang Yang said the same thing back then. It was intended to attack the nobles, obtain the fields, and use them to reward the soldiers. But what is the final result? The teacher just made it very clear. , and in the end, the people have to bear the burden double. If this country does what profiteers do, is it not a crime?"
Cai Bian chuckled and said: "In the world of Bachelor Sima, there is only this amount of goods and wealth. It is not among the people, but in the public family. But if the public family only refers to the official family, it is really biased!"
When they were young and frivolous, they could not care so much.
But the white heads behind me were sweating profusely. Do you guys know what you are talking about?
Shangguan Jun said: "It seems that you don't understand clearly. The original policy of Sima Xuesheng was in the same vein as Duke Fan, which was to streamline officials and reduce the expenditure of the court. Does this only refer to the official family?
Ordinary people know that if a family encounters financial difficulties, they must live frugally. Don't they want to make more money? Of course they want to, but they just can’t make it! "
"I am not sure?"
Cai Bian hummed: "I know very well what the outcome of the Qingli New Deal was. Knowing that it would fail, why did the officials repeat the same mistakes? Naturally, they had to choose another path.
As for the people, I do not deny that most people will choose to live frugally when they encounter financial difficulties. But if you only adhere to this belief, you will only become poorer. On the contrary, some poor people will become poorer when they encounter difficulties. , through their own struggle and hard work, they lived a better life. If you can't make money, no matter how much you save, it won't help. "
Cai Jing, who was next to him, heard their argument becoming more and more explicit. At the same time, he felt a chill coming from behind. Forget it if it was someone else. The key is that this is his biological brother, and he will definitely be implicated.
At the same time, the culprit was drinking water and watching them kill each other with ease.
no!
Cai Jing suddenly asked Zhang Feiyan: "Teacher, what do you think?"
Cai Bian and Shangguan both realized at the same time why we were killing each other again.
The two immediately looked at each other in tacit understanding, OK, we will discuss it later, but now we will talk to the outside world in unison.
Everyone looked at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei blinked, as if he hadn't reacted yet. After a while, he said: "Well, I think what they said is very reasonable, and I have benefited a lot. As the saying goes, if three people are together, there must be someone who can teach me." .”
Do you want to get away with it like this? Cai Jing was puzzled and said: "But the teacher just now clearly supports Wang Xueshi's idea that the people should not increase taxes and the country should use raos."
Zhang Fei said quickly: "I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."
When Cai Bian heard this, he felt ashamed. Maybe this guy thought that I had hurt you, so he changed his mind, but I didn't lose the argument just now.
Ye Zuqia said: "That's what Teacher Cai said just now, but we all heard it."
All the students nodded.
"Look at it, you literati...!"
Um?
Everyone looked at him.
Who is sitting here is not a scholar?
Not you kid.
This is the Imperial College, not the Third Yamen. What do you want to do?
Zhang Fei also realized that he had made a mistake, and quickly changed his words: "You people like to take quotes out of context. I said that those who enrich their families will benefit the country, and those who want to enrich their country will benefit the world. If you want to enrich the world, you will benefit the world." But does this mean that I support Academician Wang’s idea that the people should not pay taxes but the country should use spares?”
"Isn't it?
"Yeah?"
"of course."
"Nonsense."
Zhang Fei glared and said, "Is this what I mean? This is just an example. My focus is that officials want to work hard to govern, to make the country strong and the people rich, and to make progress. Is this wrong?"
"But.."
"No, answer me first, is this wrong?"
"That being said, it's not. That's right."
"Isn't this the end?"
Zhang Fei spread his hands and said: "If you can't do it, that's just your personal problem. You can't think that others are as stupid as you and can't do it.
Before the reform, Qin Xiaogong's demands were also very excessive. He had just been beaten by Wei and almost destroyed the country, and he still demanded to win Wei. Isn't this crazy? But Shang Yang gave the answer.
Later, the Qin Dynasty fell and the Han Dynasty was established. There were ruins everywhere and people who were crying for food. The requirements put forward by the emperor of the Han Dynasty were also very excessive. While inheriting the Qin system, we could not follow the old path of the Qin State.
This is really difficult, but Xiao He gave the answer, and later used Laozi's rule of inaction, and then came the rule of Wen and Jing. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the throne. He was not satisfied with being a rich man. He didn't want to be beaten all the time, but how could this be possible? But Wei Qinghuo Qubing beat Monan to the point where there was no royal court.
Then Taizong of the Tang Dynasty went even further. This man was simply greedy and extremely shameless. He wanted to have both the martial arts of Emperor Qin and Han Dynasty, and the civil governance of Emperors Wen and Jing. This is no better than the scholar Wang and the people, who did not give them any gifts and the country used them for free. , is it ten thousand times more difficult?
However, Fang Xuanling said it was okay, Changsun Wuji said it was okay, Du Ruhui said it was okay, Wei Zheng said it was okay, Li Jing said it was okay, Li Ji said it was okay, and Ma Zhou said it was okay. What's even more depressing is that even Queen Changsun said it was okay.
But when it comes to our official family, we end up with a group of people like you. You want to win the battle, but no, you have no money. You want to make some money, no, you can hide the wealth among the people, but the problem is that the people's lives are no better than those of the Tang Dynasty. The people are good.
In the end, the battles were not won and the money was not earned. So the question is, what do you want to do as officials? Make a fortune and keep a concubine? "
quiet!
After this rant, there was a deathly silence inside and outside the classroom.
Zhao Xu was the only one who enjoyed listening to it. This was definitely the most enjoyable lesson he had ever received in his life. It was such a late encounter.
At the same time, many people are ashamed and ashamed.
I really can't take this class anymore.
It’s really heartbreaking!
But they didn't dare to say, that's Li Shimin over there and Zhao Xu here, can it be the same?
The emperor is the boss.
Haven't you heard of the principle of "a raging army, a raging general in a nest"?
Cai Jing suddenly said with a naive expression: "Teacher, we are still students."
Are you Cai Jing pretending to be stupid in front of me? Save your money. Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "So what?"
Cai Jing said: "I can't do it now, so we come to class and hope that the teacher will teach us how to govern the country."
The eyes of the other students suddenly lit up, and they couldn't help but secretly give Cai Jing a thumbs up. They immediately raised their hands to Zhang Fei and asked about the way to govern the country.
This may seem respectful, but it actually means, go ahead!
Those old masters are also looking at Zhang Fei, you just complained very happily, come on, let us listen to your opinions.
"Well, what I want to express is that nothing is difficult in this world, as long as there are people who are willing. I don't know whether Bachelor Wang will succeed, but you don't even dare to think about it. It is definitely impossible. This road is made by people. , you must move towards this goal and cannot be content with the status quo."
"Please forgive the students for being stupid and not knowing where the road is. I hope the teacher can point the way for the students."
"I hope teachers can point the way for students."
one student said in unison.
Zhang Fei said excitedly: "Damn! I'm not taking part in the imperial examination, I'm just an Erbi, do you have the nerve to ask me?"
Ye Zuqia said: "Teacher is also an official now, but we are not yet."
"From the ninth grade?"
"That's an official too."
"I was also moved by the sincerity of Bachelor Sima. I came here to be an assistant, and I'm teaching you law, not the way of governing the country."
"I remember the teacher said that legal studies are also the way to govern the country."
".You remember it wrong?"
"Students dare not forget what the teacher said."
I believe you are evil!
Zhang Fei glanced out the window and saw an idiot holding up a gong and drum, but he didn't even beat it. "Well, let me make it clear first. If I have a way, then I will become a political advisor and will not teach here. As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not be in charge.
But as your teacher, I also have the obligation to teach you what to do when you face difficulties. Let's analyze it together. Anyway, we all share the blame. Oh no, our responsibility now is not to solve this problem anyway. , but to learn how to face this problem, and everyone should not put too much pressure on themselves. "
