Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1267
After kicking Fang Jun twice, Wei Zheng restrained his anger a little bit.

This kid is really wicked!
How can you come up with such nasty rhetoric and disgusting people?

Satisfied, he picked another cucumber and washed it, and chewed it, but he felt that what Fang Jun said might not be an exaggeration, the shape of this yellow light...it is really easy to use.

A cucumber was eaten up again after a while, but the roots were still eaten clean, and he never wasted any edible food.

Then he pointed to the cucumbers on the shelf unceremoniously and said: "Pick a thirty to fifty catties and send it back to the old man's house."

Fang Jun gritted his teeth, wondering: "This...Your old Mingjian, these cucumbers are used to save seeds. Only when there are many seeds, can this delicious vegetable appear on the dining table of Guanzhong people at this time next year. So... ten catties is okay?"

Wei Zheng shook his head: "Since the seeds are saved, the two just now shouldn't be eaten. Forget it, just pretend that the old man didn't say anything."

Fang Jun quickly thanked him.

But Wei Zheng turned around, stared at Fang Jun again and said, "It's noon, why don't you see someone serving dinner?"

Fang Jun was speechless.

Didn't you just eat two cucumbers?Not full?
I had to tell my servants to prepare meals quickly.

Wei Zheng stopped talking to Fang Jun, and wandered around in the greenhouse with his hands behind his back, looking at this and that, full of interest.

Fang Jun stayed behind, explaining one or two from time to time.

The servant came to say that lunch was ready, Fang Jun invited Wei Zheng to eat in the front room, but Wei Zheng shook his head, pointing to a well platform made of bluestone under the cucumber rack in the warm shed: "Just use it here. Let’s eat, the environment is good, so you don’t have to pay attention to so many rules.”

Fang Jun had no choice but to order his servants to bring the food.

Four dishes and one soup, full of color, fragrance and flavor, without delicacies from mountains and seas, but superior in delicacy.Wei Zheng was very satisfied, he sat down with a golden knife, picked up the chopsticks and asked the servant to serve the rice, and just sat under the cucumber stand and started to eat.

Fang Jun accompanied the meal, and said apologetically, "It's a little easier to stay here without the need for the city. I hope you will be happy."

If anyone could invite Wei Zheng to have a meal, even the eldest grandson's family would have to treat him solemnly, at least they would have a big table full of delicacies from mountains and seas, and even the elders of the family would have to accompany him to drink.

Wei Zheng, such a stinky and tough straight minister, whose house did he go to eat?

It's good now, just pick a few side dishes in the greenhouse, put them in an iron pan, stir fry a few times, and serve them up...

Wei Zheng shook his head, ate the food, and said vaguely: "It's very good, the old man's family can't compare to such abundance. Besides, the cooking method originated from your Fang family. Looking at Guanzhong, your family's cooking is the most authentic. "

Fang Jun knew that Wei Zheng was not being modest, his family was really poor.It's not like Hai Rui is so poor that he can't afford meat, but compared to most officials in this era, they live in poverty.

This person is a dead-headed person, and all sources of money come from salary.

There is a saying in later generations that an official who relies on his salary to live is simply the most failed official...

But Fang Jun looked at Wei Zheng in front of him, and felt that this sentence was really ironic.

If every official lived on his salary, the common people would be the happiest...

Wei Zheng ate quickly and didn't talk much, he ate the two dishes in front of him cleanly, even poured the soup into the rice bowl and mixed it, and ate it cleanly.

Putting down the rice bowl, burping, holding the freshly brewed hot tea handed over by the servant beside him, with a satisfied expression on his face: "I will send the cook to your home later, and let your cook help with training and training. This The kung fu that reveals the true taste in the blandness is just considered the top cook."

Fang Jun naturally had no objection.

Sipping hot tea, Wei Zheng asked, "What do you mean by the Han people's superiority just now?"

Fang Jun also picked up a cup of tea, and pointed to his head: "How to make full use of strengths and avoid weaknesses, and subvert the barbarians at a very small cost is what you central bosses should think about. Don't always fight and kill, use us more The wisdom and wisdom left by our ancestors is worth a thousand pounds. Even in a face-to-face hard battle, you should use firearms as a weapon with great advantages. You big brothers must keep pace with the times. Today’s Tang Dynasty is changing with each passing day. How can you still defend yourself? How about sticking to the previous set?"

Regarding Fang Jun's remarks, Wei Zheng scoffed: "At such a young age, Mao dares to speak out about the strategy of the center? It's simply beyond his control!"

Fang Jun was annoyed: "What's wrong with being young? Gan Luo is twelve ministers, we are much older than Gan Luo, why can't we talk about the center?"

Wei Zheng looked contemptuous: "That's why you have no birth in school. It is true that Gan Luo was granted the title of Shangqing because of his envoy to Zhao, but this Shangqing is just a title. He is famous but has no power. During the Warring States period, the prime minister must have a superior. The status of Qing, but definitely not every Shangqing has the power of prime minister. Gan Luo was famous for a while, but after he was named Shangqing, there is no historical record, which shows that his background is shallow and gradually disappears from everyone. "

Fang Jun opened his mouth, speechless.

He only knows that countless people throughout the ages have used the "Twelve Aspects of Ganluo" to encourage the backward, but he never knew that after Ganluo worshiped the prime minister, everyone disappeared, and there is no record in the history...

Compared to Wei Zheng's erudition, Fang Jun, the traveler, is almost illiterate.

Wei Zheng sat on the well platform, sipping tea, with a cucumber rack above his head, very leisurely.

"I heard that you teach children to farm in the school?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"It's not just a problem? It's a big problem! Where is the school? It's a place where you can read the Four Books and Five Classics to understand the meaning of the words. How can you teach the students such vulgar knowledge as farming?" Wei Zheng blew his beard and stared, very dissatisfied.

Fang Junqi said: "How did farming become a vulgar knowledge? Besides, a certain school has always believed that a school is a place where knowledge is taught. , even playing silk and bamboo is knowledge, so is farming not knowledge?"

Wei Zheng said angrily: "When did the old man say that farming is not knowledge? It's just such a simple technique of farming, why teach it in the school? Adhere to the season, plant in spring and harvest in autumn, that's all. There is plenty of grain, but natural disasters, droughts and floods lead to poor harvests, what is there to teach?"

Fang Jun knew for the first time that farming is such a simple matter...

He was surprised and asked: "Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, that's all? Hehe, then I want to ask Zheng Guogong, why does this farm produce more than [-]% more wheat or rice than other farms?"

Wei Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered Fang Jun's work on raising seedlings, which greatly increased the grain production.

But is this considered knowledge?

In his eyes, only the books of the sages can be learned, and the rest, whether they are farming or smelting iron, are just trails. How can such a sacred place as a school be used to teach these trails?

Wei Zheng said angrily: "Even if everyone in the world can learn to farm, so what? Even if there is too much food to eat, and no one will starve to death in the world, I will feel relieved, but compared to the way of a sage and the way of governing the country Learning, what is it?"

There's no way to reason with this old stubborn...

Fang Jun changed the topic and said: "There are more than fifty students in the school of the Fang family. Among these people, only a very small number of them show the talent for reading, and they can enter the imperial examination and become officials. What about the others? What should people do? There is no chance to be an official, and even teachers are not qualified. It is more useful for them to learn how to farm well. The warehouse is full of etiquette. Only when all industries in the world are prosperous can more and more people enter The school learns the way of a sage and speaks with great righteousness. If all the scholars in the world become scholars who are devoted to studying Confucius and Mencius, that would be the tragedy of the empire!"

Everything is inferior, only reading is high!
This is a good thing, which has greatly improved the literacy rate of the people.

But what about the result?
The result is that in the eyes of the world, only the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, only the Four Books and Five Classics, are not popular at all, and are useless!
According to the development of Wei Zheng's thinking, sooner or later there will still be the absurd scene of "one Analects governing the world".

Kong Sheng is a sage through the ages, no one can refute this, and even cannot be refuted.

The profound meaning of Confucianism has influenced this nation for thousands of years, and the essence of it has become the way of survival of this nation, which has been inherited and carried forward from generation to generation.

It can be said that the thought of Confucius is the soul of this nation!
However, applying Kong Sheng’s theories mechanically and universally applies, that is the way to death...
