Han Dao world

Chapter 747
Seeing these three young men, Liu Xie was in a good mood.

Sure enough, people of the same age can talk more easily, not so much polite and reserved, and straightforward.When he saw the right thing, he recommended himself directly, refusing to let go of an opportunity.

After seeing the ceremony, he sat down again, and Liu Xie put "Shuowen Jiezi" on the table.

"This is my meeting gift for you, but with all due respect, I don't recommend you to take the test of Confucian classics. The knowledge of votive offerings is naturally good, but it is not suitable for you."

"I dare to ask Your Majesty to explain in detail." Shi Yi said.

Liu Xie didn't explain directly, but looked at Lu Yi. "Since Boyan is from Jiangdong, he should know Yu Zhongxiang."

Lu Yi bowed and said, "Jun Yu is not only a famous Confucian in Kuaiji, but also a long history under General Sun's command. Although Yi is ignorant, he has heard of his name."

"Then do you know that he is currently offering wine in the lecture hall?"

"I heard." Lu Yi still looked calm.

Liu Xie secretly smiled.It seems that Lu Yi's hatred for Sun Ce was so deep that it even affected his attitude towards Yu Fan.Knowing that Yu Fan was serving as sacrificial wine in the lecture hall, he had no intention of going to pay a visit, and even felt a little respectful and far away.

This boy is more arrogant than he imagined.

"Then do you know what knowledge Yu Zhongxiang has been studying recently?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Lu Yi's eyes.He was not interested in what knowledge Yu Fan studied, but the emperor mentioned it so deliberately, obviously it was not just casually, and it was related to his not recommending them to take the exam that Fu Wan had.

Besides, although he didn't take Yu Fan's attitude of being attached to Sun Ce, he still knew how brilliant Yu Fan's knowledge was.Such a person turns to study a new knowledge, and this new knowledge must be extraordinary.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty for advice."

"Math."

"Anaithology?" Lu Yi was stunned, and Hu Zong and Shi Yi were also stunned.

Although arithmetic is not a knowledge that everyone can study, it is not considered a profound knowledge.As long as you want to learn, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is not difficult to get, especially those who study "Book of Changes", almost all of them also study arithmetic.

"Of course, the mathematics he studies is not as simple as the nine chapters, but absorbs some new mathematics from the Western Regions. I don't know exactly how. If you are interested, you can go to the lecture hall and listen to his personal explanation , perhaps more accurately."

Liu Xie took a sip of water, and said again: "If you can sum it up in one sentence, it would be that his arithmetic is not just an arithmetic that just sits and talks about the Tao, but an arithmetic that can apply what you have learned and seek the Tao."

The three of Hu Zong looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Anaithology can also seek the Tao?" Shi Yi couldn't help but said.

Liu Xie put down his cup and thought about it. "Let's take an example. People depend on food, and the amount of food is related to the land. Although wasteland is reclaimed every year, the number of reclaimed land is limited, and the growth of household registration is much faster. The difference between the two The difference in speed determines how many years later we will inevitably face a crisis. Bad governance will shorten this period, and good governance will delay this period, but it cannot be avoided.”

Liu Xie smiled. "Those who don't plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region. Those who don't plan for eternity are not enough to plan for a moment. I don't know this deadline, how can we seek long-term stability?"

"Your Majesty is saying... governing the country with mathematics can achieve long-term peace and stability?" Lu Yi's attitude was a little serious.

"Mathematics is just a tool." Liu Xie said word by word: "But it is an indispensable tool. Mathematics cannot govern the country, but it can make you pragmatic and truth-seeking instead of empty words. If you don't have this tool, no matter how good you are The idea is nothing more than building a tower on sand, of course."

Hu Zong nodded. "Your Majesty probably understands what His Majesty means. Your Majesty doesn't want me to talk about knowledge, but wants me to do some practical things."

Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction. "Wang Dao is done in a down-to-earth way, not boastful. It is better to stand up and practice than to sit down and discuss the Tao. And the Tao does not have to be in the bamboo slips, but between the heaven and the earth. Why bother to study the classics?"

"Your Majesty understands, and I wish to follow His Majesty's teaching." Hu Zong said.

Shi Yi followed suit and expressed her willingness to give up her studies.

Only Lu Yi remained silent and did not express his opinion immediately.

Liu Xie is not in a hurry.He summoned the world's sages to talk about Yu Taixue, just to promote this truth, let more scholars be pragmatic, and correct the previous pragmatic style of study.But this is definitely not something that he can solve with just a few words, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much effort.

Finding the truth in a debate must go through some twists and turns, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.

After talking about studying, Liu Xie asked about their experiences along the way.

When the three of them left Wu Jun, Wu Jun had basically left the state of war and started to resume production.Many people living in Jiangdong are planning to return home, such as Yi and Hu Zong, who just changed their direction when they came to Chang'an.

Lu Yi is somewhat different from them, he is visiting relatives.

His uncle Lu Jun is a man in Beijing.

As soon as Liu Xie heard it, it became clear why Lu Yi didn't express his position immediately.

He has doubts about the court.

Lu Jun is the eldest son of Lu Kang.After Lu Kang was captured by Sun Ce, Lu Kang returned to Wu County and died of illness within half a year.At that time, the imperial court was still in Chang'an. Feeling Lu Kang's loyalty, he worshiped Lu Jun as his man.

But Lu Jun's official career was not smooth. After so many years, he is still an ordinary official.

Faced with this reality, Lu Yi will inevitably have some ideas.

No matter how nicely he said it, Lu Jun was stagnant and unable to be promoted, but Yu Fan suddenly became a sacrificial wine in the martial arts hall.

In Confucianism, the imperial court's way of employing personnel is the root cause of chaos, or even the only factor.

Liu Xie didn't know why Lu Jun was still an ordinary official for so many years, but he believed that it was probably Lu Jun's own problem, rather than someone deliberately targeting him.

Since the Battle of Huayin, he has continuously introduced new measures. Most of the people who have some ability but are not willing to be mediocre can find a position that suits them.Or join the army to fight, but go to the local government as an official, no matter how bad it is, you can also go to the army to teach.

If he refuses to do these things, or fails to do so, it will be too difficult for him to get promoted, basically impossible.Wanting to get promoted based on seniority is not the mainstream way for Lang Guan to be promoted.

In the past, it was based on family background and connections, but now it depends on strength.

Therefore, Liu Xie felt that Lu Jun's delay in promotion should be mostly due to Lu Jun's own problems.

But he didn't say so.

It is better for Lu Yi to find out the answer by himself.

Finally, Liu Xie sent an invitation to them, hoping that they could take the exams of Langguan and Sanqi, enter the palace as Lang and Sanqi, or go to the lecture hall.

The three agreed.

They are all smart people, and it is natural to see that the emperor is very satisfied with them. The so-called examination is just a process, and there is basically no problem.

After talking freely, Liu Xie and Hu Zong left and returned to the bookstore.

He planned to have dinner at the bookstore and then return to the city.

"Kong Ming, what do you think of these three people?"

"It's all a temporary choice."

"Who do you like most?"

"Lu Yi."

"Why?"

"Tolerable, but not against the crowd."

Liu Xie turned to look at Zhuge Liang and laughed loudly.
