Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 387

Yao Qi was only an agent of the county magistrate of Panyu, so he was not qualified to meet with the state shepherd, but Lantian had no bureaucratic thinking, so in order to carry out his work in Panyu in the future, he received him warmly.

The moment he walked into the back hall of the main hall, Lan Tian suddenly frowned slightly, because Yao Qi was walking with a stranger, this kind of action of cutting first and playing later is a taboo in official circles in any age.

Lan Tian had already cultivated some cities, and he did not reprimand Yao Qi in a rude manner. When he first met Liu Xi, he felt a little familiar. After being introduced, he realized that he was a master of Confucian classics and exegesis in the late Han Dynasty. Generally speaking, he was a person who engaged in academic research. .

Lan Tian immediately became interested in Liu Xi, after all such pure intellectuals are very rare.

"Why did Mr. Cheng Guo come here?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

Liu Xi clasped his hands and saluted: "I was in Guangzhou in the third year of junior high school, and I was lucky enough to see the majesty's demeanor. I heard that you set up a Meng school in Cangwu, so I begged Yao Gong to lead the way to visit. Please forgive Yao county magistrate for being rude. "

Lan Tian chuckled: "I have heard of Mr. Jiu's name. It is a kind act for Mr. Yao to invite you to the door. What is the crime?"

Liu Xi nodded, "Your Majesty's heart is like the ocean, and he is magnanimous. If I have a question, please tell me the truth."

Lan Tian waved his hand: "Sir, please tell me."

Liu Xishuo must say: "Lao Tzu said: 'Those who are good in ancient times are not based on enlightening the people, but will be fooled. The people are difficult to govern, but they are wise. Therefore, the country is governed by wisdom, and the thief of the country is not governed by wisdom. , the blessing of the country.' Why did the government go against the way? Giving wisdom to the people like this is against the way of the sage."

Lan Tianxin said good guy, are you going to interview me?He smiled and asked back: "If Laozi's high theory is in line with the Dao of the world, why did he depose all schools of thought when he was Emperor Wu?"

Liu Xi was taken aback when he heard that, he didn't expect Lan Tian to be so powerful that he would turn against the general, but he was very knowledgeable, so he immediately caught the loophole in the other party's words and asked: "Confucianism was adopted by the emperor, but it was not advocated and returned. To be wise to the people, the Master said: "The people can be made to know, but not to be made to know."

Whether it is Laozi or Confucius, whether born or joined the WTO, there are arguments advocating the foolishness of the people, and Liu Xi returned the answer to Lantian with a backhand.

Lan Tian got up and said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng Guo wanders around, he is a wise man today, and the people in the world today have no wisdom, but is the world of the Han family prosperous and peaceful? If you don't avoid disasters, why are you living here in the Central Plains?"

"This is caused by treacherous ministers in power, caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, and has nothing to do with the theory of saints." Liu Xi argued.

Seeing them at the side, Yao Qi tried to persuade them several times, but found that he was not qualified.

Lan Tian continued to explain: "Although the sage's words are good, but when encountering treacherous officials and natural disasters, problems will arise. Should we reflect on it? The world I live in is changing with each passing day, and the strategy of fooling the people cannot always be practical."

Liu Xi cupped his hands and bowed: "Mr. Lanfu has said this, and he has done things that are wise to the people. Please give me your advice."

Lan Tian waved his hand: "It's not a good idea, but shepherding the people can't be conservative. If you have a good idea, you need to try your best. Even if you fail, it's better than standing still. I want to ask you a question."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"We now have food, clothing and housing. Are all the things in this world other than nature created by the people?"

Liu Xi didn't know what Lan Tian wanted to say, but there was nothing wrong with thinking about it, so he nodded slightly to express his affirmation.

Lan Tian continued: "Then do you think smart people create more, or stupid people create more?"

"Not everyone in the world has the virtue of a gentleman. A gentleman cherishes virtue and a villain cherishes the land. A gentleman educates all people with wisdom, and the people will prosper if they follow him. This is a sophistry of the government. If the common people enlighten wisdom but cannot restrain it, wouldn't the world be in chaos?" Liu Xi frowned and shook his head.

Lan Tian saw Liu Xi's eloquence in citing the scriptures, and he refuted it without thinking too much: "What is the use of people's wisdom if it is not enlightened? Confucians in the world think that reading makes them wise, but there are many mediocre people. Zhigao, born with wisdom and destiny, if you worry about opening up the wisdom of the people, the country will be uneasy, it is just that the superiors are lazy in governing.

Common people enlighten wisdom, officials need to be more intelligent, otherwise they should follow: "The capable go up, the mediocre let go, and the mediocre go down." If both sides are stagnant at the same time, once natural disasters and man-made disasters are encountered, the world will be chaotic. Do you still think I am quibbling? "

"Your Fu is quick in thinking and outstanding in eloquence, I can't match it." After listening to Liu Xi, he was shocked, and it was really difficult for him to find a reason to refute. After all, Lan Tian's thinking was too wide, and he really couldn't find a point of focus.

Lan Tian shook his head: "Facts speak louder than words, sir should remember a word."

"My lord, please tell me." Liu Xi now sincerely admires Lan Tian.

"Princes and generals, would you rather have a seed? In other words, 'the right to study, would you rather have a seed?'" Lan Tian replied sonorously.

Liu Xi's heart trembled when he heard this. He finally knew that Lan Tian's ideals were so big that he wanted to challenge the current family politics. It is in the remote and remote Jiaozhou. If it is in the Central Plains, grass may grow on the graves.

"The general's ambition, Xie knows it, but the road is full of thorns, I wish the lord can get what he wants, but it may not be able to change the general situation of the world just by reading books, but it is just to cultivate some humble officials for you, what is real wisdom? I can get it in three or two years." Liu Xi first affirmed and then shook his head. Although he admired Lan Tian's courage, he still took it for granted.

Lan Tian said with a serious face: "The so-called step-by-step, first let a group of people learn to read and write, and then choose the best to continue learning. Repeated screening can select all kinds of talents. As long as there are enough talents, it may not be impossible to change the pattern of the aristocratic family. To be able to open an upward channel for poor families and ordinary people is equivalent to spreading hope in the world."

"Sir, you still have a second hand? Well, well, the old man is getting more and more interested, can you explain to me?" Liu Xi suddenly smiled gratifiedly.

"Guangzhou City will build an academy, and those who perform well in the Mongolian school can go to further studies. The academy will teach more sage books, laws, mathematics, national languages, etc., and select talents for the government in a targeted manner. After completing the academy, you can pass If you pass the exam and become an official, you can continue to study academics, just like Mr. Cheng Guo." Lan Tian explained.

Liu Xi murmured: "Academy. It's really a good place."

Seeing this, Lan Tian stepped forward and held Liu Xi's hand: "The reason why the Academy has been hesitant to set up is that the great sage of Kuwu is sitting in charge for me. If you can help me, sir, it will be of great help."

Liu Xi hurriedly waved his hand and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Fu, but my knowledge is limited, and I am afraid that I will lose the general's favor. You should ask someone else to be wise."
