I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 380 Detailed Explanation of the Book of Poems
Song Mu communicated with several people for a long time, and Tan Weiyi stayed with Song Mu for lunch at noon. The conversation was very pleasant, and it was not until the afternoon that each of them said goodbye with satisfaction.

Song Mu also felt that this trip was worthwhile. Tan Weiyi and the others are actually a microcosm of the students who are going to take the exam. Talking with them, whether it is the situation of the exam or the problem-solving strategies of previous years, has gained a lot.

After Song Mu came out of the pool house, he immediately headed towards the guild hall.

Back at the guild hall, Song Mu had just stepped into the room, and Tao Fengming was sitting in the room reading a book, when he saw Song Mu push the door in, he immediately waved to Song Mu.

Song Mu quickly put down the things in his hand and walked over, while Tao Fengming turned over the page in his hand and said to Song Mu.

"This book of poems written by Wen Rong Daru is also very beneficial to you, but I don't know whether it is good for your writing or your martial arts."

After returning from Li Mo'er's place yesterday, Song Mu first gave Tao Fengming the book of poems to have a look. Tao Fengming was quite surprised to see that it was Song Wenrong's authentic work.

The Song family’s culture has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there have been more than a dozen Jinshi. There are countless ancient books and classics handed down by many Confucian scholars. Most of the Song Clan's ancestral hall was also lost in the changes.

Later, when the Song family returned to Shiyang, there were only a few boxes of ancestral books left. When it was passed to Song Mu, there were only one or two boxes of books, most of which were rusted and hard to read.

But even so, Song Mu also learned a lot from the books of his ancestors, especially Song Wenrong's new method of mind power, which is a surprising treasure.

Therefore, this time, Song Mu also gave high hopes to this book of Wenrong poems, hoping to learn something from the glory of his ancestors.

After Tao Fengming took this booklet yesterday, he devoted himself to studying it and gave Song Mu a lot of explanations and judgments about it.

The explanation of the poems in this book of poems does not actually fully represent Song Wenrong. Most of the poems in it were written by Song Wenrong when he was an official in Chang'an for a few years.

However, Song Wenrong is a literati who has achieved the realm of great Confucianism after all, and the content of this casually composed poem is still extraordinary. Tao Fengming and Song Mu explained a few poems, and Song Mu also got a glimpse of the style of the ancestors of the Song family.

In the poems, there are basically no sentences that moan without illness, and most of them express the affairs of the government at that time, and there are also some policies for the development of the Wen Dynasty at that time.

Tao Fengming seems to be quite familiar with these histories, and he can tell Song Mu every time, which is fascinating.

From it, Song Mu could see the achievements of a great Confucian who devoted himself to the development of the Wen Dynasty.

Right now Tao Fengming pointed to a poem above and said to Song Mu.

"The content in this poem may be helpful for your next test."

"It should be the motto of great Confucianism."

Song Mu looked down and read the sentence above gently.

"Don't be afraid of snow and wind, plow and harvest summer and autumn."

"The family is poor and the fields are prosperous, and the number of people can be expected."

A very simple five-character verse, the meaning is also simple and clear, but there is another explanation from Tao Fengming's mouth.

"This was still when Renzong was in power. At the beginning, the southern border of Shu and the large areas of Yunnan and Yunnan were under the control of our Wen Dynasty. However, a large number of fields were abandoned. At that time, the government and the opposition argued about the policy of the field people."

"At the beginning, it was proposed to move people to farm, but the population in the surrounding area is not dense. The strategy of moving people is not only a waste of people and money, but also because the people don't want it, and the state treasury can't."

"Wenrong Confucianism should have advocated the frontier army to farm, and then used this strategy. These places have been prosperous again after decades, and the state treasury did not spend too much during the period. , iron, medicinal herbs, and wood are in constant supply.”

Listening to Tao Fengming's explanation, Song Mu nodded again and again, while Tao Fengming looked at Song Mu and spoke immediately.

"Compared with the college entrance examination and the rural examination, the general examination relies more on theory, and it is not to make you remember such good strategies, but to remember the things behind it."

"What's behind it?"

Song Mu took the thing immediately, looked at it carefully, thought carefully, and then raised his head and said after a while.

"What Master said is that this is a way to use the power of the people and the country, but still achieve great things?"

Tao Fengming nodded in satisfaction, took a sip of hot tea, and continued speaking softly.

"The founding of the Wen Dynasty was difficult. The people in the four directions were growing up, and they were still suffering from floods and droughts. There were also monsters, locusts, beasts and birds. Regardless of natural disasters, the people were already suffering. The Wen Dynasty continued to provide relief, and felt quite pressured."

"What's more, there is still a huge frontier army to support, which consumes a huge amount of silver every year, and has been fighting for years, and the treasury has not been enriched for a day, so the strategy of governing the country is mostly based on small and big."

Song Mu also nodded when he heard the teaching. Wen Dynasty ruled the country, mostly not choosing the best strategy, but the most economical strategy. In order to maintain the overall situation, some things are quite rough.

However, Song Mu was still a little puzzled, so he spoke immediately.

"Master, what if we talk about the strategy of open source?"

Tao Fengming looked up at Song Mu, but this time he was a little puzzled, but Song Mu said.

"Master, you also said that beyond the sea and the sky, there are human races standing in the world. In the past, Zhang Qian was envoy to the Western Regions. Why don't we open up like this?"

Tao Fengming nodded and explained.

"The strategy of open source has been around for a long time, but at present, the demon country in the northwest is prosperous, and there is no possibility of land, but water, there is a try."

"only……"

Tao Fengming showed some helplessness on his face, and looked at Song Mu, who let out a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"The disciple also understands the difficulties, but still has high hopes for him."

"If the country is governed by provinces, there are many shackles, and it is not a long-term solution."

Song Mu expressed his opinion, and Tao Fengming smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

From Song Mu's body, Tao Fengming can always see something different.

This disciple of mine seems to have his own unique views on these many old systems.

It is difficult to say the advantages and disadvantages of not following the old system, but in today's Wen Dynasty, the old system is not a good prescription.

Immediately Tao Fengming gave up and said with a smile.

"It's good to have this belief, and quickly write an article on this matter of open source. If you have a clear idea, then you will try it this time, and you should have no worries."

Song Mu also got up quickly, packed out a table, sat beside Tao Fengming, picked up a pen and began to write.

Tao Fengming continued to look at the book of poems from the side, and occasionally explained a few lines for Song Mu, and then asked Song Mu's opinion.

The two asked and answered, but they both gained something, and Song Mu also calmed down and continued to study.

After traveling for more than a year, Song Mu now has been able to remember all the things Tao Fengming explained in his heart, and arrange the articles according to his own ideas.

Although Tao Fengming still sometimes criticizes him as whimsical, he can also see Tao Fengming nodding more often.

In this way, the two masters and apprentices continued to work hard for the examination and kept writing.

Every day after Song Mu finished the article in his hand, he would also read the book of poems, and when he saw what his ancestors did in the court in the past, he would also look up out of the window.

"If it were me, it would be different."

Song Mu murmured, through a piece of colored glaze, he seemed to see the scene of his plans for the Wen Dynasty in the distant future.
