I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 7 Zhiyao who made a lot of money
Lao Tzu does not have any books yet, and more than [-]% of the knowledge he has learned comes from the classics in the Zhou royal family's collection.

In fact, there are not many classics in the collection of the royal family of the current Zhou Dynasty, and most of them were taken to the state of Chu by the prince.

Zhou Tianzi asked the other countries to help retrieve the ancient books in Chu State more than once, but unfortunately the princes agreed with their mouths, but did not take any actual actions at all.

In the past, due to the need to borrow the banner of Zhou Tianzi, the state of Jin would often meet the requirements of Zhou Tianzi.Later, the state of Jin gave up fighting with the state of Chu, and while maintaining its status as the overlord of the Central Plains, more energy was used for internal fighting.

At present, it is the Wu State that is striving to gain the recognition of the hegemony by other countries. They successfully scared the Chu State in 515 BC, and forced the Chu State to move its capital in 505 BC. Not many vassal states recognized Wu's hegemony.

"Sun Changqing (Sun Wu) and Wu Yuan (Wu Zixu) are all Wu ministers. Wu defeated Chu, annexed Xu, Zhongwu, and Huaiyi, and won constant victories in the west and south. The new "Bo" in the south must be Wu." Confucius said.

The "bo" is the same as "ba". In the spring and Autumn period, "bo" means the boss, and when it is used in the country, it generally refers to the overlord.

When they talked about this, it was mainly because Zhiyao had decided on today's topic from the very beginning.

It's up to you!
Lao Tzu started, and then Confucius, who was very expressive, gave the lecture.

In the past 30 to [-] years, the State of Wu has been really awesome, repeatedly defeating the then Southern Overlord State of Chu.

There are many factors that made the rise of the Wu State, the most critical is that Wu Zixu fled from the Chu State to the Wu State, and later introduced Sun Wu to the Wu King Helu, and the Wu State rose completely after that.

Confucius said again: "Wu has no 'ritual', and mostly uses deceit, so its prosperity must also flourish, and its death must be sudden."

Yes, in the era when everyone is still pursuing "Gentlemen's War", Wu Guo never cared about those things, and getting the soldier who yelled "Soldiers are deceitful" is simply a perfect match!

Sun Wu is actually a member of the Tian family of Qi State. His grandfather Tian Shu won the fief "Sun" for his meritorious service when Qi State attacked Ju State, and the family name was obtained from the fiefdom.

Sun Ping, the son of Tian Shu, did not make any achievements in the future. By the time of Sun Wu's generation, he could not get along in Qi State. Seven times in a row to recommend Sun Wu.

Now people in the world except Wu Guo not only have a bad sense of Wu Guo, but also dislike Sun Wu.

The reason is that Sun Wu is good at using strange soldiers, which is simply too lacking in martial arts.

What really disgusted the world happened in 506 BC. Sun Wu and Wu Zixu commanded the Wu army to enter the capital of Chu, and then they dug out the coffin of the king of Chu and flogged the corpse.

By the way, Zhiyao is no longer in "Luoyi". He invited Lao Tzu to Jin, and invited Confucius by the way. As a result, not only Confucius was willing to visit Jin, but also three other people who could participate in the academic exchange between Lao Tzu and Confucius also followed. Came to the state of Jin.

Zhiyao brought them to Zhishi's fief "Father Huang", not directly to "Xintian".

This "Father Huang" is the place Zhiyao chose to live in for a long time. If there is no accident, he will stay for at least three years, and may stay for seven or eight years at most.

The reason why Zhiyao came to "Father Huang" is very simple. He knows that there are quite a lot of open-pit coal mines here, especially iron mines.

There are coal mines and iron mines. Needless to say, what Zhiyao wants to do?
I am so happy not to live in "Xintian", lest I feel sick after seeing too many "qings" in the state of Jin fighting all day long.

Confucius regarded coming to "Father Huang" as a good relationship.

Although the state of Jin has been reduced from the "hegemon of the world" to the status of the "hegemon of the Central Plains", and the status of the "hegemon of the Central Plains" has been repeatedly challenged by the state of Qi, the state of Jin may not be really weak, it is purely an internal struggle Too serious, resulting in the inability to take care of foreign countries.

After returning to the country this time, Confucius wanted to do a big thing that he had wanted to do for a long time. He was not sure whether the monarch could cover himself. What he thought about was whether he could find foreign aid. "Luoyi" met Zhiyao, and thought it might be better to ask Jin for help.

So, what big event did Confucius want to do after returning home?He wants to kill his longtime rival, Shao Zhengmao.

"Shaozheng" is an official position, and "Mao" is a name.He is also a man of learning, and has always been tit-for-tat with Confucius.

The theories of the two are similar and contradictory. As a result, the three thousand disciples of Confucius often went to listen to Shaozhengmao's lectures, but when they came back, they would ask Confucius about Shaozhengmao's knowledge.

This kind of prying of the corner of the wall, which is not the corner of the wall, really angered Confucius, especially Confucius felt that Shao Zhengmao was the spokesperson launched by "Sanhuan" to fight against him.

Confucius himself hated some of Shaozhengmao's theories very much, and he was a political enemy, so how could he not be killed?

"Wu and Yue are contending for the front. Chu and Qi may be able to take a breather, but Jin has many things to do." Confucius said.

The state of Jin is far away in the Central Plains, while the state of Wu is in the southeast. The two countries do not border each other. Why is there so much going on in the state of Jin?
Speaking of it, the Jin State played an important role in the rise of Wu State, and the old Zhi family also contributed a lot.

About 60 years ago, Zhiying first put forward the suggestion of strengthening Wu State, so that Wu State could contain Chu State in the southeast and help Jin State gain hegemony.

The state of Jin has repeatedly sent nobles to the state of Wu to teach them knowledge, with the intention of bringing the ignorant state of Wu into the cultural circle.

At that time, the State of Wu was repeatedly defeated by the State of Chu, and even within a few years, three generations of Wu Jun died in battle with the Chu army. Great efforts have been made to survive.

All right now!When the state of Wu came to Fuchai to be the master, they forgot the favors of the state of Jin. They defeated the state of Chu in a row and merged many countries. They felt that they had become quite powerful. To decide who is the real world hegemon.

Zhiyao motioned to twenty schoolmates aged 13 to 15 to listen carefully.

The schoolmates who were too young did not come because they were too young to understand those things, and it was very likely to have the opposite effect.

This group of teenagers aged 13 to 15 is one of the people Zhiyao wants to cultivate. In recent days, they have followed Zhiyao to listen to Lao Tzu and Confucius lectures.

Understanding the world situation is a very high-end class, not to mention 501 BC, even in modern times, it can be said to be a compulsory class for those who are destined to hold power.

Confucius did not reject Zhiyao bringing so many people to the lecture, on the contrary he felt very happy.

He is such a character who is good at being a teacher. Whenever he goes to a place, he likes to give lectures, usually about "rituals". Today, Zhiyao strongly requested to talk about the situation in the world.

Knowing the situation in the world can broaden your horizons, and when the pattern is bigger, the thinking space will naturally be wider when thinking about some things.

Know which celebrities are there, what they have done, and you will have someone to refer to when you make a decision when you encounter the same thing.

A group of teenagers listened attentively.They...or counting Zhiyao, are they considered disciples after listening to Confucius' lectures?If you like it, you can, if you don’t want it, you can’t.

Confucius had his own disciples in his entourage. A man named Zhong You occasionally talked about military affairs, and a man named Duan Muci also talked about merchants.

At the beginning, Zhiyao didn't know the names of Zhong You and Duanmuci, but after hearing them call each other "characters", she realized that Zhongyou was Zilu and Duanmuci was Zigong.

No way, the names of historical celebrities in history books or other works may not be consistent with their real names, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, when there were surnames, surnames, first names, and titles, different occasions and different people were called differently.

Why did Confucius allow Zilu and Zigong to give lectures, but they still talked about military affairs and merchants?Nothing too special, Confucius never forbids his disciples to have their own special subjects, just don’t misinterpret the relevant knowledge taught by Confucius himself such as "ritual", "benevolence", and "righteousness".

Zhiyao was very greedy, and asked, "Would Ji Lu stay in Jin Dynasty and be my 'family doctor'?"

This "family doctor" is the retainer.

Zilu could see that Zhiyao was greedy for him, so he refused without thinking, "I only want to serve 'teacher' Kong Zuo."

Spring and autumn, people who can be teachers are extremely powerful, and they are also very respected by the world.

There is nothing wrong with Zilu calling Confucius "Master Kong", it is still a proper title.

Zhiyao took another opportunity to ask Zigong the same question.

Zigong said directly: "I'm sure what I want, I dare not ask you!"

it is good!
Can't leave a military power?Being able to keep a business wizard is also profitable!
What Zhiyao didn't know was that Zi Gong was not only good at business, but also a great political power.

Therefore, Zhiyao is not only earning money, but being able to keep Zigong working for her for a long time is definitely a huge profit! ! !

Confucius, who later learned that Zigong was going to stay in Jin as a retainer of the Zhi family, was also very happy.

Confucius thought: "I just want to do something big when I go back, and I have given it to Jinshi Zhishi to help me!"
