Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 6

Scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties were still talking, doing nothing, and being self-willed and self-willed, they could be celebrities. Many families with low family backgrounds deliberately turned to metaphysics in order to improve their fame and family status.This kind of behavior, which my father bluntly called as a swindler who caters to the world and blindly pursues the trend, is actually very pertinent, and has gone against the foundation of the family inheritance.

This phenomenon is most obvious among the surnames of overseas Chinese in Nandu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Wang family of Langya was not a noble family at first, and it was still the heir of Confucian classics until Wang Xiang, who was lying on the ice and begging for carp. After Zhao Shile pushed the wall and buried him alive, before he died, he sighed that talking about the country was harmful to the country.

But this did not alert future generations, and the trend of clear talk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty continued unabated.Among the four surnames in Nandu, the Huan family of Qiao Guo and the Xie family of Chenliu were originally inferior families, and their fame was not obvious to the world. Huan Yi of the Huan family and Xie Kun of the Xie family were all famous metaphysics, and they had accumulated enough reputation for the family Capital is the prerequisite for families to rise one after another.

But this is only a specific phenomenon in a specific period. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the family background of Wang Xie and others was not as good as before. Didn't make a difference either.After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Wangxie Gaomen disappeared, but the Shandong Gaomen, which adhered to the classics, rose one after another and passed on for a longer time.It just corresponds to the rootless duckweed that Shen Chong said was famous for a while.

In the current world, it is really not easy for father Shen Chong to have such an opinion.

"Que'er, you are talented and intelligent, and you have already established a certain pattern. So remember, our Shen family does not regard esotericism as beauty. When you are a few years older, I will invite you a famous teacher, and also learn from this "Gongfu" "Yang Chunqiu" is meaningless imitating the wandering behavior of Beilan."

When Shen Chong said this, his expression was already very solemn. He was admonishing his son, fearing that he would be confused by the world and walk in evil ways.

Even without his father's serious instructions, Shen Zhezi was not interested in the style of metaphysics. Beauty is beautiful, and it is of no benefit to the world.It's just that the old man always has to despise the Nandu gentry in his words, calling them "beijia", which really makes him dumbfounded.

With such precepts and deeds, it is difficult for him to have a good impression of the overseas Chinese. No wonder the long-lasting grievances between the North and the South in history.Even in the Liu and Song Dynasties of the Southern Dynasties, some scholars in Wu claimed that they wished they could dig up Gu Rong’s ancestral grave. In the eyes of local scholars, Gu Rong is a traitor.

However, Shen Zhezi was quite moved by his father's painstaking efforts.If the world is like this, one or two generations can still maintain their self-sufficiency and use their achievements to rule the world and advance to the ranks, but it is difficult to persevere in the long run.Historically, after several generations of Wu Xing's Shen family, what Shen Chong called "Ashi's disadvantages" also occurred, and the transformation from a local wealthy family to a noble family was completed only after learning from Confucianism.But this life came here by himself, and this situation will definitely not happen again.

Seeing his son's sincere attitude, Shen Chong was quite satisfied and put away the scroll.He just warned in advance, not to teach it now.The righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period is difficult. If you do not have a solid foundation and force yourself to learn it, it will be far-fetched and harmful.

"Does Que'er know why his father rejected the position of Sikong promised by the court?"

Shen Zhezi understood that his father was testing himself. Although he had some ideas, he did not dare to say that he could understand the deep meaning after seeing his father's schemes. He pondered a little and said, "I also ask my father to teach me."

"Three lords are high-ranking, and they are the ultimate ministers. The court used this to lure me, and their intentions can be described as vicious. If I were tempted by this, I would betray my benefactor and invite me to be famous. The Langya Wang family will not tolerate me anymore. Even though I am in this position, I will be arrogant Enemy, this is one of them."

Shen Chong said sternly: "Of course, the Wang family was in chaos first, and there will be a period of silence in the future, and they may not dare to deal with me immediately. But if I live in the position of the three gentlemen because of the detriment of virtue, I will kill myself." For others, he is spurned by others and has no support. Although he is in a high position, he suffers from the cold, and there are powerful enemies from the royal family. They will definitely attack in groups soon, and there will be no chance of life. This is to slander and kill me with time, better than swordsmen!"

Hearing his father's detailed explanation, Shen Zhezi was also chilled, and he had a new understanding of the ancients' scheming and scheming. The seemingly simple temptation of a false name actually concealed such a vicious intention.It seems that my own IQ is not enough to survive in this Eastern Jin Dynasty.But fortunately, my father no longer takes risks, and with his back against this big tree, I still have enough time to learn and improve, so that I don't become dizzy and don't know that death is coming.

Looking back on history, when Dad faced such temptations from the court, he probably saw the hidden intention behind him to put him to death before he categorically refused.

"Although you are talented, Que'er, you must also understand a truth. When you are born in the world, you can naturally indulge your emotions when you are proud, but you can only stand for a long time if you know how to be self-deprecating. The brave are destroyed by soldiers, and the wise are destroyed by schemes. Those who rely on others can also hurt themselves. The sage self-examines and cuts himself, and sacrifices one's strengths to make up for the weaknesses of the group. This is called self-cultivation."

Shen Zhezi listened to his father's teachings, which is probably the so-called moderation, and his father was telling himself not to be arrogant because of his precocity, but to know how to restrain his edge at the right time.He felt more and more lucky that he was lucky, and enjoyed his father's earnest advice. It felt like he had upgraded a large belt, and it was much more comfortable than groping alone.

Teaching by precepts and deeds is a long and subtle process, and Shen Chong does not expect to be able to pass on all his experience and wisdom in life to his son in a short period of time. Seeing that Shen Zhezi's face is a little tired, he does not force him to go down and rest.

Shen Zhezi was indeed a little mentally ill, his head was drowsy and drowsy, and his body was really weak. After bidding farewell to his father, he walked back to his room, thinking about how to improve his health, and finally persuaded his father to stop making trouble Well, don't die because of a cold, that's really a joke in the world.

"The talisman water means that you can't drink it anymore, and you will get sick if you don't get sick!"

Shen Zhezi yawned and held onto the bed, thinking in his heart: "If you really want to keep healthy, you can visit that Baopuzi Immortal Ge. He is the real reliable person in this era, but I don't know Ge Hong. where are you now……"

Because of dissuading his father and resolving the imminent murder, Shen Zhezi felt relieved and had more time to think about what he could do in this era.He no longer dared to underestimate the people of the world because of his status as a time traveler. You must know that even such a cruel and merciless hero as his father was trampled down in the treacherous early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Can live long.

The predecessor Wang Mang was hanged and beaten by Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, and Shen Zhezi didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to settle down first and watch more and do less.

Shen Chong stayed in the manor for another two days before leaving for Longxi.Shen Zhezi also wanted to follow his father to learn more about the world and learn the art of making decisions, so he wanted to follow.Shen Chong was worried about his health, he hesitated, and finally decided to take Shen Zhezi.The more things you experience, the faster you can grow.

Shen Zhezi traveled with the team and sat in the bullock cart. Although the sun was scorching, the bullock cart was very cool.Because the bullock cart has walls, after a short distance, a maid puts ice cubes sealed in an airtight box into it.Naturally, there is no ice-making technology in this era. It is conceivable that it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to collect and store the frozen ice in winter until it can be used in midsummer.

Shen Zhezi was sitting in the car, recalling how to make ice in his mind.Making ice, brewing wine and burning glass is the preparation that everyone who aspires to time travel should do in future generations, and Shen Zhezi has also dabbled in it.Although he doesn't need to rely on these methods to make money, but if he can manage it, he can save a lot of waste of manpower and material resources for the enjoyment of wealthy families nowadays.

After walking for about an hour, a group of people left the scope of the Shen family's manor. From this, Shen Zhezi had a more specific understanding of his family's financial resources.This vast manor is just a separate property. According to the servant, there are many other properties of this type, ranging from hundreds to thousands of hectares.And these are not the most prosperous main businesses of the Shen family at the moment. The mint workshop in Longxi and the manor where actors and singers are raised in Xiaxi are both pillar industries that have been recorded in history!

"It's too rich to have any friends!"

Shen Zhezi was secretly happy, born in such a wealthy family, and being the eldest son, at least he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he had capital support for whatever he wanted to do.He once read the "Mountain Dwelling Fu" by Xie Lingyun, which described in detail the Shining Villa, a large manor run by Xie's family for several generations. At that time, he thought it was exaggerated.Looking at it now, the Xie family is expensive, but as an overseas Chinese surname, in terms of industrial wealth alone, it is still slightly inferior to the Shen family who lived in Wuxing for generations.

When Shen Zhezi thinks this way, he is not arrogant.The term "local tyrant" was first seen in books. In the "Book of Songs of the Southern Dynasties", the edict of Emperor Ming of Liu Song reprimanded Shen Bo for "self-reliance on Wu Xing local tyrants and so on", and Shen Bo is a descendant of Shen Chong's lineage, and he should be the great-great-grandson of Shen Zhezi.Even the emperor called it a local tyrant, which shows that Wu Xing and Shen's family are real local tyrants.

Although the Chen Jun Xie family is the top family in the Southern Dynasties, there are still decades before they can really make a fortune, and they are not popular right now.Xie Kun of the Xie family is still in the stage of gaining fame and reputation, and even Xie Kun was hastily buried in a mass grave outside Jiankang City after his death. It can be seen that in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Xie family of Chen Jun, who lived in the south of the Yangtze River, suffered for a long time day.

Shen Zhezi's thoughts diverged, and he was thinking about whether to take advantage of Xie's family's downfall to help one or two, at least forge a good relationship, or leave an unforgettable childhood shadow for four-year-old Xie An?Thinking of this, his mood was very cheerful and filled with deep evil.
