Chapter 116 Set sail and set sail Know what you know
Before Dong Fengduo realized the discomfort Sun Shao brought to him, Yue Hai enthusiastically invited him aside. These days, many craftsmen in the shipyard were unwell, and it was already serious enough to affect the progress. Yue Hai was worried, but it happened that Dong Bong was delivered to the door.
Dong Feng had no choice but to apologize to Ge Heng, but Sun Shao didn't care, and took Ge Heng aside to study the problem of counterweight.Since Sun Shao pointed out the problem of the center of gravity, Ge Heng has walked this way and carefully observed the differences of ships in various places. He not only noticed the problem that the center of gravity is good for preventing the ship from capsizing due to wind, but also the position of the front and rear counterweights. The impact on the ship, so the problem Sun Shao wanted to solve was not a big problem for him at all. He decided how to deal with it in a few words. To be on the safe side, he completely dispelled other people's doubts. Decided to use the ship model to test first.
Yue Hai naturally agreed with both hands. How safe and reliable is it for Ge Heng to do this? If it succeeds, he must have done a great job. proceed.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there was no such thing as setting out the ship. If any ship is to be presided over by an experienced person, it will be directly cut and processed. The requirements for the person in charge here are very high, and any mistake by him may lead to Serious problems range from loss of materials to capsized boats and fatalities.Because of this, when Sun Shao proposed to add weights to the bottom of the ship, Yuehai was very cautious, for fear of messing up.Now that Ge Heng said that the ship model test should be done first, for him, it is tantamount to eliminating the risk, so he is of course relieved.
When it came to building a boat, Ge Heng was immediately intoxicated by it, and he left Sun Shao aside. Sun Shao was a little bored, and asked him during his break if there was anything interesting about Dongzhi City.Ge Heng was a little absent-minded at first, but after hearing his words, he became vigilant, with a nervous expression on his face: "Young Master, don't go to Dongzhi."
"Why?" Sun Shao was very puzzled.
The corners of Ge Heng's eyes twitched, and he organized his sentence before saying: "The general who rebels slaughtered the city here back then."
Sun Shao rolled his eyes and understood Ge Heng's meaning: Dongzhi people didn't like him.
Sun Ce slaughtered Dongzhi City. Yan Baihu was in Dongzhi back then and refused to surrender. Sun Ce took a lot of effort to break Yan Baihu, and slaughtered Dongzhi City in a rage.Sun Shao only knew a general idea about this matter and didn't take it seriously. Now that he was suddenly reminded by Ge Heng, he realized that this matter didn't matter to him, but to the people of Dongzhi, it was a painful one. remember.
Hey, why did I accidentally inherit such an inheritance?
Sun Shao secretly lamented, but he was not in the mood to make any confession. He asked casually, "Does Yan Baihu have any descendants?"
"Not sure." Ge Heng shook his head: "After their brothers were beheaded by the rebellious general, most of their subordinates disappeared. There are many mountains and seaports in Dongzhi. thieves or pirates or something."
"Are there many bandits and pirates here?"
"Many." Ge Heng sighed: "Although this is still in Kuaiji County, the government's control power is already very weak. After taking office as captain Rui Wenluan, all successive captains have failed to follow the law. Uneasy."
Sun Shao frowned. He knew that the hinterland of Jiangdong was not stable, but Dongzhi, as the governor of the eastern captain of Kuaiji County, was surprised that the situation was so pessimistic.He wanted to ask a few more questions in detail, but when he saw that Ge Heng was not thinking about it, he dismissed the idea and let him make a ship model with peace of mind and wander around the shipyard by himself.
Zhang Ke was repairing the ship full of joy, covered by Sun Shao's big tiger skin, Yue Hai was very polite to him, and arranged for someone to repair several of his boats. The goods were half-sold and half-gifted, and the people in the shipyard had a good impression of him. The work was done smoothly, and the restored ship made people happy.Seeing that Sun Shao's complexion was not very good, he hurried up to inquire, and after hearing what Sun Shao said, he suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Sun Jun, why worry about this, in fact, the common people in the head of Guizhou can't remember so much, they live a tight life If you can’t get through, you will complain, if you can’t go on, you will turn back, if you still can’t go on, you will go down again, and it will go round and round, nothing like this.”
Sun Shao turned his head to look at the disapproving Zhang Ke, and suddenly felt that he still didn't adapt well to his identity and didn't fully integrate into this era.Although Zhang Ke is a businessman, he is at the bottom of the power structure, but in the whole society, he is still above the middle class. With the Zhang family as the backing, he lives a very prosperous life and does not have much love for the people at the bottom. pity.
Are you a little too sentimental?
Seeing that Sun Shao didn't speak, Zhang Xi thought that Sun Shao was worried about state affairs. He thought for a while and said: "If Sun Jun travels on this sea route in the future, he will definitely meet Yan Baihu's descendants. If there are still people around if."
"you know?"
"I don't know much about it." Zhang Yu pointed to the southeast direction: "I just heard that after the general who was against the rebellion put down Dongzhi, there were many people who were unwilling to follow the general who was against the rebellion and went to sea to become pirates. Some people have seen them, and it is said that there is a large continent in the southeast, called Yizhou, except for some barbarians, there is no government control on the continent, so they settled down there, and lived quite comfortably."
Sun Shao's heart suddenly moved, and he thought about it carefully. Since this is the mouth of the Minjiang River, then this should be the Fujian Province of later generations. Isn't the southeast of Fujian Province the island of Taiwan?Did someone come to Taiwan Island at this time?
"The vast sea, how did they get there?" Sun Shao asked curiously.
"I'm not sure about that." Zhang Yan smiled, thought for a while and said: "Sun Jun, in fact, you may think too complicated about some things. For example, you said that the ship is easy to capsize due to wind. , This is not bad, but the sea is not always windy, and there are many cargo ships that are not as good as building boats. Those barbarian people can even sail across the ocean on bamboo rafts. Wealth, there are countless people who dare to take risks, how could they be too considerate. If nothing else, let’s just talk about the pirates, how many pirates are there along the way? Probably no one can tell, but doesn’t this sea route still come and go? It’s perfectly normal to take a risk as long as it’s profitable.”
Sun Shao also laughed: "A philosopher said that if you have [-]% of the profit, you can take risks, if you have double the profit, you can be lawless, and if you have three times the profit, you can do anything. It really makes sense."
"Hehehe, even if you miss, it's not far away." Zhang Ji didn't hide anything, stroked his beard and smiled: "The Taishi Gong said that the prosperity of the world is for the benefit, and the world is for the benefit. .As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts around."
"The biggest profit doesn't come from doing business." Shen Xuan appeared out of nowhere, and smiled sullenly: "It's rebellion."
"Hahaha..." Sun Shao laughed, pointed at Shen Xuan and said, "I don't think your surname should be Shen, but Wei."
"The surname is Wei?" Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he also smiled. He touched his nose and said with a disapproving smile: "Sun Jun, it's not that I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but that's the truth. Even if you have mountains of gold and silver, So what? A single imperial edict can ruin your family and ruin your family. Lu Buwei established himself as the king of Qin, and he has dominated the world for more than ten years. It seems that the scenery is boundless, but in the end, isn’t it like a bird or a beast? "
"Mozhi, you don't seem to be right about the word." Sun Shao didn't answer his words, "I don't think you are silent at all, but you are very loud."
"If you don't speak with words, you will lose people. If you can't speak with words, you will lose your words." Shen Xuan put his hands behind his back and stood against the wind, with a serious look on his thin face: "Although I am not a wise man, I dare not Against the teachings of the saints."
Sun Shao is helpless, this kid is too persistent, he persuades him to rebel whenever he has the opportunity, his words are sharp, every sentence hits his heart, but he can't refute, he can use the words of a sage to persuade people to do outrageous things, and To be honest, I have to admit that his tongue is indeed better.Sun Shao can't afford to offend him, and he can't hide from him. This kid is very familiar with those guards now, and he doesn't regard himself as an outsider.
Zhang Wen made trouble for me, and Sun Shao sighed.Fortunately, this guy still knows the importance, that is, he talks about it in front of himself and doesn't say a word in front of others, otherwise he really has to consider whether he should be done and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
"Mozhi, how about accompanying me to Dongzhi City?"
Shen Xuan was also very clear about Sun Ce's slaughter of Dongzhi, he turned his head to look at Sun Shao, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Aren't you afraid of being assassinated in the street when you go to Dongzhi?"
"What are you afraid of?" Sun Shao raised his hand and patted Shen Xuan's shoulder: "Isn't it because you have this knife by my side, so I have nothing to be afraid of. If I'm done for, your Shen family won't leave anything behind, say Maybe the Zhang family will be involved."
The corners of Shen Xuan's mouth twitched. Sun Shao's words were too vicious. If he really died, Sun Quan would definitely take the Shen family's knife. Zhang Wen, a middleman, couldn't afford to walk around. It was time to keep him safe.
"Scared?" Sun Shao looked at Shen Xuan playfully.Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since the captain is not afraid, I have nothing to be afraid of, so I will go with you."
Zhang Xi hesitated for a moment, and was about to persuade him, when Sun Shao pulled his arm: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, we are just ordinary businessmen, we go to the market to understand the market situation, and we don't want to cause trouble. There is nothing to be afraid of." of."
Dongzhi is the place with the most Yizhou people who come across the sea. Zhang Ji has heard about it, but he has never had the opportunity to visit Dongzhi. Of course, he is very excited.Besides, with experts like Sun Shao and Shen Xuan around, plus the guards of the Guan family, as long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, there is not much danger, and they hit it off right away.Sun Shao found Yue Hai to lead Guan Chuan into the city, Yue Hai was still a little worried about Sun Shao's accident, but later Shen Xuanliang made a move, and thinking about Guan Feng's martial arts skills are not bad, he agreed.
Early the next morning, Sun Shao, Guan Feng and others left the shipyard, took a boat up the river, and rushed to Dongzhi City.Not long after leaving the shipyard, there are more boats on the river, most of which are slender boats. One or two people are paddling and paddling. of fruits and vegetables.Sun Shao had seen a lot in his previous life, and Zhang Xi had been in business for many years, and he was also a knowledgeable person. Although Shen Xuan hadn't seen much, but apart from talking a lot in front of Sun Shao, it was a pity that he matched his words in front of others. Among the people who speak like gold, only Guan Xiaoqing and Qiaoyue are the two girls who make a fuss, curiously ask twice when they see anything, their crisp voices are like two orioles, chirping non-stop.
Although they were not on a building boat, they were also official ships of Houguan Shipyard. Compared with most of the boats in the river, they were much more majestic, and the two lively girls were also quite lovable. It was quite polite to them, and after a short time, they each held a handful of fruits in their hands and tasted them with gusto.
What Sun Shao paid attention to was different from them. He saw that many people in these ships were dressed very differently, unlike the Han people with their hair tied in a bun, wearing turbans or crowns. Most of these people tied their hair into a bunch. Standing on the top of the head, and the hair on the side is all shaved, as smooth as a cucumber rind.Although the weather is not too hot, many people are bare-chested. Even if they wear clothes, it is a simple piece of cloth. Most of their bodies are exposed outside, revealing various tattoos. Although these tattoos have many patterns, But if you look closely, you can tell that most of them are bird patterns, which are very similar to the phoenix bird pattern used by the big man, but there are some differences. What makes Sun Shao even more strange is that some people have no front teeth, and when they grin, they reveal black hair. Tooth cavity, looks very funny.
"Could it be that this is the chiseled tooth countryman in Shan Hai Jing?" Sun Shao joked.
"Sun Jun read the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Shen Xuan curled his lips with some disdain: "What's so good about reading those false and absurd books?"
"Hey, you don't understand." Sun Shaoshun took out a wooden board from Shuaizeng's backpack, put it on his lap, took out a thin charcoal pencil, and quickly sketched it on the paper with a few strokes. , a few rough human figures leaped onto the paper.
Shen Xuan took a look with his head, and the disdain in his eyes became stronger, and he smiled sarcastically: "I didn't expect that the captain is really good at both civil and military, not only good at martial arts, but also good at painting."
Sun Shao tilted his head and glanced at him, he was not angry, he finished drawing the picture carefully, then put it away carefully, and called Qiaoyue and Guan Xiaoqing to his face, and said with a smile: "Don't bother to eat, after eating, Draw it for me, and there will be a reward for drawing well."
"Young master, don't worry, we have received the reward, and someone else will draw the painting." Qiaoyue giggled, picked up the drawing board and left.Only then did Sun Shao turn his head, and looked at Shen Xuan solemnly: "Have you ever read poetry?"
Shen Xuan smiled proudly, not even interested in answering.
"Why do you want to read poetry?" Sun Shao asked.
Shen Xuan pondered for a while, and replied: "The sage said, 'If you don't study poetry, you can speak without writing'. He also said that reading poetry can help you know more about the names of birds, beasts, insects and fish."
"Well, yes, I finally met someone who is a bit interesting." Sun Shao nodded with emotion: "Well, if you dare to ask Mozhi, how many kinds of birds, beasts, and insects are mentioned in this book of poems? How many kinds of fish?"
Shen Xuan was dumbfounded.He can memorize the three hundred and five poems fluently, but who would be stupid enough to count these types?
Seeing Shen Xuan deflated, Zhang Ke smiled and remained silent, and Guan Feng next to him was also expressionless.They were a little unexpected about Sun Shao's question, and felt that Sun Shao was a bit too cunning, not to mention Shen Xuan, even a doctor who studied the Book of Songs, he might not be able to tell how many kinds of birds, beasts, insects and fishes were mentioned in the Book of Songs.
"Don't know?" Sun Shao smiled triumphantly, and asked again: "Okay, let's change to a simple question. Mo Zhi must have read Guan Sui's poem, right?"
"That goes without saying." Shen Xuan gave him an angry look.
"Then may I ask, what does this watery plant look like? If you were in the market, would you be able to find the watery plant without mistake and not choose other ones by mistake?"
Shen Xuan was stunned. He thought about it carefully. He had read this poem countless times, and he generally knew what watermelon vegetables were like. But if he really wanted to explain them in detail, he really couldn't tell. According to what Sun Shao said, he went to the market to pick them. , Nine times out of ten, you will pick a mistake.
"Brother Shen is very knowledgeable, and watermelon is something you see every day. You can't guarantee that you won't make mistakes. After a hundred years or a thousand years, how many people will know what this is talking about?" Sun Shao straightened his waist , sighed with emotion: "I'm afraid I will not be able to distinguish leeks from grass by then."
Shen Xuan rolled his eyes, and smiled disdainfully: "These things are what farmers should care about. I don't know water lily, and it doesn't affect my understanding of the saint's poetry. A farmer knows water lily, but he is still a laborer. "
"That's the farmer's business?" Sun Shao sneered: "Well, let's talk about the things you gentlemen care about. Excuse me, what does the saint you talk about look like? Is it really like a lost dog? "
"How could a saint be a bereaved dog? That just shows that a saint is not tolerated by the world, how can he be limited to words." Shen Xuan was furious, "The appearance of a saint is clearly stated in the book, 'his mantle is like Yao, his Xiang-like Gaoyao, and his shoulder-like Zichan', are all in the shape of ancient sages."
"Aren't you limited to words?" Sun Shao retorted.
"Me?" Shen Xuan was speechless.
"Then explain to me, what does Yao's forehead look like? What does Gaotao's neck look like? What's so weird about Zichan's shoulders?"
"Me?" Shen Xuan was completely speechless.
"It's a pity that you have the nerve to say that you are a disciple of a sage." Sun Shao continued to beat the dog in the water, and the disdain on his face became more and more intense. He turned around and stopped looking at Shen Xuan: "There are only a few kinds of things in the world that are described in the Book of Songs." ?You study the Book of Songs every day, and you don’t even understand what the Book of Songs talks about. You don’t know anything about what the Book of Songs talks about, but you are fighting over a few words , don't you feel bored?"
Shen Xuan was driven mad by him, a little indiscriminate, and sneered: "In the opinion of the captain, you don't need to read poetry, but you should read the Classic of Mountains and Seas instead?"
"What happened to the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Sun Shao asked back: "Do you know what the Classic of Mountains and Seas talks about?"
"I don't even bother to look at such false books." The corners of Shen Xuan's eyes twitched, barely maintaining his final demeanor.
"If you don't understand, you don't understand, and you don't bother to watch it." Sun Shao curled his lips, and added a sentence very calmly: "Master has a saying, 'Knowing what you know, and what you don't know is not knowing, that is knowing'. If you don't understand, pretend to understand. What is it? You are also called observing the teachings of the saints? If the saints really want to come back to life, I am afraid that you will be mad at you."
"Ah—" Shen Xuan couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his head to the sky and howled, his usual stern demeanor was gone.

Before Dong Fengduo realized the discomfort Sun Shao brought to him, Yue Hai enthusiastically invited him aside. These days, many craftsmen in the shipyard were unwell, and it was already serious enough to affect the progress. Yue Hai was worried, but it happened that Dong Bong was delivered to the door.

"Why?" Sun Shao was very puzzled.
The corners of Ge Heng's eyes twitched, and he organized his sentence before saying: "The general who rebels slaughtered the city here back then."
Sun Shao rolled his eyes and understood Ge Heng's meaning: Dongzhi people didn't like him.
Sun Ce slaughtered Dongzhi City. Yan Baihu was in Dongzhi back then and refused to surrender. Sun Ce took a lot of effort to break Yan Baihu, and slaughtered Dongzhi City in a rage.Sun Shao only knew a general idea about this matter and didn't take it seriously. Now that he was suddenly reminded by Ge Heng, he realized that this matter didn't matter to him, but to the people of Dongzhi, it was a painful one. remember.
Hey, why did I accidentally inherit such an inheritance?
Sun Shao secretly lamented, but he was not in the mood to make any confession. He asked casually, "Does Yan Baihu have any descendants?"
"Not sure." Ge Heng shook his head: "After their brothers were beheaded by the rebellious general, most of their subordinates disappeared. There are many mountains and seaports in Dongzhi. thieves or pirates or something."
"Are there many bandits and pirates here?"
"Many." Ge Heng sighed: "Although this is still in Kuaiji County, the government's control power is already very weak. After taking office as captain Rui Wenluan, all successive captains have failed to follow the law. Uneasy."
Sun Shao frowned. He knew that the hinterland of Jiangdong was not stable, but Dongzhi, as the governor of the eastern captain of Kuaiji County, was surprised that the situation was so pessimistic.He wanted to ask a few more questions in detail, but when he saw that Ge Heng was not thinking about it, he dismissed the idea and let him make a ship model with peace of mind and wander around the shipyard by himself.

With the Zhang family as the backing, he lives a very prosperous life and does not have much love for the people at the bottom. pity.
Are you a little too sentimental?
Seeing that Sun Shao didn't speak, Zhang Xi thought that Sun Shao was worried about state affairs. He thought for a while and said: "If Sun Jun travels on this sea route in the future, he will definitely meet Yan Baihu's descendants. If there are still people around if."
"you know?"
"I don't know much about it." Zhang Yu pointed to the southeast direction: "I just heard that after the general who was against the rebellion put down Dongzhi, there were many people who were unwilling to follow the general who was against the rebellion and went to sea to become pirates. Some people have seen them, and it is said that there is a large continent in the southeast, called Yizhou, except for some barbarians, there is no government control on the continent, so they settled down there, and lived quite comfortably."
Sun Shao's heart suddenly moved, and he thought about it carefully. Since this is the mouth of the Minjiang River, then this should be the Fujian Province of later generations. Isn't the southeast of Fujian Province the island of Taiwan?Did someone come to Taiwan Island at this time?
"The vast sea, how did they get there?" Sun Shao asked curiously.
"I'm not sure about that." Zhang Yan smiled, thought for a while and said: "Sun Jun, in fact, you may think too complicated about some things. For example, you said that the ship is easy to capsize due to wind. , This is not bad, but the sea is not always windy, and there are many cargo ships that are not as good as building boats.

Sun Shao also laughed: "A philosopher said that if you have [-]% of the profit, you can take risks, if you have double the profit, you can be lawless, and if you have three times the profit, you can do anything. It really makes sense."
"Hehehe, even if you miss, it's not far away." Zhang Ji didn't hide anything, stroked his beard and smiled: "The Taishi Gong said that the prosperity of the world is for the benefit, and the world is for the benefit. .As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts around."
"The biggest profit doesn't come from doing business." Shen Xuan appeared out of nowhere, and smiled sullenly: "It's rebellion."
"Hahaha..." Sun Shao laughed, pointed at Shen Xuan and said, "I don't think your surname should be Shen, but Wei."
"The surname is Wei?" Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he also smiled. He touched his nose and said with a disapproving smile: "Sun Jun, it's not that I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but that's the truth.

"Mozhi, you don't seem to be right about the word." Sun Shao didn't answer his words, "I don't think you are silent at all, but you are very loud."
"If you don't speak with words, you will lose people. If you can't speak with words, you will lose your words." Shen Xuan put his hands behind his back and stood against the wind, with a serious look on his thin face: "Although I am not a wise man, I dare not Against the teachings of the saints."
Sun Shao is helpless, this kid is too persistent, he persuades him to rebel whenever he has the opportunity, his words are sharp, every sentence hits his heart, but he can't refute, he can use the words of a sage to persuade people to do outrageous things, and To be honest, I have to admit that his tongue is indeed better.Sun Shao can't afford to offend him, and he can't hide from him.

"Mozhi, how about accompanying me to Dongzhi City?"
Shen Xuan was also very clear about Sun Ce's slaughter of Dongzhi, he turned his head to look at Sun Shao, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Aren't you afraid of being assassinated in the street when you go to Dongzhi?"
"What are you afraid of?" Sun Shao raised his hand and patted Shen Xuan's shoulder: "Isn't it because you have this knife by my side, so I have nothing to be afraid of. If I'm done for, your Shen family won't leave anything behind, say Maybe the Zhang family will be involved."
The corners of Shen Xuan's mouth twitched. Sun Shao's words were too vicious. If he really died, Sun Quan would definitely take the Shen family's knife. Zhang Wen, a middleman, couldn't afford to walk around. It was time to keep him safe.
"Scared?" Sun Shao looked at Shen Xuan playfully.Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since the captain is not afraid, I have nothing to be afraid of, so I will go with you."
Zhang Xi hesitated for a moment, and was about to persuade him, when Sun Shao pulled his arm: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, we are just ordinary businessmen, we go to the market to understand the market situation, and we don't want to cause trouble. There is nothing to be afraid of." of."
Dongzhi is the place with the most Yizhou people who come across the sea. Zhang Ji has heard about it, but he has never had the opportunity to visit Dongzhi. Of course, he is very excited.Besides, with experts like Sun Shao and Shen Xuan around, plus the guards of the Guan family, as long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, there is not much danger, and they hit it off right away.Sun Shao found Yue Hai to lead Guan Chuan into the city, Yue Hai was still a little worried about Sun Shao's accident, but later Shen Xuanliang made a move, and thinking about Guan Feng's martial arts skills are not bad, he agreed.

"Hey, you don't understand." Sun Shaoshun took out a wooden board from Shuaizeng's backpack, put it on his lap, took out a thin charcoal pencil, and quickly sketched it on the paper with a few strokes. , a few rough human figures leaped onto the paper.
Shen Xuan took a look with his head, and the disdain in his eyes became stronger, and he smiled sarcastically: "I didn't expect that the captain is really good at both civil and military, not only good at martial arts, but also good at painting."
Sun Shao tilted his head and glanced at him, he was not angry, he finished drawing the picture carefully, then put it away carefully, and called Qiaoyue and Guan Xiaoqing to his face, and said with a smile: "Don't bother to eat, after eating, Draw it for me, and there will be a reward for drawing well."
"Young master, don't worry, we have received the reward, and someone else will draw the painting." Qiaoyue giggled, picked up the drawing board and left.Only then did Sun Shao turn his head, and looked at Shen Xuan solemnly: "Have you ever read poetry?"
Shen Xuan smiled proudly, not even interested in answering.
"Why do you want to read poetry?" Sun Shao asked.
Shen Xuan pondered for a while, and replied: "The sage said, 'If you don't study poetry, you can speak without writing'. He also said that reading poetry can help you know more about the names of birds, beasts, insects and fish."
"Well, yes, I finally met someone who is a bit interesting." Sun Shao nodded with emotion: "Well, if you dare to ask Mozhi, how many kinds of birds, beasts, and insects are mentioned in this book of poems? How many kinds of fish?"
Shen Xuan was dumbfounded.He can memorize the three hundred and five poems fluently, but who would be stupid enough to count these types?
Seeing Shen Xuan deflated, Zhang Ke smiled and remained silent, and Guan Feng next to him was also expressionless.They were a little unexpected about Sun Shao's question, and felt that Sun Shao was a bit too cunning, not to mention Shen Xuan, even a doctor who studied the Book of Songs, he might not be able to tell how many kinds of birds, beasts, insects and fishes were mentioned in the Book of Songs.
"Don't know?" Sun Shao smiled triumphantly, and asked again: "Okay, let's change to a simple question. Mo Zhi must have read Guan Sui's poem, right?"
"That goes without saying." Shen Xuan gave him an angry look.
"Then may I ask, what does this watery plant look like? If you were in the market, would you be able to find the watery plant without mistake and not choose other ones by mistake?"
Shen Xuan was stunned. He thought about it carefully. He had read this poem countless times, and he generally knew what watermelon vegetables were like. But if he really wanted to explain them in detail, he really couldn't tell. According to what Sun Shao said, he went to the market to pick them. , Nine times out of ten, you will pick a mistake.
"Brother Shen is very knowledgeable, and watermelon is something you see every day. You can't guarantee that you won't make mistakes. After a hundred years or a thousand years, how many people will know what this is talking about?" Sun Shao straightened his waist , sighed with emotion: "I'm afraid I will not be able to distinguish leeks from grass by then."
Shen Xuan rolled his eyes, and smiled disdainfully: "These things are what farmers should care about. I don't know water lily, and it doesn't affect my understanding of the saint's poetry. A farmer knows water lily, but he is still a laborer. "
"That's the farmer's business?" Sun Shao sneered: "Well, let's talk about the things you gentlemen care about. Excuse me, what does the saint you talk about look like? Is it really like a lost dog? "
"How could a saint be a bereaved dog? That just shows that a saint is not tolerated by the world, how can he be limited to words." Shen Xuan was furious, "The appearance of a saint is clearly stated in the book, 'his mantle is like Yao, his Xiang-like Gaoyao, and his shoulder-like Zichan', are all in the shape of ancient sages."
"Aren't you limited to words?" Sun Shao retorted.
"Me?" Shen Xuan was speechless.
"Then explain to me, what does Yao's forehead look like? What does Gaotao's neck look like? What's so weird about Zichan's shoulders?"
"Me?" Shen Xuan was completely speechless.
"It's a pity that you have the nerve to say that you are a disciple of a sage." Sun Shao continued to beat the dog in the water, and the disdain on his face became more and more intense. He turned around and stopped looking at Shen Xuan: "There are only a few kinds of things in the world that are described in the Book of Songs." ?You study the Book of Songs every day, and you don’t even understand what the Book of Songs talks about. You don’t know anything about what the Book of Songs talks about, but you are fighting over a few words , don't you feel bored?"
Shen Xuan was driven mad by him, a little indiscriminate, and sneered: "In the opinion of the captain, you don't need to read poetry, but you should read the Classic of Mountains and Seas instead?"
"What happened to the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Sun Shao asked back: "Do you know what the Classic of Mountains and Seas talks about?"
"I don't even bother to look at such false books." The corners of Shen Xuan's eyes twitched, barely maintaining his final demeanor.
"If you don't understand, you don't understand, and you don't bother to watch it." Sun Shao curled his lips, and added a sentence very calmly: "Master has a saying, 'Knowing what you know, and what you don't know is not knowing, that is knowing'. If you don't understand, pretend to understand. What is it? You are also called observing the teachings of the saints? If the saints really want to come back to life, I am afraid that you will be mad at you."
"Ah—" Shen Xuan couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his head to the sky and howled, his usual stern demeanor was gone.
