Chapter 293: Shocked forgot to applaud?

Liao Zheng purred in his throat and whispered: "It's quite polite to me to talk to you like this today. You should think this is unscrupulous. Let Shuai Fan come to tell you, or let my junior brother tell you."

Wenxun quickly called out: "Brother Liao, why bother? We didn't intrigue the tiger... Two people investigated and saw today's scene. These four masters were exchanged for Lord Zhao. Their current scene has already been reported to Lord Zhang. Zhao Anfu is willing to do some face-saving skills and prevent outsiders from knowing it to maintain everyone's kindness. You should know what to do."

Wang Ying raised her head and drank the wine in the glass. Dong Bi hurriedly found a big cup and drank it in one breath. After the two of them poured themselves into 70% drunk, Wang Ying said viciously: "I know, I know..."

He pointed at Qin Guan with his finger and said, "Mr. Qin is still in Shaozhou today, and what I saw today is not Master Qin..."

Wang Ying pointed his hand at Huang Tingjian and continued, "Mr. Huang is in Huizhou today. I have checked it. Who said you are not in Huizhou? I am anxious with him."

Huang Tingjian was a kind man, so kind that he didn't raise his eyelids when the two inspectors came in. Wang Ying said for a long time, but he did not stop talking to his genius. Instead, his genius looked up from time to time. Seeing the two inspectors talking, the genius wanted to reconcile the atmosphere, and then coughed lightly. Huang Tingjian said "Yes" in his throat. The genius immediately swallowed the words and continued to tease Huang Tingjian.

Chao Buzhi patted his big belly and tried his best to ease the atmosphere on the scene: "Of course, today we are in love with the romance, and we will leave the rest to my junior brother, so we don't care."

Dong Bi could figure it out now, his arm could not twist his thighs. He sat in the seat, called a singer with a drunken eyes, and teased, "I think someone has such a great power, but he actually mobilized troops to surround the entire Yuekui Tower and laughed inside. It turned out that it was Qin Guan, Qin Shaoyou, Qin Shaoyou, and only Qin scholars have such a great temperament..."

Wenxun explained in his ear: "The four adults helped Lord Zhao write a manuscript the day before yesterday so that Lord Zhao could give a speech on the Winter Solstice Festival, and after some fatigue, he would come out to relax. The guards at the door prevented outsiders from coming in... Well, when several bachelors gathered together, it was inevitable that they would write poems and compose music. The soldiers at the door would help the bachelors clean up the scene afterwards."

Wenxun's words explain how he found this place. He knew in advance that several bachelors were writing articles for Zhao Xing. By the way, he also knew that Qin Guan, a romantic man who was happy all day long, was about to come up with a relaxing news. Maybe Qin Guan had an appointment with him. Seeing Wenxun's familiarity, it was probably not the first time such a party. The reason why the news was not leaked before was because the team of soldiers at the door was strictly blocked.

Among the demon-suppressing army, some of them were Yi people and soldiers recruited by Zhao Xing from Guangxi. Zhao Xing visited these ethnic minority soldiers from house to house. Therefore, in the eyes of those barbarians, they did not have the concept of the court, but only knew that the sky and earth were great. Zhao Daguan's biggest official was the biggest. These barbarians had a strength: they were good at pretending to be stupid. Even if they were not invited, even if they were the big officials, they could not understand Song's words and then turned everything back. With them guarding the door, Qin Guan's fun and fun were not known. Afterwards, they would confiscate all the treasures left by the literati gathering. So all the written evidence was destroyed.

Without written evidence, the news can only be passed on by word of mouth, and the news passed on by word of mouth is estimated to be spreading from Guangzhou City for a hundred years.

After listening to Wenxun's explanation, the two inspectors patted their belts together, saying that they were open and honest, and there was no pen and ink around their waists. They also expressed their voices in a stack of voices: "I will never write poetry today! What a joke? I'm fiddling with poetry in front of the Sixth Scholar of Sumen. Isn't that a scolding? I will never write a word today."

Li Gefei shook his head and said inexplicably: "Okay, this song is good. I sing it and feel relieved in my heart."

Wang Ying raised the wine glass, then poured another cup on his own, and while drunk, he shouted unrestrainedly: "Come on, sing a song. I heard that Yuekui Tower is unique in singing and dancing. Today I climbed to Yuekui Tower for the first time. Yuekui, that girl is Yuekui, here to sing a song for me."

As for Dong Bi, this guy just wants to get himself drunk as soon as possible. He felt that the world was collapsed. He originally wanted to come to Guangdong and Guangxi, criticizing anyone he wanted to criticize and punish, and dealing with anyone he didn't like. Unexpectedly, he was the one who was dismissed. Now, he actually sat in the same hall with the prisoners under surveillance and enjoying singing and dancing together - enjoying singing and dancing in a strict vigilance. This situation made him feel unspeakable, but he did not dare to get angry, so he had to be lucky with the wine and food.

After this loud shout, the two inspectors didn't know how they returned to the official residence. At noon the next day, Dong Bi, who was still hangover and had a split headache, was greeted, saying that it was the Winter Solstice Festival, the students in Guangzhou were preparing for the high ceremony, invited him to attend, and agreed to escort him to Guilin afterwards...

On the Winter Solstice Festival, another year of "Caishou Master" has begun.

After commemorating the great sage teacher Confucius, Zhao Xing brought the academic edicts of various prefectures to thank the gentry who donated money to support the education this year, and then published the "Encouragement Order" in the Mingtang of the Guangzhou Prefectures.

Local officials cannot formulate laws, and the power to formulate laws lies with the emperor. Zhao Xing, the local official, could only issue local administrative orders, so it is called "supporting orders for learning". But this order for learning is actually equivalent to a local rule, and its content is equivalent to the modern "Compulsory Education Law".

In this article, Zhao Xing quoted Professor Master’s 72 disciples to spread the precedent of civilized fire to common peoples, and called on parents of children to send children of appropriate age to the prefectures. The prefectures in various places should give every child fairly the "right to education" in accordance with the attitude of "teaching but not distinction".

In his article, Zhao Xing criticized the phenomenon of hiring child labor in Guangdong and announced that he would punish these behaviors. There is no provision in the Song Dynasty's criminal law that prohibits the employment of child labor, so this punishment is not a punishment from a legal perspective. Zhao Xing planned to erect two monuments, with the inscriptions engraved with the names of the employed child laborers, one of which was placed at the door of the person's house to show humiliation. The other monument was hidden in the local prefectures and allowed local scholars to despise them.

After moral pressure, Zhao Xing also made compensation for the children in school. Because in this era, children are usually one of the laborers, because when they go to school, people in poor places may have a single income and have to support their children to study. Once they go out and go, many poor families may not be able to support them. Therefore, Zhao Xing publicly stated in his order to encourage students: As long as he is in office, each child in school will not only not charge tuition fees, but the government will also compensate.

Among them, one compensation is to allocate funds to the school and the school. For each student recruitment of one student, the Transport Department, and the Management Department of the Ministry of Management. In addition, private forces can also apply for their own school management. Similarly, each student recruited, the government will provide a certain amount of subsidy.

In addition, Zhao Xing also announced that the children would pay for transportation fees and milk money to their children. For families who send their children to school, the local government will reduce and exempt agricultural taxes. Zhao Xing also promised that as long as there are children in their families to go to school, the treatment of the children's family will be given to the children's family according to the Immunity Law. The children's family will be exempted from labor.

Four college students joined forces to attack. This article was written very magnificently. When talking about the miserable hiring of child labor, reading it made people cry. When the government worked hard to give children various conveniences so that they could read and read. It made people excited...

After the "Encouragement Order" was issued, it was the turn of the annual regular speech. As the highest local official, Zhao Xing took a deep breath and swept the students in the audience. He looked at the officials in the stands and said calmly: "I used to talk about the use of etiquette and harmony in Lianzhou....' Later, everyone asked me to talk about the "Six Arts of Gentlemen" - etiquette, music, archery, stewardship, books, and numbers.

Before talking about the "Six Arts of Gentlemen", let me talk about animals first - how can human virtues become the spirit of all things? In terms of vision, humans cannot compare to eagles; in terms of smell, humans are inferior to dogs; in terms of strength, humans are inferior to bears; in terms of courage, humans are inferior to tigers; in terms of agility, humans are inferior to antelope and horses; in terms of endurance, humans are inferior to camels; in terms of flying, humans are inferior to birds; in terms of swimming, humans are inferior to fish.

However, people have become the spirit of all things, located at the top of the food chain, and beasts are crawling at their feet. Let us enjoy it. Their meat is not delicious, and we still dislike it. Including the tiger meat of the King of All Beasts, why?

That is when people can create and people have creativity.

In terms of vision, people are indeed inferior to eagles, but people can invent clairvoys and telescopes to make themselves see farther than eagles; in terms of smell, people are indeed inferior to dogs. However, people can create domestication techniques and domesticate dogs to sniff things for us; in terms of strength, people are indeed inferior to bears. However, the "Mo Jing" records pulleys and crowbars. Pullwheels can lift heavy objects that cannot even bears move. Crowbars - A person from the West said: Give me a fulcrum and I can pry the entire earth. Bears will not say this, so they become our meal on the plate.

In terms of courage, people are not as good as tigers, but people invented swords, guns, bows and arrows, so that tigers can see that we all run away; in terms of agility, people are not as good as antelope and horses, but now horses are domestic animals for us to ride, and antelope is the delicious food in our plate; in terms of endurance, people are not as good as camels, but camels are led by people through the vast desert, from Chang'an to black-clothed food; in terms of swimming, people are not as good as fish, but people can build big boats to catch big fish; in terms of flying, people are not as good as birds, but I think one day we will invent a carriage in the sky, flying higher and farther than birds.

Why are we inferior to animals and birds, but we are superior to animals and birds in everything? It is because we have creativity. Our creativity distinguishes us from animals and animals, making us the spirit of all things - I think the "Six Arts of Gentlemen" is also the "Six Arts of Gentlemen" that weighed creativity in ancient times. Every requirement of it is to distinguish us from animals and to maintain our own creativity.

Let’s talk about ‘ritual’ first. We all know that nature is the prey of the weak. For example, in the water, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat river shrimp, and river shrimp eat mud. This is the harshness of nature. Being a river shrimp is sad, but being a human being is different. People are the spirit of all things. In order to maintain their competitive competitiveness and to allow every outstanding talent to get a fair and stand out, we have formulated social rules, which are ‘ritual’. For example, our imperial examination.

The imperial examination can guarantee: no matter who you are born, no matter who your parents are, as long as you have a head, you will have the opportunity to learn knowledge. As long as you learn better than others, you will have the opportunity to stand out and become a big fish - the emperor values ​​heroes, articles teach you, and Zhu Ziyi in the court, are all scholars. Reading is the path to progress, this is the "rule" and the rule that encourages people to improve. If you can't learn these rules, they can't formulate them, so they are the food in our territory.

The ancients put "ritual" first, which shows the ancients' emphasis on social rules. This rule is the manifestation of what the ancients call "ethics". Ethics stipulates the role of everyone and the responsibilities that everyone should fulfill, and also stipulates the path of everyone's struggle. With rules constraints, human beings can be numerous without chaos. Each performs its duties and divides the labors in detail. For example, the farmer's task is to grow land and produce grain; craftsmen are responsible for construction, civil servants are responsible for transporting grain, women are responsible for giving birth to children and raising children; soldiers are responsible for resisting foreign invasions and defending their homes. Among them, no one can be picky, because the regulations are clear, and there is no dispute or internal friction. Everyone does their best, each one is in their own position, and cooperates with each other. This is the so-called well-off society, a harmonious society.

Well, I have talked too much about "ritual". Let's talk about "music". The beauty of heaven and earth can be felt by birds and beasts. But they cannot record it. What they record is painting and music. Only humans can do this.

The birds chirp in the ground is so melodious and pleasant, and the voices of the people are not as good as those of the earth. So we invented singing, and we can creatively simulate birds singing. We can record the sounds of wind, waves, and water, and write various sounds of the world into songs. This is not enough, we also created music. Use music to carry the sound of nature around us and appreciate it at all times.

Not only that, we can also record our lives. We have created operas and zajus, recording our joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys in life, and always appreciate them, and always taste them.... This thing cannot be done by birds and beasts, and ordinary people cannot do it. Only a "gentleman" can do it. A gentleman can carry the beauty of nature, the worries, pains and joys of life by his side, and take it out to relive, appreciate it at any time, and use it to warn later generations. Therefore, the ancients defined "joy" as the "gentleman's art". A gentleman experiences the beauty of life through this method.

The "shoot" in the Six Arts reflects the ability of people to hunt and hunt food. I want to interpret this as the ability to make a living and the ability to support a family - As we all know, the ancients spoke more frugal. A word and a word often contain many meanings. This is because there were not many vocabulary in ancient times, and more things must be described with limited words.

In ancient times, people's most basic means of making a living was hunting, so the skill of "shooting" represents the ability to support their families. Now, supporting their families no longer just rely on "shooting" techniques, but there are many living skills. I will say it in detail here, because I have to say it in detail, and I can't finish a book.

It should be noted that the gentleman who was called the ancients is generally called "the best man". Such people should not live in poverty, but why are some of us "village scholars" poor and even worse than farmers - this is what I want to say "book".

Both bears and tigers do not know how to write books. Their life experience depends on their parents' teachings or personal experiences. For example, a bear passes by a crumbling stone. A gust of wind blows, and the stone falls and hits the bear's head. So the bear knows, "Don't walk under the shaking stone." People don't need this, and people don't need stones to hit their heads, only then they know that they can't move down there. Because people have books, the books record the experience summarized by their predecessors.

Some people say that "book" means writing and calligraphy. However, what I have repeatedly emphasized just now is creativity. Our ancestors created words and had the ability to write down the experiences they gained creatively, so they became books. This is a kind of creation rather than a copy. This is what distinguishes people from animals. If a single word is well written and calligraphy is good, it is not creation, but copying.

Not long ago, I was listening to music in my mansion. Lord Dong Bi, the Guangxi inspector, told me that this song was originally called "Huaiyang Pingchu", with eighteen pieces, now called "Ten Sides" and "Chu Han", with thirteen pieces. The thirteen pieces that later existed were not lost, but were adapted. Later generations learned and adapted the songs made by predecessors, which were better than those made by predecessors. This is the difference between a person and a bear, which cannot be done by the bear. How his parents gave him to prey, it will only do as he does, and will never adapt it.

Unfortunately, the "village scholar" is often a group of people who want to be beasts and are determined not to be beasts. They always find one or two sentences from the books that their fathers record in the book, telling us that they have made major discoveries from the ancients' words and sentences, and finally know when and how the ancients did it, and today's people must strictly follow the old friends' methods.

Their behavior, the ability to search for chapters and sentences in the old paper, just lost its most valuable creativity..."

In fact, the "book" in the Six Arts of the gentleman originally mentioned writing ability, but Zhao Xing explained it here as recording ability. Or learning ability from the experience of his predecessors. If Su Shi is there, he will definitely call Zhao Xing ignorant, but Su Shi is not there. Everyone present knows that Zhao Laohu is called "unable to provoke". The truth he said sounds quite reasonable and makes people relish.

Zhao Xing changed his tone and immediately continued: "So. What is the correct learning method? This is the "control" in the "Six Arts of Gentleman".

Some people say that this "harmony" is equivalent to "harmony", which refers to the skills of driving a carriage - I think what he said is right. In the era of Confucius, there were no horse carriages, it was clearly only ox carriages and two legs. But now we have horse carriages, and the horse riding technique born after King Wuling of Zhao's "Hu Clothing and Crafting"... The times are changing. Now horse carriages and horse riding are our means of transportation. Will we create a means of transportation that does not use horses or cattle, and does not eat grass at all, rely on the power of machinery to drive automatically? It is hard to say. So, does this harmony mean the ability to control this iron vehicle?

I just said: One day, people may invent a machine to fly in the sky, higher and farther than a bird. So is this "harmony" talking about the ability to control the iron bird? Or is it difficult to say that it is the ability to control the automatic walking machine?

I think the Master’s subtle meaning is that we understand the Master’s words. It should be in line with this era. In the Master’s life, what are horse carriages and ox carriages? They are vehicles. What is the use of vehicles? It is to make people’s range of activities larger. When people’s range of activities are larger, they will see more things and more life phenomena. Therefore, this ‘control’ should reflect people’s ability to obtain external information, or the ability to control knowledge.

Controlling knowledge is for creation. The ancients said that "control" is for discovering, discovering more new things, and discovering a broader world. When we master the purpose of "The Six Arts of Gentlemen", we need to remind ourselves. We must give ourselves the ability to read the outside world as much as possible. Make correct judgments from sufficient information, which is the behavior of a gentleman.

Searching for chapters and sentences in the pile of old papers. That is repetition, and beasts are like this. Generation after generation, repeating what their parents did. So although they see farther than us, have greater strength than us, and have better swimming than us, they are ultimately beasts, not humans. However, people can create new things from experience and constantly innovate, so people have become the spirit of all things.

However, not all people in the land can make new things. Some people live like beasts. They get up in the morning, finish their meals, work hard, and return to bed at night. Day after day, day after day, but gentlemen, which is what everyone calls "people-man", transcend the life of beasts because they have creativity. They create, so they see farther than eagles, have greater strength than tigers, and walk faster in the water than fish - this is "people-man".

The reason why they become ‘people’ is because they are better at creating than animals.

I don’t want to say the number in the “Six Arts of Gentlemen”, because the calculation ability is like the eyes of an eagle, the claws of a tiger, and the hooves of a horse. It is an organ of the “Superman”. If you are born as a “Superman”, you must first know how to calculate the population of your family, and then learn to calculate the industry in your family, so that the assets in your family will continue to increase, and your life will be above everyone else. This is a gentleman.

If you are lucky enough to manage a county, or if you don’t become an official and go to a big shopkeeper in a big shop, you must also know mathematical calculations. If you don’t know this, you are also equivalent to the general public and the beast, because even animals can’t calculate.

Therefore, the "Six Arts of Gentlemen" according to the characteristics of our era should be interpreted as: Etiquette: a person who knows how to abide by the rules, a person who knows to respect the rules and uses the rules to live in harmony with others; Joy: a person who knows how to appreciate the beauty of life, a person who knows how to appreciate the strengths of others, and a person who is in the environment you are in - including the humanistic environment, neighborhood environment, and is in harmony with, and always feels happy. His happiness has infected the people around him, so that everyone regards him as a gentleman.

In addition, he should also be a person who has the means of making a living (shooting), who can hunt enough life resources for himself, and make his family rich and abundant; a person who knows how to control knowledge, a person who knows how to obtain external knowledge and has the initiative to understand the world (shooting); a person who is good at learning from the experience of his predecessors and knows to record the experience he has gained and impart it as knowledge to his companions, descendants, and fellow compatriots (books).

He should also be a person who knows how to live within his or her own means, knows how to calculate, and understands all kinds of knowledge in life. Such a person is a gentleman! Only such a person is the 'highest person' and is qualified to stand above everyone and look down on the people..."

Zhao Xing talked jokingly. After he finished speaking, the audience was silent. Zhao Xing stood on the stage and was stunned for a long time, unable to hear the applause, and he went down embarrassedly.

In the audience, Wan Qi Yong stared at Zhao Xing and blinked his eyes frequently. Shuai Fan's face turned red and his lips squirmed frequently. Behind the two, the Fourth Sumen Scholar hid behind the curtain on the podium, and both stared at Zhao Xing with wide mouths. Zhao Xing said to Shuai Fan in a depressed mood: "It won't be bright, my knife has not been polished."

When Zhao Xing arrived at this era, he also learned to maintain his sword every day according to the etiquette of the Tang people, that is, according to the etiquette of the modern Japanese people. He told Shuai Fan that he "don't do it" means that this speech was screwed up and that what he said was too far beyond this era, so that no one could understand it.

The Fourth Sumen Master seemed to have never heard of his words. They opened their mouths wide, their dull eyes were empty and without focal length. Shuai Fan's lips trembled for a long time and immediately replied: "Where, your words were deafening. The audience was not unaware of the wonderfulness of these words, but they forgot to cheer for them in shock - history will record this moment, and your new interpretation of the "Six Arts of Gentlemen" will be recorded in history. The audience in the audience witnessed this moment, and they just didn't have time to worship this passage."
