Chapter 380 Game Theory and the Doctrine of the Mean

The former site of this academy was built in the Zhenyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (785-804), named Bao'en Temple. It was originally renamed from the right-sponsor Zhou Mu of Zhejiang to Wansong Academy in the 19th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1498). The Ming Dynasty agent Wang Yangming once gave lectures here, so it is named Xian.

Zhao Xing is a man who wears ancient men's skin to do modern things. He is even more brave than the Ming Dynasty. He directly seeks a crime and drives away the monks in the temple to another place. At present, with the efforts of 20,000 stonemasons, this Wansong Academy has been roughly formed in just one year. It covers an area larger than the original Wansong Academy.

As soon as the academy enters the gate, it is Yangsheng Gate, and then there is Yucui Gate. "Yangsheng" means people's respect and admiration for Confucius' "high mountains and above". This Yangsheng Gate also reminds people to be neatly dressed and respectful to the academy. The Yucui Gate is the second gate on the central axis. Yucui means to cultivate knowledgeable and moral people.

The second entry of the academy is Mingdao Hall: it is one of the main buildings of Wansong Academy. Ancient academy assumed the three functions of lectures, sacrifices and collection of books. The three entry is Dacheng Hall, which is the place to commemorate the most sage teacher Confucius. Just now, Zhang Yi lit the beacon to commemorate the Master in Dacheng Hall, which means that the Master spreads culture to the common people and brings light to the common people.

"The towering towering is called 'Hua', and the pavilion and vast houses are called 'Xia', which is not magnificent and grand, and it is worthy of its 'Hua' - this is China." Zhang Yi couldn't help but praise him as he looked at the library, school building, and the Dacheng Hall behind him.

"This is creation. Only creation can conquer. Conquering people's hearts starts from here," Zhao Xing catered to it.

Zhang Yi high-high: "Zhao Zong said it wonderfully. All the talents in the world are in the competition, which is very satisfying!"

What Zhao Xing said is that he has recently established many colonies in Nanyang. If the colonists want to maintain their centripetal force towards China, they can only use continuous innovation and use creativity that they cannot reach to convince them, so that they can fall to the feet of the Song Dynasty in a pretentious way. What Zhang Yi said is that there are constant party struggles and schools of thought. If you want to confirm the advantages of your school, you must conquer the hearts of scholars all over the world.

This is actually one thing. Zhao Xing was rooted in the Song Dynasty. What he wanted to change the most was the Song Dynasty. This person who was extremely good at leveraging the power overseas was to influence the Song Dynasty. In turn, he used his plan to influence the Southeast Asian country with his endless creativity...

After a conversation, Zhang Yi and Zhao Xing cherish each other, and Zhao Xing invited: "Zhang Zong. I have nothing to do, can I go to Xi Academy to give lectures for a year or two?"

Zhao Xing and Zhang Yi formed each other with "Zhong" and respectfully called each other the heads of the founding sect. For scholars, the title with a slightly lower status than "Zhong" is "Shanchang". Zhao Xing and Zhang Yi were actually both mountain chiefs. Because neither of them was the founders of the sect in name. As for the word "staying in twentie", it originally meant that the king stayed temporarily, but later Buddhism used it to call the temporary preaching of the monks, and later. Its meaning is equivalent to the temporary preaching of scholars.

Zhang Yi was dressed simply. He was wearing a thick cloth dress, his hair was washed white, and he was simply tied with a cloth belt around his waist and an ordinary bachelor's hat on his head. This simple outfit is a sharp contrast with Zhao Xing, who has always been dressed in particular. Zhao Xing was dressed in gorgeous Shu brocade, and his belt was still the same "skin belt", but it was covered with gems. The belt buckle was also replaced with 18k gold. The polished floor was as smooth as a mirror. In addition, Zhao Xing also carried a shoulder-type gun bag on his back, and two well-made short guns were inserted on the left and right. He was wearing a brocade hat, and he held a mahogany carved crutch at a young age. However, no one underestimated this crutch. Now, all the civil and military ministers in the court knew that the crutch in Zhao Xing's hand was actually a knife.

Zhang Yi, dressed in plain clothes, stood beside Zhao Xing. However, he did not have the kind of down-looking eyes as a civilian. He clapped happily and said: "I heard that Guangnan's 'demonic studies' are more mixed with Nanyang knowledge, and even many Western knowledge. I see that your library contains more than a thousand foreign books, and I am planning to borrow some of them. I can read and learn here, which is very comforting to me."

"The bells of Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City were heard in the middle of the night when the bells came to the passenger ship - Hanshan Temple was particularly cold. I built a professor's residence opposite Hanshan Temple, which was specially reserved for the professors who gave lectures, so I named it the "Hanshe". Zhang Zong was willing to stay for lectures, so I turned around and arranged a room for you in the Huanshe."

Zhang Yi was overjoyed: "That's better. At midnight, I wandered around the shore of Fengqiao and listened to the bells of Hanshan Temple. It was very good!"

After a moment of pause, Zhang Yi sighed again and said, "My teacher once said: A gentleman is indifferent to achieve success, while a villain is willing to damage it - the world helps it to benefit its beauty, but my gentleman is indifferent to tasteless. If you get the true taste, you will die.

Since my husband's death, I have never seen a gentleman. Isn't it pleasant to see him today!"

Zhang Yi said that his teachers Cheng Yi and Su Dongpo didn't like each other. The teacher was a scheming person and was boring in his behavior. This is what he said was bland and bland, and gentlemen were like a gentleman. After the teacher died, everyone thought that he was a servant, so he disrespected him very much. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yi, the disciple of his enemy, invited him to give lectures at such a grand Wansong Academy. This is the gentleman's demeanor and does not reject knowledge because of personal prejudice, so Zhang Yi praised Zhao Xing's demeanor very much.

Zhang Yi was a servant. In the Song Dynasty, on the one hand, he enjoyed the reputation of the school clan, but on the other hand, he was also excluded by the world. Because of his origin, later generations even belittled him intentionally or unintentionally. There is no record of his origin in history, and he was known to future generations because of Su Ding.

It was precisely because of Su Ding that Zhao Xing dared not bear Zhang Yi's praise. When Cheng Yi was alive, he could not say that he was disliked Su Shi at all times. Sometimes he even framed and did everything he could do. However, after his death, Su Shi's son was able to study from Zhang Yi with open heart, and because of Su Ding's existence, history records Zhang Yi's existence.

Compared to Su Shi's personal charm, Zhao Xing was inferior to himself. Compared to Su Shi's mind, Zhao Xingwei, who liked to retaliate with vengeance, was ashamed. He hurriedly changed the topic and invited him: "Zhang Zong, the students have been waiting in front of the hall for a long time. Let's go quickly."

There is an open space in front of Yangsheng Gate. This open space is not large, but it is enough to open it into a stadium. A flat concrete road surrounds the open space in front of Yangsheng Gate and forms a character "更". In the center of Hui is a large area of ​​grassland - the grass court.

Hundreds of students quietly surrounded the stadium, and there were eleven students in the center of the venue. They followed the customs of the Song Dynasty Cuju team. Goals were erected on both sides of the stadium. There were not cross bars above the goal, but romantic eyes.

This is a football field built with modern standards. It is 110 meters long and 22 meters wide. The goal height is strictly set according to the height and width of modern football goals. Strictly speaking, Cuju, which has added many rules of competition, is no longer Cuju in the original sense. It is closer to modern football, with less entertainment, confrontation and competitive added a lot.

The ball was placed in the middle of the field, and the players on both sides stood outside the center circle according to the modern football team's competition. Zhao Xing bowed and invited: "Zhang Zong. You first!"

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "One is enough, how can we repeat it again and again?"

Zhang Yi's words meant: He had already lit the beacon in front of the statue of the Supreme Saint in Dacheng Hall, how could he take the lead again and kick off the ball for Wansong Academy.

Zhao Xing was not polite either. He took off his official robe, exposed his short beating inside the official robe, walked to Cuju field, and gently hooked it to the first ball for Cuju team. The ball was kicked high, and the players of the red and black teams on both sides of the central circle shouted and rushed to the football in the air. In the chaos, there was no idea which team player held Zhao Xing's shoulder and jumped in the air, using his head to compete for the football in the air, his movements were like headers in later generations.

This was in the Song Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty, it was legal to grab the ball even if it was stepping on the emperor's shoulders. No emperor would punish the other party for "great disrespect". Zhao Xing was pushed to the ground by the chaotic team members. He lay on the grass with a depressed look on his face, and countless feet stepped past him. He never thought that he was the second-rank grand lieutenant of the dynasty.

The Cuju competition in the Song Dynasty was similar to modern basketball games, and many beauties cheered and encouraged the court. Although there was no such thing as "football treasure" these days, every time Cuju government officials wanted to order official prostitutes as a decoration for this sport. Hangzhou was prosperous. There were no less than a thousand official prostitutes with the title of famous prostitutes, and there were three or four hundred red cards around the stadium. Some of them were not shown, but some were unwilling to be interested in the unknown famous prostitutes. As the ball grab began, the famous prostitutes screamed in unison, waving the colorful silk and satin in their hands, singing and dancing. No one paid attention to the second-rank official of the dynasty who was lying underground and full of footprints, and the first general of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xing did not feel embarrassed at all. He didn't blush and his heart was beating. He ran to the sidelines happily and smiled at Zhang Yi: "Youthful, so enviable!"

Zhang Yi looked at the other person, and there were footprints on the face of the person who said this. The grass was muddy, and the footprints were clearly visible, and even the seams on the soles of the shoes could be distinguished. It seemed that there was more than one footprint on the face of the Grand Marshal, but the latter smiled happily with the footprints on his face.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but tremble and blurted out: "Fortunately I didn't go to kick off! I heard that the Taiwei likes to restore the Zhou rituals and asks students to master the Six Arts. Today is to experience the enthusiasm of the Taiwei..."

After all, Zhang Yi was a servant, so he only looked at it a little, but he didn't see it. The Song Huizong in the capital was more comprehensive than he saw it. At this time, he was walking in the west garden left by Wang Shi, accompanied by Tong Guan, Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, and Tong Guan whispered to him: "After Lord Taiwei returned to Hangzhou, he seemed to have lost his enterprising spirit. He just led his children around every day. Recently, he made a college, and seemed to be planning to teach and enjoy the rest of his life."

Song Huizong shook the small fan of light Luo and beat the bees and butterflies among the flowers. This western garden is also different from the original place. Many new plants were cultivated in the courtyard. The garden was decorated with flowers and many flowers and trees were not named. It was rare trees that were hard to see in the Central Plains. Song Huizong chased butterflies and came to the Taihu stone where Su Shi once stood, looking up at the stone, and said thoughtfully: "At that time, Su Zizhan once painted a strange stone in ancient trees, right?"

Cai Jing stepped forward in a small step and commented in an elegant manner in the most authoritative tone: "The officials, in the Suzhou area of ​​Hangzhou, all wealthy families like to decorate the garden with Taihu stones. If the officials like it, they could have ordered people in Suzhou, Hangzhou to offer flower stones."

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, looked at the rockery in front of him with a childish face, and suddenly turned the topic back: "I heard that Li Jie is a disciple of Zhao Qing and studying physics, right?"

Cai Jing waved his sleeves with a cool wave, and Tianqing replied calmly: "Wansong Academy was established, and Brother Li published several new books he wrote in Guangzhou. As a college textbook, he invited well-known scholars of Guanxue and Luoxue to discuss. I heard that these books caused a lot of sensation. For a while, Luoyang paper was expensive."

Zhao Ji asked interestedly: "What are you all... I often heard that Zhao Qing devoted himself to learning in Guangnan and wrote several books very much. Unfortunately, he was not published in the world. This time he was finally willing to take it out. What are you all?"

When the Wansong Academy was opened, Zhao Xing invited Guan Xue and Luo Xue, but he ignored the Wang Anshi school. Even Xie Lin from both lakes sent students from his school to the north, while the Wang Anshi Jiangning school was completely ignored. This move greatly increased the momentum of the old party in the court and increased the popularity of people. Cai Jing, who was the new party, was a little unhappy and believed that as a friend, Zhao Xing should not do so. But now the little emperor's words made him shocked.

Zhao Xing wrote books in Guangzhou, and this matter was only mentioned in a private message with Cai Jing. Since these books were not published, outsiders only knew that Zhao Xing supported the exiled Yuanyou Party to write books, but instead ignored him. Now, even the little emperor was familiar with the past when Zhao Xing wrote books in Guangzhou, which made Cai Jing awaken. It turned out that this little emperor was also one of Zhao Xing's close friends, so it was not good. Due to Wang Shi's entrusting, the little emperor had a much closer relationship with Zhao Xing than Cai Jing and Zhao Xing before he ascended the throne.

Cai Jing bowed and replied cautiously: "Brother Li Ren released the number of books this time, which were written by him in Guangnan for six years. Among them are short mathematical theories, brief description of physics, and the study of change (chemistry). The most amazing one among these books is the art of derivation (inference). People say that this is the first of all kinds of knowledge and call it the 'basis of wisdom'."

Zhao Ji said oh, and at this time he worked hard to finally catch a colorful butterfly. He carefully took out a piece of paper, folded it, and clamped the butterfly in the paper, handed it to Tong Guan while winking: "Let me go back and give it to Miss Shishi."

Tong Guan took the butterfly. Zhao Ji clapped his hands and continued, "In terms of the times, Zhao Qing's Zhou Ji should come. He will definitely show me a book, as a child companion. He will turn around and ask Ma Duguan (Ma Mengde) and ask him to find out the books to show me."

Before Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he called Zhao Xing Uncle Zhao, but it was different after ascending the throne. Confucianism emphasizes "selflessness of the heavenly family", and the emperor is supreme, and even his father-in-law had to kowtow to him to meet the rules of the ruler and his ministers. Therefore, after ascending the throne, Zhao Ji no longer called Zhao Xing Uncle, but only used "Zhao Qing" as a honorary title - this is what modern times say, "the butt determines the head". When the butt sits, the fixed thinking pattern will be extended according to the fixed pattern.

Speaking of Zhao Xing's "Dayan Derivation Technique", Cai Jing remembered a detail in the book that Zhao Xing had talked to him before. He smiled and said, "There is a story in this Dayan Derivation Technique, which is very interesting. Do the officials want to hear it?"

Cai Jing showed his intimacy with Zhao Xing, and Zhao Ji was interested in urging him: "Let's talk!"

Cai Jing nodded and said, "The story says: In a small town in Huanqingdi, three archers are engaged in a life-and-death duel. According to regulations, the winner can win a female lady - the female lady that all three like.

In the story, Gunner A's shooting skills are accurate, with eight shots of ten shots; Gunner B's shooting skills are also good, with six shots of ten shots; Gunner C's shooting skills are poor, with four shots of ten shots. Now ask - if three people shoot arrows at the same time, who has a better chance of surviving?"

Zhao Ji thought for a moment and answered confidently: "Of course, the archer armor skills are extraordinary and can win."

Cai Jing chuckled: "The book says: If you think it is a gunman armor with accurate marksmanship, the result may surprise you; the one who is most likely to survive is C - the guy with the worst marksmanship."

Before Zhao Ji could speak, Tong Guan widened his eyes, his burly body thrust out, and asked loudly: "How can this be done? It's outrageous!"

Gao Qiu, who had not spoken just now, smiled faintly. Cai Jing turned to the former Su Shi's little history and asked condescendingly: "Have you heard of this story, too? Why not tell it."

Gao Qiu yelled twice and replied: "I have heard of this story. This theory is called 'Game Theory'. Zhao Liren believes that everything can be measured, so the shade of the three people can be calculated using the numerical method.

Assuming that these three people hate each other and it is impossible to reach an agreement, then as archer A, he must shoot archer B. This is his best strategy, because this person poses the greatest threat. In this way, his first arrow will not be able to aim at C. Similarly, archer B will also regard A as the first target, and it is very clear. Once A is killed, he will have a greater chance of winning against C in the next round (if there is another round) against C. On the contrary, even if he fights C first, even if he survives to the next round, it will be more inauspicious to face off against A.

What about C? Of course, you have to shoot at A, because no matter what, Bowman B is worse than A (although it is still better than yourself). If you have to fight someone in the next match, choose Gunner B, and your chances of winning are a little greater than that of A.

Therefore, after the first round of arrows, A's chances of surviving were pitifully few, 24% (accuracy rate 0.4*0.6=0.24), B's is 20%, C's is 100% - through probability analysis, you will find that C is likely to become the winner in this round. Even if an opponent survives fortunately, it is not sure to win in the next round of matchup..."

After Gao Qiu said this, everyone was calm in the principle mentioned by "game theory". After a long time, when everyone calmed down from the shock, Gao Qiu continued: "Everything can be measured - this story tells us: in multi-person games, some strange things often happen, and lead to unexpected endings. Whether one side can win depends not only on its strength, but also on the complex relationship caused by the strength comparison. Mathematical calculations tell us: those with outstanding talents create history, while those with mediocre things survive to reproduce their descendants."

Cai Jing laughed, and he explained meaningfully: "Only the mediocre people reproduce their descendants - Zhao Liren is telling the world that he has no strange intentions."

Gao Qiu shook his head gently: "No, the example of Huanqing he gave is said to have been released. Hangzhou students are discussing the three-party game between Xixia, Liao and Song, and discussing how to win with game theory..."

After a moment of pause, Gao Qiu added meaningfully: "Maybe, there is also a newly rising female straight man!"

Song Huizong and Cai Jingdu were present calmly in the truth mentioned in game theory. Cai Jing only murmured two words: "Mean! Mean!"

Tong Guan was relatively simple in his mind, and he muttered unintentionally: "Can the game be a party fight?"

Zhao Ji murmured in a low voice: "The way of university is to be clear about virtue, to be close to the people, to stop at the highest good, and to care about the doctrine of the mean... It turns out that according to game theory, the doctrine of the mean wins - the way of the Master is to be the best."

Everyone was calm in the association triggered by game theory. No one paid attention to the last sentence Gao Qiu added. Gao Qiu sighed and turned around to look at the West Garden where his teacher had been, and couldn't help but become crazy!

A few months ago, Zhao Xing was not in the territory of the Song Dynasty. Su Shi's eldest son Su Guo rushed to the capital, hoping to meet his uncle Su Zhe and seek an official position. Gao Qiu solemnly received Su Guo, but the eunuch Liang Shicheng pretended to be Su Shi's posthumous son and took over the hospitality work with his power, hoping to make the fake come true with his enthusiasm, so that Su Guo was forced to recognize his illegitimate son.

History has changed a little. Originally, under the oppression of Liang Shicheng, Su Guo could only vaguely say it. Now with Zhao Xing's support and the protection of the soldiers of the Demon-Eliminating Army in the palace, Su Guo was unfair to say goodbye to Liang Shicheng, and then with Gao Qiu's support, he left Beijing to find Zhao Xing.

The emergence of this situation also just shows Gao Qiu's situation. Although he is now a favorite minister of the Long, he is not from the imperial examination, but because he is not from the imperial examination, he can't speak in front of the eunuch. Cai Jing's literary talent is the most important thing in the contemporary era, and there is no room for him to interrupt in this situation. At this moment, although he followed Zhao Xing's prompt and tried his best to attract the attention of the young emperor, everyone linked game theory to himself and did not think of applying it to national affairs.

Zhao Ji thought about it briefly, but what he thought of was far from the topic. He patted the rockery and couldn't help but exclaim in a worship tone: "In the past, people said that Guangnan knowledge was a demonic science. Once Zhao Qing's books were published, the status of a master of the generation was established!"

Cai Jing also agreed with this. He nodded frequently and echoed: "In the past, when I was in Yangzhou with Li Ren, I found that Brother Zhao was very good at leveraging the power. Every time he did something, he always used the things of heaven, earth, sun and moon to the fullest. From the perspective of game theory, Brother Zhao could study the technique of calculations into life-and-death battles. No wonder he was not good at doing things without any net. Every time he made a move, he could use what he should use. It was amazing!"

Cai Jing's words actually implicitly provoke, and implicitly point out that Zhao Xing was wisely terrifying. However, this was the Song Dynasty. The emperors of the Song Dynasty were never afraid of literati rebellion. The emperors after Song Shenzong were extremely paranoid, and trusting someone was almost blind. Therefore, Cai Jing's words did not arouse the little emperor's association. Instead, he said leisurely: "I heard that Hangzhou Maritime Warehouses are booming... Well, recently Zhao Qing has obtained some overseas territory for me, and I am tired of selling land."

The little emperor's words were full of self-satisfaction. Throughout history, no monarch has expanded his territory at an average rate of conquering several countries every year. At present, although the land territory of the Song Dynasty has not changed, the achievements made by the Song Dynasty in the ocean exceeded the sum of all previous monarchs. At present, the territory of the Song Dynasty has penetrated into the Indian Ocean and occupied a large area on the island of Selan. This speed of expanding territory has never been unprecedented, which made Song Huizong very proud.

"Fengheng and Yu are great, but the king will not!" Cai Jing said in a fascination.

"Oh," the little emperor turned around with interest and asked, "You will tell me!"
Chapter completed!
