Chapter 639 Neighbors

"Principles" was a major event, and Su You stayed in Zhengzhou for a few more days to discuss the matter with Zhang Zai and Cheng Xiang.

Su You told them that they must absorb nutrients from hundreds of pre-Qin scholars, inherit the writing style from the Qingli era of the Great Song Dynasty, and hold high the banner of restoration.

For example, in chemistry, it was mentioned in "Huguanzi Tailu" of the Warring States Period: "The subtle is the beginning of heaven and earth." It is also said that "heaven and earth are formed from the vitality, and all things are multiplied by heaven and earth."

This is a clear explanation of the theory of Yuan Qi. In addition to the macroscopic description of absolute continuity and non-particle nature, Yuan Qi's definition of matter actually also has a microscopic description of its particle nature and discreteness, but this has been ignored by everyone before.

Therefore, the theory of chemical elements in Neo-Confucianism actually reveals another side of ancient people’s thinking, a side that has been ignored.

And write two properties that can be proved through optical experiments.

Another example is that the entire chapter of Liezi talks about "transformation", which mentions that everything in the world has a beginning and an end, and only "that which is neither born nor transformed", that is, "Tao", can cycle and exist independently and eternally.

This thing is actually the conservation of matter.

And it covers "biochemistry" in the universe's generation system, "materialization" at the level of epistemology and realm, and "education" at the level of ethics and political and social theory. It just covers the three major philosophical discussion scopes of "Principles".

These things must be used to explain that the book "Principles" is just a large-scale excavation, inheritance and reconstruction of ancient thoughts, and it is supported by modern people's empirical evidence, and it is not fabricated out of thin air.

It was not taken seriously before because experimental methods and the development of mathematics and physics could not keep up with the height of the ideas of the sages and philosophers.

Now that we have Neo-Confucianism, we have a ladder of progress, and we can move closer to it step by step and explore the true nature of ancient people's thoughts.

Today’s thinking begins to doubt and examine the past, and our Neo-Confucianism must grasp the banner of “proven the past”!

This is actually the Song Dynasty version of Renaissance.

The witness is correct.

The shameful thing about this system is that if you want to oppose me, you must first use my method to prove that I am wrong, and then if you really prove it, congratulations, you have contributed to Neo-Confucianism.

However, Su You shamelessly called it the system's self-absorption ability, self-correction ability and self-improvement ability.

After discussing Taoism with everyone in the college for three days and impressing everyone again, Su You got up and headed to Bianjing.

When they walked outside the city, Di Yong and Tong Guan came over to say goodbye to him.

Their mission has been officially completed, and now they have to enter the palace to pay their orders.

The Song Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats jointly ruled the world, but the imperial power and the power of the prime minister representing the civilian officials have always been a contradiction.

Therefore, the emperor relied on the clan, military personnel and internal envoys as the main force to compete with the civil officials.

These three things are also the main targets of suppression by civil servants.

If this system is well balanced, he will be an emperor who does not lose his standard. If it can be used to make the people live a good life and resist foreign humiliation, he will be an emperor who will last forever.

However, there are a hundred times more foolish kings who play tricks than smart kings who play well.

The sad thing is that history is written by civil servants, so its buttocks are naturally crooked.

Many emperors who actually played pretty well were classified as faint kings because their hits defeated civil servants.

But in the eyes of Su You, a time traveler, the emperor is just a native puppet like the Buddha in the temple. At most, he can be more popular. Such an emperor is a good emperor.

The rest of the traffickers, soldiers, servants, even actors, singers, and prisoners are all Chinese, builders of this country, or creators and participants of history.

This is also the reason why ordinary people like Su You and think he is amiable, because he is more people-friendly than Da Su.

Dasu is soft-hearted and doesn't want to see anyone suffering. This boy is now supervising the opening of the Salt River. He thinks that opening the river in winter will "not have enough farmland, which will hinder farming." He also said, "Working in the mud, the hard work is the same as that of a duck or a pig."

In his poems to Su Che and himself, he explained his opposition.

But Su You was different. He really believed that the scholar-bureaucrats were not superior to others, so he treated the internal officials and military men who were generally despised by the scholar-bureaucrats as equals.

Unlike Ouyang Xiu and others, they believed that the emperor's sending of internal officials to follow him was an insult to their character.

Su You, on the other hand, discussed matters on the matter and took the initiative to ask for supervision, so he was favored by Zhao Xu and the internal officials and military officials.

Di Yong said: "Jingsuo, thank you for your guidance along the way."

Su You said to Di Yong and Tong Guan: "Proficient in martial arts, good at leading troops, just a general; grasp the overall situation, understand the enemy's and our country's situation, be good at timing, understand the political situation, economy, weather, geographical location, and even history, customs, culture and education,

People's hearts, create a favorable situation for me, and finally win, this is a handsome man."

"For a general, look for opportunities to win; for a commander, create opportunities for victory."

"Since you are interested in military affairs, you can continue to work in this direction. These require learning and reading."

"Your Majesty has previously called for military experts in the court to teach the envoys the art of war. You can also go and listen."

Tong Guan disagreed: "I went to listen to it, and there was no good explanation, no sand table, and it was all false."

Su You laughed and said, "You don't understand, right? Only if you have the ability to explain others' weaknesses and then come up with something real to slap them in the face can you be qualified to criticize others. Otherwise, it will only arouse ridicule and contempt."

"My opinions are always like that. If you want to object, you can just say one, two, three, and prove that they are wrong first, and then put forward valid opinions. Just shouting in vain is called opposing for the sake of opposing, and it does not count as ability."

Tong Guan bowed: "Jing Lue is right, Tong Guan has been taught."

Su You naturally stretched out her hand and reached it above his shoulder. Suddenly thinking about this baby's future, she couldn't help but feel stunned, feeling that she was a little drifting off.

But in the end, I still took the picture: "The national situation is difficult, Xixia, Liao, and the Sui coins are forcing the Song Dynasty to breathe. Without Youyun in my hand, the Song Dynasty can only let others come and go."

"What can we rely on to solve the problem? It can only be solved by military means in the end."

"So, let's work together."

The two of them were greatly encouraged and even a little grateful. They bowed to Su You again and left.

We can't go back to the mansion in Xiaohewan yet. Zhao Xu gave Su You a mansion, so Su You had to go there to stay first.

The stewards and servants were all appointed by the officials and had already been waiting aside.

As soon as Di Yong and others left, the manager came up and said, "Congratulations to the envoy for returning to Beijing. The mansion given by the government is in Jingfufang. The little old man has been taking care of it. It can be said that the envoy has been looking forward to coming.

"

Su You smiled and said, "Thank you, old man. Jingfufang is not far from the Su family's old house. It's just separated by Yiqiu Gate. It's quite convenient to meet old neighbors and play chess while eating."

The old steward thought Su You was joking: "The manager is really friendly."

Then Su You turned around and told Zhang Qi: "When you pass by Lao Zhou's house in a while, remember to pick up the pig legs and radish."

Zhang Qi nodded: "It's a must. In this cold weather, the first bite you take when you return to Beijing must be braised pork legs with radish."

The old manager was dumbfounded. Are these two serious?

After passing Xinzhengmen, you enter the outer city. Walk eastward along Xinzhengmen Street. On one side is Yuxiao Temple, on the other side is Dongyuan Temple, and after that is the embassy area.

After passing the embassy area, Su You called to Zhang Qi and others: "Get off your horse, get off your horse, it's such a big pomp, it won't make the neighbors laugh."

Then he called to Shi Wei: "Where's the flat jar? Take the flat jar out, it's my turn!"

It is now the end of the year, and every family is preparing for the New Year. A little kid is riding a bamboo horse and playing around on the street outside Yiqiumen. He suddenly sees Shi Wei, and then looks at Su You: "Are you soda?"

Su You went up and slapped the naughty kid on the butt: "Uncle Su! Hey, he has missing teeth and air leaks!"

The little kid turned around and ran away, not forgetting to control the bamboo horse on his crotch with the posture of a cavalry: "Red Ling urgent report - soda water is back - Tanhua Lang is back -"

Su Youzhan straightened up and said with emotion: "There are so many incidents in the West that even the children know that Hong Ling needs to report urgently."

Sun Neng said: "Teacher, fortunately these two years have been good news."

Su You took the flat can from Shi Wei's hand: "Yes, fortunately it's all good news."

Outside Yiqiu's gate, all the men, women, old and young at home walked out and looked at Su You who was walking towards him with a smile: "Oh, I'm really back!"

"Mingrun has grown a beard!"

"I'm still holding the baby in my hands! Come here quickly and let everyone take a look!"

"Who said Tanhua can't do it?! I hugged this fat boy... This child looks so happy!"
