Li Yunze, who comes from the modern world, knows very clearly that it is not impossible to talk about morality, character, and self-cultivation.

But these things should be considered after meeting basic survival needs.

"If you have a solid warehouse, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace."

"Guan Zi has made it clear a long time ago." Li Yunze put his hands on his knees and said leisurely, "It's time to think about these things when you have enough to eat and drink, are warmly clothed, have a house, land, and work income."

"When your stomach is growling with hunger and you can't even eat, then you go and talk to others about your moral character and character. That's bullshit."

Guan Zhong spoke straightforwardly and was considered a man of temperament. This sentence can be said to vividly demonstrate pragmatism and pragmatism.

Of course it’s okay to be pragmatic, but the prerequisite is to be pragmatic first.

Li Yunze looked around, "Confucianism teaches hundreds of arts and methods of survival. It allows disciples to have a skill to survive."

Someone immediately asked, "Then Confucian disciples don't cultivate their minds?"

"Nature is also cultivated."

Li Yunze, who looked calm, responded, "Of course there are born villains, but there are not many of them. For things like cultivating one's moral character, it is enough to remain a basically good person. There is no need to force it."

Naturally, everyone around him was dissatisfied with Li Yunze's attitude and felt that this person was too superficial.

If it is just a way to survive, then everyone can just go farming, why bother to teach the world what schools say.

Li Yunze disagreed with everyone's views, but he didn't say anything more.

Even though he traveled across thousands of worlds, he never thought that he could educate the world. He could not achieve this kind of merit.

Sitting there quietly, drinking wine and listening to the discussion with a smile on his face.

But in fact, his heart had already flown away.

After three days of discussion, it was time for Li Yunze to say goodbye.

"Boyang."

Li Yunze came over with a pile of brand-new white paper and handed it to Li Er, "You said in your letter before that it would be more suitable for preservation and reading if the books in the library could be copied on paper. Look at this new paper that was produced recently.

Ok."

Li Er took the new paper and looked at it carefully, and nodded again and again, "It's really good, it's definitely useful."

Then, he looked puzzled, "There are many works in the library, and these papers are not enough."

What he said made Li Yunze happy. "Don't worry, Boyang. The paper is still in production. I have arranged a caravan to deliver it to you. Then you will just copy it."

Li Er saluted Li Yunze with joy, "Zhong Ni has been so kind to you, I don't know how to repay you."

Hearing this, Li Yunze's heart suddenly moved. "I heard that there are ancient copies of "Lianshan", "Gui Zang" and "Zhouyi" in the library?"

The so-called "Lianshan", "Guizang" and "Book of Changes", these three books together have a common name, which is the "Book of Changes", the first of all the classics!

These words stunned Li Er.

Yes, there is, but you don't want it, right?

Looking at Li Yunze's eager eyes, Li Er's eyes dodge a little.

He is just a librarian, not the owner of these books.

But what I said before has been said, and now it’s too ugly to be slapped in the face.

"Zhongni will wait for a while and go to talk to the king about this matter."

As we all know, Li Yunze has a hobby of collecting beautiful...beautiful treasures.

There is no need to say much about what happened in the past. Now that we have come to this era, we cannot let it go.

It is obvious that now is not the time for the Jiuding in the Imperial Ancestral Temple Mingtang.

In addition, the good things that Li Yunze can appreciate in this era are the Heshi Bi, the Yi Jing, and the Tao Te Ching.

He Shibi was in the Chu State, and Li Yunze planned to wait for Sun Wu to attack Chu to find a solution.

As for the Tao Te Ching, Li Er has not yet written the original version, so we have to wait.

The best thing to do at this time is naturally the only one left is the I Ching.

This is the original version of the I Ching in the true sense, and it is a complete version with all three parts.

In fact, only one third of the so-called Book of Changes passed down by later generations is left, which is the Zhouyi.

The other Lianshan and Guizang have long been lost.

What Li Yunze likes most are these lost good things.

Originally, Li Yunze didn't have much confidence in this, after all, this was the original version of the Book of Changes.

He had already thought about it, and when he was about to leave, he packed up Jiuding and Yi Jing and took them away.

Anyway, these treasures will be lost in the future, so it is better to leave them to yourself for safekeeping.

What Li Yunze didn't expect was that Li Er actually brought him good news.

"The Emperor agrees?"

Li Yunze was really shocked, "His brain...no, I mean the emperor's sage~~~"

"The emperor said that he can lend you some time to read it, and it will have to wait until the copying is completed."

"No problem." Li Yunze responded immediately, "I'm just borrowing it for a look."

That's right, just like Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty borrowed Jingzhou, he just borrowed it and used it.

As for when to pay it back, that will be discussed later.

Li Er hadn't finished speaking yet, "What the emperor means is that I hope you can hand over the craftsmanship of making white paper..."

"no problem!"

In Li Er's opinion, it was impossible for Li Er to agree to something, but Li Yunze agreed to it without hesitation.

It's just paper-making technology. It can be used to exchange for the original version of the Book of Changes, which makes a lot of money.

Anyway, papermaking technology is also used in the Middle-earth world, so it will not spread to the hands of barbarians. Of course Li Yunze doesn't care.

In Li Er's view, papermaking is a huge prestige and an improvement in cultural communication.

This kind of good thing should be firmly in one's hands, but instead it's just to borrow a few books...

I really can't understand it.

It's right not to understand, because people in this era pay attention to credibility, especially celebrities who cherish their feathers, unlike the so-called celebrities of later generations, hehe.

He didn't expect that Li Yunze actually planned to borrow it and not return it.

I really haven't thought about it.

Li Yunze, who originally planned to leave Luoyang, continued to stay for a while.

After Li Yunze handed over the papermaking process to Emperor Zhou, and even personally supervised and led his disciples to build a papermaking workshop in Luoyang City to produce white paper, and successfully obtained the original version of the Book of Changes, Li Yunze continued his journey with satisfaction.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These days in Luoyang have not been idle. Many new people have been recruited from the families of many nobles who hold noble titles but do not even have two acres of Susukino.

student.

Luoyang has the largest number of nobles in the world.

As early as five hundred years ago, Duke Zhou built Zhou City here in Luoyi.

As the saying goes, "Dingding, Jiaxuan" and "Zhaizizhong.guo" are the same.

More than 200 years ago, the Zhou Dynasty officially moved its capital to Luoyi.

Over the years, the nobles surnamed Ji have continued to multiply and expand, but the Zhou family has no extra land to entrust.

As a result, there are more and more nobles, but the economic and living conditions are getting worse and worse.

Many of the so-called aristocratic children are actually working in the fields and still don’t have enough to eat.

Li Yunze's enrollment immediately attracted a large group of people to follow him.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that there is no tuition fee and food and accommodation are included is attractive enough.

After bidding farewell to Li Er, he left Luoyi with a team of more than a thousand people and continued to travel around the world.

Passing through Shen, Lu, Deng, Mao, Shen and other countries all the way to the border of Chu State.

Seeing that Li Yunze was about to enter Chu, Sun Wu expressed some worry: "Master, Yang Youji died under your arrow, I am afraid that the Chu State Council will be unfavorable to Master."

"Chu State is not good for me?"

Li Yunze yawned, "What you said is contradictory. You should be worried that I will be detrimental to Chu State."

"Well..."

When Sun Wu said this, he suddenly remembered that night on the border of Qi State.

That night, the master single-handedly convinced people with his shirtless attitude. It is said that from then on, the area on the Shanxi-Qi border became completely stable, and there was no trace of the horse bandits who had run rampant in the past.

If the Chu State really wanted to harm the master, it would probably send an army of ten thousand people, but the only way out would be to defeat him.
