Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 47 Abandoning Confucianism
With the help of Xu Liang, Wang Dan staggered out of the secret pavilion and went straight to the vertical arch hall.

"Xu Liang, you said that the thousand-year-old Confucianism, can you stop learning it?"

"Master Xiang, Xiaguan is a warrior, I don't understand this, but we also know that those corrupt officials, once they are admitted to the jinshi, will be drunk with the four books and five classics."

Xu Liang carefully answered Wang Dan's words.

"Yes, yes, when you become an official, no one will study the Four Books and Five Classics anymore."

Wang Dan sighed and said, "These Four Books and Five Classics are just a stepping stone, alas."

Zhao Heng was chatting with the Great Confucianism in the Hall of Hanging Arch.

Chong Fang came with his nephew, Chong Shiheng, because Zhao Heng told him that he knew that he had a nephew who could study well and wanted to meet him. .

Chong Shiheng has been recruited to be the director of the supervisor, and Chong Fang likes this nephew quite a bit. He was about to help him. He was very happy to learn that Zhao Heng wanted to see him, Chong Shiheng, and brought Chong Shiheng to him early. Outside the palace gate, waiting to be summoned.

Chong Shiheng is the founder of the family general, and the family general Zhao Heng has seen it in the history of the Song Dynasty. He is indeed loyal and capable, and can be reused.

Chong Fang chatted with Zhao Heng for a long time, only to realize that he was left out. Zhao Heng clearly asked himself to bring his nephew Chong Shiheng to take a look, but now seven or eight of Zhao Heng's ten sentences are asking about Chong. Shiheng.

This is nothing, after all, Chong Fang did not marry and have children, and he always taught Chong Shiheng as his heir.

However, why Zhao Heng kept asking Chong Shiheng what he thought of the Northwest, and whether he wanted to go to the Northwest to work in front of Cao Wei's tent and join the army.

Let's hear it, it is to join the army instead of supervising the army. Isn't this to let Chong Shiheng change from literature to martial arts!
Zhong Fang was not happy, so he saluted Zhao Heng and said, "Officials, soldiers are also murderous weapons, and saints must not do it. The country is finally at peace, and it is not easy to start wars again."

Do you think Chong Fang is really the reason? No, he is afraid that Chong Shiheng will not be able to come back after he switches from literature to martial arts, and Chong Fang has already seen through the Song Dynasty's policy of suppressing martial arts with literature, and he also guessed that the military generals in the future will not be able to return. How humiliated he would be, so he didn't want his nephew to be a military commander, even if the emperor spoke.

After all, the civil officials of the Song Dynasty were not good at the outside world, but it was still very useful to suppress the military generals of their own countries.

Besides, he was a great scholar of the generation, and his nephew became a military general, so Fang Fang felt that he could not afford to lose face.

"Chongqing, I didn't mean to use troops, why do you think I'm about to use troops?" Zhao Heng looked at Chong Fang and asked, "Where did Aiqing hear the rumors?"

"Before the official family recruited Cao Wei, Wang Deyong, and Ma Zhijie to visit the palace, and after that they recruited Wang Dan, Kou Zhun, Wang Qinruo, and Ding Wei four ministers to the palace. This is how the minister learned that the official family We're going to use troops against Li Deming in the northwest."

When Zhao Heng saw Chong Fang say this, he knew that almost all the ministers in the DPRK knew about it.

"Li Deming, head to tail, at the same time, is a vassal of Song and Liao, and he has made himself the king of Xia. He sent a letter a few days ago, asking me to come to my Song Dynasty to get millions of grains. The heart of tigers and wolves is clearly exposed, and I hate it very much, so I sent troops. To cut it, to show the great power of my Song Dynasty, and let the world not ask for instructions from my Song Dynasty."

Zhao Heng picked up the paper-cutting jade axe beside him and played with it.

"Qing Chong, but I have some objections. If not, let Chong Shiheng go to work in front of the Northwest Army."

Chong Fang pulled Chong Shiheng to kneel together.

"The old minister leads the order."

"Chen Zhong Shiheng leads the mission."

After that, Chong Fang went out with Chong Shiheng, and when he went out, he happened to meet Wang Dan coming in.

"Ming Yi, where are you going?"

Wang Dan and Zhong Fang greeted each other.

"Prince Wang, the official family, want my nephew Shiheng to join the army at Cao Wei in the northwest."

"This is a good thing. Shiheng is a budding official, not from the imperial examination. It is also good to transfer to a military position, but don't disappoint the officials' expectations."

After listening to Chong Fang's words, Wang Dan said that this is a good job, and Chong Shiheng should do it well.

What else can I say about this?I can only take Chong Shiheng home to prepare.

Wang Dan watched Chong Fang and his uncle and nephew walk away before turning around and entering the Hanging Hall.

"Wang Xiang, you are here. After playing for so many days, how are you talking? You should talk about something."

Seeing Wang Dan coming, Zhao Heng asked someone to bring a chair for Wang Dan and asked Wang Dan to sit down and answer.

"I talked about it today, some, and now I know why they want so much food."

"Their population is twenty times that of our Song Dynasty, and the arable land is only four or five times ours, so they need so much food."

"So, these grains are in urgent need of them?" Zhao Heng leaned on the chair with his eyes closed.

"Yes, officials, Na Zhuoqun also said that if we can lay down Xixia, he will give us some drought-resistant high-yield crops to plant in the northwest."

"And the northwest area is suitable for raising cattle and sheep on a large scale. Zhuoqun will also send people to teach us planting, fertilizing and breeding."

"Well, it's not bad, what can be grown in the northwest?" Zhao Heng asked.

"Potatoes and sweet potatoes are both drought-resistant and can produce several thousand catties per mu, which is a good food, while corn can only produce a few hundred kilograms per mu, but they also need corn stalks and wheat and rice stalks."

"What are those things?"

"Zhuo Qun said that straw can be used to make paper."

"Paper making." Zhao Heng became interested as soon as he heard that he could make paper. "Can we make it too? If we can make it, we will keep making paper. Papermaking is about the education of the world."

"But, we won't!" Wang Dan shook his head and said, "Butler, we can't do it. Officials, do you know what an industrial system is?"

Wang Dan told Zhao Heng exactly what Zhuo Qun said to him.

"Confucianism is gone, can the rise and fall of the dynasty be resolved?" Zhao Heng walked to the door of the Hanging Palace and looked outside.

"Do you believe Wang Xiang? Can they solve the rise and fall of the dynasty?"

Zhao Heng turned his head to look at Wang Dan.

"The official family, I don't know if they can solve the old man, but the old man knows that Confucianism will definitely not solve it!"

"The Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism are just a stepping stone, a step to entering the body, and if you are admitted to the Jinshi, you will be left behind when you become an official."

"That moral article is only written for people to read, don't read the splendid flowers they wrote, but they don't know anything about practical matters, so the jinshi who are admitted to the jinshi must observe politics before they are sent abroad, even if they are sent abroad. , also handed over the practical affairs to the master and the junior officials, and went to the romantic affair, but anyone who knew a little practicality and could do a little thing was called a capable minister."

Wang Dan went on to say, "Look at the capable ministers of the pre-Qin and the pre-Han Dynasty. They didn't go on horseback to manage the army and dismount to govern the people. They don't have many Confucian studies."

Zhao Heng was shocked when he heard it, "What's wrong with Wang Xiang..."

"Why did the old minister say that?"

Wang Dan looked at Zhao Heng, "The old man himself only regards the Four Books and Five Classics as the level of self-advancement."

"Official family, the old man wants to go to the next generation to have a look, please allow me."

Wang Dan has made up his mind, the Wang family is about to turn around, young children can no longer learn Confucianism, at least those who are wise can't learn, the great change that has not been seen in a thousand years is just around the corner, we must seize it, as long as If you catch the Wang family, you can at least prosper for four or five generations, so be sure to check it out.
