At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 74
"Set up your mind for the heaven and earth, set up your destiny for the life and the people, follow the sages of the past, and create peace for the world!"

These four sentences echoed in the backyard.

It kept echoing in Wang Zhongyan's ears.

It was as if a whole new door had been opened for him.

The problem that was bothering him seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and the clouds and mists were pushed away to see the blue sky.

Afterwards, Xu Mu struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "Building a heart for the world is to guide the world's correct moral concepts, measure the yardstick, and let the world know what can be done and what can't be done, what is right and what is wrong. "

"Building a life for the living and the people is to help the people of the world find the foundation of life, so that the people can have something to live and die with peace."

"Inheriting the unique learning for the sake of the past is to perfect the academic knowledge of the sages of the past dynasties and make it continue to improve, so as not to cut off the inheritance."

"To create peace for all generations is to build a civilization that can be passed on for a long time for future generations, to achieve harmony without differences, and to achieve peace for thousands of generations!"

Xu Mu's four sentences in a row, like enlightenment, made Wang Zhongyan fall into reflection.

Indeed, compared with the idea of ​​self-cultivation, family management, country governance and world peace that he just said, the four actions proposed by Xu Mu leave it far behind.

Because...it is not limited to individuals, but looks at people all over the world.

Most of the Confucianism before the Song Dynasty inherited Mencius's idea that if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world.

But Zhang Zai is different. The idea he put forward is to contribute to society and others, and to strive for the realization of the "great harmony" and "peaceful" world that Confucius said all his life.

Therefore, the four for the home, does not pay attention to self-cultivation, family governance, country and world, it only pays attention to the heaven and the earth, the living and the people, the holy, and the eternal.

In terms of structure, this is the mind that Confucianism should have.

Sure enough, under Xu Muming's theory of plagiarism, Wang Zhongyan... murmured four famous words while crying.

At this moment, he seemed to have found the true meaning of life.

He searched hard for so many years, but he couldn't find it from the classics of the sages, but he got the answer in today's restaurant.

"Please be respected by Zhongyan."

After a while, Wang Zhongyan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and bowed to Xu Mu very cautiously.

Perform the disciple ceremony.

Lu Chu looked at this scene blankly, silently looking at Shu Xiu who was placed in the corner by him.

He always felt something was wrong.

Xu Mu quickly helped him up, and said earnestly, "Old Wang, the revival and development of Confucianism still requires our joint efforts."

Lu Chu opened his mouth even more, when he heard Xu Mu call Old Wang...

The whole person is not well.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhongyan was not displeased at all. On the contrary, he agreed with him very much: "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down. Fortunately, I meet a little friend. My way is not alone."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Mu and he walked up to the box on the second floor hand in hand.

Only Lu Chu was left alone in the wind in the backyard.

"This teacher... do you still want to worship?"

Lu Chu muttered, gradually doubting life.

……

In the box on the second floor, Xu Mu ordered people to prepare the best meals in Xianweiju, including tea and fine wine.

This is his future university principal, and he will be responsible for the implementation of the future textbooks and educational plans of Wanmin City.

And... Wang Tong is not a rotten Confucian.

Wang Tong is an inclusive person in history, advocating the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the integration of the three religions, and common development.

In the future, Xu Mu will also propose New Confucianism.

Combining Mohist academics with the all-inclusive Neo-Confucianism, Xu Mu believes that it is not a big problem for Wang Tong.

As for the theory of Mohism, it is naturally in the fields of physical chemistry and so on.

It's just... There are not many scholars in Wanmin City now, and the development of New Confucianism is estimated to wait until next year to start.

At least... it will not be opened until the population of Wanmin City breaks through the [-] mark and there are plenty of talents.

Therefore, now scholars are the top priority.

While eating, Xu Mu took the opportunity to invite him to attend the spring outing party tomorrow.

Wang Tong untied the knot in his heart that had troubled him for a long time, and agreed very readily.

After the meal, Wang Tong pulled Xu Mu to continue discussing the development route of Confucianism...

In the end, Xu Mu rejected him on the grounds that he had something to do.

Just kidding, he can't copy much anymore.

Next time, he can only copy Wang Yangming's idea of ​​unity of knowledge and action.

As for... Zhu Xi's set, Xu Mu can only hehe.

Preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires are all proposed for the ruling class.

He came here through time, and he must not watch the advanced Confucianism develop in that direction.

However, it is not bad to study things to gain knowledge, to study the principles of heaven and earth, and to explore the laws of all things, maybe it can also be used to fool around?

It just so happens that the Mohist knowledge of natural science and physical chemistry can be promoted in the future.

After Wang Tong left, Xu Mu was thinking about what to discuss in the next meeting. As he was walking, he suddenly saw Lu Chu staring at him expressionlessly at the door of the backyard.

startled him.

"I said, brother, are you still not going back? Madam sister-in-law is afraid to find someone to remind her again." Xu Mu pointed to the sky, it was almost evening.

Lu Chu remained motionless for a long time before humming, "I can't move these Shuxiu by myself, help me move them back."

Xu Mu: "..."

To be honest, he really wanted to complain, obviously he moved here alone, but if he moved back, he still couldn't move it?
However, considering that he and Wang Tong had a good conversation today, which might have hurt his young heart, Xu Mu still didn't speak.

Honestly helped him move these Shuxiu back to Lu's residence.

After moving things, Xu Mu went straight out of the city and returned to He Ruozhuang.

Tomorrow is the exciting beginning of spring!
Under the leadership of Lao Lu, the supervising students of the Imperial College will go to He Ruozhuang to enjoy the spring, recite poems and compose Fu, and fall into his trap...

He must go back as soon as possible to discuss the specific plot with Wang Zhao and Fan Zhu.

He Ruozhuang.

As the sky was getting dark, Xu Mu called Wang Zhao, "How is the Mongolian medicine for tomorrow?"

"My lord, I have prepared 180 catties of Mongolian sweat medicine." Wang Zhao said proudly, pointing in the direction of the kitchen.

Xu Mu couldn't help but look in the direction of the kitchen when he heard that...

"Has the drug been tested? Don't buy fake drugs!" Xu Mu was still a little worried.

Wang Zhao patted his chest and assured, "I have already fed a few guards half a catty, and I haven't woken up since I fell asleep yesterday."

Xu Mu: "..."

With such honest and loyal subordinates, Xu Mu felt that he had nothing to worry about.

The reason why 180 catties of Mongolian sweat medicine was prepared was mainly because there were too many people.

Tomorrow, counting the 430th day of the first lunar month, there will be a total of [-] new Guozijian students.

This also means...Xu Mu will add Mongolian sweat medicine to every meal.

If it is too little, it will have no effect at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Mu couldn't help the excitement in his heart, looked at Fan Zhu on the other side, and asked, "How are the cooks doing?"

It was also the first time for Fan Zhu to carry out such a huge kidnapping plan. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Some cooks have been temporarily transferred from the Badaxianweiju Restaurant. Tomorrow's banquet is completely enough!"

Xu Mu nodded, and then remembered something again, "By the way, tomorrow night, two ships will be vacated, no food will be loaded, and room will be made for them."

Wang Zhao: "..."

Fan Zhu: "..."

To be honest, they couldn't help being excited by such a maddened protagonist.

In the past, who would have dared to think of such a thing.

Once tied up, the whole Guozijian is formed.

This kind of feat, I am afraid that it will be recorded in the annals of history in the future!

And they, as participants and executors, will have a very strong stroke...Of course, they may also be written as villains.

However, they have confidence in the lord, and they have great trust in the development of Wanmin City and Xu Mu.

Especially Fan Zhu, after seeing Xu Mu's business methods in running Xianweiju, he has almost blindly worshiped Xu Mu.

……

Luoyang City, Lu Mansion.

Madam Lu looked at Shu Xiu who was gone and returned, she couldn't help but frowned and said: "Didn't you say that you would help my younger brother to learn a teacher? Why did you return it again? Could it be that Wang Zhongyan refused to accept it?"

Mentioning this, Lu Chu's expression became complicated again.

Like constipation.

He recalled the issues related to the future development of Confucianism that Xu Mu and Wang Zhongyan discussed during the day...

He felt that he was a white man.

Look at what level of knowledge people are talking about!

Look at yourself, with this level of knowledge, you are still serving as the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, which is simply misleading your disciples.

Especially... Both of them are younger than him.

Wang Zhongyan just turned 34 at the time.

As for his virtuous brother, although he kept saying that he was only eighteen, Lu Chu still gave him a 25 based on his looks.

Think of it...

"Ugh--"

Lu Chu couldn't help letting out a long sigh.

"My husband only found out today why my virtuous brother refused to be a teacher. He must be like Wang Zhongyan. He has already become a talent by himself. He is a scholar of heaven and man. We can only be friends with each other. Wang Zhongyan..."

He recalled the scene where Wang Zhongyan performed the salute to Xu Mu's disciple, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's almost the same for him to learn from my virtuous brother."

Because there is Wang Zhongyan who has studied Confucian classics by himself and has convinced the whole world, the honest Lu Chu has no doubts about Xu Mu's knowledge at all.

Immediately dismissed the idea of ​​letting Xu Mu study.

Just kidding, with this level of knowledge, who do you go to learn from?
May I ask, is there anyone in the world who can teach his virtuous brother?
Mrs. Lu was surprised and said: "Your brother actually has such talents? Logically speaking, with such talents, I'm afraid I don't have time to think about the relationship between men and women. Could it be that he also fabricated the marriage contract he said?"

The implication is that Xu Mu is a single dog.

Lu Chu's eyes lit up when he said this, and he nodded with deep satisfaction.

In his opinion, Xu Mu is the kind of person who concentrates on studying knowledge and keeps his ears to the outside world. He said that before his parents passed away, he arranged a marriage for him, probably...

is fabricated.

If there is a bond of marriage, how to study knowledge?
It's not even 25 years old, and the marriage contract has not yet been completed.

The honest man Lu Chu suddenly transformed into Sherlock Holmes, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

"What Madam said is true! Tomorrow, I will go to the Youth Poetry Festival, and my husband must ask him to find out what happened!"

　It's a bit late to write today, haha, good night everyone.

　　Remember to vote for a recommendation before going to bed~
