When spring returns to the Central Plains, the mountains and forests in the southwest are already full of purple and red. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The four seasons are like spring, and the past of winter has not left a deep impression on people. Compared with the heavy snow-covered mountains in the Xiaocanghe period and the barrenness of the northwest, the winter here is just a name for time, and there is no actual concept.

Naturally, there was a big celebration at the end of the year, and then before you knew it, it was March. Seedlings are planted in the field, and every morning in the morning light, there are lush trees and flowers between the high mountains and low mountains.

There is a hill in the eastern part of the city where the trees have long been cut down, and terraces, roads, and houses have been dug up, which is a pleasing sight to the eye in this year.

It's the home of the Black Flag insiders.

He Wen gets up early every day, gets up before dawn to exercise, then reads a book, carefully prepares for class, and when the sky is dark, there are people walking on the road in front of the house and behind the house. The craftsmen in the factories and the Gemonoin Temple lived together with the gentlemen of the school, and from time to time there were sounds of greetings, greetings, and conversations.

In the society of the Wu Dynasty, the class of Shinong industry and commerce has actually begun to be fixed, and the identity of craftsmen and scholars is a world of difference, but from Zhuji to Huaxia Army for more than ten years, these craftsmen under Ning Yi have gradually exercised and gradually formed their own system, and later many have learned to read and write, and now there is not much estrangement with cultural people. Of course, this is also because the small society of the Huaxia Army attaches great importance to the joint efforts of all people and pays attention to the equality of work between people, and at the same time, it naturally weakens the role of scholars intentionally or unintentionally.

He Wen naturally has some opinions about the latter, but there is nothing to say about it, his current identity, on the one hand, is a teacher, and on the other hand, he is a prisoner after all.

He Wen, originally a child of a big clan in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a Confucian man with both civil and military skills, a few years ago in the north, he went to the Central Plains to try to do his best, and later because of fate will enter the Black Flag Army, and many people in the army also have some friendship. Last year, Ning Yi came back to clean up the spies inside, and He Wen was arrested because of his contact with the outside world, but after being captured, Ning Yi didn't have much trouble with him, just left him in Jishan, taught Confucianism for half a year, and agreed that he would be let go as soon as the time came.

He is arrogant, and since he has an agreement, he teaches here. In class, he analyzed the vastness of Confucianism with a group of young students and analyzed the problems that might arise in the Huaxia Army. This is the respect he has earned with his knowledge, and in recent months, there have often been members of the Black Flag who have come to "argue" with him, He Wen is not a corrupt Confucian, and the Confucian man in his thirties is very knowledgeable and has a sharp heart, and he can always dismiss and defend people.

The time to leave is getting closer and closer.

He Wen did not doubt Ning Yi's original promise. Coupled with the time of this half a year, he has been in the black flag for three years. During his time in Hedeng, he was quite respected by everyone, and was later found to be a spy, and it was not good to continue to take classes in Hedeng, so he turned to Jishan, but he was not subjected to too much trouble.

Zhuo Xiaofeng, who was in charge of garrison security in Jishan County, was familiar with him, he founded the Yongle Youth League, and he was a guy who was obsessed with equality and great harmony, and often came up with deviant ideas to debate with He Wen; Among the people in charge of Jishan commerce, a young man named Qin Shaoyu was originally Qin Siyuan's nephew, in the chaos where Qin Siyuan was killed, Qin Shaoyu was seriously injured by Lin Zongwu, and since then he has been in a wheelchair, He Wen admires the name Qin Siyuan, and also admires the four books annotated by the old man, and often chats with him, Qin Shaoyu is not deeply knowledgeable about Confucianism, but for many things about Qin Siyuan, he also told the truth, including the exchanges between the old man and Ning Yi, and how he went from being a gentleman to the present under the influence of Ning Yi. These also made He Wen deeply insightful.

Black Flag Due to the history of killing monarchs, there are not many Confucian disciples in the army, and there are only a handful of Confucianists who are full of learning, but the high-level leaders of Black Flag can be regarded as treating them with courtesy, including He Wen, there are many precedents for letting people leave after staying for a period of time, so He Wen is not worried about the other party's murder.

In the three years in the Huaxia Army, most of the time he was vigilant, and now that he is about to leave, looking back, he suddenly feels that this place is like another world compared with the outside world. There are many monotonous things in this world, and there is also a lot of chaos that is too chaotic to be seen.

With Hedeng as the core, the "four people" of propaganda; The most radical "equality for all" propagated by the young people of the Yongle Department in Badao; the "logic" propagated in the Gewu Academy, the Mohist thinking that some young people are looking for; The "spirit of contract" propagated in Jishan County, greed and laziness. are at the heart of these chaos.

After all, the Huaxia Army is a military group, and after so many years of development, its combat power is enough to shake the world, but the entire system is only more than 200,000 people, and it is in a difficult crack, and it is still impossible to say that it has developed a systematic culture. Most of these cultures and sayings came from Ning Yi and his disciples, many of them were still in a state of slogans or in the bud, and the discussions of the hundred and ten people were not even considered "doctrines", scholars like He Wen could see that some of them were even contradictory, but Ning Yi's approach was confusing and intriguing.

Relatively speaking, the slogan of the rise and fall of China is more simple and mature.

Of course, these things made him think. But there were other things that bothered him.

After the morning work, the rooster crowed, and soon after the rooster crowed, there was the sound of footsteps outside, and someone opened the fence door and came in, and outside the window was the figure of a woman, who walked through the small yard, and then made a fire in the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

He Wen read loudly, followed by preparing for today's lesson, and when he finished doing this, when he walked out, the porridge and rice for breakfast had been prepared, and the woman in a coarse cloth dress had already bowed her head and left.

The woman's name is Lin Jingmei, and she is one of the things that troubles him.

In all fairness, even though the Huaxia army has been killed all the way from the sea of blood, it does not mean that the army only advocates martial arts. He Wenjin Chinese New Year's Eve is eight years old, both civil and military, and he looks like a talent, it is the best age for knowledge and temperament, he was the best age to enter the Black Flag Army, saying that his wife and concubines and children were killed by the Jurchens, and later became familiar with the Black Flag Army, and naturally got the hearts of many women, Lin Jingmei is one of them.

He Wen first entered the Black Flag Army, with a sense of generosity and tragedy, and threw himself into the demon cave, and he had already put life and death out of the way. This girl named Lin Jingmei is nineteen years old, a whole round younger than him, but in this year, it is actually not a big deal. The other party is the daughter of the martyrs of the Huaxia Army, with a weak appearance but a tough temperament, he takes care of him after falling in love, and there is a group of brothers and fathers who add fuel to the fire, although He Wen claims to be sad, but over time, it is impossible to do too much, and then the girl will do laundry and cook for him, in the eyes of outsiders, it is already a couple who will get married in a short time.

In fact, after all, machismo is prevalent in these years, He Wenxiang was born in a family, although he has studied martial arts, he has always been respectful of cooking, and Lin Jingmei came to take care of him, which did make his life much better. He didn't have a direct bad guy to be innocent, but he still maintained a sense of sanity after getting acquainted with the Black Flag people.

Who knew that half a year ago, the news that He Wennai was a spy was exposed, and the protectors around Lin Jingmei may have been warned and did not come to make things difficult for him too much. Lin Jingmei was sad in her heart and disappeared for a while, but in the winter, she transferred Jishan again, and came to He Wen to wash and cook every day, but she no longer communicated with him. People can be ruthless if they are not grass and trees, and such an attitude makes He Wen even more distressed.

After eating breakfast, he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and went out to the Huaxia Army Children's School on the mountainside not far away. Relatively advanced knowledge of Confucianism also requires a certain foundation, so He Wenjiao is not an enlightened child, but mostly a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old. Ning Yi actually attaches great importance to Confucianism, and some of the children who have been taught by him have also been taught by him, and many of them are active in thinking, and occasionally ask questions in class.

A few more people came today, and among some of the teenagers and girls sitting in the back of the class, there was Ning Yi's eldest son, Ning Xi, who had also seen him He Wen before, so he knew that Ning Yi had probably come to Jishan County.

This class is not peaceful. He Wen's course is talking about the "Book of Rites: Rites and Fortunes", combined with Confucius, Lao Tzu said the concept of the great harmony of the world and a well-off society - this kind of content is difficult not to cause discussion in the Huaxia Army - when the class was almost over, a few young people who came with Ning Xi got up and asked, the question was relatively superficial, but it was no match for the stalking of young people, He Wen sat there and argued one by one, and later talked about the strategy of the Huaxia Army, and talked about the chaos of the world that the Huaxia Army wanted to establish, and the class was said until noon before stopping, Later, Ning Xi couldn't help but participate in the debate, and was still beaten by He Wenhang.

It is also that although the atmosphere of the class in the Huaxia Army is lively, I can't help but ask questions, but the respect for teachers has always been strict, otherwise articulate guys like He Wen will inevitably be rushed up and beaten into reactionaries.

After the class, he went back to the courtyard, the food was a little cold, Lin Jingmei sat in the room and waited for him, her eyes were slightly red, as if she had cried. When He Wen entered the house, she got up to leave, and said in a low voice: "You should pay attention to your speech this afternoon." ”

He Wen sat down and waited until Lin Jingmei came out of the house before standing up again: "These days, thank you for Miss Lin's care." I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Lin Jingmei left quickly, thinking that she was in tears.

In the afternoon, He Wen went to the school, sorted out the books and texts as usual, and quietly prepared for class, around Shen Shi, a girl with the same scar on his face came to him and asked him to see Ning Yi. The girl's eyes were cold, and her tone was not good, this is the seventh lady of the Su family, and Lin Jingmei is best friend, He Wen has met with her a few times after being arrested, and every time she doesn't get a good face, it is naturally human nature.

He Wen followed Miss Seven all the way, got out of the school, and went down the road to a market not far away. He Wen looked at the surrounding buildings and sighed with emotion, and on the way, he saw a little man shouting loudly and distributing leaflets to passers-by around: "...... People are all equal in this world, those big people have hands and feet, you and I also have hands, feet and heads, there is no difference between people......"

This is the people of the Badao Battalion, and also one of Ning Yi's wives Liu Xigua's subordinates, they inherit the will of the Yongle family, pay the most attention to equality, and also engage in "democratic voting" in the Badao Battalion, and the demand for equality is more radical than Ning Yi's "Four People", they often publicize in the mountains, and there is a rally every day, and even some merchants from outside the mountains will be affected, and go to see in a curious mood at night. But for He Wen, these things are also the most puzzled places for him, for example, Jishan's business system pays attention to greed, pays attention to "profit-seeking", and Gewuyuan also pays attention to wisdom and efficient laziness. He couldn't figure out Ning Yi's brain pumping, but similar doubts were used to beat Ning Xi and a group of other children, but it was very easy.

In the past, He Wen was deeply puzzled and disapproving of these propaganda, but at this time, he was slightly nostalgic, and the atmosphere of these "fallacies and heresies" was not found outside the mountain after all.

Not long after walking here, he didn't go to the lively place of the market, and He Wen met Ning Yi at the office of Huaxia Army. The courtyard is relatively heavily guarded, and Ning Xi and his companions can be seen next door bowing their heads to copy things, when He Wen came over, Ning Yi was sending away a merchant from Dali, and then asked him to sit down with a normal face, and made him a cup of tea.

Most of the time, Ning Yi smiled when he saw people, and the last time he saw He Wen, even if he was a spy, Ning Yi did not make it difficult. But this time, the man who could make the world shake a little by stomping his feet had a serious face, and sat in the chair opposite him in silence for a moment.

"In the morning, I met with Jingmei."

"Hmm," He Wen then understood why Lin Jingmei had red eyes at noon.

Ning Yi thought for a moment, sighed, and weighed before speaking:

"Jingmei's father, called Lin Nian, more than ten years ago, had a well-known nickname, called Wufeng Dao. At that time, I was still running Zhuji, and I had a relationship with the Secret Investigation Division, and some martial arts people came to kill me, and some came to join me. Lin Nian came over at that time, he is a hero, although his martial arts are high, he will never deceive people, I remember when he first arrived, he was very hungry and thin, Jingmei was even more so, she was weak and sick since she was a child, and her hair was less, the real yellow-haired girl, she was pitiful when she saw it......"

Ning Yi's voice was low, while reminiscing, he talked about the past: "Later, the Jurchens came, I took people out to assist the Prime Minister to clear the wilderness, and after a big battle, the whole army was defeated, and I led people to kill and burn grain and grass in Qixian County." Master Lin Nianlin died on that road, and the Jurchens ran out of oil until the lamp ran out, and his only wish when he passed away was that we could take care of his daughter. ”

"And then." He Wen's eyes were calm, and there were not many emotional fluctuations.

"I treat Jingmei as my daughter." Ning Yi looked at him, "You are one round older than her, you can be her father, she liked you at the beginning, I was against it, but she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, I think, you are a good person after all, everyone doesn't mind, so forget it." Afterward...... The first time I found out your identity was a month before I did it to you, and by the time I knew it, it was too late. ”

He Wen picked the corner of his mouth: "I thought that Mr. Ning came to me, either to let me go, or to talk to me about world affairs, or, because you humiliated your son in the school in the morning, you have to find a place to come." Unexpectedly, they want to tell me about the private affairs of these men and women? ”

He already had a psychological construction, and he was not moved by the other party's words, but Ning Yi didn't care about the prickly words of his sentences, he sat there and leaned over, wiping his hands on his face a few times: "You can talk to anyone about things in the world." I'm just taking a personal standpoint, and I hope you can consider staying for Jingmei, so that she will feel happy. ”

"Mr. Ning thinks this is more important?"

Ning Yi looked at him: "Is there anything more important than this?" ”

"I can't see hope, how can I stay?"

"If you can defeat the Jurchens, isn't it hopeful?"

"There is no hope for learning that does not stand up to scrutiny."

He Wen was-for-tat, Ning Yi was silent for a moment, leaned back in the chair, and nodded: "I understand, whether you leave or stay today, these were originally meant to talk to you." ”

He Wen laughed: "Mr. Ning is refreshing. ”

"It's not that I'm refreshing, I want to see your feelings for Jingmei. You avoid talking about it, but there are still some of them. ”

He Wen was silent at this time, and Ning Yi looked out the door: "What Mr. He wants to know is the question of how to govern the world in the future, but I want to talk about the problems in your thoughts, the problems in Confucianism, and the problems in many people's minds." ”

"Mr. Ning has said a lot before." He Wen spoke, but there was no deliberate unfriendliness in his tone.

“…… When I was a teenager, I had the same ideas as ordinary people, and I was quite smart and had a good brain. People with good brains must think very highly of themselves, and I am also very confident, Mr. He, like many Confucian students, not to mention saving the world, I will always feel that if I do things, I must be different from others, and what others can't do, I can do it, the simplest, if I am an official, I will naturally not be a corrupt official. What does Mr. Ho think? Did you have this idea when you were young? ”

He Wen looked at him: "Even now, He Mou must not be a corrupt official." ”

Ning Yi smiled complicatedly: "Yes, at that time, did you think that money was so important?" Is it that important? Is it really impossible to walk the right path with the suffering of poverty? Until one day, I suddenly realized one thing, those corrupt officials, bad people, incorrigible guys, they are also very smart, many of them, in fact, more intelligent than me...... When I deeply understood this, there was a problem that changed my whole life, and the entire worldview of the three views I mentioned began to be turned upside down. ”

Ning Yi looked at He Wen with a cold gaze: "Why did Mr. He fail?" ”

He Wen raised his head: "Huh? ”

"Why did such an outstanding person like He Wen become a corrupt official? Why did someone as outstanding as Qin Siyuan fail? There are countless and countless outstanding people in the world, what is the inevitable reason for them to become corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so that they cannot adhere to the original righteous ideas. Mr. He, do you think it's only you who will kill you and not be a corrupt official? Or is it just me? The answer is actually that everyone, almost all of them, are unwilling to do bad things and be corrupt officials, and among them, there are countless smart people. Then what they encounter must be a more terrible and reasonable force than death. ”

"What kind of situation will I encounter that will slowly and inevitably fail? After this question...... I'm starting to really understand the world......"

Ning Yi sighed and stood up with a somewhat complicated expression.
