Shen Zhezi had already had the idea of this engineering institute. The reason why it has been brewing, in addition to the fact that the actual conditions are not very available, is also because his ideas are huge.

In Shen Zhezi's conception, the core of this engineering institute is not technology, if it is simply the teaching of various production technologies, it can be completed directly in the workshop operation.

What he wants is the kind of engineering university that can gather real high-end talents, and integrate theoretical summary, scientific research innovation and technological improvement iteration, similar to the comprehensive engineering university of later generations, which may not be so rigorously classified, but the framework must be built.

As for the inferiority of craftsmen, the greatest factor determining social status is always the economic base, which is the same throughout the ages.

In this land, before the epoch-making reform of the productive forces, the output of land is always the most reliable and predictable guarantee, so a large number of social contradictions are often derived from the land. The fortunes and disgraces of a person or a group may be attributed to luck, but when it is extended to the evolution of the whole society, it is such a naked reality.

The question that Shen Zhezi has been thinking about is not to change the social status of craftsmen, but how to connect the research of science and technology with the most elite groups in the whole society, so as to avoid the situation of one generation paying attention to it and then losing the government.

Although Ge Hong stayed in Huainan and received more help from the Shen family, he still retained a stubbornness and lived in a grass house a little further away from Beiye. For Xiao Xian Weng's stubbornness, Shen Zhezi didn't take it to heart.

The so-called gentleman cooks far away, and it's okay to eat meat, but I can't bear to kill, this is benevolence. By analogy, it's okay to spend money, but I don't want to be a traitor, and I enjoy the offerings with my ability, and I have nothing to lose, which is also a manifestation of self-cultivation.

When the whole world is worshipping money and touting capital, you can maintain a little self, this is not hypocrisy, but it is true that your moral quality is higher than those who can't even be hypocritical. The majority is always oppressing the minority, and being able to keep a little essence unchanged is already a very high self-achievement for an individual.

When Shen Zhezi arrived at Ge Hong's thatched hall, Ge Hong's disciples had already come out to greet him. Xiao Xian Weng's fame is indeed not fake, not long after he arrived in Huainan, dozens of people have gathered around him to follow, of course, there are very few of them who are recognized as disciples by Ge Hong.

The leader of these people was named Ge Rong, who was originally a subordinate of the Governor's Mansion and recruited the children of the Township Sect when Du He ran Tuzhong in his early years. As an old member of the Governor's Office, he should have a bright future, especially since last year, the Governor's Office has faced a large number of talent shortages. But the people didn't care about this, and left the governor's mansion directly to follow Ge Hong, which shows that people's interests are really strange.

Although this Ge Rong is no longer in the Governor's Mansion, he is still respectful to Shen Zhezi, stepped forward to salute and invited Shen Zhezi into the grass hall, and when Shen Zhezi asked if Ge Hong had rested, Ge Rong replied, "Master Ge has been obsessed with the old books of Heluo sent by the mansion recently, and it is common to stay all night to govern the scriptures. ”

Shen Zhezi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, no matter how crazy you little fairy was, you didn't want to drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water!

The Xuanfa books sent by the Governor's Mansion have already been screened, and some of them that do not meet Shen Zhezi's interests have been intercepted, and what Ge Hong can see is that Shen Zhezi wants him to sort it out, and all he needs is the naming right of Xiaoxian Weng. After all, at the level of religious believers, Ge Hong's credibility is not comparable to Shen Zhezi.

Shen Zhezi walked into the grass hall with evil taste, and saw Ge Hong and several disciples sitting among a large number of slips, probably because there were too many bamboo and wood slips in the room, in order to avoid ignition of fire, so there were not many lamps and candles in the room, and the light was extremely dim. And the handwriting on those slips is mottled, and you need to hold it up and bring it to your eyes to see it clearly.

When Shen Zhezi entered, in front of him was a group of people with their faces pressed against the bamboo slips and wooden tablets by the dim light. Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi's heart was even more evil, so many feudal superstitions are not done to engage in feudal superstition, you deserve to become myopic one by one!

Ge Hong was not very welcome to Shen Zhezi's arrival, and looked at Shen Zhezi for a long time with bloodshot in his eyes, before he reluctantly got up and led him to a small room next to the study, his tone was a little dry, "You also see that I really don't have any leisure to entertain guests, if there is no important matter, I don't dare to delay the affairs of the metropolitan governor." ”

"There is indeed something I want to ask Mr. Ge to help with details."

Shen Zhezi was familiar with informality, sat down with a smile, and at the same time made up his mind that even if Ge Hong finished compiling the Taoist codex, he would make a big deletion and correction, in order to fight back against this heart-piercing attitude.

Nowadays, the Jiangdong printing industry, especially this kind of tome printing, really has no semicolon except the Shen family, and it is necessary to use the facts to show the strong strength of the gold master's father to the little fairy Weng.

"My husband and I are just a little estranged from each other, but when it comes to ambitions, why are you so far away from me, sir?"

Seeing that Ge Hong was still standing there and refused to do it, as if he was going to listen to himself and finish it quickly and then return to continue to be busy, Shen Zhezi said with a smile.

When Ge Hong heard this, he was even more vigilant: "Most of the governors are outstanding and have brilliant achievements, but I am just a shallow and ugly man in the countryside, and it is really difficult to make a common opinion, and I dare not think about myself." ”

"Sir, you might as well listen to me, I want to be a sage walking in the world, and Mr. wants to be an otherworldly human immortal, although the journey is far away, but when it comes to not being willing to follow the world, it is the same obsession and intentions."

Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, Ge Hong's face couldn't be tightened anymore, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he had the heart to refute a few words, but he didn't know what to say. This is true that he is arrogant, but I have to say that if he really compares it, Shen Zhezi's distance from the sages is a little closer than his distance from the immortals, and it is really arrogant and speechless.

"Since most of the governors can take the time to come and see me, I, a small people in the mountains and wilderness, can't be lonely and pay tribute."

Probably these words touched some itches in his heart, and his attitude was no longer stiff, and after sitting down, he even instructed his protégé to serve tea, "Even if the function is similar, but after all, the interest is far away, and the metropolitan governor still speaks bluntly." ”

Shen Zhezi picked up the teacup and took a slight sip, then looked at Ge Hong and said with a smile: "I have been trapped in personnel and righteousness recently, and I have nothing to gain from thinking hard, so I took the liberty to ask Mr. Although I promise to be a sage, I also know that it is far from it, and I don't know how to make progress, and I don't know if my husband can teach me? ”

Ge Hong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this question, he also knew that Shen Zhezi had always been an extremely realistic person, and all words and deeds would inevitably involve actual gains and losses, but he didn't expect that he would be interested in studying such a grand problem.

After a short period of silence, he said, "Words and deeds, the way is not far." As long as he keeps to the current state of mind, the royal industry will be stable, and the people will be allowed to be educated. ”

Hearing that Ge Hong actually comforted and even praised himself slightly, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be a little surprised, but soon frowned and said, "The holy words are small and far-reaching, and there must be injustice in paraphrasing; The virtuous deeds are high and broad, and there must be deviations in the legal effect. Hundreds of schools of thought contend, there is no consensus; The king is rampant and disturbed. From this point of view, the holy words and virtuous deeds may not be the luck of the world, if the saints are destroyed, can the world be stable? ”

"The Metropolitan Governor thinks so, it's close to the evil way!"

Ge Hong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Shen Zhezi say this, if someone else said this, he could also use it as his own thoughts to drill the tip of the horns, but if Shen Zhezi said it, he had to make people vigilant, because this young man really had the ability to cause trouble in the world.

Therefore, Ge Hong no longer regarded this as a simple academic debate at this time, and his mind turned quickly, wanting to dispel the extreme anger revealed in Shen Zhezi's words and lead it to the right path.

After hearing this, Shen Zhezi laughed again, "The sages are evil in the world, and I am also a little shallow and weak, and occasionally there are such misthoughts, and the rest of the world is even more wise and foolish, and the lost people do not know how many." In this way, if you are as ambitious as me, is it a virtuous or a traitor? ”

"It is precisely because the path is difficult to approach that we need sincerity, righteousness, self-denial, and moral cultivation, and then we can maintain many methods such as keeping oneness, acting qi, and guiding, so that we can be blessed by heaven and what we do will be accomplished. Most of the governors can do the right way, Kuang Wangye, and save the crisis, and there is no need to be obsessed with strong thoughts, and they can be slowed down in parallel. ”

Ge Hong said again.

"If you say so, then I'll understand."

Shen Zhezi smiled at this time, and then sighed again, "Although I am no longer confused, I am deeply sad for the world." Zhuangxing is like me, I still have to feel that the Tao is difficult to approach, in this world, there are many sentient beings, and there are a few people who can have wisdom and talent like me, even if they practice all goodness, they are still empty in the end. In this way, instead of clinging to this arrogant idea as a useless work, it is better to take advantage of this Jiazi Spring and Autumn Festival to be happy and unbridled, and it can be regarded as a negative life. Otherwise, I can only be reduced to a walking corpse under the rules, and I will be on the road to a sage. ”

Hearing Shen Zhezi's crooked reasoning, Ge Hong was completely speechless, and he sincerely felt that this kid was here to talk about the Tao, and he was clearly here to embarrass himself.

"The Governor is very obedient, and I really don't know how to explain it. When people walk the Dharma path, they see how to experience it in their own way, and I am happy with my own way, but I dare not look far away, and I really don't know how to agree with this theory. ”

Being able to refute Ge Hong, a veteran of feudal superstition, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be happy, but this was not the main reason for his night visit. Some things are not broken or established, and they are not pulled out of the logical loopholes of Ge Hong's set, and it is not easy to stuff new things into them.

So he apologized for a moment, and then said with a smile, "What I just said, but it's a joke, and I know that it's just a lonely and narrow thought." If you only see the brilliance of the sages and ignore the rest, you will be dizzy, you will be lost in your own way, and it will be useless for others and things. As Qu Zi asked, at the beginning of ancient times, who preached it? ”

"I wonder what the Metropolitan taught me?"

When Ge Hong heard this, he forced himself to suppress his discomfort, frowned and asked.

"The Tao exists in heaven and earth, and the ancestors have not yet made a voice, and the latter has benefited for hundreds of generations, because it is called a sage. The sages whispered with great righteousness, and non-Lingxiu leaders could not get all of it. But how did the ancestors speak out? It should be the place of the Tao, so it existed in ancient times, and people felt it, because it was. The Tao has been passed down since ancient times, and the predecessors took advantage of it, which is nothing more than Mr. in the world, and the word is passed on, both to confuse hundreds of generations. ”

When Shen Zhezi said this, there was already an indescribable momentum on his body, he raised his hand and pointed up, and his tone turned solemn: "Zhong Ni and I, both born in this world, are trapped in the teeth and wisdom of the sages who have been misinterpreted for a long time, and ignore the truth that is close at hand and has been passed down for a long time, how stupid is this!" ”

"If you can give full play to your own aura and study the truth of all things in heaven and earth, even if you have a little knowledge of the rest of your life, you can be proud of this way, and there is no one before you! Even if the sages shine with the full moon, they can't swallow the light of my MSI! ”
