Wu Haogu's real purpose of worshipping under the Dongpo Gate is of course not to learn to make Dongpo meat, he doesn't like to eat that, what he loves to eat is Kaifeng cuisine.

In fact, what Wu Haogu needs is Su Dongpo's appeal, what he needs is Su Dongpo's fame, and what he needs is the banner of Shu to learn from Sumen!

Among the Confucian scholars of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Sumen Shu School founded by the father and son of the Su Dongpo family is also a big mountain. It is parallel to Wang Anshi's Jinggong Xinxue, Ercheng's Luoxue, and Guanxue founded by Hou Ke, Zhang Zai and others.

Because Su Dongpo's knowledge is not as domineering as Xinxue, nor is it as idealistic as Luoxue and Guanxue...... Or it is called cranky, and there is a little more talent and love of life of literati and scholars, so the influence of Suxue in the folk and overseas is far greater than that of Xinxue, Luoxue and Guanxue.

Therefore, worshipping Sumen, and even taking over the mantle of Sumen in the future, will be of great help to the spread of Confucianism.

Not to mention anything else, that is, after Zhao Ji played a request for Han Zhongyan, Fan Chunren and others to ban the transmission of the Five Classics of Confucianism, he officially promulgated the edict to set up the promotion officer of the Yuntai School Palace, which was specifically responsible for the spread of Confucianism. This position can only be given to Su Dongpo at this level.

If you don't enter the Dongpo Gate, it will be difficult for Wu Haogu to exert a significant influence on the Yuntai Academy.

However, the edict appointing Su Dongpo to raise the Yuntai Academy Palace was not issued at the same time, which was of course also Wu Haogu's request, because he was not a disciple of Sumen now, and this matter had to wait and see.

And in Wu Haogu's plan, the newly baked Yuntai School Palace is the Confucian version of the Holy See!

In his view, if Confucianism wanted to spread and build a cultural circle that was resistant to Christianity and Tianfangism, it was necessary to have a bureaucracy-like organization—it was unrealistic to rely on business houses and chambers of commerce to proselytize. Firms and chambers of commerce can donate money to the Order, and even influence the Order's policies and leaders, but it is impossible to replace the Order. Otherwise, if you don't do business, you can't teach, and if you screw it together, internal disputes alone will be enough to cause headaches.

Moreover, Wu Haogu must also let the Confucian doctors get the opportunity to realize the value of life in this organization, that is, there must be "officials", there must be money, there must be rewards and punishments, and there must be all kinds of benefits!

And this institution that can give all kinds of benefits and can also be punished will be the Yuntai Academy and its subordinate societies, academies and university halls and doctoral groups in the future.

The Xuegong will be the supreme leadership organ of this Confucian communication organization, and the following societies will be set up according to regions or countries, and the society will be responsible for the leadership.

Under the society is the academy, and the academy is also divided according to the region, and a society district is divided into a college area.

The palaces, societies, and academies will all show themselves as schools, not preaching, but spreading knowledge and teaching.

In addition to the palaces, societies, and academies, there will also be a university hall dedicated to the study and dissemination of the way of nature, as well as a doctoral group to train and train Confucian warriors.

……

"Xiaguan Wu is ancient, meet Huang Fuweng."

On the third day after Zhao Ji promulgated the Confucian edict, on the 20th day of September in the third year of Yuan Fu, Wu Haogu came to Huang Tingjian's house with gifts.

Huang Tingjian is the most outstanding disciple of Su Dongpo, and he is also ranked among the four Song families, and can even be called Su Huang with Su Dongpo - Wu Haogu will definitely be able to be called Su Dongpo in the future, and then he will be called Su Wu, which sounds like a "priest", uh, a shepherd master!

Su Huang's "Huang" is now dressed in casual clothes, sitting on a rose chair that looks a little old, touching his beard, and looking at Wu Haogu who was already sitting firmly on the chair with a pair of hanging eyes.

"You want to worship Suman?"

"Exactly." Wu Haogu replied.

"How do you get started?"

"Because Xiaguan's talent is enough to be on a par with Mr. Dongpo, only Mr. Dongpo can be a teacher of Xiaguan."

"Don't be ashamed!"

"It's just a matter of facts." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "In terms of literature and art, Mr. Dongpo is famous in the world for his calligraphy and poetry; Hao Gu is known for the study of painting. In terms of miscellaneous studies, Mr. Dongpo has Dongpo meat, Dongpo scarf, Dongpo ink and "Su Bachelor's Fang" (medical book); In good ancient times, there are 'Wine Immortals' and 'Thread-bound Books' that are enough to pass down to the world, as well as the "Oiran" album and the "Wenqu Xing" magazine. If we take the Confucian Taoist theory as ...... Guan Luo's learning is insufficient, only Mr. Dongpo's recent natural way is my confidant. ”

That's a big deal...... Huang Tingjian has the urge to brush his sleeves away. Mi Fu, who accompanied Wu Haogu to the door, just shook his head. Although Wu Haogu has some doorways, a "wine fairy" has caused a headache for the 71 main stores in Kaifeng Mansion (except for Pan Lou), and the "line binding method" used in the "Oiran" album and "Wenqu Xing" magazine is now also considered the best way to bind the book. Not to mention the success of the "Oiran" album and the magazine "Wenqu Xing", as well as the "Republican Commercial Covenant" that was enough to overshadow the "Lu Family Township Covenant".

But Wu Haogu actually said "Guan Luo's learning is insufficient", which is a bit unknowing!

"Mr. Yichuan recommended you to the tutor to get started." Huang Tingjian frowned.

The relationship between Cheng Yi and Su Dongpo was not good, the two had a dispute at Sima Guang's funeral because of the etiquette of the funeral, and later they complained again because of the question of whether to eat meat in Daxiangguo Temple - all trivial matters, but it also reflected that Su Dongpo hated Cheng Yi's old-fashionedness.

However, being old-fashioned can also be interpreted as adhering to principles, Cheng Yi would never say good things about the recommendation because Wu Haogu sent a 10,000 thank you gift through his younger brother...... There is no doubt about it! Therefore, his recommendation was enough to make Su Men look at Wu Haogu differently.

"Mr. Ikawa's words are not for us people," said Wu Haogu, "and why should we talk about it?" If you go to discuss the Tao with Mr. Yichuan, you don't understand his Tao. ”

"You know his ways?" Huang Tingjian stared at a pair of hanging eyes, looking at Wu Haogu in surprise.

He didn't know that Wu Haogu had a discussion with Han Zhongyan and Fan Chunren on the Republican Tower--the news didn't spread so fast these days.

"Understood." Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I have a son who is brave and very naughty, and the nurse tries to coax him with words, or talk about tigers and wolves, or beat him with words, or say that he abandons it." Fu Weng thinks that the lower official is going to reason with my mother? ”

It turned out that in Wu Haogu's mind, Cheng Yi's "Heavenly Principle" was to deceive children...... Oh, it's not to deceive children, it's to deceive ignorant women and children!

"Why so disdainful?" Of course, Huang Tingjian understands that Cheng Yi's truth is deceitful...... If you don't even understand this, how can you call it "Su Huang"?

However, he was still a little unaccustomed to Wu Haogu's attitude.

"No, no." Wuhao Ancient Road, "It's not disdainful, it's a different way." My son is young and ignorant, and needs words to coax him. There are many ignorant people in the world, and someone must deceive them. If I don't deceive Confucianism, then Buddhism, Taoism, Western Cross Religion, and Tianfang Religion will deceive. Instead of letting people deceive, it is better for us Confucian scholars to deceive ourselves.

Therefore, what Mr. Yichuan did is meaningful, and it is also right that Master Sumen wants to soften the theory of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. It's just a way to deceive ignorant women and children, not the way that the lower officials want to seek. ”

Uh, good truth, how can it come from Wu Haogu's mouth like this? Can't talk well? How did we Confucians become liars?

Huang Tingjian frowned, but he couldn't refute it. Because Wu Haogu has already broken Cheng Yi's science, how can he refute it? Could it be that he believes in the ethereal principles of heaven? Isn't that talking about your own ignorance?

"And how do you want to follow the path of nature?" Huang Tingjian asked again.

"Start with a trail." Wu Haogu said, "Dongpo meat is a trail, and the wine fairy is also a trail, and countless such trails will gather together to become a natural avenue."

Although it is impossible for our Confucian scholars to touch the avenue in their lifetime, it does not mean that they should give up the pursuit of the natural path. Only our tireless pursuit from generation to generation will it be possible to touch the avenue of nature in the future. This is my way! If Mr. Dongpo can admit me to the school, I will open a college in Yuntai Mountain, in Jiehe Shang City, to specialize in studying and finding nature trails. They would also ask the officials to send missions to the West to seek their natural paths. ”

This guy is really a big Confucian! Huang Tingjian finally understood why Cheng Yi recommended Wu Haogu to Sumen.

Because Wu Haogu is really a great Confucian who can magnify Sumen's learning...... Maybe in another twenty years, no one in the world will say "Su Huang" anymore, and only "Su Wu" will remain.

Huang Tingjian was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Chongdao, you can indeed be a disciple of Mr. I will go to Haizhou with you and recommend you to join Mr.

But I have one condition...... I don't approve of your "Treaty of Commerce!" I agree that you should pursue the natural path, and my generation of Confucian scholars cannot rely on nonsense to do learning. But what you did in Jiehe Commercial City is the way to take chaos! Hou Shisheng's opinion is right! Therefore, in the future, you cannot use the name of the Sumen Scholar to promote the "Republic of Commerce". ”

Wu Haogu took a breath, he already knew that the "Republic Commercial Covenant" would become a big trouble for him in the future!

The Confucians of this era are not only the "ignorant and rotten Confucians" who only know Zhu Cheng's science, they can understand the meaning of pursuing the natural path. In fact, Cheng Yi himself does not really believe that he has peeked into the avenue that Confucius is not known for, he is just making up some nonsense to make up for the Confucian "missing" (in fact, not missing, but unanswered) worldview.

However, the way of social progress represented by the "Republic of Commerce" is paved with blood and tears, and it is by no means the idyllic way pursued by the Song Confucians-after all, most of the Song Confucians are from the countryside, and they represent not the city and industry and commerce, but the countryside and the peasants......
