Chapter 16: Who's Coming Later to Blow the Whip (Part II)

[This chapter is written very slowly, after all, it is not a major.] 】

It is certainly a good thing that all farmers in the world can use cheap iron farming tools. However, whether Zhao Ji can accept this proposal, or whether he can persistently implement it after accepting the proposal, is another matter. Han Gang is well aware of this.

Large-scale dumping to dramatically lower the price of steel products not only threatens to divert steel into enemy countries, but also loses a lot of profit - at least on the face of it - and deprives many blacksmiths of their livelihoods. It is unlikely that such a policy will continue.

This is different from the new law. The new law can enrich the treasury and make the imperial court, even if the old party is appointed for the sake of the court today, it will not change its intention to continue to implement the new law. Seeing a lot of profit loss, who would think about the hard work of the people? -- Hasn't this been the case for thousands of years? When the time comes, a Liao people's purchase of agricultural tools can make the Son of Heaven change his tune.

But this proposal is good for the vast majority of the people, and there is nothing to lose by putting it forward. It's just that if you want to really implement it, you should wait until you become the prime minister or the ruling party and can influence the government.

Having said that, Han Gang actually has a way to make money. Wang Anshi and Feng Congyi's letters have arrived today, one is borrowed from the imperial court's post book, and the other is from the caravan of SF Express.

Han Gang has long wanted to make good use of the post system that spreads all over the world, and it is also a great source of money, and the postal service is a big business to make money. At present, the imperial court throws millions of yuan of real money into the post station every year, even if it can only help earn one or two percent for a while, it is more than ten or two hundred thousand, and it will only increase in the future.

It's just that Han Gang is not in a hurry about this matter, the Son of Heaven is worried that his family has always made meritorious contributions, and now he writes a recital table and proposes to go up, which is also a part of a separate volume. It's better to let it go.

"Daizhou's is put in advance." Han Gang said with a smile, "If there is really anything, it will be a few years later, and it can't be now." For now, let's take a break for a while. It's good that the old enemy for decades is over. ”

Zhi Keshi echoed: "My brother also wrote a letter the day before yesterday to say that I don't know how to pass the time." ”

"When you have free time, read more books." Huang Shang said, "In addition to practicing martial arts and practicing the art of war, I also take reading books as a pastime. I just don't like to learn the scriptures, but reading history can know the past war examples, and there is a way to make up for the use of soldiers. ”

"My brother's biggest fear is reading, and when I see white and black characters, my brain hurts, and I don't expect to change it for the rest of my life." Zhe Keshi smiled self-deprecatingly, the children of the Jiangmen family, the history of the scriptures was also taken a look at when they were young, after they got older, except for those who like to read, most of the children would rather practice archery and horses, not only fold but be one bigger, "But the sixteenth uncle of the family has always loved to read, and there is a circle of bookshelves on the wall of the house, all of which are subsets of the scriptures and history." A few days ago, I asked my younger brother to go to the market to find Su Laoquan's historical collection and send it back. There is not a single bookstore in Fuzhou, and there is only a grocery store selling yellow calendars, and there is nowhere to buy the Six Classics. ”

"What is there to see about Su Xun's historiography." Huang Sheng shook his head, "Old Su and his son are used to talking from a young age. On the six countries, Lao Su said that the disadvantage was bribing Qin, Da Su turned to Qin, and Xiao Su only said that the six countries could not work together. They all see only one of them, and they don't see the rest. Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, defeated them, defeated them, defeated them, and won the hearts of the people, why did the Six Kingdoms not perish? The death of Qin is an invincible battle, an unfavorable relationship, and the people's hearts turn away from ......"

"Alright, alright." Han Gang made a gesture of moderation, "If you want to criticize the historical theory of the Su family's father and son, you have to let people read it before you can say it." If you say no, who will be convinced? ”

The historical theory of the Three Sus has been widely circulated in the world. One or two of them have been handed down for thousands of years in later generations. Han Gang has basically read through it and thinks it's very interesting, but it's just interesting. At first glance, it looks very flavorful, but after watching too much, it becomes greasy. And there are many things that don't make sense. It's just that others want to read it, and Han Gang doesn't feel the need to be indignant.

Huang Shang came to his senses, Zhe Keshi was not the same person who argued with him, arched his hand, and then smiled apologetically.

Zhi Keshi smiled and shook his head, indicating that it didn't matter. He said to Han Gang again: "I remember that Long Tu once said that the father and son of the Su family are first-class in the Zongheng family, and what they have learned is not correct. ”

These words were said by Jiayue, and I just paraphrased them at the beginning. However, most of today's Confucian people see it this way. Han Gang smiled and added, "I'm no exception. ”

Su Xun's disadvantage is that he bribed Qin, catering to the current situation of Yuan Hao raising troops to establish a country during the Renzong period, and he used the past to satirize the present and oppose giving the Western Xia years to rest the army. It is not about the six countries for the sake of the six countries. Speaking of reasoning, it is really very biased to evaluate it in the environment of the last years of the Warring States period.

Su Shi's theory of the Six Kingdoms deviated from the topic and became a theory of passing through Qin. Don't say why the Six Kingdoms died, don't say why Qin won the world. only said that Qin died quickly, but because he did not raise soldiers. As long as the four people of 'wisdom, courage, debate, and strength' can be raised, the remaining foolish people will have no one to lead, and they will not have to worry about being oppressed. With such a point of view, when it comes to the bad of the exemption law, that is, if the official eunuchs are missing the people who are in front of the government, they will be 'too withered, and the kitchen will be depressed, like the bad wind of the dangerous state, and I am afraid that it will not be a grand view of peace.' ’

As for Su Zhe's theory of the Six Kingdoms, it has only recently spread among Shilin. It is said that the fall of the Six Kingdoms is to sit back and watch Zhao Chu and Qi Yan sit back and watch the Qin people attack Han Wei, who has the hinterland of the Central Plains, and when Han Wei is destroyed, the Four Kingdoms will not be able to survive alone. It is not wrong from the geographical strategy of the world, but it is of no practical significance to expect the six countries of Shandong to help each other for many years, and it is better to expect the old sow to climb trees.

The purpose of Sansu's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" is to move the world, and it does not care whether the rhetoric is right or wrong, far-fetched or not. In Confucianism, this is intolerable. In the view of Confucianism, the truth should be an eternal rule, how to see people and talk about people, and talk nonsense when you see ghosts? Therefore, Wang Anshi's comments on Su Xun and Su Shi are most serious that he has not learned correctly, but is a vertical and horizontal technique.

And not only Wang Anshi, Er Cheng, but also Zhang Zai, all criticized Su Xun's historical theory, and it was Su Zhang and his ilk. Speaking at both ends and always trying to prove the big with the small, is the means of the Zongheng family.

Han Gang briefly explained these points, and Zhi Keshi nodded, "I see." ”

"And that's not all." Huang Shang, who was sitting quietly, suddenly said again, "If it is just because of historical theory, it is said that Sansu is a first-class family, then it is slanderous." Su Mingyun's "Book of Authority", "Balance Theory", and "Several Strategies", Su Zizhan before participating in the system, on the "Commentary" 25 articles, "Advance Strategy" 25 articles, and even Su Ziyou slandered Renzong with hearsay in the system examination. ”

Huang Shang's words became intense, "In addition, the mistakes of the Su family's father and son are not limited to historical theories. Su Mingyun has "The Theory of Change", saying that the difficulty of "Yi" is deliberate by the sage. 'Explore the vastness, the secret of the rope, the child and the habit, the white head but not the source'. The learning of the saint is unfathomable, as high as the sky, the seclusion of the gods, so the world respects the saint and does not dare to disobey. In other words, the saint is a trick, just like a witch and a god who sells talisman water. This remark made the saint look down on him shallowly. Therefore, it is a method in the vertical and horizontal arts, how can it be the right way of Confucianism? ! In the eyes of a thief, everyone is a thief, this is an example! ”

Zhi Keshi was a little stunned, it was the first time he had seen Huang Sheng so excited. And Huang Shang smashed out of the phone, and after realizing it, he felt out of shape, apologized, and sat down to drink tea.

The battle for Taoism is like a great enemy of life and death. From Huang Shang's body, you can see it clearly. Han Gang shook his head secretly, and his heart was also a little awe-inspiring.

A few days ago, he had just received several annotations from Su Zhe on "Spring and Autumn". I thought about taking it out and commenting on it with Huang Shang. In the "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn" classics, Huang Shang has a high attainment. Moreover, Han Gang also has Su Shi's annotation of "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, which is just right to study the views of the two Su brothers together. But looking at Huang Shang's appearance now, I'll wait for two days.

However, Han Gang's deeper impression of Su Shi's views on classics was his great refutation of the book "The Mean". And Huang Shang's prejudice against Sansu's father and son also comes from this. Su Shi said that the book of "The Mean" is sluggish and incomprehensible, and the sweat is unexaminable. He also said that the author of "The Mean" thought about the way of the sage but could not obtain it, so he was 'unknowable in writing', which means that Zisi did not understand and pretended to understand, and then pretended to be profound and deceived future generations. And later generations were bluffed by it, 'bullying each other as high, and accustoming each other as deep'.

This is completely contrary to the views of Zhangmen, Chengmen, and even Xinxue. But Han Gang has two or three points in favor. He has always advocated simplicity and opposes speaking in the void. It is enough to take moderation as a code of conduct, if you drill the words and indulge in the scriptures, it is no different from the Han Confucianism who is poor in the scriptures. To be clear and useful, the key is to practice the 'use' in the world! If he wanted to practice natural science, he really had to spend too much effort on the Confucian classics, but he went astray.

"Su father and son, their fallacies are very clear, but they don't have to worry about messing with my righteous path." Han Gang said slowly, "Those who are worried, do specious remarks, specious theories. It seems to be reasonable, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false. In fact, it is wrong and leads people away from the right path. ”

Zhe Keshi held his breath, although he didn't understand it, but there was an inexplicable sense of oppression in Han Gang's flat tone.

Zi said: Hometown wishes, the thief of Lourdes. How can the hometown be a thief, 'not without action, thorn without thorns, with the customs, in line with the world, like faithfulness, like honesty, everyone is pleased, self-righteous, and can not be with the way of Yao Shun, so it is called "the thief of virtue". ''Evil weeds, afraid of its chaotic seedlings; Evil, afraid of its righteousness; Evil mouth, fear of its disorderly faith; Evil Zheng Sheng, afraid of its chaotic music; Evil purple, afraid of its chaos Zhu also; Evil wishes, fear of its chaos and morality. Han Gang took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "These can be summed up in just four words, which are plausible." So it is with man, and so it is with the Word. Those who mess with the avenue are also on this paradox......"

Huang Shang sat up straight, pursed his lips, and his eyes were firm.

Although Han Gang's words were not explicit, his attitude was already obvious. To sum up, there is no contradiction between good and evil. For other schools, it is necessary to harden it.
