In the past few days, Fan Zhongyan has been thinking about this matter, and when he first heard Wang Su talk about it, he was only slightly worried, but within a few days, a storm formed in the capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Ping himself didn't think that in fact, his rectification of the three divisions affected the way of many powerful and wealthy families to make money, and a lot of money was driven out of the industry he was involved in before. Now that there is such a breakthrough, and Xu Ping's own farm is an example, all kinds of new furniture are open for sale, and people with a discerning eye can know what this means at a glance.

This situation made Fan Zhongyan worried, and the Great Song Dynasty did not suppress the merger, once the big farms were profitable, it would be bad news for thousands of small farmers. There were a large number of displaced people in the peaceful years, and Fan Zhongyan shuddered when he thought about it.

Seeing that Xu Ping beside him was full of confidence, Fan Zhaoyan sighed secretly in his heart. He didn't know if the young man really understood the seriousness of the matter, whether he knew that if something went wrong, it might ruin his future, and he didn't know if the methods he said could avoid it. However, since stepping into the official career, Xu Ping has brought miracles to the country, and now Fan Zhongyan can only pray that this miracle will continue.

Since Xu Ping caught the first fish, some people caught it one after another. Today's weather is suitable for fishing, and Jinming Pond is only open for a few months a year, and the fish are all raised stupidly.

Wang Su stood on the shore and shouted: "The two of you are waiting to be prepared, the fish here has been roasted, why don't you come and drink a glass of wine to get rid of the cold?" Wouldn't it be better to talk about something while drinking! ”

Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan stood up together, and Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "It is said that Xu Bei's home-brewed wine is the first in the capital, and it has been famous for a long time, and today it will be accepted by the system." ”

With that, the two handed the fishing rod to the little guy next to them and went ashore together.

Fan Zhongyan remarried with his mother when he was a child, and his life was quite hard, even when he was later admitted to the Jinshi as an official, he was also very strict in self-discipline. Of course, he also drinks wine, but he is never greedy for a cup, Xu Ping's house is full of spirits, and he will not buy it to drink. Besides, Fan Zhongyan has to take care of his biological father and stepfather's two families, and his life is not easy.

When they arrived at the set table, everyone greeted the salute and invited Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan to take a seat, and then sat down one after another.

Liu Xiaoyi led people to fill everyone with wine, and Fan Zhongyan raised his glass: "Today, Mengxu is waiting for the hospitality, you have to enjoy the beautiful scenery of smoke and rain, and there is good wine hospitality." Everyone drank this cup and thanked Xu for the preparation. ”

Everyone toasted together and thanked Xu Ping for his hospitality.

After three rounds of drinking, there is no restraint, and they are looking for people to fight for wine, or bury their heads in eating and drinking.

Seeing Ouyang Xiu and Cai Xiang get together, drinking and shouting, while talking about poetry and literature, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but say with envy: "In the end, it is a young man, whether it is learning or doing things, he is full of sharpness and does not fall into the trap. It's not like me, when I reach middle age, I can't achieve anything, and I'm only left with a tired heart. ”

Xu Ping's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "In his prime, he is in the prime of his life, and he is angry with his scholars, and he scolds Fang Xuan." Pointing to the country, inspiring words, the dung was ten thousand households. Only when you are young and have not experienced the world will you have this sharpness. Like Xiwen, after countless ups and downs, even if he has the world in mind, he will only feel that his ambition is unrewarded. But to do things, it still depends on you old adults, young people don't go through some ups and downs, how can you provoke the beam? ”

Fan Zhongyan turned his head, looked at Xu Ping a little strangely, and said after a while: "When these words come out of Yun Xing's mouth, it always makes people feel a little weird. You're only in your early twenties, and you're the same age as those of them, so how can you talk old-fashioned? It's not like me, the old and the young, the state and family affairs, all pressed on their shoulders together. ”

"Because I don't have a veteran and important minister to take care of everything, every bit of the case, every bit of it, I have to do it honestly and alone. It has been seven years since I came out of Lingnan, and I have experienced many setbacks. It's not that I'm boasting, but some of the small political achievements and achievements in the past seven years have been made by me through hard work. The chest is proud, the people are angular, and they are polished little by little. What does it have to do with age? Like a stone bachelor, his beard is white, and he still has a naughty heart. If you look at Gao Rune, who is only forty years old, he inquires like an elderly man in his seventies or eighties. What is the point of this? ”

"Speaking of which, those who studied with Shi Wei are all young and old. Such as Wen Yanbo and Zhang Sheng, they are not much worse. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Zhongyan and Xu Ping laughed together.

Yingchang is proficient in history and classics, and is a famous teacher of this era. There are many people who have studied with him, and the most famous ones are Zhang Sheng, Gao Ruone and Wen Yanbo. Among the three, Wen Yanbo, who is old and respectful, is the most cheerful, and you can imagine what the other two people look like. Their uprightness has reached the point where they are not able to speak.

Speaking of this, Fan Zhongyan asked Xu Ping a sentence that he had been wondering about for a long time: "Yunxing Jin Shi Gaodi, Shi Eun has made outstanding political achievements since the eunuch, why haven't there been any poems and texts handed down?" Don't say that you can't write a good article, I've read most of your movements, it's clearly organized, the narrative is clear, and there are furrows in your chest before you put pen to paper. In recent years, the composition is still quaint, and it is no more gorgeous than the previous years. For example, Yin Shilu and others are all masters in this, and Ouyang Xiu and others have also imitated it. ”

This kind of thing is very difficult to answer, and many good articles are self-confident and good in one go, but more often they are carefully crafted. This carving is also a process of training, in which the ability to compose grows step by step. Xu Ping has never worked this, and it is one thing to write his thoughts in a coherent and clear manner, and it is another thing to condense these into beautiful words. If you don't study and practice for many years, how can you write well?

After thinking for a long time, Xu Ping said: "The article is just a narrative, and the knowledge is not clear, so what if the writing is wild?" ”

"That's right, the article is still a scholarly kung fu after all, and Yun Xing is a good point. No matter how gorgeous the words are, they are just able to be lyricists, and in the end, they still have to look at the chest. However, when it comes to learning, I have read all the books that Yunxing has brought to be printed these days, either agricultural books or counting books, or anecdotal travelogues. As for learning, I haven't seen it, why? ”

Xu Ping looked at Fan Zhongyan, paused for a while and said, "The so-called knowledge is nothing more than physical life. The study of life, the book of ancient sages is full of sweat and cows, I am a posterity, and I dare not speak falsely. Only by starting with physics first, first knowing physics and then knowing the destiny of heaven, knowing the destiny of heaven and knowing human nature. Agriculture and arithmetic are all physics studies, and I did it from here first. ”

At this time, there were several Confucianists who talked about the study of physical life. Of course, most of the physics they talk about starts with yin and yang gossip, talks about the evolution of the universe, and then introduces it to people. Not only is it very different from what later generations said about physics, but it is also very different from what Xu Ping is saying now. But physics is the principle of all things, which is always good, Xu Ping has worked arithmetic and agriculture, and he can make sense from this aspect. Later, the knowledge of things also has this meaning.

Confucianism has a characteristic when talking about learning, whether it is physics or the study of life, it is to first formulate a few basic principles like axioms, and then expand them to form a large system. In terms of life, the typical difference between Mencius and Xunzi is typical. In physics, it was greatly influenced by Taoism and Yin-Yang, and combined with Zhou Yi, he formed his own cosmology.

Academia is the foundation of politics, and whether man is the master of heaven and earth, or the lamb who waits for sin before God, will greatly influence political thought, thus generating different political foundations. If the two don't match, it will be a mess. Politics, in turn, determines many aspects such as society, economy, and military, forming a large cultural system.

Xu Ping thought about it and understood that he was not qualified enough to start in this regard, so he could only fight countless pen and ink lawsuits with other scholars, so it was better to avoid it at the beginning and concentrate on physics in science and technology. This makes sense, and I can make achievements by relying on the memories of my past life, and the promotion of society is also real.

As for the study of politics and life, only by taking it slow can we count which step we can take. The road of humanity is far from the end, and who knows what is right and what is wrong? Just do your part. Maybe one day, I will be able to realize it, and then it will not be too late to work in this direction.

After listening to Xu Ping's words, Fan Zhongyan nodded: "I understand the meaning of Yunxing, you mean, the Three Divisions Engraving Book Bureau specially published these books, and you did it on purpose." Concentrating on physics is also a way to do knowledge, and there are quite a few schools on Jingxi Road that specialize in this science, and you can discuss it with them when you have time. ”

Xu Ping nodded and didn't say anything. The Huangji Sutra is not out of thin air, it has its own inheritance, which is also the orthodoxy of physics at this time. What Xu Ping said is still very different from these, and there is no need to take the initiative to lean over there. The so-called theory of physical life is just an excuse for Xu Ping to do what he is doing now.

Fan Zhongyan said again: "I already understand the meaning of Yun Xing, I will go back as soon as possible for the sets of books that are pressed in the Guozi Prison, and let the three divisions be printed." However, I still have to remind you that astronomy is a taboo in the imperial court, and Yun Xing must pay attention to this aspect, and don't do anything that violates the ban, and the rest is fine. ”

Xu Ping agreed.

If the real astronomical knowledge is printed, who will read it? The real ones who have a heart are those Jianghu Taoist priests who have different thoughts, and they specialize in attaching some Shinto Taoist sayings. It doesn't matter if this knowledge is limited to Si Tianjian, as long as Si Tianjian has a wide range of ways to attract enough talents. At this time, Si Tianjian generally had one or two hundred students, in fact, there were quite a few, and the key was to let them seriously study useful knowledge.

As the words were spoken, Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. By confessing to each other, there is no need for suspicion. The three divisions concentrate on practical technology, while the Guozijian focuses on political science, with a clear division of labor, and the two sides do not disturb each other.

In charge of money and food, Sansi already has a bit of a copper smell in the eyes of some scholars, and it is good to avoid talking about politics, so as not to be raised at every turn, and it is not pleasing to do it.

Xu Ping is willing to do this, and Fan Zhongyan is also willing to do this. (To be continued.) )
