Liu Che took out a booklet from his arms.

The booklet is thin.

It's about twenty or thirty pages, and it's densely packed with text.

This is the progress that comes with technological development.

With the diffusion of white paper manufacturing technology and engraving printing technology.

Now, China's cultural undertakings are soaring faster than those of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

A large number of works of the sages have been printed into books by the Shaofu and private individuals, and special bookstores have appeared in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, and there are even private printing shops to undertake various printing businesses.

Now, the cost of printing a set of 10,000-word books is about 10,000 yuan.

Ordinary people may not be able to afford it, but for a prince like Xu Jiu, it is extremely easy.

According to the report of the embroidered clothes, Xu Jiu engraved a thousand copies of "Minfu" in a private book-engraving workshop in Chang'an, and spent a total of about 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

The book in Liu Che's hand was taken directly by the embroidery guard from the engraving shop.

Liu Che opened the book in his hand, looked at it, and asked, "Aiqing is the heir of Lü Buwei?" ”

This sentence is a pun.

The first meaning is that Lü Buwei once wrote "Lü's Spring and Autumn", and in "Lü's Spring and Autumn", there is a section called Guigong.

There is a sentence in it that will be familiar to future generations.

The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world! The sum of yin and yang, not a long category, when the dew rains, not a selfish thing, the lord of all peoples, not a person.

This can be regarded as a pinnacle of people-oriented thought during the Warring States Period.

So, Lü Buwei died.

This second meaning. It's pretty straightforward.

As everyone knows, there is a sentence that is bound to Lü Buwei: strange goods can live.

The meaning is clear. is asking Xu Jiu, do you want to sell for a good price?

Liu Che asked this to be a temptation.

Ruo Xu Jiu is really a supporter of people-oriented thought. It is impossible for him not to know the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu family, and it is even more impossible for him not to remember the noble chapter.

Then he will definitely be able to hear Liu Che's first meaning.

Not the other way around.

The reason is very simple, if you are not particularly interested, in this era, no one will gnaw on such a tome as the Lu family's Spring and Autumn Period.

Just like ordinary people in later generations, they will not turn over Capital at all.

Even elementary school students know about its fame......

Xu Jiu bowed his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the fourteenth year of the guilty minister, that is, the "Spring and Autumn of the Lu Family" was awarded under the Anliang Gongmen of Chang'an. Twenty years old, that is, to practice by himself, travel around the world, to Longmen Canyon, watch the big river surging, go to the right Beiping, look at the vast expanse, cross the danger of the mountain, enter the southwest mountains. Talking with the elders of the Dian people, you will be in the Fen Plain, and the sacrifice of the soil will be sacrificed......"

Xu Jiu looked up at Liu Che, feeling extremely nervous. But he still said firmly: "The criminal minister is indeed the descendant of Lu Zi!" ”

To be honest, Xu Jiu's answer surprised Liu Che.

Lu Zi. Naturally, it was Lü Buwei.

No matter what the image of Lü Buwei is in people's impressions.

But his compilation of "Lü's Spring and Autumn" is only that. It is enough to make it after its surname, plus the child.

Now. The miscellaneous family has been annexed by the Legalists.

is still insisting, it is estimated that there are only three or two kittens.

This Xu Jiu is a liege, but he plunged into the arms of the miscellaneous family.

This surprised Liu Che very much.

And this Xu Jiu's self-reported experience also made Liu Che feel a lot better about him.

No matter whether Confucianism and Huang Laomo are famous and mixed, anyone who can use his feet to travel most of the world, Liu Che will have a good impression of him.

The reason is simple.

People who can practice it like this, no matter how stupid they are, are much better than those smart people who stay at home.

How can you reach the peak without reading the mountains and seas? How to talk about politics if you don't know the national situation?

The people who shout at the world when they touch their mouths up and down are either idiots or careerists with ulterior motives.

And Xu Jiu's words perfectly explain why he was able to make such a big deal.

If he hadn't traveled all over the world, and even entered and exited the Guansai, how could he have anything to do with the Southwest Yi and the Huns?

Liu Che's eyes softened a little when he looked at him.

However, subconsciously, a question arose in Liu Che's heart.

"Since this Xu Jiu has traveled all over the world and is accustomed to seeing the geography of the rivers and mountains, with his status as a prince, coupled with such experience and insight, it may be difficult to seek a Jiuqing or a certain Cao chief official of the Jiuqing Yamen, but ...... If you just want to be a local county guard or county lieutenant, you only need time......"

The Han regime, so far, the princes and scholars and nobles, were the main forces that constituted the middle and high-level system of the state.

Officials of more than 2,000 koku in counties and counties across the country, or even more than 1,000 koku, basically came from these two classes.

And the lieges have a great advantage in this system.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you are a liege, and then you are willing to be an official, and at the same time have a little ability.

After three or five years in officialdom, the position of a county guard or county lieutenant is easy.

However, Xu Jiu did not choose to join the office, but stayed away from the temple and operated a huge network of smuggling and slave trafficking in the local area and market.

Isn't it doubtful that such a person is worth having?

"I once heard the elders of Guanzhong say: If you are high in the temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will be worried about its king! This is all the gentlemen and gentlemen too! Liu Che asked: "Aiqing once walked the world with a sword, watched the mountains and seas, traveled to the countryside of the county, and lived in the rivers and lakes for a long time. ”

While asking, Liu Che stared at Xu Jiu with his eyes.

Who is the most terrible person in this world?

Of course, there are people who are ambitious, idealistic, ambitious, and at the same time have the ability to act.

This Xu Jiu, in Liu Che's eyes, is undoubtedly such a person.

What makes Liu Che wary is: Liu Che still doesn't know what this Xu Jiu is pursuing.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the sinner has heard that the first born is also heavenly; The keeper of heaven is also a man; Those who can raise the birth of heaven without retinting are also the Son of Heaven. Your Majesty is born sacred, and he sees thousands of miles, and he is stupid with a guilty minister, not as good as His Majesty in case! Xu Jiu took a deep breath and said solemnly: "However, as a minister of His Majesty, the criminal minister is a minister, and he is a minister, so he died to answer Your Majesty: The criminal minister has traveled through Kyushu, looking at the difficulties of the people's livelihood in the sea, and judging the cover of China, he has seen it slightly, and it is all eight characters: the people are the foundation of the country, and the valley is the life of the people!" ”

After Xu Jiu finished speaking, he prostrated his body deeply on the ground, with some nervousness, waiting for the verdict of the Son of Heaven.

He did it at a very high risk.

If he succeeds, then he and the path he adheres to will appear in front of the world in the open, and like Confucianism Huang Laomo, it can be openly disseminated, openly taught, and even become an option for the examination.

If you fail, you will die, there is no doubt about it!

Xu Jiu, the only thing he can pray for now is the Son of Heaven, as he has observed these days.

Indeed, it is a son of heaven who coincides with him ideologically and puts the people first.

Liu Che played with the book "Minfu" in his hand, and then smiled and looked at Xu Jiu.

What Xu Jiu said, Liu Che naturally understood.

The phrase 'the ...... of the first born' is also from the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu family. Meng Chunji.

At the beginning, Lü Buwei's "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" claimed to be both good at Confucianism and ink, and the advantages of the name and law, all of which were connected to the way of a hundred schools.

However, although Lü Buwei wrote Lü's Spring and Autumn Period, he himself died quickly, so his ideas were only words, and did not show any practical effect, or perhaps they were once used politically, but they were brutally erased by Qin Shi Huang.

Today, a hundred years later, I can't imagine that there are still people who are trying the same as Lü Buwei.

Moreover, from the point of view of discourse and point of view, these disciples and grandchildren of Lü Buwei have gone further on the basis of Lü Buwei's exposition.

Even, there are more simple and easy-to-understand slogans such as 'the people are the foundation of the country, and the valley is the life of the people'.

"From this point of view, this book "Minfu" also has Qing's handwriting in it!" Liu Che said: "Let's say, Qing and the others are co-authored by several people, and those people participated in the compilation of this book!" ”

This is an obvious question.

This exposition of the people's wealth, just look at the text, you can know that it is definitely not just a person's views and ideas.

Like "Lü's Spring and Autumn", there are at least three people's ideas mixed in it.

Therefore, there are contradictions in the discourse in some places.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as Liu Che is willing, he can mobilize the power of Shang Shutai, refine these ideas, and build them according to his wishes.

Just like the Chongmin faction that was born out of the Simeng school in Luoyang now. (To be continued.) )
