The emperor's private virtues can not be discussed, yes, but they must be divided into occasions, and this kind of occasion is not allowed, this is the unspoken rule of society.

But Gu Wei did not pursue this, but immediately counterattacked: "The boss is wrong, filial piety? What is filial piety? For ordinary people, it is to honor their parents, for scholars and gate valves, it is to keep the origin of family learning, and for the emperor, the requirements are even higher, that is, to keep the country and the people passed down by the ancestors, so that it can be called filial piety." ”

This remark was upright and irrefutable, Wei Dian couldn't continue, and sat down dejectedly, Liu Han was secretly sarcastic in his heart.

"Lord Gu's words are sharp and admirable," an old man next to Bai Mei said coldly: "However, my Great Jin Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and the royal family and the scholar clan govern together, which is the foundation of my Great Jin." If the program of governing the country collapses, the chaos in the world is just around the corner, how can the people of the country come from!"

"The sage said that the way to govern the country must first enrich the people, and if the people are rich, it will be easy to govern, and if the people are poor, it will be difficult to govern. Those who take risks are often the ones who have no surplus food and are poor and have no cones," Gu Wei is very familiar with the Taoist canon and applies it casually, this is the governing chapter of the Taoist canon.

Liu Han has read this, this article is ostensibly about the way to govern the country, but in fact it is mercantilism, so it has always been disliked by orthodox scholars, and the general academy does not recognize it, nor does it explain, it belongs to the remote school in the Taoist classics, and few people dabble in it.

"Absurd, the way of governing the country is to educate the people, to stand up for words and deeds, to respect the virtuous, and to be close to the virtuous and far from the villain. ”

"Mingxi Mountain Chief thinks that the Dao Dian is also wrong?" Gu Wei asked rhetorically.

"The Taoist canon is all-encompassing, and the ideas of the saints are also diverse, and it is inevitable that some dross will seep into them, and they will be used by those who are consumed by profit. Mingxi Mountain Chief said coldly.

In the history of tens of thousands of years, countless people have studied the Taoist classics, and the non-mathematical school was born, and each school has reinterpreted and rearranged the Taoist classics, and eliminated those contents that are different from their own schools, among which there is a mercantile way of governing the country.

"The Taoist canon is the source of all learning in the world, and it was compiled by the predecessors of the sages, and since the sages have compiled and accepted this article, it shows that the sages agree with this truth. Gu Wei's expression suddenly became serious, and he said categorically: "The younger generation of Mingxi Mountain dare not agree with this. ”

Liu Han has always been skeptical of the Taoist classics, he has studied the origin of the Taoist classics, but no one knows who wrote and compiled the Taoist classics, but everyone admits that the Taoist classics are the source of all learning in the world, and even the people in the hidden immortal sect admit this.

"There are three thousand avenues, each with its own merits, governing the country and people, each taking what he needs, it doesn't matter whether he is superior or inferior. Mr. Jumu said slowly, very surprised that he did not support the chief of Mingxi Mountain, the chief of Mingxi Mountain frowned, his expression was displeased, but he did not fight back.

"Zihan said that benefit and virtue are benevolent," another mountain chief said, "Dare to ask Lord Gu, what do you mean by this?"

On the surface, this is the relationship between the saint to benefit, virtue and benevolence, the saint believes that benevolence is the core, and the implementation of benevolence must talk about virtue, but whether it is virtue and benevolence, you can not avoid benefit, but the purpose of the saint is not profit, but virtue and benevolence, which are not in conflict. ”

Liu Han immediately noticed that Gu Wei was a little powerless and a little reluctant when explaining this problem, and the other party was afraid that he would have to fight back from this.

Sure enough, the mountain chief seized the opportunity and immediately said: "Lord Gu may have misinterpreted the meaning of the sage, the meaning of the sage is that the gentleman values virtue rather than profit, and when the first emperor was there, he respected the rule of virtue by virtue, but now the court is full of people who value profit, and the small people follow suit. ”

"Yuxiang Mountain Chief is too worried," Gu Wei said: "The small people are already profitable, and the imperial court should also be profitable, the imperial court has three important things, sacrifice, soldiers, and people, each of which must be made with silver, not to mention profit, the court can continue." ”

"Shameless!" Mingxi Mountain grew up and shouted: "In the imperial court, how can there be a person like you! Why don't the world collapse!"

"The world is broken?!" Gu Wei was still very calm, smiled and said: "Mingxi Mountain has been worried, today I am speaking for the sake of the court, for the benefit of all the people in the world, Mr. is not here today, why?

Mingxi and Yuxiang were suddenly speechless, Gu Wei's counterattack was very tricky, you said that I, Gu Wei, are here today to implement the new tax system, it is for the benefit of words, are you arguing here for the benefit of words? I, Gu Wei, are upright and upright for the court and the people, who are you?

Liu Han breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Wei barely passed this level, but it was obvious that the opponent did not give up.

------------------------------------

The little girl sensitively walked through the crowd, ran into the teahouse, got into the tearoom, and handed the transcript to the girl sitting in front of the window.

"Miss, give. The little girl took a breath, wiped the beads of sweat, picked up the teacup, and drank it without the slightest gesture.

"Don't worry, don't worry, be careful of choking. The chubby Saim sat on the side, slowly shaking the folding fan, the little girl was very appreciative, and smiled at Saiem gratefully.

In addition to the three of them, there were two other people sitting on the other side of the room, one with a big beard and the other a slightly shorter middle-aged man, who sat silently in the corner, as if they didn't exist.

Saim turned his head and said to the girl again, "Ziyan, don't worry. ”

Saim had no intention of coming here to observe the debate, but the Purple Smoke Girl sent someone and asked him to bring herself.

"With my understanding of Liu Han, he doesn't look at him as a very high cultivation, in fact, he is cautious, such an occasion, others may think that it is an opportunity to become famous in the world, but his thoughts are probably completely different. ”

Ziyan raised her head and asked curiously, "Why is this?"

In his opinion, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, pigs are strong, they should be killed, and when people become famous, there will be more staring, and the danger will be greater. ”

Saim betrayed Liu Han with a smile, Ziyan didn't say anything, the little girl sneered, wiped the water on her lips, and interjected with a smile: "The shopkeeper is really interesting, Liu is famous all over the world, and it is not famous enough." ”

"If my guess is correct, I'm afraid the circumstances forced me to do so. Saim replied with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Sai, have you known each other in the Western Regions for a long time?" The little girl is very clever and knows the young lady's thoughts.

Saim looked down, as if it had entered the halftime break, and there had been no record for a while, and the scholars' interest was still very high, and they were talking loudly.

"Counting now, it has been seven or eight years, when he was in the salt business and weaving business in the Western Regions, and the money was not available for a while, so he borrowed money from me, and the interest was very low, and we have been working together ever since. Saiem's tone was a little smug, thinking that he had made a lot of money during this time.

"Didn't the shopkeeper make a lot of money. The little girl was very pleasing and immediately helped Saim say it.

Saim was so happy that the little girl said proudly, "Look, I'm right." ”

After Ziyan saw it, her eyebrows spread, and her slender hand put the record in front of Saim: "Mr. Liu still said, you can take a look." ”

Saim sighed softly, picked up the record, quickly swept the ten lines at a glance, and praised him: "This Gu Wei is amazing, Mr. Jumu Zhizhen, the chief of Baimei Mountain, and the chief of Mingxi Mountain have all been refuted by him, even if he loses this debate, he is enough to be proud." ”

"Shopkeeper Sai, do you think this new system is good or bad?" Ziyan asked in confusion.

"I know that," Saim said with a smile, "When I bring Liu Han here that day, you can ask him personally." ”

"That's a good idea. The little girl immediately shouted, Ziyan glared at her, and the little girl stuck out her tongue and pretended to be afraid and lowered her head.

Saim laughed: "Okay, when the time comes, he will definitely be brought here and handed over to your girl for strict interrogation." ”

Ziyan sighed softly, turned his head to look at the academy, his expression was full of yearning, and Saim sighed: "It's almost noon, are you hungry, or let's go eat something first." ”

Ziyan condensed slightly, smiled reluctantly, nodded, Saim got up, let out a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look out the window, and sighed with a smile.

"Isn't this Liu Han the Liu Han of the Three Earthquake Emperor Capitals? Isn't he the fake captain of the Qin Mission's Camp Tiger Benwei?"

Sheng Huai's expression was a little puzzled, there was actually a Liu Han in addition to Gu Wei, who was still the new Qincha fake lieutenant and controlled the national soldiers of Yangzhou County.

Wang Bo knew best in his heart that Wang Ze was still at home now, but he didn't speak, Deng Run nodded: "This person is both humanistic and martial, and it is said that there is a grandmaster who has cultivated, and he has been in the limelight in the imperial capital in the past two years." ”

"This person is the owner of Hanhai Trading Company who returned from the Western Regions three years ago, and we have his branch in Yangzhou, and his cloth is very famous. Wang Ze added.

"Oh, I remembered. Sheng Huai was silent for a while before he said slowly: "In the past few years, the court has become more and more disorderly in employing people. ”

--------------------------------------

In the alley, the business of the tea shop was very prosperous, and the scholars filled the few tables they had, talking loudly without any scruples, and Fan Shou was busy diligently, occasionally watching the gentlemen's expressions full of joy.

Ye Xiu stood alone under the plum tree, looking at the slow river, a few boats swimming on the river, she held a few records in her hand, and her expression was a little lonely.

In the gambling house, the knife shook his still somewhat dizzy head, scolded at the guy, looked back at the flow of people on the street, and sighed deeply in his heart.

-------------------------------------

Lu Qiao and the others did not go out to eat, but asked the tea shop to book two tables for them in Honghu Tower, and the guards ate next door, and they were in the private room.

The food is very rich, and the craftsmanship of the master of Honghu Lou is still so good, but several people have no appetite, and the room is very dull.

Lu Qiao ate half a bowl and put it down, got up and walked to the window, and looked at the street silently.

Yu Wen also put down the bowl and came over to stand side by side with him.

"Lord Wang, have you had a reply?" Yu Wen asked in an inaudible voice.

Lu Qiao turned his head to look at him, and Yu Wen lowered his head with some shame.

-----------------------------------------

The academy did not provide lunch, and Gu Wei and Liu Han did not go out, but asked people to order some meals at will, and they ate in the small garden.

Liu Han invited Mr. Jumu and Mr. Zhizhen to come, and the two of them did not shy away from suspicion, and in the eyes of everyone, they came over together.
