"Antique?"

Hearing this, Su Yun was suddenly a little displeased, and argued: "The art of the sages is originally a great way, how can we easily abandon it? Ignoring the way of the sage, I am afraid that we will forget the root." ”

After all, he was full of academic edification, so he was very indignant when he heard that Yang Chenglong belittled the learning of the philosophers.

"The study of the philosophers?" Yang Chenglong felt amused, and complained: "If it was the pre-Qin era, then the old learning might be useful." However, the world is easier, and after thousands of years of changes, how can it be applied today? If we are confined to the old learning, we are just trapped in a desperate place. ”

Zeng did have a slight movement on his face, but in his heart, he recognized three points.

But Su Yun was resolute, and said: "Old learning?

Since there is an old learning, then there is a new learning in relative nature.

And for Su Yun, who has always regarded the way of Confucius and Mencius as a belief, he naturally felt unforgivable and almost crazy.

Zeng did see it, and hurriedly grabbed Su Yun, and then complained to Yang Chenglong: "Mr. Guan has an extraordinary bearing, and he should be the master of poetry and books." But why is this conclusive?"

"That's right. Today, I'm going to see what your new learning is. Su Yun's face was angry, and she looked at Yang Chenglong, wanting to see what was going on in this person's heart.

"Oh, do you want to know? In that case, I'll talk to you. Yang Chenglong smiled loudly, quite confident.

"Your old learning was created by ancient men. At that time, the human race lived in groups as clans, resisting the natural disasters of wild beasts, frost and dew, cutting thorns, and putting the prosperity of the human race today. As for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to the frequent battles and wars among various countries, there were sages to sort it out, and there was an old school that spread in the land of China. You know the process. ”

Taking a long breath, Yang Chenglong slowed down his voice and looked at Su Yun with a smile.

Su Yun closed her head and replied, "That's right. You go on!"

"But do you know that in the pre-Qin period, the population was only a million, and the land was vast. Even if it is a well-off family, if you cultivate diligently, you can have a hundred acres of land. Therefore, the feudal system prevails, and what matches it is all kinds of rituals, just to be able to be at peace with each other, so as not to cause trouble in vain. ”

Yang Chenglong murmured: "But now my Great Song Dynasty people are thriving, and there are tens of millions of people, but their land is extremely narrow. You must know that if a family can live smoothly, it needs three or five acres of land. If the whole world wants to do this, it will cost more than 30 million acres, to say the least. There are more powerful and inferior gentry who are oppressed, and the land divided is even rarer. You say, "If you continue to use rituals and laws, is it possible?"

Su Yun faintly felt frightened, and argued forcefully: "Even if this is the case, we must not easily abandon the ancestral law. ”

"Ha!" Yang Chenglong smiled again: "Very good." Then you should also know that in ancient times, it was only slash-and-burn farming, and one acre of land was less than a hundred, so you need to get a hundred acres of land to support yourself. However, since the beginning of the dynasty, the promotion of Champong rice has not only built canals for irrigation, but also worked day and night to get rid of diseases, so that today's yield per mu is 3,500. Otherwise, how can we support a family with only three or five acres of land?"

"That being the case, what does this have to do with the study of the philosophers?" Su Yun argued.

"Of course it does. Yang Chenglong replied: "You also know that there are differences between ancient and modern. Not to mention many things, but since the advent of artillery. If you rely on ancient methods to train soldiers, it is just a way to die. For the country, it also changes from time to time, so that it can achieve long-term stability. You say it's not?"

The reason why he used agriculture to explain the relationship between the new and the old is only because everyone is familiar with this thing and it is easy to explain.

Su Yun felt a little strange, and said, "Even so, how can you explain that the old school is no longer suitable for today's world?"

"Huh. If you think about it, you understand the key. What's more, the so-called old learning may not be as you say, all of them are written by the sages. ”

Su Yun thought for a moment, nodded and replied, "Didn't it be written by the sages, what do you mean by that?"

That's what it means literally. Yang Chenglong said with a smile: "And this matter is not what I said, but it was written by Yu Wenwei, the head of Chongzhi Academy." ”

Su Yun was a little surprised, and asked again: "Yu Wenwei, isn't it Yu Wenwei, a scholar of Longtu Pavilion? But does it mean that he died in the war as early as when Mongolia went south?"

"Definitely. However, at the beginning, thanks to the help of Xiao Yuexiao of the Red Phoenix Army, he was spared. Since then, he has joined the Red Phoenix Army. Yang Chenglong replied.

Su Yun was puzzled and asked, "Why don't you join the Red Phoenix Army?"

"Haha. You also know what he has been subjected to, in that case, how can you talk about letting him go back?" Yu Wenwei chuckled, but it was full of ridicule.

"That's just as well. Su Yun felt the same way, and couldn't help but gloom.

The reason why he came here is also for general reasons, so it is not surprising.

It's a pity that during the Long March, the predecessors were already sick because of overwork, and after coming to Chang'an, they couldn't last a few years and died of illness. Yang Chenglong explained helplessly.

Su Yun's eyes widened and asked, "Passed away?"

"That's right. And before he died, he began to translate the stone tablets in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!" Yang Chenglong nodded and replied: "It's a pity that this matter is very huge, and it is difficult for him to succeed alone, so he established Chongzhi Academy, intending to use the power of everyone to make the study of the pre-Qin Dynasty reappear in the world! Otherwise, how could he have this conclusion?"

"The talent of the predecessors can show the sun and the moon. We can only admire. ”

Su Yun and Zeng Cheng looked gloomy, and they didn't dare to slack off at all about that senior.

Yang Chenglong bowed his head as a respect, and then suddenly chuckled and said meaningfully: "That's nature." It's just that after I looked through the books, I found one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You should know the Four Books and the Five Classics. Yang Chenglong did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Of course I do!" Su Yun said.

This is a classic that he has memorized since he was a child, and it can be said that he has memorized it backwards.

"That's good. Do you know that many of these four books and five classics were made up by later generations. And we searched all over it, but there was no trace. Yang Chenglong looked at Su Yun with a deep smile, and told this fact indifferently.

"What did you say?"

Su Yun's whole person was stunned.

Since enlightenment, he has been studying the Fa painstakingly, and it is all fake?

Immediately afterwards, Su Yun looked at Yang Chenglong with a serious face, and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course. You must know that after the collapse of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the classics in the tomb were perfectly preserved and placed in the former Chongzhi Academy. Anyone who needs to step into it and see what is written on it. Yang Chenglong replied firmly.
