As soon as Huo Hai came up, he blamed the aristocratic argument for the accumulated corruption in the court to the aristocratic people. No one in the house had ever heard of it, including Cai Yong who had actually left after leaving the back hall.

"What are you doing with your father?" In the backyard of Cai Mansion, Cai Zhaoji saw Cai Yong, who was leaning against her body and listening to the conversation in the front hall, asked curiously.

After Cai Yong booed Cai Zhaoji, he whispered, "An uninvited guest came to his house, let's hear what he said."

"Uninvited guest?" When the young and jumpy Cai Zhaoji heard this, she immediately became interested and attached her ear to the wall with many holes exposed.

In the past, she had often eavesdropped on her father’s conversation with her guests like this.

In the hall, the conversation between Huo Hai and Xun Yu was still continuing. Xun Yu disagrees with Huo Hai's argument because, according to his opinion, the reason why the current situation in the world is the cause of the gentry, how is this possible?

The gentry can be said to be the best and most capable people in this era. It is not an exaggeration to call them the backbone of this nation. They can control the army when they get on horseback, and can control the people when they get off horseback. They have strict family tutoring and moderate behavior. They are all wrong. Is there any right person in this world?

"I am sorry that Huo Ping's difficult words are unanimous. Talents in the world are born in the gentry. This is because the gentry and cultivation system are the best. They just use their own methods and do their best to educate the younger generations, so that these talents can be officials and lead the people in the court. This is nothing wrong in itself.

Because?                                                              �

Unfortunately, the talented people cultivated by the gentry did not truly grasp the right to speak? Formulate and implement the court's policies.

In the current political system, is the imperial power greater than the regime in the hands of the three dukes? Can eunuchs control the imperial power? Destroy court politics? The relatives of the foreigners have mastered military power and are profit-oriented. It can be said that eunuchs and relatives are the main causes of the world's decay." After Xun Yu finished speaking, he stared at Huo Hai's eyes and said.

What he said? Actually, it was a bit offensive to others. However, this is the mainstream perception of the current aristocratic clans. Even if the Ten Changshi and He Jin heard what he said, they would not do anything to him.

Touching him?     It is equivalent to being an enemy of all the gentry.

And the children of the gentry at the end of the Han Dynasty were indeed capable? When the court was fine, could they suppress them a little? But once there was something wrong, they had to rely on them to save the country.

Take the Yellow Turban Rebellion last year as an example? If it weren’t for Liu Hong’s opening of the Party and the Filing Forces? Appointing talented people from various families to lead the troops? At this time, Zhang Jiao should be the emperor in Luoyang City. Can you rely on the idiots like He Jin and the Ten Changshi to do it?

Definitely not possible.

However, is this the same thing as Huo Hai talking about?

No, what Huo Hai said is that there was something wrong with the approach and thinking of the aristocrats.

So, after Xun Yu refuted him, he smiled and said, "What I am talking about is thinking. There is something wrong with the practice, but it does not mean that the existence of the gentry is wrong.

In fact, I agree with what you said, the model of talented people being led by the gentry, but the gentry should not be as narrow as it is now.

First of all, the gentry now has separated themselves from the people and regarded them as two classes. I call this problem separate from the masses.

Why are only the Xun family's clans able to go to the Xun family, but other ordinary people cannot go to the Xun family?

Can't these people become talents through learning?

It is certainly not. Any people can become talents through learning, and a talent and a foolish person have different work efficiency and output.

On the contrary, no matter how hard a person works, he can only be a person who can barely eat his stomach or even his stomach cannot eat. Do you think he will work hard?

Won't.

If most people are strangled to strive for progress, most people in this country will be foolish. Can the results obtained by a few smart people commanding so many fools be compared with the smartest people and smart people doing things?

Surely not.

The head of your Xun family said, when will the class start, when will the martial arts be practiced, when will the farming be cultivated, how to read, how to practice martial arts be the most effective, how to farm is the best harvest, your Xun family's children can do it.

He sets up any good rules and regulations in his clan and you will abide by them, because you have read books, understand the truth, and know what is right and what is wrong.

But the people do not read and do not understand the truth.

They may not even know the twenty-four solar terms, and if there is a dispute, they will not be able to reason to resolve it. Instead, they will be able to make a fist. This will cause them to be unable to eat enough and raise their flags to rebel. Because they do not understand the truth, they do not follow the truth.

I think this should be the reason why Confucius traveled around the countries, with no distinction between teaching and his efforts to promote education.

Now, what the gentry did was exactly the opposite of Confucius' philosophy. They were monopolizing education and even monopolizing production technology, which led to the ignorance of the people and unable to form a society where everyone is like a dragon."

Huo Hai's words were very long and easy to understand. Even Chu Yan, who had never read books, understood it. His last sentence, "It cannot form a society where everyone is like a dragon" shocked Xun Yu's mind. Even Cai Yong, who was hiding behind the wall, raised his eyebrows and nodded meaningfully.

Originally, he just wanted Huo Hai to see his attitude and leave.

Now, he wanted to keep Huo Hai for a deep discussion, because he has a high perspective on the problem, which inspired him.

"Could it be that Huo Ping could not believe that there was a problem with the ideas and practices of the gentry. Is it because the gentry did not promote education to ordinary people?" Xun Yu did not deny that what Huo Hai said was correct, but he did not agree, because it was too unrealistic to let everyone study and become talents like him, and it was too expensive.

He also knew that Huo Hai had not said all of his words, so he continued to ask for advice.

"Actually, I never thought of asking the gentry to promote education. Although the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, but it is unrealistic to not ask the gentry to take over everything.

I just hope that they will not monopolize education and technology, so that those who want to learn can make progress in learning, and can produce more and more. This will already make this country and the nation a big step forward.

Just like I brought my two brothers to Cai Yilang's mansion today, I believe you can see that he doesn't want to teach him.

But if you were two of your Xun family members, needless to say, you must be the guests in this hall, and he would teach knowledge carefully."

When Huo Hai said this, Cai Yong's old face turned red. It turned out that this bandit knew everything.

Huo Hai continued, "Let me talk about the previous question, why can't the gentry assist the emperor, establish correct systems, and implement them?

Because they were wrong, they put their interests first and set up systems that are most beneficial to themselves, not everyone. This leads to fewer supporters and weak strength, and cannot completely influence the direction of the country. After all, it is still caused by the masses.

The emperor least hopes that the world will be in chaos because it will destroy his core interests. To put it bluntly, he is the representative of the gentry in the world.

If all the gentry can also bind their own interests with the interests of the country and with the prosperity and development of this nation, then they will definitely receive the greatest support. At that time, no one can stop the gentry from doing things that are beneficial to everyone, and this country and this nation will truly become stronger."

"I can only say that your idea is ideal, but it is actually impossible to achieve, because people are selfish. There are too few saints who can break through their own selfish desires. Even if there are, they will be regarded as aliens by others and will not end up well in the end." Xun Yu looked at Huo Hai with a slight appreciation, but still shook his head.

"That's because there is no pioneer who lets all the gentry see the benefits of doing this, and I should be considered this pioneer." Huo Hai smiled.

"You? A bandit who was raising the flag to rebel a year and a half ago?" Xun Yu was a little puzzled and said without hesitation.

He had seen the harm caused to the world by the Yellow Turban Army with his own eyes. If you want to say who is the one who looks down on them most in this world, they must be children of aristocratic families like Xun Yu.

"I was a bandit who raised the flag to rebel last year, but this year I was the General of the Crown General of the Court. I supported more than three million ordinary people who were unwilling to support.

So, I am stronger than any gentry in any place. It is these more than three million people who have created wealth and accumulated strength for me. Whoever is not convinced or wants to compete with me for financial, material and military strength can try it." Huo Hai said with a domineering look on his face.

"What measures the strength of the gentry is not financial and military strength, but culture, and inheritance ability." Xun Yu denied.

Huo Hai smiled and said, "With financial resources, material resources, military power, and other things, you will have them."

"How can I see it?" Xun Yu said in confusion.

Huo Hai took out a paper book from his arms and asked Zhao Yun to hand it to Xun Yu sitting opposite him.

"This is?"

"Book.

The newly-made product from my Heishan Village, called Thousand Characters, is a book used for enlightenment. Because I have enough people and enough raw materials, I can print 10,000 copies every day in my Heishan Village workshop. At most, before the start of spring plowing, the more than three million people under the control of Heishan Village can make one copy of it."

The data from Huo Hai's poster was a bit scary, and Xun Yu, who held the thousand-character text printed on the white paper in his hand and flipped through it, looked even more shocked.

"The heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast and vast..."

He had never seen a book of Thousand Words, so light and so clear and neatly fonts.

Just kidding, Huo Hai could have come to invite Cai Yong to teach in Heishanzhai. Can you impress others if you don’t have any things you can take?

You know, Cai Yong was the first book collector of this era. The largest house in his family was used to collect books, with as many as tens of thousands of volumes. Huo Hai wanted to discuss the business of printing books, so of course he was looking for him.
