Chapter 284 Drive the lazy donkey to the mill

More than 20,000 books, what does it mean in this era?

The "Yongle Encyclopedia" edited by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty only included more than 10,000 books. The Siku Quanshu of the Qing Dynasty only contained more than 30,000 books.

Gan Qi's father also boasted that his family had tens of thousands of books, and it was full of them, but if we really had to calculate it carefully, how could there be tens of thousands of books? This tens of thousands of books is more like a function word used to express many books.

As for Hu Yuan, he actually had more than 20,000 books at home. Moreover, the quality of his father’s collection is incomparable to Hu Yuan. Hu Yuan even has many ancient books, precious lonely books, and even many books written by famous scholars and scholars of all generations. Some books can even be sold at sky-high prices.

It is even more because of this that the successor of the eldest scholar Hu Yuan's robe and mantle is so important. He is 65 years old and has met countless people. Hu Yuan never said that he would pass on the books in his family to anyone.

It can be seen how Hu Yuan values ​​Gan Qi.

This matter is a bit big. How could Gan Qi have thought that he was just talking nonsense about the unity of knowledge and action, and the essence of Confucianism, Hu Yuan would pass on his robe and bowl to him?

Hu Yuan, what kind of person is? He is a beard. After his death, he will be placed with Confucius and Mencius and be popular among the world. Later generations will respectfully call him "The Beard of the Confucian scholars" after his tablet. What is the status of such a person? He is the teacher of the world and the teacher of his descendants for generations. Including the emperor.

If Gan Qi became the successor of the beard's robe, it would be like a halo that would directly cover the whole body. The name of the great scholar immediately possessed him and left, everyone bowed and bowed and called him a gentleman. Even in the future, some people argued and some debated that Gan Qi was the final judge. Gan Qi's words were almost as different as the words of the saints.

There are too many benefits.

But there are too many problems, because Hu Yuan has read the more than 20,000 books thoroughly, and Gan Qi has never read a few of them at all.

Such things can be fooled for a while, how can they fool for a lifetime? If you want to become a "son" and make your words become authoritative, you must have the ability to rely on fooling around? That is a whimsical idea. It will only end up being a disgrace and become a laughing stock.

If you accept a beard and robe, you will be the spiritual leader of the times. If you accept it poorly, you will be despised by thousands of people. What else can you talk about being an official?

Gan Qi knew the severity of the matter, so he hurriedly said, "Sir, you must not do this. What kind of virtue does the students have? Students must not accept these more than 20,000 books, as well as their words and notes. "

"You are not afraid to accept it. You are just lazy. How can a lazy person have a future? You are saying this. It is easy to say it, but how difficult it is to do it? I have only wanted to continue the unique knowledge of the past saints in my life, but I have not inherited it. As a junior student, since you have set great ambitions, you should seek diligently for life and never slacken for a moment." Hu Yuan's tone was a bit serious and his expression was not very good-looking.

Things are really big.

"Students are really ashamed of it. Students only have a little ink in their hearts and don't read much books. How can they dare to bear the teacher's trust and high hopes? Students are ashamed." Gan Qi knew that he couldn't play with this matter, could not come or do it. If he really forced himself to do it, the consequences would be there.

This is not just a simple matter to tell students about management in the theater. It is to speak to people all over the world about the Book of Songs, Book of Shu, Zhou Li, Yi Li, Book of Rites, Book of Changes, Zuo Zhuan, Gongyang Zhuan, Zhuan, Juliang Zhuan, Analects of Confucius, Erya, Li, Filial Piety, Mencius...

And it is published authoritatively, and any academic issues and any Confucian theories must be focused on this identity. A true great scholar is not so easy to be a good person.

Hu Yuan suddenly became furious and pointed at Gan Qi: "You, you... you don't read much, so I passed on all my life books to you, letting you read more, letting you think more. You..."

"Sir, calm down. The student is young and cannot bear such a heavy responsibility." Gan Qi could only keep refusing.

But how could Hu Yuan let Gan Qi go: "When you are young, you study hard, and when you are guilty, you think deeply. Life is long. I am as old as you, and I am still studying in Qizhenguan. I haven't been out for ten years and I am unknown. I am forty years old, but I am still a lecturer in Suzhou. If you are less than twenty years old, and your days are still long. As long as you work hard, why worry about not being able to reach the great road?"

This is forcing a lazy donkey to get on the mill!

More than 20,000 classics of all dynasties are not to read, but to understand, study them thoroughly, and to solve doubts with others.

Gan Qi sighed deeply, and the old man was determined. What should I do? In the past, Gan Qi pursued political capital everywhere, seeking fame and reputation, sacrificing his life to make righteousness, and his reputation was full of knowledge and talent. All of this obtained directly led to Gan Qi's predicament at this time. Why is Hu Yuan so optimistic about Gan Qi? After giving fame and reputation, he can still run away? Could he find a temple to become a monk?

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, the greater the rights, the greater the obligations. This is an inevitable part of social laws!

What to do? Gan Qi is thinking.

Hu Yuan stood at the door with a strong face, not speaking. He was also very angry. Gan Qi was not the unspeakable child in his heart, but Gan Qi wanted to be the uncarved rotten wood. How could Hu Yuan not be angry?

Just drag it out, drag it out, this trick is always the most labor-saving in anything that cannot be solved. Gan Qi said: "Mr. I am healthy. How can I talk about these unlucky things at this time? Mr. I have been studying for more than ten or twenty years in my life. I will stay at that time, and the students are still thirty or forty years. I want to make progress in my studies. It is not bad to inherit my husband's legacy."

Gan Qi really thinks this way, Boss Hu, you must live one more time, it is best to live ten years old.

After hearing Gan Qi's words, Hu Yuan looked much better and said, "I dare not imagine if I live for more than ten or twenty years, but I agree that one day, you should inherit my mantra and carry forward it, so as not to vain the teachings of the saints."

"Students must not dare to be disappointed in teaching the teacher." Gan Qi replied respectfully.

However, Gan Qi didn't know that Hu Yuan's life span was actually coming to an end.

"One word is determined." Hu Yuan said seriously.

Gan Qi was guilty and did not dare to answer the sentence "One word is certain", but just nodded.

Hu Yuan was overjoyed and waved his hand: "Let's go, tell me to kiss you. I will say you are my husband's personal disciple and the successor of the robe and mantle."
