Xu Ping was drinking tea and secretly frowned as Li Wei sat on the side talked.

Although I think this young man traveled all the way after listening to his limerick poem, it was a bit unreliable. But when it comes to knowledge, this person quoted classics and classics, and they all came from one set after another.

From a conscience, although Xu Ping studied classics and took the Jinshi exam, he did not have a deep understanding of the development of Confucianism in this era, and did things not according to the words of a saint, but his own knowledge of his previous life. Such a foundation seemed too pale in front of this generation of masters who had just shown their strength.

After the Eastern Han Dynasty, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Confucianism was suppressed by Buddhism and Taoism. By the Tang Dynasty, the sage Confucius was even ranked behind Sakyamuni and Laozi, and barely sat on the third seat. The late Tang Dynasty poet Luo Yin once wrote a poem "Visiting Wenxuan Temple": "I came to visit my ancestors in the evening, and the pine and cypress were sad. People don't know it. The walls of nine ounces are piled with rubble, and the wild foxes are walking in three thatched halls. The rain is like a sad crying in the unicorn, and the dew drops are still sighing at the same time. If the name of a little Confucianism is established, how can I teach my way to be late?" There are exaggerations in the poem, which vividly illustrates the status of Confucianism at that time.

It was only when the Song Dynasty entered the revival of Confucianism, but the Taizu and Taizong dynasty all promoted Buddhism and Taoism at the same time. Zhenzong welcomed the heavenly books, and the Confucian status was still unstable. However, it began with Taizong's practice of expanding the scale of imperial examinations and optimizing the use of civil officials who were born as Jinshi. It was not until the Zhenzong dynasty that the Renzong dynasty finally set off a huge wave of revival of Confucianism.

With the revival of Confucianism, the Mencius upgrade movement and the False Monarch wave were entangled. In the end, Mencius' status was established, and Confucianism became the only official orthodox doctrine. After the Song Dynasty, the momentum was weak, and Confucianism established its orthodox status. Thus, it went to destruction.

Mencius's promotion began with Han Yu, and Song Confucianism followed him. Song Shenzong and Song Gaozong clearly supported him as the supreme ruler. It was not until the time of Shenzong that Mencius was named "Duke Zou" and was worthy of the Confucius Temple. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the book "Mencius" became a classic category and was no longer classified as a subcategory, and Mencius of the Yuan Dynasty was named a sub-sage.

At this time, Mencius was far from the sub-sacred status he understood in his previous life, but was advocated by some Taoist scholars after Han Yu. Mencius was the only Taoist tradition after Confucius. Not to mention earlier, Mencius had a low status among Confucian scholars, and was not as good as Xunzi and others. He was scolded for his limerick at that time because his father-in-law's thoughts were inclined to the Taoist scholars.

The rise of the Mencius's upgrade movement was the rise of Fei Meng Siying, with famous scholars on both sides. They were very lively. The most famous and picky scholar among Fei Meng scholars was the shabby young man sitting in front of Xu Ping, Li Li and Li Taibo who had just emerged.

History is always full of humor, and Li Weifei Meng. The starting point is to correct the monarch and ministers. At that time, King Xian of Zhou was not comparable to Jie and Zhou. Mencius not only did not assist King Zhou, but also lobbed the princes and kings to call themselves emperors, that is, the one who "there was the Emperor of Zhou at that time, why did they say Wei and Qi one after another" could arouse his strong resonance. However, after Mencius established his identity as the only heir of Confucianism and Taoism, no one mentioned this matter, as if Mencius also talked about the monarch and ministers. Not to mention the people's nobleness and ruthlessness, it disappeared directly from his studies. The rest was another issue criticized by these non-Meng scholars, the most core distinction between justice and profit.

The debate between Mencius' upgrade and the non-Meng Siying was entangled with the distinction between righteousness and profit, and became the center of the continuous debate between Song Confucians. There was a big banner on one side. Mencius's school emphasized righteousness over profit, and was a villain, while the non-Meng school promoted the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and Mencius had no emperor in his eyes. These debates, the party struggles with the reform and conservative party struggles, were also regarded as the wonders of the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty.

In the end, the Meng faction won the victory, and took away the banner of righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and Confucianism also lost its vitality.

Xu Ping knew nothing about these backgrounds. His knowledge in his previous life, Confucianism must talk about Confucius and Mencius, but how could he know the turn of the song between them? Listening to Li Liu's sets of etiquette, what kind of etiquette starts with profit, life is necessary to have enough food and clothing, and when adults are adults, they have to find a spouse to have children. Eating and drinking are really human instincts, and more important than other benevolence, righteousness and morality. To learn the way of a saint, you must first learn to seek profit. Only by being able to seek profit can you enrich the country, enrich the country can you strengthen the army, and strengthen the army can you maintain peace. Everything Xu Ping did in sugar-sugar is really the most in line with the original meaning of the saint.

Speaking of sugar sugar, Li Wei also said that the world's problems all start with uneven fields. The rich have fields around the fields, and the poor have no place to stand. Those who farm have no food to eat, and those who weave cloth have no clothes to wear. How can this be done in the world? The so-called food is the foundation of the world, but farming is not the foundation of the food. Whoever owns the land is the foundation of the food. Therefore, you must have flat fields. You must not farm but own land, but you can't afford to farm but you can't afford it. That's not possible. You have to learn the ancient well-field method. Whoever can farm will own the land.

Sugar services are very good. For those who farm, although the land is not their own, it is actually their own. Therefore, the sugar services can make so much money, because those who farm make money are to make money for themselves.

Xu Ping was a man of two lives, but he was stunned by this little brother. Although he quoted these words from classics and was inseparable from Confucian sages, when he thought about them carefully, he actually touched on the extremely sensitive issue of productivity and production relations.

What are the Confucian scholars nowadays thinking about? Xu Ping is a little confused.

Although Xu Ping wanted to teach the enthusiastic Li Yue's political class, he carefully searched the ink in his stomach, but his ideas were no longer related to Confucian classics, so he had to use clichés from time to time to time to perfunctory words.

After drinking several cups of tea, Li Wei felt his throat dry, so he stopped talking and asked Xu Ping humbly: "The students are shallow in their knowledge, and they are ugly in front of their husbands, and they laugh."

Xu Ping was stunned for a while and asked Li Xu: "I wonder where you are in the spring and autumn of this year?"

Li Xu said: "Students are twenty-four years old."

"Oh, one year older than me." Xu Ping nodded repeatedly, and finally his mind was a little balanced. If Li Xu was a few years younger than him, his face would be a little uneasy. "I tell you, what you are talking about is excellent, but I don't know how to talk to you after talking so much. Besides, I left home to work at the age of 18, worked hard, and had no time to study. I understand many things in my heart, but I don't know how to say them to others. Do you understand?"

Li Xu said: "Students understand that a gentleman is stern in words but quick in actions, and a teacher is successful in governing affairs. This is the greatest knowledge. It is not comparable to a student who only knows how to talk big."

"Oh, you said this well! The key is to do things. Once you do things well, others will understand naturally. When you come here, I can't sit with you every day. This way, I have a new school here. I have a very good academic knowledge and a hard foundation. So I will play a guest-show in the school for a few days. When I am free, I will go to Hantiju to see how the affairs of sugar business are done. This is not better than anything else?"

Seeing Xu Ping's sincere speech, Li Xu stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your kindness first, the students will definitely live up to their entrustion."

Xu Ping looked at Li Wei's outfit and said, "I'll ask Tan Hu to take you to arrange your residence later, and then take ten guan from Curry, and you can settle down. Teaching in the school is only about two guan a month. Although the prices in Taiping County are expensive, it should be enough for you to save money."

"Students are ashamed of their merits."

Li Luben said that profit is more important than righteousness. Pursuit is the foundation of people, and there is no pretentiousness of those who are stupid in their studies. Xu Ping gave him money and taught himself, which was also a legitimate reward.

Listening to Li Wei speaks about students, Xu Ping feels ashamed. His husband is one year younger than him, especially when he is really not as good as his knowledge, and he feels a little uncomfortable all over.

Li Anren is much older than Li Xu, but he didn't think he was a student because it was a normal name for society. Scholars who failed to pass the Jinshi and became officials all called themselves students in front of officials, which shows that they were a kind of identity, which means that they were always studying and studying, not that they wanted to learn things from officials.

Li Wei called himself a student and also called Mr. Xu Ping. The taste has changed a little. He is really learning. Xu Ping knows his level, so how can he be able to bear it?

After arranging Li Wei's place, Xu Ping encouraged him a few more words, and then he asked Tan Hu to come over and asked him to arrange Li Wei to the residence built for the school teachers. At the same time, he approved a note and asked him to go to the minister's warehousing to get ten cents of money.

The sugarcane business has its own ministerial warehouse. Xu Ping has the final say in it now, which is much more convenient than using the money of the Yongzhou ministerial warehouse. The Yongzhou minister Xuping no longer cared about it and handed it over to the Jiedu judge to act as an agent, which is convenient for Feng Shenji, and also saves his own efforts. Anyway, the ministerial money in Yongzhou is completely incomparable to the sugarcane business.

Seeing Li Wei go out with Tan Hu, Xu Ping was still a little stunned when he sat in his seat. He couldn't figure out that he was young and ignorant at that time, and he just copied a lilac poem from his previous life. Why did he attract such a classic disciple? If he had a thick face, he would copy Su Ci Xin Ci, Lu You's poems, and Wang Anshi's articles, would scholars all over the world come to chase his butt?

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping finally shook his head. Obviously he was thinking too much. Not to mention copying these things, there is no deeds and real talent and knowledge to cooperate with later generations. He can only leave an interesting story in the notes and novels of later generations, or even the story of hurting Zhongyong. So what if others believe it? Which of these people has social status because of their good poetry and articles? Wang Anshi and Su Shi are because of their real talent and ability as Jinshi, and Xin Qiji is because of their real talent and ability.

With the legend of seizing seals by horses and the knowledge of "Ten Essays of Beauty Cinnamon", Lu You's poetry is famous all over the world, but he has been wandering all his life and has not been valued. Not to mention Liu Yong now, no matter how well he wrote the lyrics, how many scholars, including Xu Ping himself, took him into consideration? His reputation was only circulated in brothel singing girls. The scholars talked about it just like Xu Ping talked about an entertainment star in his previous life. The so-called legendary deeds were not compiled until the novels in later generations became popular.

After thinking about it, it seems that only by being an official and earning political achievements can one make a name for himself in this era.
