Han Dao world

Tang frowned slightly. "The situation is more troublesome than expected. The man named Guishuang wants to surrender to my big man, but there is a big country in the west who refuses, and Guishuang must surrender to them. The Western Regions have already rushed to fight, and the troops are insufficient. Xianbei The man turned back again and cooperated with the Western Regions Protectorate to fight."

"Big country? Which big country?"

"I don't remember clearly." Tang thought for a while. "I heard that there are a lot of people with the surname An in that big country. Before that, a prince came to me and preached the Way of the Buddha at the White Horse Temple outside the city."

"An Shigao?"

"It seems so."

Chapter 1020

Although Mrs. Tang has presided over the Yinfang for many years, she is not very interested in reading.Hedong Yinfang mainly undertakes the works of scholar-bureaucrats in the Central Plains, and has limited knowledge of the Western Regions.

Her understanding of Anxi is far inferior to that of An Shigao.

Therefore, the understanding of An Shigao became a vague impression of Anxi.

"Then this battle is probably inevitable."

"Why?" As soon as the battle was mentioned, Xun Yu's wife Tang became inexplicably nervous, and her expression changed.

"An Shigao taught the way of the Buddha, but the emperor didn't like the way of the Buddha very much. Not long ago, the emperor issued an order in Ganling: it is okay to discuss and study the way of the Buddha, but if you believe in the way of the Buddha, you must hand over all your property and follow the example of the way of the Buddha. Stories, begging for food, otherwise it is believing in evil ways."

Tang was taken aback. "That's overkill."

Mrs. Tang glanced at Mrs. Tang and smiled. "Those who believe in Buddha Taoism believe that all living beings are equal, that human beings are no different from animals, that they have no king or father, that they do not deserve marriage, and that they do not have children. Do you think it is feasible?"

Tang's complexion changed a few times, and he said angrily: "There is such an absurd way of not marrying and having children? If everyone doesn't have children, the family will never have heirs. This huge industry... who will pass on the achievements?" ?”

Mrs. Tang suppressed a smile and nodded. "You're right, it's just nonsense."

Tang knew that he had spoken the truth, which made Mrs. Tang laugh.Although they are relatives, it is somewhat embarrassing.

"Sit in the hall, I'll send someone to tell Wen Ruo."

"No need, I have time today, so I can wait for him slowly." Mrs. Tang waved her hand, and walked into the hall holding Mrs. Tang's hand. "I brought something today to open your eyes."

Tang accompanied her with a smile, and sat down in the hall together.Although she is about the same age as Mrs. Tang, she is different from Mrs. Tang who runs the Yinfang. She rarely goes out and has limited knowledge. She is far less broad-sighted than Mrs. Tang and has limited knowledge of the outside world.

After serving the food and wine, Mrs. Tang took out a scroll of pictures and spread them on the table.

Tang took a look. "The scroll of Luoyang?"

She had seen such a picture scroll in Xun Yu's study, and she had seen Xun Yu flip through it many times, and she couldn't stop sighing when she saw it.

"It's new. It hasn't been printed yet. I brought a volume of copies to open your eyes."

"Yuan Shu entrusted this matter to you?"

"It's more convenient for me to be close. Besides, when it comes to printing this kind of picture scroll, our craftsmen are the best in the world. If we print it, it can be made into a treasure and handed down to the world, not just for now. "

Tang Corps said nothing.

"Luoyang Picture Scroll" is aimed at the big families who do not abide by the etiquette. The families painted on it hate to the bone, but they dare not speak out.Now Mrs. Tang not only wants to print it, but also to print it as a treasure and handed down from generation to generation. I don't know how many people want to poke her back.

But in this case, she didn't dare to persuade her, she could only wait for Xun Yu to persuade her.

The two spread out the picture scroll, and according to the text marked on it, they found one house after another, and also figured out the reason why these houses violated the regulations.

Looking at these strange or familiar houses and names, Tang became more and more uneasy.

These people are either rich and powerful who have been passed down for a hundred years, or they are famous families admired by the world, neither is easy to mess with.

-

In the evening, Xun Yu came back.

His clothes and feet were covered in mud.

When Tang saw it, she hurried up to greet him, ordered someone to fetch clean clothes and shoes for Xun Yu to change, and at the same time briefly informed Xun Yu of Mrs. Tang's arrival.

After listening, Xun Yu nodded his head, as if he was already prepared.

After going to the hall, drank a cup of herbal tea, sat down and looked at the scrolls brought by Mrs. Tang.

His face was very calm, and he was not as angry as Tang Shi was worried about. He just sighed and looked a little disappointed when he finally closed the book.

"Unexpectedly, there are so many people knowingly committing crimes by accident, and etiquette has long been a fiction."

"Do you really not know, or are you just pretending not to know?" Mrs. Tang came over at some point, leaning against the wall, licking watermelon seeds.

Xun Yu thought for a while, then laughed at himself and said, "I probably don't want to know. These houses are all placed in the open. If I really want to see them, how can I not see them?"

He paused, and then said: "But I didn't draw a scroll, I really didn't expect there to be so many."

"According to Yuan Shu, this is only conclusive evidence. According to the rules of etiquette, if it is more than ten times, then it is really impossible to finish painting in this lifetime."

Mrs. Tang threw the melon seed husk in her hand into the wastebasket beside her and clapped her hands. "The Great Confucianists have set so many rules, but in the end they violated so many rules, even they themselves were not spared, so is it a net to wait?"

Xun Yu frowned slightly, but did not answer.

Mrs. Tang said quietly: "Should I engrave the version according to this? Let me remind you that most of the cost of printing the book lies in the version. It will be very difficult to change the version after engraving."

Xun Yu looked down and smiled wryly. "You think I can stop it?"

"This picture was drawn by someone arranged by Liu Biao. Is there any possibility of intentionally expanding the scope?"

Xun Yu was startled, and finally understood what Mrs. Tang meant.

The first volume of "Luoyang Picture Volume" is the imperial palace, and the second volume is the old house of the Yuan family. Now this volume is about the honorable officials and dignitaries who have been passed down for a long time, but are often not well-known.

In the next step, it should be an upstart.

Among the upstarts, many are party members, who took advantage of the wind of discussion to get on the stage.

Among them are celebrity families such as Yingchuan Fourth Chief.

Liu Biao was threatening him, forcing him to stop it.

"Enlarge it, let's expand it." Xun Yu retracted his gaze, and said lightly, "Since you want to clean it, then you should clean it carefully, and don't let go of everything inside and out."

He paused for a moment, then said again: "If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?"

Mrs. Tang and Tang Corporation both understood this sentence.

This is what Xue Qin, a famous scholar in Runan, said. The target of the accusation is Chen Fan, a famous minister in Runan who is even more famous and is almost one of Ruying's moral peaks.

When this sentence came out of Xun Yu's mouth, it meant that he agreed with Xue Qin more than Chen Fan.

Madam Tang and Tang Corporation exchanged a look.

She was somewhat surprised.

Xun Yu's changes were too great, beyond her expectations.

"Are you familiar with the Way of the Buddha?" Xun Yu changed the subject on his own initiative.

"Know a thing or two." Mrs. Tang put her mind away. "Since Emperor Xiaohuan, there has been a Futu Dao in the palace, where I share the same shrine with Laozi. Emperor Xiaoling inherited it in order to seek a son. But now, it seems that it is not very effective."

"Of course it doesn't work. Futu Dao has no king, no father, no marriage, no children, how can it protect children." Xun Yu said angrily: "Talking is just criticizing saints and ignoring etiquette. Human relations are not taken seriously, it is simply absurd."

"You want to ban it too?"

"Forbidden, but be careful." Xun Yu said slowly: "I heard that the founder of the Buddha Dao was the prince of a country, and there were many powerful people who followed him. The An Shigao you mentioned, it is said He is also the prince of the Anxi Kingdom. To attract so many learned people to obey, there must be something special about the Way of the Buddha, and it is definitely not the foolish technique of the Way of Taiping..."

Mrs. Tang was startled, and then interrupted Xun Yu. "Have you studied Taiping Dao?"

Xun Yu looked a little embarrassed. "Know a thing or two."

"Then why didn't you tell the emperor?" Mrs. Tang's eyes narrowed slightly. "You should know that the emperor has called people to discuss the Tao many times, but he has never found the right person."

Chapter 1021

Xun Yu thought about it. "I only know a little bit, not enough to discuss with the emperor. If the emperor really wants to understand the "Taiping Jing", I can recommend my brother Zhongyu (Xun Yue) to see him."

Mrs. Tang sized up Xun Yu, but said nothing.

Xun Yu didn't answer her question directly, but the answer was more than she wanted.

This is a good thing.

After talking a few words about the similarities and differences between Buddha Dao and Huang Lao Dao, they changed the topic to the Anxi Kingdom.

Xun Yu's understanding of the Anxi Kingdom is much more detailed.

Judging from the available information, Anxi's situation is somewhat similar to that of Qin. It used to be subordinate to a larger country, but it came from behind and became a big country.

It is said that the great country was founded by a young British lord. Later, the British lord died early, and his subordinates and generals fought for it. After years of melee, their strength was exhausted, and they could not control their subordinates, and they established a country one after another.

When Xun Yu said these things, he sighed from time to time, and there was an unresolved worry between his brows.

Mrs. Tang felt Xun Yu's worry. "Are you worried that the emperor will follow in the footsteps of that hero?"

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I don't think so." Mrs. Tang said confidently.

"Why?"

"What you know, the Son of Heaven knows too. Now that he knows, he won't be unprepared." Mrs. Tang thought for a while, then suddenly smiled. "Wen Ruo, this may be the reason why he doesn't give up Confucianism. Although Confucianism cannot start a business, it can be successful."

Xun Yu originally wanted to refute Mrs. Tang's view that "Confucianism cannot start a business", but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Mrs. Tang's view that "Confucianism can be maintained" was reasonable.

Among the Taoism in the world, Confucianism is the best at unifying people's hearts.

The emperor has always emphasized the need to educate the world and spread the Chinese clothing civilization to Siyi.In the face of such a great cause, Taoism has no such will, Legalism has no such ability, and only Confucianism can do it.

It's just that this kind of Confucianism needs a stronger force. The Confucianism in the pre-Qin period was not enough, and the Confucianism after Dong Zhongshu was not enough.

The Son of Heaven advocated that all peoples are all scholars, perhaps in order to make Confucianism go a step further.

Combined with Yang Biao's "Confucianism Re-Yi Lun", Xun Yu suddenly understood the logic in it, and couldn't help but slap his thigh.

"That's it, I understand."

"What do you understand?" Mrs. Tang asked.

Xun Yu smiled and shook his hand. "Don't say it, don't say it."

He paused, and then said: "Although I think this may be the case, I don't dare to say whether the emperor's thoughts are what I think. It is not appropriate to make a public statement at the moment, lest there be any suspicion of speculation."

Mrs. Tang restrained her smile, pursed her lips and smiled.

Xun Yu immediately talked about the new plow experiment, and his emotions became high.

When he first received news from Shi Tao and others that there was a new type of iron plow that could improve farming efficiency, when he was asked if he was interested in promoting it, he didn't have much hope.

What can a few young people do without the foundation of being a craftsman?

It's just that the loss of Henan Hukou is too great, and he needs to resume production as soon as possible. As long as there is a way to improve production efficiency, he wants to try it.In addition, Shi Tao and the others are from Yingchuan, since he found him, he couldn't refuse a chance, so he agreed.

The result was a big surprise for him.

This new type of iron plow is pulled by one ox and supported by one person, which is more efficient than the existing three-ox and two-person plow, breaking and turning the soil in one go.After the old farmer that Nong Cao had found was used up, he couldn't wait to ask if he could keep the plow, it was so easy to use.

He was also very satisfied, and decided to make a hundred first on the spot.

"It's surprising that a few young men can tinker with such useful farm tools and save thousands of manpower." Xun Yu shook his head again and again, expressing his disbelief.

Mrs. Tang was not surprised at all.

She has been in Taixue for more than half a year, and she is very aware of the development of the Agricultural School and the Engineering School.

In the beginning, no one wanted to go to the agricultural school.Everyone is still used to thinking that Confucian classics is the real learning, and agriculture is just miscellaneous learning.It's just that the food in the agricultural school is good, so there are poor children who want to solve the problem of food and lodging.

Shi Tao, Meng Jian and others took the Nongtangtang exam because of Zhuge Liang's suggestion.They didn't take it too seriously at first, but later someone made achievements, solved some military ration preparation problems, and received awards from the Taiwei's Mansion, so they became serious and ran to the fields every now and then.

She didn't know much about what happened afterwards, but she was already prepared for Shi Tao and others to make some achievements.

So when she saw this blueprint, she showed it to Xun Yu immediately.

Unlike Xun Yu who felt that he was giving Shi Tao and others a chance, she felt that Shi Tao was giving Xun Yu a chance and helping Xun Yu.Otherwise, why would they go to Henan to try the plow, they can do it in Guanzhong.

But she didn't tell the truth.

With Xun Yu's intelligence, he should be able to react quickly.

She should save Xun Yu some face.

Liu Biao sat on the couch, fanning the wind with a cattail fan, looking at the proof of the newly printed drawings on the case, frowning.

The scent of ink came in bursts, but it made Liu Biao a little out of breath.
