Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 262

World Academy.

Twenty-five years after the Xia Dynasty, this school prepared for sitting and discussing Taoism was not abandoned because of the end of that event, on the contrary, it is still fulfilling its mission.

It's just that it's impossible to find out the discussion caused by the heavyweight event at that time, and the collision of such a huge trend of thought is no longer possible.

But Xun Ke still stayed here and became the sacrificial wine of Tianxia Academy.

Countless students who believe in his philosophy have traveled thousands of miles to follow and practice under his disciples.

There are already more people following him than the Mohist, and he has become a trend.

In order to distinguish them from the Mohists, the folks gave them a new title, Confucianism.

Xun Ke's disciples called themselves Confucian scholars, and his own school of thought should be called Confucianism or Confucianism.

From the 25th year of the Xia Dynasty to the 34th year of the Xia Dynasty, another nine years have passed, and Confucianism has been able to stand against Mohism, and even has more supporters among the people.

The benefits of setting up private schools and schools have been revealed over the years.

A steady stream of students have devoted themselves to the Tianxia Academy to listen to Xun Ke's teachings. This academy is also constantly expanding to absorb the words of the world.

After Gu Dan finished "Shen Nong Baicao Jing Yao", he came here to see how far Xun Ke has come.

Even though he didn't care too much about the affairs of the court, the fact that Emperor Xia sent people to hire Xun Ke twice, but Xun Ke rejected them was widely spread in the court and the public.

Many people think that Confucianism is already able to meet with Mohism, and even Emperor Xia supports it, otherwise it would be impossible to invite them one after another.

Now two years have passed since the last invitation, so it's time for the third time, right?
Everyone thinks so.

So Gu Dan came.

After so many years, his soul has grown stronger and stronger. The fourth petal of the 36-petal lotus in the white lotus visualization picture is ready to move, and his consciousness is enough to cover a radius of ten feet.

With the passage of time, his strength has actually been steadily increasing, and today, it is no longer the same as before.

It's just that the already invincible force in the world has no chance to use it if it continues to improve. The accumulation of some small advancements has made his background continue to increase, but it has not yet grown to the point of qualitative change.

Now is the time to keep a low profile and hide the dragon in the abyss.

But the improvement of strength still has obvious benefits.

For example, Gu Dan only needs to sweep his eyes to feel the energy and blood of others, even if the master deliberately hides it, it will not help.

Gu Dan just wandered around the Tianxia Academy for a while, feeling the strength of Qi and blood in the human body, and found Xun Ke.

At this time, Xun Ke was sitting in front of the desk, concentrating on writing.

Gu Dan walked over quietly without being noticed.

Xun Ke waited for the white rice paper in front of him, and there seemed to be thousands of waves surging in his eyes.

Finally, the hand holding the pen fell down.

"The gentleman said: Learning is not enough. Green is taken from blue, and blue is greener than blue; ice is made of water, but colder than water. The straight wood is the rope, and the scorpion is the wheel, and the song is the rule. Although there is violence , Those who are no longer upright, will make it so. Therefore, the wood will be straight when it is roped, and the gold will be sharp if it is sharpened.

Therefore, if you don’t climb a high mountain, you don’t know the height of the sky; if you don’t face a deep stream, you don’t know the depth of the earth; if you don’t hear the last words of the ancient kings, you don’t know the greatness of learning.”

Xun Ke kept writing.

He was by no means wasting time these years.

He organized his own thoughts and turned them into treatises. He has written many articles, analyzing his own ideas in detail, for people all over the world to comment on.

Rather than saying that he is cultivating his own power, it is better to say that he is sorting out what he has learned, and before the long sword is unsheathed, it will be sharpened even more.

What is written today seems to be no different from before.

However, the meaning has been somewhat different.

"If you accumulate soil to form mountains, wind and rain will flourish; if you accumulate water to form pools, you will have dragons; if you accumulate goodness and virtue, you will become self-satisfied with gods, and your holy heart will be prepared. Therefore, if you don't accumulate small steps, you won't be able to reach thousands of miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you will not be able to form rivers and seas. A galloping horse cannot take ten steps in one leap; a ten-horse horse rides ten steps, and the merit lies in perseverance. Perseverance, the rotten wood will not be broken; Perseverance, gold and stone can be carved. Earthworms have no sharp claws, strong muscles and bones, eat dirt on the top, and drink on the bottom. Huang Quan, put your heart into it. Crabs have six knees and two claws, and there is no one to rely on except in the cave of the snake and eel, so the heart is restless."

The pen is like a dragon.

The handwriting full of ink marks fell on the rice paper, and Xun Ke's face became more and more determined.

Gu Dan watched from the side, with mixed feelings floating in his heart.

The last time he saw Xun Ke writing vigorously, Xun Ke still secretly wrote short stories at night to vent his anger.

This time it was written by the same people, but it was very different.

Once this majestic essay is published, what kind of waves and discussions will it trigger?

The most thought-provoking thing is the first two sentences.

Green is taken from blue, and green is from blue; ice is made from water, and colder than water.

Of course, this means that there are those who come after, and that the younger generations do not need to underestimate themselves, but there must be some people who understand that Confucianism is about to start a counterattack against Mohism.

The development of things certainly has its own path, but the replacement of national blood is also the top priority.

In the past 34 years, most of the people who have received the favor of the Mo family are already very old. Today, Mo Qiu has truly become a sage imprinted in people's hearts. When the new generation mentions him, he is no longer like a living Those people are more like gods sent by heaven, lacking flesh and blood, shelving them, and can only look up to them.

As for the Mohists, many people's attitudes are that they are more than admired, but they have the mentality of keeping them at a respectful distance.

True idealists are definitely a minority among the minority.

What's more, the times have changed, how can the living conditions of the Xia Dynasty be compared to before?

When Gu Dan went to travel among the people, he found that ordinary farmers dared to eat meat for ten days and a half months-in the past, it was something that they would only be willing to eat during the Chinese New Year.

With the improvement of living conditions and the lack of poverty, many people have never been really hungry in their lives. Naturally, they don't understand how the ten righteousness of the Mohist school, which is so strict that they are "sick in the brain", can still be maintained today.

Everyone is living a good life, but the Mo family has been yelling there not to be extravagant, not to enjoy, it is simply against the people of the world.

As the Xia Dynasty became more prosperous and powerful, the number of Mohists not only did not increase, but began to decrease, and now there are only three thousand left.

Of course, there are some reasons why the Mohists are getting old, and the other part has to face the reality that the people living in the Xia Dynasty no longer love the Mohism so much.

When the vast majority of people in a country live better than Mohists, is Mohism still necessary?
It is good to hoe the strong and help the weak.

But now Mo Zhe seems a bit "weak".

This weakness is not strength, but treatment.

This is a question that must be considered.

At the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, even with the assistance and compensation from the four kingdoms, the people’s lives were not very good. The Mohist family was in trouble with them at that time. The people saw that their lives were poor, and the Mohists were even worse than them. People's hearts, the Mohist has also become a role model for the people of the world, and is highly respected.

However, now that the Xia Dynasty has become richer, when it reaches the same level of wealth, the Mohist family is still the same old thing, and it can no longer attract others to join the Mohist family—it may even feel that the Mohist family is doing too much, looking for trouble for nothing, and showing themselves to be noble.

Although the growth of an organization depends on individual choices, it also has to pay attention to changes in the environment.

The time has come for the Xia Dynasty to urgently need new ideas to replace the conservative Mohists.

If it is said that in the 20th year of the Xia Dynasty, when Gu Dan mentioned this matter to Qin Lisheng, the Mohists still had a chance to change their course and change their own direction, then now, after Confucianism has become powerful, many people have the same tolerance for Mohism has come to an end.

The Mohist school is still the same Mohist family, and the Xia Dynasty is no longer the original Xia Dynasty.

The people are no longer the same group of people who received the Mohist favor directly and gave them hope.

Gu Dan could see everything clearly, he had advised Qin Lisheng more than ten years in advance, and in the grand meeting where he sat and discussed, Zhuang Sheng even pointed out the most core problem.

The Mohist pursued the Grand Duke too much, completely obliterated their private desires, and treated themselves with extremely strict requirements. This is not in line with human nature. Even if the Mohists can do it, how can they use this to demand the whole world?

Gu Dan watched the Mohism develop and grow step by step, and finally became the state religion.

I also watched the Mo family decline step by step with my own eyes. The Mo family did nothing wrong, it was just...inappropriate.

If Mohism continues to occupy the mainstream, it will affect the development of the Xia Dynasty.

Xun Ke must have seen this, so he chose to set up his own family, right?
Looking at Xun Ke who was still writing, Gu thought worriedly.

He gave Qinli a chance to win, why didn't Xun Ke give the Mohists a chance?

Four years ago, Wang Mang invited Xun Ke to return.

Two years ago, Wang Mang invited again.

Xun Ke rejected everything, not because he wanted to refuse but also to welcome.

On the one hand, he was indeed not ready enough at that time, on the other hand, why didn't he hope that the Mo family would make some changes in this last time.

However, no.

Qin Lisheng is determined, and the Mo family is also determined.

Then we can only let the world choose.

When the last stroke was made, Xun Ke's face was full of determination.

After thinking for a long time, he wrote his name for this majestic essay.

"Encouraging Learning".

Returning the pen and ink to their original positions, Xun Ke was about to stretch his body when the corner of his eye finally caught sight of the green robe standing in front of the table like a ghost.

"Mr. Gu."

Xun Ke came back to his senses, and hurriedly got up to salute.

"It's really well written."

Gu Dan laughed, and pointed to the still wet ink on the rice paper, "Compared to what it was back then, the skills are a bit stronger."

Xun Ke's rare face turned red for a moment. After decades of nourishing energy, when he recalled that he was bumped into him by Gu Dan and secretly wrote a small story behind his back to vent his depression, he still inevitably fluctuated.

"Mr. Gu came to look for me, what can I discuss?"

Xun Ke pretended not to hear it, and abruptly changed the subject.

"It really does."

Gu Dan said: "The "Shen Nong Baicao Jing Yao" has been compiled, but no matter how good the book is, it must be read and used by someone. Now your reputation is not worse than that of Qin Lisheng, and I have to trouble you to advertise it widely. Fan, at least let people know about this.”

"No problem, Xiaoying told me everything, don't worry."

Xun Ke didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded in agreement.

His wife, Xiaoying, has been appointed as the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital all these years.

Moreover, there are thousands of people under his command—all of them are women, but they don’t receive the salaries of officials. They are barely affiliated with the Imperial Hospital, and they are mainly responsible for delivering babies and taking care of babies.

Similar to the combination of "midwife" and "nanny" that is often said by the folks, Gu Dan's imagination at the beginning kept Xiaoying busy for more than ten years.

In addition, Gongshang Guo also found many medicinal fields suitable for planting medicinal herbs. Although it is not possible to directly support the entire Xia Dynasty, everything has already made a good start, and it only needs to be implemented in practice.

As long as the court finds out the benefits of doing so, even if Gu Dan is not here, the court will continue to implement it spontaneously.

It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning, if it weren't for Gu Dan taking the lead, there wouldn't even be a beginning.

And Gu Dan has devoted a lot of hard work, so naturally he has to do his best to strive to have medical clinics in all parts of the Xia Dynasty within 30 years to protect the health of the people everywhere.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Gu Dan didn't stay here for long, Xun Ke is no longer alone now, and he has quite a lot of disciples, much more precious than his time as an 'idle man'.

After leaving Tianxia Xuegong, Gu Dan went directly to a shabby room in the imperial capital.

As expected, Gu Dan met the person he wanted to see here.

Gongshang passed.

However, Gong Shang Guo is no longer the handsome young man in Gu Dan's memory, with a graceful tree facing the wind and a proud heart.

Gong Shang, who was sitting in front of the desk reading official documents, had almost all of the enviably black three thousand black hairs turned into silver, and occasionally a little black was hidden in them, but it was already necessary for someone to search for them. The sword eyebrows and star eyes The aggressive eyes have lost the sharpness of their youth, and instead they look amiable at first glance.

The slightly slack skin made this beautiful man who looked like a banished fairy less sharp and more gentle, and he could still vaguely glimpse the handsome figure of his youth.

Over the years, many familiar people have made great achievements and become famous all over the world.

But he who founded the Mohist School together with Moqiu in the past is somewhat 'unnamed'.

Gongshang does not produce problems, he is only responsible for solving problems and doing some practical things.

If it is said that Wang Mang has a right-hand man, that person is neither Xu Wanrong, the master of the harem, nor Qin Lisheng, the national teacher of the Xia Dynasty, but the one in front of him.

Those who are good at war have no great achievements, so why not?

"cough."

Gu Dan coughed lightly, waking up Gong Shang Guo who was reading the official documents.

Hearing the voice, Gong Shang Guo raised his head and saw Gu Dan at a glance.

It seemed a little dazed.

After a while, he said: "Why do you have time to find me? You look so young!"
