back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 274 Sudden Heavy Rain
The word "teach students in accordance with their aptitude" did not appear at this time.According to the authentic history, it should be a sentence from Zheng Guanying's "Prosperity and Dangerous Words" in the Qing Dynasty: "Separate into different categories and teach students in accordance with their aptitude."

Zhang Zai first heard the term "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude", and felt that it was in line with his own characteristics of learning, so he naturally agreed.

Although Lu Chengqi knew that most saints were officials, they were all idealists, similar to his previous self.The difference is that he has mastered the highest power in Dashun, and at that time he overthrew Grand Master Yang, and there was a void in power, so that the new law could be implemented without resistance.But as time went by, Dashun's officials had already figured out Lu Chengqi's tricks.If you want to implement a new system at this time, I am afraid it will be a little difficult.

Based on this, Lu Chengqi continued to ask Zhang Zai for advice on how to govern the country.Lu Chengqi felt that Confucianism was a bit weak to the outside world, but it was just a misunderstanding.The Confucianism handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period, in that war-torn era, said that Confucianism was weak and was eliminated long ago.It's just that Confucianism at that time focused on "benevolence", which was not welcomed by the princes of the time.

Confucianism in the Han Dynasty was not weak and deceptive.In the history of the official brand, it was also since the Jin Dynasty that Confucianism gradually became "gentle" and became greedy for comfort.But Zhang Zai was different. Since he dared to take the world as his own responsibility, what he advocated was of course the orthodox Confucianism of the Spring and Autumn Period, which emphasized "repaying virtue with virtue and repaying grievances with straightness".Because Confucianism not only talks about "benevolence", but also "righteousness".Why can Confucius and Mencius be called together?It is all because Mencius's theory is a supplement to Confucius' theory, and one should stress "benevolence" when dealing with one's own people, and "righteousness" when dealing with foreign enemies.This is consistent with what Mohism said, opposing unrighteous teachers.

Zhang Zai said this immediately, which directly overturned Lu Chengqi's views on Confucianism.However, people in the world are all based on the Confucianism of the Jin Dynasty. They have lost their blood and have become as gentle as sheep, which is a pity.

Lu Chengqi listened carefully to Zhang Zai's theory on governing the country. Although he didn't quite agree with it, he couldn't say that Zhang Zai was wrong.The doctrines of the sages have been handed down since ancient times, so they are naturally in line with the customs of the ancient people.But the times are developing, people's hearts are no longer ancient, and it is impossible to return to the people's sentiments like in ancient times.

Zhang Zai's remarks are naturally very idealistic, and this does not prevent Lu Chengqi from learning something from it.Gentlemen are harmonious but different. Zhang Zai has never really governed the country, and he doesn't know the complexity of things, so he can talk freely.But Lu Chengqi is the king of a country, if Mao rashly uses some untested theories, and a situation like the Xining Reform occurs, how will he deal with it?Treating a big country is like cooking small fresh food. When you are seriously ill, you need to take strong medicine, but when you are mildly ill, you can't use strong medicine, and you have to take care of it slowly.

Hearing Zhang Zai talking for a long time, it was almost noon when Zhang Zai resigned and left.

Lu Chengqi, who had been a good student all day, got up and did some exercise, then went to the imperial dining room for lunch.Unexpectedly, the sky, which was still clear and clear just now, can change as soon as it is said, but within a quarter of an hour, the clouds are dense, the squalls and rainstorms are coming, and the heavy rain suddenly pours down, and the city of Chang'an is immediately shrouded in mist and rain. The sound of beating on the tiles, like pearls falling to the ground, ticking.

Feeling a lot about the unpredictable weather, Lu Chengqi was still wet under the yellow-covered umbrella held up by the maid, so he had to change his clothes again. After resting in the Renming Hall for an hour, he continued to go to the Chuigong Hall to "work" up.

When Kankan came to the Chuigong Hall, he saw a spy who looked like a guard with wet clothes waiting outside the hall.Seeing Lu Chengqi, he saluted immediately, and took out something wrapped in an oilcloth from his bosom.

Lu Chengqi recognized that this was the "Pegasus Express" with a token that could pass through unimpeded, so there must be something serious about rushing on the road.

After rewarding the spy immediately, Wen Yan told him to change his clothes quickly, so as not to catch a cold.The Pegasus emergency report was so moved that it almost didn't cry on the spot.

After entering the Chuigong Hall, Lu Chengqi spread out the tarpaulin.This oilcloth is the embodiment of the wisdom of the ancients. The ancients discovered very early that oil is insoluble in water.According to this characteristic, the ancients invented the oilcloth.Things wrapped in oilcloth will not get wet even in rainy days.

He took out a box sealed with wax from the tarpaulin, and after opening the box, he took out a letter.Looking at the handwriting that was more ghostly than his own, Lu Chengqi laughed dumbfounded, and thought: "Whose handwriting is this, uglier than mine?"

After pouring out the letter, Lu Chengqi saw the signature and was overjoyed.

"So it's that fat man Lu Chenhuan!"

Lu Chengqi remembered Fatty Lu's name clearly, and I have to say that the arrow from Nanyuyuan really shocked Lu Chengqi.I didn't believe that there was such a thing as a sharpshooter before. Where could an ancient sharpshooter hold a bow and arrow?

Who knew that Fatty Lu subverted Lu Chengqi's cognition, and actually cut the arrow in half from the target. What kind of magical skill is this?

It's no wonder that Lu Chengqi's memory is so deep, it's really incredible!

The image of Fatty Lu, combined with the crooked characters, can be regarded as a person.Lu Chengqi laughed while reading the military information.When he read "I know that there are more than [-] water thieves, more than [-] warships, and countless small boats", Lu Chengqi couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Chengqi knows the importance of the navy better than anyone else.However, no one in the imperial court had such foresight. If Mao said it rashly, it must be a high-ranking one, and no one would agree.Lu Chengqi is also in a dilemma, the navy must develop, and the civil servants must be silenced.This required an excuse, and it was for this reason that Lu Chenhuan was sent to attack the water thieves in the Liangshan River.

Lu Chengqi knew the navy of the Dashun Dynasty like the back of his hand, and knew that Fatty Lu would definitely not be able to fight without a boat. No, the military information was immediately sent to him.With this excuse, I am not afraid that those civil officials will not accept it!

However, the "more than [-]" pirates and the "more than [-]" warships really made Lu Chengqi frightened: "Could it be another "Water Margin", right?"

The destructive power of Song Jiang's gang is still fresh in Lu Chengqi's memory.Although "Water Margin" is suspected of exaggeration, peasant uprisings have always hurt a dynasty.Even the Northern Song Dynasty can only recruit Song Jiang and his gang.

"When did this Liangshanshuipo become a land of thieves again?" Lu Chengqi patted his head, feeling very headache.Seeing the military situation written by Fatty Lu, "Liangshan River is hundreds of miles wide, and it is really difficult to cross it without a warship." Although this is a good excuse for Lu Chengqi, Lu Chengqi doesn't want the pirates to get bigger!
