What's the matter?
"Lord Xu actually remembers Feng Xiao? Do they know each other?"
"I don't know. Fengxiao probably doesn't know Daren. They look similar in age and are both young talents.”
"Haha! Like Feng Xiao, a genius like Daren is naturally famous. We can't compare to those who appreciate each other.”
"Although it's difficult to compare, I can keep my heart and wait for the right time.”
After being dragged away, the rest of the scholars revealed strange expressions and began to talk.
Guo Fengxiao had been living alone in Yingchuan for a long time. He lived in seclusion and studied books.
There were many books in his family, and he was modest, valiant, and unrestrained. He usually did not care about trivial matters with others, but once there was an argument, he could always calm it down with a word.
Therefore, although the people from the same village didn't say it, in reality, they all secretly respected Guo Jia.
It was as if the first place in literature did not work on him.
"Why didn't you tell Xi Zhicai or Wen Ruo that you were here? Aren't you friends?”
Xu Zhen asked along the way. They walked out of the tent. Guo Jia felt that his hand was being pulled, so he was very confused from the beginning to the end.
What was with the sudden intimacy? I don't think I've ever seen an adult before.
" Uh..." Guo Jia coughed a few times and said softly,"" This one has accepted the wishes of the villagers and has nothing to do with Wen Ruo and Zhi Cai. Furthermore, this one does not intend to be an official. Please, Lord Xu…Uh…"
Guo Jia realized that he couldn't continue. He felt that rejecting Yuan Shao wasn't a big deal, so he kept rejecting him. Moreover, his words were fierce, and he said that Guo Tu, Tian Feng, and the others didn't know how to judge people.
Yuan Shao was not a wise ruler.
However, he couldn't say it in front of Xu Zhen. This person was handsome and unrestrained, and the corners of his mouth were filled with confidence.
He was handsome and elegant, a good young master of the world. Such a description seemed to be very appropriate.
"If you don't want to be an official, what reward do you want?”
"Fengxiao, I don't want anything."
Guo Jia smiled faintly.
Xu Zhen was speechless." It's really as Xun Yu said."”
"What did Wen Ruo say about me?"
"Stubborn," Xu Zhen said.
Guo Jia was stunned, then smiled without saying anything.
Xu Zhen thought for a while and said,"Then I'll personally give you a jar of good wine."”
"How good can it be?" Guo Jia didn't refuse." I like strong liquor. The stronger the better.”
"Do you like horses? He drank the strongest wine, rode the strongest horse, and slept with the strongest woman!”
Guo Jia was taken aback. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his heart skipped a beat. The first two sentences were pretty good, but the last sentence…didn't sound like something a Confucian scholar would say.
" I didn't expect to see your name, but since I saw it, it must be fate. Of course, I can't let you run away," Xu Zhen said heroically.
"Milord, why are you looking for me?"
Xu Zhen became serious." It's a major matter. The strategy of running a school will benefit all generations. In the spring of next year, I will open a school in Xuchang and enroll 3,000 students. There will be no distinction in education. It will be divided into three subjects: physics, Confucianism, and Dharma and Mohism.”
"Fa Mo? "Sir, you want to…" Guo Jia was shocked, and shock appeared on his face. This was a rebellious statement!
"Laws and Mohism are the foundation, and the rule is strict. Mohism is the rule, Confucianism is the foundation, and Dao is the pursuit. Each has their own strengths, and we should take their strengths to make up for their shortcomings. We will benefit the people and let the poor scholars have a way out.”
Guo Jia was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
He still had the same feeling. If someone else had said that, he would have directly rejected them.
But this was Xu Zhen…Lord Xu, the god Xu Zhen, a heavenly star who had descended to the mortal world. Now, he was a person who had great merit in Yanzhou and Yingchuan.
Moreover, this person's eyes lit up when he spoke, making Guo Jia not know how to reject him.
"If I told you that the world we live in is a ball, would you believe me?”
"If I ask you why fruits fall down from the tree instead of flying into the sky, how would you answer?”
"If I say that I can make you, Fengxiao, who has a weaker physique, move a thousand-pound boulder, would you believe me?”
……
Xu Zhen asked a few ifs in a row, which stunned Guo Jia.
He could not recover from these questions for a long time. It was as if Xu Zhen had swung a sledgehammer and hit him directly in the heart.
Why did the fruit fall to the ground?
The land we live on is a ball?
I…can move a thousand-pound cauldron?
Guo Jia fell into a state of confusion. What was all this? Had his lord gone mad?
But what if it was true…
" Look." Xu Zhen suddenly squatted down and picked up a branch to draw on the ground. He drew a lever and then used a mechanical formula to write down the length of the arm needed to lift a thousand pounds of force.
Xu Zhen stared at him and said,""If I had a long enough lever and a supporting point, I could lift the whole man!”
Lifting…the entire…big man?
The corners of Xu Zhen's mouth curled up as he smiled and said,"How about it? Do you want to try lifting it?”
Guo Jia was a little embarrassed. He had never thought of such knowledge before. It was as if he had opened up a new world. Confucian scholars studied the art of war and the strategy of governing the country. They studied the overall situation, the situation, and the thoughts of people. They rarely had such pragmatic thoughts.
" No, no, no, I won't lift it." Guo Jia gave up the idea of trying to lift the Thousand Jin Cauldron. At the same time, he understood what Xu Zhen was talking about.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, something called a scale used this principle. However, it was somewhat different from Lord Xu's.
"You are not a Confucian?"
Guo Fengxiao asked a crucial question.
Xu Zhen thought for a moment and nodded." I am, but I don't reject others. In troubled times, militarists, in peaceful times, in prosperous times, Confucianism. Every academic has a suitable path, and Confucianism is the only one…Although there are unique aspects, other academic fields cannot be dismissed. Now is the time to save the country. The Han Dynasty is flourishing, so we can't be arrogant and work behind closed doors.”
Guo Fengxiao nodded in agreement. Then, he added," But…"
"Aiya, but what but!"
Xu Zhen took his hand and went all the way to his own barracks. He asked Dian Wei and Zhao Yun to bring wine and put it on the table. The wine was not strong and could be drunk for a long time.
"Come on, let's drink and talk. If you have anything to say, let's finish it first!”
Dian Wei and Zhao Yun looked at each other, especially Dian Wei. He licked his lips and said,"Hey, Sir, the emergency period has passed, right? Then should I…"
"Come, come, come, drink…"
Xu Zhen rolled his eyes at him.
"Hey!"
Dian Wei immediately moved a wooden table over and sat on it with a restrained expression. He was extremely excited. He drank a few big bowls first and then began to talk loudly.
"Sir, you seem to be Marquis Ji Wu, right?”
" Yeah." Xu Zhen was stunned. Why did he suddenly mention this?
"Then I'm my own man! If I didn't join the army, I might have become your family's tenant farmer!”
"Fate! With this fate, why don't you give me some special privileges so that I won't be banned in the military camp in the future?”
"Get lost!"
