Isn’t it a very shallow ideal?

Sima Yi smiled slightly and shook his head. But in fact, such an ideal is not simple at all. Can ordinary people want to eat, drink and have fun? If they can't, they have to be busy all day in order to survive.

How is it possible to eat, drink and have fun? So you must have power, at least not too little power, so that you can ensure that your food, drink and fun are not delayed...

Therefore, when his uncle Sima Hui wanted to use General Zhengxi's action to enhance the status of the Sima family and expand its influence, Sima Yi naturally agreed and felt that he should also play a role in it, so that he could have

You are eligible to eat, drink and have fun in the following period...

The winter wind was still a bit cold, so Sima Yi put his hands into his sleeves, raised his head slightly, and walked forward slowly while running some ideas in his mind.

"Everyone who establishes a country thinks about governance! Seek diligently, use it diligently, do not let the throne go unused, and do not let the orders be empty. Only then can you govern in a kingly way! The people's great desires are food and clothing! If they are not hungry or cold, then

No resentment. When there is no resentment and a gentle breeze, then the world will be in great order, and we can naturally expect it!" Suddenly a clear voice floated out from the sky. Sima Yi looked up and found that there seemed to be someone on the second floor of the restaurant not far behind him.

He was standing in front of the window, his back to Sima Yi, talking eloquently.

"The most important thing for a country is peace of mind. The most important thing for peace is farming and mulberry trees. There are old, young, young and strong men and women, but there are few who can nourish their lives without food and clothing. Therefore, Yao and Shun plowed the land, and your Majesty cultivated it himself.

This is the education of the people! The only one who upholds benevolence and righteousness when they are hungry and cold is a gentleman. However, in this world of chaos, the number of gentlemen is rare!"

It's kind of interesting...

Sima Yi turned around and entered the restaurant, climbing up the steps and listening.

"One man plows, and a hundred people eat. Is it okay for one woman to cultivate silkworms, and to clothe a hundred people? If so, where is the court's land tax? Where are the official carriages and clothes? What is the official salary? It is not easy to cultivate one silkworm and provide for the needs of a hundred people.

Is it like ascending to the sky? Therefore, it is necessary to observe the time of the sky, match the earth and the earth, and use the power to control the mulberry tree! However, there are people who claim to be gentlemen. One is not clear about the time, the other is not clear about the geography, the third is not sweating, and the fourth is not burning the back of the cheeks.

Applying grease and powder during the day, drinking and singing at night, borrowing money to become a chef, gathering people to invite praise and praise, can he be called a scholar? Can he be called a gentleman? "

Sima Yi smiled slightly and saw the impassioned man.

The man had his back to the window, and the sun shone in from behind him, shining on his head and shoulders. He couldn't see his face clearly, and could only vaguely see his eyes as bright as stars.

"According to your words, we all need to stain our backs with sweat, pound the mud and soil, succulent our faces, burn our backs, wait for the rain in the day, and long for the rain at night, before we can be called scholars? If so, why don't you go?

?" In the restaurant lobby, someone said disdainfully and sarcastically.

"That is, in ancient times, there were categories to build a country. Scholars passed down poems and books, farmers worked on the grass, workers specialized in making ink, and merchants traded goods. Everyone performed their duties and got their own places. Now if a scholar goes to farm mulberry trees, his hair will be like a bush, and he will be in danger.

What's the use of farming if you're walking in danger and swinging a hoe? Who will pass down poems and books? Farmers? It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous..." Someone else said in agreement.

"Ha!" Sima Yi couldn't help but said loudly, "A scholar's biography of poems and books? That's right! But do you have any poems and books to pass on? You might as well give it a try! The crown of a scholar, the uniform of a scholar, and the books of a scholar can make him a scholar.

How can one be called a scholar if he doesn't know how to read, can't speak the scriptures, doesn't know anything, and has useless hands and feet? Zhongni still said that he is not as good as a farmer, but today's people actually betray their ancestors and forget the scriptures, which violates the wishes of the ancestors! How can it be surprising?

Yes!"

"You...who are you! How dare you make such nonsense!" Someone pointed his halberd at Sima Yi. Seeing that he was young, he shouted, "Where is your lord? Stop making trouble, go quickly, go quickly!"

"Sima Yi in Xiawen County..." Sima Yi ignored the people gesticulating on the side, but went straight to the person at the window and cupped his hands, saying, "I have met my brother."

"I'm Wang Chang of Taiyuan." Wang Chang returned the salute to Sima Yi and asked, "I wonder if Brother Sima and Mr. Shui Jing..."

"Mr. Shui Jing is my uncle..." Sima Yi said.

"Oh... I've admired you for a long time, I've admired you for a long time..." Wang Chang raised his eyebrows and saluted again.

Both of them smiled slightly, seeming to have reached a tacit understanding.

In the lobby of the restaurant, Sima Yi was just accused of lying, and the person with no identity also shut up. If Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui was only slightly famous in Jingxiang, Hanoi, but now he has a name in Shoushan Academy

, and I heard that General Zhengxi was once given the title "Yinkun", so naturally everyone in Pingyang knew it.

"Ahem..." Someone in the lobby coughed and said, "Sima's younger brother's words are wrong. Confucius said that he was not as good as a gardener. It was Fan Chi who asked him to learn from farming. Confucius said that he was not as good as him. He also said that a villain is not as good as a farmer.

Alas, Fan Xuye! If you are good at etiquette, the people will not dare to be disrespectful; if you are good at righteousness, no people will dare to disobey; if you are good at trust, then the people will not dare to be unkind. If you are like this, the people from all over the world will bear their sons.

Well, how can we use crops? We also respect the words of Confucius, learn etiquette clearly, and be trustworthy and sincere, so what is wrong? Or is it possible that little brother Sima misinterpreted the meaning of the sage?"

"That is to say, Confucius also said that a gentleman seeks the way, not food. Plowing is where discouragement lies; learning is where salary is. A gentleman worries about the way, not poverty! If it is true as what you two said, isn't it true that everyone is busy with their plans?

When it comes to food, who seeks the Tao? It can be said that the two of you are putting the cart before the horse!"

Sima Yi turned around and stood side by side with Wang Chang, his eyes flowing, and he secretly thought to himself that if I dig a hole casually, someone will jump down, it’s really not interesting at all...

Wang Chang smiled and said, "How about I answer for Brother Sima?"

Sima Yi stretched out his palm and turned it slightly, signaling Wang Chang obediently.

"When you are hungry and thirsty for food, this is what people want. When you are poor and discouraged, you have Fan Chi's intention and study as a farmer to benefit your family. Is this wrong?" Wang Chang said loudly, "Confucius attaches great importance to Fan Chi. You

When you know that you ask the farmer, you should also know that he also asks the three questions of benevolence, including knowing, advocating virtue, cultivating one's profession, and debating doubts, etc. Confucius also said that this is the best!"

Wang Chang said, then glanced at Sima Yi, as if asking whether this answer was in the right direction.

Sima Yi nodded slightly, and then continued: "Farming mulberry trees is good for maintaining health. Farming carefully is no match for natural and man-made disasters. Therefore, Confucius said that Fan Chi seeks the way of a villain. A gentleman should not think about poverty and food.

, use your heart to act clearly, become an official in politics, and achieve great virtues. The old master said, if a person has no long-term worries, he will have immediate worries. You talk about Confucius and Saints, but there is no Zhongni in your heart. You only know one, but don't know the other.

!What Brother Wang just said is the Great Way of Confucius and Saints! It should be noted that when Zhongni was young, he also had a lowly career, so he was able to do many despicable things! Confucius was poor since he was a child, tending to warehouses, herding cattle and sheep, plowing acres of land, and enjoying the wind and the sun

Sun, Fifty Years of Fang is determined to learn! Knowing the hard work, there is a saying, 'Plowing is the source of discouragement, and learning is the source of salary.' That's right!"

"Hey! Those who don't know how to farm mulberry trees but eat their salary are no different from harming the country and harming the people! Scholars should govern the world, and farmers should cultivate the land. However, only those with clear and bright assistants can understand the way of governance, so as not to disturb the times. 10.

Sheep Jiu Mu, he doesn’t know what to do, he just wanders around and doesn’t know what to do. The most important thing for a gentleman is to know farming, military, craftsmanship, and business. He can establish himself as a politician, follow his rules and imitate them, and determine his power.

Ye. In ancient times, gentlemen always calculated things in temples and then worked on them. Therefore, there was a time for their response, and their success was tangible. People thought it was a long process that could not be understood, but gentlemen thought it was inevitable, just like everything cooked is cooked, and everything planted is born.

That’s why it uses less effort and achieves success quickly.” Wang Chang continued, “If you don’t experience farming in person, how can you know the world? If you don’t go to the battlefield in person, how can you understand the blood and courage? Sitting down to discuss politics, orders are changed in the morning and night, and their development

A government is just a trial implementation. Whether it will help or not is not known. The benefits and harms of the previous government were not seen, and then the subsequent government has relapsed. How can the people adapt to this? "

"That's why, those who talk without any reality will be ashamed to be in company!" Sima Yi said, shaking his sleeves, "Brother Wang, why don't you go back?"

"Go back, you should go back!" Wang Chang laughed, then extended his hand as an invitation, and Sima Yi took his arm and walked out together.
