MTL - Daily Life In Qin Dynasty-Chapter 181 'Pedantic' thoughts

  Chapter 181 "Pedantry"

   "Is this a threat?"

   "This must be a threat?"

  Seeing the gentle smile on Mo Jun's mouth, Fu Nian's heart sank immediately.

   If you answer well, the book will be printed.

   If the answer is not good, does it mean that the other party will print Confucian books for them in the future?

  One side is the reputation of Confucian sages and ancestors.

  One side is the future of Confucianism.

  At this moment, the two were placed in front of Fu Nian at the same time, which instantly made Fu Nian fall into an extremely entangled dilemma.

  Han Fei looked at Fu Nian's flushed round face, then at Mo Jun with a faint smile on his face, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

  This guy... so despicable.

   It's been a while.

  I saw that Fu Nian finally spoke with difficulty: "Fu Nian still thinks..."

   "Ten thousand volumes."

  Before he finished speaking, Mo Jun dropped three words lightly.

  Fu Nian's expression froze suddenly, but then he still gritted his teeth and said: "This matter involves the reputation of my Confucian sage ancestors, Fu Nian dare not..."

   "Twenty thousand volumes."

  Fu Nian's expression froze again, and this time, he hesitated for a few seconds longer than last time, and he didn't even seem to have enough confidence to speak afterwards.

  “Confucianism…”

   "30,000 copies, this is my bottom line. If Mr. Fu Nian is unwilling to agree, then these printed copies have to be given to Mr. Meng."

  As soon as this remark came out.

Before Fu Nian could open his mouth to say anything, Xunzi who was standing beside him immediately stood up, smiled and cupped his hands at Mo Jun and said, "I think what Sheng Ping Jun said just now is right. Why can't you admit it?"

  Han Fei: "???"

   Nian: "!!"

  Han Fei's pupils dilated slightly, and he looked at Xunzi in disbelief, as if he thought of himself as a teacher again.

  Fu Nian looked at Xunzi in astonishment, obviously he didn't expect his uncle to react like this.

  Fu Nian gestured to Xunzi with his eyes, as if to say: 'This is not good! uncle. No matter what the other party said, it also damaged the reputation of the ancestors! '

   Xunzi glanced at him indifferently, and then pointed his eyes back: 'Pedantic, do you think that you can easily damage the reputation of the sages and ancestors with just a word from the other party? '

  Fu Nian: 'That's not the case, it's just that it doesn't respect the sages and ancestors a bit! '

  Xunzi: ‘Fart~~ This is called doing my part. You are a prodigal who doesn't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. You can get 30,000 copies of printing for nothing in one sentence. You prodigal son actually wants to give it up to others. If the sages and patriarchs knew about it, they would have to lift the coffin board and give you a slap in the face. '

  Seeing the behavior of the prodigal Fu Nian just now, Xunzi felt angry.

   I don’t know what’s going on these years, not only Fu Nian, but also many students received by [Little Shengxian Village], they all feel bound by ‘rituals’ and ‘rules’.

  The reason why Confucianism restricts people with "rituals" and "rules" is to use these to restrain desires and evil thoughts in people's hearts, so that people can change themselves and become better.

  But in fact, in [Little Shengxian Village] now, many disciples seem to learn rituals for the sake of 'rituals', and rules for the sake of 'rules'.

  Including Fu Nian, the big brother, is the same.

   Just like just now.

   Not to mention that it is impossible to have much impact on the reputation of the Confucian patriarch with just one sentence.

  The key point is that what Mo Jun did just now is to teach Fu Su, and it is impossible to spread the conversation here.

  Promise Mo Jun, there will be no loss, and even a big benefit for nothing.

on the contrary.

  Rejecting Mr. Mo will not only gain nothing, but may even offend others for no reason.

   This was an easy decision to make, but Fu Nian not only hesitated for so long, but even almost made the wrong choice in the end.

   Reading is stupid, right?

   "Hahaha~~~ Mr. Xun is worthy of being the head of Confucianism. He is indeed knowledgeable and broad-minded!" Hearing what Xunzi said, Mo Jun immediately laughed.

   "Where is it, the old man also learned a lot from Shengping Jun!"

  The two adults, who are proficient in human affairs and sophistication, greeted each other politely. When the dinner time came, Mo Jun invited Xunzi, Fu Nian, and Han Fei to the dining hall.

   After the three of them left, Mo Jun looked down at Fusu and asked, "Does the eldest son still understand?"

  Fu Su looked at the transaction between Mo Jun and Xunzi just now, and he was dumbfounded, and he really learned a lot.

   "Student, I seem to understand a little bit."

   Fusu Road.

  Mr. Mo nodded and said, "In that case, today's teaching will end here first, and then go to eat!"

  ······

Not surprisingly.

  The meals in Mofu also opened Xunzi's horizons.

   Not only the taste, but more importantly, the variety. It is still early spring, although there are already some seasonal vegetables like 'spring bamboo shoots' appearing outside.

   But in general, most of the fruits and vegetables that can be seen on the market today are far from mature.

  However, in Mofu, there are only unexpected things, but there is nothing impossible to eat.

   After a meal, my stomach is full.

  Afterwards, Mr. Mo led Xunzi, a newcomer to the Mo House, to a "one-stop" according to the usual practice.

have to say.

  The mentality of the old man is quite good. When he first came to [Mo House], basically everyone, including Han Fei and Fu Nian, was dragged by Mr. Mo and vaguely completed a set of procedures.

   Young people seem extremely uncomfortable with these new things.

  However, Xunzi, an old man, has learned to enjoy it only when he comes into contact with it for the first time.

  Especially when I was being pinched by a technician, I learned the famous saying without any guidance from anyone:

   "Use a little force, I'm struggling."

  ······

   Wait until the next day.

  Mr. Mo began to organize manpower to assess the Confucian disciples who came for this trip.

  The assessment is not difficult.

  Because Mo Jun has a great demand for teachers this time, especially in basic education.

  If it wasn't for balancing the proportion of the number of people in the upcoming sects, even if Mr. Mo could eat all the Confucian disciples brought by Fu Nian this time, it wouldn't be a big problem.

  After the assessment is over.

  In the end, Mr. Mo obtained 70 junior Confucian teachers, 13 middle-level Confucian teachers, 6 senior Confucian teachers, and 1 nominal doctorate.

   That's right.

  The last doctor is Xunzi.

  Mr. Mo had already sent an invitation to Xunzi when he was soaking in the hot spring last night, and gave Xunzi a general overview of the academy to be built next.

  Although Xunzi said that this trip was also for this academy, if it wasn’t for the idea that Mr. Mo said last night that attracted him, there would be no one in this world who could influence Xunzi’s decision-making.

Of course.

  The 'name' mentioned by Mr. Mo is also one of the reasons.

  Speaking of which, this is also a helpless thing. Mr. Mo set relatively loose thresholds for junior, middle and high school teachers, but he set extremely strict ones for 'doctors'.

  Basically in today's world, most of the people who have reached this threshold are already at the head of a school.

   It is naturally impossible for such a person to join other forces casually, so Mr. Mo had no choice but to bring out the later generations' saying of 'name'.

   In this way.

  Mr. Mo needs to pay Confucianism a total of 1.49+3 million books for printing.

What Mo Jun gave was only the printing qualification, and the money for buying paper and publishing books is still paid by Confucianism. Of course, these are just minor problems. rich people.

   The real problem with Confucianism is that the 1.52 million copies printed are simply not enough.

   Over a million books may seem like a lot.

  However, Confucianism has a long tradition, and countless classics have been accumulated over the years. Even if only a part of them is selected for printing, the amount allocated to each book is estimated to be less than 30,000 copies.

   Put it before.

   This number is indeed very high.

   But in the face of the upcoming storm in the world's "literary world", the printing of more than one million copies is not safe at all.

   In order to continue to get more printing qualifications.

  Fu Nian can only let those eliminated Confucian disciples return to [Little Shengxian Village], and then bring a new batch of Confucian disciples over.

at the same time.

   Not long after the assessment of Confucianism ended, hundreds of Mohist disciples brought back by the Black Man with Six Fingers also successfully arrived in Hanzhong.

   Afterwards, it was the same assessment, but the test questions were replaced with those suitable for the Mohists.

  After the assessment is over.

  The Mohists managed to retain 67 people in exchange for a total of 1.02 million copies printed.

  After the two assessments were over, more and more people from various schools of thought gradually began to gather in Hanzhong...
