Dong Zhongshu's mood became more and more depressed, but Dou Ying was high-spirited.He constantly cheered Dong Zhongshu up, cheered him up, and took out the courage to not peep into the garden for three years, and did another career.He even used Confucius as a metaphor.Confucius I was downcast, had no chance to realize his ambitions, but never gave up, and finally became a saint.The prince who was at the same time as him, do you remember a few talking and talking, Dou Ying was even moved by himself.Of course, it is important whether you can be a great minister, but it is only rich and noble during your lifetime, and whether you can be remembered by future generations has little to do with how big an official you are.Confucius's highest official position is only three months of the Great Priest, Lao Tzu is a pillar official, Mencius has not even been an official, and Xunzi is just a Lanling order.But they left behind learning, ideas, and immortal fame.Specific to himself, he is a person who has been a general and prime minister, and he has reached the peak of his life, and it is nothing more than an official again, and it is impossible to make any progress.In this case, why not concentrate on learning and leave one or two books that can make you famous in history, Dou Ying told Dong Zhongshu what he thought.Although Dong Zhongshu was not as decisive as Dou Ying, he did not object, and his mood was much more cheerful.When he arrived in Chang'an, Dou Ying took Dong Zhongshu straight to Tianlu Pavilion, found Taishi Ling Sima Tan, and proposed to read the old files of the Qin Dynasty in the palace.Dou Ying and Dong Zhongshu are both doctors around the Son of Heaven, and they are calling the old files of the Qin Dynasty, which are equivalent to classics, and do not involve the secrets of this dynasty, so Sima Tan agreed without thinking too much.Dou Ying asked Dong Zhongshu to check the archives in the palace, but he left the palace and went straight to the palace of the chief princess of the museum.Since the last time I went to see Dou Ying and was kicked out of the gate by Dou Ying, the princess of the pavilion Tao was a little afraid of Dou Ying.At this moment, seeing Dou Ying coming to the door aggressively, she was very surprised.was extremely happy again, and hurriedly welcomed Dou Ying to the hall.As soon as Dou Ying took a seat, he said straight to the point: "Liang Xiao Zengyi, I heard about it" The princess of the pavilion nodded embarrassedly.The Son of Heaven gave Liang Xiao an increase in Yi, no matter what his intention was, at least it showed that the Son of Heaven would not be unfavorable to Liang Xiao.And Liang Xiao gave Maoling's property to Wang Meiren.In fact, it was a loud slap in the face of the princess of the pavilion, but Wang Meiren was sent to the palace by her rival Princess Pingyang."
I heard about it, and I was relieved to learn that Liang Xiao's grace was not declining.""
You should be nervous."
Dou Ying said unceremoniously: "After this change, I'm afraid Liang Xiao won't give you any more benefits."
I know that your family has billions of dollars, and you don't care about that little money.But if your children can keep this property, if they can't open source, even if they have a mountain of gold, sooner or later they will be empty. ”The princess of the pavilion sighed: "The matter has come to this."
Dou Ying did not answer Princess Tao's question."
Your Majesty wants to march west, Pingyang Hou Cao Shi is the main general, and Wei Qing is the deputy general."
The Pavilion Chief Princess was confused by his leaping thinking, but then her face changed greatly.She smelled the crisis from this arrangement.Cao Shi is the husband of the eldest princess of Pingyang, Wei Qing is the younger brother of Wei Zifu, and he is also from the mansion of the eldest princess of Pingyang.What about the queen, when the crown prince's position is undecided.If Wei Zifu or Wang Meimei gave birth to a prince, the queen could change at any time.The more the princess thought about it, the more she thought about it.She even felt that it was a trap for the Son of Heaven to ask her to buy Liang Xiao's property at a low price.Now that Liang Xiao has turned his face with her, he refuses to support the queen, and instead gives gifts to Wang Meiren, isn't this a move worth being wary of The princess of the pavilion Tao became nervous and left the table.Tightly tugging on Dou Ying's sleeve."
Wang Sun, save me" Dou Ying squinted at the princess of the pavilion, with an undisguised sneer on the corner of her mouth.He is qualified to do this, in terms of seniority, she is the same age as the princess of the pavilion Tao.In terms of ability, he can throw off Princess Tao a few streets.Now that the Pavilion Chief Princess has made a big mistake again, of course he can mock her to his heart's content.After setting up the shelf, Dou Ying let go and raised two fingers."
There are two ways to save the day."
The princess of the museum pottery was overjoyed."
You say, I'll listen to you.""
First, of course, it is to send children to join the army.The family of the liehou originally had the obligation to join the army to fight.Shandong Dashui, the imperial court has been fighting for many years, and the use is insufficient, if you are willing to contribute people and money to help the war, presumably the Son of Heaven will not object.If you can make meritorious service, of course, it is very good, even if you can't make meritorious service, you can still accumulate contacts in the army. ”"Will the Son of Heaven agree, what if you are injured, the battlefield is a dangerous place."
Dou Ying said angrily: "Afraid of death, what kind of wealth do you want, look at those boys of your family, fighting cocks and lackeys every day, dancing knives and swords, and being afraid that the marquis of your Chen family who went into battle was not earned on the battlefield" The princess of the pavilion Tao was choked by Dou Ying and couldn't speak, her face was red, and she had to talk about him left and right."
The other way is to put some thought into it.Your family's party has become famous, but the results are limited, except for the techniques provided by Liang Xiao, most of them are literary words, floating in form, and cannot be implemented.You should plan and come up with something practical.It can not only open up a new source of wealth, but also make a name for itself in the world. ”The princess of the pavilion Tao was in good spirits."
What is a practical thing" is either a specific technology that can solve a practical problem, or an academic theory that is new.If it is actual technology, it is needless to say more, and the truth can be known as soon as it is verified.If it is a theory, it must stand up to scrutiny, and it cannot be vague or marginal.is like Dong Zhongshu's three strategies of heaven and man, which seems to be on a grand scale, but it is actually full of flaws. ”In order to persuade the princess of the pavilion, Dou Ying did not hesitate to "betray" Dong Zhongshu.Princess Tao originally knew that Dong Zhongshu was refuted by Liang Xiao, but now she heard that Dong Zhongshu said that the disaster was snubbed by the Son of Heaven, and she couldn't help but be funny and sad.Dong Zhongshu spent most of his life trying to establish this theory, but in the end he brought humiliation on himself, which is really pitiful.It also reminded her that instead of saying big and empty words, it was better to do something real.The academics done by Liang Xiao and his wife seem to be unelegant, but they have few flaws, and they have become a way to make money.For Dou Ying's suggestion, the princess of the pavilion Tao was grateful and accepted it all.Dou Ying finally put forward a suggestion: the princess of the pavilion Tao funded Dong Zhongshu to study the economic gains and losses of the Qin Dynasty.Specifically.It is to provide a sum of money to protect Dong Zhongshu's life.After Dong Zhongshu had the results, the Chen family organized a gathering and preached.Finally, he organized people to copy and disseminate it for Dong Zhongshu to promote and publish his research results to the world.Dou Ying roughly estimated it, thinking that it would take a year.The total cost should not exceed three hundred gold.The princess of the pavilion Tao almost did not hesitate and agreed.First, this matter was raised by Dou Ying, and she couldn't refute Dou Ying's face.Second, three hundred gold is not money at all for her, if she can exchange it for fame and keep the queen's position, this transaction is earned.Dou Ying returned satisfied.Coming out of the Pavilion Tao Chang Princess Mansion, he didn't go anywhere else, went directly to his home, and ordered someone to gather the children of the Dou family.Anyone who is in Beijing.All of them will report to Wei Qihou's Mansion on a certain day.Yan An got off the boat, lifted the hem of his clothes, took a big stride, and rushed to Liang Xiao who was standing on the shore, and laughed loudly: "Junhou, you are too polite, I can't afford it."
If the imperial historians had known, they would have impeached me for being rude. ”Liang Xiao greeted him.Reach out and hold Yan An's arm."
Alright, alright.There's no imperial history here, so don't be too particular.I'm an idler now, and I shouldn't have disturbed your trip, but I didn't come to greet you, and I was afraid that you would say that I wasn't a friend enough. ”"How dare you, how dare you."
Yan An said repeatedly.The two talked and laughed.They got on their horses together and walked towards the courtyard.Yan An is not the first time to come, and he is no stranger to Lushan Villa.But when he arrived at the foot of Bailu Ridge, he was still taken aback.The size of the courtyard halfway up the mountain has at least tripled, and seven or eight courtyards, large and small, are scattered between the mountains.They look at each other across the trees, but they don't interfere with each other.The only thing that is the same is the gleaming glass windows.Yan An was surprised."
Junhou, you are" "I am not in good health, inherit the grace of Your Majesty, and recuperate in Lushan."
I was bored in my illness, so I wanted to talk to someone.This Yuzhang is remote, and there are not many learned people, so I built these courtyards, hoping to recruit famous people from all over the world to come and live, lecture and talk about Taoism, and spend time. ”Yan An didn't speak, but his eyebrows frowned slightly.Listening to Liang Xiao's meaning, he wanted to attract customers.He wasn't such a person before, the master father took the initiative to come to the door, but he resigned, why did he have such a thought now Liang Xiao looked at Yan An's expression in his eyes, pretended not to know, and then said: "I also know that although there are many famous people in the world, there are few people who are indifferent to fame and fortune, but all talented people are willing to go to Chang'an to serve the imperial court, even if they come to Yuzhang, I am afraid they also want to take me here as a shortcut."
In order not to delay their future, I want to make it clearer. ”Liang Xiao led Yan An to the front of the main hall and pointed to the plaque on the hall.Yan An took a look and saw that there were four seal characters written on the plaque: Bailu Courtyard.He said lightly: "Good name, Bailu Courtyard on Bailu Ridge is very appropriate." ”"This white deer is not another white deer."
Liang Xiao laughed.Yan An was puzzled: "Junhou, what do you mean by this white deer?"
"White-clothed scholars, don't ask for dry luck." ”Liang Xiao pulled Yan An into the courtyard, pointing to those clean and tidy high chairs, delicate and not flashy pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
I hope that the people who come here are sincerely eager to learn, rather than seeking my recommendation to become an official in the court, so they are named Bailuyuan.Those who come here can ride deer into the mountains, but they can not chase deer in the mountains. ”Yan An suddenly realized, and couldn't help but shake his head again and again."
The prince has such a deep meaning, I am afraid that it will take some words to explain it clearly.And there are probably not a few people who run for nothing. ”"That's right, it is precisely because of such worries that I want to ask Yan Jun to make a big endowment for my White Deer Courtyard and clarify the meaning of this White Deer for me.Yan Jun is famous, and after reading your Fu, people all over the world will understand the meaning of Bailu, and naturally they will not run in vain. ”Only then did Yan An understand Liang Xiao's true intentions.Using his pen to show the people of the world that the White Deer Courtyard has nothing to do with the imperial court, it is still secondary, and to show the Son of Heaven that he has no intention of raising customers, and this is the key to studying wholeheartedly.He is the messenger of the Son of Heaven, after Chang'an, he naturally wants to report what he has seen and heard here to the Son of Heaven, plus that Fu, even if the Son of Heaven refuses to believe it all, he can't find Liang Xiao's fault."
Since you don't want to do it, then what kind of knowledge do you study in the White Deer Academy" Liang Xiao said with a smile: "Arithmetic, physics, and some small skills that you university scholars can't look at, such as iron smelting, salt making, and the like."
I don't want to raise a bunch of idlers for nothing, I have to be self-sufficient. ”Yan An couldn't help but laugh.Of course, he knew that Liang Xiao and his wife had a good way of making money, and although the knowledge they studied was not very profound, it was all practical skills.Colored glass and iron smelting have brought them rolling financial resources.If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have been able to spend so much money to build such a beautiful White Deer Courtyard."
Then I can't write this fu in vain" Yan An let go of the doubts in his heart and joked."
I don't dare to be too greedy, I just want to have a place to stay for a few days when I have the opportunity to come to Yuzhang, how to wait for me at any time."
Even if you don't say it, I'll leave a place for you. ”Liang Xiao smiled: "Of course, I also know that your Yan An's pen price will definitely not treat you badly."
Before leaving, a stroke of Cheng Yi is inevitable. ”The two looked at each other and smiled.Yan An has a mission in his body, and he can't stay in Lushan for a long time to recover his life.He stayed only two days before he set off.During these two days, Liang Xiao gave him a detailed introduction to the purpose of establishing Bailu Academy.Of course, it's just a joke to talk to someone, but it's also true that he doesn't plan to study too advanced issues.For the time being, the scholars in the academy are those who study arithmetic, physics, and even the crafts of craftsmen, and the most studied subject is geometry.Liang Xiao asked Yan An to attend a gathering of scholars discussing geometric problems, and gave him a translation of the original geometry.These translations are all copied on new paper, and the handwriting is neat and delicate, and it is hard to put down.With the soft and smooth new paper, Yan An exclaimed in surprise.Liang Xiao gave him fifty pieces of new paper and told him that the development of new paper in the Huainan Palace's mansion had been completed, and mass production was imminent, but the Huainan King himself was a university scholar, and it was estimated that it would be impossible to supply a large amount of paper to the market in a short period of time.The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, and Yan An remembers them one by one.What surprised Yan An the most was that as one of the former envoys, Liang Xiao showed a lack of interest in the situation in South Vietnam, and did not even ask a relevant word.Yan An was curious, and finally had to take the initiative to mention his mission.Liang Xiao listened quietly, and finally said: "Yan Jun, it was originally a good plan to take Panyu by sea, but unfortunately this plan has been exposed in advance.Although Lu Jia is born, he is not stupid, not to mention that he is complemented by experienced generals such as Zhao Guang.Without careful preparation, it is better not to use troops against South Vietnam.Remember, remember that "Yan An bows to be taught:
