Chapter 437

Following the issuance of the hero post, scholars from all over the world began to pour into Shanhai City. The Juxian Building in the Southwest University Hall has been completed, and you are welcome to settle in.

Among the scholars, Shen Buhai and Shen Dao from Legalism were the first to come.

The three schools of Legalism, Law, Technique, and Power, are represented by Wei Yang, Shen Buhai, and Shen Dao. When it came to Han Feizi, he integrated the thoughts of legalists into Dacheng, and closely combined "law, technique, and power".

Wei Yang stepped forward and received Shen Buhui and Shen Dao.

Shen Buhai is a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a handsome face. He is unsmiling and has a stern expression. Anyone who knows him well knows that this person is typically cold-faced and warm-hearted.

It's so different, this is a kind old man who can make people feel like a spring breeze as soon as they meet. In addition to being a famous legalist, Shen Dao is also one of the representatives of the Huang-Lao school of Taoism.

The three of them met each other during the Warring States Period, and when they met now, they were naturally very affectionate.

"Brother Wei Yang, hurry up, the three of us discuss how to deal with Confucianism's difficulties." Shen Buhai is impatient, and as soon as we met, he would pull Wei Yang to discuss a debate with Confucianism.

Seeing this, Wei Yang secretly laughed.

Not only did Wei Yang understand everything about Junhou's thoughts, but at least he had a good grasp of them. He knew that, as far as Yu Junhou was concerned, the purpose was not to really let the two schools of Confucianism and Legalism compete.

In fact, it is difficult to tell the winner.

Today is different from the past, hundreds of scholars, across time and space, gather here. What kind of event is this?

Among Confucianism, there are Confucius, Mencius and Xunzi.

Among the Legalists, there is also Han Feizi, a master of later generations.

The debate between Wei Yang and Mencius in Jixia Academy back then can no longer be replicated. The 5,000-year historical practice of China has long proved that Confucianism and Legalism have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Confucianism is morality and spiritual home.

Legalism is the law and the cornerstone of society.

Both are indispensable.

After becoming Director of the Interior, Wei Yang did not cherish himself. In Shanhai City, there are real experts and professors in the legal field. Wei Yang frequently discussed with these experts the issues of the rule of law and the law.

The law of the Legalists is different from the law of reality. Although they are all governed by the rule of law, they are actually completely different. The legalist rule of law is more like "criminal rule".

The law of the Legalists is the law of the king. In the final analysis, it serves the emperor.

The way of Confucianism is the way of kings, and it is also sold in the emperor's house.

Therefore, it is impossible for this competition to overlap with history.

How vast is Jiang Shang's wisdom. He lived in seclusion in the Southwest University Hall, sorting out and lingering in the collection of thousands of volumes. The depth of his thoughts, especially Jiang Shang in history, is completely different.

It was precisely after seeing the essence of the Contest that Jiang Shang set up [reading] and [preaching], these two meaningful procedures.

Wei Yang's wisdom is also unfathomable.

Seeing that Shen Buhai was so impatient, Wei Yang smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Shen, why should you be impatient. In this contest between Confucianism and Legalism, the Legalists have to wait for Han Feizi to come forward and preside over the overall situation."

"That's right." Shen Buhai nodded, and said, "In this case, why didn't brother Wei Yang introduce the grandpa for us? Don't be afraid that brother Weiyang will make jokes, Shen has looked up to the grandpa for a long time."

"I think so too."

Shen Dao was at the side, listening to the two people's conversation quietly, then just said with a smile: "Go together, go together."

"Haha~~"

The three looked at each other and smiled, feeling happy.

***********

In the western suburbs of Shanhai City, Qingyang Temple.

When Wei Yang was entertaining Shen Buhai and Shen, Qingyang Temple also welcomed four special guests.

The master of the temple, Taoist Ge Yan, personally led the four of them to the quiet room with a respectful expression.

It's no wonder that he came here as the ancestor of Taoism.

The four guests are all white-haired old men, they are Laozi, Zhuangzi and Yang Zhu of Taoism. The last one is Chuang Tzu's friend, Hui Shi, one of the representatives of famous schools.

When it comes to Huishi and Zhuangzi, we have to mention the famous "Debate between Hao and Liang".

Zhuangzi and Huizi swim on Haoliang.

Zhuangzi said: "The minnows travel leisurely, which is the joy of the fish."

Huizi said: "You are not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?"

Zhuangzi said: "You are not me, how can you know that I don't know the joy of fish?"

Huizi said: "I am not a son, I do not know the son, and the son is definitely not a fish, and the son does not know the joy of the fish, it is all."

Zhuangzi said: "Please follow the basics. The master said that if you know the fish and the clouds, you know that I know it and ask me, and I know the Haoshang."

In a simple debate, it is not difficult to find that Hui Shi's logic is more rigorous than Zhuang Zi's. It is a kind of logic just because famous scholars focus on debating the relationship between "name" and "reality".

Of course, Zhuangzi just used fish to express his joy.

Like Legalism, Taoism is also divided into three schools, namely the Lao-Zhuang School, the Huang-Lao School, and the Yang-Zhu School. The most famous is the Laozi and Zhuangzi schools represented by Laozi and Zhuangzi.

The least famous one is the Yang Zhu School.

The Yang Zhu faction advocates avoiding harm throughout life, valuing oneself for oneself, emphasizing the preservation of personal life, and opposes encroachment by others on oneself and encroachment by oneself on others. It belongs to the other branch of Taoism.

After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was annihilated because it was not tolerated by the world.

You sit in the quiet room, and Daoist Ge Yan sits at the last seat with you.

"Dare to ask Zu, but you want to participate in the Contest?"

Although Laozi is not the founder of Taoism, he is revered by Taoism as the ancestor of Taoism.

When Lao Tzu heard this, he smiled and said nothing.

Zhuangzi turned a blind eye and focused on the teacup in front of him.

Only Yang Zhu raised his head, glanced at Daoist Ge, and said, "I'm waiting for this visit. One is to pay homage to the Grand Duke, and the other is to borrow from the library. I will not participate in this debate."

When Daoist Ge heard the words, his expression was clear.

Just to put it bluntly, with Lao Zhuang's personality, he would definitely not participate in this matter. Speaking of which, Confucius of Confucianism is still half a student of Lao Tzu.

***********

The next day, Xunzi of Confucianism rushed to Shanhai City with a group of Confucian disciples.

Ouyang Shuo arranged for Fan Zhongyan, the director of the administrative department, to entertain the Confucian scholars. He just wanted to send a signal to Confucian scholars all over the world through Fan Zhongyan's mouth.

Shanhai City is inclusive, not limited to a certain family or faction.

In addition to the Confucianism and Legalism, people from other schools also came one after another. Their purpose in coming to Shanhai City is similar to that of Laozi, Zhuangzi and others.

In addition to participating in the contention conference, the most important thing is to pay homage to the Taigong and borrow from the library.

It stands to reason that the library has been in Shanhai City for a long time, why didn't it come before?

This has to be mentioned, the little Jiujiu in the hearts of all schools and factions.

Just imagine, if it wasn't for the competition, if you came to Shanhai City to borrow the library at other times, you would have to deal with Ouyang Shuo, a difficult lord.

Among the hundreds of families, not everyone is willing to settle in Shanhai City.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, each faction can only endure and hold back. Until Shanhai City convened a contention conference, swarms came here in an open and aboveboard manner.

At this time, Ouyang Shuo didn't have the face to meet and pester the family.

I have to say, they are all human beings.

The visiting scholars, like Shen Buhai and Shen Dao, were aboveboard. Some, like Lao Zhuang, came secretly without notifying the host.

Such as Mozi.

When Mozi came to Shanhai City, he didn't disturb anyone, and the place he stayed was not the Juxian Building specially prepared by Shanhai City, or the inn in the city.

The place where Mozi stayed was just an inconspicuous carpentry workshop in the city.

The owner of the carpentry workshop is a member of the Mohist school.

Compared with the others, Mohist scholars have already infiltrated into the major territories. This is convenient only because most of the Mohist members come from the lower classes of society and are well-organized.

The disciples of the Mohists, those who engage in discussion and debate, are called "Mo Bian". Those who engage in martial arts are called "Mo Xia".

The leader of the Mohist school, known as the "giant".

Among the hundreds of schools, I am afraid that only the Mo family has already extended its tentacles to the players' territories.

Think about it, it's really scary.

For the scholars whose names are listed in the newspaper, the Southern Border Protectorate will arrange special personnel to receive them, such as Xu Xing from the farm. Xu Xing was a middle-aged man with a long beard and plain clothes, just like a real farmer.

The farm got its name because of its emphasis on agricultural production. Ouyang Shuo specially arranged for Sun Yannong, the director of agriculture, to accompany Xu Xing on a special trip to read agricultural classics in the library.

One of the works I have to mention is [Qi Min Yao Shu] written by Jia Sixie.

Seeing this work, Xu Xing was really overjoyed.

In addition to reading classics, Sun Yannong also led Xu Xing to visit the outskirts of the city.

During the Battle of Julu, Ouyang Shuo exchanged the "Manual of Ancient Farming Tools Manufacturing Technique" in the battle mall. As soon as the campaign was over, he handed over the Manual to the Department of Agriculture.

Obtaining this "Manual", Sun Yannong naturally felt like a treasure, and immediately arranged for people to build a special farm tool workshop to research and produce various farm tools, and strive to spread all kinds of farm tools to the entire territory as soon as possible.

The focus of Sun Yannong's tour with Xu Xing was the farm tool workshop built on the outskirts of the city.

After visiting along the way, Xu Xing was pleasantly surprised one after another. For a man like him, nothing could be more attractive.

In addition to farm tools, Shanhai City is also full of surprises in terms of crop cultivation. Don't forget, there are several modern agricultural experts in the Southwest University Hall.

On the same day, Xu Xing decided to settle down in Shanhai City.

When Ouyang Shuo got the news, he immediately made a decision to set up an agricultural college in the Southwest University Hall as a dojo for farmers, and hired Xu Xing as the dean of the agricultural college.

Several agricultural experts in the territory were also transferred to the Agricultural College.

In just a few days, the Agricultural College was formally established.

The first batch of trainees were the low-level officials of the Department of Agriculture recommended by various prefectures and counties.

On the first day of school, Ouyang Shuo received a system announcement.

"System announcement: The representative of the farm family——Xu Xing became an official in Shanhai, took charge of the Agricultural College, and recruited many disciples. At the same time, he met the three conditions for the school to settle in. A farmer from a hundred families officially settled in Shanhai City."

...

"System Announcement: Farmers from hundreds of schools of thought have officially settled in Shanhai City, and the title of [Sacred Land of Farmers] will be bestowed on Shanhai City as a reward. Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi!"

...

As soon as the announcement was made, the lords were only jealous.

Who doesn't know that Shanhai City is about to hold a contention conference.

Unexpectedly, before the meeting even started, Shanhai City would go down first and take down the farmhouse.

It's so infuriating that people compare to others!
