In the Song Dynasty, being an official was not inconsistent with lectures. For example, when Zhu Xi was in Jiangxi, he rebuilt the "Bailu Cave Academy" and personally formulated the rules that were famous in later generations:

"Father and son have relatives, monarch and minister have righteousness, husband and wife have different parts, old and young are orderly, and friends have faith."

"Learn from it, question it, think carefully, distinguish it clearly, and practice it with great sincerity."

"Talks and faithful words, be respectful in your actions, punish anger and desires, and change your mistakes."

"Just right your righteousness, do not seek profit, understand your way, do not consider your merits."

"Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. If you do not do anything to others, look for it in your own way."

When Lu Jiuyuan visited Zhu Xi, he had visited Bailu Cave Academy and was invited to give a famous speech at Bailu Cave Academy.

Now that I heard Mao Geng mention that he would establish academy in Kaohsiung, he said:

"It was a good story for Zhu Xi to rebuild Bailu Academy when he was in Nankang. He started a college here, and Lu taught in his spare time, which was a good story."

"Mr. Xiangshan once gave a speech at Bailudong Academy of "Discribing Righteousness and Profit", which was incisive and all the listeners were shocked and moved. I admire him deeply!"

Even Zhu Xi couldn't help but sigh at the praise of the "distinguishing between righteousness and profit" that Lu Jiuyuan said at Bailudong Academy. There was nothing exaggerated about what Mao Geng said.

"What people describe is what they are learning and what they are learning. If they are determined by their will, then what they are learning must be based on their meaning. If they are treated in righteousness, then what they are treated in righteousness will be based on their righteousness. If they are determined by profit, then what they are treated in profit will be based on their profit. Therefore, scholars must not be distinguished from the aspirations of scholars." This paragraph can be called a classic quote from the Lu family.

Interestingly, in Zhu Xi’s inscription on Lu Jiuyuan’s “Discribing righteousness and profit”, there was a special saying, “Any comrade I turn around and observe it deeply”, and I don’t know if the “comrades” in later generations came from here.

"Teacher Mao praised it! Mr. Lu just made some progress in his words as a saint."

When talking about the distinction between justice and profit, Mao Geng immediately thought that what he had been thinking about all day long was how to get the greatest benefit, which was ashamed! According to Lu Jiuyuan's standards, comrades were definitely not considered a villain. I wonder if he would be regarded as a villain by him.

"Mr. Xiangshan, I am talking about profit every day. I won't regard me as a villain, right?"

Lu Jiuyuan smiled and patted Mao Geng on the shoulder and said:

"Why did Chief Executive Mao say this? Although you always speak of profit, you will make the profit you have made, build hospitals, set up academies, and build military weapons. As the saying goes, take it from the people and use it for the people, this is a public heart and is in line with the way of the sages. What is great righteousness? This is great righteousness!"

This high hat is a bit too high, and Mao Geng is a little uncomfortable wearing it all at once, but it is better than being treated as a villain.

Hey! It seems that the establishment of a hospital was the first time Lu Jiuyuan did this when he knew the Jingmen Army. However, that was already 1192 years in history. Now Mao Geng has taken the lead. It should have been Lu Jiuyuan's initiative, but it turned out to be Mao Geng's first creation.

When he met the main master, Mao Geng felt guilty and quickly changed the topic, seized the "running academy" words in Lu Jiuyuan's words, and said casually:

"Mr. Xiangshan, so you agree with the establishment of the academy here, right?"

Lu Jiuyuan has always been a visitor to lectures, but he was still a little unsure about running a college in Kaohsiung and was worried that he would be blocked by the strait. Students of the Song Dynasty might not be willing to travel to Taiwan. It would be difficult to build a large-scale academy. However, Lu Jiuyuan immediately thought of another Zhu Xi in Fujian, and said:

"Telecom Chief Mao, Kaohsiung is separated from the mainland by a vast ocean. With Lu's reputation, students may not be able to come to the school. But there is a friend Zhu Xi, who is teaching at the Wuyi Jingshu at this moment, so Lu went to write a letter to see if Zhu Xi can come here to teach. If Zhu Xi can come, the great things will be together!"

Mao Geng thought to himself, if Zhu Xi came, the top educational resources in the Song Dynasty would take up all, haha! But at the same time, I am afraid that Zhu and Lu would argue about Neo-Confucianism and Mind Science every day, so there would be a good show. In addition to the dispute between Zhu and Lu, he could also occasionally mix it up. In this way, it would be enough to run a magazine called "Zhengming".

Mao Geng thought of his complacentness and couldn't help but smile. But he heard Lu Jiuyuan say:

"I heard that Zhu Xi has foot disease, but I don't know if he can come."

"Then, are you still writing to invite him?"

"Of course. But I think if the cannon test fire effect tomorrow, I don't think Zhu Xi would come and see it in person."

Mao Geng had to smile. When he thought that Chen Liang had written to Zhu Xi before, Lu Jiuyuan and Zhu Xi had a deep friendship, but Zhu Xi might be more willing to give Dapao face.

The two were talking, and a servant from the Duke's mansion came to pass the message, saying that the Duke had invited him.

Mao Geng thought to himself, what's wrong with Zhao Han? Is it because he is going to try to see the production of gunpowder again?

As soon as he arrived at the Duke's headquarters, Zhao Han said to Mao Geng:

"I have good news and bad news here. Which one should I listen to first?"

When he said this, Zhao Yan's face was filled with a sense of uncontrollability.

"Let's hear bad news first."

"The bad news is that the chain has dropped again, the bicycle chain has dropped, and the frame has almost been broken. In short, if your bicycle is broken, it may not be repaired for a while."

"Oh, what about the good news?", it was originally a prototype car that was made together. There were many imperfections. It was not surprising that it was broken, but it was strange that it was not broken.

"The good news is that Benju has learned to ride a bicycle."

When Zhao Yan said this, he looked excited. I wonder how many times he fell down before he learned it.

"Oh, congratulations to the Duke of the People!"

In fact, some people in Mao Geng learned to ride bicycles. Riding bicycles is not too difficult. After one person could ride them, everyone lost their fear, and suddenly there were many people scrambling to learn to ride bicycles. However, that bicycle was not much better. If you ride it for a while, you would have some problems and often lose your chains. However, the riders were all interested. As soon as the bicycle was fixed, someone would ride it up immediately.

"Please, can the bicycle you built be a little stronger?"

Zhao Han was at the age of being highly sensitive to new things. After becoming obsessed with shipbuilding, he discovered the wonders of bicycles and immediately became very interested in riding bicycles. However, just after learning how to do it, the bicycles were completely unable to ride.

"Duke, I'm sorry! This bicycle does have many shortcomings, but maybe in a year, the bicycle we built will not break easily."

When Lu Jiuyuan saw it, he remembered what Mao Geng said, "I should always forget to instill ideas in Zhao Han so that he should not rush to achieve success, so he smiled and said:

"Duke, riding a bicycle is a path. The official begged the Duke not to be addicted to the path. Besides, everything is difficult at the beginning, how can it be achieved overnight? There are many bicycle mechanisms, and there are inevitably many difficult things. As the saying goes, haste, the Duke may as well be more patient."

Seeing that Lu Jiuyuan was also helping Mao Geng speak, Zhao Han waved his hand and said:

"Well! Mr. Xiangshan said it well. As a Duke, you still have to care about major events like gunpowder and cannons, right?"

Lu Jiuyuan was happy and thought to himself that this emperor grandson had always been concerned about Mao Geng's military weapon production. Maybe he was so tired that he said seriously:

"Duke, this matter is not difficult. When the cannon is tested tomorrow, the duke will see the power of gunpowder on the cannon. As for the production of gunpowder, according to what the officials see, the duke should know the reason, but does not have to know the reason. Therefore, the duke will not worry about the production of gunpowder. He will have his own officials and Chief Executive Mao."

When Zhao Han heard this, he felt that what Lu Jiuyuan said was reasonable, so he no longer had the idea of ​​watching the gunpowder production in person.

After all, he was a great scholar of the Song Dynasty, and his influence was indeed extraordinary. Even Zhao Yan, the difficult-to-serve master, had to be convinced by him. Mao Geng thought so.

"The Duke of the State, the lower officials have another major event. The lower officials have an idea and want to establish a college here. Chief Executive Mao is very supportive of this. The lower officials will also write a letter to invite Zhu Xi to give lectures. The lower officials want to invite the Duke of the State to give lectures at that time. I wonder what the Duke of the State would like to give?"

Letting Zhao Han go to lecture was just to divert this gentleman's attention. But Lu Jiuyuan's words surprised Zhao Han and then smiled:

"Mr. Xiangshan, it is of course great to run a college. However, I remembered an interesting thing. I wondered whether we should promote Zhu Xi's "Neo-Confucianism" or Mr. Xiangshan's "Mind Learning"?"

Han Tuozhou also felt that if Zhu Lu came to run a college together, the dispute over Neo-Confucianism and mind studies would probably be inevitable. However, Han Tuozhou had no good impression of Zhu Xi. Zhu Xi always said that "destroying the principles of heaven and keeping human desires", but he took nuns as his concubine and even went to the market with a show of surprise. Han Tuozhou felt that Zhu Xi was really a hypocrite. Compared with the two, Lu Jiuyuan could be called a true gentleman.

As a result, the balance in Han Tuozhou's heart naturally leaned towards Lu Jiuyuan, so he firmly stood on the side of Lu Jiuyuan's heart, and then interrupted:

"According to my opinion, Mr. Xiangshan's 'heart learning' is very broad and has a high perspective. On the contrary, Zhu Xi's learning is really suspected of false Taoism, and it is not as good as Mr. Xiangshan's 'heart learning'!"

Mao Geng watched coldly, knowing that Han Tuozhou had committed the "Qingyuan Party Ban" in history. When he was autocratic, the Song Dynasty officials completely denied Zhu Xi's theory, denounced Zhu Xi's "Neo-Confucianism" as "pseudo-school", and classified Zhu Xi's disciples and scholars who believed in Zhu as "rebels". Han Tuozhou was expected to overthrow Lu and demote Zhu. As for whether Zhu Xi had a nun as a concubine, this gossip was not the first time he had heard of it, but there were neither nude photos nor videos, and I don't know if it was true.

Han Tuozhou defeated Lu and demoted Zhu, but Zhao Yan felt that Zhu Xue actually made a lot of sense, and the emperor's grandfather praised Zhu Xi more. However, this is not the key. The key is that if Zhu Xi also came to Kaohsiung and Zhu Lu had a scholarly dispute, there would be some good shows. That's not all, Zhao Yan glanced at Mao Geng, and from Mao Geng, he could hear some unique ideas from time to time. Well, the two families had a wonderful controversy, but if they were three, they would definitely have good shows. Haha, it's worth looking forward to.

"There are Mr. Xiangshan's 'Study' and Zhu Xi's 'Neo-Confucianism'. Lu Xue and Zhu Xue can be said to have their own advantages. However, as far as I know, Mao Geng's 'Mao Xue' seems to have different differences. I don't know whether Lu Xue, Zhu Xue and Mao Xue can learn from each other's strengths or only compete for their strengths in the end, so I have to wait and see."

When Lu Jiuyuan heard this, he found that Mao Geng had his own set of his own theories, but he knew nothing in advance. In addition to being surprised, Lu Jiuyuan felt strangely excited, just like a lonely martial arts master in Dugu Qiubai, who met an opponent who was ignorant of his profoundness. He hoped that the opponent he met would be best to be as good as a rookie.

"I didn't expect Chief Executive Mao would be hiding it in depth, so I would like to ask for advice another day."

"I dare not take it!"

Mao Geng said he didn't dare to take it, but he was thinking in his heart that when should he talk to Lu Jiuyuan about the study of the universe. In later generations, he could only be considered a half-baked philosopher, and he was just half a bucket of water. He was really embarrassed to run to the Song Dynasty to show off.
