358 North Sea Kong Rong 2
After hearing the words of Lu Ning and Lu Su, Guoyuan thought for a while and felt that the legend outside was probably too heavy. Will a person as good as a disaster victim and a refugee be a vicious person? After thinking through everything, Guoyuan said, "Then follow the arrangements of the adults."
Lu Ning was also very happy that Guoyuan was able to come out to work for Lu Ning. After all, he was a figure representing the Confucian School. With his participation, it would reduce a lot of resistance for others. Lu Ning said to Cui Lin: "Mr. Deru, I heard that there is a copper mine in Mouping, there is a gold mine near Qucheng and Zhuang County. You can arrange for people to explore it. If you find it, you will organize people to mine it. For the mining of the mine, let the army guard it at that time."
Cui Lin was even more depressed after hearing this. I have been here for so long, why haven’t I heard of any gold or copper mines in these places? But he still said: “Who did you hear from the lord? We have never heard of this. If anything, it would have been mined by those big families long ago. You wouldn’t be wrong.”
Is this wrong? This is a large gold mine in later generations. Its output is so large that it is also famous in the country. Lu Ning smiled and said, "Der Ru, you can just arrange for manpower to explore it. I heard that the gold mine is a very large mining area and its storage capacity is very large."
After hearing this, Cui Lin said, "Lord, then I'll arrange for people to explore."
Guoyuan thought for a while and said, "Sir, although you are in charge of Donglai now, according to the affiliation, it should be the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Governor Tian Kai. He is now jealous. Seeing Donglai's prosperity day by day, his wealth is one of the best in Qingzhou now. It is completely different from Donglai, who was poor and backward in the past. Tian Kai has sent several waves of people to take over. I wonder what the adults want to deal with this matter?"
After hearing this, Lu Su laughed and said to Guoyuan: "Mr. Zini, Donglai was originally an unmanaged place, and also a poor and backward place. We were thrown by Kong Beihai to us to resettle the victims and refugees. Now that Donglai's economy is getting better, he Tian Kai wants to accept it. There is such a cheap thing in the world. Will our army be afraid that Tian Kai will not succeed?"
Lu Ning also smiled and said, "Mr. Zini, Tian Kai can accept Donglai, so he can place me in the disaster victims and the refugees' money. If he dares to do anything randomly, I will accept him in Qingzhou. Is he capable of Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, and Gongsun Zan? Can he be stronger than the cavalry of the Xiongnu and Xianbei? In my eyes, Tian Kai is an incompetent person, a corrupt official. What else can he do besides bullying the people? Don't be afraid of him."
Cui Lin glanced at Lu Ning, thought for a while before saying, "Lord, since Donglai is the territory given to us by Kong Beihai, will the lord visit Kong Daru this time? Kong Daru is also a good official who loves the people as much as his son. Compared with other princes, he should be considered a good official. Although he has not resettled victims or refugees, in this chaotic era, it would be very good for refugees to be able to put a few big pots to help the victims like him."
When Lu Ning heard this, did you force me to see Kong Rong? Lu Ning didn't want to go, but now you all said that, can Lu Ning not go? Of course, after Lu Ning went, it should be beneficial to your future work. Since you are so enthusiastic, why would Lu Ning go to see him? Besides, Kong Rong apologizes for Lu Ning's favor. Lu Ning looked up at everyone, and seeing that they all had this intention, Lu Ning said, "Then I will take the time to visit Kong Wenju."
A few days later, Lu Ning took his subordinates to Beihai to visit Kong Rong. Although they met during the Great Alliance of Princes, they had no close friends or contacts. The great scholars of the times looked down on Lu Ning, a person who was born in poverty and could not recognize a single word. They all regarded Lu Ning as a grassroots hero. Kong Rong was full of knowledge and was the descendant of Confucius' twenty-generation descendant. Since ancient times, the allusion of Kong Rong giving away pears is circulated, which is about Kong Rong himself. It can be imagined that Kong Rong is indeed a virtuous gentleman. Of course, he is also a representative figure of Confucianism and a great scholar of the times.
When Kong Rong heard that after Lu Ning came, he personally brought his subordinates out to greet Lu Ning and his party. This was mainly because Lu Ning's army had rescued the danger of Beihai for him. He did this out of politeness. Otherwise, with his name as Kong Rong, someone like Lu Ning who could not write or martial arts, and could not read a big character, would not be so polite. After all, Lu Ning's impression of them among the Confucians was too bad.
After everyone saw the gift, Kong Rong first expressed his gratitude to Lu Ning for his rescue. Lu Ning politely asked him and asked his subordinates to give him gifts. This was an indispensable thing when visiting others in ancient times. Kong Rong took it away after he was a little polite. Then he sat down, Guoyuan, Cui Lin and Lu Su, under Lu Ning, discussed Confucian classics with him, and Lu Ning did listen to their arguments. Lu Ning himself felt too bored. Such arguments had no value and were meaningless.
Later, Kong Rong saw that there was a book among the gifts given to him by Lu Ning. He was a great scholar who loved books as much as his life. He immediately picked it up and watched it. Lu Ning knew that it was the "Chinese Dictionary" written by Guan Ning and others. Kong Rong first saw that the editor-in-chief was Guan Ning, deputy editor-in-chief Cai Yong, and a lot of editors' names, but when he saw that the inventor was Lu Ning's name, Kong Rong could not imagine. How could this be possible? When Kong Rong continued to read it, he found that this dictionary was too unimaginable. With such a thing, the future
It is much more convenient for scholars, and they also helped scholars solve the problem of pronunciation of Chinese characters. For characters that cannot be written, they can also be found through this dictionary. This shocked Kong Rong. He never dreamed that there was such a way to pronounce Chinese characters in the world, and he also wrote books. What surprised him the most was of course the inventor was Lu Ning's name, which made him really unable to believe that this was true, but this was written by Guan Ning and others, so there was definitely no mistake. Kong Rong was very clear about who Guan Ning was.
Kong Rong looked up at Lu Ning, but still couldn't believe the facts in front of him. He asked: "Mr. Lu, you really mentioned that you invented this book."
When Lu Ning heard this, his grandmother, what's the point? Is this worth making a fuss? If this was done in later generations, the first graders of elementary school were all familiar with each other. Of course, this was not invented by Lu Ning. Lu Ning had this ability. "Kong Daru, this was written by You'an and the others. I haven't done anything, but they insisted on getting my name, and I blushed myself. Such a huge work can be created by someone who doesn't know big words. This is all the credit of You'an and the others, and it has nothing to do with me."
After hearing Lu Ning's words, Kong Rong breathed a sigh of relief, but said: "You'an and others are really great scholars. I'm not as many as them. It is indeed a blessing for the Han people and a blessing for the scholars in the world to come up with such a method."
Are you talking about me? Lu Ning is so great that it was made by later generations, and Lu Ning himself really couldn't explain it clearly, and of course he couldn't explain it. How can he explain it?
Lu Su next to him said, "Kong Daru, this "Chinese Dictionary" was indeed invented by my lord. Guan Daxian only wrote it under the guidance of my lord."
When Lu Ning heard this, isn’t your Zijing causing trouble? Is it necessary to fight for such a false reputation? Besides, it was not invented by Lu Ning. Lu Ning glared at Lu Su with his eyes. After hearing Lu Su’s words, Kong Rong was stunned again. How could this be possible? Isn’t this a joke? But Lu Su’s words made him know that this is the real thing. This masterpiece was indeed the method that Lu Fu thought of in front of him. Kong Rong was stunned for a moment and immediately stood up and bowed to Lu Ning ninety degrees and gave a big gift: “Mr. Lu is really a genius in the mining world. I can think of such an incredible method, which makes me deeply admire.”
Of course, Lu Ning didn't dare to be arrogant, so he quickly stood up and gave gifts to Kong Rong. Now, the officials under Kong Rong, who were originally disdainful of Lu Ning, immediately stood up to salute Lu Ning, which made Lu Ning not live. Lu Ning didn't like to bend down, but now he had no choice but to bend down to them one by one to return gifts. This is really fatal. Of course, the attitude of Kong Rong's scholars towards Lu Ning has also changed fundamentally.
Of course, Kong Rong was the happiest person. After he got this dictionary, he felt like he was very treasured. He thanked Lu Ning. Lu Ning was thinking in his heart that his grandmother's name was not as useful as sending him a book. He was such a nerd who was good at books. It seemed that if he wanted to deal with a scholar in the future, it would be better to give him a "Chinese Dictionary" first and then do it. Even the great scholars of the world looked like this bird, so it would be easier for ordinary scholars to deal with it.
Next, I explained the usage and functions of the Chinese Dictionary to Kong Rong and others. Of course, I also told Kong Rong that this dictionary only collects more than 20,000 Chinese characters. If you want to collect them all and write them, it will probably take Guan Ning and others to do it in some years. The workload is too great. Now, dozens of writers are specializing in this area every day, and we have too many Chinese characters in the Han ethnic group.
Kong Rong was thinking while asking for advice humbly. The more he went, the more he discovered the benefits of this dictionary. Suddenly, Kong Rong said to Lu Ning: "Mr. Lu, the tip of the characters in this dictionary should be from Cai Boyi, but they don't look like Cai Boyi's handwritten. What's going on? Why do I look at something that is a bit inconsistent?"
After hearing this, Lu Ning burst into laughter and then said, "Kong Daru, this is Mr. Cai's handwriting, but it was not written by Mr. Cai. Ma Deheng, my subordinate, invented a movable type printing technique that can print out thousands of copies without any effort. If it is copied by people, that person will not copy many copies in his life. If all Chinese characters are written, it will be even more difficult. Now this book is sold everywhere in my jurisdiction."
Kong Rong nodded while listening, and didn't know what he was not sure about. Of course, he couldn't imagine what movable type printing technology was. He was thinking about the legendary Lu Ning took the lead in doing strange and lustful skills in Bingzhou. It seemed that this matter was true. Kong Rong looked at Lu Ning and said, "Sir Lü, there are many talented people in your jurisdiction, but I still want to persuade the adults to read it. It's better to do less strange and lustful skills. This is not good for the adults' reputation."
When Lu Ning heard this, he was a little angry at first. I gave you something to you, and you came to beat me up, but when I thought about it, the old man also made a good intention. If it was someone else's words, he would not remind Lu Ning. But his argument was too pedantic, but Lu Ning still said to Kong Rong: "Thank you for your concern. I know how to do it. Besides, it is not a bad thing to do with strange and lustful skills. If we all leave strange and lustful skills, then I wonder how we all survive? What we eat, live, and use, that's the same.
Were they all made by craftsmen? If we didn’t have the hard work of these craftsmen, would there be pens, ink, and paper for us to use? Do we have a house to live in? Can we have a car to ride? Besides, Kong Daru, your ancestor Confucius, also did farm work, worked, and traveled around the world. Why do we all look down on craftsmen now? This is wrong. Didn’t you say that everyone is equal before the law? Those scholars, craftsmen, and farmers are just different in social division of labor, and there is no distinction between high and low."
Lu Ning's words made Kong Rong and his officials unable to accept them. Kong Rong was even more angry and said to Lu Ning: "Mr. Lu, why do you say that my ancestor, Saint Kong, had done farm work and worked as a craftsman? Are you messing around?"
Lu Ning saw Kong Rong's angry look, laughed out loud, and said to him: "Why do you have any evidence that your ancestor Confucius, Saint Kong, had never done these things? Who is the teacher of Saint Kong? Where did his Confucian classics come from? Besides, how many of these Confucian classics are truly from the hands of Saint Kong?"
Kong Rong was stopped by Lu Ning's question. Lu Ning had seen many research results on Confucius online in later generations. Later generations' research on Confucius was not what you imagined, and the depth of his research is indescribable. Although some research results are not very convincing, it will still be impossible to scare you if you want to.
Kong Rong said angrily: "I don't know the ancestors' inheritance. I only know that those classic works are all from ancestors. Do you know that Lord Lv?" People who don't know a word about you come to talk to me, Confucius' descendants. Isn't that overestimating your ability? Besides, my ancestors are also something you, a reckless person, know.
Kong Rong raised his proud head again and waited for Lu Ning to answer, but Lu Ning smiled and said, "Does Kong Daru really don't know the teacher of your ancestor Kong Sheng? Then let me tell you, Confucius's teacher is in the fields, he went to a social university, his Confucian classics all come from society, and they were summarized in the historical context at that time. He is indeed the ancestor of our Han national culture, and his achievements are also a role model for our descendants, but his theory is indeed
What is summarized in production and life, especially the three-person walk, must have a teacher. That is too classic. From this sentence, we infer that even farmers and craftsmen have something worthy of our study and respect. Since it is something that Saint Confucius recognized, why do we still oppose the use of strange and lewd skills? Since many of the theories of Saint Confucius were also summarized in the daily production and life of farmers and craftsmen, why should we look down on craftsmen and farmers?"
Lu Ning's nonsense made Kong Rong and the people present speechless. They really had no way to refute Lu Ning's nonsense. Besides, everyone knows how many things written by Confucius by himself were still alive after hundreds of years? Not all these are created by later generations now, especially Dong Zhongshu of the Wu Emperor era, in order to cater to Emperor Wu's taste, he changed Confucian classics beyond recognition. How many God knows that really came from the mouth of the Saint Confucius.
When Lu Su saw how he talked about Confucius, could this make Kong Rong surrender, he immediately said: "Lord, we are here to ask Confucius Daru, how could he talk about the saints? I don't need to discuss this issue."
When Lu Ning heard this, he immediately stopped. Of course, Kong Rong also stopped discussing this issue. Is the atmosphere suitable? Then he talked randomly for a while, and Kong Rong asked Lu Ning to have a meal with everyone. After staying in Beihai for one night, Lu Ning said goodbye to Kong Rong and left. Besides, Lu Ning couldn't reach an agreement with these pedantic scholars of the times. They had no common language and concepts, and it was very awkward to talk together, and they couldn't even say anything.
