“Something was wrong?”

Fei Qian asked in confusion.

Outside Chang'an City, heavy snow was flying. Jingwei and Weihai were not completely clear. Many things have not yet been concluded.

"Yes, the general was wrong..."

Zheng Xuan said it was very certain, just as he was saying that the sun rose from the east and set from the west.

Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "Since you are talking about it, don't be the general or the general. I'm just a latecomer. Mr. Zheng might as well say bluntly. Where is the mistake of someone?"

Jing River gurgles.

The snowflakes fell on the water surface. At the moment of contact, it seemed to have such a short pause, and then disappeared. The elf who was still flying lightly in the last second, and the dancer who was running away the next second, without any traces of transformation.

Above the red mud stove, the water was boiling and it was gurgling.

Huang Xu stepped forward, took the kettle, and placed it beside Fei Qian.

Fei Qian picked up the kettle, hot the tea bowl a little, and then brewed the tea.

Zheng Xuan looked quietly and did not express his opinion immediately. No matter what, it is always a pleasant thing to drink the tea soup made by General Cavalry.

The tea is transparent and clear. Although the Han Dynasty's green stir-frying technology has not yet reached the level of refinement to every temperature and every second in later generations, it is completely different from the original Han Dynasty's tea bricks. In the tea soup, only the taste of the tea itself and the original taste are left.

"Good tea..." Zheng Xuan exclaimed and shook his eyebrows. In the cold winter, after a mouthful of hot tea, the fragrance filled his mouth and nose, and warmed his stomach and intestines. It was so pleasant.

Fei Qian nodded. In fact, the tea used by Fei Qian is not something that is priced even by gold, it is just that it is sealed better. After all, tea is too easy to taste, and it tastes like wherever it is placed. If it is placed in smelly socks, it will definitely be a smell of salted fish.

The so-called "those close to red and those close to ink" are black, and tea leaves are the best.

It is so difficult to pursue your original intention, only the pure tea can reward your dry intestines.

After three rounds of wine, my tongue became numb. Before my brain was completely numb, I should say anything. If I don’t say it, I’m afraid someone will pretend to be drunk. After three brews of tea, it will fade, and the bitterness will come out, just like life, under the fragrance, it will be depressed.

"General..." Zheng Xuan put down the tea bowl and his eyes remained on the tea soup. "The things in the world are like tea wine... The beauty of tea lies in lightness, long aftertaste, calm mind, clear and rational, and the beauty of wine lies in strongness, passion, intoxication, and refreshing... Now the general insists on making wine into tea, isn't this a big mistake?"

Fei Qian rubbed the beard on his chin and said, "Please say more."

Tea and wine, chrysanthemum and knife. Zheng Xuan's metaphor is quite interesting.

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, Kong Zhongni has no distinction... It is like a clear tea. It can be picked in the wild and can be seen with insight..." Zheng Xuan smiled, pointed to the tea bowl, and then said, "However, the doctor became an official and became wine, which was stored in the cellar, becoming more mellow..."

"Doctor?" Fei Qian frowned slightly, then began to think deeply.

Zheng Xuan's words are actually very simple, and they also point directly to the essence of the problem, which is interests.

In the face of interests, all dreams, feelings, and visions are all haha. Human nature and morality do not exist in the interest system. Even if you wear it, you can still see the miscellaneous mouth below.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, why could Confucius achieve teaching without distinction? The more he went, the harder it became? The scalp was not itchy for generations, nor was it cool for a while, and it continued for generations. There was even something he could not bear the infamy, just to win the smile of foreigners, and to present the senior intellectuals who were the elders and young girls in their hometowns with both hands...

In the final analysis, it is all two words, "interest".

Therefore, when encountering things, don’t arrange your position first, but first sort out the interests in your head so that you can see clearly. As for whether you can see the truth, it depends on where the specific status and class is.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all official positions were arranged according to their talents. Take a chestnut to chew. Zhang Yi was "scattered and beaten hundreds" by the prime minister of Chu. His wife said, "Hey! I don't study and lobby, how can I get this humiliation?" Zhang Yi said to his wife, "Does my tongue still exist?" His wife laughed and said, "The tongue is there." Yi said, "It's enough."

Is there any talented person in Zhang Yi, or is there anyone who is about the same level as Zhang Yi? Many, but the reason why Zhang Yi became Zhang Yi is not because of talented person, but because Zhang Yi is good at speaking...

From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the proportion of talent being reused is much greater than that because of talent being reused, so overall the talent being reused determines the level of the position, and then the position of "Doctor" was born...

The doctor was first found in the Warring States Period. He was responsible for keeping documents and archives, compiling works, mastering ancient and modern times, imparting knowledge, and cultivating talents. Seventy people in the Qin State were named doctors. Later, it was established in the early Han Dynasty, with a rank of 600 stones, which belonged to Fengchang. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, a doctorate of the Five Classics was established, and the doctor became an academic official who specialized in teaching Confucian classics.

From then on, the standard of taking academic as an official rather than talent as an official appeared in the control system for the first time.

There seems to be no difference between these two standards. After all, being able to read and read can be considered a talent, but the problem is that IQ does not equal emotional intelligence...

The above is the first issue that Zheng Xuan mentioned.

The second aspect is the issue of openness and private hiding.

Just like what Zheng Xuan said about tea and wine.

Tea was not called "tea" at the beginning, but was replaced by many different names, such as "Ming, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, etc. The word "嗠" first appeared in books such as "Book of Songs" and "Erya", which means bitter plant leaves. Under the head of the word "嗠, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无, 无,

This is also explained in the legend. Shennong ate all herbs, then became poisoned, and encountered tea, so he solved it.

This shows that the origin of tea is not artificially cultivated, but something naturally produced. It is just that people meet it and then mark it down...

But wine is different.

If you want to get wine, you must hide it.

If exposed to the air, it will either turn into vinegar, mold or rot, and become a carnival place for a bunch of microbial molds.

Therefore, the form of tea is more like the accumulation of knowledge in ancient times, while the posture of wine is like the current Han Dynasty knowledge model.

"Mr. Zheng's words are good..." Fei Qian nodded, then looked at Zheng Xuan and said, "But...Mr. Zheng thought, is this tea or wine?"

Zheng Xuan smiled, "Tea is good, wine is better!"

Fei Qian laughed and said, "I hope to hear it carefully."

"The general's tea is clear and clear, and it is certainly a rare thing... However, in the mountains, there are also flowers that enter tea, wood that enter tea, and fruit that enter tea, all of which are the names of tea, which are confused and do not know the true or false..." Zheng Xuan said slowly, "Wine is not the case. Vessels, millet, water, and music are all seeking perfection, so that they can get good wine, and discard dregs and leave only the nectar..."

Fei Qian rubbed the beard on his chin back and forth with the back of his two fingers.

Zheng Xuan’s statement also has some truth, but this truth is actually not very reliable.

Although it has been so long in the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian began to grow a beard like most Han people, but Fei Qian still did not develop the habit of taking care of his beard very carefully, let alone like Guan Erye. He had to wear shorts and bellybands for his beard when he went out. Basically, he allowed the beard to grow freely. Even when touching his beard with his hands, he was very casual. Rubbing and rubbing was a basic operation. For example, many literati and poets touching his beard in a flower-tip pattern, which was completely invisible to Fei Qian.

A beard is just a beard. A beard is a symbol of maleness, but not the other way around, a beard is a man.

Zheng Xuan's words are like saying that his beard is a male, and his logic is slightly reversed.

Just like the famous saying in later generations, "Take the essence and discard the dross", it seems that everyone has heard and understood it, but in fact the focus of this sentence is not to argue with others about what "essence" and what "dross" is, nor does it mean that how much should be "taken" and how much should be "discarded". But it should be that after knowing such a method, there must be such a process.

Just like eating, steak is a kind of food, and corn cakes are also a kind of food, but it cannot be said that steak is the essence, corn cakes are the dregs, or if you see that because steak is expensive, you are picky about food and reject other types of food. Feeling the food, eating, absorbing nutrients, and then expelling the residue is a complete process.

What matters is the process of eating, not standing aside to comment on the standards.

Support and comments stuck in verbal form cannot be filled.

Because the standards of others are ultimately the standards of others, just like some people are allergic to peanuts, some are allergic to shrimp, etc., their physical constitutions are different, so the so-called essence and dross are naturally different.

"It is good at raising silkworms in Sichuan and Sichuan..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Zheng has seen it?"

"Silkworm?" Zheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I have heard of it a little..."

Fei Qian nodded and said, "It is best to feed silkworms. If you feed mulberry trees, the silk is white and long, which is the best choice for making brocade. If it is mixed leaves, the silk will be yellow and gray, which is easy to break, and the quality is not good... However, there are many silkworms and few leaves, and there is still enough picking... I wonder if Mr. Zheng, at this time, should we eat silkworms or feed miscellaneous leaves?"

Zheng Xuan frowned.

Silkworms are very interesting because what traps silkworms is not anything else, but the mulberry leaves chosen by the silkworms themselves and the silk they spit themselves.

Just like the current aristocratic family.

Those silks are what the aristocrats choose and master, and then vomit them on themselves...

Fei Qian once heard a theory called "Information Cocoon". Knowledge, in a sense, is also a kind of information. In ancient times, people retained information in words or pictures. When future generations understand it, it is a process of transmission of information.

When receiving information, ordinary people will habitually choose to believe in the information they are willing to believe. This choice is subconscious and will intuitively affect the next move, such as those various idol fans. All idols are human beings, and if they are human beings, they will have advantages and disadvantages. This is common sense, but idol fans reject common sense and only look at what they are willing to see, and only accept information they are willing to accept.

Some people may say that idol fans are relatively old and have immature thinking, but it turns out that everyone is the same, more or less, and the typical manifestation is the "Cambridge Analysis" incident.

Although Cambridge Analytica went bankrupt later, the various gods who followed quickly discovered the business opportunities and even fatal weapons...

From a physical perspective, information is also a kind of entropy. Uncluttered information has no value because it is disordered, but after being processed by big data, it becomes an orderly existence, which has great value.

Just like during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, knowledge was chaotic, and there were hundreds of schools of thought, but after intentional or unintentional arrangement between the Qin and Han Dynasties, the chaotic sources of information gathered and became an orderly existence.

Then you can control everything, even from generation to generation.

When all the information around a person is controlled and deliberately screened and pushed, all the information that the person comes into contact with will be what "someone" wants to let the person see, and they are pushed out specifically. This person feels convenient and feels that it is what he wants to hear and what he wants. Over time, he becomes more and more lazy to think, and then entrusts his brain to the party who pushes the information...

This was not something that happened in later generations. As early as the Han Dynasty, these aristocratic families had already done this.

Confucius established himself as a mortal as he walked to the altar in the process of continuous push of information. The status of the Five Classics and Four Books was also generated by the continuous shrinkage of the information cocoon. There were fewer and fewer wild tea, and naturally more canned wine...

Of course, the prerequisite for doing this is to converge all the words, master all the right to speak, control the export of all the world's information, so that everything you see, hear, and everything you see can reach the audience only if you meet the push standards.

Confucianism did a great job in this regard in the subsequent feudal dynasties.

Imagine that those children who are not yet mature in a relatively closed environment have been specially selected and pushed, and are surrounded by the whole family over time. Over time, how many people will realize this problem? I realize it and are willing to make changes?

And the first silk in this information cocoon was actually produced in the Han Dynasty...

"Luo Fu likes silkworms and picks mulberry trees in the south corner of the city..." Fei Qian continued, "Duke Zheng knew that only when there were silkworms, they could know how good mulberry leaves were, or when there were mulberry trees, they could get the wonder of silk?"

Zheng Xuan was silent for a long time, and then said, "The general insisted on doing this, and he would definitely destroy millions of wine cellars... Are you afraid that... there is no wine to drink at that time?"

Fei Qian laughed.

"Someone drinks tea."
