"But we all read scriptures every day, so how can we understand these things!"

"That's it, that's it..."

"The Han Dynasty ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. Is it possible that all the scriptures and principles of benevolence and filial piety are useless today?"

"Sad, alas..."

Pei Mao has actually been thinking about this issue.

Just like if Lao Tzu is a hero, most people will think that his son must be a good man. Pei Mao once believed that since the classics are passed down to the family and the country is governed by benevolence and filial piety, as long as his children study well, know the latitude and longitude, and then boast, they will be famous.

When you mature, you can naturally serve as a high official...

But after Pei Mao discovered that his children's experiences in the riding place were completely different, he suddenly realized that if he acted according to his previous ideas, the results would be completely unequal.

Take the two people who served under the Pei family as an example. One of them, Pei Jun, is a side branch. His attainments in scriptures are naturally not what Pei likes. But now, Pei Jun is obviously better developed than Pei Xi. Is this the case?

Does this mean that the scriptures are useless?

Obviously not.

So what exactly is the problem?

In fact, there were some answers hidden in Pei Mao's previous words, but he hadn't discovered them yet.

In the Han Dynasty, when the power of family education was obviously greater than social education, a good father's children would naturally be more likely to receive a good inheritance. This is also the origin of the so-called "general family has no dogs".

But in reality, rote memorization is undoubtedly the simplest inheritance, and knowing how to apply it flexibly is the key. Otherwise, there would be no allusions to the Zhao family's talk on paper.

Hongnong Yang, if he is knowledgeable about classics, he can be regarded as the best in Shanxi. If he is smart, he is also among the best among his peers. But why is he alone in charge of the land of Sili and still in embarrassment as the order of Luoyang?

, difficult to develop?

Pei Mao gave an example and said that if he was willing to start from the grassroots level like the Wang family of Taiyuan and Sima of Wen County, Pei Mao would naturally be obliged to recommend it to General Hussar. If he wanted to get a high-level position as soon as he came up, then

Whatever he is good at, Pei Mao is not shy about finding ways to do it, but if he only knows how to read a few lines of scripture and wants to get good treatment...

When everyone saw that this was indeed the case, they couldn't blame Pei Mao for not recommending him. They felt somewhat dismayed at the end and dispersed after making some exaggerated remarks.

Even though Pei Mao was angry in his heart, he still had a smile on his face. He asked his junior Pei Ji to send him off. He stood outside the hall and waited for everyone to leave before returning to the hall to sit down and meditate.

stand up.

Not long after, Pei Ji came back and reported: "Father, we have all sent him away..."

Pei Mao nodded, pointed to the side, "Sit."

There was silence in the hall. A gentle wind blew by, lifting the gauze curtains and rustling.

"This matter..." Pei Mao turned around and asked Pei Ji, "What do Ji'er think?"

"It is really abominable for greedy and ignorant people to coerce the public and coerce their father," Pei Ji said.

Pei Mao nodded, then shook his head and said, "You're not bad at what you say... But if you have to change places for your father, I'm afraid this is the only way..."

"Why?" Pei Ji asked in surprise.

"Let alone the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Sima of Wen County..." Pei Mao sighed, "Just talking about the Yang family of Hongnong, now even the Luoyang order... alas..."

Pei Mao sighed. If Pei Mao knew the term "involution" in later generations, he would not sigh like this. In fact, involution means supply exceeds demand. For example, banks in later generations originally recruited technical secondary school students, and then they became

As a junior college student, and later as an undergraduate, you need a graduate student to start, and then what are you recruiting graduate students to do? Count banknotes at the counter. Could it be that the boss of the bank thinks that the banknotes counted by graduate students are more fragrant and more accurate than those of technical secondary school students?

Actually, that’s not the case. It was the bank bosses who discovered that they could recruit more senior people at lower prices, so why not do this?

"Involution" is a necessity of social development and a change in the relationship between supply and demand. It is not based on the will of a certain person or a certain group of people.

Just like the current Han Dynasty, whether on Fei Qian's side or Cao Cao's side, people who know some scriptures are no longer a scarce commodity. Now there is a greater need for talents who are good at strategy or proficient in military affairs.

"...I think about it, in the past there was a king of Zhao who rode and shot in barbarian clothes...Now the Han Dynasty is in turmoil..." Pei Mao looked at Pei Ji and said, "If my father finds you some barbarians...learn more."

The art of riding and shooting, the art of military service, are you willing to do it?"

"Barbarian?" Pei Ji was stunned, "Uh... I'm willing to obey my father's arrangements..."

Pei Mao nodded and sighed again, "Soldiers are also murderers, alas...But the Pei family, from top to bottom, mostly practiced martial arts and rarely practiced martial arts, so...if Ji'er is successful in learning martial arts, even if he does not fight on the battlefield,

You can also keep your hometown safe... But the art of riding and shooting, and the way of military service, require physical training and a lot of hard work... As a father, as a father..."

"The child is willing to share his father's worries!"

"Hey... forget it! Tomorrow I will become a father and go look for an expert in riding and archery!"

When the storm of Qinglong Temple's lectures arose, when all bachelors of agriculture and engineering took over the grassroots positions, and when the Sima of the Wang family in Taiyuan and Wen County had to lower their heads to look at lower-level positions, the Shanxi gentry

The "involution" between the disciples also gradually exerted its power.
