Xu You shook his head reservedly and said, "I'm just chatting with my friends. How can I understand something? I just saw that it is facing the south, with deep water and deep water, which is the most likely place to accumulate and is also the most likely place to build fields, so I said a few more words, my father-in-law doesn't have to care."

"It's a lot different from ordinary people with this kind of experience."

The old man's eyes were like candlelight in the dark night, not necessarily so bright, but for some reason, it always made people feel nervous and uneasy, and they couldn't help but bow their heads and listen to the teachings.

Xu You looked calm and unmoved at all, but he knew in his heart that this person was not an ordinary person. He smiled and said, "From north to east, from West Lake to the mouth of the river, all the land obtained through the construction of the pond. Any older villagers know this and they are not very knowledgeable..."

The old man heard that Xu You was unwilling to talk more, so he didn't force him. He changed the topic and said, "West Lake?"

"Oh, that is, Qiantang Lake before."

Since the emergence of the White Snake, although the government has not changed its name seriously, the people have spontaneously called Qiantang Lake West Lake, which has attracted many literati to write poems after traveling and secretly want to compete with the poem "Spring Travel of Qiantang Lake". It's a pity that so far, no poem that can be compared has been released.

Xu You asked back: "Is my father-in-law from another place?"

The old man nodded, did not hide it, and said, "I came from Jinling and just arrived in Wujun. I heard that Qiantang is beautiful and came to take a look."

"Jinling? I didn't even hear my father-in-law have a Jinling accent."

Xu You immediately became calculating. The big man from Jinling at this time... He should really ask Gu Yun, which imperial envoy sent by An Zidao to remove Liu Quan from the position of Yangzhou Governor.

The old man looked at Xu You with interest and said, "Have you been to Jinling?"

"I haven't been there much, but Jinling Yayan is impressed by everyone who has heard of it."

The old man laughed and said, "Now everyone is proud of saying that Luoyang is righteous. It is rare that anyone knows the elegant language of Jinling. The man is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He must be a famous scholar in Qiantang County. Can you give him a name?"

Xu You smiled humbly and said, "I am from a poor family and a member of the people of the country. How dare I be called a famous scholar?"

The old man looked at him and said, "Looking at the demeanor of the man, even if he is not a famous scholar now, he will be famous all over the world in the future."

"Famous is better than the world!" The general meaning of this sentence is to say, what does it mean to be famous all over the world? I'd better forget it. Xu You is in a suspicious place and will not make people famous, not to mention that the old man obviously has a great background.

The old man was surprised and said, "In "Guanzi", Yangzhou is indeed an important town of Tianshidao. Anyone who meets anyone is so familiar with Taoist classics!"

Xu You frowned slightly, and he knew the little thing. The old man's seemingly unintentional words represent An Zidao's dissatisfaction and caution towards Yangzhou and Tianshidao.

This time it was Zuo Qi's turn to be puzzled and said, "Isn't Guan Zi the Prime Minister of Qi? How did he become a Taoist person when he assisted Duke Huan of Qi to become the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"Ban Gu compiled the "Ten Records of Han Shu" and listed "Guan Zi" in the Taoist school of Zibu. Although it is not very similar to the theory of the Taoist school of the Tianshi Dao, it is barely considered a Taoist lineage. Therefore, later generations often say that Guan Zi was a Taoist schoolmaster. In fact, Ban Gu did not grasp the essence of Guan Zi's thoughts. Although he was influenced by Taoism, he still mainly focused on the Legalists in his bones."

Xu You was explaining it to Zuo Qi, and answering the old man's questions. He knew Guanzi because he had read the Tenth Book of Han, and had nothing to do with Tianshidao.

The old man's eyes lit up, as if he was a little surprised. He deliberately studied him and said, "Your husband is such a bad word. Guanzi advocates the art of facing the south of the king. It is the dregs of Huang Laodao of Jixia Academy. Why did he involve the Legalists again?"

The so-called "ruler's skills to face the south" must be based on the foundation, be pure and self-restrained, and be humble and weak. In short, it is to teach people how to engage in politics. It is a satirical statement to Huang Laodao, a branch of Taoism. Xu You had a headache. When traveling to this era, the most unbearable thing is not the absence of TV, mobile phones, or Internet, but the simple talk that may happen anytime and anywhere. The content of the talk is strange and all-encompassing, and it is not for the purpose of winning or losing. It is just to sharpen your mouth, which is the mysterious and mysterious pursuit of celebrities.

"The Legalists were originally a school that was born from Taoism. Not only the Legalists, but other schools were also more or less influenced by Taoism. For example, Han Fei was an important figure in the Legalists. He could write two articles "Xie Lao" and "Yu Lao", which talked about the art of the ruler facing the south, also known as the Tao Theory. What is Tao? Tao can be told, it is extraordinary, it is very famous, and Guanzi believes that name is born from Tao, and Tao can be used to accommodate hundreds of schools..."

"The husband is not bad again. He abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism. Huang Lao's Tao is an evil saying, and Confucian Tao is the real Tao!"

Xu You knew that this would continue to argue, and he couldn't stop until next year. He smiled and said, "Did you learn Confucianism?"

The old man was even more excited and said, "Yes, the shameless disciples of Confucius's disciples!"

"In the past, all the people of Huang Lao in the Jixia Academy were Huang Lao, and Qi became one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period. However, Kong Sheng had appointed officials (in charge of warehouses), then took the fields (in charge of animal husbandry), and finally became the Grand Secretary of Lu State Kou, taking charge of the affairs of the prime minister. Did Lu State become the overlord? Later, he traveled around the countries, Wei, Cai, Song, Zheng, Chen, etc., and some were left, some were driven, some were trapped, or some were killed, but no country wanted to use it more. Is Confucianism and Taoism not as good as other schools? Or is there any other reason?"

Xu You said seriously: "The boy is not disrespectful to the saint, but just doubts in his heart, asking his father-in-law to solve his doubts."

The old man was not a corrupt scholar, and could not listen to others' criticism of Confucius. Instead, he looked at Xu You with admiration. Everyone reads and reads, but not everyone could think about it. He said: "Qi is close to the Bohai Sea, and is rich in fish and salt. It is beneficial to the mountains, seas and fishing fields. As long as the king is wise and the ministers are united, it is not difficult to dominate the world. As for Confucius, his career was not smooth before he was 60 years old. Although he was famous in the world, he was not used by the king. However, jade could not be used by the king. It was these hardships that made him reach a state of not being troubled by external remarks after he was 60 years old and no longer thought that his own experience was bumpy. The reason why a saint was a saint was not his innate talent, but through the gradual learning, cognition, understanding and thinking of acquired learning. When he stood at a high place that everyone should look up to, he became a saint."

He said as he was rising, pointing to the stone pier on the dock next to him, and said, "My husband, let me sit a little while. I am old and I can't stand it for too long."

"It's the boy who is negligent, my father-in-law should take a rest."

Xu You looked at the cold stone pier and took off his coat, folded it and placed it on it, and helped the old man sit down. At that time, the atmosphere was very open, and famous men exposed their breasts and catching lice and sucking their feet. They all thought it was normal. Actions like Xu You were just a pediatrician.

The old man didn't refuse, and exhaled a long breath and said, "It's much more comfortable! Are you cold? If it's not cold, I'll say more. If it's too cold, I'll tell you a long story."

Xu You smiled and said, "I heard the truth in the morning and died in the evening. It's just cold, so why bother to mention it?"

The old man laughed and said, "Okay! Then let's talk about it in detail. Have you read Mencius? The Sage Saint said that those who use force to be a benevolent will dominate, and domineer will have a great country. Therefore, Guanzi used the excuse of respecting the king and expelling the barbarians to dominate the king and make Qi dominate the princes. However, in his life, Duke Huan of Qi only became hegemonic, but did not become a king's business. In his later years, he was in a state of incompetence, and his five sons fought for power, and even his body rotted, he was buried in a hurry. This is the domineering attitude of using force to be a benevolent, which cannot be conquered people's hearts. Once he fails to meet his strength, he will be defeated."

Xu You showed a thoughtful expression and said, "Then Confucius is the king who practices kindness with virtue..."

The old man's eyes were filled with an admiration and said, "Yes, those who practice benevolence with virtue do not have to be big. Shang Tang is seventy miles away and Zhou Wen is hundreds of miles away. Both are kings of the world, and they last for hundreds of years. Is it because Duke Huan of Qi is not as good as King Tang and Wen? It is not, but because Duke Huan of Qi is overbearing, and the kingly way Tang and Wen are different, and the natural ending is different."

Xu You suddenly realized and said, "The king's way is the Confucian Confucian Confucianism, and the benevolence of Confucianism!"

"The son can teach me!" The old man strode his palm and said with relief: "Kong Sheng traveled around the countries and advised the king to take Confucianism as the basis. However, the etiquette and music were broken at that time, and no one was willing to practice benevolence with virtue, so it was difficult to achieve ambition. It was not that Confucius Sheng was inferior to Guanzi."

Xu You bowed his head and said, "I heard from my father-in-law, and I suddenly realized. Don't you dare to ask for your name?"

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Old Gu Zhuo."

"Ah?" Xu You knew in his heart that this old man was not an ordinary person, but he still pretended to be shocked and said, "Is it the Minister Gu?"

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shizhong was able to go to and from the court, and was the emperor's confidant and close minister. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Shizhong Temple was gradually becoming an important minister with prime minister power. The official system of Chu State inherited Cao Wei, and there was not much difference. It was just that Shizhong Temple was changed to Menxia Province to check and balance the power of the Secretariat.

Gu Zhuo was not the chief of the Menxia Province. His servant was granted a title, which means he enjoyed the third-rank treatment, but he did not have the real power of the third-rank. However, he could also compete with the emperor and act as an advisor. He was a relatively close minister and had a wide influence in the court and the country.

"It's the old man."

Xu You couldn't bow, his tone was filled with panic and said, "I don't know that the Shizhong Master will offend you!"

"Hey, we have a great conversation, how can we offend? The Shizhong is called Jinling. In Qiantang, you can call me a father-in-law! Look, I am still sitting in your robe, don't pay attention to etiquette!"

Gu Zhuo had a good impression of Xu You and asked, "Is Lang Jun a local?"

"Like my father-in-law, they all came from other places. But I came from Yixing..."

"Yixing?" Gu Zhuo seemed to remember something, and when he looked at Xu You again, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "Can you recognize the Qilang of the Xu family?"

"Boy Xu You, I've seen the Shizhong!"

"So it's you!"

Gu Zhuo stood up and still smiled, but Xu You knew that he had become distant: "Qilang's complexion was rosy, and his body was fine. It's really gratifying."

"It all depends on the wonderful hands of Doctor Wen to rejuvenate your youth!"

Xu You was surprised that Gu Zhuo was someone around An Zidao. He should not avoid him when it comes to emotions and reason. Could it be that there is something strange?

Gu Zhuo handed the robe to Xu You and said, "It's getting late, I'll take the lead. If you have any time in the future, I'll meet again."

The kindness in this sentence can be spread to the nose through the Qiantang River. Xu You said goodbye respectfully and said, "Brother-in-law, go slowly!"

By the way, Gu Zhuo is from Gu's family. In short, he should be Gu Yun's uncle!

Gu Zhuo's figure disappeared from the city gate, and seven followers gathered around him. He was just far away and didn't notice it. Xu You's eyes were slightly closed, and he was silent for a long time. He smiled at Zuo Qi, "Go back to Jingyuan!"
