Chapter 106 Choice

Ju Zizhou sat there and looked at Chen Lang's back, very confused.

Judging from the reaction, Chen Lang should be indeed a member of the Yang Zhu School.

The ideas that I put out were exactly the closest to Yang Zhu's studies and further their ideas.

——A further thinking, in reality, it often takes hundreds or thousands of years of continuous struggle to implement it.

Yang Zhu's learning was limited by the constraints of the real world that Yang Zhu himself could observe, and was limited by his education and background. The principles he could obtain were only the principles that pursued more justice and more fairness as much as possible under the framework of the natural noble aristocrats. They should not harm the interests of others, nor could they use moral kidnapping to force others to damage the interests of others.

Under the current reality that the blood nobles still rule the world, Yang Zhu's principles seem particularly extreme and eccentric and contrary to reality.

Therefore, the most criticized among the hundreds of schools is Yang Zhu's study.

Even Zhuang Zhou, the most transcendent among the various scholars, must scold him twice when he speaks.

What he said was precisely the Mohist principle of "to prosper the benefits of the world, but not to be willing to kill the harm of the world, and to take away the benefits of the world." It helped Yang Zhu's learning to go further and beyond the shackles of the times.

But Ju Zizhou didn't finish his words!

The dialectical relationship has not been clarified yet, the thinking clues have not been explained yet, and the reality foundation has not been given.

Ju Zizhou only gave a dialectical beginning for changes in thinking!

According to Ju Zizhou's idea, if Chen Lang's level is sufficient, he should be able to get some theories that are enough to refresh his three views from the theories he has explained.

Then, he will be willing to follow himself because he has not fully explained the theory.

But now, after hearing this, Chen Lang looked touched, but the person ran away!

This was beyond Ju Zizhou's expectations.

He didn't understand what was going on.

...

While thinking, Chen Lang stayed away from the construction site of the copper and iron furnace.

When he left completely, he couldn't help but look back.

"Ju Zizhou?" Chen Lang's eyes shone with a glory that had never been seen in recent years.

The meaning is correct and the words are sincere.

But Chen Lang knew that Ju Zizhou's purpose was to control himself.

This is the starting point of all his words and actions, and all his words and actions will be mixed with some biased things.

From the just explanation of the principles, Chen Lang understood one thing-the gap between himself and Ju Zizhou was too big.

The willingness to continue listening was very strong, but Chen Lang knew that he could not continue listening.

Chen Lang had no doubt at all. If he continued to listen, Ju Zizhou could still bring out more profound and complete principles.

However, if you listen to it, you will completely become a disciple of Ju Zizhou. You will obey your words and do not know what you think, and you will regard it as absolutely correct and have no doubt at all.

Even if you have more complete and profound principles, Chen Lang can't accept it!

If you can't accept it, you can't continue to stay with Ju Zizhou.

So he chose to leave.

Leave the copper and iron furnace... Leave Qin State.

...

Lu Buwei was studying at home.

He was born as a scholar and was originally a little rich man. His father was doing business and rarely had time to learn morals and knowledge. When Lu Buwei was young, he preferred poetry, calligraphy and etiquette and did not like money.

But later he was bullied by noble people in his hometown, and the family spent a lot of money to calm the noble people's anger towards him.

After that, Lu Buwei felt a strong desire to climb up, and the more he wanted to climb up, the more he knew the preciousness of money and knowledge.

So he started doing business, starting from earning money, making friends with the powerful little by little, and seeking opportunities to climb up.

This era belongs to the era of blood nobles. Lu Buwei was not from a prominent family. Although he had the same clan as the legendary military saint Lu Wang, it was a fact that his family declined and he was separated from the ranks of nobles.

All he can do is to move towards his ideals little by little.

He wants to be Lu Wang, open his own lineage and turn himself into a king!

All of this cannot be separated from the support of a strong country.

Coincidentally, the most powerful country in the world is Qin.

So he came to Qin, began his intrigue, and began his path of striving to realize his ideals.

Lu Buwei was reading the book and enjoying the service of the beautiful female slave, but he was thinking about some troubles in his heart.

I had previously talked about Ju Zizhou with King Yiren of Qin, and the two had the same opinion - Ju Zizhou is a talent, but he is a talent who cannot see the situation clearly.

His ability is definitely extremely high, but he is still quite immature in personnel and power struggles, so that he is really loyal to a prince of Yingzheng.

The consequence of being loyal to the crown prince but not being loyal to the Qin King is that he cannot become famous, cannot get high officials, generous salaries, and good land and beautiful houses.

But he still has to do what he should do, which is equivalent to working in vain, and it takes more than one or two days.

Generally speaking, you should be happy to have a job with strong abilities.

But Lu Buwei couldn't be happy.

Because both himself and the King of Qin Yiren were very clear that the methods of enriching the country and strengthening the army in Ju Zizhou's head were actually in conflict with the existing basic national policy of Qin.

Knowing this, you can continue to ask him to take charge of his work with confidence, which is itself a great trust.

The Qin King Yiren believed in Ju Zizhou's ability and character.

So from the beginning, he knew that the copper and iron furnace that Ju Zizhou was going to build would have some regrets about the Qin system, but he still agreed to Ju Zizhou.

This is already a very incredible level of trust.

Such belief in Ju Zizhou certainly also shows that Yiren value Ju Zizhou and his fear of himself - Ju Zizhou is used to check and balance him!

So Lu Buwei knew clearly that the more Yi Ren valued Ju Zizhou, he wanted to do something to himself.

However, because of their special encounter, it is impossible for people like Yi Ren to take serious action against themselves.

This made Lu Buwei feel a little relieved.

But... Yi Ren did not allow him to contact Ju Zizhou, which cut off his possibility of secretly connecting with Ju Zizhou to achieve his own goal... It's a bit troublesome!

Lu Buwei reads books slowly and thinks slowly.

"Master, Mr. Chen asks for a meeting." The servant came in and reported.

"Please come in." Lu Buwei quickly calmed down his emotions, let go of his left and right, and invited Chen Lang in.

"Didn't Junior Brother Chen go to investigate the market and learn materials for editing books? Why did he come back so early?" Lu Buwei asked cordially.

"Because there is no need to investigate!" Chen Lang said: "I plan to leave."

"Leave?" Lu Buwei was a little confused: "Is it not enough to just investigate Xianyang?"

"Of course it's not enough to investigate!" Chen Lang said: "I want to practice it!"

"Practice?" Lu Buwei became even more confused: "What to practice?"

"Practice righteousness and practice reason." Chen Lang said.

Only then did Lu Buwei realize that something was wrong: "Are you leaving Qin?"

"Not bad!" Chen Lang nodded: "I'm leaving. I've been in Qin for too long, so long that I almost forgot that Taoist principles are not dead, they are unchanging, they change according to the times!"

"You..." Lu Buwei was stunned: "Really plan to leave? Don't you continue your ambition?"

"What is the ambition to compile a book?" Chen Lang smiled and said, "Books are dead, and people are alive!"

Lu Buwei was uneasy.

"Will you have no more fame and fortune!" He finally tried to keep it.

Chen Lang shook his head: "If there is no righteousness, fame and fortune will be like a cloud!"

"What's more, the fame and fortune in the world are not from the one of the Qin Kongs!" Chen Lang smiled and said, "He is here, so I will not compete for fame and fortune here!"

"I am supported by you, and I am also grateful to him. Now that you are in conflict, if I stay, I will either harm your hair but benefit him; or harm his hair and benefit you. No matter which one, I don't want to choose!"

"So, I chose to leave!"
