Practical theory, or positivist philosophy, is of course a big pit, just for pursuing the Confucian natural way. If the natural way Confucius sought from Lao Tzu is a question, then positivism is one of the tools to answer this question!

With the tool of positivism, future Confucian naturalist (positivist) scholars can use observation, classification, and classification data to explore the way of nature of all things and obtain correct and credible results.

Of course, Wu Haogu was not a technical man in his previous life, nor had he learned much philosophy. The reason why he was able to propose "practice theory" was that when he was a child, he often heard that practice was the only criterion for testing truth.

However, just like the huge controversy caused by the statement that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth" in later generations, don't underestimate the power of this sentence. This is the basis of ideological reform and opening up in later generations. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the method of using empirical pursuit of the great way will inevitably cause huge controversy.

Because practice can test the logic of truth and the absolute truth that Confucius said, "Mencius, Buddha, and Laojun" said, "There are logical conflicts in itself!

Therefore, Wu Haogu did not dare to openly publish articles like "Practice is the only standard for testing truth" in "Wenquxing". He only dared to secretly use the excuse of "experimental military system" and first introduce the concept of positivism. He did not seek any "only standard". As long as positivism and Confucius and Mencius can go hand in hand, it will be a great success.

...

On the same day when Wenquxing magazine launched the "On the Way on Paper" column and proposed the strange and strange theory of "Practice Testing the War System". Ji Yi, who had not left Kaifeng Prefecture, brought his friend Zhu Xie to Lu Jiawen's mansion.

He came to visit Lu Jiawen to recommend an official to Zhu Xie.

Shi Guozhong, who gave Wu Haogu's advice, said it was right. Although the store and housekeeping department had not built a house for more than a hundred years, this question was not difficult for Lu Jia to ask him about such a bad character and being a smooth person. I don't know how many people he offended, but he has always been a tumbler in the officialdom. It's not unreasonable.

This cruel official can really do things! The job of building a house in half of Duting Station was a problem for Qiang Yuanming and Liu Ai, but it was not difficult for Lu Jia to ask.

The solution to Lu Jia’s problem is very simple, which is to distribute official hats to build houses!

Be an official! Is there anyone who doesn’t like the Song Dynasty? Even the wise official who is responsible for building a house is a dignified official, and he is also an official from Taifu Temple... You can tell how fat you are with your heels.

Lu Jia asked his Taifu Temple Minister that this was a fat man known as the "Busy Queen". There were many government agencies under his jurisdiction, so there were naturally more official positions that could be recommended.

In addition, Zhao Ji also approved the establishment of repair cases and demolition cases under the store and house affairs, which can be both yamen that can accommodate officials and public officials.

So after completely taking over the mission of the Taifu Temple Minister, Lu Jiawen immediately began to recruit people for the construction and demolition case.

Moreover, Lu Jiawen personally checked no one's face, and it was useless to write a note. Lu Daqingtian didn't recognize anyone now, and he just had serious skills.

Of course, except for Zeng Bu, An Tao, Zhao Tingzhi, Li Qingchen and other new party bosses, who saw Lu Jia and asked this evil man if he didn’t get numb? Where did he go to the door and it would be cheap, and maybe he would take it to the court to complain.

However, the Zhu Xie brought to Lu Jiawen today is really capable! If this guy doesn’t have some skills, he wouldn’t have caused such a big disaster in history!

When Ji Yi came outside the mansion of Taifu Temple Minister, which seemed very dilapidated, he found that Lu Benzhi had been waiting for a long time.

Ji Yi met Lu Benzhi when she came to the Taifu Temple Minister's residence to recommend Zhu Xie. At this time, she hurried forward, "Why is the yamen waiting here? The officials can't afford it."

"Brother Yizhi should not be quarrel. Do you think I want to welcome you? It's all my father's mission... and come with me."

It turned out that Lu Jiawen also knew that the officials of Taifu Temple were basically unreliable. They had to do their best to demolish and build houses. If they couldn't do it themselves, they asked their son Lu Benzhi to help.

Ji Yi hurriedly presented a volume of architectural drawings of the "Tube Building" painted by Zhu Xie, and then followed Lu Benzhi into the residence of the Taifu Temple Minister with Zhu Xie.

This time, Lu Jiawen personally checked the "recruitment" and recruited a construction material craftsman. The assessment question was to draw a sample picture of the "tube building" next to Huaxian Temple, and then calculate the materials, working hours and costs required for construction.

As long as the sample drawings and construction plans are recognized by Lu Jiawen, they can immediately "test officials", that is, they can recommend the trial construction command, then recruit the construction wings themselves, and then be responsible for the construction of several "tube buildings". As long as the project can be completed on schedule and with quality, Lu Jiawen can immediately seek a formal official for the responsible trial construction command.

It is hard to say how this method will be in the future, but before the official official body is released, those test-teacher construction commands will definitely work hard.

So now Lu Jiawen is not worried that the Dutingyi project will not be completed. What really makes him feel troubled is the demolition of the barracks!

He also knew that this pit was difficult to fill, and he just wanted to avoid the official plan of Kaifeng Prefecture's real estate industry to prevent it from being destroyed, so he took the call.

Lu Benzhi quickly brought Ji Yi and Zhu Xie outside the study room of Lu Jiawen. Lu Benzhi said to Zhu Xie, "Wait for a moment." Then he kept the door of the study room, "Brother Yizhi, my father still has some things to ask, let's come with me."

"good."

Ji Yi responded and followed Lu Benzhi into the study. In the study, Lu Jiawen was looking down at a newly published magazine "Wenquxing", frowned, as if he was thinking hard.

Ji Yi bowed, "Ji Yi, the official, has met Mr. Lu."

Lu Benzhi placed the drawings on the desk, "Dad, this is the drawings drawn by Zhudu, Pingjiang recommended by Ji Yizhi."

"Let's go." Lu Jiawen raised his head and looked at Ji Yi with a respectful smile, "Ji Yizhi, right?"

"It's the official."

"I heard that you and Wu Haogu are good friends?"

Ji Yi seemed to have expected Lu Jia to have this question, and replied with a smile: "I used to be a friend."

"Not now?"

"no."

"Why?" Lu Jia asked and looked at Ji Yi curiously, "I heard that this person is quite generous and loyal."

"Wu Haogu is indeed generous and generous," Ji Yi said. "He is admired by his character. However... his Tao is not the Tao of the lower officials. Different Taos are not the Tao of each other."

"He has the word?"

"Yes." Ji Yi said, "There is also a way of stealing, let alone a generation of Confucian businessmen. But the way of Confucian businessmen is not the way of lowering officials."

"Aren't you also a businessman?"

Ji Yi smiled, "The officials were only from merchants, not merchants. If we talk about family background, then Wu Haogu was a serious gentry, not from merchants."

It is not the same concept as a businessman. Ji Yi's family was indeed a businessman. During the Tang Dynasty, his ancestors were merchants with "city status". Wu Haogu was just a businessman, not a businessman. His ancestors had a family of Mei Niang and a female official...

"Aristocrats?" Lu Jia asked and sneered, "This dynasty does not pay attention to this."

As he spoke, he tapped a book "Wenquxing" unfolded on the desk with his fingers. "Remember, have you read this issue of "Wenquxing"?"

"I've seen it." Ji Yi replied.

"How do you think?"

Ji Yi replied: "The official thinks you can give it a try."

What Lu Jiawen and Ji Yi said was of course the experiment on the military system. Neither of them noticed the big pit of "practice theory", but only thought about the military system that "saving money and being safe" was the military system.

"Why did Wu Haogu mention this in his own "Wenquxing"?" Lu Jia asked in a clear understanding. "Don't he support knights?"

"Those horse-riding men are actually soldiers of the palace." Ji Yi replied with a smile, "When the children of noble officials were also appointed as guards of the inner palace in the early Tang Dynasty? Li Shimin also summoned 2,000 Xuan Armored Essential Cavalry in Taiyuan. I think they are all powerful warriors from the wealthy family."

The ideal system of government troops actually requires a military aristocratic class as the core, and the system of government troops theoretically leads troops from landlords and rich peasants, but in fact, it allows the rich and upper-class people to undertake military service.

In return, the country naturally has to reward the right to be an official to military nobles and the military soldiers. In other words, if you want an official, you must first become a soldier!

Therefore, the system of government soldiers and the imperial examination system is naturally opposite... During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, officials from the imperial examination accounted for a small proportion. From the founding of the country to the demise of the Tang Dynasty, a total of 266 Jinshi examinations were held, and more than 6,000 people were enrolled, with an average of only 25 people per subject. When the system of government soldiers was not corrupt in the early Tang Dynasty, it would be even more difficult to get into the Jinshi.

In the Song Dynasty, the imperial examinations were booming, and most of the wealthy people learned literature and abandoned martial arts, and it was impossible for them to act as soldiers in the palace.

If the system of the palace is really to be restored, it will inevitably significantly reduce the number of people who take the imperial examinations and rebuild military nobles.

Ji Yi said: "The Bai Bowu family was originally the Yimen triumphed by the emperor, and the Han family in Xiangzhou was a first-class wealthy family. The Daming Pan family was a founding nobleman, and even a family like the Ximen of Yanggu was a powerful person. If the military soldiers really wanted to prosper, it would only benefit them and not harm them."

"So that's it," Lu Jia asked, nodded and said to himself, "But such a mansion soldier is not what I, the Song Dynasty, needed."

After hearing Lu Jiawen's words, Ji Yi knew in his heart that the experiment of the mansion soldiers seemed to be a must.

However, the Song Dynasty's government soldiers could not deviate from the general principles of "emphasizing culture over military affairs" and "using culture to control military affairs" in any case. Similarly... there is no way to have an equal-field system!

"Remember it," Lu Jia asked, then said again, "Is the person you recommended called Zhu Xie?"

"That's right, his family is the best builder family in Pingjiang Army."
