Zhuge Liang nodded. "This is natural. He is conservative and he will speak for three generations. It is just the view of corrupt scholars, and it is not a wise man."

Sun Ce smiled and stretched out his finger to point Zhuge Liang. "Be careful, it's okay to say this in front of me. When you meet Zhang Zibu, you will look good."

Zhuge Liang smiled. "In fact, even if it is considered a Confucian school, it is not unchanging. Today's Confucian school is not a Confucian school in the early Han Dynasty, and the Confucian school in the early Han Dynasty is not a Confucian school in the pre-Qin period, and the Confucian school in Xun and Meng are not a Confucian school in Confucius. Even Confucius himself, his studies at the age of fifty and seventy are different. Therefore, it is easy to say that it is easy to do not."

"Okay, if you have such insights, you are someone who can talk to each other." Sun Ce clapped his hands and praised.

"The young man is terrifying." Guo Jia also smiled and nodded. "I only had this idea at the age of fifteen, at least two years later than you."

"The general has won the prize, and the wine has won the prize." Zhuge Liang was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed to salute.

"Then tell me, what are the differences between now and Guan Zhongshi?"

"There are many differences. Feudalism has become counties, and the common rulers of the world have become emperors. The biggest difference is that the family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family'

Sun Ce agreed, but was not satisfied, and asked, "Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Of course it is a good thing. The family's family's family's wealth, regardless of the wise and foolishness, only ask about bloodline and family background, it is inevitable that there are many people who are free to eat, and there are few who are both virtuous and talented. Even if the poor children have the talent of Yi Yin, they will not be able to get the position without meeting a wise king. Moreover, the family has their own advantages, and the branches are strong and weak, so internal turmoil is in chaos, and the three families divide the Jin Dynasty. The Tian family replaces Qi, which is the best. The people are not in unity and the external enemies are not in control, so the six countries were destroyed by Qin. Qin used Shang Yang's method and practiced farming and fighting strategies, and they could not be granted a title of marquis unless they are military achievements. Therefore, everyone is brave and strives for the first place. The talents of the six countries are like rivers returning to the sea, and good prime ministers and famous generals are like stars competing for bride and shining. The latter comes to the top, and they are all the achievements of reform."

"It makes sense that the influence of a scholar from the end of the nobles to the head of the four people is indeed far-reaching. However, it may not necessarily be a good thing. If it is not handled well, good things may also turn into bad things."

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, a little puzzled. "Is it a bad thing to have too many talents?"

"Is that Lantern Festival delicious just now?"

Zhuge Liang did not understand the meaning, but said sincerely: "It's delicious. Mrs. Yuan's craftsmanship is well-known."

"What if you were asked to eat ten bowls in a row?"

Zhuge Liang was stunned and then smiled. "Too much is not enough. Not to mention ten bowls, I can't eat the third bowl."

"Yes, the same is true for scholars. If there are too many, it will become a bad thing." Sun Ce sighed. "The most obvious example is the party members. Not to mention whether the party members are loyal or treacherous, whether they are for the country and the people or harming the country and the people, just say one thing, if there is no support from the 30,000 students, can the party members create such momentum? If the party members were not so powerful that they threatened the monarch, would it trigger the party and corruption?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, his eyes were a little dim. "It is true and even reasonable. The general suppresses the aristocratic families and favors the people, so he is doing this? There are more than 30,000 scholars in the world, and the general is repulsing it. It is probably not a long-term solution."

"Do I reject scholars?" Sun Ce played with the teacup in his hand, smiling and looking at Zhuge Liang with a playful look.

Zhuge Liang blinked his eyes and his face became a little hot. He said the wrong thing, Sun Ce did not reject scholars, and there were many scholars around him. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been today. He just refused those who came and did not pursue those who went, and did not show the attitude of being a wise ruler to seek talent. As for him, Sun Ce expressed his enthusiasm, but did not come to invite people, which was very different from the behavior of others. Tao Qian's ruler Xuzhou caused such a big storm, not to ask for wise men to support him, but Zhang Zhao, Zhao Yu and others did not give him a good face in the end.

Sun Ce coughed and brought back the topic. "There are so many scholars, so of course they cannot be ignored. Qin admires the law and suppresses Confucianism. Confucian scholars fled when they look at the wind. Kong Feng returns to Chen Sheng with ritual vessels, Fan Zeng returns to Xiang Liang, and Emperor Gaozu has countless people. There are talented people who cannot use it, and use it but cannot fully use it. Even if there are pearls that are secretly thrown into the darkness, and the beautiful jade is sighing in the dust. This is the fault of governing."

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time. "So the general sent Xu Gonghe and Yan Mancai to manage mathematics, Huang Chengyan and his daughter to manage wood, and Yuan Huan manage water?"

"Xu Gonghe River manages arithmetic, so that our army can build giant stone throwing machines. Huang Chengyan and his daughter manage wood, so that our army can have sharp blades and giant ships. Yuan Huan manages water, so that the humid and humid areas in the south of the Yangtze River become fertile land. Although they are scholars, they can strengthen the army and emphasize agriculture, which is beneficial to the people. It is not better than seeking officials alone? Scholars are the leaders of the four generations, and they cannot be separated from agriculture, industry and commerce, but should assist them with their own wisdom. Compared with the officialdom, is this place of use wider?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up and nodded frequently. "What the general said is very limited, and he cannot place thousands of people a year. If he dealt with this, the more talents, the better. There will be no difficulties in fighting for a single official." He changed his subject and returned to the original question. "The general hides rich people in the people, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment without having to work hard for a livelihood. But the enemy is right, is it appropriate to do this?"

"The Great Enemy?" Sun Ce laughed and said meaningfully: "To me, Yuan Shao is just a giant beast with his own shape and is about to die. It looks scary, but in fact it is vulnerable. Kong Ming, although you have studied a lot and have traveled to some places, after all, you are outside and don't know the root of it, and it is normal for you to be mistaken by rumors. Look at these military plans, do some regard Yuan Shao as an invincible enemy? To them, Yuan Shao is more like a sharpening stone. Hehe, such a perfect sharpening stone is rare and hard to come by."

Zhuge Liang turned his head and looked at the military strategists holding a bowl and eating dumplings in the house. He felt their enthusiasm, but he was not as nervous as he imagined. It seemed that Sun Ce was right. In the eyes of these military strategists, Yuan Shao was not a great enemy that could be used for battle, but a rare stone. Four generations of three ministers and party leaders, except Yuan Shao, there is no other one in the world.

He has read many lecture notes in martial arts halls and knows that a real battle will have many specific content that cannot be involved in military books. It is difficult to know the secret without personal experience. The knowledge that can be learned in a real battle is by no means comparable to ordinary battles.

He came to see Sun Ce today in the name of the New Year, and did not take the initiative to serve. He originally planned to lobby Sun Ce with his words to show his talent. If Sun Ce asked for an invitation and was awarded an important position, he would go with the flow. If Sun Ce did not invite him or did not show his due sincerity, he would not be willing to give in. But this was a great opportunity to hone his skills. If he missed this time, it would be difficult to meet again for a long time.

What should I do?

Zhuge Liang quietly looked at the busy military advisers, feeling very confused.

Sun Ce and Guo Jia exchanged glances and smiled knowingly. Sun Ce coughed: "Kong Ming, Pang Shiyuan has another task. I am missing a scholar who assists the documents. The matter is complicated and may be more tiring. I wonder if you want to surrender?"

Zhuge Liang was very disappointed when he heard that he was a choreographer who was doing chores. This was too far from his goal and was not even considered an intern military strategy. However, he really couldn't bear to miss this opportunity. In addition, he felt a little comforted when he heard Pang Tong's name. As far as he knew, Pang Tong was originally Sun Ce's Shu Zuo. After hesitating, he bowed and bowed.
