"A breath in the human world is a year in the Sacred Will World. The outcome of the Sacred Will Debate is determined by time. If Fang Sheng stays in Zong Sheng's Sacred Will World for a longer period of time, Fang Sheng wins. If Zong Sheng stays in Fang Sheng's Sacred Will World for a longer period of time, Zong Sheng wins. Usually, the outcome will be decided after a few minutes. "
After Wang Jinglong finished speaking, he stopped talking and quietly looked at Zong Sheng's white ball of light.
Fang Yun opened his eyes and found himself behind a table. He looked around and knew that he was in an unknown county office.
Fang Yun sat on the chair and looked down. He saw a document on the table.
"What a magnanimous gentleman."
Fang Yun flipped through the document. It was a document from the prefectural magistrate. It said that Peach County was famous for its peaches. Every family planted peach trees, but when there was a good harvest, the peaches hurt the farmers. When there was a bad harvest, there were no peaches to sell. He wanted the county magistrate to solve the problem.
Fang Yun did not act rashly. Instead, he recalled the classics of the Zong Family, mainly the works of Zong Sheng.
There were thick documents on the table, including the county records. They recorded everything in Peach County in detail.
Fang Yun recalled the classics of the Zong Family and flipped through them one by one. Finally, he finished reading all the books on the table.
In the end, Fang Yun nodded lightly. He thought that Zong Sheng was indeed proficient in the Zong Family. At the same time, he was adept at government affairs. The first test was mature and meaningful.
The opening chapter of the Lu Family Spring and Autumn, "Meng Chunji", was a combination of Confucian "etiquette" and "agriculture". The main content was that in the first month of spring, people had to worship the heavens and earth. They focused on agriculture and everything else was secondary. They even believed that starting a war during this month was unforgivable.
This chapter reflected the importance that the human race placed on agriculture and food. It was because of the importance that the human race had placed on agriculture and agriculture that the human race had been growing stronger.
This was also in line with the core idea of the Zong Family School of Miscellany. It was obviously based on the strengths of each school. Anyone who said that the School of Miscellany belonged to one school was overgeneralizing.
However, since it was a Sacred Will Debate, Fang Yun knew that Zong Sheng would not give him such a simple test.
The last chapter of the "Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals", "On the City's Appearance", also mentioned farming. Moreover, it proposed a basic principle, which was to emphasize agriculture and ignore commerce.
The School of Miscellany was known as "Combining Confucianism and Ink, Combining the Names of Dharma". Confucianism was ranked first, which showed how much importance the School of Miscellany and Lu Buwei attached to Confucianism. However, when it came to agriculture and commerce, the Miscellanies went one step further than the Confucians. They emphasized agriculture and despised commerce while the Confucians emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce. This was a fundamental difference.
In an area where the human race had a strong Confucian atmosphere, the status of merchants was extremely low and was regarded as a lowly profession. In an area with a strong miscellaneous atmosphere, although the status of a merchant was not as high as that of a scholar, it was not considered a lowly profession.
Therefore, although the Divine Path of the Miscellaneous School was heterogeneous, it was precisely because of their inclusive mind that they surpassed the original Confucian School in many aspects.
This was also the reason why the School of Miscellany was able to stand tall in Saint Origin World.
Although the Miscellany School gradually turned to government and politics after Lu Buwei, they did not abandon their fundamental ideals.
Fang Yun pondered for a moment and confirmed that the Sect Sage was testing him on the matter of "emphasizing agriculture over commerce". As a disciple of the Confucian School, if he rashly implemented "emphasizing agriculture over commerce", he would definitely be at a disadvantage and fail the first test.
The key point was that when Fang Yun was in power in Jingguo, his ideals were closer to the Miscellanies than the Confucians.
"Sly." Fang Yun thought to himself. This Zong Moju was strange and righteous. Although it seemed like a matter of commerce and agriculture, it was actually a hidden danger.
If he did not follow the Confucian path and walked the path of emphasizing agriculture over commerce, he could pass. However, if he accepted the Miscellany School's Divine Path in the first test, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the later stages.
After Fang Yun understood Zong Moju's intentions, he did not immediately take action. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to think about the relationship between commerce and agriculture. After he sorted it out, he decided on his own policy.
After deciding on his policy, Fang Yun felt somewhat helpless. This matter might be very difficult for an ordinary Confucian disciple in Saint Origin World, and they might fail if they were not careful. However, it was very simple for him to pass the first year.
Fang Yun took a pen and paper and thought for a moment before coming up with a few plans.
The first step was to maintain the scattered cultivation of the small farmers. However, above that, he would centralize the management of all the farmers.
Fang Yun was already very familiar with the specific management method. Whether it was when he was an official in Jingguo or when he was cultivating in the Dusk World, he had practiced it many times.
After coming up with a centralized management plan, Fang Yun began the second step.
It was the beginning of spring, and the peach blossoms were about to bloom. The second step was to organize a peach blossom festival to attract tourists.
During the festival, farmers from all over the country would sell peach-related items.
The third step was to organize a peach wood carving competition before the peach blossoms withered and the peaches ripened. This would develop the peach wood carving art of Peach County.
The fourth step was to mobilize the county government after the peaches ripened. They would start to collect the peaches and package them according to their type. This would establish the brand awareness of Peach County and use various methods to sell them.
The fifth step was to reprocess the ripe peaches and make all kinds of candied peaches, preserved peaches, and other processed products.
The last step was to train different groups of people during the winter when the weather was cold and the land was frozen. Some people would be trained in cultivation techniques, while others would be trained in peach carving techniques.
After making the outline, Fang Yun began the detailed management of the project. He even used a Gantt chart and prepared various plans. He could act according to the situation at any time and implement a policy more suitable for Peach County.
Finally, Fang Yun wrote four words at the end of the plan.
After Shang Xiannong.
These four words successfully avoided the problems of weight and tone of Shang Xiannong. They were ingenious and completely broke free from Zong Sheng's constraints.
Fang Yun was about to implement the plan when time passed quickly. A year had passed.
Fang Yun knew that it wasn't because a year had really passed, but because of his own feelings. Because his sacred will had only entered a small part, and Zong Sheng had used a lot of power to build the world of the sacred will. It was not that the flow of time inside and outside was one breath per year, but that Fang Yun's sacred will's thinking ability was only equivalent to Zong Sheng's one breath per year.
Zong Sheng directly changed the perception of time, which meant that Zong Sheng had allowed Fang Yun to pass.
Just a plan document made Zong Sheng realize that the theory of agriculture and business was not a problem for Fang Yun.
After a few breaths, Fang Yun's perception of time returned to normal. Then, a strange scene appeared outside the hall of the yamen.
The sun in the sky was moving quickly, and the shadows on the ground were also moving quickly. After a few breaths, the sun set and night fell. But after a few breaths, the sun rose and the flow of time seemed to return to normal.
Fang Yun sat in the hall and looked at the shadows of the buildings outside the door. He sighed softly.
"This Zong Sheng …"
Fang Yun muttered to himself. The second year of the Tao debate was indeed difficult.
There were many principles in the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lyu family, and one of them was very famous. It was also the main holy way of the School of Miscellany that did not fear the Confucians and other schools.
There was a sentence in the Spring and Autumn Annals that went, "Judge the Yin in the hall, and know the movement of the sun and moon." It was a very simple principle. By observing the changes in the shadows of the houses, one could know the changes in the movement of the sun and moon, and the changes in day and night.
