The government office is closed today, and Governor Zhang is indeed at home.
The September edition of An Jiang's Collected Works is now on sale and he is currently reading it.
This issue of "Anjiang Collection of Essays" still contains Li Qingzhi's article. He had already read this article, so he didn't read it any more and turned to read other articles.
Among these, Governor Zhang’s favorite was the article written by Taoyuan Jushi.
Taoyuan Jushi is the same as Qiongdu Sanren, in that someone did not want to use his real name, so he gave himself a code name.
And Governor Zhang happened to know who this Taoyuan Hermit was.
Mr. Taoyuan is actually Mr. Fang Shan, and his article is titled "On Great Harmony".
Mr. Fang Shan always wanted to build a harmonious society and he often wrote such articles. He often published these articles under the identity of "Taoyuan Hermit" so that he could express himself more freely.
This time, "On Great Harmony" is the same as Fang Shanchang's previous thoughts, but it also incorporates some unique things, which Fang Shanchang drew from the article "The Lonely Wanderer".
That Li Qingzhi is truly different from ordinary people.
Although he had thoroughly studied the Four Books and Five Classics and other Confucian classics, and his eight-part essays were impeccable, Li Qingzhi himself did not take Confucianism seriously.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a loner.
Governor Zhang had realized this a long time ago, but he didn't care.
In his view, ideology is not important, a person's nature is more important.
Li Qingzhi has a good nature.
After reading Fang Shanzhang's article several times, Governor Zhang also felt the urge to write something. At this moment, the doorman of Zhang's house came in and said, "Sir, it's time for lunch."
This gatekeeper who had followed Governor Zhang for many years was actually no longer a gatekeeper but the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion. However, he still stayed at the gatehouse all day, and he and his wife took care of Governor Zhang's daily life as before.
When Governor Zhang closed the book, he saw the food box in the doorman's hand: "What was delivered today? Lao Li, go get a plate and take half."
He couldn't finish all the food sent to him by Jueweizhai, so he would give half of it to his housekeeper every day and they would share it together.
"Master, I sent you pig intestines today! There are also things for Master Li in them." said Butler Li.
Li Qingzhi had received a book from Governor Zhang before and had written a letter to express his gratitude, but he didn’t know what was sent this time... Governor Zhang thought it was probably an article.
He had told Li Qingzhi before that he should write the article and send it to him so that he could send it to Anjiang Academy.
As for guidance... Li Qingzhi's current articles no longer need too much guidance from him.
"Put the food box here. I can eat and watch at the same time," said Governor Zhang.
Governor Zhang would eat out most of the time, but sometimes he would eat in his study.
He's alone anyway.
"Master, I'll go get you some food." Butler Li put down the food box and left.
This food box had two layers. Governor Zhang opened the upper layer and found a full plate of fried pig intestines.
He hadn't eaten this for a long time and missed it quite a bit... Governor Zhang opened the second layer of the food box and found a plate of braised food inside.
