    When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

    He suddenly realized something.

    Among the hundreds of officials, there were also quite a few new disciples, whose eyes lit up at this moment.

    They suddenly seemed to understand something.

    ¡°Is this¡­ the legendary unity of knowledge and action?

    Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and stared at Fang Jifan. He felt more and more that Fang Jifan was not simple. He couldn't help but said: "So, this is Fang Qing's family's intention?"

    "Your Majesty." Fang Jifan said eloquently: "There are many people in this world who have mastered this knowledge to a profound level. But it is also extremely difficult to reduce this knowledge into simplicity. With such a talent as Erchen, I want to write  It would be even more difficult to publish a book that is so vulgar in the eyes of others."

    ""

    Emperor Hongzhi was in a daze and said subconsciously: "Keep talking."

    Fang Jifan then said: "For this reason, I have to go through a lot of trouble. This is much more difficult than writing a "Spring and Autumn". Why? Because first of all, I have to lower my IQ to the level of those who have not read the book."  As we all know, Erchen has been reading every day for these years. Not only compared with Confucius and Mencius, but also much better than ordinary Confucian scholars. Therefore In this process, Erchen was miserable.  When writing this "Song of the Ming Dynasty", the first thing to do is to understand the level of literacy of the vulgar people who were despised by Zhou Tanzhi, the Minister of Rites, and to pull myself up to the level of peace and harmony.  They are on the same level.¡±

    "For example I want to do it. There must not be a single uncommon word in this book, because ordinary people can only know a very limited number of words in their lifetime. Most of the words they can know are related to money.  Banknotes, IOUs, Spring Festival couplets, or their own names, or from the memorial arch at the head of the village. Because of this, Erchen listed these as common characters. In addition, he tried his best to make all the characters as simple as possible.  "

    When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't help but begin to imagine that he was an ordinary common man who had never gone to school. The words that common people could recognize must be limited, and the words they could come into contact with were even more limited.

    He raised his head sharply and couldn't help but said: "Come here, bring me the Ming Song."

    Ming Song was quickly placed on Emperor Hongzhi's desk. After a closer look, Emperor Hongzhi found that almost all the words and sentences used common words as much as possible. He had not noticed it before, but now he suddenly discovered that if he wrote an article  , trying to use uncommon words in every place is certainly not easy, but it is also not easy to use simple words in every sentence.

    How much effort was put into this!

    Fang Jifan added: "Besides, in order to ensure that they knew the words in it and could barely understand it, I tried my best not to use the poems, songs, verses, and parallelisms as much as possible, but I tried my best to use them.  All the words and phrases were changed to people's common idioms. How the people spoke was how they were written in this poem. Just like this pig, it has always been used in writing, but Erchen noticed that the people would  He loved to call him a 'pig', but even if there was a ban, the government could not change the people's inertia, so the ministers were bold and simply called him a pig."

    "The literati wrote books and asked people if they wanted to eat. But the common people didn't usually speak like this. This was the speech of the scholars. As for the ministers, they directly changed it to, have you eaten? So the common people  Although they don't know some words well, if they only know one or two of them, they can probably figure out what they mean based on their own experience. In this way, they will write down those things they don't recognize. At the same time,  I can barely understand the contents of the book, so I kill two birds with one stone, what's wrong with that?"

    Ouyang Zhi had already reacted at this time, his eyes shining brightly.

    This is the real university question.

    The teacher's move was really vivid, allowing me to finally understand the secret of the new learning, reciting poems and composing poems. There are many words and phrases that care about the people in these poems and poems, but these artificial words and phrases are indeed quatrains of the ages.  Another example is what Mencius said, calling for the people to be the foundation.

    But the problem is that whether it is Mencius or these literati and poets who are sympathetic to the peasants, these words are all said to the rulers and scholar-bureaucrats. This is more like a condescending pity and sympathy from the superiors.

    However my mentor's idea of ??integrating knowledge and action and putting people first is far beyond Confucius and Mencius. Although it continues the benevolence of Confucius and Mencius, it is actually a bit more advanced because it has truly penetrated into the people and implemented this idea.  People-oriented thinking.

    Emperor Hongzhi felt even more incredible when he heard this.

    Everyone in this hall is silent, this is a??Brand new thinking

    Although some people sneer at it, no matter how hypocritical or sincere a person who claims to be a disciple of a saint and loves his people is, no one dares to stand up now.

    Fang Jifan then added: "I have done it so that the people can barely recognize the words in the book, and I have also done it so that the people can barely understand the sentences in the book. But this is not enough, because the people will read again.  They have to understand, read and understand, if the things in the book are of no help to them, thenwhat meaning does it have to them?"

    "Those scholars are supported by people and don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, so they can talk openly and openly. What they say is family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs. But the common people are different. They don't have enough to eat, and their clothes are not warm enough.  With so many mouths opened by young and old, all of them are weighed down on them. If the content in the book is just a simple sermon, would these common people be interested in such a book?"

    "In this case, we need to know what the people need. As your Majesty said, all the princes in this palace are supported by the people's anointing. Where does this people's anointing come from? It comes from the people's farming.  Raising pigs, raising chickens, and growing fruits and vegetables, the people have been working for many years. They don't care what year it is, but what they care about most is the solar terms. Why? Because they understand the solar terms, they can know the farming season well, and they know,  When to plant crops and when to harvest. Therefore, I compiled the almanac in the book and taught the people how to raise pigs, how to simply deal with some diseases, and how to get rid of insects. This knowledge is not important at all to scholars.  But for the common people, they are nothing more than the Four Books and Five Classics, and they are also the basis for their survival."

    Fang Jifan paused and then said: "After reading this book, if they could grow better crops, would it be more beneficial to the court? If they could raise more pigs, cows, chickens and ducks, would it be more beneficial to the court?  Less burden again? This important matter that benefits the country and the people is exactly the benevolence of Confucius and Mencius. It is what a scholar with the world in mind should do. Your Majesty knows this person. Your Majesty is dedicated to helping the country and caring for the people.  , it is precisely because of his constant benevolence that he thought hard and wrote this book that benefits and benefits the people. If this book can benefit the people, your Majesty will also benefit. To put it more seriously, while the people are benefiting, they can also use this book to benefit the people.  From a book, you can learn more words, know more truths, and understand more skills, so isn't this not education?"

    "There are some scholars who talk about enlightenment, but take simple knowledge in the most complicated direction. They want to break it apart and crush it into pieces, and then use some mysterious and mysterious words to explain it in the most complicated direction.  By piling up complicated words, he feels that he is extremely clever, as if only in this way can he prove that he is different as a scholar and can maintain his aloofness."

    "There are countless scholars like this throughout the ages. Even thousands of years later, people like this will continue to emerge."

    "But Xishan Academy advocates new learning, and I also discovered that some students in Xishan Academy began to behave like this. I was very sad about this. Real university studies should be simple.  If a true scholar is truly benevolent and righteous, he should explain this complex phenomenon in the simplest terms, because only in this way can more people be aware of this phenomenon and understand these principles, which can benefit the world.  Such a person actually considers himself a disciple of a saint, prides himself on his character, assumes a superior attitude, and ridicules and ridicules his subordinates. The latter bluntly says that such people are just a group of blood-sucking bugs, selfish.  Self-interest is worse than pigs and dogs, and they are just pests under the sect of a saint."

    Emperor Hongzhi listened quietly, but began to think.

    Listening to these words, he didn't feel happy at all, but at this moment, what he was thinking about waswhether he had seen this before or had experienced such a phenomenon.

    The new ministers were so excited that they could hardly control themselves.

    Even Ouyang Zhi, who was belatedly aware of it, tasted it carefully and suddenly his face turned red.

    They were ashamed. Many people had felt saddened by Fang Jifan's book because of the Ming Dynasty. They always felt that it was inexplicable that Fang Jifan published this book.

    And noweverything is clear.

    This is the way of the sages that the new learning pursues.

    Fang Jifan added at this time: "My son said these people are pigs and dogs, which is quite polite. If I had been a boy with such a hot temper, I would have wanted to beat him to death if he saw such a mysterious person.  These people who live in temples can obviously speak human language, but what they spew out is a lot of specious lies, such as Zhou Tanzhi, Minister of Rites of Nanjing, Zhou Shangshu, do you think what I said is right?  ?¡±
