After hearing what Su Ze had said, Magistrate Zhao was sweating all over his body.
The reason why he broke out in a cold sweat was precisely because what Su Ze said was so good!
Originally, Su Ze said that he wanted to give lectures in Taizhou. Magistrate Zhao just thought it was because of the youthful spirit. Since Su Ze helped him calm down his heart and was the future son-in-law of Fang Wanghai, he agreed to his request.
But when Su Ze finished speaking, as a scholar, Zhifu Zhao felt so happy all over his body, and he felt like he would die if he heard the truth in the morning.
But as an official, Magistrate Zhao felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat because Su Ze's theory was too dangerous!
If farmers, woodcutters, craftsmen, and businessmen all gather together, how will the government manage it?
Magistrate Zhao knew very well that if there were individual people, it would be very easy for the government to control them.
But once the people gather together, it becomes a quite terrifying force.
If Su Ze's theory really spreads in Taizhou, what will he, the prefect of Taizhou, face in the future?
Magistrate Zhao stood up bravely and said:
"I dare to ask Su Sheng, what should we do if someone uses gathering virtue as an excuse to gather people in Xiaoshan Forest as a place of disaster?"
Magistrate Zhao had no choice but to take a stand. If something happened to Taizhou Mansion in the future, he, the magistrate, would be held responsible.
Magistrate Zhao now regrets so much why he agreed to Su Ze's request to give lectures!
You are a scholar, why are you so knowledgeable?
Magistrate Zhao is about to collapse. A twenty-year-old Jinshi is not uncommon, but a twenty-year-old Confucian scholar is really rare.
The Ming Dynasty never lacked geniuses, but there were only a few great Confucians in a dynasty. Wang Yangming was already in his forties when he rose to fame!
This is too unreasonable!
Governor Zhao must find the loopholes in Su Ze's theory, otherwise if his theory spreads in the future, all of them will be supported by Governor Zhao.
Although Magistrate Zhao does not think that someone like Su Ze will rebel, if his knowledge leads the people to rebel, he will be implicated too!
Su Ze smiled and said:
"Lord Futai, you are too worried! The morals I talk about are exactly what Taizu promoted! The common people gathering together to study were also advocated by the sages of the past dynasties."
Magistrate Zhao was stunned. When had Taizu ever said such a thing!
I just wanted to reprimand Su Ze for talking nonsense.
Su Ze said:
"Master Futai, have you ever heard of the 'township agreement'?"
Magistrate Zhao was stunned.
Su Ze ignored him and continued:
"Lü Dafang, a Confucian of the Song Dynasty, once wrote the "Lu Family Covenant", calling on "township people to meet each other and encourage small kindnesses." He used the Lu family covenant to encourage fellow villagers to be virtuous. Later, Zhu Zi personally wrote the "Supplement to the Lu Family Covenant" Township Covenant", calling on villagers to gather together to do good deeds."
"During the Hongwu period, Taizu also promoted rural covenants across the country, but at that time, everything was waiting to be done and we could not give up."
"When Mr. Yangming was here, Mr. Yangming personally made the "Southern Ganxi Township Covenant" and implemented the Township Covenant to educate the people in Nangan. The imperial court also praised him."
Magistrate Zhao was stunned.
Everyone present was stunned.
Su Ze moved out Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming all at once. How could he still fight?
Governor Zhao can't say that the previous few are wrong, can he?
Then Magistrate Zhao might not be able to leave Chongru Temple.
Magistrate Zhao was speechless, Su Ze continued:
"If everyone wants to practice 'public morals', they can make a township convention and gather somewhere regularly. They can elect a leader to be the leader and convener of each township convention."
"After making an appointment for three more chapters and discussing the rules together, we can start cultivating the Tao."
Everyone below nodded, and people like Zhu Shu almost immediately went to call on their colleagues.
In fact, after Wang Gen's theory was suppressed by the government, Zhu Shu did not choose to continue teaching like Wang Gen's disciple Yan Jun because of his status as a woodcutter.
As a lower class commoner, Zhu Shu already understood the situation of the Taizhou School and would never be accepted by the rulers.
With the death of Wang Gen, the master of the sect, most of the followers of the Taizhou School returned to their own lives. The vigorous ideological enlightenment seemed to be a beautiful dream in the past, which disappeared when the government banned learning.
Zhu Shu hid in the mountains and never told anyone about Wang Gen's scholarship. The saying that common people's daily use is the Tao has become a taboo slogan in Taizhou City.
But after listening to Su Ze's lecture today, Zhu Shu suddenly understood something:
Mr. Shinsai’s knowledge is correct! What is wrong is the way to practice knowledge!
If colleagues can be gathered together to study intensively, how can the government ban learning?
The power of the woodcutter Zhu Shu is naturally weak, but if 110,000 woodcutters gather together, how can the government suppress them?
After understanding this, Zhu Shu couldn't wait to go back immediately, organize the rural woodcutter to sign a rural agreement, and learn Su Ze's method of "all morals" together!
Zhu Shu even thought that the "people are the foundation of the country" that Wang Gen said back then could be implemented in this way.
Even if an ordinary citizen shouts "the people are more important than the king", it is useless. An ordinary citizen can take it with just a yamen servant and beat him to death with just a wooden board.
But what if thousands of ordinary people gather together? That is not something that a few government officials can take. On the contrary, the government officials are even more afraid when they see the people gathered together.
Zhu Shu suddenly understood a lot of things, and he bowed respectfully to Su Ze.
As Zhu Shu bowed like this, other people present also bowed to Su Ze. Starting from the inner circle of people near the Chongru Temple, people in circles bowed respectfully to Su Ze.
Su Ze stood up and saluted everyone. At this time, only Magistrate Zhao was still standing in front of the Chongru Temple.
Magistrate Zhao's undershirt was already soaked, and he also felt tremendous pressure at this time.
If he doesn't worship today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to continue to be the magistrate of Taizhou in the future.
If he bows today, I am afraid he will be impeached by the official for doing this in the future.
Fang Wanghai, what kind of evil son-in-law have you found?
Magistrate Zhao still couldn't hold his back, so he bowed to Su Ze, and then left in a hurry with his subordinates.
Li Zhi and others looked at Su Ze, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
What is this place? This is the Confucian Temple where Mr. Xinzhai Wang Gen lectures! This is the place where Taizhou School thrives!
There were people in this square who had listened to Wang Gen's lectures, and many people had also listened to Wang Gen's disciples' lectures.
The end of this lecture meant that a new great Confucian was born. Now under the Taizhou School, there is another school of "all morals".
And Su Ze is the master of this school!
Start a sect!
Seeing a great Confucian establish a sect with his own eyes made Li Zhi and others feel like they were participating in the historical process!
Thinking about Su Ze's age, Xu Shixing felt even more horrified.
Su Ze is only in his twenties. As long as he is alive, his scholarship can continue to spread!
What is the concept of a twenty-year-old scholar!
Xu Shixing did not see the era when Wang Yangming suppressed the world and Xinxue flourished.
But now that Xu Shixing saw Su Ze in the crowd, it was as if he saw the rise of a new saint.
In this way, Su Ze was left alone by everyone, asking all the cultivators moral questions, and Su Ze answered them one by one.
When the sun went down, the people watching dispersed.
An old monk waited until everyone dispersed and then said to Su Ze:
"I'm Jianyuan, the abbot of Guangxiao Temple next door. It's getting late. If you don't give up, you can stay in our temple and rest for the night."
Su Ze looked at the ancient temple next to the Chongru Temple, thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, please host it."
Li Zhi and others naturally followed Su Ze into the Zen temple.
After entering the door, I saw that this temple was of extremely high standard, with numerous pagodas inside. It looked like a large temple.
Li Zhi himself was also interested in Buddhism. He looked at the specifications of the palace and said:
"I didn't expect there to be such a big temple in Taizhou?"
Su Ze looked around and said, "This is the specification of a royal temple, but the construction style is not that of this dynasty. Can I ask Zen Master Jianyuan if I am right?"
Zen Master Jianyuan immediately said: "Xiangong Su is indeed a great Confucian, and indeed erudite. Our temple was first built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Later, in order to save the souls of the two emperors Hui and Qin, Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, ordered the temple to set up a dojo, and the edict was renamed Baoen. Guangxiao Temple was the royal jungle of the Southern Song Dynasty."
"In order to obtain the imperial edict, I changed the word "repaying a favor" and changed it to "Guangxiao Zen Temple".
Unexpectedly, this temple has such a long history, and everyone was surprised.
Zen Master Jianyuan added: "After listening to Xianggong's words just now, the old monk suddenly had an epiphany and has a few questions that he would like to ask the donor for advice."
Although Su Ze didn't have much favorable impressions of the monk, but seeing that the old monk Jianyuan had a humble attitude and took the initiative to invite him to stay overnight, he nodded and said, "In that case, let's ask the Zen master."
Zen Master Jianyuan asked several more questions in succession, and Su Ze answered them one by one. He suddenly said:
"Su Xianggong's theory is to unite all virtues, doesn't it also need to unite all interests? If all interests come together, won't the world be in chaos?"
Su Ze looked at the old Zen master in surprise. He didn't expect this monk to be so sharp?
Su Ze laughed and said, "I didn't expect that monks also want to talk about profit?"
Zen Master Jianyuan smiled and said: "Why don't you need words and benefits? The yield of the fields under my Zen temple must be calculated, the incense money must be calculated, and the money for lending in the temple's debt treasury must be calculated. To be honest with you, I can't be the host." Accountant."
Zen Master Jianyuan continued: "In the peaceful place of Buddhism, if one counts all the benefits, there will be chaos. If everyone counts the benefits again, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
Su Ze didn't expect the old monk to be so straightforward, and everyone looked at Su Ze.
Su Ze said: "The benefits in the world, whether spoken or not, cannot be increased or lost even half a cent. People in the world are ashamed to talk about benefits, but this benefit must be divided."
"The abbot actually said that the loan will be repaid to the treasury. If the benefits for the noble temple are more, the benefits for the common people will be less. If there are more temples in the world, the benefits for the people will be even less. When the people can no longer live without benefits, then It’s the world that is in chaos.”
Zen Master Jianyuan put his hands together and said: "Our Guangxiao Temple's debt repayment treasury does not require interest, but Su Xianggong's statement is also correct. The interests of the world are here. If the big families get too much, the small people will have no livelihood, and the world will be in chaos. "
Zen Master Jianyuan said: "After listening to Xianggong Su's knowledge, the old monk has decided to resign from his position as host and prepare to travel around the world."
Su Ze looked at the monk. Zen Master Jianyuan untied his cassock and said:
"After hearing Xianggong Su's words, I am ready to return to secular life! Go and practice Xianggong Su's morals in the world of mortals."
After saying this, Zen Master Jianyuan strode away like this. Su Ze and everyone looked at each other in shock.
It is said that there were many crazy monks in the Ming Dynasty, but I never expected that the abbot of such a large temple could be so "willful" and take off his cassock to return to secular life.
Everyone stayed overnight in Guangxiao Temple. The next day, Su Ze went to several places near Taizhou to give lectures. As a result, the crowds were empty. Those who listened to the lecture even followed him all the way from Taizhou.
Su Ze simply set up a tent to treat patients while giving lectures, and took turns brushing up on the two skills. When Su Ze was giving lectures to Huai'an, his medical skills finally reached Level 10.
Only three purple lights flashed past.
Su Ze lamented that his luck was pretty good.
In the game "Hundred Scenes", the passive skills at level 10 are guaranteed to be blue, the passive skills at level 15 are guaranteed to be purple, and the passive skills at level 20 are guaranteed to be gold.
The three purples are beyond the guarantee.
Looking through it, the three skills of medical skills are:
[Purple Passive—Looking, hearing, asking, and understanding: Medical skills +3 when diagnosing, medical skills +3 when writing pulse judgments and symptom prescriptions. 】
[Purple Passive - Prescribe the right medicine: Medical skill +3 when writing prescriptions, medical skill +3 when writing pharmacopoeia and hymns. 】
[Purple Passive - Cure Preventive Disease: Medical Skills +3 when performing preventive health care, +3 Medical Skills when writing health-preserving soup recipes and fitness dramas. 】
Now Su Ze was also confused.
These three medical skills are very useful and correspond to the three directions of diagnosis, treatment and prevention respectively.
Pulse judgment is the formula for diagnosing the pulse. For example, another book by Li Shizhen, "Binhu Pulseology", was actually more highly praised by later generations of doctors. However, because it was too professional, it was far less famous than "Compendium of Materia Medica".
Symptom prescriptions are the same, they are similar to medical books recording symptoms, they are all diagnostic books.
Pharmacopoeia is a book about medicinal decoctions, and gejue is a song that records medicinal prescriptions. They are usually recorded in the form of poetry and rhymes to facilitate dissemination.
In fact, TCM has put a lot of effort into its dissemination. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, TCM theory had also formed the bud of evidence-based medicine that prescribes targeted medicines. Unfortunately, in the era of great development of Western medicine, due to the Qing Dynasty's isolation and technological restrictions, it eventually gradually declined. It was later largely denied during the spread of Western learning eastward in the late Qing Dynasty.
In this day and age, Western medicine is also dominated by herbal medicine and bloodletting, and "trained" doctors have treated countless celebrities to death.
The last preventive science was ruled out by Su Ze first.
Su Ze looked at the two purple skills [Looking, Hearing, Asking, and Understanding] and [Prescribing the right medicine] and hesitated.
