Song Lian's hands and feet felt cold after hearing this, and everyone behind him was even more stunned.
The King of Wu has such a big list. He is going to war with all the literati on his own!
Song Lian pointed at Zhu Jun, "Without scholars like us, how could benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust be spread, how could the world be educated, and how could the world be managed?
In your mouth, we are worthless. "
"How much money does Academician Song have in his family? How many concubines are there in the family? How many people are raised in the house? Do you worry about food and clothing every day?
If I have nothing to do after having enough food every day, and holding two sage books in my hands, I can also point fingers at others.
If I don't have to worry about food and clothing, even if I am a peddler, I can still greet people with a smile every day.
You have the merit of enlightenment, but this merit has never been yours, it is the joint efforts of thousands of people.
You shamelessly recruit these friends to yourselves.
Just because you can speak well and write books, you can spread the word all over the world and take credit for your achievements.
Generals died in hundreds of battles, and soldiers were shrouded in horse leather to resist foreign enemies and restore peace to the country. And then you shamelessly think that this is your own credit?
Do you think this is the result of the imperial examination? "
Song Lian was speechless when asked. Although he was angry, the meaning of Zhu Jun's words left him unable to refute.
“If Daye wants to be strong and prosperous, and if it wants not to follow the old path of other dynasties, it must give more paths to the common people.
We must ensure that the people's rice bowls are secure and their granaries are filled with food.
We must keep our soldiers well-fed and well-fed, and equipped with the most sophisticated weapons in the world.
If we want economic prosperity, we must pay more taxes to the court so that more people can afford to study.
Even if they can't take the imperial examination, they still have to have skills.
There are only a few thousand officials serving my great cause. Do you know how insignificant these few thousand people are compared to the tens of millions of people in the world?
Is it worth it to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses just for the chance of one in tens of thousands? "
Zhu Jun's voice shocked everyone into silence.
Especially those people watching the excitement, this is the first time they know how important they are.
It turns out that literati are just like this.
Think about it, the world is in chaos, what can these powerless scholars do?
Don't you rely on these idiots to conquer the world?
How many talented men are living at home waiting to die, wearing coarse linen and linen clothes every day, and besides having a nice title, they cannot even afford to support their wives and children.
Although they have to work hard every day, they can still feed their family.
Zhu Jun stood up, "The imperial examination has existed for thousands of years, so it is naturally very meaningful, but it is not the only way out.
Everything is inferior, but reading is the best. I agree, but what is the meaning of reading?
It is not about serving the country and the people in an empty manner, but it must be implemented in practice.
If today, I learn the law and seek justice for the people, even if I do not have an official position, I will still be useful and respected by others.
If today, I read the agricultural book and let the people know the twenty-four solar terms, increase the yield of their food crops, and reduce pests, then they will be serving the country and the people.
If today, I forge iron and make better weapons and better farm tools, then I am serving the country and the people.
Ninety-nine percent of people in this world are ordinary people, and all they need is firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea.
Don't talk too much to them.
In my opinion, it is you who really need to be educated.
You just need to read more and know more words.
Which of you can cultivate an acre of land, or build the same perfect tool?
Can't do it?
To be honest, I really don’t despise being the examiner. Even Song Lian, like you, doesn’t like the eight-part essay, so how can I like it?
The things I have to do are beyond your imagination, but my eldest brother is unwell, so I must help him keep a check.
Of course, I don’t have any great talents, but if you say that you are talented in writing gorgeous articles, or writing poems and lyrics, then you can do whatever you want.
Fang Keqin is right, as long as talents are beneficial to the country and the people, they are talents.
And these talents do not need to be defined by literati.
You just know how to write, that's all.
Do you think it’s because people don’t want to learn? It’s because they don’t have the conditions! "
With that said, Zhu Jun turned around and walked into Prince Wu's Mansion.
Li Shanren also stood up and said: "Scholar Song, you are also the initiator of the One Lineage theory, but now it seems that your theory has not been studied thoroughly, and it seems to have deviated from the core.
If you are just teaching, then concentrate on teaching and don't look around, as it is very likely that both ends will not be settled at that time! "
With that said, he turned around and walked towards Endeavor Hall!
Li Yanxi also stood up and looked at the crowd and said: "You are still arguing about your own opinions, but His Highness is looking at the century of the dynasty. Scholar Song criticized the Eight-Part Part Essay, but it was just a criticism. He earned himself a reputation as a boss, but the Eight-Part Part Essay was still Eight-legged essay.
Is the imperial examination an imperial examination for literati?
No, it should be an imperial examination for everyone in the world.
Your Majesty allows it, the Prince allows it, and the people allow it, but you don’t allow it.
Only you know what you think.
We have different ways, so we don’t want to conspire with each other. You all can do your own thing! "
Fang Keqin sighed. Facing His Highness, they were so far apart that they were barely worthy of carrying shoes.
His Highness's logic is to identify problems, solve them, and come up with sustainable development methods.
The logic of these people is to find the problem and solve the problem.
What they care about has always been one family at a time, and they have never cared about the whole world.
"The difference is too far and cannot be compared at all. However, there was a time when we, Kachin, were not one of you.
Bend down and do something practical with your feet on the ground.
I learned a saying from His Highness King Wu: Empty talk will harm the country, but hard work will make it prosperous.
Whether it is academic bottoming or practical action, you are all too far behind.
If I were you, if you still have the dignity to come here and ask questions, go back! "Fang Keqin dusted himself off and entered Prince Wu's Mansion without looking back.
Fang Xiaozhi said to all the people: "Everyone, how is your highness? The people of Fengyang know that our highness never speaks big words, and always does what he says.
It's getting late, please come back! "
"Well said, His Highness King Wu has both political integrity and talent. I won't be convinced by whoever is the examiner, but I am most convinced by him!"
"I'm convinced!"
"I'm convinced too!"
The voices of everyone gathered together, like a knife piercing the hearts of Song Lian and others, making their faces turn pale.
Lost, completely lost.
They were completely defeated in every aspect.
Because they have achieved results through hard work, what can you say about them?
Have they achieved anything else?
not at all!
Listening to the people's curses, Song Lian couldn't take a breath and passed out directly!
