Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 469 Another enlightened person, Zheng Hong: "I forbid you to slander Yuanfu like this!"

Zheng Hong was stunned!
He felt that his three views had been greatly impacted.

Starving to death is a small matter, but loss of integrity is a big thing!
These are the words of a sage, how could this be wrong?
You changed your surname just for five acres of land?

The violent beating made Zheng Hong feel that his body and spirit had been greatly impacted, but he passed out.

When I woke up, it was already full of stars.

Zheng Hong felt that his throat was a little dry, and when he turned his head, he saw Gu Yanwu looking at him: "Wake up!"

"Where am I?" Zheng Hong couldn't help asking.

"We are still in the farm!" Gu Yanwu handed Zheng Hong a bowl of porridge, and said with a smile, "Try it, this is the porridge from the farm!"

Zheng Hong looked at the porridge in his hand.

The man fell into silence, he glanced at Gu Yanwu and asked, "Gu Yanwu, have you ever experienced hunger?"

Gu Yanwu was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Yes, my widowed mother is the daughter of Wang Yu. She is 16 years old and unmarried. She spins during the day and teaches me to read at night. It is not uncommon for her to not have enough to eat!"

"Then, let me ask you, if you were given five acres of fertile land, would you be willing to change your surname?" Zheng Hong asked.

"This!"

Gu Yanwu smiled wryly and said: "Thinking about it, I won't change it, but my situation is quite different from these people. Although I don't have enough to eat, I can still eat something. These people may not even be able to eat. , I am not them, and I don't know if I would choose to change my surname if I were like them!"

Zheng Hong gritted his teeth and put the gruel in his hand on the ground: "I won't drink this porridge anymore!"

Speaking of this, Zheng Hong said: "Since this is the case, then, I will have a good experience of what this hunger is like!"

Zheng Hong's family is well-off, but he has never experienced what it is like to be hungry. His behavior really surprised Gu Yanwu: "Don't eat? What is it like to be hungry?"

"That's fine!" Gu Yanwu didn't say much, just nodded: "You can do whatever you want!"

Gu Yanwu drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, and then started reading by the faint candlelight. Zheng Hong asked, "What book are you reading?"

"materialism!"

Gu Yanwu said slowly, "Yuanfu wrote a new article!"

"What article?" Zheng Hong couldn't help asking.

"No investigation, no right to speak!" Gu Yanwu said slowly: "Yuanfu believes that investigating problems is solving problems. During the investigation process, we will find out where the problems are, and then we can solve them. !"

Speaking of this, Gu Yanwu smiled and said: "The most terrifying thing is to hold a book and think that what the sage said is correct. If you leave the actual investigation, you are divorced from reality, and you are idealistic. Then the result will either be opportunities and reckless actions. Sooner or later, it will cause harm to the people. hurt!"

"If the imperial court wants to carry out the reform, first of all, we have to investigate and conduct investigations in order to get the right ideas, and then formulate the correct national policies. If the students of Datong want to really do things for the people, then they must deeply Learn about Daming's situation!"

In the past, Zheng Hong naturally sneered at Zhang Haogu's article.

This is a treacherous minister, what reason can he say?
But now, Zheng Hong deeply felt that what Zhang Haogu said seemed to be reasonable. Did he just wishful thinking that the Kong family was persecuted by Zhang Haogu, so he chose to change his surname? ?
In the end, it was because of my own blindness that I received this beating.

Thinking about it again, is this five acres of land really that important?

I still have a lot of land in my family, and my family is well-off, so I don't think it's important. Although Gu Yanwu said that it is common to be hungry and can't eat enough, he was asked to change his surname for five acres of land. That's also unlikely.

However, these common people are really hungry, and they are often struggling to survive.

In this way, not to mention asking them to give up the Kong surname, even if they have the same surname as cats and dogs, they are very happy.

Zheng Hong really felt hungry.

After not eating for two days, he felt that his body had no strength, and his spirit began to become blurred. His stomach was empty. Although he drank a few sips of water not long ago, he still felt an unprecedented hunger.

On the fourth day, Zheng Hong finally couldn't stand it any longer.

After taking a few sips of porridge, his physical strength began to slowly recover, and he fell into deep thought.

The life in this farm is quite rich. Sometimes, there will be people rehearsing plays to enrich their spiritual life.

Acting on stage, or a bit rough, it can be said that there is nothing you want.

However, when the Huang masters in the play were knocked down, there were still bursts of applause from Bao around.

The entire investigative team is thinking.

They are all hot-blooded youths, the easiest to be used, but, to a certain extent, they are also the group of people with the most dreams and ideals.

If they can be used well, they will be Daming's hope for the future.

A period of suffering was placed in front of Zheng Hong.

Under the condition of hunger, Zheng Hong suddenly realized many truths that he did not feel before.

Gradually, he began to have conversations with Gu Yanwu.

Why, the members of the Kong family are unwilling to change their names to Kong?Was it just that Zhang Haogu gave them five acres of land?No, Zhang Haogu gave more things, labor, education, dignity, and enough spiritual life for them.

This is what Zhang Haogu gave, not just five acres of land, but to tell them that this land is yours, it is the income you get from your own labor, and you should enjoy it.

Right?

Zheng Hong felt that this was correct, the guys in the Confucian Mansion were really bad, they were simply beasts.

In half a month, Zheng Hong understood.

He began to read Zhang Haogu's materialism seriously, and a group of people got together to discuss it.

Zhang Haogu was right, the Confucian government should be overthrown.

When I returned to the post house again, it had been renamed Xue Er Guan, and I very much welcome this group of scholars from other places.

Then, Zheng Hong heard someone utter nonsense: "Zhang Haogu is such a villainous villain, we will join hands to put pressure on Zhang Haogu, so that he can know the integrity and strength of our scholars!"

This is a new batch of scholars, gathered here again.

"Fart!" Zheng Hong said loudly, "I don't allow you to insult Yuanfu like this!"
