Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 297 Everything Before I Was Born Is Taken for granted
The ideological debate between Su Jing and Song Lian did not last long.

After all, this kind of thing cannot be changed in a few words.

That is to say, the emperor of Ming Dynasty was Zhu Yuanzhang, so Su Jing dared to say so many reasons.

A scholar like Song Lian is basically overwhelmed.

"Okay, Master Song, try again."

Su Jing adjusted the prescription of the lens again, and handed the lens to Song Lian.

As soon as Song Lian put the lens in front of his eyes, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "I can see it! Uncle Renyuan, I can really see clearly!"

Su Jing breathed a sigh of relief. After adjusting for a long time, he finally settled the matter of the lens.

"Okay, please wait a moment, Mr. Song, until I polish the other lens and add the frame to the glasses, then the glasses are ready."

Su Jing said lightly.

Song Lian immediately said: "Uncle Renyuan, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

He was still immersed in the shock of seeing the glasses, even though he had heard Liu Bowen say it, and Zhu Biao explained the principle in detail.

But no matter how much you listen to, how can you be more shocked by your own personal experience?

Su Jing didn't reply to Song Lian's words, and started to seriously polish the second lens.

This kind of thing that requires concentration cannot be distracted.

"Master Song, students think that reading is for understanding, and understanding is not the only way to study. Master Su said that everything in the world has reason, and the meaning of science lies in discovering and summarizing, and applying these principles to our life. in life."

Zhu Biao said to Song Lian.

He has been listening to the debate between Su Jing and Song Lian on studying, and naturally he has his own ideas, but because Su Jing and Song Lian are both his teachers, he just didn't interrupt.

Now that he had the opportunity to speak, he naturally expressed his views immediately.

Song Lian turned to look at Zhu Biao, the prince, and replied: "Perhaps Uncle Renyuan is right, but to me, science is invisible after all, and the words of sages and sages are the most reasonable."

Song Lian didn't refute Zhu Biao's words, but he still expressed his attitude.

Zhu Biao was helpless, he couldn't understand.

Obviously, in his opinion, Su Jing has already explained science and reading quite clearly, so why can't Song Lian accept it?

Are these things so unacceptable?
Song Lian is not an uneducated commoner, he is a well-educated bachelor, it shouldn't be!

"Niu Yi, there's no need to say so much. There's a saying you may not have heard before. Let me tell you now."

Su Jing's words sounded: "Everything invented before I was born is taken for granted; everything invented between the ages of 15-35 is destined to change the world; everything invented after I am 35 years old It's against humanity."

Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment, and then began to smack at what Su Jing said.

It is interesting!
Although it sounds very simple, but when you think about it carefully, it contains quite a lot of philosophy in it.

Song Lian is also seriously thinking about Su Jing's words. Although he is a Confucian scholar, his literary level is quite high, but in terms of philosophical attainments, Song Lian is also not low.

Song Lian has a deep research on the thoughts of Buddhism and Taoism.

Therefore, just after Su Jing said this sentence, he immediately understood the meaning.

People of different ages accept changes differently.

In other words, the essence of human beings is a process of gradual solidification. The older the person, the lower their acceptance of new things will be.

"Thank you, Master Su, for clarifying the confusion, the students understand."

Zhu Biao cupped his hands towards Su Jing, with a relieved look on his face.

Su Jing's words made him understand why Song Lian couldn't understand him.

Song Lian looked at Su Jing and said, "Uncle Renyuan, do you think the old man has reached the point where he cannot accept new things?"

Su Jing smiled and said: "Master Song, when you ask this question, you will actually have the answer."

Whether Song Lian can accept new things and new ideas is really obvious.

After Su Jing said this, Song Lian immediately fell silent.

He may be stubborn, but he is not a stupid paranoid person, nor is he a person who does not know how to think.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang brought him to the Niu Mansion, Song Lian had already begun to resist in his heart just after learning about vocational education from Zhu Yuanzhang before he even came to see Su Jing.

Everything has already had a preconceived impression.

As long as the thought is contrary to the traditional thought he accepts, it is incorrect and cannot be accepted.

And when he was young and just started studying, he had an attitude of accepting and accepting any new thoughts and things.

Song Lian has already realized the changes.

"What Uncle Renyuan said made this old man so enlightened, it's because this old man is standing on his laurels."

Song Lian looked at Su Jing and thanked him seriously.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Master Song, there is a saying that knowing is difficult and doing is easy. The truth I have learned is just a superficial truth, but it is very difficult to really do it. Master Song doesn't have to give birth What other ideas come, after all, most people are like this, even if I am decades later, I may not be better than you, Mr. Song."

Everyone knows the truth, but who can do it?

Su Jing didn't feel that he was a saint, and many things in this world happened like this.

It's just that Song Lian, who heard this, looked at Su Jing with even more reverence.

"This old man wants to apologize to Mr. Su. It's because I underestimated Mr. Su, thinking that Mr. Su is just a young man, and some of them are just whimsical. Now it seems that this old man is a frog in the bottom of a well."

Song Lian bowed to Su Jing seriously again.

To despise a young man is a mistake many people make.

Even though Su Jing is already well-known, but at the first meeting, it is inevitable that there will be some superficial impressions.

Song Lian realized that he still underestimated Su Jing, which was a big mistake.

It can be seen from the fact that Su Jing has always been called Uncle Ren Yuan. This is the earl bestowed on Su Jing by Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is also Song Lian who believes that Su Jing has his current status only because of Zhu Yuanzhang's liking.

But now, he has thrown away this idea, so his address to Su Jing has also become Mr. Su.

Su Jing didn't answer, and said directly to Zhu Biao who was at the side: "Niu Yi, find a piece of wood, it doesn't have to be too big, I'll use it as a mirror frame."

"Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Biao nodded, then turned around and went to look for the board.

"Master Song, I'll finish the glasses soon and the gossip is almost done, let's get to the point."

Su Jing looked at Song Lian with a smile and said.

He felt that chatting with Song Lian was quite boring. Song Lian was too reserved, so he chatted casually, which seemed disrespectful.

Let's talk formally, it's too tiring.

Let's be direct, and it's the easiest thing to say.

"Okay, Mr. Su, let's talk about how to establish and implement the imperial examination education system."

Song Lian nodded and immediately entered the working state.

In the following days, Song Lian went back and forth between the Imperial Academy and the Niu Mansion every day.

That's right, Song Lian, the editor of "Yuan History", still had to preside over it, and he had to participate in how to improve the imperial examination here.

Lao Zhu has such a characteristic in employing people, as long as he can't use them to death, he will use them to death.

Even at Song Lian's age, he still didn't receive any preferential treatment from Zhu Yuanzhang.

And Song Lian's recent behavior was also noticed by officials above the court.

Especially Yang Xian.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded him for asking about Su Jing that day, Yang Xian became more concerned about Su Jing in his heart.

Outside the Imperial Academy.

Yang Xian came slowly and greeted several Hanlin scholars one by one.

After all, he is an official of Zhongshu Province, and this Yang Xian is quite familiar to most of the officials.

"Song Chengzhi, is there any trouble?"

As soon as Yang Xian saw Song Lian, he immediately said with a smile.

In terms of official rank, Yang Xian is higher than Song Lian at the moment, but with Yang Xian's attitude, at first glance, it seems that he is the lower official.

This is Yang Xian, even though he already has an extremely strong desire in his heart at this moment, he can still make people invisible in his performance.

In a sense, Yang Xian and Hu Weiyong are very similar people.

"Master Yang, why are you here? Could it be that His Majesty has some orders?"

Song Lian asked Yang Xian.

The fact that Yang Xian is deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang is basically known to all officials. Although it is incomparable with the favor received by Su Jing, it is much higher than other people.

"No, no, Song Chengzhi, I just came to see you by myself, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty."

Yang Xian said immediately.

Working under the banner of Zhu Yuanzhang, Yang Xian still wouldn't be able to do it at this moment.

Song Lian asked suspiciously, "Then why did Master Yang come to me?"

For an important minister like Yang Xian, it is impossible for him to hang out in the Imperial Academy if he has nothing to do.

Yang Xian paused, glanced left and right and asked, "Song Chengzhi, have you often seen Uncle Renyuan recently?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang told Yang Xian not to inquire about Su Jing's affairs, Yang Xianyang's ability to obey the law was not small, and he never gave up inquiring about Su Jing's affairs.

However, there are very few things that can be inquired about.

Originally, he didn't intend to ask Song Lian, but when he thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's reprimand that day, Yang Xian thought that Su Jing was his biggest obstacle at the moment.

That's right, since Li Shanchang fell ill, Yang Xian has given up targeting Li Shanchang.

In other words, temporarily shifted the main target to Su Jing.

"I don't know why Master Yang asked this matter?"

Song Lian didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

Don't look at Song Lian as an old pedant, but being able to teach Zhu Biao under Lao Zhu for many years, it is impossible to have no political IQ at all.

Su Jing is Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted person now, and Song Lian will not disclose any news if nothing happens.

After all, even when Zhu Yuanzhang took him to see Su Jing, he didn't take the initiative to reveal the identity of the Son of Heaven.

Song Lian was clear about this matter, not to mention that Song Lian was still wearing the glasses made by Su Jing in his eyes at this time.

Yang Xian had expected Song Lian's doubts.

He immediately said: "Song Chengzhi, it's like this. You also know that it has been more than a month since Uncle Renyuan was knighted, and he still hasn't seen anyone. His Majesty's knighthood order is still It has to be promulgated by the Ministry of Education, and the process still has to go through."

Yang Xian was well prepared and directly moved the Zhongshu Province out.

The so-called Zhongshu Province, according to Su Jing's previous life, is probably the GW Academy, which is responsible for drafting and issuing the emperor's edict.

That is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang's various edicts, in theory, have to go out of the Zhongshu Province before they can be regarded as formally effective.

Of course, this is a theory. In fact, what Lao Zhu said directly is much more effective than Zhongshu Sheng.

Here, Yang Xian just made an excuse.

The order of knighthood announced by Zhu Yuanzhang in the early court was naturally promulgated by the Ministry of Education, but this was an edict of knighthood, and the object of issuance was Su Jing.

And Su Jing was kept hidden by Zhu Yuanzhang, not to mention the officials of the Ministry of Education, few civil and military officials saw Su Jing.

The knighthood edict issued to Su Jing has been backlogged in Zhongshu Province.

This reason is very politically correct.

Even if Lao Zhu found out later, Yang Xian could easily explain it.

"So that's the case, but Mr. Yang should not come to me for this matter, but should go to His Majesty."

Unfortunately, Song Lian's answer was not what Yang Xian wanted at all.

He didn't mention Su Jing's matter at all, and sent Yang Xian to find Lao Zhu directly.

Just kidding, Song Lian has now fully recognized Su Jing's position in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, Yang Xian's clichés are useless to him at all.

Yang Xian's face was slightly rippling, but he still maintained a smile and said: "Since it is inconvenient for Song Chengzhi to say it, then I will not force it. Your Majesty is also quite concerned about your work, Mr. Song. If you continue to work hard, Mr. Song, I will not bother you." .”

After speaking, Yang Xian turned and left without waiting for Song Lian to reply.

Song Lian looked at Yang Xian's leaving back, his mind moved slightly, Yang Xian asked about Su Jing's affairs, why did this matter feel a bit strange.

At this moment, Yang Xian, who left from the Hanlin Academy, completely sank.

These days, he made many inquiries and learned that Su Jing first went to the Baoyuan Bureau to stay for a while, and then went to the Agricultural College.

As for what he did, who he met, and what Zhu Yuanzhang ordered, he didn't know anything.

This feeling made Yang Xian very uncomfortable.

Because he was so trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang back then, no one else knew what he did except him and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Therefore, at this moment, Yang Xian believes that Su Jing is a huge threat to his continued upward climb.

How should I inquire about Su Jing?
This matter became a big problem in Yang Xian's mind.

As for Su Jing at this moment, based on his memory of compulsory education in his previous life, he began to continue to contribute to the reform of the imperial examination system.

The imperial examination must be changed, but Su Jing always felt that it was not an easy task how to change it to achieve his goal.

Even though Lao Zhu, who has been fooled by the education system in his previous life, is almost lame, but the times are different, the development is different, the concepts and thoughts are different, and copying it is definitely not enough.

Difficult!
Although Song Lian, an old scholar, presided over the reform of the imperial examination system, it was still difficult to change his thinking. Many things went to the old road before he talked.

But at this moment in Fengxian Hall, Lao Zhu was already a little upset by the backlog of memorials.

What Wang Guangyang did did not improve at all.
