Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 252 Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color did not change

  Liu Jian's mood is extremely complicated.

  He faintly felt that this...was a bit degrading.

  Historically, it is unprecedented for scholars to participate in farming... After all, it is almost the same for scholars in the imperial court to persuade farmers.

   After all, all things are inferior, but reading is high. In the eyes of many people, farming is indeed an extremely disgraceful thing.

Just like the Confucian shirt, the wide gown, the long sleeves, how elegant, and this kind of clothing is suitable for people who are not working hard, those scholars who are farming, soon feel that the big sleeves are in the way When the **** went down, the big sleeve fell directly to the ground, and it was immediately dirty.

  The long ruqun skirt made them look extra funny when they were farming.

   "Father, are they plowing the land?" Liu Jie frowned.

   "Yes, they are plowing the land!" Liu Jian strengthened his tone.

   "It's really insulting to gentleness." Liu Jie couldn't help feeling.

  This sentence is the same as Liu Jian's first thought.

But he was silent and didn't say anything, because... this is indeed degrading, but seeing Wang Shouren plowing hard, other people also bent down to **** the ground one after another, and even His Royal Highness was more serious, as if he didn't want to. As if admitting defeat, he waved his **** vigorously.

  Liu Jian looked at the group of scholars waving hoes for a long time, and suddenly said: "Liu Jie..."

   "What is your father's command?"

   "You go too."

   "What:" Liu Jie was taken aback, with a look of surprise on his face: "Father..."

  Liu Jian said with an unquestionable look: "The prince can go, the Hanlin can go, the Jinshi can go, the recruiter can go, you are a scholar, what can't you do?"

   "Prince..."

  Liu Jian knew he had made a slip of the tongue: "You go."

  Liu Jie had no choice but to go there disgruntled.

   It won't be long before everyone is too tired to stand up straight.

Only half an hour, no, it was less than half an hour, the sweaty scholars seemed to have walked through hell, all of them were pale, their arms and legs were trembling, and some even couldn't stand it, so they slapped their buttocks. Sitting on the field ridge without image, wiping the sweat with the sweat towel around his neck.

  Zhu Houzhao never expected that this seemingly easy swinging of a **** would be so difficult. It was even more painful than when he first learned to ride a horse and archery.

   But he gritted his teeth and still didn't believe it. He couldn't do this?

  Young people are unwilling to admit defeat.

  Naturally, there are more scholars who are still persisting, because in the front, Wang Shouren left their backs, still turning up pieces of land at a leisurely pace.

   But the farmers in the distance felt sorry, someone ran over and said: "You are all Wenqu stars in the sky, why bother to suffer, we..."

  Wang Shouren stood up straight now, looking back, he seemed calm and composed. Obviously, he had practiced recently.

  As soon as Wang Shouren stopped, everyone rushed forward.

  Wang Shouren dropped two words: "Continue."

  Continue to...Continue...

   A group of people turned their backs on their backs, and some people already wanted to retreat, but they couldn't save face, so they had to drag their tired bodies and continue to plow the ground with a **** on their shoulders.

   After an hour, a farmer brought tea and steamed cakes.

Although the nobles eat three meals a day, the peasants eat two meals a day. They don’t have breakfast at all. In the fields, it is even more impossible to go back to light a fire and make a meal at noon. I can't afford to delay this time. Therefore, at noon, it is the same as the breakfast of ordinary nobles. I will ask my family to bring some cold tea and steamed cakes to barely fill my stomach. I will not return until dark. .

  As soon as the steamed cakes and tea were delivered, they were immediately surrounded by a group of scholars.

  Steam cakes, which are not rare for everyone, are now very popular.

   I'm really hungry.

  At this moment, he couldn't care less about being gentle, so he grabbed the steamed cake in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

  Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth, sneaked into the crowd, and got one too. After eating it, he suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.

  Steamed cakes are so delicious, why haven't I found such delicious things before?

   All the cooks in the Eastern Palace should be killed!

Wang Shouren still kept his composure, sitting on the side of the field, and slowly finished eating a steamed cake, but he was sweating all over, so he wiped it with a sweat towel, put down the bamboo hat, and then, miraculously, he conceived Pulled out a book.

   That's right...

  Actually, at this time, everyone is tired and hungry. Even those who want to make trouble now don’t have the time to think about what Cheng Zhu is, what is the study of things, and what is the truth.

But Wang Shouren did take out a book and read it aloud: "To do good but not to teach is to persuade. It is said that the king can promote and use good people, put them in positions, teach those who are incompetent, and make them talented. Encouraging each other is good, farmers are the foundation of all industries, if agriculture prospers, all industries prosper, if agriculture declines, the world will prosper, and it will not be long..."

   "..."

   Liu Jian listened to Wang Shouren's reading aloud from a distance. He actually... was familiar with this article.

   Suddenly, he recalled that this article was from the year before last. Because of the disaster in Huaibei, the imperial court issued a book on Huaibei to encourage agriculture in the name of the cabinet under his own account in order to encourage Huaibei to resume production.

  Liu Jian even remembered that he had personally grasped this article, ordered Hanlin to write it, and three cabinet scholars personally reviewed and revised it, and then submitted it to His Majesty, who nodded in approval.

   No wonder...so familiar...

   Yes, yes, after plowing, take out the books on persuading farmers to read, entertaining and entertaining, this method is very novel.

   No, is this entertaining and educational? Obviously it is teaching through suffering.

  Only Fang Jifan has so many ghost ideas. Come to think of it... this must be Fang Jifan's ghost idea.

  Liu Jian couldn't help smiling. He couldn't help but took a few steps forward and got closer, but he was afraid of being discovered, so he pressed down the hat on his head.

  Ordinary scholars, no one paid any attention to him. They just thought that someone was too old and refused to go to the fields with Mr. Wang, so they watched from the sidelines.

  Wang Shouren finished reading the tens of thousands of words of the article eloquently, then took a sip of cold tea, and said, "Do you know what kind of article this is?"

  Everyone was silent, no one responded.

   "This article is brilliant. It was written by Hanlin and passed down in Huaibei. There are too many painstaking efforts of the imperial court to persuade and promote agriculture. This is a rare masterpiece."

  Wang Shouren smiled.

  The scholars still didn’t respond, while Zhu Houzhao was lying on the ridge of the field, ignoring the muddy ground, eating and drinking enough, with a straw in his mouth, pillows in his hands, leisurely looking up at the clear sky.

  Wang Shouren immediately threw this article aside. This excellent article was soaked in mud like waste paper.

"However, although this article is a good one, it is ridiculous. It is called persuading farmers, but it is empty. The person who wrote the article may not even know what arable land is, but he talks endlessly about farming time, spring plowing, Sowing and harvesting, let me ask you, who of you thinks this article makes sense?"

  Everyone was stunned.

  Suddenly, many people came to their senses.

If it was yesterday, they would not be able to help applauding this article, because the exquisite words used in this article can be called a model, and the diction is beautiful, and a large number of classics are quoted in it, which is really rare Good article.

  Can now...

   Someone gritted their teeth and said: "It is useless except to pile up rhetoric."

"That's right, this kind of text is used for preaching. It's fine for people who don't know it to listen to it. If farmers listen to it, I'm afraid it's a joke. Where can there be such a good seed in the land? He said it." light."

  …

   "..." The smile on Liu Jian's face gradually faded.

He personally reviewed this article, and thought it was very good at the time. Using this article to persuade farmers shows that the imperial court cares about farming. He thought that the people in Huaibei should at least take a bath consciously after listening to it. Got grace.

  So when Wang Shouren took out this article while he was in farming, he thought that Wang Shouren was after farming, and he used this article to promote farming as the foundation. So he couldn't help smiling. After all, here, hearing an article related to this article is really a pleasant thing.

  But who knew...it was a negative teaching material.

  Liu Jian's face slightly pulled down.

  He hoped that someone would stand up and refute Wang Shouren's point of view.

   But... obviously he made a mistake.

  Students haven’t cultivated it themselves, but it’s fine. Now that they have actually worked in the field and tried the hardships of farming, listening to this article again makes them feel particularly harsh.

Someone couldn't help but said: "This guy doesn't feel pain in his back when he stands and talks. This kind of person who can't distinguish the five grains and doesn't work hard comes to persuade the farmers and writes such ridiculous articles. He is still complacent and complacent. The imperial court used it as a model, which really makes people laugh out loud."

   "It's no exaggeration to say it's persuading farmers, it's harming them!" This time, it was Liu Jie who felt the same way.

  Liu Jie felt that he was about to die, and the panting sound was like a bellows.

   The more he felt that his waist was going to be broken, the angrier he became. I feel that this article is not trying to persuade myself to work, it is clearly to mock myself.

  Liu Jie even wished to find out the guy who wrote the article, give him a few blows, and tell you to be crazy!

  Zhu Houzhao also heard this article. He was short-tempered and immediately became angry. He turned over and showed a fierce face: "If you don't kill this guy, I will hate me. Where is the person who wrote the article?"

  Liu Jian, who was standing in the distance and watched everyone's reactions, suddenly felt...his face was in hot pain.

  Is this... the book on persuading farmers really wrong? It's pretty good... The writing is brilliant, the allusions are accurate, and it's a rare good article. The most important thing is that this article was selected because I read it wonderfully.

   But looking at a group of scholars, I can’t wait to spit on this persuasive book, and my son is also scolding there...

  It's okay...it's okay...the old man collapsed in front of him, and his color remained unchanged.

  Be self-restraining, don't meet young people!
