Wang Yangming has moved, and he used to live in a small cave, which was cold and damp. Because he often deduced the Book of Changes in the cave, he named the small cave "Playing Yi Wo".

There is a big karst cave on Longgang Mountain, which is called "Yangming Cave" in later generations.

Wang Yangming named it "Yangming Small Cave Heaven", and because it was in the east of "Play Yiwo", it was referred to as "East Cave". Outside the cave, there are several thatched houses built by Miao people for him, called "He Shaoxuan", which are Wang Yangming's bedroom, study and classroom.

At this moment, Wang Yangming did not give a lecture, but was listening to the lecture with a hoe.

While digging the soil, the bandit merchant Fuquan taught in Han and Miao bilingually: "This kind of land, when you look at the sky, you look at the location, and you look at the artificiality. The time of day is the twenty-four solar terms, when to sow and when to harvest, the ancestors have long known. The geographical advantage is not mentioned, there is no geographical advantage on Longgang Mountain, and the harvest of this kind of mountainous land is not good. So we have to look at the artificial, to turn the soil, to dig long, but also to fertilize. You Miao people, you don't know how to be artificial. As soon as the fire was burned, he dug a pit and buried the seeds. This doesn't work, learn to turn the soil with me! ”

This is a wasteland burned by the Miao people for Wang Yangming, and the ground is piled up with plant ashes.

Due to the lack of oxen and iron ploughs, everyone had to dig hard with hoes.

Even the hoe is not enough, and the efficiency of those seedlings holding stone shovels and turning the ground is touching.

Wang Yangming took two servants, imitated the posture of bandits, and learned to farm from scratch. Fortunately, it rained two days ago, and the soil was relatively moist, otherwise people would have been exhausted to death just by turning over the ground.

Shang Fuquan bent down and picked up a few stones, threw them far away, and said, "Stones cannot be left in the soil, but they can be fenced off to make a field boundary." ”

So, Wang Yangming went to pick up stones again.

After doing farm work for a long time, Wang Yangming was so tired that his back hurt, and he sighed: "Who knows that Chinese food is hard work." It is not easy to plough today. ”

This is a wasteland, of course, it is not easy!

Wang Yangming also brought dozens of taels of silver over, and spent a lot of travel expenses all the way. He also has to buy paper and ink, and the price of salt in Guizhou is expensive, at most he can last until next year, and he must learn to farm his own land.

The master and servant slowly ploughed the land here, and a few bandits went to the Miao village to teach the seedlings how to dig latrines and how to compost and ferment - these Miao people everywhere and did not know the value of urinating and urinating.

"Uncle, there are a lot of people here!"

Wang Changxi, who was lazy and resting, suddenly pointed to the bottom of the mountain.

Wang Yangming stood up and looked into the distance, smiled, and bent over again.

About two quarters of an hour later, all the students of Sixue came to the mountain, and Wang Yuan said, "Mr. Yangming, we are here to study. ”

Wang Yangming said: "Let's wait until I finish turning over this land." ”

"This is easy to do," Wang Yuan said to Chen Wenxue and the others, "Brother Zonglu, there are three hoes here, you and a Bai Chang, lead a hundred people, each group of three, and take turns plowing the land for half an hour. Brother Boyuan, Brother Zicang, you and the other five Bai Chang will take the others to carry the stones. There is no limit to this piece of land, and you can pick up stones if it has been burned. ”

"Well said." Chen Wenxue said with a smile.

Wang Yuan also said to all sentient beings: "If anyone is unwilling to work, he can go to the flower album and cancel his name." ”

No one quits.

There are gentlemen, and they also bring their own retinues, and they can hand over the labor tasks to their subordinates to complete.

Chen Wenxue, Tang Yan, Ye Wu, Li Ying and others are the heads of all beings. They take the lead in the work, and the rest have nothing to say, anyway, there are many people and things are done quickly.

Wang Yuan divided each team into a team of ten people, and each team took turns to turn over the ground to pick up stones. This not only keeps things organized, but also improves work efficiency, and prevents indiscriminate trampling of cultivated land that has already been turned over.

Uncle Wang sat down with his waist in his hands, stroked his beard and said, "This is an operator!" ”

Two quarters of an hour later, the uncultivated wasteland had been burned, and the scattered stones on the surface had been picked up. The wasteland that has been cultivated is burned, and the stone pickers wait for the soil turners to dig out the stones, but there are only three hoes.

Wang Yuan shouted, "It's okay." Today's laborer writes down, ploughs again tomorrow, and listens to the teacher's lecture. ”

There was a second-generation military with an attaché, and he suddenly said impatiently: "It's not that troublesome. Chen Yidong, Li Yan, you go dig the ground. Whoever brought his attendant sent one to dig the ground, and the three hoes were divided. We, the students, just listen to Mr. Yangming's lectures! ”

Wang Yangming did not object, but he also did not approve.

The sentient beings sat in the wilderness in a disorderly manner, and some of them even took out the preserved fruits and dried meat, and poured wine in twos and threes, as if they wanted to drink while listening to the lectures.

Wang Yangming did not reprimand, and said loudly: "The beginning is about "University". It is not the new book of Cheng Zhu, but the old book of the previous dynasty. The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. This is a pro, not a new ......"

Song Gongzi stood up suddenly and interrupted: "Mr. Yangming, Zhu Zi said that 'new' here is regarded as 'new', are you wrong?" ”

"That's right," Wang Yangming said with a smile, "The old book was 'close to the people', and I also think it is 'close to the people'." ”

All beings were shocked and dumbfounded.

The first sentence of Wang Yangming's opening speech was on the same page as Zhu Xi, directly refuting Zhu Xi's mistakes.

Moreover, it is still digging the foundation of science!

"Pro" and "new", the difference between one word is very different.

Ming Mingde, close to the people, and stop at perfection, these are the three outlines of Confucianism.

Zhu Xi explained it like this: Everyone has a bright character, which is the principle of heaven and nature. But bright virtue may be blinded, and we should discover it and light it up (Ming Mingde). After attaining the bright character, we also have to guide others so that everyone can attain the bright character (Xinmin). In this way, all things can be perfected, and the unity of personal ideals and social responsibilities can be achieved (ending at perfection).

Wang Yangming, on the other hand, wanted to directly compete for Taoism from the level of the three outlines of Confucianism through the difference between "pro" and "new".

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen people immediately left the table angrily, picked up dry food and water, turned around and went down the mountain. They studied for the purpose of taking the imperial examination, and with Wang Yangming's "fallacies", they would fail 100% of the exams!

As soon as the lecture began, someone left, but Wang Yangming was still calm, smiling and watching them go down the mountain.

Song Gongzi was more serious, he asked: "Zhu Zi has arguments in the later chapter of the article 'As a New People', Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new. How do you prove yourself right? ”

Wang Yangming said with a smile: "Banggi is thousands of miles, but the people stop, what they are talking about is pro." Being a gentleman, stopping at benevolence, is talking about pro. A gentleman is virtuous, and a kiss is a kiss...... The gentleman is virtuous and pro-him. The villain is happy and profitable, and he is still pro. There is a meaning of benevolence, and there is also a new meaning. Since the pro already contains a new meaning, why did Zhu Zi forcibly change it to a new one? ”

"Uh......"

Song Gongzi was directly stupid.

Wang Yangming quoted a large number of original sentences from "University" to argue that it was originally a "pro" word, and it contained two meanings: benevolence and newness. Zhu Xi's forcible change to "new" is unreasonable and unbenevolent!

The beings were in an uproar.

Some people didn't dare to listen anymore and ran away in fright. Because Wang Yangming was very reasonable, they were afraid that they would believe it, which would delay the future imperial examination.

Some people thought about it carefully and fell into a dilemma, not knowing whether they should listen to Wang Yangming or continue to listen to Zhu Xi.

Some people are inexplicably excited, and they have been impressed by Wang Yangming, and they can't wait to follow him in this life.

Wang Yuan thought to himself: "This is the correct way to criticize Zhu Zi, and directly quote Confucian scriptures to refute Zhu Xi." Reasonable, reasonable, and legitimate, who dares to say a word? ”

Even if Zhu Xi came in person, he couldn't say Wang Yangming.

Because Zhu Xi knew that he was wrong, he also specially explained in the annotations of "University", citing "Shangshu" and "Book of Songs" to note for himself. This kind of reference is nonsense, and it is equivalent to trying to modify the formula of a chemical reaction and then use an unrelated physical formula to make an argument.

It's not that Wang Yangming is smarter than Zhu Xi, but that Zhu Xi wants to improve the science system and deliberately misinterprets the original meaning of "University".

Wang Yangming continued to lecture, and the more he spoke, the more frightening it became, and soon more than a dozen students escaped.

Among them, several students fled back to Guizhou City overnight and went straight to the Yamen of the governor of Guizhou.

At noon the next day, they finally saw Wang Qian, who was about to go out, and immediately knelt down and complained: "Wang Futai, there are crazy people who are born in Longgang Mountain to confuse the public, criticize the sages Zhu Zi and Cheng Zi, and change the scriptures and meanings of the "Four Books" without authorization! ”

(PS1: Regarding the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", some people think that Lao Wang is talking nonsense.) There is indeed something inappropriate, and it has been revised. ）

(PS2: Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty was the great Sichuan, including part of today's Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, and Hubei, and many of these places were uncivilized, and the number of Tusi was amazing, so Sichuan was a barbarian land.) Also, because of the war at the end of the Song Dynasty and the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the economy, culture, and population of Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty were far inferior to those of the Song Dynasty. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the population of Sichuan did not recover to the level of the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. ）
