In the middle of the threshing floor, a bonfire was blazing, and around the fire, dozens of scholars in Confucian shirts sat on the ground, laughing and laughing. On the wooden shelf not far away, there were three disemboweled, fat sheep.

Some villagers are responsible for cutting the lamb into pieces of the right size, threading them with wooden skewers, wrapping them in spices, and piling them up into a small mountain.

Xu Wei and Li Zhen are both delicious people, especially the big bowl of wine, the big piece of meat, and the hot sweat on their heads, that is the most pleasant. The two of them couldn't wait to be skewered, first brought a lot of them, put them on the fire and roasted them, and after a while, the mutton was bubbling with oil, wafting out a faint aroma, these two drooling elders, kept making smack sounds, and they couldn't wait to eat it immediately, not to mention how embarrassing it was.

Tang Yi excused himself to pour wine for the big guy and stay away from these two embarrassing guys.

The farmer's turbid wine is not good, but it has a different taste when you drink it at this time. Tang Yi is like a hospitable host, pouring wine for every Hanlin and Guozi prisoner. Some people's hands trembled with excitement, their faces turned red before they could drink, and they kept shouting in their hearts, the idol they worshipped poured themselves wine, don't be too happy!

Tang Yi turned around and returned to his position, Wang Xijue didn't know where to move a wooden pier for the teacher, and when he sat down, he could be a head taller than others and speak more clearly.

Tang Yi raised the wine bowl first, and said with a kind smile: "The big guy came from afar, and he should have entertained everyone well, but everything is difficult at the beginning, everything in the village has just begun, and it can only be simple because of ugliness, and if it is not thoughtful, please Haihan." ”

Saying that Tang Yi did it first as a respect, and the others hurriedly accompanied, Wang Xijue drank the wine in the bowl and sighed: "Teacher, you have been here for four months, and you are still so simple, I guess it must have been even harder when you first came." The disciples are pampered in the capital, singing and dancing, and enjoying themselves comfortably, it's really a shame to say, damn it! ”

Everyone else also lowered their heads, full of emotion, as if they had made a big mistake.

Tang Yi smiled indifferently, "What Yuan Yu said is right, but it's not right. When I first came, it was true, the house was leaking on all sides, and I was lying in the house, and I could see the stars and the moon, and there was nothing, and I had to do everything by myself. Tang Yi said a few words briefly, and the words changed, "But it is precisely because of this that I think more, and I can say that I have a little experience. ”

"Okay!" Wang Xijue applauded with his head, and the others also looked up at Tang Yi together, the firelight reflected on his face, shining brightly, and in a trance, they even felt that Tang Yi had a trace of sacredness.

Wang Yangming was demoted to the official dragon field, and realized the truth of "the way of the sage, my nature is self-sufficient, and those who seek reason from things are mistaken", and since then, most of the people in the heart have talked loudly, looking forward to being able to have an epiphany and become holy, but decades have passed, and there is no second Wang Yangming.

The more than 50 people present today, almost all of them are Xinxue, they are looking forward to knowing what truth the person closest to Yang Ming Gong has realized in the past 50 years, and everyone up their ears to listen and witness the legendary scene.

"When I first arrived here, I repaired the house, chopped wood, carried water, cooked, and did everything myself, nothing more than for the sake of food and clothing, and then I didn't want to sit and eat empty, and began to write letters to the villagers, run schools, and earn some expenses, and when I learned that the villagers would weave reed mats at the end of the year, in exchange for some silver, I suggested that they divide labor and cooperate, weave more reed mats, and earn more silver. When it was time for the Chinese New Year, I finally quieted down, and when I looked back, I found that the experience of a few months was very similar to the historical evolution of thousands of years. ”

Tang Yi raised his head slightly, and sighed: "In ancient times, there were many harms to people. Those who have saints stand up, and then teach them the way of mutual rebirth and mutual support. For the king, for the teacher. Drive away its insects, snakes, birds and beasts, and be in the middle of the earth. The cold is then clothed, and the hungry is then fed. The wood is upside down, the soil is sick, and then the palace is the room. For the work to support its utensils, for it to pass its existence, for it medicine to help its untimely death, for it to bury and sacrifice to prolong its love, for its rites to follow its order, for the pleasure to declare its depression, for the government to rate its tiredness, for the punishment to hoe its strong stalks. Deceive each other, for the symbol, seal, fight, weigh to believe. Seize each other, and defend it for the city of Guo Jia. Prepare for harm, and prevent ......"

"Han Yu's "Yuan Dao" is mostly familiar to you, people from ignorance to civilization, the first thing to solve is clothing, food, shelter and transportation, food and clothing, make a variety of practical tools, produce more food and cloth, more goods, naturally there is exchange, there are merchants, society is getting richer, doctors and musicians appear, treating diseases, and delighting the soul. Formulating etiquette norms, establishing a dynasty, establishing rules, formulating weights and measures, forming an army, step by step, have come to this day. ”

Using Han Yu's point of view, reinterpreting the social division of labor in "The Wealth of Nations" is refreshing and thoughtful, isn't it, it turns out that the ancient sages have already discovered it, but what they said is not as clear as "The Wealth of Nations", of course, later generations of readers do not have Tang Yi's wisdom and insight into candles.

People who were still skeptical about "The Wealth of Nations" also had to agree with Tang Yi's statement.

What Han Changli said can be described as reasonable, but he forgot that for thousands of years, not every person can be fed and clothed, can see a doctor when sick, and have books to read if they want to study. In fact, most of them have not even achieved the most basic food and clothing, which is the most basic reality. In this village, just three months ago, a child burned his hand in order to come to school, because if his hand hurts, his parents would not force him to weave a reed mat, and he would be able to study. ”

Everyone present was stunned, most of them came from wealthy families, and they really couldn't imagine that they would not hesitate to harm themselves in order to study, and a few people immediately stood up excitedly.

"My lord, I can't imagine that there are such studious people in the world, and we are willing to pay for it."

"That's right, this son must be a pillar of the country in the future, and he should be vigorously cultivated."

Everyone was emotional, gossiping and talking, Xu Wei shouted while nibbling on the freshly grilled mutton skewers: "What are you shouting, you can't use more snacks, didn't you just say it, most people can't eat, can't wear warm, and can't afford to read." What is the majority? Can you help one, help two, can you help millions of children? ”

Xu Wei's snatching made everyone speechless and depressed.

Tang Yi smiled slightly, "Everyone has good thoughts, which is worth encouraging, but what Senior Brother Wen said is not unreasonable, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." I also thought about taking out some silver to help a group of people, but what should I do when the money is spent? You can't pay for it every year, can you? ”

"What the master said is reasonable, so you taught the villagers to weave reed mats to make money?" Wang Xijue asked in surprise.

Tang Yi nodded approvingly, "Some people like to say that a gentleman is a righteous man, and a villain is a good man." But they forget that this is just talking about the difference between a gentleman and a villain, but whether a gentleman or a villain, you have to eat and drink Lazar, you have to take medicine when you are sick, and you have to spend money to go to school. Misinterpreting the meaning of the saints, or being far-fetched, deliberately blinding one's eyes and blindfolding one's conscience, will not solve any problem except self-deception. The so-called unity of knowledge and action, the essence is to seek truth and be pragmatic! ”

"For one term of office, for the benefit of one party, the core lies in the word rich people, the people are rich and easy to govern, the people are poor and difficult to govern, the small rich and the small are governed, and the big rich are governed. The common people are so poor that they have nothing, and that is when the uprising is revealed! ”

……

Tang Yi said a lot, and everyone listened carefully, trying to think about Tang Yi's words.

Only Xu Wei, Li Zhen, and Wang Shizhen heard Tang Yi's true meaning, and Wang Xijue only understood half of it.

After Wang Yangming put forward the "unity of knowledge and action", in his later years, he exaggerated the role of the heart more and more, especially the "Tianquan Dao", Wang Yangming at the last moment of his life, and Qian Dehong and Wang Ji argued, leaving four sentences, namely: no good and no disgusting body, there is good and malicious action, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and removing evil for good is a character.

It can be seen from this that Wang Yangming is more and more in good and evil, and his heart is spinning, as for the way of "doing", he has been thrown aside, at least in a secondary position.

In Tang Yi's conversation, he put aside the four teachings, worked the "unity of knowledge and action", and took a big step forward, that is, he added the words of seeking truth and pragmatism!

This addition is amazing, which is equivalent to pulling the whole mind from idealism to the track of materialism, seeking truth in knowledge and being pragmatic in doing things.

How to judge what is true and right, the trick lies in practice, just like Tang Yi does things, practice is right, it is right, practice is wrong, it is delusion, it is empty talk, it should be abandoned......

What a lot of courage, what a lot of courage.

Over the past few decades, someone has finally taken a crucial step on the shoulders of Yang Minggong, and it can be said that Tang Yi has stood in a new realm, pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, and carrying forward the past and forging ahead into the future.

Xu Wei and the three of them were naturally full of joy, and even cheered, they thought that Tang Yi would at least have to live a year of confusion in order to surpass Yang Ming Gong and achieve the words of the family, but they didn't expect that it would come so quickly, it was really exciting!

Speaking of drunkenness, Tang Yi's mood was high, he stood up, and said loudly: "The rest of the book "The Wealth of Nations" only talks about the creation of wealth, but wealth is not just created, but it must be distributed. Let everyone get their fair share, this is what I will explore in my next book. ”

Tang Yi held the wine bowl, drank it dry, and said with a smile: "Today I will leave you a topic, last year weaving reed mats, more than 70 households in the village, a total of 3,000 taels of silver, this is the first time they have earned so much money, how to distribute this money, they have all made difficulties, there is no shortage of people who are full of poetry and books, and there are more future pillars of the imperial court, let you think about it, how to distribute it, tomorrow I will check my homework!"
