In Ziyang Academy, the sound of reading is loud and ear-catching, which is very different from six years ago.

The five-storey Xiucai Building, there were two in those years, as long as there was a Xiucai fame, those who came did not refuse.

Today, the number of Xiucai buildings has not changed, but the admission requirements have changed.

The number of students is divided by the size of the college, the number of large colleges with more than 10,000 people can guarantee the number of talents, the number of medium-sized colleges with more than 1,000 people, the number of medium-sized colleges with more than 1,000 people, can guarantee the number of talents three, and the small colleges will be issued according to the situation.

Today, those who can study in Ziyang Academy are all in Yangzhou and even in the south of the Yangtze River, and the outstanding talents from the major academies are the leaders in the local area.

Zhongjin Shi didn't dare to say, but the probability of a talent coming out of Ziyang Academy was as high as seventy percent.

This means that as long as you can enter Ziyang Academy to study, there is a two-thirds chance of being successful, which is simply a college entrance examination sprint class for later generations.

These three thousand Xiucai are the generals of Xiucai, just like the dialogue between Liu Bang and Han Xin.

Liu Bang asked Han Xin, how many soldiers and horses can you lead.

Han Shin said that the more the merrier.

Liu Bang asked again how many soldiers and horses he could lead, and the corners of Han Xin's mouth turned up, and he smiled and said 100,000.

Liu Bang was strange, and asked: I can only lead 100,000 troops, and the more you have, the better, why do you want to serve me as the king?

Han Xin smiled bitterly and replied: I can lead a million soldiers, and the king can lead 100,000 generals.

The current 3,000 Xiucai looks inconspicuous, but they are Wang Xu's 100,000 generals.

They come from major academies, and within the local academies, they have a group of followers in their own right.

It seems that Wang Xu only taught 3,000 people, but in fact, these 3,000 people will pass on his doctrine to more than 30,000 people.

Word of mouth, one ten, ten hundreds, hundreds of thousands, only then has the glory of Xinxue today.

This is like the three thousand disciples of Confucius and countless descendants of Confucianism, Ziyang Academy can achieve such results, of course, it is inseparable from Wang Xu, but it is inseparable from these three thousand disciples.

And the reason why these people support him is that there is only one reason, which is profitable.

The new school proposed by Wang Xu integrates the advantages of Zhu Cheng's science and Yangming's psychology, and on the basis of Confucian orthodoxy, he puts forward the view that the monarch is granted by heaven and the country is governed according to Confucianism.

And on the basis of the Confucian classics, he studied the four principles of serving the country, the clan, the family, and the people.

In the past, Confucian scholars only knew how to learn Confucianism, but they didn't know why they learned Confucianism.

I only know how to be an official, but I don't know why I am an official.

Xinxue gave an explanation, establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the saints, and opening peace for all generations.

If you want to serve the country and your home, just come to learn Confucianism, Buddhism talks about being born into the world, Taoism talks about the heavenly heart of the body, and has no connection with family and friends.

Confucianism is different, the court is Tian Shelang, the twilight is the Tianzi Hall, one person gets the Taoist chicken dog ascends to heaven, you are an official, friends can follow to make a fortune, hello and I am good, of course it is really good.

In addition, Xinxue talks about the prince of heaven and earth, the king stands in the third priority, first the king and then the family, and won the love of the court, the use of Xinxue, is the use of the monarch's power, this monarchy is granted by God, the emperor is the son of the mandate of heaven, and ordinary people have no reason to rebel.

The birth of Xinxue has caused an uproar at the moment, and the strongest support is today.

After the Son of Heaven learned of the new learning, he publicly stated more than once that the new learning is the learning of the world, and the people who read the world should follow suit.

And the second one who supports it is the family.

For the country, for the family, for the family, for the people.

The second righteous life is for the sake of the family, so that the big family with the surname as the main and looking forward to the future generations is not happy.

In ancient times, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the control of the bottom was firmly in the hands of the squires, who were all local big families, and the followers were like clouds, and with their support, there was the support of public opinion.

As for the pure people, who knows who you are.

You don't have to come forward, what you mean, the patriarch of the clan will express it for you.

If you dare to resist, you are against the whole family, your second uncle, your third uncle, your seventh uncle, and the whole family against the villagers.

If you say this, your father will be able to tear your mouth apart, believe it or not, and the clan will dare to invade the pig cage and kill the little beast who committed the crime below you.

Don't say that you run away or something, the clan doesn't give you a guide to open the way, you are a homeless person, and you won't be asked to work, and the government can arrest you to build roads, and you won't be given a penny, and you will be tired to death.

At that time, there was no guide, which was more terrible than not having an ID card now, of course, you are not short of money, and you can make false testimony if you are rich and powerful.

It's just that you are powerful and powerful, which means that your status in the clan is not low, and with this identity, you can represent others, so do you still need to run, of course, you are staying to be powerful.

If you want to run, you can't live in the local area, and the best fate for these people is to fall into the grass, such as Wang Xu's father Wang Dafa, who was just a young son of the Wang family, didn't he go out for more than ten years and earn a rich return.

The new school proposed by Wang Xu is not very friendly to ordinary people, but it is a first-class treaty for the monarchy and the family.

He established legitimacy for the heavenly grant of monarchy, correctness for family inheritance, and feasibility for the supremacy of reading.

Even the children of the poor family cheered one by one.

Because Xinxue advocates self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world, it does not require honesty and honesty, but advocates that reading and family go hand in hand.

Self-cultivation is reading, this is the first place.

The second place is the Qi family, if you read well, you should start a family.

In contrast, governing the country and leveling the world, that is what should be done after starting a family, you can't even take care of your family, what to do to govern the country and level the world.

When the children of the poor family saw it, there was something to do, if they couldn't afford to buy a family business, this was the teaching of the saint.

In addition to ordinary people, no matter who you are today, a big family, or a poor family, you can find what you need in Xinxue.

Man does not oppose his own needs, and the saint said that he who can want but does not ask, the saint is also.

The meaning of this passage is that you don't want what you want, suppress the desires in your heart, and not be swayed by your desires, which is something that only a saint can do.

Throughout the ages, there have been very few such people, or people with such character.

In this way, the new learning meets the needs of all parties, how can it not be successful.

In just six years, Wang Xu's reputation has set off boundless waves in the land of Kyushu with Xinxue, with 3,000 talents and 800 people.

Every day, there are great Confucians to visit, and more relatives and friends come to greet them, and those who come to visit the guests, at least they have to be the best among the Jinshi, and most of them are contemporary Confucians.

If you don't have a certain level, you're embarrassed to greet him, let alone pay a visit.

Many people are waiting, waiting for Wang Xu to become a great Confucian.

Wang Xu sat firmly in Diaoyutai, and never one day declared to others that he had successfully achieved great Confucianism, nor did he ever claim one day that he was not yet a great Confucian.

Yes or no, outsiders are insignificant, and for Wang Xu, with the development and growth of Xinxue, Confucianism is no longer his goal.

"Scholar, your quiet word can actually calm my mind, the demon in my heart will not be born for three days, are you already a great Confucian?"

In Ziyang Academy, Fahai sat in the lotus pond and asked Wang Xu, who was sitting in the pavilion reading a book.

Wang Xu smiled and said nothing, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

"It's very likely, the first four steps of Confucianism, Tongsheng, Xiucai, Renren, Jinshi, as long as you pass the test. The fifth step of Confucianism is not just an exam, but must come up with real talent and learning, so contemporary Confucianism is a person who has great achievements in one subject, one subject, and one technique. The new school you founded has had such a great influence and deep roots that there is no one else in the past and present.

Even in the era of the hundred schools of thought, if your new learning is taken out, you have to be called Xuzi.

Although I don't practice literature, I am not an illiterate idiot, I have new learning in hand, even if you are a sage, you are also worthy, let alone a great Confucian. ”

Faced with Fahai's question, Wang Xu smiled and said nothing.

Fahai was surprised when he saw it, and wondered: "Are you still a Jinshi?" ”

"Who said I was a Jinshi?" Wang Xu raised his head slightly, with an indescribable smile on his face.

"Sure enough!"

When Fahai heard this, he looked like he took it for granted, but he quickly asked again: "Since you have already broken through and become a great Confucian, why don't you tell the world?" Aren't other great Confucians, once they succeed, announce to the world and celebrate with the whole world? ”

"What does a false name mean to me, what I want is reality, not a false name, when I should show the strength of Confucianism, I will naturally show it. Before that, it's useless to talk too much, can I still say that I am a Confucian when I meet people, and go to his house to eat? ”

Wang Xu is a pragmatic person, he doesn't value false fame, and sometimes it's good to hide clumsy.

"When are you going to announce it, you can't hide it like this and not let the world know, right?"

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming."

Wang Xu's tone was brisk, and after speaking, he looked at Jing and Jiao Erzhou, who were still fighting.
