In the Ming Dynasty, there were many associations of literati.

Wang Yangming participated in several when he was young, and the Donglin Party was originally only a literary club. mentioned earlier that the Chishui Liujun in southern Gannan were killed by four thieves when they went home from the township test, and they also formed a Chishui Society.

There were more than 30 people who signed up for the Datong Society.

Zhao Han is not picky, and accepts it with all his brains.

As long as you engage in a few more club activities, you can simply engage in the lively natural exposure, and then develop core members from the rest of the people.

Relying on a group of talents and children to rebel?

Rely on them to fight the Tartars?

Pure.

There is also the Iron Foot Club in Hekou Town, and Zhao Han is also happy to make friends.

However, it should not be relied upon, and the union--gangster organization is unreliable.

The power of the Wenhui can be borrowed, the power of the trade union can be borrowed, and the power of the Fei family can be borrowed.

But these forces are difficult to become Zhao Han's basic plate!

Without a basic disk, it is like water without a source, and it is like a ping without roots. It can be on a whim, it can be smooth, but it can't suffer major setbacks.

"Gentlemen!"

After lunch, Zhao Han hugged his fists and said: "Let's talk about the association another day, and now I am called by the inspector, and I have to go to listen to the admonition." ”

"Let's go, don't keep the inspector waiting." Zhusheng said.

Cai Maode stayed in the guest room, and a servant came to open the door.

Zhao Han asked, "Your Excellency, is the inspector available?" ”

The servant said, "The inspector has been waiting for a long time, and the little minister is invited to come in." ”

At this moment, Cai Maode was sitting in front of the desk, and there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table.

A piece of scratch paper was spread out, and key words such as "pulling out the source of the book", "all things are one", "the essence of the Dao heart", "the harmony of the five teachings", and "the theory of the position" were written casually.

Obviously, this person is doing learning, and it is very important learning.

It seems that there are still some tricks that he hasn't understood, Cai Maode closed his eyes and pondered hard, and he didn't even know when Zhao Han entered the room.

Zhao Han was inconvenient to disturb, so he sat down quietly and began to close his eyes there.

After a long time, Cai Maode suddenly opened his eyes, and immediately wrote hard, and more than ten key words appeared on the scratch paper.

When he was about to write an article officially, he finally saw a person sitting next to him. Cai Maode put down his pen and asked with a smile: "It's been a long time?" ”

Zhao Han got up and said, "I saw the inspector in my later life. ”

Cai Maode was in a happy mood at the moment, and the more he looked at Zhao Han, the more he liked it, and said in a kind tone: "Sit down and talk." ”

Zhao Han immediately sat down and asked, "I don't know the call of the superintendent, what is the admonition?" ”

Cai Maode asked: "You have such a grand theory at a young age, and you came up with it yourself?" ”

Zhao Han replied: "When the student was ten years old, he seemed to have an understanding when he read "University". It took another four years to read the Confucian scriptures and meanings to have this ridiculous and generous argument. ”

"Ten?"

Cai Maode was surprised and regretted: "Four years ago, Feng Zhi County in Lead Mountain should have recommended you to participate in the prodigy test. ”

The state and county magistrates of the Ming Dynasty could elect prodigies who were about ten years old, and they did not need to go through the county test and the government test, and went directly to participate in the Taoist test. The examiner will take special care of the prodigy, lower the judging criteria, and give priority to the admission of prodigies.

Feng Menglong, who wrote "Three Words", was a prodigy, and he became a child at the age of eleven.

Zhao Shichun of the Jiajing Dynasty took the prodigy test at the age of nine, and was suspected of cheating because the article was written too well.

The interview question "Zi said", Zhao Shichun immediately broke the question: Pifu is the teacher of the hundred generations, and in a word, it is the law of the world.

The scholar was surprised, and used "Zhao Shichun" as the title. Zhao Shichun immediately broke the problem: the surname is the first of the hundred schools, and the name is the first of the four orders.

The prodigy test is more difficult to cheat than the ordinary road test.

Whoever chooses one will be concerned by the whole province, and if something goes wrong, the school officer will bear a lifelong stain.

Zhao Han was puzzled: "I am still very young in my later life, why is the school inspector so urgent?" ”

Cai Maode sighed and said: "If you want to spread the theory of qualification, you must at least have the fame of showing talent." I'll take you with me, and I won't have a chance, and after the scientific examination next year, I will most likely be transferred to another position. ”

Child's test, two exams in three years.

Next year, only the subject examination will be examined, not the children's examination, and the talent will not be admitted.

All the exams next year revolve around the township exam. Xiucai who passes the scientific examination is qualified to take the exam, and by the way, the scientific examination is used to test the academic performance of Xiucai.

Cai Maode has been in office for several years, and under normal circumstances, he will be transferred by the end of next year, and this position is not allowed to be held for too long.

By the time Zhao Han went to take the Xiucai exam the year after next, the Jiangxi student officer had already been replaced.

Zhao Han said: "Late students must study diligently, and vow to be able to show off their talents in the exam." ”

Cai Maode shouted in his heart: I can't wait!

He wanted to borrow the "Theory of Character" to reinterpret Wang Yangming's "Theory of the Source of Extraction", and vowed to revive the reputation of Yangming's psychology.

In this case, Zhao Han must at least be a talent, and Tongsheng's thoughts will be despised.

Of course, Cai Maode can also be shameless, regardless of the criticism of the lead mountain scholars, and take the "theory of qualification" as his own.

Cai Maode thought carefully, came up with a compromise method, and asked, "Would you like to worship me as a teacher?" ”

The apprentice took the initiative to accept apprentices, and the children didn't hurry up to apprentice!

Zhao Han stood up and said: "The inspector is kind, the late student understands it, but the late student already has a teacher." ”

Don't want to?

Face-to-face refusal?

Cai Maode was stunned for an instant, and a trace of anger was born in his heart. But he was a master of kung fu, and immediately suppressed his anger, tempting: "It's not like you can only worship one person as a teacher, when I leave next year, you can follow me to take up a new position." ”

Then you can't apprentice!

Am I a rebel and follow you everywhere as an official? Waste my time!

Zhao Han was silent to the end.

"Alas, that's it, that's it," Cai Maode could only sigh, and at the same time sighed, "Those who can put forward the theory of personality are not ordinary people, you must not follow Li Zhuowu's old path." ”

Li Zhuowu is Li Zhen.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, deviance was allowed, but there should be a limit.

Science also has a cosmological view, and it is derived from Taoist thought, that is, Tai Chi, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements, that is, two begets three, and three begets all things. This is the foundation of science.

In order to prove the equality of men and women, Li Zhen directly denied the existence of Tai Chi, and even did not admit the words of the Book of Changes, which is equivalent to cutting out the roots of science.

Li Zhen's famous work is called "Book Burning"!

It was not Qin Shi Huang's physical book burning, but his own ideological book burning.

Even so, there are still countless Confucian scholars, many of whom are celebrities, which shows how much people want to break through the cage of old ideas.

Decades ago, how popular was Li Zhen?

In order to make money, publishers around the world often sign new books under the name of Li Zhen's works, which can be sold out in a short period of time. Just like in a certain era, all novels are signed "Huang Yi", and Huang Yi's works can fill several walls.

Zhao Han said: "Late students understand, thank you for the teachings of the inspectors. ”

Cai Maode also said: "Li Zhuowu deviated from the scriptures, but his books sold well. You need to be careful, because the 'Theory of Position' is really useful! ”

What does it mean?

Li Zhen's remarks were so outrageous that the Confucians didn't bother to criticize them.

To use an inappropriate analogy, if someone says that Newtonian mechanics is fake, will physicists stand up and deny it? For physicists, to say that Tai Chi does not exist is to say that Newtonian mechanics is false!

Zhao Han's "lattice theory" can be regarded as Einstein's "theory of relativity".

If it spreads, the Confucians will fry the pot!

Some great Confucians, perhaps overjoyed, took the initiative to accept and refine the theory of personality.

Some great Confucians may be furious and attack Zhao Han at all costs.

"Since the late students dare to speak, they are not afraid of being criticized after speaking." Zhao Han was smiling and fearless.

Cai Maode also smiled and smiled happily: "When the theory of grid status spreads to Jiangnan, I don't know how much storm it will set off. The next Jiangxi school inspector, if you are a scholar, may promote you or suppress you. Do you understand? ”

"Late life understands." Zhao Han said.

Cai Maode said: "Since you don't want to apprentice, how about I give you a watchword?" Han, vast, not as good as the word 'Haoran'. Although it can't protect you for a lifetime, it can protect you for a while. ”

If the inspector is a letter, then during his tenure, Jiangxi Confucian students will not easily attack Zhao Han, otherwise they will be slapping Cai Maode in the face.

"The elders give, don't dare to resign, thank you for the cultivation."

Zhao Han thanked him, and then said: "In his later life, he also gave himself a table, and he may change it when he walks in the world in the future." ”

Cai Maode was a little angry and a little curious, and asked, "What words did you give yourself?" ”

Zhao Han replied, "Wet dust." ”

"Which one? Which dust? Cai Maode asked.

Zhao Han said: "'The water of the waves is clear, and you can wet my water'. 'No general cart, dust and darkness'. ”

Cai Maode was stunned for a moment, and laughed again: "Hahahaha, the future is terrifying!" ”

After laughing, Cai Maode stood up, tidied up his clothes, and straightened up: "Since you have made up your mind, this ambition is broad and difficult, so you must be indomitable." ”

"Although I have died nine times, I have no regrets." Zhao Han said.

Han, that is, has the meaning of vastness, but also has the meaning of cleaning.

"The Big Car" is a poem that describes the sorrow and suffering of the laborers, the laborers push the carts, and the dust covers the sky. Laborers can't see the road ahead clearly, can't figure out the direction, are riddled with diseases, and suffer all day long.

Wet dust has the meaning of removing the dirt of one's body and keeping the soul pure.

Wet dust is also to smooth out the dust for laborers, clear obstacles for laborers, and guide the direction for laborers!

This laborer can also be understood as a scholar, a man of the world, and all the people of the world.

"Zhao Haochen, Zhao Haochen," Cai Maode repeated twice, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

"Late retirement." Zhao Han bowed his hand and left.

Cai Maode muttered to himself: This young man's ambition? Yes? Mind learning? Practical learning?

The mainstream of academic thought in the late Ming Dynasty was to criticize Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming, and to explore the way of Confucius and Mencius. He advocated that Confucianism should not be divorced from reality, and that Confucianism must help the people through the world.

This is called "practical learning".

No matter what the specific work is done, no matter what the purpose, the Donglin Party is holding high the banner of "practical learning".

However, the Donglin Party has a complex composition.

Some people abandon science to explore the real Confucius and Mencius.

Some people revised the theory and thought that Zhu Xi was correct, but it was distorted by later generations.

Cai Maode is also a member of the Donglin Party, and he is trying to repair the study of the mind, thinking that Wang Yangming is correct, but he has been misinterpreted by his disciples and grandchildren.

After Zhao Han left the room, Cai Maode picked up the brush and quoted the theory of grid position, and wanted to write a big article that shocked the schools of mind!
