Yan Zheng is very confident, and this self-confidence comes from the prophet and from grasping the truth.

Therefore, he did not engage in any compulsory study in his serial "Yan Zheng Philosophy", including "How Steel is Made" written this time.

In his opinion, it is normal to have praise and criticism, and he is also open-minded enough to accommodate different voices.

If students are forced to read "What Steel is Made of", and ask them to write their feelings after reading it, it will seem that Yan Zheng has a nervous breakdown.

And this is the direction of historical development, literature should reflect life, that is, it should be written in the most popular language.

Therefore, as soon as "How Steel is Made" came out, it has already won a laurel, that is, this is the first pure vernacular literary work in the history of China.

Many people in later generations may think that the ancients spoke full of classical Chinese.

In fact, classical Chinese is somewhat similar to the vernacular of the pre-Qin period, and since then the vernacular has been becoming more and more popular and accurate.

It's just a monopoly on the interpretation of scriptures and meanings, and they like to continue to use classical Chinese in their writing. That is, the kind of expression in the pre-Qin period, so that there is a gap in understanding between the common class and the class of scholars.

This is a kind of monopoly of knowledge, culture and discourse, in the Tang and Song dynasties, without the words of the village sages, the common people basically did not know what edicts were issued by the imperial court.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang first discovered this problem, and the official notices were required to use the vernacular, striving to be understandable to all the people.

In the Qing Dynasty, it regressed slightly, but in the emperor's Zhu criticism, there were a large number of vernacular expressions, such as "I know" and "you are governors".

It's just that in terms of writing, the Ming and Qing dynasties have not been able to fully adopt the vernacular language except for the script, even if it is an agricultural book, it is also written in crepe.

Therefore, the reason why the New Culture Movement takes the "Vernacular Literature Movement" as the core is to break the discourse power of scholars and make the popularization of knowledge and ideas more convenient.

From this point of view, the book "How Steel is Made" is equivalent to a final word, making a model for the literature that follows.

In Sunset Village, there was a strong wind at the end of June, and although Dongqin was blocked by the central mountain range, the wind was still not small.

The high winds and heavy rain brought production activities to a standstill, and ships were afraid to go to sea in such weather.

Li Jian lay on the boat, listening to the wind and rain outside, and looked at "How Steel is Made" in his hand.

He frowned, attracted by the plot, and after the story was set in the Ming Kingdom, he felt more about Ming immigrants like them.

The protagonist Jin Bao's difficult childhood and the flames of war all made Li Jian empathize.

His tortuous experience, love but helpless and helpless to compromise the relationship, all made Li Jian deeply regretful and fascinated.

When he read that Jin Bao insisted on working after being blind and paralyzed, Li Jian suddenly understood that will is true steel!

The main tragedy of life is to stop fighting!

Li Jian gradually understood what Jin Bao said when he was young, and he even felt that he had many similarities with Jin Bao.

"The most precious thing in man is life. Life is only once for us. A man's life should be spent in such a way that, when he recalls the past, he does not regret that he wasted his time, nor is he ashamed of his inaction—so that, at the end of his life, he can say: 'My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world, the struggle for the liberation of China.'" ”

When he read Jin Bao and realized the true meaning of life in front of the martyrs' cemetery, Li Jian unconsciously read it out loud, and every pore on his body seemed to be surging with heat!

He looked at this sentence deadly, and the young man's excitement was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

Youth, turmoil, family and country, and the drastic changes of the times, this is the theme of "How Steel is Made". At the same time, it is also represented by Li Jian, what the vast majority of Ming teenagers have experienced, to a certain extent, is more profound than what is described in the book.

Li Jian continued to watch without sleep and food, and the meal was also brought to the room by his brother's newly married sister-in-law.

When he read the last word, he felt as if he had been stripped of his strength, lying on the bed and looking out the window at the sky.

The wind had stopped, the rain had turned into a drizzle, and the sky was a little gloomy. The kerosene lamp in the bedroom only has a candle the size of a bean because it burns vegetable oil.

Li Jian was lying like this, his mind calmed down, and in this lonely atmosphere, he quickly replayed Jin Bao's life in his mind.

"I'm going to be the gold protector of the sea!"

…………

Similar scenes are happening all over China at this moment.

Some read Iron Will, some read GM friendship, some read love, and some read youth.

But the vast majority of people have seen a piece of life and tasted the meaning of life in this book.

They will empathize with Jinbao's experience, regret Jinbao's regrets, and be inspired by Jinbao's attitude towards life.

Life and value, they also know how to equalize, rather than obey what "Kong said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness".

Compared with the words of Confucian sages who advised people to take life lightly, Jin Bao's attitude towards life is obviously more agreeable.

Life is only once, it is precious for everyone, some causes need us to fight and sacrifice, and some causes are worth fighting and sacrificing.

The book given by the monarch of this country will become their collective memory and collective treasure.

In the red room, Yan Zheng was also lying on a recliner reading a book, and he was reading "Zizhi Tongjian".

Lan Ya and Kaori Shimazu are about to give birth, and they are staying in the delivery room that has been specially vacated, enjoying the care of more than a dozen full-time doctors.

Yumo was reading the monthly letters on the side, and she categorized them as she read them.

When reading the letter from the mayor of the Ryukyus, Yan Zheng stopped her.

"The Ryukyu Divide Decree has been fully implemented?"

Yumo confirmed it again, nodded and said: "Mayor Wang said that it is over, the per capita field is 25 acres, and there are about 30,000 acres left, and there are thousands of acres of hardwood waiting to be developed in the two counties of Wumu and Maolin."

"What about business and industry?"

"The yield per mu of sugarcane has increased to a certain extent due to the implementation of the 'interplanting method', and the sugar yield should be able to reach a new high this year, and the important thing is to produce more beans and alfalfa, both of which can be used as green storage, so there is room for improvement in the amount of livestock and horse breeding in the Ryukyus." Yumo replied.

Yan Zheng nodded: "It seems that Wang Qimei has worked hard, and at the moment Ryukyu is the second richest city in addition to Mozhou."

Yumo smiled and said, "If you don't count Penghu, we only have three cities!"

Yan Zheng flattened his mouth and continued to let her read.

In fact, the situation is much the same, and the rest of the place is semi-open at the moment.

The two were chatting, and the nurse who was serving Lan Ya suddenly ran out in a panic: "Monarch, Secretary Lan is about to give birth, and the amniotic water is broken!"

Yan Zheng stood up with a snap and wanted to go in to take a look, but stopped again.

Yumo hurriedly walked in, only to hear a cry of pain coming from inside.

I couldn't read the book anymore, Yan Zheng found a chair and sat down, but found that he couldn't sit still at all.

After tossing for almost two hours, before I was born, the midwifery forceps were sterilized and taken in.

"Someone's coming. Fragrant...... Mrs. Xiang is also going to give birth! Kaori's nurse also ran out.

For a while, chickens and dogs jumped, and fine sweat broke out on Yan Zheng's forehead.

Who would have thought that there would be two at once? You have to say no to multiplayer sports!

Yan Zheng walked around outside the door, but still walked into the delivery room, looking at Lan Ya sweating profusely, gritting his teeth in pain, he silently closed his eyes and retreated.

The two of them enjoyed the top medical care of their time, and Yan Zheng had to comfort himself like this.

He went to Kaori's delivery room again to take a look, and came out more quickly.

This picture is really heart-wrenching, but he can't do anything but wait quietly.

As a materialist, he silently begged the Bodhisattva for his blessing in his heart.

……

Wow - with a crisp cry, a relieved cry came from Lan Ya's delivery room.

A quarter of an hour later, there was a cry in Kaori's delivery room.

Yan Zheng's hanging heart relaxed, and he said that Dongqin's medical technology seemed to be really more advanced!

"Monarch, Secretary Lan gave birth to a little son!"

"Monarch, Mrs. Xiang also gave birth to a little son!"

After a while, two crumpled ugly babies were hugged in front of Yan Zheng's eyes.

Joy, excitement, and disbelief, but when he took it, Yan Zheng still felt like he was connected by blood.

There's a back! More to talk about reality!
