"The minister asked His Majesty to look for this kind of talent, but the cabinet did not pass it, His Majesty just said that the imperial examination is the first major thing in the Ming Dynasty.

But the minister wants to say that only the Cheng's learning that the minister said can be used as a weapon in the prosperous era, and these Confucianism are just arming the mind, where is the weapon in the hand?

The locust plague in Shandong and the flood in Susong are all our ignorance of geography and astronomy. The fact that the Japanese invaded the coast and the defeat of the imperial court for many years can only show that we are busy enriching our minds with Confucianism, but we have forgotten that we need better weapons in the face of the enemy's strong ships and artillery.

Otherwise, it will be a matter of time before you die! These are indispensable girls in the prosperous world. The minister said that it has the sober and rational mind of the prince, the health of General Zhu Neng, the might of the Han king, and the girl of the Cheng family.

Healthy, brave, and rightly sober. Health can live a long time, courage represents strength, and the goal of correctness and soberness can go further.

People need it, and the court needs it! ”

Cheng Yuan arched his hand and said: "The minister has repeatedly contradicted His Majesty without knowing the height of the sky and the height of the earth, and persuaded the cabinet. But His Majesty did not punish the ministers, and the queen also regarded the ministers as her sons.

His Royal Highness is single-minded to the minister, she has never complained, the prince and the king of Han respect the minister, and the king of Xiang is as frank as a friend to the minister, and the minister does not know how to repay, so he can only use the minister's learning to contribute to the Ming Dynasty.

So next to wait for the White Lotus matter, the minister will go to the Heavenly Realm Temple to live for a few days, and then move the salute to the Zhenguo Academy, continue to study the learning of the Cheng family, and write it down.

But he never thought that he had hysteria, which made His Highness worried, and even His Majesty and the Queen Mother sat here and waited.

Please Your Majesty and Niangniang don't care about the minister's miswords, and forgive the minister's rudeness. ”

In the bedroom, no one spoke.

Even Zhu Zhanji didn't dare to make a fuss, and his eyes swept over the faces of every adult.

"Cheng Yuan, I remember that you only learned from a few unknown literate gentlemen at that time, why did you change so much in a few years."

"The minister has already explained once, these are all calculated by the minister in his mind, it is not correct, Your Majesty can think about what the minister has done in the past few years.

The minister is the minister, the minister is unique, and it is not sent by a hundred schools, and there is no way to find it. The miscellaneous family was created by ministers, and it began in the Yongle Dynasty. ”

"The minister doesn't like Confucianism, and he doesn't like the Legalists, only the Han family of Daming, and only His Royal Highness An Cheng lights up the candle and waits for the minister to return to the small house in the courtyard."

Zhu Di was stunned for a long time, this guy is really good at talking.

After all, in this era, teachers teach students and pass them on by word of mouth, so Cheng Yuan knows too much and is too rich.

Hundred forums, Chinese geography, Cheng Yuan often watched it on TV in his previous life, borrowed the whole book of Siku from his classmates, and read the historical records.

The most watched should be historians talking about the history of the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, watching the documentaries of Daqin, watching the TV of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, plus the history of many years of school and the later world history, these people who persuaded the Ming Dynasty should be enough.

"Xiao Yuanzi, this palace is not wrong, good knowledge should be passed on, and the Cheng "girl" you introduced to Your Majesty will be passed on to the students, and this palace will hand over a few outstanding children of the imperial court to you? ”

"Thank you Niangniang for your support, it's just that I like those who are willing to learn and are interested in learning, not through Niangniang's power."

Zhu Di has not been cold, although Queen Xu said so, but Cheng Yuan didn't know whether this was Zhu Di's approval or Queen Xu's support for him.

Cheng Yuan hoped that Zhu Di would admit it personally.

But Zhu Di is bold in fighting wars, and he is always slow in this kind of thing.

Cheng Yuan guessed that Zhu Di was just something he was not familiar with, and he would not make decisions easily, and if he was sure, Zhu Di would support it 100%.

Zhu Di did not express his position.

Cheng Yuan's heart sank to the bottom.

Alas, Han brothers, I have tried my best to convince you, and it seems that you can only continue to be subjected to the constant aggression and domination of Confucianism.

Don't think about abolishing the funeral system, those rotten and old tumors will continue to harm you,

When the time comes, you will find out if you are beaten and victimized.

Studying medicine can only save the numb body, but not the beaten mountains and rivers.

Just as Brother Xun said, looking through the history of civilization for 2,000 years, I only see two big characters, cannibalism, and the dross of Confucianism cannot be eliminated.

Continuing the Confucian dualistic thinking, there are only two types of people in this world: gentlemen and villains.

But to be honest, how can it be black and white, there is obviously a gray area, and human nature has advantages and disadvantages. People are actually half-human and half-ghost, but they also shine because of those advantages.

There are no pure good people in the world, there are no pure bad people, but Confucianism instills that there are only gentlemen and villains in the world.

"The narrow nationalism of Confucianism, the superiority of orthodoxy. The whole country does not know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, and they are proud and arrogant, but they are more and more reluctant to forge ahead, and finally they are beaten up.

The invasion of the Japanese is only a small beginning. ”

After Cheng Yuan finished speaking, he sat on the chair, held the tea, and took a sip with his eyes closed.

The superiority of the orthodox descendants...... Zhu Di seemed to have been struck by these words, and he suddenly found a knowledge that could resist his unorthodoxy.

"Say it again!" Zhu Di said.

Cheng Yuan looked at Zhu Di: "Your Majesty." It's not that Confucianism is bad, it's just that don't be too obedient, and if there is a problem, you should abandon it. ”

"The last sentence I said." Zhu Di stood up and looked at Cheng Yuan: "I thought that Cheng's learning was already a very mature knowledge, but you didn't even have books, you wrote out the knowledge you said and showed it to me." ”

"Your Majesty? What do you mean. ”

"I give you the opportunity to cultivate the seeds of your Cheng Clan into a towering tree that can shelter the imperial court."

Zhu Di laughed heartily and nodded in a haha voice: "You have lived up to the position of Taishi I gave you." ”

"Your Majesty, are you really willing to let the ministers cultivate this big tree in the land of the Ming Dynasty?" Cheng Yuan said in surprise.

"Well, but if you die, the opportunity is gone." Zhu Di said.

Cheng Yuan scratched his head: "Your Majesty! ”

"Didn't I promise you? UU read the book," Zhu Di said.

"Ao, I mean, dried sweet potatoes are ten taels of silver for one catty, sweet potato vermicelli, fifteen taels, and the dried sweet potatoes you asked Gonggong Zheng to bring back to the palace are ten catties, and the sweet potato vermicelli is more than ten catties.

So, one hundred taels plus one hundred and fifty taels, you give two hundred and forty-nine taels. ”

Cheng Yuan said.

"Okay, I'll give you five hundred taels." Zhu Di said boldly.

Cheng Yuan thought for a while: "Then the minister will send a lip balm to the queen's mother, this will be elected later." ”

Zhu Bai said: "The lip grease has not yet solidified. ”

Zhu Di and Empress Xu went over to look at it, and Cheng Yuan pointed to the lip grease and said, "I named it lip red, it is difficult to fade, and it is non-toxic." ”

After Queen Xu saw it, she was very curious, she used rouge gouache all the year round, and it was the first time she had seen such a delicate thing, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

If Zhu Zhanji hadn't been pulled by An Cheng, he would definitely have eaten the lip fat as a delicious food.

Because Zhu Gao was fat, the crown princess Zhang almost did not allow Zhu Zhanji to touch sweets.

Empress Xu said: "It's rare that you have a heart, and when the time comes, hand it over to An Cheng and let her bring it into the palace." ”

Cheng Yuan smiled: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Bai said: "What do you think of this king? Go to Zhenguo Academy to help you. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "This is a good thing, the twelfth brother, you go and learn from him." ”

Then Cheng Yuan asked Zhu Bai to change Zhu Bai's shop to sell three fresh vermicelli, anyway, he didn't have any chili peppers, and it was not bad to sell three fresh vermicelli, and he opened a chain store in Daming.

Then make some popcorn, and try the technique of pouring oil and frying corn in a certain book in later generations, dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato chips, sweet potato fries, dried fruits......

There is no shame in doing business, his learning needs the support of silver, and he also needs to conduct research, and it is difficult to move an inch away from silver.
