At that time, Wang Shouren was still just a milky hairy boy, and now the first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet who are very deep in the city government can be described as two polar reversals.

It is also the old man in the cloth, who seems to be a little learned, and I heard that it seems that he is still a person from the previous dynasty, but the family is all big, and a person like him who comes from a poor background can be said to be equivalent to ten taels of silver, and sometimes even not.

"Boy, looking at your outfit, it doesn't look like an ordinary person, the old man is here to check and look at things, for so many years, his eyesight is better than anyone else."

Wang Shouren didn't say anything, just arched his hand and said, "It's just an idle cloud and a wild crane, don't take it to heart, sir." ”

The old man smiled slightly, and continued regardless of it: "Boy, old man, I have been fishing here all the year round, this river is also the famous hometown of crucian carp, and the people who come here to fish are not those rich businessmen who pretend to cultivate their emotions, and the disciples of the family, and some of the gentlemen, those of Confucianism, what kind of Confucianism, and even more pay attention to these red tape things, fishing is just a livelihood, but it has become a face problem by these people, it is really ridiculous." ”

Wang Shouren is dressed in Confucian clothes, and his polite appearance is indeed very different from the fishermen around him, but he is also restrained, not much different from the appearance of a scholar like a family, and this sentence is also quite ironic from time to time.

However, Wang Shouren did not have a trace of anger, and even smiled slightly: "Old man, you are right, today's Confucian literati in the world have long been not like the Confucian literati I thought. ”

"First, it can make everyone in the world keep to themselves and care for each other, and second, the monarch should be considerate of the people's feelings, cherish the people's strength, and oppose harsh government. Third, to govern the country with etiquette and righteousness, to restore the rule of virtue in the period of the year, and fourth, to hold an attitude of ignoring the ghosts and gods, respecting ghosts and gods and staying away, but also attaches great importance to sacrificing ancestors. ”

"When the flood was ignorant, the etiquette and music were enough, and the behavior that restrained people also engraved the stability of the world, so the trip of the rites and saints did help to stabilize the situation in the world back then, but now it is indeed seized by many literati and ink writers, not thinking about progress, only thinking about etiquette, they also forget why etiquette exists, and they also forget, in fact, there are still Confucians in the world who are for the world and people who do things for the world, but Mr. has seen less."

Wang Shouren is still talking, and the Confucian classics are almost all about to be told enough.

When he was in passion, the old man in the cloth interrupted.

"But how did the merchants come to be? How many families are there in the world, and where does the money to feed the family come from to supply the gold, silver, and jewelry used by the monarch to fight wars? ”

The old man in the cloth smiled and said: "Those sour and rotten Confucians in the world, what are they one by one, for the world, for us." Old man, look at it, except for those holy ancestors, the rest are just a little wind, heh, the old man thought that you Wang Shouren was not one of those corrupt Confucians, you should be a person who is far-sighted and knows how to do things for the world, why is it the same today? ”

After that, the old man didn't know where to take out a well-preserved scroll, and the word "generous" was officially signed on it, and it was a meritorious service!

However, the old paper looked quite disgusted at this time, and after laughing all his life, he threw it into the river.

"The old man has always been unpleasant, those rotten Confucians who have done nothing, originally, seeing the doctrine of skill and merit, the old man was quite surprised, and even kept it with him every time, at that time the old man really thought that the world was going to be saved, after all, the world will not be the world when we were the older generation, and it is time to start doing some practical things, instead of still struggling with those etiquette knowledge, thinking of this, you are really a little difficult to speak, no wonder others say that Confucian literati are really twisting and pinching, like a girl."

"Looking at it today, I can't imagine that the Confucian literati who the old man praised endlessly back then are also a corrupt Confucian, and even more corrupt than other corrupt Confucians, the old man really doesn't know if this book is really written by you, it's really just grandstanding, alas, the old man is a big disappointment."

With that, the old man rowed the river away.

Hearing the old man's words, Wang Shouren was a little embarrassed, at least today is the first time he was insulted by a mountain villager, back then, even the long-famous Confucian had to give three points of thin noodles, it was very prosperous, even if he was a little downtrodden now, but not many people dared to provoke, but now he was scolded by an old mountain villager, it is really a shame in this life.

However, Wang Shouren still has some city government in his heart, his heart is quite calm, at least although he is a little angry, but he is not too impulsive, standing on the river, his mood is gradually becoming more and more calm, no longer thinking about this, Wang Shouren looked at the river, in fact, what the old man said is not reasonable, but the consciousness is greater than the eight or nine out of ten people in this world, and even the courage is rare among people, although Wang Shouren put forward the doctrine of merit, however, Wang Shouren has not completely subverted the words of the Confucian sages of the past dynasties, The rule is that it is just a statement, and it is only anonymous.

In fact, among the three religions, Taoism pays attention to purity, inaction, is a person's thing, it can also be said to be the way of heaven, the Buddha, will be on the suffering of this life and the blessing of the next life, the six reincarnation, only our Confucianism, and the world, the deepest entanglement, and there is the dilemma of 'near is not inferior to far away', the greater the knowledge, the higher the cultivation, but the more tied up, always feel that stretching a leg and raising a head, about to touch the wall of the rules, even just raised his head, looked at the sky, stretched out his hand, and committed a heinous sin, provoked the world to be despised by everyone.

For example, Mr. Lian Xi is naturally a Confucian, but later he also saw that Confucianism is a problem with your mind, so he naturally gave up the prominent status of a Confucian bachelor and turned around to become a powerful minister of the dynasty who can tilt towards the government and the opposition.

And what about herself? Wang Shouren's purpose of learning, emphasizing learning and more work, in fact, at the beginning, he hoped to get rid of those corrupt and cynical, a bit like cleaning up the portal, which would naturally make enemies on all sides and avoid being excluded by others.

Many people can't be Confucian saints, they are ordinary, and these people account for most of the world. Therefore, when Wang Shouren implements his own merits and learning, he will definitely touch the interests of the vast majority of people, which will definitely cause a great backlash from this part of the people, and his results may be even worse than Mr. Lianxi.

Not even that, Mr. Lian Xi, who died neatly, did not suffer too much, but Wang Shouren is different, a person who does not even have the status of a god, how can he subvert the ability of today's Confucianism?

Coming up here, Wang Shouren is naturally clear, what he wants to do in the future, the thousand-year-old school in the world wants to fight against them, only power, the power of the emperor, the right to lean towards the government and the opposition, and the right to fight against Cui Tang!
