Yuan Gong suddenly asked, "Can the old man ask a question first, and then Monk Daoyan will answer Your Majesty?" ”

Dao Yan was noncommittal, and it just so happened that Zhu Di's question also needed a little time to think about it.

In the past few days, Dao Yan has been pondering on the wall, although most of the issues have his own understanding, but after all, they have not been completely strung together.

Hearing Monk Daoyan and Zhu Di repeatedly mention the so-called "Jiang Sheng" and "Mr. Jiang", Yuan Gong couldn't hold back his curiosity, and interjected and asked, "Who is this Mr. Jiang you are talking about?" ”

"My full name is Jiang Xinghuo." Zhu Gaochi carefully explained, "Jiang Xinghuo was originally a small landowner at the foot of Jingting Mountain in Ningguo Mansion, and he was a young man, and he studied for a few years with Mr. Xiangzhong Private School...... But for some reason, last year began to sell his property and came to Nanjing Qinhuai River to listen to music every day to spend time, his person is quite talented, once wrote 'how much the west wind hates to blow the eyebrows and bends' and other words to sell to dignitaries and nobles in exchange for money. ”

"Why did it attract so much attention from His Majesty, and why did it make Monk Daoyan so crazy?" Yuan Gong was still puzzled.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di, Zhu Di thought for a moment and nodded.

After all, Yuan Gong is really not an outsider to them.

Twenty years ago, Yuan Gong predicted that Zhu Di would become the emperor in the future, and whether Jiang Xinghuo was an immortal, and how to prove it, after all, Yuan Gong still had to take a look and calculate, even if he couldn't decide, it was always a question in Zhu Di's heart.

After all, Xiangshi Yuan Gong was already the top authority in this field in the era of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.

Don't ask Yuan Gong, and no one can answer the question of "whether Jiang Xinghuo is an immortal".

So since you still have to tell Yuan Gong about Jiang Xinghuo in the end, it is better to tell him directly when Yuan Gong takes the initiative to ask now.

With his father's permission, Zhu Gaochi continued.

"It's because the husband who taught him in the township is a registered disciple of Fang Xiaoru, and Jiang Xinghuo was also arrested and imprisoned as Fang Xiaoru's 'tenth clan', and the second brother happened to be in the edict prison some time ago...... rested, and found this person by chance. ”

"This person's remarks are unexpected, and they are often very reasonable, so after Master Dao Yan listened, he was a little fascinated."

"Father suspects that he may be—an immortal!"

Yuan Gong knew this, and he looked at Zhu Di and asked, "Then Your Majesty summoned the old man for the sake of this Jiang Xinghuo, right?" Let the old decay go to him and see if he is an immortal. ”

"Not bad!"

Zhu Di didn't hide it, and said frankly: "I'm tired of Yuan Jushi, Li Jinglong is also 'resting' in the edict prison, and when the time comes, I will ask Jinyiwei to contact Li Jinglong, and through Li Jinglong, Yuan Jushi can get close to Jiang Xinghuo." ”

"The old man's heart is also curious." Yuan Gong rubbed his hands on his dirty clothes, unscrewed the wine jug and poured a sip of wine, "The so-called immortals, the old age, I have never seen it. In the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, what 'one eye of the stone man provoked the Yellow River to rebel against the world' was just a trick of people. The old decay doesn't know if there are immortals in the world, and what will happen to the immortals. ”

After thinking about it, Dao Yan didn't want to listen to their nonsense anymore.

"Let's start with the first one." Dao Yan's tone was affirmative, "They are all worlds ruled by bloods, but there must be differences between the two worlds. ”

"What Jiang Sheng said is all small words and great righteousness."

I don't know when Dao Yan, who had taken spiritual refuge in Jiang Xinghuo, began his own interpretation of Jiang Xinghuo's remarks.

But Jiang Sheng didn't explain the entire course content in detail, and some things that were not particularly important were just flashing by like a flash...... For example, the other effects of iron plough ploughing in the spring and autumn that led to the progress of productivity will inevitably occur in the next progress in productivity. ”

Zhu Gaochi silently repeated: "Other effects of productivity progress? ”

"Lao Gao thinks that there are two most important points in this 'other influence'."

Dao Yan clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice: "First of all, the progress of the productive forces means that the status of the producer must be higher than before in terms of the final result, just like from a slave under the well field system to a yeoman farmer or tenant farmer under the private land system. ”

"The reason is also very simple, after the progress of productivity, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of the original order, and the bloodsucking insects that can be more supported by producers can gain an advantage in the competition with other bloodsucking insects."

Hearing this, not only Zhu Gaochi was thoughtful, but Zhu Di also frowned.

"And what about another important impact?" Zhu Gaochi asked.

"Another important influence is the mind."

As the "Historical Records: The Biography of Guan Yan" said: Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are sufficient and knows honor and disgrace, and the degree of service is six relatives and solid. If the four dimensions are not open, the country will perish, and the order will be like the plain of flowing water, so that it will obey the hearts of the people. The eldest prince might as well tell me what this sentence means. ”

Zhu Gaochi has studied the subset of scriptures and history since he was a child, and this most basic thing is certainly not difficult for him.

It means that only when the granary is full will you know etiquette, and when you are full of food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace; The king used his wealth to follow the system, and the nobles were closely attached; And if the ethics of propriety, righteousness, honesty, and shame are not propagated, the country will perish. The promulgation of government decrees is like the source of flowing water, and it must be able to conform to the will of the people. ”

After listening to this, Dao Yan nodded with satisfaction with his bald head full of black ash: "Lao Wei believes that thought should also be a part of the 'superstructure' as Jiang Sheng said, so the development of productive forces will definitely change thinking. ”

"To a large extent, this change in thinking is not initiated by the producers themselves, who are too busy producing valuable goods to have time to think about them."

"Instead, it's a bloodsampire lying on the producer, and when they suck enough blood, they have time and energy to start thinking about new ideas."

"Just like the emergence of iron plough and ox ploughing in the Spring and Autumn Period, the rise of 'Shi' has also brought a hundred schools of thought to contend."

"At the same time, even if the idea is not put forward by the producers themselves, it will ultimately improve the situation of the producers."

Zhu Gaochi looked at Dao Yan, who was extremely smart and could realize the Tao by himself by following Jiang Xinghuo's theory, and took over the words.

Therefore, Master Daoyan felt that it was just like the progress of productivity caused by the iron plough and oxen ploughing last time, which led to the improvement of the status of producers and the emergence of ideas that are beneficial to producers. Both of these things will happen in the world that will evolve the next time the productivity progresses, and it will be a world ruled by bloodsuckers, but it will be a completely different world for the producers. ”

"Not bad!" Dao Yan nodded in approval, "It's like the truth that a snake cultivates for five hundred years and a dragon for a thousand years." ”

got an explanation of the first question, and for the second question, Zhu Gaochi also upheld a questioning attitude and also raised questions.

"Master, let's not talk about whether the Datong world can be realized...... Even if it is realized, will there be no injustice because of human differences? ”

"It's that people are born equal with each other, but does equality mean real equality?"

"You must know that some people are born wise, some people are dull, and there are brave people and there are cowardly people in the world."

"Then with the accumulation of time, maybe there will be no huge gap between one generation, but after a few generations, there will inevitably be a difference between superior and inferior."

"If it's a different perspective." Zhu Gaochi asked sincerely, "Assuming that equality of status is fairness, is it really fair for those who have established enough meritorious deeds and accumulated enough wealth?" ”

"If, according to the master, the world of Datong will change the fate of people and people because of this, from the original inequality to equality, wouldn't it also make people feel very unfair to the other part?"

"Moreover, since we want to build a world of great harmony, then we must put the interests of ordinary people first, if ordinary people have a talent beyond ordinary people, then who wants to be ordinary people?"

"If everyone is an ordinary person in status, how can we ensure that those who exercise the division of labor such as management do not abuse their power for personal gain?"

"When the time comes, I'm afraid there will be more conflicts, killings, and even wars!"

Zhu Gaochi's words were sonorous and powerful, and every sentence was reasonable, so that everyone could not refute it.
