Chapter 298 Scholars’ Discussion of the New Ming Dynasty (Please subscribe!)

After the Ming Dynasty returned, the minds of the scholars and even the elders became very active. Everyone directly agreed on places in different places in the outer city to have discussions and discussions, as if they had returned to the romantic days of Qinhuai.

On the shore of Houhu, a group of scholars were sitting around. Their servants had already prepared wine glasses and various foods for their young masters, and even the Four Treasures of the Study were prepared: pens, inks, paper, and inkstones.

The celebrities were sitting together and in a happy mood. A man wearing a green scarf said movedly: "I have never been so happy in my life. Today, I will let all of you know it!"

Just like a group of prisoners imprisoned in an invisible prison, they have been locked up for too long and many of their emotions have been suppressed.

To this day, Jiangning has once again become Yingtianfu. Although the new emperor is silent but powerful in worshiping Taizu at Xiaoling, it seems that the Ming Dynasty is in sight of reversing its course. They, a group of scholars, can also gather together again and talk loudly.

Worry about other things.

Many people even shed tears while drinking.

"Mr. Shan Shi, you are well-informed. Maybe you can tell everyone what happened in the new Ming Dynasty." While the wine was still in full swing, someone suddenly asked.

Mr. Shan Shi is Wang Hongzhuan. He is from Huayin County, Shaanxi Province. He is over fifty years old. Although his appearance is ordinary, his temperament is very transcendent.

He was a good friend of Gu Yanwu. He loved to travel to the south of the Yangtze River. He had no intention of pursuing an official career in his life and devoted himself to studying. Gu Yanwu praised him for his tireless study.

He said he had no intention of pursuing an official career, but in fact he just didn't want to work hard for the Tatars.

This guy completely corresponds to Zhu Kezang’s True Confucianism.

He is Yan Yuan.

Now, as soon as he heard that the Ming Dynasty was back, he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River again from his hometown in Shaanxi Province. After planning to travel to the south of the Yangtze River, he went to Lingnan to join the new Ming Dynasty court. Unexpectedly, Yingtian Mansion was recovered before he traveled long.

He doesn't work hard for the Tatars, but he will lend a helping hand when he sees that the people are having a hard time.

When the banquet came to an end, Wang Hongzhuan took Yan Yuan to a deserted place, and the two of them cooked wine and talked about life.

Don't think it's just Fu Yin. This official position is a big one. It's the third rank. In the old Ming Dynasty, only Shuntian Prefecture and Yingtian Prefecture had the official position of Fu Yin.

Speaking of True Confucianism, there was a great Confucian at the scene who had already defected to True Confucianism.

The purpose of Wang Hongzhuan's coming here to attend the banquet today is to find some talents for Zhu Kezang to supplement the new Yingtian court that is about to be established.

He had already met Zhu Kezang yesterday at the New Imperial Academy of Yingtian Mansion. He hit it off with the emperor and immediately named him the Yin of Yingtian Mansion. He will take office in the next two days.

When he was twenty-three years old, he read all the seven military books. In order to learn the art of war and study military offensive and defensive techniques, he stayed up all night, and even practiced martial arts frequently.

Wang Hong wrote a very informative article and said: "From my perspective on the emperor's new policy, this council is really good. The emperor broke the old system of Taizu and re-established the prime minister. Although he is not called that, he is called the prime minister, but it is basically the same thing.

There is a prime minister and several deputy prime ministers in the parliament, who discuss it together with the ministers of various ministries. When all decrees are implemented, there are laws and regulations to follow. The efficiency is not comparable to the cabinet of the past. It seems that these are just formal things, but I visited the New Imperial College yesterday.

, after listening to it a few times, I realized that there is a great mystery in Ming Dynasty!"

In the lecture hall he opened, there were pianos, yu, bows, arrows, chips, and pipes. He led students every day to study etiquette, music, archery, books, and mathematics, and to explore practical studies such as military, agriculture, water, and fire.

.

Wang Hongzhuan warned that after all, most of the people sitting here today are scholars who want to make a career in the new Ming Dynasty.

Such a great scholar, but he had a regret in his heart, that is, his good friend Gu Yanwu did not see the day when Daming came back.

If Zhu Kezang knew about this person, he would definitely invite him to serve as a sacrificial wine in the New Imperial Academy.

Wang Hongzhuan clapped his hands and sighed: "I used to think so, but I was wrong! Think about it, our Ming Dynasty was almost driven out and killed. The disaster of Curse Water, including Emperor Yongli, Duke Qian and other last

All the ministers of the Ming Dynasty have been martyred, and the Yanping County Prince was defeated miserably in the Eastern Expedition. Who is left among the so-called ministers and generals?"

Zhu Kezang didn't know this person, but Wang Hongzhuan did.

"Hunran, what's the matter?"

"Hunran (Yan Yuan's word), I might as well tell you clearly that the emperor has promised me to take the official position of Yin in Tianfu and let me find scholars for him. I think you agree with the emperor's true Confucianism and will follow me to the Imperial College tomorrow to meet with the emperor.

." Wang Hongzhuan said straight to the point.

In another article "Yan'an Textile Discussion", he said that the price of cloth in Yan'an is several times higher than that in Xi'an, the people live in poverty, and the national tax revenue is decreasing day by day because the local peasant women cannot weave.

He advocated that the government distribute textile machinery and tools to the people in Yan'an and recruit textile experts from Guanzhong to teach technology and help Yan'an develop the textile industry.

Someone asked: "Mr. Shan Shi, are you exaggerating? After all, the emperor is only a twenty-year-old young man. If the great cause of supporting the country can be successful, the great ministers and pillar generals in the court should have more credit."

"In addition, if you want to become an official in the new dynasty, you may wish to read more of the emperor's true Confucian books."

Moreover, when Yan Yuan was engaged in educational activities, he advocated educating students with the Six Virtues, Six Elements, Six Arts of Zhou Gong and the Four Teachings of Confucius.

It turned out that Yan Yuan's father's name was Yan Chang. Because his family was poor, he adopted him as an adopted son at Zhu Jiuzuo's house in Liu Village, Li County when he was young, and changed his surname to Zhu.

Gu Yanwu passed away two years ago. In 1682, before the new Ming Dynasty became prosperous, he passed away suddenly.

"Mr. Shan Shi, although I also intend to serve the Ming Dynasty, there is still one thing on my mind and I am unable to calm down." Yan Yuan said in embarrassment.

Yan Yuan can be said to be Zhu Kezang's favorite talent. If he is trained more, he may even become the next prime minister.

"Everyone, I know a little about many things, but I know everything I know and I can't explain it. Speaking of which, I really have nothing but admiration and admiration for our emperor. The emperor is only in his weak years, but he has courage that ordinary people do not have.

He Cai Xue, every time I think about this, people can't help but believe that this emperor is probably the reincarnation of the Emperor Star, and he knows it from birth."

Yan Yuan devoted his life to practicing medicine and teaching. He inherited and carried forward Confucius' educational thoughts, advocating equal emphasis on "learning to move", "practical learning", "practicing practice" and "application", that is, moral education, intellectual education, and physical education.

We should pay equal attention to both civil and military affairs, and advocate cultivating strong men who are capable of both civil and military skills and can be effective in the world.

In 1678, he traveled north to Yan'an and wrote the article "Yan'an Farming Discussion", advocating that the garrison in Suiyan area should be allowed to farm, reclaim wasteland, and grow food, which could not only supplement the shortage of military pay, but also solve the shortage of food for the people.

Yan Yuan was born in the Zhu family and named Zhu Bangliang.

His father, Yan Chang, was often discriminated against and abused in the Zhu family. He was extremely angry and depressed, and had the idea of ​​​​escape from the family.

In the winter of the 11th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji led the Qing troops into the Pass and plundered the Gyeonggi area. Yan Chang took the opportunity to flee with the army outside the Pass, and there has been no news from him since.

Yan Yuan is now 49 years old. His regret is that he wants to find his father.
