Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Chapter 22 What is Fame and Knowledge?

The three monkey children were trembling, but they obediently stretched out their palms, then closed their eyes, screaming indiscriminately.

"Do you still dare to play truant?" Zhu Tao asked again after finishing typing.

"Don't dare, Dean!"

"Do you know why I beat you?" Zhu Tao asked again.

"Because we play truant and play truant!" the three monkey children said sadly, all of them were weak.

Zhu Tao smiled, shook his head and said, "More than that, think about it?"

"Because we played truant not to help the family with farming, but to play?"

A monkey child said tentatively.

Zhu Tao still shook his head.

"Is that because we are playing by the water and fall into the water easily?"

"If it's dangerous to play by the water, I used to let you monkey children get close? I'm afraid that the rules have been promulgated long ago to prohibit approaching."

Zhu Tao hates iron but not steel.

"You guys, I really don't know how to say hello to you!" Zhu Tao pointed with the pointer, "I beat you because you are stupid, knowing that you skipped class, yet you dare to come in front of me, the dean!" Shake!"

"You guys are not from good backgrounds, you are just farmers' children, you are really lucky to be able to learn, read, and be taught by teachers." Zhu Tao said with a strong tone: "But you are so stupid to let go Don't seize such a good opportunity, but run out to play!"

"Besides, even if you don't like reading, I can understand it. As long as you are smarter and have me as your boss, you will definitely not be hungry when you grow up."

"But you all foolishly ran around in front of me. If I were a rigid person, I would have already marked you down and become people who are absolutely unwilling to help, understand?"

"This son's words are interesting. I thought you would educate them with the principles of persuasion, but I didn't expect that what you said, there is no subtlety, but it is so profound and true."

While Zhu Tao was teaching a few monkey children, he heard a voice like a silver bell coming from behind him.

Zhu Tao turned his head and saw a twenty-eight-year-old girl with a heroic face standing beside the pavilion, looking at him with a smile.

Traveling to Daming for so many years, Zhu Tao met the eldest daughter-in-law, the young widow and the yellow-haired girl a lot, but it was the first time he met such a beautiful girl.

"I don't know this girl is here, so please don't blame me if she speaks a bit vulgarly. What's your business?" Zhu Tao stood up and saluted.

"The little girl rushed all the way to the capital, and wanted to rest in this pavilion, and just happened to meet the young master teaching the child, and couldn't help but eavesdrop on a few words, how presumptuous, I hope the young master will be happy!" The girl also saluted and responded.

"Hey, what's the offense? As the dean, it's only natural for me to educate children, and it's not something shameful." Zhu Tao said.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Tao glared at the three monkey children: "Go back and write a self-criticism for me, and the homework that is not well written will be doubled!"

The three monkey children suddenly left with a sad face.

After finishing the calf, I just wanted to come out to play for a long time, but I didn't expect to be scolded, punished, and have an extra self-criticism.

It's a bad business.

However, the three children did not dare to complain to Zhu Tao. Zhu Tao is a person whom adults would praise a few words every day, and he is also very kind to children, so the children also respect him very much.

Children, if they admire someone, they are really irrational, more sincere than brainless fans.

"Girl, please sit down." Zhu Tao raised his hand and invited.

"Young master is actually the dean of the academy here. How dare you ask him what his fame is?" The girl sat down and asked curiously, while the maid beside her, Xiaoying, walked out with great interest.

She wasn't worried that her young lady would be underestimated, after all Zhu Tao looked so white and clean that she probably couldn't beat her young lady, but the smell of meat from outside the pavilion attracted her even more.

"Don't call me son, my name is Zhu Tao." Zhu Tao introduced himself to the girl. He is not yet an adult and has no name.

"Okay, my name is Shen Wan'er, and my small character is Lingyu." The girl introduced herself generously.In the feudal era, men did not become adults until they were 20 years old, and then the elders took a table character, while girls became an adult at the age of 15 and could take characters.

"Master Zhu, you haven't said anything yet, what is your fame?" Shen Wan'er asked curiously.In this era, even if it is a school, a scholar is required to be qualified to be a teacher.

And in a place called a college, scholars can only be students. As the dean of the college, is this young man already a juren?
Zhu Tao spread his hands: "I have no fame."

There is a Juren in the college run by Zhu Tao, but he is only a deputy dean, and he usually teaches.

"What? You don't have any fame? Then how did you become the dean?" Shen Wan'er couldn't believe it.

Zhu Tao took it for granted: "Because I run the academy!"

This?
Shen Wan'er looked at Zhu Tao with complicated eyes, it seems that this person is just a playboy who only knows how to spend money!

"Also, Ms. Shen, did you make a mistake?" Zhu Tao said, "Whether you can be the dean or not depends on the importance to the college and your own talents. What does it have to do with fame?"

"However, how can a learned person have no fame?" Shen Wan'er retorted.

Zhu Tao sneered disdainfully and said, "Hehe, imperial examinations and learning have never been connected."

"The imperial examination is nothing more than a channel for promotion. If you want to embark on this path, you must dedicate yourself to the school designated by the imperial court!"

"For example, today's imperial examinations advocate Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. However, Cheng and Zhu are sages, and Cheng-Zhu's knowledge is a good thing. What are Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and these so-called scholars?"

"It's just a group of speculators who try to use Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism as a stepping stone, and once they stand up, they will immediately make money."

How dare he say that?

Shen Wan'er felt that her three views were shocked. She grew up so big, she had never heard anyone dare to say that about scholars, dare to say that about Cheng Zhu School.

But no, think about it carefully, there is really no reason to refute.

"Brother Zhu Tao, you are so bold!" Shen Wan'er said in a complicated tone: "But you can say such words of contempt for the Cheng-Zhu School, you must have your own knowledge, right?"

If you dare to criticize today's scholars without a few drops of ink in your stomach, you are nothing but a clown.

Zhu Tao wanted to say that he studied the Marxist-Leninist School, but even if he wanted to show off in front of a beautiful girl, it would be too much to say these things.

So, Zhu Tao thought for a while and looked into Shen Wan'er's clear eyes: "Miss Shen, have you heard of Xinxue?"

"Study of the heart? Is Wen Angong's heart the same as reason?" Shen Wan'er asked.

Zhu Tao nodded. This girl really knows a little bit of knowledge, so it will be easier for her to fool around.
