Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

At this time, Zhu Di's mood was like a roller coaster, he was lifted to the top by someone flickeringly, and then sank to the bottom by flickering again.

This little boy keeps jumping and jumping, I just hope that Zhu Tao's mouth will stop talking, he's riding a horse, staying with him for a long time is terrible.

At this moment, I heard Zhu Yuanzhang say: "Taiping, what did you learn from Tao'er?"

"When growing peppers, there is a kind of fertilizer that needs to be added to make the peppers red and big.

"But this kind of fertilizer can't be used to grow potatoes, because potatoes are knotted on the roots. There is also something called chemical fertilizer. Although it can accelerate the ripening of crops, you can't use too much, otherwise it will make the seedlings turn yellow..."

Hearing Zhu Biao's introduction about the experimental field, the three chief ministers of the cabinet were dumbfounded.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud, and turned his head to look at Song Lian next to him.

"Mr. Song, what do you think of Taiping's knowledge?"

Although Song Lian was very knowledgeable, Confucian scholarship in the early Ming Dynasty had always been quite rough, and he was also unavoidable. When he wrote the history of Dali, he once shifted the year name by more than 60 years.

This is true for this profession, not to mention things other than Confucianism. After a long time of embarrassment, I said something politely.

"The sage said: I am not as good as Lao Pu, and my humble minister is not as good as Lao Pu, even Shao Pu."

Hearing what Lao Song meant, he clearly looked down on farming.

Zhu Tao was a little upset, so he looked at this gentleman.

"Mr. Song, in fact, there is a lot of knowledge about farming. It is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. If you don't understand it, you can't do it. Why don't you learn it from Laopu."

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly felt funny when he heard that this young man with no hair on his face was teaching this erudite Confucian a lesson.

That is Song Shoufu, seeing our face is not difficult for you, change the place, if you say he will try, I am afraid he will be punished by the ruler.

This old Song used to be Zhu Biao's teacher, and he was very strict when teaching Zhu Biao. Zhu Yuanzhang once granted him "just not to die" when he was disciplined.

The prince is so afraid of Song Lian, the other princes can imagine.

Seeing that Zhu Tao was tough on Song Lian, Zhu Di squinted his eyes to watch the show, and said in his heart: The ignorant is fearless, and you will know how terrifying this Mr. Song is after a while. If you teach him, aren't you playing tricks?
Although he saw that the Zhu family's father and son were very kind to Zhu Tao, Song Lian was somewhat dissatisfied because of his high temper.

He snorted: "The ways of sages and sages are vast, and I haven't learned a thing or two even if I have a lot of knowledge. How can I waste my time on such lowly things."

Zhu Tao stood up: "Mr. Song, you are wrong!"

Song Lian was taken aback: "Shaodong's family, the old man doesn't hear anything out of the window, and only reads sage books all his life, what's wrong?"

"What is the purpose of reading? Naturally, you should apply what you have learned. Otherwise, if you just read and don't use it, what good will it be even if you break through thousands of volumes every day?"

"This one……"

Although Song Lian is very knowledgeable, he is only a theoretical talent. In today's terms, he is a professorial talent. If he is asked to deal with some practical matters, he may not be better than Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen.

So after hearing Zhu Tao's words, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Then I heard Zhu Tao say again: "Mr. Song said that reading only the books of sages and sages is to gain knowledge through learning, but it is obviously not enough to be full of knowledge, and you need your actions to test what you have learned. It is right to use it. Yes, if you can’t use it, that’s the dragon-slaying skill, and it’s useless if you learn it, so it’s not difficult to learn to gain knowledge, what’s difficult is the unity of knowledge and action.”

Unity of knowledge and action?No one has ever come up with this concept since there was admission.

Not only did the three chief ministers of the cabinet feel refreshed, but even Zhu Di, Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang were refreshed.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up.

"Tao'er, your concept of the unity of knowledge and action is quite novel, I wonder where it came from?"

Zhu Tao smiled: "My child often reads classics, and I once pondered a question. The same half of the Analects, why do some people read it in a daze, and some people can calm the world after reading it? It's just the difference between whether it can be done or not." .”

After hearing this, Song Lian's eyes lit up.

As the prince, the Taifu is a certain arrogant person. Sometimes he becomes stubborn and doesn't even sell Zhu Yuanzhang's face. However, he also has the advantage of being a literati who likes to seek knowledge, and he will be ecstatic when he hears the truth.

He stood up and hugged Zhu Tao respectfully.

"Listening to Jun's words is better than reading ten years of books. The Shaodong family has far-sightedness, I am convinced!"

Liu Bowen knew Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts best, so he asked suddenly.

"Shaodong, I don't know if there is a ready-made text for your theory of the unity of knowledge and action. Can you write it down and ask me to read it later?"

Zhu Tao smiled, but didn't immediately agree.

Liu Bowen said disappointedly to Zhu Yuanzhang: "My old club, it seems that I have made things difficult for others."

At this time Zhu Yuanzhang said beside him.

"Tao'er, if you have any insight, don't hide it, just say it out, these gentlemen have seen the world, please give them advice, so that you can make a name for yourself."

The three said together: "We still need to ask the young master for advice."

They all thought that Zhu Tao was pretending to be mysterious, but in fact he was secretly guilty in his heart.

"Master Wang Yangming, I'm sorry, in order to cope with today's situation, I had no choice but to write down your mind theory and hand it over to an errand."

Seeing the repeated urging of the crowd, he said this.

"But you have to give me some time."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Song, you often come to the Young Master's house to have a look. If you need anything, feel free to bring it to him. We must let this book come out as soon as possible and dedicate it to the imperial court. Our face is also honored."

The two thought it was a beautiful job, and it was their dream to be close to such a learned Confucian every day.

So they all readily agreed, and then looked at Li Shanchang with a meaningful look.

"Old Li, I'm sorry, the work at the old club will have to be done by you who are able."

Early the next morning, Liu Bowen and Song Lian came to Zhu Tao's Zhuangzi, and rushed to the study impatiently.

To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others left yesterday, and these two stayed, but Zhu Tao was amazed.

This product does not use a brush, but a hard pen called a water-absorbing pen. When writing, it is not written from top to bottom, but from left to right.

Moreover, what he wrote was not an orthodox "authentic book". There were also some vulgar characters, regularized cursive script, and some characters mixed in. If he didn't say it, neither of these two people would know what to read.

Only when you ask him, he will tell you that it is called "simplified characters".

That's all, what's even more strange is that he also draws some strange circles, dots and other lines after each sentence, what he calls these punctuation marks.

At first, the two people still sneered at the so-called punctuation marks, but after reading what he wrote, they felt that the reading speed accelerated.

You don't need to rack your brains to make sentences, and you can figure out the meaning of each sentence.

After careful consideration, this so-called punctuation mark is really amazing.
