Factory owner is king

Chapter 109
"It's because you don't want to prosper if you conspire against others, and you don't commit thieves and thieves. Therefore, you don't close your house outside. This is for the sake of great harmony." Huang Zicheng turned his eyes to Zhu Yunwen: "This is the principle of the great way, and it is also the beauty drawn by the sages and the world. , Your Highness, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand." Zhu Yunwen nodded repeatedly.

One "I understand" is the answer, and two "understands" put together are the attitude. This is to urge Huang Zicheng to leave quickly.Just like when apologizing, "I was wrong" means admitting a mistake, and "I was wrong, okay" means Hong Guoguo is looking for trouble and fighting.The same goes for "OK, OK, OK," "Okay, okay," and "Bye, bye." . . . . .

"Alas," Huang Zicheng nodded sadly, bowed his hands and saluted, "Since that's the case, it's getting late, Your Highness Changsun, let's stop here today, and I hope Your Highness..." After briefly assigning homework, he said After a few words of instructions such as being diligent, Huang Zicheng got up and walked out of Chunfang.

"Huh~" Xu Ruyi and Zhu Yunwen let out a long breath.

But it can be regarded as gone, and everyone is full of truth, which makes people feel sleepy.

Although Xu Ruyi was beaten after the quarrel, Huang Zicheng seemed to have a better attitude after that.While teaching, there were some sarcastic remarks from time to time. Xu Ruyi could hear some of them, but he couldn't hear some of them at all. It was Zhu Yunwen who told him afterwards.But no matter what, at least he didn't deliberately find trouble and cursed again, and his attitude towards Zhu Yunwen was also better.Of course, it's just a few things, so I still won't delay what I need to do.

"Ruyi, is the injury better?" Zhu Yunwen looked at Xu Ruyi with concern.

"Your Majesty is concerned, I'm fine now." Xu Ruyi shook her head and smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay."

After chatting briefly for a while and complaining, Zhu Yunwen asked, "What do you think of Ruyi's theory of Dao that I talked about today?"

Things were back on track, just like Zhu Yuanzhang's earlier arrangement. When Huang Zicheng was there, Xu Ruyi said nothing. After Huang Zicheng left, Xu Ruyi briefly talked to Zhu Yunwen about the "dark" side contained in the book.

Today Huang Zicheng is talking about the pre-Qin article "The Journey of the Great Way".The specific author of this article is no longer available, but it is probably a question-and-answer work written by Confucian scholars in the late Warring States period in the name of Confucius.

This article only describes various beautiful scenes when the world is unified, but it does not mention anything about how to achieve great unity.

Regarding Zhu Yunwen's question, Xu Ruyi did not directly express her own feelings, but asked instead: "Your Highness, how do you think this Great Harmony can be realized?"

"This..." After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yunwen replied: "I don't know, but strict laws and regulations, clear laws and regulations, appointing sages, maybe there is some hope?"

"Yes, I can't." Xu Ruyi smiled and replied: "Although Ruyi has never studied this article before, after listening to Mr. Huang's explanation just now, I still have some insights in my heart."

"I would like to hear the details." Zhu Yunwen raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Zhu Yunwen likes this feeling very much. During these days, Xu Ruyi always comes up with many novel ideas every time after class, which makes his eyes light up.Moreover, the relationship between the two is also master and servant, teacher and friend, which makes him very comfortable and without any sense of restraint.When Huang Zicheng was teaching, he always liked to indoctrinate. Once Zhu Yunwen asked a question, Huang Zicheng would occasionally give a simple answer, but most of the time, he would still confuse him by quoting scriptures, and finally he would ask himself, "Do you understand, Your Highness?" This made Zhu Yunwen very depressed.

"Human nature is greedy and cannot be changed. It is normal for me to have what others don't have and to be better than others. In fact, to put it bluntly, everyone wants to live a good life." Xu Ruyi reached out and poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yunwen: "Strictly enforce laws and appoint wise men. It may be helpful, but in the final analysis, he cannot make society move into great harmony. The poor has a plan, the rich has a conscience, and no matter how strict the law is, it cannot avoid this. Besides, officials are also human beings, and the emperor has been doing this for decades. You have also seen the corrupt officials arrested, who is a sage? Or is the punishment for peeling day lilies not severe enough?"

"..." Zhu Yunwen picked up the teacup, showing a thoughtful expression, only feeling that Xu Ruyi's words were meaningful.

"But what is a good life?" Xu Ruyi bowed and said, "I am most afraid of comparison in everything. As the saying goes, people will die when comparing goods, and throw away goods when comparing goods. This is the truth. The poor want to be rich, but the rich are not satisfied. As long as The gap has always existed, and it is a joke to want the world to be unified."

Saying that the sage's article was a joke, Xu Ruyi dared to say it in front of Zhu Yunwen, and if it spread, he would probably be spanked by the emperor.

"You mean... the rich and the poor?" Zhu Yunwen seemed to understand Xu Ruyi's meaning.

Xu Ruyi nodded and said: "That's right, it's about equalizing the rich and the poor, but it's very difficult. If you want to make the rich poor, you might as well kill him, so what the court can do, or what the emperor has been doing, is to make the poor poor." Wealth, to put it simply, is to let the common people live a good life. The gap is inevitable, but the wealth in the eyes of the common people is nothing more than a family with surplus food, which is still somewhat possible.”

"Don't we, the people of the Ming Dynasty, even have enough food left in their homes?" Zhu Yunwen said with some dissatisfaction.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was his grandfather, who worked diligently and devoted himself to politics, and he saw it all.Now Xu Ruyi said that the common people had no food left in their homes, how could he accept it.

Xu Ruyi hurriedly explained: "No, no, the surplus grain mentioned by the servant girl is not just a few buckets of rice or even a few tans of rice. It refers to the surplus grain that can survive the disaster. Farmers rely on the sky for food, and when there is a disaster, they have to sell their houses. What’s the point of living in a dilapidated house with nothing in it even if they survived?”

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was still in disbelief, Xu Ruyi rolled her eyes and said, "Your Highness, if you want to verify the truth of what the servant said is true, you might as well..."

Xu Ruyi bit Zhu Yunwen's ear and whispered.

As for Zhu Yunwen, his face was red and white, tangled and excited, as if he had opened an oil and salt shop.

"Is this... nothing going to happen?" Zhu Yunwen said hesitantly, but the expression on his face and the light in his eyes clearly revealed his heart: "Persuad me again, persuade me again and I will agree."

"Oh, forget it. Pretend I didn't say it." Xu Ruyi shrank back at the critical moment.

"Don't." Zhu Yunwen was about to howl, but when he saw the smile in Xu Ruyi's eyes, he pushed him angrily: "You are still called Ruyi, so forget about changing your name."

"Change to what?"

"Bao, you can call Xu Huai."
