Zheng Hong was stunned!

He felt that his outlook on life had been greatly impacted.

Starving to death is a small matter, but losing integrity is a big deal!

These are the words of a saint. How could this be wrong?

You changed your last name just for five acres of land?

After a severe beating, Zheng Hong felt that his body and spirit had been greatly shocked, but he fainted.

When I woke up, it was already starry.

Zheng Hong felt that his throat was a little dry. When he turned around, he saw Gu Yanwu looking at him: "Wake up!"

"Where am I?" Zheng Hong couldn't help but ask.

"We are still at the farm!" Gu Yanwu handed Zheng Hong a bowl of porridge and said with a smile: "Try it, this is the porridge from the farm!"

Zheng Hong looked at the porridge in his hand.

The man fell into silence. He glanced at Gu Yanwu and asked, "Gu Yanwu, have you ever experienced the feeling of hunger?"

Gu Yanwu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There was a time when my widowed mother was the daughter of Wang Qi. She was unmarried at the age of 16 and she kept her virginity. She weaved during the day and taught me how to read at night. She often didn't have enough to eat!"

"Then, let me ask you, if I give you five acres of fertile land, would you be willing to change your surname?" Zheng Hong asked.

"this!"

Gu Yanwu smiled bitterly and said: "Think about it, I won't change it, but my situation is very different from these people. Although I don't have enough to eat, I can still eat something. These people, I'm afraid they can't even eat.

, I am not them, and I don’t know if I would choose to change my surname if I were like them!"

Zheng Hong gritted his teeth and put the porridge in his hand on the ground: "I won't drink this porridge!"

Speaking of this, Zheng Hong said: "In that case, then I will fully understand what hunger feels like!"

Zheng Hong's family is well off, but he has never experienced what it feels like to be hungry. His actions really surprised Gu Yanwu: "Don't eat? How do you know what it feels like to be hungry?"

"Okay then!" Gu Yanwu didn't say much and just nodded: "Whatever you want!"

Gu Yanwu drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and began to read by the weak candlelight. Zheng Hong asked: "What book are you reading?"

"materialism!"

Gu Yanwu slowly said: "Yuan Fu has written a new article!"

"What article?" Zheng Hong couldn't help but ask.

"Without investigation, there is no right to speak!" Gu Yanwu said slowly: "Yuanfu believes that investigating problems is to solve problems. During the investigation process, we will find out where the problems lie, and then we can solve these problems.

!”

Speaking of this, Gu Yanwu smiled and said: "The most terrifying thing is to hold a book and think that what the saint said is right. If you leave the actual investigation, you are divorced from reality and idealistic. Then the result will be opportunities and blind actions sooner or later, which will have consequences for the people."

Hurtful!”

"If the imperial court wants to implement reforms, first of all, we have to investigate. The purpose of conducting investigations is to get the correct ideas and then formulate correct national policies. If the students in Datong want to truly do things for the people, then they must go deep into

Understand the situation in Ming Dynasty!"

In the past, Zheng Hong would have naturally scorned Zhang Haogu's article.

This is a treacherous minister. How can his words make sense?

But now, Zheng Hong felt deeply that what Zhang Haogu said seemed to make sense. Did he think that the Kong family was forced by Zhang Haogu before, so he chose to change his surname?

?

As a result, it was because of my own blindness that I received this beating.

Think about it again, are these five acres of land really that important?

His family still has a lot of land, and his family is well off, so he naturally thinks it is not important. Although Gu Yanwu said that it is common to be hungry and not have enough to eat, he was asked to change his surname for five acres of land.

That's also unlikely.

However, these people really do not have enough to eat, and they are often struggling to survive.

In this way, let alone asking them to give up the surname Kong, even if they were given the same surname as cats and dogs, they would be very happy.

Zheng Hong really felt hungry.

After not eating for two days, he felt that his body had no strength, his spirit began to become dull, and his stomach was empty. Although he drank some water not long ago, he still felt hungry like never before.

On the fourth day, Zheng Hong finally couldn't stand it anymore.

After drinking a few mouthfuls of gruel, his physical strength began to slowly recover, and he fell into deep thought.

Life in this farm is quite rich. Sometimes, there will be people rehearsing plays to enrich their spiritual life.

Setting up a stage to act, or maybe it's a bit rough, it can be said that it doesn't matter what you want.

However, when Mr. Huang in the play was knocked down, there were still waves of applause from the people around him.

The entire investigation team is thinking.

They are all passionate young people and are the easiest to be exploited, but to a certain extent, they are also the group of people with the most dreams and ideals.

If they can be utilized well, they will be the hope for the future of Ming Dynasty.

A series of hardships lay before Zheng Hong.

When he was hungry, Zheng Hong suddenly realized many truths that he had not felt before.

Gradually, he began to have topics with Gu Yanwu.

Why are the people of the Kong family unwilling to change their names to Kong? Did Zhang Haogu just give them five acres of land? No, Zhang Haogu gave them more, including labor, education, dignity, and more.

Give them enough spiritual life.

This is what Zhang Haogu gave them, not just five acres of land, but telling them that this land is yours, it is the income from your own labor, and you should enjoy it.

Right?

Zheng Hong felt that this was correct. These guys in the Kong Mansion were really bad. They were simply beasts.

Within half a month, Zheng Hong understood.

He began to take a serious look at Zhang Haogu's materialism, and a group of people gathered together to discuss it.

Zhang Haogu is right, the Kong family should be overthrown.

When I returned to the posthouse again, it had been renamed Xueerguan, and this group of scholars from other places were very welcome.

Then, Zheng Hong heard someone speaking wildly: "Zhang Haogu is such a treacherous villain. We will work together to put pressure on Zhang Haogu so that he can know the integrity and power of us scholars!"

This is a new group of scholars gathered here again.
