For the students of the civil service school, they were not familiar with Zhu Yijun, so when Zhu Yijun appeared here, they didn't care much except that they felt it was novel. Just seeing Lu Shenxing with Zhu Yijun surprised these people.

"Your Majesty, the yard where Mr. Li lives in front of you!"

Lu Shenxing pointed to a small yard not far away and said.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, go and do whatever you should do!" After that, he took Zhang Jing in.

After entering the yard, Zhu Yijun found that it was not a big yard, three rooms, there was a pear tree in the yard, and now there were no leaves. There was a stone table and several stone benches in the yard.

Zhu Yijun saw Li Zhi at a glance, and saw that he was making a stove. The charcoal fire was getting strong, and Li Zhi was roasting something.

After a closer look, it turned out to be sweet potatoes. Zhu Yijun immediately smiled and walked straight to Li Zhi's side. He found that he was still roasting very seriously and didn't even hear footsteps. Zhu Yijun found that Li Zhi was very skilled in roasting sweet potatoes, which was obviously not the first time he had dried them.

"Give me one too!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile when he saw that Li Zhi still didn't respond.

Li Zhi was shocked when he heard someone's words, but when he heard what the person was saying, he quickly raised his head and knelt down and said, "See the Emperor!"

"Okay!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and then said to Zhang Jing behind him: "Go, bring a stool, I will talk to Li Aiqing here!"

Li Zhi also stood up at this time, stood respectfully aside, and said nothing.

After Zhang Jing's chair was moved in, Zhu Yijun sat down and said to Li Zhi with a smile: "Sit down, let's talk, you roast sweet potatoes, don't forget to roast one for me, I really want to eat it!"

Is this a lie? There was an old man selling roasted sweet potatoes at the entrance of Zhu Yijun University in his previous life.

Every night when he went back to his dormitory after evening study, Zhu Yijun would buy one. The sweet roasted sweet potatoes accompanied him through that hard study. For Zhu Yijun, roasted sweet potatoes were not just food.

I saw it in this life and really wanted to eat it. Of course, it was also closer to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "It is my honor to be able to invite the emperor to dinner."

Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhi and said, "I heard from Lu Shenxing that you have come out of seclusion, so I want to come over and talk to you. You were brought by me from Jiangnan, and I have the responsibility to take good care of you."

"I'm also very curious. I want to see what you have learned and say something to me."

Li Zhi was silent for a moment and said, "I have realized something. I am going to write while teaching. I also think that Your Majesty allows me to teach a few students and spread the doctrine."

"You said it well, I will let you gather disciples from Xinxue!" Zhu Yijun made a faint promise.

Zhu Yijun thought about it very far than Li Zhi. It would not work to break a path hard in this era, and someone needed support. Now, the study of the mind is very prosperous, and many officials in the court are disciples of the study of the mind.

Zhu Yijun didn't think they were so sincere. Of course, there must be some old-fashioned guards. But most of them use this as an advancement level. When they show their support for Li Zhi's academic theories, countless people will inevitably come to learn.

At that time, this disciple of the Heart Scholar will be able to quickly gather countless disciples.

"I want to write a book called "On the People"," Li Zhi said with a smile: "This is not a book, but an article, an article explaining his own theory. I have thought about the first sentence of the beginning, but I am still thinking about it."

"Let me tell me!" Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhi and said with encouragement in his eyes.

Li Zhi did not make a fool of himself, and said directly: "Heaven cultivates all people, and all people live in equality!"

After hearing Li Zhi's words, Zhu Yijun almost fell off the chair. This sounded too familiar. Looking at Li Zhi carefully, this guy was not from time to time, right? Zhu Yijun was more familiar with this sentence.

That is: all people are born equal and enjoy the inalienable rights given to them by the Creator, including life, freedom and the right to pursue happiness. We believe that these universal truths are self-evident.

This sentence comes from the very famous Declaration of Independence in later generations and is definitely famous.

Li Zhi's sentence "Heaven cultivates all peoples, and all people live in equality" is simply a replica of this statement!

After staring at Li Zhi for a while, Zhu Yijun suppressed the urge to pull this guy out and asked with a smile: "How did you understand this truth?"

"I have a good study of Buddhism, and Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings."

"Taoism emphasizes inaction, inaction between people and inaction between heaven and earth. These are all expounding one point of view, that is equality. Confucianism emphasizes the doctrine of the mean and benevolence."

"I think that only equality can lead to be kindness. If you be kind to pigs and dogs, a gentleman will stay away from the kitchen. That is false benevolence and righteousness. If you really be kind, you should not eat it. Without eating, you will naturally not kill it. Why not study Buddhism?"

Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhi with a strange expression. Do you want to say "no business, no killing?" This style is completely wrong!

"I just read the theories of various schools and finally realized this principle. Heaven educates all people, and all people will live in equality!" At this point, a flash of fanaticism flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, which was completely different from him who had just roasted sweet potatoes.

"Where do people come from? Whether Nuwa creates humans, heaven creates humans, or Buddha creates humans, can there be a distinction between them when they create humans?"

"No, Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all beings, Taoism emphasizes that the heaven and earth are unkind and treats all things as straw dogs. Since there is no inequality when people appear, why do they divide people into three or six or nine levels now? Heaven nurtures all people, and all people live in equality."

Zhu Yijun looked at the fanatical Li Zhi, and he wanted to shout loudly, but he still asked himself to stop.

"But they are all businessmen, they are cheap businesses. They don't do production, buy and sell, and get huge profits. Shouldn't they belittle them?" Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhi and asked such a question.

Li Zhi shook his head and said seriously: "There are good people in all walks of life and bad people."

"There are no bad people in scholars? Should they be despised by those who embezzle food and pay, fish and meat? Of course! Are there any bad people in the farming world? Of course, there are some. They are lazy, greedy, do not farm well, and cannot raise wives and children. Should they be despised by them? Of course."

"Are there any good people among the merchants? Of course, they are in the world, although they sell, they are connected to the world. Although they are not engaged in production, they also communicate with each other. They have not stolen or robbed them, and they make money through their own hard work. Why should they be despised?"

"Those who are profiteering, those who use inferiority as good people, and those who deceive the people should be despised."

"The despise should not be based on what industry to do, but on what they did. The sages taught us to be kind and follow the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, so those who violate these should of course be despised."

Li Zhi was very excited and waved his hands, with a strong sense of guidance: "So, I realized this sentence, 'Heaven cultivates all peoples, and all people are the basis'."

What a great idea!

Regardless of the others, Zhu Yijun is very optimistic about Li Zhi's idea. This is a good theory of breaking the inherent class and shaping values. Zhu Yijun really didn't expect that Li Zhi could actually understand these things. It's really amazing!

However, there is a problem to be solved, that is, what should I do as the emperor.

Heaven educates all peoples, and all people live in equality. So should I be like this, the emperor?

"Then what should I do?" Zhu Yijun looked at Li Zhi and asked such a key question.

Li Zhi's thoughts are a further idea that both industry and commerce are based on both industry and commerce are more radical. You should know that both industry and commerce are based on both industry and commerce have long existed, and are more easily accepted. Nowadays, scholars are no longer news, and everyone does this.

But what I said before was too ruthless. Now I pulled off the cloth and couldn't hold it on my face.

Of course, the more important reason is that many people can use this theory to exclude other people, real merchants, forcing them to rely on scholars, otherwise they will not be able to survive, which also led to the transformation of merchants into scholars and becoming officials and businessmen.

Zhu Yijun likes Li Zhi's thoughts more, and he also thinks it makes sense. As for how to promote it, Zhu Yijun feels that he is much better than the people of this era.

There are newspapers and internal factories, as long as you are willing to spend money, like the US election in the future, it is not impossible to portray Li Zhi as a saint. Start building schools and implementing free education, and Li Zhi's thoughts taught in these schools.

During the imperial examination, the large-scale admission of Li Zhi's disciples was naturally able to make this idea mainstream.

After persisting for more than ten or twenty years, the idea of ​​emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce will naturally be swept into the garbage dump.

What Zhu Yijun now needs to see is how Li Zhi answers his question before he can decide what he should do.

"Heaven cultivates all peoples, and all people are the foundation. Your Majesty is the Emperor. He was sent by God to rule all people. Naturally, we must put all people first, treat everyone equally, and seek benefits for all people. Even officials have the responsibility to defend the land and safeguard the people, let alone the emperor calls him?"

Li Zhi said this very powerfully, and he just stuck his neck.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun almost laughed out loud. Li Zhi's statement that "the son of heaven governs all people" is actually a divine right of the king. To put it bluntly, it is a restriction of the king's power.

As the emperor sent by God to rule all people, you should treat everyone equally and benefit all people.

This theory emphasizes the emperor's divine authority and the theory that "Heaven educates all peoples, and all people live in equality" is undoubtedly extremely attractive to Zhu Yijun. As for the later part that restricts the emperor's authority, Zhu Yijun doesn't care much about it.

Zhu Yijun is now the emperor, but he comes from later generations and he knows the consequences of unrestricted monarchy.

Although I don’t know what Li Zhi’s theory will eventually give birth, Zhu Yijun still thinks he should give it a try. In fact, Zhu Yijun has another concern, that is, the divine authority of the monarchy advocated by Li Zhi.

With this divine authority of the monarch, it can be considered that a new reason for loyalty to the emperor was found, but Zhu Yijun felt that it would be easy to have a doctrine of fanaticism about the emperor when combined with Confucianism. In addition, the Han Dynasty is now strong and there are barbarians outside. The very easy-to-derive the doctrine is: racism!
