Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

"As the ancients said, books contain beautiful women and golden houses."

"Ancient people also said, 'Why is the water so clear? Because it comes from a source of fresh water.'"

Books are the endless source of living water, injecting endless nutrients into students' minds and nourishing their thoughts and vision.

The so-called broad reading and selective selection, accumulation of knowledge and release of experience.

Reading expands our horizons and broadens our minds.

"What everyone said is actually correct. There are many benefits to reading. People in the world always say that reading is the only thing that matters most."

Yan Nansheng wanted to find an empty seat to sit down, but found that there seemed to be no empty seats.

He simply stood in the middle of the room with his hands behind his back.

"It is not so easy for ordinary people like us to get the opportunity to study. As we all know, studying is a very luxurious thing."

"Almost all the children in our school come from ordinary farmers' families. To support your education, we have almost exhausted all the manpower, material resources and financial resources of our families."

"The reason why our Yan family's clan school accepts students from outside the Yan family is because we have seen how difficult it is for children in the north to study in recent years."

"Reading can enlighten you, and reading thousands of books can help you travel thousands of miles. But we must never forget why we read."

"Everyone has different purposes for studying, and we need to experience and pay on the road to studying."

The children in the school were fascinated by what they heard. It was the first time they heard such a statement.

The adults in the family just let them read and didn't ask them to do anything. They only needed to read and practice writing.

It turns out that reading also needs to have a purpose?

"The book contains what our predecessors have learned over the past thousands of years. They have spent their entire lives compiling their experiences and insights into books, which will help us in later generations."

"By learning from their achievements, we can gain insight into the truth of this world and understand how to behave in society."

“So reading is not just a stepping stone to success in the imperial examinations. The most important thing about books is that they teach us how to cultivate ourselves, regulate our families, govern our country, and bring peace to the world.”

"And scientific research is just one of the ways we embark on this journey."

At this time, it was so quiet inside and outside the Yan family school that one could not hear a pin drop.

Is the imperial examination just one of the ways to govern the family, the country and the world?

Is there any other way to achieve something?

Such remarks are really novel.

A lot of people had gathered outside the window. They all stood quietly in the corridor under the window, listening silently to Yan Nansheng's seemingly ridiculous argument.

"Studying is for understanding reason, not just for the purpose of passing the imperial examinations and becoming an official. Didn't those agricultural books help the development of the world?"

"The compilation of agricultural books requires a thorough study of agriculture, so that future generations will have solutions to agricultural problems."

Yes, food is the most important thing for people. To put it bluntly, it is for the purpose of living and having enough to eat.

"But if you don't know how to read and write, no matter how good you are at farming, only you or your descendants will know about it. How much help can it bring to the whole of Daqing?"

"So, reading should have a purpose. Why do you read? There is nothing shameful in reading for any purpose."

"Three hundred and sixty lines, and he will be the number one scholar."

“No matter what your purpose of studying is, I hope you can achieve what you want and make the most of your youth.”

“Here, let me also talk about the purpose of my study.”

The people inside the house outside the window pricked up their ears at this moment.

They also wanted to know what the purpose of studying was for this genius from the Yan family, who had passed the imperial examination and ranked first at the age of five.

Is it really for the future development of the Yan family?

In order to become the best among all the others.

Yan Nansheng walked to the steps in front of the school and stood in front of the desk.

She looked around, at those young and sincere faces.

His voice was sonorous and powerful, with the unique clarity of a teenager.

"To establish a mind for the world! To establish a destiny for the people!"

"Continue the unique learning for the past saints! Create peace for all generations!"

Her every word touched the heart of everyone present, echoing endlessly.

What a great idea to establish one's mind for heaven and earth and one's destiny for the people.

Isn’t everything the Yan family says and does proving this statement?

After today, Yan Nansheng's words and all his remarks on reading spread, flowed into the hearts of thousands of scholars, and also into the hearts of the people of the Daqing Dynasty.

It also triggered a nationwide craze for reading and enlightenment.

Of course that's all for later.

At this time in the Yan family academy, a white-haired old man was standing next to Lord Shen Zhui, and both of them looked a little excited.

Carry forward the unique knowledge of the ancient sages and bring peace to the world for all eternity!

This rising star of the Yan family really opened their eyes.

They looked at the tall figure of the young man in the house, who was emitting a sacred light all over his body.

He is using his own efforts to change and influence the younger generation of readers' exploration of "why to study" in this world.

The old man's beard was trembling slightly. It had been a long time since he heard such an eye-opening argument.

This kind of magnanimity is something that others cannot learn.

This Jiuyou Palace is truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden.

Suddenly I felt that this trip was worth it.

When Yan Nansheng turned around, the old man could see the child's appearance clearly.

"It's him……"

He stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.

Shen Zhui, who was standing next to him, looked at the old man and asked, "Sir, do you know Mr. Yan?"

The old man nodded slowly, "We met once."

The sound of reading aloud was heard in the house. Grandpa Yan took Shen Zhui and the old man to listen outside the window for a while, and then went to a room next door.

The maid brought the tea and then walked out without looking away.

There was no sound during the whole process; even the teacup made no sound.

Shen Zhui had often come to the Yan family in recent years, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.

But the old man was looking at the teacup in front of him thoughtfully.

The Yan family is really not simple. Even the servants are so well-behaved. It seems that the Yan family has a deep foundation.

What the old man didn't know was that the servants of the Yan family had all undergone special training, and the senior palace maid who had come out of the palace that year had now become the head nanny of the Yan family's inner house.

Having learned the rules in the palace for many years, he naturally knew how to discipline the servants of the Yan family.

After they sat down, Shen Zhui introduced the old man next to him, "This is my teacher, Mr. Wenyuan Ji Hongru."

"The teacher has been traveling around in recent years. Now he happened to come to Qingshui County. I will bring him here to see the Yan family's clan school."

Mr. Yan knew this Mr. Wen Yuan.

Mr. Ji Hongru, also known as Mr. Wenyuan.

In the Daqing Dynasty, Mr. Ji Hongru was regarded as a great scholar of his generation, and his status was lofty and respected.

He was well-read, knowledgeable about both ancient and modern times, and had reached a very high level in the study and interpretation of Confucian classics.

Ji Hongru was famous for his extraordinary intelligence in his early years. With his persistent pursuit of knowledge and unremitting efforts, he read through the classics, history, and understood the essence of Confucian thought.

He taught and had many disciples, and the late emperor was once his student.

He was committed to the cause of education and advocated that everyone, regardless of their status or wealth, could receive education from him.

His teachings were like a beacon guiding the students on their way forward. He cultivated a large number of people with both moral integrity and ability, and provided a steady stream of fresh blood for the development and prosperity of the Daqing Dynasty.
