Zhang Feng said after pondering for a while.
"Mr. Bo Shi, may I ask how many literati there are in this world?"
"Less than one level!"
Zhang Feng asked.
"Then may I ask if these people can pick up their swords and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy when the country is in danger?"
Yu Shinan thought for a while, and his face became serious.
"No!"
"Well, may I ask Mr. Bo Shi, why should the literati be one level higher than the common people? Why is that? In this time of famine, it is the literati who suffer. Can what we learn from books help the world? When the country is in danger, can these literati protect the country? "
Yu Shinan's face changed.
He sighed and said, "No!"
Zhang Feng also sighed.
He pointed out the window and said, "The literati of the Tang Dynasty occupy one level, but they have a salary every day. The poor people can only face the yellow soil. They are like peonies surrounded by the common people. Think about it, if a garden is full of weeds and yellow soil, won't it be beautiful?"
"If there are not only peonies in this garden, but also other flowers and plants to serve as a foil, then what would it be?"
"This is a garden of flowers!"
"The former is like the current situation of the Tang Dynasty. I am not talented, but I can't bear to see that there is only one peony left in this beautiful picture of mountains and rivers. Therefore, I use my own strength in this way to add a little green to this garden."
Yu Shinan's entire body turned solemn.
And so did Fang Xuanling.
In fact, he came to Zhang Feng's place today because he was pestered by Yu Shinan.
In Li Shimin's study, Yu Shinan accidentally learned about Zhang Feng's calligraphy and found a poem that didn't belong to the collection in Fang Xuanling's study. He couldn't help but be interested.
But he didn't know.
The poetry collection that Li Shimin had shown him was only half of it. To be precise, it was not even half of it.
It was just that Li Shimin picked out a few poems and didn't let him finish reading them.
However, all of this had shocked Yu Shinan, which was why he had strongly recommended Zhang Feng. But now, Yu Shinan had a deeper understanding of Zhang Feng.
This guy looked a little rash, but when he said that, Yu Shinan really saw a different side of him, especially Zhang Feng's view of the current Tang Dynasty. It was not something that a person of his age could understand.
"Little friend Zhang Feng, you're right, but people are divided into different grades and ranks. This is something that has existed since ancient times. Don't tell me that you think this is wrong?"
"When people are just born, there is not much difference. As long as they have enough to eat and wear, it is enough. The difference is what happens after they have spiritual wisdom."
"At this time, the differences between people will be revealed one by one. Some people, with a teacher taking the lead, are like an old cow teaching a calf to plow the field and pull a cart. With some teaching, they will make faster progress. Without teaching, they will naturally make slower progress, and even live in ignorance for the rest of their lives."
Without considering a monster like you, the difference between those who have read books and those who have not can be reflected.
Thus, the division of the upper and lower, the division of the three grades and nine ranks, and the division of the social class, came out.
In ancient times, people practiced slash-and-burn cultivation, and it was difficult for them to survive. That was why there were groups of people for warmth and ethnic groups. After living in groups, they got more food, and there was trade between ethnic groups.
And this led to a few things.
Some people got more, and some people got less. Therefore, there was selfishness …
That was why there was everything after that.
At birth, people are good by nature. Their natures are similar, but their habits are different.
Yu Shinan said this very slowly.
And the essence in his eyes made Zhang Feng a little shocked.
But this was a matter of philosophy.
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "I know what Mr. Bo Shi means, but just now you said that people are good by nature. Their natures are similar, but their habits are different. That is to say, everyone should be equal …"
"Wrong!"
Yu Shinan waved his hand.
He sighed and said, "If that is the case, it is really beautiful, but do you think it is possible?" "Yes."
"The reason why there is a division of the upper and lower, and the division of the social class, is to better survive. If there is no one who centralizes power and controls power, then who in the world will have a good life?"
"Take the Three Kingdoms as an example. How do you think the people lived in troubled times?"
Zhang Feng also fell silent.
Yu Shinan said, "Boy, I know what you are thinking. You just want to create more useful people for the Tang Dynasty. This is a good idea, and I support your approach. But you have to remember one thing, and that is nature. Don't forget nature, otherwise …"
Zhang Feng's face was solemn.
How could he not know what Yu Shinan meant at this time?
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and bow.
"This student has learned something!"
"Hahaha, you are worth teaching!"
"Brother Fang, you've won!"
Yu Shinan laughed heartily.
Then, he waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Feng to get the wine.
Zhang Feng fetched a jar of wine and personally poured it for Yu Shinan.
However, at this time, Zhang Feng suddenly thought of something.
