    Wang Shouren smiled.

    He glanced at Mr. Wu.

    This question is obviously very important.

    When you come to Jiaozhi, if you can't even answer this question, the so-called preaching will obviously become a joke.

    All the disciples looked at Wang Shouren intently.

    Wang Shouren smiled: "When the Annan Kingdom was here, how much taxes did the officials collect from you?"

    Wu Changchang thought for a while: "Three to four out of ten."

    Wang Shouren nodded: "What about Annan after Jiaozhi?"

    Wu Chang grew up and thought for a moment: "Slightly less."

    It is the national policy of the imperial court to add fewer new lands.

    Wang Shouren said: "In the Annan Kingdom, officials could be greedy and harmful to the people."

    Wu Changda hesitated for a moment and exchanged glances with several other Champa people: "It's always happened."

    "Are today's officials still corrupt and harmful to the people?"

    Wu Changchang said very matter-of-factly: "I've heard a lot about it."

    Wang Shouren sighed: "When the Annan Kingdom was there, it was almost the same as when Jiaozhi was restored to its hometown. Foolish people divide people into the same clan and clan, but they don't know that those who harm themselves are also the countryside, destroying the countryside and seizing the land.  However, nine out of ten, they are of the same clan and clan. When a man is alive, how can he distinguish people by their kinship?"

    "I ask you again, what is the difference between the people of Jiaozhi, the people of Guizhou, and the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the Ming Dynasty?"

    Wu grew up silent: "I"

    "There will be no difference. You want to eat, drink, and wear clothes, and so do they. You hate corrupt officials, and so do they. You have desires in your heart, and they also have desires. You are brothers. If you only see in your eyes,  When it comes to the so-called blood relationship, this inevitably becomes shallow. A gentleman takes it as his duty to help the world. He loves the people and governs benevolently, and knows the sufferings of the people. To me, what is the difference between the suffering of the people in Jiaozhi and the suffering of the people in Guizhou?  ? Therefore, when I teach people to read, I first teach them empathy. This is my original intention."

    "I hope to pass on my knowledge to you, hoping that you can understand the sufferings of the common people, rather than dividing people by clan and generals. Saving the people of Jiaozhi is to love the people, and the same is true for saving the people of Guizhou."

    Wu Chang's eyes lit up: "This means that the real enemy lies in the bad government that is unfavorable to the people, not the people of Guizhou, who regard Jiaozhi as their enemies, and the people of Jiaozhi regard the Han people as their mortal enemies. But how?  What about changing bad governance?¡±

    Wang Shouren smiled slightly and said: "No one can be prime minister or have a high position. Everyone has their own talents, even if they only play a small role, that's enough."

    Wu Changchang and others frowned, feeling ashamed and said: "We are not sir. Sir is a man of great ability, but we are just country folk. Even if we understand this truth, we may not have the talent to help."

    "What is talent?" Wang Shouren looked at him kindly.

    Wu grew up silent for a long time.

    Wang Shouren smiled: "Everyone has his or her own talents and expertise. All things are born with their own functions. But in the Ming Dynasty, people believed that only those who studied and did eight essays and could be an official could be talented. But I don't think so.  Look, a wise person will never regard only writing eight parts as a talent, Zhuge Kongming, have you heard this?"

    Mr. Wu nodded his head. The Three Kingdoms, whether in Japan, Korea or Annan, are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.  Its status in Jiaozhi is no less than that of "Huanzhugege" in Annan in later generations.

    Wang Shouren said: "If Zhuge Kongming goes fishing, can he use his talents to do better than the fishermen?"

    Wu Chang was stunned: "Is fishing also a talent?"

    "Yes." Wang Shouren said: "Just like plowing the land, now in the Ming Dynasty, there is a person who is granted the title of marquis because of farming. If the cultivator who is granted the title of marquis can go to lead the army, then he can give full play to his abilities.  Talent?"

    Wu grew up and stayed for a while.

    Wang Shouren smiled and said: "A gentleman should learn to appoint the right people to the right positions and give full play to their strengths. A gentleman should also be good at exploring his own talents and do what he is good at. Do what you are good at and do it well.  To the point of being unique, wouldn¡¯t that be beneficial to the people around you?¡±

    Wu Changchang and others nodded like chickens pecking at rice: "But we still haven't found what we are good at."

    "There's no rush. It's okay to be a late bloomer." Wang Shouren said, "You should study more, but you can also learn more about riding and shooting with your senior brothers, and you can have the great truth in your heart."

    "There is so much knowledge in the world. We have searched high and low, but we still can't figure it out."

    Wu Changchang felt relieved, he feltThey are the ones who do the most harm. They study the Four Books and Five Classics, study Confucius and Mencius, and know Chinese and use Chinese. But with just that, can they be convinced?  Mr. Chen's approach is to fish out of opportunities. Just wait and see. Sooner or later there will be trouble.  "

    "Then, here in Champa, don't you abide by the academic order to teach?"

    Wang Shouren was silent for a moment: "My mentor ordered me to come here to educate the people of Jiaozhi. He specifically ordered me to stay in Champa and stay away from Shenglong. Isn't his intention clear enough? He wants me to do different things. My mentor is a great sage.  , it¡¯s unfathomable, I just have to do it according to the master¡¯s orders.¡±

    ¡°As he said this, Wang Shouren thought of his mentor.

    In fact people like him who love thinking tend to ignore emotions. When they left Beijing, they didn't feel anything. Now, thousands of miles away, they suddenly thought of their mentor and suddenly had mixed feelings.
