Chapter 67: Poems of Pity for the Peasants (Part 2)

Although at this moment, he is not in class.

But the knowledge learned in the classroom, at this moment, realizes the meaning of education.

Raising his head and trying to look Master Wu in the eye, Pei Jian said with red eyes and trembling voice: "At that time, Master asked us: The strategists talked about 'momentum', and in "Guoce", what can be used to describe 'momentum'?"

"None of us could answer this question, but only Xiandi could."

"He said: Confucius said: A gentleman is not an instrument."

"So...so, the real situation lies in the people's support, not just the military!"

Yes!

The real situation lies in the people's support, not just the military strength!

These words were like thunder, shocking the hearts of countless scholars present.

Pei Jian, Zhuang Jin, the students of the Pei clan school, and Wu Qinglan all looked at Cui Xian with excitement and anticipation in their eyes.

Now war is imminent.

The people's hearts have been gathered.

So, what about "momentum"?

The momentum lies in "Song of Pity the Peasants".

Under the gazes of countless people, Cui Xian looked at Zhao Zhi and sneered, "Zhao Zhi, you want evidence, right? Well, just watch and listen! You use your power to bully the people. I can't say anything and I can't refute you."

"But you are wrong, because there are many scholars in this world, some of whom have literary backbones and writing style!"

"This old woman in front of me has suffered terrible torture from you, but she can't ask for justice from you. But I am not like that. I have read books, and I know how to ask for justice."

"She can't speak. I'll teach her to speak to you."

After saying that.

Under Zhao Zhi's disdainful gaze.

Cui Xian grabbed the old woman's hand, lowered his head and whispered something.

When the old woman heard this, her whole body trembled and tears suddenly flowed out of her eyes.

What is poetry?

Poetry is characterized by gorgeous words and magnificent style.

It is understandable to women and children alike, it speaks directly to people’s hearts, and it is also poetry!

The old woman had never been to school, but she understood what Cui Xian asked her to say.

Then, the old woman who had never been enlightened wiped away her tears and looked at Zhao Zhi with a trembling voice: "Zhao Zhi! This child just wrote two poems. Although I can't read the big characters, I understood them."

"So, I want to ask you if you can understand."

"The name of these two poems is "Mercy for the Peasants"."

What?

Wrote a poem?

Write poetry on the spot?

Hearing this, countless people present pricked up their ears.

The old woman had never been to school and had a bad memory, so Cui Xian whispered a sentence and she repeated it.

Then I heard the old woman's voice was shrill, every word was tearful:

"In spring, plant a grain of millet, and in autumn, harvest ten thousand grains."

As soon as the first two sentences came out, the eyes of Ye Huaifeng, Wu Qinglan and others suddenly lit up.

Even some unenlightened people can understand it.

However, the old woman then looked at Zhao Zhi fiercely and asked in tears:

“There is no idle land in the world, yet farmers still starve to death.”

What a great saying: There is no idle land in the world, yet farmers still starve to death!

Why did the farmer especially starve to death?

Isn't it because there are a lot of people like "Zhao Zhi" in this world?

The old woman continued to speak, her eyes fixed on Zhao Zhi, and continued: "There is more, there is more! Listen carefully, you dog official, listen carefully!"

"When I hoe the field at noon, my sweat drips down to the soil."

Just this short sentence makes people see the scene of countless people working hard under the scorching sun, exhausted and tired.

The simpler the famous poems that can be passed down through the ages, the greater their destructive power.

The way of truth is simple!

It has its own momentum!

It is not just a poem, but also the silent cry and roar of countless poor people.

“Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the product of hard work?”

After the old woman finished reading the poem, she burst into tears.

She understood, she understood these two poems!

Scholars such as Wu Qinglan and Ye Huaifeng looked at Cui Xian beside the old woman in shock.

Eight years old, this child is only eight years old!

Once "Two Poems of Pity the Peasants" is published, it will definitely become famous in the poetry world!

And more people around were reciting and repeating these two poems to each other.

After hearing the content of this poem, all the people raised their heads and looked at Zhao Zhi angrily.

Invisibly, the momentum is gathering.

The anger is burning!

Confucius said: A gentleman is not an instrument.

Therefore, the real situation lies in the people's support, not just the military strength!
