If these students were any less well-behaved, they would probably throw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.
Nanzhi was incredibly grateful that they still had some conscience.
Nan Zhisheng waited for these people to finish arguing.
Only then did he speak, "Are you done arguing? If not, shall I have some food first?"
These students, who eat breakfast too early, may seem quiet, but they are actually quite talkative.
They talked for a full hour.
No one spoke.
Nanzhi slowly walked forward and stood on the highest platform.
"These are the students of Nanshan College? Nothing special!"
The students glared at her angrily. What right did a mere agricultural official who only knew how to farm have to mock them?
It looked like they were about to start talking again.
Nan Zhi immediately retorted, "You just think that as an agricultural official, I have no right to point fingers at the students of the world, and that I am unworthy!"
"But I must say, today I am not only presiding over the scientific expedition, but I am also standing before you!"
Nan Zhi was very imposing, and no matter how dissatisfied the people below were, they could only glare at her at this moment.
"You think too highly of yourselves, willing to associate with people like me. But do you really think you can feed everyone in the world, enable them to live in peace and prosperity, or protect your homes and country?"
The students fell silent.
"Perhaps most of you will stand in the imperial court in the future, but do you understand why you become officials?"
The students below, "naturally, are doing this for the sake of the people."
Nan Zhi scoffed.
"There are so many people in the world. How can we know their needs if we don't get in touch with them?"
this......
Many people began to whisper among themselves.
"Officials should speak up for the people and be loyal to the country. Do you think you can do that? You think too highly of yourselves just because you've studied a little more than others. I am ashamed of you!"
Nanzhi mercilessly attacked their self-esteem.
These students are in dire need of education.
"Agriculture is the foundation of the nation. When you stand in the halls of power and mock the farmers, you have already lost... When the people are at peace, the nation is at peace; when the nation is at peace, the nation is strong."
"As scholars, we should establish a moral compass for the world, secure a livelihood for the people, continue the lost learning of the sages, and usher in an era of peace for all generations!"
Nan Zhi slowly walked off the stage, ignoring everyone's silence.
As they walked down from the stage, Tu Shan suddenly approached Nan Zhi and bowed to her.
Nan Zhi ignored him completely and strode out, her posture suggesting she was fleeing in disarray.
After leaving the academy, they went straight into the carriage.
He collapsed on the carriage.
Xiao Tao recovered from her shock. "Miss, you really stunned them just now."
Not only the students, but even she was shocked by the young lady.
"Water!" After saying so much, Nanzhi's throat was burning.
"Quick, let's go home!" Nan Zhi finally witnessed the power of scholars today.
They never repeat the same insults twice.
She had just finished scolding these people; if she got caught, that would be terrible.
Meanwhile, inside the palace.
Nanzhi’s words were relayed to the emperor word for word.
"Beautiful!" The emperor was deeply dissatisfied after hearing this.
Very few people can say such things anymore.
After many years of establishing the Great Central Kingdom, it needs a way to awaken the scholars of the world.
The emperor stared at the last sentence, unwilling to put it down for a long time.
"To establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth, to secure a destiny for the people, to continue the lost learning of the sages, and to usher in an era of peace for all generations!"
What a fine student from Nanjing University!
The Emperor said, "Go and have these words engraved on the wall of Nanshan Academy."
Let the world see what a true scholar is!
The events at Nanshan Academy were quickly relayed to various parts of the Central Plains.
Students across the country were greatly shocked.
Arrogance and conceit are common flaws among scholars.
Today, Namgyal criticized it mercilessly.
But I felt no anger, only shame.
Scholars all reflect on themselves, and some even regard that quatrain as a golden rule.
Nanzhi waited in the mansion for a long time and then sent Weiguo and Weimin to inquire.
I haven't heard any bad news about her.
Nan Zhi couldn't help but wonder, have scholars changed?
The next day, Nam Gyi went to her office.
Every person who passed by bowed to her.
Those people used to be so arrogant, what happened to them today?
Perhaps she hasn't woken up yet.
"Lord Nan, stay!"
Nanzhi turned around and saw Wu Wenyuan, the Minister of Personnel, running over.
He bowed to her again.
Nanzhi asked curiously, "Sir, what are they doing here?"
Wu Wenyuan smiled and said, "Your words yesterday have awakened the people of the world. Every scholar in our dynasty respects you."
Nan Zhi was unaware that some people had even copied down her words and made them available for students all over the world to read.
Nanzhi silently apologized in her heart; those words were those of Zhang Zai from the Northern Song Dynasty.
She just wanted to borrow it for a bit, but she didn't expect it to cause such a big reaction.
Wu Wenyuan: "We were wrong to judge you with our petty minds and treated you with disrespect. We hope you will forgive us."
Nanzhi quickly cupped her hands and said, "Not at all, Your Excellency's character is so noble that Nanzhi cannot compare."
Upon learning the truth, Nanzhi was no longer afraid.
While we shouldn't pay attention to rumors and gossip, people do have thoughts.
Always care about what others say.
At the same time, the number one building under heaven.
Little Li San'er directed his servants to hang the huge plaque in the center.
The inscription on the plaque is the quatrain that Nam Gyi recited that day.
Scientific expeditions are a major test held annually.
In addition to formulating rules and regulations, we also need to prepare the venue for the exams.
In other words, it was cleaning the examination hall. Fortunately, these tasks were handled by the staff, so Namzhi didn't need to worry.
The officials in the Ministry of Personnel were frantically copying down the exam questions.
