Think about how old Luo Zhi is, he is already thirty-six years old, how old is Luo Xincai? Only twelve years old.

Although Luo Heng still had expectations for Luo Zhi in his heart, expecting Luo Zhi to be able to pass the examination, but at this time, he had already placed Luo Xin at the same height as Luo Zhi.

In fact, not only Luo Heng, but also the three talents of Shanglin Village, Zhang Shu, Lin Chang and Luo Zhi, all put Luo Xin in the same position as them. Although the three of them, one is Luo Xin's father-in-law, one is Luo Xin's enlightenment teacher, and the other is Luo Xin's uncle, they are all Luo Xin's elders, but the things in the literati's bones make them think that even if the younger generation has reached the same level as them in learning, then at least they are people of the same class in learning.

Therefore, all the villagers in Shanglin Village realized that from now on, there was another person in Shanglin Village who they looked up to, and Luo Xin already had the same prestige as Zhang Shu, Lin Chang, and Luo Zhi.

Luo Zhi's mood was very complicated, he was happy in his heart, happy for his nephew, and he no longer had the contempt for Luo Xin before. At the same time, I also felt a huge pressure in my heart, and my nephew could basically confirm that he would be selected for the examination, so he would participate in the township examination with him. If he didn't pass the exam, but his nephew did, he didn't know where to put his face at home in the future?

You must know that he has always been the pride of the Luo family before, and the Luo family is the only one who reads, and he is also a showman. The status in the family actually surpasses the eldest brother who is the eldest son, let alone the second brother Luo Ping. But when I thought about it, if I didn't pass the exam and my nephew did......

He didn't dare to think about it!

He is different from Zhang Shu and Lin Chang, both of them are already old, and they have both given up scientific research. So there is nothing unnatural in the face of Luo Xin. He's going to go down the exam room with his nephew!

Under the tremendous pressure, his out-of-the-box personality changed. It was very rare that he did not see a guest in Luoxin the next day, and when he wanted to devote himself to studying to meet the Taoist exam, he also went into retreat to study.

Luo Xin's closed-door greeting guests is naturally not for the sake of studying to cope with the Taoist exam, he is no longer able to improve his knowledge by studying behind closed doors. He needed to travel and broaden his horizons.

His sole purpose in closing the door was to put together something and write a book or a basic academic specialty, an idea that came to him on his way back to Shanglin Village. And once the thought comes to mind, it's as deeply ingrained as it is rooted.

The reason why Luo Xin has this idea is that on the one hand, he needs a reputation in the real Shilin circle to escort his future career, and on the other hand, he has this ability. Because he is not writing these books alone, but standing on the shoulders of giants.

After Jiajing, although there were no patriarchs like Zhu Xi and Wang Mingyang, there were also many great Confucians. For example, Liu Zongzhou in the late Ming Dynasty and Huang Zongxi in the early Qing Dynasty. There are also many people in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even Confucianism in the late Republic of China.

Not to mention......

In the era of information explosion in later generations, there were many novel views and in-depth research on the study of Confucianism, which means that Luo Xin had a huge database, and all he needed was to sort out these materials and then form a system. It's a lot easier.

Therefore, as soon as Luo Xin returned to Shanglin Village, he started with great interest.

However, he thought simply. When he actually started to do it, he found that it was not as simple as he imagined.

First of all, the data is huge, not to mention the novel views and in-depth research of later generations, just sorting out the materials before the Jiajing period to the Republic of China took Luo Xin's great energy. This is still in the case of Luo Xin's large box with already transcribed information. The ideological system of these sources is not uniform. In general, there are two aspects of the system, one is Cheng Zhu's science system, and the other is Wang Mingyang's mind system.

In addition, in the era of the information explosion in later generations, there were also many materials that could be integrated into the era of the Ming Dynasty. But these materials are too fragmentary, and for the sake of everyone, they want to integrate these fragmented materials into a system. It's definitely a difficult process.

Luo Xin didn't do anything for the first three days, and all he thought about was that the book he wrote tended to be the ideological system, whether it was Cheng Zhu Lixue or Xinxue.

There is no doubt that the science of science is in line with the idea of the emperor ruling the world, which is also an important reason why the science of mind was suppressed during the Jiajing period. However, Luo Xin's heart is more inclined to the mind of the unity of knowledge and action.

For example, Liu Zongzhou was a supporter of science when he was young, but later he became a believer who spared no effort to preach the study of mind. Because the idea of knowing what is difficult and easy to do in science makes the reader indulge in exaggeration all day long, without actual action, such as the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty, which has forgotten the fundamentals of Confucianism.

Luo Xin pondered for three days, and he set a goal for himself very boldly, that is, to excavate the root of Confucianism on the basis of science and mind, remove the exaggeration in science, and also remove the emptiness in mind, and write the purest Confucianism at its root.

In this way, the difficulty has increased again, but fortunately he has a huge database, and the big box contains all the materials he has transcribed. And they are all classic materials, classic articles written by the great Confucian in history, and the first thing he has to do now is to screen, and it is a rough screening.

Then he began to re-read the roughly selected book, taking a quill pen and enclosing the places in the book that he thought were pompous and nihilistic, which was the careful selection, and when he read, if he had new ideas, he wrote them on the paper.

So the dozen or so on the table were not the books that Luo Xin wanted to write at all, but just some of the feelings in his heart. So far, the work of careful selection has not ended. At this time, Luo Xin's heart had calmed down, and he had realized that this was a long-term work.

In the past month, Luo Xin has not finished reading the books in the box, let alone carefully selected. Moreover, Luo Xin read very slowly, and he found that when he used these classic articles of later generations as a database to sift through them, he felt completely different from reading books in ordinary times. This is a process of decomposing and retaining essence, and it is also a process of forming one's own ideological system, so he thinks more and gets more, so that his knowledge that has not been improved for a long time has been improved, and this promotion is the improvement of the ideological system and the improvement of the realm.

After discovering this situation, Luo Xin read more slowly, and the time to think was longer, often reading two pages had to think for a long time, so that his process was even slower, but Luo Xin was completely intoxicated.
