Chapter 511 Guidelines for Reforming Education and Values "Mr. Lin, your words have inspired me a lot. Values ​​may seem abstract, but they play a vital role in our lives." "Whether we are an ordinary person or a prince, we all need to stick to our own values ​​and continue to work hard to influence and change society." Zhu Ping said with a firm tone. Lin Che smiled and nodded, encouragingly saying, "I believe you have enough wisdom and courage to stick to your own values ​​and carry forward Binjiang." "No matter what difficulties and adversities we face, as long as we have justice and firm faith, we can overcome all difficulties." Zhu Feng and Zhu Bai looked at each other and smiled, and the Yamen had a deeper understanding of their future. Lin Che's explanation stimulated their thinking and made them understand the importance of adhering to values, while also adding hope for the future. If it's different, how can we change it? Zhu Bai frowned. He didn't understand how to change the entire society. "One word rang out to me, it's called education." “Only by changing people’s ideas and concepts through education and cultivating high-quality talents can we truly change the destiny of Ming Dynasty.”

Lin Che's eyes showed determination. Zhu Xi clapped his hands gently and laughed. "Sir, you are right, education is the fundamental way to change society." "The Confucian education of our Ming Dynasty was distorted by court officials and turned into a tool for people to blindly pursue fame and wealth." "We must revisit the original intention of Confucianism and let people truly understand from their hearts what benevolence, righteousness and morality are." Zhu Ming said excitedly. Zhu Bai also showed an expression of agreement. He agreed with Lin Che's point of view and felt that changing people's minds through education was a good way. "Since you all agree, let me tell you about reforming education." Lin Che put away his excitement, calmed down, and began to explain in detail: "The education of the Ming Dynasty must start with the reform of Confucian classics education." "Confucian classic education was the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, but now it has been tampered with into a stereotype." "We must return education to its original appearance, allowing children to learn benevolence, justice and morality from an early age, cultivate noble character and the ideological awareness to contribute to national events." Lin Che's voice was filled with determination and excitement. The Zhu Fang brothers listened quietly. They were moved by Lin Che's point of view and felt that this was a good way to save the Ming Dynasty. In the following time, Lin Che and brothers Zhu Feng discussed. They not only discussed education reform plans, but also studied how to formulate practical policy measures. In order to gain more knowledge, Zhu Fang and Zhu Bai took the initiative to ask Lin Che to explain in detail. Lin Che tried hard to make these two boys understand that only by truly changing the people's ideas can the Ming Dynasty be fundamentally saved. The Zhu Fang brothers were moved by Lin Che's words. They gradually got rid of their inherent thinking patterns and began to actively think about how to implement the reform measures proposed by Lin Che. Seeing the two of them thinking further and further, Lin Che coughed and pulled them back: "We're not talking about education reform, why are we talking about corruption again? Then I'll talk to you about corruption." He told the two brothers that corruption in the court could not be ignored and must be actively addressed.

Then he explained to the two brothers how to solve the problem of political corruption. Lin Che pointed out: "First of all, corrupt officials must be severely punished." "The Ming Dynasty must establish an independent and impartial supervisory agency to seriously investigate and severely punish corrupt officials." "At the same time, we will strengthen supervision of local officials to prevent corruption from spreading in the court and local areas." Zhu Ping and Zhu Bai both listened carefully. Zhu Ping said: "It is better to show foresight and ask my father to set up a special supervisory agency to combat corruption and strengthen supervision of local officials." Lin Che was relieved when she heard Zhu Xi's response. He knew that this was the result of his efforts in the Ming Dynasty. Next, Lin Che gave a demonstration with a case, explaining to the two how to cultivate more responsible and upright officials through strengthening education. He pointed out that corruption can only be eradicated by improving the moral character and governance capabilities of officials. Zhu Fang thought for a while and then said: "Sir, your views are very inspiring. We must strengthen the education and training of officials, especially focusing on cultivating their moral character and awareness of serving the people." When Lin Che heard these words, he continued to explain in simple terms, discussing how to establish an effective supervision mechanism, how to strengthen judicial independence, and how to intensify the crackdown on corrupt officials. Zhu Ming and Zhu Bai listened intently. They were thinking and taking notes. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting next door, quietly pricked up his ears and listened with concentration. Zhu Yuanzhang was in charge of the fate of the entire Ming Empire, but he was extremely confused about how to govern the country. When he heard Lin Che's explanation this time, he suddenly felt that his thinking was broadened and inspired. When Lin Che said that a person's values ​​​​are based on his beliefs, moral standards and pursuit of goals, only by clarifying his own values ​​​​can he move forward firmly on the road of life without losing his way. It can be said that values ​​are the compass of life and the pillar of the soul. Zhu Yuanzhang was refreshed and fell into deep thought. Lin Che's explanation made him realize that only by establishing correct values ​​can they truly be guided to achieve their great goals. "Boss, what elements did Mr. Lin talk about establishing correct values ​​today?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked. Zhu Biao smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his tone: "To establish correct values, we must first have firm beliefs and moral standards." "Faith can give a person something to rely on and something to pursue." "At the same time, moral principles can constrain a person's behavior and ensure that he acts with justice and conscience." Zhu Biao continued: “Secondly, establishing correct values ​​also requires clear goals and pursuits.” "Rulers should take the interests of the country and the people as their own responsibility and work hard for them." “Only by using this as a criterion can the ruler’s governance become a respected authority.” Zhu Biao stood up with a confident smile on his face: "As Mr. Lin said, only when correct values ​​are established." "We can truly guide others, influence others, and achieve the goals we pursue." "Through Mr. Lin's generals, we understand that what is needed to govern a country is not just power and wealth, but more importantly, correct values." "Only with true values ​​can one become a great monarch and lead the Ming Dynasty to prosperity."
