Chapter 674 Values ​​and Education He believed that only by changing these current situations could the Ming Dynasty continue to prosper. Zhu Chong and Zhu Di listened silently, their eyes revealing their admiration for Lin Che. From today's situation, Lin Che knew at a glance that these two guys were too absorbed in the lecture. Lin Che disliked the scenes in the late Ming Dynasty, and he was ready to gradually eliminate the corruption of the Ming Dynasty. Lin Che was sitting in a small room in the imperial prison. In front of him were Zhu Di and Zhu Chong. They hid their identities and only frequently appeared by their names. Lin Che took a deep breath, his heart filled with worry and determination for this era. I came to this era and witnessed the degree of corruption among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, which really made me worried. Lin Che's tone was full of grief and indignation. Mr. Lin, you can see so much, which shows that you have a heart to revitalize the Ming Dynasty. Please continue. Zhu Di nodded slightly, looking forward to Lin Che's continuation. Lin Che nodded and continued to explain the corruption of court officials in a simple and easy-to-understand way. He described in detail how court officials used fictitious facts to get high salaries, and how this phenomenon brought a crisis to the Ming Dynasty. We must understand that for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, we must thoroughly understand the corruption of officials. Zhu Chong nodded silently with a solemn expression. In the past few years, he has been thinking about how to save the Ming Dynasty, but he has never found a suitable method. Now, Lin Che's words gave him new ideas and made him see hope. Mr. Lin, what is your idea? Zhu Di looked at Lin Che curiously. In fact, the root of corruption lies in the court officials, and more importantly, the values ​​of the whole society. If we want to change this phenomenon, we must fundamentally change the ideology of appointment. Lin Che said in a gentle and direct tone, "values?" What does this mean? This is the first time I heard this word. Zhu Di looked puzzled. In the classroom, Lin Che faced Zhu Di and Zhu Chong in the imperial prison and began his explanation of values. Values ​​represent people's recognition and evaluation of values ​​and morals. Simply put, it is the judgment standard of what is good and what is bad. Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and motioned Lin Che to continue. Lin Che smiled and explained to Zhu Chong. Let me give you an example. Respecting others is a universally recognized value. People generally believe that respecting others is a kind quality, while disrespecting others is considered bad behavior. Zhu Chongzhou had never come across similar concepts before and was curious about this new word. Zhu Di sat quietly aside, listening to Lin Che's explanation. He was curious about this new word and hoped to have a deeper understanding of this concept. Lin Che noticed their different reactions, smiled slightly, and then said that everyone's values ​​may be different, because the environment and experiences we live in are different, which will affect our perception of value. However, a society's values ​​and an individual's values ​​are the beliefs and principles they uphold. They can guide our behavior and help us make the right choices. Zhu Di listened attentively. After thinking for a moment, he asked, Mr. Lin, if the values ​​we uphold are different from others, how should we deal with it? Lin Che replied with a smile, if we encounter a situation where the values ​​we uphold are inconsistent with ours, we can try to understand and accept the other party's different views. After all, everyone has his or her own thinking and lifestyle. We don't have to force others to accept our values. On the contrary, we should keep an open mind, communicate and dialogue with others, and respect the existence and rights of others. Zhu Di nodded, as if he understood Lin Che's explanation. The era they lived in was the Ming Dynasty full of power struggles and fighting. People's struggles and conflicts of interest were everywhere. Now, Lin Che brought them a new way of thinking, which made them full of curiosity. Zhu Chong was also satisfied with Lin Che's explanation. He also asked Lin Che, Mr. Lin Che, you said that everyone's values ​​may be different, so where do they come from? Lin Che smiled and said, "Everyone's values ​​can come from their own education and family background, or from cultural traditions and social environment. For example, I come from a family with Chairman Zhong's family traditions and interests, and these values ​​have always been with me as I grew up. And the current Majesty and His Highness, as royal aristocrats, their values ​​are influenced by the royal education and traditions." Zhu Di nodded, and he continued to ask, if someone's values ​​are contrary to the mainstream values ​​of society, how will they be treated? Lin Che shook his head. If a person sticks to his own values, he may encounter many difficulties and obstacles. The mainstream values ​​of the event are usually recognized and supported by most people. If someone deviates from the mainstream values, he may be rejected and criticized. However, there are also some people who stick to their own values ​​and do not compromise easily. They will eventually change or even influence the mainstream values ​​of society through unremitting efforts and perseverance. Zhu Di was silent for a while after hearing this, thinking about Lin Che's words. He was an idealist who hoped to change and lead the Ming Dynasty onto the right path, but he also understood that it was not easy to achieve this goal. Mr. Lin, your words brought me a lot of inspiration. Values ​​may seem abstract, but they play a vital role in our lives. Whether as a person or as an emperor, we need to stick to our own values ​​and not be short of slaves to influence and change society, Zhu Di said with a firm tone.

Lin Che smiled and nodded, encouragingly saying, "I believe you have enough wisdom and courage to stick to your values ​​and put them into words. No matter what difficulties and adversities we face, as long as we are determined and have firm beliefs, we can overcome all difficulties." Zhu Di and Zhu Chong smiled at each other. They had a deeper understanding of their future. Lin Che's explanation inspired their thinking, made them understand the importance of sticking to their values, and also added hope for the future. If it is different, how to change it? Zhu Chong frowned. He didn't understand how to change the whole society. A word came to my mind, called education. Only by changing people's perspectives through education and cultivating talents with noble qualities can we truly change the fate of the Ming Dynasty. Lin Che's eyes revealed a firm belief. Zhu Di clapped his hands lightly and then started laughing. (End of this chapter)
