Yu Ren smiled bitterly, and saw that Liang Ruji was already showing a little impatient expression, so he hurriedly said, "That's fine. Now I do have something to talk to Mr. Liang, so you can send someone to follow me. When I finish talking to Mr. Liang, I will definitely go to your house for dinner immediately. This is OK!"

Hou Jingru thought for a while. "Okay. Then I'll wait for you." After saying that, Hou Jingru asked one of his subordinates to follow Yu Ren, and be sure to invite his husband home for dinner. After instructing him, Hou Jingru happily went home to prepare.

Yu Ren smiled bitterly at Liang Ruji, "Please, Mr. Liang."

Originally, Yu Ren wanted to invite Liang Ruji to Wang Wenyan's house to discuss, but because of Hou Jingru's interruption on the way, the two of them found a teahouse with a slightly remote location nearby and opened an elegant private room. The two of them started talking in the private room.

Yu Ren had a premonition that his conversation with this person named Liang Ruji will have a significant impact on his future life. His mood at this moment feels like the mood of modern men and women before a night, a little expectant and nervous and exciting.

Zhao Rui also knew that Yu Ren and Liang Ruji must have had some rebellious words. She didn't want others to listen to them, so she would not get into unnecessary trouble, so she stood outside the private room to make the situation for them. The servant sent by Hou Jingru also stood downstairs and waited far away.

"Mr. Liang's words just now made me suddenly enlightened. The current situation in my Ming Dynasty is indeed as Mr. Wang said, not bad. I just don't know what good way to save the world?"

Liang Ruji sat in front of the window and said, "I want to talk about strategies to save the world. From my perspective, the most fundamental thing is to change our current imperial system that has been in operation for nearly two thousand years."

Yu Ren suddenly heard Liang Ruji say something like this, and he was really shocked and sweating. The first thought flashed through his mind was: Could this guy be a time traveler? Otherwise, how could he say this sentence with obvious modern colors?

"I hope to hear the details."

Liang Ruji picked up the tea, took a sip, and then said, "I wonder if Brother Yu has heard that there was a very famous figure in the Ming Dynasty more than 40 years ago."

"Are you talking about Zhang Juzheng?" Although Yu Ren had a bad history in the past, he made a bad help to the history of the Ming Dynasty after coming here. Naturally, he knew that more than 40 years ago was the time when Zhang Juzheng became famous.

Liang Ruji shook his head. "Although Zhang Juzheng is famous, it is because of his actions in the officialdom. The person I am talking about is a civilian with no qualities and no responsibilities. His achievements are not in the officialdom, but in the people."

Yu Ren thought for a long time, but still couldn't answer.

"He Xinyin! Have Brother Yu heard of this name?"

Yu Ren shook his head. He was telling the truth. Although he had read a lot of historical books before the Ming Dynasty, it was the first time he heard of the name He Xinyin.

"This He Xinyin was originally named Liang Ruyuan, and was also from Ji'an, Jiangxi Province. He was a disciple of Wang Xue and belonged to the Taizhou School. He once said that the most meaningful and rebellious thing he had done in his life was Juhetang, which he founded at the age of 30.

Before that, he had just finished first in the provincial examination and was in high school. Just when he was about to go to Beijing for the imperial examination, he accidentally met a strange man, Wang Gen. Mr. Wang Gen was the descendant of Mr. Mingyang and the founder of the Taizhou School. It is said that he was just a stove in a salt field, but later he learned the Tao from Mr. Mingyang and finally got the true teachings.

After He Xinyin met Wang Gen, he listened to his several lectures and was deeply moved by Mr. Wang Gen's idea that "the daily life of the people is Tao". Finally, he decided to give up the imperial examination and returned to his hometown to establish Juhetang, and used practice to confirm and explore the so-called "the daily life of the people is Tao" taught by Mr. Wang Gen.

The Juhe Hall he founded brought hundreds of households in one place to unite and uniformly dispatch and educate them. He set up a special school in Juhe Hall, where all boys over six years old, regardless of their wealth, must go to school.

For these children in schools, they not only have no tuition fees, but also provide free food and accommodation for the children, so that adults don’t have to worry at all.

In addition, he also took out his thousand acres of fertile land and distributed it to everyone, and they would cultivate it themselves. As for the taxes handed over to the court, he also collected and handed over the entire village.

In fact, Juhetang is like a big family, and He Xinyin is like a parent in this big family. In this big family, everything is arranged and handled by He Xinyin. In this big family, there are only men, women, old and young, and division of labor between people, but there is no difference between high and low."

Speaking of this, Liang Ruji showed a longing look.

Yu Ren was even more shocked. He really didn't expect that China had practiced communism more than 400 years ago. In the past, teachers taught us that communism was introduced from Europe to China and was also the first to emerge in Europe? Why did some people in China start to practice this theory when communism was far more than two hundred years earlier than Europe?

Although they have no relationship in terms of name, they have no relationship at all. However, they are so similar in their actual pursuit of goals and operation methods. Is this the Europeans learned communism from us, or do we learn communism from Europeans? Yu Ren was confused.

However, this is no longer the focus of his concern.

"What happened later?" Yu Ren asked. He was really interested in this Juhetang founded by He Xinyin.

"This Juhetang has existed for twelve years. Later, the court wanted to add more imperial wooden silver. Mr. He opposed it and wrote a letter to ridicule the magistrate of Yongfeng at that time. So the magistrate sent someone to arrest Mr. He. At first, they convicted him of hanging. Later, with the strong mediation of Mr. He's friends, the hanging was changed to a remnant punishment and sent Mr. He to Guizhou to be exiled to serve as a military force.

Shortly after Mr. He was sent to Guizhou, he escaped with the help of his friends. From then on, he abandoned his original name: Liang Ruyuan and changed his name to He Xinyin. From then on, he began his days of traveling around the world and teaching the world. Until he was finally arrested by Wang Zhiyuan, the governor of Huguang, in Qimen, and was quickly beaten to death in prison."

Liang Ruji looked gloomy when he said this.

Yu Ren didn't say anything, and he also felt sorry for the ending of He Xinyin. However, he was more concerned about the fate of Juhetang.

"What happened to Juhetang later?"

Liang Ruji sighed, "Of course it scattered. After Mr. He was captured by the government, Juhetang lost his backbone and no one was in charge. How could he continue?"

Yu Ren sighed lightly. Although he had expected this result, when he heard it with his own ears, he couldn't help but sigh.

"To be honest, I am from Liangyuan Village, Yongfeng. My father was the one who experienced that great change personally. When Mr. He founded Juhetang, my father was seven years old. At that time, our family had only one acre of thin fields. Although we rented other families to plant every year, we could only barely survive.

If Mr. He hadn’t founded Juhetang, my father wouldn’t have had the chance to study. At that time, the family would have enough food to eat, and he would not even want to study. When he had a bad year, he would have to rely on Mr. He’s family to help him live.

However, after Mr. He founded Juhetang, our family had ten acres of charity land provided by Mr. He for free, and also allowed my father and several of my uncles to study in the village school for free, and also provided food and accommodation.

My father studied in the school in the hall for eleven years, and Mr. He was arrested in the first year after he came out. At that time, my father and a group of brothers in the hall were running around and finally saved Mr. He's life. Later, Mr. He went and Juhetang separated. Although my father and several classmates tried hard to recover, they finally had no choice but to do anything because of their limited reputation.

In addition to the pressure from the court, Juhetang never got back together. My father was disheartened and took my mother away from Yongfeng.

My father's biggest wish throughout his life was to rebuild Juhetang. Although he left Yongfeng, he had been working hard in this regard. Unfortunately, his wish was not realized throughout his life, and he had sued several times for this. If it weren't for his friend's rescue, he would have died in prison long ago.

Even so, when I was nine years old, my father still couldn't escape that disaster and was finally arrested and was jailed again. This time, he never came out again."

After Liang Ruji said this, his voice began to choke.

"Have you ever thought that He Xinyin's Juhetang is obviously very popular with the people, but why did he fail in the end?"
