People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 1096 True Wisdom

And it hasn't stopped for a long time.

Kong Yingda sighed and said: "Actually, the foundation of Confucianism is not so hostile to other theories. After Dong Zhongshu's three questions from heaven and man, there will be no more contending among schools of thought."

Li Shimin said: "It's hard for me to imagine that such a rebellious word would come from your old man's mouth."

In the eyes of many scholars, Dong Zhongshu is a great man of Confucianism.

Kong Yingda dared to comment on Dong Zhongshu like this.

Li Shimin didn't take offense when he said that, he just smiled.

Kong Yingda is also a sensible person.

Dong Zhongshu's ability to ask heaven and man three times is just what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty needed.

This is how Confucianism comes into being.

At that time, the five surnames with Confucianism as the core began to grow.

Li Shimin thought he could not comment on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Also not eligible.

After chatting with Li Shimin about the current situation of Confucianism in the Central Plains, Kong Yingda left the other courtyard.

All the way to the academy in Jingyang.

When they came to the gate of the academy, Kong Yingda saw many students coming in and out.

After strolling around here, Kong Yingda unexpectedly found that the children here are very thirsty for knowledge.

Three or five students were in groups, all discussing and solving problems, and also reading books.

Kong Yingda saw a child who looked 15 years old.

Kong Yingda looked at this child for a long time before he recognized it. Kong Yingda smiled and said: "You are a big cow."

Daniel saluted Kong Yingda and said, "I've seen the old master."

Kong Yingda waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be too polite, this old man also came here to study."

Daniel said to Kong Yingda: "The study in the academy is relatively free, and older children can also choose their favorite subjects."

Kong Yingda said in a low voice: "Actually, I have always had a problem."

Daniel said: "Old Master, please tell me."

Kong Yingda said: "What is Li Zheng building such an academy for?"

Daniel said: "In the beginning, it was just teaching and literacy. At that time, Shangguanyi was doing these things, but children studying in the academy were not just reading books. Confucian books did not have much effect on teachers. Instead, they wanted children We learn skills."

Kong Yingda asked curiously again, "What kind of skill?"

Daniel said: "For example, if children learn from Yan Liben, they can learn the skills of carpentry, and if they learn from Li Chunfeng, they can learn mathematics."

Kong Yingda nodded slightly, "You can learn these things from the outside world."

Daniel said again: "The biggest difference between academies is basic knowledge."

Kong Yingda asked curiously, "What is basic knowledge?"

Daniel said: "If our children want to go to the upper grades, they need to take the exam first. Only when they use math skills, medical skills, and some scientific knowledge as the foundation, they can learn other skills. Children who know math skills will also do it." Geometry problems, then their craftsmanship is not just a carpenter, they can know the width of the river through calculations, set wooden piles, etc. to build strong bridges."

Kong Yingda nodded slightly.

Daniel also said: "For example, in scientific physics, we recently made a plow for plowing by using the principle of leverage. It does not need animals, and people can easily drag it. This is the use of science. Science is seeking knowledge. It is also the study of things to gain knowledge, and the purpose of the teacher's establishment of the research institute is also to hope that our knowledge can take care of people's livelihood."

Kong Yingda said with emotion: "They are all good boys."

Daniu brought Kong Yingda to Zangshu Pavilion and said: "This is the Zangshu Pavilion, old master. Here are all the books that Jingyang students have learned. Old master can read more here."

Kong Yingda patted Daniel on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, kid."

Daniel also smiled, "I still want to take everyone to do experiments, the old master can do it himself."

Kong Yingda walked into the Library Pavilion, where many students were sitting.

Just a glance, very quiet.

Quiet enough to hear your own breathing.

Look at these children who are concentrating on reading.

They are very different from the children of the Imperial College.

Most of the children of Guozijian are also the children of powerful and powerful people.

Those children didn't have much interest in the word learning, and most of them only learned to read and write.

They don't know much about the word wisdom.

Kong Yingda looked at the children in Zangshuge, these children were the ones who wanted knowledge and wisdom the most.

Kong Yingda felt inexplicably sad.

Li Zheng, who was scoffed at by Confucian children, was able to build such an excellent academy.

Those who are close to Zhu are close to those who are black.

Children from ordinary families have the cleanest hearts.

Such children learn knowledge the fastest.

They study not for fame, nor for Jinshi.

But just to learn skills.

This kind of meaning is what Guozijian needs most now.

To build such an academy, to achieve this map, the environment, the crowd, the atmosphere, and the original intention are all indispensable.

And it is precisely a person like Li Zheng who can make it.

Kong Yingda also hopes that Confucianism can also have a place in this academy, but it is almost impossible for Confucian children to spurn Li Zheng.

Confucianism can cultivate the body and mind, and can also teach people to be gentlemen.

But are these really what ordinary people need right now?
All they need is the foundation of survival.

And these Confucians can't give them.

Yan Liben has been very busy these days.

Jingyang recruited nearly a thousand apprentices.

With the scorching sun shining all the time, Yan Liben handed over the list to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng handed Yan Liben a bowl of smoothie and said, "Master Yan, take a bite of this."

Yan Liben took the smoothie and said, "This is..."

Li Zheng said: "I call this smoothie, it's very useful for relieving heat."

Yan Liben picked up a spoon, scooped up a sip of smoothie, and put it in his mouth. It also had a watermelon-flavored smoothie. After swallowing it, he felt that his internal organs were cold.

When the coolness passed, the heat also disappeared a lot.

Seeing Li Zheng looking at the list, Yan Liben explained: "These are 930 people selected, and ten of them were invited by the old man. You can rest assured that these people are carefully selected."

Li Zheng put away the booklet and said, "Master Yan is here."

Yan Liben waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, I heard that Kong Yingda has also come to Jingyang."

Li Zheng also nodded and said, "Should be in the academy now."

Yan Liben said quickly: "I will take my leave first when I go to see Kong Yingda."

Li Zheng nodded while holding the booklet.

The list in the brochure has to be handed over to Li Lizhi, and the salaries of these apprentices have to be paid by Li Lizhi.

When Yan Liben came to the academy, he saw Kong Yingda who had just come out of the Library Pavilion.

Yan Liben said: "Why did the old master come here?"

Kong Yingda said as he walked, "I'm too old to teach."

After walking two steps, Kong Yingda looked at Yan Liben and said, "You have been in Jingyang for a long time, what do you think of Jingyang Academy?"
