Chapter 1062 The Unity of Knowledge and Action
Qin Mi followed Yin Mo out of the county school, came to the opposite restaurant, and went straight to the second floor.

There was a lot of people on the second floor, many people had already arrived, and they were gathering together in small groups, talking loudly, feeling uncomfortable.

Qin Mi saw Wang Can at a glance.

Wang Can was sitting in the chair, talking with several scholars of similar age, dancing and dancing with high spirits.Seeing Qin Mi, Wang Can immediately stopped, clapped his hands, and said loudly, "Masters, please stop, let me introduce a talented person from Yizhou to you."

Yin Mo leaned close to Qin Mi's ear, and said with a low laugh, "After Wang Zhongxuan became an official, his eloquence has become better and his vision has become higher. It's rare that he is willing to make a name for you. You should show off your talents today. Don't I've lost my momentum in Yizhou." As he spoke, he gently pushed Qin Mi forward, and he disappeared into the crowd.

Wang Can came to Qin Mi, put his arms around Qin Mi's shoulders, and was very affectionate.

"You guys have just returned to the city, so you may not know about Brother Qin's visit. I am lucky to live with Qin Mi, so I know a thing or two. Let me explain to you guys."

Qin Mi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she didn't know what Wang Can meant.

He didn't think it was something to be proud of to be right with the emperor when he met the driver, but he felt a little ashamed.

There were quite a few people holding similar views. Before Wang Can finished speaking, some people in the crowd laughed softly.

Wang Can turned his head to look, his eyebrows raised slightly. "Gongsi, do you find it ridiculous?"

A young scholar stood out from the crowd and bowed his hands in salute. "Brother Zhongxuan is serious. I don't mean to make fun of it. I just didn't expect the emperor to be so sharp and direct in his speech, and his eloquence is very good."

Wang Can shook his head. "The son of heaven's eloquence is indeed excellent, but if you only see eloquence, you will feel like buying a box for a pearl."

The young man bowed his hand again. "I also ask Zhongxuan to correct me."

Wang Can looked around. "Although the Son of Heaven is talented in eloquence, he is not good at eloquence, let alone arguing with his subordinates for a while, unless necessary." He stopped, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. "As far as I know, there are only two of them. Besides Qin Jun in front of you, they are Situ's son, Hanyang prefect Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu."

When everyone heard this, the smiles on their faces froze immediately.

Most of them knew who Yang Xiu was.Not only was he born noble, but he was also the youngest prefect right now.When he became the prefect of Hanyang, he was not yet twenty years old, but he managed Hanyang in an orderly manner, which was almost the benchmark for the Han Dynasty with more than one hundred counties.

Wang Can put Qin Mi and Yang Xiu side by side, what is so special about Qin Mi?
"It is said that the emperor asked Yang Dezu a question: After the collapse of Qin Dynasty, the children of the six countries rose together. Why did the emperor Gao not the children of the six countries win the world? If you understand this truth, you will know which direction the big man should go Go. If you are interested, you might as well think about this question and see if there is a better answer."

Wang Can turned to look at Qin Mi. "As for the question and answer between the Son of Heaven and Lord Qin, the subtlety lies not in his speech or eloquence, but in the Son of Heaven's expectation of Lord Qin. Those are four words..."

He raised his hand and raised a finger every time he said a word. "The unity of knowledge and action."

"The unity of knowledge and action?" The young scholar facing Wang Can and Qin Mi showed doubts.

"Of course, the unity of knowledge and action is exactly what you want now." Wang Can laughed and pulled Qin Mi to his seat. "The Son of Heaven doesn't like to sit down and discuss the Tao, he only admires to prove the Tao by himself. Although Zhang Zibu is pedantic, he is willing to prove the Tao, so the emperor regards him as the prefect of Bohai and orders him to prove himself. It is a pity that two years have passed, and Bohai's achievements are not as good as expected. willing."

He suddenly raised his voice. "Chen Changwen, do you have anything to say?"

Everyone looked into the corner one after another.

Chen Qun, who was sitting in the corner and chatting with others, suddenly heard his name, and was taken aback for a moment. When he looked up, he saw everyone staring at him again, while Wang Can had a playful face, and couldn't help but feel unhappy.

"I'm just a person who treats crimes, so I have nothing to say." He flicked his sleeves and turned back to continue his topic.

Wang Can touched a soft nail, feeling a little bored, touched his nose, and smiled. "Gongsi, let me start, let me see how you have gained in the past few months, and let Brother Qin know the gist of our gathering today."

The young man nodded with a smile. "Then I'll throw a brick to attract jade."

Everyone took their seats and listened attentively.

The young man's surname is Liu Mingxuan, and his style name is Gongsi. He belongs to the people of Nanyang An. He studied in the county with his elder brother Liu Wangzhi and studied under Song Zhong.The Son of Heaven patrolled Nanyang to promote education. The students who had only studied knowledge in the county school also went out of the lecture hall and went deep into the township pavilions to investigate the school situation of the township pavilions in each county, and counted the children who should be enrolled in order to prepare for the construction of the school in the coming year.

Brother Liu Zhen went to Anzhong in this county.

Nanyang is rich and prosperous, and Anzhong's conditions are also at the forefront in Nanyang. Liu Zhen has always felt that there are many schools in Anzhong, and there are only a few schools that need to be replenished. This is an easy job.

But when they went deep into the village, they realized that Anzhong's education was not as good as they imagined, and there were many people who wanted to study but couldn't.To satisfy everyone's requirements, at least ten new schools need to be built.

"We made preliminary statistics, and there are more than [-] households in Anzhong, with a population of nearly [-]. Among them, there are more than [-] people over the age of ten and under the age of [-]. According to a school of [-] students, Twelve schools are also needed. One school with [-] students is nearly twenty schools. But there is only one county school and two private schools in the whole of Anzhong, which is far from meeting the requirements.”

Liu Zhen explained what he had learned.

Even though a few days had passed, he was still brooding about the lack of education in this county, feeling very shocked, and even more ashamed that he had turned a blind eye to it before.

Qin Mi listened quietly, and couldn't help thinking of the experience of meeting the emperor.

The emperor once asked him, how many people have you taught to read?
At that time, he replied that he was lazy by nature and had never taught, which made the emperor very unhappy.At that time, he still felt that the Son of Heaven was trying to make things difficult for others, but now seeing Liu Zhen's self-blame, he suddenly felt uneasy.

The four words of natural laziness are indeed not enough to explain his inaction.

Since he regards himself as a scholar and requires the emperor to be Yao and Shun, how can he be satisfied with sitting down and talking about Taoism?
Asking others to do what you can't do yourself is difficult for others.

So what is it if you don't do what you can clearly do, but point fingers at others?
If I were the Son of Heaven, I would probably sneer at this kind of person.

After Liu Zhen finished speaking, another person stood up and explained the itinerary this time.

One person after another, one county after another.

Nanyang is worthy of being a large county, with [-] to [-] households and a population of nearly [-] million. There are more than [-] people who are suitable for studying but not studying, which is a responsibility that the current county schools and county schools cannot bear.In order to achieve the enlightenment desired by the emperor, nearly a thousand schools need to be built.

With schools, there are also teachers.Even if a school has only one teacher, it needs a thousand people, far exceeding the current number of students in Nanyang County School.

Perhaps it means that in order to achieve the goal of the Son of Heaven, not only must all the staff of Nanyang County School be mobilized, but also more scholars must be recruited as teachers.

Of course, there are those who want to become an official here, but it is undeniable that more people may not be able to become an official. Being a teacher and earning a salary to support themselves is also a good choice.

At least it's better than relying on others.
