After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 385 Three Sages Sermon

"Although practitioners pay attention to quietness and inaction, it is not suitable for grand occasions." Zhang Sloppy said awkwardly, "But if everyone takes care of himself and does not teach others, the Tao will also decline."

"To tell the truth, preaching to others is also a kind of practice."

"What the sage said is very true!" The two patriarchs Zhengyi and Quanzhen nodded their heads repeatedly after hearing the words.

"If you blindly avoid the world and live in seclusion, it will be a kind of obsession or even a demonic obstacle, which is not conducive to practice." Zhang Quanzhong said, "Besides, the stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade, and it is impossible for practitioners to work behind closed doors."

"What Zhang Daoyou said is very true!" Jian Yongchang said, "Now that the emperor builds the country with Daoism, we, the pioneers of Daoism, should open up Daoism halls and preach everywhere, so as to popularize the essence of Daoism to the general public."

Soon, Zhang Sloppy began to give sermons to everyone in the "Lun Daochang" of Jixia Academy.

On the Daochang, it is located in the center of Jixia Academy.

It is a huge square, clean and tidy.

All of them are paved with one-meter-square bluestone slabs, covering an area of ​​one hectare.

Surrounded by a lotus pond, the lotus is in full bloom and waterfowl swim in it.

There is a pulpit in the middle, and only sages or leaders of various schools of thought are qualified to preach on it.When preaching, the people below can discuss or even raise objections with him.

The minds are completely open and free debate is allowed.

The original intention of establishing the Dao Discussion Platform in Jixia Academy was to allow people from various schools of thought to discuss the truth of the world openly here.You can discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various theories.

Of course, the most important thing is to let them discuss the strategy of governing the country to their heart's content.

After it is proposed, it is submitted to the emperor to see if the emperor accepts it.

With so many talents in Jixia Academy, it is certain that they can come up with many suggestions that benefit the country and the people.The theories of various schools of thought are inherently different, and the fierce collision and exchange of different ideas will inevitably produce brilliant flowers of wisdom.

Of course, the most important point is that the people in Jixia Academy are pure scholars.

The imperial court stipulated that the Jixia Academy was completely separated from the imperial court, and only had the power to discuss politics but not the administrative power.Just as the separation of the three powers separated the legislative and judicial administration, the establishment of the Jixia Academy separated the discussion and administration of government.

Unlike feudal nobles, every decision of the court can affect their interests.

Most of the wisdom in the land of China has been ruined by the word profit.

Many local officials have to spend 90.00% of their energy on entertainment and interest disputes.Less than one percent of the wisdom actually used to govern states and counties.

In fact, it's not that they can't manage the states and counties well, but that good policies have been crushed by interests.

But now the emperor has asked Jixia Academy to discuss government affairs and focus on adoption, which is to completely eliminate the mutual connection between governance and interests.

If the policy proposed by the scholars of Jixia Academy offends the interests of some forces, there is no need to be afraid at all.Because no one, including the emperor, can deal with the scholars of Jixia Academy.

Only the dean can punish the scholars of Jixia Academy.

Because there is no interest in it, and there is no fear of anyone, of course it will propose policies that benefit the country and the people.It is also impossible to propose a poor policy, because every policy has been discussed by various schools of thought.

Of course, it cannot be said that there is no conflict of interest at all.

The 'interests' of various schools of thought lie in the prestige of their schools.

The prestige of a school is equivalent to the ranking of universities. Whichever policy proposed by the emperor is adopted by the emperor and implemented well, then this school will grow stronger and attract more outstanding talents.

To put it simply, allowing Jixia Academy to participate in the discussion of politics is equivalent to an overseas country.Let the famous universities in China and the top students in them participate in the discussion and formulate strategies for governing the country.

These students are young, aggressive, active and knowledgeable.

More passionate, often have a heart of innocence.

Without a social background, it is impossible to have interests in it.

Their collective wisdom, and after all the universities collectively discussed the advantages and disadvantages, the guidelines given will not be bad.

Don't think that these students are young, just because they have nothing to say and can't do things well.Geniuses in many fields and scientists who can make great scientific achievements were born among them.

Their existence will make the entire Ming Dynasty younger.

Rather than old age.

They are definitely capable of naming their giant steamship and warship the Pippi Shrimp.

The future Ming Dynasty will definitely be a youthful and energetic era.

……

"What, the head of the three sages of Jixia Academy has appeared in Jixia Academy!?" A male disciple exclaimed immediately after hearing the news, "It's such a great joy, no wonder I was a big boy! I have heard magpies chirping in the trees outside the college a long time ago."

"The head of the three sages, you mean the sloppy fairy!? Is it true? How is this possible?" The people next to him couldn't believe their ears when they heard a man shouting loudly.

"Of course it's true, I saw it with my own eyes." The interrogator said humanely.

"I heard that Daoist Zhang is over 100 years old!"

"It's as if Peng Zu is still alive."

"Whether it's his cultivation on the 'Tao' or his moral cultivation, it's beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"Listening to his sermons is completely like 'Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books!'"

After a group of disciples got the news, there was a lot of discussion there, and they quickly rushed to the discussion platform.

"Oh my god!" A female disciple of the Zongheng Academy covered her mouth and exclaimed, "A scruffy immortal over 100 years old has actually appeared in Jixia Academy! I thought the three sages in the academy were superior, We won't see each other in this lifetime?" This female disciple is very beautiful, and political strategists pay attention to coordination and lobbying skills, and beautiful women have the upper hand.

"This opportunity is really rare, let's hurry over and listen to the sage's sermon."

"You know, the emperors of the Song Dynasty, the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, several emperors wanted to see the immortals, but the immortals didn't give them face." Another male disciple of the famous family said.

"Now that Lord Sage shows up in the academy, it is simply the pride of Jixia Academy!"

"We are also thanks to Jixia Academy's blessing, so we have the chance to meet the immortal. If you are outside, no matter how high your status is, the head of the three sages of Jixia Academy will not talk to you."

The students from the other hundred schools were excited when they heard the news.

"The three sages showed up in the school to give lectures, and you are so excited?" However, a Mohist disciple seemed not so excited, "If the head of the school came to give a lecture in person, what should you do?"

"The dean preached in person?" The female student of the Zongheng College was in disbelief after hearing this, "I heard that the dean descended from an immortal, and there were only a handful of people who saw him at that time. When the dean preached, I am I dare not even dream about it.”
