This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 584 Volume Five Overturns Datang’s Culture and Education

For Daming Academy, Li Chengqian really paid attention to it.

What he said to Yu Shinan yesterday was not to fool him.

He really wanted to cultivate a group of talents suitable for Daming.

So in these years, he has invested a lot in Daming Academy. Apart from money, Li Chengqian also put many things of later generations in Daming Academy.

Right now, I'm wandering around in the school.

With the expansion of Daming Academy in the past few years, it has long been moved out of Daming Palace.

Of course, it was not far from the Daming Palace. When Li Chengqian was wandering in the Daming Palace, Yu Shinan, Li Xiaogong, Qin Qiong, Li Tai and Qin Huaidao walked in together.

They were already together, how could Yuchi Baolin only invite one when he went to invite someone, wouldn't that offend him?
Besides, Li Chengqian's move is to promote the culture and education of Ming Dynasty, and it doesn't matter if there are more people.

Among them, Yu Shinan is obviously the most interested. As a literary master in the early Tang Dynasty, he values ​​culture, education and inheritance the most. Even if Li Chengqian doesn't invite him, he still plans to find a chance to come and have a look in these two days. .

To be honest, if Li Chengqian hadn't been married before, he would have come here long ago.

But once they entered the Daming Academy, they were still shocked. If the previous Daming Hospital had opened their eyes, then the Daming Academy was even worse.

Even the Guozijian in Chang'an can't keep up with Daming Academy in terms of land occupation.

Not to mention the architectural style they had never seen before, although I dare not say that it must be more magnificent than Chang'an Guozijian, but it is definitely novel enough, and the flag stand on the huge playground really gave everyone an extremely shocking feeling.

"Where is Your Highness?" Li Xiaogong asked.

Yuchi Baolin looked around for a while, called someone over casually, and said, "Take the envoys from the Tang Dynasty to see Your Highness."

Hearing that, the man immediately walked ahead and led the way.

And when they found Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian was listening to a group of students debate outside the six-year hall.

"Foreign ministers, see Your Highness." Everyone bowed in unison.

Li Chengqian just glanced back, waved his hands, and said, "You don't need to be too polite, come, take a look, take a look at the debates of my students in the Sixth Year of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention, it's quite interesting."

"Debate? Debate about what?" Li Xiaogong immediately asked.

How could he know these things like a big bastard? He was just curious at the moment.

Wei Shuyu explained from the side: "The so-called debate is the final exam for the students of the Six Years Hall. The master will ask a question, let the students draw lots to choose the pros and cons, and then the two parties will argue based on the actual situation.

For the common people, the topic of this debate, the Yellow River, is whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. "

"What does Six Year Hall mean?" Yu Shinan asked.

"Six-year hall means that students have studied in the school for six years, or the students' homework has reached the standard of six-year hall." Wei Shuyu continued to explain.

Yu Shinan frowned when he heard the words: "Can I finish my studies in the Six Years Hall? What can I learn in six years? My Tang Dynasty students, who has not studied hard for more than ten years, just like this, at the age of the old man, isn't it? Live and learn!"

"Mr. Yongxing misunderstood." Li Chengqian laughed when he heard the words, "The so-called completion of the six-year school is just a phased one. What the Daming School pays attention to is one year of enlightenment, two years of literacy, three years of reasoning, and four years of work.

The whole study adds up to a full ten years.

Of course, if you can't graduate, it may take longer.

Therefore, Yongxing Gong's worries are unnecessary. "

Yu Shinan nodded when he heard the words, and said: "One year to develop wisdom, two years to learn to read, three years to understand reason, and four years to do things. I don't know what's important in this?"

He is quite interested in this. After all, he is an old scholar, and he still has some research in this regard.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "The so-called one-year enlightenment is to enlighten students' spiritual wisdom when they are still young. Although this stage is the easiest, it is also the most difficult.

Two years of literacy is the literal meaning. Of course, it does not mean that they have only learned characters in the past two years, but learning characters is the foundation.

And three years of understanding is to learn the principles of the world. At this stage, the emphasis is on understanding.

If you don't argue, you don't understand, so the last step in three years of understanding is to argue.

In the end, it is four years of work.

In the past four years, they have to practice the principles they once argued.

Just like this group of Liu Nian Tang students, they are debating the Yellow River today, and in the future, they will work for four years to control the water.

This set is also a set of educational concepts that Ben Wang and Chen Xuezheng have pondered for a long time before deciding. Of course, there may be some differences with Datang's concepts, but the purpose is the same.

It's all about cultivating enough outstanding talents for the world. "

After hearing Li Chengqian finished speaking, everyone nodded involuntarily.

Anyway, Daming's educational philosophy is really good.

"Your Highness is really careful." Even Yu Shinan nodded at this moment.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "It's impossible to talk about it. You might as well take a look at the performance of my students in the Sixth Year Hall of Ming Dynasty. It's time for a wonderful moment."

Just as we were talking, in the school, the representative of the opposing side got up and said: "Although the Yellow River created the river basins along its route, how many innocent people's lives have been eroded by the floods caused by the Yellow River basin over the years?

How many innocent people have been displaced?

Starting from the pre-Qin period, let's take a look at these data, BC...

Since it was recorded, the Yellow River has directly or indirectly taken millions of lives and displaced hundreds of millions of people in the past thousands of years. "

As the representative of the opposing side spoke, he really took out the data he had sorted out, and handed a copy to everyone present, including Li Chengqian and others outside the classroom, and someone sent them a copy.

"Judging from these data, the Yellow River does more harm than good to the people, because life is priceless. If someone thinks that the Yellow River is more good to the people than harm, then ask those innocent people who lost their lives due to floods to agree? promise.

Ask those people displaced by floods whether they agree or not! "

After he finished his eloquent words, there was no reaction in the school, but everyone outside the school was stunned.

Good guy, it's really justified!

Especially the thick information in his hand, Yu Shinan has read it just now, it is really detailed, and every time the flood disaster comes from, it is clearly marked, with Yu Shinan's extensive experience, he dare not say Every piece of data is true, but most of them, he remembers.

And the statistical table on the last page made him feel refreshed.

It was a statistical method he had never seen before.

"Your Highness, this..." Yu Shinan asked in surprise.

"This is statistics." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Yongxing. In the Daming Academy, all students above the fifth grade must learn this."

"Statistics?" Yu Shinan pondered for a moment when he heard the words.

Even he has to admit that this so-called statistics does have its own unique features.

And at this moment, in the school, the representative of Zhengfang immediately stood up and retorted: "If you only focus on natural disasters and ignore the fact that the Yellow River has benefited the people along the way, how is this different from playing hooligans?
I also have a copy of the data here, and please distribute it to everyone present here. "

After all, this guy was even more ruthless, and immediately he and his companions took out several thick stacks of documents from under the table, which were thicker than the ones brought out by the opposing party just now.

When they were studying this topic, they guessed that the opposition would definitely use natural disasters as an issue, so they had already made sufficient preparations.

Of course, even if the opposing side does not use natural disasters as an issue, this is still a strong argument for them.

After the gentleman presiding over the debate arranged for someone to distribute the materials, the affirmative representative said: "Just now, the opposing party said that the Yellow River has lost so many lives and displaced many people due to natural disasters over the past thousand years. .

On this point, I have no objection.

But I want to ask, is this the Yellow River's fault?
Did Huang He take the initiative?
I know, some people are going to say that this is a natural disaster, but the Yellow River is the instigator after all?
Then I ask everyone to look at the information in your hands.

In the past thousand years, what earth-shaking changes have taken place in the Yellow River Basin.

In the pre-Qin period, there are bamboo slips to record that both sides of the Yellow River were lush.

Look again now?
Both sides of the Yellow River are almost bare.

The cultivated land on both sides of the Yellow River has become more and more barren from the pre-Qin period to the present.

Whose fault is this?

Is it also Huang He's fault?
Let's turn to the fourth page of the materials.

From the beginning of written records, the Yellow River Basin has nurtured the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people. Has this been ignored by everyone?

It is said that the Yellow River does more harm than good to human beings, so why not say it, because human beings do more harm than good to the Yellow River!
If it weren't for human's endless greed, endless deforestation, and endless demands, there would be the Yellow River today!
If there are no human beings, why is the Yellow River called the Yellow River!
So, how do we have the face to accuse the Yellow River of harming human beings here!It's time to reflect!classmates! "

"Well said!" Yu Shinan couldn't help but slapped his thigh when he heard these words.

He really felt that what he said was well-founded and powerful.

And the argument is very convincing.

Not only them, even Li Xiaogong and other big bastards listened with great enthusiasm.

Li Chengqian just smiled without saying a word.

Looking at the guy in the school, he thought to himself, this kid is really clever, he changed the topic of the debate in one go.

But he also had to admit that these little guys had indeed grown up.

"Is the representative of the affirmative side off topic?" At this moment, the representative of the opposing party said, "Our topic of debate today is the Yellow River for the common people.

You are talking about human beings and the Yellow River. Are debates starting to disrespect topics now? "

"The purpose of the debate is to understand reason." The affirmative representative was not nervous, and immediately retorted, "Today's rebuttal is to prove whether the Yellow River's advantages outweigh its disadvantages or its disadvantages outweigh its advantages. Am I wrong?"

……

"Let's go, go and see the students of Seven Years Hall." Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled immediately, "Next, they will be enough to talk about, just this question, no matter ten days and a half months, no one will think about it." Convince who."

He knew these guys, as long as he seized a chance, he would bite back madly, and he would never let go until he bit off a piece of meat.

Of course, he also supports this style of work.

"It's obvious that the affirmative side has won, and the opposing side is just sophistrying." Yu Shinan immediately snorted coldly.

He liked the affirmative's point of view in the debate, and he became an immediate supporter of the affirmative.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "What is sophistry? Would it be a gentleman to let them admit defeat now?"

"Why not?" Yu Shinan said, "Correct when you know your mistakes. There is nothing good about it. If you keep biting other people's mistakes, where does the gentleman's style come from?"

"So if you don't stand firm, you are a gentleman?" Li Chengqian retorted immediately, "If you sit on the wall and watch the wind, you are a gentleman? The reason why we use the debate competition as a three-year graduation exam for understanding.

One is their preparatory work for the test.

The second is to test their on-the-spot reactions.

The third is to test the firmness of their stand.

In many cases, either there are many people who support it, or it is right.

They must have their own analytical skills.

If they are easily persuaded by others, if an enemy country comes to lobby them in the future, will they follow others as long as they are reasonable?Betray me Daming?
So, for some things, you can't just look at the surface, but also look at the deeper aspects.

What I, Da Ming, cultivates are the talents of the Ming Dynasty and the talents of the world, but the talents of the Ming Dynasty must first be the talents of the Ming Dynasty, and then the talents of the world. "

What Li Chengqian said was very selfish, but people like Li Xiaogong nodded.

They can understand this truth.

Although Yu Shinan didn't agree, he nodded, and just asked: "Is the talent cultivated by Your Highness in this way too limited?

If they firm up their position, will they be stubborn in the future?

Is such a talent suitable for court? "

"That's why it took four years to do things?" Li Chengqian laughed, "After four years of doing things, what they did was what they argued at the time. The reason is not clear, but the truth can only be learned through practice.

Only through practice will they know what is the truth.

This is why we are now going to visit the students of the Seventh and Eighth Year Hall. "

After speaking, Li Chengqian walked in front.

Li Chengqian didn't plan to take Yu Shinan to see the students in the [-]rd Hall.

At this stage, even if Daming has his own novelty, it is not worth mentioning to someone like Yu Shinan.

Only ideological things can touch a generation of great Confucianists like Yu Shinan.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shinan did not refuse this time, and immediately followed behind Li Chengqian with the others.

Li Chengqian took them to the class of Ba Nian Tang.

He checked the class schedule earlier, and today the Eighth Grade School is having a practical class.

And their practical class, what they do is to build bridges and pave roads.

When Li Chengqian and the others came, a group of half-children were building a bridge over the man-made river in the school.

Yu Shinan was dumbfounded by this.

"Your Highness, don't tell me that this is a student of Daming Academy?" Although Yu Shinan couldn't believe it, looking at the clothes on their bodies, he already had the answer in his heart.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Why not?"

"It's an insult to the gentleman! It's an insult to the gentleman!" Yu Shinan stomped his feet angrily, "A dignified Confucian student is like a farmer in the mountains, how decent is he!"

"What does it mean to be insulting?" Li Chengqian said with a sneer, "True knowledge comes from practice, and they may become a parent official in the future, so naturally they can do everything.

Only when they know everything can they truly benefit the people.

Although there are not many rivers in my Ming Dynasty, there are not a few of them. If they are appointed as the parents of one party, will the travel problem of the people under the rule be solved?
Why is it called insulting?
If they don't have basic cultural knowledge, Duke Yongxing thinks they can build such a bridge?

Of course, in the future, they don't have to do this kind of thing by themselves, it's just their studies now.

Moreover, after experiencing this, they will also understand the difficulties of the people when dealing with the people in the future. Isn't this a good thing? "

"What's so difficult about building a bridge?" Yu Shinan said upon hearing the words.

Hearing what he said, one of the students who were repairing the bridge immediately raised his head and said, "It's not difficult? It's not difficult, you come?"

"How did you say that?" Li Chengqian yelled angrily when he heard the words, and said, "This is Duke Yongxing of the Tang Dynasty, a generation of school sects, how could you offend him?"

Hearing that, the student immediately cupped his hands and said, "It's the late student who was rude, but the late student still wants to say that building a bridge is definitely not as simple as laying a few planks on the river! Moreover, it's not just about building a bridge on the river." , A bridge can also be built between two peaks.

Of course, where the bridge is built is not important, what matters is the purpose of the bridge.

Therefore, site selection is also extremely important.

In general, bridge construction is an extremely cumbersome project from project approval to site selection to construction and completion, which covers all aspects of knowledge. "

After hearing what he said, Yu Shinan was immediately silenced.

There is no way, he doesn't understand, so he is speechless at the moment.

Li Chengqian said with a smile, "I'm sorry, but I, a student of the Ming Dynasty, went too far in insisting on my own opinions, and I made Yongxing laugh."

"No." Yu Shinan said with a smile, "It is indeed a good thing to have your own thoughts and your own persistence. If I am a student of Datang, I can do the same. I will die without regret."

Although he is pedantic, he is also quite enlightened in some respects.

At least the student's words, even if they didn't convince him, were indeed well-founded, at least he couldn't refute them for a while.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Then let's take a look and see how they do it?

Moreover, the boy was right in saying that building bridges and paving roads is never a trivial matter.

From the beginning of site selection, it must be paid attention to.

First of all, we need to understand why this bridge or this road was built.

Because it directly determines who they serve.

In the final analysis, this is people's livelihood, and people's livelihood is actually an extremely complicated matter.

For example, if you want to build a bridge, there are fifty families on the east side and only ten families on the west side, but the west side is connected to a county town. So where should the bridge be built?

At this time, it is time for the parents of the official side to make a choice. "

"Where does His Highness think it should be repaired?" Yu Shinan asked curiously.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "I haven't actually visited it, so how would I know? However, they will know."

With that said, Li Chengqian pointed to the busy people.

　Yesterday's chapter and so on... sorry.
