Chapter 729 Persuasion
When Kong Yingda comforted everyone and turned to look at Sun Xiangfu, he saw a faint smile on his face again, which made him feel very bad. He remembered that he saw this for the first time in the court 11 years ago. When I was a guy, I was scolded by him, and, in the end, I just let it go and scolded me for nothing.

This time, it was worse than last time, and he was beaten directly, and it should have been for nothing.

On the other hand, Li Chunfeng, who was standing under the stage watching the excitement, murmured, "The rise of the new sage will inevitably have an impact on the old sage, and old man Kong is here today."

On the stage, Kong Yingda said, "Young Master Sun, the previous matter has been revealed. Since you are an imperial envoy, and you are here, the old man will now report some illegal things here to you and ask you to judge."

Sun Xiangfu reached out his hand and said, "Please tell me."

Kong Yingda pointed to Yu Zhendao, who had already squeezed to the front of the stage, "This son is ignorant and incompetent, and taught the art of poisoning to the schoolchildren indiscriminately. This is a crime of misleading his children and disrupting the country. Please be punished by the imperial envoy."

Sun Xiangfu pointed to Yu Zhendao, "You come to the stage to answer, can you admit the crime that Kong Jijiu accused?"

Yu Zhen climbed onto the stage in twos and twos, and replied, "Nothing, the professors of the Jiuyuan County Institute, the research projects are all serious theories approved by the court. , we don’t know what it is, what he smashed at that time was the stall of the ‘Tenebrio molitor’ introduced by the exploration fleet from North America, which was raised by the students.”

Hearing this, Kong Yingda pointed at Yu Zhendao angrily, "Nonsense, the teachings of the imperial court and county studies are all the most reasonable knowledge of the world written by the sages, how could you allow you to teach this crooked way of raising Gu worms? The old man saw it with his own eyes. In the middle, someone ate Gu worms for others, presumably, it was to achieve some ulterior secret."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu roughly knew what was going on, and said, "As far as I know, Tenebrio molitor, which you always think of as Gu insect, is indeed a kind of food, especially after deep-fried, it is crispy and delicious. , is a very nutritious delicacy, not a Gu worm."

Jiuyuan County School is currently the only school that offers biology and natural sciences. The students have tried to breed Tenebrio molitor brought back by Zhao Long and the others, and they have achieved something. They showed it today, and also took the opportunity to let the people who came to watch, Eat fresh.

However, the appearance of Tenebrio molitor, especially when many of them are packed together, is as disgusting as maggots. Usually, only the brave people dare to try to eat it. People like Kong Yingda who have never seen Tenebrio molitor, see Seeing a bunch of Tenebrio molitor, the first reaction is to feel the scalp go numb, and they are identified as evil things like Gu insects.

"Absurd, people have a reason to eat insects. If so, how is it different from chickens, ducks and beasts?" Kong Yingda said angrily, shaking his sleeves.

"What people eat really doesn't make sense. If we eat food, fish, shrimp, chicken, duck, cattle and sheep, as long as it doesn't affect our health, why should we care what kind it is?
The law of the jungle is the truth.

The people are weak, if they don't strengthen themselves, they will be ruled by the powerful or foreign enemies, and there will be no bones left to eat.

How to make them stronger?
Teach them more survival skills and knowledge, so that they can cultivate more food for them to eat, clothes to wear, and houses to live in.

This is the correct truth, and it is also what the sage Confucius said, 'The people can be made, and they should be followed; if they cannot be made, they should be known. ' Positive solution. "

When Sun Xiangfu talked about the Analects of Confucius, the pause was very obvious, and Kong Yingda's eyes brightened when he heard it. He suddenly discovered that the things made by Jiuyuan County School actually used Confucianism in practice.

This sentence uses Sun Xiangfu's sentence, which means that the common people's life is good, let them live it, and the common people's life can't go on, let's teach them how to live it.

It is completely opposite to the ignorance of the common people in the previous Confucian schools, let the people follow the path we guide, and don't let them know why.

And Confucius, who taught the world, had three thousand disciples, and seventy-two sages, would he be a person who advocated the idea of ​​fooling the people?
Absolutely not. If he thinks that ordinary people should be stupid, why bother to teach the world, spare no effort to spread their knowledge, and can say "never tire of learning, never tire of teaching."

It is only because the Confucian scholars of later generations misinterpreted the meaning of the sages and tricked the monarch into adopting a policy of obscuring the people, which would benefit them, the Confucian scholar-bureaucrat group, so they did so.

Only when the common people remain ignorant, those who have mastered knowledge can continue to be superior.

"Young Master Sun is a talented person. No wonder His Majesty appointed you as the Prince's Young Master. It turns out that your understanding of the scriptures is far superior to my own, and you have tried your best to apply it to the real situation. I am ashamed, so it is better." Kong Yingda Suddenly, he bowed his hands very respectfully to Sun Xiangfu.

If it weren't for the funny black circles on his eye sockets, Sun Xiangfu almost forgot that he was dealing with a dispute with him. He turned so fast that he almost threw Sun Xiangfu out of the car, wanting to see him Sun Xiangfu had no choice but to return politely, "Kong Jijiu is too much."

Then, Kong Yingda's next text came immediately, saying, "So, Young Master Sun should also think that only the study of sages is the university knowledge that can make our Tang Dynasty develop and progress. We should use research to understand sages' biography. The learned knowledge is the main..."

"Wait a minute, there may be something, you have to figure it out, what the sages say is justified, but people exist in this world, and many times, there is no reason to talk about it. To learn principles, what you should learn more is the truth." Kong Yingda's heart is really big, he even wanted to pull Sun Xiangfu into the Confucian group, but how could Sun Xiangfu who came from later generations be easily accepted by him? Routine people.

"How do people who don't even understand the truth know what the truth is?" Kong Yingda asked rhetorically.

Sun Xiangfu didn't think about it at all, and replied, "I said just now that there are many things in the world that are unreasonable. Just like some people are born smart and know everything they hear, while others are born fools. After studying for a lifetime, I can't even learn the most basic characters. What's the reason?
Do you want those fools to slam the scriptures and learn the truth?This is unrealistic.

However, fools are also human beings, and they also need to survive in this world. Many barbarians are ignorant, but they know how to use force to rob others of their survival resources. They can't even eat enough, and they don't know how to reason with others.

And if all the people go to learn the truth, who will learn the knowledge of production, farming, and breeding?Do you think that if you reason with these food crops, with those cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, they can grow well?
Therefore, scientific truths are necessary for human survival. Only when everyone has solved the problem of survival can they be able to learn those truths.

As Guan Zi said, "If the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace." 'That's the reason.

But the sad thing is that today's Confucian scholars only know how to learn the truth, but they can't look at the truth rationally. It's like you, and the people behind you, gathered here today, for what?
For the status of Confucianism, for the benefit of these Confucian scholars, but never thought about whether it is something that is beneficial to the country and the people.Even trying to find ways to prevent others from disseminating the truth and knowledge useful to the country is simply a joke in the world. "

Hearing this, Kong Yingda opened his mouth, but did not make a sound, because he seemed unable to deny what Sun Xiangfu said.

Then, I heard Sun Xiangfu continue, "Truth, if it is good for the people, the people will naturally be willing to learn it.

On the contrary, the people will not be willing to learn it.

This is also the reason why the students from those schools in Guanzhong have all transferred to the new school to study.

Because what the new school teaches is useful truth knowledge that can really solve their survival problems. The knowledge taught by Confucianism is not what they have to learn.

Of course, the imperial court has never denied the importance of Confucianism to this country, so it has never stopped the education and dissemination of Confucianism, but Confucianism should only be one of the basic knowledge that the whole people can learn, and should not be the only teaching knowledge in the country .

Otherwise, it will affect the internal balance of the entire country, and it will be misinterpreted and used by Confucian scholars according to their own interests, and it will become a low-level knowledge that is specially used to exploit others. You understand the truth of this. ? "

"Confucianism should only be one of the basic knowledge that all people can learn, not the only teaching knowledge in the country." Kong Yingda murmured as he savored Sun Xiangfu's words, but unexpectedly, he didn't know how to refute.

Sun Xiangfu knew that it was impossible for him to overthrow the belief that a person has been insisting on since he was born. Therefore, he needed to let these Confucian scholars see the power of scientific truth and the reason for its existence. affect them.

In fact, people who can really learn the Four Books and Five Classics to a certain level are actually not low in IQ, because even in later generations, they may not be able to understand these things to a certain extent even if they are not professional liberal arts students in universities.

These talents with high IQs are all used to learn these useless principles. Among them, it is also a good idea to dig out some talents and learn science and technology.

Seeing that Kong Yingda hadn't spoken for a long time, Sun Xiangfu also wanted to find a reason to let him step down.

After all, just now, he has used some methods to dispel the grievances in the hearts of the people, so he shouted to the audience, "Okay, everyone should go back to their original positions, what should be eaten, what should be played, what should be performed Yes, continue to perform. What happened today is just a misunderstanding. Since Kong Jijiu and some Confucian students have misunderstood the knowledge of our Jiuyuan County professor, let’s show them our knowledge. When they really understand these things, there will be no more misunderstandings, Yu Zhen, please arrange it."

Sun Xiangfu did not forgive others when he was justified more than ten years ago, but chose to calm down.

All people have their own interests, and there is nothing wrong with that. Standing at his current height, what needs to be considered is a longer-term, more in line with the direction of future development.

One cannot lose morality. At present, Confucianism is the most comprehensive and systematic way to educate morality.

Therefore, in the new education system, a place must be reserved for Confucianism, which is beneficial to the long-term stability of the country.

Like the Song Dynasty, it was because Confucianism was thoroughly implemented that there was never a situation where ministers rebelled. In the Tang Dynasty, it was precisely because the ministers lacked ideological education and instigated rebellion that they turned from prosperity to decline.

A country with strong military force, developed economy, but lost morality is unacceptable. Sun Xiangfu should try his best to prevent such things from happening, especially when the ethnic minorities in the four sides have not really integrated in.
