The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 593 Battle of Ideas
"It's easy to recruit, but it's hard to conquer people's hearts." Lin Yifan shook his head and sighed, "These scholars have a high influence in Huazhou. If we use brute force, it may cause anxiety in Huazhou. If we do this, How would the scholars of Mingzhou, and the scholars of the world, feel about it?"

"My lord's words are very true." After reading the petition, Zhang Sheng presented it to Lin Yifan's desk, and said calmly, "If people's hearts cannot be conquered, my way of Hengshan will not be implemented smoothly. I think it is time to send me to Hengshan." It’s a head-to-head contest between ideas and the way of decadent Neo-Confucianism.”

Lin Yifan's eyes burned slightly, and he looked at him seriously, "How to compete?"

"Clarify righteousness in the first instance, sit down and discuss the truth." Zhang Sheng said in a deep voice, showing firmness. "My lord, my way of Hengshan has been tempered for nearly ten years, and I have grown up with Hengshan. Now I can compete with the Millennium Neo-Confucianism."

Lin Yifan was rather hesitant, "Well, after all, Neo Confucianism has a orthodox tradition for thousands of years, and my Hengshan way has only been ten years old, and my foundation is really shallow. I am afraid that I will rashly discuss the way with it head-on..."

"My lord, my way of Hengshan is not to completely deny Neo-Confucianism." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Sheng couldn't wait to say, "After taking the essence and discarding the dross, how can my way of Hengshan be shallow in foundation? The blatant break is just hoping to leverage the thousand-year-old rigidity of Neo Confucianism, make it revitalize, abandon the decadent way, and integrate into my Hengshan philosophy."

"I'm afraid, it's even more difficult." Lin Yifan said with a wry smile, "Confucianism is rigid because it safeguards the rights of all current vested interests. Once it changes, it will be like touching their backs. You like this Do it, they don't have to sit still."

"Then let them come." Zhang Sheng clenched his fists with high fighting spirit, "I have the support of thousands of people in Hengshan, and an unstoppable and powerful army as my backing. Why should I be afraid of those little people?"

"The attacking spear must be strong and sharp." Lin Yifan looked at Zhang Sheng and asked in a deep voice: "My lord and the whole Hengshan can be your backing, but can this spear of yours kill the enemy? "

Zhang Sheng bowed and bowed, "Where the Tao is, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go there."

Soon, the Duke's Mansion responded to all the scholars present. If anyone is dissatisfied, they can go to Huayuan Academy to participate in the debate meeting on the first day of March next year. As the teacher of the Duke's Mansion, Zhang Sheng will face everyone's opinions question.All of them, the Duke and Duchess will personally go to listen to them.

As soon as this move came out, it immediately attracted everyone's uproar.They didn't expect that this young boy dared to challenge their old scholars who had read poetry and books.Many people began to gear up, ready to refute the other side in the debate, and hide their faces.Showing off one's own demeanor in front of the princes and lords, one might still be favored by the lords, enter an official career, marry the daughter of an official, and reach the pinnacle of life from then on. Thinking about it now, I'm a little excited.

But there are also some people who see an unusual meaning in it.They also understand some of the concepts held by Hengshan.Now in Huazhou, Neo-Confucianism is in a life-and-death struggle with Hengshan's philosophy. Between government colleges and private colleges, both sides are fighting for the recruitment of high-quality students.Now that a so-called debate conference is suddenly proposed, is it going to turn the previous secret fight into an open one?

Soon, the matter of the debate conference quickly swept the whole world, yes, not only Hengshan, when the Bachelor of Science in the Cao family heard the news, they couldn't sit still. With their wisdom, they naturally understood the meaning of this debate. significance.If they lose in Neo Confucianism, when Hengshan sweeps the world in the future, it will be the day of their downfall.But as long as they win, then Hengshan will be no different from other forces. Even if it dominates the world, Neo Confucianism will also occupy a dominant position, and it can continue to last forever.

As a result, scholars from all over the world couldn't sit still, and began to leave for Hengshan one after another.This shocked Cao Ziyan. If all these respected scholars had gone to Hengshan, how could he have the face to say that he was what everyone expected, and how could he prepare for the last step?Although he kept sending people to persuade those scholars, how could they just sit idly by in the face of orthodox disputes, immediately sent Cao Ziyan's envoys away, and insisted on going to Huazhou.

Cao Ziyan had no choice but to offend these people, so he had to order them to take care of them all the way until they were sent out of Tianjing Pass.

And Zhang Sheng was not the only one fighting inside Hengshan. When the scholars from various schools in Hengshan learned about this, they immediately packed their bags, mounted their horses, and headed south.They will serve as Zhang Sheng's support team this time, and when necessary, they will replace Zhang Sheng to fight with the scholars all over the world.A war without swords and blood, but more tragic than the battlefield, is about to kick off.

Lin Yifan didn't expect that things would go far beyond his expectations. Originally, he only wanted to challenge the scholars from Huazhou and Mingzhou, but unexpectedly, even the scholars from abroad were moved by the news and came to Huazhou one after another.This local war suddenly expanded into a full-scale war.If one's own side loses, Hengshan's philosophy will be impacted, and self-doubt will begin to appear within.If that time comes, the system created by Hengshan will be seriously affected.

At this time, not only Lin Yifan was worried, but the whole Hengshan was worried. Without him, the opponent's camp was too huge this time. According to the information sent from all over the world, scholars from all over the world were dispatched. People set off.And how many are there in Hengshan?There are only five to six thousand people at full count.Even if there are nearly 6000 scholars of science in their own territory, the combined number of the two parties completely crushes the scholars of Hengshan.

Among them, Guo Huaili and Zhang Sheng were the most stressed.One is in charge of the educational affairs of Hengshan, and the other represents the philosophy of Hengshan.Once they are defeated, not only will they lose face in holding their current position in Hengshan, but they will also waste the Hengshan philosophy that Hengshan has worked so hard to cultivate in the past ten years.

But there was no turning back when he opened his bow. Even if he knew he would lose, he still had to grit his teeth and continue the debate.

In view of the unprecedented scale of the conference, the construction of the debate venue must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.Therefore, under Lin Yifan's instructions, Han Santie personally supervised the construction of a large hall in Huayuan Academy.According to the draft provided by the adults, the entire hall is circular, the outer wall surrounds the entire venue, and the top is covered with a large number of glass sheets.In the field, surrounded by a large number of benches, stacked up in rows, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people can sit.And in the middle of the venue, there is a small high platform with nothing on it. This is the place for debate.

The most surprising thing is that around the high platform, there is a row of trumpet-shaped iron barrels, and behind them, iron bars extend out and are fixed on the upper seats.And along the iron bars, there are thin hemp ropes, and on the other end of the hemp ropes are tied small round boxes.And this is the megaphone designed by Lin Yifan. The audience can hear the voice from the podium through the receiver.

　PS: I don’t know if this can work, so I can only make up my own brain.I used to make this kind of microphone when I was a child. I used two paper cups and tied a thread to the bottom of the cups. I could hear whispers from the opposite side more than ten meters away. Interested book lovers can play with it.

　　In addition, I wish you all a happy new year, a prosperous year of the dog, prosperous!
