The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 596 Universal Education
Everyone couldn't help but looked at it together, their eyes couldn't help but widen.

"It's Mr. Bian Ji, that's great, we can finally win the round."

"Mr. Bianji is here, let's see how that kid responds. Humph!"

"Mr. Bian Ji, one of the three schools of Neo-Confucianism, can take the stage. This debate conference should become a grand event that has been passed down through the ages.". . . .

Seeing this, Lin Yifan couldn't help but shrink slightly, with a look of worry on his face.Is this old man really capable?Zhang Sheng's situation is dangerous.

At this moment, Zhang Sheng was extremely nervous.Looking at the old man climbing up the high platform step by step, his heart was full of admiration and entanglement.Mr. Bian Ji's philosophy is actually quite similar to Hengshan's. When he read a lot of books, he specially read his works.Soon, many novel viewpoints were discovered, sweeping away the ossified and decadent atmosphere in the old Neo-Confucianism.But it is a pity that this Mr. Bian Ji still cannot get rid of the shackles of Neo-Confucianism, he can only improve and innovate the old Neo-Confucianism, and still cannot change the old framework of Neo-Confucianism in essence.

After a while, Mr. Bian Ji finally came to the high platform.

Zhang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Student Zhang Sheng, see you sir."

Mr. Bian Ji was slightly startled, and couldn't help wondering: "I don't remember you as a student?"

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but smiled awkwardly and said: "Although the student is not the teacher's student, the student has read the master's masterpiece and gained a lot. Therefore, I will call you sir with a shy face. I hope you will forgive me."

"Oh? Have you read the old man's works?" Mr. Bian Ji couldn't help being very surprised, and immediately asked him a few questions about his own works.

Zhang Sheng immediately answered one by one, which made Mr. Bian Ji quite satisfied, nodding his head again and again.

What the two said on stage can be said to have fallen into everyone's ears verbatim.I can't help but feel a slight thump in my heart, what does Mr. Bian Ji mean by this?Do you want to release water?
Just when everyone was suspicious, Mr. Bian Ji walked slowly to the podium, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp.Zhang Sheng didn't dare to be careless, and immediately waited intently, waiting for the other party's question.

Mr. Bian Ji was not pretentious, he opened his mouth and said, "What is a teacher?"

"Teacher, preaching and accepting karma to solve doubts."

"Why study?"

"If you know Mingde, if you are poor, you will be good for yourself; if you are rich, you will benefit the world."

"What is the state of study?" Mr. Bian Ji asked with a burning gaze.

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but fell into silence for a while, and then he looked up at Mr. Bian Ji, and replied firmly, "My lord once said a word, which may be able to answer your question. That is to establish a heart for the world, and to establish a life for the people." , to inherit the unique knowledge of the saints, and to bring peace to all generations."

"Build a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the sages, and bring peace to all generations." Mr. Bian Ji couldn't help but meditate on these words, and a realization suddenly emerged in his heart. Isn't this what he wants to achieve? situation?Excited in my heart, I couldn't help but praise: "Okay, what a great one to bring peace to all generations. The old man can't imagine that the Duke of the Kingdom has such great ambitions, admiration, admiration!"

Everyone was also stunned by these words, such majestic words, like a thunderbolt, suddenly smashed into the hearts of everyone.At this time, they finally knew what they had learned all their lives.Many people quickly changed their views on Hengshan. How can someone who can say such a thing be a treacherous and evil person?
Feeling the admiring gazes from all directions, Lin Yifan smiled embarrassedly, and forced himself to be calm and calm.On the other hand, the two ladies next to her raised their heads proudly, as if they were the objects of admiration.

"Okay, I have one last question left for the old man, and I would like to ask my little friend to enlighten me." Mr. Bian Ji suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said solemnly.

"Mr. speaks too seriously, but the students don't dare." Zhang Sheng quickly waved his hands and said, "Mr. asks questions, and the students know everything."

"Okay, old man, let me ask you, how to make everyone in the world a sage?" Mr. Bian Ji looked at him expectantly.

Zhang Sheng's face changed. He really couldn't answer this question.Everyone is a sage, which is the highest ideal of Confucianism.But since ancient times, it has never been realized.

Looking at Zhang Sheng's confused face, Mr. Bian Ji couldn't help showing disappointment in his eyes. It was not disappointment with Zhang Sheng, but disappointment that no one could realize this lofty ideal.

But the smiles finally appeared on the faces of some people below. They thought that they and others were about to lose, but they never expected that Mr. Bian Ji's last question would stump the other party.It seems that Neo-Confucianism has finally pulled back a round.

Lin Yifan did not expect that Mr. Bian Ji would ask such a question, even he himself could not answer it.Wanting everyone to be a sage is tantamount to dreaming.Unless human beings go back to primitive times, everyone's mind is pure.But is it possible?Even if the era of everyone's sages is really realized, then human beings will begin to perish.Only with selfishness and desire can human beings continue to develop and move forward. He does not rule out that everyone has selfishness. As long as it is legal and reasonable, everyone can do what they want and strive for their own ideals.

Looking at the embarrassed Zhang Sheng on the stage, Lin Yifan couldn't sit still, got up abruptly, and strode towards the high stage.

Looking at Lin Yifan who came forward, Zhang Sheng couldn't help bowing in shame: "My lord, I am incompetent and unable to answer this question."

Lin Yifan patted him on the shoulder, and said in relief: "It's okay, you've done a good job, now go down and rest, I'm here."

After Zhang Sheng retreated, Lin Yifan came to the podium, looked at Mr. Bian Ji calmly, and said, "Mr. Bian Ji's question is deafening. I am not talented, so please try to explain Mr. Bian Ji's question." Sir teach me."

"Don't dare, my lord has a good opinion, so I don't want to guard against it." Mr. Bian Ji hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I am all ears."

Lin Yifan took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. asked, why is everyone in the world like a sage? I think, why should everyone in the world be a sage? Everyone has no desires or desires, so who will farm and who will produce? If there are no these things, the sages will freeze and starve to death. I believe that everyone is driven by profit.

When Mr. Bian Ji heard the words, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought. After a long time, he asked: "I don't know how to do it, my lord?"

Lin Yifan said solemnly: "First, establish a sound legal system to regulate the behavior of people in the world. All selfishness must be carried out legally under the law. Second, implement the education of the whole people and enlighten the wisdom of the people. Teach them with etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame." And the law, so that it can distinguish right from wrong, know the proprieties and obey the law."

Mr. Bian Ji's eyes brightened slightly, and he continued to ask: "How to implement the education of the whole people?"

"Implement universal education for all." Lin Yifan knew that everyone could not understand, so he immediately explained, "The so-called universal education means that everyone is responsible for completing a certain degree of education, and the minimum requirement is to be able to read and write. As long as everyone can understand If you read the documents, you will not be easily deceived by others. You can read the documents yourself and get your own opinions from them. Although this method cannot achieve holiness for everyone, it can improve the quality of people in the world and no longer be ignorant. After a few years, how can we not reach the point where everyone can be holy?"
