Chapter 1013 Digging the wall (thanks to "Sir Dybala" for rewarding the leader)

Jia Yu stood in front of the students, watching each student talk about their experiences.

It was his turn, and he was quietly dragged by Zhao Yan just as he wanted to go out.

What does your child say?

Jia Yu was very dissatisfied.

"Sign up!"

People enthusiastically signed up.

"It's done!"

Li Boyi excitedly said: "Such means can be achieved?"

He really doesn't understand.

"You are too rich!"

Jia Pingan explained Li Boyi's confusion clearly in one sentence.

"You have never felt the hardships of these people, so you naturally cannot understand their joy at having one more opportunity, let alone their anxiety in their desire for their children and grandchildren to change their destiny."

Li Boyi was stunned, "That is to say... whoever can make their life easier for them will they listen to?"

Jia Pingan looked at him, "What do you think?"

Li Boyi said: "Didn't you intimidate them with a knife and gun?"

"Swords and guns don't last long." Jia Pingan felt that there was something wrong with these people's brains. "People under swords and guns will bow their heads, but this will only ossify this Tang Dynasty. When this Tang Dynasty becomes ossified, its decline is inevitable. Faster and more thorough."

A talent show dispelled everyone's doubts, and then the booth for registration opened, and there was a sea of people!

Chen Jiyan and others slipped away quietly.

Jia Pingan nodded, and Bao Dong and others followed.

"Want to liquidate?"

Li Boyi smiled, it's very bad.

"I am a generous person."

Jia Ping'an is looking at his son.

Let Jia Yu come this time, Jia Ping'an's purpose is just to let him experience it.

See people's sentiments, see people's opinions.

Later, the father and son met outside.

"Aye, why are those people so happy?"

“Because their children can learn new knowledge that will be useful for life in the future.”

Jia Yu thought for a while, "What about Confucianism?"

Jia Pingan said: "No matter how much you talk about, it's better to go and have a look. Forget it, I'll take you to have a look."

He changed into plain clothes and slipped away quietly with his son.

Behind him, people were queuing up to sign up for their children.

Students of mathematics stood there one by one, accepting inquiries from the common people.

Jia Pingan saw smiling faces.

…

There are three private schools in Xinfeng County, and the one Chen Jiyan is familiar with is not far from the market.

"There is something wrong over there."

Chen Jiyan's face was pale, and the owner of the private school was surprised: "Why is it wrong?"

"Go talk in the room." Yang Qing felt that some things were best said in private.

They entered the room.

"I thought that Jia Ping'an was helpless, but who knew that he had recruited mathematics students, and after a show, those people flocked to sign up."

The owner of the private school frowned, "What did they show?"

"The practicality of arithmetic."

Mr. looked up and saw a blank face.

…

Jia Pingan took his son outside the private school.

The private school occupies a large area, and even has a door.

"Who are you looking for?"

Menzi is very serious.

Jia Pingan said: "I want to go in and have a look."

Men Zi shook his head, "Where to go, or I will report to the official."

Jia Ping'an said: "If you go in and get someone!"

A group of sergeants appeared behind him. Just as Menzi was about to scream, Xu Xiaoyu held the handle of the knife, "Do you want to tip off the news?"

How dare a doorman.

"Dare not dare!"

Jia Ping'an took his son into a private school.

The sergeants didn't go in.

Menzi wondered, "Didn't you take someone?"

"I'll take it later."

Jia Yu followed his father to the school, and heard Lang Lang while studying.

"Shen Hui five codes, five codes restrained. Emblem, beauty. Five codes, five constant teachings, fatherly righteousness, motherly kindness, brothers and friends, younger brother respect, son filial piety."

Jia Yu whispered: "Aye, this is Shangshu."

Jia Pingan nodded, "Shangshu talked about ancient history, what do you think is the benefit of learning?"

Jia Yu thought for a while, "I don't know."

Jia Pingan smiled, "For the general public, it is enough to know the ancient history, but for Confucianism, they have to study the ancient history thoroughly, and even chew the ancient history, and use the ancient history to explain it. Write an article to express your feelings..."

"Aye, what... what does that do?"

"I can't do anything, I can only find chapters and excerpts."

"On the first day of the first month, it is the last day of Wen Zu. The last day is also the day of Shuo. It is the event of Yao's final throne. The ancestral temple of Wen Zu, Yao Wende."

The sound of reading is really refreshing.

Jia Pingan took him to the other side.

"The emperor is gorgeous. The emperor sends envoys. Send them with rituals and music. Words are far away and have brilliance."

Jia Pingan looked at his son, Jia Yu scratched his head, "Aye, I haven't learned it before."

Jia Ping'an laughed and said, "This is Mao's poem."

Jia Yu thought for a while, "I don't know if it's useful or not after learning this."

Jia Ping'an said: "Whether it is Mao's poems, Shangshu, or others, you should pay attention to one thing, they are all written by predecessors."

Jia Yu didn't understand.

"Confucianism is based on the writings of the predecessors, excerpts from chapters, and artificially increase the difficulty...The purpose is to make these simple knowledge complicated, so as to raise the threshold..."

“The works of predecessors can be learned, but most of Confucianism is illusory things, poems, history... What is missing in Confucianism? It lacks creativity.”

The father and son stood under the tree and talked, and a student came out to pee, and he couldn't help being furious when he heard a few words, so he went back and said it.

A group of students tiptoed out, ready to listen more and refute this stupidity.

"Ayer, what is creativity?"

That's a good question.

"First of all, let's talk about social progress. What is social progress? My father believes that social progress is multi-faceted. Industry, agriculture and commerce, continuous improvement of food production, continuous improvement of the efficiency and ability of craftsmen, and continuous improvement of commercial circulation... All purposes are for Strengthen the power of the people and the country.”

"What is the basis for enhancing the power of the people and the country? Is it about poetry or prose? Neither. It depends on creativity. Where does creativity come from? Creativity comes from changes in ideas and knowledge."

A student was furious, and just about to speak out, two classmates covered his mouth, one left and one right, and glared at him.

This is a theory they have never heard of, and they want to refute it but find it very reasonable.

Who is this person?

"For example, in the new study, there is the knowledge of improving the efficiency of craftsmen. In this way, craftsmen continue to explore. Previously, they could build one carriage a day, but now they can build ten carriages a day. Some people even think that carriages are not good, so they invent horse-drawn carriages. A faster vehicle that can carry more goods and people is creativity."

Jia Yu suddenly realized, "Creativity means discovering what no one has ever discovered before!"

"Yes." Jia Pingan rubbed the top of his head in relief, "When this Tang Dynasty is full of creativity, the army will become stronger and stronger, craftsmen will be able to create more and more excellent utensils, and businessmen will continue to create new ones. Farmers are constantly figuring out ways to increase their income and production..."

Jia Yu couldn't help but said: "Aye, isn't this Great Tang getting stronger?"

"Yes." Jia Pingan said: "But what can bring creativity? Mao Shi or Shangshu? I spend all day thinking about the opinions of the predecessors, but I don't know where the mountains and rivers come from, I don't know how to create sharper weapons, I don't know how. Can increase income, I don't know how to strengthen Datang..."

"Gibberish!"

There was a growl behind him.

Jia Pingan suddenly pulled Jia Yu in front of him, then turned around, protecting his son behind him.

All students!

It's embarrassing to say bad things about others and get caught on the spot!

Among dozens of students, most of them were at a loss, while the rest were furious.

A tall student said, "Who are you?"

Plainclothes Jia Pingan smiled and said: "Passerby."

The student sneered and said, "I have read the books to listen to your talk. Why do you slander Confucianism?"

Jia Pingan said: "How did you know that I slandered you?"

The student got angry, "What you said just now belittled Confucianism."

"Then you can argue with me instead of accusing me of slander." Jia Ping'an felt that he was very happy. If he traveled through the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the previous words would have caused him to be beaten to death.

"Confucianism..." The student started, but couldn't say anything.

This is not the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Confucian scholars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties turned Confucianism into a religion. If you dare to say that Confucianism is wrong, all kinds of sophistry will make you at a loss, and then you will be beaten to death.

Jia Pingan said: "Since you have studied Shangshu, you should also know some history. Look at the history of Qin and Han Dynasties. How much was the yield per mu at that time? How much is the yield per mu now? Every generation is improving, and this improvement is creativity. I think Ask, what help has Confucianism provided in this creativity?"

Jia Yu came up quietly and said loudly: "History and poetry cannot be cultivated, nor can they be craftsmen..."

Students are annoyed, "There is no Confucianism guidance..."

"You want to say that without the guidance of officials educated in Confucianism, there would be no such things?"

Jia Pingan looked at these students, "I'm very glad that you didn't quibble. This is a manifestation of the prosperous age. Now that you have heard what I said earlier, there are two questions. First, is creativity a part of social progress? Source? Second, who is more creative, Confucianism or New Learning?"

The students were silent.

This is really a good time!

Jia Pingan said: "What is the purpose of our studies? Is it to be an official? To make a fortune? Of course."

The students were a little agitated.

Jia Pingan said with a smile: "This is human nature, but on top of that, we should set a small goal for ourselves, for example, can I promote the progress of Tang Dynasty by studying? Whether it is agriculture, industry and commerce or what, one of my suggestions, I One of your discoveries can lead to progress on these, and that's what you're reading for."

Combining goals with personal interests is in line with human nature.

"But you have studied Confucianism...can anyone tell me? Will studying Confucianism help you to make progress in the Tang Dynasty?"

No answer.

Several students were blushing and snorting. If they could, they would like to beat Jia Pingan right now.

"May the so-called justice of the Five Classics bring progress to Datang?"

"In the past, Confucianism was the only one, so there were no other theories for comparison, and Confucianism was self-righteous. Now there are more new schools, and the two are compared. One is old-fashioned, and the other is full of vigor. One is for promotion and wealth, and the other is for promoting the progress of the Tang Dynasty..."

"People can't just take care of themselves. While taking care of themselves, they should also take care of Datang."

Jia Pingan felt that these words were almost enough, "I am responsible for the rise and fall of the world. But after learning Confucianism, what can you do about the rise and fall of the world? You may find the answer in the so-called five classics justice? Yes, you can find those emptiness. Piao’s answer. For example, what to say to persuade the king’s relatives and sages to stay away from villains, to persuade the king to be diligent in politics, to be honest as an official, and to appease the people... Can any of these actually promote the progress of the Tang Dynasty?”

"No!"

Jia Pingan saw Chen Jiyan and others coming out, and said: "Confucianism should be learned. Confucianism is indispensable and indispensable for maintaining the stability of the Tang Dynasty. But if we want to make progress in the Tang Dynasty, is it enough to learn Confucianism? It is not enough. Only learning Confucianism , the dynasty will not progress, it will only stand still."

Chen Jiyan blushed, "He's talking nonsense!"

Since the Han Dynasty dominated Confucianism, this Huaxia has been sick.

Under the influence of Confucianism, social stability has indeed improved, but social progress is like a tortoise crawling.

Jia Ping'an thought of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Some people explained that capitalism sprouted at the end of the dynasty, but Jia Ping'an felt wrong. The germination of capitalism must be supported by corresponding theories, and the exclusiveness of Confucianism is extremely strong. Exclusivity is only one of them, and the decay of Confucianism is the reason why the Central Plains is seriously ill.

They rely on Confucianism to get promoted and get rich. They know very well that Confucianism does not contribute half a dime to social progress. When a knowledge that can promote social progress appears, they will panic and shout...

—Man is a selfish animal, don’t think that Confucianism will make the shoes fit for the feet. If it could, it would have advanced with the times for thousands of years.

"Look at the Tang Dynasty, has society progressed since the founding of the country? No, under Confucianism, creativity is nothingness, and everyone is following the old ways from top to bottom. Is the emperor not wanting the Tang Dynasty to make progress? Think! Your Majesty wants nothing but clothing and food. Revitalize the Tang Dynasty. But to revitalize the Tang Dynasty, you can’t just shout about it, saying that the king is a relative, a sage, and a villain... You have to take action after shouting slogans.”

Jia Yu listened in a daze, but saw that the students were deep in thought, and some even had bright eyes.

Even those students who were initially furious, many turned to attentive listening.

If you can poach the wall, of course I can too.

Jia Pingan said: "The king's relatives and sages are far away from the villains, but how to promote the progress of the Tang Dynasty, how to revitalize the Tang Dynasty, is there any way for Confucianism? Is it possible to find a way from the justice of the Five Classics?"

Chen Jiyan shouted: "Of course I can. Persuade Nong Sang and pay less taxes."

"Sabbie!"

Jia Pingan couldn't help cursing: "This is the wisdom of the predecessors. Do you know how to increase the income of farmland?"

At a loss.

Jia Pingan couldn't help but get angry, "You don't understand anything, just shout a few slogans, and you feel that you are a good minister and a famous person through the ages. But how to increase the yield per mu, how to enrich the people? How to strengthen the country, you Can you understand? What do you know about a strong country? Armors are sharp, but how can armor be sharp? You don’t know at all, you only know that there are craftsmen below. What's the use?"

Jia Pingan pointed out the purpose of these people, "to be an official!"

Chen Jiyan sneered: "Confucianism can teach the world."

The term "educating the world" mentioned here means that the content of Confucianism is beneficial to enlightening the world.

Jia Pingan smiled, "Buddhism and Taoism are also possible."

Following up, the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have almost become brothers. Everyone is good at soothing people's hearts, but if you want to talk about doing things... make a fool of yourself, who has nothing to do! What are the following group of untouchables doing without doing anything?

Chen Jiyan was taken aback.

Jia Pingan asked: "Do you have ambitions?"

The students nodded silently.

All young people in their teens and twenties, who has no ambition?

"Then do it. I said a lot today. In the final analysis, it is just one sentence, do more and talk less."

But Confucianism is a famous talkative party.

How about not letting us talk?

Jia Ping'an is ready to go back.

The students were dumbfounded.

Someone asked: "Dare to ask Mr.'s name."

Jia Pingan nodded, "Jia Pingan."

The father and son walked slowly, and the students were all sluggish.

"Zhao Guogong?"

The new boss actually told us something about ambition and how to realize it.

A student said: "I was thinking... Will what we learn help Datang?"

The Confucian fanatic student said: "Of course it helps, we can stabilize the place and assist the king..."

The student said: "Before Confucianism, those people could do it."

"Stable place..." A student thought thoughtfully, "Local power is a disaster..."

"That is not a place of stability, but a place of exploitation!"

Blush!

This Central Plains is sick.

Fanfan blushed, "If you learn Confucianism, you can become a gentleman."

"A new theory, there has never been a gentleman, if there is, it is either a puppet or a hypocrite."

Fans were furious, "Who are you speaking for?"

The student said, "I speak for myself."

Fanatic fans looked at other students, hoping that they would stand up and speak for themselves.

More than ten people came behind him.

Both sides began to argue.

And Jia Ping'an had already arrived in front of Chen Jiyan.

"Take it!"

Two sergeants rushed over, kicked and tied Chen Jiyan.

Chen Jiyan said with a bruised nose and a swollen face: "Jia Pingan, you arrested someone for no reason, just wait for impeachment!"

"I didn't take you at the time, not because I couldn't find any evidence." Jia Ping'an wanted to slap this guy, but considering that his son was by his side, he couldn't be too violent. I could have broken your leg back then, why not? Just because I wanted to see what else you could do. I was disappointed in the end."

Jia Ping'an was really disappointed, "I hope you guys can make it bigger and bigger. I prepared a lot of methods in the follow-up, but just a skill show made you wait, you said my mentality of waiting for nothing ...do you understand?"

Chen Jiyan paled, "I didn't do anything."

"Go to Baiqi and talk."

Jia Pingan nodded, and then took his son out.

Behind them, those students were arguing.

"Steadying the country is the top priority."

"Yes, if it comes to the stability of the country, who can compare with my Confucianism?"

"How can we stabilize the country?"

Silence.

"If you want to stabilize the country, you must make the people rich and the country strong. Can Confucianism make the people rich and the country strong? No."

"The stability of the country you are talking about is nothing more than ignoring the people so that they can be content with their duties. Even if they are poor and starving, they dare not speak out. Is this a stable country?"

"If you talk about keeping the people ignorant, Fang Wai is better than Confucianism. Just believe in reincarnation. If you are poor in this life, you must have committed evil in the previous life. Redeem your sins in this life and enjoy blessings in the next life..."

"Nonsense!"

"Then what are you saying I'm talking nonsense?"

Silence.

"I have also read the new learning, and most of it is practical learning, but if the country is to be stable, the people must be rich and the country strong. But if the people are to be rich and the country strong, Confucianism or new learning?"

Silence!

A student suddenly shouted: "New student!"

He looked at his classmates with piercing eyes, "Why should I wait to study?"

Silence!

…

A student whispered: "I am responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

"I am responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

The young faces blushed with excitement.

"I am responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"

The voice sounded like thunder, making Jia Pingan, who had just walked out of the gate, smile.

When scholars all over the world agree with this truth, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty will be unstoppable!

…
