Chapter 265 The gentleman does not speak
Anyone who says it should correct it, not say it. There are many people who say it in this world, but they can't say it, but they say it instead. If they can't say it, but they say it instead, this is to save people from drowning, but to use stones to save people.
Drink it with pansy.
Those who make the world more chaotic and unfaithful to the Lord and cause confusion will be reborn from now on.
Therefore, the duty of being a teacher lies in winning principles and practicing righteousness. When principles are established and righteousness is established, the position will be respected. Princes and great men should not dare to be arrogant. They should be as high as the emperor and court him without being ashamed.
Whenever there is a combination, the combination is not necessary. The interpretation of the legacy is that it is not necessary, but if you want to be respected by others, isn't it also difficult? Therefore, the teacher must master the principles, practice righteousness and then respect.
The matter is not clear. The oldest of these students is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they are not very thoughtful. When they speak, they are not as tactful as the ministers. Naturally, they just say whatever they think in their hearts to the prince.
They liked the small waterwheels that Li Chengqian taught them to make quite a lot, but they showed some ambiguity about doing manual work all day instead of practicing the way of a saint.
Early in the morning, Li Chengqian took them to the edge of the model field, which was about 100 meters square. He waved and sat on the ground with these students.
Some of the students surrounding him came from noble families, such as Liu Qixian, Wang Fangqing, Pei Xingjian, Wang Xuan, Lu Yuanfang, Zhang Xi, Li Jingxuan, Changsun Jun, Changsun Yan, and Changsun Wen.
There were also those who came from the families of local officials and common people, including Li Jingyuan, Yang Wu, Li Jingkan, Wang Dezhen, Xin Maojiang, Zhao Renben, Yuan Shuji, Hou Sizhi, Li Yifu, Ren Zhigu, Wang Xuan, Wang Hongyi, and Zhang Jianzhi.
"I know that you all think that practicing the teachings of Confucius and Mencius is the way to enrich the country and strengthen the people, and to stabilize the country. This is true, but it is not entirely correct."
Li Chengqian's words made these children look puzzled. This Confucian way has been regarded as the most important code of the country by kings of all dynasties since the Han Dynasty.
When governing a country, everyone respects his way, and scholars of all ages have learned its essence and become officials to assist the king. Why is it that when the prince comes today, he rejects it?
"Your Highness, I don't understand something. Could you please give me some advice?" Pei Xingjian, the child king, expressed the doubts in his heart for everyone.
Seeing Pei Xingjian saluting him like a little adult, Li Chengqian smiled and waved to him, indicating that he could sit down. Then he said: "Honor, you are still a baby and not a minister yet. What the hell?"
Why are you so old-fashioned?"
Li Chengqian's words made all the students present laugh [ www.biqugexx.xyz ], and Pei Xingjian who was involved also scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Farming and mulberry cultivation are the foundation of a country. This truth does not need to be said alone. Your ears can also hear cocoons. But who can tell you how to teach mulberry cultivation? What everyone tells you is written on paper.
Cangwen College requires every student to choose an engineering subject. Its purpose is to let you master a skill and let you know that no matter what line of work you are engaged in, it is not easy. And the purpose of this small waterwheel we are trying to build is
is also like this."
"There is a saying that a gentleman talks but does not do it. In my case, it is better to be a gentleman who talks but does not talk. It is better to talk than to do. It is better to teach the people how to develop agriculture and cultivate water conservancy than to teach the people how to develop agriculture and cultivate water conservancy.
It would be better to write ten splendid articles so that the people would be confused and unclear about their meaning.
Next spring, you will all have a project to complete, which is to go to several nearby counties to make water trucks for farmers to make irrigation more convenient for them..."
Li Chengqian's words opened a new window for these teenagers whose values have not yet been formed. Young people have always been resistant to traditional education methods in their hearts.
They were also lively and active, so naturally they liked to see the scenery everywhere, so they became interested in the lessons Li Chengqian assigned them, and glanced at the small waterwheels intentionally or unintentionally.
"Guanzhong has been suffering from drought since ancient times. If we can build enough wells, ditches, and waterwheels in every county, then the people here who rely on the sky for a living will receive a lot of improvements, everywhere.
Fertile fields, there will no longer be large-scale desertions.
A little adds up to a big thing, and a small amount adds up to a big pile. From now on, every student at Cangwen College must personally lead someone to complete a coursework that will benefit the village before graduation.
At the same time, you must also understand that coming here to study is not as simple as choosing a shortcut in your career, but more importantly, you need to learn the knowledge to feed and clothe more people."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, the student named Zhang Jianzhi stood up, bowed to Li Chengqian, and said in his mouth: "I will obey Jun's orders and dare not violate them. I will use all my knowledge in this life to benefit the people of the country."
Then other students followed Zhang Jianzhi's example and stood up to salute.
"Okay, I'll just remember what you said. Do things in a down-to-earth manner. Don't do things too hastily. Remember, too much is never enough. Slow things down and things will get better. Eat in small bites and do things in small steps."
After finishing speaking, he waved to the engineering lecturers standing in the distance, indicating that they could come over and give a good lecture to these students...
The craftsman Li Chengqian hired who was good at making irrigation tools was taught by Jiang Xingben. This guy was very capable, but had a bad temper. If Jiang Xingben said he was carved from the same mold, people would believe him.
Not long ago, this guy improved an existing drum truck and made a high-rotation drum truck, which is much more efficient than the drum truck Li Chengqian and others have made these days.
This kind of high-rotating drum car is powered by human or animal power, and its appearance is like a keel car. Its water transporting parts are like a well car, with wooden frames above and below it.
Each wheel is equipped with a wooden wheel with a diameter of about four feet. The sides of the wheel rim are high and the middle is low. Grooves are made in the middle to make it more uneven to increase the friction between the wheel rim and the bamboo tube.
The lower wheels are half submerged in water, and the two wheels are connected with bamboo ropes. The bamboo ropes are about one foot long, and the distance between the bamboo tubes is about five inches. Between the upper and lower wheels, under the upper bamboo ropes and bamboo tubes, wooden frames and wooden boards are used to support them.
to bear the weight of the bamboo tube filled with water.
The bamboo rope tied to the bamboo tube is the transmission part. When the upper wheel rotates, the bamboo rope and the lower wheel rotate with it, and the bamboo tube also goes up and down with the bamboo rope.
When the bamboo tube descends into the water, the bag is filled with water, and then goes up with the bamboo rope. When it reaches the height of the upper wheel, the bamboo tube pours the water into the water tank, and this cycle continues. A series of small bamboo tubes are driven to hold water, and along the water tank
On the other hand, water can be obtained from low water source areas on high banks.
With the current level of technology, it is not easy to make such irrigation tools. Of course, such talents cannot be wasted in intrigues in the yamen, so even if Jiang Xingben is dissatisfied, Li Chengqian has to help recruit them.
