Chapter 126: Hundreds
The article was written by nature, but it was accidentally acquired by a clever hand.
In this era, no one can say the words on the huge stone at the door, so Yuan Shu's doing this is not considered plagiarism. After all, this is indeed what he thought of in a "dream".
Although Yuan Shu only remembered this sentence and forgot the person who said it in history, he must be a highly respected and broad-minded Confucian. Such a person who cares about the world will definitely not be in the world.
He was angry because Yuan Shu carried forward his words in advance.
Therefore, Yuan Shutian was shameless, oh no, very considerate and decisively put this famous saying in his name.
Needless to say, the effect was obvious. Looking at the group of scholars gathered around the boulder and admiring his masterpiece with feverish eyes, one knew that Yuan Shu had succeeded in showing off again.
Based on these words, no one in the scholar community would dare to disrespect me even in the future.
Zheng Xuan was also shocked when he saw this sentence. Such famous aphorisms that can be passed down through the ages were actually written by Yuan Shu?
If he hadn't known that the other old men were not in Yangzhou and had nothing to do with Yuan Shu, Zheng Xuan would have really doubted whether one of his old friends was helping Yuan Shu gain his reputation.
"Gao Dao, the fact that you can write such a masterpiece of the ages shows that you have extraordinary talent and learning, and that you are a man of great talent. I hope you will not waste this talent of yours."
Zheng Xuan looked at the triumphant Yuan Shu and sighed.
Yuan Shu curled his lips disdainfully: "What does it matter no matter how good the article is? It can't bring peace and prosperity to the country, and it can't govern the people below. It's not as effective as a diligent and capable small official. Mr. Kangde, I don't want you to help me train him."
A bunch of rotten scholars who can only write poems, songs, and talk! Not only can they govern the world, they must at least learn how to govern a county. You know, I am responsible for setting the questions for the final graduation examination! Don't come here
At that time, there were only a few people in the group who passed the test, and it was not my face that was humiliated."
Zheng Xuan's face darkened, knowing that this kid was full of bad ideas. No wonder he had to set up some kind of graduation examination and write the questions himself.
I thought he was just trying to gain some reputation, but I didn't expect him to be waiting for me here!
"Highway! Not all students want to be officials! As you said, there are also many scholars who are continuing their pilgrimage. What you are doing is going too far!"
Yuan Shu had known that the old man would react like this: "Mr. Kangde, I don't require all students to be officials, but at least 80% of the students will pass from me. And the exam I arranged is very simple, and the test is nothing more than
It’s just math and some basic management and people’s livelihood knowledge, so that’s enough!”
Zheng Xuan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "That's pretty much it. By the way, what are you going to do with those people from hundreds of schools of thought? I have no control over their studies and assessments. You can't let me teach them Confucian knowledge!"
Yuan Shu smiled and said: "Let these people do their own research! Except for a few Legalists, others are not suitable for officialdom. There are many books from hundreds of schools in the library, so I kept them in the academy.
Here, let them learn on their own, and it is best to communicate closely with Confucian disciples frequently, which will be beneficial to both parties."
Zheng Xuan had a dark look on his face. The intimate exchange probably didn't lead to a fight between them! It seems that Jinling Academy like him can't calm down anymore.
Yuan Shu didn't care how much trouble Zheng Xuan would encounter in the future. He was making a small calculation in his mind at this time: "At this time next year, all the children from the academies in each county should have graduated! By then, these people from hundreds of schools will be revealed.
Just let them recruit a group of successors, and they should be able to recover in ten years or so!"
Yuan Shu was particularly interested in the Mohist, Legalist, Yin-Yang, famous, farmers, strategists, military, medical, etc.
However, seeing the three or two big cats and kittens of these schools, Yuan Shu thought carefully and decided that he still had to send some private goods to these schools.
Needless to say, the Legalists can just throw the current legal system of Yangzhou over and let them study it. It is best that they can modify and improve it. These free coolies should not be used in vain.
Yuan Shu specifically asked Lu Su to draft and perfect Yangzhou's laws for half a year. During this period, Yuan Shu gave a lot of suggestions and strictly checked the laws at the end. A lot of private goods were mixed in.
According to the Mohists, Yuan Shu planned to write a book and secretly send some of the physics knowledge he still remembered to give them some convenience and ask them to help improve warships, farm tools, waterwheels, etc.
The rest is analogous, let the Yin and Yang family study chemistry, let the famous people tinker with newspapers, let the farmers study hybrid breeding, and let the doctors trouble the hospitals.
The remaining Yuan Shus have nothing to do, so give them enough money and convenience to let them do it themselves!
Yuan Shu now feels like buying stocks and picking up missed opportunities. Before others realize it, he has already collected this basket of potential stocks and is waiting for them to soar into the sky in the future!
I really don’t understand why so many outstanding schools of thought have not been taken seriously. They have even been attacked. As a result, these schools have not only made little progress over the past few hundred years, but have even regressed.
Aren't these schools of thought important? If nothing else, if you fully support the development of doctors for two hundred years, I don't believe that the plague will still be so rampant! If you support the development of farmers for two hundred years, the yield per mu will definitely increase a lot.
Yuan Shu understood that these schools of thought were treasures, and any slight progress would be of great help to him.
Therefore, although it is impossible to support it on the surface, Yuan Shu will definitely send people to contact them secretly. Obtaining talents who specialize in these arts will be of great benefit to Yuan Shu's future development.
Yuan Shu murmured: "These talents are all treasures! Mr. Kangde, you have to keep an eye on me. Don't let them fight!"
hehe!
Zheng Xuan looked at the nine huge debate platforms built by Yuan Shu not far away and was quite speechless.
"Now you know how to help me! You have set up so many debate stages, I thought you wanted these people to fight!"
Yuan Shu laughed and said: "How can you do that? A gentleman talks but never does anything! Besides, aren't you still there to control this?"
Zheng Xuan felt helpless when facing the dour-faced Yuan Shu.
Where do gentlemen come from who are always talkative but not violent? Which Confucian scholar of this era is easy to get along with? All of them are more courageous than knights.
If nothing else, among the officials above the court, despite their thin bodies and graceful demeanor, it would be perfectly normal for them to get into a fight and start a fight in court.
Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, many prime ministers have relied on their skills and physical strength to stay seated! If I can't explain you, if I can't persuade you, I will take action and knock you out with one punch to see who dares to object.
In the history of the Han Dynasty, many officials in the court were accidentally beaten to death by their colleagues because of different political opinions! Even the emperor could not stop them.
Confucianism in this era is very bloody! Revenge is a common practice, and it pays attention to bloodiness and chivalry. Even if you are an elder, you must avenge and kill people with justice. It is normal to kill people for loyalty, but isn't it even more normal to fight for your own doctrine and perseverance?
