Chapter 723: Things about scholars (extra meal)

Tian Feng flipped through the pages of the new edition of The Analects, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of courage in his heart. This book really had such a huge impact on him.

You must know that the cost of cultivating a scholar in the late Han Dynasty was too high, and the most rare thing among them was books.

This is not to say that the original version of the book is rare. For example, "The Analects of Confucius" only has 11,705 words, and is divided into the first ten parts "The Analects of Confucius" and the last ten parts "The Analects of Confucius". This kind of basic book is not rare.

The difficulty is that no one teaches it, and you simply don’t understand it.

In ancient times, due to the difficulty of writing on bamboo slips, it was impossible to write a long speech for you. Instead, I tried my best to use a few short words to express a thought, or several different thoughts.

Even in modern times, there is still a saying of being obedient, not to mention that in ancient times when productivity was relatively low.

If you can't read a book, it's totally different from not having a book. That's why the status of a teacher is so high, almost on the same level as the parents who gave you life.

The not thick book in Tian Feng's hand not only contains the original text of the Analects, but also contains five different theoretical explanations, which is very important.

It can be said that as long as you can read, you can study it by yourself. As long as you work hard, you will definitely succeed in learning.

The reason is boiled down to the fact that the interpretation of the Analects of Confucius by five different theories, the more they collide, the more it stimulates people's desire to think, and the more people can understand the profound meaning.

After quickly looking through other books with identical covers, he found that they were all exactly the same, even the handwriting was exactly the same. Tian Feng immediately thought that these were engraved seals, after all, he used seals every day.

This whole four-wheeled carriage probably contains thousands of copies. If it spreads to the market, Tian Feng can't even imagine how much of a sensation it will cause. The most important thing is that "The Analects" and "Mencius" will be available.

Will Zhouyi, Book of Songs, Shangshu, Book of Rites, and Spring and Autumn be far behind?

If everyone followed this method and put a lot of interpretation into it, then... Tian Feng didn't dare to think about what kind of chaos the world's great families would be in, fearing that the conflicts would be completely ignited.

The current family is in chaos.

Some members of the aristocratic families found that the knowledge of each family had reached its limit due to the neglect of self-preservation. They hoped to restore the ancient system. Back then, the State of Qi built the Jixia Academy, where everyone could be taught without distinction, which ushered in the era of "a hundred schools of thought contending".

, the origins of various current schools of thought all come from the original Jixia Academy.

These people hope to spread knowledge on a large scale, and try their best to educate without distinction, so that more talents can emerge and have ideological collisions, hoping that each school's theory can go further, so that the talents of each school can

The convenience is more, the ability is more outstanding, and the status of the family is more stable.

These people will start classes in their hometowns. For example, Lu Zhi, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were students who attended Lu Zhi’s open classes. There are many others, including Zheng Xuan, who claims to have hundreds of students, Pang Degong and Sima Hui who opened academies, and they will recruit Xu Shu

This kind of knight-errant is a disciple.

Others feel that the class hierarchy should be completely solidified. Farmers do their farming, weavers weave their cloth, officials will be officials from generation to generation, and officials will always be officials. Everyone should perform their duties and do their jobs well, and then the world will be prosperous.

There will be stability and peace, the world will be stable, and the status of the family itself will also be stable.

After all, even an aristocratic family cannot guarantee that outstanding figures will appear from generation to generation. The best way to maintain status is to ensure that the family's status will not decline and to completely solidify the class.

This group of people are staunch supporters of "the people can use it but not know it" and support the complete monopoly of knowledge. In this way, even if those people want to rebel or threaten a big family, it will be impossible and they will be completely cut off.

the foundation of.

The two factions each hold their own opinions. In fact, the contradiction has arisen for a long time. It is just that the world is peaceful, so it has not been stimulated. Instead, it has been implemented in a small area.

Of course, those who support the consolidation of classes are the mainstream, while those who support openness are the minority.

The minority is conducting open classes to teach apprentices, while those who support the consolidation of the class are promoting filial piety and integrity. Those who are qualified to recommend people must be high-ranking officials, and those who are promoted to be filial and honest must also be from aristocratic families, and they have not been promoted even if they are from a poor family.

The qualifications of Xiaolian, such as Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai, are not qualified to be promoted as Xiaolian.

For example, Tian Feng was selected through the selection of Maocai. Maocai was a talent selection routine that was lower than Xiaolian.

Xiang Chunyuqiong was born in Xiaolian. Of course, his personal abilities are also outstanding. He is proficient in eating, drinking, having fun, horse racing and dog fighting. He is also a master among them.

Tian Feng could imagine that if Wang Xuan spread all these books, the consequences... would be like throwing bombs into the pit - arousing public anger (dung).

"Zai Zhi, you have published so many books, don't you think...?" Tian Feng looked at Wang Xuan and swallowed subconsciously.

"Yuan Hao is really smart!" Wang Xuan raised his head and looked at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, with a look of compassion, and said in a low voice: "The sage said that there is no difference in education, but people in the world are suffering from the lack of a book. Today

, I have the ambition to help the people of the world, my body will be broken into pieces, and I will die without regrets!"

Oh, your mother!

Tian Feng's face darkened when he heard this. Although he had not been in contact with Wang Xuan for a long time, Tian Feng had already seen through Wang Xuan's true nature. Wang Xuan would do things that benefited others at the expense of others, but would he benefit others at the expense of himself...

It's impossible to kill him.

"Talk about people!" Tian Feng's face darkened, but no matter what your status is, he will attack you if he wants to.

"What do you mean?" Wang Xuan was unhappy. He reached for a book and patted it in his hand. "I will sell this book for only ten coins. Is it expensive? I'll ask you.

What! Isn’t this considered helping the world?”

"It's not expensive!" Tian Feng didn't bother to lie, but... "Then tell me how much it costs?"

"..." Wang Xuan looked at Tian Feng in surprise. No, at such a sacred moment, how could you think of such a shameful question? Aren't you supposed to be ecstatic?

Wang Xuan glanced at Tian Feng silently, gritted his teeth and said: "Knowledge is priceless, how can you describe the value of a book in terms of cost!"

Tian Feng didn't say anything, and just looked at Wang Xuan quietly, his eyes calm and calm.

"Things about scholars..."

Wang Xuan opened his mouth but didn't say anything anymore. He raised his finger and pointed at Tian Feng, cursing in his heart, no wonder you were chopped off by Yuan Shao. If I, Wang Xuan, weren't so generous, I would have chopped you off too!

After patting the cart of books, Wang Xuan decided to change the topic.

"I will spread these books to all parts of the world through the Mi family caravan. At the same time, I will suggest to Duke Xuande to post recruitment notices everywhere in the world, and reopen the 'Jixia Academy' in Linzi, the hometown of Qi State.
