Zhang Ximeng changed his mind temporarily. Instead of talking about the specific content, he turned to lecture. How could everyone present not know why?
Liu Sanwu's old face was ashen, Qi Tai, Lian Zining and others also looked at Wang Hu and gritted their teeth.
The No. 1 school in the world actually produced such a thing?
He blatantly flattered Xianggong Zhang and even ran to hold an umbrella. In front of so many students, he simply trampled on his dignity as a teacher and disgraced himself.
Zhang Ximeng came to Jimin School and his every move attracted much attention.
If it makes Prime Minister Zhang change his plan and start lecturing on moral issues, this matter will definitely spread throughout the world, especially Fudan School, and they will definitely laugh at Jimin School. What will be done then?
These people hated Wang Hu so much that they looked into his eyes and wanted to eat him alive.
As for Wang Hu, all thoughts are lost at this moment and it is a ball of mud.
Holding an umbrella for Prime Minister Zhang, although flattering, is not a big deal. After all, the official rank is overwhelming, let alone the best among officials like Mr. Zhang!
In the past, when ministers, ministers, and envoys came over, it was always like this. Why doesn't it work?
Is it because I have no regard for the dignity of being a teacher, or is it because Zhang Xiang is being picky?
Wang Hu couldn't understand. He just felt that his life was probably over.
Completely ruined, one word determines life and death, one word determines right and wrong.
This is the horror of Zhang Ximeng!
"Today I want to talk about the issue of teachers' ethics. I will talk about two aspects: where do teachers come from and what do teachers teach... Our Jimin School has gathered famous teachers from all over the world. Every teacher is a well-educated person who has experienced ten years of hard work.
You have to be outstanding in reading, and you can only enter the school and teach students after passing various assessments and selections."
"But have you ever thought about how many people in the world can read? I can roughly tell you that under the rule of Yuan Ting, the number of real scholars was about one percent. If you include those who are literate, it is also
It’s only three percent. There are only so many people.”
"Under the Ming Dynasty, due to years of unswerving efforts to build schools and continuous investment, taking Jiangxi and other places as an example, the literacy rate can be close to 20%, and other provinces can also exceed 5%. It seems to have improved a lot, but
There is still only one scholar among five people."
"This ratio tells us that scholars are very precious and rare, and they are the treasure of the country. Having said this, does it mean that scholars are superior to others and should dictate what they want? This is the mistake we have made in the past two thousand years.
Scholars have been elevated to an excessively high position, and a group of scholar-bureaucrats have even emerged standing above the common people. This is a painful lesson, and we must not repeat the same mistakes!"
"In order to train these scholars, how much money does the imperial court spend every year? Last year's treasury expenditure alone was 8.2 million guanbao banknotes. This amount does not include private donations, local investment, salt works, and tax cards.
, special support from internal funds... not to mention the hard-earned money that has to be spent to support a scholar or a family."
"Take last year as an example. Our military expenditure was 7.5 million yuan. This also does not include some military expenditures and bond income... But in any case, the money spent on education is more than the military expenditure.
More, that’s for sure.”
When Zhang Ximeng said this, he suddenly smiled, "The Song Dynasty, which is highly praised by many people, is known as the nurturing scholar. What is the proportion of their expenditure? Military expenditure alone accounts for 70% of the national treasury expenditure. From this point of view, what is the proportion of expenditure?
Who values scholars more and who cares more about the great cause of education seems to need to be re-examined."
"Having said this, I think some people should understand what I mean. Scholars are still very rare, and every scholar is supported by the efforts of the court and the efforts of the people.
.It was the Ming Dynasty that created scholars, not scholars who were superior to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Every scholar should have a heart of gratitude to the country and a responsibility to the people! Teachers are role models among scholars. What should they do in the country and at home, so that they can set an example for the world and be worthy of the money spent on themselves?
Only with money and hard work can we be worthy of the ordinary people who have expectations for us? Does the country have to spend money to cultivate a group of flattering villains? Do the people want to see that the proud man of heaven who has emptied his own wealth to support is a shameless person who bullies the flattery?
A scoundrel?"
"The word "teacher's ethics" is not only a teacher's own moral cultivation, not your own business. It is a common requirement from the court to the people! Since you enjoy the school established with the national treasury income, since you have taken the hard work of the people
If you have a successful salary and salary, you should meet the world's expectations of you! This is what I have specifically proposed when making many legislations. If a teacher makes a mistake, the punishment should be doubled or increased several times! If others are imprisoned for ten years, the teacher will be beheaded.
If others are exiled, the teacher will peel off the last straw!"
"Don't take respecting teachers and teaching for granted, and don't think that the people of the world owe you. Especially when you treat students, you can't do this!"
"The Lord of Heaven and Earth is a teacher. Many people confuse master and apprentice with father and son. This is actually a deceptive talk. The meaning behind it is nothing more than to treat the teacher like a biological father and obey the teacher's orders. This is a very absurd idea.
.What did the teacher teach the students? How much kindness does the teacher have to the students? Can he be closer than a father and son?"
Zhang Ximeng said: "Now that we have talked about it, it comes to the second question, what do teachers teach students... I think what teachers teach students is the summary of the world by the predecessors, the understanding of the best principles in the world, and knowledge.
It’s knowledge… Does this thing belong to the teacher alone?”
"Obviously not. This is summed up by ancient sages and countless wise men. It has been passed down for thousands of years, and it just happened to be in your hands. As a teacher, what should you do? Is to continue to pass on these things.
Go on, carry it forward, bring forth the new from the old, and reach a whole new realm."
"It can be seen from this that when students ask teachers for advice and learn knowledge, they do not pray for the teacher's mercy, nor do they want the teacher to pity you before they are willing to teach... In the final analysis, these knowledge and learning are public weapons in the world. Teachers who master the public weapons should pass them on as a matter of course.
Go on. If you use the knowledge in your hands as a threat, hold students hostage, and make improper profits... What is the difference between this and corrupt officials? This is the use of public weapons for private use, which is corruption and perversion of the law! If a teacher does not teach morality, it is not a moral issue, but
Regarding the issue of law, I hope that all teachers, including young people who will become teachers in the future, can understand the joints here, especially not to be negligent and destroy the dignity of teachers!"
Zhang Ximeng was talking eloquently, and his words were like sharp daggers, piercing many teachers present, causing everyone's expressions to change suddenly, and they couldn't help but lower their heads in thought.
Does what Zhang Ximeng said make sense?
Maybe!
In fact, the most fundamental thing Zhang Ximeng said is to define knowledge and learning as public weapons, which are public and shared by everyone in the world!
As a teacher, it is natural for you to spread knowledge and knowledge. Students have gained knowledge from you and do not need to be grateful to the teacher. As long as it can be passed on and carried forward, it is the best reward for the teacher.
This theory is tantamount to completely denying the remaining master and apprentice Tsunasu.
Sure enough, Zhang Ximeng always has a far-reaching plan when doing things, killing multiple birds with one stone.
Moreover, his height also allows him to stand in the position of redefining the principles and demand all teachers.
This is much more powerful than a simple carrot and stick.
If you dare to act recklessly, you will be punished by national law.
When Liu Sanwu heard this, he had a special feeling. Back in Yashan, when Zhu Yuanzhang offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, it had the flavor of explaining the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers. It was equivalent to telling the people of the world that he, Emperor Zhu, was different from the previous emperors.
The emperor is like this, the ministers are like this, and now even the position of the teacher is different.
In a trance, a brand new world emerges and everything is remade!
It's really quite different.
Among the other teachers, some were shocked, some were lonely, some were hesitant, and so on.
But there were many students present,
Senior students, such as Fang Xiaoru, listened very carefully. He will soon become a teacher.
How to treat students? Perhaps what Xiang Zhang said today will point him out.
As for Zhang Shuning, he has been determined to be a teacher from a very early age. Isn't it too promising to leave the prince and his son alone and become a teacher?
Zhang Shuning once doubted, would his father agree?
But until today, Zhang Shuning seems to have understood something... It turns out that in the eyes of his father, a good teacher has to shoulder such a big responsibility!
That's right, in Zhang Shuning's eyes, these so-called requirements are not burdensome shackles, but a halo that proves the teacher's holiness.
Teach talents, inherit knowledge, prosper the country, and strengthen civilization!
This is the true meaning of teaching!
Who dares to say that the teacher is not as noble as the prince?
Zhang Shuning gradually clenched his fists and looked at his father on the podium with burning eyes. This father was a man he could be proud of for the rest of his life!
At this moment, Zhang Ximeng continued to talk, "I have said so much, but I haven't answered yet. What is knowledge and learning? I think it contains at least two aspects... One is the study of our human world.
The rise and fall of dynasties, the sophistication of people, the economy and people's livelihood, and the various social conditions. Secondly, it is the world where we live. How high is the sky, how thick is the earth, what are the rules of the arrangement of stars, and the movement of the sky! The sea is vast and vast.
Boundless, what are the mysteries in the sea! Thousands of beasts of different shapes roaming the mountains and fields, how do they survive? Rain, snow, wind and frost, spring planting and autumn harvest, and what strength do they rely on..."
Zhang Ximeng kept asking questions. Among the students, Xia Zhifeng suddenly widened her eyes and looked stupidly at the stage. She was stunned... Xia Zhifeng only felt that the issue of teacher ethics mentioned earlier made some sense.
However, these contents directly touched her points of interest. She read many books but could not find the answers to many questions.
Just when Xia Zhifeng thought there was no chance, Zhang Ximeng's words surprised her. Could Mr. Zhang give her the answer she wanted?
