In Li Qinzai's eyes, there are two types of arrogant people in the world.
One is that they clearly see the cruelty of reality, but they have something to rely on. They know that their own weight cannot be shaken by ordinary people, so they dare to be arrogant.
The second is that he failed to see clearly the cruelty of reality, and acted unscrupulously and arrogantly in a ridiculous way. No one knew where the confidence for his arrogance came from, but he just dared to be arrogant.
The two forces in the school happen to fall into these two categories.
In the past, Li Qinzai had always thought that it was the little bastards who needed education. After all, they were quite capable of causing trouble, and they must always have a whip behind their backs to remind them of their sense of proportion.
Today, Li Qinzai discovered that the seemingly well-behaved students in the Imperial College actually had quite a lot of problems, and in Li Qinzai's opinion, the problems in this group of students in the Imperial College were even more fatal. In the future, when they leave the school, whether they are academics or officials, they will
None of them will end well.
Li Qinzai felt that it was necessary to let the Imperial College students realize how cruel reality really was.
Reading is stupid, do you really think that knowledge can dominate everything?
Li Qinzai also knew how to make gunpowder, but he still knelt down and bowed his head obediently in front of Li Zhi.
The cloud board was beating rapidly, and the students came out of the house in confusion and stood in the courtyard looking at each other.
The little bastards who had just been whipped supported each other and trudged past Li Qinzai, casting resentful glances at him.
Li Qinzai was not used to them and stared: "What!"
The little bastards trembled in fright, shook their heads and laughed: "What?"
After kicking Li Sujie in the butt, Li Qinzai snorted: "I'm a coward!"
The students came to the middle of the courtyard and lined up in an array.
Li Qinzai stood in front of the array with a cold face, slowly looked around the crowd, and then said in a deep voice: "First of all, let me tell you something..."
Everyone stood and listened respectfully.
Pointing to the little bastards who had just been whipped, Li Qinzai said: "They bullied their classmates. They deserved to be punished, and they have been punished. I deserve it."
The little bastards were dejected, but they didn't show any signs of dissatisfaction. Although they were domineering on weekdays, they were also reasonable. They had indeed bullied their classmates and deserved to be whipped.
Li Qinzai glanced at the students in the Imperial College and said slowly: "Let me tell you another thing. The school is indeed a place for learning. Those who don't want to do learning can of course just hang around. As long as I can bear the consequences, I won't.
be opposed to……"
"This is a clean place. There is no status, no power, only the attitude of studying."
"However, the school not only teaches knowledge, but also teaches people how to behave. Although there is no status or power here, knowledge should not be used as a measure of status or used to ridicule others."
"The reason you have more knowledge is because your husband taught you lessons selflessly and because you are talented. But using the knowledge you have as a basis to ridicule people who are not as good as you is a matter of character."
"I can forgive stupidity, but I don't have good character. No matter how talented I am, I don't want to teach them. The more knowledge such people have, the greater the harm they will bring to the world. The gentleman who taught you knowledge will be implicated by you and can only become a sinner.
"
"The knowledge you have mastered is only the ability to establish yourself, not your arrogant capital."
The words were not mentioned by name, but the students of the Imperial College understood it, and they all had red faces and lowered their heads.
But the little bastards were confused and stood in the queue talking quietly.
"What did you say, sir? Are you scolding us?"
"It should be a curse, but it doesn't seem to be a curse on us..."
"It doesn't matter who he scolds. He's already been whipped. Being scolded is nothing."
"Why do I sound like I'm scolding those nerds in the Imperial College?"
"Really? Ha, God's eyes are open, it's finally the nerds' turn! I have to listen carefully."
On the other side of the array, the students from the Imperial College had ugly expressions and lowered their heads in silence. Li Qinzai glanced over coldly and found that many students were still unconvinced.
In their understanding, the school is a place for learning, and they can naturally judge heroes based on knowledge. Isn't there a naked chain of contempt between the top students and the bad ones?
No one thinks there is anything wrong with despising the scumbags, especially these dandies who rely on the influence of their ancestors and fathers. They have no ability, but they are just reincarnated well. Why can't they despise them?
Li Qinzai saw the emotions of the students and sighed secretly.
I really don't want to hit them too hard, but... I have to let them see clearly the cruelty of reality, otherwise this arrogance will really harm them for the rest of their lives.
After regaining his composure, Li Qinzai smiled: "It doesn't matter if you're not convinced, it doesn't matter if you don't agree with what I said. Everyone is here neatly today, why don't we play a game?"
Everyone looked at him inexplicably.
Li Qinzai said in a deep voice: "The courtyard of our school is spacious enough. Everyone faces me and lines up in a straight line."
The students arranged themselves accordingly.
Li Qinzai was silent for a moment, then drew a straight line with his foot in front of himself and said: "Look clearly, this line is the end of your life..."
"Listen to my instructions. Those whose ancestors or fathers in the family can read and understand a little bit about the meaning of the scriptures should take a step forward."
Most of the people took a step forward, and only a handful of people from the Imperial College stayed where they were.
"Those who have a well-to-do family, with land, property, and shops, should take a step forward." Li Qinzai continued.
This time, the dandies took a step forward one after another, but among the students of the Imperial College, only a few took a step forward, and most of them remained where they were.
"Those who are gifted and intelligent, have understood the meaning of scriptures since childhood, study more easily than their peers, and have a more solid grasp of knowledge, can take a step forward."
This time the dandies did not move, and the Imperial College students took a step forward proudly.
Li Qinzai glanced at their proud expressions and continued: "Those whose ancestors and fathers were officials in the court should take a step forward."
The dandies took a step forward one after another, but the students of the Imperial College did not move.
"Those who have ancestors and fathers in the family who have made meritorious service to the country and have been knighted by the emperor, given gold, land, food and towns, should take a step forward."
The dandies continued to step forward, but the Imperial College students still did not move.
"Those of you who have been given the title of unofficial official position by the emperor because of your ancestors' kindness and father's kindness since you were born, take a step forward."
The dandies continued to move forward.
At this moment, the students of the Imperial College finally understood what Li Qinzai wanted to express. Everyone's expressions changed drastically, their faces were pale, and they stared blankly at the dudes who had already surpassed them several steps.
Li Qinzai still said coldly: "Since you were young, your grandparents and fathers have planned your future for you, and they have effortlessly used their family's power and money to pave the way for your future. Take a step forward."
The dandies continued to take a step forward.
The students of the Imperial College became more and more distraught. Their eyes were distracted, their faces were pale, and their bodies standing there were trembling slightly.
Li Qinzai sighed lowly and continued: "When you reach adulthood, you can easily get an official position in the court without having to go through the scientific examination. Those who have no worries about food and clothing throughout their lives can take a step forward."
The dandies continued to take a step forward.
The end of life at the feet of Li Qinzai, the dandies are getting closer and closer, but the students of the Imperial College are still almost at the starting point.
The end point at your feet seems so far away that it would be difficult to reach it even with all your life's efforts.
Li Qinzai sighed and whispered: "Finally, those who feel that they can use the knowledge they have mastered throughout their lives to reach the finish line at my feet, please stand directly in front of me."
The Imperial College students were stunned. Suddenly, one of them squatted down, covered his face and burst into tears.
The cry infected all the students in the Imperial College, and many of them squatted down and cried bitterly.
