"You don't want to teach me anything else?" Zhuge Liang asked puzzledly.
"It will take at least three years to learn these things, and it is enough. If you master these things, you can still do it." Chen Xi nodded, acquiescing to Zhuge Liang's words.
"We were talking about universal education before, why are we only teaching these?" Zhuge Liang asked with a sigh.
"Money and food are not enough!" Chen Xi spread his hands and said, "I am also a human being. Originally, universal education was carried out step by step. But in the end, Duke Xuande just wanted to build wherever he could, and I had no good solution."
When Chen Xi said this, it was obvious that he had some resentment in it. He found that Liu Bei used him as a little jingle. Although he had said before to give Liu Bei confidence, "No matter how big a thing is, it is a small thing. All small things are nothing."
!" Of course he did the same thing.
"But this is completely different from what you said before." Zhuge Liang said with a wry smile.
"I am just a guide, opening a door for them. At that time, it will be up to them to choose whether to continue studying or give up their studies and start supporting themselves." Chen Xi said calmly, "I can only give them opportunities, not
For them, the road ahead needs to be walked by themselves."
"Kong Ming, after learning these things, I will be about your age, or a little older than you, and you still have the right to borrow books from the academy to study on your own." Fazheng said calmly, "It depends on them whether they can seize the opportunity."
Zhuge Liang was speechless for a long time. Although the Zhuge family was in decline, he did not suffer hardship in his youth. It was very difficult to maintain excellence while supporting himself.
"If you are good enough and have such a chance, it is enough to take off." Chen Xi said calmly, "Although the opportunities I can give are slim, they are much better than the previous situation where the future was dark. As for those who are not enough
For those who are outstanding, the opportunities I have given them are enough for them to rely on their hands to feed, clothe and live well."
"But..." Zhuge Liang was interrupted by Fazheng as soon as he started speaking.
"Kong Ming, there's something wrong with the angle you're standing on." Fazheng said calmly, "Our task is to give them a chance. As for how far they can go, it's their own business. As for connections, parents, and family, they have nothing.
How they rise is none of our business."
"Kong Ming, actually you don't need to be so fair. Everything in this world is relative. The blessings of the fathers bless the descendants. No matter how you don't like it, you must admit that this is what it should be." Chen Xi said calmly.
, "And if you don't have these, then come up with other things that are enough to prove you. If you can't come up with it, don't blame others."
"Yes, that's it. Our ancestors fought through thorns and thorns, and they had nothing at that time. They built a huge family from the cracks. If they are really amazing and talented, don't say anything else! I, Fa Xiaozhi, did not rely on the power of the Legalists and came here alone.
Taishan has come this far without any external help!" Fazheng said with a sneer.
Zhuge Liang was speechless. Fazheng was qualified to say this. He was valued by Liu Bei, Chen Xi, and Guo Jia. He did not rely on external things, but relied on his own ability to be able to sit in the position under the age of eighteen.
Sitting in the position of the county guard makes people feel convinced because of his ability!
"I won't mention this matter again, but I hope that if there is an assessment, the assessment for ordinary students will be relaxed." Zhuge Liang thought for a while before speaking.
"I don't recommend this. Although this can indeed give students from civilian backgrounds a slightly greater advantage, the aristocratic family will not collapse for thousands of years." Chen Xi said calmly.
"The pride of genius is more important than the temporary rise and fall." Fazheng took over and said, "If the official does this, the common people will be finished, and they will never be able to surpass the children of the aristocratic family."
"..." Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xi, he was not sure whether what Fazheng said was true.
"It's true. There will be no good end for what you did. Common people are definitely no match for the children of aristocratic families in the beginning. If they are still tested separately, they will lose their morale over time." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Too much prestige is gained.
If so, I’m afraid even if you are extremely talented and beautiful, you won’t be able to have the courage to surpass the opponent.”
Zhuge Liang lowered his head and meditated, and gained a little bit. Just when he was about to speak, he saw Chen Xi saying, "Why were the Xiongnu in the early Han Dynasty able to fight one against ten, and why in the later period they couldn't even fight ten against one?"
"It's the momentum. In the early Han Dynasty, the Huns had accumulated power over the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. Although the treasury in the early Han Dynasty was strong, they were overwhelmed by the momentum. They had no determination to win. It can only be said that they were forced to fight." Chen Xi said calmly.
said.
"Then the Han Dynasty bucked the trend and reached its peak. The bloody battles left an invincible mark on the Xiongnu. Naturally, the original strength of 10% was not even 10%, and it has been difficult to recover since then." Chen Xi said indifferently.
There was a slight fluctuation in his expression. It was so difficult to go against the trend!
"Do you know? Why is it that there are wars all over the Han Dynasty, but no one from the barbarians dares to invade? They still offer sacrifices on time, not because they are not strong enough, but because they have accumulated power for a long time! They don't have the guts to come in, Tan
Shihuai's Xianbei is extremely powerful, but they still dare not enter the mainland, this is how powerful they are in the world." There was a rare hint of enthusiasm in Chen Xi's expression, what a strong man!
"How much better are the White Horse Yicong, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry than the Huns, Qiang, and Xianbei? Those who can become cavalry are the strongest among them, and they themselves are a nation on horseback. So why
A five-on-one foreign cavalry can't defeat them? Is it the equipment? Except for the elite, the Xiliang cavalry don't even have leather armor, but they have no pressure against the Qiang people one-on-five!" Chen Xi said with a sneer.
Zhuge Liang and Fazheng thought about this silently, and in the end they could only sigh. These are all facts. The equipment of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is on the same level as that of the Qiang people, and they have similar food, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is completely incapable of defeating the Qiang Cavalry.
pressure.
"This is the momentum. Today's Han people have absolute confidence in any foreign race. The confidence in their bones makes them not afraid of any foreign race. Therefore, when they fight with foreigners, they are like tigers descending from the mountain, while foreigners are just the opposite. This is the three hundred years of forging
National confidence!" Chen Xi said solemnly.
Fazheng touched his beard and spoke after a long time, "Put aside the aristocratic family and common people. It doesn't matter if there are fewer common people in the beginning. What I'm interested in now is what you said, Zichuan. What do you mean?
Are you saying that Xianbei is also hoarding the resources to buck the trend?"
A cold light flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes, but he didn't say anything. If Chen Xi combines the upper and lower forces, he may not be able to win if he goes with the trend, and he may not lose if he goes against the trend. It's just that it's extremely difficult!
