Chapter 2792 Prince Li Chengqian, who has matured rapidly
Seeing Cheng Sanlang's talk, which was obviously a carefully considered speech, all the important civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty fell silent.
Although some people think that Cheng Sanlang seems to be a bit exaggerated, but recalling the new things they saw in Cheng University today.
It really covers everyone’s basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation. Many things are beneficial to the country and the people.
Li Shimin stroked his three long strands of beard and glanced at the ministers. Before he could speak, the prince beside him, Li Chengqian, already spoke solemnly.
"Father, I remember the 42nd chapter of "Book of Rites", which is called "The Great Learning". I tried to read it, but there are many things I don't understand. Now I have a little understanding of Cheng's University..."
Seeing this, all the ministers looked at the relatively reserved Prince in astonishment.
Li Shimin looked at his son, then glanced at Cheng Chubi next to him, and smiled gently.
"Since the prince has his own experience, he will share it with all the ministers, and I will also listen to it."
Cheng Chubi on the side also had a serious expression. After all, Cheng's University was where his hard work was concentrated.
Prince Li Chengqian stood up for himself and used very official language. Needless to say, he wanted to formally characterize and define Cheng University.
The Crown Prince, who had an extremely good memory, cleared his throat and glanced at a group of important civil and military ministers with an expressionless expression.
"The way of a great university is to be clear about virtue, to be close to the people, and to stop at perfection. After knowing the stop, there will be concentration.
Once you are calm, you can be still; if you are still, you can be at peace; after you are at peace, you can think about it; after you think about it, you can gain something. Things have their beginnings and ends, and things have their beginnings and endings. If you know the order of things, you will be able to take the shortcut..."
I heard a group of gentlemen who had read poetry and books shaking their heads frequently, but these hanging bag things were not very friendly to military officials.
Cheng Sanlang, who was well versed in both literature and martial arts, also had no idea what he was hearing. He clearly felt like he understood, but he didn't seem to understand everything.
However, Li Chengqian seemed to have noticed that some of these listeners were rough gentlemen with low levels of education.
#####
He soon used a more understandable language to explain the way of university, and combined it with everything he saw at Cheng University.
It can be said to be a very typical combination of practice and theory, and it allowed Cheng Sanlang to understand what the Crown Prince wanted to express.
University: In ancient times, it had two meanings: "erudite" state; "adult learning" which is opposite to "elementary school".
Children in ancient times went to primary school at the age of eight and mainly learned cultural lessons and basic etiquette such as "sweeping, responding, advancing and retreating, etiquette, music, shooting and numbers".
After the age of fifteen, you can enter university and begin to study ethics, politics, philosophy and other subjects such as "pursuing principles and rectifying one's mind, cultivating oneself and governing others".
But in the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince, Cheng Sanlang's approach was more in line with the meaning of erudition.
After all, whether it is working as an official, engaged in construction, making machinery, or weaving more beautiful and high-end fabrics.
Or how to increase the grain output of the Tang Dynasty. Each of these subjects requires a lot of study to master.
And within Cheng University, the professional systems are like roads, leading the young talents of the Tang Dynasty to higher levels in various systems.
So, doesn’t Cheng’s University represent the meaning of erudition? As long as you are willing to learn something, Cheng’s University can meet your needs.
Moreover, every professional system serves Datang.
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was shocked in his heart. Even though he had a deep understanding of what he saw and heard today, it was not as clear as what Li Chengqian stated.
This made Li Shimin feel very relieved that the prince had really grown up and had his own judgment.
It seems that these days of watching the government are indeed not in vain.
And he is also able to express his ideas fluently and without being afraid of the situation in front of civil and military officials.
This made Li Shimin seem to see the young lion gradually growing up and beginning to roar towards the vast world to prove his existence.
And Cheng Chubi really felt like he was looking at each other with admiration after seeing each other for three days. He really didn't expect that the prince who had taken off his clothes and had flesh could express himself so successfully.
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Fang Xuanling was the first to stand up, bowed respectfully to Li Chengqian, and smiled with admiration on his face.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince examines the present and understands the past, and has a unique interpretation of the 'erudite' view of the university. It also enlightens the old ministers, and they realize that Cheng's University recruits students widely, teaches and educates talents..."
After Fang Xuanling praised him like this, all the civil and military ministers of the Tang Dynasty were naturally unwilling to be outdone and echoed his words one after another.
Li Shimin on the side smiled happily, patted Cheng Sanlang on the shoulder with his big hand, and said in a deep voice.
"The university of Xianxiu is well built and the teaching is better. Our official school of the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to the Four Books and Five Classics, principles and principles, self-cultivation and governance of others.
But he did not do anything to cultivate talents for various industries in the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, he has a virtuous son-in-law."
"From today on, like other schools in the Tang Dynasty, the president of Cheng University will grant him the official position of academic integrity, and also give him a thousand catties of gold and fifty acres of fertile land to support the university's students."
"Next year, I have decided to increase the number of scholars from all subjects except Jinshi, Xiucai, and Mingjing..."
#####
In the end, Li Shimin left Cheng University with a group of civil and military officials satisfied.
As for Cheng Sanlang's group of bad friends, they stayed in the school with Cheng Sanlang and had a delicious pig-killing feast.
After His Majesty's arrangement, Cheng's University is still not under the management of the Imperial College, but it has also been certified by the Emperor.
This represents the imperial court's recognition and praise for those technical officials who have learned various trades.
Likewise, all the teachers and students in Cheng University were also very excited. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty led the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to inspect the school, and they also greatly affirmed the teaching work.
For a group of poor people who have accepted the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism since childhood, this is definitely a very exciting experience.
There were even some students who, after sending His Majesty and his entourage away respectfully, rushed back to their houses and wrote letters home, making sure to tell their families such great news.
And while there was a crowd of friends eating and drinking, Li Dejiang came up to Cheng Sanlang and kept asking about the fairy basket.
Faced with the inquiry from his old brother, Cheng Sanlang naturally did not hide his secrets, and proudly showed off the various functions of the thing. And since this thing was developed, it would naturally be used by the Han and Tang Dynasty merchants' own fleet of ships.
Whole up.
After all, with such a good treasure, the safety factor and exploration range of the ships of the Han and Tang Dynasties trading houses will be greatly improved when engaging in ocean trade.
