"I don't care how long it can exist, I just care about the process of solving problems when it encounters problems during construction!"
Fang Jun was understated and his language was leisurely.
Among the people present here, whether it is Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda or Yu Mingshi, who is not an old fox with extraordinary wit and wisdom?
But at this moment, everyone was stunned by Fang Jun's words and looked confused.
A huge project that took decades and cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but you told me that you don’t really care whether it will stand for hundreds of years, but only care about the process?
Kong Yingda was so angry that his beard stood up. He nodded at Fang Jun with trembling fingers. He turned to Fang Xuanling and shouted angrily: "Look, look at the good son you taught! The foundation of the empire and the people's livelihood are all important in his heart."
What? Ah? Fortunately, this old man has been working hard all night for this academy, not thinking about food or drink, racking his brains to figure out how to persuade His Majesty, the political affairs hall, the three provinces and six ministries, but he just treats it as a luxurious and expensive toy... Really
It makes me so angry!"
How can the old man not be angry?
He has been ups and downs in the officialdom all his life, but he deeply hates the strife and filth in the officialdom. He just wants to return home to teach and educate people, no longer need conspiracy and calculation, and no longer need to be dark and dirty. Unfortunately, how can everything go as planned in this life?
Being in a family, you have to be stuck in the quagmire of officialdom. Even if you are struggling, you still have to work for the welfare of your clan and open the eyes of scholars all over the world.
I thought that I would spend my whole life in squalor like this, contaminated by evil. After becoming an official, I devoted myself to teaching a few students and compiled two books. It can be said that this life has not been wasted, and I have a little thought when I close my eyes.
Think about it.
But who would have thought that such a huge academy would suddenly fall from the sky...
Even though Kong Yingda knew that this plan was a fantasy, he still had a sense of hope, because he knew that Fang Jun's ability to amass money was unparalleled in the world. As long as the financial resources to build the college could be maintained, the remaining difficulties would be huge.
, it’s not that there is no solution!
With such a small amount of hope, Kong Yingda returned to Beijing from the south of the Yangtze River. After entering Chang'an, he didn't even go home immediately. Instead, he went to Fang's mansion directly, hoping to learn something from Fang Jun that he had never known before.
What you learn can make this hope more likely to come true.
However, Fang Jun said that even if the academy is built, he doesn't care...
what is this?
So I'm making fun of you?
Since you don't care, why did you go all the way to send this manuscript to me?
Kong Yingda was furious.
It's the anger of being ignored by others even though something you regard as a treasure in your own eyes is so great!
Fang Xuanling was also speechless. She glared at her son and shouted, "How can you talk?"
If this college is really built, it will be enough to make all those who participated in the preparation and construction famous throughout the ages, and the name of Hongwen Jiaoyu will be famous for centuries. It is conceivable that such a college will cultivate thousands of talents from all walks of life, and when these
What a huge number will be passed down from generation to generation?
As a lesson to these students...then the world will be filled with peaches and plums!
Who can ignore it?
Even a person with an indifferent temperament like Fang Xuanling will inevitably have his heart swaying and his blood rising!
So to the three of them, Fang Jun's words... really deserved a beating.
Fang Jun was also helpless. He spread his hands and said: "As the saying goes, once the emperor has one minister, now that your majesty is determined to forge ahead and has the world in mind, he may support us in establishing this academy to cultivate various talents to fill the empire's ranks.
Various positions promote the continuation and development of Zhenguan's prosperous age. Although the prince may not have the ambitions of His Majesty, he is also a conservative king. But who knows what will happen in the future? When this college develops to a certain scale, it will become
A behemoth that can form its own system, for the emperor, if it is used for himself, it is a treasure in the mountains; if it is not beneficial to him... it is a volcano under the foundation of the empire!"
The sword has two edges. When this academy finally becomes its own system, countless officials in the world will come from it, and their influence will transcend all clans and factions and stand tall in the court!
After Shunyi Fang said this, the three of them fell into silence, their frustration palpable.
This is an inevitable result. Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda have been immersed in officialdom all their lives. Although Yu Ming is free from officialdom, he is not a wandering man far away from the world. His breadth of knowledge is definitely not inferior to that of Kong Yingda and Fang Xuanling. How?
Can’t see such an ending?
Yu Ming sighed sadly: "Classmates study hard, teach in the same discipline, face each other day and night, and share interests. After becoming officials, they will inevitably support and support each other. Therefore, calling yourself a faction is an irreversible outcome. This is common to all academies in the world.
Characteristics. If the academy were smaller, it would be a good story for students and teachers to support each other. However, if the academy was unparalleled in scale, half of the entire dynasty would be composed of academy disciples... No emperor in the past and present would allow such a situation to occur."
Fang Jun pursed his lips, but there was nothing he could do.
It seems that every time traveler has an obsession to enlighten the people's wisdom and educate the world. This obsession is even more profound than changing dynasties and building a big country! Because only time travelers know that history has inertia.
Changing dynasties cannot change history, plotting to usurp the throne cannot change history, not even guns and artillery can change history!
But education can!
Only by broadcasting education, opening up people's wisdom and promoting the development of natural science, can this nation fall into the whirlpool of power generation after generation in ignorance, repeating the tragedy of separation and reunification again and again, the destruction of one family, the rise and destruction of another.
What was ruined was the vitality of the entire nation.
After hearing Yu Ming's words, Kong Yingda said dejectedly: "This is an unsolvable situation. How can we allow others to sleep on the side of the bed? Every emperor must maintain absolute control over power. Once the academy rises, it must be eliminated, otherwise
If one family dominates and there is no one to check and balance it, the imperial power is in danger."
In fact, this is the situation before us. Why is His Majesty Li Er so obsessed with weakening powerful families and supporting poor families?
It is because the power of the powerful families has soared that even the emperor has to compromise with them. If things go on like this, the arrogant trend in history of the powerful families uniting to "build one country and destroy another" will surely reappear.
How could His Majesty Li Er, who was far-sighted, wise and mighty, allow his family members to become powerful and eventually force him to become the second Sui Yang Emperor?
Fang Jun was a junior, and there was no maid to support him, so he poured tea and water for the three of them himself, and then Kong Yingda said: "It's not an unsolvable situation."
Kong Yingda was stunned: "How to solve this?"
Fang Jun smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. Just build another college."
The reason why this is an unsolvable dead end is that once this college is built, it will inevitably provide countless talents to the court. Until the friendship and benefits of the same family prompt the officials who came from the college to protect each other and collude with the officials, and gradually become more powerful in the court.
It can be resisted and become a thorn in the emperor's heart.
The solution is actually simple, just build another college and compete with it.
The best way in the world lies in Yin and Yang.
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than balance...
Fang Xuanling glared at her son angrily and scolded: "Speak properly in front of the elders."
Just this one college would cost hundreds of millions of money and countless great scholars and decades of work to build another one?
Haha, the national strength will be exhausted and the whole country will collapse...
So Fang Jun is equivalent to saying nonsense, a dead end is still a dead end.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and the three old men were all thinking. Sometimes they were looking forward to the beautiful scenery of the world after the college was built, sometimes they were sighing at the insurmountable rules of the world, joy and depression, hope and disappointment, several emotions were intertwined and chaotic, and they came one after another.
It is very sad and full of melancholy.
Fang Junqi said: "Why don't you ask why this junior said he doesn't care how long the college will exist, but only cares about the process of building the college?"
All three of them were stunned. Fang Xuanling suddenly raised her hand and stared at her son: "Hide it, hide it! You just said that you don't care how long this academy will exist?"
Fang Jun was confused: "Yes, my son has said it several times..."
Kong Yingda and Yu Ming also reacted and said in unison: "What do you mean, can this college be built?"
Fang Jun was speechless...
Then he spread his hands and said: "If it can't be built, why did the juniors stay up late to draw the architectural drawings of the college, and why did they send this drawing to Master Confucius?"
stay up?
What you call staying up late means staying up for two nights?
However, no one cared about what he said. The three of them shouted in unison: "Since you are sure that this college can be built, why haven't you revealed the charter for so long and left me waiting to get angry?"
