Song Yang is reflecting on himself, which can be regarded as a cognitive reflection.
He accepted some ideas and concepts from his heart that he originally didn't want to accept.
In the morning, Yu Ming told him about the crisis situation last night.
Wang Hai also learned about Wang Hai's diving with a sandbag against the wall from the mouths of the people.
Song Yang admired Wang Hai's actions very much.
In the morning, Wang Hai fell ill because of the rain last night and overwork.
Song Yang stood at the head of the bed. Wang Hai wanted to get up to greet him, but he held him down.
"You take good care of yourself. I am here to see you. As long as you are fine."
"Your Majesty! I'm lucky that the embankment has been saved!"
Wang Hai's first sentence was this.
Although he was extremely weak, he still thought about the embankment in his heart.
Song Yang sighed in his heart when he heard this.
There was admiration and some understanding on his face.
He patted Wang Hai on the shoulder and said: "Well done! The Yamen still needs you to recover from illness."
Back at the Shuiyun Yamen, Song Yang was thinking.
He originally hated Confucianism extremely.
In particular, Zhao Wenbin's defection left a very bad impression in Song Yang's mind.
So much so that almost all Confucians were labeled as rotten Confucians by him.
It wasn't until Liu Min's appearance that Song Yang slightly changed his view on Confucianism.
But other Confucian people are indeed not easy to mix with in Jiangzhou.
In addition to Fang Zhe, Qiao Jinglong and other literati who have followed Song Yang to fight against natural disasters from the beginning and have relatively advanced ideas.
Confucian scholars like Wang Hai who were appointed later were actually not reused.
What they do is the most basic work, and they have been doing it for more than three years.
During this flood, Wang Hai taught Song Yang a lesson.
There is nothing wrong with Confucianism. Not only is there Zhao Wenbin who lives an ignoble life, but there is also Wang Hai who sacrifices his life for righteousness.
There is no difference in knowledge, but the problem mainly depends on the person.
There are wise men in Confucianism, and there are wise men in Confucianism.
Although there are indeed many people like Zhao Wenbin, this cannot conceal the fact that Confucianism has certain merits.
Song Yang originally wanted to go away from Confucianism and felt that they were useless.
But now it seems that this idea needs to be changed.
…
Fang Zhe was on duty today, so Yu Ming took a break and went to rest.
As the first flood peak has passed, the water surface gradually stabilizes.
Song Yang went to Fang Zhe and brought up matters regarding the appointment, removal, promotion and evaluation of officials in Jiangzhou.
Song Yang's original plan was to implement a public examination system.
However, due to insufficient education, there are still not many people who can write and calculate.
Educational standards cannot keep up, and public examinations have never been implemented.
But this has always existed, and the plan has always been there.
As long as Jiangzhou's cultural level improves, the public examination system can be rolled out.
The purpose of Song Yang's meeting with Fang Zhe this time was to include some of the more advanced parts of Confucianism in the public examination.
"Your Majesty is not against Confucianism..."
Fang Zhe was stopped by Song Yang as soon as he arrived. He hadn't heard about Wang Hai's incident yesterday.
When Song Yang told Wang Hai about fighting the flood, Fang Zhe was also in awe.
"Wang Hai is also very dedicated in his daily work. I didn't expect that he could also sacrifice himself for others during flood fighting and rescue operations!"
Fang Zhe recalled Wang Hai's performance over the years and was very satisfied with him.
But because Song Yang’s policy towards Confucianism was suppressive.
Therefore, before the natural disaster, few scholars who had no official status were promoted vigorously.
So Wang Hai has been working at the grassroots level for more than two years.
Going back one year, I also taught reading and literacy in school for one year.
"After what happened to Wang Hai, I think that talents themselves are still human beings. As long as they are talented and capable, whether they are Confucian or Mohist, they should be promoted and reused."
"I have been reflecting on this matter this morning, so I came to you to discuss it."
After listening to Song Yang's words, Fang Zhe stood up and clasped his fists and said, "I admire the prince's wisdom."
"It is truly a great blessing in the world for your prince to be able to reflect on himself!"
Fang Zhe took a photo first and then said: "Your Majesty. In fact, Xiaguan is also a Confucian, and he also took the imperial examination route."
"Lao Qiao, Lao Liu, Zhang Heng, Wang Ran, they are all from serious Confucian backgrounds."
Fang Zhe talked a lot, and his meaning was almost the same as Song Yang's, so he could only judge people rather than schools.
Song Yang also deeply agreed.
Finally, the two of them discussed and decided to include some Confucian content in future public examinations.
As for the specific content, Song Yang didn't understand Confucianism, so he left the matter to Fang Zhe.
Let him discuss it with Liu Min and Gao Liangping.
Liu Min was a great Confucian and had no problems with his knowledge.
Gao Liangping also came from a Confucian school, and because he held a high position, he was very experienced in controlling the hearts and minds of officials.
"Yes! When the matter of fighting against the flood is over, I will go to Grand Master Gao and Master Liu for advice."
Fang Zhe nodded, with a happy look on his face.
He came from Confucianism. If Confucianism was discontinued from Song Yang, Fang Zhe would naturally have regrets and unwillingness in his heart.
Now that Song Yang is self-reflecting and changing himself, Confucianism has seen hope again.
certainly.
Song Yang finally told Fang Zhe that there is no need to consider things that are too conservative and ancient.
When it comes to learning, you have to pick the best from the rough!
Fang Zhe went to inspect the dam.
Song Yang also stayed up all night yesterday.
Lying on the couch, he vaguely remembered his student days.
Many Confucian classics such as "Book of Changes", "Book of Changes", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Zuo Zhuan", and "Spring and Autumn" are reflected in the textbooks.
At that time, Confucianism was still praised, but I once wanted to completely kill Confucianism.
Although there was no burning of books to embarrass Confucianism, the suppression of Confucianism was also great.
My thoughts kept wandering, sometimes it was "The Debate on Cao GUI" and sometimes it was "Pleading for Sin".
The textbooks in my mind are becoming more and more detailed.
Song Yang vaguely thought that Jiangzhou's textbooks should also be updated.
The textbooks used in Jiangzhou now are still the original and simplest ones he compiled back then.
In fact, it should have been revised a long time ago, but I have been busy with political affairs in the past few years, so I forgot about it.
"The teaching materials need to be re-edited and the content needs to be carefully considered."
"Confucianism needs to be added, but the mainstream thought still needs to be on natural science."
"The importance of ideological and moral courses should be increased, and people like Zhao Wenbin should not appear again."
"By the way, the illustrations must be beautiful! There must be no Wu children!"
Song Yang was in a trance, and the image of Wu's children appeared in his mind, which shocked him.
"Your Majesty, the second flood peak is coming!"
Song Yang woke up with a start. It was already the beginning of the afternoon.
Before I knew it, I slept all day long.
Song Yang gave the order to die. When the second flood peak comes, he must be woken up no matter how deep he sleeps.
The guard did not dare to delay. After receiving the notice, he immediately came over to call Song Yang.
Song Yang got out of bed and went straight out of the Shuiyun Yamen.
By this time, the sky had cleared up and the rain had stopped, but the floods showed no sign of receding.
