"Seek common ground while reserving differences, tolerate and go hand in hand, and carry forward" Ouyang Zi said twelve words.

"Can there be inclusion, can there be innovation? Can there be common ground while reserving differences? Chen Ye continued to ask. A series of questions directly stumped Ouyang Zi, and now the Confucian doctrine is always to stay at learning the knowledge of predecessors, and several works have been studied and learned from the past, and not many people have innovated.

"Do you know where the next Confucianism is?" Ouyang Zi was disdainful of Chen Ye, and felt that Chen Ye would definitely not be able to go home, and he would only be embarrassed.

To know in the object, the object is then known, and those who want to be sincere in their intentions are first known; Enlightenment is in Gewu. Character and then know, know and then sincerity" Chen Ye replied word by word.

"Of course I know this," Ouyang Zi recited this passage like a stream.

"But no one does it, I am willing to try, student" Chen Ye's answer made Ouyang Zi see a glimmer of hope, he has studied Confucianism for so long, no one has practiced it, Chen Ye may be a hope for Confucianism in the future.

"I only ask Master to give me three years to prove myself, Master is the dean of the academy, to see if I am on the right path, and it can also make me lose my way," Chen Ye said his purpose.

"Then let's think about it" As soon as Chen Ye heard what his master said, he knew that what he said had moved Ouyang Zi, and now there was a drama.

After returning home, Chen Ye wrote down all his views and understandings of Gewu Zhizhi and personally sent them to Ouyang Zi's desk, Ouyang Zi had the habit of reading books before going to bed, and when he saw the letters left by Chen Ye, he felt that his Confucian knowledge opened up a wider world.

After a sleepless night, Ouyang Zi repeatedly read Chen Ye's letters, and his heart could not be calm for a long time, and now his opinion of Chen Ye has changed somewhat, and he feels that Chen Ye can inherit his mantle, and even Chen Ye can carry forward Confucianism and create an important Confucian thought.

"Daddy, you're so old, why don't you rest" Ouyang Yijie walked over, worried that his father was too old, so he still paid more attention to his body.

"I know, don't worry, you go back and rest " Ouyang Zi has been pondering, in fact, Chen Ye has not seen Ouyang Yijie for so many days. It was Ouyang Zi who deliberately didn't let Chen Ye see it, knowing that Chen Ye already had four wives in his family. Ouyang Zi didn't want to catch up with his daughter. Ouyang Zi is old and has a daughter, so naturally she is not a baby, so all the marriage proposal hints for so many years have been ignored by Ouyang Zi, just to protect her daughter.

Ouyang Yijie took the letter and was very surprised to see the content inside, "Daddy, no matter how rich and rich you are with these manuscripts, it will be no problem to start a sect."

After finishing speaking, looking at Ouyang Zi's blushing face, he guessed that this should not be written by his father.

"Daddy didn't write it, who wrote it, I guess? Ouyang Yijie pondered for a long time, counting some of the great Confucians in Zhongshan Kingdom, they should not have this ability.

Look at this handwriting is sloppy, calligraphy skills are not very good, is it him?

"Could it be Chen Ye? , it's unlikely" Ouyang Yijie's words hit Ouyang Zi's heart even more, he has indeed studied Confucianism all his life, looking at Chen Ye's summary of Gewu Zhizhi, he is still a little ashamed and has some comfort, ashamed that his disciple is too capable, and comforting is that his mantle is inherited.

Ouyang Zi nodded, and once again confirmed that it was written by Chen Ye.

"I thought that Chen Ye was just good at writing poems, but I didn't expect to be so proficient in Confucianism, congratulations to my father, I will definitely ask for advice when I have the opportunity" Ouyang Yijie's words made Ouyang Zi wake up.

"No, he's a pervert, too amorous and philistine, don't see him in the future" Ouyang Zi hurriedly said Chen Ye's shortcomings, but he didn't know that this aroused Ouyang Yijie's interest.

The next day, Chen Ye came to the house again and was directly invited to the study, where Ouyang Zi waited.

"I thought about it all night yesterday and can give you a chance, but I'll only give you a year," Ouyang Zi said.

"No problem" Chen Ye agreed, Chen Ye would not be afraid that Ouyang Zi would regret it after a year, but he was afraid that Ouyang Zi would never be able to leave the academy after a year.

"The matter of the academy teacher?"

"I know a few friends" Ouyang Zi knew that Chen Ye had no way to invite a teacher, so he simply let a few of his friends be teachers.

This matter can be solved, Chen Ye will start construction now, the academy is basically one floor, in line with the purpose of recruiting a group of students and building other courtyards, the academy began to roughly start first.

The construction of the college is very fast, and basically after a month or two, you can recruit a batch first. However, Chen Ye also plans to recruit some other teachers, such as Taoist priests to teach alchemy and chemistry, as well as weather prediction. Buddhism teaches Buddhist truth, religious studies. Chen Ye teaches mathematics, and there are also people who specialize in teaching Confucianism, unifying the translation and essay format, how to take exams, etc., and will ask the chief examiner in charge to come and talk about his experience every time. Let Song Ci teach biology, mainly the autopsy and criminal department case investigation and law. Even Chen Ye pulled a person who specialized in teaching foreign Chinese languages, including barbarian languages and culture. There is also a teacher who teaches martial arts, specializing in martial arts and battlefield matters.

Then there are some special courses, Chen Ye asked everyone to list the syllabus of their own teaching, four exams per semester, one but directly failed the course, and needed to be re-studied, and if there were too many courses, they would be dismissed directly. The requirements for students are very strict, and it is also to be able to cultivate talents.

The affairs of the academy are very busy now, mainly on the selection of teachers, as well as the discussion of the syllabus, every time it is a quarrel until midnight, and it is also the two sides who compromise and make concessions to each other, and finally it is decided.

Ouyang Zi has been paying attention to the teaching situation of the academy, and found that the subjects taught in Chen Ye's academy are too complicated, and many things have to be learned, and he feels that one person can't learn so many things.

"Is it that they have too much to learn, it is better to concentrate on one side" Ouyang Zi raised his doubts.

"The end of learning is interconnected, a person can not just learn one side, learn more knowledge, but think more comprehensively, will not drill the horns, will not become a master of the eye. I also plan to let the students learn how to farm the land to prevent the separation of grains. If a person can't even farm the land, how can he let the people below live a good life? ”

Chen Ye's words were very reasonable, Ouyang Zi still felt uncomfortable, and wanted to continue to stop it, but then he thought that Chen Ye was experimenting with some teaching methods, so he didn't say anything.

After the teaching matter is solved, the main enrollment will start immediately, Chen Ye began to recruit some adult people, and after chatting, he found that these adults are relatively fixed-minded, and their acceptance of new things is very low, which may lead to low efficiency.

So Chen Ye chose a child at about twelve years old, the child at this time has a strong receptivity, and it is also at a mature age, after all, some people are facing the age of marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and now there is no shortage of this labor force at home, if the child is too young, it will not produce results in a short time, and the first batch is free teaching, and the teaching time is boarding, that is, eating and drinking in the school, and it is not allowed to go home if there is nothing to do.

However, the effect of the first enrollment was not particularly obvious, and only a few poor children came in a few days after the notice was posted, but his father-in-law Du Jilong, in order to support himself, let all the children of his family be sent to the college, the effect was not very obvious, Chen Ye aimed at the countryside below the bottom, and said that he didn't need money to send his children to school, and he didn't need money to eat and drink. People in the countryside have sent their children to the academy, and the effect is still relatively good, more than 100 people have been enrolled in just a few days, but for the sake of effect, Chen Ye was directly divided into three classes, with more than 30 people in one class.

This kind of teaching effect is also the best, but all the school rules treat everyone equally, Chen Ye believes that after these children study here, even if they don't take exams, there is no problem in going out to find a job, after all, it is no problem to be an account clerk based on mathematics alone.
