Beijing, Yibeifang, the Beijing branch of the Global Academy is located here.

The great turmoil in the officialdom of the capital continues, but the Beijing branch of the Global Academy here is ready to open tomorrow.

Enabled, not to start school, but to train teachers.

Why Train Teachers?

Because the teaching plan of the Global Academy is completely different from that of the private school outside and the Guozijian, even the language and writing will be different.

Text, the current Ming Dynasty is all traditional characters, but traditional characters are too difficult to write, which will greatly increase the difficulty of popularization.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, and for his own habits, Li Zhaotong is preparing to implement simplified Chinese characters in the Global Academy.

Anyway, he was not prepared to let the students of the Universal Academy participate in the imperial examination.

Simplified Chinese characters have always existed, but they are not as simplified as hundreds of years later, so if Global Academy wants to implement simplified characters, it must first train teachers.

The language, of course, is the Chinese used by Global Academy, but this pronunciation must be changed!

Because the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty is very cheating, it uses Hongwu Zhengyun, which is a kind of rhyme with Zhu Yuanzhang's love family characteristics, which is integrated into the rhyme of the southern dialect, which is very different from the Yayin of the Central Plains.

The tone is really weird, a bit similar to the southwestern official dialect of later generations, which is extremely niche.

Anyway, it can be summed up as a cheat!

Ordinary people will feel awkward when they use this Hongwu rhyme to recite poems, because they don't rhyme at all.

Even, because of this Hongwu Zhengyun, hundreds of years later, some people still think that the official language of the earlier Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty is completely different from that of later generations.

But I don't want to think about it, if they are completely different, how can Tang poems and Song poems still rhyme in later generations?

Basically, few people will like this Hongwu Zhengyun.

Therefore, from Zhu Yuanzhang's implementation of this Hongwu Zhengyun to the current eleventh year of Hongzhi, more than 100 years have been experienced in the middle, and as a result, there are only some readers in Liangjing who can say this Hongwu Zhengyun, and it has not been promoted at all.

It's too niche!

Then the result of the official language being too niche is:

Officials in Beijing sometimes have ...... because one is from the southwest and the other is from the south of the Yangtze River, and then the two of them do not do well in learning the official language It was actually difficult for the two to communicate!

Pit!

In a unified dynasty, there is even a problem with the exchange of officials with each other!

Li Zhaotong also doesn't like this pit father's Hong Wu Zhengyun.

Therefore, Universal Academy will no longer teach Hongwu Zhengyun, and what Global Academy will teach in the future will be Mandarin based on Jingshi Yin!

Whether this is not far from the previous Central Plains Yayin, but it is simpler, or from the experience of later generations, it shows that it is popular and is very conducive to promotion!

It's also very much in line with Li Zhaotong's habits!

Therefore, Global Academy also needs to train its recruited teachers in Mandarin.

"Brother Shi, this is the Global Academy that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince organized?"

After having lunch at the Li Mansion, Wang Shouren, who was full of wine and food, came to the branch of Yibeifang Global Academy with Li Zhaotong.

Zhu Houzhao, who was not interested in reading, did not follow.

"Hmm."

Li Zhaotong nodded:

"The head of the Universal Academy is Your Majesty, the main courtyard is set up around the triangle lake next to Tianjin Wei and around the Wengshan West Lake outside the city, here is the branch, and it will start to open tomorrow, I don't know if you would like to come here to be a branch president?"

"Your Majesty is the head of the mountain?"

Wang Shouren was very stunned, and at the same time he also flinched:

"No, Your Majesty's Global Academy as the head of the mountain must be unusual, how can I be the dean of this branch, I am not qualified enough, it is almost the same to let my father come."

"Haha!"

Li Zhaotong smiled heartily:

"Lao Wang, this will mainly teach some enlightenment knowledge here in the future, and you let Mr. Longshan come, isn't this belittling him?"

"Uh......"

Wang Shouren is embarrassed, this is indeed ......

It's not that his father Wang Hua can't teach people enlightenment, it's just that now his father personally teaches the science of enlightenment is the current prince Zhu Houzhao, the only one.

It would be inappropriate to let him teach others enlightenment now.

"How? Wang, are you interested in my Global Academy? The philosophy of our Global Academy is to unite knowledge and action, and to help the people through the world! ”

Li Zhaotong invited Wang Shouren again and seduced him.

Li Zhaotong has a plan in his heart:

Wang Shouren was successful in Zhejiang as early as the fifth year of Hongzhi, but after that, he fell twice in a row.

However, these two falls did not hit Wang Shouren, he was not discouraged, he was confident that he had enough knowledge, and he believed that he would be able to enter the department sooner or later.

Therefore, Wang Shouren really didn't spend much time preparing for the imperial examination, and he spent more time on enlightenment.

Enlightenment, enlightenment?

Realize the way of unity of knowledge and action.

Therefore, Li Zhaotong deliberately said the four words of the unity of knowledge and action to tempt Wang Shouren!

Li Zhaotong believes that these four words are very tempting to Wang Shouren!

And it is.

As soon as Wang Shouren heard this, he felt that his own way might be on these four words!

But how exactly, he didn't understand for a while.

He needs to know more about Universal Academy!

Therefore, Wang Shouren was tempted by Li Zhaotong's success, and he readily agreed to take over the position of dean of the Jingshi Branch of the Global Academy.

He plans to enter this Universal Academy to see what this unity of knowledge and action is all about, and whether he can poke open the last layer of window paper in this Universal Academy!

……

After Wang Shouren agreed, Li Zhaotong told Wang Shouren about the general situation and work of the Beijing branch of the Global Academy, mentioned simplified Chinese characters and Mandarin, and told him that he would also come to participate in the induction training tomorrow.

Wang Shouren's eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes were full of disbelief:

"Brother Shi, what Global Academy will teach in the future is simplified Chinese characters, and your redefined pronunciation - Mandarin?"

"Well, our Global Academy will have its own system, and all students will basically not participate in the imperial examination.

After learning the knowledge, after passing the exam, our Global Academy will arrange employment to ensure the life of the graduates.

Therefore, whether the text is simplified or traditional is of little significance to Global Academy, and as for the rhyme, don't you think Hongwu Zhengyun is very unconventional? ”

"That's ......"

Wang Shouren nodded, he is not a corrupt Confucian, he knows very well that if the students of the Global Academy do not participate in the imperial examination, there is indeed no need to dwell on the problem of simplified Chinese characters and pronunciation, but he still has a problem:

"I know arithmetic and medicine, but what is this knowledge of physics and biochemistry?"

"Heaven and earth work wisely!

For example, why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, why it rains, why people eat, why iron rusts, why crops produce fruit, why ships do not sink into the water, and so on.

Physics, biochemistry and other knowledge are studied in these ways! Li Zhaotong replied sonorously and forcefully.

"Is this the unity of knowledge and action?"

Wang Shouren muttered, his wisdom is really high, Li Zhaotong said this, he immediately realized:

Only by thoroughly studying these truths can we do a good job!

Wang Shouren thought a lot at once, for example, if he knew why it rained, wouldn't it be effective in preventing floods?

Thinking about it, Wang Shouren's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that he was very close to piercing that layer of window paper!

Li Zhaotong could see that Wang Shouren was having an epiphany, but he didn't know that Wang Shouren's enlightenment was very different from Wang Shouren's enlightenment in "memory", but Li Zhaotong would be very relieved to know it!

Because the science of mind is an idealist doctrine after all, and science, that is a materialist doctrine!

The unity of knowledge and action, originally without the variable of Li Zhaotong, what Wang Shouren realized, that is, the unity of psychology, that is: we have a conscience in our hearts, and those who have a true and bright conscience must take action and be able to present heavenly principles.

It's fantastical!

And now Wang Shouren's realization of the unity of knowledge and action is to know the truth of the operation of heaven and earth, and then apply it to action to help the people through the world.

It's realistic!

One focuses on empty talk, the other on practical work.

Empty talk misleads the country, but hard work prospers the country!

Compare the two, and make a judgment!
