Chapter 1380: An Academy Doomed to Destruction
"I don't care how long it lasts, I just care about the process of solving problems and problems during construction!"
Fang Jun understated and said leisurely.
Those present, whether it is Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda or Yu Ming, which one is not a wise and well-informed old fox?
But at this moment, everyone was shocked by Fang Jun's words, and they were dumbfounded.
A huge project that took decades and cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but you told me that you don't care too much about whether it will stand for a hundred years and thousands of years, but only care about the process?
Kong Yingda was so angry that his beard curled, his fingers trembled and nodded at Fang Jun, and he turned his head to Fang Xuanling and sprayed angrily: "Look, look at the good son you taught!" The foundation of the empire and the livelihood of the people, what is it in his heart? Yes? It's a shame that the old man can't sleep all night for this academy, he doesn't think about tea and dinner, racking his brains to think about how to persuade His Majesty, persuade the political affairs hall, and persuade the three provinces and six departments, but he just treats it as a luxurious and expensive toy...... It's really annoying to me! ”
How can the old man not be angry?
has been up and down in officialdom all his life, but he is deeply disgusted with the corruption of officialdom, and only thinks about returning to his hometown to teach and educate people one day, no longer have to conspire and calculate, and no longer have to be dark and dirty. It's a pity that life is alive, how can everything go well?
In the family, you have to be mired in the quagmire of officialdom, even if you are struggling, you have to seek the well-being of the clan and the world's scholars.
I thought that I would spend my life in filth like this, and I was contaminated with a bad obstacle, but after Zhishi, I tried my best to teach a few students and compile two books, which can be regarded as a lifetime that has not been wasted, and there is a little thought when I close my eyes.
But who would have thought that all of a sudden, such a big academy would fall from the sky......
Even though Kong Yingda knew that this plan was fantastical, he also had a hint of longing, because he knew that Fang Jun's wealth collection power was the best in the world, and it was not an exaggeration to say that as long as the financial resources of the construction academy could be maintained, no matter how huge the rest of the difficulties were, it was not impossible to solve them!
With such a little hope, Kong Yingda returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, and after stepping into Chang'an, he didn't even go home as soon as possible, but came to Fangfu by himself, hoping to learn something from Fang Jun's mouth that he had never known, which could make this hope more likely to become a reality.
However, Fang Jun said that even if this academy was built, he didn't care......
What is this?
That Lao Tzu is shabu-shabu?
Since you don't care, why did you go all the way to send this artwork to Lao Tzu?
Kong Yingda was furious.
It's the kind of anger that you look up to as a treasure but are dismissed by others!
Fang Xuanling was also speechless, glared at his son, and shouted, "How can you speak?" ”
If this academy is really built, it will be enough to make all the people involved in the preparation and construction famous for eternity, and the name of Hongwen and teachings will be remembered for centuries. It is conceivable that such an academy will produce thousands of talents from all walks of life, and when these people are passed down from generation to generation, what a huge number will it be?
As an instruction to these students...... That's really the peach and plum all over the world!
Who can not take it seriously?
Even if you have an indifferent temperament like Fang Xuanling, you can't avoid swaying your heart and blood!
So Fang Jun's words sounded to the three of them...... It is indeed underwhelming.
Fang Jun was also helpless, spread his hands, and said: "The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, now that Your Majesty is determined to forge ahead and have the world in mind, he may support us in establishing this academy to cultivate all kinds of talents to fill all positions in the empire and promote the continuation and development of the prosperous era of Zhenguan." Although the crown prince may not have the ambition of His Majesty, he is also a king. But who knows what will happen in the future? When this academy develops to a certain scale, it will become a behemoth that is enough to stand on its own, and for the emperor, it is a treasure in the mountains to use it for himself, if it is not good for himself...... It's a volcano beneath the foundations of an empire! ”
The sword has two edges, and when this academy finally becomes its own system, there will be countless officials in the world, and its influence will surpass all the gates and factions, and stand above the court!
After Fang Junyi said, the three of them were suddenly silent, and their frustration was beyond words.
This is an inevitable result, Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda have been immersed in officialdom all their lives, although Yu Ming's is free from officialdom, but they are not idle clouds and wild cranes far away from the red world, and their breadth of knowledge is definitely not under Kong Yingda and Fang Xuanling, how can you not see such an ending?
Yu Mingshi sighed gloomily: "Classmates study hard, teach in the same school, face each other day and night, and their interests are connected, and after entering the office, they will inevitably support and support each other, so claiming to be a faction is an irreversible end, which is the common feature of all academies in the world." If the scale of the academy is smaller, it is a good story for the students to support each other, but if the scale of the academy is unique in the world, half of the people in the dynasty are all the children of the academy...... No emperor in the past would have allowed such a situation to occur. ”
Fang Jun pursed his lips, but there was nothing he could do.
It seems that every traverser has a group of obsessions to open up the wisdom of the people and teach the world, and even this obsession is deeper into the bone marrow than the change of dynasty and the laying of a big country! Because only those who travel through know that history has inertia, changing dynasties cannot change history, seeking to usurp the throne cannot change history, and even muskets and artillery cannot change history!
But education can!
Only by broadcasting education, opening up the wisdom of the people, and promoting the development of natural science can this nation fall into the whirlpool of power from generation to generation in ignorance, repeating the tragedy of division and merger again and again, destroying one family and prospering, and burying the vitality of the entire nation between rise and destruction.
Hearing Yu Ming's words, Kong Yingda said gloomily: "This is an insoluble situation, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch?" Every emperor must maintain absolute control over power, and once the academy rises, it is the object that must be cut off, otherwise the family will be dominated by no one to check and balance, and the imperial power will be in danger. ”
In fact, the situation in front of him is like this, why does His Majesty Li Er want to weaken the gate valve to support the cold door?
It is because the power of the gate valve has skyrocketed to the point that even the emperor has to compromise with it, and in the long run, it will surely reproduce the arrogant situation of the gate valve family in history uniting to "rejuvenate a country and destroy a country".
His Majesty Li Er is far-sighted and wise, how could he let the gate valve sit big, and finally force him to become the second Emperor Yang of Sui?
Fang Jun is a junior, and there is no maid to support him, so he personally poured tea and water for the three of them, and then Kong Yingda said: "It's not an unsolvable situation. ”
Kong Yingda was stunned: "How to solve this?" ”
Fang Jun smiled: "Actually, it's very simple, just build another academy." ”
The reason why it is an unsolvable death situation is that once this academy is completed, it will inevitably send countless talents to the imperial court, until the friendship and benefits of the same door prompt the officials from the academy to collude with each other and protect each other, and gradually sit in the court and become irresistible, becoming a thorn in the emperor's heart.
The solution is actually simple, just build another academy and compete with each other.
The way in the world lies in yin and yang.
To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than the word balance......
Fang Xuanling glared at his son angrily and reprimanded: "In front of the elders, speak well." ”
This academy alone will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and countless Confucian scholars for decades to build another one?
Hehe, it will exhaust the national strength and the whole country will fall into decline......
So Fang Jun is equivalent to saying a 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 about it, looking forward to the beautiful scenery of the world after the completion of the college, and sighing at the insurmountability of the rules of the world, joy and depression, hope and disappointment, several emotions were intertwined and chaotic, one after another, which made people sigh and be full of melancholy.
Fang Junqi said: "Why don't you ask, why do the juniors say that they don't care about how long the academy will exist, but only care about the process of building the academy?" ”
The three of them were all stunned, Fang Xuanling suddenly raised his hand and stared at his son: "Hide it!" You just said that you don't care how long this academy will be around? ”
Fang Jun was at a loss: "Yes, my son has said it several times......"
Kong Yingda and Yu Mingshi also reacted, and said in unison: "What do you mean, this academy can be built?" ”
Fang Jun was speechless......
Then he spread his hands: "If it can't be built, why do the younger generations stay up all night to draw the architectural sketches of the college, and why do they send this sketch to Master Confucius?" ”
Stay up late?
What do you mean by staying up late is staying up for two nights?
However, no one cared about his statement, and the three of them shouted in unison: "Since we believe in our hearts that this academy can be built, why don't you say the charter for a long time, and let us be in a hurry?" ”
