Chapter 194: Building a School

Lu Bu scratched his head and said, "Teacher, I want to build a school!"

"Start a school?" Cai Yong didn't react for a while, thinking that he had misheard.

Lu Bu nodded, looked at Cai Yong seriously, and said very solemnly: "Teacher, in fact, this idea has been in my mind for a long time, I want to build a school, but this school is different from the current academy form of Yingchuan Academy. ”

Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu's serious eyes, and he was not joking at the moment, he sat down on the spot, and also motioned for Lu Bu to sit down.

Only then did he continue to ask: "Then tell me, what is different about your school?" ”

Lu Bu thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts on building a school for a long time, and then explained.

"The biggest difference in the school I want to build is that it will not only be for the noble class, but also for all walks of life. It is a school that can be entered by farmers, craftsmen of various trades, and even merchants. ”

Cai Yong was extremely shocked when he heard Lu Bu's idea, and looked at Lu Bu with round eyes.

Cai Yong said in shock: "Fengxian, do you know that this idea of yours is really shocking. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said: "Since the Han Dynasty, for more than four hundred years, knowledge and learning have been in the hands of the scholars, which has enabled the scholars to monopolize official positions, and then formed the problem of the scholars that has lasted for hundreds of years. If I were to set up such a school for all classes, the biggest obstacle would be these scholars and even local officials. ”

"That's right." Cai Yong nodded, and then added: "The power of the Shi clan is intertwined and spreads throughout the world of the Han Dynasty. ”

Lu Bu looked at Cai Yong, his eyes were full of unwaveringness.

Cai Yong also looked at Lu Bu and sighed secretly in his heart, he understood that Lu Bu's character had always been like this.

He will think carefully about any problem, and once he thinks it through, he will unswervingly work towards the goal.

Since Lu Bu was able to say these words to him, he must also have his own considerations.

Thinking of this, Cai Yong exhaled with relief.

He looked at Lu Bu with a smile and said slowly, "Feng Xian, as a teacher, I also had this idea. Master Confucius once said, 'There is no class in teaching. 'It is everyone's right to receive knowledge. ”

Lu Bu hurriedly continued: "That's right. Although the knowledge and skills that can be acquired and can be learned vary from person to person, this does not mean that they should be deprived of this right. ”

Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu even more shocked, and Lu Bu's sentence can be summed up as another sentence that Confucius once said, teach students according to their aptitude.

Lu Bu's explanation and explanation are more vivid and concrete.

Moreover, in this regard, Cai Yong did not tell him, and as far as Cai Yong knew, Lu Bu also seemed to have rarely studied the classics, so he was shocked that Lu Bu was able to say these words so accurately.

Lu Bu didn't know Cai Yong's thoughts, and continued to explain: "On the other hand, most of the children of the Shi family look down on my background, and on the other hand, there are many children from poor families who have ideals and ambitions but cannot serve me because of their lack of knowledge. ”

Cai Yong nodded, and Lu Bu only said that he wanted to cultivate talents for the state and himself, not for the Han court.

Cai Yong can also understand that at this time, the Han court only existed in name only, and the princes everywhere developed their power for their own ambitions.

Although Lu Bu is no different from them, at least Lu Bu's starting point is to bring happiness to the people, and he has always done so.

Just looking at the current situation under his rule is enough to prove it.

Bingzhou has always been a barren and bitter cold land, but since Lu Bu's conquest of the grassland, Ding Yuan began to develop people's livelihood.

Now, after more than ten years of hard work by two generations, although the state is still not as rich as those rich lands, it has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the past.

Cai Yong is worried about the country and the people, but he is not worried about the Han court, but about tens of thousands of Li people all over the world.

Therefore, after learning of Lu Bu's ambitions, he not only did not have any opposition, but also spared no effort to help.

Now Lu Bu put forward the idea of establishing such a school, which coincides with his consistent ideal.

Cai Yong smiled excitedly, tears appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Okay! Good! Good! After saying three good things in a row, he was speechless with excitement.

Lu Bu said sincerely: "However, the student only has a general idea, and the student does not understand the specific things, so I came to ask the teacher, hoping that the teacher can give guidance, and I ask the teacher to help the student." ”

Cai Yong smiled loudly and said, "Hahaha, the teacher is already old, but I don't have the energy to work on these things anymore." ”

Although he said words of refusal, the tone in the words and Cai Yong's expression all showed the joy in his heart at the moment.

Lu Bu naturally knew that this was Cai Yong's illness as a literati.

was also happy to cooperate with the old father-in-law to play this trick of refusing and welcome, Lu Bu hurriedly got up and said: "Teacher, please also ask the teacher to go out of the mountain to help the students get through the difficulties, and also seek a benefit for the poor students in this world." ”

After a pause, Lu Bu said: "Students now have a wish: to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to continue to study for the saints, and to open peace for all generations." ”

Cai Yong looked stunned, looked at Lu Bu carefully, and then repeated these two sentences in a low voice.

I repeated it many times, and the more I repeated, the more I felt that the meaning expressed in it was far-reaching.

Establish a heart for heaven and earth, heaven and earth have no heart, but heaven and earth biochemical all things, endlessly, this is the heart of heaven and earth.

On the other hand, after the basic life is guaranteed, then it is necessary to educate the world, lead the people to do good, and pursue a better life, which is the meaning.

In order to continue the study of the saints, Zhang Hengqu, the great Confucian of the Northern Song Dynasty in later generations, said this sentence, which is based on history, since the two Han Dynasty, since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui and Tang dynasties and other dynasties, although it has lasted for thousands of years, but it has never been able to continue the pre-Qin Confucianism.

Until the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no decent teacher in the world.

In the end, it was not until the emergence of the physicists that the metaphysical wisdom of pre-Qin Confucianism was resurrected and Confucianism was restored to the earth.

However, in this era, although Confucianism has dominated since Dong Zhongshu monopolized Confucianism, there are still many other doctrines that have been handed down.

Lu Bu's original intention, as well as Cai Yong's understanding, is to let this grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought be recreated.

For the sake of peace for all generations, this last point, Cai Yong's understanding is not consistent with the meaning of the original text.

However, it represents another wish of Lu Bu, which makes Cai Yong feel even more real and unpretentious.

After tasting it for a long time, the meaning of Lu Bu's four sentences, Cai Yong's excited mood finally calmed down.

Turning his head and looking at Lu Bu, Cai Yong looked at the disciple with satisfaction.

After a long time, he spoke: "Fengxian, it is really a blessing for a teacher and a blessing for the world to have a disciple like you. ”

Although Lu Bu expected that once he said this, it would definitely cause Cai Yong's shock.

But I didn't expect it to surprise the old man.

Lu Bu hurriedly got up and saluted: "Teacher, you, your words are tormenting the students. ”

Cai Yong waved his hand to stop Lu Bu's next words, thought for a while and said, "Feng Xian, I already understand what you mean. This wish of yours is also my lifelong wish, let us master and apprentice complete it together! ”

Lu Bu's heart finally fell to the ground, although he had always been sure that Cai Yong would not refuse this proposal, but he could not really put his mind at ease until he personally confirmed it.

With a long sigh of relief, Lu Bu laughed.

Cai Yong frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly spoke: "Fengxian, I know that you have a lot of affairs, and you will definitely not be able to take the time to deal with this matter personally." However, the establishment of a school is not an overnight effort, and the strength of a teacher is not enough. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Teacher, what you said are the two things I am most worried about. ”

After a pause, Lu Bu then spoke: "Teacher, look at how this is. ”

Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu curiously when he heard this, he also wanted to hear what good methods this disciple who often had wonderful ideas could come up with this time.

Lu Bu then spoke: "If you want to build a school, manpower is indispensable, but at the same time, the rules and regulations of the school, as well as the various knowledge and teaching materials to be learned, are also very important. ”

Cai Yong nodded in agreement, he also used to give lectures, and he once met Lu Bu in Yingchuan Academy.

Therefore, what Lu Bu said at the moment, he very much agreed, these are the essential things of an academy.

"That's right, these things need to be planned in advance, and I have some experience in this regard."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Master, the disciple just wants to implore the master to formulate some rules and regulations in this regard first. ”

"Hahaha, you kid, I'm afraid it was premeditated." Cai Yong scolded Lu Bu with a smile.

Lu Bu scratched his head embarrassedly, smirked twice, and then said, "There is one more thing, teacher." ”

Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu with a smile, and was not annoyed, and asked, "If you have any other requirements, you will come out together." ”

"Teacher, I want to reform the existing academy system."

"Reform?" Cai Yong raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "How to reform the law, you can listen to it." ”

Lu Bu nodded and explained: "First of all, the school is divided into three classes, the most basic level is set up at the county level, and students from the villages, villages, townships, and towns under the jurisdiction of the county can go to study, and the knowledge in it is mainly basic knowledge, such as literacy and hyphenation, as well as some relatively simple and commonly used knowledge. The purpose is to educate the people and select talents for the next stage of learning. ”

After Lu Bu finished talking about this junior school, he did not continue to speak, but gave Cai Yong a time to digest and understand.

In fact, the idea is to apply the school grading of later generations.

When there are more people who can read and hyphenate, people who are engaged in various industries will gradually become knowledgeable.

This is good for the transmission and development of knowledge and skills, which is definitely good for future generations in the long run.

Cai Yong is not a mediocre person, and after a little thought, he figured out the benefits.

However, he frowned slightly, and at the same time discovered a major drawback of this idea, or rather an omission that Lu Bu did not expect.

"Fengxian, this matter is very good. But have you ever thought that this move will definitely cause a backlash from the nobles, and this will come back to the point where we have a headache just now? ”

"Teacher, the establishment of the school will definitely encounter a strong backlash and even violent resistance from the scholars. I had already prepared for the worst of these situations, so I decided to take the lead in implementing them in the state. After all, Bingzhou has been run by me for many years, and the power of the Shi clan here is relatively weak, and the obstacles to its implementation are relatively not too strong. ”

Cai Yong nodded and did not continue to speak.

He just opened his mouth to remind Lu Bu that as Lu Bu said, the establishment of this school itself was completely opposite to the scholar clan.

In this case, instead of timidly trying to find the best of both worlds, it is better to give it a go and prepare for the worst.

Seeing that Cai Yong did not continue to speak, Lu Bu continued: "The second-level schools are called intermediate schools, and the locations are set up in various states and counties. In short, the students who graduated from such schools can be the head of a department in work, and the order of a county in politics, and they can teach in primary schools. ”

"Good! This move is very second! Cai Yong applauded when he heard this: "This plan is really secondary, there is a specialization in the art industry, and different talents are suitable for different knowledge, which is in response to the old master Confucius's teaching according to his aptitude." Students who are trained in this way will naturally be able to have the purest and most professional knowledge, and they will be able to choose their future direction in a more targeted manner after completing their studies. ”

Lu Bu nodded, Cai Yong said exactly what he thought and considered.

"There is also the first school, which is the highest level of school, and this level of school should be the best students among all state and county schools, so that they can come to this level of school for further study. Schools at this level are divided into only three categories, namely literature, martial arts, and graduate studies. ”

Cai Yong frowned, interrupted Lu Bu suspiciously, and asked: "This literature and martial arts are relatively easy to understand, as the name suggests, it is to cultivate high-level talents in both politics and the military. What does this mean? ”

Lu Bu smiled and explained: "This research is the research of research, some students will be willing to apply the skills to practice, but there are still some people who like to study, for example, blacksmiths study iron smelting technology, technology, teaching Mr. Xi research topics, teaching materials, etc., this discipline is specially set up for this kind of people, research, improve all walks of life, so that they can flourish a discipline." ”

After a pause, Lu Bu then spoke: "Teacher, this is the general idea of the student, you can take a look at the deficiencies, please correct them." ”

After listening to Lu Bu's explanation, Cai Yong fell into deep thought.

Turning around, Cai Yong pushed open the guqin on the table, took the pen and ink book next to him, and recorded what Lu Bu had just said.

Cai Yong is gifted and has a natural ability to never forget, and at this time, with the memory of what Lu Bu just said, he actually recorded them all word for word.

Carefully drying the ink on the book, Cai Yong looked at the content of the writing with satisfaction and checked that there was no omission.

Only then did I look at the contents of the book and think about it.

Lu Bu knew that Cai Yong was contemplating and thinking, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to disturb.

Stood up, walked to Cai Yong's side, and observed Cai Yong's calligraphy.

Cai Yong's calligraphy is a family of its own, and according to legend, it was inspired by the craftsmen who repaired the Hongdu Gate to dip their brooms in white and paint the characters. Huang Bosi of the Northern Song Dynasty in later generations said: "The handwriting of its hair is called white, and the one who lifts it is called flying." ”

First of all, the use of flying white will produce the beauty of the strokes. Some strokes are like shooting stars across the sky, some are like speedboats rushing across the water, some are like cliffs and waterfalls, some are like weaving threads stretching, and some are like women's hair fluttering in the wind...... It's so varied and beautiful.

Secondly, the use of flying white can make the word shine a lot. The flying white and other strokes in the single word are born of virtual and real, with pictorial beauty and sometimes decorative beauty. Sometimes, the other strokes in a single word are written plainly, and if used appropriately, the word can be immediately eye-catching; Sometimes, Feibai can also cover up or save the inconspicuous failure in a word, and receive the effect of diverting the focus; Sometimes, in a vertical painting of a single word, the appropriate use of flying white, in order to achieve relative stability, to achieve the balance effect of the right and the middle of the square.

In addition, the beauty of the above-mentioned flying white is embodied in a calligraphy work, which is conducive to the overall beauty. The flying white in the whole work, some of which are like a mountain stream with a clear spring, fresh and natural; Some are like flowers sporadically embellished with girls' dresses, and they are full of affection; Wait a minute. It is worth mentioning that in the light and heavy illness of Feibai, the rhythm of writing can be reflected, which is also one of the manifestations that enhance the overall beauty of the work.

Lu Bu was a professor in his previous life, and he also liked to study calligraphy in his daily life.

After coming to this era, he deliberately studied the calligraphy of several calligraphers.

Whether it is Zhong Xuan or Cai Yong, he has repeatedly consulted.

Every time he looks at the notes of these masters, he will be sincerely amazed.

When he writes on his own, he sometimes thinks about how to write and how to lay it out.

But when Cai Yong wrote, he had no scruples, and every work was at his fingertips, but the law in it was meticulous and natural, which made Lu Bu envious in his heart.

When Lu Bu was immersed in his appreciation of Cai Yong's calligraphy, Cai Yong suddenly put down the book and looked at Lu Bu with a thick smile on his face, but he didn't speak.

Lu Bu was furious by Cai Yong's eyes, and asked with some hesitation: "Teacher, what's wrong?" Why do you look at students like this? ”

"I'm laughing at myself."

Lu Bu didn't understand what Cai Yong meant for a while, and looked at Cai Yong speechlessly.

Cai Yong didn't let Lu Bu wait too long, and then opened his mouth with a long sigh, his face full of a satisfied smile: "I, Cai Bo, am middle-aged, have had several ups and downs, and have been displaced, originally thinking that this life would be ruined, and I would die for the rest of my life. But he never thought that the heavens would favor him, and he would be able to know Lu Bu, and he was even more fortunate to accept this disciple. ”

Cai Yongxian began to tell the sky all the time, and tears of excitement flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Then he turned his head and looked at Lu Bu.

"Feng Xian, you just made me feel worthy of my life today. It's really a shame to be a teacher, a teacher. With a disciple like you, the old man has no regrets in this life, even if he dies, it is enough to be blind. Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu with a smile and said calmly.

Lu Bu looked at Cai Yong dumbfounded, and found that the complicated look in the other party's eyes contained satisfaction, relief, happiness, and even a trace of loneliness, so he reacted.

He quickly fell to his knees and kowtowed.

This time it was Cai Yong's turn to be a little confused, and he forgot to reach out to stop Lu Bu's movements.

Lu Bu kowtowed and said, "Teacher, teacher, disciple is just talking nonsense for a while, you old man must not think about it, you will definitely live a long life......

When Cai Yong heard this, he knew that what he just said was indeed a little too negative, but it made Lu Bu misunderstand.

But those words were all said by themselves, and under the emotion, the words were a little inappropriate.

At this moment, Cai Yong's expression was like eating a fly, and he couldn't slap himself in the mouth.

Seeing that Lu Bu was still earnestly persuading there, a wave of emotion surged in his heart, but he didn't want to show it on his face.

Hurriedly stood up, kicked Lu Bu with a smile and said, "You rabbit cub, you haven't given birth to a grandson for the old man, so you cursed the old man, but the skin itched and couldn't do it!" Don't look at what kind of brave general you are in the world, don't you think that the old man won't dare to beat you. ”

"Uh." Lu Bu also reacted at this time, it turned out that he had misunderstood.

Scratching his head embarrassedly, he opened his mouth to explain: "Teacher, it's all because the disciples are making a fuss. In fact, the look on the face of the teacher who spoke just now was very similar to the ...... when his father-in-law Ding Yuan left."

Cai Yong closed his mouth at this time, Lu Bu is sad enough in this life, and the master and apprentice are a little sympathetic to each other at this point.

With a sigh, Cai Yong didn't continue the topic, and hurriedly said, "These ideas of yours are very good. I have been greatly touched by the fact that you have told me so much today, old man, that your ideas are very complex, and they will not be able to be completed in a moment, and I need to think about them carefully. ”

"It's bothering the teacher."

"That's all right, kid, it's also the teacher's wish, so it's not all for you. But these things are not something that the old man can do alone, and I have to find a few old friends. "17 Baidu, the latest chapter of "Lu Bujie's Literature of the Three Kingdoms" is free to read for the first time.
