Chapter 123: The Present Conquers the Ancient

Outside the door of the mid-mountain hall, Guozijian Zhou Xijiu and Luo Siye stood side by side, and when several Guozi doctors heard Zhang Shou advocating the principles of the world, they couldn't help but show their resentment. One of the eldest couldn't help but roar loudly: "The era of the Ancient Saint King, that was the Holy Meiji Era, how can it be compared to the past now, you are simply arrogant and ridiculous!" ”

None of the students in the room expected that someone outside would suddenly attack at this time, even if some people who had just lost their minds were suddenly excited. This is the Guozi Supervisor, and in the past, all the halls were in charge of their own affairs, and those Guozi doctors even supervised the one they were responsible for occasionally, and most of the affairs were handed over to the chief of the fast.

Now there are people who come forward to confront their new teacher, which is very lively!

Zhang Shou had long expected that once he admired the present instead of retro, he would definitely be sprayed. Knowing that the person who refuted him angrily was Yang Yiming, a doctor who supervised the Frankness Hall of Guozi, he laughed and said, "Dr. Yang said that the time of the Ancient Saint King is the best, then I dare to ask you, do you know how big the territory was when the Ancient Saint King was in time?" How many people were there in the world at that time? How many people could read at that time? ”

Seeing that the old man was stunned by his own question, he continued like a cannon: "When the ancient saint king, Jiangnan was still a country of Ze, Jingchu was still a countless jungle, Liaodong was a land of ice and snow, and there was only a small place in the Central Plains that was populated, which is now a place of political affairs. Do you think it is difficult to govern a political secretary, or is it difficult to govern the world today? ”

Before the old man could sort it out again, he opened his mouth again without hurrying.

"Shangshu Toast" said, but the ancestors of Yin, there are books and classics. Even the history of books is only gradually available in the Yin Shang period, and the ancient times you said, even if there are more quotations from the sages, you can record the next half of it? It is necessary to know that Yin Shang is still a blood sacrifice, and it is only worshiped during the week! We grind wheat noodles now, but in the Han Dynasty, only the nobles could eat flour, and the ordinary people could only eat wheat rice. ”

"Qin has no paper, Han has no hydraulic stone mill, Jin has no gunpowder, Tang has no movable type, Song has no fire, and the firearms of the Yuan Dynasty are far inferior to today...... Not to mention that the fields reclaimed by hundreds of millions of people are all over the world, and once they are ripe, they are full of the world. By the way, I remember that even kapok was only planted on a large scale in this dynasty, and I dare to ask Dr. Yang, what kind of cold protection was used in ancient times? ”

Seeing that Yang Yiming's whole face had twitched, Zhang Shou said lightly: "Yes, there were furs at that time, but since you are the ancient people who respected the royal way of etiquette, if you can only kill wild beasts to get meat and skins to keep your stomach warm, then how can it compare to being able to take everything from the field now, and be full of warmth?" ”

Seeing that Yang Yiming was refuted to the fullest, while the other Dr. Guozi looked at each other, they couldn't help but be very glad that they didn't rush out to join the ranks of refutation, and now they won't fall into embarrassment.

And Zhou Saijiu and Luo Siye glanced at each other, which was even more unpleasant in their hearts.

All dynasties and dynasties all admired retro, but this dynasty ...... Ahem, the Taizu of this dynasty hates others to say how the ancient holy king is, when a certain Confucian opened his mouth to talk about this topic, he immediately refuted it angrily, the ancient ancestors still drank blood, no matter how capable the holy king is, how can it be more prosperous than today?

Just when they were temporarily stuck, they only heard a low admiration from behind them.

"That's a good point! It is said that the ancient holy kings are how, Emperor Taizu said at the beginning, let alone the ancients, there were no stirrups in the Qin period, and the manly husbands in the Han Dynasty still wore open crotch pants! Originally, the days were getting better and better day by day! ”

Dr. Yang Yiming, who was racking his brains to think of words, turned his head angrily, only to see that the person who spoke was none other than Zhu Ying, who was dressed as a man! Before he could tell himself that a good man would not fight with a woman, he recognized another person beside her.

At this moment, he turned pale.

Because, the one who stood behind them with great interest and listened to it was none other than today.

It doesn't matter if you desperately worship the ancient saint king behind your back, it doesn't matter if you worship the ancient world more than now, because even the Son of Heaven will be reluctant to worship the ancient times on some specific occasions. However, on this occasion, his shouting is not as obvious as the words of the Son of Heaven that are not as good as back then, and it is simply digging his own grave!

The emperor only glanced at this old doctor who kept admiring the ancients with deep eyes, and then gestured to the others, preventing Zhou Xun and other scholars from coming over to salute. He didn't want his presence to affect the lesson.

And Zhang Shou in the room also happened to hear Zhu Ying's voice. He didn't know that the Son of Heaven from outside had also come to listen with great interest, but he withdrew his gaze from the old man Yang who had just looked, and glanced at the students in the middle of the mountain hall with a smile.

"Actually, a lot of what I said can be found in ancient books. There may have been many mysterious but lost things in antiquity, but now, we have also created a prosperous era that the ancients could not have imagined. At least, the ancients would never have sailed the world like me, looking at the four seas. ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words: "I know that the people sitting here now, except for the two princes who are in the process of enlightenment, other people's reading talents are about ordinary, or rather, they don't like rote memorization." Therefore, the curriculum I set is also very simple, four classes a day, two classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon, each class for half an hour, and a break of two quarters of an hour. ”

"One is to talk about history, half an hour, talk about the history books of all dynasties, and also talk about some things in the notes of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign literati, combined with some four books and five classics, everyone can listen to the story. I can't help but ask questions in class. ”

"The second is nature, simply explain to you the principles of the world, at least, no one will be ignorant enough to shout demon law in the future."

When the emperor and Zhu Ying outside the door heard Zhang Shou's words, one sneered, and at the same time, they thought of Zhang Huaili, the original secretary of the household department who was at home. It's just that the poor man has now suffered a stroke and collapsed, unable to speak, unable to write, even if he is present at this time, he hears Zhang Shou satirizing the demon law, there is no way to refute it angrily.

"The third is etiquette and music, to put it simply, it is a variety of elective courses to cultivate sentiment, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc. All kinds of musical instruments, whether elegant or vulgar, are all in it. ”

"The fourth is fitness, riding archery, martial arts, juju, polo and so on. If you are not interested in these confrontations that are too fierce, pitching, cricket, table tennis...... A course selection schedule for three or four classes will be sent back to the meeting. Life lies in movement, don't say that you will enter the phase, get off the horse to govern the people, get on the horse to govern the army, at least, you have no power to tie the chicken, and it is useless to be a scholar These evaluations should not belong to the prisoners of the Guozijian! ”

Lu Sanlang, who was also sneakily behind the emperor to watch the excitement, almost applauded loudly, but thinking about it, it was too exaggerated, and he could only force himself to suppress this emotion. And the next moment, he heard a childlike voice coming from inside.

"Great, I'm most afraid of being forced to endorse every day!"

The excitement of the four princes only lasted for a moment, and it came to an abrupt end because the sleeve was pulled hard by the third brother on the side. Realizing that he had lost his temper several times today, he was suddenly extremely embarrassed.

However, he was completely relaxed in a moment, because Zhang Chen followed him and applauded, and all the gentlemen who had been mixed in the Cuiyun room at the beginning were all working hard to coax and act as cheers, as for the others...... Although some people are still skeptical, this kind of course arrangement is much better than what they imagined to be forced to memorize scriptures and write articles by waving a ring ruler.

Therefore, after the initial sparse applause, people continued to join in, and among the more than 100 people in the room, only a few thorns were still carrying them. Some people even took advantage of the moment when the applause gradually subsided and asked out loud.

"Dr. Zhang just said that there are four classes a day, are you proficient in all of what you said?"

"Of course...... No way! ”

After Zhang Shou paused, he smiled but calmly spit out those three words: "In today's world, there are probably no people who are proficient in scripture and history, skilled in martial arts, superb in music, outstanding in etiquette, and can also play good juju and play polo, and I am certainly no exception." However, there is no shortage of people who are proficient in one thing, in this capital that gathers talents from all over the world. ”

"Furthermore, what is an elective? It's just that everyone can really learn something that interests you, with your respective backgrounds, you really have the heart to study, and in the future, you can naturally invite everyone who is unique in the world to teach, and today's class is just inspiring. Therefore, the compulsory lecture on history and nature, I will say, the rest of the teachers, you can put forward your own candidates, and then hire them externally. ”

"The candidates hired outside of each elective course are voted on by those who take this course. And after choosing, it is up to everyone to find a way to hire them by themselves. Of course, there are rules for the entry and exit of Guozijian, and if someone wants to invite the top brand to teach Fenghua Xueyue, they will die as soon as possible. If you are good at juju throwing pots and the like, you can also recommend yourself as a professor. ”

I heard that the teacher can also decide to invite himself, and even Mao Sui recommended himself to be, although Zhang Shou put an end to the top cards who were proficient in music and rhythm in the Chu Pavilion of the Qinglou, but everyone was still extremely excited, until a crisp shock, they were quiet again.

No one noticed that, although they could never say that they had just obeyed this division commander, they were already unconsciously willing to listen to him.

Zhang Shou knew that if the emperor was willing, he could invite the best Confucian in the world for the third and fourth princes, or the gentleman with the highest level of lecturing, and even Ge Yong might not shirk the request to give lectures to the two princes every three or five times, but the emperor threw the two princes together with a bunch of bad boys to himself, so he set his strategy in the Mid-Levels Hall from the beginning.

Tell stories, not knowledge; Do popularization, not research.

The twenty-four people who have been to Cuiyun may not be able to make all the prodigal sons turn back, let alone the more than 100 people at the moment?
