Chapter 730: A New Era for Mankind
Scientific knowledge, when you don't know it, will find it incredible, like a miracle.
However, after understanding and knowing, you will feel that it is so vast and profound, you can't help but want to explore more of its secrets.
Mealworm Kong Yingda ate, high-protein, easy-to-digest food, which is a good tonic for elderly people like him.
Of course, today's Jiuyuan County School, what can bring him novelty is not only these.
Because, after several years of education, thousands of junior high school students have been produced here, and even hundreds of students have graduated and stayed in school for more advanced knowledge exploration.
Physics, simple chemistry display, that is really called a god, Kong Yingda even in one of the stalls, saw a few little princes and princesses, through his inquiry, he knew that it turned out that at the beginning of the year, Li Shimin left them all in Jiuyuan County to study.
And Jiuyuan County School, it is not that Confucian knowledge is not taught at all, but the way of teaching is a little different, they prefer to use pictures and texts to make some truths, into small stories that children can easily understand, although the entire primary school and junior high school Chinese textbooks, add up, less than ten short texts are about Confucian knowledge, but this kind of story books in the form of extracurricular reading, but there are a lot of them.
Seeing these things, Kong Yingda finally realized and understood why Mozi, who practiced practical learning thousands of years ago, criticized Confucianism for being flashy.
People, to survive in the world, really can't just rely on the great principle of retreat.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as well as many people of insight like Sun Zhengming, have seen this clearly, they know how to absorb and use the good parts of Confucianism, and it is impossible to let Confucianism, or the Confucian scholar and doctor class, like the late Han Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, control the right to speak in the court, because this will not only affect the long-term rule of the country, but also too many problems, which cannot be solved by the Confucian avenue.
With Confucianism and the Confucian scholar system, it can govern the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and even the Sui Dynasty, but it cannot govern the current era.
Because the country is already too big, what is needed is not only Confucian philosophy, but all kinds of scientific analysis data, high-tech products created, and so on.
If it takes a few months to get from Chang'an to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and a year or even more to get to the Tammo Road, then it will not be possible to effectively rule the local area.
This is just one of the very simple examples, so now, even the principle of 'the people can make it, let it go', is no longer applicable.
Millions of people gather in a city, if there is no higher-end medicine, epidemic prevention level, more effective architectural planning, political system planning, it is simply not possible to make it operate normally, let alone effective output, the current situation is that even if 'the people can make it', it cannot be 'by', we must take the initiative to carry out more scientific planning and management.
Therefore, the popularity of scientific knowledge is already an unstoppable trend, and if these Confucian children cannot recognize the essence of this doctrine and figure out what kind of attitude they should exist in this society, then they will inevitably be eliminated by the general trend.
At dusk, Kong Yingda honestly had a meal in the dining area with everyone, and Sun Xiangfu had no intention of accompanying him, because he had already been entangled by his two children.
Then, in the final theatrical performance, when the children were about to perform on stage, Sun Xiangfucai and Kong Yingda sat under the stage together and watched the children's singing and dancing performances.
"Do you know now the gap between Confucianism and scientific and practical learning?" Sun Xiangfu waved his hand lightly with the rhythm of the performance on the stage, and asked Kong Yingda, who was staring at the stage with his eyes in his eyes, but didn't know what he was thinking.
Kong Yingda replied in a slightly sad tone, "The old man already knows that the scientific and practical learning you are talking about is the knowledge that can make all the people in the world rich and healthy, which Confucianism can't do." ”
Let a person who has received Confucianism education since childhood and believes in Confucianism in his bones admit that Confucianism is inferior to others, which needs irrefutable facts to prove.
And to accept this fact, how difficult it will be at that level of Kong Yingda's psychology, Sun Xiangfu can roughly understand.
Comforted, "Human beings, from the primitive tribal era, to the era of slave society, and then to the era of feudal monarchs, have experienced three stages of civilization, thousands of years of development, and now, is about to enter a new era dominated by industrial science and technology, this is the progress of human beings, is a higher level of transformation, all human beings, should be happy for this progress, because, every progress, human beings, are getting better and better." ”
Kong Yingda has never heard this kind of discussion of looking at the problem from the perspective of the entire human race, however, he followed what Sun Xiangfu said and thought about it carefully, and it was true.
Datang, now, is only at the beginning of the transformation to the era of industrial science and technology, and the wealth and comfort of the people have far surpassed that of the Qin and Han dynasties, and I can't imagine what the future will be.
"In your opinion, what will the future look like?" Kong Yingda looked at Sun Xiangfu with slightly cloudy eyes and asked.
"I'm not sure, at least, the land, sea and the air will not be an obstacle, and perhaps, we can go to the moon to see it, but I'm afraid we can't wait for that day." Sun Xiangfu raised his head and looked up at the Starry Sky Dao.
"Moon, moon?"
Kong Yingda's mouth trembled, but Li Chunfeng, who was sitting on the other side of Sun Xiangfu, was bright.
Previously, Sun Xiangfu had provided him with a trigonometric formula for calculating the distance from the earth to the moon, and he had already calculated an approximate number, about more than 380,000 kilometers.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is that Sun Xiangfu actually thinks that he can fly such a distance with a flying machine.
In his heart, Sun Xiangfu is a saint who can only speak the truth, he said yes, it should be over, it is really okay, so he is ready to record this idea in a small notebook and pass it on to his disciples from generation to generation, so that they can find a way to complete it after the level of industrial science and technology has reached.
At the end of the performance, Sun Xiangfu did not forget to remind the teaching doctors of Guozijian who came with Kong Yingda, and some students, don't forget to go to the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion tomorrow to receive the punishment.
Then, he asked Zhang Ke to send someone to send a message to the eldest grandson Wuji, these people will basically be detained when they go to the eldest grandson Wuji, and when Sun Xiangfu goes to the Tubo Plateau, he will bring them all, which can be regarded as a disguised way to share the pressure on Li Chengqian in Chang'an.
After all, those state schools and county schools that used to focus on Confucian education are now facing closure, and many of the original teachers need a channel for promotion or relocation.
As long as they can teach children to read and write according to what is written in the textbook, they will be qualified to be hired, and these things are much easier than when they taught students to read the Four Books and the Five Classics and understand the meaning of the classical Chinese scriptures.
In the process of going home, Sun Xiangfu had two children weighing more than forty pounds hanging on his body, fortunately he was in a carriage, otherwise, he would have died of exhaustion.
"Daddy, Wukong follows us to school every day! Now, he has learned to use the addition and subtraction method of calculating the remuneration within ten! ”
"yes, then you're going to count?" Sun Xiangfu was overjoyed when he heard this, glanced at Wukong, who was squatting at the window of the carriage and looking out, and asked casually.
"Well, sometimes it's miscalculated."
Speaking of this, Sun Jing bit her finger embarrassedly, and Sun Wanting stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.
"Damn, you're all with me." Seeing their expressions, Sun Xiangfu covered his forehead in pain and said.
"We've taken good care of Goku!" After Sun Jing's eyes rolled for a long time, he thought of his biggest specialty and said it.
Sun Xiangfu touched his head helplessly and said, "Okay! In Daddy's place, this is also a specialty, but you are almost finished in the first grade, and the addition and subtraction within ten will be miscalculated, don't be known by your mother, otherwise, you know. ”
The two little guys seemed to have heard something very terrifying, and they shrank their necks one after another, what they didn't know was that Yu Xiu'er, who had returned home, had already asked Rose and Peony to find their exam papers.
Therefore, other people's families are twenty-eight years old and sloppy, and the Sun family is twenty-eight years old and beat children.
After Sun Xiangfu's repeated assurances, the family finally ended the situation of chickens, dogs, monkeys, and squeaks, and then, Sun Xiaomei will be picked up tomorrow to help the two little guys make up for math lessons, as for Li Chunfeng, who is also good at mathematics, because he has to write his meteorology books, he will not bother him.
Uncle De couldn't understand why a top math student like Sun Xiaomei wanted to teach mathematics for a primary school student, but after seeing her come back, Sun Xiangfu kept asking her, and he knew that Sun Xiangfu just found a step for Yu Xiu'er to go down after the two little guys had eaten enough lessons.
"This year's two consecutive seasons of hybrid rice planting, I am strictly following the methods you taught me, but the yield is the same as what I wrote to you before, there is no much atmosphere, and I don't have much confidence in the trial planting in the third season next year." Sun Xiaomei said with some shame.
Sun Xiangfu comforted, "The second phase of planting is more difficult than the first phase, and the average yield per mu increases by more than ten catties each time, which is already good. There's no rush anyway.
Next year, we can focus more on the new African crops that Daochang Li brought back. ”
Hearing Sun Xiangfu say this, Sun Xiaomei smiled and said, "This, I don't need to worry about it, when Mei Niang learned that Li Daochang and they were back, she ran over as soon as she could, and snatched most of the seeds to Suizhou, now!" Suizhou borders, they only recognize her, not Li Yuanchang. Anyway, here in Yingzhou, I have a lot of planting projects, so I'll leave them all to her! ”
"Yes, it seems that you are full of interest in the development of Yingzhou! After the year, I went back and told Li Ke's kid to make a report to the Zongren Mansion and find someone to come to the mansion to propose marriage! After the end of the first month, I will go to Tibet. ”
"Big brother~!" Speaking of this, Sun Xiaomei blushed and complained sweetly, and then stomped her feet and ran away.
Looking at her back running away with a smile, Sun Xiangfu remembered that it was time to discuss with Yu Xiuer how to buy Sun Xiaomei's dowry.
