Chapter 729: Persuasion
When Kong Yingda appeased everyone and turned his head to look at Sun Xiangfu, he saw a faint smile on his face, which made him feel very bad in his heart, remembering that eleven years ago, when he saw this guy for the first time in the court, he was scolded by him, and in the end, he couldn't pay it back, and scolded in vain.
This time, it was worse than last time, and it was beaten directly, and it should have been beaten in vain.
Standing under the stage and watching the lively Li Chunfeng, he said in his mouth, "The rise of the new saint will inevitably have an impact on the saint, and Old Man Kong has sent it to the door today." โ
On the stage, Kong Yingda said, "Young Master Sun, the previous matter has been revealed, since you are the identity of the Qincha and you are here, then the old man will now sue you for some illegal things here, and ask you to adjudicate." โ
Sun Xiangfu stretched out his hand and gestured, "Please speak." โ
Kong Yingda pointed to Yu Zhendao, who had already crowded in front of the stage, "This son does not learn and has no skills, and he indiscriminately teaches and governs the skills of poison among schoolchildren, this is the crime of misleading people's children and disturbing the country, please punish him." โ
Sun Xiangfu pointed at Yu Zhendao, "You come to the stage to answer, can you admit the charges that this Kong Saijiu has confessed?" โ
Yu Zhen climbed onto the stage in twos and twos, and replied, "There is no such thing, the professors of the Jiuyuan County School, the research projects, are all serious doctrines that have been approved by the imperial court, and we don't know what the Gu poison technique mentioned by Confucius Sacrifice Wine, what he smashed at that time was raised by the students to explore the stall of the 'mealworms' introduced by the fleet from North America." โ
Hearing this, Kong Yingda pointed at Yu Zhendao angrily, "Nonsense, the professors of the imperial court and county studies are all the most rational knowledge in the world written by the sages, how can you allow you to teach this evil sect that raises Gu worms, the old man saw it with his own eyes, among them, some people gave Gu worms to eat, thinking about it, it is to achieve some ulterior secret." โ
Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu roughly knew what was going on, and said, "As far as this official knows, the mealworm that you always refer to as a Gu worm is indeed a kind of food, especially after being fried, it is crispy and delicious, it is a very nourishing delicacy, but it is not a Gu worm." โ
Jiuyuan County School, is currently the only school that has opened the subject of biology and nature, the students groped for the breeding of Zhao Long and the mealworms they brought back, which has been successful, and today they are on display, and they also take the opportunity to let the people who came to watch eat a fresh.
However, the appearance of mealworms, especially when many are packed together, are as disgusting as maggots, and usually, only bold people dare to try to eat them, Kong Yingda, a person who has never seen mealworms at all, sees a bunch of mealworms, and his first reaction is that his scalp is numb, and he identifies it as an evil thing such as Gu worms.
"Ridiculous, people have the truth of eating insects, if so, how is it different from chickens, ducks, birds and beasts?" Kong Yingda flicked his sleeves and said angrily.
"What people eat, it really doesn't matter, eat grain, eat fish and shrimp, eat chickens and ducks, eat cattle and sheep, as long as it does not affect our health, why do you care what kind of it is?
The law of the jungle is the truth.
The people are weak, and if they do not strengthen themselves, they will be ruled by the powerful or foreign enemies, and there will be no bones left to eat.
How do you make them stronger?
Teach them more life skills so that they can have ways to grow more food for them to eat, clothes to wear, and houses to live in.
This is the correct truth, and it is also what Confucius said, 'The people can make it, and they can make it, but they can't make it, and they know it.' 'The correct solution. โ
Sun Xiangfu said that in the two sentences of the Analects, the pause was very obvious, Kong Yingda's eyes lit up when he listened, and he suddenly found that it turned out that these things that Jiuyuan County learned to do were actually Confucianism and really used it in practice.
This sentence uses Sun Xiangfu's sentence, which means that the people's lives are good, and they can live them, and the people's lives can't go on, so let's teach them how to live.
It is completely contrary to the foolishness and arguing that the common people should follow the path we guide and not let them know why.
And Confucius, who lectured on the world, had 3,000 disciples, and was 72 sages, would he be a person who advocated the idea of foolishness?
Absolutely not, if he thinks that the common people should be stupid, why bother to teach the world, spare no effort to spread his knowledge, and be able to say, "Learn without getting tired, teaching people tirelessly." How can they advocate a policy of ignoring the people?
It was only because the Confucian scholars of later generations misunderstood the meaning of the sages and coaxed the monarch to adopt a policy of ignoring the people, which would benefit them, the Confucian scholars and doctors.
Only when the people remain ignorant can they, who have mastered knowledge, continue to be superior.
"Young Master Sun, no wonder Your Majesty will let you serve as the crown prince and young master, it turns out that your understanding of Jingyi is far beyond ours, and you have tried every means to use it in practice, we are ashamed, it is better to do it." Kong Yingda suddenly bowed his hand very respectfully and gave Sun Xiangfu a salute.
If it weren't for the smashed dark circles on his eye sockets that were a little funny, Sun Xiangfu almost forgot that he was dealing with a dispute with him, he was so anxious about this turn that he almost threw Sun Xiangfu out of the car, and Sun Xiangfu, who wanted to see what he had to do, had to politely return the salute, "Kong Sai wine has won the prize." โ
Then, Kong Yingda's next words came immediately, and said, "Therefore, Young Master Sun should also think that only the study of the sage is the university that can make the development and progress of my Tang Dynasty, and my future generations should study and understand the knowledge passed down by the sage as the main ยทยทยทยทยทยท."
"You are old and wait, there may be a thing, you have to figure it out, what the sage said, that is all the truth, but life exists in this world, many times, there is no reason to talk about, I will learn from the future, I can't just learn the truth, but also what I should learn is the truth." Kong Yingda's heart is really big, he even wants to pull Sun Xiangfu into the Confucian group, but Sun Xiangfu from later generations is not a person who can be easily tricked by him.
"How can a person who has not even learned the truth know what the truth is?" Kong Yingda asked rhetorically.
Sun Xiangfu didn't think about it at all, and replied, "I just said that in the world, there are many things that have no reason to talk about, just like some people are born smart, and they know everything they know, and some people are born fools, and they can't even learn the most basic words after learning for a lifetime, so what is the reason to talk about?"
Do you want those fools to go to the death and learn the truth? This is unrealistic.
However, fools are also human beings, and they also need to survive in this world, many foreign barbarians, they are ignorant, but they know how to use force to rob others of their survival resources, they can't eat enough, they won't reason with others.
And if all the people go to learn the truth, who will learn the knowledge of production, farming, and breeding? Do you think that if you reason with these food crops, with those cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, they will be able to grow well?
Therefore, scientific truth is necessary for human survival, and only when everyone solves the problem of survival can we have the conditions to learn those truths.
What Guan Zi said, 'If you are honest, you will know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.' That's it.
But the sad thing is that today's Confucian scholars only know how to learn the truth, but they can't look at the truth rationally, just like you, and these people behind you, gathered here today, what are they for?
For the status of Confucianism and for the interests of these Confucian students, he never thought about whether it was something beneficial to the country and the people. Even, they are still trying to prevent others from disseminating the truth and knowledge that is useful to the country, which is simply a big joke in the world. โ
Hearing this, Kong Yingda opened his mouth, but did not make a sound, because he seemed to be unable to deny what Sun Xiangfu said.
Then, I listened to Sun Xiangfu continue, "If the truth is good for the people, the people will naturally be willing to learn it."
Otherwise, the people will not be willing to learn it.
This is also the reason why the students in those schools in Guanzhong have transferred to the new school to study.
Because what the new school taught was useful and could really solve their existential problems, and the knowledge taught by Confucianism was not something they had to learn.
Of course, the imperial court has never denied the importance of Confucianism to the country, so it has never prevented the spread of Confucianism in education, but Confucianism should only be one of the basic knowledge that the whole people can learn, and should not be the only teaching knowledge of the country.
Otherwise, it will affect the internal balance of the whole country, and it will be distorted and used by Confucian scholars according to their own interests, and it will become a special study for exploiting others. โ
"Confucianism should only be one of the basic knowledge that the whole people can learn, and it should not be the only teaching knowledge in the country." Kong Yingda muttered and savored Sun Xiangfu's words, but he didn't know how to refute it.
Sun Xiangfu knew that it was impossible for him to overturn the belief that a person had insisted on since birth, so he needed to let these Confucian students see that the power of scientific truth and the truth of its existence could influence them little by little.
In fact, people who can really learn the Four Books and Five Classics to a certain extent are actually not low in IQ, because even in later generations, students who are not university majors in liberal arts may not be able to understand these things to a certain extent.
In later generations, these people are generally gathered together to learn scientific knowledge and engage in scientific research, and it is also a good idea to find opportunities to tap some talents from among them to learn science and technology.
Seeing that Kong Yingda didn't speak for a long time, Sun Xiangfu also had to find a reason to let him step down.
After all, just now, he had used some methods to dispel the resentment in the hearts of the people, so he shouted to the audience, "Okay, everyone go back to their places, eat what should be eaten, play what should be played, and perform should be performed, what happened today is just a misunderstanding, since Confucius and some Confucian students have a misunderstanding of the knowledge of our Jiuyuan County Professor, then let's show them our knowledge, and when they really understand these things, there will be no more misunderstandings, Yu Zhen, You arrange it. โ
Sun Xiangfu did not hesitate to spare people when he was justified like more than ten years ago, but chose to calm things down.
All people have their own interests, which is not wrong, standing at his current height, what needs to be considered is more long-term, more in line with the direction of future development.
At present, Confucianism is the most comprehensive and systematic way to educate on morality.
Therefore, in the new education system, it is also necessary to reserve a place for Confucianism, which is conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the country.
Like the Song Dynasty, it was because Confucianism was thoroughly implemented that there was never a situation of rebellion by ministers, while in the Tang Dynasty, it was precisely because of the lack of ideological education of ministers that they instigated rebellion, so they turned from prosperity to decline.
A country with strong military force and developed economy, but a loss of morality, is unacceptable, and Sun Xiangfu must try his best to prevent such a thing from happening, especially when the ethnic minorities on the four sides have not really integrated into it. ()
