"Brother Chengfeng, just say it, what do you need us to do, the four of us will only take the lead of Brother Chengfeng." Zhou Xiangwen said categorically.

"Yes, Brother Chengfeng, you can just say it." The other three also expressed their stance one after another.

Seeing that the four of them were so determined, Du Chengfeng became open and honest.

From the eyes of the four people, Du Chengfeng can see that they are eager to be recognized and eager to have a real stage of their own.

Du Chengfeng sat up straight, looked at the four of them and said seriously: "In this way, I want to open two free schools in Chang'an City, so that some children of ordinary families and some young people who are willing to study can come to the school to study for free." ”

"I mean let the four eldest brothers each be in charge of a school, and you can choose the teachers of the school yourself, and I will provide all the expenses. I don't know what the big brothers think. ”

The people who can read in the Tang Dynasty are basically the children of aristocratic families, and there are also a small number of children of wealthy businessmen, and the education of ordinary people is basically poor and white.

Because ideological education is extremely low, the people lack the ability to judge social affairs, so it is easy to be provoked and used by people with good intentions, and the slightest incitement can erupt into a rebellion.

There have been many peasant uprisings in history: for this reason, such as King Li Chuang. In the end, it is ordinary people who are hurt.

An Anshi Rebellion almost lost nearly two-thirds of the population of China, and Du Chengfeng felt heartache every time he thought of these histories.

Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the ideological education of the common people, so that they will have at least the basic ability to make judgments and not be taken advantage of by reactionaries.

Because of the feudal ideology of Confucianism, the common people have very little information to understand. This is also extremely detrimental to the development of society.

The common people are accustomed to the present life, and they are running around every day to work for food and clothing, although this is more conducive to the rule of the imperial power, but it is also difficult for social civilization to progress.

The reason why Du Chengfeng wants to establish free schools is to make these schools like sparks and sow a batch of seeds of modern civilization in the land of Datang.

Break the long-standing ideological and cultural shackles and let the era of a hundred schools of thought contend, only in this way can social civilization develop rapidly.

If it is said that strong force is the guarantee of national security, then the rapid development of ideology and knowledge is the guarantee of social civilization and stability.

Of course, Du Chengfeng will not blindly oppose Confucian culture, Confucian culture has its unique cultural charm, so there are still many people advocating it until modern times.

At least Confucianism's 'self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world', Du Chengfeng agrees very much. This is a cornerstone of social stability.

Therefore, Du Chengfeng's teaching in the school will naturally not be a simple Confucianism.

He wanted to implement a modern education system and use it flexibly, popularize pinyin, modern Chinese characters and mathematics, and a modern ideological education system.

He wants to enable the people to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong, what is good for the country and society, and what is bad for the country and society.

And he Du Chengfeng will also become the pioneer of this education, and the four talents who followed him will naturally be famous for centuries as the promoters of the first batch of advanced education concepts.

The most important thing is that once the school is built and spreads among the people, it will definitely be a wave of greater prestige.

The only thing to worry about may have come from the obstruction of the family gate valve and Li Shimin's interference. Fast-eyed reading

However, Du Chengfeng believes that with his own strength, he believes that those families will definitely not be able to please him.

Li Shimin was worried that it would be detrimental to the development of his Tang Dynasty by falling into a relationship with the family too early, but he Du Chengfeng did not have this worry at all.

Most of the books of the Tang Dynasty are copied or engraved and printed to disseminate, and the cost of such books is too high, so most of the books are in the hands of the family gate.

And the family gate lord also took advantage of this to control most of the officials of the imperial court.

This has been the case for hundreds of thousands, so Du Chengfeng said to Li Shimin that the family gate valve has become the biggest tumor in Datang.

Du Chengfeng has advanced movable type printing technology in hand, so he doesn't worry about the cost of books at all, and he only pays some education costs and the cost of building a school.

Moreover, he can also attract some wealthy businessmen by raising donations to leave his name, and businessmen can also use this to improve their social status and civil prestige, which is simply a multiplicity.

"Free Academy?" The four were dumbfounded. Du Chengfeng's words were like dropping a bomb, which exploded in the hearts of the four people.

Such an initiative is absolutely unprecedented in the current Datang.

"Brother Chengfeng, are you serious? Didn't you kid us? Luo Mingchuan asked in surprise.

Du Chengfeng nodded heavily, and said very seriously: "Seriously, I'm very sure." As long as the four big brothers are willing, you are the pioneers of an era. ”

After listening to Du Chengfeng's affirmative words, coupled with the mysterious and unpredictable image that Du Chengfeng had created in their minds several times, the four of them unanimously made a firm decision in their hearts.

The four of them looked at each other for a moment, made eye contact, and this time it was Shi Yan who took the lead and said, "Brother Chengfeng, we are willing." ”

They don't care about the false name of one of the four great talents, but they are more willing to follow Du Chengfeng to make a real career.

The reaction of the four Du Chengfeng saw it in his eyes and did not disappoint him.

Perhaps in the eyes of many readers, the ultimate goal of reading is to become famous, that is, to enter the career of becoming an official.

What Du Chengfeng wants to do is to break this misunderstanding, the ultimate purpose of studying is not just to be an official, but to have more choices. At the very least, it is always good to be able to read and hyphenate words.

The four agreed, and Du Chengfeng's purpose was half achieved.

The next step is to let the four of them accept their own modern cultural education concepts and thinking methods. And then it's up to them to spread it.

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng took out the most prepared pieces of simplified Chinese characters written in Hanyu Pinyin and annotated in Hanyu Pinyin, as well as mathematical enlightenment materials, including the Ala Numbers and Ninety-Nine Multiplication formulas that he showed to the shopkeeper Lu before.

Du Chengfeng put these materials on the wooden table in the living room and said, "A few big brothers, please come and see, this is the first textbook I want you to teach, and I am still sorting out more in the future." ”

Hearing this, the four of them all started to come to Du Chengfeng's side, staring curiously at the information on the table that seemed to them to be completely heavenly books.

"Brother Chengfeng, we can't understand these textbooks you gave us at all." Wang Fufei scratched his ears and cheeks and said.

"It's okay, I'll teach you first." Du Chengfeng first pointed to the pinyin marked with 26 letters and explained them one by one.
