Chapter 170: University
This is the same old tune repeated, both in the East and the West have appeared Lu Feiqing's argument, at the beginning of the court someone suggested that the officials reduce the sedan chair from four to two to save expenses, but other officials were rejected on the pretext that it was the food and clothing of the sedan chair man, in ancient Rome, someone suggested to the emperor to build a canal to divert water into Rome, but the emperor scolded you for taking away the poor people's jobs. In the final analysis, this is because the agricultural society can not provide jobs for such a large number of laborers, once the labor force has no means to make a living, the world will be in chaos, the Song Dynasty every disaster must be selected from the people to enter the box, the Qing Dynasty knew that shipping is cheaper than Caoyun, but still choose Caoyun is because of this reason.
"They are all the people under the rule of my Red Flower Society, and I naturally won't let them be left without food and clothing." , Chen Jialuo clearly regarded himself as the ruler of Fuding County, "Mr. Gao's mines and factories need people, and in the future, he will need people to build water conservancy everywhere, not to mention that Xiangyong will continue to expand his recruitment." He didn't say anything like opening a textile factory, the Manchu Qing Dynasty admired science, and was very strict about the defense of men and women, and it was necessary to change customs step by step.
"Then I'm relieved, but this farm is a competent steward, where does the helmsman plan to find these people?" , Lu Feiqing asked again.
Chen Jialuo looked at the students who were listening, "Let's choose from the meeting, you go down and inform you, see if anyone is willing to help manage the farm in the meeting, and report your name to Mr. Dai." ”
After the meeting, taking advantage of the day to come to Zhuangzi, Chen Jialuo wanted to solve Dai Zhen's problem by the way; Walking outside the classroom, through the window, I saw Dai Zhen lecturing. Judging from the pattern text on the blackboard, this lesson should be about trigonometric functions, and the students at the bottom are listening to the lecture while using a quill notebook to write hard. It's a lot more serious than when I was in school. Waiting for a batch of graduates, the problem of artillery officers can be solved; But this goose feather note note doesn't seem to be very efficient, and I don't know if the pencil has been invented now? If not, arrange for Gao Zhisi and Yang Dewang to get it out.
Chen Jialuo did not interrupt Dai Zhen's teaching, stood outside the window and waited until the end of class before walking to the door of the classroom, chatting with Dai Zhen as he walked, "Are these children still obedient?" ”
"These are all good seedlings who want to learn, but unfortunately the chief helmsman refuses to let them study the scriptures. It's a pity! Dai Zhen sighed. Chen Jialuo's identity in Fuding naturally couldn't hide from him, but first, his fame had been removed, and the road to being an official was completely cut off, and secondly, he came to exchange hours with Gao Zhisi and Yang Dewang. He was fascinated by the advanced knowledge that came from Tessie, so he stayed for the time being.
I don't know how many times Dai Zhen raised the topic of teaching Confucianism in the classroom to Chen Jialuo, but how could Chen Jialuo agree, at the beginning of a period of time, politics and history in the school were taught by him personally, and during this time, he was a little busy, so he had to entrust these two courses to a few students with excellent grades, but the teaching materials and syllabus were strictly formulated by Chen Jialuo. At least at this stage, he did not want other doctrines to interfere with the thinking of the students. It's not that Confucianism is useless, it's just that in the current process of transforming from an agrarian society to an industrial society, Confucianism can no longer meet the requirements of the times. "I'll talk about this matter in a few days, but I came this time because I have other things to discuss with Mr. Dai."
Back to Dai Zhen's office. He took the homework book handed in by the students and asked while correcting it, "What does the chief helmsman have to tell you to find the late students?" ”
Chen Jialuo glanced a few times, found the teapot and teacup, and made a cup of tea for Dai Zhen before saying. "These days, Mr. Gao Yang and the two gentlemen are very busy, the mines, the school, the township, and the construction of the embankment have to bother the two gentlemen, and in a few days they will have to go to the countryside to build water conservancy, and the two gentlemen can't hold on even if they are iron! The younger brother wants to invite Mr. Dai out of the mountain. ”
"There are so many talents under the helmsman, why bother looking for me, a poor scholar who has achieved nothing!" , Dai Zhen did not raise his head. Quickly correcting homework.
Hey, it's most annoying to talk to you cultural people. One by one is not pretentious, "Although there are many members of my Red Flower Society, there is no one else except Mr. Gao Yang who has attainments in arithmetic and style. If Mr. Dai is willing to go out of the mountain, what needs to be done in the down, just ask! ”
"If I ask to add Confucianism to the class, will you agree?" , Dai Zhen was finally willing to put down the pen and raised his head.
"It's not that this matter is non-negotiable, it's just that the time has not yet come!" , Chen Jialuo also knows that this problem is unavoidable, even if he rejects Dai Zhen now, he still has to face it when he occupies a larger territory in the future, after all, Confucianism has been circulating in China for thousands of years, and it is not something that can be changed overnight.
"Huh? Don't know when is the right time? Dai Zhen didn't expect Chen Jialuo to agree to this request, but only hoped to use this to block him, but he didn't expect his answer to surprise him.
"In a few days, the ironworks should start working, and by that time there will be black smoke and thunder, and this place will no longer be suitable for school!" , Chen Jialuo did not answer directly, but talked about him.
"Then tear down the ironworks!" , Dai Zhen blurted out.
I'll fuck your uncle! Believe it or not, labor and management demolished you! Chen Jialuo's tone instantly cooled, "It's impossible to dismantle the ironworks, I'm just trying to vacate the classroom for craftsmen!" It looks like the classroom is going to be moved elsewhere. ”
Dai Zhen just reacted subconsciously, and when he saw Chen Jialuo's unkind tone, he hurriedly apologized, "It's the little brother who is abrupt, and the little brother is also worried about these students, and I hope the chief helmsman will forgive me." ”
"It doesn't matter. A few days ago, Mr. Gao Yang and I have already looked at the place, and now we want money and people, and we will definitely build a big school! Speaking of this, Chen Jialuo's tone revealed a hint of playfulness, "If Mr. Dai wants to teach Confucianism at that time, I will not object." Well, I won't directly oppose it, but when you're done, I'll criticize your lecture, as the saying goes, it's better to be blocked than to be sparse, anyway, students will have to face it sooner or later, it's better to let them see the essence earlier.
"Since that's the case, then I'll agree, and I'll go to Mr. Gao Yang." Dai Zhen was so excited that he immediately agreed to Chen Jialuo's request, and before he went out, he suddenly turned around, "What's the name of the new school?" ”
"Uh." , Chen Jialuo pondered for a moment, "What this academy wants to cultivate is the talent of the world, so it will be called the University of the World!" (To be continued)
