Chapter 7 Another Harvest
Regarding this matter, Gao Ye argued with Cai Yong and Xun Jing for a long time. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Gao Ye feels that all schools of thought have their own uniqueness, which cannot be abandoned, and Confucianism also has its shortcomings, and inclusiveness is the right reason. It's just that Cai Yong is worried that Gao Ye and the academy's behavior will be criticized by the famous Confucian, not to mention that the exclusive respect for Confucianism is an order personally issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the royal attitude is only afraid that he will not approve of it.
"Now that His Majesty is controlled by Li Dao and Guo Yan in Chang'an, he can't even express his attitude, what is there to be afraid of?" Gao Ye sneered, seeing that Cai Yong and Xun Jing, the two loyal people, had a tendency to go crazy, he hurriedly changed his words and said: "What's more, when Gao Zu pursued the technique of Huang Lao, Emperor Wu can change it, and His Majesty can also change it now." β
However, Xun Jing was not so pessimistic, or he didn't pay attention to the possible challenges at all. Therefore, he smiled and said: "I see, let hundreds of people come to the academy to teach, but when I look at their classes, I can let the students choose to go or not." β
Gao Ye was stunned when he heard this, this guy can, he can even think of such a magical idea as an elective. At this time, Gao Ye couldn't help but think a little more about Xun Jing's wisdom and management ability. I only heard Xun Jing continue: "Besides, Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism is very different from Confucius and Mencius's Confucianism. Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism is more compatible with the doctrines of a hundred schools, whether it is Taoism, Moism or Legalism, you can find a shadow from Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism and Taoism, so there is no problem in opening these courses in schools. β
Xun Jing was right, when Dong Zhongshu gave the beauty of Confucianism to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he just put on a Confucian coat for the beauty. And this beauty is based on "Ram Spring and Autumn", combining the religious Tiandao concept since the Zhou Dynasty with the doctrine of yin and yang and the five elements, absorbing the ideas of Legalism, Taoism and yin and yang, and establishing a set of imperial theological system. The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism was really because he took a fancy to the Confucian doctrine of governing the country with etiquette and music? Of course not, it's just that Dong Zhongshu's set of theories not only makes his rule more legal, but also makes everyone who studies Confucianism engrave loyalty and patriotism in their minds. Therefore, the theory he proposed, whether it is the induction of heaven and man, or the three outlines and five constants, is actually put forward for the idea of the ruler ruling the people, how could Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not be happy with such a good theory?
Since Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism can exist by integrating the theories of a hundred schools, why can't his own academy invite people from other schools to expound their thoughts? This is the most basic idea in Xun Jing's heart. It was also this idea that Cai Yong was speechless, coupled with Gao Ye beating the side drum on the side, Cai Yong finally agreed with Xun Jing's idea. Let them take elective courses, and when no one goes to class, they will die down themselves.
However, Gao Ye never looked at it this way, and when he was building a library, he could be watched by students, and more curious people were "ashamed to ask", and they were very interested in the crane arm and the structure of the house. As long as Gong Yanyan starts a class and talks about some mechanical knowledge in physics, Gao Ye believes that there will be no shortage of people who go to his class. Gao Ye believes in the doctrine of a hundred schools, and the attraction of students is definitely no worse than that of Confucianism. Besides, now that we are in troubled times, is the Confucian set of theories and ideas really of any use in this era?
The matter of the hundred schools was agreed, but Gao Ye proposed to establish primary schools in each county, so that all school-age children should enter the primary school as much as possible. This proposal was even more appreciated by Cai Yong. After all, he is educating everyone, there is no class, and the real ideal in his heart is to transform the people. As for Xun Jing, he felt that such a thing was irrelevant. Even if all the people go to study, how many people can occupy a place in the officialdom like the children of the family? After all, being an official is important, but connections and relationships are also indispensable. Now even if he is a poor scholar, he can't compete with the family, let alone a group of people? However, Gao Ye also said that now it is a troubled time, so he can only do his best. Fortunately, what I have is money, and it shouldn't be difficult to do this in Yingchuan. If you want to really promote it throughout the country, you have to wait for Cao Cao to calm down the world.
The meeting of the three of them lasted from the afternoon to midnight, and even the dinner was settled in the conference room. In fact, there are not many things, but no matter which one it is, Gao Ye puts forward an idea, Cai Yong and Xun Jing have to argue, and finally reach an agreement, and then discuss the next thing. But the point is that the two of them often go off topic while talking, and the worst thing is that Gao Ye sometimes can't hear it, thinking that their digression is alluding to something, which makes this conversation last so long.
Therefore, I finally returned to Gao Ye in my small building, and I didn't even have the desire to talk to Cai Yan and Ying'er, I talked too much and listened to more today, which has exhausted Gao Ye. I almost fell asleep in bed. Of course, the result was the math class on the second day of high night, completely unprepared and unsure of what to say. Fortunately, most of them were new faces, which made Gao Ye feel at ease a little. In this class, for a whole hour, high night, I was talking about Arabic numerals, as well as addition and subtraction. This is the first time that Gao Ye has moved out such a mathematical killer as Arabic numerals, and he was reluctant to teach everyone before, mainly because Gao Ye was worried that these advanced knowledge would be learned by enemy talents, which would bring greater obstacles to things like pacifying the world. But now, Gao Ye thinks that if you learn to walk, you can learn to go, and the knowledge that everyone will know is no different from everyone who can't.
Moreover, Yingchuan is now under Cao Cao's rule, and after Cao Cao moves the governance office to Yingyin, the students who want to come to these academies will choose to work under Cao Cao nearby. After all, they are all Yingchuan people, and the difficulty of leaving their homeland is not just talking.
After more than ten days of lectures in a row, he is now waiting outside the workshop of the academy with Cai Yong and Xun Jing. Speaking of which, Gao Ye never thought that there would be such a magical thing as a workshop in the academy. When I asked, I found out that it was because it was convenient to build a college, so several brick kilns and cement kilns were built in the academy to facilitate the production and transportation of materials. It's just that the land of the academy is too big, so it's barely in the academy. But for Gao Ye, such a workshop is like a laboratory in a university in later generations. The raison d'Γͺtre of the lab is to allow designers to build, experiment, and validate their ideas through a variety of equipment. Now that Gao Ye and the three of them are outside the door, isn't it just to verify the new ideas proposed by Gao Ye?
Of course, for others, this high night idea. But for Gao Ye, this is just plagiarizing Bi Sheng's creativity. As a Chinese, how can you not know that movable type printing is one of the four great inventions of ancient China, which is famous at home and abroad? Now that the papermaking technique he copied from the book has made the Cao family and the Xiahou family make a lot of money, and Cao Cao has also been favored by many scholars because of this, and he has come to serve. Now that printing is out, whether it is the academy or Cao Cao, the reputation and prestige will definitely rise to a higher level. The appearance of paper can be said to have made the heavy bamboo slips withdraw from the stage of history, and the original dozens of volumes of books are now only thin dozens of pages. Nowadays, the emergence of printing technology has made expensive books cheaper, after all, it has always been rare and expensive, how can the efficiency of copying books compare with the efficiency of printing books?
If there are more books, the price will naturally drop, so that even ordinary people can afford to buy and read books, which also achieves the purpose of high night. As for Xun Jing and Cai Yong, they pay more attention to the preservation and promotion of books, and things like price are not in their consideration at all. Also, college scholars always talk about money, which is not enough to shame people's money.
Compared with Gao Ye's eagerness to know the cost, Xun Jing and the others wanted to know if such a method could be successful. Listening to Gao Ye's explanation of the principle, they also felt that it was quite feasible, but there was always a huge gap between what could be said and done, and many things that were easy to say were not easy to do.
The three of them sat around the stone table outside the workshop, except for Gao Ye, who looked calm and relaxed, and the other two people were looking at the door of the workshop with anxious faces. Gao Ye's heart is very calm, "Mengxi Pen Talk" clearly records the production process of Bi Sheng's movable type printing number, although later generations did not find Bi Sheng's movable type, or printed books. However, there are Li Yao in Suzhou and Zhai Jinsheng in Anhui in the Qing Dynasty, according to the records in "Mengxi Pen Talk", the matter of making clay movable type and printing books is in the past, and Gao Ye feels that there is absolutely no problem in letting the public say that they are such talents.
In fact, as soon as the door opened, the public with dozens of pieces of paper walked straight to the three of them, and before the salute was finished, the pile of paper in his hand was snatched by Xun Jing and Cai Yong. Only Gao Ye smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Hard, how is it, that clay type is still strong and easy to use?" After all, Gao Ye suddenly remembered that some scholars in later generations seemed to have said that clay movable characters have the shortcomings of fragility and slag, so it is better to ask carefully.
"Back to the lord, the clay type is strong and reliable, and there is no problem at all." Gong Yiyan smiled, "Although it took the old man a lot of time to find the right match, but fortunately, he lived up to his mission and led to clear words." β
Xun Jing, who was on the side, was also extremely excited at this time, applauding repeatedly, and even Cai Yong nodded frequently, saying something with eyes in the sky. Especially after Gong Yan said that it only took him three hours to complete the dozens of pages from typesetting to printing, the two old men were completely speechless with excitement.
In the end, Gao Ye patted Gong's shoulder and said: "Okay, I have a copy of Bo Jiaogong's hand-copied "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", you take someone, just engrave it according to Bo Jiaogong's handwriting, and engrave a few more words in it." Those commonly used words are even more engraved. Whether our family can make a lot of money next year depends on you! β
