"Forget every word you write, if you don't want to feed the sharks!" Sun Yuetang took the notebook, stuffed it into the small leather bag he carried with him, and patted it vigorously, looking very satisfied, and even the tone of intimidation of his subordinates became less severe.

"My subordinates understand!" Regardless of whether the tone was stern or not, no one would think that Sun Yuetang was joking at such a time. Don't look at him on the surface, he seems to be an old man who is still a little bit kind of kindness, but he is vicious and abnormal in his bones, and the successor cultivated by Cixi, if he has a little mercy, will not enter his eyes, let alone get mixed into this position.

Sun Yuetang went to find the merchants on the dock and muttered, Hong Tao didn't see it, even if he did, he would not see it, at this time he was accompanied by Wen Nan and Huang Sha, and a group of Great Song literati and Confucians. Fortunately, he is the emperor, so he doesn't need to have any etiquette requirements, just nod, smile, and say a long look up, if you can hug your fists, it's a big etiquette.

Otherwise, he really can't deal with these people, even if he has Wen Nan's help, it's no fun. Many of these people have never seen all kinds of etiquette, even ancient rites, and they don't know how to return the gift. Once you are at a loss, these old guys will look down on you in their hearts, and then they will habitually stop listening to you and say anything else, and they won't believe you when you say it.

However, Hong Tao did not show weakness, he had a hard time dealing with these Great Song literati, and similarly, it was not so easy for these Great Song literati to deal with foreign scholars such as Said. The most hateful thing is that Hong Tao did not let the interpreter perform the on-site translation, but he acted as the interpreter himself, which not only did not arouse the suspicion of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty, but made them feel extremely respected. No matter what Hong Tao said for a while, they all planned to give this emperor who knew how to lower his stature and respect scholars a little face, and they had to listen to a few words.

But if these people knew about Hong Tao's plans and what he was doing, they would definitely spit on Hong Tao's face, whether he was the emperor or not. Because this emperor is too dirty, too insidious, and too shameless in his heart. As an emperor, he is actually taking advantage of the convenient opportunity of translation to create contradictions between the two sides. Although these foreign scholars spent some time in the Great Song Dynasty and can speak a little Chinese, it is still very easy for them to misunderstand certain words and phrases, and they only need to change the order of arrangement, or even change the pause.

Therefore, under Hong Tao's covert operation, the hearts of these foreign scholars were soon filled with dissatisfaction and anger, they thought that these Great Song literati were too blind to anyone, and they were not just ignorant on many academic issues, and it was not too much to say that a bottle was less than half a bottle. In view of this situation, the eight foreign scholars led by Said, have regarded this symposium as a battlefield to justify their own name and fight for the truth, and they will fight to the end with these Great Song Dynasty colleagues! And resolutely defend their honor!

"Your Majesty, you don't seem to be very strict in your choice of words." The other eight foreign scholars must have thought so, but Said, a guy with a great talent for languages, not only was he not fooled, but he also seemed to have heard something from Hong Tao's words, and then whispered to Hong Tao in Latin for verification.

"Wow, Said, you know the word rigor! This is not the vocabulary of the Great Song people...... Oh, you learned it from the officers on the ship, right? Okay, you took advantage of my absence to secretly engage in intelligence work among my officers, do you know what this is called in the Great Song Dynasty? He is called a fine work, and he is to be put to death! "Hong Tao is not afraid that Said will hear it, as far as his current identity is concerned, it is okay for anyone to hear it, does anyone dare to accuse himself of sowing discord in person? Don't want to leave this island yet!

"It's not me who goes to be a small worker, it's they who take the initiative to talk to me. Most of His Majesty's officers were very knowledgeable and very studious and intelligent, and I wonder how His Majesty selected them. Said is also a man who has traveled from south to north and has seen more than one emperor and king, and he is more comfortable with this kind of big scene than Hong Tao. He was able to greet the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty in a proper manner, and at the same time chatted with Hong Tao in Latin, without delay on both sides.

"There is no deliberate selection, it's just that the concept of education is different. In my country's schools, since primary school, the teaching content is not very much, mainly play, but not blind play, but through play to let them understand some truth. For example, collectivism, observance of the law, freedom of thought, the right to pursue happiness and ideals. After entering middle school, there will be more basic courses, such as mathematics, geometry, physics, geography, foreign languages, etc. The purpose is not to make them such scholars, but to equip them with the ability to learn on their own, to encourage them to read more books and develop in the direction they like. ”

"It's easy to get into Imperial University, you just need to pick two courses and pass the exam. Graduating from university is even simpler, you only need to learn more and understand the two courses you have chosen, and you can graduate by passing the exam. This method is only suitable for richer countries, such as mine, and I hope that every child in the empire will have the opportunity to go to university, and I will try to create a relatively level playing field for them, so that more talents with different priorities will have the opportunity to show. ”

"If you have more contact with the graduates of the nautical school, you will find that many of them are extremely biased. Some children are very good at math and physics, but it is difficult for them to write something, at most it can be understood by others, and the style and content are miserable, and it is not as good as the articles of ten-year-old children in the Song Dynasty. Some children are more proficient in astronomy and geography, can speak several Chinese, understand the environment of many countries, and are willing to delve into these issues. But let them calculate the force of a set of pulleys, and they may not be able to calculate a result for half a year. This outcome was not their choice, but I did it on purpose. Said's question is very big, involving educational methods and educational philosophies and even the internal character of the country, I can't finish a sentence or two, but fortunately, there are still half of the people left in the meeting with these Great Song Dynasty scholars who have not greeted them, so they can talk slowly.

"Was it intentional? Why? Wouldn't it be better to make them more knowledgeable? Said's thought could not be understood, although he mainly studied philosophical issues, but he had a wide range of knowledge, including medicine, mathematics, history, geography and even simple chemistry, so he could not imagine how a person with one leg and one leg was particularly short could walk faster than others.

"I think that the time of a person's life is limited, and everyone's brain development is different, it is impossible for everyone to have a mind like you, and it is impossible for everyone to have conditions like you. Instead of dabbling in countless things in your life, seeing everything and not being proficient in anything, it is better to find something you love to do and then do it to the extreme. ”

"Whether it's studying or working, being able to do what you like is the biggest motivation, and the efficiency will be very high. In the future, you will slowly find that my empire is a big collective, advocating mutual balance, mutual containment, and mutual compensation. In this country, the birth of geniuses is allowed, but more often than not, everyone does not pursue individual perfection, but only needs to make the most of their strengths, and the remaining shortcomings will be made up by others. ”

"This point Jin Heguo and the Great Song Dynasty are just the opposite, they are two different concepts, which is good or bad cannot be judged in a short period of time, let time measure slowly, the length of this time may not be visible to you and me." In fact, a country's educational ideas are the harbingers of the country's future. The kind of people you want to educate your people will become, and the character of the country will be the same as the character of the people.

"Your Majesty has a lot of sense, but no one has ever tried this kind of thing, isn't Your Majesty afraid of failure?" Said's words are already very subtle and polite, if you put it bluntly, he is asking Hong Tao: Do you have a sense of responsibility? There are so many people in a country, you tell me that you are trying to play, and you don't know the result yet!

"Hehe, Lao Sai, you have learned badly, and you are no longer the pure scholar who used to say whatever you want, I don't like this very much. What you just said should be asked from a different angle, which can better show your unique brain. You should say that Your Majesty is a pioneer in the development of mankind, leading the people of Jinhe Country to take a road that no one has walked before, and once this road is successful, it will leave a rich legacy to the entire human race. ”

"Remember, as a scholar, you have to have an independent, radical mind, and you have to be calm, rigorous, and meticulous in your research, but you have to have a pioneering spirit as a pathfinder. If we all followed the path of our predecessors, there would not be so many Christian countries, Arab countries, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. All of us should chase wild beasts in the jungle naked, with branches and stones, not even fire! ”

"Exploring new territory is not an unwarranted adventure, at least my country, my idea is now considered a success, and this pattern will continue for decades, right?" Before he could start talking, Hong Tao warmed up with Said first. The two organs of the mouth and the brain are more and more flexible, through these few minutes of activities, Hong Tao feels that he has a lot to say, and it is no longer difficult to give a speech for a while, and he can't finish it in a day, and he has to take care of a few meals.

Looking at the black pressure in front of him, Hong Tao had a smile on his face, but his heart was bleeding! How much do these people have to eat? You can't fool them with noodles yet. Fortunately, there are donations from maritime merchants, otherwise even if they rub their hands together, they can't help but throw money out like this.
