The layman leads the insider, politics replaces the profession, and he is bent on flattering...... The real shortcomings of officialdom were vividly demonstrated in the dispute over the return to the river. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Drunkards, courtiers, and princes, all of whom are disciples of Confucius and Mencius, learn Confucianism, poetry and songs, and literary attainments, which are the best in the past dynasties. However, Confucius did not tell people how to govern the river, and Master Meng did not teach future generations how to manage money, as for astronomy, calendar, arithmetic, surveying and mapping, geography, and engineering...... It's even more not, just because you can be a man, can you be a good official? Can merely having a noble character make the country rich and the people rich? ”

"In the pre-Qin period, Confucian disciples still learned the six arts, and the poets and Confucian scholars of the Han and Tang dynasties could not carry three-foot swords to defend the border for the country and fight on the battlefield. In the Great Song Dynasty, Chengping was a hundred years old, Wen Tian was martial arts, and the Confucian scholar Hao was poor, and he could no longer kill people with a sword, and he was reluctant to do it himself, so he only knew that he would make a car behind closed doors and sit in a well to watch the sky. If half of the ministers above the court were willing to walk along the Yellow River, take up a ruler, measure the drop of the river, and observe the water situation, they would definitely not support the absurd idea of restoring the old road! ”

Wang Ningan said heavily: "Drunkard, I don't dare to slander Confucian scriptures in my later life, but I think that relying on the scriptures and righteousness alone is far from enough, and the imperial court needs professionals in all aspects. The drunkard should pick up this burden and cultivate really useful talents for the Great Song Dynasty, and he is willing to do his best to assist Mr. ”

After listening to Wang Ning'an's tirade, Ouyang Xiu was shocked.

Wang Ningan gave him a whole new perspective.

In the past, Ouyang Xiu always thought that Xia Wei and others advocated returning to the river, which was selfish, ignoring the common people, being villains, and traitors...... As for Fu Bi and Han Qi, they didn't speak up and didn't advise the emperor, they just met the evil of the king, lost their backbone, and were very hateful!

It was precisely because of disappointment that Ouyang Xiu wanted to resign and not do it, and not to go along with them.

But Wang Ning'an's words made Ouyang Xiu think more.

Since the establishment of the imperial examination system, as long as the scholars are good, they can shepherd one side and rule the world, which is not wrong, but is it only possible to write articles?

The children of Confucianism always preach that they know everything and know everything, understand the way of sages, and learn the most profound knowledge, and other things are not easy to grasp.

Ouyang Xiu used to be convinced, but these days, the deep-rooted concept has been completely shaken.

Wang Ze rebelled, in the face of thousands of men, he was helpless, in the face of the diversion of the Yellow River, he wrote several times, but he sank into the sea, useless at all.

In the final analysis, the study of saints teaches people to be human beings and officials.

Only he didn't teach people to do things! Do the real thing!

Officials think about the gains and losses, the hat on their heads, and the position under their buttocks, take Fu Bi and Han Qi as examples, a few years ago, they were the cadres of the Qingli New Deal, regardless of gains and losses, and devoted themselves to the country...... After the setbacks, they relented, became gentle and elegant, and behaved moderately, which can be called the standard Zaifu.

In the battle for returning to the river, they no longer think about the common people, so what if they fail, anyway, there is Xia Wei on top, and if they succeed, it is just Jia Changchao picking up cheap......

The bad thing in the world is that the party is the same and the different!

If you want to treat a chronic disease, the best way is to be professional.

"Drunkard, in fact, it is not difficult to stop the repair of the Liuta River, as long as the river drop is calculated, and the flow of the Yellow River, a foot long foot, you can't wear half-foot shoes, right? The reason why there are many difficulties is that the scholars of my Great Song Dynasty lack a pragmatic spirit, and if they rely on imagination, rely on a hot head, rely on emotional enthusiasm, lack of rational thinking, and follow the crowd blindly, a lot of problems will appear. ”

Ouyang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his old face turned red.

When he first arrived in Cangzhou, Wang Ningan debated with him about the new policy of Qingli, and this time Wang Ningan's words pointed out more important issues.

At the beginning, a few ministers were not just to wash away the shame of the Western Xia, eager to enrich the country and strengthen the army, from the emperor to the common people, their heads were hot, and they threw out a lot of new policies, grabbed their eyebrows and beards, and ended hastily...... If we had been able to carefully study and scrutinize back then, really visit the people, make efforts to study, and put forward a more appropriate strategy, the Qingli New Deal might have been implemented, and the Great Song Dynasty might have been prosperous......

Thinking of this, Ouyang Xiu felt more and more that Wang Ning'an's proposal was too good.

Running!

Run a school like never before!

Not only to teach the students the meaning of the sage, but also to teach them the astronomical calendar, military books and strategies, arithmetic and medicine, in short, all useful knowledge, all can be learned!

Ouyang Xiu muttered to himself as if he was crazy, his face was red, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and he was trembling with excitement, he finally figured it out, and the knot in his heart that had been troubled for many years was opened.

Three minutes on stage, ten years off the stage.

Qingli New Deal is an immature premature baby, and it is inevitable that he will die young.

If we want to save the country and the people, we must start with education and cultivate talents...... Wang Ning'an, this kid is really a ghost, he named himself the direction!

Ouyang Xiu grabbed his goatee, and his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

……

"It's done!"

Wang Ningan also smiled happily and brightly, before the Yellow River burst its banks, he fooled Ouyang Xiu, hoping that the old man would run a school in Cangzhou.

He wants to develop his business and train to make money, no matter which one he wants, he can't do without literate talents. However, Cangzhou is a cultural desert, lacking Confucianism, if Ouyang Xiu can run a school in Cangzhou, the old man's banner will be raised, and talents from all over the world will gather in Cangzhou, and they can wake up with a smile in their dreams.

Since the imperial court insisted on returning to the river, Wang Ningan's pitiful desire to serve the country has disappeared, and he told Ouyang Xiu that this is completely a painting cake to satisfy hunger.

A academy is the best to change the Great Song Dynasty, if it can't be changed, there is nothing to lose, the key is to cultivate enough talents for the cause of the Wang family.

The poor drunkard was still in a daze, and he didn't see through Wang Ningan's sinister intentions, but became a working boy of the Wang family.

The old master didn't want to be diligent, and when he arrived in Cangzhou, he didn't even look at his son, and went directly to the City God Temple.

This piece of land is quite interesting, it was donated to Bao Zheng by Cui Yu at the beginning, and later Wang Ningan got it and wanted to use it to run a school, but Ouyang Xiu walked around and kept shaking his head.

"It's too small, it's too small. Since it is necessary to teach all kinds of knowledge, there must be at least a stargazing platform, a racecourse, and agricultural mulberry water conservancy. The old master smiled, "Wang Erlang, don't you want to fully support the old man, can you do what I said?" ”

"Yes!"

Wang Ningan gritted his back molars and said, "Drunkard, I built the school, and the lecturer depends on you." ”

"No problem, the old man can still invite this person."

Ouyang Xiu had a big package, but when he looked at the new site of the school, his jaw dropped suddenly.

Wang Ning'an chose a location near the Wild Wolf Valley, and demarcated a total of three valleys, there is a stream more than two chapters wide in front of the mountain, sandwiched between the valley and the stream, there are almost 1,000 acres of open land, and there is no end in sight. The tribes of the Wang family, the people of Tuta Village, the members of the Bow and Arrow Society, and the young men who came back with Wang Liangjing were all involved.

First the trees and weeds were cut down, then the mixed soil was covered with a mixture of three-fold soil, and flattened with stone rollers, and a clearing large enough for horses to run came out.

Next to the valley, there were rows of houses, and Ouyang Xiu's eyes were dazzled.

"How many people are you going to pretend?"

"Of course, the more the merrier." Wang Ningan said with a smile: "I heard that drunkards are studying, who doesn't come to cheer!" More than 3,000 people have already signed up, and with the appeal of Mr., it is much stronger than Wang, as long as you climb the heights and shout, the world will respond ......"

"Shut up!"

Ouyang Xiu is too lazy to listen to Wang Ning'an's nonsense, Bianjing Taixue is only 3,000 students, Wang Ning'an, this kid has made 3,000 people, he wants to exhaust the old man!

Without saying a word, hurry back, write a few more letters, and ask for help as soon as possible.

Looking at Ouyang Xiu's back, Wang Ningan couldn't be more proud.

Who dares to underestimate my subordinates in the future, the Wang family's subordinates are all disciples of the leader of the literary world, and the senior brother of Su Dabeard, who has a lot of face!
