Chapter 259 [Hundred Schools of Thought? 】
"Whether it's a Legalist, a Confucian, or a Taoist who was born, you have to eat a full stomach before you can speak? When it comes to the foundation, I am afraid that there is no agriculture and industry. The old man thought that the students admitted to the hospital, regardless of whether they were men or women, were born high or low, and they had to learn to farm first."
"Farming? If the students taught by Fengming Academy all go to farming, what kind of face will they have as a gentleman? Xu Zi, needless to say, your theory of rejuvenating the country through agriculture is still needless to say, more grain can stabilize the people, and it can also make the ambitions of various countries frequent and cause continuous wars."
Everyone rolled their eyes together, and no one bothered Xu Xing, just continued to argue fiercely; Among them, the most fierce debate is the two schools of Confucianism and Law, although the public loses the Qing Dynasty, but does not participate in this senseless debate, in his opinion, it does not matter which classic the students of the academy study, ingenuity is the fundamental, the prosperity of the public loser, when in the Fengming Academy also.
The public loser can no longer stick to the rules, why he is always suppressed by the Mo family, is because he is unwilling to pass on his skills to people with foreign surnames, and even the side concubines in his own clan cannot get the true inheritance; If it goes on like this, it will never be possible, and now it is just right to use Fengming Academy to select the world's talents, and develop the skills of the public loser to the peak, what is the greatest wish of the ancestor Gonggong? Is it possible to make a great idea that can make a car faster than a galloping horse and a wooden bird that can fly in the sky?
"You don't have to fight anymore, although there are disputes in my view, there are also places to communicate. Although Confucianism and Legalism are the government of the court, why is the Mohist idea of loving Datong the ultimate goal pursued by Confucianism and Legalism? Taoism seems to be born, but it is actually to seek no contention in the world first, and then people do nothing, which is more like the rule of the vertical arch pursued by Confucianism. Therefore, the outer king and the inner law. Rule of law. Those who seek the law with virtue are the way to govern the country and the people."
"Do you stick to your own opinions, but do you get into the horns of the bull and the narrower the road you take? Meng Fuzi, please think about it, you said that 'the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light', how different is this from the Legalists' advocacy of 'the son violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people'? Shenzi and Zuo Shuchang are Legalists and celebrities, and the highest goal they pursue is 'the country is stronger when the monarch is clear, and the country is not weaker when the monarch is unknown'. This is the meaning of the hypocrite, whether there is a monarch or not, whether the monarch is the Duke of Zhou or Shang, will not have much impact on the country; Isn't it also derived from the Taoist saying of 'non-action'? Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, all roads can lead to the Zhou royal family, what we have to do is to plan these roads reasonably, so that they are connected to each other and become a shortcut, so why do you need to argue? ”
"Although Bai Zi's words are far-fetched, they are also very interesting"
listened to Bai Dong's words. Zhuzi Xuezong fell into deep thought.
The so-called authorities are obsessed, and Confucianism, law, and Mo have always been the three most hotly debated. But even if he is as virtuous as Meng Ke and Yan Jian, he will not really think about whether the hundred schools of thought have anything to do with each other, and sometimes he is influenced by other families, and he will never admit it, let alone Bai Dong has two thousand years of experience.
After the pre-Qin period, before Dong Zhongshu 'deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone', the rulers of the Han Dynasty had actually tried the method of 'integrating a hundred schools' to govern the country. Later generations only know that the early Han Dynasty respected Huang Lao's 'rule of non-action', but they did not know that Jiajia only put forward a slogan and goal of non-action, and did not have the means to achieve it; the so-called 'non-action' of the Han Dynasty was actually just an appearance, that is, the 'hypocrisy' of Legalism and the 'great rule of vertical arches' of Confucianism.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the means to achieve the rule of Wu Wei was 'the outer king and the inner law', the outer king was the king, and the inner was governed by the law; it was only with the lessons of the former Qin that the Han law was much gentler, and finally embodied the appearance of 'Wu Wei'. This is not the Taoist theory of inaction, but the three schools of Confucianism, Confucianism, Taoism and Taoism, supplemented by agricultural and industrial means of governance, so that the land of China can recuperate from years of war, and the two Han Dynasty have also won the world for 600 years, and 'Han' has become synonymous with the Chinese nation.
In Bai Dong's view, the hundred schools of thought were in the pre-Qin period, but they benefited the two Han Dynasty, but the historical practice of the Han Dynasty was not Meng Ke and Wei Ying, they could see it, this is the limitation of history, fortunately, these are contemporary sages, once they are poked open by themselves, it will inevitably cause them to think. It's okay if you can't accept it now, it's time to change them.
"What Bai Zi said is quite thought-provoking, according to your intentions, is it to recite the hundred schools of thought in the academy, there is no distinction between the main and the secondary? In this way, the entrance examination of this college is much more interesting."
Meng Ke is actually a great 'reformer', if Yan Jian and Qi Diao belong to the 'old Confucianism', he, a Confucian ~ main person who is almost self-reliant, is a 'new Confucian', and his brain is more flexible than Legalist figures like Wei Ying Shendao, so he has the deepest understanding of Bai Dong's words.
"Yes, the academy examination will directly exclude the scholars of the family, that is, those scholars who adhere to the doctrine of the family and the old ideas are difficult to break. Therefore, the sons and nephews of Mr. Yan's family can go to the academy to be gentlemen, but they can never be students."
Bai Dong's thinking is very strange, he takes hundreds of famous scholars as teachers, but he refuses to recruit students who are too obsessed to enter the academy, which makes it difficult for Yingquliang and Li Jiang to understand, but Meng Ke and they nodded slightly.
In fact, what Bai Dong wants is a blank piece of paper, it doesn't matter if you have read poetry and books, this is the basis for learning, but you can't fall into a family's opinion; Because once you have a prejudice in your heart, it is difficult to accept the education of the academy and become a great talent who can 'integrate with a hundred schools' in Bai Dong's ideals.
It is very difficult to integrate such a lofty thing as a hundred schools of thought in the eyes of the scholars, although this kind of thinking is quite exciting. As a stickler of the concept of a hundred schools, it is impossible for Meng Ke to study the three schools of Legalism and shout for them; Wei Ying and Shen Dao are even less likely to agree with the Confucian idea, what is Confucianism? In their eyes, Confucianism is the biggest liar.
Therefore, no matter how beautiful Bai Dong said, Zhuzi Xuezong would still strictly abide by his own philosophy, and would not try rashly. However, Bai Dong has the ambition to do this, it seems that he should be encouraged, and Bai Dong made it very clear that if they are willing to stay in the academy as teachers, they can spread their own doctrines, and if they really have the ability to pull students into the door, the academy will not stop them.
Where did this kid get his faith? But it doesn't matter if he can succeed or not, Fengming Academy is a good place, and living in this Fengming Courtyard is also extremely enjoyable. It is the privilege of the school to be able to preach and teach here; What's more, their curiosity has been aroused by Bai Dong. Now even Old Man Yan is suffocating. Didn't you say that we are just going to do it? My old man is older, and his energy may not be good, but he has a group of good sons and grandsons, and if you pick one of them, you can abduct half of your students, do you believe it or not?
This kind of mind Wei Ying also has, and it is more utilitarian than Lao Yan Jian. Although Fengming Academy is open to students from all over the world, Lao Qin students still have to account for the majority after all. If these people succeed, they will be the backbone ministers of Lao Qin in the future, and then they will all respect him as the admissions director and lead a 'teacher'?
It seems that Shen Dao's mention should still be considered, this time Yan Jian is here, Meng Ke and Qi Diao Miao are also here, I don't know if the Mo family and the Bing family will fight the idea of the academy? Today's biggest opponent is Confucianism, and the prudent Taoist is alone, and he can't sit idly by; Changing the law is important, but it is Lao Qin who is strong, and if he succeeds in running in the academy, he is strong
Wei said that he was not satisfied with just being an admissions director. If you want to use it up, throw it away, but there is no door. This loss cannot be eaten, so he also has to be one of the academy teachers; Wei Ying expressed his position, and Meng Ke, who originally had a wait-and-see heart, also made up his mind. It is good to be good in the country of Qi, the identity is transcendent, Tian Yinqi is also a teacher and friend with him, but unfortunately the people's hearts are not ancient, the holy way is aging prematurely, and his "people's noble" idea is at most a mouth cannon, and now the monarchs of various countries attach importance to domineering, and the most like to be able to strengthen the country and strengthen the army in a short period of time.
Bai Dong is a famous man in the world, or has a thunderbolt method, but he never holds a family opinion, now the world's scholars, no matter whether they are noble and poor, who will not write two official letters and chant a few new poems? And as early as half a month ago, Meng Ke and Shen Dao, who were in Qi State, had already heard the news that Fengming Academy was going to open a school, which showed that Bai Dong had done an excellent job in his homework; With his appeal, he didn't have to worry about not being able to meet a teachable son, which was what really attracted them to Lao Qin.
Seeing that these world-famous scholars have expressed their desire to stay in Fengming Academy, Yingqu Liang is really happy, but the widow wants to see who else dares to say that Lao Qin is endless, almost barbarian Rongdi?
He doesn't care which school the students taught by Fengming Academy in the future are, they are all talents! What happened to Confucianism? It is impossible to expect them to change the law to strengthen the country, and the royal way of thinking is a fart; But all the people who came out of Confucianism can be self-denying and courteous, honest and self-controlled, although they lack the courage of Wei Ying, they can still be competent to be a county commander or something.
Legalism collects the wealth of the world, Confucianism collects the heart of the world, the Mohists will draw a cake and lead the idea of the world's people, and the Gongjia is reasonable in improving the lives of the people of the world.
The fly in the ointment is the lack of military figures, and what Lao Qin lacks now is not only scribes, but also famous generals. There is no general in Guanzhong, and Che Yingzi'an is the vanguard, which is the eternal pain in Yingquliang's heart.
"Hehe, with the help of all the sons, Fengming Academy has been at its peak for a while. There is one thing I want to explain in advance, Fengming Academy will not employ people in vain, in addition to the gift of a good house, there are also teaching qualifications, Mr. Yan is calculated by 10,000 gold per year, and the rest of you are 8,000 gold per year. ”
Sugar-coated cannonballs are the most useful thing, Bai Dong has made up his mind to leave these great sages in Lao Qin, Fengming Academy is your home, and there is no need to think about it in the future.
Eight thousand gold a year is not a small number, no one will get along with money, Confucius traveled around the world and had no money to do it, and it wasn't Zigong who could pay out of his pocket? Hearing that Bai Dong was willing to pay, even Lao Yanjian smiled like a flower.
"Hehe, since you are the teachers hired by the college, you will only teach the students in the future, such as the management of the college and the curriculum arrangement of the students, that is the matter of the kid, and the test questions of this admission assessment, you don't need to ask, you shouldn't object, right?"
"We can't ask questions about the selection of students?"
Lao Yanjian glanced at Bai Dong: "You kid shouldn't have some weird questions to make it difficult for those students, right?" My old man can explain it first, if you recruit some students who don't make it, I won't teach! ”
