Chapter 199: Mind Learning Flourishes

Shi Bufan came out with Princess Runan and came to a relatively secluded place in the west of Chang'an City, where Shi Bufan asked Qin Jiarui to fund the establishment of a school here. The original heads www.biquge.info of the school were Ren Yaxiang and Xin Maojiang, but now it has become an editorial department. This editorial office is the editor of the extraordinary newspaper here, and it is also responsible for distribution. This newspaper is a mouthpiece used for propaganda in the future, and in ancient times, there was no censorship mechanism, so naturally no one would come to stop them from distributing newspapers and periodicals. There are even two libraries inside Chang'an, which have been opened. Shi Bufan also heard that businessmen are gradually funding the construction of libraries all over the country, and the library can be used to borrow books instead of buying books. In this way, in the future, poor students can read books by borrowing, and they do not need to spend too much to buy books, which can reduce the cost of reading.

"Princess Runan, you see this is Minglitang. And here, he is responsible for teaching the science of mind, and here he advocates that the heart is reason, and all reason comes from the heart. Therefore, understanding the conscience is also in the clear mind, understanding the conscience of people, and acting according to the conscience. Human beings have their own conscience, and when they are first born, they are saints, but they are deceived by external objects. As long as you can truly reach your conscience, no one in the world can become a saint, everyone can become Confucius and Mencius, and everyone can become Yao Shun. Therefore, this Mingli Hall is named by me, and I hope that everyone in the world can truly understand the truth and understand the truth in their hearts. Shi Bufan explained.

"Well, I will definitely study hard, and I can really read." Princess Runan said.

Shi Bufan walked into Mingli Hall, and then saw dozens of students. These dozens of students were all selected from the poor family, and the oldest was only ten years old. Even the teachers here are actually many students from the four disciplines who come to work part-time, not full-time teachers. Shi Bufan still has to pay for subsidies, but it represents hope.

"Mr. Shi, there are 32 children here. We wanted to recruit more children to study, but we couldn't recruit more. Because those big families secretly claim that our Minglitang is pseudo-learning, not manifest learning, and it is useless to learn it, and it is not possible to be an official, and it is not possible to get a penny. Therefore, the people are not willing to send their children to study, they would rather cultivate fields than come here. A student of four disciplines smiled bitterly.

Shi Bufan didn't care about this, Shi Bufan knew that many people at the bottom, especially rural people, had a relatively short-term long-term vision. This is not that the people in the countryside are looked down upon, but the reality is often the same, and they attach importance to practical interests, especially those that are visible. Those long-term interests are often difficult to see, and this is undeniable, regardless of whether the time does not discriminate against rural people.

Shi Bufan even heard in later generations that many rural people proposed that reading was useless, thinking that after studying, the income was better than going to work, so instead of spending money to study, it was better to go to work early. At that time, it was proposed that reading would change their fate, so many rural people had to go to university to save money. However, after graduating from university, many rural people also found that studying may not be able to enter the city, and may not be able to change their fate. Even with the opening up of urban and rural areas, a large number of rural people found themselves able to work in the cities. Therefore, they subconsciously think that reading is useless, because reading cannot bring wealth and cannot become rich.

In fact, this is utilitarian reading, which is completely utilitarian reading, and if you can't get benefits, you will naturally not want to read. There are even many people who see college students raising pigs and make a fortune as a result, so they give up going to college one by one to raise pigs. However, they obviously did not know that the college student who raised pigs adopted advanced management methods, adopted the experience learned from developed areas, and then adopted more advanced breeding methods to raise pigs, not traditional pig breeding methods.

Reading for the sake of utilitarianism is the reason why they are not enthusiastic about reading, and once reading does not let them see the short-term rich benefits, they are naturally unwilling to read. On the contrary, the people in the city, even if they are frugal, must read and read good books.

"It's a pity that more than 90 percent of the Tang Dynasty were peasants, and they were all peasants who didn't have much foresight, so naturally they couldn't have such foresight. But isn't this a person who has no reading and no long-term vision? Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan said: "You don't have to worry, this is Princess Runan, and she will study here in the future." She'll be here to study with you in the future, so don't bully her! ”

"What? Princess? These words immediately attracted everyone.

No matter who Minglitang was, they were all immediately attracted to it, because everyone felt that the princess was very mysterious. Even many rural people think that the royal family eats with a golden rice bowl and eats one bowl after another. It is this mystery that makes everyone feel that the princess royal is very inviolable. But now that he finally saw the princess, everyone was very surprised.

"Princess, are you a princess?" A boy of seven or eight years old was surprised.

"Hmm!" Princess Runan nodded.

The thirty-odd boys trembled one by one, apparently not knowing what to do.

"Okay, the princess will be your classmate in the future, don't bully her!" Shi Bufan then turned his head to Princess Runan and said: "Princess, don't play any princess temper in the future, as long as you can communicate well with them, don't discriminate against them, then I will cook for you once in the next ten days, what do you think?" ”

Hearing Shi Bufan's "food temptation", Princess Runan's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately.

And those boys couldn't recover for a long time, and this time they actually met the legendary princess, this is the emperor's daughter!

"Okay, I'll give you a three-day vacation today, you go back and calm down!" Shi Bufan said to the boys.

The boys immediately ran out excitedly and started shouting.

"Father, Mother, I have met the princess today!" "Father, mother, the princess will also study with us in the future!" "The princess also wants to learn the science of mind with us!" ……

As a result, soon the people in the south of the city also heard that the princess was coming to study and to study the mind, which really made them feel very excited.

"Did you hear that? The son of the old Liu family in the south of the city wants to be a classmate with the princess, which is really good! "Didn't that go to Mingrido to study? Aren't there many people who are pseudo-learning, and they can't make money and can't be officials after learning? If it weren't for the fact that Lao Liu's family was too poor and coveted that Minglitang to bear the child's meal money, they wouldn't have sent it! ”……

"Who said that Litang's mind is pseudo-science, if it is pseudo-science, will the emperor let the princess come to study?" "It can't be fake, right?" "Fake, who dares to pretend to be a princess in Chang'an, how many heads have grown?" "That's ...... too"

It didn't take long for the entire Mingli Hall to be crowded with people. Originally, they listened to the statements of those scholars of the scholar clan, saying that this Mingli Tang's mental study is pseudo-learning, and after learning it, not only will they not have money but also have no chance to become officials, so it is better to make money! But now that I heard that the princess actually came to study, who would dare to say that this mental science is pseudo-science? The study of the heart is definitely too good to be correct, otherwise how could the emperor send the princess over?

Now many people who didn't send their children to study at that time regret it, because they knew that the princess also came to study, so they should stuff themselves as children when they say anything. In this way, when he said it in the future, his face was bright, and his son and the princess were classmates. Even, if there is anything between classmates...... Mmmm, this one is a step to the top. Of course, although the probability of this is not high, even if you can be a classmate with the princess, it is a very lucky thing, you have face!

As for whether this study of mind has a future, there is no need to say this. Now that the emperor has sent princesses to study, who said that Xinxue will not have a future in the future? So they are now sending their children over to study, even if they are willing to post it upside down. With this Princess Runan as a signboard, according to this Minglitang, it has truly become a popular place. The enrollment place of this Mingli Hall is very crowded, but it is not extraordinary but it has raised the entry threshold, and no matter whether it is IQ or morality, you can't get in. And the entire people of Chang'an also hope to send their children to Mingli Hall to study, so many scholars are in a hurry.

"What's going on? This Minglitang is pseudo-science, it's pseudo-science! The literati of these scholars kept shouting.

Of course, these scholars don't want this psychology to continue to spread, although this psychology has a certain status in the eyes of the existing poor students, but it is not yet the mainstream. These warriors are unwilling to spread their minds, so they naturally want to resist them. They used the advantages of public opinion established earlier to slander Xinxue, so many people were very unoptimistic about Xinxue.

But now it's different, the princess actually comes to read and learn the mind, so will there be no future?

"I said that the study of the mind is pseudo-science, and you still read it?" A scholar of the scholar clan said angrily, these untouchables dared not listen to him, which made him very angry.

"This princess is here to read, so how can it be pseudo-science? And the princess is the emperor's daughter, the emperor! That's the Emperor's daughter! "It's a study that the emperor's daughters read, how can it be pseudo-learning?" "Hmm!"

Those scholars couldn't help but say: "What is the emperor, where is our noble scholars?" ”

Obviously, those scholars still think that they are noble, and these scholars look down on the emperor very much, and even the Li Tang royal family looks down on them, thinking that they are lower than themselves. However, their words are obviously in vain for a blind man to light a lamp.

"The emperor is supreme, the Son of Heaven!" "Yes! Who else in this world could be higher than the Emperor? "Scholars, how can they be higher than the emperor? The Emperor is supreme! ”……

Those scholars suddenly became angry, this ordinary people didn't know that the emperor was actually still subject to the scholars, and the scholars looked down on these Li Tang's royal families at all. Of course, this is only in the eyes of the scholars, but in the eyes of the high-level scholars. The so-called different identities look at things differently, and those scholars are high up and have the capital to bargain with the emperor, so they naturally look down on the emperor.

But those ordinary people are different, their limited knowledge tells them that the emperor is supreme, and the emperor is higher than the scholars. In fact, the amount of information they are exposed to is different, and people at a very high level in the scholar clan naturally look down on the emperor, because they know that the emperor depends on them to be able to rule. But the ordinary people don't know, although the ordinary people know that the influence of the scholars is huge, but they still think that it is the king who really holds the power and is the supreme. This kind of thinking has been going on for many years, and naturally it is impossible to change it easily.

However, these nobles said that they could not reverse these thinking, and the people still believed that the emperor was supreme, and that the emperor was higher than the scholars. Those scholars are actually like the behind-the-scenes sects in those Xianxia novels, although they control the court behind their backs on weekdays, but in fact ordinary people don't know it. Therefore, these people only know the imperial court, although they may know that there are some mysterious and mysterious scholars, but they still subconsciously regard the emperor as the supreme leader, the supreme. As for those scholars, they may have a strong influence in the consciousness of ordinary people, but they are not as good as the regular government and court.

Different levels of exposure to different things are different, perhaps only the court officials really know the influence of the scholars, but the common people think that the emperor is the supreme ruler. In this way, the knowledge that the daughters of the supreme rulers come to learn is naturally the best, and everyone thinks that it is the most promising. So this corporal clan is really in vain, they have always said that Xinxue is pseudo-science, and now Li Shimin's daughters have come to study, which is equivalent to a slap in the face.

"Uncle Cui, what should we do? If these people are allowed to learn this so-called science of mind, what will we do in the future? Once everyone has the opportunity to study, how can they get it? A young man of the Cui family said.

However, the man who was about fifty years old said lightly: "In this Chang'an, it is not good for me to come forward in person. However, since the person surnamed Cheng wants to marry my daughter, it is impossible not to do something, right? This Chang'an is too complicated, and it affects the whole body, so it's not good for me to take action personally. Since the person surnamed Cheng wants to marry the woman of our Cui family so much, then we will let him come forward. The daughter of our Cui family is not so easy to marry. Didn't the person surnamed Cheng always advertise that he was a scholar? Then we should contribute to our scholars, otherwise once this so-called mind science spreads, and once that library spreads, then our efforts will be in vain. (To be continued.) )
