Sun Hedou would never have thought that an ordinary after-dinner walk between himself and Shiyun would cause such a big spiritual shock to another woman.
This walk after dinner was originally disdainful of him, not to mention that he had to bring his favorite concubine with him - although the second son of the Sun family is a practical scholar, no matter how close to life is practical learning, he still involuntarily classifies himself as a scholar, and he looks down on the custom of the eldest man who is full of food and takes his daughter-in-law to wander around the streets and chatter, thinking that this is really insulting.
This kind of contempt and disdain is not only in living habits, but also in the sense of superiority of readers. "Everything is inferior, only reading is high", thousands of years of exclusive respect for Confucianism have deeply immersed pride and prejudice in the marrow of the saint's disciples, regardless of whether the disciples believe in science or mind.
Whether it is a craftsman, an apprentice in a shop, or even a shopkeeper and a bookkeeper who can write and calculate, in the eyes of these saints and disciples, they are all pulled into the "inferior grade" - those who can read and write are considered scholars? Joke! If you haven't read the Five Classics thoroughly, and you can't make the Eight Strands, can you be considered a reader?
That is, Xumen originated from the Taizhou school of Yangming Xinxue, and this school is precisely the most down-to-earth, focusing on enlightenment from the daily life of the people, so the contempt for ordinary people is much lighter than that of other saint disciples; Xumen students pay more attention to practical learning, which requires the help of craftsmen to make the students' research verified, so if it comes to the psychological gap of identity and status, Xumen students can be said to be the smallest among Confucian students.
Because of this, Sun Hedou and his junior brothers, nephews and nephews—in the past six months, Xu Guangqi has sent two batches of more than 20 Xumen students to Tamluo, greatly enriching Sun Hedou's teaching and research team—in order to integrate into the lives of the craftsmen, and gradually accept some habits that they were not used to in the past, such as taking a walk after a meal to eat.
Sun Hedou now wears three hats, first as the technical director of the East India Company, and he is in charge of the standardization and the collation, recording, and improvement of production processes in almost all the production departments of Ushijima and Tamna. As the stalls on the two islands became bigger and bigger, Sun Hedou was very busy, and it was still under Chu Fan's suggestion that he set up three new departments: the Standardization Department, the Technical Specification Department and the Research and Development Department, enriching the junior brothers and nephews from the mainland, and even promoting dozens of young craftsmen who knew how to read and write very quickly, which was enough to promote the work; The research and development department is actually a research institute, dedicated to the research and development of various new processes and new products, but the leader is not Xumen students, but the sloppy Taoist Lingxuzi who successfully completed the prospecting task of Kyushu Island - after the old Taoist came back from Kyushu, he plunged into the new laboratory, whether it was chemistry or physics, all kinds of experiments were done darkly, but Sun Hedou saved a lot of heart.
Sun Hedou's second identity is the mountain chief of the Tamna Academy. The students of the Tamna Academy come from the outstanding students in the various primary schools all over the island, and after passing the qualification examination, they will further systematically study Confucianism, arithmetic, chemistry, physics and other practical subjects, as well as military science, agriculture and official studies, etc., and the first batch of more than 200 students has been enrolled - at the beginning, Sun Hedou thought that this Tamna School was the same as the Taixue in Beijing City, which was to train preparatory officials for the Tamna royal court; It wasn't until he finally finished preparing the school with great difficulty, especially after a few in-depth discussions with Chu Fan, that he realized that his understanding could be described as a thousand miles wrong.
According to Chu Fan's thinking, the Tamna Academy is still just a transition, after two to three years of studying here, the students will be shunted into the Normal College, the Institute of Technology, the College of Agriculture, the College of Medicine and other professional colleges to continue their studies, of course, before that, the army school, the naval school and the staff school of the Fuliao Army system must be selected once, and the best talents will be selected into the Fuliao Army.
What made Sun Hedou even more dumbfounded was that the highest university planned by Chu Fan was called the Central University Hall, and the students who were lucky enough to be admitted to it would be taught by the top experts in various subjects, and they would study and research at the same time, and by the time they graduated, they would definitely be the best in their field. And Chu Fan's positioning of the Central University Hall, "a hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers bloom", that is to say, not only practical learning, but also all Confucian schools, including science, as long as they are willing to teach, the Central University Hall will open its door.
This made Sun Hedou both excited and puzzled: what is exciting is that with such a university hall, the prosperity of practical learning is just around the corner; What is puzzled is that Cheng Zhu Lixue, the nemesis of this sect, has decayed into that appearance, is it necessary to leave a place for him?
Chu Fan's answer to this made Sun Hedou ashamed, the so-called "reason is not clear", the so-called "academic dispute, the more you fight, the purer it becomes", the so-called "fair governance", your own things are hard, are you still afraid of arguing with your opponent? Since you dare to open the door to run a school, you don't have to be afraid of others smashing the hall!
is so bright and upright, so that Sun Hedou feels that his uncle is not wronged: he has such a heart and bearing at a young age, and he looks at many great Confucians all over the world, how many people can compare?
If the first two positions made Sun Hedou busy and happy, then his third position, Cao Zuo, a court official of Tamna, made him a little confused and even resentful.
The Licao Zuo Senju is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's Rite Department Zuo Shilang, and the Licao Juju, which is equivalent to the Shangshu, is an old minister of Tanluo, just a decoration, and the real power is all in the hands of Sun Hedou, the Zuo Senju. It stands to reason that Sun Hedou should be very happy when the power is in his hands, but Chu Fan's series of reforms to Licao made Sun Hedou unclear.
Like the Ming Dynasty, one of the most important functions of Licao is the imperial examination, that is, the selection of officials or reserve officials through the academy examination, the township examination, the meeting examination and even the palace examination. Chu Fan's reform did not cancel these exams, but changed the content of the exams beyond recognition - the unified Baguwen was canceled, and officials at all levels had different exam content according to different departments, such as the director of the police station at the township level, whose exam content was not only the written test "Tamluo Law", but also the three things of running, weightlifting and martial arts! In many positions of Gongcao, there are almost no written exams, and the main test is the actual operation of various craftsmen!
This touched Sun Hedou, or the most sensitive string in the hearts of many readers in the world: the peddlers and pawns can pass the exam to enter the officialdom, what is the point of my generation of books that have been studying for so many years?
"Sun Lang, Sun Lang! What are you thinking? ”
A soft call sounded in his ears, pulling Sun Hedou out of his chaotic thoughts, and when he turned his face, he saw that Shiyun was staring at him with his face up.
Sun Hedou smiled silently, and reached out to hold Shiyun's soft little hand - no matter how upsetting things are, the beauty is on the side right now, but the sunset beauty cannot be disappointed.
For Sun Hedou, it is more appropriate to say that Shiyun is not a favorite concubine, but a confidante, otherwise in the last spy turmoil, Sun Hedou would not have avoided suspicion to intercede for her.
This girl brought Sun Hedou's wives and concubines very different feelings, not only in poetry and songs, but also in practice and learning a strong desire for knowledge, so that Sun Hedou's self-esteem has been greatly satisfied; And the watery tenderness and thoughtfulness in her daily life made Sun Hedou, who was thousands of miles away from home, enjoy the warmth of the long-lost family.
"Like a beautiful flower, like a year of flowing water," walking up to the wooden wall with poetry, looking at the last scarlet on the sea and sky, Sun Hedou couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for!" ”
He only sighed to himself, but he didn't notice the changes on Shiyun's face around him—first extreme approval and satisfaction, and then quickly appeared with regret and worry.
Shiyun's monologue in her heart at this moment is: I am happy, but Eminem, who is far away in Nagasaki, still doesn't know what kind of torture he endures! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
