Chapter 54: The Confucianism and Law Controversy
The content of the textbook is very crucial.
This determines the success of this compulsory education.
Because these textbooks are mainly for the people of the six countries, so that everyone can learn the culture of the Qin Dynasty, so they should add the poetry and etiquette of the Qin Dynasty, laws and regulations, etc., which are collectively called Chinese language.
Su Mo thought about it for a while, and decided to add a sentence to the cover of the textbook.
——We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and we are all Chinese!
In the future, let the people of the six countries read this sentence every day, which is like when we go to school in the future to raise the flag and sing the national anthem every day, constantly brainwashing the people of the six countries and making them identify with Daqin, and over time, the people of the six countries will treat themselves as a nation.
Only in this way will the people of Daqin have cohesion.
After finalizing the Chinese textbook, Su Mo decided to do another math.
"Sun Tzu Sutra" once said that mathematics is the most fundamental thing of all things in heaven and earth, is the beginning of the end of the four times, the ancestor of all things, it can be seen how important mathematics is, now the Qin Dynasty arithmetic is still used to calculate chips, even the abacus has not been invented, all the people of this era are too poor in arithmetic, and it takes half a day to calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, which is inefficient.
Su Mo decided to benefit the public and added the Arabic numerals of later generations.
Then I made a ninety-nine multiplication table.
I don't want the people of the entire Great Qin to be as proficient in arithmetic as the Olympiad and calculus in later generations, at least they won't make mistakes when buying vegetables in the future.
After finishing the textbooks of Chinese and mathematics, Su Mo nodded with satisfaction.
Originally, I wanted to get a few more subjects, but after thinking about it, let's reduce the burden on the students of the Qin Dynasty.
After doing all this, Su Mo stretched his waist,
Now everything is ready, just need Zhang Han's side to get out the papermaking and printing technology, and let them do it according to the book when the time comes.
And at this moment, Satsuki walked in from outside the door.
"Brother, Chun Yu Yue came to see you!" Xiaoyue is wearing a long green dress, with swaying beads and hairpins, and her face is stunningly beautiful.
Seeing Xiao Yue come in, Su Mo stopped thinking.
At the same time, there are some doubts in my heart, who is this Chun Yuyue?
The time I came to the Qin Dynasty was too short, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had not yet recognized it, as for the familiar people except for the first emperor, the newly recognized sister Xiaoyue, how could anyone come to him at this time?
Xiao Yue saw her brother's bewildered face, and thought that the other party had only recently been an official in the Qin Dynasty, so she stepped forward and knelt next to Su Mo.
The two were extremely close to each other and behaved intimately.
"This Chun Yu Yue is a contemporary Confucian, and he is also the teacher of Gongzi Fusu." Satsuki explained beside her.
Hearing this, Su Mo suddenly realized.
He finally remembered Chun Yu Yue, the first emperor's most criticized thing was the burning of books and the pit of Confucianism, and the first of this pit of Confucianism was this Chun Yu Yue.
Thinking of this, Su Mo wondered even more, I don't know this guy, why did he come to me?
But thinking that the other party is also a contemporary Confucian, and he is the teacher of Gongzi Fusu, when people come to see him, he can't close the door, right?
So Su Mo said to Xiao Yue next to him: "Please shoot in!" ”
"Whoa!"
Xiao Yue Yingying got up, her waist twisted, looking dignified and generous.
It's a pity that Su Mo has become a eunuch now, although Xiaoyue is indeed sexy and beautiful, as long as he is a normal man, it is impossible not to be moved, but his eyes are always unwavering, and he doesn't feel anything.
It didn't take long for Satsuki to lead an old man in.
The other party has a long beard, wearing a typical official robe of the Qin Dynasty, and his demeanor is a little arrogant, but his temperament is very prominent, and he has the air of a scholar's book.
"Is there anything wrong with Lord Servant Shooting coming to me?"
Su Mo thought that the other party was also Fusu's teacher, so his attitude was quite respectful.
Who in the entire Qin Dynasty didn't know that the first emperor's favorite was Gongzi Fusu, who let him participate in court politics at a young age, and obviously cultivated him as the next generation of heirs.
As Fusu's teacher, Chun Yuyue naturally has a very transcendent status.
Even Prime Minister Li Si has to be kind to him.
After Chun Yuyue saw Su Mo, he immediately asked: "I heard that Your Majesty asked Lord Xiangguo to preside over the so-called compulsory education, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
"Not bad!"
Su Mo nodded.
"Then I don't know what is taught in compulsory education?" Chun Yuyue hurriedly asked.
"I have just finalized two subjects, one is Chinese and the other is mathematics."
Su Mo did not hesitate, and told the details of this compulsory education, anyway, this kind of thing can't be hidden from people, and sooner or later it will be faced by the people of the six countries.
Hearing this, Chun Yuyue's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Lord Xiangguo, I have a suggestion here, it is better to make my Confucian classics into books and teach them to the people of Daqin, and my Confucian disciples are all over the world, and Xiangguo also needs teachers to popularize compulsory education, so we Confucian disciples can teach the people of the world as pioneers." Chun Yuyue finally said the purpose of this visit.
But when Su Mo heard this, his face changed instantly.
Because bamboo slips are difficult to manufacture and expensive to make, it is very difficult to write a book in the Qin Dynasty, not to mention that what you write may not be read.
But now that Su Mo wants to engage in compulsory education, this is a great opportunity to write a book and pass it on, and Chun Yu is here to use this opportunity to write Confucianism in textbooks.
In this way, the people of the world can learn Confucianism, which is a good opportunity to strengthen Confucianism.
And Chun Yuyue also put forward very tempting conditions.
There were hundreds of schools of thought in the Qin Dynasty, but the largest number was always Confucianism.
If Confucian disciples were to be teachers, it would indeed solve the problem of manpower shortage.
But for this condition, Su Mo seemed a little embarrassed.
Because this involves the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, he does not dare to agree easily.
Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin Dynasty has determined the concept of governing the country based on the legal system, which can be seen from the strictness of the Qin officials.
But after the Qin State swept away the six countries and unified the world, those people in Confucianism advocated that they should govern the country with Confucianism, and scolded the first emperor every day for his strict laws and unkindness, thinking that when he became an emperor, he should rule by hanging the arch.
Over the years, the struggle between Confucian Legalists has intensified.
In the end, the first emperor was sprayed by Confucianism every day, and in a fit of anger, he burned books and pit Confucianism, so Su Mo didn't dare to agree to Confucianism's conditions, this is a thing that shakes the country's foundation, not to mention that the ministers headed by Prime Minister Li Si in the court are all representatives of Legalism, you dare to promote Confucianism, isn't that looking for death?
As a later generation, Su Mo also felt that Confucianism was harmful.
Since Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty shouted out to depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism, the people's minds have been imprisoned, and there is no longer as open-minded as the parallel of the hundreds of schools of thought.
Although this was useful for the emperor's rule, it was equivalent to standing still for the times, unable to move forward.
However, the hundreds of thousands of disciples of Confucianism are indeed very useful, and it would be a pity not to become teachers.
Su Mo thought about it, and did not refuse Chun Yuyue's suggestion.
"What to teach in this compulsory education, I personally have no right to decide, in the end I still have to ask His Majesty the First Emperor, if Your Majesty agrees, I will put Confucianism into compulsory education, if Your Majesty does not agree, then I have no choice."
Su Mo didn't say it absolutely, although this answer did not make Chun Yuyue very satisfied, but it was also at the point where it was still acceptable.
After talking a few more words with Chun Yuyue, Su Mo got up and sent him away.
Watching Chun Yuyue leave, Su Mo thought for a moment and walked towards the first emperor's bedroom.
