Chapter 190: "Tongue War"
"Mr. Qingzhu, I heard Mr. Sun say that you have served in the Northeast Zhang Dashuai Mansion, and now you are teaching foreign children at the North Street Church?"
Yu Peilun took the lead in asking Li Qingzhu for advice.
"That's right, what does Brother Yu have to say?"
Li Qingzhu nodded, and generously admitted, these things are not unsightly, what is there to say?
Yu Peilun didn't say anything, but Xu Jinqi said a little unceremoniously: "Mr. Li, please forgive me for being blunt, why would Mr. rather teach foreign children than teach us Chinese children to read?" ”
Li Qingzhu glanced at him, Xu Jinwei looked a little reckless, but this person's eyes were quite clear, not like a person who could pretend to be pretending.
"Brother Xu, let me ask you, in today's China, where else can accommodate my Chinese? Who will send their children to study in the church? In such a troubled world, who can't even eat enough, who has spare money to send their children to school? Who can I teach without students? It is better to teach foreigners in a different way, so that they can understand the 5,000-year history of China, and it is better for me to teach them to advocate peace than for others to teach them to advocate war. ”
Li Qingzhu's words made Xu Jinwei unable to defend after hearing it, he always felt that Li Qingzhu was quibbling, but he couldn't find any words to refute, so he had to bow his head sullenly and remain silent.
"Sir's words are wrong, but looking at it, there are still people in China today who yearn for etiquette."
Li Juemin stretched out his hand and shook it, expressing his opinion.
"Yes, I never deny this, there are 40,000 people in China, how can there be one or two people who love to learn. It's just that I'm in such a bad situation in China. Why did Meng's mother move three times? Isn't it because the environment is not suitable for Mencius's learning and growth? You can't deny that in today's China, the Chinese people are not self-reliant, and most of them grovel for the sake of life. How can the next generation who grew up in such an environment be rich and strong? ”
Li Qingzhu looked at the five people with an indignant face and said, Li Juemin, who raised objections, also lowered his head like Xu Jinjun before and did not say a word.
"Mr. Qingzhu, if you teach foreign children to read, you will ensure that they can advocate peace by learning our Chinese culture? How can you guarantee that they will not use this knowledge against us Chinese? ”
Chen Gengxin frowned, looking very worried.
"Brother Chen is too worried, I wonder if Brother Chen knows Emperor Xiaowen of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?"
"I've heard a little bit about it below." Chen Gengxin responded modestly. In fact, he is well aware of these histories.
Li Qingzhu smiled and nodded, since he knew.
"Since Brother Chen knows. Then you must know that the greatest feat of Emperor Xiaowen is to creatively carry out a national integration, of course, I also call it cultural integration. ”
Chen Gengxin nodded, of course he remembered this paragraph. And he already understood what Li Qingzhu wanted to say.
"Mr. Lee. With all due respect, if Mr. Li hopes to use our Chinese culture to assimilate these foreign children, I am afraid it is not very realistic. Emperor Xiaowen was able to succeed because most of the Hu people had already lived a Han life at that time, or learned Han culture, and now, these children have not been exposed to Han culture at all, and they are full of bullying and humiliating Chinese people. How can I succeed? ”
This is a typical spear of the son to attack the shield of the son, before Li Qingzhu emphasized the general environment. Chen Gengxin used the general environment to deal with Li Qingzhu.
Chen Gengxin thought that Li Qingzhu would be speechless, but he didn't expect him to just chuckle and say in his confident tone: "That's right, the general environment is true, but Brother Chen has ignored another important point, that is, most of these children are orphans and live in churches. Bishop Smith of the church is a good man who is not inclined to war, and the church and the shijie outside are fundamentally different things. ”
"To put it mildly, my students are now Chinese fans, they are very interested in Chinese culture, and they are proud that they can now speak a few words of Chinese."
"Actually, I don't want them to teach them to help us fight foreigners, they are still children, I just hope that there will be less people who support war on this shijie, and more people who support peace, and use my limited liliang to weave a beautiful haode childhood for them."
Li Qingzhu looked at the five of them with sincere eyes, this was indeed Li Qingzhu's voice from the heart, and the five of them really felt this sincerity.
Zeng Riquan's physique is a little big and his figure is very burly, but he is the most stable one among them.
"Mr. Li, your ambition makes me feel ashamed, I didn't expect you to change so much through education."
"Please forgive me for today's matter, after all, I have never seen Mr. before, and I came here today because Mr. Sun begged for it, so I want to come over to see how Mr. has a demeanor, which can be so respected by Mr. Sun. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, and now, we can also obey Mr. Yu with peace of mind. ”
Zeng Riquan clasped his hands into fists and said Daoqian's words, but his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but he seemed to be the leader of the five of them.
Li Qingzhu waved his hand indifferently, and chuckled: "It's okay, this is normal, what we are going to do, if we are not careful, it is a life, it is appropriate to be cautious, if it is me, I am afraid I will also understand how the person who leads me is." You are kind to be like this today. ”
The five of them looked at each other and smiled embarrassedly, they did a little too much, but Li Qingzhu was generous and didn't care, but they formed a friendship between them.
"Mr. Li is generous and doesn't care, it really makes me feel ashamed, but if this matter spreads, it can make Mr. famous in one fell swoop."
Yu Peilun said to Li Qingzhu with a smile, and Li Qingzhu asked curiously, "Oh? What does this mean? ”
"Isn't this the modern version, Zhuge Kongming's tongue battle group Confucian?"
Yu Peilun looked at everyone and said with a smile, everyone looked at each other, and then hahadaxiao got up, Li Juemin pointed at Yu Peilun and said with a smile: "Okay, you Yu Yunji, you are comparing yourself to Jiangdong Wenchen, you will really raise your value." ”
Several of them have known each other for many years, and they are used to making jokes, so Li Juemin's words not only did not disgust Yu Peilun, but would be more cordial.
"Where, where, didn't I praise a few of you too?"
Yu Peilun didn't think so at all, but slapped their sycophants.
"Eh, Mr. Yu, you're wrong, my old Xu doesn't know a few words, I'm just a peasant, you compare me to a minister, this is not suitable."
Xu Jinxi, who was five big and three thick, waved his hand and shook his head again and again to refuse Yu Peilun's compliment, Li Qingzhu also glanced at him, he felt that this person was simple in words and deeds, but he didn't expect that he was really an authentic downlander.
In this era, there were very few people who were able to follow Sun Wen to make a revolution, not because they looked down on them, but because of the limitations of their own culture, they could not understand the importance of the revolution, so in the early stage of the revolution, most of the revolutionaries were intellectuals.
"Brother Xu, you are wrong, you brought so many people from your hometown to participate in Mr. Sun's alliance, this kind of spirit and knowledge, but ordinary people don't have it, a few of us have never underestimated you because you are a farmer, Brother Xu don't look down on yourself."
Chen Gengxin smiled and persuaded Xu Jinjing, who was always too worried about his origin, so that he had a strong sense of inferiority.
"I agree with this, since everyone is a revolutionary, there should be no distinction between identities, here, everyone is Chinese, and they are all people who work hard for the rise of China."
Li Qingzhu also came in, looked at Xu Jinwei with sincere eyes and said, he didn't want there to be a discord in his team.
Xu Jinxi glanced at Chen Gengxin and Li Qingzhu with emotion, and Li Qingzhu's words also won the approval of Yu Peilun and several of them, at this moment, they really agreed with Li Qingzhu and obeyed him, and they had nothing to say.
"Good! Let's talk about how to help Mr. Sun and them attract the attention of the British! ”
Li Qingzhu felt that the emotional communication was almost over, and it was time to get to the point. (To be continued......)
