Chapter 51: The Industrialist and Agricultural

"No, absolutely not!"

Xun Guangyuan stood up violently, opened his mouth and objected: "The ancients are cloudy, the people can make them know that they can't be used, and the foolishness of the people is the foundation of governance." ”

Literacy for all will undoubtedly threaten the dominance of today's readers. In these three areas, in addition to Gao Yuanju and some students in the school, there is only one person who is really famous Xun Guangyuan, and the real scholarly family is only the Xun family.

Since ancient times, Xun Guangyuan's long-term edification has made Xun Guangyuan's thoughts still stay before the disaster, as a traditional reader, everything is inferior, only the theory of high reading has been deeply engraved in his mind.

If all the people in these three areas are literate, he will never accept it.

"Old Man Xun, don't get excited, listen to me explain first?"

Xu Chuan waved his hand to let Xun Guangyuan sit down, but his eyes fell on the other people in the conference room, compared to Xun Guangyuan, the other people's faces were also extremely surprised.

It seems that the phrase "reading for all" and literacy for all should not be the same.

Hearing Xu Chuan's voice, Xun Guangyuan suddenly sobered up, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, his behavior just now seemed to be a little excessive.

As a monarch, he can tolerate the courtiers, but he is most taboo to seize the power of the monarch and resist the king's order, and he seems to have done it all, he was also a person who entered the court at the beginning, how can he not understand these things.

Smiling wryly, Xun Guangyuan touched his beard, and said with some embarrassment: "It's the old man who is too excited, and Nephew Sichuan must not care, but when it comes to reading people, it is inevitable to argue a few words." ”

Xu Chuan waved and said: "Don't care, your old man is learning the way of self-cultivation and governing the country, what I want our fellow villagers to learn is the way of life of ordinary people, we have no conflict, no contradiction, no conflict." ”

Xun Guangyuan's fierce movements, he naturally saw it in his eyes, he was not afraid of conflict with Xun Guangyuan, he just didn't bother to pay attention to him.

For Xu Chuan, it is necessary for the people here to read and write.

The Sanzhi area is too small, and the population is too small, if you can't maintain your advanced nature through science and technology, you will be swallowed by the surrounding bandits and even the three major powers at any time.

But the development of science and technology, but he alone will not work, he can provide some ideas and ideas, but the specific implementation and details, must need other people who know how to do.

The development of a region does not depend on the strength of one person, but on the efforts of countless people.

Therefore, reading and literacy, educating children to enlightenment, this is something that no one can stop, Xun Guangyuan can't stop it, and it can't be stopped.

It's just that for him, what he wants to teach is not the four books and five classics of the ancients, the thousand-character texts of the hundred family names, the enlargement of virtuous texts, the combination of aphorisms, and the things of the general knowledge of governance, and he is too lazy to conflict with him.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Xun Guangyuan asked with some curiosity.

Xu Chuan said: "If you want to talk about it in detail, I can't finish it in three days and three nights, but what I want to teach is not the four books and five classics, the enlargement of virtuous texts, the combination of aphorisms, and the general knowledge of governance." Therefore, you old people can study with peace of mind, run your school, and I will do my own. ”

"When will Nephew Chuan prepare for the scientific expedition?" Seeing that Xu Chuan's preaching was different from his own, Xun Guangyuan asked again.

The abacus in his heart can be said to be crackling, regardless of the town, only the Xun family is a real scholarly family, and it is a scholar family who is exposed here from the outside, if it is a scientific examination, the first three must belong to the Xun family.

It's just that what he didn't think about was that since the things taught were different, why did he still select personnel according to the previous scientific research method?

"Scientific expedition? No, we don't need scientific research in the three of us. Xu Chuan glanced at Xun Guangyuan and replied.

"If you don't take a scientific exam, how do you choose a scholar? Without scientific research, how do these departments select people? Xun Guangyuan frowned.

Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head: "Knowledge is important, but what is more important is ability. ”

"If we want to become strong in a short time, we must find another way, we must start with industry and business. Therefore, the traditional way of selecting people through scientific research is not suitable for us. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xun Guangyuan couldn't sit still again, stood up again, glared at Xu Chuan and said angrily: "Could it be that Nephew Sichuan wants to follow the example of the Emperor of the First Emperor and burn books and pit Confucianism again?" ”

"With all due respect, scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, and merchants are at the bottom, and there are no scholars who are not governed, no farmers are not stable, no workers are not rich, and no merchants are not living, how can you turn the words of the sages upside down?"

Xun Guangyuan's beard was blown up, and his old face was also red.

Xu Chuan knocked on the table and said, "We should read, but we can't read dead books, the words of the sages are indeed reasonable, but any truth must be flexibly applied according to the changes in the environment, otherwise what is the use of reading?" Do you memorize the Four Books and the Five Classics every day? ”

"Nonsense! How dare you be disrespectful to the saints! Xun Guangyuan stared at Xu Chuan and roared, looking like he wanted to ask for an explanation for the sage.

"Whether it's holy words or nonsense, as long as you can make the Sanzhi area strong, and let the villagers and people here live well!" Xu Chuan snorted coldly and looked at Xun Guangyuan unceremoniously.

"That's it, that's it. Now that Nephew Chuan has made a decision, the old man naturally listens to it. ”

After looking at each other for a while, Xun Guangyuan let out a long breath, sat down again, and did not throw his sleeves away as Xu Chuan imagined, which made him a little surprised, and glanced at the old man again, a little unclear whether he was taking it or having other thoughts.

However, Xu Chuan didn't think much about it, as long as he firmly held the town guards in his hands, even if the Xun family was a scholarly landlord, he couldn't make any waves.

In fact, for Xun Guangyuan, his idea is very simple.

Today's Xu Chuan has a very high prestige here, first led the town guards to repel the bandits, and then let the villagers earn money to live a good life, just like the king of a country, if he forcibly contradicts, I am afraid that in the end, the Xun family will be excluded from the core of the department's power.

It's better to be a little obedient now, and when the Xun family takes over the power of various departments, then reverse this unhealthy trend of valuing business and light people.

After all, in the entire three areas, the people of the Xun family have really read the books, and all departments need people to manage them, and if they don't take people from the Xun family, is it difficult to believe those rough men with mud legs?

It's a pity that for Xu Chuan, he can only say that you think too much.

If it was really the people of this era who supported the three areas, maybe he would really go as he thought.

But for Xu Chuan, he has the opinions of thousands of years in later generations, has completely different ideas about the system and personnel appointment of various departments, and has a completely uneasy way of playing cards.
