Chapter 231: A Fledgling Academy

The task of destroying Chu fell on Bai Zhong without accident.

According to what he and Chen Ping discussed, 400,000 is enough, and he already has a general plan to destroy Chu in his heart, but it is difficult to complete it in a short time by gathering an army, preparing enough food and grass, and gold sore medicine.

It will take a while longer for the time to go on the expedition.

After deciding on the matter of destroying Chu, Ying Zheng continued to discuss other matters until the court discussion was over, and once again left Bai Zhong behind, sighing: "Isn't the widow too reckless, he didn't wait for you to come back, and let Li Xin and Meng Tian go to destroy Chu." ”

Bai Zhongzuo said, "The king doesn't. ”

Ying Zheng said casually: "Bai Qing doesn't need to be restrained, just say it directly." ”

Since this is the case, Bai Zhong is not polite to him, and said: "The king is a little anxious, in fact, there is no need to wait for the minister to come back, if the general is allowed to fight at the beginning, Shouchun will already be besieged at this time." ”

Ying Zheng said: "It's also that the widow thinks too simply about destroying Chu, and he doesn't worry about handing over the 600,000 army to the general with high merit, and then it's all up to you, but before you go on the expedition, the widow wants to finish your marriage, and then let Shu'er notify you when the specific date comes, what do you think?" ”

"The ministers are all at the king's disposal."

Bai Zhong didn't have much of an opinion on these.

Ying Zheng said with satisfaction: "Then it will be arranged like this, is there anything else for Bai Qing?" ”

Bai Zhong really thought of one thing, and still agreed to Fusu for a long time, and said: "The minister wants to ask to take the eldest son to destroy Chu, let him go and see the cruelty on the battlefield with his own eyes, feel the hardships of the king sweeping the world, and help the growth of the son, the minister promised the son a long time ago." ”

Ying Zheng pondered for a while, clapped his hands and said, "This is good, the widow agreed." ”

Bai Zhong bowed and said, "Thank you, Great King." ”

After saying that, he bowed again, and then left the main hall.

Walking outside, Bai Zhong decided to go to Yichun Palace to have a look, and found that Zhang Cang was also there today, but he didn't teach anything, but watched Fusu dancing with a sword in the front yard, the sword moves were sharp and varied, and he didn't know if he understood it.

"General!"

Zhang Cang got up and said.

Fusu hurriedly put away his sword and hurriedly ran over and said, "The teacher is finally back." ”

Bai Zhong greeted them and said, "I came to tell Gongzi a news, the king asked me to destroy Chu, I asked to bring Gongzi with me, and the king has agreed." ”

Fusu was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, teacher!" ”

The matter had been delayed for a long time, and he was finally able to get his wish.

"I was just going to visit Mr. Zhang."

Bai Zhong said again.

Zhang Cang asked curiously: "What's the matter with the general?" ”

Bai Zhong said: "I want to take Mr. Zhang to a place where he can teach knowledge, if Mr. Zhang doesn't have time, forget it." ”

Zhang Cang did not refuse, and was also deeply curious about that place, nodded and said, "Of course there is time, please lead the way." ”

Fusu asked, "Teacher, can I go and see it too?" ”

"Absolutely!"

Bai Zhong took them out of the palace, and asked people to prepare a carriage and go to Shi'an Township.

When he came to the township, he saw that the third old Zhuang Yu learned that Bai Zhong was here again, and hurriedly walked out to greet him.

"You go and do other things first, you don't have to follow all the time, we're just walking around."

Bai Zhong drove Zhuang Yu away and came to the school next to him.

"Giant!"

When the people of the Mo family saw it, they got up and saluted.

Fu Su knew Bai Zhong's identity and didn't think there was anything, but Zhang Cang asked in surprise: "Giant, is the general a giant of the Mo family?" ”

This identity is the first time he has learned of it.

As a student of Xunzi, Zhang Cang, like Li Si, has some relationship with Confucianism, and Confucianism and Mojia are-for-tat, but Li Si and Han Fei learned from Xunzi and became Legalists, Zhang Cang does not necessarily fully believe in Confucianism, but has a little relationship.

Xunzi's thought is more complex, Confucianism was born, but it is contrary to Mencius's opinion, and the nature of evil provides a direct theoretical basis for Legalism.

Human nature is inherently evil, and the rule of law is strict.

Zhang Cang was only surprised, and he would not go toe-to-toe with the giants of the Mo family because he was born in Confucianism.

"Exactly, the people here are all from the Mo family."

Bai Zhong explained.

Zhang Cang and Fusu were puzzled again, not understanding what Bai Zhong was doing this for, but they continued to follow Bai Zhong's steps and came to the side of the classroom of the school, and were a little surprised.

I saw fifty children sitting inside, a disciple of the Mo family, standing in front of a black board, this is the blackboard, which was also made by Bai Zhong for Ling Zhi to toss, and the chalk was made of plaster.

They found some raw plaster, processed it into cooked plaster, and then made chalk through a template.

Fusu and the others could also see that in front of each child, there was a small blackboard, holding a chalk head, looking at the words on the big blackboard, and writing crookedly.

Although the words are simple, the child writes very seriously.

"General, what is this for?"

Zhang Cang asked first.

Bai Zhong explained: "Our disciples of the Mo family are teaching these children to read and write. ”

"They can read and write, too?"

Not only Zhang Cang was surprised, but so was Fusu.

In their cognition, how can ordinary children who even have a problem with eating become literate.

What I saw in front of me subverted my own cognition.

"Of course you can!"

Bai Zhong didn't want to disturb the students inside, so he took them to the courtyard and continued: "Sir, you should know that recently, we in Daqin have implemented a kind of rice and wheat with extremely high yields, and many Li Shu families have bumper harvests every year, and their families are well-off, and they pursue more nature, and reading and writing is one of them. ”

Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing.

"In addition, a lot of knowledge needs to be learned, and many people learn it, so that it can be better passed on and not lost."

Bai Zhong continued to explain: "Since ancient times, hundreds of schools of thought have contended and ideas have emerged one after another, but how many ideas can be passed down to the present? The paper and printing technology I made, as well as this school, were all prepared for the transmission of ideas and learning. ”

"The students in the academy can not only read and write, change their lives, but also help us pass on our knowledge and ideas forever."

"As long as there are more people who learn, there will naturally be more people who inherit it."

"It's not easy to get lost."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Cang instantly fell into deep thought, feeling that what the general said was too advanced, and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm for a while.

Fusu didn't think of it so much, and it was easy to understand this, and he was surprised: "The teacher is doing this not only for ideological learning, but also for the people of the world!" ”

Bai Zhong said: "It can also be said that I brought Mr. Zhang here today because I have a request, I want to invite Mr. to be a teacher in my school, and I will give Mr. Enough salary and so on, and I will definitely not treat Mr. Badly." ”

He looked at Zhang Cang and asked, "What do you think, sir?" ”
