For the Daming School, Li Chengqian did put a lot of thought into it.

The words he said to Yu Shinan yesterday were not fooling him.

He really wants to cultivate a group of talents suitable for the Ming Dynasty.

So over the years, he has invested a lot in the Daming Academy, in addition to money, Li Chengqian has also put a lot of things in the Daming Academy.

Right now, I'm wandering around the school.

With the expansion of the Daming School in recent years, it has long been moved out of the Daming Palace.

Of course, it is not far from Daming Palace, and when Li Chengqian was wandering in Daming Palace, Yu Shinan, Li Xiaogong, Qin Qiong, Li Tai and Qin Huaidao walked in together.

They are already together, how can Yu Chi Baolin invite only one person, isn't that offending people?

Besides, Li Chengqian's move is to promote the culture and education of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not bad to have a few more people.

And among them, Yu Shinan is obviously the most interested, as a literary master of the early Tang Dynasty, he attaches the most importance to literature and education, and attaches importance to inheritance, even if Li Chengqian does not invite him to come, he plans to find an opportunity to take a look for himself in the next two days.

To be honest, if it weren't for Li Chengqian's wedding before, he would have come a long time ago.

However, as soon as they entered the Daming Academy, they were still shocked, if the previous Daming Hospital had opened their eyes, then the Daming Academy was even better.

Even if it is the Guozijian of Chang'an, in terms of land occupation alone, it can't catch up with the Daming School.

Not to mention the architectural style they have never seen, although they dare not say that it must be more atmospheric than Chang'an Guozijian, but it is definitely novel enough, and the flag stand on the huge playground does give everyone an extremely shocking feeling.

"Where is Your Highness?" Li Xiaogong asked.

Yu Chi Baolin looked around, casually called someone over, and said, "Take the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to see Your Highness." ”

When the man heard this, he immediately walked in front of him and led the way.

And when they found Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian was listening to a group of students debating outside the six-year hall.

"See Your Highness, Foreign Minister." The crowd bowed in unison.

Li Chengqian just glanced back, waved his hand, and said, "No need to be polite, come, take a look, look at the debate of the students of my Ming Sixth Year Hall, don't say it, it's quite interesting." ”

"Debate? Debating what? Li Xiaogong immediately asked.

He doesn't know these things, and he's just curious at the moment.

Wei Shuyu explained on the side: "The so-called debate is the final exam of the students of the sixth year, and Mr. will come up with a question, and let the students draw lots to choose the pros and cons, and then the two parties will argue according to the actual situation.

This time, the debate on the Yellow River is more beneficial than harmful to the people, or whether the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. ”

"What do you mean by the Sixth Anniversary Hall?" Yu Shinan asked.

"The six-year hall means that the student has studied in the school for six years, or the student's homework has reached the standard of the six-year hall." Wei Shuyu continued to explain.

When Yu Shinan heard this, he frowned: "Can the six-year hall be completed?" What can I learn in six years? My Datang students, who have not studied hard for more than ten years, just this, at this age, don't you live to learn all the time! ”

"Yongxing Gong misunderstood." Li Chengqian said with a smile when he heard this, "The so-called six-year hall graduation is just a phase, and the Daming School pays attention to one year of enlightenment, two years of literacy, three years of reasoning, and four years of doing things.

The whole study adds up to ten years.

Of course, if you can't finish your course, it may take longer.

Therefore, Yongxing Gong's worries are unnecessary. ”

When Yu Shinan heard this, he nodded and said, "One year of enlightenment, two years of literacy, three years of reasoning, and four years of doing things, I don't know what is important in this?" ”

He is still quite interested in this, after all, he is an old pedant, and in this regard, he still has some research.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "The so-called one-year enlightenment is to inspire the spiritual wisdom of students when they are still young, although this stage is the easiest, but also the most difficult.

Two years of literacy is literal, of course, it doesn't mean that these two years are just for learning words, but learning words is the foundation.

The three-year reasoning is to learn the truth of the world, and at this stage, the emphasis is on reasoning.

Reason is not clear, so the last step of three years of reasoning is to argue.

In the end, it's four years of doing things.

In the past four years, we will have to put into practice the reasoning they once argued.

Just like this group of students from the Sixth Grade, the Yellow River that is being debated today, in the future, they will do things for four years, and what they will do is to control the water.

This set is also a set of educational concepts that Benwang and Chen Xuezheng have pondered for a long time before they have set, of course, it may be a little different from the concept of Datang, but the purpose is the same.

It's all about cultivating enough talents for the world. ”

After listening to Li Chengqian, everyone nodded involuntarily.

In any case, Daming's educational philosophy is really good.

"Your Highness is indeed attentive." Even Yu Shinan nodded at this time.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "I can't talk about it, you might as well take a look at the performance of the students of my Ming Sixth Year Hall, it's time to be wonderful." ”

As he was talking, in the classroom, the representative of the opposing side stood up and said: "Although the Yellow River has created river basins along the way, how many innocent people's lives have been eroded by the floods caused by the Yellow River basin over the years?"

How many innocent people have been displaced?

Let's take a look at these data, starting with the pre-Qin period, BC......

Since records began, the Yellow River has taken millions of lives, directly or indirectly, and displaced hundreds of millions of people over the past 1,000 years. ”

As the representative of the opposing side spoke, he really took out the data he had sorted out and handed a copy to everyone present, including Li Chengqian and others outside the classroom, and someone sent them a special copy.

"Judging from these data, the Yellow River does more harm than good to the people, because life is priceless, if anyone thinks that the Yellow River is more beneficial than harmful to the people, then please ask the innocent people who have lost their lives because of the flood disaster to say yes.

Ask those displaced by the floods if they say yes! ”

As he finished his resounding words, there was no reaction in the school, and everyone outside the school was stunned.

Good guys, it's really reasonable!

Especially the thick information in his hand, Yu Shinan has read it just now, it is really detailed, and where every flood disaster comes from, it is clearly marked, with Yu Shinan's extensive experience, he dare not say that every data is true, but the vast majority, he remembers.

And the statistical table made on the last page was even more refreshing to him.

It was a statistical method he had never seen before.

"Your Highness, this is ......" Yu Shinan asked with some surprise.

"It's statistics." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Yongxing Gong doesn't need to be surprised, in the Daming Academy, all students who are more than five years old must learn this." ”

"Statistics?" Yu Shinan pondered for a moment when he heard this.

Even he has to admit that this so-called statistics does have its own unique features.

At this moment, in the school, the representative of the positive side immediately stood up and retorted: "If you only look at natural disasters and ignore the fact that the Yellow River has benefited the people along the way, what is the difference between this and playing hooligans?"

I also have a copy of the data here, which I would like to distribute to all of you. ”

After all, this guy was even more ruthless, and immediately moved out several thick stacks of materials from under the table with his companions, which were thicker than the materials he had just taken out from the other side.

When they were studying this topic, they guessed that the opponent would definitely talk about natural disasters, so they had already made sufficient preparations.

Of course, even if the opposing side does not talk about natural disasters, this is a strong argument.

After the gentleman who presided over the debate arranged for someone to distribute the materials, the representative of the positive side said: "Just now, the opposing side said that the Yellow River has lost its lives and displaced many people because of natural disasters over the past thousand years.

I have no objection to this.

But I want to ask, is this the fault of the Yellow River?

Did the Yellow River take the initiative?

I know, some people are going to say again, this is a natural disaster, but the Yellow River is the initiator after all?

Then I invite you to look at the information you have.

What a dramatic change has taken place in the Yellow River basin over the past millennium?

In the pre-Qin period, there were bamboo slips recorded that both sides of the Yellow River were lush and green.

Look at the present?

Both sides of the Yellow River are almost bare.

The cultivated land on both sides of the Yellow River has become more and more barren from the pre-Qin period to the present.

Whose fault is this?

Is it also the fault of the Yellow River?

Let's turn to the fourth page of the information.

Since the beginning of written records, the Yellow River Basin has nurtured the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people, and this has been ignored by everyone?

It is said that the Yellow River does more harm than good to human beings, so why not say it, because human beings do more harm than good to the Yellow River!

If it weren't for the endless greed, endless logging, and endless demand of human beings, there would be the Yellow River today!

If there were no humans, why would the Yellow River be called the Yellow River?

So, how can we have the face to accuse the Yellow River here of harming humanity! It's time to reflect! Students! ”

"Well said!" When Yu Shinan heard this, he immediately couldn't help but slap his thigh.

He really felt that what he said was reasonable and powerful.

And the arguments are also very convincing.

Not only them, but even Li Xiaogong, a big old man, also listened to a bunch of energy.

Li Chengqian smiled but did not speak.

Looking at the guy in the school, he said in his heart, this kid is clever, and he changed the debate questions at once.

But he also has to admit that these little guys have indeed grown up.

"Is the representative of the square off topic?" At this moment, the representative of the opposing side said, "Our topic of debate today is the Yellow River for the people.

You've got to do with human beings and the Yellow River, and now the debate tournament has begun to disrespect the debate? ”

"The purpose of debate is to be reasonable." The representative of the positive side was not nervous, and immediately retorted, "Today's argument is to prove whether the benefits of the Yellow River outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, am I not right?" ”

……

"Let's go, let's go see the students of the Seventh Anniversary Hall." Seeing this, Li Chengqian immediately smiled and said, "Next, they are enough, on this topic, there are no ten days and half a month, no one wants to convince anyone." ”

He knows these guys, as long as he seizes the slightest opportunity, he will bite back like crazy, and he will never let go without biting off a piece of meat.

Of course, he also supports this style.

"It's clear that the pros have won, and the converses are just sophistry." Yu Shinan immediately snorted coldly.

He liked the argumentative views of the positive side and immediately became a supporter of the positive side.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "What is sophistry? Could it be that they are gentlemen to admit defeat now? ”

"Why not?" Yu Shinan said, "If you know your mistakes, you can change them, you are very good, you have been biting other people's mistakes, where does the gentleman's style come from?" ”

"Then if you don't have a firm position, you're a gentleman?" Li Chengqian immediately retorted, "Riding on the wall and looking at the direction of the wind is a gentleman? The reason why we use the debate tournament as the final exam of the three-year reasoning.

The first is their preparation in advance.

The second is their on-the-spot reaction.

The third is the firmness of their position.

In many cases, it's either that there are many people who support it, or it's right.

They must have their own analytical skills.

If they are easily persuaded by others, if an enemy country comes to lobby them in the future, will they follow others as long as they are reasonable? Betray me Daming?

So, there are some things that you can't just look at the surface, but also look at the deeper aspects.

I Daming cultivates the talents of the Ming Dynasty and the talents of the world, but it must be the talents of the Ming Dynasty first, and then the talents of the world. ”

Li Chengqian said this very selfishly, but people such as Li Xiaogong nodded.

They can understand this.

Although Yu Shinan didn't approve, he also nodded, and just asked, "Is the talent cultivated by His Highness so limited too strong?"

If they stand firm, will they be stubborn in the future?

Such a talent is suitable for the court? ”

"That's why you've been doing things for four years?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "In the past four years, what they have done is what they argued at the time, and the reason is not clear, but only practice can be true."

It is only through practice that they will know what is true.

That's why we're going to look at the students of the Seven or Eight Years Hall now. ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian walked in front.

The students of the 123rd Hall, Li Chengqian did not plan to take Yu Shinan to see it.

At this stage, even if Daming has his own novelty, it is not worth mentioning for people like Yu Shinan.

Only ideological things can touch a generation of Confucians like Yu Shinan.

When Yu Shinan heard this, he didn't refuse again this time, and immediately followed behind Li Chengqian with everyone.

Li Chengqian took them to the class of the Eight Years Hall.

He went to see the class schedule before, and today the Eighth Year Hall is taking a practical class.

And their practical class is actually to build bridges and pave roads.

When Li Chengqian and the others came, a group of half-grown children were building a bridge over the man-made river in the school.

This made Yu Shinan dumbfounded.

"Your Highness, don't tell the old man, this is a student of the Daming Academy?" Although Yu Shinan couldn't believe it, looking at the clothes on their bodies, he actually had the answer in his heart.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Why not?" ”

"Insulting Sven! It's insulting! Yu Shinan was so angry that he stomped his feet, "A dignified Confucian student, like a mountain villager, what kind of system has he become!" ”

"What do you mean to be insulting?" Li Chengqian sneered, "Practice has to know that they may become parents in the future, and they will naturally know everything."

Only if they can do anything, will they truly benefit the people.

Although there are not many rivers in my Ming Dynasty, there are not a few, if they are allowed to become the official of one of their parents, do you want to solve the travel problem of the people under their rule?

Why is it called insulting?

If they didn't have basic cultural knowledge, Yongxing Gong thought they could build such a bridge?

Of course, in the future, they don't have to do this kind of thing on their own, it's just their current studies.

Moreover, they have experienced this experience, and in the future, when they are dealing with the people, they will also understand the difficulties of the people, isn't that a good thing? ”

"What's so hard about building a bridge?" Yu Shinan said when he heard this.

Hearing him say this, one of the students who was repairing the bridge immediately raised his head and said, "Isn't it difficult? Isn't it difficult for you to come? ”

"How?" When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately shouted angrily and said, "This is the Yongxing Gong of the Tang Dynasty, a generation of scholars, how can you offend?" ”

When the student heard this, he immediately arched his hand and said, "It's rude to be a late student, but the late student still has to say that repairing a bridge is definitely not as simple as laying a few planks on the river!" In addition, bridges can be built not only on the river, but also between two mountain peaks.

Of course, it doesn't matter where the bridge is built, what matters is the purpose of the bridge.

Therefore, the location is also extremely important.

In general, bridge repair is an extremely cumbersome project from project approval to site selection, to construction and completion, which requires all aspects of knowledge. ”

After hearing what Yu Shinan said, he was immediately silent.

There's no way, he doesn't understand, so he's speechless at the moment.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "I'm sorry, my Ming student has gone too far in insisting on his own opinions, but it made Yongxing Gongjian laugh." ”

"Nope." Yu Shinan said with a smile, "It is indeed a good thing to have your own thoughts and persistence, if you are a student of my Tang Dynasty, you can also do the same, and the old man will die without regrets." ”

He was pedantic, but in some ways quite enlightened.

At least this student's words, even if they didn't convince him, they were indeed reasonable, at least he couldn't refute them for a while.

Li Chengqian smiled: "Then we might as well take a look and see how they do it?"

Moreover, this kid was actually right just now, building bridges and paving roads is never a trivial matter.

From the beginning of the site, it must be taken seriously.

First of all, we need to understand why this bridge or this road was built.

Because this directly determines who they are serving.

In the final analysis, this is people's livelihood, and people's livelihood is actually an extremely complex matter.

For example, if you want to build a bridge, there are 50 families in the east and only 10 families in the west, but the west side is connected to a county seat, so where should the bridge be built?

At this time, it is time for the parents of the official to make a choice. ”

"Then where does Your Highness think it should be cultivated?" Yu Shinan asked curiously.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "This king hasn't seen it on the spot, how can he know?" They'll know, though. ”

As he spoke, Li Chengqian pointed to the people who were busy.

Yesterday's chapter and so on...... I'm sorry.
