casually found a nearby canteen, and Xiao Rui led people in.

"Master Hou, this is the academy's cafeteria?"

"That's right, the twenty-eight canteens are just different in layout, but the general facilities and environment are similar."

Hiss......

Xiao Ruiyun's light explanation made everyone present take a breath of cool air.

Not because the canteen is too shabby, on the contrary, it is precisely because the canteen is too luxurious. Where is this canteen, it is simply a clean and tidy restaurant, Hou Ye has opened twenty-eight drunken immortal buildings in the academy, the slight difference is that these canteens are all on the first floor, and there is no second floor.

Li Er was also surprised, such a big canteen? Ordinary restaurants can not be compared, in terms of spaciousness, the palace Taiji Hall is not so.

"How many people can you eat in this cafeteria? It would cost a lot of money to build such a large canteen, and there would be 28 of them, right? ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "This canteen can accommodate five or six hundred people to eat at the same time, of course, if someone leaves after eating, and someone else comes, counting this kind of overturning, because the ingredients are limited, one meal can be for a thousand people." ”

"There are more than 20 canteens, which can accommodate 20,000 or 30,000 people, and although the college does not have so many students, it may not be there in the future. The reason why it is designed is not for extravagance, but to let students not have to worry about eating, and try to save their minds and time on reading. ”

"There are even a few canteens that serve meals at any time, day and night, to ensure that students who are obsessed with reading can have a hot meal at any time when they are hungry."

"As for spending money? Hehe, for the construction of this academy, the salary alone is 200,000 taels of silver, and all the materials are on credit, and they may not be able to pay off in the next ten or twenty years. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was impressed, and this alone shows Hou Ye's dedication to education, although this classless academy has not enrolled students, it has been at the top of the world.

Old Li Yuan patted Xiao Rui's shoulder and said lovingly: "Child, I've hurt you." ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "Grandpa Huang, where is my credit?" It's all His Majesty's support, and if it weren't for the court's guarantee, I wouldn't be able to borrow this sky-high amount of money. ”

Li Er laughed and said: "You kid is young, but you don't want to enter the court to contribute to the official. In this case, let you run the academy well, pay off the debts of the imperial court for 20 years, and save you from fishing and being lazy every day. I haven't reached the day of retirement fishing, how can you be idle? ”

Xiao Rui smiled, but did not complain in person.

Du Ruhui, who was supported by his son, saw Xiao Rui deflated, and opened his mouth to change the topic to solve the siege: "Originally, we thought that the academy was a place for preaching, teaching and solving doubts, but Hou Ye had a different opinion. He said that the academy is just a place to help the children protect the way, to provide them with a worry-free environment for food and clothing, all the books and skills they can use, to ensure that they can learn whatever they want, and that's it. ”

"Hou Ye believes that students are like a piece of dry cloth, and the academy is a bowl of water, and when the dry cloth is put into the water, students can absorb water from the bowl to their heart's content, and how much they can absorb depends on their personal talent and hard work."

Oh? This kind of educational philosophy seems to be very different from the current world.

Many people fell into contemplation, and many people looked at Kong Yingda, the priest of the country.

Kong Yingda also expressed puzzlement, "Master Hou, didn't you say, teacher, preach and teach to solve doubts?" If all the students are self-taught, what do teachers have to do? How else do you preach and teach? How can the knowledge of the sages be passed on? ”

Xiao Rui laughed and said, "Preaching is not cramming. If a person doesn't like to count, but you press him to learn to count for ten years, although he can also learn to become a master, but you can't let this person go to the top, because his talent is not here. ”

"The educational philosophy of Wuxian Academy is different from that of the world, and the development of talent is one of the characteristics, and interest is the best teacher. If you are not interested, even if this person studies for a lifetime, how much can he achieve? ”

"As for the sage lineage? Hehe, don't worry. Books are there, the inheritance of the sages is there, the most important thing in my Tang Dynasty is people, there are always people who will have an innate talent, choose which one they like the most, and only in this way can the sages find the true inheritance of the next generation that they are proud of. ”

"Cramming indoctrination education cannot be regarded as a successor, at most it can only be regarded as an inheritor. It's like from Confucius to Mencius, and then to Xunzi, it is not a teacher-student relationship, but only in this way can we come out of the blue and carry forward a knowledge. ”

"Why has there been no saint in Confucianism since Xunzi? I think it has something to do with it. ”

Xiao Rui's words were deafening, and more people fell into contemplation, including Kong Yingda.

At this point, time is limited, Xiao Rui is reluctant to continue to debate the teaching philosophy with these people, and then introduces the teaching of the college, "The college has been teaching for a total of five years, and the first year is when all students attend classes together to teach some practical basics. At the same time, it also allows students to learn about the hundreds of schools, and then from the second year, everyone can choose which one to study according to their preferences. ”

"Of course, if you are a genius or have the ability to learn, you can study more than one subject. If you really have the ability, even if you finish all the knowledge of the academy, there is no restriction. ”

One person is proficient in 100 schools? I'm afraid no one in the world can do it.

Says who? Isn't there one in front of you? Hou Ye is such a genius!

"Just now, Kong Saijiu asked me, what does the teacher of the academy do? Let me give you an analogy, do you see the sun in the sky? If the pinnacle of learning is the sun, then everything in the academy, including books and teachers, is a ladder to help students ascend to heaven and rise to the sun. ”

"When the student's learning is not as good as the teacher's, the teacher helps the student answer questions. One day, the knowledge of students surpasses that of teachers, and the only thing that can guide students is the books of the sages. If one day, the students surpass the sages in learning, they have found their own way, and they can only move forward by exploring on their own. On the way to seek the Tao, it is destined to be lonely. ”

Hiss......

With Xiao Rui's description, everyone seemed to see a ladder built by stepping on a book, and a lonely figure on the ladder climbed towards the sun step by step.

is worthy of being a champion Hou, worthy of being the first person in the world, running a academy, and it is so imaginative. Heavens and the sun? If you change someone, I'm afraid you can't even think of it.

Seeing the success fooling everyone, Xiao Rui was full of pride, and then changed his words, "However, in order to urge students to study hard and prevent them from wasting their time and messing around, the academy has a teacher exam, five years, if you can't pass the teacher exam, you can give the opportunity to study for three more years, and one assessment a year in three years, if you can't get out of the school after three more years, hehe, either a nerd or an academic bastard, both of which are useless things for the country and the people, and will be removed from the academy." ”

Many civil officials persuaded: "Master Hou, isn't it too harsh?" As the saying goes, ten years of cold and bitter ...... You've been here for eight years......"

Civil officials are worried that the study time is short, and many people will not be able to learn talents, so wouldn't it be a big waste to mix half a bottle of water? Each student should be given enough time to develop talents.

But the generals agreed: "Master Hou's words are reasonable, if you can't learn to make a name for yourself here in eight years, it must be useless." Continue to stay, except for empty food, it is useless, and it should be kicked out. What ten years of hardship, can studying have us practicing martial arts and endure hardships? We can become a teacher after three or five years of martial arts, let alone eight years? ”

"How can fighting and killing compare to reading? Let you fight, but let you endorse it? Someone complained and retorted.

Seeing that the civil and military factions were about to quarrel, Xiao Rui hurriedly stopped, "There will be motivation when there is pressure, this is to urge students to study enthusiastically." The rules of the academy are like this, if you don't agree, it is not suitable for studying here, the academy is to cultivate talents, and to contribute to Datang in the future, not for them to rest and enjoy. If you want to be poor, you can go somewhere else, hide at home behind closed doors, read a book for 60 years, and no one cares. ”

"Haha, Cai! Or is Hou Ye reasonable, and there are no rules? The generals laughed heartily, but the civil officials were thoughtful, as if what the Hou Ye said made sense, if there is no time limit for people to study here, it is not only a waste of the resources of the academy, but also no benefit to the country and the people.

"After talking for a long time, I almost forgot the time, and I said that I would talk while eating. Ladies and gentlemen, let's line up in order, let's eat first, and then talk after eating. ”

What's that? Line up?

Everyone was dumbfounded, we are here to eat, you have a table full of eight immortals here, everyone sit down and you can let people serve the food, what kind of queue are you arguing? Are we really students?
