Chapter 194: Wisdom Begins with the People
At this moment, Cheng Yi walked around in his study, his face was sometimes excited, and sometimes he shook his head.
"Compulsory education, a good compulsory education for all, a good Qin Xianao, this kind of thing actually dares to be proposed!" Cheng Yi was very excited, unlike Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu and others who were engaged in politics, writing books, and teaching disciples, he Cheng Yi was a person who had taught all his life and took education as his lifelong career, so that people who took education as their lifelong career naturally hoped that the more people who read, the better.
When everyone meditated alone, they also thought that if the entire people of the Great Song Dynasty could go to school.
"If we can really achieve education for all, everyone is knowledgeable and educated, then the world is truly peaceful, the real night is not forgotten, everyone respects the old and loves the young, what is Datong, this is Datong in the eyes of Confucius. ”
Cheng Yi's eyes flashed and he was extremely excited.
"Although this Qin Xianao is a demon, the demon is also as good as the demon, but unfortunately, he is still not ...... enough"
Cheng Yi sighed and shook his head.
"It's a pity that Sima Junshi and Uncle Lu Han don't agree with it, because ......"
Cheng Yi naturally knows how impossible it is to achieve universal compulsory education, and even how impossible it is for Qin Xianao to say that semi-universal compulsory education, first, the poor themselves will not pay for their children to go to school, but the government pays and cannot afford it, and even if they can afford it, the poor may not be willing to let their children go to school, because if they don't go to school, they can have one more labor force, in this case, why let them go to school?
"The idea is good, but just like his 24-word formula, if the boldly imagined things can't touch the ground, they are still useless, and his ideas can't land on the ground. Cheng Yi shook his head, and the look in his eyes darkened, "Everyone in Qin Xianao's "Journey to the Immortal Country" can be educated. Even the women are all knowledgeable and talented, this is a dream after all, an impossible dream!"
Lu Gongzhu looked at his two outstanding sons lightly.
Qin Xianao was carried away by the victory. Lu Xichun smiled and said, "Everyone knows how to be knowledgeable, and love is friendly, this is the world of Confucius." He Qin Xianao should have tasted the sweetness of the last anti-emperor movement, so he became high-minded, so happy, what kind of vernacular literature this time, the original real purpose is to make the Datong that Confucius could not achieve, through the newspaper declaration, and want to engage in a democracy movement again. ”
"He thinks too highly of the democracy movement, thinking that as long as it caters to the tastes of the common people. You can mobilize the common people, trick them into making trouble, and you can make things successful. ”
"The emperor succeeded, it was his luck, this vernacular for all education ......" Lu Xichun's mouth was full of sneers.
Lu Gongzhu was noncommittal and looked at his eldest son Lu Xizhe.
"Father, what the pure brother said is not unreasonable, people are often very shrewd when they are in a low position. Be cautious once you gain the upper hand. No matter how smart Qin Xianao is, he is also a human being, not a god, and this compulsory education for all is good, who is not impressed. I'm all moved, but it's harder to implement than to replace ancient Chinese with vernacular. ”
"But we must not underestimate this. Lu Xizhe said.
"Oh?" Lu Gongzhu replied lightly, "How can you not underestimate it." ”
"As Brother Chun said, Qin Xianao is the best at bewitching the crowd. Encouraging the common people, I am afraid that he will secretly do tricks and feet this time, causing the people to march and riot, and forcing our court to take out the money to carry out compulsory education for all......"
Lu Gongzhu nodded slightly.
"This Qin Xianao, is too good at speaking, you look at this issue of the newspaper, his first article said, 'The imperial examination has been implemented for a long time, it is the most appropriate now, even if it is to be changed, it cannot be achieved overnight, it must be done step by step', how good is it to say?
"yes!"
Lu Xichun and Lu Xizhe sighed with emotion, just looking at the twenty-four words, none of them made sense, and none of them were not cautious, but in the end, they were ......
"If you want to say that Qin Xianao doesn't understand, you can summarize the 24-word formula, you have to say that he understands, and he dares to throw away the idea of semi-universal compulsory education, and what kind of vernacular is he going to do. Lu Gongzhu sighed, "He said both the positive and the negative, no wonder he wants to run a newspaper, this person eats by mouth, and we can't fight with him in the newspaper." ”
"But what if he's in the newspaper again?" Lu Xichun frowned.
"This time is different from last time. Lu Gongzhu said lightly, "If he insists on this, we only need to deal with it with one sentence, and you go first." ”
"You go first?"
Lu Xizhe and Lu Xichun thought for a while, and their eyes lit up.
"Yes, now the Great Song Dynasty is not a court, now it is three points in the world, Qin Xianao insists on this and that, then let them Lingnan do the demonstration first, and let the federal government do the demonstration. ”
Lu Gong nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on the newspaper 'Outline of Humanities Education'.
"This humanistic education, what he wants is to cultivate those top talents from all walks of life, but is this really needed?" Lu Gongzhu waved his hand, Lu Xizhe and Lu Xichun went out, and Lu Gongzhu walked to the bookshelf and took out "Travels to the Immortal Country" and read it.
Sima Guang, Cheng Yi, Lv Gong, Wen Yanbo, Dong Xiyan...... After reading this issue of the newspaper, all the bigwigs in the martial arts world had a feeling.
Crazy!
Qin Xianao's proposal for universal education is really crazy! But they obviously know that this crazy idea is unrealistic, but ......
"He's also forced to do it, besides, time is running out, and we can't help it!"
"Let's take a look first, Qin Xianao, this devil has a lot of ideas, and his follow-up article hasn't come out yet, so we should not act rashly, lest we become the target of his slap in the face again, so that the people of the world will see the jokes and think we are stupid!"
"As long as we are silent, let him sing a one-man show, anyway, he has a Lingnan, if you can't achieve Lingnan, don't blame us for ignoring you. ”
The bigwigs were silent again, after all, although the idea of educating everyone is crazy and irrational, but after all, such a society is the highest ideal pursued by Confucianism, and of course, more importantly, it is forced by reality.
The collapse of the aura is imminent, what does it take to crack the recipe of longevity?
It's talent.
If all people can be educated, no matter what, there will be more talents than now, then it will be much more certain to crack the secret of longevity, and what they have to do at that time is to change the way of education to the ancestral method. It is not the four ways of combining vernacular and ancient texts proposed by Qin Xianao.
Therefore, although he didn't agree with it in his heart, he also wished that Qin Xianao could succeed.
The bigwigs are like this, and most of the people support what Qin Xianao said anyway, as for whether it is realistic enough, it is not something they can think about.
"I'm happy to let my children study, but I don't have the money. But it's useless to think about it!"
"Well, Qin Gongzi proposed it, he will definitely notice that we have no money, besides, he can even pay the income of the people in the world, so there should be no shortage of money!"
In the eyes of ordinary people, since Qin Xianao proposed it, there would definitely be a way to solve those difficulties, what did it matter to them. What they want is moral support, waiting to enjoy the benefits of the policy again.
On the contrary, many people in the ordinary scholar class were dumbfounded!
"Compulsory education for all?
"When did I lack scholars in the Song Dynasty, to this extent?"
"No, I do have a lot of scholars in the Great Song Dynasty, so many that people are helpless, every year in the imperial examination, millions of scholars compete for so many places, it is indeed too many scholars. But have you read that article on 'Humanities Education'?"
"I'm a young scholar like this. ”
"Yes. But do I always think this humanities education is necessary?"
"We don't think it's necessary, but Qin Xianao thinks it's necessary, Qin Xianao thinks it's necessary, and the foolish women in the foolish village feel that it's necessary......"
The class of scholars who really have ideals and are not convinced by themselves naturally support compulsory education for all, but there are many who frown. After all, the higher status of scholars is that there are fewer people, and if everyone reads, then their transcendent status will inevitably not exist, and how can they be happy when they think of the consequences?
After a trip to Tai Chi in the mountains and forests. Qin Dynasty and Guo Yuanyuan walked to the mud brick house.
"Sheng Dynasty, now the outside has a strong reaction to your compulsory education for all, many readers think that it is not necessary, and it cannot be realized, even if it is semi-universal education, in fact, it is ......" Guo Yuanyuan sighed, "I also think it is unnecessary, there are too many readers in the Great Song Dynasty now, but what role does it play in having so many readers? ”
"Not necessary?"
Qin Chao smiled: "It's not necessary, if the current scholars of the Great Song Dynasty are cultivated in the four ways I said and humanistic education, it is indeed enough, at least at this stage, this kind of productive Great Song is completely enough, but is it ......?"
Guo Yuanyuan looked at the Qin Dynasty with beautiful eyes: "What do you mean is not semi-universal education, but just the reform of the current educational resources, from an old-fashioned education to the four education methods you advocate?"
"This can be done where the Great Song Dynasty is governed by the imperial court and the federal government. Qin Chao said in a deep voice, "But my Lingnan, we must implement semi-universal compulsory education." ”
"But the funds?" Guo Yuanyuan shook her head.
"Semi-EFA mainly addresses one problem, which is literacy. Qin Chao said.
"Literacy rate?" Guo Yuanyuan retracted her gaze, "It's a little easier, but it's not easy!"
"No, it's easy, you just look at it. "The voice of the Qin Dynasty was extremely confident, during the war period in the later generations, like the Communist Party and the Communist Party, they were engaged in production while fighting the war, and at the same time eradicating illiteracy, the conditions at that time were much more difficult than the Great Song Dynasty, but the effect was still remarkable, and many soldiers in the army became talented in this way.
"I am now carrying out land reform in Lingnan, that is, I want to learn from the Communist Party and the Party, and control the people in the villages and groups, if it is really successful, coupled with the implementation of simplified Chinese characters, vernacular language education, and the implementation of Hanyu Pinyin, it is easy to solve a literacy rate, and the literacy rate can be solved to a higher level. ”
"But even if it can be done, is it good to just improve the literacy rate?" Guo Yuanyuan's voice was inaudible.
"No benefit?" Qin Dynasty sighed in his heart, there is no harm in investing more in education, but it is less, and the scale of not reaching a passing line really restricts the development of social productivity and science, which is the experience of countless countries in later generations, how can the Qin Dynasty not pay attention to it.
"I advocated vernacular writing and wrote "Theory of Tools" in order to transform the way people preach and teach from masters and apprentices to learn from books on their own. Qin Chao said in a low voice, "As long as this is the case, the knowledge in my stomach can be written into a book with confidence, so that hundreds of people can benefit, and countless people who have practical talents can stand out although they have not read many books." ”
"That's right!" Guo Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows slightly, the more she talked with Qin Chao, the more she felt that Qin Chao had a lot of things in his head, just like the physics knowledge that Qin Chao talked about, it was just the tip of the iceberg, and it was taken out to make something, such as water paper, flying balls, and printing, which one of them would not be of great benefit to society?
"You know, wisdom comes from the people. Qin Chao walked into the room.
"Wisdom comes from the people?" Guo Yuanyuan's face was full of doubts.
"Zhuangzi is a gardener, and the people who made the greatest contributions to science, philosophy and other disciplines in the early days are not people who are completely educated...... Qin Dynasty sighed in his heart, from the early stage of human history, many people who have made outstanding achievements in some aspects are often not specialized in scientific research, but engaged in carpentry, plasterers, builders, painters, etc., and real science has become a profession, which is only available when society develops to a certain extent.
"The whole people are literate, and they know how to use the "Theory of Tools", coupled with the vernacular to replace the ancient text, and remove the fetters of the ancient Chinese writing that makes people unable to write, so that the folk craftsmen, businessmen, and capable people can write their own research into books in the vernacular and publish them to the world, so as to promote the whole society to make great strides forward, which is more realistic than I throw out the knowledge of later generations!" It can be said that this is the real purpose of the Qin Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
