Is it that simple?

Li Hong was thinking.

"You should be self-motivated, so are there any obstacles in the process?"

Jia Pingan felt that he had the talent to be an interviewer.

"It's just that the children say that they are taught by the teacher well, but compared with the students in the city, they are much worse."

Qian Zun smiled, not worried at all, "It would be great if there are some good gentlemen."

Li Hong glanced at Jiang Feng

In fact, there were quite a few scholars in Datang. Except for being officials, most of the remaining ones were rich, and even if they were poor, few thought of teaching.

"If it takes more than half of the family property to let the children study, would you be willing?"

Qian Zun said without hesitation: "If there is a future in studying, even an old man who has lost his fortune will send his children to school."

This is the tradition of China.

One generation is for one generation, the parents can give the best to their children, one generation nurtures the next, and multiply.

"You two come here."

Jia Pingan beckoned the two teenagers over and asked, "What do you think is the use of reading?"

Qian Zun kept a straight face.One person slapped the back of the head, the sound was so loud that Li Hong couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb.

"Mr. Jia asked a question! Hurry up and say it!"

The tiger-headed boy on the left held the back of his head and said, "Sir, he said reading makes sense."

Hey!

Jia Ping thought of the future

"Reading is not only for understanding, but also not for understanding alone.

Jia Pingan thought of the era when Confucianism was prosperous in later generations. It can be said that it was blooming everywhere. Countless people found ways to make a fortune from Confucianism: tax exemption, convenient business, easy to merge land, and those upper classes are in the same class, and the benefits can be shared.

From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and then to the subsequent Manqing Dynasty, Confucianism has been developing continuously for hundreds of years. How about progress?

No improvement.

Talking and talking all day long, pondering people's hearts and human nature all day long, but making no contribution to social progress.

Such learning is regarded as the only prominent learning. Isn't this self-castration?

"Sir, you can only be an official if you explain the truth"

"What nonsense!"

Jia Pingan frowned, "It's important to study well, but what are you going to do afterward? Your parents sent you to the school. Apart from expecting you to learn how to be a superior person, they also expect you to learn from the books. The way of living"

Qian Zun was panicked at first, but laughed after hearing that, "Mr. Jia's words are not bad. The first thing I thought of sending them to school was to make them stand out. As for being a man, I have been a person for most of my life. Can't I teach them?"

Jiang Feng and others who were angry were stunned.

But Li Hong said excitedly: "Good job!"

Seeing the two teenagers at a loss, Jia Pingan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I just said so. What should be taught in the school, it's not right for me to ask the students today. Qian Gong's words are straightforward, in a word, reading is the most important thing It is to let the children and grandchildren be promising, right?"

Those slogans are useless!Later generations of the Donglin Party also played the signboard of serving the country and the people, but what they did was doing things that harmed the country and the people.He is full of so-called knowledge of sages, but he knows all about party and internal strife all day long.The emperor's mention of tax collection will inevitably lead to counterattacks against the emperor's good wealth and competition with the people for profit.But who are those people?

They are all rich and powerful!

When it comes to fighting, it seems that the old master's friends all have their own art of war, all of them are full of confidence and coaxing, and finally ruined Daming.

So what matters is what is done, not what is said.

Confucianism has developed for more than a thousand years, what has it brought to this land?

Can it bring about social progress?

In the end, the natural sciences were contemptuously called: strange skills and obscene skills.

"There are only so many officials, what should I do if I can't be an official?"

Jia Pingan sat on a low stool and said gently: "I think that students should learn how to make a living in the school, know how to increase their income, know how to improve equipment, and know how to open their eyes to see the world."

This is what students should learn.

"I either write chapters or write poems all day long. Can these make a living?"

When Jia Pingan mentioned this, he became furious, "Children from rich and powerful families can shade officials, so they have no worries about food and clothing. They learn Zhang Shifu and think they are elegant, but the children of common people learn these. Once they fail the imperial examination, they can go to the court. do what?"

Li Hong felt his head exploded.

"Mr. Jia's words reached this old man's heart." Qian Zun began to pour out his bitterness, "This old man's family has provided two children to study. It can be said that he has tried his best, but the children are doing all kinds of poems and chapters all day long, and what are they reading?" The old man was thinking about the words of the sages, what if they don’t pass the imperial examination? Come back and farm?”

He grabbed a boy's hand and spread it out, "Look at this hand, it's so white and tender, how can it be used to farm? Since he can't farm, how will he live after failing the imperial examination?"

These words can be called deafening!

Qian Zun looked at Jia Ping'an and said sincerely: "Although the old man is just a farmer, he also knows the principles of the family and the country. If the former Sui Dynasty does not exist, the world will be in chaos. The old man has tried his best. The taxes that should be paid are unambiguous. If the court If you want to be recruited in the middle school, this old man can go to battle and kill the enemy for Datang! Die without regrets!"

It's just a farmer!

Jia Pingan looked at him and nodded for a long time, "Everyone works hard, then this Datang will be even better."

Until he returned to the East Palace, Li Hong was still in deep thought.

Jiang Feng gave Zhang Song a look.

Zhang Song coughed dryly, "Your Highness, Confucianism can correct people."

He felt that his words were a little pale.

Li Hong raised his eyes, "After hearing what the peasants said today, I realized that the common people don't have any fear or expectation of reading sage books, but they think that their children and grandchildren can get ahead through reading. But if they can't pass the imperial examination, What can they do?"

He looked at his subordinates and asked in such a serious tone: "If you can't be an official after learning Confucianism, what do they do for a living? After learning Confucianism, you can only be a master. If you can't be a master, it's a waste of learning." It is even more frightening to be ignorant of this kind of learning. What if everyone in the world studied Confucianism? I am worried that there will be falsehoods everywhere, and people who are arrogant but don’t know how to make a living. At that time, the country will perish. Who can save it? ?”

Zeng Xianglin couldn't help saying: "Your Highness's words are very true. Nowadays, scholars can find benefits because there are fewer scholars. If there are more scholars, those people will probably have nothing to do."

This problem broke out later, so that many people were unwilling to let their children study.But those people have a way!

No tax!As long as anyone who is a little promising in his studies doesn't have to pay taxes!
