Chapter 218: People only focus on farming, while officials have more to think about!
Zhu Biao's eyes were slightly different.
I couldn’t help but marvel in my heart.
Liu Sanwu was highly valued by his father. Although he was indeed a bit pedantic, his talents were still real. However, now he suffered one after another in the hands of Xia Zhibai, and he could not even speak, which also made Zhu Biao's heart Laughing secretly.
He quite agrees with Xia Zhibai's point of view. Confucianism and Legalism are just tools for governing the country. However, today's scholars are putting the cart before the horse and holding the "Four Books and Five Classics". He regarded the contents as golden rules and regulations, completely losing his own ideas and completely becoming a puppet of Confucianism.
This trend cannot be encouraged.
He studied Confucianism.
But just as a tool.
I don’t want to be bound by those Confucian scholars.
Zhu Biao said: "Okay."
"The words of Academician Xia are indeed inspiring and enlightening, and the words of Academician Liu also have a certain truth. As the saying goes, haste makes waste, and changing the world's education system cannot be done in a hurry. This requires scholars from all over the world. Cooperation cannot be achieved overnight."
"But it is indeed a direction."
"The world has been suffering for a long time."
"Too many scholars hold this in mind. He thinks he understands the principles of the world, but after so many years, he has not dared to boast so much. Now that the world is flashy, the trend of boasting should really be curbed."
"Now that the Great Scholar Xia has passed away. If you have an idea, just listen to it for once.”
"The bachelors of the Hanlin Academy will obey the orders of the great scholar Xia from now on."
"Gu Ye is very curious."
"What kind of teaching materials can the great scholar Xia compile for the world."
< br>"If we can really use this to change the world's customs and restore some purity to the scholars, I will personally ask my father for credit on your behalf."
Hearing this.
The faces of Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zhang and other bachelors changed slightly.
Fang Xiaoru said: "Your Highness, should we consider this matter in the long term?"
"I think this matter is important, and I will make a decision after discussing it with the ministers of the imperial court. Moreover, the compilation of teaching materials involves For the vast majority of scholars in the world, if one person does not handle this well, it may have a great impact on the court. Please think twice, Your Highness."
Huang Zhang also said: "Your Highness, be careful."
"I admit that what Academician Xia said has some truth."
"But the world is not governed by words."
"Scholars are the foundation of the world. Since the Zhou Dynasty, a hundred flowers have been blooming. But now the broad integration and unification will probably cause dissatisfaction among many scholars in the world, and this This move will also kill the trust of many scholars in the court, and I think we should think twice before acting."
Dong Guan and other scholars also advised him.
Although anyone with a clear eye can see that Liu Sanwu lost the argument, saying it is one thing, and whether to change it is another matter. If you think about compiling teaching materials well, you will probably be ordered to promote them all over the world. By then, the impact on the world will be too great.
Once it came, Confucianism was directly brought down from the altar.
Many Confucian scholars cannot accept this.
Secondly, if one textbook is used all over the world, does that mean that the content of exams will also change in the future? Wouldn’t the literary heritage of the South be directly wiped out and completely smoothed away? Isn’t this southern? Can a gentleman agree?
Thirdly, if the teaching materials are unified all over the world, teaching will inevitably be unified, and many scholars will lose their livelihood because of this.
This is very detrimental to the stability of the world.
Listening to the advice of the bachelors, Zhu Biao also felt a headache.
The resistance is too great.
There was not only resistance from the court, but also resistance from the local areas, and even resistance from the landlords and gentry who were involved with the scholars. In fact, when he heard Xia Zhibai's words when he came, he knew that this matter could not be like this. Let go easily.
These ministers of the Ming Dynasty were very cunning.
If I take this step back today and mention it again in the future, they will only have more excuses and excuses.
He knows these ministers too well.
Especially these "knowledgeable" bachelors, who quote scriptures and use the lessons of history to pressure others, do so with open mouth. Now Xia Zhibai can still make these people speechless, but this is mainly because they caught them off guard. Once these people are prepared, it will be even more difficult to achieve the current results.
Zhu Biao was silent for a while and said coldly: "I can make my own decision."
"The purpose of recruiting scholars in the Ming Dynasty was to select talents. The original recommendation system has been in effect for several years. Later, local officials recommended mostly "mediocre talents as tribute", and the imperial examination system had just been restored. But as Xia Xueshi said, the world was severely devastated by the Mongols. There was a great divide between the north and the south, and many scholars and common people were gone. The thought of family and country. "
"This phenomenon must be changed!"
"Scholars are the foundation of governing the world, and they should naturally bear the brunt of it."
"However, since ancient times, the promotion of rituals and music, the establishment of systems, the support of the country, and the beauty of governance are all based on Confucianism. Confucianists know the past and present, and understand the principles, and they are not comparable to mere grammarians."
"This textbook , I think I should still be an editor.”
“But I have to focus on it, but I don’t have the experience.”
“So I think for the time being, I should focus on the direction prescribed by Bachelor Xia. , but the compiled textbook is only a first draft, and will not be finalized until the court discusses it in the future, so it may be revised many times, which will also be troublesome to all the bachelors. "
Zhu Biao bowed slightly to everyone.
See it.
The faces of Huang Zhang and others changed slightly.
They were about to object again when Zhu Biao stood up straight and said indifferently: "This matter has been settled for now."
"The compilation of teaching materials is of great importance. , I don’t want the matter to make a big fuss in advance. Everyone knows it. Whether the imperial court will finally adopt it or not is still unknown. I don’t want anyone to announce and leak the Hanlin Academy’s compilation of textbooks. For the sake of the stability of the world, and to ensure Strictly, Guhui sent Jinyi guards to guard the surroundings of the Hanlin Academy. "You bachelors can write boldly."
Finished.
Zhu Biao continued: "I have heard a saying before."
"People can promote the Tao, but it is not the Tao that promotes people!"
"Since the Ming Dynasty used so many It is still hard to find a way to recruit real talents, so you might as well change your mind and start with the teaching materials. Gu Ye assures you that if this is really feasible, the names of all the bachelors will be engraved on the teaching materials, and they will be scholars all over the world. "I admire you."
"I believe that you are responsible for the Ming Dynasty."
"There is also sincerity."
"I am grateful."
Zhu Biao bowed to everyone again.
Seeing that Zhu Biao did not give them a chance to interrupt, Huang Zhang and others did not understand Zhu Biao's thoughts. They clearly recognized Xia Zhibai's thoughts and wanted to make a fuss about them in the teaching materials. They were also strictly prohibited from using these ideas. Things leaked out.
After hesitating for a long time, Huang Zhang and others were finally stubborn and said solemnly: "I will do my best and live up to His Highness's trust."
Zhu Biao laughed and nodded with satisfaction.
"Since all the bachelors have no objections, I can rest assured."
"I am waiting for your good news."
Finished.
Zhu Biao left directly.
After leaving the Hanlin Academy, Zhu Biao stopped, looked back, and sighed: "This Xia Zhibai really has ideas, but some things are not so easy to accomplish. And if the Ming Dynasty is really compiled, it will be promoted in the world." , I’m afraid the place will be in chaos for a while.”
Zhu Biao rubbed his temples and felt a little headache.
Things are right.
It’s just not easy to do.
He is not a prince who is inexperienced in the world. He has been handling government affairs for more than ten years. He is well aware of the difficulty of governing the world. He is also deeply aware of many policies and the great resistance to their implementation. This time it is the scholars who are moved. , I'm afraid it will cause even greater commotion.
But Zhu Biao just had a headache.
Scholars cannot make waves.
He does respect scholars very much, but that's all.
When you really need to be ruthless, you will never be merciful.
And if this matter can really come true, it will have many benefits to the Ming Dynasty. It will not only greatly weaken the voice of the scholars, but also strengthen the propaganda of the Ming Dynasty laws and enhance the patriotic awareness of the Ming people.
There are many benefits.
Hanlin Academy.
As Zhu Biao left, the originally silent attic became lively again.
Many people glared at Xia Zhibai.
Their original duties were very simple, that is, reading books, writing memorials, and giving advice to His Majesty. However, Xia Zhibai's actions pushed them to the forefront. Xia Zhibai had too many accounts. Worry, there are too many lice and it doesn't itch, but they don't.
Once word gets out that they are involved, their reputation will be ruined.
He will also become the public enemy of the scholars in the world.
Dong Guan looked at Xia Zhibai coldly and said in a cold voice: "Are you satisfied now? Because of you, we will become the world's sinners. I don't understand. Why do you have to stand out? Keep to yourself. Isn’t that bad at all?”
“Do you really think that you can change the world by yourself?”
“I heard you wanted to be a ‘waste warrior’ before, but I didn’t even think so. A joke.”
"But now I know that you are a madman."
"What do you want to do?"
"What good will it do to you to offend the world?"
" And how long have you been in the court? How much do you know about the world? "
"Do you know what you need to do as an official in the court? Which of these things you want to change is useful for governing the world?" br>
"You keep saying you think about the people, but I think you are deceiving yourself. All the people have to do is farm, but our officials have much more to consider. You don't understand at all. You only want to believe in yourself. I want to believe it.”
Dong Guan was already a little hysterical.
He simply did not dare to think about the pressure that bachelors like them would face if these textbooks were actually compiled.
This huge pressure is enough to crush them.
Xia Zhibai had a calm face. He looked at Dong Guan, whose face was red with anger, and sneered: "Maybe."
"But according to what you said, scholars only need to study, while farmers have to do things like planting, weeding, watering, serving, paying taxes, etc. Do they think less than scholars? The world is because of you There are so many people like this, so the education system has to be changed."
"Otherwise."
"Sooner or later, scholars all over the world will think that food grows on shelves. ”
“I just want to tell the people of the world that food is grown by farmers and the tools that people use in life are made by craftsmen. These are not created by scholars. I just want to tell the people of the world. The truth is, nothing in the world grows by sitting at home.”
