Chapter 953: A Genius Delayed by Money
Merchant!
And it's purebred.
Guo Dan's last sentence also made Gu Xiancheng wake up, and he finally understood why he was suppressed by Guo Dan's momentum.
The reason is because Guo Dan is a businessman with a very high status and does not need to have too much respect for him.
And so it is.
The reason why Guo Dan agreed to Gu Xiancheng was not because he admired Gu Xiancheng, but because Gu Xiancheng's reputation could make his Yinuo School go to the next level.
It's that simple.
It's not much different from any other deal, it's a win-win deal.
This is also fully illustrated by the subsequent agreement on the contract.
Generally speaking, Gu Xiancheng has the final say on where he teaches and what he teaches, but this is impossible in Yinuo Academy, he is just a dean, and the curriculum must still follow the plan proposed by Guo Dan.
The characteristics of Yinuo University are economics, medicine, agriculture, and so on.
Yinuo School is also the only college that does not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Bachelor's College does not teach this, but the students who can enter the Bachelor's College have memorized the Four Books and the Five Classics by heart.
Gu Xiancheng only served as the dean.
His responsibilities were more about management, as well as developing the educational model.
And Gu Xiancheng has no intention of changing the curriculum of Yinuo Academy, he also feels that these studies are needed by the country, and what he wants is also the management and education model.
The two sides hit it off.
Of course, both sides have the power to fire the other.
Gu Xiancheng didn't want to be Guo Dan's puppet.
After completing the contract with Gu Xiancheng, Guo Dan officially announced that Yinuo School will be divided into two, divided into north and south colleges, and now Yinuo School is the North Academy, and before the economic crisis, many colleges in Kaifeng Mansion were closed, Guo Dan acquired some colleges, and those students were formed into the South Academy, the South Academy will be dean by Gu Xiancheng, and the North Academy will be dean by Li Zhen.
Whether it is Huaiqing Fude Art College, Guide Fu Law School, or Kaifeng Fu Taxi College, it will be divided into two, but the medical school is independent of the two colleges.
Because medical school has become very special, involving the interests of medicine, Guo Dan will not let others get involved.
And the reason why Guo Dan divided Yinuo School into two, in fact, there is nothing else, that is, in order to expand enrollment, Wanli will put Enke in Yinuo University, or if he doesn't squeeze out the interests in it, Guo Dan will feel that he has a negative grace, and Gu Xiancheng is just a very good gimmick.
Sure enough, when many people learned that Gu Xiancheng and Gao Panlong had joined Yinuo Academy, they immediately fell to Yinuo Academy.
In the past, many people did not come to Yinuo School just because of Guo Dan, a businessman, and felt that it was very embarrassing to join an academy built by a businessman.
Now that Gu Xiancheng has joined Yinuo Academy, what else are they embarrassed about.
Of course, this Gu Xiancheng is also a ruthless character, he directly declared to the outside world that he is very much in favor of the educational philosophy of Yinuo Academy, which is the main reason why he joined Yinuo Academy, but at the same time, he fiercely criticized Li Zhen and others, expressing his unwillingness to let the concept of Yinuo Academy be destroyed in the hands of Li Zhen and others.
In this regard, Li Zhen only said lightly that the students' grades and prospects will speak for themselves, and the dean's mouth should not be used to determine the winners and losers.
This Li Zhen is not a master to be messed with, he knows that Gu Xiancheng is a true gentleman, and in terms of morality, it can be said that he is impeccable, so he insinuated that Gu Xiancheng's only shining point at present is that mouth, but the academy is about the future of thousands of students, not a mouth that can explain everything.
Gu Xiancheng immediately ridiculed North College as the only college in the world where students have higher degrees than the dean.
He was born as a Jinshi, and Li Zhen was just a lifter.
Li Zhen immediately reminded Gu Xiancheng that the founding concept of Yinuo School came from a child, and his status in Yinuo School has always been nothing, and learning is the most important thing, and Gu Xiancheng is destroying the concept of Yinuo School.
Before this began, the north and south houses were already in full swing.
It's a division!
But for Guo Dan, it is to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Because Shixue and Xinxue are the two major factions, they have always been in a state of stagnation, and their competition can undoubtedly unite people's hearts.
It can be said that there is a wide range of students!
Su Xu and Cui Youli were still eating melons at the beginning, watching the two of you eat dogs, but the taste changed when they ate them.
Something is wrong!
You two are singing a double reed.
This sings and sings, why is there nothing to do with us.
The students and teachers all ran over there.
The Nanjing Academy, headed by Su Xu, immediately erected the banner of the "School of Merit" and advocated applying it to the world, promoting both righteousness and benefit, benefiting workers through trade, and reducing taxes.
It can be seen that Su Xu also knows that the rise of industry and commerce is the trend of the times, so he chose a more utilitarian school, in fact, he is personally mercenary, and he will do whatever is useful.
I also study that Yinuo University has six departments as the subject and sets up courses.
But he is very smart, he knows that playing technology, is not to play a promise school, he takes the management route, he put forward a proposition, that is, the Ministry of Industry is not required to carry the mud, but to know how to choose the most suitable program, and the most suitable talents.
Of course, this is true, technology and management are two disciplines.
And the Shandong University headed by Cui Youli hurriedly erected the banner of Cheng Zhu Lixue.
The bull ghost looked like he was all up.
Among them, except for Li Zhen, the rest of the schools belong to Confucianism.
Li Zhen's Yangming Xinxue is actually Confucianism, but his personal proposition is actually more Legalist, in fact, Confucianism has almost become a family, and the disciplines of Yinuo School contain a large number of Mohist thoughts.
Each school of thought is distinct, which undoubtedly further proves Guo Dan's theory.
The hundred schools of thought are coming.
It's just that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the hundred schools of thought were extended from ritual music, and this time it will be extended from Confucianism.
As a direct result, the saints who defended the saints immediately became somewhat inadequate.
The Saint-only faction was born because of Guo Dan's speech, specifically to refute Guo Dan's theory, so an important theory of the Saint-only faction is that I am right and you are all wrong.
Otherwise how to defend the saints.
The saint must be infallible, and anyone who disagrees with me is wrong.
But in this case, of course, the others will not agree, according to your theory, then we will simply be dumb, and now we are very eager to speak, very eager to express our own opinions.
The more fierce the competition, the more support Guo Dan's theory received.
There was also the Emperor's faction.
Praise Wanli is the first emperor of the ages.
Li Zhen is a representative figure, and he began to take the lead in singing the praises of the emperor.
According to Guo Dan's theory, the reason why Wanli is the first emperor of the ages is that Wanli will open the era of the hundred schools of thought, there is a logical relationship in this, if you want to accept that this is an era of saints, you must accept that Wanli is the first emperor of the ages.
However, now many anti-elite scholars among the people, especially those from poor families, have let you share this cake, and whatever we eat, they have also joined the emperor-only faction to support the emperor to fight the powerful.
Gradually, many people began to support the emperor's new policy.
In fact, Su Xu and the other smart people have long thought of this moment, whether they fight or not, they will be calculated by Guo Dan's profiteers.
But they have no choice, if they don't fight, they will die, because Yinuo Academy is divided into two factions by itself, and the source of life is about to be robbed by them, so it is better to fight for it, and occupy a place first, besides, the age of the saint is not bad, in case he becomes holy.
And Guo Dan, the initiator of all this, did not join their controversy at that time, he didn't want to become a saint.
During this period, he has been translating Matteo Ricci's "Geometric Originals" with Aunt Xu.
Ricci was now preaching in Huaiqing Mansion because he found that the people of Weihui Mansion did not believe in him at all, and he later came to Yinuo School to give lectures, but the Confucian power in Kaifeng Mansion was so strong that he felt desperate, and he could not afford to debate with so many scholars alone.
simply went to Huaiqing Mansion to preach.
However, Xu Guangqi was fooled by him into joining Catholicism, and Matteo Ricci also handed over the "Geometric Original" to Xu Guangqi for translation, but Xu Guangqi had just learned the language of Franc and knew little about geometry, and it took half a year to translate two pages.
But this is a piece of cake for Guo Dan, although Matteo Ricci's language, Guo Dan doesn't understand it very well, but he doesn't need to understand it too much, after all, he knows this knowledge very well.
In a few days, he translated all the Geometric Originals, and also corrected some mistakes.
"Consultant Guo, I didn't expect you to be erudite and talented."
Xu Guangqi held the "Geometric Original" that had just been translated, and his admiration for Guo Dan was really like a surging river.......
In the past, he always thought that Guo Dan was just an excellent businessman, but his knowledge was not very good, and his words were written very ordinary, because Guo Dan did not show his talent in this area, but at this moment, he knelt down completely, and he also understood what it means to have someone outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky.
Guo Dan said: "I admit that I am a genius who has been delayed by money, but there is no way, I love money too much, if I didn't think that this "Geometric Original" could be printed and sold for a few dollars, I might not have wasted this effort." ”
Xu Guangqi nodded straight.
Everything you say is right.
Aunt Xu on the side smiled lightly: "You better be honest, where did you steal this knowledge." ”
She really benefited a lot in a few days, and in the process of writing, she was also very fascinated by this geometry, but she was not in a hurry, because she had the opportunity to ask Guo Dan for advice.
But she also saw Guo Dan's erudite side.
Guo smiled lightly: "Didn't I say, I have a teacher Franco, he also taught me this geometry, and then I was idle, and I studied a lot, my charting technique, is extended from geometry, but later I found that this knowledge is useless, and it can't make money, so I put it aside and didn't care, and I devoted myself to studying and trading." ”
Is this the willfulness of genius?
Xu Guangqi was really embarrassed, and said: "Consultant Guo, you can't say that, this geometry is very useful for construction, firearms research and development, and water conservancy. ”
Guo smiled lightly: "Okay, okay, you have said it hundreds of times before, and I have also promised to regard this geometry as a must-learn knowledge in Yinuo Academy." ”
In fact, he didn't know the importance of geometry, he just said it through Xu Guangqi's mouth, after all, he didn't like education work, so he pushed Xu Guangqi down and let him be this card.
His focus is still on making money.
"Dean! Mrs. Dean! ”
I saw Li Zhen enter the house.
Guo Dan immediately frowned, and said, "Baiquan Monk, you came just in time, there is something I want to talk to you about." ”
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment and said, "I also happen to have something I want to discuss with the dean, but the dean, you can say it first." ”
"As for praising Your Majesty as an emperor through the ages, it should be the work of me, the chief dean!" Guo Dan said excitedly: "What's the matter if you suddenly come in." ”
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said aggrievedly: "I originally admired the First Emperor as the First Emperor of the Ages, but I was persuaded by you, the Dean, and it is not right for me to support the Dean of your thoughts now?" ”
Guo Dan said angrily: "This has nothing to do with right or wrong, this is about performing their duties, you just have your knowledge, don't rob this sycophant, your writing is so good, you brag so much, it will be noisy, and then everyone thinks that you put it forward, but it is really unreasonable." ”
Xu Guangqi and Aunt Xu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Zhen was also dumbfounded.
But the facts are really as Guo Dan said, Guo Dan's eloquence is good, but the literary style is not good, and Li Zhen can't be compared, two days ago Li Zhen took advantage of his translation of "Geometric Original", published a piece of "On the Emperor of the Ages" in the newspaper, comparing Wanli with Emperor Qin, Han Wu, and Tang Zong, as for Song Zu, he didn't mention it, he didn't think Song Zu was qualified to compete for this seat, of course, Taizu He didn't mention it.
That article was really wonderfully written, every word was beautiful, and it held Wanli to the sky, which made Guo Dan very dissatisfied.
Aunt Xu rolled her eyes slightly and asked, "Layman, what do you have to say?" ”
Li Zhen hurriedly said: "I hope to open a women's college in the North Courtyard to recruit women to study." ”
He has always advocated respecting women, thinking that the view that "women are short and unworthy of learning" is due to the environment, not that women are really useless, and this is definitely contradictory to Gu Xiancheng's proposition.
Guo Dan immediately said: "No." ”
Li Zhen said: "Why not? The dean's Buddhist teaching, doesn't it also recruit girls? ”
Guo Dan said: "Yes! So I've thought of this for a long time, but I'm going to wait until I'm older, and I'll open this women's college myself, and I'll be the teacher myself, and I'll teach them by hand. ”
