Chapter XVIII

Gander couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.

Fortunately, the coachman quickly said to himself again: "But we gunners have learned some skills to check the table, but we don't have the ability to write the watch ourselves." It's mostly some rote memorization.,The so-called practice makes perfect.,Have you heard the story of raising Yuki Shanji who is called a masterful person? ”

This is a story made up by Sishang, but at this time, everyone was making up stories, and many different stories were made up for their own purposes, and over time it became the story of Zhuxia.

Gander thought to himself, how could he not be familiar?

However, the coachman said, "Actually, we gunners are not as good as those in your school. Just like me, you are definitely not as good as me in cannonball, but in addition to cannonball, the things you say I have learned may not be useful. ”

"You don't need to know what is sine and cosine, and if you ask me to tell someone about it, I won't. Otherwise, I would have been a gentleman in the artillery school......"

Gan Deqi said: "Don't you always say that everyone is equal, divides their duties equally, and everyone enjoys everything? There is no distinction between high and low, and driving a car is not the same as being a gentleman? ”

The coachman laughed and said, "Sir, you're really joking. Being a man is naturally equal, he is also a man as a man, I am also a man as a coachman, and a giant is also a man, that is, the position is different. But the car comes and goes in the wind and rain, and being a gentleman is in the school every day, which is always different. ”

"But I also know my own ability, even if it is said that Shangxian divides his duties, then he must also have this talent."

Speaking of this, the coachman turned around and glanced at Gander again, and said enviously: "Gentlemen like you who have come from other places to study are generally capable. Just like the Qin Yue man who cut my arm, his medical skills are excellent, and there was no such healer in Sishang before he came. ”

"Sir is not only a scholar of the people, but also a famous person in the future. I heard that the calendar is going to be revised now, and it is said that the current calendar is not very accurate, and some days will be staggered every few years. Maybe in the future, when future generations use the calendar, they will have to remember the name of the gentleman......"

This retired gunner has been a coachman for a few years, although he is good at talking, but he is not nonsense, and he has a little bit of the meaning of seeing people talking about people and talking about ghosts.

After a few words of praise, Gander was heartfelt, and when he arrived at the place, he gave two more copper coins.

When they arrived at the school, there were many characters that Gander had heard of before among the students of their preparatory class, including some concubines of big nobles, as well as some branches of small nobles, at least the status of individual scholars, because if they were commoners, they would not have the opportunity to learn and write in other places, and most of them could come to Sishang.

Those who are local to Sishang are unlikely to appear in the preparatory class.

Because of the cultural advantages of Sishang, the children of the former elite class are just "preparatory people" in the new culture of Sishang, and they do not have much power within Sishang.

The composition of Si Shang is complex, but the whole is contextual.

At the beginning, more than half of the people who followed Mozi to do justice in the world were from the scholar class, and the remaining half were people from the market.

In the beginning, doing righteousness was a very high-style thing, and many people took pride in it.

After Sishang began to preach extremely cruel theories of struggle and contradictions, and Sishang began to preach such things as equality, synonym and love, and began to change "the vigor of benefiting the world into the simplicity and simplicity of benefiting the world, from holding a sword to asking about grievances to taking root in Sishang and Huaibei and going deep into the village and community", those who originally regarded righteousness as a high style began to gradually lose interest in the Mo family.

After the gradual death and aging of that group of old ink scholars, the new people of the suitable faction of Sishang rose, most of whom were born in the original agriculture and industry, and because there was no military merit in Sishang and no land sealing system, they became full-time officials and bureaucrats.

The scholars who originally regarded the world as a vigorous and romantic began to yearn for Sishang; Some foreigners who were speculative and did not necessarily want to benefit the world began to pour in; There are more people who sincerely have a group of people who are truly recognized and want to turn the world upside down when there is a disease in the world.

With the improvement of the education system in Sishang, Sishang no longer needs non-local scholars to act as the local cultural class, and with the monopoly of the new script and Tianzhi doctrine, the identity of non-local scholars has become extremely embarrassing.

The old art of domination is no longer applicable to the new era, and what the old aristocracy has learned, which was previously inaccessible to the commoners, has become more and more meaningless.

Just like a soldier who knows how to fight in a car and takes a battle as the center of gravity, a soldier who is proficient in the tactics and tactics of war is of course a talent thirty years ago. But now in Sishang, they are not talents, they need to re-learn, and even stand on the same starting line as many people.

This makes the current elite class in Sishang and the elite class of the old era almost separated in a large range, which also makes the family inheritance of the noble and lowly by blood division in Sishang completely destroyed.

The preparatory class in the university hall is mainly to leave a way for those opportunists, those who pursue knowledge, or who truly believe in the morality of the Mohists to dedicate their lives to the world, and to prevent the emergence of their own national consciousness of "Sishang clan" in Sishang, and to implement the idea of "loving the world".

This kind of sudden leapfrog development is the easiest to destroy the aristocratic inheritance, because the advantages accumulated by those aristocratic inheritances are gone.

It had only been two months since Gander came to the academy, and he deeply felt the kind of separation and overturning.

In fact, these preparatory students are very much guided by local students in the university hall.

It is said that they don't have any ability, but it's just because there was a good family that made silverfish in the past, so they had the opportunity to be in the school, and if they really went to school together since childhood, maybe they might not even be able to get into middle school.

It is also said that they occupy the quota of the locals in Sishang, otherwise some of their classmates in the past would not have been admitted to the university hall, but these people occupied the already small number of places.

There are even some complaints, saying that it is better to benefit the world early than later, and it is better to harm the world later, saying that their parents followed Mozi and Yuzi to go out to benefit the world, and they had to study hard to enter the university hall in their own generation; This group of foreign scholars disappeared when they were first benefiting the world, but now they can still go to the university hall to study, and it is actually the same thing......

Although the above orders are repeated and meetings are held frequently to try to remedy these divisions, the actual effect is not significant.

Gander is better, he is also from a family of Chou people, and when his ancestors were broad, the ancestors of King Wen of Zhou were still in the northwest to pay tribute to merchants and slaves, and he is only a scholar now.

But some noble concubines from other places were very discriminated against by some people in the school, and he only came here for two months, and he saw with his own eyes that the concubine of a well-known family in Wei State wrote a blood letter announcing the severance of the relationship between the old family, and announced that he would no longer use the money of the "silverfish" in the family.

In addition, Gander also has the advantage that he is a science student, and many foreign disciples from noble backgrounds can only study liberal arts when they come to Sishang, because their foundation is really poor.

The Mohists of Sishang pursued "Tianzhi", and these things of equality, synonym, and love have been set, and the remaining more "Tianzhi" lies in astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and other things, and everyone is proud of it.

In addition, with the development of government-run industry and commerce in Sishang, most of these science students can enter large-scale government-run industrial and commercial workshops and the military, while those who study literature and history will have fewer jobs than those who study science.

Many children of the aristocracy may have spent several years learning etiquette in their childhood before coming to Sishang, and after learning it, it is useless to come to Sishang for nothing, but it is the low-level nobles like Gander who belong to the official class who are more likely to integrate with Sishang, and they are the least discriminated against in the school.

There is a joke and saying in the school that those who are from the aristocracy are also divided into three, six, nine, etc., and the more expensive the bloodline, the more useless it is, but it is the people of the scholar class such as the Confucianism of the Lezheng clan who can still participate in the revision of grammar.

There is also a joke that the most expensive place in the school is either in the Western Regions language family or in the music department.

It is impossible for the army to allow these noble disciples to interfere, this is very strictly guarded, and it is impossible for the natives of the military academy department to accept these noble children; The science of the university hall needs a sufficient foundation, and the more noble the status, the worse the aristocratic foundation; It doesn't matter here that Mr. Teacher is, but most of the children of the great nobles who can come to Sishang are full of food and want to benefit the world vigorously, and it is impossible for them to be willing to go to the ravine to teach.

Diplomacy is suitable, but it is divided into internal and external, and the diplomatic Mojia within Zhuxia has never observed any etiquette, especially after the expansion of power, it is my rude and proud attitude, and these noble children do not need it.

That is, to learn the novelties brought by Solushen returning from the Far West, and to learn the language of the Far West; Or because you have a certain foundation in music, learn music.

Vaguely, Gander felt that Shangxian in Sishang also seemed to be shaping a new group of nobles, but it was completely reversed: the military and industrial and commercial were basically the original disciples of the peasants and businessmen in Sishang, and these were the military and financial forces of the regime; Perhaps the most powerless music in the Western Regions are mostly the children of the old aristocracy.

It's nothing more than Sagehyun Sageghyon, it seems that everyone is on the same starting line, at least for now, and it's easy to turn the world upside down, completely reverse the original nobility and cheapness, and make everyone have a hope, at least hope and opportunity, which is terrible.

Thinking about it again, it seems that only Sishang can do this today: they have a new culture, new knowledge, and new morality, everything is new, and the family advantages accumulated over hundreds of years of feudalism have been completely invisible, and a thorough change has been implemented in Sishang so that everyone has enough opportunities. Otherwise, without all these new cultures, knowledge, and morality, even if the world is determined to be one in the future, it will only be ruled by the descendants of those families, because the old ones are developing slowly, and the most advantageous ones are still those big clans.

Gander thought to himself, this is really the sun and the moon upside down, and the theory that the earth revolves around the sun made by these people has ruined the theory of the division between heaven and earth, and also destroyed the foundation of the prophecy of heaven and earth...... Even Gander felt that even astronomy was just a tool used by Sishang to turn the world upside down, but I was afraid that the giants in Sishang were not interested in it at all, otherwise the universe was vast and infinite, how could anyone give up his life to study and become a giant?
