Chapter Eighty-Seven: Our Times
In the auditorium, there was silence. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Not only the students in the audience listened to Zhu Cihong's deafening questioning, but even the teachers on the stage couldn't help but think about it carefully.
The English Civil War, Europa, Magellan, the Doctrine of the Circle of the Earth......
After listening to the new words, there are countless questions and endless confusion.
At this moment, listening to Zhu Cihong's question, he naturally couldn't stand the doubt, and it was a kind of timid quietness.
"Gentlemen, as a student of Jingshi University. I have three words to send to you. First, hold the purpose. If you want to know whether this purpose is above board, you must first understand the nature of the university. It is a natural expectation that there will be a job after completing your studies. But that doesn't mean it's all about applying what you've learned. What's more, it's not the same at university. A university is a place for the study of advanced knowledge. This means that if you have any other thoughts, please think more and don't come to the wrong place. β
"Whenever outsiders accuse me of the Ming Dynasty, there are many corrupt people who seek wealth, and they are angry and angry, and the critics are prosperous. If you want me to say, you are right. But these critics are really hard to say how righteous they are. Zhu Cihong looked around the audience, and his eyes suddenly became solemn: "Because such a person, when he talks about corruption, he will speak righteously." However, every time he finished speaking, he picked up the eight strands of merit, and thought angrily that one day, he would be able to become Tian Shelang and go to the corrupt hall at dusk. What they are angry about is not the corruption and injustice, but they have no chance to be corrupt. These are ridiculous people, and they are by no means what I hope will be the future success of the hall of Beijing Normal University. β
"I have also heard that many students are eager to enter the grammar school at the beginning of their studies. As a result, there are fewer people in science, and even fewer people in workers, peasants, doctors, and businessmen! Zhu Cihong said in one sentence, and many people in the audience were a little restless.
After the opening of the Kyoto Normal University Hall, it was first caught up in the controversy over the internal division. In this era, except for the Nanjing Normal School, the Army School, and the Beijing Normal School, which had been in preparation for a long time but had not yet opened, there were no such institutions of higher learning.
Many people planned to follow the model of Guozijian, but Zhu Cihong vetoed it.
The study of law, calligraphy, and arithmetic in the Guozijian can be regarded as practical homework. But this kind of Guozijian is more like a vocational training school for officials than a university hall.
So after some debate, what was finally presented was the two directions of arts and sciences. Literature is the school of grammar and law, science and engineering are of course simple, mechanical engineering, medicine, agriculture and so on.
For most students in this era, studying is to become officials. It is a matter of course to learn and excel. Therefore, as soon as I entered the school, I flocked to the grammar school. I don't care whether I want to read literature, Confucianism, or the study of law.
Even if you are interested in learning mechanical engineering or something, you will be ridiculed, and some people even take the risk of making fun of the deeds of the carpenter emperor.
During the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian's calamity to the country was something that many people in this era were talking about.
"Most of the scholars above my grammar are either serving officials or retired officials, and very few have not served in their lifetimes. So when the school class started, I heard that there were many students who did not ask the depth of knowledge of the teacher, but only asked the size of the teacher's rank. If you can choose a high-ranking official and a eunuch, you will be complacent, thinking that you can be a protΓ©gΓ© of a high-ranking official and help your career in the future. Every time I think of this, I can't help but think that those who criticize, even if they have a few crooked thoughts in their hearts, are right. When Zhu Cihong said this, his eyes were like lightning, looking around the audience, like a sharp sword, making the entire audience silent, and everyone couldn't help but tremble.
"Responding to criticism and discussing whether others are appropriate or not is naturally not necessary to go into detail here. For me, the best way to do this is always to improve yourself. Others say that it doesn't matter if you don't learn and don't know how to do it, or you just want to be greedy for money and lustful. If there is no such thing, and there is a clear conscience, why should we be afraid? If you really ask for that promotion, you can go to the Guozijian. If you want to make a fortune, look for another business school. There is no need to waste time in the hall of Beijing Normal University and waste your mind. Therefore, we have a purpose and explore advanced knowledge. When he entered the grammar school, he studied literature, the law, and the true meaning of Confucianism. The purpose is determined, and if you study wholeheartedly, you will be able to explore the profound knowledge in the meantime. Otherwise, with the heart of being promoted and making a fortune, and bent on seeking the ability to drill the camp, once out of work, he has no long things, so he can only barely find a study to give lectures, and he will definitely mislead people's children. Trying their best to infiltrate the government office will definitely bring disaster to the country and the people. Isn't it misleading others and yourself, leaving half a life of regret? β
"Second...... Self-cultivation and governing the country, the first thing is to hone the mind and correct the character......"
"Third...... Dear teachers and friends......"
β¦β¦
Zhu Cihong stood on the rostrum, his breath was suppressed and frustrated, and when he talked about the rise, he clenched his fists and raised his arms, and when he talked about the heaviness, he spoke in a low voice.
With the ups and downs of Zhu Cihong's words, the hearts of everyone in the auditorium seemed to be infected in such ups and downs. Even outside the court, Li Yan listened in a daze, and couldn't help but remember when he was just a kid in Henan.
He lowered his head and couldn't help thinking: "If there was no army after that natural and man-made disaster, would I be able to go to Beijing to study, become the pride of the Ming Dynasty, and listen in the auditorium?" β
It's a pity that he obviously doesn't have a chance.
At this moment, Ning Wei signaled to Zhu Cihong that time was running out. I also have to catch up with a joint meeting of ministries and cabinets in the palace.
Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong nodded, exhaled heavily, and said in an extraordinarily powerful voice, from the bottom of his heart: "In the last era, we have survived the most obsolete pedantic past, the history of unbearable humiliation, and the arrogance of arrogance and closure. There, it was the worst of times. But in the same way, I have seen with my own eyes that now, in this era, there is the most vigorous new economy, there are brave soldiers, there are scribes who shoulder morality with iron shoulders, and write articles skillfully. There are industrious people, and there are innumerable people who are conscientious. There is the cultural heritage accumulated by China for 4,000 years. Therefore, I believe that the next era will be the best era. β
"In this day and age, I believe that this empire will never be bullied again. Because there are 10,000,000 people who will never accept humiliation. β
"I believe that this empire will be strong. Because he has 10,000 hard-working and brave citizens who love their posts and love their jobs. β
"This era belongs to me, and it belongs to you!"
After that, Zhu Cihong bowed.
When Zhu Zhiyu heard this, he slowly got up and applauded.
Seeing this, everyone behind him also stood up and applauded. Hearing this, there is naturally no one who is not emotional. I was amazed and pondered by the weather in Zhu Cihong's chest.
The audience applauded thunderously, and Zhu Cihong's repeated greetings were a little unable to calm the atmosphere. Seeing this, Zhu Cihong had no choice but to smile and wave to everyone one by one.
In return, he was rewarded with louder and thunderous applause.
In the audience, Wu Qiaoer applauded as much as she could, her eyes were shining, and she kept recalling that sentence: "This era belongs to me, and it belongs to you!" β
"Our time!" (To be continued.) )
