Chapter 473: All-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, and beauty
PS: There are two chapters at the top of the 5,000 chapters
If it were placed in later generations, Zhao Wuxian's behavior of only emphasizing the loyalty of scholars to the monarch but forgetting the monarch would definitely be criticized by the Confucian scholars.
But fortunately, this is an era when it is popular to "want to open a public office while a retainer is a great crime", not to mention the towns that are like independent states. The people of the Lu State also only knew allegiance to the Ji clan for a time, and did not know Lu Hou. Confucius and his disciples also ran from nation to nation and impermanence, and although he advocated loyalty to the king, he did not emphasize the specific monarch to whom he should be loyal. The consciousness of the disciples of Confucius is not as high as that of Kong Qiu, and they do not feel that it is wrong for Zhao Wuxian to do this, this is the consciousness of the times at work.
Before Gong Xichi and the others could recover from the excitement of the four subjects of the primary school, the next three subjects announced one by one and the time they occupied made them realize that they had been extremely challenged.
In addition to etiquette, Chinese children in primary schools also have to learn calligraphy, that is, literacy; archery, that is, the general term for military sports such as bow and archery, keju, hunting, and horse riding; In addition, there is also a mathematics subject, of course, it is not as high-end as the equations that Ji Qiao usually plays, but it only teaches the most basic Liujia, Wufang, and arithmetic......
Not to mention that Zhao Wuxian replaced the driving in Liuyili with a horse, and let Gong Xichi and others insist on driving and refuse to ride alone. And mathematics, although it is also one of the six arts of the gentleman, has always been a foil for etiquette, but in the ten days of class time in elementary school, the first is archery, and mathematics and calligraphy and etiquette have two days each.
The masters of the archery department are mainly selected from the army, the calligraphy and etiquette departments are mainly Confucian disciples, and the mathematics department is the apprentices of Ji Qiao.
Heavy force in troubled times. This point made people have nothing to say, but Gong Xichi and the others realized it. In addition to Confucianism in Xilu, and the doctors who gradually took shape. There is another private discipline that exists.
Digital science, which was founded very early, is integrated into the official, and its sense of existence is not strong on weekdays. But nowadays, whether it is the officials of the provinces, or the officials of the treasury, or the merchants who travel the world, they are all involved in this school of playing "Zhou Ji Numbers". It also encompasses a large number of areas, ranging from small bargaining in the market to living within your means every year. As big as measuring the height of the sky and the weft of the earth!
Their sensitive nerves were touched, the history of being challenged by Shao Zhengmao's disciples in Qufu a few years ago is still in front of them, it is said that this person has been attacking the master recently, this kind of thing is about to repeat itself in Xilu?
Wow, it's really "bearable, unbearable"!
In short, when the "end" status of mathematics, which was not valued, was equated with the "essence" of one's own etiquette and music, some radical Confucian disciples began to criticize mathematics disciples on some occasions. This is why Gong Xichi and Ji Qiao raised the bar in front of Zhao Wuxian.
"Mathematics is also one of the six arts of gentlemen in Confucius, and there is no distinction between high and low and high and low, so why should it be discriminated against? For those students in primary school, learning to count is the only way to make a living. In the future, they may be merchants. or as an official, or into the army, if you don't even know the taxes and calculations. The height of the hillside is not measured, and the depth of the river is not measured. I don't know how to coordinate the baggage and heavy corn, and I am not good at scheduling the number of divisions and brigades. How else to do the pillars of the Si Kou!? ”
"Otherwise, mathematics is just a trail, and etiquette is the avenue. Etiquette is the norm of heaven, the norm of the earth, and the basis of all the actions of the people......"
Ji Qiao is emphasizing that there is no difference between a person who can't count and a salted fish, not to mention wanting to be an official or an official, and even unable to gain a foothold in society. And Gongxi Chi has been emphasizing the etiquette, which is the discipline of the upper and lower levels, the warp and weft of heaven and earth, and the reason why the people are born, the boy must learn etiquette.
Zhao Wuxian was amused in his heart, the status of the two people in front of him was not high, and their power was not heavy, but they were blushing. It seems to be a battle of snails, but at a deep level, it is the first time that it will determine the status of several schools and Confucianism. But how could he be so familiar with the scene in front of him? It seems that when the review time of the third year of high school was tight in later generations, the political teacher and the math teacher fought over the belonging of a night self-study.
However, it is good to have some competition, but Gongxi Chi is wrong about one thing, Zhao Wuxian can let the disciples of Confucius teach knowledge, but he can't spread ideas excessively, because the purpose of the disciples cultivated by the official school is obvious, they are all to learn and excel, and use them in the world!
Because of this, Zhao Wuxian involuntarily took on the post of the big sacrificial wine in charge of education, regardless of Confucianism, mathematics, and medicine, if they want to develop and grow, they should engage in private academics, and they can't let them meddle in the mountains casually.
Seeing that the argument was about to evolve into a move, he always put himself in the position of the arbiter in the academic dispute, and he knocked on the case without arguing in person, and said slowly: "The time of mathematics must not be reduced, and the calligraphy and archery courses cannot be cut either, and this matter ends here, and etiquette can be practiced in ordinary life, and there is no need to take up time, because I want students who have come out of official school......
A playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I hope they can develop morally, intellectually, physically, and aesthetically in an all-round way." ”
……
"All-round development of morality, intelligence, physical beauty? Zigong, do you know what this means? ”
With the opening of Punan, Zigong will also take a boat to Yuncheng from time to time, and even participate in the construction and economic planning of the wharf.
He is now the most valued and meritorious among the disciples of Confucius, so Gongxi Chiba came to ask for advice.
Zigong businessman was born, and he is very kind to mathematics, and he is now extremely proficient in abacus and Zhou Ji numbers, and he is about to catch up with Ji Qiao, but out of reverence for Confucius, he is embarrassed to say that learning more arithmetic is indeed more useful than learning empty etiquette, he took a sip of warm soup and said: "Actually, it is literal, it is not difficult to guess." ”
"Virtue is morality, and only by learning etiquette and music can we cultivate its virtue; Wisdom is wisdom, and solving mathematical problems can best consider wisdom; The body is physique, the gentleman must practice archery, and in his spare time, he bows, the martial arts, and the prince Gancheng, how to enlist in the army and fight without physique? Older ones can teach horseback riding......"
Gongxi Chi muttered: "Actually, in my opinion, it is better to drive, the Jin people are between Rong and Di, and they have learned the habit of the Di people riding horses and wearing silk, and Si Kou is good elsewhere, which is quite suspicious of the summer of the Israeli descent......"
Zigong shook his head: "This is no longer a light proposal, you don't know the reason why Si Kou can be valued in the Zhao clan." It was done by a single-horse hunt, and since then, the Zhao light cavalry has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. Some time ago, I let the older incoming disciples ride horses and shoot arrows. Di Xuan, who was dressed for easy activities, did cause a lot of protests......"
It's not small. Many Confucian disciples and local clans believed that "China's Rongyi, the people of the five directions, all have sex and cannot be moved", and refused to let their children practice riding and archery.
Zhao Wuxian didn't expect those teenagers who only had one day a month to ride a horse to be able to ride and shoot, but the general trend in the future is that riding a horse alone will be widely used in the army, and when the time comes, will they have to find a car? But I didn't expect it to cause such a big reaction, and I felt that these Lu people felt that it was okay for Jin people to wear it. Not when it comes to yourself? Lu's atmosphere is really much more conservative than Jin's.
He immediately remembered the lesson of the later Zhao Wuling King Hufu riding and shooting, and did not dare to slack off, and immediately announced:
"It is helpless to wear a narrow sleeved jacket on the upper body and a silk jacket on the lower body, which is more convenient for hunting and fighting. The cavalry comes like a bird, goes like a string, no one can match, I gallop the territory with such an army, this can be invincible. This move is to master Di's long skills to control it. But in ordinary times, the aristocratic people still wear Chinese clothes, and they will never change! ”
This has made the opposition much less and the hearts of the people have calmed down.
Zigong felt that many of the enemies of Confucius were now in the Zhao clan's forces. Such as thieves, such as the famous man Deng Xi, the master and Zhao Wuxian also have some irreconcilable contradictions. At this sensitive moment, their every move is very passive. At this time, if you can not cause trouble, you will not cause trouble.
He went on to explain: "As for beauty, the first class of the students who enter the school is taught by the master. All people are Chinese people, and China has the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua; There is a great etiquette, so it is called summer. This is the so-called morality, intelligence, and physical beauty, and today's travelers, even if they only have one of them, can be a retainer, and Si Kou really wants a lot......"
……
Xiang Lu, a playful boy, was just within the age of entering school, and he didn't pay much attention to his dropout status before: the public loss class was to learn the craft from his father in the workshop, and Xiang Lu lazily felt that his level was far from being taught by a master in elementary school, so it was better to save the shackles and find a taxi to follow in a few years.
But the good days soon came to an end, and since the time he took a photo in the Lonely Garden, Zhao Wuxian has been obsessed with him, and he can't help but say that he will be arranged to enter a government-run school. These "school disciples" all have a roster in the Yuncheng Mansion Treasury, and the master can not only call them at any time, but also beat them. Of course, for these students, Zhao Wuxian also has some preferential treatment, which can exempt them from taxes.
Isn't Xiang Lu known as a prodigy? Then you have to pass all four items of Lile Book! How early the prodigy died, I don't hope that he can exercise more to exercise his thin physique, and he may not be a pillar of talent in the future.
School classes are not as frequent as in later generations, ten days a month, and the next day off, but Xiang Lu felt bored, if he hadn't been able to pull the bow and step on the horse, he would have shown his true colors as a prodigy, humiliated his master and forcibly graduated and ran.
But it was also an interesting day once in a while, and on this day, the Master showed them a book, not a bamboo book, nor a golden silk book, but a paper book, as if showing off a family heirloom!
"The Three Character Classic?"
The public loser's family is in the paper mill, and Xiang Lu often runs over to play when he has nothing to do, although the core part can't be aggressive, but he also knows the rough. Although the bamboo paper is still in trial production, but the quality exceeds the public paper, the price has not increased rattan paper has been made, with the promotion of the price reduction of inferior paper, paper books such a fresh thing has also begun to appear, but it is relatively rare.
The students of the school were immediately assigned homework, recited the "Three Character Sutra" with the master, and copied it, and once they knew all the words on it and could explain the meaning, they could pass the test and continue to study the "poems" and "books".
"You want to use this book to teach us to read?" A local clan disciple in Yuncheng next to him was semi-illiterate, and could only write his own clan and name, biting the tip of the brush and frowning.
Xiang Lu recited silently: "That's right, Si Kou uses three characters as intervals to include ancient and modern classics and history, etiquette and music, medicine, and common sense, such as this paragraph, which is not strictly taught, the teacher is lazy, the son does not learn, and it is not appropriate, which is used to persuade learning." This period of Xia Youyu, Shang Youtang, Zhou Wenwu, the Three Kings, Xia Chuanzi, and the family world are classics and history. Rice, sorghum, wheat, millet, the six grains, the food of people, horses, cattle and sheep, chickens, dogs, and pigs are all about the five grains and six animals. Everything is catchy and concise, and it is perfect for you to learn from a teenager. ”
He spoke in a old-fashioned manner, as if he were twenty. And not ten years old.
It's too early to print this kind of thing, anyway, in the Spring and Autumn Period, many books have tens of thousands of words. It is not very difficult to copy by hand. So they had the magic manuscript "Three Character Classic" in front of them, and it took a lot of time to recall and sift through them. If you really can't think of it, you can only be original.
So Xiao Xiang Lu still saw that something was wrong, and he muttered to himself: "Why do you feel like there are a few lines missing in the middle?" ”
……
After completing the transportation of salt and grain, and after settling the spring income and expenditure, Zigong asked carefully: "Zongzhou's national culture is divided into primary schools and universities, I wonder if there is a university in Si Kou's Yucai school?" ”
Wuxian glanced at him, as the head of the Confucian disciples in the power, this sentence was certainly not asked casually.
But he hoped that Zigong would be in business and not get involved in this muddy water, so he smiled and said, "Not yet." As the so-called ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, education is the slowest effect, looking at Xilu, the early years of the township school basically existed in name only, so we can only start from the most basic, wait for three or five years, cultivate a group of young people and talk about others. ”
In fact, Zhao Wuxian didn't say everything, under the plan of him and Zhang Mengtan. Universities are definitely going to do it. Because the purpose of official learning is very clear, the disciples are in order to be able to become officials in the future, and there are not so many ideals and academics mixed with private learning. However, relying on these basic knowledge taught in elementary schools alone can only produce low-level officials. But there can be no higher-level talents.
So in his vision: "The son of the Chinese people enters primary school at the age of ten and learns four subjects. Those who are better than cavalry and archery and five soldiers can enter the black clothes at the age of fifteen, and those who do not want to join the army can study at the age of fifteen. Call it Junshi. After the gentleman was crowned, he was examined, and indeed there were talented people who could be officials. Those who perform well are then converted from officials to officials. ”
In the Spring and Autumn Period, officials and officials were not as clear as those of later generations. Confucius went from a small official to a great uncle and a middle doctor, and he also followed such a process.
This is a recommendation system that has already taken shape in imitation of the Zongzhou period, but after layers of screening, the children of Chinese people who can really enter the university are a minority after all, but it is also an important weapon to break the hereditary lineage of blood patriarchy with the rise of scholars! Moreover, Zhao Wuxian planned to let the separation of civil ministers and military generals come earlier, after all, with the development, professional bureaucrats are needed, and it is easy to create courtiers like Liuqing who are in power.
There are two types of disciples in the university, those who have graduated from elementary school, or those who are really talented. In terms of subjects, Zhao Wuxian still focuses on applying them to the world, believing that they can learn to live within their means, draft documents, lawsuits, laws, etc., and of course, ideological and political education cannot be stopped.
But the problem is that Xilu's law is extremely loopy and too simple, and he still wants not to ask Zhao Ying to borrow Deng Xi, who is good at formulating laws, to come here.
This is also the reason why he doesn't tell Zigong about this matter now, the people of Confucius are very hostile to Deng Xi......
Because of the limited time and money and food, the official school is only open to the countrymen and the children of military officials for the time being, but the common people, savages and even the hooligans are not without room for improvement.
Zhao Wuxian has always believed that society is the best university.
Therefore, in addition, there are three special "schools" such as agriculture, industry, and medicine, all of which have specializations and belong to a different system from official learning, but they are all possible to become officials after learning something.
"Learn and excel!" This is a slogan that has excited countless people, and this proportion is much higher than that of the inspection and imperial examinations of later generations, and Zhao Wuxian also swore that one day, he must be educated without class! Although that may be something that can be done decades later.
As for the orphan girls who let the concubines take care of them, although they practiced textile housekeeping, and the smart ones could even teach the number of books of etiquette, but in order to avoid irritating the ancients, Zhao Wuxian did not engage in girls' schools for the time being.
By the way, there is also the "Yulin Orphan" who was adopted by Zhao Wuxian.
The more than fifty teenagers in the Lonely Garden have been gathered together to teach the five soldiers to ride and shoot, and Zhao Wuxian hopes that in five years, or even ten years, they can grow into the Yulin Iron Army!
……
Putting away his vision for the future, Zhao Wuxian asked Zigong again: "I heard that Liu Xia's feet have set off a lot of storms and waves on the big river, and even Chen's big ship transporting copper and tin has been robbed, and five hundred catties of bronze have been transported to Xilu, I don't know when it will arrive?" ”
Zigong was stunned and groaned for a moment.
Stealing the foot is also a pimple in Zigong's heart, the disciples of Confucius will not forgive this person, but he is a smart person, so he can endure to work with him. And I have to admit that the thieves have contributed a lot to helping Xilu fight back against the Qi State's cargo colonization war.
As for whether privateering is too much...... The war is not over yet, not to mention that the Qi people banned salt first, and he and Zhao Wuxian are just fighting back reasonably. As for those businessmen who were affected, he only blamed them for being unlucky, he Duanmu can promote the beauty of people, but he can't hide the evil of people, and he has a strong psychology of directly repaying grievances.
So Zigong said: "From the big river to Taoqiu, you have to take a land route, and then you can go down the river, which should be a matter of the past few days." ”
Originally, it was said that in the two drums and bronze, the thief could be divided into three percent, but he was very smart and sent his share back to Zhao Wuxian to distribute it, and Zhao Wuxian finally had to show his doubts and exchange it for money to compensate him.
Zhao Wuxian was also thinking about it, if he transported back sixty percent, it would be as much as six hundred catties, what would he use it for? Casting tripods and other ritual vessels? Is he not so stupid, or is he struck more than 100,000 new coins that have been in the making for a long time? After all, the more he looks at the shell currency of the Lu country, the more unpleasant it becomes, and the Qi knife, which is the most popular in Xilu, is the currency of the enemy country, and he has to let the Qi country start playing high-level economic sanctions at any time and kill them fiercely.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a bulletin outside, and then Yu Xi hurriedly walked in.
"What's wrong?"
"Si Kou, there is news from Wei Guo that Liu Xia has engaged the Chen fleet on the big river!" (To be continued.) )
