Section 39 The Nine Kings (II)

After sending off this group of students, Chen Zuocai began to ponder the school's education regulations again. There is no doubt that Chen Zuocai wants to build this academy into a strong fortress against careerists, but since he is the sacrificial wine of the academy, he has a sense of responsibility to preach and teach and solve doubts, and he is determined to cultivate a group of real pillars of the country.

In addition to literacy and arithmetic, Deng Ming also planned to open physical education classes, and this idea was also thrown to Liu Jinge after Deng Ming simply put forward it, or felt that there was no need to prepare for the establishment of the Ministry of Education for the time being, and according to tradition, culture and education were of course one of the tasks that the prefect yamen was responsible for. Liu Jinge did not have the energy or interest to take on the responsibilities of the Minister of Education, so the teaching arrangements, including physical education, were the work of Chengdu Academy.

When it comes to physical education, the other professors all believe that students should study seriously, and why should they be distracted from this kind of thing, rather than training farmers? The general view is to be perfunctory, don't let the whimsical Deng not come to the stage, and this bizarre idea that comes from spontaneous will die.

Before Chen Zuocai arrived in Chengdu, none of the professors in the physical education class that Deng Ming explained paid attention to, and he didn't know how to teach, so it was good to be able to take students to the school. Talking about poetry on the way to Qingdao is what it should mean, professors often cancel physical education classes at will, so that students can study in the classroom so as not to delay their youth, Liu Jinge has always asked about these, anyway, as long as the academy claims to give physical education class time.

After Chen Zuocai arrived, he inspected several physical education classes, and the discoverer courses basically existed in name only, and some professors took Deng Ming's handwritten "running" and "long jump" and other items and smiled bitterly at the sacrificial wine, saying that the Yangtze River Admiral used the seeds of reading as combat soldier training. What's more, in a physical education class that Chen Zuocai was observing, he also saw the professor sitting in front of the flowers and plants with 20 children sitting with their eyes closed and recuperating their minds, teaching them the method of self-cultivation and self-cultivation. The professor himself is very good at cultivating qi, although he is still a young scholar, but as soon as he closes his eyes, he can sit for an hour without moving, and just sit in a physical education class like this. Of course, the children were far from being able to compare with their professors, and there were always people who talked and moved around when they didn't sit for a long time, and whenever the professor was in good hands, he used physical education classes to train his mind, and this kind of thing was promoted in the academy as a successful experience.

As a result, the professor who was satisfied and thought that he could get the praise of the sacrificial wine was scolded by Chen Zuocai, who also looked down on Deng Ming's teaching content, and cut it all except for running, and changed it to archery, horseback riding, spear throwing, and stone throwing. After making a fuss, everyone guessed that this Chen sacrificial wine had been the general manager under Mu Guogong for several years.

"The sage said that he should be proficient in the six arts, and now the Tartars are pressing step by step, and the scholars must not only read the books of the sages and sages, but also be skilled in bows and horses, so that they can serve the emperor and prosper the Holy Dynasty." After Chen Zuocai expressed his opinion, he asked Liu Jinge for the tools of physical education, but bows and arrows and spears were easy to handle, but the horse prefect yamen could never provide it, except for the necessary ones for the army and the government, the rest were sold by Deng Ming. couldn't stand Chen Zuocai's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and later when Liu Jinge sent troops to send a bunch of stone locks to the academy, he also sent a few donkeys and a Mongol.

Now this Mongolian named Geriletu is the physical education professor of the academy, as the former Janissary of the Eight Banners, Geriletu is superb in equestrian skills, riding donkeys is naturally not a problem, and can also control several donkeys at the same time to fly long and jump on them to perform acrobatics, so that the students let out waves of surprise cheers. Bow and arrow is also the old profession of Geriletu, Gaoyouhu during the first war because he was seriously injured and was not included in the death squad, so later there was no military treatment, unwilling to work for the merchant had to come to the academy to eat. Under the lesson of Geriletu, although the children of the academy are far from being able to walk through the Yang in a hundred steps like a physical education professor, they are all full of posture in drawing the bow, and their arms and eyes are a bit elite at first glance.

In recent days, Geriltu has been whispering in Chen Zuocai's ear, and he also has a few Mongolian friends who hope to come to the academy to become a professor of physical education. These Mongols, like Geriltu, were reluctant to work for low-status merchants, but fortunately, Deng Ming had explained before leaving that he could lend living expenses to Mongols who could not find jobs, otherwise it would be a problem for them to eat. Despite this, these former guards and warriors of the Eight Banners are still so poor that they can't open the pot, compared to striking iron and farming, the professors of the academy seem to them to be a very honorable errand, and the Han people all say that if they read well, they are Wenqu stars, not to mention that these scholars may become officials in the future - although they are a little arrogant, they are not stupid.

Geriletu assured Chen Zuocai that several of his brothers were also well-known heroes, and that when they were in Beijing in the past, the teachings of the wealthy families might not be eye-catching. In a few years, he will definitely be able to help Chen Zuocai train a group of strong men, and when the time comes, the physical education professors will take the Wenqu stars to kill a few bandits and practice their courage, even the Royal Forest Army deserves it!

Although he has been a soldier for several years, he asks himself if he intersects with this Mongolian Han sword, it is estimated that he will be slaughtered by the other party in the blink of an eye. However, the construction of Ge Ri Letu still made Chen Zuocai hesitate, he knew that this was very beneficial to the students of the academy, a group of scholars with the righteousness of the monarch and the court, and the courage and martial arts, it was self-evident how much significance it would have to the dangerous Yongli Emperor and the Southern Ming Dynasty. But now some people have bad intentions towards the academy and are eyeing Chen Zuocai.

Just after Chen Zuocai asked Liu Jinge for a bow and arrow and a straw man, Xiong Lan, the traitor who only knew that he was going to welcome Deng Ming, also came to the academy, Chen Zuocai suppressed the disgust in his heart, and reluctantly entertained this little maid. After Xiong Lan looked inside and outside the academy, before leaving, she also asked Chen Zuocai if he needed a big knife, spear, or even helmet armor, if there was a need in this regard, Xiong Lan claimed that she could help.

The academy wants bows and arrows, donkeys, javelins, and stone locks to strengthen children's physical fitness, but it is not really a military training, so what do you need armor for? Chen Zuocai rejected Xiong Lan's "kindness" without thinking, but Chen Zuocai pondered it afterwards and felt that Xiong Lan's words did not seem to be so simple, and there seemed to be a sinister evil intention hidden in them.

Before coming to Chengdu, Chen Zuocai thought that the professor would reluctantly make a generous statement, and then bravely take justice. But in the past two months, Chen Zuocai has gradually developed feelings for the academy, and if it is a holiday, he will undoubtedly be able to exert greater influence and better cultivate a group of loyal and filial sons with both wisdom and courage. And if you want to achieve this goal, then Chen Zuocai can't arouse Deng Ming's suspicions, although it was an unintentional move to reject Xiong Lan's armor that day, but it must have also played a role in protecting himself, if Chen Zuocai listened to Ge Ri Letu's Jianyì to recruit more Mongolian warriors into the academy, then I am afraid it will give Xiong Lan a chance to attack him.

When he was hesitating, the order of the prefect's yamen was sent to Chen Zuocai's desk, and after seeing that Deng Ming was going to inspect the academy, Chen Zuocai suddenly fell into an ideological struggle again. If you want to save yourself, you have to say something in the course that can make this powerful minister happy, and after retaining his position, Chen Zuocai can use Deng Ming's trust to continue to exert his strength, and plant the seeds of loyalty and patriotism in the hearts of more professors and children.

"I can bend and stretch, and my husband can bend and stretch." Chen Zuocai repeated this sentence meaninglessly in his mouth, and several times he almost convinced himself that he was temporarily thinking of a snake.

"But what if you find an excuse for yourself, give in for the rest of your life, deceive yourself, and you can't stretch it anymore for the rest of your life? Today I think it is for the future, will I deceive myself again in the future, thinking that there is no owner of the artifact, only the virtuous and powerful live in it? Chen Zuocai sighed, made up his mind, and wrote a letter to the prefect's yamen, saying that in two days, all the classes, including those professors in Xiating, would be convened, and the governor of the Yangtze River must be present to observe.

Two days passed in a flash, and the professors of Chengdu Mansion saw the order to sacrifice wine, and heard that the governor of the Yangtze River was coming in person, and none of them dared to slack off and rushed to come.

Deng Ming had arrived, and all the professors had gathered in the large lecture hall of the academy, and Chen Zuocai was still bathing, and he methodically combed his long hair to the slightest. Take out your best clothes and put them on in front of the bronze mirror.

"Originally, I thought that I would run this academy well and educate talents for the country, but after all, it was still wishful thinking." Chen Zuocai carefully closed the last few letters, carefully sealed them and left them on his desk, one of which was to ask the prefect yamen to pay for the recruitment of another batch of physical education professors for the academy according to Ge Ri Letu's proposal.

Walking out of the room, Chen Zuocai took one last look at the letters left on the table, then gently closed the door, and walked towards the lecture hall with his head held high and without hesitationβ€”he already had the consciousness that he would no longer have the opportunity to step through the door behind him.

Walking into the lecture hall, Chen Zuocai saw Deng Ming sitting in the middle of the first row, and Admiral Changjiang and other professors were sitting under the podium together, instead of being high up like a prayer feast.

"Even then you can't buy me." Although the other party showed great respect for himself, Chen Zuocai was already like a stone.

Sitting next to Deng Ming was Xiong Lan, who had visited the academy once, and when she and Chen Zuocai met their eyes, Xiong Lan had a malicious smile on her face.

"I have a heroic spirit in my chest, what is the axe to me?" Chen Zuocai didn't let his eyes linger on Deng Ming or Xiong Lan's face, he politely bowed slightly to the Yangtze River Admiral, and then straightened his waist and strode to the podium.

"There is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech...... Chen Zuocai began his lecture sonorously.

Chen Zuocai spoke eloquently, but what moved Deng Ming the most was not his words, but the passion that flowed from his words, and when Chen Xijiu spoke of emotion, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, and he waved his arms excitedly - this is very rare when speaking in Confucianism.

Because of his engagement, Deng Ming didn't even notice the inquiring eyes of Xiong Lan next to him from time to time, and on the other side, Liu Jinge became more and more uneasy, because Chen Zuocai gradually began to attack Deng Ming's policies, the committee he organized, his refusal to pay tribute to the imperial court, and his private meritorious service in Chengdu...... And many, many more.

"If Chen Zuocai always lectures like this......" Liu Jinge felt a chill rise, he didn't know that Chen Zuocai had let go of his scruples today, and his words were a hundred times sharper than before: "Why didn't I come to audit the event earlier, and the academy was closed early?" ”

Behind Deng Ming, the other professors also moved their bodies gently in their seats, and Chen Zuocai's righteousness also made many professors feel unhappy, after all, they all came to Sichuan from downstream, and they all had shaved their heads under the Manchu Dynasty, and the kind of moral pride that Chen Zuocai showed also made these professors feel stinging. In the past, Chen Zuocai was relatively restrained, and the professors could tolerate it, but today Chen Zuocai is really unbearable.

The whole lecture hall was silent, this was completely Chen Zuocai's performance alone, it was a stage that only belonged to him, and it took a whole hour for Chen Zuocai to scold Deng Ming's various unsubservient behaviors. But Chen Zuocai was still unsatisfied, he took out the arithmetic textbook written by Deng Ming from his arms and threw it heavily on the table.

"Deceive the world and steal your name!" Chen Zuocai shouted, Deng Ming's arithmetic textbook has a lot of knowledge about geometry courses, and Chen Zuocai is different from these poor professors in the college, as a gentleman of Dali, his vision is much broader, and he also has a dabbling in the geometry translated by Xu Guangqi, and he can see through these things at a glance where Deng Ming came from.

Soon, Chen Zuocai began to attack Deng Ming's education policy again. Chen Zuocai was not opposed to learning geometry, and he also admitted that the arithmetic society would help officials deal with affairs, but Deng Ming's translation was different from Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua, and he used Arabic numerals and Greek mathematical symbols extensively in the textbook, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and completely Westernized it without considering China's national conditions.

"China, Yidi, beasts! There is tolerance is great, and Yidi's things are not impossible to learn, but what is the intention of devouring Yidi's things like this, copying Yidi's things word for word? Could it be that in the Admiral's mind, Yidi's things are so good? Today, the Admiral learns Yidi without discernment, and worships Yidi beasts so much, is it tomorrow that he will learn from beasts without discrimination? It's just the Tartars, they haven't been mad to such a point, have they? ”

Chen Zuocai's questioning voice echoed in the lecture hall, Deng Ming's face turned pale with anger, and his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists: "If you don't learn ready-made and easy-to-use symbols, is it appropriate to create a bunch of ghost charms that no one can understand?" And I just want to promote arithmetic, even if you don't think it's good, take a better set out, you can't take it out, and you still engage in this kind of heart-damaging theory...... This is called worshipping Yidi beasts? At least I haven't taken a Jew's dream story as the truth and forcibly spread it throughout the country. ”

Originally, Deng Ming listened very attentively, but since Chen Zuocai began to attack his arithmetic textbook and began to question his intentions, Deng Ming's anger rose uncontrollably.

Liu Jinge was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and even forgot to jump up and scold Chen Zuocai loudly, Xiong Lan didn't continue to cast an inquiring gaze at Deng Ming now; At the beginning of Chen Zuocai's speech just now, Xiong Lan felt several times that it was time to take down and fork out that maniac, but Deng Ming never ignored him, and now Xiong Lan just lowered his head and looked at his knees, although Deng Ming beside him was still silent, but from the other party's face and clenched fists, Xiong Lan knew that the Yangtze River Admiral was in an unprecedented rage. Even when Wanxian surrendered to Deng Ming for the second time, Xiong Lan didn't feel the other party's anger to this extent, but one thing was the same, now Deng Ming's body once again exuded bursts of murderous aura, which made Xiong Lan feel a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu - when Wanxian knelt in front of Deng Mingma, he felt this kind of power.

The guards standing at the door of the lecture hall all glared angrily at Chen Zuocai on the podium, they were all loyal subordinates who had followed Deng Ming for many years, and watched Deng Ming fight bloodily again and again, beheading the captives under his horse. A guard officer was already holding the hilt of his sword, and he didn't understand Chen Zuocai's lecture at the beginning, but since the other party took out the arithmetic book, Chen Zuocai scolded Deng Ming for half an hour.

"The Admiral can even kill the Tartar Emperor, can't he kill you a vertical son? If you see the Tartar Emperor, will your knees not be weak? The officer stared at Chen Zuocai, and as soon as Deng Ming gave him the slightest hint, he strode forward and stabbed his sword into Chen Zuocai's chest.

Deng Ming's clenched fists slowly loosened, and he knew that as long as he moved his fingers, he could kill Chen Zuocai on the spot.

"Maybe I can pardon him and beat him with a stick to get angry, even if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty also has a court staff?" This idea flashed through Deng Ming's mind, and Chen Zuocai, who was opposite him, had already finished his lecture and was looking at him without fear.

Deng Ming's gaze moved down slightly, and landed on the arithmetic textbook on the podium, which was a book that he had poured his heart and soul into, and Deng Ming didn't know how many nights he had spent, struggling to recall the lessons he had learned in the dim candlelight. And Deng Ming didn't have Chen Zuocai's so-called heart to deceive fame, he didn't know that Xu Guangqi had translated a book, and even explained to the professors that he was not original at all, but borrowed from Taixi sages.

"Free scholarship cannot grow on the soil of the best, if the authority of Catholicism is not overthrown, there will be no development of modern science, if the authority is not questioned, there will be no new heaven, mathematics and physics; Regardless of whether the doubt is correct or not, the most important thing for science is to question, and now China does not have many advanced achievements to learn, and by learning alone, China will never become an advanced scientific power. I hit Chen Zuocai today, no matter what the reason, no one will dare to say a bad word about this arithmetic textbook, right? ”

Deng Ming stood up, turned his back to Chen Zuocai on the podium, and raised his arms high.

"Well said the old sacrificial wine!" Deng Ming said the first sentence with difficulty, and after this sentence was spoken, the following sentence was much easier.

Deng Ming applauded vigorously and continued to cheer loudly: "Chen Xijiu is well-spoken!" Well taught! That's a great story! ”

Driven by Deng Ming, the professors first echoed and applauded sporadically, and finally turned into thunderous applause: "Chen Xijiu is so good!" ”

After complimenting, Deng Ming walked to the podium and tried to squeeze out a smile to Chen Zuocai: "Chen Xijiu, I will lead the troops to Xuzhou tomorrow, and when I come back from Xuzhou, I will come to the academy to listen to the teachings." ”

The evolution of the matter also surprised Chen Zuocai, and the overwhelming applause and cheers made him stunned, and replied blankly: "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, the world is very fortunate, and the court is very fortunate." ”

"But I'm not going to change it." Deng Ming said immediately, he pointed to the arithmetic textbook, and said hatefully: "These symbols are very easy to use, I won't change them, and I don't agree to change them until the academy comes up with better symbols." ”

It was only at this time that Deng Ming felt a little sulky.

"Just as the Admiral wishes."

……

The next day, Deng Ming left Chengdu and rushed to Xuzhou, and in the following days, Chen Zuo found that the professor's eyes were looking at him with more reverence and respect.

"The sacrificial wine is really remarkable." Today, the prefect's yamen sent a reply, including the recruitment of physical education professors, Liu Jinge agreed with all the requirements, and prepared for the academy as quickly as possible. After the assistant handed over these reply letters to Chen Zuocai, he couldn't help but praise them sincerely: "The sacrificial wine that day really frightened me. ”

"It's also a sign of the Admiral's magnanimity." Another professor picked up on the side: "Advice is against the ear, it's hard for the admiral to listen to it." ”

"Hmm." Chen Zuocai sat on the chair that he thought he would never have the chance to sit on again, and said sternly: "This is nothing, the Admiral of the Yangtze River bears the weight of the country, and it is appropriate to have this kind of strength." Besides, he didn't listen to it, and he still refused to change the textbook. ”

Although Deng Ming said that as long as the academy came up with a better way, it could be changed, but Chen Zuocai did not organize people to think about a set of symbols that were more suitable for national conditions and culture.

After a while, Chen Zuocai snorted: "I think that back then, when Emperor Xian (Emperor Wanli) was in power, the courtiers made a mistake (scolding the emperor for being shameless and shameless, and scolding the concubine for bewitching the lord), didn't Emperor Xian not get angry?" Compared with Emperor Xian, what is the measure of the Admiral? ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zuocai paused for a moment, and added after a while: "Emperor Xian hasn't changed, he can't listen to advice, and the same is true for the admiral." ”

After reading the official letter from the prefect's yamen, Chen Zuocai asked the students who were waiting outside the door to be brought in, and he corrected his homework overnight yesterday, and now it is time to give these students insufficient guidance.

……

"Our Sichuan's water and soil nurture people," Chen Zuocai and Deng Ming's affairs have long been spread throughout Chengdu, Liu Yao They have nothing to do in the Senate, and they are scolding Liu Jinge all day long, but in the past two days, the interest of the Qingcheng faction has all turned to this anecdote, and Liu Zhifu has been scolded a lot less: "Do you say that the Admiral has the style of the ancestors?" ”

"That's right, magnanimity is definitely the style of the ancestors, if you want to say that the water and soil of our Sichuan are good." The Qingcheng faction echoed loudly: "Let's go and cheer for Chen Sai Wine another day, this is much better than commenting on the book." ”

"But Mr. Storyteller doesn't swear."

"Hey, the admiral has scolded, we have to save face if we scold us." Yang Youcai didn't care: "If Chen Xijiu scolds us, we will applaud him." ”――
