Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 842, heresy?
Here at the primary school affiliated to the Jingcheng Machinery Factory, the entire campus is quiet. Examinations are being carried out in classrooms one after another. Those who pass the examination can enter the middle school run by Liu Jin to continue their studies.

If you fail the exam, you can start to enter the industry under Liu Jin's command and start learning and polishing from an apprentice. After you have reached a certain age and mastered a certain technology, you can gradually be promoted from an apprentice to a master.

Such a route planning was also carried out by Liu Jin with reference to the education system of later generations.

You don’t need too many people engaged in research, you only need real geniuses. In fact, the most important thing for most people is to master a technology and specialize in a field, which is even better.

Therefore, those who graduate from elementary school take the technical route, and those who enter middle school slowly take the research route.

Perhaps many people will want to laugh. Elementary and middle schools are still children in later generations, but this is Daming, an era when science and technology have not yet been enlightened. The knowledge of elementary and middle schools in later generations is very, very Very advanced.

So there is nothing wrong with doing research after graduating from middle school. Once you have the basic things, you have a tree trunk, and you will see if you can branch out later.

"I heard that Liu Jin has built more than [-] primary schools like this in the Beijing-Tianjin area alone, and nearly a hundred in the entire Ming Dynasty."

In the campus, several people are strolling very leisurely.

Emperor Hongzhi took a closer look at the appearance of this new-style school with great interest. The new-style school is very different from the traditional private school.

There are several classroom buildings here, all of which are made of reinforced concrete. The windows of the classrooms are also very large, all of which are made of glass windows. They are very bright, and you can clearly see the candidates inside who are writing hard.

At the same time, there are many slogans written everywhere on the campus.

For example, without the Ming Dynasty, there would be no Chinese clothes.

Without Emperor Taizu, there would be no Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi guided the Ming Dynasty forward with a high vision.

Emperor Hongzhi loved the people like his son~
China is number one in the world.

The descendants of Yan and Huang should strive for self-improvement!
Loyalty, patriotism, self-improvement, self-love!
Such slogans, etc., are actually similar to some slogans seen on campuses in later generations. They are nothing more than to promote the spirit of patriotism and educate children on ideology and morality.

Seeing these slogans, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but nodded.

Well, that's right, the promotion was very good, and it won my heart.

Without his own ancestor, Comrade Zhu, wouldn't the land of China still be under the tyrannical rule of the Mongols?
It is precisely because of Lao Zhu who led the children of Huaxia to rise up, overthrow the rule of Yuan Yuan, and restore the clothes of Huaxia, so everything is possible today.

Only Emperor Hongzhi himself was praised, and he still felt that his old face was blushing. It seemed that he was not as good as he imagined. The above portrayal of Emperor Hongzhi's majestic image, um, basically seemed to be in line with him.

The propaganda of loyalty, patriotism, self-improvement, and self-love is also very good. In Daming, loyalty to the monarch naturally comes first, followed by loving Daming.

Yes, yes, I like it very much, and I am very relieved.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Liu Jin likes to build schools. There are many schools built by him every year. These schools recruit children from poor families. As long as they are willing to come here to study, they are all free of charge. Have a meal."

"It is said that Liu Jin spends millions of taels of silver on the expenses of these schools every year."

Liu Jian who came out with Emperor Hongzhi also nodded solemnly and said.

Everyone knows that Liu Jin likes to run a school, but the school Liu Jin runs is too different from traditional private schools. For this reason, he was strongly opposed by the Confucianism. Many great Confucians wrote letters to Liu Jin, hoping that he can be in the school. Strengthen the education of the Four Books and Five Classics in the schools we run.

Because of this, he, the chief assistant of the cabinet, also received letters from all over the Ming Dynasty asking him to put pressure on Liu Jin.I hope Liu Jin can change his teaching method.

Liu Jian knew about this matter, and he knew it very well.

"Millions of taels of silver!"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard it, he couldn't help being a little bit dumbfounded. Liu Jin was willing to spend such a huge amount of money.

"Liu Jin said that his family was poor in the past, and his mother suffered a lot and suffered a lot in order to support him in studying, so he will help more children from poor families to study when he is capable."

"He also said that reading is the most effective way to change a person's destiny. He hopes that one day, every child will be able to go to school."

Liu Jian nodded slightly and continued.

For people like Liu Jin, he actually admires them quite a lot.

Young, talented, capable, but not extravagant and licentious, on the contrary, he is very keen on education. When he has money, he likes to build schools and provide free education for people.

Such a person is definitely a person with a noble spirit, and he is also the most admirable person.

Liu Jian felt that he could not do this, not to mention spending one million taels of silver a year, even spending one thousand taels of silver a year to run a school, Liu Jian felt that he could not do it.

"Every child can go to school?"

"Did he really say that?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his eyes widened slightly.

"Yes, he said so."

"He also said that not only boys should study, but girls should read more, because only by reading can they understand things and understand right and wrong, and a woman can often influence three generations, so it is very important for girls to study."

Liu Jian nodded solemnly and said.

Sometimes Liu Jin's words and deeds are very strange, which makes people feel unbelievable, as if he is out of tune with this era. Sometimes Liu Jin's words are very straightforward, not at all polite, not like the way a scholar speaks.

But Liu Jin's words contain deep truths, and are more understandable and understandable, and are easier to understand than Confucius's "Zhi Zhe Ye" and "Confucius said Chengren".

"It's true that Liu Jin loves running schools, but the schools he built teach heresy teachings. The content of the teachings of Confucius and Mencius is very small. These heretical teachings are all trivial ways, and there is no such thing as Confucianism and Mencius's teachings.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Liu Jin should be put under pressure to strengthen the content of the teachings of Confucius and Mencius in these schools, to teach more of the Four Books and Five Classics, and to greatly reduce the teaching of heresy."

At this time, Wang Jia, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up and said that he was also very clear about this matter, and he had been suggesting to Liu Jin for a long time that children should read more books and five classics, and learn less heresy, so that they can Let children understand righteousness, understand right and wrong, and respect Confucius and Mencius.

"A side door?"

"What do you teach in this school?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately became interested, and said quickly, "Go get some of their books."

"Yes~"

When Xiao Jing who was beside him heard this, he also hurriedly gave orders to Xiao Huangmen beside him.

"Your Majesty, the teaching of these schools founded by Liu Jin is very different from traditional private schools. Instead of reading the Four Books and Five Classics, they divide all the content into eight categories: Mandarin, History, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Physical Education, and Geography. course."

"Only a few of the Four Books and Five Classics are included in the Mandarin class, and none of the other courses contain any content about the Four Books and Five Classics."

"This physical education class is even more degrading. They actually teach these children martial arts, dancing with knives and guns, bending bows and archery. Isn't that degrading and what is it?"

"There is also this chemistry class, the content taught there is some knowledge and content of quacks and lakes, the biology class actually talks about the defense of men and women, and the content taught in this geography class is actually a bit of the theory of Feng Shui Mr. .”

"What are these if they are not heretics?"

"Reading such a book is not only useless, but it will also lead the children astray, away from the way of Confucius and Mencius, how can you know the meaning? Understand the way of the monarch and ministers?"

Wang Jia said with a bit of heartache, when he said this, his beard fluttered in anger.

For this matter, he had a lot of chats with Liu Jin. He wanted Liu Jin to change the teaching content of these schools. Teaching these things was not helping these children, but harming them.

Those who don’t read the Four Books and Five Classics, don’t know the ways of Confucius and Mencius, don’t respect enlightenment, and don’t know the etiquette are heretics, and the contents written in the books don’t have any profound meaning. Such schools are running more and more, attracting more and more people. Wouldn't it be a mistake for the children to go to school if this continues?
"My lord, you've said too much~"

Hearing Wang Jia's words, Li Dongyang couldn't help but stand up and say.

This makes the schools run by Liu Jin useless. Although Li Dongyang also feels that the content of the Four Books and Five Classics is too small, which is not conducive to the teaching of Confucius and Mencius, these schools run by Liu Jin still have their merits.

It’s not right for Wang Jia to deny it completely. He, a rotten Confucian, only knows the way of Confucius and Mencius, but he doesn’t understand anything else. Just like the scholars of Ming Dynasty, many people seem to be really useless except for what they know. .

The Four Books and Five Classics are very important, and one has to read and study them a lot, so as to be able to understand the righteousness, but reading the Four Books and Five Classics alone may not be of any use.

We are all people who have been here before, and have been able to come to where we are today. The Four Books and Five Classics are just tools for their scientific research. The real way to govern the country is learned from other books.

"That's right, the prince's words are too much~"

"The purpose of Liu Jin's establishment of these schools is not for the imperial examinations, but to enable children from poor families to read and write, and at the same time to obtain some knowledge that is helpful to life. "

Liu Jian also nodded and said that he actually supported Liu Jin very much. As for Wang Jia, he was just a rotten Confucian.
