Qiming 1158

Chapter 992 Deputy Lu, has such a thing happened in the Southern Dynasty?

Hearing this kind of thing, not to mention that Yu Yunwen's head was messed up into a pot of porridge, and Lu You was not much better.

A country that has completely overthrown Confucianism, however, is pursuing the idea that there is no difference between teaching and learning, and is putting it into practice.

And a country that uses Confucianism to govern the country in an all-round way has failed to do so, and failed to educate the people.

They even thought that those Li Shu at the bottom did not need to be educated at all, they could just keep being stupid, and they could just give birth. What books should they read?What kind of education?
Why is there such a big difference between the Confucian school of Confucianism, which made its fortune through education and finally defeated the rest of the scholars, and the Ming Dynasty, which dismissed Confucianism?
At the beginning, the reason why Confucianism was able to defeat other scholars was not just because of a policy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but because the educational work of Confucian scholars was the best. it is good.

Even without Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Dong Zhongshu, it would be a matter of time before Confucianism became an academic hegemon.

But as time passed, when Confucianism became the absolute academic hegemony, they also began to self-enclose, and made themselves a scholar, and closed their inheritance.

Up to now, the Ming Kingdom has deposed Confucianism and denied Confucianism, but it is doing what the old Confucian school would do.

What strange contrast is this?

Lu You felt extremely absurd.

Yu Yunwen felt the same way.

He found that when he came to the grassroots level of the Ming Dynasty, not only did he fail to solve the things he wanted to solve, not only did he fail to prove the things he wanted to prove, but there were more and more things that could not be solved.

Not only did it not prove that all this was false, but he found more and more things that he could not deny.

The more he panicked, the more frightened, the more he realized that it was all true, and he just didn't want to admit it was all true.

He was afraid.

He was afraid that once he accepted the fact that all this was true, he would no longer be able to successfully complete the mission that Zhao Tan gave him, and he would no longer be able to convince himself to look at Ming from a cold angle.

He will carry a heavy ideological and moral burden on his back.

So he didn't stay here for long and left.

"Deputy Envoy Yu, don't you want to look again?"

Wang Qi called to him from behind.

"I'm tired, let's go back!"

Yu Yunwen stopped, replied, and then quickly walked towards the road where he came.

Wang Qi looked at the slightly embarrassed figure of Yu Yunwen's departure, and felt a little proud in his heart.

Then he turned around and found that Lu You was looking at the children in Meng Xuetang who were recognizing characters, and he was a little lost.

He didn't disturb Lu You.

After a while, Lu You came to his senses and looked at Wang Qi standing beside him.

"Is the Ming Kingdom really planning to popularize education so that everyone can read and read?"

"It's not preparation, it's already being done."

Wang Qi smiled and said, "I am from Shandong, although I am not the first group of people who followed His Majesty's army, but the first to be literate. My hometown is not far from the place where His Majesty started the army, so Very early to accept His Majesty's governance.

At that time, His Majesty's army was still called Shengjie Army, with only a few thousand people and a small scale, but His Majesty has already begun to relieve our burden. He exempted us from extortionate and miscellaneous taxes, and sent people to guide us to establish a peasant association. The instructor taught us to read.

We were doing farm work while recognizing words, and we kept learning from the instructors what kind of victories and achievements His Majesty had won, so when His Majesty defeated the gold master Wanyanliang, because I knew a lot of words, He was recommended by his instructor to join the Restoration Army at that time and did civilian work.

Later, when I was working in the Restoration Army, I conducted further studies, recognized more characters, and learned real books. This process took about two years. During this period, I joined the revival society and learned more. There are many things, so just a year ago, I was assigned to work in Honglu Temple. "

After listening to what Wang Qi said about his experience, Lu You seemed to be very emotional.

"Master Wang's study must be very serious, right?"

"Of course, there are several generations in my family, all of them are tenants, facing the loess and back to the sky, they have been dealing with the land from birth to death, they have never left their hometown, and they can't leave, just like wearing heavy shackles. Same, can't break free.

Later, His Majesty came down, smashed the shackles on our bodies, and distributed land to us. Not only that, His Majesty also gave us the opportunity to read and write. At that time, I was ignorant and didn’t know what it meant to me. .

But now, when I look back and look at the time, I can see what kind of kindness His Majesty bestowed on me, for letting the son of a tenant farmer read and write, and now he is an official. It was only six years before and after, and in just six years, I have been reborn, and The past is completely different, and there are countless people like me in Daming. "

Wang Qi sighed and asked proudly, "Deputy Lu, has such a thing happened in the Southern Dynasty? Is it possible for the son of a tenant farmer like me in the Southern Dynasty to be able to read and read, master knowledge, and become an official?"

Hearing this, Lu You thought about it seriously.

Search for relevant information from the memory formed by his life course of nearly 40 years in the past.

Unfortunately, according to the relevant laws and policies of the Song Dynasty, the content of his search cannot be displayed.

Perhaps there is nothing to show at all.

So Lu You could only reply in a low mood: "I don't know, maybe it happened, maybe it never happened..."

"I think probably not."

Wang Qi looked at the young children in Meng Xuetang who were writing seriously, and said, "The cost of letting a person study full-time is too high, even His Majesty can't make all of them read in one breath. level.

So His Majesty took a compromise approach, spending money on young children, allowing them to go to school and master their knowledge, and other farmers can read and write. How much did it cost to do this.

Real money is poured in, schools, tables and chairs, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, literacy instructors, which one does not cost money?Of course one village is cheap, but what about a hundred?How about a thousand? What about 1?how much?Is the Southern Court willing to spend? "

Lu You didn't answer.

But the answer was already in his heart, very clear, without the slightest hesitation.

Looking at the scene in the academy, Lu You felt as if he could come to a clear conclusion - the conclusion about why Song State couldn't defeat Ming State.

The answers of many officials in the court were wrong.

They often think that the Ming Dynasty has a strong military, the soldiers dare to fight, and the generals are heroic, so they feel that they should pour money into the army, train well-trained soldiers, and discover generals who have a deep understanding of the art of war, so that the army of the Southern Song Dynasty will become stronger.

But over time, Lu You gradually realized that the gap between the two countries is not just a military issue, it is not just that training the army as they say can defeat the Ming army.

There are deeper things, very deep things, and these deep reasons make the gap between the two countries wider and wider.

In the end, a military conflict broke out between the two countries, so this disparity is largely reflected in the military level, but beyond the military level, everything is completely different.

Ming Guo's transcendence of the Southern Song Dynasty may be all-round.

After coming to this conclusion, Lu You thought he would be very frightened, but when he heard the recitations of the young children in Meng Xuetang, this emotion was gradually calmed down.

His eyes turned to the young children in the school who were reading under the guidance of the teacher, and suddenly felt that it would be a good thing if everything like this could appear in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The peasants of the Ming Dynasty were laughing, while the peasants of the Southern Song Dynasty were crying and dying...

Lu You closed his eyes, but the scenes he saw with his own eyes kept appearing in his mind.

He recalled everything he had seen along the way, recalled everything he had read in "Hong Wu Zheng Lun".

Really, it's all true, Su Yonglin is very frank, he didn't lie, what he said and written was true.

So, who is lying?

The answer in Lu You's heart was very clear.
