I am Da Song

Chapter 255 The ink of scholars is more sacred than the blood of martyrs
The people flocking to Taixue are not dozens of people, but thousands of people in the commercial street.

The proud people of the Song Dynasty really cannot accept that other countries in the world have already called themselves the center of civilization and the holy land of academics.

This is like the proud Midi, completely unable to accept that his technological hegemony is challenged by a distant country.

If things are really as the girl said, then what is the central state of the Song Dynasty, the Kingdom of Heaven?
What is the so-called Central Plains, the so-called civilized etiquette?
Zhao Huan pointed at Lu Weina and said, "You also go to Taixue with me."

Although Luwena was afraid, she still held her confidence and said with a straight chest: "Go! I don't believe they can still eat me!"

Zhao Huan glanced at Wu Ge, Wu Ge immediately understood, and a guard quietly disappeared into the crowd.

Among the thousands of people, no one noticed that one of these guards left the scene in the chaos.

But then, the common people who were flocking to Taixue discovered that groups of imperial guards with bright armor, mighty and civilized were running in a row to the direction of Taixue.

Immediately afterwards, patrolling city guards arrived near Taixue from all directions with serious expressions and military appearances.

Numerous soldiers held shields and guns, straddling the traffic arteries in array.

The hearts of the people in Tokyo were instantly filled with pride, and it was hard to draw a conclusion as to whether the academic dispute between Da Song and Da Shi in black was stronger or weaker.

But in terms of the country's prosperity and military might, the Great Song Dynasty now has an army of one million people absolutely occupying an unparalleled advantage.

What is commendable is that people all over the world, regardless of whether they are soldiers or civilians, believe that the establishment of this army is to defend the country and the people of the world.

Under the command of Yue Xiang, this army has strict military discipline, will not demolish houses to death from freezing, will not plunder to death from starvation, and will never harass the people.

Therefore, thousands of people walked naturally on the road guarded by soldiers with their chests upright, and arrived at the gate of Taixue smoothly all the way.

When so many common people appeared, they used to appeal to the emperor, that is, to petition the supreme emperor.It was the first time to come to Taixue.

But fortunately, Taixue Siye Chen Dong himself is a master at organizing people's petitions. He once organized hundreds of thousands of people in Tokyo to oppose the country's land cession.

Now the people who are only a few thousand people are not even considered waves in his opinion.

Hearing that a large number of people wanted to ask for an explanation in front of the Taixue, Chen Dong had brought a group of doctors and sacrificial wine to wait in front of the main entrance of the Taixue.

Taixue is the top school in the Song Dynasty invested heavily by the state. This year's 4000 million educational expenditures are only divided into two directions, Taixue and local schools.

The Taixue family received tens of millions of dollars in finance, not to mention how much his family's expenses accounted for in education funds, it was enough to cover the infrastructure costs raised by countless literati and bureaucrats in the entire Shaotian New Area who sold their land.

Therefore, the Taixue building is both magnificent and elegant. The magnificence lies in that its gate is not made of wood, but two thick school walls built of marble, with an open space of more than 20 feet in the middle as the gate.

In the past, red branches would be placed here, leaving only a few passages for passing people.But today is the grand opening ceremony, so all the red branches were moved away, and Taixue opened its doors to welcome students from all over the world.

On the marble school wall on the left is engraved with gold characters in italics, the National Taixue of the Song Dynasty.

On the marble school wall on the right, there are big red lacquer characters carved in thin golden body, which are the classic four sentences of Hengqu: "Build a heart for the world, establish a life for the living people, inherit the learning of the past, and create peace for all generations."

This style is solemn and lofty. Everyone just sees this magnificent gate, and they will feel admiration. They believe that the scholars and doctors inside will carry the most noble mission of the Song Dynasty.

In fact, dozens of scholars with neat robes and fluttering beards standing in front of the Imperial Academy are indeed very respectable.

Respecting scholars is always the basic quality of a nation's civilization and prosperity.

It just so happens that Zhu Xia has admired the truly learned people since ancient times, and even scholars have a special class name called scholars.

The turbulent crowd stopped in front of the gate of Taixue as if a wave had encountered an embankment.

When the crowd stopped, Chen Dong said: "I am Chen Dong, Secretary of the Taixue. Today is the grand opening ceremony of my Taixue. Welcome all the parents and children of Tokyo to come and watch. If you have any questions or comments, you can also ask me Straightforward."

An old man in the crowd stepped forward and asked: "Chen Siye, today is a good day for the Taixue to start, and we are also very proud of having such an institution in the Song Dynasty. It's just that I heard people say today that in the Western Black Clothing and food, has claimed to be the center of civilization, a holy place for academics. We are in an uproar, a group of contemptuous barbarians, how can He De dare to call the country of the center? I just want to ask, does Chen Siye know the situation of this black food? Compared with the black clothes and big food, which one is stronger or weaker?"

Zhao Huan folded his arms and looked at Chen Dong, expecting his reply.

This question undoubtedly tested Chen Dong's ability.

If Taixue didn't even know the surrounding situation, and didn't even know the academic level of other civilizations, then the Song Dynasty would naturally be in a backward state.Because the other party can absorb the civilization of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Great Song Dynasty cannot absorb nutrients from the other party.

To put it bluntly, it is worse than the Qing Dynasty, which closed the country.

Even the Qing Dynasty is just bad, not stupid.The royal family of the Qing Dynasty had a detailed understanding of Western technology, Western conditions, and the advancement of firearms.It's just that they implement a policy of obscuring the people in order to maintain their rule, and prevent all these advanced civilizations from flowing into the people.

Under the attention of all the people, Chen Dong nodded calmly and said, "Tai Xue does know about the situation of the black-clothed food."

In an instant, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd.

Since Da Song knew the other party's situation, it did not arouse the panic and amazement of countless scholar-bureaucrats, which shows that the other party is definitely not as civilized and advanced as he boasted.

Otherwise, the literati and bureaucrats will definitely not be able to bear it even more. The Song Dynasty, which claims to be a kingdom of heaven, is actually not as civilized as the barbarians.

"Then can Chen Siye tell us the details of this black-clothed feast? Why does the other party dare to call itself a civilization center and an academic highland?"

Chen Dong looked in all directions and said confidently: "Fathers and folks, as a citizen of the Holy Dynasty, we must believe that our Dynasty is powerful and civilized. There is no doubt that our civilization is advanced, there is no doubt about it. Even if Western scholars come to our dynasty, they will marvel at our technological progress and academic development.”

Someone in the crowd asked: "Then in the same way, isn't the big food in black also under the prestige, the real center of civilization?"

Chen Dong said with a faint smile: "I am a country of civilization, and black clothes and big food are the center of civilization. In fact, the statement is very accurate."

"There are not only Jews, Sogdians, and Seljuks in Tokyo, but there are also Persians and Arabs. Therefore, Taixue, as the highest institution in the country, actually has a deep understanding of the academic situation of the black-clothed food."

"Before I introduce you to the civilization center boasted by the big cannibal in black, I would like to introduce to you a famous saying of the big cannibal - the ink of a scholar is more sacred than the blood of a martyr."
