Great Tang Broom Star - v2 Chapter 1099

  Chapter 1099 Confucianism is dead

  Dou Dexuan came out of the palace gate and saw Zhang Wenguan when he raised his eyes.

  The two held hands against each other.

  Although the two of them are rivals in this matter, they have no grievances in private, they just meet and laugh.

  Zhang Wenguan said: “Regardless of victory or defeat, I only have admiration for Duke Dou.”

   Dou Dexuan is silent.

Huh!

   Shouldn’t it be a peer-to-peer response?

  Zhang Wenguan raised his eyes, unwavering in his heart.

  Dou Dexuan cupped his hands, “Farewell.”

   Several prime ministers came out later, and when they saw the slightly angry Zhang Wenguan, they were all silent.

  Zhang Wenguan returned to the duty room with a cold body.

  Why?

  Aren’t the old man’s twelve suggestions not brilliant enough?

  He suddenly got up and ordered someone to inquire about the news.

  But Dou Dexuan couldn’t hear a word after entering the palace today.

  Zhang Wenguan was suffering in his heart, so he went to find Xu Jingzong.

   “Meeting Xu Xiang, the old man knows that he has lost, but he wants to lose clearly.”

  I like Dou Dexuan the most, hahaha! Xu Jingzong felt complacent, “This matter is not really a secret, but it’s just from the mouth of this old man…”

  Zhang Wenguan said: “The old man is tight-lipped.”

  Xu Jingzong said: “Dou Dexuan said that each department budgeted the expenditures of the headquarters at the beginning of the year, and the Ministry of Finance and the court reviewed it. If it exceeds the budget at the end of the year, it is a fault, and the balance is political achievement…”

  Zhang Wenguan is a veteran of the officialdom, and even an important minister, so he immediately thought of many things when he heard the words.

   “It can also curb corruption among officials, this… the old man is convinced!”

  Although he felt sore in his heart, Zhang Wenguan still had some measure of this.

  He immediately resigned, turned around and asked as soon as he reached the door: “If this is the case, then every ministry will have to hire a lot of officials who are good at calculating, and only new students in the world can do this. This matter turned out to be Zhao Guogong who benefited the most…”

  Xu Jingzong coughed dryly, “It’s a new study, it has nothing to do with Xiao Jia!”

  He didn’t believe what he said.

  Zhang Wenguan understood, “If the budget matter fails, it has to do with Zhao Guogong.”

  He totally understood.

  Jia Pingan gave Dou Dexuan a budget idea. Dou Dexuan has gained a lot in the Ministry of Households over the years. Combining the budget with the current situation of Datang’s finances, he immediately gave this important suggestion.

  The old man lost!

  Zhang Wenguan returned to the duty room.

  Dai Zhide also got the news, so he came to comfort him.

   “Why did you lose?”

  Dai Zhide was puzzled, “After reading your twelve suggestions, the old man can be said to be eloquent, pointing out the current problems, can your majesty turn a blind eye?”

   “Dou Dexuan suggested that each ministry’s budget at the beginning of the year…”

  Dai Zhide was stunned.

  Zhang Wenguan smiled wryly and said: “This matter requires many officials who are good at calculating… What did you think of?”

  Dai Zhide blurted out, “Jia Ping’an!”

  Zhang Wenguan nodded, “This is the most beneficial new learning.”

   “This is another blow to the gentry and Confucianism.” Dai Zhide rubbed his forehead, “If you were on good terms with Zhao Guo in the past, now…well, it’s useless to say these things.”

  Zhang Wenguan sighed: “Yes! If the old man and Zhao Guogong are on good terms, whose good idea would it be?”

  …

  The annual budget will cause a huge shock to the ministries, so it needs to be warmed up first. So the palace released the wind.

   “The budgets of each ministry at the beginning of the year are reviewed by the Ministry of Finance and the central government. After that, they will be verified at the end of the year. There is an error in overspending, and the balance is political achievements. This… is a drastic action!”

  Cui Chen was surprised and said: “Dou Dexuan has such a vision, no wonder he can become the new prime minister.”

  Lu Shunzai said quietly: “The old man saw something else… Every budget needs someone who is good at calculating.”

  Cui Chen was surprised, “Our children have learned arithmetic since childhood…”

  Wang Shun clapped the case and said, “How about the calculation skills of the new students?”

  The children of the gentry have arithmetic as their homework since they were studying, so after they become officials, their calculation skills can crush their peers.

  Cui Chen was silent.

  Lu Shunzai frowned, “Why? Could it be…”

  Cui Chen said slowly: “The new calculation technique…unmatched in the world!”

  …

   “Every department is coming to the school to ask for someone!”

   Cheng Zheng sent this great news early in the morning.

  The students were ecstatic.

   “Not only.” Xu Yanbo brought better news, “Local states and counties also need people.”

   Damn it!

  Shangting jumped up, “Really?”

  Cheng Da said indifferently: “Yeah, what you said is also true?”

  Grandson of Lu Guogong, son of Princess Qinghe, this identity is a guarantee.

  Shang Ting said happily: “Jia Yu, we don’t have to worry about the way out in the future.”

  The scale of mathematics is very large, and many students come out every year. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households each want a batch, but there are still many students left who have no place to allocate and can only fend for themselves.

   This is a big problem solved.

   What Jia Yu was thinking about was what his father said last night.

  Last night, Suho wanted to have a late-night snack, so he followed around and finally brought the whole family in.

  Jia Yu talked about mathematics, and mentioned that mathematics teachers and students were dissatisfied with the number of places in the imperial examination. At that time, his father said… Don’t worry!

  From childhood to adulthood, whenever my father said peace of mind, then the result of that matter must be good.

   I didn’t expect such good news to come today.

   Ayer, did you do it?

   Jia Yu thinks it must be.

  Everywhere in arithmetic cheers.

  Han Wei smiled and said: “This is the benefit sent by God!”

  Zhao Yan smiled slightly, and Han Wei was surprised, “Why, why are you unhappy?”

   Zhao Yan said: “Do you still remember when I complained that there was only one subject in the imperial examination, Zhongxinxue, and the number of recruits was not large?”

   “Of course I remember.” Han Wei said: “At that time, my husband said to be at ease. Could it be…”

  Zhao Yan nodded, “Mr. has already planned.”

  …

  The Guozijian next door.

  Jijiu Wang Kuan sat with the Three Musketeers.

  Lu Shunyi said: “Dou Dexuan’s suggestion is not bad, but this matter is to speak out for the new learning…”

  Li Jingdu said: “How about teaching the arithmetic passed down by my family in the Imperial College from now on? Maybe catch up?”

  The three of them looked at Wang Kuan together.

  Wang Kuan said indifferently: “Jia Ping’an said a word back then, the mathematics in the new school is unique in the world!”

  Your classics…

Wang Kuan felt empty in his heart, feeling that the Guozijian was covered in dust because of this suggestion, “I know that there are Confucian classics in your family, and arithmetic is among them. But new learning is a school of thought, and arithmetic is only one of them. branch.”

  What is the use of your Confucian classics?

   Wang Kuan’s words were slaps in the face.

  He said unceremoniously: “Thinking about it now, it would be better to introduce new learning and Confucianism to compete with each other. In this way, the two kinds of learning in the Imperial College run side by side, and the students will be great talents when they come out, wouldn’t it be better?”

  Lu Shunyi said in a deep voice: “How can the Confucian classics handed down by our family be allowed to be blasphemed by such wild foxes?”

   “Wild Fox Zen?”

  The old dandy Guo Xin came in and sat down loudly, “Mr. Lu said that Xinxue is Wild Fox Zen? Then I dare to ask, what is Confucianism?”

  Lu Shunyi said: “The Confucian classics are extensive and profound…”

Guo Xin smiled, “The core of Confucianism is still Confucianism. If you say it is broad and profound, I will teach you to be a good boy today. Don’t talk big when you go out… Do you know how many subjects the new school is divided into? Do you know that there are all new studies?” Practical learning? Whether it is arithmetic or the study of things, the new learning can crush your so-called classics.”

Seeing the indifferent faces of the Three Musketeers, he became more and more complacent, “The school system in the Han Dynasty was abolished, so was the knowledge. The common people were not able to eat three meals a day, so how could they have the time to pass on knowledge? Only those officials and rich people There are many, so they monopolized learning. So learning was transferred from the world to the hands of a very small number of families, and these families monopolized official positions by monopolizing learning… This is the origin of the gentry!”

  Chiguoguo!

  Wang Sheng sneered, “How can you spy on our family’s inheritance?”

  Guo Xin hilariously said, “It’s nothing more than how much money has been accumulated and how many hidden households have been swallowed. Is this inheritance? This is nothing more than a disaster, and you even boast about it. You are shameless, what about them?”

  Guo Xin suddenly shouted: “What is Wild Fox Zen? The so-called Confucianism was also Wild Fox Zen many years ago. What did your family-inherited Confucianism bring to the former Han and Jin Dynasties? Disaster!”

   Phew!

  There is a hidden weapon flying.

  Guo Xin turned over, and the teacup flew over his body.

  Li Jingdu jumped up and scolded: “Slutty dog ​​slave, I swear to you today that I will never let you go!”

  Guo Xin got up and scolded: “Bitch, if you can’t make sense, then do it!”

  The two rolled up their sleeves.

  Wang Kuan was dumbfounded.

  Lu Shunyi said calmly: “A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands.”

  Wang Sheng scolded: “Beat this dude hard!”

  Boom!

   Li Jingdu fell to the ground.

  Guo Xin stood there, maintaining a punching posture.

   “The new line of learning requires both civil and martial arts, you are far behind!”

  Wang Kuan got up and went out.

   “Sacrificial wine!”

  Lu Shunyi frowned.

  Wang Kuan ignored him.

   Slowly walked all the way to the outside of the classroom, listening to the teaching assistant inside teaching in a dull voice.

  The students were very quiet, too quiet.

  The teaching assistant was dumb, and so were the students.

   get out of class is over!

  The teaching assistant came out numbly.

  After seeing Wang Kuan, the teaching assistant had a look of hope in his eyes, “Is there still room for redemption?”

  Wang Kuan shook his head, “It is understandable that Dou Dexuan’s advice is beneficial to the country and the people. However, the imperial examination relies on essays and poems, so who is willing to study arithmetic seriously? In addition, the mathematics in Xinxue is unique, so… can’t be stopped.”

  The gleam in the eyes of the teaching assistant faded and became numb.

“unless…”

  The teaching assistant’s eyes lit up.

  Wang Kuan sighed: “Unless the Guozijian introduces new learning, it will be replaced sooner or later.”

  The teaching assistant lowered his voice and looked fiercely in his eyes, “Jijiu, we are Confucian students! Why did you introduce those wild foxes!”

  Xinxue is the soul of the dead under the knife when Confucianism was the only one. This cognition has been unified within Confucianism. Therefore, most of the mentions of new learning are replaced by wild fox Zen.

   It can also be understood as heresy.

  Wang Kuan was a little desperate.

   “Do you all think that Xinxue is Wild Fox Zen?”

  The teaching assistant was puzzled, “Isn’t it? Jijiu, how can those heretics who are new learners be able to enter the hall of elegance?”

  Wang Kuan smiled wryly, “Who defined the Hall of Elegance you mentioned? Confucianism?”

  The teaching assistant was stunned, “Of course.”

Wang Kuan said: “Confucianism is still making articles and poems, and I want to use it to take the imperial examination and become an official. But the new learning has long since abandoned such illusory knowledge. Jia Ping’s goal is to build the new learning into a The knowledge of the world. He does not need the emperor to suppress other knowledge, he only needs to use the new learning to eat away step by step…”

Guo Xin’s voice came from behind, “Jijiu, you can’t wake up these people who are pretending to be asleep. By the way, there were new schools in various places to teach new learning, and some people said that those students could not be officials after they came out, but now it has changed. , the local government must have people who are good at calculation, and the outstanding students in the school will naturally be invited, this is a way to become an official, and there is no need for imperial examinations.”

  The teaching assistant sneered, “This is just relying on His Majesty to suppress us.”

   Guo Xin smiled, turned around and left.

  The teaching assistant said: “Is this because you can’t refute it and left?”

Wang Kuan’s eyes were deep, “He felt that he didn’t need to argue with you. Just look at the court today. Dou Dexuan supports the new learning. Needless to say, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu’s attitude is ambiguous, but it is mostly a personal grudge with Jia Ping’an. In trouble, Liu Rengui supports Xinxue, Li Ji does not speak, but he naturally supports it, and Shangguanyi opposes… In other words, one of the prime ministers in the court opposes Xinxue, and the other opposes Xinxue because of personal grievances. Why don’t you think about it? Why does the prime minister support Xinxue?”

  The teaching assistant was at a loss, “They must be working together.”

   “Hey!” Wang Kuan sighed: “Is it difficult to admit that others are outstanding? Go beyond them if you have the ability, instead of complaining behind your back.”

  Suddenly someone shouted in the classroom: “What shall we do in the future?”

yes!

  What will happen to these students in the future?

  The teaching assistant went in and said: “You will still be able to take the imperial examination in the future. Confucianism has a lot more admissions in the imperial examination than arithmetic, so don’t worry!”

  Wang Kuan knew that these were words of comfort.

  With the expansion of Xinxue, even if Jia Pingan didn’t say anything, those people would clamor to compete for the places to become officials in the imperial examination. How can Confucianism be compared with new learning?

   than power?

  Emperors and empresses all support the new learning, and the root cause is that the aristocratic families rely on Confucianism to make their fortunes. At this moment, if the roots are cut off, the aristocratic families can be wiped out without weapons.

   This is the highest state of the art of war.

   Subdue without fighting!

  How much role did Jia Pingan play in it?

  Wang Kuan walked in.

  The dazed and angry students fell silent.

  Wang Kuan said: “The old man told you to wait, it is very difficult, and the Imperial College will become more and more difficult.”

   “Jijiu, why can’t it crush Xinxue?”

  A student said: “Didn’t you come here once in the former Han Dynasty? Why don’t we come again now? We only respect Confucianism and suppress other knowledge in the world.”

Wang Kuan shook his head, “I can’t suppress it. If there is no foreign enemy, it will be fine. I will be king and hegemony behind closed doors, and entertain myself. But the Tang Dynasty has powerful foreign enemies, and it needs to continuously strengthen its strength to defeat the opponent. But Confucianism and New Compared with learning, who can strengthen Datang?”

   “Nature is Confucianism!”

   “Confucianism can lead people to the right path and can teach gentlemen…”

  Wang Kuan couldn’t help interrupting the students, “Is it possible for a gentleman to strengthen the Tang Dynasty?”

   “Naturally it is possible.” A student said: “A gentleman governs, and the whole Tang Dynasty is naturally peaceful.”

   “There is no gentleman!”

  Wang Kuan was angry, “I also expect more money, food and salary every year, and I will be moved by those beauties. When I encounter danger, I will save my family first, and then think of my home country…There is no pure gentleman!”

  A group of students looked pale.

   There is no gentleman!

  So why do we learn this?

   “Is it possible to strengthen the Tang Dynasty by studying articles, poems and prose?” Wang Kuan collapsed under the pressure, “New learning is useful everywhere. If this continues, which knowledge will the emperor value?”

  Outside the door, the teaching assistant couldn’t help but said: “Sacrificing wine, Confucianism can make the people simple, and let everyone take care of themselves!”

“Fart your mother!” Wang Kuan couldn’t help swearing, “That’s a fool! You made the people look like fools, thinking they wouldn’t rebel, but why did the yellow scarves rebel in the former Han Dynasty? You want to eat people. But the new learning can increase the income of the fields, can Confucianism do it? Can it?”

  The teaching assistant’s lips twitched, “But Confucianism… Confucianism can calm people’s hearts!”

“Bullshit!” Wang Kuan scolded, “Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, when did people’s hearts become stable? It started with the first emperor’s counterattack against the Turks. The people will be stable without any worries about foreign aggression. This is the reason for people’s peace of mind. All credits are put on one’s own head, this is the biggest problem of Confucianism, and there is no cure for it!”

   A group of students were dumbfounded.

   “How does Jijiu look like a new learner?”

   “Yes! Confucianism is constantly belittled in words!”

   “Isn’t it hopeless for the sacrificial wine?”

   “Yes! Dou Dexuan’s suggestion can be called a boulder, and it has been crushed on the head of our country’s Zijian. If there is no response, who will want to learn Confucianism in the future?”

   “Governments all over the country will want new students, and they will gradually occupy most of the positions. What about Confucianism?”

  …

   “The worst thing is that after learning Confucianism, you can only be an official. If you can’t be an official, what can Confucianism allow you to do?”

  Jia Ping’an appeared in Mathematics after a long absence, but he didn’t go to see the students, but discussed with the gentlemen.

“I used to learn Confucianism, why? It’s just because the people don’t know a single character, and they are all illiterate. Under such a background, Confucianism students are like gods. But now schools are gradually spreading all over the place, and Confucianism students are more It’s impossible to put on the score of the gods.”

   Jia Ping’an laughed and said: “It used to be bad, but now new learning has sprung up, and Confucianism can’t be found with a slap in the face.”

   Gentlemen were in high spirits, Zhao Yan asked: “Sir, what will happen in ten years?”

“Ten years later!” Jia Pingan thought for a while, “Ten years later, there will be more and more new students in all walks of life. More and more people will become officials. From now on, the public will no longer talk about the person, but discuss the matter as it is. Ten years later…”

  Ten years is enough for people all over the world to see the gap between Confucianism and New Learning.

   “One is to preach, and the other is to explain the truth, the truth of everything in the world.” Han Wei said with longing: “Sir, by then, how strong will the Tang Dynasty be?”

   “It will be invincible.”

   Jia Ping’an smiled happily.

  When Datang embarked on the right path, no one could stop the progress of this behemoth.

   Tubo, Dashi…

   can’t stop Datang’s footsteps.

   New learning is the driving force behind all this.

  “What is my favorite? What the students learn and discuss every day is the practical art and the art of strengthening the country, instead of memorizing the words of the predecessors all day long.”

   Jia Pingan got up and left.

  Everyone was silent.

  Watching Jia Ping’an go out of the gate, someone said: “Sir, you don’t even want to go in now.”

   “The influence of the new learning is getting bigger and bigger. Sir, I planted the seeds, and I fertilized the seeds. Now the seeds are sprouting and growing, and the sower, sir, doesn’t need to worry about it anymore.”

  Jia Pingan left mathematics, and saw Wang Kuan roaring outside the gate of the Imperial College.

   “Confucianism is dead!”
