The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Wang Kang first came to Xinfeng County, and he brought a group of students recommended by Master Cai.

There were not many people in this group, and they just barely built a shelf.

But managing a city is not that simple, and many people are needed, and Wang Kang's arrangements are different.

Education, medical care, urban construction...

But now, it is a bit chaotic and fragmented. If you want to expand and form a team, you need... talents!

Therefore, on the one hand, running a school is to enable young children to read and develop education, and on the other hand, it is also to cultivate talents!

If he wants to run a school, it will naturally be different, and what he wants to teach is not just what he understands, reading dead books, shaking his head, and those who know...

Such a person meant nothing to him.

What he wants to cultivate is people who can understand the mind, use it flexibly, and be able to benefit the development of Xinfeng County...

County government, Wang Kang's study.

Su Zhe was looking at a piece of paper seriously, and what was written on this paper was the Three Character Classic.

He looked very slowly and very carefully.

After a long time, he put it down and asked in surprise, "This Three Character Classic was written by my cousin?"

"Yes, and no," Wang Kang's answer was ambiguous.

The Three Character Classic is not his original, but a classic from a previous life, but in this era, it is the first time it has appeared, and only he has this answer.

"This three-character scripture, the first scripture of enlightenment education, is of extraordinary significance!" Su Zhe said in a deep voice.

Wang Kang looked at Su Zhe with a smile. He knew that with his cousin's talent, he would be able to understand the profoundness of it.

"My cousin once said that he wants to run a school in Xinfeng County? I don't know what to consider?"

"Yes, that's why I asked you to come here," Wang Kang said with a smile, "I want to develop education in Xinfeng County, and I want to entrust this burden to you."

"But, I'm afraid I won't do well."

Su Zhe said with a little hesitation: "Besides, my cousin doesn't seem to like it very much. It's a common thing to learn."

"You can rest assured about that,"

Wang Kang smiled and said: "I have already made arrangements for the general direction. Starting today, there will be people on the street giving special lectures on the Three Character Classic."

"This is basic education, and running a school is about targeted professors,"

He paused and then said: "According to my assumption, in this new school, the chief professor will not be the four books and five classics, but poetry, prose and rationale..."

After hearing this, Su Zhe asked in amazement: "Isn't that what the chief professor is teaching? Then what are you teaching?"

He knew that Wang Kang would break the rules, but the break was too strong, it was tantamount to starting all over again...

Wang Kang smiled, and said in a deep voice: "This new study, the main teaching is counting, nature, politics, management..."

"What I want is a person who can be practical, not a scholar who is full of words but is useless..."

[Author's Digression]: The first change, (Try to make four changes today, one more than usual.)

Chapter 376 Today's Days Heavy Articles

"But this is too..."

After hearing this, Su Zhe was a little shocked. Professor Wang Kang's school-running style can be said to directly overthrow the ancient tradition.

And he was born in a family of Confucianism, even if he was more enlightened, it was difficult to accept it for a while.

This is the long-term love of people.

Wang Kang can understand that every era has its products, and he said: "When today's sons emphasize articles, why should the world talk about the Han and Tang Dynasties..."

Countries across the continent are in such a situation, which makes what people learn are all classics, because in this way, they can participate in the imperial examination and get on the official road.

He paused and said again: "It is undeniable that this has promoted the development of culture and art, and it can be regarded as a sound employment system, but it can also produce talented people."

"But in my opinion, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages!"

Su Zhe asked in a calm voice: "What disadvantages does my cousin think?"

"The content of the examination formulated by the ruler has become the ideological shackles that bind the students,"

Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "In fact, to put it bluntly, Confucianism is more important than reasoning, because Confucianism is the perfect tool for ruling and enslaving subjects!"

"Cousin, you..."

Su Zhe looked at Wang Kang in horror.

"Am I right?"

Wang Kang said with a smile: "Confucianism basically adheres to the legislative principles of relatives, respect, respect, maintains the rule of rites, and advocates the rule of virtue, regardless of high or low, high or low, old or young, monarch, minister, father, son... ..."

"The governance of a country depends on the stability of the hierarchical system. Confucian rituals are also a form of law. Its core is to maintain the patriarchal hierarchy!"

Wang Kang asked: "And these are not exactly what the ruler needs?"

Following Wang Kang's words, Su Zhe also fell into thinking. There is no doubt that he is a typical Confucian child.

His mother, Su Rong, came from a prominent family in the south. Her grandfather once served in the imperial court.

And Su Zhe will naturally be affected, but Su Zhe is not perfect, he is more lively, not completely rote.

It can be said that Wang Kang's words touched him quite a lot.

He never thought about the political significance contained in learning...

But if he thought about it carefully, he found that what his cousin said was indeed somewhat reasonable.

In Confucianism, the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Principles, and the imperial power granted by heaven, don't these just meet the ruler's requirements for obedience and peaceful rule?

There is another disadvantage, which Wang Kang did not mention, the politicization of the imperial examination system, and the education of heaven and earth, monarchs, relatives and teachers, have resulted in the prevalence of teacher-discipline relationships.

The phenomenon of nepotism between factions and the formation of cliques in the officialdom are also the problems that Zhao Guo is facing today.

Veteran aristocrats, who control the place, the government orders of the DPRK and China are incompatible...

Wang Kang went on to say: "These are already at the political level of the country. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's go back to the original. The content of the exam makes the imperial examination a shackle for intellectuals and thoughts!"

"The bureaucratic team is strong, but the talent force engaged in scientific and technological research is relatively weak!"
