Shao Yunan shook his head and said, "I don't agree with Mr. Kang's words. I don't think being an official is equal to contributing to the country, nor is it a prerequisite for social progress. The prerequisite for social progress is productivity, and science and technology are the primary productive forces. "
"Productivity? Science and technology?"
Everyone who heard this word for the first time was inexplicable, and each had a very high interest. Jiang Kangning was the first to say eagerly: "Yun'an, please explain clearly, what is productivity? What is science and technology?"
Elder Cen's expression became much more serious as he stared at Shao Yun'an.
Shao Yun'an pulled Wang Shijing to sit down, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and began to speak.
Shao Yunan did not explain what is productive force from a philosophical point of view, why science and technology is the primary productive force. In an easy-to-understand way, he developed from the ancient people who used stone tools to the current people—for him, they are still ancient people—using metal tools to produce life. In a narrow sense, productivity is the ability of human beings to create wealth. The ability to create wealth depends on the technological conditions of the society in which it lives.
"Studying is not for gaining fame and becoming an official, but for broadening our horizons and asking us to learn to think. The development of society, the evolution of production tools, including the change of dynasties are all because people can think, not how many people there are. People became officials. The ancients used stones and thought they were too bulky. Is there anything better than stones? Then they discovered metal, learned to use metal, and made life easier. People used rakes to hoe the ground It’s too hard, so is there any way to make hoeing easier? Then someone thought of using livestock and invented the plow. All the progress of human society is because humans can think, because we have this.”
Shao Yunan pointed to his head.
"Books, let us learn to think in a different way. People who don't read, here (the head) is stiff and rigid, so naturally they can't think. But it doesn't mean that people who don't read can't think, just say People who study will know how to think and think more consciously. If every reader thinks more about how to make our productivity more advanced, how to make our country more progressive, and how to make our society more Civilization rather than how to be an official, that is the hope of the country, the hope of the court.
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, but everyone's division of labor is different. A scholar-bureaucrat in the court must be better at handling state affairs than a farmer, but he may not be better at farming than a farmer, and he may not grow better crops than a farmer. An architect can draw a beautiful architectural drawing, but if there are no builders to build it, it is just a beautiful drawing. But it is not enough to have construction workers, and construction materials are needed. Where do construction materials come from? That requires some other people to make these building materials, and businessmen can gather building materials from different places in one place, so that the materials needed for construction can be guaranteed.
Therefore, the distinction between scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce should not be a difference in status, but a difference in the division of labor. Without farmers growing grain, we would have no food to eat; without cloth merchants weaving cloth, we would have no clothes to wear; without soldiers protecting the country, we would be homeless; without teachers to teach, we would not be able to pass on our knowledge and culture; without officials to manage the country , the country will become a mess; without merchants to circulate goods, we will be poor in materials.
That's why I said, three hundred and sixty lines, every line of work will lead to the number one scholar. Every field will have corresponding outstanding talents. We teach students in order to train the champions of the three hundred and sixty lines, not just to make them become officials. The gathering of outstanding talents from all walks of life can drive the development and progress of society. Throughout history, the vast majority of people who drive social progress are not officials. If our scholars only want to become officials, it is actually a failure of our education. A real scholar should know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom; travel thousands of miles after reading thousands of books; Such scholars are real scholars. "
"Good! What a 'worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joy later'! Good!"
Elder Cen slapped the table hard, his face flushed because he was too excited. Others are not much better, especially Jiang Kangning and Kang Rui. Shao Yunan's last words from "Fan Zhongyan" hit Jiang Kangning's heart with a heavy blow. And the three scholars looked at Shao Yun'an in shock.
"Brother An! You're so good! I'm ashamed! Listening to your words, I'm ashamed!" Old Cen's eyes even had water in them. If all the scholars can do this, then why is the Great Yan Kingdom not strong!
Shao Yun'an stood up respectfully and made a big salute to Mr. Cen, raised his fist and said, "Old man, what I said is just theory, and the real way to put it into practice can only be taught by educators like you and Mr. Kang." Aspiring students come to spread knowledge and teach people to think; we need to rely on upright officials like Big Brother and soldiers like Brother Jing to ensure the stability of the country and the development of the country; students like the three scholars are needed to take action; We also need businessmen like Brother Jiang to make our country richer and people's lives more prosperous, so that we can devote more energy to development."
"No, your so-called 'theory' is equally important. Listening to what you said, I am enlightened. As you said, if every scholar only wants to be an official, then it is the failure of education and the failure of the master." Elder Cen stood up, took Shao Yun'an's hand and held it, "Your son, I'm going to make up my mind, you can't recognize anyone else."
Shao Yun'an smiled, and pulled Wang Shijing with the other hand: "Don't forget the other son, old man."
"Haha! Both of you, I want both!"
It is actually his blessing to have such two sons!
"Yun'an, would you like to come to Baiyue Academy to be your teacher?"
Kang Rui spoke up, and his attitude towards Shao Yun'an was completely different. When he mentioned this, Mr. Cen immediately said: "Brother An, come to the academy to be your master. Baiyue Academy, county school, you can choose."
Jiang Kangning also followed suit: "Yun'an, it's fine if you don't want to get fame, but if you keep burying yourself here, it's a waste of your full culture. Now the court can be said to be a waste of time, and a talent like you deserves it." To teach students."
"Yes! Yunan, you should become a teacher!"
Jiang Kangchen also strongly agreed, and the three scholars also had the same meaning in their eyes.
Shao Yunan rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "I just have theories, and I belong to the kind of talking on paper. I still can't write a lot of words. It's fine to be a teacher, and my ideas may not be acceptable to others. Chaos is bad."
When Mr. Cen heard this, he frowned and sighed: "Brother An's worries are also right." He thought of those potential dangers. In particular, Shao Yun'an spoke casually, and it was easy for someone with a heart to make a fuss about it. If he didn't get it right, he would cause big trouble.
Kang Rui said: "That's Baiyue Academy. The academy is your academy, Mr. Cen. I think that in Chinan Mansion, no one will come to trouble the academy."
Jiang Kangning and Mr. Cen thought about it together. After all, Kang Rui didn't know Shao Yun'an's relationship with tea, wine, and the queen. Wang Shijing said: "If you like to listen to Yun'an, why don't you come to our house and talk like today. Although Yun'an knows a lot, he is still young after all. Even if our family has some money, we are just peasants, and we don't want to talk about it. It has caused unnecessary trouble for Elder Cen and Big Brother.”
Shao Yun'an immediately said: "That's right. If you like to hear my 'nonsense' talk, you can come to my house. We don't have to have any taboos when we close the door. To be honest, I really dare not say that when I went to the academy. "
"Then bother."
Kang Rui was the first to speak. Shao Yun'an didn't expect that he didn't insist.
Elder Cen nodded: "It's so good. Anyway, this is my home, and I live here when I have nothing to do." With an expression of [this is my son's home], Shao Yun'an was in a good mood.
"Then bother."
Kang Rui and the three talented men responded immediately. Shao Yun'an said happily, "Brother Jing and I can't wait for it."
"Yun'an, if you're not busy, then talk about productivity, science and technology. And your phrase 'worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's happiness later' is also your own thinking?"
Shao Yun'an was embarrassed to be thick-skinned again, and said: "I only remember that this sentence came from a person named 'Fan Zhongyan', but I forgot who told me.
The full text says this: [In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing was relegated to Baling County. In the next year, the government will be smooth and the people will be harmonious, and a hundred wastes will be prosperous. It is to rebuild Yueyang Tower, add its old system, and engrave poems and poems of Tang sages and modern people on it. It belongs to the composition to remember...
... Husband! I have tried to seek the heart of ancient benevolent people, or the difference between the two, why? Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself; if you live high in the temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away in the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your king. It is also worrying about advancing, and worrying about retreating. So when will you be happy? It must be said, 'worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joy later'. Alas! Micro man, who I go?]”
When Shao Yunan recited Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower", everyone stood up except Wang Shijing who could remain calm. Fan Zhongyan was from the Song Dynasty, and the culture, science and technology of the Song Dynasty were quite brilliant. Fan Zhongyan was also an outstanding writer, thinker and statesman in the Song Dynasty. For the people of this era, his thinking and literary talent represent absolute advancement.
Elder Cen was so excited that his hands shook a little. He grabbed Shao Yun'an with all his strength and asked, "Brother An, you really can't remember who told you that? Then do you know who this 'Fan Zhongyan' is?"
Shao Yun'an shook his head "innocently": "I don't remember. I have forgotten a lot of things from the past, even more after I died once, but there are many things in my head."
"hiss!"
Shao Yun'an became even more "innocent": "Old man, do you know where this Yueyang Tower is? I vaguely remember what it seems to be called 'The Story of Yueyang Tower'?"
""The Story of Yueyang Tower"?" Mr. Cen looked at Jiang Kangning in a daze, Jiang Kangning shook his head: "I have never heard of this Yueyang Tower. I will ask someone to inquire about it. It is hard to guarantee that it is not everyone who is hiding in the folk."
"We must look for it!" Mr. Cen wished to see "Fan Zhongyan" immediately. Shao Yun'an sniggered unkindly in his heart.
Jiang Kangning was anxious again: "Yun'an, is that all? Do you remember everything? Do you remember what else this person wrote?"
Shao Yunan made an appearance of trying to remember, and after a while, he shook his head: "I only remember this."
Elder Cen was very disappointed, and then his eyes lit up again: "Brother An, what do you remember?"
Shao Yunan blinked: "I remember a lot, what do you always want to hear?"
"I want to hear it!"
The shouts of everyone except Wang Shijing.
Shao Yun'an looked around the group of people, and his eyes stopped on Wang Shijing. Then he smiled slightly, and chanted: "Yanhuang land, there are so many heroes, and one enemy is not timid. People are not timid, and hatred must be blood. Look at the blood of my Chinese man!" The blood of a man is heroic, his heart is like iron...
A man should kill, and kill without mercy. The karma of eternal immortality lies in killing people. In the past, there was a handsome man with a strong sense of loyalty. Yazi kills people, his body is lighter than a feather..."
The modern writer Mr. Qiu Sheng's "Men's Walk" was given by Shao Yun'an to soldiers and generals like Wang Shijing who defended their families and the country. In the long article "Men's Walk", even the weak and talented men can't wait to rush to the battlefield with a big knife in their hands and kill the enemy.
"If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and will never return. If you don't see it, the mirror in the high hall is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like blue silk and the evening is snow. Life is full of joy, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon. I am born with my talent It will be useful, and it will come back after all the money is gone... "
Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine" brings unrestrained passion and makes people wonder what the Yellow River left from the sky is like. People yearn for the boldness of drinking to the moon. And I am born to be useful, so why not complement each other with the three hundred and sixty lines, and the number one scholar in every line of work
"When will the bright moon come, ask the blue sky for wine; I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is it today... I hope people will live a long time, and we will share the beauty of the moon."
A piece of "Water Tune Getou: When Will the Moon Come" made those who have never seen "Ci" seem to have entered another palace of literature. In this era, poetry has not yet reached the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and words have not yet appeared. And the last sentence, "I wish you a long life, we will share the beautiful beauty of thousands of miles away" made Jiang Kangning and Jiang Kangchen's eyes feel hot again.
On this day, Kang Rui and the three scholars had the cheek to stay. Elder Cen and Jiang Kangning also had no time to play Rubik's Cube, so they "forced" Shao Yun'an to spit out all the ink in his stomach, and even brought a pen and paper to record carefully. Shao Yun'an simply called the three children over to teach them.
But Shao Yun'an didn't spit out all the ancient ink in his stomach. Just kidding, he must be dumb if he spits it all out. Furthermore, even if he wants to be high-profile, he has to have a bottom line. What's more, there are several "outsiders" here.
Shao Yun'an recited more than 20 poems, more than a dozen words, and seven or eight ancient Chinese articles. This is a very small part of the pile of "ancient ink" in his stomach, but it makes everyone present except Wang Shijing feel like a treasure. Especially Mr. Cen, who has been a scholar all his life, doesn't even care about lunch and dinner. He read these famous articles over and over again, pondered them over and over again, and discussed them with Jiang Kangning, Kang Rui, and the three scholars. In the end, Guo Ziyu was brought to discuss by him, and he was very excited. Elder Cen has already made up his mind that he will never leave Xiushui Village unless it is absolutely necessary!
