The useless boy Yang Xiu

Cai Yong was sitting in his office room, with some official documents placed on his desk.

However, Cai Yong did not read those documents at this time.

He is holding a book in his hand and reading here.

This book is exactly the textbook produced by Liu Cheng.

These things were naturally very superficial to Cai Yong, but he saw them with gusto.

While reading, I couldn't help but nod secretly. I felt that these textbooks compiled by Kede were very good, easy to understand, and did not lose the sage's subtle words and righteousness.

It can play a role in teaching and educating people.

Students taught by such textbooks can greatly reduce the difficulty of enlightenment and allow more people to accept enlightenment.

More people can read and write.

It can lead to the great prosperity of culture and education.

This is a great thing.

Once done well, the success will last forever.

Many people are speculating that after their son-in-law becomes the King of Han, he will immediately bring troops and prepare to fight again and use his military exploits to consolidate his position.

As a result, my son-in-law did not go on a military expedition, but directly started promoting culture and religion!

This is so good!

Although my good son-in-law has acquired some unusual textbooks, and they are different from what ordinary people know, and the contents taught are also different, but this does not hurt anything.

In the future, knowledge will lead to the same destination through different paths...

Just as he was smiling and watching with relish, a civil servant came over and reported that a group of scholars had come outside and asked to see Zhongshu Ling.

The official documents were almost processed, and these books were almost read. Cai Yong thought about it, got up and headed outside, wanting to see what these people were going to do...

“I’ve met Cai Situ!

I’ve met Cai Situ!”

After seeing Cai Yong, those who came came to greet Cai Yong one after another.

Cai Yong returned the courtesy to them and said with a smile: "So that you all know that now I am no longer Situ, but Zhongshu Ling. Please don't call me by the wrong name in the future."

"I've seen Zhongshu Ling!"

These people had no choice but to meet Cai Yong again.

Cai Yong returned the favor with a smile.

"Why are you here looking for me now?"

Cai Yong looked at these people and said with a smile.

Someone stepped forward and said: "I heard that the King of Han was planning to promote education. I had some foolish opinions and wanted to talk to Cai Si... Zhongshu Ling..."

When Cai Yong heard this, the smile on his face became a little stronger.

"You also know about the great education development of the King of Han Dynasty?

This is a great thing!

Are you prepared to come and contribute to this?

So good, so good.”

After hearing what Cai Yong said, these people were stunned for a moment. After thinking about it for a long time, they felt uncomfortable speaking for a while.

"It is true that he is ready to contribute. The King of Han is preparing to develop culture and education, which is a great thing..."

The man followed Cai Yong's words and said.

"That's it...while I was waiting, I was lucky enough to see the teaching materials His Highness the King of Han was going to use. I was a little shocked for a moment and felt...there seemed to be something wrong with this."

"Oh, what's wrong?"

Cai Yong still had a smile on his face.

“Since it is education, we should use the words of saints and Confucian classics to teach and educate people.

But the teaching materials prepared by His Highness the King of Han did not contain Confucian classics.

The Three-Character Classic, disciple regulations, can be said to be fine. Although it is not a Confucian classic, it is more in line with the meaning of the Confucian classics.

It's this... the fable, the book of nature, and the arithmetic...

Something is really wrong...

Moreover, we have also heard that His Highness the King of Han is planning to allow women to enter school. This kind of thing is too against the rules.

Why does a woman need to study? What is the use of it?

But it is better to save some money and use it in other important areas...

Zhongshu orders you to be a great Confucian of the dynasty and the leader of the King of Han. You must advise His Highness the King of Han.

That’s not how education works…”

After this person spoke, the rest of the people began to speak as well.

You say something to me.

They felt that there was a high probability that this would be possible.

After all, the person in front of me is Zhongshu Ling and a great Confucian.

I am interested in education.

Seeing Liu Cheng not teaching students the classics, I must be unhappy...

However, they soon discovered that they and others had been wrong.

"Everyone, my opinion is completely different from yours.

I think the textbooks prepared by the King of Han are very good.

The Three-Character Classic, the Disciple's Rules, is easy to understand and catchy to read. Although it is not a Confucian classic, every sentence is consistent with the teachings, and the saint's subtle words and righteousness are everywhere...

The book of fables teaches people principles through some short stories. Although it is simple, it is fascinating and awakening.

The book of arithmetic is extremely ingenious. I am also studying and dabbling in it. I was the first to come up with the title of Uncle Huang’s numbers.

The Emperor's Numbers are simple and easy to write, and contain many exquisite algorithms. When introduced into arithmetic, they can greatly promote the development of arithmetic..."

Cai Yong said with a smile on his face.

The words he said made those who came full of hope and confidence feel their hearts sinking, which was completely unexpected.

Cai Yong is a famous Confucian in the world, and he will definitely be particularly opposed to this kind of deviant teaching of students without using Confucian classics.

Why has it become like this now?

"But...but this is ultimately unworthy of elegance and will mislead others!

Knowledge is an extremely serious matter and should not be trifled with.

To teach knowledge, you need to use classics, so that you can rectify your mind and body..."

Some people did not want to give up and argued with Cai Yong loudly in an attempt to persuade Cai Yong.

Cai Yong glanced at him, suppressed his smile and said, "Things need to be done step by step.

The same goes for learning. It needs to be easy first and then difficult, step by step.

You and I are both literate people. We all have experienced enlightenment and know what learning is about.

You also know whether what we said is correct or not.

At the time of enlightenment, how many people understood the various principles and other things recorded in the classics?

Even if a teacher explains it, he is still confused. The real understanding only comes as he grows older.

In this case, why can't we make some changes and add some new things to it?

Why still stick to the old ways?

Why can't it be made simpler, reduce the difficulty of enlightenment, and increase students' interest in learning?

Make education fun?

I support the teaching that the King of Han intends to implement and the teaching materials that he has approved.

This is a great thing for a day!

It will bring great prosperity to culture and education!

I will also strongly support it.

It is not to support the King of Han, but to contribute to the prosperity of culture and education."

As Cai Yong spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and unfolded it for everyone to see.
