A layman leads an expert, replaces a profession, and is willing to be charmed... Some of the real problems in the officialdom are fully demonstrated in the fight against the river.

"The Drunken Old Man, all the disciples of Confucius and Mencius, were all disciples of Confucius and Mencius. They learned Confucian education, poetry, songs, and literary attainments, which were the best in the past dynasties. However, Confucius did not tell people how to govern rivers, and Mr. Meng did not teach future generations to manage finances. As for astronomy, calendar, arithmetic, surveying, mapping, geography, engineering... there is no such thing. Can one be good at being a human being? Can one be rich by virtue of a noble character?

"In the pre-Qin period, Confucian disciples even learned the Six Arts. All the poets and scholars of the Han and Tang dynasties could carry three-foot swords, guard the borders for the country, and fight on the battlefield. In the Song Dynasty, the peace was over, and the culture was peaceful and martial. Confucians could never kill people with swords, and they were even reluctant to do it themselves. They only knew to build cars behind closed doors and watch the sky in a well. If half of the ministers in the court were willing to walk along the Yellow River, pick up a ruler, measure the river drop, and observe the water situation, they would definitely not support the absurd proposition of restoring the old way!"

Wang Ning'an said heavily: "Zuiweng, late-school, dare not slander Confucian classics, but late-school thinks that relying solely on the classics is far from enough. The court needs professional talents from all aspects, and tolerate them is great. Zuiweng should carry this burden and cultivate truly useful talents for the Song Dynasty. Late-school is not talented, and is willing to give all his strength to assist the teacher, whether it is money or people, late-school does his best!"

After listening to Wang Ning'an's long speech, Ouyang Xiu was shocked.

Wang Ning'an gave him a brand new angle.

In the past, Ouyang Xiu always believed that Xia Ze and others advocated returning to the river because they were selfish, regardless of the common people, were villains, and treacherous... As for Fu Bi and Han Qi, they did not speak up for justice and did not advise the emperor, but they were evil in the king and lost their character, which was very hateful!

It was precisely because of disappointment that Ouyang Xiu wanted to resign and not act as a deceased person, and not to join them.

But Wang Ning'an's words made Ouyang Xiu think more.

Since the establishment of the imperial examination system, it is not wrong to select officials based on the meaning of articles and classics. As long as you have good knowledge, you can be able to guard one side and rule the world. But is there anyone who can write articles alone?

Confucian children always preached to know all the things, understood the ways of sages, and learned the profound knowledge. Other things are not easy to grasp and easy to take.

Ouyang Xiu once believed it without doubt, but over the past few days, the deep-rooted concept has been completely shaken.

Wang Ze rebelled. Facing thousands of people, he was helpless. Facing the Yellow River, he changed the way. He wrote a letter several times, but he fell into the sea and had no use at all.

The learning of sages is ultimately about teaching people to be human beings and officials.

But I didn’t teach people how to do things! Do practical things!

Officials were thinking about gains and losses, the hat on their heads and the position under their butts. Take Fu Bi and Han Qi as an example. A few years ago, they were the generals of the Qingli New Deal, regardless of gains and losses, and were devoted to the country... After setbacks, they restrained their sharpness, became gentle and elegant, with moderate behavior, and were able to be called standard prime ministers.

In the fight against the river, they no longer think about the people. So what if they fail? Anyway, Xia Ze was holding on, and if they succeeded, it was just Jia Changchao who picked up the bargain...

Things in the world are bad because of the fact that the party is fighting against the differences!

The best way to treat chronic diseases is to be professional.

"Zuitou, it is not difficult to stop the construction of Liuta River. As long as the river drop is calculated, the water flow rate of the Yellow River, one foot long, you can't wear half a foot shoes, right? The reason why there are so many difficulties is that my scholars in the Song Dynasty lack pragmatic spirit. Anyone who relies on imagination and head heat, rely on emotional enthusiasm, lacks rational thinking, and follows people's minds and blindly follows, will there be a lot of problems. I thought it is urgent to correct the world and run schools vigorously. Do you agree with it?"

Ouyang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his old face turned red.

When he first arrived in Cangzhou, Wang Ning'an debated with him about the Qingli New Policy. This time, Wang Ning'an's words pointed out more important questions.

At that time, the few husbands were eager to enrich the country and strengthen the army to wash away the shame of Xixia. From the emperor to the people, they were so hot that they threw out a lot of new policies, and they grabbed their eyebrows and beards, but ended up quickly... If they could have carefully studied and thought about it, and actually visited the people and worked hard to study it, the strategy proposed was more appropriate, and the Qingli New Policy might be implemented, and the Song Dynasty might have revived...

Thinking of this, Ouyang Xiu felt more and more that Wang Ning'an's proposal was too good.

Run a school!

Run an unprecedented school!

Not only do you teach students the saints the most profound meanings, but you also teach them astronomical calendars, military books and strategies, and arithmetic medicine. In short, all useful knowledge can be learned!

Ouyang Xiu murmured as if he was crazy, with a red light on his face, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and his whole body trembled with excitement. He finally figured it out, and the knot that had bothered him for many years opened.

Three minutes on stage, ten years of hard work off stage.

The Qingli New Policy is an immature premature baby, and it is inevitable that he will die prematurely.

If you want to save the country and the people, you must start with education and cultivate talents... Wang Ning'an is such a genius, he named himself!

Ouyang Xiu grabbed the goatee and smiled into a chrysanthemum with his old face.

...

"It's done!"

Wang Ning'an also smiled happily and brilliantly. Before the Yellow River broke through, he fooled Ouyang Xiu, hoping that the old man would run a school in Cangzhou.

He wants to develop his business, train troops and make money, no matter which one is the case, he cannot do without literate talents. However, Cangzhou is a cultural desert and lacks great scholars. If Ouyang Xiu could run a school in Cangzhou and fight with the old man, talents from all over the world would gather in Cangzhou and would wake up in his dreams.

Since the court insisted on returning to the river, Wang Ning'an's pitiful desire to serve the country disappeared. What he told Ouyang Xiu was completely like painting a cake to satisfy his hunger.

It is best for a college to change the Song Dynasty. If it cannot be changed, there will be no loss. The key is to cultivate enough talents for the Wang family's career.

The poor drunkard was still confused. He did not see through Wang Ning'an's sinister intentions, but instead became a worker in the Wang family.

The old master was so diligent. When he arrived in Cangzhou, he didn't even see his son and went directly to Chenghuang Temple.

This piece of land is quite vocal. It was donated by Cui Yu to Bao Zheng, but later Wang Ning'an got it and wanted to use it for school, but Ouyang Xiu walked around and kept shaking his head.

"It's too small, too small. Since you want to teach all kinds of knowledge, you must at least have an observatory, a racetrack, and farming, and water conservancy. It's not missing." The old master laughed and said, "Wang Erlang, don't you have to fully support me? Can I do what I said?"

"able!"

Wang Ning'an bit his back teeth and said, "Zuiweng, I'll build the school, and the lecturer depends on you."

"No problem, I can still invite this guy."

Ouyang Xiu took a lot of money, but when he looked at the new location of the school, he suddenly fell off his chin.

Wang Ning'an chose a location close to the Wild Wolf Valley and drew three valleys in total. There was a stream more than two chapters wide in front of the mountain. It was sandwiched between the valley and the stream. There was about a thousand acres of open space, which could not be seen at first sight. The Wang family's troops, the people of Tuta Village, the members of the Bow and Archery Club, and the young and strong who came back with Wang Liangjing, all of them were devoted to it.

First, we cut down all the trees and weeds, then spread mixed three-dimensional soil, flattened with stone rollers, and a clearing space that was enough to run a horse came out.

Next to the valley are rows of houses, Ouyang Xiu's eyes are dazzled.

"How many people do you want to pretend?"

"Of course, the more it is better." Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "I heard that the drunkard is going to help me, who is not here to support me! More than 3,000 people have already signed up. Just relying on the appeal of the teacher, it is much better than Wang Ze. As long as you climb a high place and call, the whole world will respond..."

"Shut up!"

Ouyang Xiu was too lazy to listen to Wang Ning'an's nonsense. The Bianjing Imperial College only had 3,000 students. Wang Ning'an got 3,000 people, and he wanted to exhaust me!

Without saying a word, go back quickly, write a few more letters, and ask for help quickly, the more you come, the better.

Looking at Ouyang Xiu's hurried back, Wang Ning'an was so proud.

Let’s see who dares to underestimate my subordinates in the future. The Wang family’s divisions are all disciples of the literary leader, and Su Dahuzi’s senior brother, so he is very proud!
