And it has never stopped for many years.

Kong Yingda sighed and said, "In fact, the fundamental reason for Confucianism is not so hostile to other theories. Until Dong Zhongshu asked the three questions of heaven and man, there was no more than a hundred schools of thought."

Li Shimin said: "It's hard for me to imagine that such a ruthless thing would be said from your old man."

In the eyes of many scholars, Dong Zhongshu is a great Confucian man.

But Kong Yingda dared to comment on Dong Zhongshu like this.

As he said this, Li Shimin was not surprised, but just smiled.

Kong Yingda is also a sensible person.

Dong Zhongshu was able to ask three questions about heaven and man, but it was just the need of Emperor Wu of Han at that time.

This is why Confucianism is the only one.

At that time, the five surnames with Confucianism as the core began to grow.

Li Shimin believed that he could not comment on Emperor Wu of Han.

Not qualified, either.

He talked to Li Shimin about the current Confucian situation in the Central Plains, and Kong Yingda left the villa.

Walking all the way to the academy in Jingyang.

When Kong Yingda arrived at the gate of the academy, he saw many students coming in and out.

After walking around here, Kong Yingda unexpectedly discovered that the children here are very eager for learning.

Three or five students were in groups, all talking about doing the questions, and they were also there.

Kong Yingda saw a child who looked like fifteen years old.

Seeing that Kong Yingda looked at the child for a long time before he could recognize it, Kong Yingda smiled and said, "You are a big shot."

The big bull bowed to Kong Yingda and said, "I have met the old master."

Kong Yingda waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, I am here to learn."

Daniu said to Kong Yingda: "The study in the academy is relatively free, and older children can also choose their favorite categories."

Kong Yingda whispered: "Actually, I have always had a problem."

The big giant said, "Please speak with me, Master."

Kong Yingda said: "What is Li Zheng building such an academy for?"

Daniu said: "At first, he just taught and read. At that time, Shangguan Yi was doing these things, but the children did not just study hard in the academy. For teachers, Confucian books did not have much effect. Instead, they asked children to learn skills."

Kong Yingda said curiously again: "What skill."

Daniu said: "For example, children can learn the skills of carpenters by following Yan Liben, and learn mathematics by learning with Li Chunfeng."

Kong Yingda nodded slightly, "You can learn these things in the market."

Daniu said again: "The biggest difference between academies is basic knowledge."

Kong Yingda said curiously: "What is basic knowledge?"

Daniu said: "If our children want to go to the upper grades, they need to take the exam first. Only by using mathematics, medical skills, and some scientific knowledge as the basis, and then learn other skills. Children who know mathematics will also do geometric questions. Then their craftsmanship is not just a carpenter. They can learn mathematics and calculate the width of the river, set up wooden stakes, etc. to create a strong bridge."

Kong Yingda nodded slightly.

The big niu said again: "For example, scientific physics, we recently used the principle of leverage to make a plow for plowing fields. People can easily drag without animals. This is the use of science. Science is to seek knowledge and also to study things to learn. The teacher's purpose of establishing the research institute is also to hope that our knowledge can take care of people's livelihood."

Kong Yingda sighed: "All of them are good kids."

Daniu took Kong Yingda to the library and said, "The old master is the library. There are all the books learned by students from Jingyang. You can read more here."

Kong Yingda patted Daniu on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, boy."

The big giant also smiled, "I will take everyone to do the experiment, so I will do it myself."

Kong Yingda walked into the library, and there were many students sitting here.

Just a glance, it was very quiet.

Quiet enough to hear your breathing.

Let’s look at these children who are focused on studying.

They are very different from the children of the Imperial College.

Most of the children in the Imperial College are also children of powerful people.

Those children are not very interested in the word "learning", and most children just learn to read and read.

They don’t appreciate the word wisdom much.

Kong Yingda looked at the children in the library. These children were the ones who wanted to learn the most and wanted wisdom the most.

Kong Yingda felt a little sad inexplicably.

Li Zheng, who was scoffed at by Confucian children, was able to build such an excellent academy.

Those who are close to red are red and close to ink are black.

Ordinary children are also the cleanest in their hearts.

Such children learn the fastest knowledge.

They study not for success or success, nor for the sake of the Jinshi.

But just to learn skills.

This meaning is what the Imperial College needs most now.

If you want to build such a college, you can reach this map, environment, crowd, atmosphere, and original intention.

And it is precisely someone like Li Zheng who can do it.

Kong Yingda also hoped that Confucianism could have a place in this academy, but it is almost impossible for Confucian children to despise Li Zheng at the moment.

Confucianism can cultivate the body and mind, and can also teach people to be gentlemen.

But are these really what ordinary people need now?

All they need is the foundation of survival.

And these Confucians cannot give them.

Yan Liben has been very busy these days.

Jingyang has recruited nearly a thousand apprentices.

As the scorching sun shone, Yan Liben handed over the list to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng handed Yan Liben a bowl of smoothie and said, "My marshal Yan takes a bite of this."

Yan Liben took the smoothie and said, "This is..."

Li Zheng said: "I call this smoothie, it is very useful to relieve heat."

Yan Liben picked up a spoon and dug up a bite of smoothie and put it in his mouth. He swallowed it and felt that his internal organs were cold.

When this coolness passed, the heat disappeared a lot.

Seeing Li Zheng looking at the list, Yan Liben explained: "These are nine hundred and thirty people selected, and ten of them were invited by me. Don't worry, these people are carefully selected."

Li Zheng put away the booklet and said, "It's a blessing for Master Yan."

Yan Liben waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, I heard that Kong Yingda has also come to Jingyang."

Li Zheng also nodded and said, "It should be in the academy now."

Yan Liben hurriedly said, "I will say goodbye first when I go to meet Kong Yingda."

Li Zheng nodded with the booklet.

The list on the booklet has to be handed over to Li Lizhi, and the salary of these apprentices is also to be paid by Li Lizhi.

Yan Liben came to the academy and met Kong Yingda who had just come out of the library.

Yan Liben said: "Why did Master come here?"

Kong Yingda said as she walked, "I am old and can't teach anymore."

After walking two steps, Kong Yingda looked at Yan Liben and said, "You have been in Jingyang for a while. What do you think of Jingyang Academy?"
