"It's just a dictionary. The master handed over the master's college to Confucianism." after Kong Desheng left, Zu Mingjun quietly stood behind Master Li and frowned.
Master Li shook his head and said, "no, although the dictionary is a great thing for children's enlightenment, it is extremely important for primary schools, but it is not enough to make me give in like this?"
"Why is that?" Zu Mingjun didn't understand.
Master Li asked, "let me ask you, do you think the primary school we founded is only set up in a corner of Luoyang, Chang'an City, or should it be popularized all over the world?"
"Nature is the whole world!" Zu Mingjun said without hesitation. It was for this ideal that he refused the official position of the imperial court and stayed in the master's college.
Master Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "you know, although the momentum of a hundred schools of thought is beginning to show, the world still respects Confucianism alone. This time, the Confucius family's requirement is only that primary education must be dominated by Confucianism, which does not prohibit other hundred schools of thought. I don't think it's too much."
Zu Mingjun couldn't help but look at Master Li in amazement.
"If Confucianists obstruct it, Confucius colleges and primary schools will have difficulties. With the help of Confucianists, countless primary schools will be set up all over the world, benefiting countless children all over the world. In addition to learning Chinese, these primary schools should also be required to learn mathematics. This has no impact on the whole process of mathematics, but is an opportunity for the great prosperity of mathematics," said Li.
Zu Mingjun naturally knew that what Master Li said was true. With the help of Confucianism, primary schools must be able to open Datang everywhere. At that time, the whole country will learn arithmetic. Seeing that the opportunity for the prosperity of arithmetic has come, Zu Mingjun was not happy at all.
"What about the Mohist school? We can only maintain today's situation by relying on the Mohist School's funds. Even if the Mohist school didn't abandon the master's College in the last capital crisis, we turned around and abandoned the Mohist school." Zu Mingjun felt guilty and ashamed to face Merton.
Master Li said calmly: "Although we all rely on the help of the Mohists, except for the Mohist village, the Mohists never put the master's college and primary school under the Mohist family, but let us develop independently. Since we and the Mohists are not divided in primary and secondary, our move is not a betrayal of the Mohists, and I think this is also the outcome that the Mohists are happy to see. Once the primary school is booming, the more talents in the world, the more favorable it is for the Mohists, There are a few more people in the world who can become scholars. So many scholars in primary schools all over the world will naturally divert to other 100 schools, and the Mohist school will naturally benefit a lot. "
"But!" Zu Mingjun naturally knew this truth, but he still couldn't pass it psychologically.
Master Li said flatly, "no, but Confucianism is the first of 100 schools, and it is natural for Confucianism to dominate primary education. Moreover, without the support of Confucianism, we have many difficulties in promoting primary education. Our purpose is to make children all over the world accept enlightenment, and when a hundred schools of thought contend, it depends on their abilities."
Zu Mingjun sighed helplessly. He naturally knew that primary schools could not cross the Confucian level anyway. But once Confucianism dominated primary schools, would there be a place for other hundred schools of thought in the future? "
"Brother Zu, worry too much! The Mohist school has never thought of competing with Confucianism for primary school." in the Mohist house, Merton said in a loud voice to the apologetic zumingjun.
"But brother Mo has strongly supported the master's college and donated so many primary schools for many years, but now he has been usurped by Confucianism. My little brother is really sorry." Zu Mingjun apologized. Merton helped a lot in mathematics, but he failed to keep the master's college and primary school for the Mohist school, and he was unable to face Merton in his heart.
When Merton saw this, he turned his mind and said meaningfully, "great fallacy, elder brother, you and I are all from a hundred schools. Some words can be said that the world thinks that the struggle between Confucianism and Mohism is the same. However, he doesn't know that it is not Mohism that will compete with Confucianism in the future, but the same vein of arithmetic. As long as there is arithmetic in primary school, Confucianism will never dominate."
Zu Mingjun suddenly looked up and said, "let's have a pulse of arithmetic?"
Merton nodded solemnly.
"Brother Mo is too proud of the one line of arithmetic. It's just a hundred later schools. It doesn't have a good reputation, let alone classical theories. Even the ancestors' reputation is far from that of the hundreds of schools. How can they compete with Confucianism?" Zu Mingjun said with a bitter smile.
Merton shook his head and said, "brother Zu is too self deprecating. Although the reputation of arithmetic is not obvious, it contains the supreme truth in the world. One is one and two is two. The numbers are the most real and will never change. Moreover, people all over the world may not need Mohism, but they must be able to learn arithmetic. Even Mohist ink technology is based on arithmetic."
Zu Mingjun nodded proudly. He was naturally proud of the pulse of arithmetic.
"Even in Mo's opinion, the future hundred schools will eventually be divided into two schools. One is called 'literature' with Confucianism as the leader and articles as the companion. The other school is based on the one vein of mathematics and numbers as the principle to explore the eternal truth contained in heaven and earth. Mo calls it 'reason'. The dispute among the future hundred schools must be a dispute between literature and theory.
"The dispute between art and science?"
Zu Mingjun couldn't help feeling excited. He never thought that there would be such a brilliant future in the history of mathematics, which he didn't dare to think of.
"Confucianists, Legalists, historians, and even Confucius institutes can be called the literary school, while mathematics, Mohist ink technology, Taoist waidan school, and doctors can all be called the rational school. Now Mohism is in the limelight and attracts the attention of the world and hundreds of schools. At this time, it is the time for the development of mathematics." Merton sincerely looks at the ancestral gentleman aside.
"Build the plank road openly and get through the old warehouse secretly." zumingjun moved in his heart.
Today, the Mohist school takes the initiative in the Ming Dynasty, but let the pulse of mathematics in the dark. It can be said that it has made a lot of sacrifices. While the ancestor Mingjun is moved, he also feels that he has a heavy responsibility. At the same time, he can't help feeling a kind of glory, the glory of being proud of his own theory.
"But can you compete in the same vein?" Zu Mingjun said with some self-confidence. After all, the starting point of the same vein is too low.
Merton firmly said, "if you can win, how many occupations the world needs to write articles and how many occupations need to learn to calculate. In the future, it must be the rational school that has the upper hand. How can you govern the world by relying on colorful articles alone? Naturally, countless precise calculation scheduling can make the world peaceful. From then on, it is not surprising that people of the rational school will become officials in the DPRK."
"Becoming an official in Korea?" Zu Mingjun was immediately excited. He never thought that the whole process of mathematics would be as brilliant as Confucianism. However, under Merton's analysis, he found that it was not impossible to popularize mathematics in the Tang Dynasty with the help of master's college and compulsory education.
"Thank you, brother Mo!" Zu Mingjun was convinced. He was full of guilt today, but he didn't expect to get a brilliant future of mathematics, an unlimited brilliant future.
"Mohism and mathematics are in the same vein, in the same boat, in the same boat!" Merton solemnly said.
"Good! Help each other in the same boat! Jointly carry forward the Neo Confucianism." Zu Mingjun suddenly got up and said proudly.
At this moment, a school of love hate dilemma that gives countless students a headache was officially established.
