Chapter 974

Confucius house!

Kong Yingda returned to his residence with a tired face. He didn't expect that his confident education reform would encounter so much resistance.

Not only a group of teachers are unwilling, but even students are unwilling. They are simply unwilling to learn other knowledge besides scientific examination.

Today, he received dozens of joint petitions from teachers and students' parents, and his political enemy Yu Zhining attacked him repeatedly, which exhausted him.

"Today's future generations have finally realized the plight of their ancestors who traveled around the world and repeatedly hit the wall." Kong Yingda knelt in front of Kong Sheng's portrait and said with deep fatigue.

In those days, Confucius sage traveled around the world to praise Confucius' benevolence and courtesy and admire Confucius' knowledge for his own ideas. However, no one valued Confucius, and Confucius was depressed all his life. But now I am not like this. Everyone knows that once the primary school is completed, it will benefit countless students all over the world. This will be good governance, but it has been frustrated repeatedly.

"The root of this matter lies in the five surnames and seven hopes, and the essence of the primary school dispute is the dispute between aristocratic families and poor families." Kong Desheng's figure appeared in front of the portrait of Confucius and said faintly.

"Aristocratic family and poor family?" Kong Yingda sighed in his heart. He didn't know that this was a black hand with five surnames and seven looks. If it weren't for this, how could Manchu officials either oppose or be neutral.

"News has come from Qufu and we are quite dissatisfied with our behavior in Chang'an city." Kong Desheng said in a low voice.

"Dissatisfied?" Kong Yingda raised her eyebrows and angrily scolded, "have they forgotten the idea of their ancestors so that people all over the world can know books and understand rites? This is Kong Sheng's lifelong wish."

Kong Desheng sighed slightly and said, "my Kong family has passed on for thousands of years and has become an aristocratic family."

In his opinion, even the Confucius family has gradually deteriorated. He just wants to immerse himself in the glory of the Confucius family and enjoy its success. No matter whether the aristocratic family is good or poor, as long as Confucianism is popular, the Confucius family just needs to be alone and keep their own prosperity.

Kong Yingda denounced: "it's ridiculous. Now a hundred schools of thought are contending again. It's the time for Confucianism to forge ahead. If even our descendants don't fight for the legacy of our ancestors, how can the Kong family have the face to steal the legacy of our ancestors."

Kong Desheng couldn't help sighing. The Kongs in Qufu didn't feel the power of the contention of a hundred schools of thought in Shandong. However, they were in Chang'an City and saw the rapid changes in Chang'an City, which can be described as a change for thousands of years. The glory of the Kongs came from the prosperity of Confucianism. If Confucianism lost in this contention of a hundred schools of thought, I'm afraid the glory of the ancestors of the Kongs would disappear, At that time, I'm afraid the Confucius family will regret.

"Compared with the embarrassment of our ancestors Confucius, what are the difficulties of our future generations?" Kong Yingda stood up and said firmly in the face of the portrait of Kong Sheng.

Kong Desheng said solemnly, "yes, we are all schools of thought. Our life philosophy is the Great Duke of the world. We can never seek private gifts for one family and one surname."

It is the ultimate idea of Kong Sheng to be wise for the people all over the world. Now this opportunity is close at hand. The Kong family must not miss it.

Uncle and nephew ignored one eye, and suddenly they were filled with pride and walked out of the Confucius ancestral hall with their heads held high.

"Report back to the master! Marquis Mo asked to see you!" as soon as they walked out of the ancestral hall, they heard the report from the servants of the Confucius house.

"The Mohist family......" Kong Yingda was surprised. He knew that the Mohist family was in a bad situation. He didn't expect him to come to the door at this time.

"Where are people?" Kong Yingda asked.

"The villain has arranged for him to wait in the living room." the servants of the Confucius house respectfully said.

Kong Desheng said proudly, "let's go! It's good to know Mohism!"

When they came to the living room, they saw mojiazi get up and bow their hands and say, "I've seen the master and predecessors."

"What are you doing here? Are you coming to see the joke of entering the family?" Kong Yingda said unhappily. He was reduced to such a point that he could not get rid of the relationship with the Mohist school. If the Mohist school was not pressed step by step, Confucianism would still be at ease now. How could he take such a risk to compete with the aristocratic family.

Merton said with a wry smile, "the master is serious. Now Confucianism and Mohism are in sympathy with each other. What qualifications do students have to laugh at Confucianism."

"Sympathize with each other! As far as I know, the Mohist school is already in crisis. According to the rumors of Chang'an City, the Mohist village has begun to sell off its industry. Unfortunately, no bid has been made, and my Confucian school will never stay the same." Kong Desheng sneered.

Merton nodded heavily and said, "yes, the industry of Mojia village has become the meat in the mouth of five surnames and seven hopes. No one dares to eat at all. Even if some people are willing to take risks and have to try their best to lower the price, that money is useless."

"It's also the Wuwang seven surnames!" Kong Desheng frowned. They have always been proud of being a hundred schools of thought. However, this time, the Wuwang seven surnames have taught them a deep lesson. A group of mercenary aristocratic families have made it difficult for the hundreds of schools of thought to inherit for thousands of years.

"That's because you are too radical. I see how you can fill such a huge hole." Kong Yingda snorted coldly. He admitted that his student was indeed a genius, but his actions were often radical. Although he saved himself from danger many times, the process was breathtaking, and he danced on the tip of the knife every time.

Merton was cunning and said with a smile: "the hole in Mojia village bank is not in Momou's heart. If Momou is willing, he can block it in a short time."

"Seriously!" Kong Yingda looked at Merton incredulously. As far as he knew, it was an astronomical sum of money.

"Of course, the Mohist movement is in the last few days, when the master can argue between true and false." Merton said confidently.

Seeing Merton's self-confidence, Kong Yingda couldn't help taking a deep breath. If others spoke like this, Kong Yingda must think he was talking big. However, he couldn't help believing Merton, because Merton has created enough miracles.

"Then why do you have to wait until now..." Kong Desheng frowned. If the Mohist family has a way to fill the big hole in the bank, why do you have to wait until the Mohist situation has collapsed to this point before taking action.

Merton sneered: "naturally, it's to let the world see the greedy and ugly face of the aristocratic family. Without this, how can people all over the world understand how hypocritical the five surnames and seven hopes they look up to are and how to use power to seek private interests for them? Only when people all over the world see the selfishness of the aristocratic family can they trust the Grand Duke of our family."

"Therefore, the Mohist School deliberately retreated until the desire for five hopes and seven surnames grew too big to hide." Kong Desheng opened his eyes and couldn't believe it.

Merton shook his head and said, "the Mohist school did not deliberately retreat. In the face of absolute power, the Mohist school can't resist, but this doesn't mean that the Mohist school has no power to fight back."

Kong Desheng blew his beard and said coldly, "since the Mohist school is enough to protect itself, why did the Mohist Lord come to the door today? Is it to see the jokes of the Confucius family?"

"Mo came here today to see if the Confucianists who defeated the Mohist school were still there, and if the legacy of Kong Sheng, who was not afraid of power and did not eat food from the cold, continued." Merton stared at Kong Yingda solemnly.

Kong Yingda stood up angrily and said, "now you see, the millennium plan of our Confucianism was pointed out by ten thousand men. In the middle of the court, the old man was played by dozens of people in a day. In the field, countless teachers and students gnashed their teeth at the old man. Are you satisfied with the result?"

"Does the master think he is wrong?" pursued Merton.

Kong Yingda snorted coldly, "wrong? What's wrong with me? Let everyone in the world read and understand etiquette. This is the ancestor's lifelong dream. If I'm wrong, wouldn't I say that the ancestor Confucius was wrong! In those years, the ancestors didn't want to live in princes against their will, would I be willing to be driven by the aristocratic family?"

Merton laughed and said, "so Confucianism is worthy of Mohist admiration and qualified to cooperate with Mohist."

"Cooperation!" Kong Yingda turned a deaf ear to Merton's flattery, but focused on Merton's last sentence.

"Yes, students have recently studied the Three Kingdoms and found that the situation of tripartite confrontation is really subtle. Now the five hopes and seven surnames are powerful, like Cao Wei, while Confucianism and Mohism are like Shu and Wu, and Shu and Wu are against Wei. From the students' point of view, this is the time when you and our Confucianism and Mohism cooperate sincerely." Merton said generously.

"Cooperation between Confucianism and Mohism!" Kong Yingda and his wife were so excited that they could not do anything about the current situation of Confucianism. If they cooperated with Mohism, it would be the best choice, just as Shu and Wu had the power to fight against Wei.

"It's OK to cooperate! But your Mohist school has a way to break the situation. If you can find a way to break the situation for Confucianism, the cooperation between Confucianism and Mohism may not be impossible." Kong Desheng said.

Kong Yingda nodded. He knew that Merton had made many tricks. Maybe he could really solve the current dilemma of Confucianism. Since the Mohists wanted to cooperate, they had to show some sincerity.

Merton laughed and said: "The master is really obsessed with the situation. The biggest reason why the masters and students all over the world often oppose the reform of private schools is that the imperial examination is not taken, and they think learning is useless! And the master, holding the Imperial College, is the highest University in the Tang Dynasty. Just keep the government order to add some content to the contents of the world rural examination, county examination and government examination. At that time, what do the master want the students all over the world to learn, the students all over the world The master will teach what he can learn. "

The power of the baton of the college entrance examination in future generations is famous. Merton copied it and turned it into the baton of the imperial examination. It will certainly have the same effect. The Imperial College has great rights. I'm afraid everything else will be under the supervision of the Imperial College except that it can't be determined by going to Beijing for the examination.

"Wonderful!" Kong Desheng exclaimed. The purpose of these students' school is to be officials in the imperial examination. As long as they can be officials, they will learn what they are asked to learn.

However, Kong Yingda slowly shook his head and said, "this plan is wonderful, but it doesn't work at the moment. Now the officials of the aristocratic family are all over the court. If I play this policy rashly, I'm afraid I will be rejected by all the officials immediately."

"Alas!" Kong Desheng sighed with regret. Such a good plan can only be put on the shelf.

Merton's eyes turned and said, "since it doesn't work from top to bottom, we can only wait from bottom to top."

"Bottom up! What does this mean?" Kong Desheng didn't understand.

Merton Lang said: "Confucianism wants everyone in the world to be able to read and write. In addition to building primary schools, there is another way, that is, lending books to people in the world."

"Lend books to people all over the world!" Kong Yingda was puzzled.

Merton nodded: "The reason why aristocratic families occupy the Imperial Hall is not only that the children of aristocratic families have the guidance of famous teachers since childhood, but also because the aristocratic family has a large collection of books. The children of aristocratic families have extensive knowledge and doubled their natural talents. The poor children have a poor family background and can barely maintain their schooling, let alone buy books with money. They usually ask for books from others, which often attracts people's eyes."

Kong Yingda couldn't help nodding. Naturally, he knew how difficult it was for a poor student to study. He didn't even have many books. He didn't talk about learning. That's why it's difficult for a poor family to get out of your son.

"However, the poor students all over the world lack books to read, and the Confucius family must have countless books. If the master can set up a library in the busy market and donate all the books in his family for free reading by the students all over the world, what a blessing for the poor students all over the world." Merton said.

"For students all over the world to read!" Kong Yingda was shocked. Once the poor students all over the world have a large number of books to read, the gap between him and the children of the aristocratic family will be narrowed to the extreme. In addition, the number of poor children is 100 times that of the children of the aristocratic family. Before long, the advantages of the aristocratic family will no longer exist.

More importantly, the books read by these students are donated by the Confucius family. Isn't it that all students in the world should accept the kindness of the Confucius family? How can the Confucius family miss such a good thing.

Kong Desheng was also excited and couldn't restrain himself. Apart from the Imperial Palace, I'm afraid there are more books in the world than the Kongs. However, he lost his way: "although this policy is good, most of the Kongs' books are isolated books, which can be read by one person at most. If there are so many students in the world, how can they be borrowed by all students in the world.

Merton suddenly showed a familiar shyness and said, "ink has a skill! It can solve the worries of Confucianism."
