Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

Xianyang County School.

Due to Fusu's openness to the public, during the student holidays, the official school would open its doors as a place for students from various schools to communicate. Therefore, Xianyang County School became the most concentrated place for children from hundreds of families in the entire Qin Dynasty.

And recently, it has been even more lively for everyone.

Because Sun Tong, the great Confucian scholar, and Mozi Xianglizi, one of the three major branches of Mohism, openly debated, and the focus of the debate was exactly what was published in the newspapers recently.

According to this latest issue of the newspaper, Daqin will build the highest institution of learning in Daqin: Daqin University, and recruit tutors and students from all over the world.

Shusuntong and Xianglizi hoped to attract the attention of the court by refuting each other, so that they could become tutors at Daqin University.

Everyone knows that Daqin attaches great importance to education nowadays. Those who can enter Daqin University must be the most outstanding students in Daqin and have an infinitely bright future.

If you can enter Daqin University as a tutor, you will have the opportunity to recruit these most outstanding elite students from Daqin. Are you worried that the theory will not be revitalized?

Moreover, according to the introduction, the principal and deputy deans of Daqin University are personally served by Ying Zheng and Fu Su. If they can become mentors, wouldn't they have the opportunity to meet Ying Zheng and Fu Su? Once they are chosen, they will worry about not being able to enter the court. As an official?

Therefore, after the two disciples had a heated argument, they simply went into battle themselves.

The debate between the two well-known figures also attracted countless people to watch.

You should know that although Legalism had the upper hand in the Great Qin Dynasty, Confucianism was still the most prominent among the folk schools, with disciples all over the world.

As for Mohism, although it has declined and split into three branches, it was once a prominent school alongside Confucianism and is still well-known.

Moreover, the focus of the controversy is also very eye-catching, that is, the Confucian"benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trust," and the Mohist"universal love, non-aggression". Which one is more suitable for Da Qin?

"I didn’t expect that I would gain so much after leaving the palace today."

"Fusu, how did you come up with the idea of opening up official schools to them for debate?"

Ying Zheng, who was dressed in plain clothes, said with a smile.

As the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, although he respects Legalism, he will not respect Legalism alone.

To put it bluntly, the theories of each school are the same as the so-called Yin and Yang family's five virtues. For Ying Zheng, it is A tool.

Use it if it is useful to the Qin Dynasty, and throw it away if it is not useful.

Therefore, there are still Confucian officials in the court, and there are always Mohist disciples in the general office.

However, these two families have no influence on the Qin Dynasty. Their attitudes have not been changing for the Qin Dynasty like the Legalists, so Ying Zheng has always been lukewarm towards them.

"The spread of this theory is just like water control. It is better to block it than to thin it out. Instead of suppressing them, let hundreds of families have opinions about us and complain that I, the Great Qin Court, do not give them a chance.

Why not give them a generous opportunity and let them perform on their own?"

"You can't argue with others in a debate. If the court doesn't use you, you have nothing to say."

"If you can stay in the debate until the end, you have some real power. No matter how bad it is, there is still no problem in becoming a gentleman."

"By selecting a few of the winners, the imperial court would not only absorb talents, but also have courteous and virtuous corporals, and reuse the reputation of disciples from hundreds of schools. Why not?"

"Moreover, father, do you see? Fusu pointed to the extremely lively area outside the county school. Almost half the street was crowded with vendors and spectators, and said,"With so many people gathering here, they always want to eat and drink. Isn't this business going to be stimulated?"

With the development of commerce, the court has received a lot more taxes, and the people of Xianyang have one more way to make a living. Why not?"

"Moreover, the ancients all knew the reason why Mencius’ mother moved three times. We have made this place a place for hundreds of families to communicate, which can be called a major event in Xianyang City. Many Xianyang people like to bring their children to watch the excitement in their spare time. After that, didn’t the academic style also flourish? Fusu said with a slight smile.

"A small official debate can actually have so many connections. It seems that my father made the right decision to follow Fusu out of the palace this time."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

Even Shusun Tong, a great scholar who was well-known throughout the Qin Dynasty, and Mozi, a branch of the Mohist sect, came to the stage to debate. It can be seen that all the students from hundreds of schools in the world have joined the Qin Dynasty. It's not an ideal, but it's actually on the road.

Fusu can use such a simple and extremely low-cost method to make Baijia, who was originally quite rebellious, become so docile, and so does Yingzheng. I admire you very much

"But can this group of people really go to university to teach and educate people?"

Listening to Shusun Tong and Xianglizi arguing for a long time about benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trust, and universal love, Ying Zheng suddenly frowned and said.

These two views are not impossible to use to educate ordinary people. But

Ying Zheng Mr. Zheng feels that these two theories are a bit too soft, too benevolent, and not domineering enough.

To put it bluntly, the Confucian view is good internally and can make people obedient, but externally, it is a bit aggressive.

Once Confucianism becomes the mainstream , the atmosphere will inevitably become conservative, more than stable, and not enough enterprising.

It is in great conflict with the foundation of the Qin Dynasty, the military merit and title system. And the Mohist's love for all, non-offensive, and equality of all living beings are even more outrageous in Ying Zheng's view.

According to the Mohists, he, the emperor, is the same as the common people, so what does the emperor need to do?

What if these people are allowed to enter Daqin University and lead Daqin's best young men astray? It is the loss of Great Qin.

Ying Zheng does not want such remarks to appear in the future court, which will lead the future emperors of Great Qin astray.

Once an empire loses its enterprising spirit and stagnates, it will definitely be extremely dangerous. terrible thing

"Father, there is no need to worry about it. They are standing here debating at this moment, so they can naturally stick to their original views."

"However, if you want to enter Daqin University, you must abide by the views of your father and son. Fusu said with a smile:"In universities, there are lecture materials, and any teaching materials must be reviewed.""

Ying Zheng understood immediately.

Just like the"Da Qin Daily" needs to be reviewed by Ying Zheng and Fu Su before it can be published, the lecture content of Da Qin University also needs to be approved by Ying Zheng and Fu Su. It does not meet the requirements of Da Qin's interests. , could not reach the ears of the students at all.

The dean and deputy dean have real significance.

"In this way, the father is relieved."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

He also understood more what Fusu said, it is better to open up than to block.
