First Minister of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 690
Latest website: Zhang Ximeng changed his mind temporarily, not talking about the specific content, but turned to the lecturer and said, everyone present, how could they not know why!
Liu Sanwu’s face was ashen, Qi Tai, Lian Zining and others also watched Wang Hu gnashing his teeth.
The number one school in the world, such a thing came out?
Openly flattered Zhang Xianggong, and even ran to hold an umbrella. In front of so many students, he simply stepped on the dignity of a teacher and lost his master.
Zhang Ximeng came to Jimin Academy, and his every move attracted much attention.
As a result, Zhang Xiang changed his plan and started to teach morality. This matter will definitely spread all over the world, especially the Fudan Academy. They will definitely laugh at the Jimin Academy. At that time, what should we do?
These people hated Wang Hu so much that they looked at him in the eyes, they wanted to eat him alive.
As for Wang Hu, at this moment, all his thoughts are gone, and he is a mess.
Holding an umbrella for Zhang Xiang, although flattering a bit, is not a big deal. After all, the first-level official crushes people to death, not to mention Zhang Xianggong, the best of the officials!
In the past, there were ministers, ministers, and political envoys, and it was the same. Why didn’t it work?
In the end, is he disregarding the dignity of the teacher, or is Zhang Xiang nitpicking?
Wang Hu couldn’t understand, he just felt that his life was almost finished.
Completely ruined, one sentence determines life and death, one sentence determines right and wrong.
This is the horror of Zhang Ximeng!
“I want to talk about teacher ethics today, and I will talk about two aspects: where does the teacher come from, and what does the teacher teach? Our Jimin Academy has brought together famous teachers from all over the world. , has an extraordinary point, only through the layers of assessment and selection can you enter the school and teach students.”
“But have you thought about it? Looking at the world, how many people can read? I can roughly tell you that under Yuan Ting’s rule, there are only about one percent of the real readers. But three percent. There are only so many people.”
“Under the Ming Dynasty, due to years of unswerving efforts to promote learning and continuous investment, taking Jiangxi and other places as an example, the literacy rate can be close to 20%, and other provinces can also exceed 5%. It seems to have improved a lot, but There is still only one scholar out of five people.”
“This ratio tells us that scholars are very precious, rare, and treasures of the country. Speaking of which, do you mean that scholars are superior to others and should be bossy and ask for anything? This is the mistake we have made in the past two thousand years. Scholars have been raised to a high position, and there are even groups of scholars and officials standing on top of the people. This is a painful lesson, and we must not repeat the same mistakes!”
“In order to cultivate these scholars, how much does the imperial court spend every year? Just last year’s treasury expenditure was 8.2 million treasure notes. This money does not count as private donations, local investment, salt farms, or tax cards. , the special support of internal funds… not to mention the hard work and money that a family has to pay to support a scholar and a family.”
“Take last year as an example, our military expenditure was 7.5 million guan, which also does not include some military expenses and bond income… But anyway, the money spent on education is more than the military expenditure. , that’s for sure.”
When Zhang Ximeng talked about this, he suddenly smiled, “The Song Dynasty that many people admired is known as a foster scholar. What is the proportion of their expenditure? Military expenditure alone accounts for 70% of the national treasury expenditure. In this way, what is it? Who cares more about the scholar and who cares more about the great cause of education seems to need to be re-examined.”
“Speaking of this, I think some people should understand what I mean. There are still very few scholars, and every scholar is the court’s effort and the people’s hard work. It is our country, who is dedicated to supporting it. It is the Ming Dynasty that created the scholars, not the scholars who are above the Ming Dynasty!”
“Every scholar should have a grateful heart for the country and a responsibility to the people! A teacher is an example among scholars, for the country and the family. Only money and hard work can be worthy of the ordinary people who have expectations for themselves? Does the country have to spend money to cultivate a group of flattering villains? Do the people want to see that the arrogant man who empties his family and supports him is a shameless, deceived person Underdog?”
“The word teacher’s morality is not only a teacher’s own moral cultivation, but not your own business. It is a common request from the imperial court to the common people! Since you have enjoyed the school established by the national treasury, since you have taken the blood and sweat of the common people. You should meet the expectations of the world for your salary! This is also what I specifically proposed when I made a lot of legislation. If a teacher makes a mistake, he will have to double the punishment! When others are exiled, the teacher will peel the lasts!”
“Don’t take respecting teachers and teaching as a matter of course, and don’t feel that the people of the world owe you. Especially when it comes to students!”
“The Lord of Heaven and Earth is a teacher, many people confuse master and apprentice with father and son. This is actually a deceiving talk. The meaning behind it is nothing more than to treat the teacher like a father, and obey the teacher. This is a very absurd idea. What did the teacher teach the students, how much kindness does the teacher have for the students, can they be more intimate than father and son?”
Zhang Ximeng said: “After talking about this, it comes to the second question, what does the teacher teach the students… I think what the teacher teaches the students is the summary of the world, the understanding of the world, the knowledge, the Learning… Is this thing owned by the teacher alone?”
“Obviously not. This is what the ancient sages and sages, countless talented people, summed up. It has been passed down for thousands of years, and it just happened to be in your hands. As a teacher, what should you do? It is to continue to inherit these things. Go on, so as to carry forward, innovate, and reach a new realm.”
“It can be seen that when a student asks the teacher for advice and learns knowledge, he is not asking for the teacher’s pity or the teacher’s pity for you, so he is willing to teach… In the end, these knowledge and knowledge are the world’s public tools. Teachers who master public tools should pass it on as a matter of course. If the knowledge in hand is used as a threat, students are held hostage, and profits are made improperly… What is the difference between this and corrupt officials? I hope that all teachers, including young people who will become teachers in the future, can understand the joints here, especially not to be negligent and destroy the dignity of teachers!”
Zhang Ximeng talked eloquently. His words were already a sharp dagger, stabbing many teachers present, causing everyone’s complexion to change suddenly, and they couldn’t help but bow their heads and ponder.
Does what Zhang Ximeng say makes sense?
maybe!
In fact, the most fundamental thing that Zhang Ximeng said is that knowledge and learning are regarded as public tools, and the public is shared by all people in the world!
As a teacher, it is a matter of course to spread knowledge and knowledge. Students who have acquired knowledge from you do not need to thank the teacher for anything. As long as it can be passed on and carried forward, it is the best reward for the teacher.
This reasoning is equivalent to completely denying the remaining master and apprentice Gangchang.
Sure enough, Zhang Ximeng’s work has always been far-reaching, and he can kill more with one stone.
Moreover, his height also allows him to stand in the position of resetting the general rules and require all teachers.
This is much more powerful than a simple carrot and stick.
You dare to be foolish, but there are national laws to punish you.
When Liu Sanwu heard it in his ears, it was even more special. When Zhu Yuanzhang sacrificed to heaven and earth in Yashan, he had the taste of elucidating the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, which was equivalent to telling the world that Emperor Zhu was different from the previous emperors.
The emperor is like this, the courtier is like this, and now even the teacher’s position is different.
In a trance, a whole new world, rebuilding the universe!
It’s really different.
For the rest of the teachers, some were shocked, some were lonely, some were hesitant, and so on.
But many students present,
The seniors, such as Fang Xiaoru, listened very carefully, and he would soon become a teacher.
How to deal with students, perhaps Zhang Xiang’s words today will show him a way out.
As for Zhang Shuning, he has always wanted to be a teacher from a very early time, and it is too unpromising to want to be a teacher when he leaves the prince and the son inappropriate?
Zhang Shuning doubted for a while, would Dad agree?
But until today, Zhang Shuning seems to understand something… It turns out that in the eyes of my father, a good teacher has to shoulder such a big responsibility!
That’s right, in Zhang Shuning’s eyes, these so-called requirements are not burdensome shackles, but the aura that proves the holiness of the teacher.
Teach talents, inherit knowledge, prosper the country, and strengthen civilization!
This is the true meaning of Master Tao!
Who dares to say that the teacher is not as honorable as the prince!
Zhang Shuning gradually clenched his fists and looked at the old man on the podium with fiery eyes. This father is a man who can make him proud all his life!
At this moment, Zhang Ximeng, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com continues to talk, “I have said so much, but I haven’t answered it yet. What exactly is knowledge? I think it contains at least two aspects… First, yes The study of our world, the rise and fall of dynasties, the sophistication of people, the economy and people’s livelihood, and the variety of social conditions. Second, it is the side of the world where we live. How high is the sky, how thick is the ground, the stars are listed, the sky moves around, what is there? Law! The sea is vast and boundless, what mysteries are there in the sea! Thousands of beasts, of different shapes, roam the mountains and fields, how do they survive?
Zhang Ximeng kept asking questions. Among the students, Xia Zhifeng suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the stage stupidly. She was stunned… The teacher’s morality question mentioned earlier, Xia Zhifeng only felt that there was some truth.
However, these contents were directly poking at her points of interest. She read so many books and couldn’t find the answers to many questions.
Just when Xia Zhifeng thought there was no drama, Zhang Ximeng’s remarks surprised her. Could Zhang Xianggong give her the answer she wanted?
