Chapter 38 [038] "Teacher"

After Wei Qingfan finished speaking, the entire classroom fell silent, and the few students who hadn't seen it all turned their heads to look at it.

Li Miaoyu also turned around, raised her face slightly, looked at him with clear and pure eyes, and frowned slightly with her beautiful eyebrows.

Based on her observations and understanding since she met, she had every reason to suspect that after a period of silence, this person couldn't help but look for trouble again.

Mu Yang has been teaching for several years, but he has never encountered such a situation before. He was obviously stunned for a while, and then he tried to keep calm, stood on the podium and said to Wei Qingfan, "Say it."

"Thank you, Teacher Mu."

Wei Qingfan was still very polite, "First of all, before entering the modern society, human society did not get better and better with the passage of time. This is the case in any area. Of course, some areas of modern society are also in this way.

"Secondly, you just said that England's Magna Carta was humanized in the 13th century, and China had Jinyi Weidong Factory until the Ming Dynasty, but in the 16th century, which was the same period as the Ming Dynasty, Europe was also conducting witch hunts and religious courts. Thousands of people were executed in the name of 'heretics';

"At the same time, they believed that witches would turn into vampires, so they burned them to death. This is not an isolated case, but tens of thousands of people were publicly burned to death... Is there such a thing in China at the same time?"

Mu Yang was at a loss for words for a moment, he was still in a daze until now, never thought that there are students who would dare to talk to him like this.

Seeing that Wei Qingfan was looking at him after finishing speaking, and all the students in the classroom were also looking at him, Mu Yang felt that the blood was surging all over his body, and his face showed signs of fever.

He tried his best to control his emotions and maintain his dignity as a teacher. He frowned and scolded, "How many books have you read? How much history do you know? Don't come here to show off just thinking you have read something somewhere."

Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "I have read "History of the Ming Dynasty" and "History of the Middle Ages in Europe". I borrowed them from the county library... Teacher, have you read them?"

This is a lie. He only saw these two books in the county library, but recently they are mainly "practical" books, and he has not borrowed them to read them.

Mu Yang froze, then lowered his face and said: "Don't think that you will be fine after reading two books. History is a very heavy proposition. What can you give two examples to explain? I can say what I want to say. A lot of them come..."

Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "Then tell me, I'll listen."

"you……"

Mu Yang almost couldn't help cursing, and said angrily: "Why is China lagging behind? There are too many people like you who are not enterprising and arrogant. Gunpowder was invented so early, and they only know how to make fireworks. They use it to make fireworks." Long guns and cannons..."

Wei Qingfan laughed and said, "This just shows the leading position of ancient Chinese civilization."

Mu Yang was taken aback, and sneered, "My things are being used to beat me, how can I be ahead?"

"For the same thing, one person uses it to enjoy it, while the other person uses it to smash and kill people. Teacher, who do you think is richer among these two people? Whose living environment is safer?"

Mu Yang was stunned for another two seconds, and Wei Qingfan continued: "In addition, gunpowder was used in military affairs in China at the end of the Tang Dynasty at the latest. Both Song and Song Dynasties developed, and the Ming Dynasty had a department specializing in the development of firearms and During this period, China did not lag behind in the military application of gunpowder, and it was not surpassed and left behind until after the Western Industrial Revolution.”

Mu Yang sneered: "Isn't that still behind? Why are you still arguing with me here?"

Wei Qingfan said with a smile: "Mr. Mu, I'm just refuting your point of view, not arguing. Let's get back to the topic. In ancient China, the rule of virtue was the main thing in most of the time. In modern times, the rule of law is the main thing. It must mean that the rule of law is better than the rule of virtue. Maybe the rule of virtue is too advanced. Of course, ancient China did not lag behind in law.

"In terms of law, the Xia Dynasty had 'Yu Xing', the Shang Dynasty had 'Tang Xing', and the Western Zhou Dynasty had "Lv Xing". "Lv Xing" has clearly stipulated the level of fines and the redemption system..."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and asked very intimately: "Teacher, do you know what the ransom level and the ransom system are?"

Mu Yang snorted coldly and ignored him.

Wei Qingfan continued: "The Qin Dynasty ruled the country according to the law, and the "Qin Law" is relatively advanced and perfect among the ancient laws, not only compared with the later Chinese feudal dynasties, but also the whole world.

"For example, the laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty strive to be clear and easy to understand, so that ordinary people can understand them. Officials who preach the laws and regulations are set up so that the people can understand the laws and regulations, and they can supervise the officials and dare not violate them..."

Mu Yang interrupted: "Where did you read it from?"

Wei Qingfan said: "In 1975, Yunmeng Qin Bamboo Slips were unearthed in Shuhudi, Yunmeng County, Hubei Province. There are a lot of laws of the Qin Dynasty in it. Didn't Teacher Mu understand it?"

"Alright, alright."

Mu Yang became impatient, "Sit down, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, go on with your self-esteem! Everyone has built pyramids, and you are still playing with mud..."

Wei Qingfan interrupted: "The pyramids were built by the ancient Egyptians, and have nothing to do with Europe!"

"How many days have you been in school? Are you here to reason with me?"

Mu Yang was completely annoyed, his face flushed, and he raised his voice to scold angrily, "Is Greece Europe? Is ancient Rome Europe? Are you stupid for reading?"

After all, he is a teacher, and when he yelled like this, the atmosphere in the whole classroom seemed to freeze.

Many classmates who had a good relationship with Wei Qingfan frequently gave him winks, signaling him not to anger the teacher.

Cao Ze pulled Wei Qingfan's clothes vigorously underneath, and Li Miaoyu and Xie Yao also turned around, signaling him to stop arguing with their eyes.

"Teacher, I am reasoning with you."

Wei Qingfan was still not in a hurry, his tone was calm, and he even had a smile on his face, "Don't be angry, just talk about it."

"You tell me the truth."

Mu Yang's anger remained undiminished, "What reason do you have to say? I said backwardness is backwardness. You say that after a long time, can you change modern history? Can you change the fact of backwardness?"

"Of course the facts cannot be changed, so we have to study harder."

Wei Qingfan stood straight and looked at Mu Yang, "But it doesn't mean that we have to deny ourselves all because of our temporary lag."

Mu Yang probably thought this was a student who was stupid in reading, so he laughed angrily, "Then tell me, what are the glorious deeds in ancient China?"

"Then that's too much, I'm sure I can't finish talking about my half-baked level."

Wei Qingfan smiled, and said modestly, but he continued, "It is also facing the flood. The west you said built a boat, and a small number of people escaped in the boat. Our side is Dayu to control the flood;
"We also believe in gods, but the gods have to work for us. If the work is done, they will be offered with incense. If it is not good, they will push down the statues, just like praying for rain. If they fail, they will put the statue of the Dragon King in the sun...

"We also have turmoil, but we can reunify and rise every time. We have seen many great empires in history books. Where are they now? How many territories are there? How are they living?
"London in the 14th century had a population of 10 people, and every day because of the excrement of these 10 people, the streets stink to death. Chang'an had a population of one million 500 years ago;

"During Columbus's voyages, Zheng He, who made seven voyages to the South Seas, had been dead for half a century;
"When the Romans were playing with wooden machine crossbows, the Qin Dynasty had already started to mass-produce bronze machine crossbows. When the Romans replaced the bronze daggers with iron swords, the steel knives of the Han Dynasty were tired of using them. When aristocratic knights wore shiny plate armor, hundreds of years had passed since the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty and the stepper armor of the Song Dynasty;

"In ancient times, we have been fighting with northern nomads. Every time we win, these nomads will run to the west. Why do you think they always run to the west? How did they survive to the west?

"The Xiongnu were beaten by the Han Dynasty and fled, and then went to Europe to destroy the Western Roman Empire; Song and Jin joined forces to destroy the Liao Kingdom, and the remnant of the Liao Kingdom Yelu Dashi defeated the Seljuk Empire's coalition forces; Needless to say, the Mongolian Western Expedition?
"Among the four ancient civilizations, ancient Babylon is gone, and ancient Egypt and ancient India have changed groups of people in the same place. Only we have always been China, from ancient times to the present;
"Stavrianos said in his book "General History of the World" that China led the world in the 1000 years after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This statement is more objective than many foreigners and even Chinese people, but it is also relatively one-sided. In the 2000 years before the Industrial Revolution, we were all pushing the entire human civilization forward with our own efforts.

"We have fallen behind in modern times, and if we fall behind, we will be beaten, but this is not the reason why we completely deny the glory of our ancestors. Don't be beaten down, and you will never stand up again."

Wei Qingfan doesn't know much about history, and many of these are messy content cobbled together on the Internet by later generations, which may not be true, but he is not doing science popularization.

He just didn't want his classmates to be influenced by Mu Yang's words that "China is backward" and "Don't believe in textbooks, China has been backward since ancient times".

So it doesn't matter whether the content is rigorous, it is enough to be able to output emotions.

The so-called: I don’t need to know very well, but it’s enough to know better than you!
He continued: "The Aryans were defeated by the Shang Dynasty when they conquered the east. Alexander did not reach this side, and Timur's expedition failed halfway. In fact, I was quite looking forward to it. At that time, Wuzhu Mobei was in power. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, but after the Western Industrial Revolution, the Opium War, we lost, and we lost again and again;
"As long as the family business left by our ancestors is a little weaker, as long as our ancestors' will is not so firm, and there is no such a group of people, we may really be doomed, just like ancient Egypt and ancient India;

"Everyone has learned in modern history. When no one knew whether we could survive, so many people fought against the hail of guns and bullets. We were reborn from nirvana again. After the founding of the country, we were poor and white. We singled out the United Nations Army and won. up.

"We have lost, but we can't deny ourselves just because we lost, thinking that we are inherently inferior to others, inferior to others, and behind others in everything, and we can't stand up just because we were beaten down. I can't get up..."

He was still eloquent, and Mu Yang was completely annoyed. He slapped the desk and shouted, "What are you doing here? You are a student or you are here to show off? You are patriotic and capable, right?"

"Teacher, don't be angry."

Wei Qingfan still had a smile on his face, "My uncle who works in the County Education and Sports Bureau has always told me that the most important thing to be a teacher is the teacher's morality, and he has to reason with his classmates. He likes Han Yu's "Teacher Talk" the most. Have……"

"If you don't want to go to class, get out, your uncle..."

Mu Yang was completely irritated, and completely forgot the elegant style he always put on. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and he was about to show his majesty as a teacher. It was like being strangled by the neck, and the body was also frozen there, like a puppet.

Wei Qingfan didn't seem to have seen or heard it, and continued on his own: "'Students don't have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers don't have to be better than disciples. There is a priority in learning the truth, and there is a specialization in art." These are two of my uncle's favorite sentences. talk.

"He often told me during his breaks at the Education and Sports Bureau that teachers, teachers, and sometimes students can teach teachers..."
