Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 65 Tang He: I also want to make progress!

"How dare I have such an idea."

"That's what I asked."

"Please don't blame Mr. Zhang for his humble remarks."

Zhao Lusan smiled and explained.

Zhang Cheng nodded and continued: "Our purpose is to rebuild new etiquette and break the old etiquette. The old etiquette of teachers and students cannot be adopted. We must seek truth from facts and adopt the etiquette proposed by sages that is in line with the current reality. As I just said The words Han Changli mentioned about the way of teaching can be regarded as the words of a sage, and can serve as an outline for you and me to establish a new teacher-student etiquette."

"Therefore, what I mean is according to what Mr. Chang Li said, between teachers and students, there is neither high nor low, neither long nor short, they are all the same friendship as friends. Scholars bow their hands in a salute to express their gratitude to the teacher, and the teacher also When you return the same salute, it means that you are happy to convey the Tao that you have mastered to the person who saluted you."

"I don't know, who is in favor of what I say and who is against it?"

After Zhang Cheng said this, he asked about Zhang Mian, Zhao Lu and others.

Zhang Mian said at this time: "I have said that I am willing to surrender because I don't like the old rules of etiquette that harm the country and the people. Therefore, I agree with Mr. Zhang's suggestion that kneeling is not allowed between teachers and students. There will be no friendship between relatives, let alone the distinction between superior and inferior, which will be more conducive to the purity of preaching and avoid forming cliques in the name of teachers and students, which will undermine the great cause of rebuilding righteousness."

Zhang Mian is now claiming that he surrendered because he couldn't stand the old etiquette and rules, so he can only continue to fight.

Zhao Lu couldn't help but sigh in his heart because of what Zhang Mian said, and he also laughed and said: "Mr. Zhang is saying that this teacher who preaches, teaches, and resolves doubts cannot become a matter of enslaving others to him, so Kneeling is too much, just bow your hands and bow."

Miao Daheng also said: "It's the same with being humble. I would rather believe the words of wise men like Mr. Changli than the words of rotten Confucians. But forcing learners to humble themselves before they can preach is not the original meaning of preaching!"

"I really saw you right."

"They are all enlightened and enlightened people, not pedantic and stubborn people, unlike Jia Zhili and others who only sacrificed their lives for the old rites and were loyal to Hu Yuan without even hesitating to deny their ancestors!"

Zhang Cheng smiled and praised the three of them.

Zhang Cheng felt quite happy because of this, thinking to himself that he had finally brought the ethical relationship between teachers and students back towards mutual respect.

What Zhang Cheng is even more fortunate about is that fortunately, the ancients were not all people who just wanted to eat people, but they also had noble personalities and thoughts.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as Han Yu who clearly stated in "Shi Shuo" "My teacher is the Taoist. Do you know that I was born one after another in his age? Therefore, there is no high or low, no long or short, and the Tao "Where the teacher exists is where the teacher exists", which further gave Zhang Cheng the opportunity to rely on the ancients' words to achieve his own purpose.

This also shows that there are indeed many ideas in ancient Chinese civilization that are conducive to the progress of civilization, and not all of them are ideas that only focus on maintaining the "cannibalism" system. Therefore, the scholar-bureaucrats cannot be completely denied.

It is just the influence of various factors that has led to China's development to the present. Many originally good ideas have been obliterated, and instead they have increasingly actively enslaved their own ideas, causing many ethical relationships to gradually turn into a hierarchical order of superiority and inferiority. Moreover, this order became more and more strict and could not be challenged. It was only re-established every time when the world was in chaos.

For example, the teacher-student relationship mentioned by Zhang Cheng and others, the often-mentioned relationship between monarch and minister, and the father-son relationship that are very important in this era.

It's just that Miao Daheng, Zhang Mian and Zhao Lu, who are from the bureaucratic landlord class, are not so happy.

After all, they are people who have been deeply influenced by the ethics established after the rise of Neo-Confucianism. They are also the controllers of knowledge and belong to the role of teachers. Therefore, they are more willing to accept the concept that the relationship between teachers and students should be related to superiority and inferiority.

But since Zhang Cheng, as a Shangguan, was unwilling to do this, and Zhang Cheng brought out Han Changli, they were demoted again, so they had to accept it flexibly.

Next, Zhang Cheng determined the content of the syllabus and divided the labor with Miao Daheng, Zhang Mian, and Zhao Lu. Among them, Miao Daheng was responsible for teaching the art of war, Zhang Mian, a former Privy Council officer of the Yuan Dynasty, was responsible for teaching money and food planning, and Zhao Lu was responsible for teaching how to arrange troops and formation, and began to discuss the preparation of initial teaching materials.

Since it was not time-consuming to just finalize the outline and initial teaching materials, Zhang Cheng and several instructors were almost ready within a few days, and began to ask Zhu Wenzheng and Miao Daheng to pass on orders to the students to come to the military science class.

"what?"

"Let me go to class?"

"Who is sir?"

After Hua Yun learned about this, he asked Zhang Mian and Zhu Wenzheng in shock.

Zhu Wenzheng pointed at Mr. Miao: "It stands to reason that the main people to teach us are Uncle Miao and Zhang Mian, the former Yuan Dynasty grain catcher, as well as the so-called general family, Zhao Lu, who has delayed us in spreading wealth."

"no!"

"What do your superiors and Mr. Zhang mean by letting these guys who are all surrendered teach me how to read?"

then.

Hua Yun also stretched his neck and asked about Zhu Wenzheng because he knew that the three people who would teach him would be Miao Daheng, Zhang Mian, and Zhao Lu.

Miao Daheng on the side heard Hua Yun's words and just closed his eyes but didn't say anything.

And Hua Yun asked Zhu Wenzheng: "What do you teach?"

"Military affairs, planning, and civil administration."

Zhu Wenzheng replied.

After hearing this, Hua Yun pointed directly at Miao Daheng: "Let these demoted officials teach me military affairs. Do they want to teach me how to defeat the battle and how to harm the people?"

Miao Daheng looked a little worried and turned around.

"I will never study anyway. Tell Mr. You and the superiors that I can't be this student!"

Hua Yun here quickly waved his hands and continued talking.

Zhu Wenzheng reluctantly advised: "Uncle Hua, just go, I have been arranged by my husband."

"Hua Baihu, remember, it is the most basic ethics of an official to not disobey your orders."

"This is the first principle I am going to teach you right now!"

At this time, Miao Daheng spoke to Hua Yun calmly. After hearing this, Hua Yun did not refute, but walked out quickly: "I'm going to see the superior!"

Seeing this, Zhang Mian and Zhu Wenzheng had no choice but to go elsewhere. Not long after, they arrived at Tang He.

"Are there flower clouds?"

After Tang He, who was swimming in the river, learned from Zhu Wenzheng that he was also going to study, he stood up naked from the water on the spot, wiped his face, and asked.

Zhu Wenzheng replied: "Yes."

Tang He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then jumped into the water again.

After a while.

Tang He popped his head and said, "If Hua Yun goes, I will go. If he doesn't go, I won't go either!"

Zhu Wenzheng was helpless and glanced at Miao Daheng.

Miao Daheng said to Zhu Wenzheng: "It seems that this flower cloud is the key."

Zhu Wenzheng replied: "It seems so, I will go and persuade Uncle Hua again!"

Zhu Wenzheng left as soon as he said so.

"Ascend!"

As for Huayun, he had already arrived at the General Manager's Mansion and was walking towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Hua Yun after he arrived: "We knew you were coming."

Hua Yun asked: "Then can we not go to that school?"

"must go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a straight face.

"no!"

"Sir, what can we learn from them?"

Hua Yun asked in confusion.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There is a lot to learn. If we don't learn their knowledge, how will we manage them in the future?"

"But in this case, wouldn't they become our husbands?"

Hua Yun asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes, you are our husband, but since you are a husband, shouldn't you know how to abide by the rules and observe our etiquette?"

After hearing this, Hua Yun asked with some confusion: "What does superior mean?"

"What we mean is that whoever receives a more serious courtesy should abide by greater rules. Otherwise, if it is a disrespectful ceremony, he will be punished twice as much."

Zhu Yuanzhang replied.

talking.

Zhu Yuanzhang persuaded Hua Yun again: "We are doing this for your own good, and Mr. Zhang is also doing it for your own good. You should be grateful to Mr. Zhang for meeting such a true gentleman who truly treats you as his own. Otherwise, who would think of taking the initiative to teach you."

"Even if other Confucian scholars think about it, I'm afraid they won't be willing to remind us, so that people like you who come from farming backgrounds can really have a good future."

"To be honest, we didn't think of letting you be affected in secret. Why don't we teach you some principles first?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also told Hua Yun his inner thoughts.

Hua Yun didn't say anything after hearing this. He just clasped his fists and left Zhu Yuanzhang's place.

Not long after, Hua Yun went to Chuzhou to report on military science.

Tang He also learned about this from Zhu Wenzheng shortly after Hua Yun left.

"what?"

"Hua Yun actually went to military academy?"

"Don't you fucking hold on?"

Tanghe sat up in surprise.

Zhu Wenzheng nodded and asked, "Will Uncle Tang go?"

"go with!"

"Why don't you go!"
