Chapter 365 Western learning is another world
Update time: 2013-01-08
The treatment Wang Yi gave shocked Xu Shichang for a while and could not speak.
"You can ask any questions or requirements! It's my business to answer whether you agree or not, and it's your business to say whether you say it or not."
Xu Shichang didn't answer easily. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "No, sir, he is very considerate, Xu is willing to obey his arrangements."
The conditions given by Wang Yi have exceeded the best result that Xu Shichang discussed with Yuan Shikai before coming. You must be content and those who are content will always be happy. Otherwise, too much will be too much, and Wang Yi will be underestimated.
"Since it's done, I wonder what Mr. Xu's plan is next? If nothing happens, why would I take him around the Northeast now?" Wang Yi smiled and saw Xu Shichang hesitating. After thinking about it, he knew the reason and said again: "You don't have to worry about Lord Yuan. If you write a letter now, I will send someone to send it there."
"Thank you, sir. Since sir told me, Xu Mouan dared not to obey."
The reason why Xu Shichang was left was because Wang Yi thought others were good. At least in the modern history of later generations, Xu Shichang's character, vision and ability were extraordinary and outstanding in the Beiyang era. If he could really be used by Wang Yi and compatible with the Northeast Autonomous Region Government, he might not be the best candidate for the Prime Minister of the Northeast Autonomous Region in the future.
Because the business has been completed, Wang Yi and Xu Shichang met Tong Qianjia and Jiang Jiaren. After waiting for a while, Shen Yazhi brought Lin Tae-hee, Han Xiujing and Kim Yoon-er back from the hospital. If it were ordinary women, Xu Shichang would not be too restrictive, but this was the family of Wang Yi, the leader of the Northeast bandit, and he didn't know where to look.
After drinking coffee and eating cake, Wang Yi did not follow Shen Yazhi back to Ningdao, but took Xu Shichang to Dashang. He first went to Dashang Affiliated Hospital, and then went to Dashang University. It is said that the latter was a place that Xu Shichang had long heard of his reputation. He seemed very excited to have the honor to go today.
In Xu Shichang's idea, the University in Northeast China should be similar to the Imperial College in Beijing, but when he arrived at the place, he realized that he was very wrong. This large building complex, which is not as strong as the Imperial College, is just like a large newly built palace. A large amount of new building materials and the application of architectural design make the Dashang University look unique. The people in the interior are constantly in contact, not as strict as Xu Shichang imagined.
"Does Mr. Xu know the inscription on the humble room?"
Xu Shichang nodded, isn't this a joke? How could he not know the humble room in the imperial examination?
"The inscription on the humble room was selected from the Tang Dynasty. As for whom it was written, there are many debates. One said it was from Liu Yuxi, and the other said it was from Cui Mian (Mian, read Mian three times) earlier than Liu Yuxi."
Wang Yi knew Liu Yuxi, and as for who Cui Mian was, he was not very clear. When he was in school, the Chinese teacher mentioned the Huoshi Ming, only saying that the author was Liu Yuxi, and as for Cui Mian, it seemed that he didn't even mention it. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't actually recite the Huoshi Ming completely. I only remember one of the sentences that seemed to be a great scholar in talking and laughing, but no white dicks in the relationship?"
"That's right."
Seeing Xu Shichang's attitude of memorizing the full text, he immediately stopped it and said, "Mr. Xu, but I don't agree with that point of view. In my university, we respect people with great knowledge and do not reject people who are interested in learning."
"Sir, I am very righteous. Confucius said that there is no difference in teachings, and this is what it should be."
Wang Yi discovered that although Xu Shichang was a mixed army, he had also brought a bit of military aura in recent years. However, compared with him, his ability to chew in words is much worse.
The two walked casually in the university, many of them were Wang Yi's students. After seeing Wang Yi, they greeted each other very affectionately. Although the weather was cold, people were hot. This feeling of peaches and plums all over the world made Xu Shichang a little envious. Later, he couldn't help but sigh: "Since the Han Taixue, the world has never seen such peaceful and prosperous scenery for thousands of years!"
"Ha, Mr. Xu's words are wrong! I, Wang Yi, dare not agree with this."
"I also ask the sir for advice."
"The name of Taixue started in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but after Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty, the world began to respect Confucianism alone, and Taixue became a place to teach Confucianism. Later, a Song Dynasty man named Zhang Zai once said that he had established his mind for the heaven and earth, established his destiny for the people, inherited his unique knowledge for the past sages, and created peace for all generations. I wonder Mr. Xu, you are a high-ranking scholar of Confucianism. Wang's arrogant words can this statement come true?"
Xu Shichang's expression was a little unfavorable at this time, but he still shook his head and said, "Not accomplished!"
Wang Yi laughed and said, "Mr. Xu, can you tell me that what is the most proud thing I, Wang Yi, and a group of disciples, after establishing the Northeast Autonomous Region?"
Xu Shichang didn't say anything, waiting for Wang Yi's following.
"educate!"
Wang Yi took Xu Shichang to the university, and Xu Shichang naturally guessed his true meaning, so Xu Shichang probably vaguely knew the answer to Wang Yi's previous question. However, the answer was the answer, but Xu Shichang only knew the word education. As for why Wang Yi attached so much, he didn't know.
"Ten years of trees, hundreds of years of trees. Speaking of which, since the smoke of firearms in Lin Zexu, the knowledgeable people of the Qing Dynasty have seen that if the country continues like this, it will not take more than ten years to worry about the country's destruction, so they have the initiative to open their eyes to see the world. However, everyone has forgotten that changing a country is actually the most fundamental way to change the people of a country. But the education of the Qing Dynasty is still the kind of thing that Confucianism has done. So what should we use to educate the people and compete with foreigners who have been ahead for hundreds of years?"
Xu Shichang became silent. Wang Yi said the truth was very simple, but the simpler it was, the more undeniable it was.
"After the failure of the First Opium War, there was the Second Opium War. The Qing Dynasty was still defeated and the compensation was opened. Then Lord Zuo Zongtang recaptured Xinjiang. It seemed that he had taken Xinjiang back, but in fact he lost a large area of territory that originally belonged to us. Not to mention the Qing Dynasty and France war, the Mawei Shipyard was blown into ruins and the fleet was destroyed. Although the war on the road was covered with fig leaf like the Zhennan Pass, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Qing Dynasty was weak. Are there few such cases in recent years?"
"Xu deeply agrees with Mr. Xu. However, I really don't agree with the theory of Confucianism." If Xu Shichang really agrees, Wang Yidao really looks down on him. "I would like to ask you a question. Zhang Zhidong, the current governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, once said that middle school is the body and western learning is the purpose. I wonder what Mr. thinks?"
Wang Yi sneered and said, "Mr. Xu, what is middle school and what is Western school?"
Xu Shichang really couldn't answer.
"It's easy to talk about middle school, but to put it bluntly. Is it the kind of Confucianism, but what about Western learning?"
"The officials don't understand."
"Western learning...it's a completely different world from us."
