"Stepping stone!!!"
"My Confucianism has never been discontinued for thousands of years, and it continues to this day, but you have slandered it as a stepping stone! Han Du, you are so presumptuous!!!"
Li Shou was angry, Li Shou was really angry!
Even if Han Du dug up his ancestral grave, he would not be as angry as he is now! The dignified Confucian orthodoxy was scornfully regarded as a stepping stone by Han Du. This was something Li Shou would rather fight Han Du to his death than he could accept!
Han Du was shocked when he saw that Li Shou looked like he was losing his mind and going crazy.
"Oops...why did you say what's on your mind..."
Zhu Yunye also secretly thought that it was not good, but he was not worried about what Li Shou could do to Han Du. Even if Li Shou rushes to fight Han Du, he may not be able to defeat Han Du. Besides, he was still watching. At most, he could just ask someone to come in and pull the two of them apart.
What he was really worried about was what kind of disturbance Han Du would cause after his words spread.
Now the Imperial College is already at loggerheads with the Academy, and if this word spreads again, it will be like throwing a powder keg on top of this fire.
It's going to explode! ! !
Zhu Yunye certainly didn't want to see such a situation happen. He gritted his teeth and racked his brains to think of ways to resolve it.
Seeing that Li Shou was about to rush towards him, Han Du immediately raised his hand to stop, "Wait a minute!"
"That's not what I said!" Seeing that Li Shou had no intention of stopping, Han Du quickly explained.
Li Shou was startled, stopped immediately, and shouted sternly: "Who said that?"
Seeing this, Zhu Yunye let out a breath of hot breath, and stopped the words he was about to call someone in his throat.
"It's not who said that..." Han Du smiled contemptuously and shook his head. Seeing that Li Shou was about to get angry again, he said calmly: "It's just what you did."
"You're talking nonsense!" Li Shou shouted angrily, but he didn't get any more excited and rushed towards Han Du.
Han Du slowly stood up and faced Li Shou tit-for-tat. He suddenly burst out laughing and pointed at his nose: "Am I talking nonsense?"
"You are the Imperial Concubine, so let me ask you, after the Imperial Academy students pass the Jinshi examination and become officials, will they continue to study knowledge as they did in the Imperial Academy?"
...After passing the imperial examination and becoming an official, will you continue to study knowledge?
Li Shou can answer this question without thinking, of course not! He has personally seen too many students, let alone officials. After passing the Jinshi examination, they simply throw away their previous books and spend the whole day instead of hanging out with their friends. Those who have the conditions will even live in the city directly. Inside the brothel, people sleep with flowers and drunken willows all day long.
If Han Du hadn't pointed it out, even he, the Imperial Academy Jijiu, would have thought there was nothing wrong with this. After all, Han Chuang has studied hard for more than ten years, so what if he indulges himself for a while?
But now that Han Du pointed it out, Li Shoucai suddenly realized that from then on, those students who were Jinshi in high school almost all put their knowledge aside and began to study the way of promotion in the officialdom.
For a moment, Li Shou's anger disappeared completely, and he fell silent!
"After people from the Imperial College become officials, will anyone still hold the Four Books and the Five Classics and study them carefully? Will anyone still appreciate the subtle words and great deeds of the sages?" Han Du continued to ask unhurriedly.
Li Shou raised his eyes slightly and looked at Han Du, but he had no way to answer. When these things were not pointed out by Han Du, everyone including himself ignored this. Secondly, this is a fact and there is no way to refute it.
Han Du sighed leisurely and stood on the golden pier again. He looked at Li Shou with a teasing smile in his eyes, "After more than ten years of studying hard in the cold window, and decades of perseverance in my heart, I just became an official. Give up and throw it aside. I said they are using knowledge as a stepping stone, am I wrong?"
...Wrong? Of course...nothing wrong with that. Li Shou smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that after decades of persistence, he would turn out to be such a joke. It was so ridiculous that Han Du pointed at his nose and ridiculed him, but he had no way to refute.
"What about the academy? Do the students in the academy continue to study knowledge after they become officials? Don't they also regard knowledge as a stepping stone?" Li Shou still refused to admit defeat. He couldn't bear to lose his face.
"You mean academy?" Han Du laughed.
After a moment, he smiled enough before replying: "Academy students do not participate in the imperial examination to become officials, they just want to prove that what they have learned over the years is not worse than others."
"Otherwise, not more than half of the Jinshi in the academy would simply give up becoming officials and choose to teach in the academy."
"Do you know why they chose to be a teacher in the academy?"
Han Du asked Li Shou with a smile, full of pride in his heart.
"Humph..." Li Shou mocked with disdain, "The salary of the gentlemen in your academy is higher than that of the sixth-rank officials. I heard that they are provided with independent houses. Of course they would rather stay in the academy. in."
The capital is so big that it’s not easy to live there. This problem has gradually emerged over the years, and is becoming more and more recognized by more people.
Naturally, the price of renting a house in Beijing has also skyrocketed, getting higher and higher.
At first, the conditions of the houses provided by the academy were not superior, at least not as good as the monthly salary of more than ten thousand yuan. But in recent years, although the salary gap is still not close, the gap has been continuously narrowing, forcing gentlemen to take this issue more seriously.
Han Du did not refute, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, these conditions are indeed part of the reason, but they are not the main reason."
"What really makes them choose to stay in the academy instead of becoming an official is that they can teach in the academy while continuing to study knowledge. Are you surprised that the academy has produced so many achievements and created so many unprecedented things in these years? Is it possible to pick up the wisdom of the predecessors?"
"Wrong! Whether it's a steam engine or other things, they were all invented and created from scratch by the gentlemen of the academy."
"This is the study of knowledge, this is the inheritance of unique knowledge for the saints, this is the true prosperity of Ming Dynasty's literary style!!!"
"And what do you think is the peak of literary style? Is it that Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years and then never touched the Four Books and Five Classics again after becoming an official?"
Han Du's voice was not loud, but to Li Shou it sounded like thunder exploding in his mind. His body trembled and he couldn't help but take two steps back and looked at Han Du with a horrified face.
Seeing that Li Shou was completely vulnerable in front of his uncle, Zhu Yunye let out a long breath. It would be nice to decide the winner, so he wouldn't have to worry about how to persuade the two of them.
"Even...even if the academy's literary style is at its peak, then you should not set up rewards. Mixing the innocence of the academy with the smell of copper, wouldn't it bring shame to the reputation of the academy?" Li Shou pointed at Han Du and cursed angrily. , just like Han Du ruined the best wish in his heart.
