(pS: I really don’t know how to write about this process, but if a reader asks me to write about it, let’s just make do with it. If it doesn’t work, you can skip it. After all, it’s just a transition.)
However, when Li Dao actually started a debate with his students, he realized that he had made some miscalculations.
Li Dao looked at the people in Wenhua Academy on the stage and said slowly, "Since we want to argue, we must have a proposition."
"Of course, I won't bully you. I will just defend you from the topic you can best use."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other with angry expressions.
Because Li Dao's words clearly meant that he looked down on them at all.
Li Dao didn't pay attention to the faces of these people and came to the first person.
He said directly, "You come up with the questions."
Seeing Li Dao's casual expression, the first person's face turned red, and he seemed a little embarrassed and angry.
Finally, with the encouraging eyes of the others, he said, "Mr. Governor, my name is Cui Zhi, and I want to debate with you today about how to govern the people."
Li Dao nodded, "Well, Cui Zhi, please first tell me what you understand about how to govern the people."
Hearing this, Cui Zhi said bluntly, "I believe that to govern the people, we must first open up the people's wisdom, enlighten the people's hearts, and educate the people on national policies. Let me work hard and everyone will be like a dragon."
"Nowadays, the imperial court governs the people with a heavy emphasis on ignorant people and lowers the people's intelligence, so that 90% of the people are illiterate. This is the misfortune of the country."
"When I came to Tiannan today, I found that the same is true in Tiannan, even worse than the people in the imperial capital. They actually take pleasure in killing people. They don't have enough clothes to cover their bodies and don't respect their own virtues. They talk uncontrollably between people. There is absolutely no virtue at all.”
"So I believe that the way to govern the people is to first develop the people's wisdom. Unfortunately, most people nowadays only know how to flatter the powerful and do not know the people below them."
"Such a prosperous age is too hypocritical and fake."
After listening to Cui Zhi's words, before Li Dao could say anything, everyone from Wenhua Academy already clapped their hands and applauded.
Listening to these voices, Cui Zhi seemed to be very satisfied with his performance and said with confidence, "Your Excellency, my way of governing the people is reasonable."
Li Dao nodded, "Yes, it makes perfect sense. Every word makes sense."
Just when Cui Zhi was about to show his pride, Li Dao's voice came again.
"Unfortunately, although it is reasonable, it is a bit too fake and empty."
"What did you say?"
"I said it's too fake, too big, too empty."
Cui Zhi's face turned red, "Why do you say that to me?"
Li Dao smiled lightly and said, "Then can I ask you some basic questions?"
"Can."
"You talk about how to govern the people, but do you know what the people are?"
"civil?"
As soon as these words came out, Cui Zhi was stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Li Dao asked, "Do you know what the people want? Your way of governing the people has been recognized by them. How do you know that your ideas are the people's ideas?"
"Also, when you talk about opening up people's wisdom, how do you open it up?"
Cui Zhi was speechless when he heard the first two questions, but his eyes lit up when he heard the third one.
He immediately said, "To develop people's wisdom, it is natural to ask teachers to teach them how to read and write. If they know more, they will be wise."
Li Dao smiled and said bluntly, "Have you ever considered that the world is so big and how many teachers are needed for so many civilians?"
"How do you get people to agree with you who don't want to?"
"How can we take knowledge away from a wealthy family without stumbling upon you?"
"Also, do you understand that there is a very important prerequisite for everyone to be like a dragon as you said before?"
Cui Zhi asked subconsciously, "What's the premise?"
“If you want everyone to be like a dragon, you must first make everyone equal.”
Having said this, Li Dao raised his eyes and said, "Scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants, including emperors, must be equal. How can you do it? And what is the possibility of doing it? And do you dare to do it?"
"I......"
At this point, Cui Zhi was speechless.
He is not a fool, but a smart man.
From Li Dao's questions, he quickly discovered that his idea was wonderful, but it was also full of loopholes.
Finally, Cui Zhi said with blank eyes, "Is it possible that all my ideas are fake? It is impossible to realize them."
Hearing this, Li Daoyi raised his hand and patted Cui Zhi on the shoulder, "Actually, it is also possible."
"Um?"
Cui Zhi's eyes widened, "How to do it?"
Li said, "As long as you become the most powerful person in the world, everyone in this world will not let you do what you want."
Cui Zhi, "..."
Suddenly, Cui Zhi came to his senses and asked, "Mr. Governor, you haven't talked about your way of governing the people yet."
"mine?"
Li Dao said bluntly, "My way of governing the people is to keep them fed and clothed."
"So simple?"
"Easy?"
Cui Zhi was stunned.
Li Dao looked at the others and said slowly, "Every era has its own way of governing the people."
"A country is based on its people, and food is its first priority."
"When they have enough food and clothing, they will be able to govern themselves. If food and clothing are not enough, how can we govern the people?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Wenhua Academy fell silent.
Finally, Li Dao looked at Cui Zhi and said, "Compared to your unrealistic ideas, I feel that my ideas can still be realized with hard work."
After hearing this, Cui Zhi came to his senses, bowed and handed over his hands, and said bluntly, "I lost."
"Bah bang bang!"
On the side, Chu Zhao suddenly clapped his hands, "A country is people-oriented, and food is the first thing for the people."
"It is a great blessing for Southern Xinjiang to have Governor Li."
As he spoke, he looked at Cui Zhi and said, "I have long said that your ideas are just empty talk and do not consider reality. In fact, if you really put it into practice, the situation will be far more serious than what Governor Li said."
"Disciple has learned."
Hearing this, a flash of shame flashed across Cui Zhi's face, but then he seriously bowed to Chu Zhao and Li Dao again and handed over their hands.
"Next."
After passing Cui Zhi, Li Dao came to the second person.
Although Li Dao directly crushed Cui Zhi in the beginning, the remaining people were still not so easily convinced.
After all, they each have their own strengths, and coupled with personality issues, they are not so easily convinced.
"My Lord Governor, I want to debate the ways of farming with you."
This time, Li Dao was not as polite as the first time. He came up with full firepower.
The knowledge about agriculture in the previous life was directly thrown in the other person's face.
So much so that after it ended, the second person couldn't come back to his senses for a long time and was still doubting life.
Then came the third, fourth...
During this period, all kinds of miscellaneous things such as the way to implement weapons, the way to govern a country, the way to be a person, and even the tea ceremony came out.
But these things are all leftover from those who played in the previous life, and all kinds of theories are directly related to dimensionality reduction attacks.
As a result, after a series of arguments, everyone in Wenhua College fell into self-doubt.
There are only two questions in their minds at this moment.
who I am?
What am I going to do?
