Watching Ma Chao paying homage, Liu Bei felt happy, but he still shook his head.
"The punishment is to expel you. Apart from this, is there any other punishment?"
"If you drive the students away, they will not be able to go home and will have no choice but to kill themselves at the gate of the state school!"
"You...Ma Chao, are you threatening me?"
Liu Bei turned around and looked at Ma Chao: "Three hundred thousand Xianbei people are nothing in front of me, let alone just a man? Do you think this will be useful to me?"
Ma Chao didn't dare to look up.
"Please don't expel the students! Please don't expel the students!"
Liu Bei was silent for a long time without speaking, during which Ma Chao kept kneeling on the ground.
Because he had been kneeling for a long time, or because he was trembling and uneasy, his body was shaking slightly, but he maintained this posture and did not dare to move.
Liu Bei felt that it was almost time.
So he let out a long sigh.
"I started the state school because I felt the gap in knowledge between Liangzhou people and people from inland prefectures and counties. Liangzhou people admired bravery, but only knew about bravery and no knowledge. They were just brave warriors and did not get respect. Easier to be taken advantage of by people with evil intentions.
I hope that brave people can study more, and I hope that smart people can practice more martial arts. It is not a certain requirement to be both civilized and martial, but everyone should work hard towards this aspect, instead of simply thinking that what they have learned is nothing. use. "
Ma Chao raised his head with some doubts and saw the sad look on Liu Bei's face.
"Your Majesty..."
“Some things may seem useless to you, but once you learn them, they will subtly change you forever.”
Liu Bei bent down, reached out to help Ma Chao up, and patted him on the shoulder: "Knowledge always serves people. People with knowledge can find opportunities to use knowledge no matter what the occasion, while those without knowledge can People can never find opportunities, knowledge is opportunities.”
Ma Chao was confused, as if he didn't understand.
"Shijun, I...can I continue...continue to study? I want to continue to study, I don't want to leave the state to study!"
"If you want to learn, you must first learn to respect knowledge, and more importantly, learn to respect the person who teaches you knowledge."
Liu Bei pointed to the door: "Go and get Teacher Ma Jie's forgiveness. Only if he allows you to stay can you stay. Otherwise, I don't care. Also, within three months, if you can't pass the formal quarterly examination, you can stay." If you have good grades, you have to leave, I don’t care.”
Ma Chao's face showed an expression of rejoicing that he had survived the disaster. He turned around and ran. After running a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned timidly to look at Liu Bei.
"Then... then Sir, do I still have a chance to learn how to fight with you?"
"If you want to learn to fight with me, you must first become my disciple. As for how to become my disciple, it is clearly stated in the state's school regulations. Just read it and do it, and you can become my disciple."
Liu Bei smiled and said slowly: "I didn't ask you to become my disciple. I will not allow anyone to become my disciple casually. It is you who became my disciple through hard work so that you can do it for yourself."
"I...I'll go see it right away!"
Ma Chao turned around and ran out quickly.
Liu Bei nodded slowly behind him.
If you have something you want to learn and have pursuits, then you can provide some advice and education, so that you won’t be hopeless.
There are problem students everywhere, and it is also a test for myself as a teacher.
During his time as a teacher, Liu Bei also gradually felt that being a teacher and being a leader are somewhat similar. It is even more interesting for him to find a balance between his two-in-one identity of teacher and leader. .
Judging from the general rules of this era, when the identities of teacher and leader are combined into one, the students and subordinates are the real hardcore members. If there is no such thing as rebellion, then those who betray the teacher and leader will be completely socialized. die.
Everyone understands this truth, so when making a choice, they will also take these identities into consideration and be cautious.
Therefore, Liu Bei attaches great importance to the students in Zhouxue. These future subordinates will be his first key help in changing the world.
Whether their performance is better than worse will largely determine the direction of his future reforms.
Fortunately, most people understand that it is a very lucky thing to be able to study in the state school, and it is also a very lucky thing to become Liu's disciple, so they treat themselves and the learning opportunities with great respect and value.
A considerable number of students are highly motivated in learning.
Even the "children" in the early grades, who are slightly older, can still show amazing self-discipline. They attach great importance to the tasks assigned by Liu Bei and try their best to obtain the status of Liu Bei's disciples through the provisions of the state school regulations. .
They are extremely eager to be Liu Bei's disciples. If they want to obtain this identity, they must obtain this identity through the cruel involution of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.
Of course, this is not too much, because Liu Bei clearly showed the way to obtain this status and made it open. In principle, everyone has equal opportunities.
This is a gift for those who have no way to advance.
Therefore, Liu Bei's teaching task is not difficult overall.
As a leader and a teacher in one, he has almost no thorns. Ma Chao is already the most rebellious, and the rest are either too young or know it well, so what he sees are almost all Guaiguai cards, cautious and prudent. student.
Among this group of good students, the most outstanding ones are Cao Ang, Cao Cao's eldest son, and Fazheng, a native of Fufeng.
Cao Ang is really a model of a standard three-good student, the kind who can wear a red scarf across generations.
I always sit in the front row during lectures, always have an upright posture, always ask the most questions, and always answer first, regardless of whether I know it or not, my attitude is really nothing to say.
Every teacher who teaches Cao Ang's class will have a very profound impact on Cao Ang, praising Cao Ang and saying that Cao Ang is a rare good student who will definitely achieve great things in the future.
As far as Liu Bei's feeling is concerned, that's almost the case.
Cao Ang is really serious, takes learning very seriously, treats teachers with great respect, and respects himself as a teacher like a father. His eyes are always staring directly at Liu Bei, blooming with longing.
He is the first disciple promised by Liu Bei personally. He does not need to take any examinations and has already obtained the status of a disciple. However, Cao Ang does not seem to be satisfied with this status.
His grades were also good. After entering the state school, he took several exams and ranked at the top every time. He almost never fell out of the top three in his kindergarten grade rankings.
Another outstanding child is Fazheng, the grandson of Fuzhen, a famous Fufeng scholar.
Because he had a good relationship with Meng Tuo's son Meng Da, he took advantage of this relationship to come to Liangzhou Prefecture to study as a disciple, and was accepted by Liu Bei.
He is that kind of typical smart kid. He is the same age as Ma Chao and is the unbeatable number one in the junior grade. Since entering school, whenever there is an exam, he has been the number one. No matter what he learns, he learns very fast and very fast. The good kind.
Not only the Confucian classics, but also mathematics, astronomy and geography, some common sense of physics and chemistry, and some principles of agriculture and engineering, etc. Dute Niang learned it quickly and well. All the teachers said that it was a rare thing. of genius.
So Liu Bei once specifically came to him to ask questions and set questions to test him. Then he answered all the questions successfully without any mistakes, and he was calm and calm throughout the whole process, with a poise beyond his years.
Liu Bei was very satisfied with him, so he encouraged him to keep up his efforts. As long as he can get the absolute first place in the year-end assessment, he can become Liu Bei's disciple and enter the real core group.
Fazheng said at the time that he came here just to become Liu Bei's disciple. He would never give in to this disciple's position. Anyone who wanted to compete with him would be defeated by his wise plan.
Liu Bei didn't dislike this upright display of superiority at all, so he laughed loudly, patted Fazheng on the shoulder, and encouraged him.
The remaining children are either young or have average qualifications. They are hard-working players and do not have so many talented and impressive performances, but this is normal.
Most of the successful people in this world are hard-working people who are lucky and come from a privileged background. Talent cannot be relied upon for success.
This is the cruelest and most real scene.
