Shi Jun asked her: "Liniang, do you know what is the most precious thing about you?"
Jiang Xing recalled what the teacher said when he first met him, and said thoughtfully: "Resistance?"
"No," Shi Yun shook his head: "It is a kind of spirit, and my preset answer is a kind of knowledge."
Jiang Xing hesitated for a moment, then said seriously: "But everything that disciple knows has already been..."
Shi Jun said: "But as far as I know, there is no such thing."
Jiang Xing fell into a daze.
Shi Yun said: "If we are three people, we must have a teacher. I will choose the good ones and follow them, and I will change the bad ones."
After saying that, he stood up, took a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" from the bookshelf behind him and handed it to her. Without giving Jiang Xing a chance to ask questions, he waved to her: "Go back, you want the answer." , right up here!”
Jiang Xing's feet wandered out of the door. After returning, he sat alone at the desk, staring at the Analects of Confucius in a daze.
She had read this book a long time ago and even memorized it by heart.
How could the answer be in ?
The teacher also asked about the most precious thing in her body...
Jiang Xing accidentally opened the Analects of Confucius and read it again with concentration from beginning to end until she reached the thirteenth chapter of Zilu. Her eyes suddenly froze.
The son is suitable for guarding, and Ran has servants.
The Master said: "You are a common man!"
Ran You said, "Since we are already common people, why should we add anything to it?"
Said: "Rich."
He said: "If you are already rich, how can you add more?"
Said: "Teach him."
Like a thunderbolt from the blue, exploding in his mind, Jiang Xing finally realized Shi Jun's unfinished meaning!
The meaning of this passage is actually very simple.
When Confucius went to Weiguo, Ran You drove him.
Confucius said with emotion: "There are so many people who defend the country."
Ran You asked: "The population is already large, what should we do next?"
Confucius answered him: "To make the people rich."
Ran You asked: "What will the people do after they become rich?"
Confucius said: "Educate them."
educate!
This is the answer Confucius gave to Ran You, and it is also the answer the teacher gave himself.
Jiang Xing suddenly became enlightened!
How could you not have thought of that? !
The teacher's hint is actually very obvious - is he a stupid person?
Jiang Xing replied: No.
So, what have teachers been doing all these years?
Select the most talented people from all over the world and teach them!
The most precious spirit in Jiang Xing is resistance, and the most precious knowledge in her is not actually how to make cement or glass, but basic education!
She knows that the basic education system took many years to create. She is a direct beneficiary of this education system and will be the spark that ignites this basic education system!
The power of an individual is limited. How much can she do alone, and how much change can she bring to the world?
But if she compiles the educational process she has received from childhood to adulthood into a book to educate others, even if she cannot take root and sprout in this land right away, she has still planted the seeds, and in time , will surely flourish and bear fruit!
Jiang Xing patted his forehead in annoyance: "I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of that!"
The knowledge she has been using, or the knowledge she has been using, is really too advanced for this world, just like in 221 BC, a ship from 3000 years ago The spaceship came to Daqin and left behind an aircraft carrier construction manual.
is that useful?
Really useful!
But can people in the Qin Dynasty use it?
cannot!
I can’t even understand it, how can I use it? !
The things that Jiang Xing has been doing have indeed brought positive changes to the world, but for the modern industrial system and social construction, they are like a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. It is impossible to form a well-organized social system!
But what she cannot do alone, she can change more people through education, ignite more torches, and do it under the impetus of the general trend of the times!
Jiang Xing finally found the path he really wanted to take.
…
In the winter of this year, Sikong Gengzhang passed away.
After hearing the news, Shi Jun was silent at first, and then laughed: "After fighting for a lifetime, I won the last round."
He also wanted to go to Geng's house in person to pay homage.
The disciples did not dissuade him, even though they all knew that Shi Yun was not in good health recently, they just silently took out the cloak for him to go out and ordered people to prepare the car.
When going back, the rest of Shi Jun's disciples were riding horses. Only Jiang Xing and his teacher were riding in the carriage. The master and apprentice sat in silence in the carriage. Suddenly, they heard Shi Jun say: "Madam is leaving, Pei Yuan is leaving." Now that Geng is gone, I am the only one left in our generation..."
Pei Yuan is Taifu Pei.
Six months after Jiang Xing and Pei Renfang got married, the old man died in his sleep.
At this time, Jiang Xing was frightened when he heard the teacher talk about these deceased people: "Teacher, please take care of yourself."
Shi Yun smiled and said: "Death and life are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in heaven. How can a person be the master of this kind of thing?"
The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he said calmly: "It's probably been the past two years."
Jiang Xing felt very uneasy after hearing this, and discussed with his senior brothers to take turns accompanying Shi Yun in Shi Mansion.
And because I was recently compiling a set of enlightenment textbooks that were in line with the characteristics of the times, and did not need to work in the manor all the time, I simply moved my office to Shi's Mansion, occupying Shi Jun's study in a grand manner.
Even though he had some premonition, Shi Yun still took it easy. When the weather was nice, he would walk around the yard for a few times, and sometimes go back to the pond to go fishing. Occasionally, he would If I am interested, I will also go to the study room and look through the set of teaching materials compiled by Jiang Xingzheng, thoughtfully.
After several months of this, it was finally time to say goodbye.
Shi Jun's sons had returned home early and were staying at their father's bedside. Shi Jun had divided their homes for them when Mrs. He just passed away. At this time, he gave them a few warnings. sentence, and spoke to several disciples who entered the room in turn.
In the end, Jiang Xing was left alone.
"I've always wanted to ask, but I didn't dare to ask. Now, I can finally say it."
He said intermittently: "Liniang, what is the world like in which you live? The sage said that if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die at night. I am really curious..."
Jiang Xing held the teacher's skinny but still warm hand and said with tears: "It was a very good era. There were no emperors, no slaves, all children could study, and no one could Will starve to death..."
Shi Yun was fascinated by what he heard. After a long time, he finally smiled and said, "It sounds really good."
He rolled his eyes, looked at the youngest disciple, and said slowly: "It's hard to come to a world like ours, isn't it?"
Jiang Xing burst into tears and held his hand, unable to say anything.
Shi Jun gasped for a while and continued: "Liniang, I want to thank you, not only for me, but also for the world. I am really happy to have you as my disciple..."
After saying this, he trembled his eyelashes a few times tiredly, and then closed his eyes.
Jiang Xing lay on the bed and cried bitterly.
…
After handling Shi Yun's funeral, Jiang Xing lost half of his energy and spirit.
I am bored in my room alone, not wanting to go out, and have no intention of socializing.
Fang Niang was a little worried and asked Pei Renfang quietly: "Do you want to go and persuade Sister Liniang?"
Pei Renfang said: "No, let her calm down for a few days."
It was like this for three or four days before he went in with half of the textbooks that Jiang Xing had compiled. He rolled up the pile of manuscripts in his hand and patted her face: "Are you still writing?"
Jiang Xing sat up, rubbed his face vigorously, and said viciously: "Write!"
…
How many storms and twists and turns do people have to go through in their lifetime?
Jiang Xing didn't know, nor had he counted them.
After the death of the old teacher, Senior Brother Sun, who was once as close to her as a brother and sister, learned that she had put most of her energy into compiling that set of introductory textbooks for children, and almost turned against her: "Great China, how could it be that Do we still want to go back to the time when we drank blood like we were wearing hair? In order to inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, there are many unique and unique books that are difficult to pass down. Liniang, you actually devote all your energy to this kind of thing?!"
He threw the book compiled by Jiang Xing to the ground and walked away.
Jiang Xing picked it up silently.
What she wants to do is to popularize culture and let more people understand. She feels that she is not wrong.
And what Senior Brother Sun is doing is sorting out the old canons of ancient sages, which are the crystallization of Chinese civilization, and he is not wrong.
There is so much black and white in the world.
When the set of introductory textbooks was compiled, the emperor's brother-in-law was very considerate and included them in the library, but the specific implementation was not smooth.
When a scholar takes the imperial examination to become an official, the test is on the Four Books and Five Classics. Who has the time to read the Xianshu compiled by her?
The emperor's brother-in-law is determined to reform the imperial examination, but this is not something that can be accomplished overnight...
Empress Jiang took the initiative and opened a girls' school in Chang'an. Jiang Xing also wanted to choose one of them to inherit the mantle. After searching around, no one was willing.
Talent is not a woman's business.
Yes, there are so many things in the world that are just wishful thinking.
Jiang Xing squatted by the pool, hugging his knees with his hands, and remained silent.
Pei Renfang stood silently behind her, looked at her for a long time, and suddenly asked her: "Are you disappointed?"
