The book continues from the previous chapter.

Yin Tao and Sun Bao looked at each other coldly and argued.

As far as the current atmosphere is concerned, it can be said to be full of gunpowder.

Although Sun Bao has a bad temper, he is from a cultural background. Even if he wants to be sarcastic, he cannot be as unreasonable as a scoundrel.

Just listen to his polite words: "Principal Yin, if you don't like it, as far as these students under my command are concerned, their future is bright! Because they all follow the right path of study that has been constant throughout the ages. As long as it is enough If you work hard, you can get the fame and body you wish for, and then you can become an official and honor your ancestors. If you are successful, you may even become a very popular minister and become the prime minister. It can be said that your future is boundless!"

Then, he changed his voice and said: "Look at your students, what's the future? Haha, just by learning a few tricks and heresy, you feel that you have become a master. How ridiculous." Also? To put it bluntly, you are still among the 'workers' after all. According to the ranking of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, we scholars are the ones who are superior. Which one is higher and which one is lower? Can't you tell? My point of view is, Only the things left by our ancestors are the essence of Dacheng, as for the rest, they are all just unfashionable trails!"

This clear satire does not contain a single curse word, but every word is heartbreaking and every sentence is merciless.

However, how can Yin Tao be a fuel-efficient lamp?

She rolled her eyes with disdain, then licked her cherry and said with a smile: "Haha, you are just a bunch of extremely rotten stinkers, how dare you speak nonsense in front of my science and engineering science? I really want to know how confident you are. Where did it come from?”

After a pause, she raised her slender fingers and pointed at the things around her and said: "You frogs in the well, you'd better open your eyes and take a good look! Look, these houses, these roads, and the newly built majestic Xincheng, which one of these is the same, doesn’t it benefit from the science and technology of our science and engineering? Facts speak louder than words, I am the best in science and engineering! Hum, some people feel that they are capable just by learning a few words Taotian, isn’t this too arrogant? If you really advocate retrospection, why don’t you drill wood to make fire and tie ropes to remember things?”

"you……"

"What the hell are you! How dare you despise the supreme science even though I've given you the power. After I develop the hot air balloon, I'll do a flying test on you first so that you can see from a high place what will happen today. How high is it, how big is this land!”

"..."

Qi Yu listened and tasted it, and quickly understood the general outline of the matter.

In essence, this is a conflict of consciousness between our traditional Chinese concepts and new things. At the same time, it is also a collision of world views and values.

From a development perspective, this phenomenon is unavoidable. As long as it reaches a certain level, new things will inevitably

Traditional authority is challenged, and traditional concepts will inevitably reject new things.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the two conflict with each other. This is an inevitable law of development.

However, Qi Yu must properly handle the contradiction between the two, otherwise, there will be endless debates in the future, and it may even affect the overall development situation.

Thinking of this, Qi Yu took off the bamboo hat on his head and walked out of the crowd with his hands behind his back.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

"Ah... I'll see you, sir."

"Uh... the students have met the principal!"

As expected, Qi Yu's appearance immediately suppressed the out-of-control situation, and everything turned into silence, with no trace of anger at all.

That's pretty much it.

Seeing that he was so awesome, Qi Dalang silently gave himself a perfect score, and then he stroked his beard and said: "You are all experts here to discuss the truth, why don't you invite me?"

Old man?

Oh, I almost forgot, our Lord Qi is already in his thirties, so he is indeed qualified to call himself this.

He talks about the truth, but if you taste it carefully, he means something else.

Let's put it this way, this statement sounds like a complimentary affirmation, but in fact it is an insinuation. These students are neither fools nor fools, so how could they not hear it?

Therefore, everyone's faces turned red.

In fact, Qi Yu didn't have any other intention. He just wanted to kill someone first and make them all calm down, and then he could persuade them with reason and turn the hostility into friendship.

Seeing that everyone had become silent, he smiled and said: "Haha, since I happened to be here today, why not have a discussion with you in order to seek the truth of knowledge through investigation of things."

Everyone was confused, but they could only respond: "Yes!"

Qi Yu put away his smile and said seriously: "I have some opinions of my own regarding the debate between liberal arts and science that you are talking about. Do you want to hear it?"

"think!"

"Well, I will tell you my disdain."

"Please sir (principal) give me some advice..."

Qi Yu nodded and said loudly: "Gentlemen, whether traditional literature or modern science is higher or lower, this is actually a false proposition that is not suitable for comparison. It is like comparing chickens and ducks and asking which one is better? More delicious, how to answer? Therefore, different things cannot be directly compared, and it is easy to be unfair."

After a pause, he changed his voice and said: "However, if you really want to force a comparison, it is okay. After all, both of them belong to the category of knowledge. In fact, as to which one is higher and which one is lower, the answer is right next to you. It depends on whether you pay attention."

Around? where?

After hearing this, the students were all filled with questions and their faces were even more confused.

.

"I'm sorry for the student's stupidity, but please give me some advice from the principal..."

"Sir, please speak more clearly..."

"Okay!" Qi Yu said loudly while taking small steps: "I believe everyone has noticed that the construction of various facilities in Qiongzhou has largely benefited from the support of science and technology. For example, It is said that from giant ships and artillery to concrete houses, every link is full of the efforts of scientific and technological personnel. Facts have proved that science and technology is the driving force of development and progress, and it is the only magic weapon to get rid of poverty and backwardness. However, Where does science and technology come from? Natural sciences and engineering! So, without the support of science and engineering academics, Qiongzhou would not be able to achieve what it has today!"

The meaning of this statement is very obvious. In short, the role of science and engineering is unparalleled and is the backbone of development.

Almost as expected, after hearing such a conclusion, the students of the government school all felt sad, like wandering orphans abandoned by the world.

At this moment, Qi Yu's tone suddenly changed and he said with an passionate tone: "However, in terms of spiritual moral construction, the role of traditional culture is absolutely irreplaceable! The Tao of Confucius and Mencius is the core of our Chinese culture. The essence and core, it can make people correct their mind and body, understand the truth, understand the truth, and use it as the code of conduct for life. Even if you become an official in the future, you can rely on it to distinguish right from wrong and promote righteousness. This is very important!"

"To go into more detail, a good moral atmosphere can play an important role in supervising development. For example, last year's case of 'Ten Sons Not Saving Their Mother' and 'Foreign Andre's Ugly Face', for example, On these two matters, the literati's comments in the newspapers were sonorous and powerful, and they played a role in curbing the unhealthy trends in Qiongzhou. If these voices are lost, this society will fall into darkness, and human ethics will also decline. Then they were completely destroyed. This is the important role played by literati in development. How can it be indispensable?"

"oh……"

Seeing that everyone had understood, Qi Yu nodded and said in summary: "The material development of our Qiongzhou is naturally due to the advancement of science and technology, while the improvement of morality depends on the nourishment of our Chinese culture. . Between the two, no one can replace the other. Only by complementing each other can we benefit the world. If they are mutually exclusive, it will not only destroy cultural harmony, but also hinder the development of Qiongzhou."

"Students understand!"

"Junior has learned a lesson!"

Qi Yu smiled happily and said: "The allusion between Lian Po and Min Xiangru proves that if there is discord between generals and prime ministers, there will be hidden worries of causing disaster to Xiao Qiang, but if we are united, we can unite as one and be as powerful as gold."

The generals will be in harmony...

Hearing this, the students on both sides couldn't help but smile at each other, seemingly burying the hatchet.
