Chapter 420 Warm Greetings to the Confucian Surnames
"There are a lot of people here today. The Royal Academy is almost too crowded for such a big place!"
"This time, not only Xianyang City and its surrounding areas, but also supporters from Hanzhong and Shangjun all came to cheer for His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Of course, Your Highness has given me the good life we have now, so we naturally have to support His Highness."
"After reading the Confucian jokes, you can go to Xianyang New City to buy some new gadgets, and make the children happy when you go home!"
"That's right, the New Year is coming soon, and this year I have a lot of money, so it's natural to celebrate this New Year!"
"According to what His Royal Highness said, I will spend more while the court collects more taxes. It is the best of both worlds, haha!"
"But having said that, I see that there are quite a few people who use the banner of Confucianism!"
"It's not that old man Kong's descendants paid for it, a group of stubborn guys!"
"Look at them all standing crookedly and weakly. I can hit a hundred of them!"
"Today is a debate competition, not a martial arts competition."
"I am a masculine man of the Qin Dynasty, and I am particular about both civil and military skills. This group of people have become idiots in reading and reading, and they can't lift a sword. They are useless!"
"That's right, the "Zhou Li" advocated by the old master Confucius also requires a gentleman to have six arts, such as horseback riding and archery. According to this standard, few Confucian students in the opposite group are qualified."
"In these days, those who are capable have already taken the civil and military examinations, and those who are more ordinary can also go to government schools to teach and educate people, or to study medicine to help the world.
No matter how bad it is, you can go to the workshop to find a job to support yourself.
Only those who have no ability and really can't find a way out will stay in Confucianism to dawdle!
To put it bluntly, it's not that they don't want to go out to do things, it's that no one wants them at all. "
"I feel ashamed for them when I look at it!"
"In such a good world, but you can't even support yourself, and you can make them work for tigers with a little money, it's really useless!"
"Yi, isn't this Li Xiaoji? When the Grand Canal recruited workers last time, I went to sign up with him, but this guy was eliminated on the spot because he couldn't count."
"At that time, I was still talking nonsense over there, but I couldn't stand it later and went to him to make gestures. Guess what the result is?"
"What result, say?"
"This guy doesn't know as many characters as I do, haha!"
"I'll go, is Confucianism so watery?"
"What do you think, in Confucianism, the only thing you read all day is those few books, and they are all memorized by rote, which is far worse than the study classes opened by the government!"
"Especially now that all the characters in newspapers use pinyin, which makes us learn characters very quickly. It's really much better than the Confucian guys!"
"So, we are all better than this guy?"
"Can it be worse than them?"
The onlookers chattered in unison, blushing directly at the Confucian students who held their heads high.
Because the current Confucianism is indeed worse than every year.
When Daqin had begun to prosper science and engineering disciplines and focused on practical applications, what Confucianism studied was still the words of sages, "The Analects of Confucius", "Book of Rites" and the like.
In particular, many old masters are afraid that the disciples of the church will starve to death of the master. Except for a few cronies, the rest of the disciples will hold back when teaching, and only ask the disciples to recite without explaining the main points, which is extremely inefficient.
The literary talent possessed by most Confucian students can indeed be regarded as a skill when most of the people in Great Qin were illiterate in the past.
However, today's Daqin free government schools are promoted in all prefectures and counties, and literacy classes go deep into the villages and towns, so that millions of people have a good foundation.
Compared with these so-called students who are day-to-day, they are really much better.
Nowadays, whether it is civil and military imperial examinations or workshop positions in Daqin, they are all based on practical applications. Ordinary Confucian students who have not even learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are really inferior to ordinary people when applying for jobs.
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding people, Kong Xun and others were even more enraged.
Back then, when they were great Confucian scholars, they were greeted by dignitaries wherever they went, and the gentry cheered, which can be said to be extremely honorable.
Even now, at least among the hundreds of thousands of Confucian disciples, they are still on top.
I thought that so many Confucian students were summoned today, and the momentum was so great that the whole Great Qin would definitely see the prestige of Confucianism and regain the glory that belongs to Confucianism.
Unexpectedly, before the debate even started, it was completely suppressed by a group of "fools and fools" who they didn't even look up to before.
"Unreasonable, unreasonable!"
"Is there any reason in this world?"
Kong Xun was so angry that his eyebrows stood on end, and he questioned angrily.
"Naturally, the world is reasonable, but you Confucians don't seem to be reasonable?"
"That's right, the development of Daqin is obvious to all. These courses are all the results of the revitalization of science and technology and commerce advocated by His Highness, which is exactly the opposite of your Confucian views, right?"
"Confucianism has been popular for so many years in the past, but it didn't seem to have any development. In the past few years without you, it has developed instead. Don't you know what it means?"
Someone with a good cause stood up, pointed at Kong Kui and laughed loudly:
"As far as your level is concerned, you'd be ashamed to call yourself a semi-saint, so you should hurry back and find a place to wake up, and don't come out to embarrass yourself!"
"Dead wood can't be carved!"
Kong Kui was so angry that his seven orifices were about to burst into smoke.
"The dead wood is yourself!"
A few old masters jumped their feet and wanted to curse people, but seeing the surrounding people who were several times more than the Confucian disciples, they could only retreat in resentment.
"Don't pay attention to this group of people, they must have been instigated by someone with a heart, and they are here to interfere with us."
"As long as I can win the debate, I will have the last laugh."
"What kind of science and technology is completely heresy, even if it can achieve a little achievement, what it brings is just such a group of uneducated villagers!"
"Only according to what Confucius said, the whole world learns the way of Confucianism and promotes the rituals of Zhou, can we follow in the footsteps of the ancient sages and enter the Datong society."
Kong Xun hurriedly stood up and stopped a group of old masters who were jumping and trying to hit people.
"It's Mr. Kong's best opinion!"
Only then did the group of Confucian old men stop their anger and regain their confidence.
The people watching were all speechless.
It's no wonder that Confucianism was so successful in the past. This thickness of skin is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
This group of people, don't plan to rely on the debate to come, do they?
