Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Chapter 364 Future Planning

"What is being taught?"

After Ying Zheng repeated it, he had roughly figured out what it meant.

"What Mr. Tang is referring to, could it be, the various schools of thought from the Hundred Schools of Thought period?"

Indeed—

Tang Yu nodded and then explained.

"But it is not the school of thought of the Hundred Schools of Thought, but the entire stream of knowledge in the world."

"Mr. Tang, what is the meaning of this?"

Ying Zheng was somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, people in this era should be like this.

If you are a Confucian, you should study Confucian knowledge; if you are a Legalist, you should study Legalist knowledge.

But why would Mr. Tang claim to be the master of all knowledge in the world?

What is it that I don't know about?

Ying Zheng was somewhat puzzled, and Tang Yu sighed and said.

"Brother Zheng, I wanted to ask you something."

"Have you had your dreams since you were a child, have had your current thoughts, and know what you are truly interested in and good at?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng naturally shook his head.

"That's not the case. When I was young, although my mother always told me that I might become the king of Qin in the future."

"But I was living a miserable life back then, and I didn't dare to think about such things at all, and I didn't dare to think about now."

"It wasn't until I was a little older, around four or five years old, when I finally had the opportunity to actually get to this position, that I truly understood what I was thinking."

"That's it!"

Tang Yu nodded upon hearing this, and then began to explain seriously.

"If the knowledge that those people were exposed to in their childhood was a fixed set of the Hundred Schools of Thought."

"That means that no matter what they are good at in the future, no matter where their talents lie."

"They must continue to follow the schools of thought of the Hundred Schools of Thought that they are currently studying."

"Even if a Legalist genius who studies Confucianism has a high talent for Legalism, he can only study Confucianism in the future."

"A military strategist who is good at killing and waging war may become a famous minister in times of peace, but he can only be a general for his entire life."

"Does Your Majesty truly consider this situation reasonable?"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and said to Tang Yu.

"If that's the case, then I understand."

Ying Zheng was no fool, of course. He was just curious about what Tang Yu meant.

Now he roughly understands what it means.

"But what does Mr. Tang mean by all the knowledge in the world?"

"Is it really possible to learn this?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu looked at Ying Zheng in surprise, and then said.

"Does Your Majesty think you can finish learning it all?"

Ying Zheng fell into deep thought, and then slowly spoke.

“Sages measure mountains and rivers with their own footsteps, and the world is so vast that it may contain all sorts of wonders. I think, perhaps…”

"Brother Zheng! There's so much to learn!"

Tang Yu interrupted Ying Zheng's statement.

He shattered Ying Zheng's last shred of illusion, even though the other party still believed there were some extraordinary people and events.

"There is no end to learning, Your Majesty."

Tang Yu repeated himself, and finally explained seriously.

"That's why I have them learn a lot of basic knowledge and common sense when they are young."

"When they truly demonstrate their talent in a certain area in the future and want to learn in that area."

"Only then will they truly master and develop in that area; each person only needs to master a little bit!"

"The countless talents of the Qin Dynasty, like countless individual points, can form a whole!"

"Teaching according to aptitude!"

And so, with Ying Zheng looking completely bewildered, Tang Yu finalized the details of the Great Qin Academy.

Both sides have finalized the remaining issues regarding the construction and enrollment of Daqin Academy.

Ying Zheng serves as the principal of the Great Qin Academy, while Tang Yu serves as the director of teaching.

As for the teachers involved...

Tang Yu discovered that his group of Mohist disciples were perfectly suited to be physics and math teachers.

As for the other subjects, surely there are a few people among the various schools of thought who could do it?

As for Chinese language... that silly boy Fusu is perfect for training his own team!

After finalizing the details of the Qin Academy, Ying Zheng felt that the pressure in his heart had been greatly reduced.

Although Tang Yu extended his life by nearly fifty years, he still felt that the time was not enough.

The world was so vast that even Ying Zheng dared not look at it.

Ever since Tang Yu showed him a world map and he saw how insignificant the entire Qin Dynasty was on the world stage.

Ying Zheng was initially frustrated, but then his ambitions grew.

But when he thought of what Mr. Tang had said—that no one would be able to unify the world more than two thousand years from now—he backed down.

But today, his boundless fighting spirit and ambition have been rekindled.

Others can't do it because they're not me!

Since I was able to unify the six warring states and quell the chaos of the past six hundred years.

Why can't we unify the entire Earth?

Originally, he had set a standard for unifying the written language and the gauge of carts.

Ying Zheng, however, was very satisfied, wishing the whole world were like this.

Regardless of your nationality, you need to be able to write the Qin Dynasty's Small Seal script.

Tools needed to be manufactured according to Qin's standards.

They used the Qin language to communicate and conduct daily activities.

Apart from the different place names, everything else is the same.

The goal was to gain their complete acceptance of the Qin state.

After standardizing the written language, they forgot their homeland!

Now that carts are standardized, let us not waste this vast future!

This is what Ying Zheng truly hoped for.

At this moment, he was following the information Tang Yu had given him about the Great Qin Academy.

But a raging fire ignited in my heart.

He saw the brilliance of individualized instruction, something he had never understood before.

But now, looking at the future Mr. Tang described, he understood!

This is true individualized instruction.

If Xiang Yu were to become a Confucian scholar, he would certainly not be a good one.

He was born to be a general, but if he had been forced to become a Confucian scholar when he was young...

If we don't let him exercise or fight on horseback...

Perhaps he will never discover this talent in his entire life.

Therefore, don't decide a child's future for them when they are young; this is a lesson that Ying Zheng has now come to understand.

He wanted to know how many talented people would emerge in the Qin Dynasty if he taught them according to their individual aptitudes.

After the two sides finished discussing this matter, they were leisurely drinking tea when Ying Zheng suddenly spoke up.

"Mr. Tang, do you know Xiao He?"

"Xiao He?"

"what happened?"

When Tang Yu heard Ying Zheng suddenly mention Xiao He, he thought Xiao He had done something wrong, but then he saw Ying Zheng looking at him with admiration.

“Mr. Tang, Xiao He was indeed a great talent.”

"He is also a person who cares about the world. In the past few days, his figure has been seen running around in various parts of our Qin state."

"Xiao He also played a significant role in the assistance plan that Mr. Tang formulated this time."
