Chapter 024 I'm a Pathfinder
"Forget every word you wrote, if you don't want to feed the sharks," Sun Yuetang took the notebook, stuffed it into the small leather bag he carried with him, and patted it hard. He looked very satisfied, and even the tone of intimidating his subordinates became less severe.¥f,.
"Subordinate understands" No matter whether the tone is harsh or not, no one will think that Sun Yuetang is joking at this time. Although he looks like an old man who is a little kind and has a little bit of a relationship, he is extremely cruel in his bones. Any successor trained by Cixi will not be attracted by his Dharma if he has a little kindness, and he will not get into this position.
Sun Yuetang went to find the merchants on the dock to mutter, but Hong Tao didn't see it. Even if he saw it, he would pretend that he didn't see it. At this time, he was accompanied by Wen Nan and Huang Sha and greeted a group of great scholars of the Song Dynasty. Fortunately, he was the emperor and did not need to have any etiquette requirements. He just nodded, smiled, and said that it would be better to lean on it for a long time. If he could hug his fists, it would be considered a very etiquette.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to deal with these people, even with Wen Nan's help, there would be no chance. These people have never seen many of the various etiquettes, even ancient etiquettes, and they don't know how to return the gifts. Once they are at a loss, these old guys will look down on you from the bottom of their hearts, and they will not listen to you and say anything else again, and they will not believe it even if you say it.
However, Hong Tao did not show weakness. It was difficult for him to deal with these great Song literati. Similarly, it was not easy for these great Song literati to deal with foreign scholars such as Sayed. The most hateful thing is that Hong Tao did not allow the general translator to perform on-site translation, but instead served as the translator. This practice not only did not arouse the suspicion of the great Song literati, but instead made them feel extremely respected. No matter what Hong Tao said in a while, they all planned to give this emperor who knew how to lower his posture and respect scholars a little bit of face, and he would also have to listen to some words.
But if these people knew Hong Tao’s plans and what he was doing, they would definitely spit their saliva on Hong Tao’s face, regardless of whether he was the emperor or not. Because the emperor was too dirty, too sinister and too shameless in his heart. As an emperor, he was actually using the convenient opportunity of translation to create conflicts for both sides. Although these foreign scholars had been in the Song Dynasty for a while and could almost speak a little Chinese, it was still easy to make them misunderstand certain words and sentences. They just needed to change the order of arrangement or even a pause.
So under Hong Tao's secret operation, these foreign scholars quickly became full of dissatisfaction and anger. They believed that these great Song literati were too arrogant and were no longer just ignorant on many academic issues. It would be no exaggeration to say that they were dissatisfied with one bottle and half a bottle. In view of this situation, eight foreign scholars led by Sayed have regarded this seminar as a battlefield for their reputation and fighting for the truth. They must fight with these great Song colleagues to the end and resolutely defend their honor.
"Your Majesty, you don't seem to be very rigorous in terms of word use." The other eight foreign scholars must have thought so, but Sayed, a guy with very talented language, not only did not fall for it, but seemed to have heard something from Hong Tao's words, and then he whispered to Hong Tao in Latin.
"Wow, Sayed, you all know the word "rigorous" is not the word of the Song Dynasty. You learned it from the officers on the ship, okay? You secretly do intelligence work among my officers while I am away. Do you know what this is called in the Song Dynasty? It is called "Xiaozhu" and you will be executed." Hong Tao was not afraid that Sayed would hear it. With his current identity, it would be fine if anyone heard it. Does anyone dare to accuse himself of being sowed and disagreeing in person or not? Do you want to leave this island?
"It's not that I'm going to do a detailed work, but they came to chat with me on their own initiative. Most of His Majesty's officers are very knowledgeable and very learning-friendly. I want to know how His Majesty chose them." Sayed also traveled south and north, and had seen more than one emperor and king, and was more comfortable dealing with such big scenes than Hong Tao. He could greet the scholars of the Song Dynasty in a regular manner, and chat with Hong Tao in Latin, without delaying them.
"There is no deliberate choice, it's just that the educational concepts are different. The teaching content in our country's schools has not been much since elementary school. They mainly play, but not play around, but let them understand some truths through playing. For example, collectivism, abiding by law, freedom of thought, and the pursuit of happiness and ideals. After entering middle school, there will be more basic courses, such as mathematics, geometry, physics, geography, foreign languages, etc. The purpose is not to make them such scholars, but to make them have the ability to learn more, encourage them to read more books, and develop in the direction they like."
"It is easy to enter Imperial University. You only need to choose two courses yourself and pass the exam. It is easier to graduate from university. You only need to learn the two courses you choose deeper, understand them deeply, and you can graduate by passing the exam. This method is only applicable to wealthy countries, such as my country. I hope that every child in the Empire has the opportunity to go to college and will try to create a relatively equal competitive environment for them, so that more people with different focus can have the opportunity to show."
"If you have more contact with graduates from navigation schools, you will find that many of them are extremely subjective. Some children are very good at mathematics and physics, but it is difficult to write something. At most, they can be understood by others. The literary talent and content are terrible, and they are not as good as articles by ten-year-old children in the Song Dynasty. Some children are more proficient in astronomy and geography, and can speak several languages, understand the environment of many countries and are willing to study these problems. However, if they are asked to calculate the stress problems of a set of pulleys, it may not be able to calculate the result in half a year. This result is not their choice, but I intentionally do it." Sayed's problem is very big, involving educational methods, educational concepts and even the inner character of the country. There is no end to one sentence or two. Fortunately, half of the people left to meet with these scholars in the Song Dynasty have not been greeted, so you can chat slowly.
"Is it not good to make them more knowledgeable?" Said could not understand Hong Tao's idea. Although he mainly studied philosophy issues, he had a wide range of knowledge, including medicine, mathematics, history, geography and even simple chemistry. Therefore, he could not imagine how a person's legs were particularly long and one leg was particularly short, so he could not imagine how to walk faster than others.
"I think a person's life is limited, and everyone's brain development is different. It is impossible for everyone to have a mind like you, nor can everyone have a condition like you. Instead of dabbling in countless lives, reading everything, and not proficient in anything, it is better to find something you like and do it to the extreme."
"Whether it is studying or working, being able to do what you like is the greatest motivation and efficiency will be very high. You will gradually discover that my empire is a large group, advocating mutual balance, restraining and making up for each other. In this country, the birth of geniuses is allowed, but more of it is to cooperate with each other. Everyone does not pursue individual perfection, they only need to give full play to their advantages, and the remaining shortcomings will be compensated by others."
"The Jinhe Kingdom and the Song Dynasty are exactly the opposite. They are two different ideas. Which one is better and which one is worse cannot be judged in a short period of time. Time must be measured slowly. You and I may not see the length of time." In fact, the educational ideas of a country are the harbingers of the future of this country. If you want to educate the people into, the country will become a country of personality. The character of the country is consistent with the character of the people.
"Your Majesty said it very reasonably, but no one has ever tried this kind of thing. Isn't your Majesty afraid of failure?" Sayed said this sentence in a very subtle and polite way. If you put it bluntly, he is asking Hong Tao: Do you have the responsibility to have so many people in a country? You tell me that you are trying to play, and you don't know the result.
"Haha, Lao Sai, you have learned bad things and are no longer the pure scholar who said whatever you think. I don't like this very much. You should ask from another perspective, which can better highlight your unique brain. You should say that Your Majesty is the pioneer of human development, leading the people of Jinhe Kingdom to take a path that no one has ever taken before. Once this path is successful, it will leave a rich legacy for the entire mankind."
"Remember, as a scholar, you must have independent and radical ideas, be calm, rigorous and meticulous in research, but the pathfinder must have pioneering spirit. If everyone follows the path of his predecessors, there will be no Christian countries, Arab countries, Southeast Asia and East Asia so many countries. All of us should be naked, chasing wild animals in the jungle with branches and stones, and we should not even have fire."
"Exploring new fields is not an unreasonable adventure. At least my country, my philosophy is now successful. This model will last for decades. Are you right?" Before the speech was started, Hong Tao warmed up with Sayed first. The two organs of the mouth and the brain are more flexible. Through these few minutes of activities, Hong Tao felt that he had to say a lot. The speech in a while is no longer difficult. Maybe he can't finish it in a day, and he has to take care of a few more meals.
Looking at the dark heads in front of him, Hong Tao had a smile on his face, but he was bleeding in his heart. These people had to eat their own food and couldn't fool them with noodles. Fortunately, there were maritime merchants donating money, otherwise even if they rubbed their hands, they wouldn't be able to help but throw money out like this.
