"Teacher, where is Yuzhen? I haven't seen her for a long time. What is she busy with every day? I didn't see her last time I came here."
"Humph, you still have the nerve to say that Yuzhen used to be so well-behaved, but since I met you, she has become more and more wild." Wei Yuan said angrily. Although he said this, he still felt very relieved in his heart that he was such a girl.
, it turned out that she was raised like a boy, otherwise she would not have been allowed to learn so much Western knowledge.
"How can an open-minded father like you raise a daughter with little feet?" Dong Shuheng complained in his heart. Without Wei Yuan's consent, Wei Yuzhen would not have been able to do things.
"Forget it, let's not talk about you. It's entirely your responsibility for Yuzhen to be like this now. You have to be responsible for it." Lao Wei was actually worried that his daughter would really be unable to marry like this in the future.
You must know that in this era, women still have to abide by the three obediences and the four virtues, and people like Wei Yuzhen who show up in public are still an outlier. However, it seems that Dong Shuheng doesn't care about this, but is happy to see the results.
"Master, don't worry, junior sister's life-long affairs will be taken care of by this boy." Dong Shuheng said with a smile.
"Humph, go away. Yuzhen is taking classes at the School of Liberal Arts. Regarding the visiting group, I will carefully determine the candidates. Our teachers here really need to go out and broaden their horizons. Otherwise, some people will always remain a frog in the well and be arrogant."
…
Dong Shuheng was wearing a student's gown when he arrived at school today. Considering his age, he was no different from the students in the academy.
The teaching building of the School of Liberal Arts is in the Chinese architectural style, with carved railings and jade walls. It is very simple. Because it was just built not long ago, you can still smell the smell of tung oil and the fragrance of wood.
However, the classroom windows are all made of transparent glass, and the insides are painted white, which can increase the brightness of the classroom. Sealed gas lamps are embedded in the walls of the classroom, so that students can attend classes normally even on cloudy days or at night.
Dong Shuheng’s opinion was added to the layout of the classroom. The large classroom was in the shape of a stepped semicircle, which could accommodate more students. All classrooms had front and rear doors. In Dong Shuheng’s impression, classrooms in later generations all had front and rear doors.
The front door is for teachers, and the back door... um... seems to be convenient for students who are late to sneak into the classroom...
Wei Yuzhen's class is an elective course, and it is a very popular elective course. Therefore, it is taught in a large classroom.
Dong Shuheng also encountered such a situation when he was studying in college in his previous life. A certain female teacher was kind and approachable, and a certain teacher's final exam was more relaxed. His class would become popular during electives. If you want to
The choice depends on your own luck.
I didn't expect it to be like this in this era.
Dong Shuheng pretended to be holding a pen and paper and sneaked into the classroom through the back door.
It was with great difficulty that I found a seat in the back row.
"Students, we have talked about the characteristics of newspapers, so let's talk about it, is the imperial newspaper Di Bao considered a newspaper?"
Wei Yuzhen wore a neutral gown, stood in front of the blackboard with a lesson plan, and asked questions to the classmates in the classroom.
This issue is still a bit sensitive in the Qing Dynasty, and places like Huaihai Academy dare to discuss it. If it were in other academies, someone might report it to the official.
The classroom instantly became lively. Everyone wanted to show off in front of the beautiful teacher, so they all boasted.
"I think forget it!" A fat young student stood up and said, "The imperial newspaper is all about the latest happenings in the Qing Dynasty, and it is for the government across the country. This should be considered a newspaper."
Immediately, a student stood up and objected: "The imperial newspaper is not public. It can only be passed around the government at all levels. It is just an official document that is circulated between superiors and subordinates."
…
Only then did Wei Yuzhen see Dong Shuheng, who was sitting in the back row, and smiled. This smile made all the students who saw it feel that the teacher was smiling at her. The students listening to the class below were cheered up for a while.
She walked up to Dong Shuheng and said, "Student, what do you think of this problem?"
Everyone followed the teacher's gaze and saw a strange classmate coming from the back row.
"Damn, I must have skipped classes from other classes to come and sit in. There's really no limit." Some students complained in their hearts, without reflecting at all on their previous motivations for choosing courses.
The moment Wei Yuzhen walked up to him and talked to him, Dong Shuheng instantly felt countless murderous intentions coming towards him in the classroom, which made his hair stand on end.
"Uh... Teacher Wei, you just made it very clear that newspapers must be truthful and open."
"Then let's take a look at the imperial newspapers in recent years. First of all, many of the contents in them are false. They are fake articles used by the imperial court to whitewash the peace. The imperial newspapers we have seen are all about the imperial court's great victory, but
Why do the Taiping Army still occupy so much territory? The imperial court newspaper even said that it is a kingdom of heaven, but why do foreigners still establish concessions on our land to show off their power? Why did our Hong Kong Island cede to foreigners? This is a kingdom of heaven.
Is this what the country should do? Why during the Han Dynasty could we still shout "Anyone who offends our powerful Han will be punished no matter how far away"? Why during the Tang Dynasty our army was still able to gallop in the Western Regions? Now in Nanyang, Chinese compatriots are often massacred
, was there any report in the imperial newspaper? Did the Russians massacre our border residents in the north, was there any report in the imperial newspaper? No, none of this was reported, but they were indeed news about what happened."
As soon as these words came out, applause burst out in the classroom. Among the students there were young people sent from Nanyang. They had a deep understanding of Dong Shuheng's words.
Of course, some students criticized this new classmate for being sensational and not caring about the court's face.
Just as everyone was applauding Dong Shuheng's heroic words, a discordant voice sounded.
"This classmate, what you say is biased. Aren't you afraid that the court will punish you for the crime of disrespect?" This is a student from Anhui. After becoming an official, he still has the loyalty to the emperor in his heart.
Old ideas.
"Haha... Is there anyone who dares to revive the Literary Prison in our Huaihai Academy? Is it because the bayonets of our Huaihai Academy are not sharp enough?" Dong Shuheng said decisively. The imposing manner of the superior made the tit-for-tat student feel his legs
Soft.
The students in the classroom applauded again.
Dong Shuheng just discovered today that the students in the academy may not necessarily be of the same mind as Huai Haijun.
It's no wonder that scholars have been brainwashed by the Manchus for hundreds of years, and their minds are filled with orthodox Manchu thoughts. It's impossible to change them all at once.
It seems that political thought classes will be added to the academy. How to add this class will have to be discussed with Lao Wei.
A journalism class reached a climax because of a small speech given by Dong Shuheng. With Dong Shuheng as an example, other students dared to speak boldly.
In the past, I only dared to complain about the shortcomings of the imperial court in my heart, but now I can tell it in public, which makes some students feel unprecedented joy.
Perhaps students can be indoctrinated in this way of ideological collision. In fact, scholars are the most receptive group of people to accept revolutionary ideas.
Dong Shuheng remembered the biography of Napoleon he had just read. Napoleon first came to power by supporting the revolution and opposing the monarchy, which stimulated France's potential and allowed France to rise in one fell swoop.
Dong Shuheng is not afraid of people's ideological emancipation, nor will he stop it. With the popularization of education, this process is natural. Ideological emancipation is inevitable for social development. It does not mean that you can stop it unless you do it behind closed doors, like the Qing court.
They also engage in policies that keep the people ignorant.
This is what the Qing court did, but they didn't know that times had changed, globalization had begun, and in a few years submarine cables would truly connect the world together.
At this time, if you work behind closed doors and do not think about development, what you sacrifice is the opportunity for development. If you miss the industrial revolution, you will only become the one who gets beaten.
So we can’t be an ostrich, we need to develop, we need to enlighten people’s wisdom, and we need to emancipate their minds. So what if we fail to become the emperor in the end?
Dong Shuheng felt that as long as he could lead China to rise, then he would be better than an emperor even if he did not claim the title of emperor. As for future generations, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. He has been successful in his life and given his children the best educational conditions. If they can no longer be successful,
Well, even giving them a hereditary emperor's position is not wasteful enough.
Therefore, in the end, Dong Shuheng decided to introduce some modern enlightenment ideological education and nationalist education into the academy. The introduction of these new ideas could at least shake the stubborn feudal ideas in the minds of these scholars.
Now Dong Shuheng has powerful armed forces in his hands, but he lacks ideological weapons.
I still need to consult Lao Wei on this matter. In terms of theoretical knowledge, Dong Shuheng is just a second-hand man. For professional matters, you should still ask professionals to handle it.
…
The class is over, but the students are still in the classroom, and no one has left. They seem to have lost their souls. Because just now, the goddess in their minds walked out of the classroom together with the person who wasted time in class. The two of them.
Come very close.
Many people are regretting that they clearly know these truths, so why can't they speak out boldly. Everyone knows that Jiangbei is the territory of Huai Haijun, and the dean is the teacher of President Huai Haijun. What else do they have to worry about, or is it in their own hearts
Old ideas are at work.
"Yuzhen, your lectures are very good, and all the questions are answered." Walking on campus, the two of them were like campus lovers in later generations.
This feeling made Dong Shuheng miss him very much.
"Don't praise me, otherwise I will be embarrassed next time I go on stage."
"Will Miss Wei still be shy? Then other women will not dare to meet people. Haha..."
"Hmph, how dare you make fun of me." As he spoke, his little hand formed a fist shape and stretched out to Dong Shuheng's arm.
"Hey...Teacher Wei, this is the campus, please pay attention to the image of the teacher!"
"You...hum..."
Wei Yuzhen snorted, quickened her pace and walked forward, throwing Dong Shuheng away.
Dong Shuheng quickly chased after him shamelessly.
"Oops! What a joke, Yuzhen. You are also an engineer of the human soul. You have to be steady. How can you get angry easily?" Dong Shuheng said with a smile.
