When talking about the transformation of Min County, we have to talk about one place, and that is Huai'en Temple.
The obscene monks of Huai'en Temple were all burned to death in a fire.
The monk died, but the temple remained.
The things those monks did were not a pity for death, and the things they did were outraged by both humans and gods.
The monk is guilty, but the temple is not.
Things like praying to gods and worshiping Buddha are not entirely feudal superstitions, but more of a kind of belief.
Things have two sides. Feudal superstition is necessary, but people cannot lose their faith.
Faith is the bottom line of morality.
A person who sincerely prays to gods and worships Buddha will have a sense of reverence for gods and Buddhas. Then when he wants to do a bad thing, he will think in his heart whether he will be criticized by gods and Buddhas if he does this.
punishment, which forms an invisible moral binding force.
There is nothing wrong with Huai'en Temple itself, but it would be a pity to see it abandoned like this.
A place that occupies a large area and has existing buildings should be utilized.
This gave Pei Yun an idea and asked the Nanshan engineering team to transform Huai'en Temple.
Only the main hall for worshiping gods and Buddhas has been preserved, and other places have been used for new purposes after renovation.
This new purpose is - teaching.
Yes, under Pei Yun's planning, Huai'en Temple became Huai'en Academy.
In Da Qin, studying is the treatment of the upper class. Only by studying can you have a real chance to get ahead.
At the same time, the cost of studying is also high. Just buying books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones is not something that ordinary families can afford.
There is another saying that a person who is useless is a scholar.
If a scholar can stand out, it will be a matter of leaping over the dragon gate and honoring his ancestors.
But the road to study is like crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.
In the end, only a handful of people were able to pass.
Others will be hurt from the fall.
If a scholar cannot pass the path of studying, what can he do?
Let him do farm work? Do some craft work?
First of all, he doesn't have such ability.
Even if it is farm work or craft work, if you don't have the physical strength and have not learned it, you won't be able to do anything.
When a scholar puts down his books, he is powerless. He only knows how to read, but knows nothing else.
Another thing is that a scholar cherishes his status. After reading a book, he feels that he is a superior person, so he should be proud. In the eyes of a scholar, farm work and handicraft work are things that the inferior people do, and they have to bend down.
Doing these things is more uncomfortable than killing yourself.
To put it simply, I don’t have the ability, but my vision is still high.
Studying is a way out, but if you can't get out, it's a dead end.
Of course, this is limited to ordinary people. If you are wealthy, you will naturally not have such confusion.
Therefore, being a scholar is not something that ordinary people can afford, but if ordinary people want to get ahead, they can only study, and this has become a deadlock.
In fact, there is a way to solve this problem, and that is to reduce the cost of education.
But this is more of an idiot talking in his sleep.
If you want to reduce the cost of education, the first problem that must be solved is education resources.
Take Min County as an example. As a county town, it doesn't even have a school. If people want to study, they either go to a place with a school or hire a teacher to live in their home.
Reading is a big problem nowadays.
Is education important?
Pei Yun knows that education is important.
It's a very simple truth. Your own abilities are inseparable from education.
Today's Min County is developing by leaps and bounds, so education cannot be left behind.
It was Pei Yun's idea to open an academy.
As I have said, educational resources are fundamental. With the current momentum of Min County and Qi Xiangru's ability, it is not difficult to hire a gentleman to serve in the army.
But this is not the education in Pei Yun's heart.
Education is not about studying.
What’s more, you need to know that everyone is different and has their own characteristics.
Some people can't find a way out even if they study for a lifetime.
And some people have been prodigies in reading since they were young.
But there is another saying, if the east is not bright and the west is bright, my talents will be useful.
Although some people are not good at reading, they can shine in other places.
Another one.
In Pei Yun's view, studying is not just for those who prepare for the imperial examination. Studying can also include mathematics, physics, chemistry...
When people nowadays read, they read things that are memorized by rote.
It's easy, Pei Yun had to admit, if it were him who was doing this kind of reading, he wouldn't be able to learn anything.
On the contrary, Pei Yun is very capable in mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
This is also something that is not available now.
The current education is not what Pei Yun is good at, and the education that Pei Yun is good at is divorced from the current education.
It is said that they are useless scholars, but that refers to those who can only write and write.
If he had studied mathematics, physics and chemistry, would he still be afraid that it would be useless?
As long as you can read mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you are not afraid of traveling all over the world.
Pei Yun has his own ideas about education.
Pei Yun once said, "I don't think my request should be like this."
When he said this, Pei Yun's thought was that he was still too weak. If many things happened, he would not be able to control them.
This kind of feeling is something I don't like.
If you can control things by yourself, then you need to be strong enough.
The power here refers not only to an individual, but no matter how powerful an individual is, there is always a limit.
But what if, through my own hands, I could teach a group of powerful people.
Pei Yun knew that this idea was dangerous.
As far as I know how to teach others, even I can't predict how things will turn out.
So you have to think about it yourself.
Can you tolerate being weak and not strong enough, or do you have dangerous thoughts and do something unpredictable?
Pei Yun's final answer was to take it one step at a time.
Try to do something first. If you do well, keep doing it. If you don't do well, forget it.
Yes, take it one step at a time and try to do it. After all, you have such capital now.
In Min County, you can do whatever you want, and no one can do anything to you.
What will Hu Sisi do to himself? What will Qi Xiangru do to himself?
Besides Hu Sisi and Qi Xiangru, who else in Min County should I look at?
Pei Yun's idea was to transform Huai'en Temple into Huai'en Academy, and then ask Qi Xiangru to come forward to find a teacher to teach, so that the academy's name would be justified.
And I will try to open my own courses, recruit some students, and teach some things I want to teach.
Things are planned this way, but I don't know what the outcome will be, so I can only do my best and follow fate.
However, things are full of unknowns, isn't it interesting?
