"The difference between us humans and beasts, apart from civilization, the more important difference is that we are humans and can use tools and create tools!"
Song Yingxing looked at the students in front of him.
There was a look of emotion in his eyes, and he was deeply influenced by His Royal Highness.
Song Yingxing was not able to accept some of the words and deeds of His Highness the Crown Prince at first, but as time went by, he felt more and more that His Highness the Crown Prince's words and deeds were really accurate!
There is no limit to human thinking. At least for now, it is far from clear where the limit is.
After pondering for a moment, Song Yingxing continued to say to the students in front of him: "It's a very simple truth. We used to attach too much importance to humanistic education and cultural things. The shock that Confucius brought to us surpassed many things.
I admit that these things are very important and we should abide by them, and Confucius is indeed a saint, but I feel that these are not enough!"
Song Yingxing paused, looked at the students in front of him seriously and said: "Confucius guides our ideological enlightenment and tells us the culture we should have as human beings.
But that alone is not enough! Confucius’ ideal is that everyone in the world should be educated, and everyone in the world should have access to education! But have you ever thought about how everyone, including civilians, can access education??”
After speaking, Song Yingxing glanced at the students around him.
These students were stunned for a moment, with a blank look in their eyes. They were still too young to understand such profound things.
At this time, Chen Yi's eyes really lit up. He said to Song Yingxing in front of him: "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! The Crown Prince ordered all civilians to receive education!"
After hearing Chen Yi's words, everyone around them all looked at Chen Yi who was standing aside.
Chen Yi felt a little weak in his heart, but he still stood there bravely.
"good!"
Song Yingxing smiled slightly, looked at Chen Yi in front of him and said with a smile: "What this classmate said is actually good! But, have you ever thought about why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can allow all civilians to go to school?? Also
,Why can’t civilians go to school?”
"Because civilians have no money! Moreover, even if there is no money to go to school, ordinary civilians will not let their children go to school because they can't afford it!"
At this time, Chen Yi continued.
"very good!"
Song Yingxing had a smile on his face.
"And here, it comes to a topic I want to talk about today! Productivity!"
Song Yingxing looked at the many students in front of him with a serious face and said.
“Productivity, as the name suggests, is the time, energy and time it takes for everyone to produce food and other necessities of life.
Generally speaking, the life of civilians is very good because they are exploited by the government, exploited by officials, and then exploited by natural disasters and exploited by landlords. In good harvest years, they can maintain food and clothing.
During the years of debt, people usually sell their land, then their sons and daughters, and eventually become homeless, and then become tenants, completely losing their freedom, so that their children can study? That is an idea that only rich people can have!"
Song Yingxing said calmly.
Hearing Song Yingxing's words, many people present lowered their heads unconsciously. They were not deeply touched by Song Yingxing's words, but it was obvious that they had all experienced this.
At this time, Song Yingxing ignored the people in front of him and continued: "We cannot continue to eliminate this exploitative relationship in a short time.
Therefore, what we have to do is actually to improve the production efficiency per unit time, liberate productivity, so that the common people can have enough to eat, and let the children of the common people have the opportunity to go to school. This is the whole meaning and value of our studying science!"
Song Yingxing said to the students in front of him with serious eyes.
He didn't know what the students in front of him were thinking, but Song Yingxing still remembered that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said these words to him, the shock in his heart was beyond words.
At that time, he could deeply feel the great love in the heart of His Royal Highness!
It can be said that he truly loves his people deeply. Unlike many emperors, His Royal Highness truly loves every person in the world!
This feeling made Song Yingxing respect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much.
"These words were spoken by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! He wanted all the people of the entire Ming Dynasty to have a happy enough and good enough life! Instead of being like this, where the rich can be as rich as the enemy.
The poor can’t even afford to eat! His Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t want this to happen, so let’s vigorously develop productivity! I hope everyone will work hard in the future! Work hard to realize the harmonious society in the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince!”
"Yes! Professor!"
The students around them looked seriously and shouted loudly towards Song Yingxing in front of them.
Chen Yi was among them, shouting especially hard, and his eyes were very serious.
Your Royal Highness! I will never let you down!
Chen Yi thought silently in his heart.
"Okay! Your teaching materials are out! Everyone, hurry up and read them!"
Song Yingxing said to Chen Yi in front of him with a smile on his face.
As he said that, the clerk next to him quickly walked into the classroom carrying boxes one by one and began to distribute books to everyone.
Books one after another were all distributed to the students in front of them.
"Right now, there are a total of sixteen textbooks, but you don't have so many courses. Some books are considered extended reading for you, so you can take a good look at them.
These books include some of the top writings of our scientists before the Ming Dynasty, as well as the writings and research of some Western sages. We do not need to believe them all.
But it is also good to expand your horizons. Then there is a book written by His Highness the Crown Prince, called "Seeking Truth", which is mainly to stimulate your desire to explore. It contains three hundred questions written by His Highness the Crown Prince.
If you can explain the basic principles of one of these problems, you can graduate directly! You can even become a professor in our school!"
Song Yingxing said to the students in front of him with a smile on his face.
Hearing Song Yingxing's words, the eyes of the surrounding students suddenly showed curiosity.
Almost everyone's eyes quickly turned to the last book, which read, author, Prince Zhu Cixiang!
Chen Yi opened the book in front of him with some curiosity.
"I once heard that only when you have questions, you will have answers. Therefore, I found hundreds of questions and wanted to see your real answers. I don't want to know some vague answers, but practical ones.
