Chapter 196 The Benefits of the Debating Hall
Xianyang City, Debating Hall.
Due to Ying Yu's vigorous recruitment of talents, students from various schools gathered in Xianyang.
And the debate hall became a place where students from hundreds of schools exchanged ideas.
Today's debate hall is extremely lively.
Because the great Confucian uncle Sun Tong and the Mohist Xiang Lizi wanted to debate publicly in the debate hall.
This Mohist Xianglizi is the leader of the Xiangli clan, and has a high prestige among hundreds of schools.
The focus of the dispute between the two of them was the content recently published in the Daqin Daily.
The reason why the two are like this is very simple.
He just wanted to get Ying Yu's attention in this way.
For the Royal Academy, they, the famous people from a hundred families, have coveted it for a long time.
Of course, they don't want to enter the academy as students, but want to enter the academy as teachers.
At first, when the Royal Academy was first established, they dismissed it.
But now everyone knows how much Daqin attaches great importance to education.
Especially with the introduction of the Royal Academy University, those self-proclaimed high-ranking and high-ranking members of the family can no longer sit still.
Those who can enter the Royal Academy University must be the most outstanding students in the whole Daqin.
For people like Shusuntong and Xianglizi, it is possible to enter the Royal Academy University as a teacher.
There is nothing more important than recruiting a large number of elite students and spreading their own theories.
Therefore, when the two children were arguing endlessly, the two of them simply went to battle in person.
The debate between the two great masters in the Xianyang Debate Hall naturally attracted countless people to watch.
Since the fall of Li Si, Confucianism has become more and more powerful, and its disciples have spread all over the world.
Although the Mohist school has declined, it was once the number one theory at any rate, and its popularity is no less than that of Confucianism.
What's more, the focus of the dispute between the two is still the very eye-catching "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith" and the Mohist's "universal love and non-aggression".
"I didn't expect to have such a harvest after leaving the palace today."
"Your debate hall is good!"
In front of the debate hall, Ying Zheng in black said with a smile.
As the Great Qin Emperor, although he valued the Legalists, he would not respect the Legalists alone.
In Yingzheng's eyes, the hundred schools of thought are nothing more than a tool he uses to build the Great Qin.
Ying Zheng hated Confucianism, but there were still many Confucian officials in the court.
For Ying Zheng, as long as it is useful to Da Qin, he will reuse it, and let the useless ones be left alone.
"Father, the dissemination of this theory is like controlling floods. Blocking is worse than dredging."
"Instead of suppressing, it is better to give them a stage and let them express their views."
"The victors in this debate are a bit real. When the time comes, my father will choose the best and recruit a few. I, Daqin, have obtained talents, and my father, you have also won the reputation of a virtuous corporal, and will reuse the reputation of hundreds of schools."
After the words fell, Ying Yu pointed to the bustling vendors outside the debate hall and the people who came to watch.
"Father, look."
"With so many people gathered here, they must eat and drink. Isn't this business opportunity here?"
"With business opportunities, smart merchants will come to do business, and this will drive the business in this area.
Prosperous commerce means an increase in taxes, and the people of Xianyang have an additional channel to get money, and the people will only strongly support this. "
"Father, look again."
Speaking of that, Ying Yu pointed to many children who came to join in the fun.
"Because the debate hall is open to the public, anyone can come, so many people who have nothing to do will bring their children to join in the fun.
After seeing and hearing, the children can learn something, isn't this style of study flourishing. "
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
"I didn't expect that a small debating hall could bring so many benefits to Daqin."
"Looks like I'm going to go out more often."
Ying Zheng didn't expect that even people like Shusun Tong and Xiang Lizi would be attracted to Xianyang City.
If this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before the hundred families return to Qin.
A royal academy and a debating hall can attract rebellious children from a hundred schools of thought.
With such a means, even Ying Zheng felt admiration.
"Can such a person really feel at ease teaching students in a university?"
Ying Yu and Ying Zheng had just entered the debate hall when they heard their arguments.
The two viewpoints of 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith' and 'universal love and non-aggression' are naturally no problem when used to educate ordinary people.
However, Ying Zheng always felt that the theories of these two families were too soft.
It's okay to use it to educate the people, but it's a bit too kind to be an official.
Especially the concept of Confucianism, if Confucianism becomes the mainstream of Daqin theory, then the style of Daqin's martial arts will inevitably change.
Confucianism can make the people become obedient citizens, but it will also make the people of Daqin lose their hearts of tigers and wolves.
This is why Yingzheng doesn't like Confucianism.
Because what he wants is not to stick to the status quo, but to expand the territory.
And Mohism's theory of universal love, non-aggression, and equality of all beings is even more outrageous in Ying Zheng's view.
In his eyes, no matter whether it is a person or a thing, there is a distinction between high and low.
All beings are born unequal.
What Yingzheng is worried about now is whether letting these people enter the Royal Academy University to teach will lead his students astray.
He didn't hope that in the future, there would be mediocre ministers who only knew how to stand still.
"Father, there is no need to worry. They are standing here to debate now, and naturally they must focus on their own theories."
"But if you enter the academy, it's not what they say."
"My son has already formulated the corresponding teaching materials. After entering the academy, what knowledge should be taught to the students, they can't decide."
Seeing the worried expression on Ying Zheng's face, Ying Yu said with a smile.
Ying Zheng immediately understood.
This is the same as "Daqin Daily".
Although Liu Ji is the owner of the museum, any content published in the newspaper needs the approval of Ying Zheng or Ying Yu.
The same is true of the Royal Academy University.
He needs to check it out himself.
Those theories that are not in the interests of Daqin will never be passed on to the ears of the students.
"So, I'm relieved."
At this time, Ying Zheng also understood that there was another meaning for Ying Yu to let him be the dean of the academy.
As the dean of the Royal Academy, Ying Zheng is naturally qualified to dictate what the students should learn.
Even if others wanted to find fault, they couldn't find it.
