Great Tang Broom Star

Ah Fu gets up very early every day, and he will patrol around the house after getting up.

Sanhua came out of the room, Ah Fu glanced at her, and continued to move forward while shaking her chubby buttocks.

"Ah Fu!"

Hongyan came out, yawned, and rubbed Ah Fu's head happily.

"Ah Fu doesn't like you!"

Hongyan proudly showed off to Sanhua.

Sanhua grows so big, she has never seen such a cute creature, so she was very curious when she first came to Jia's house. But for some unknown reason, Ah Fu ignored her.

Today you ignore me, tomorrow I will let you...

Sanhua raised her head slightly, with determination in her eyes.

Jia Pingan came out.

"Mr. Lang."

Hongyan immediately went to tidy up the bed in high spirits.

The little maid was very happy, and sang an inexplicable song while tidying up.

"Mr. Lang."

Sanhua got something to wash.

Wash, exercise, eat breakfast, this is the morning trilogy.

"gentlemen."

Zhao Yan is here.

"Yesterday's arithmetic problem is over."

Today's homework was done yesterday...

This student is unbelievably hardworking.

Jia Pingan said casually: "So, you should also go to Chen Jidong to study Confucianism."

Zhao Yan agreed and went out with him.

"Sir, someone argued with me yesterday. He said that the way of the world should be heaven, earth and man. Confucianism is to explore the knowledge of heaven, earth and man, while new learning is to study those subtle things. One is high and the other is low..."

What idiot's theory is this?

Jia Pingan said: "The so-called heaven, earth and man are just a metaphysical thing in Confucianism. They say this is the way. But people are born to eat, drink and drink. What is the way of man?

Confucianism explores heaven, earth and man, and the metaphysical way actually has something in common with Buddhism and Taoism, which is Tao.

They say that under the surface it is a device, which I think is a good point. What we are discussing is a device, which is the investigation of things. They pondered from the top, we pondered from the bottom, when we pondered countless things, what were they still talking about... The sky is so high, it is unspeakably high, and the earth is so thick, it is unfathomable... But we have learned to measure Measure how high the sky is, how thick the earth is..."

Zhao Yan was stunned, "Sir, so... Confucianism is superior, but it's just talking about it. But our new students are doing things while bowing down?"

"Yes, they are gentlemen, use their mouths. We are mortals, use our hands. Children can be taught!"

The student realized what he meant, which made Jia Pingan happy. After patting him on the shoulder, he went to Abao.

"Mister is a great talent."

Zhao Yan watched Jia Pingan leave, and Jiang Rong, who had just opened the gate to inspect, passed by and asked, "Zhao Yan, what did you learn from Uncle Wuyang?"

Zhao Yan looked at him and said proudly: "I learned how to do things with my body bent."

A soldier said: "Fangzheng, this Zhao Yan looks different now, and the way he looks at people is also different, it seems that there is something more..."

"Confidence!" Jiang Rong said sadly: "If my child had been a student of Uncle Wu Yang, he would be the one who is so confident now. Yea, my intestines are regretful."

Most of the schools in Datang were government schools, ranging from the Imperial College schools above to the prefecture schools and county schools below, and even rural schools in some places, which constituted the education system of Datang.

But those who can enter government schools are rare after all, and there are many young people who want to study but can't get it, which gave birth to the industry of private education.

Chen Jidong taught privately at home.

Jinganfang is not far from Daodefang.

Zhao Yan trotted all the way to Mr.'s house with his bag on his back.

Chen Jidong's face was reddish, with a Chinese character face, and he scolded as soon as he opened his mouth, "Be prudent and prudent, how many times have you said it?"

"yes."

Zhao Yan quickly suppressed his breath.

"Sit down."

Zhao Yan sat in his seat, and Cheng Yu, a classmate behind him, said in a low voice, "Mr. said yesterday that new learning is a lie. Be careful of getting beaten."

Zhao Yan nodded gratefully.

"today……"

Chen Jidong started class.

Later, he casually distributed his thoughts and said: "Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is flourishing, and you and other students should study well, govern the world for officials, restrain themselves for the people, teach children, and even teach neighbors and educate one side. That’s what reading means.”

He glanced at Zhao Yan, "Many people today have some opinions, saying that the new learning is the soul of Confucianism back then, what do you think?"

This is a difficult time.

Cheng Yu sighed, knowing that Mr. Zhi wanted to challenge Jia Pingan through Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan got up, feeling a little uncomfortable, but said with piercing eyes, "Mr. also mentioned Confucianism when he was teaching the new learning. You think that existence is the truth. Confucianism has been popular for many years, so it has its advantages."

He wanted to sit down here, but suddenly felt that this was unfair.

Why are they able to point fingers at the new learning and do whatever they want, while the new learning can only bear with their heads down?

Zhao Yan took a deep breath, "Mr. also said... that he uses authority to suppress other studies at every turn. This is a guilty conscience!"

Cheng Yu's breathing tightened, feeling that Zhao Yan was about to get into trouble.

Chen Jidong sneered, "He wants to say... Was it wrong to depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone? Was it wrong to suppress miscellaneous studies?"

This is a matter of position.

Cheng Yu felt that Zhao Yan would choose to back down.

But Zhao Yan nodded vigorously, "Yes. Mr. said that a single flower is not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom together will make the garden full of spring."

Chen Jidong's complexion was slightly dark.

"get out of class is over!"

The gentleman didn't scold him?

The students were stunned.

After Chen Jidong went out, Cheng Yu hooked Zhao Yan's neck and said excitedly, "You refuted Mr.

Yang Chi on the side said flatly: "It's those two lines of poems that make my husband have nothing to say."

Zhao Yan returned home happily.

"Dalang is back."

Han is feeding the pigs.

"Ma'am, I'm coming."

As soon as Zhao Yan put the schoolbag away, he took the wooden ladle and scooped the pig food into the stone trough one by one.

A few pigs were grunting and eating, and the hot pig food exuded a smell of mountains and fields.

Han wiped her hands with her apron, "Study is the most important thing, you don't need to do these jobs."

Zhao Yan smiled while scooping up pig food, "Aniang, Mr. said that there is no difference between high and low in the world. Don't think that you are a master after studying."

"That's not what a superior person is?"

Zhao Yan smiled and stopped explaining.

In the afternoon, when Jia Ping'an went down to the Yamen, Zhao Yan went over with his homework.

After the lecture, Zhao Yan said what Chen Jidong said.

"Learning has no distinction between high and low." Jia Ping'an said flatly: "But such topics should not be discussed by you. I will go there tomorrow morning."

The next morning, Jia Pingan followed Zhao Yan to Chen Jidong's house.

"Zhao Yan, is this your brother?"

Cheng Yu was a little envious when he saw Jia Pingan with a calm expression.

Zhao Yan shook his head, "It's sir."

This is Uncle Wuyang?

Cheng Yu cupped his hands, "I met Uncle Wuyang."

"This is a school, not an officialdom, so there is no need to do so."

Jia Pingan spoke a few words to them casually, and Chen Jidong came.

"Who are you……"

Jia Pingan cupped his hands, "Jia Pingan has met Mr. Chen."

Chen Jidong's eyes became more vigilant, "What's the purpose of Uncle Wuyang coming here?"

This person seems a little afraid of me?

Jia Pingan's heart moved slightly, "Please take another step to speak."

Chen Jidong nodded, "So it's outside."

The two went out, and the students crowded around the window to watch the fun.

"I have to go to Baiqi for business later, so it's simpler, Mr. Chen thinks there is something wrong with the new learning, just tell me."

Jia Pingan didn't ask for leave today, and when I go back to Mingjing later, the ladies must be muttering about being late.

Chen Jidong sneered and said, "Uncle Wu Yang is here to find trouble?"

This person has too many brains... Jia Pingan smiled and said: "I just want to talk about it, otherwise Zhao Yan will not feel at ease after learning."

Chen Jidong said indifferently: "The so-called new learning is miscellaneous learning. Miscellaneous learning can exist, but it can only be included..."

Just to be the younger brother, no, to be the grandson.

Confucianism is Laozi, and Xinxue is the gray grandson.

Where did these people get their confidence?

Chen Jidong said a lot.

Jia Pingan smiled and said: "Has the new learning ever harmed the country? Has it ever led people to evil paths? Has it ever harmed the hearts of the people?"

this……

Chen Jidong thought for a while, "Not really."

"Then..." Jia Pingan said seriously, "Why is Confucianism afraid of new learning?"

Chen Jidong blushed, "Confucianism is not afraid of new learning."

"Then why do you keep saying that new learning is a dead soul?" Jia Pingan felt that these people were not confident, "If you are confident that Confucianism can crush new learning, then go for it. Since new learning is harmless, why can't it exist? ? Does the existence of learning depend on Confucianism?"

Chen Jidong took a deep breath, "New learning interferes with Confucianism."

"This is lack of self-confidence!" Jia Pingan said with a smile: "Where is the new learning? The biggest one is mathematics, but there are so many students in the Imperial College, and mathematics is only marginal. What are you afraid of? As for the outside, there are only a few dignitaries. The children are studying. As for the folks, Jia also accepted Zhao Yan as a student, so... what is Confucianism afraid of?"

Chen Jidong's lips moved, "..."

He found himself speechless and could only stand with his hands behind his back, maintaining his dignity.

yes! The new learning is harmless, and it will not confuse people to do bad things, and it will not encourage the people to give up the monarchy. It has no political affairs at all, so why is Confucianism afraid?

"This is lack of confidence!"

Jia Pingan nodded, then smiled at the classroom, and left.

"It looks like you won, sir?"

Cheng Yu felt that Chen Jidong's posture with his hands behind his back was more majestic than Jia Pingan's easy-going posture, and he probably won.

Yang Chi also felt the same way, "Probably so."

Zhao Yan's heart sank, and he was so sad that he wanted to cry.

"Sir is back."

Everyone sat down quickly, pretending to be good babies.

Chen Jidong came in, did not pick up the textbook, but kept silent.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "I used to be biased towards new learning."

Yang Chi was stunned, "Sir..."

Chen Jidong is a proud person, and he will not bow his head even if he makes a mistake while teaching them.

But today he bowed his head.

Cheng Yu said in disbelief, "Didn't the Mister win?"

Zhao Yan only felt like jumping up happily in his heart.

It was my husband who won.

Chen Jidong asked: "Zhao Yan, what did Uncle Wu Yang teach?"

Zhao Yan got up, "Sir, there are many professors, such as astronomy and geography, arithmetic, physical chemistry..."

I also know about astronomy and geography, and I also know about arithmetic, but what is physical chemistry?

Chen Jidong asked; "What is physical chemistry?"

"It is the study of the origin of everything in the world."

What a big tone!

Chen Jidong asked: "How can you study everything in the world?"

"For example, people make alchemy, why arsenic is produced by calcining realgar. For example, why oil solidifies, and why wood can be burned into charcoal..."

These are all things around.

Chen Jidong frowned, "The alchemy is the elixir, what arsenic? Nonsense."

Here he made some comments on the new students, and felt that he was full of lies.

Zhao Yan thought of something else, "Duke E used to make alchemy at home, and his health got worse and worse. Later, my husband went and said that those things are not good things, but poison to people!"

Chen Jidong was stunned.

Cheng Yu stood up, "Sir, my family happened to know about this."

"Tell me." Chen Jidong nodded.

Cheng Yu said: "In the past, Duke E often bought some alchemy products, but he stopped coming. My family even asked, and said that Duke E no longer made alchemy and took medicine to detoxify every day. It turned out that it was Uncle Wuyang's persuasion." ?”

Of course sir!

Zhao Yan nodded proudly, "Wei Chi Xunyu, the prince of E State, is Mr.'s student, and he is very respectful to him."

Chen Jidong's persistence was hit again.

After class later, he went to find a good friend Yuan Xing.

"Duke E?"

Yuan Xing said with a sigh of relief: "Uncle Wuyang and Tai Shiling went to the mansion of Duke E, and when they turned around, Duke E broke the way of alchemy, and he drank some milk every day to detoxify. That's elixir! What kind of poison? They're all liars! Liars!"

Yuan Xing suddenly became excited, his face was flushed, and his eyes were excited.

This is……

Chen Jidong remembered that Yuan Xing was not like this before.

The servant at the side hurriedly persuaded: "Master Immortal, it's time to take the medicine."

Yuan Xing sat down, and the servant took out a bag of things, opened it, and found colorful powder.

"Take a bite?" Yuan Xing persuaded.

Chen Jidong shook his head, desperately realizing that he was wrong. Then he asked about alchemy.

"Yeah, realgar and other things can be used to refine elixir, take it lightly, and prolong life..."

Chen Jidong is a person who is obsessed with learning. Hearing this, he couldn't help asking: "How did you make it?"

Chen Jidong didn't understand Yuan Xing's reasoning about the clouds and mountains and mists, and quietly became a servant after he came out.

"Lang Jun has become like this after he has taken more pills."

Is it really poison?

He then went to Daodefang and asked Zhao Yan for questioning.

"Arsenic..." Zhao Yan learned it before, "It is to use letter stone or realgar to heat it up, and the Kun inside will be sublimated, and then come out to oxidize... Cover it with something, and the arsenic will condense on it. It can be used medicinally, but It's also poison."

"poison……"

Thinking of his friend Yuan Xing taking those things, Chen Jidong couldn't bear it anymore.

...

"Uncle Wuyang, you are late."

Ming Jing kept a straight face, showing the reserve of a disciplinary committee member.

"So what? Withhold the money."

Jia Ping'an looked like a local tyrant, and he almost said, "Hey, let's eat.".

yes!

He's not short of money and doesn't care.

"But your assessment..." Ming Jing smiled complacently.

Jia Pingan also smiled, "Who will judge me?"

The superior should evaluate his subordinates, and this evaluation serves as the person's evaluation, and promotion and fortune depend on it.

"You..." Ming Jing was startled, and found that Jia Ping'an didn't appear to be an official.

No, there was, but his superior was actually the emperor.

"I'm very busy." Jia Pingan said casually: "I have to save those fallen souls early in the morning, so tired!"

"What soul?"

"Someone is dissatisfied with the new learning, so I went to explain it."

"What's the use of that? It's better to fight." Ming Jing thought of the debates in Taoist temples in the past.

"I've already won."

"Boast!"

Ming Jing felt that Jia Ping'an was really not humble enough.

Jia Pingan read the news, got up and said, "I'll go to the Forbidden Garden to have a look."

From the time he came back to the present, he hadn't seen Babyface, and he didn't know how she was doing in cultivation.

"I'll take a look too."

Ming Jing doesn't like to stay in Baiqili, and wants to go out when she gets the chance.

"Whatever, but you can't enter the Ganye Temple."

All the way out of the imperial city, Ming Jing yelled: "There are only a few students in your new teaching, and they are all perfunctory, so why compete with those people? In my opinion, you should find someone Local practice, accept a few disciples, teach new learning every day, and after hundreds of years, they will ascend to Taoism and leave a few volumes of new learning, so that they can compete with Confucianism."

When did this woman cultivate her poisonous tongue?

Jia Pingan squinted at her, "Do you know what a corona is?"

Ming Jing shook her head.

"Do you know what calculus is?"

Ming Jing: "..."

"Do you know what a chemical change is?"

Ming Jing...

Jia Pingan said flatly: "You don't know anything."

I am not illiterate!

Ming Jing was angry.

"When you get old, your new learning is still a street mouse!"

This curse was so powerful that Jia Pingan cast a fierce look at her, "You will probably always be at peace in the future."

Taiping...the implication is not bad!

Ming Jing was overjoyed, and felt that she had gone too far against Jia Pingan.

"You... I think you are still very talented, but Confucianism is strong, you are like a mantis arm, asking for your own destruction."

A man approached, Bao Dong shouted: "Stand back!"

The man bowed, "This is Chen Jidong, who was once an assistant teacher of Confucianism."

Confucian teaching assistants in Guozijian are probably equivalent to later university professors.

The point is that there are only so many teaching assistants in the entire Tang Dynasty, which can be called rare animals.

Bao Dong looked pale, "What's the matter?"

Chen Jidong raised his head, "I met Uncle Wuyang."

Jia Pingan nodded, thinking to himself what is this guy doing here? Could it be that you were so annoyed by my refutation in the morning that you want to come here for me?

Ming Jing said in a low voice: "Look, look, I just said that your new study is a street mouse, not even the Confucian teaching assistants are here, this is to let you down in front of everyone, or else You go to the Forbidden Garden first, and I will deal with him."

Chen Jidong took a step forward, "I had a conversation with Uncle Wuyang in the morning. After thinking about it carefully, I went to ask a friend. I couldn't help but be quite curious about physical chemistry. I beg Uncle Wuyang to teach this knowledge."

This change made Jia Pingan quite curious, "Why do you want to learn something new all of a sudden?"

Chen Jidong said: "I have a good friend who is a Taoist. This person obtained the elixir by calcining realgar and other substances, but after taking it, there are some problems."

"That thing cannot be calcined."

"Why?" Chen Jidong cupped his hands and said sincerely: "I also ask Uncle Wuyang to be merciful and save him."

"There are poisons in realgar cinnabar and other things. If they are calcined at high temperature, the toxicity will be released."

There is arsenic in the realgar, and mercury in the cinnabar. Burning those things at a high temperature is not afraid of poisoning?

Chen Jidong said helplessly: "That friend is unable to extricate himself."

This is too long indulging in the road of elixirs weaved by oneself.

"In this way, realgar cinnabar and other materials must not be calcined, and if powder is to be ground, they must not be hammered..."

"Then what's the use?" Chen Jidong thought to himself rubbing it with his hands?

"Add water to mash, grind in water, then the fine particles float in the water, the coarse particles sink, take the upper layer, and then grind the lower layer."

Wonderful!

Chen Jidong, a former assistant professor of Confucianism, bowed solemnly, "Thank you, Uncle Wuyang, and ask Uncle Wuyang to teach me the way of new learning."

Ming Jing was shocked, looked at Jia Pingan who was frowning slightly, and said to himself: I actually thought that Xinxue was a street mouse, but judging by this person's expression, it was clear that he was sincerely convinced... The teaching assistant of Confucianism actually bowed his head to him for advice, if it spreads , how many people will be shocked?
