In fact, Zhang Feng could understand these things after thinking about it.
After all, Zhang Feng, who came from the future, had a deep-rooted understanding that anyone could study.
According to his understanding, anyone could study. Even the lowliest commoner had the right to study. Moreover, they also had the possibility to become the pillars of the country.
If Zhang Feng were to talk about these historical figures, he might not be able to explain them clearly even if he spent three days and three nights talking about them.
However, Yu Shinan and the others had a completely different understanding.
Zhang Feng could see in their eyes that a scholar was a scholar and a commoner should be a commoner.
This was the understanding engraved in the bones of the people of this era. In the beginning, when Zhang Feng opened the academy, they had opposed it. .
However, at that time, Zhang Feng opened the academy and it was considered orthodox. Therefore, although Yu Shinan and the others were not happy, they could accept it. But now?
Zhang Feng actually wanted to teach the commoners on the mountain …
This difficulty, in their eyes, was tantamount to reaching the sky.
Only those who were born with a prominent family, some good bloodline, and those who had the inheritance of a powerful family could become talents. However, these were not a problem for Zhang Feng. .
Even at this moment, in front of the teaching building, Ma Zhou and a few other commoners were talking about the magical knowledge of physics to the students of the academy. However, Yu Shinan and the others seemed to have some resistance in their hearts.
This might have a lot to do with this era. .
In this era, commoners usually referred to people like Prince Consort Zhou and Chujun Lai Ji. However, in the future, commoners included the poor.
In the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, commoners were only compared to those who were not from the noble families, such as the families of merchants and so on. Only those who had some basic conditions could be called commoners.
In fact, this was very easy to understand. If you could not eat, how would you have the time to read and learn?
For these people.
There was only one evaluation for them.
Reading?
Were they worthy?
There was no good or evil in people who had such an idea. It was a deep-rooted way of thinking, just like Zhang Feng's idea that everyone was equal and everyone could read.
No one would think that people who had such an idea were evil or good.
Zhang Feng also knew that there was no need to argue about these things.
Even if they argued for three days and three nights, there would be no conclusion.
In the face of inherent thinking, there was really nothing to say. Therefore, Zhang Feng sighed and said, "Teachers, this must be a road that you can't walk on, right?"
When Yu Shinan and the others heard this, they could not help but choose to remain silent.
Even Li Shimin sighed and didn't say anything.
At this moment, Zhang Feng looked at the crowd and said, "But if you don't even have the courage to try, how can you succeed?"
"If I am to truly succeed this time around, then, esteemed teachers, think about it. What sort of sensational effect will these thousand plus people bring?"
"First of all, these people can read and know what should be planted first in their crops, when there is a shortage of water, when there is a lack of fertilizer, when the roots of the crops are eaten by insects, and this is not the most important thing."
"When they can really read and write, won't it be better for them to do business in their leisure time?"
"For example, they only know how to collect a little scattered copper coins. In their knowledge, they only know how to install things. What if someone gives them a ingot of silver, what will they do?"
"This is a kind of knowledge. It has nothing to do with the skills of merchants. It is to teach them how to calculate. You have seen that now that the waterway trade route has been opened, coupled with the trade with Zhenla, as long as we take down the trade center of Qiuci City this time, more merchants from the Western Regions will flock to Chang 'an City. What kind of place is Chang' an?"
"This is the center of the entire Tang Dynasty and the center of power of the entire Tang Dynasty. It is a place that will be worshipped by all countries in the future. If outsiders know that the people in Chang 'an City are illiterate and don't know how to do business, what will it be? It will be a disgrace to the Tang Dynasty! "
"It will be a disgrace to those of us who promote the culture of the Tang Dynasty and let the people in the world learn and use it!"
"Not to mention other places, even in Chang 'an City, he can't make some people literate. What will the merchants and the people who come to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty think?"
"What will His Majesty think?"
"Is this what he thinks? Are we doing something useless that will smear the name of the Great Tang?"
"And even if His Majesty doesn't say this, as scholars, don't we feel ashamed to face the world and the sages?"
