"Zhang Zongshi?" Fang Yun immediately recalled that when he was traveling incognito, he had met a scholar named Zhang Zongshi in a restaurant. This person was very insightful and would probably achieve great things in the future if nothing unexpected happened.
"Give me his document," Fang Yundao said.
"I have already stored it in my official seal. I will send it to you now," Dong Wencong said as he held the official seal in his hand and sent the document to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun took out his official seal and carefully examined Zhang Zongshi's document.
At the beginning of the document, Zhang Zongshi listed the books he had read when he was a child and a scholar. Most of them were classics of the saints of the human race and the works of famous people.
Then, Zhang Zongshi singled out a few books and pointed out that these books had been listed as optional books by the State Academy of Arts after Gyeongo had seized them in Xiangzhou. In the normal teaching of the Academy, the teachers not only had to teach the compulsory books set by the government, but also occasionally teach some optional books to broaden the horizons of the students.
Within a prefecture, the designated compulsory books had to be reviewed by the Notre-Dame. Optional books did not need to be reviewed and were decided by the State Academy of Arts.
Starting from a few decades ago, the optional books of all the Academies in Xiangzhou had become newly compiled books.
Zhang Zongshi wrote in his document that the most frightening thing was not the birth of these so-called optional books decades ago, but the fact that these books were still used in the Academy to teach students even though Xiangzhou had already broken away from Gyeongo.

Zhang Zongshi used the Xiangzhou Academy's "Book of Famous Scholars" as an example. In the "Book of Famous Scholars" of normal countries, most of them recorded the deeds of outstanding scholars or ancient people. Occasionally, they would select well-known people from other countries and use their deeds to educate students.
The "Book of Famous Scholars" of Xiangzhou was very different because the deeds of Jingguo people accounted for only 40% of the entries. Most of them were Jingguo Half-saint and famous scholars before the founding of Jingguo. There were very few famous people in the 200 years after the founding of the country. Even Fang Yun and Li Wenying, who were bound to be included in the "Book of Famous Scholars", were not included. Instead, Left Prime Minister Mount Liu was included in the "Book of Famous Scholars" with a positive image.
Forty percent of the people in the "Book of Famous Scholars" were Jingguo people, but apart from Half-saint, the other people's deeds would more or less be tainted by some seemingly neutral incidents that would damage the reputation of those famous scholars.
The deeds of the other 60% of the people in the "Book of Famous Scholars" of Xiangzhou were the complete opposite. Not only were their deeds perfect, but they were also flawless. What Zhang Zongshi found most difficult to understand was that in the deeds of the famous scholars of other countries, Jingguo people were always extremely unbearable.
Zhang Zongshi also used "The Book of Persuasion", "World Matters", and other books for elementary learning as examples. These books were surprisingly similar in some aspects. All the Gyeongo people that appeared in them had a positive image, but none of the Jingguo people were good people. Even the famous scholars of the Ten Nations would be tainted by some tainted content. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↑ Say △ w

Zhang Zongshi believed that if these books were unofficial history books, it would be natural for them to record the tainted reputation of the famous scholars of Jingguo. However, they were books that were meant to enlighten children. In these books, all the Gyeongo people were perfect and good people, while half of the Jingguo people were bad and the other half had done bad things. That made people suspect the intentions of the editors and publishers of the books.
Zhang Zongshi requested Dong Wencong to investigate the matter thoroughly. Otherwise, in the long run, the future scholars of Xiangzhou would look up to the people of other countries and despise the people of Jingguo.
What surprised Fang Yun the most was that Zhang Zongshi clearly had deep feelings for Xiangzhou and was clearly working hard to revitalize it. However, in the end, he said something that seemed contradictory.
Zhang Zongshi wrote that the people of Xiangzhou were the same as all the other people in the world. They were shrewd but not smart because the things that they knew were limited. Even if they were sane, they would often make wrong judgments and be deceived by the government, people who opposed the government, or people from other countries. In other words, it wasn't that the people were stupid, but that there were smarter people who could influence the people's perception of everything. Thus, they would make wrong judgments without realizing it. As time passed, they would take these mistakes as truths.
After that, Zhang Zongshi gave a simple example. Anyone with a normal brain would know that Gyeongo's monarch, officials, and aristocratic families weren't selfless saints. They definitely understood the principle that those who weren't of the same race were bound to have different hearts. However, there were still people from Xiangzhou who foolishly believed that as long as they joined Gyeongo, they would receive the same privileges as the children of the imperial family, officials, and aristocratic families. In reality, the status of the people of Xiangzhou in Gyeongo was even lower than the lowest level of Gyeongo's common people.
Fang Yun put down his official seal and looked at Dong Wencong. "It takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to nurture people. Educating the students of a province is of utmost importance. It was a dereliction of duty that I didn't deal with this matter immediately. Zhang Zongshi is a good person and very insightful. What's even rarer is that he clearly knows who is a friend and who is a foe. Have you investigated the matter he reported? "
Dong Wencong immediately replied, "I have already joined forces with Governor Fang and mobilized people to investigate this matter in secret. We already have preliminary results. I will send a letter to you now. "
As Dong Wencong spoke, he sent another letter to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun took the letter and read it carefully. After reading it, Fang Yun sighed softly.
There was good news and bad news in the letter.
Before coming to Xiangzhou, Fang Yun suspected that the Provincial Literature Institute in charge of educating students in Xiangzhou had long been infiltrated by Gyeongo spies. The good news was that Gyeongo hadn't planted any spies in the Provincial Literature Institute. The bad news was that some of the scholars in Xiangzhou had experienced the most incompetent era in Xiangzhou and Jingguo. Their beliefs had completely collapsed, as if their spines and legs had been broken by Gyeongo people. After kneeling down, they never stood up again. They were like dragons in front of Jingguo people, but like slaves in front of Gyeongo people.
Even today, when Jing Country was flourishing, the word "slave" was deeply imprinted in these people's minds.
These scholars in Xiangzhou could have achieved greater achievements, but in this special era, they were burdened by the government, abandoned by Jingguo, and suppressed by Gyeongo. In the end, they vented their anger on Jingguo, but they didn't mention Gyeongo's misfortune.
They were not spies, but loyal dogs who cooperated with Gyeongo people to contain and even destroy Jingguo.
Their goal was the same as Gyeongo's, which was to make Jingguo a backward country forever and be trapped in a cage by Gyeongo and other powerful countries. If Jingguo wanted to struggle out of the cage and improve, they would do their best to stop it.
One of their goals was to destroy Jingguo people's confidence.
They even thought that Jingguo people were the most inferior citizens of the Ten Nations, and that they would only change if they were enslaved by Gyeongo and became Gyeongo people.
Fang Yun shook his head gently. These people didn't understand that a truly great person's greatness didn't lie in his high spirits when he stood at the peak of the world, but in his attitude and words when he was at the lowest point of his life. A great nation's greatness didn't lie in suppressing a world at its peak, but in how it rose again after it had been beaten down.
The disaster that these people caused was far worse than the massacre of millions of people in Xiangzhou.
