"However, in the eyes of most of us scholars, you are harming them and our descendants. If one day, women can participate in the Imperial Examination, then a large number of men will fail. You are harming them in the process of exploring, "Ceng Yuan said seriously.
Fang Yun gradually raised his voice and said, "The barbarians are invading the South, Jingguo is on the verge of collapse. The Five Demon Mountain is in chaos, Saint Origin is in danger. The Dragon Palace of the Four Seas is at odds with the human race, and there are hidden dangers. The Demon Realm is about to launch the second War of Two World Mountain, and the human race is in danger. I know, you think I will say that the human race is being harmed by so many foreign enemies, and you are only talking about the danger of the women's school. No, I will not say that. Even if the human race is surrounded by billions of foreign enemies, everyone can point out my mistakes. What I really want to say is, with the current progress of the human race, when the Demon Realm's Great Sage returns, is it possible to defend Two World Mountain? "
"The possibility is very small," Ceng Yuan said.
"Therefore, the human race needs a big change, a big revolution that will impact everyone's views, and only then will we have a chance! Everything I've done is nothing more than to explore a path that can significantly improve the strength of the humankind with my blood and flesh from the thousands of intangible paths. Therefore, I don't care about the criticism of others, but I also hope that you will not obstruct me. In order to explore this path, I am already exhausted, and I do not have the time and energy to explain and prove to you. The only thing I can do is to let the end prove right and wrong, "Fang Yundao said.
Ceng Yuan stared into Fang Yun's eyes, and saw a gaze that was more determined than the mountains, and more profound than the night sky.
Ceng Yuan nodded and said, "I am only your executor, not your opponent. Since you insist on building a women's school, I will not oppose, but I want you to think about the consequences. In my opinion, it will not be long before someone uses the women's school to attack you, or the Zong and Lei families, or some scholars. Once they fail in the Imperial Examination, they will definitely think that if the energy and money spent on the women's school is used on them, they will definitely be able to succeed. "
"When encountering danger and experiencing failure, if they can't find the reason for it from themselves at the first moment, recognize their own shortcomings, and then look for other people or external reasons, then this kind of person will never achieve great things. There's no need to pay attention to them," Fang Yun said.
Ceng Yuan smiled and said, "Since there is no need to care about such people, I advise you, the Notre-Dame and the Holy Families will always control the future of the human race. Even you should understand that without the support of some of the Holy Clans, you would have been killed by Liu Shan long ago. Am I right? "
"You have a point," Fang Yun replied skillfully.
"Based on the current situation, as long as Min Pao continues to be published, whether it is written in vulgar characters or in vernacular, there will be a large number of people who will buy it. As long as the ban of the Saint Institute was lifted, the People's Daily would definitely sweep across the entire Saint Origin World. Therefore, since you have angered some conservative scholars who favor boys over girls in the women's school, there is no need to offend those conservative scholars who insist on orthodoxy for the sake of pleasing the common people. Although there are many people in the world, they can't affect you in the slightest. "Ceng Yuan said.
Fang Yun smiled faintly and said, "It seems that you have misunderstood the position of Min Pao. For scholars, there were the Holy Path and Literary News. For officials, there were the Imperial Gazettes of various countries. I created Min Pao for the common people to read. It has nothing to do with whether they can influence me or not. As for those conservative scholars who insist on proper writing, I recommend them to buy Wen Bao and Sheng Dao. Min Bao might not suit them. "
"'Min Pao' is for the common people to read, but your every move must be for the Notre-Dame and scholars to see. Just like how you can't always do as you please, it's the same with Min Pao, "Zeng Yuan said.
"You're right. No one can always do whatever they want. However, most of the time, you can't ignore other people's reactions, but you can't care too much about other people's attitudes. But for those who oppose the vernacular and vulgarization of the Min Pao, all they can convey is whether they are willing or not, whether they like it or not. I don't need to care too much, "Fang Yun said.
"Listening to your words is better than studying for ten years. What you said is very reasonable. I will keep it in mind. However, even those who oppose the vulgarization have sufficient reasons, "Zeng Yuan said.
"Tell me about it," Fang Yundao said.
"First of all, everyone knows that the same train and the same language are written in the same language. Writing in the same language is very important to the human race. Back then, the six countries had many different languages, and it was very chaotic. Even Confucius pointed it out. In the end, the Qin Emperor solved it. Secondly, Min Pao is mainly to convey information to the common people … Using the words you often use, it is to convey information. Only by using the same language can the information be accurate and avoid ambiguity. As for other benefits, there are many that I won't mention. I'm sure you know about them, "Zeng Yuan said.
Fang Yundao smiled and said, "You're right. I just want to ask you. Do you want the world to be harmonious, and people to be equal, commoners and aristocratic families to be equal, or do you think that people should be superior, and aristocratic families should enjoy special privileges? Speak your mind, and don't hide anything. "
Zeng Yuan was stunned for a few moments, and said helplessly, "The human race's Divine Path has always been contradictory. Some people say that Confucius's Harmonious World refers to the restoration of the Zhou Rites and the order of the world. Xun Zi also said that the human race should be divided into high and low. However, some people say that Confucius's restoration of the Zhou Rites was only an ideal before he became a Saint. After he became a Saint, Kong Sheng looked at the long river of history. The so-called Harmonious World was naturally everyone's job, but people were equal. Reading the books of the saints, learning benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust. As children of Huaxia, there are naturally people who think the same way. However, in reality, most people have to admit that people are divided into high and low. We are aristocratic families, and under the protection of our seniors, there is no harm in enjoying some special privileges. "
"Therefore, you oppose the vulgar and vernacular writing. Of course, 'oppose' is not necessarily accurate. At least, you think that formal writing and written writing are better, and more suitable for the current human race," Fang Yundao said.
Zeng Yuan was stunned. He vaguely understood Fang Yundao's meaning, but he couldn't figure it out.
Fang Yundao said, "I'm a commoner, and you're an aristocratic family's child. You and I both have a certain understanding of each other. Then let me ask you a few simple questions. The vulgar characters I write have fewer strokes than formal writing. Then, is it easier to remember formal writing, or is it easier to learn? "
"Naturally, it's the vulgar characters that are easier to learn."
"Very good. I'm a commoner, and you're an aristocratic family's child. If our brains aren't too different, and we're both equally smart, and if we study for a hundred days and only learn formal writing, who can remember more words? "Fang Yundao asked.
"There shouldn't be a big difference," Zeng Yuan said tentatively.
"When you were studying, you woke up early every day. You had servants to take care of you and send you to the aristocratic family's school. You studied until noon, and then you ate a reasonable meal. After an afternoon nap, you continued studying until you went home at night. You didn't have to think about anything else. Am I right?" Fang Yundao asked.
"Yes, most of us aristocratic family's children went to school like this." Zeng Yuan somewhat understood Fang Yundao's meaning.
