The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2785: The prince Li Chengqian who has matured

Looking at Cheng Sanlang's eloquent speech, which was obviously thoughtful, all the civil and military ministers of the Tang Dynasty fell silent.

Although some people think that Cheng Sanlang seems a little exaggerated, but recalling the new things that he saw in Cheng's University today.

It really covers everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and many things are beneficial to the country and the people.

Li Shimin stroked his three long beards, his eyes swept over the group of officials, before he could speak, the prince Li Chengqian on the side spoke solemnly.

"Father, I remember the forty-second chapter of "Book of Rites", which is called "Great Learning", and I tried to read it, and there are many things that I don't understand. Now I am watching Cheng's University, and I have a little experience..."

Seeing these words, all the ministers and workers also looked at the rather reserved Crown Prince in astonishment.

Li Shimin looked at his son, then glanced at Cheng Chubi beside him, and smiled gently.

"Since the prince has some experience, he will share it with all the ministers, and I will listen to it carefully."

Cheng Chubi on the side also had a solemn expression. After all, this Cheng's University is already where his hard work is concentrated.

The crown prince, Li Chengqian, stood up for himself, and also used a very official language. Needless to say, he wanted to formally define and define Cheng's University.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had an extremely good memory, cleared his throat, and swept past a group of civil and military officials expressionlessly.

"The way of a university is to be clear and bright, to be close to the people, and to stop at the ultimate good. Knowing the end and then having a certainty.

When you are calm, you can be quiet, when you are quiet, you can be at peace, when you are at ease, you can worry, and after you think, you can gain. Things have their roots and ends, and things have their beginnings and ends. Knowing the sequence of events is the shortest path..."

A group of gentlemen who had read poetry and books shook their heads frequently, but these hanging book bags were not very friendly to the military ministers.

Cheng Sanlang, who is proficient in everything from Wen Tao to Wu Lue, also couldn't hear clearly. He obviously felt that he understood it, but he didn't seem to understand it all.

However, Li Chengqian also seemed to have noticed that some of these audiences were rough men with low education levels.

Soon, he explained the way of the university in a more easy-to-understand language, and combined it with everything he saw in Cheng's University.

It can be said to be a very typical combination of practice and theory, and it also made Cheng Sanlang understand what the prince wanted to express.

University: In ancient times, it had two meanings: the state of "knowledge"; the opposite of "elementary school", "the learning of adults".

In ancient times, children went to elementary school at the age of eight, and mainly learned cultural lessons and basic etiquette such as "sweeping, coping, advancing and retreating, rites, music, and numbers".

After the age of fifteen, they can enter university and start to study ethics, politics, philosophy and other knowledge of "poor principles and righteousness, self-cultivation and self-government".

However, in the view of His Royal Highness, Cheng Sanlang's actions are more in line with the meaning of erudition.

After all, whether it is an official, or a construction, or a mechanical production, or weaving more beautiful and high-end fabrics.

Or how to increase the grain output of Datang, every subject requires a lot of learning to master.

In Cheng's University, each professional system is like a road, leading those young talents of the Tang Dynasty to a higher level of various systems.

So, doesn't Cheng's University represent the meaning of erudition? As long as you are willing to learn something, Cheng's University can meet your needs.

Moreover, every professional system is serving Datang.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly, but his heart was quite shocked. Even though he had a deep understanding of what he saw and heard today, it was not as clear as Li Chengqian's statement.

This made Li Shimin feel relieved that the prince has really grown up and has his own judgment.

It seems that the observation of politics these days has not been in vain.

And he was able to express his thoughts fluently and without timidity in the face of civil and military officials.

This made Li Shimin seem to have seen the cubs have grown up gradually, and began to roar towards this vast world to prove his existence.

And Cheng Chubi really had the feeling of being impressed after three days of farewell. He really didn't expect that the prince who was undressed and full of flesh would express himself so successfully.

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Fang Xuanling stood up first, saluted Li Chengqian respectfully, and smiled with admiration all over his face.

"His Royal Highness observes the theory of the present and knows the past, and has a unique understanding of the university's 'erudition'. It also made the old minister suddenly realize that this is the essence of Cheng's University recruiting students, teaching and educating talents..."

With Fang Xuanling boasting so much, all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were naturally unwilling to be outdone, and they all echoed their words.

Li Shimin on the side smiled very happily, patted Cheng Sanlang's shoulder with his big hand, and said in a deep voice.

"My son-in-law's university is well built and taught even better. I am an official of the Tang Dynasty, and I emphasize the Four Books and Five Classics, emphasizing poverty, rationale and righteousness, and self-cultivation and self-government.

But there is no such thing as cultivating talents for various industries in the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, there is a good son-in-law. "

"From today onwards, like all the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, the principal of Cheng's University will grant him the official position of Xuezheng, and will also give him a thousand catties of gold and fifty pieces of fertile land, as the capital for the university to support the students."

"Next year, I will take the imperial examination to select scholars. I have decided to increase the number of candidates from all disciplines except Jinshi, Xiucai, and Mingjing..."

#####

In the end, Li Shimin led a group of civil and military officials to leave Cheng's University with satisfaction.

As for Cheng Sanlang's cronies and friends, they stayed in the school with Cheng Sanlang and ate a feast of slaughtering pigs.

After His Majesty's arrangement, Cheng's University is still not under the management of the Imperial College, but it has also been certified by the emperor.

This represents the imperial court's recognition and praise for those technical officials who study all walks of life~lightnovelpub.net~ Similarly, the teachers and students in Cheng's University are also very excited. Come to the school to inspect and inspect, and also gave a great affirmation to the teaching work of learning.

For a group of humble scholars who have accepted the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism since childhood, they definitely feel happy.

Some students even rushed back to the house to write letters to their families after seeing His Majesty and his party off, and they must tell their families the great news.

While eating and drinking with friends, Li Deju approached Cheng Sanlang and kept asking about the fairy basket.

Facing the old brother's inquiries, Cheng Sanlang naturally would not hide his secrets, and proudly showed off the various functions of that thing, and since this thing has been produced, it is natural to give it to the Hantang Commercial Bank's own fleet of sea-going ships. on the whole.

After all, with such a good treasure, the safety factor and exploration range of Hantang Commercial Bank's sea-going ships will be greatly improved when they are engaged in ocean-going trade.
