The most arrogant in history

Chapter 368 Collision and friction.

Ye Kun suppressed his laughter and said seriously:

"Teacher Wen, you don't understand this. The era of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend is a great progress in the history of human thought. The collision of ideas and the friction of opinions will promote social progress. In a peaceful and prosperous era, different voices must be allowed."

Wen Ah Xiu rolled her eyes: "I don't know what friction and collision are, I just know that they are a mess and make me unable to concentrate on my work."

Gongsun Erniang gloated on the side: "Brother, your brilliant plan brought peace to the world, but the chaos and chaos have disturbed hundreds of families."

"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't called a foul conversation, it's called friendly communication, okay?"

Ye Kun didn't want to argue, so he smiled and said, "When I have time, I will invite all the teachers from Baijia Academy to hold an academic conference. Please notify Teacher Wen and hold an academic exchange meeting in three days."

"Okay, I want to see how you, a leader of the Mohist school, can defeat all other schools!"

Wen Axiu nodded, with some anticipation in her eyes.

The next morning, Ye Kun first asked his personal soldiers to bring Jiang Youbao and his wife back and meet them in the inner hall.

After not seeing each other for more than a year, Jiang Youbao and Xue Sangu had both become much darker and stronger.

It is labor that trains people.

Seeing Ye Kun, Jiang Youbao clasped his fists and saluted: "Greetings, King Hanzhong..."

"Brother, you're welcome."

Ye Kun waved his hand, asked Jiang Youbao and his wife to sit down, and asked, "Do you two still hate me?"

Jiang Youbao said respectfully and calmly:

"The King of Hanzhong enforced the law impartially for the sake of the great cause of the world. I made a mistake myself and deserved the punishment. How dare I feel resentful? In governing the world, law and discipline come first. I have also learned from my mistakes and will work hard to maintain law and discipline in the future and serve the King of Hanzhong."

Damn, is your awareness so high?

Ye Kun couldn't help but be stunned, and then he understood that this brother-in-law must have an expert guiding him!

But who can give guidance to my brother-in-law?

In Chengdu, it seems that Guan Yafu is the only one?

So Ye Kun smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, why do these words sound like what Guan Yafu said?"

Jiang Youbao was shocked, looked up and said, "So you know everything? This is what Guan Yafu taught me!"

"Hahaha……"

Ye Kun almost burst out laughing, and waved his hand:

"Okay, brother-in-law, you and sister-in-law should stay in the palace and do some work. I will arrange other tasks for you after a while. By the way, if you have no money to spend, go to your sister, and don't do anything to embarrass me."

"Thank you, King Hanzhong, and thank you, his uncle."

Jiang Youbao and his wife finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering and expressed their gratitude together.

Ye Kun asked Jiang Youbao to be responsible for the guarding of the palace, and asked Xue Sangu to continue to be responsible for the purchase of daily necessities for the palace.

These are all lucrative positions. Even if you don't engage in corruption, there will be people who give you money as a gift.

Two days later, the academic exchange meeting of hundreds of schools was held as scheduled.

This was the first academic and ideological exchange conference under Ye Kun's administration, and more than 200 people in total were invited, including celebrities from Chengdu, heads of various university departments, academic masters from hundreds of schools, and outstanding student representatives.

In the midst of turbulent times, being able to hold such a grand event was praised as a great story by all walks of life in Chengdu.

The conference lasted for three days. Representatives from hundreds of schools received notice two days in advance and made some preparations.

In the university auditorium, Ye Kun invited everyone to take a seat.

Ye Kun also put a lot of thought into the design of this auditorium. After experiments with architects, he decided on a dome and a perfect circle to facilitate sound gathering and echo so that everyone can hear clearly.

Three microphones were designed above the podium, reaching directly to the last row of seats in the auditorium.

On the dome, there are more than a dozen open leather drums inlaid, which can generate vibrations and amplify sound waves.

After actual testing, when the person on the podium raises his voice slightly, the entire conference room can hear it clearly.

It is said that there was a large theater in ancient Rome, which was designed to be open-air and circular. Even without large speakers, the more than 10,000 spectators on the scene could clearly hear the speaking and singing on the stage.

If it is true, the design of the Roman Theater is even more awesome than the auditorium designed by Ye Kun!

After everyone sat down, Ye Kun stood up and said:

"Dear teachers, we are holding a hundred academic conference today for better communication, mutual learning, and complementation. Our ultimate goal is, first, to prosper the culture of our Chinese country and enrich our thoughts. The other is to find a set of universal ideological theories to govern the country and benefit the people...

Now, I would like to announce the charter of the conference and several research directions.

The conference lasted for three days. On the first day, representatives of various academic schools gave speeches and introduced their own academic works; on the second day, the hundreds of schools of thought debated with each other; on the third day, the results of the conference were summarized and a preliminary consensus was reached.

After the charter was read out, Ye Kun asked the representatives of hundreds of schools to come on stage one by one, give speeches and explain their own theories.

Each representative is given a quarter of an hour, or half an hour.

The first day was occupied by various schools of thought.

Everyone’s speeches were very exciting, fully demonstrating the essence of their own theories.

Ye Kun listened attentively and gained a lot of knowledge, further understanding the general essence of the various schools of thought.

The debate on the second day was even more exciting, with sharp words going back and forth.

Ye Kun encouraged everyone to speak boldly without any taboos, and to let the collision and friction of ideas be more intense!

The old men from the Hundred Schools of Thought were arguing more and more excited, and were almost about to roll up their sleeves and fight.

However, the Mohists did not participate in this debate.

After the debate ended that day, Ye Kun, Wen Axiu, Gongsun Erniang, Ding Ding, Pang Jiasun Yi, studied the advantages and disadvantages of the various schools of thought together to prepare for the summary on the third day.

The third day was Ye Kun’s special performance.

Ye Kun clasped his fists towards the people around him and said with a smile:

"These two days, the speeches and debates by the teachers were very exciting. I learned a lot and understood a lot, and deeply felt the long history and profoundness of our Chinese civilization.

But I think that no matter which school of thought one belongs to, one must focus on practicality, which is called learning for practical use. "

The general direction is to govern the country and bring peace to the world, and to benefit the people of the world. So I think that after learning and applying, we should add a sentence, which is "people-oriented".

Learning for practical use, people-oriented - this is the direction that our Baijia School will focus on in the future. I would like to make these eight words the motto of the university and pass them down from generation to generation. What do you think? "

Wen Axiu picked up the chalk and wrote eight big words on the blackboard: "Apply what you have learned, and put people first."

The Taoist representative Tang Ji, who was also Zhang Mi's senior disciple, stood up and said:

"I think it's inappropriate. We can't overemphasize the purpose of reading, otherwise it will lose its true nature. We Taoists emphasize 'ruling by doing nothing, following the way of nature'. These eight words are the true meaning of heaven, earth and nature..."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

Tang Ji turned his head and said angrily: "What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"

"Mr. Tang is not wrong..."

Ye Kun waved his hand to stop the quarrel and said seriously:

"If it is a peaceful and prosperous time, the Taoists follow the laws of nature and rule by inaction, which is naturally acceptable. But in today's chaotic times, if Taoists still advocate rule by inaction and do nothing, then they are being irresponsible to the people of the world.

I have discussed this with the great Taoist priest Zhang Mi. In troubled times, Taoist disciples should stand up and change from doing nothing to doing everything, to stabilize the country and benefit the people! "
