"Why do I feel like I might be eating dog food anytime, anywhere at work in the future?"
Zhao Jun looked at the two people and murmured.
"Dog food?"
Qingliu heard it, but she didn't understand what it meant.
"Ahem, sir, you just said you were going to look for those scholars? I'll go with you."
Fusu covered his mouth and coughed twice before changing the subject.
"Uh, yes, you're here just in time. Let's go together."
Zhao Jun also collected his thoughts. It was indeed a long time since he had wasted time, so he had to get down to business.
Fusu brought them to the special accommodation prepared by the Ministry of Education for scholars from hundreds of schools of thought.
As soon as they arrived, they attracted everyone's attention.
Since the primary school was opened, everyone has witnessed the enthusiastic scene and witnessed Qin's determination in this regard.
More importantly, this is indeed a good thing that benefits all people.
Now the atmosphere in the entire Qin State is unprecedentedly good. Under the intentional or unintentional guidance of Zhao Jun, people's perception of Ying Zheng's usual violent image has changed.
Everyone began to think that he was a good king who was good at employing people and caring for the people.
With such a vivid example before their eyes, how could the scholars not be excited?
But just when everyone was waiting for Zhao Jun to call them to get started, they were left out for more than half a month.
Everyone was very nervous.
Now, seeing that Zhao Jun and Fusu had arrived, they were very excited.
Soon Fusu gathered all the scholars in a special room, waiting for Zhao Jun's arrangements.
After everyone arrived, Fusu arranged seats for everyone, and everyone sat down and prepared to listen to Zhao Jun's speech.
Fusu himself was very excited and he also wanted to learn.
"Then let's get straight to the point and discuss our ideas. We've already wasted quite a bit of time."
At times like this, she becomes very serious and doesn't like to talk about irrelevant topics.
"Let's first talk about my vision for college, and then you can share your opinions."
She had said hello beforehand and continued.
"First of all, the construction of a university is very different from that of an elementary school. It is much more difficult and more professional. The students we will recruit in the future are young people with knowledge and insights. They are not like elementary school students who know nothing. Therefore, the pressure on university teachers will be much greater."
The seated scholars listened in silence.
Mr. Shi Si and Lu Yu looked at each other.
"Let's not worry about the students for now. Let's talk about what's relevant to you all first. What courses will the university offer? This is closely related to you all."
"First of all, you don't have to worry about the Legalists, Medical Doctors, and Agriculturalists. These three courses have been decided long ago to be offered."
"As for the other doctrines, I will decide based on the 'teaching plan' I asked you to compile earlier."
Fusu below was somewhat puzzled, and the scholars also frowned.
Zhao Jun paused for a moment and waited for them to ask questions.
"Excuse me, sir, wasn't it confirmed that all of our theories were selected for the university? Could it be that some of them were screened out?"
The gentleman who was speaking was Yu Yanzhi, a famous scholar.
What he asked was also the common question of all scholars except those three.
"It's not that they are screened out, but it may affect the number of students actually enrolled."
Everyone was puzzled when they heard this.
"That brings me to my vision for a college course."
Zhao Junfu began to explain again.
"To put it simply, I will tell the academics how many subjects we have in the university, and then let the students choose the courses they want to study."
"As for the three schools I just mentioned, as long as there are students willing to learn, everyone can sign up."
"But other theories might be different. If I read your lesson plan and feel that what you're teaching doesn't align with reality or seems maliciously provocative, then even if many students are willing to take your class, it won't work because there are only a few spots available."
"You all understand what I mean, right?"
After saying this, she looked at Fusu who was sitting next to her.
I saw him and Mengzhi writing furiously with paper and pen that they had gotten from somewhere.
The hundreds of scholars present had already understood, but the facts were a little hard to accept, so everyone remained silent.
"Sir, is this also true of Confucianism?"
Mr. Shi Si had no doubts about this, but it was Lu Yu and his courtesy name Huanhua who asked about it for him.
Confucianism is indeed a most special doctrine. Everyone knows that Confucianism and Legalism have always been the most incompatible. Is this also true for Confucianism?
Fusu, who was writing furiously, stopped. He also wanted to know. After all, he preferred Confucianism to the cruel Legalists.
"no."
As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, some people felt a little happy, because after all, there was someone at the bottom.
Fusu felt a little regretful, but Shi Si himself had no expression and was still smiling happily.
Zhao Jun pursed his lips and smiled, taking everyone's reactions into consideration.
"Confucianism is indeed unique. It is different from other schools of thought. I agree with the Confucian teachings of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, especially the teaching of propriety and kindness. I think this is very conducive to shaping a humble and honest personality."
"So after I've looked at the Confucian teaching plans and screened the content, it will become a public course."
In his mind, Mr. Zhao wanted to compare Confucianism with modern ideological and moral courses, deleting some descriptions of politics and retaining only the shaping of excellent character.
"Public courses?"
At this point, Si Cai showed some doubts, but still looked at Zhao Jun with a smile, ready to ask the reason.
"Whether students choose a school of thought or philosophy, they must study Confucianism."
Fusu's eyes lit up instantly, Lu Huanhua smiled and touched his beard, and the others also reacted.
Is this the bottom?
This is clearly a huge favor.
In this way, wouldn't Confucianism not have to compete and could attract all the students at once?
Everyone's expressions changed again and again, from pride to envy.
"Brother Zikang, this is great news."
Lu Huanhua poked him in the back.
"Of course, I will also strictly screen the Confucian teaching materials and the content they teach."
We cannot allow well-intentioned thoughts and morals to become a place of Confucian feudal education. We must always take its essence and discard its dross.
"Thank you, sir."
Shi Si stood up with his gray hair and bowed respectfully.
"So, everyone knows the purpose of the lesson plan, right? Everyone must complete it carefully. This is also the key to spot-checking your lessons in the future."
Zhao Jun continued to add.
"Sir, you just said that students can choose the doctrine they want to study. How to choose? I'm afraid some of you are not very familiar with our respective doctrines."
The one who stood up to ask the question was Yuannong. Their agricultural theory did not have much reputation. Even if adults supported them, there might not be many students willing to learn it?
"I understand the problem you're talking about, so we'll hold a few days of open classes before each student officially chooses their course."
Open class?
