Lu Ya slowly stood up and swept his gaze below before continuing,"
"Chongba, you have to understand one thing. Not everyone who is good at studying is suitable to be an official.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and didn't quite understand. He asked,"
"State Preceptor, what do you mean?"
Scholars might not be officials, but officials were definitely scholars. This had always been a tradition in China.
If they didn't let the talented scholars become officials, would they let the stupid people become officials?
Lu Ya smiled and slowly said,"
"Of course, if you want to be an official, you have to know how to read. But I'm talking about people who are good at reading.”
Lu Ya said as he walked,
"Those who are truly suitable to be an official are those who are very capable in handling matters and have a strong ability to solve problems.”
"This kind of person can't be learned by reading books. It depends on the practice accumulated over time. It depends on communication with the people to solve the difficulties of the people.”
Lu Ya poured a glass of wine for himself and another for Zhu Yuanzhang. He drank a mouthful of wine to moisten his mouth and continued,
"To govern the people, one does not rely on the words of those useless saints in the school, nor does one rely on the words of Confucius, nor does one rely on the moral theory of eliminating human desires.”
"Confucius knew how to read, but he only knew how to speak empty words. The person who really did things was Qin Shihuang.”
"Chongba, to be fair, Qin Shihuang was much greater than Confucius, but he was scolded for thousands of years.”
"Confucius 'teachings may sound grand, but it's actually full of chaff and hypocrisy.”
"Which family in the Hundred Generation Dynasty didn't inherit Qin Fa? The Confucians were full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, and they were full of thieves and prostitutes.”
Lu Ya looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and suddenly smiled.
"In my opinion, the real heroes are still those uncouth people. When we look at history, we can look at his background and life experiences, such as the founding emperor Liu Bang, or you, Chongba…"
"Liu Bang's success is actually related to his background. Liu Bang was able to defeat Xiang Yu because he was different from Xiang Yu, who was born into a noble family. He was more familiar with social life and understood the psychology of the people.”
"Or you, Chongba. Was it really a coincidence that you succeeded? No, you were born as a commoner and have a deep understanding of the sufferings of the people. Along the way, you have gained a large number of people's hearts.”
"This is actually a case of the lowly triumphing over the noble.”
Pausing for a moment, Lu Ya laughed and said,"
"You can also understand it as…a person with low education defeating a person with high education.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lu Ya blankly.
This was the first time he had heard of such a theory.
All along, Zhu Yuanzhang had always felt inferior when facing those Confucians. Compared to them, he was just an uncultured brute.
But now, the state preceptor has started to clear the name of us uncouth people.
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice,
"The state preceptor is right. I really want to do something and don't want to listen to you say it every day.”
"That's right!" Lu Ya smiled and said,
"Chongba, you don't need to have any inferiority complex. I want to tell you that the uncouth makes the difference.”
Since ancient times, most capable emperors were born uncouth. Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty was the most powerful emperor.
Liu Jing advised him not to build the capital in Luoyang, but to build the capital in Chang 'an. He immediately went to Chang' an.
The chasm was divided. Xiang Yu led his troops to retreat eastward. He also wanted to rest in Chang 'an. Zhang Liang said that there was no treaty, and that they were going to attack. Xiang Yu immediately listened to Zhang Liang's words and advanced eastward.
Han Xin requested to be given the title of King Qi, but Liu Bang said no, and Zhang Liang kicked him. He immediately changed his mind and said,"F * ck, if you want to be given the title of King Qi, you should be given the title of King Qi. Why do you need a fake one?"
The Northern and Southern Dynasties Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, the Five Dynasties Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, Zhou, there were a few uncouth people.
There were also a few who were skilled in both civil and martial arts, such as Li Shimin.
Lu Ya said,"
"Look at Liu Bang and the others. Are they very good at studying? No, they weren't good at studying, but they were very capable in doing things and executing tasks. They could even get scholars to help them govern the country.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
"Imperial Preceptor is right!"
Lu Ya said,"
"Back to the original point of the topic. In the future, when you train low-level officials, you have to focus on their ability to do things and their ability to execute, not their level of education.”
"Of course, they can't be illiterate either. This requires the School of Administration to teach them how to read.”
"Also, educate them to love the country and the people. As for other morals and ethics, just talk about them casually. Don't let them become like those sour scholars who say that they are gentlemen all day long.”
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table and said,
"The state preceptor is right. That group of sour scholars are good at learning, but when it comes to doing things, they are really useless.”
Lu Ya smiled and nodded.
"You're worth teaching!"
For example, Liu Bowen, he was indeed a talent, and one of the top academic talents.
In the future, he would probably be a top philosopher, ideologist, and teacher.
It didn't matter if you asked such people to think about philosophy, human nature, or social governance.
With his intelligence, even if he didn't know how to do it in the past, it wouldn't take long for him to learn it at the last minute. He would be able to give a good idea.
Liu Bowen was a true genius in this aspect!
However, if you let such an academic genius become a ruler, it would be irresponsible to the entire country.
P.S. Are there still flowers and tickets? Throw it at me and knock me out!
