Wanli smiled and said, "I did not say that I only selected talents from Yinuo Academy. All colleges can recommend talents. The specific matters will be discussed by the cabinet and the Sili Supervisor."

"I obey the order."

"I'm a little tired, so let's stop here today."

Immediately someone took Wanli to his residence.

Naturally, this place is not as luxurious as the old Lu Wang Mansion. It is very simple. It is composed of small courtyards, but it has a unique scenery. Especially in this autumn, the thick fallen leaves on the forest path are blown up by the refreshing majesty, which makes people want to recite a poem to express their emotions.

However, many ministers were not in the mood to recite poems and write counter-measures, and the impact of Kaifeng Prefecture on them was far greater than that of Weihui Prefecture.

After Wanli left, Zhang Heming, Chen Younian, Wang Jiaping and Li Sancai immediately surrounded Gu Xiancheng and Gao Panlong.

"Mr., what's going on? You are in charge of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Confucianism... has become no longer valued." Zhang Heming asked incrediblely.

Along the way, we were discussing arithmetic and science, but we didn’t see anyone talking about Confucianism.

Before, it was unimaginable.

Although I had experienced a storm of abolishing the dominant priest before, from the perspective of the capital, Confucianism is still very strong. The ideas passed down for thousands of years cannot be destroyed overnight, because Confucianism has been integrated into the entire Chinese nation, so it cannot be abandoned!

They think that the situation in Kaifeng Prefecture must be better than that in the capital.

It seems even worse now!

Gu Xiancheng sighed and said, "It's all because of one sentence!"

"What do you mean?" Wang Jiaping asked.

"It's what Guo Dan often said, it's bustling and bustling, all for profit."

Gu Xiancheng said: "About this, I have also done some research on Panlong and others. For most young students, there is basically no hope in competition in Confucianism, but in terms of arithmetic and mechanical, it is fair for everyone, because there is only one answer to these subjects, and it is not to follow the crowd. Some talented young students can make a name for themselves quickly. Even if they cannot become officials for a while, they can shine in all walks of life and apply what they have learned. This is the pursuit of every scholar."

Zhang Heming and the others couldn't help but frown.

Gao Panlong said: "Maybe Guo Dan had been planning for this several years ago."

"Several years ago?"

Zhang Heming couldn't help but be shocked and said, "How do you say this?"

Gao Panlong sighed: "When Guo Dan first came to Kaifeng Prefecture, he published an article called 'The Road to Growth'. Do you guys know?"

Wang Jiaping and the others nodded one after another.

This article was very famous at that time. They had read it, but it was written by Aunt Xu.

Gao Panlong said: "At that time, many people didn't agree. However, the fact is that the situation in Kaifeng Prefecture is exactly the same as that article. Today's Confucianism is divided into two ends. The benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness advocated by Confucianism are regarded as self-cultivation education. However, in the middle, the family and governing the country was replaced by the 'art' advocated by Guo Dan. The final peace of the world returned to Confucianism, and everyone was in the stage of peace of the world. However, all the students in this academy are on the road from self-cultivation to governing the family and the country, and they have to learn more abilities."

Zhang Heming asked, "Brother Xian thinks so?"

Gao Panlong smiled bitterly and said, "This is already the consensus of Kaifeng Prefecture. Not only Yinuo Academy, but also Nanjing Academy and Shandong Academy have re-formulated education courses based on that article. Now, it is difficult for Kaifeng Prefecture to have a foothold if it denies this point, because in the eyes of young people, those who deny this view just want to protect their own interests and prevent young people from catching up. This can only be said that Guo Dan's methods are too powerful. He accurately grasped the mentality of young people and created a series of successes, so that young people are willing to believe him."

"You can't say that."

Gu Xiancheng waved his hand and said, "The reason why Guo Dan was successful is because he said it was a fact, rather than spreading rumors and slandering it out of thin air. Did those who defended Confucianism before all for Confucianism? I don't think so, it's mostly for their own power.

All the ministers in the court came from Confucianism, but look at how many corrupt officials were in the court before, this is something that everyone knows. Confucianism collapsed overnight, so it would be a day of cold. Regardless of Guo Dan, Li Zhi and others, they are opposed to the principles and religions and sages, but before Guo Dan, they also received a lot of support. But I think this is a good thing, and can help Confucianism clean up some treacherous, incompetent, and useless people, and let the whole country return to the right path."

Wang Jiaping nodded slightly when he heard this. If he did, he would be more at ease. He has always supported Confucianism, which has never changed. Moreover, he still believes that virtue is very important and must be ranked first. People without virtue are not useful. If they still educate benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness since childhood, then he would be relaxed.

The two saints of Confucius and Mencius should still be respected.

As for the ethics, he doesn't care if he changes some things.

Gu Xiancheng suddenly said to Zhang Heming again, Li Sancai: "Do you know why you have been defeated repeatedly in Guo Dan's hands?"

Both of them looked at Gu Xiancheng in confusion.

Gu Xiancheng smiled and said, "That's because Guo Dan never regarded you as enemies. If he really regarded you as enemies, how could you stand here today? He actually has many opportunities to drive you out of the court. Because his purpose has always been very clear, he is to do business in a big way. He will not get any benefits when targeting you.

But you have always regarded Guo Dan as your biggest enemy, and have always been against people but not things. Whether Kaifeng Prefecture and Weihui Prefecture are good or bad is visible to the naked eye, and all you see is Guo Dan's success. In your heart, Guo Dan's success is your failure. How can you be invincible with such a mind?"

Zhang Heming and Li Sancai were both ashamed.

In fact, like Wang Jiaping and Gu Xiancheng, they truly achieve unity of knowledge and action, and their hearts are open and honest. They are sure of Guo Dan's success, and even blind people can see it, but they also have some disagreements. Gu Xiancheng was very unhappy with the utilitarian ideas advocated by Li Zhi and the others, so he came to Yinuo Academy to serve as the dean.

But interestingly, in terms of major issues, they often think of together. For example, Li Zhi also agreed with Gu Xiancheng's practicality. He did not object to North School students going to South School to ask for advice. When Gu Xiancheng saw the success of North School mechanical design, Gu Xiancheng immediately started to build this subject in South School. He did not say that you did it, I wouldn't do it, either you or me.

From this we can see that the true meaning of "benevolent people is invincible" means that there is no enemy in the heart of benevolent people, because they are open-minded and cannot target people. They only target things and have no enemies. Of course, they are invincible. Unfortunately, there are very few who can be invincible.
