"Houqing, are you?"

Looking at Tian Dan with a shocked look on his face, Hou Sheng bowed and said:

"I'm sure Du Pingjun, this matter is really too difficult to deal with."

"As the saying goes, no reward is received without merit. Later, I specially returned these gifts today. I would like to ask two people to count them."

Hou Sheng left after saying that, not giving Tian Dan and Li Jian any chance to continue communicating.

After a silence, Tian Dan said:

"Doctor Li Jian, what do you think?"

Li Jian smiled and said:

"It should be that the Qin and Yan people gave higher prices."

Tian Dan glanced at Li Jian:

"How can you still laugh?"

Li Jian said seriously:

"Thinking about the better, if you can't do anything after this, at least you will get the money back."

Tian Dan was stunned for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter.

"It makes sense, it makes sense."

"Then Dr. Li Jian said, what should we do now?"

Li Jian spread his hands:

"Qi State is Du Pingjun's mother country, Du Pingjun is the envoy of this time. If Du Pingjun's wisdom cannot come up with a solution, how can Li Jian do it?"

Tian Dan smiled and shook his head:

"Doctor Li Jian, sometimes I really think you are my peer, and you're too old-fashioned."

"Let's go, let's go to Jixia Academy."

If you want to select the "Top Ten Attractions that you must visit in Linzi", Jixia Academy is definitely the well-deserved No. 1.

Although this school palace located near Jimen in Linzi is no longer as glorious as the controversy of hundreds of schools of thought in the past, it is still an academic holy place in the hearts of countless scholars all over the world.

Every year, countless scholars come from all over the world just to worship famous teachers in the academy.

Learn the art of slaying dragons and repay the emperor's family.

The carriage stopped, and Li Jian followed Tian Dan down and looked at the school in front of him.

A rather simple door, and after walking in, there is a huge screen wall.

Li Jian stopped in front of the screen wall and watched. There was an article above, densely packed with seal characters from Qi State, depicting the establishment process and glorious history of the Jixia Academy.

One side of the screen wall specifically lists the names of scholars and powerful people from the Academy over the years.

"Men Ke."

"Chunyu Kun."

"Zou Yan."

"Tian Pian."

"Be careful."

"Shen Buhe."

...

Each of them is a famous scholar and powerful person.

Li Jian looked at these names and suddenly a thought emerged in his mind.

If the establishment of Jixia Academy was not just to give advice to the king, but to become a place that purely cultivates talents like a university, will Qi State be more glorious now?

It should.

The reason why Confucianism can go from being ignored in the Confucius and Mencius era to later "abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism" is precisely because Confucius has a teaching but not a distinction to recruit disciples, and the number of Confucian disciples has crushed other schools of thought in terms of the number of Confucian disciples from generation to generation.

When the disciples of the other ninety-nine schools of thought combined are less than the fraction of those of Confucian disciples, they ask them what else to compete with Confucianism?

Even if there is only one decent talent among the 100 Confucian disciples, it can still easily crush other schools of thought!

If Jixia Academy was a university, from which hundreds or thousands of loyal intellectuals who graduated from Qi every year, as long as they lasted for more than ten or twenty years, what would other vassal states use to confront Qi, which had a burst of talent?

Unfortunately, Qi State did not do this.

On the contrary, in the westernmost part of China, the system of "taking law as a religion and officials as a teacher" promoted by Qin finally allowed Qin to continuously emerge with talents and bury the six Eastern countries.

Thinking of this, Li Jian couldn't help but sigh.

"If you practice yourself, you will never regret it. If you have any teachings and no distinctions, what good words are!"

This feeling was heard by several scholars who passed by the screen wall.

A scholar stopped and said in a deep voice:

"I am sorry that I can't agree with what this brother said."

"There is no distinction between teachings and no distinction. It seems to be great kindness and great kindness, but it is not."

"There are fools in the world, mediocre, intelligent, and born to know them."

"The stupid ones have no possibility of teaching, the mediocre ones can teach or not, the intelligent ones can choose and teach them, and those who are born to know can be teachers."

"In this way, knowledge can be inherited, which is the best way to education."

When Li Jian heard the sound, he turned his head and found that it was a young scholar with square face, eight eyebrows, a Confucian crown and a Confucian robe.

Li Jian couldn't help but be curious and said:

"I really wonder if you are a Confucian scholar, and you are so critical of the Master's words."

The scholar said proudly:

"Although the Master was a saint in the world, his words and actions were all inadequate, so he could not be used by the king."

"If my Confucianism wants to truly practice the world, we should reform the Master and Mencius's words and deeds, and take the essence and remove the dross, so that we can truly make a big contribution to the world."

Li Jian bowed:

"Who is your name and who is your master?"

The scholar bowed and returned the gift:

"In Han Fei, my teacher is the high priest of the Academy Palace, Jiu Xunzi."

Li Jian was shocked when he heard this.

Can you meet Han Fei even by the door?

Tian Dan was standing by and smiled:

"It turns out that he is a great disciple under Xunzi, my husband Tian Dan, and Doctor Li, who came here just in time to visit Master Ling."

As Tian Dan finished speaking, the expressions of Han Fei and several other scholars were shocked.

"Du Pingjun Tiandan?"

Among Qi, Tian Dan is definitely a household name.

After being shocked, Han Fei turned his attention to Li Jian:

"It turns out that you are the one who made Xinling Jun lose face and scolded Du Pingjun three times to reveal the truth about the Lou Chang poisoning case."

When several scholars heard this, they turned their eyes and their eyes began to burn.

"Doctor Li Jian is a role model for our younger generation."

"I didn't expect to see Dr. Li Jian here today. I don't know where the doctor stays temporarily, so I have time to accept our visit?"

Li Jian nodded with a smile, responded one by one, and had a kind attitude.

Han Fei watched quietly from the side, and only after Li Jian finished dealing with it:

"Please follow me, I will take you two to see my mentor."

Although Jixia Academy has the word "官网", along the way, Li Jian found that the house furnishings here can only be considered ordinary and have nothing to do with luxury.

Of course, there are not no advantages. The winding paths here are the fragrance of flowers scattered, the shadows of trees are scattered and mottled, and the sounds of reading can make people feel happy involuntarily.

"Studying in such a place is also a joy in life." Tian Dan sighed.

Han Fei smiled and looked at Li Jian with curiosity:

"I wonder why Doctor Li left Zhao State to come here?"

It can be seen that Han Fei is more interested in Li Jian than Tian Dan.

Li Jian smiled and said:

"This time I followed Du Pingjun to the State of Qi and invited the army to go to Handan."
