Chapter 177 Xunzi's Decision
Xunzi did not mention the childish saying of "buying with money".
Maybe there are indeed "blank papers" for sale in the market now, but for the entire Confucianism, this "blank paper" is obviously not enough.
More critical is [printing].
This is the real killer.
When [white paper] and [printing] appeared, for all the people of all schools of thought, the problem they faced was no longer literary communication.
but competition.
It comes from the competition and involution among other schools of thought.
Maybe some people don't want to compete or involve, but it's a pity that when these two things entered the market, all schools of thought and sects have been forced to be involved in this vortex.
This is not a question of whether they want to or not, but that in the ensuing turmoil, if they do nothing, the only thing waiting for them is elimination.
"Mr. Sheng Ping intends to establish an academy in Hanzhong, and wants to invite teachers from all schools of thought to teach."
"Academy?"
Xunzi's eyes moved. As an academic master who had served as a sacrificial wine in [Jixia Academy] three times, he realized something in an instant.
Fu Nian's next answer also confirmed his guess.
"That's right, Mr. Shengping seems to intend to reopen [Jixia Academy]."
"interesting."
Xunzi was silent for a while, then couldn't help showing a smile, then looked at Fu Nian and said, "How many people are you going to take with you from Xiaoshengxianzhuang?"
Fu Niandao: "Sheng Ping Jun set the rules, all scholars who apply for the teacher of the academy need to pass the assessment, and then evaluate the grade. According to the number and grade of the applicant teachers of various schools, different amounts of printing will be given respectively."
"Among them, junior teachers can obtain [-] printed copies, intermediate teachers can obtain [-] printed copies, and advanced teachers can obtain [-] printed copies. The highest-level doctoral students can obtain [-] printed copies."
Xunzi pondered for a moment, then said softly: "In this way, the number of Confucian scholars going to Qin this time must not be too small. In this case, you should prepare a hundred junior teachers, fifty intermediate teachers, and twenty senior teachers for this trip... ... As for the highest level doctor, let me go there myself!"
Hearing the first half of Xunzi's words, Fu Nian didn't say much.
However, when Xunzi finished the second half of his sentence, Fu Nian raised his head in an instant, and said in astonishment, "Uncle, do you want to come out of the mountain in person?"
Xunzi glared at Fu Nian, and said lightly, "What? Can't the old man go?"
Fu Nian quickly shook his head and said: "No~~~ The students are just a little surprised. Why did the uncle suddenly decide to go to Qin in person?"
Xunzi stroked his beard, and said calmly: "It's so interesting...cough cough, what the old man means is that there is such a big commotion in Qin this time, I am afraid that scholars from the seven countries will be involved in this whirlpool. For such an important matter, it is safe for the old man to go to the state of Qin to sit in charge."
"What's more, I have been fascinated by that Lord Shengping for a long time. I can just take advantage of this opportunity to meet him."
"in addition······"
Speaking of this, I saw Xunzi squinting at Fu Nian, especially focusing on the obvious protruding belly of the other party, and said in a neutral way: "The old man also wants to see and see, that holy man What is so magical about Mr. Ping's territory, that it can make you undergo such a 'dramatic change' in just a few months?"
Fu Nian: "..."
"Okay, the old man is tired, you should step back and get ready to go!" Xunzi waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Fu Nian responded, but did not leave immediately.
Seeing this, Xunzi slightly opened one eye, glanced at him, and said, "What? Is there anything else?"
Fu Nian elegantly pointed to the blank paper placed in front of Xunzi, and said, "Master, can these 'blank papers'..."
Before Fu Nian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xunzi directly: "These 'blank paper' old men have to study for a while, you can come and get them in a few days!"
Fu Nian: "..."
Xunzi: "Huh?"
Fu Nian: "Student resigns."
Xunzi: "Yes."
Fu Nian bowed to Xunzi, then turned and left the back mountain courtyard.
Xunzi was sitting in front of the desk with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was closing his eyes and resting his mind.
However, the moment Fu Nian's figure completely left the small courtyard in the back mountain, Xunzi's eyes, which had been slightly closed just now, opened instantly, and then he got up to get a pen and ink from another table.
He spread out a blank piece of paper, and wrote the word "Confucianism" with a splash of ink.
Looking at the traces of ink on the white paper, Xunzi stroked his beard with one hand, and gradually showed a satisfied smile on his face.

at the same time.
Zhao country.
Mohism is different from Confucianism.
In today's era when knowledge books are not popular, most Confucian disciples gather in one place for a long time in order to study knowledge, such as private schools and academies.
Confucian disciples generally seldom leave a fixed place unless they are leaving as a teacher or traveling.
But the Mohists are different.
Most of the disciples of the Mohist school are 'Wanderers', and they take it as their duty to be chivalrous. Therefore, although the Mohist school has a headquarters like the 'Organ City', under normal circumstances, most of the disciples of the Mohist school do not have a fixed residence.
A few years ago, because of Yan Guo's Crown Prince Dan's win over, the number of Mohist disciples gathered towards Yan Guo increased slightly.
But this does not mean that Yan State has become the headquarters of the Mohists.
"Pass my order, immediately summon more than a hundred Mohist disciples to meet in Hanzhong, Qin State." In a large Mohist branch in Zhao State, the Black Man with Six Fingers just walked into the branch, and took out his giant token and ordered.
"Yes, giant... son?"
Although the person in charge of Zhao Guomo's branch hadn't figured out what happened, he subconsciously responded when he saw the "Juzi Token" that Six Fingers Heixia took out.
It's just that when he looked up and saw the image of the six-fingered black man, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
"Juzi, do you have any requirements for the hundred Mohist disciples that need to be summoned?"
"Require?"
The Black Man with Six Fingers stroked his chin, which was becoming more and more tactile, thought for a while and said, "Mohist disciples with high knowledge and good skills are given priority."
Hearing this request, the person in charge of the Mohist Branch of Zhao State was taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Is there no requirement for martial arts?"
Although personal force has little impact on the situation of the entire country, for a sect like the Mohists who have been walking in the rivers and lakes all year round, the level of martial arts is still very useful.
The Black Man with Six Fingers shook his head and said, "No need, what we're going to do this time doesn't require high martial arts."
