Chapter 316: Belief in Youth
When Chen Xiuping took out the drawings and explained to the Buddha Saint what the school was, the shock on the Buddha Saint's face was completely unconcealed because what Chen Xiuping wanted to do was simply scary. Chen Xiuping wanted to change the way of education in this world. Not to mention those old scholars, even the Buddha Saint felt that Chen Xiuping was doing something random.
"Do you know, once the school you mentioned is founded, it will change the world? Do you not consider whether you can make money? Are you not afraid of those literati and poets using their writing to attack you? Your school is so scary, I can't pay attention."
The series of rhetorical questions and the last sentence of the Buddha Saint are not sure of attention representing the doubts of the Buddha Saint. This is not that the Buddha Saint is timid, but that what Chen Xiuping wants to do is simply a shocking thing.
"I know it will bring an impact to the world. I don't plan to make money in this school. As for those literati and poets, aren't they just people who are literate and have a higher level of self-righteousness, but they are actually no different from ordinary people. What trouble can their pens and ink cause me? A hundred years later, the evaluation of future generations is the real pens and ink."
Chen Xiuping was very open about infamy. He was a person with mixed praise and infamy in his previous life. He would not be hindered from any reputation in this life. He just wanted to do what he thought was right. As for the evaluation, let him leave it to future generations.
"No, no, I can't make a decision for you. Although this school will not have an impact on the world in a short period of time, it will change again in twenty years. When everyone can read, just say this, it will reduce the dominance of the court."
"Master Buddha, have you only seen the interests of the court in this matter? This is a matter of blessing the entire country, so I hope you will think carefully."
After hearing Chen Xiuping's words, the Buddha Saint was blessed with the whole country. Looking at Chen Xiuping's resolute eyes, she seemed to have returned to sixteen years ago. The man preached the moral of equality of all living beings in front of them. After sixteen years, they all changed. For the sake of the power in their hands, they forgot their former beliefs. For a moment, the Buddha Saint felt that Chen Xiuping was like the man he used to be, so determined and passionate.
After hesitating for a long time, the Buddha Saint finally let go and said to Chen Xiuping: "You go back first. I want to discuss this school matter with the emperor. After all, the matter is too big. I am just representing the support of the court."
In the end, the Buddha Saint issued an order to expel guests. She couldn't grasp the standard of this matter, so let the ruler take it.
"Okay, I know that I'm waiting for the news about the Buddha Saint at home. Master, you must tell the emperor completely about this matter."
After Chen Xiuping left, the Buddha Saint breathed a long sigh. Chen Xiuping's last sudden sentence made her feel very stressed because Chen Xiuping put the decision-making power in her hands. After Chen Xiuping finished narrating the school, the Buddha Saint understood what Chen Xiuping wanted to do, and also realized that once the school was established, it would change the country. That is, reading will not be a glorious thing, but everyone can study. It is indeed as Chen Xiuping said, once this school is established, it will be a blessing to the country, but the impact is too great.
