"His Royal Highness, King of Chu, what do you mean, from now on everyone will go to your Guanshishan Academy to study science, and no longer need to study the words of saints? By then, people in the world will not talk about benevolence, justice, integrity, loyalty, filial piety and etiquette, and will only focus on interests.

, then can our Tang Dynasty still stand firm?"

Kong Yingda's words were also sharp.

Ordinary people would never dare to bring up the topic of whether the Tang Dynasty is still standing.

However, he is a descendant of Confucius after all. No matter how he tries to commit suicide, he will never die, which is much more reliable than that gold medal for immunity from death.

That’s why we have real freedom of speech.

"Confucius Jijiu, 90% of the people in the Tang Dynasty did not have the opportunity to study Confucianism or read the works of Confucius. According to you, they are all people who do not respect benevolence, justice, integrity, loyalty, filial piety and etiquette?"

Li Kuan directly changed his concept, and Kong Yingda used his own words to refute him.

Needless to say, the effect is absolutely amazing.

Kong Yingda was standing there without looking, his face turning red and white, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

This rhetorical question is itself full of traps.

It's not right for you to say yes, it's also wrong for you to say no.

In fact, the best way to deal with it is for you to say yours and I say mine to muddy the waters.

However, Kong Yingda obviously does not have such a level.

“The development of science and technology has made paper cheaper, made printing more efficient, increased the income of more people and craftsmen, and given more people the opportunity to receive education and learn Confucianism and science.

From this perspective, the development of science has promoted the expansion of the scale of Confucian learning. Kong Jijiu, why do you prefer to put Confucianism and science on opposite sides?"

"In the pre-Qin period, hundreds of schools of thought flourished, and so many classics were passed down. When Confucianism began to be the sole focus, hundreds of years have passed, and not many classics have been added. In my opinion, is this science good or not?

, in the final analysis, it must be judged whether it is conducive to improving the technical level of all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is conducive to enhancing the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty, and whether it is conducive to improving the living standards of the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Kuan once again presented the "three benefits" he had stated to Li Shimin.

Kong Yingda was at a loss for words and had no way to refute the "three benefits".

Of course, Li Kuan did not want to be serious with Kong Yingda on such an occasion, so he quickly changed the topic to the award ceremony of the Datang Royal Science and Technology Award.
