Chapter 815
If Lu Feikun was traveling, he definitely wouldn't need to be greeted as soon as he arrived at a place. Therefore, this was not the Crown Prince's fault. It was Lu Feikun who did not explain clearly.
"Your Highness, what you said makes sense. Master Lu didn't say what he was here for, nor did he say he was coming to Nanli City to teach!"
"That's right! Master Lu suddenly said he wanted to go to Nanli City. Who knows if he's just here for fun or for some other purpose? It seems he didn't even inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in advance!"
"If that's the case, it's understandable that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't go to greet him!"
The scholars and literati fell into self-doubt!
"You just said that if I didn't go to greet Lu Feikun, I would be insulting scholars. That's not true. Although Lu Feikun is a great scholar of the time, what contribution has he made to the people of Daliang?"
"This prince respects those who dedicate themselves to the country the most. Every soldier who kills the enemy for the country is the most respectable. Without them, how can Daliang be stable and prosperous?"
Qin Yu said again.
this......
When the scholars heard the first half of the sentence, they were all filled with indignation!
As a great scholar in Daliang, how could Qin Yu say that Lu Feikun had made no contribution to the people of Daliang?
However, when they heard the second half of Qin Yu's sentence, they fell completely silent. It seemed that this was the truth. Apart from researching and teaching them, Lu Feikun seemed to have no other merits!
Even to teach them knowledge, they have to pay high tuition fees!
As for Lu Feikun's free lectures outside, the knowledge he teaches is actually very superficial. They go to listen just to join in the fun!
Now that they were enlightened by Qin Yu, they increasingly felt that Lu Feikun, apart from being a great scholar, had really made no contribution to Daliang!
"Even if Master Lu has not done anything good for the people, he is so knowledgeable and has extraordinary insights into state governance. He must have made some contributions to Daliang!"
Someone raised an objection!
Qin Yu glanced at the man and said, "Since Lu Feikun became the Minister of Rites of Daliang, has he done anything else besides formulating various etiquette?"
"Even my father suffered at his hands in a matter of etiquette. Could it be that my father was wrong? Everyone in the world knows that my father is the Perfect Emperor!"
"Besides, is etiquette really that important? When the enemy wants to attack us, will they show us etiquette?"
"When the enemy's butcher knife is at your neck, will they refrain from killing you out of courtesy? No! So, is courtesy useful?"
Qin Yu spoke and asked questions one after another!
All the scholars present were stunned and fell into complete self-doubt!
Right!
Are these etiquettes really that important?
When you think about it carefully, it seems that what Lu Feikun taught them the most is etiquette, so they naturally think that scholars should put etiquette first!
But now it seems that etiquette is not that important!
"Your Highness! If scholars don't learn etiquette, what should they learn?"
One person asked in a deep voice.
"Of course, we must learn the skills to govern a country, learn the heart to save the world and the people, and learn the knowledge that can make the world a better place!"
"This knowledge is all-encompassing. For example, if you master the art of building a house, which you look down upon, you can build a house a hundred meters high!"
"The carpentry craft you look down upon, if mastered to a high level, can also produce incredible things. This is all knowledge, all learning!"
"Learning farming and continuous research can also lead to a good harvest, doubling the grain output, or even increasing it dozens of times!"
"By learning the principles of weapon manufacturing, we can research powerful weapons for Daliang. With powerful weapons, no one will dare to bully us!"
