C374 Advice (1/2)
Zhao Yiming's words were like a gush of wisdom to these people, causing them all to feel intoxicated from listening, their hearts filled with admiration.
Zhou Huizhong immediately cupped his hands and said: ”Young Master Zhao is indeed an astute person, but I am still not able to understand all of this, I wonder if Young Master can explain it in detail.”
Zhao Yiming glanced at the scholars around him, then suddenly laughed: ”I have a little alcohol energy, I don't know if Young Noble Yan would be able to find a place to stay? Let me take a rest first, to recuperate.”
Yan Feiyun immediately understood what he meant, laughed and said: ”This is indeed my fault, Young Master Zhao, please follow me to the study room to rest.”
Not long after the two of them stood up and left, Zhou Huizhong coughed lightly and said, ”Since Young Master Zhao is already tired, let's go back first!” After which, he brought the scholars out in a line.
After walking a short distance away, Zhou Huizhong said to Chen Zhengming, ”Lead the fellow students and return to the academy first! I still have some things to do. I'll go back later. ”
Chen Zheng Ming nodded and called out to everyone to follow him to the academy. However, a few of them had strange expressions on their faces.
When all the students had left, Zhou Huizhong quickly ran to the back door of the Yan family and jumped over the wall. After that, he headed straight for his study. Since Dong Xiaocheng handed the academy to him, he decided that he would do everything in his power.
He pushed open the door of the study and walked in. and Yan Feiyun was drinking tea there, and when the two of them saw him, smiles hung on their faces.
Zhou Huizhong made a formal bow to Zhao Yiming and said, ”Please enlighten me, Young Master Zhao.
Zhao Yiming casually waved his hand and said: ”I do not dare to say that I'm confused, we are just chatting casually, the words today came out of my mouth and entered your ears, but I did not say anything when I stepped out of the door.”
Zhou Huizhong immediately nodded his head and said: ”Young Master Zhao has been resting in the study room, and I have already brought the students back to the Orthodox Academy. During this time, I even drank a bowl of tea at the teahouse.”
A smile hung on Zhao Yiming's face as he said, ”That can't be better. Actually, I think that your Orthodox Academy has committed an extremely serious mistake. As a Orthodox Academy, who are you serving?”
Yan Feiyun immediately blurted out, ”Of course it's for the sake of the Yin students, at the same time, for the sake of nurturing sufficient talents for the empire.”
Zhao Yiming shook his head and said: ”I can only say that what you have said is nonsense, let me tell you, you are serving the ruling class, or you are serving the people who have the final say.
What these people need does not need to be developed to a certain degree. What they need is people without ideas, and what you need to do is not to develop the wisdom of the people, but to help them fool the people.
They did not need talented people. What they needed were thousands and thousands of their own people, people who could have all kinds of ideas, but who could not question the ruling class at all.
”If you can't do this, you won't be able to gain the support of the ruling class. If you keep on developing people's wisdom and let the people know what is right and wrong, then you won't be far away from destruction.”
Zhou Huizhong frowned and said, ”I don't agree with Young Master Zhao's words. If that's the case, then what hope does the Empire have? All of the citizens are fools, how can we take back what we lost back then?”
