However, after seeing him, every colleague said that he was stupid. Many people were very disappointed when they visited Zeng Guofan, saying that Zeng Guofan had a false name.
Zhu Jinglun described Zeng Guofan through these external news. He felt that this person is more likely to be a person who knows how to hide others. He can let everyone see that he is clumsy in front of ordinary people, but he can leave the deepest impression on the emperor after meeting him.
That is to say, Zeng Guofan can make people feel that he is a great talent and that he is a fool.
This skill requires a deep understanding.
Another possibility is that those who really know Zeng Guofan say that Zeng Guofan is clumsy, but they are actually praising him, saying that he is still wise and foolish, and boasting his great wisdom in a different way. Those who see through Zeng Guofan really think that he is clumsy.
Zhu Jinglun saw from Zeng Guofan’s letter that this man is at least a man with a sophisticated vision, but he never criticizes others. From the most positive point of view, this kind of thing is that Zhu Jinglun has no such thing. He is often used to seeing the disadvantages first. For example, if foreigners ask for anything, he always wonders whether foreigners have ulterior motives first.
After six months of communication, Zhu Jinglun invited Zeng Guofan to meet him. He planned to personally interview Zeng Guofan and decide whether to ask him to do something. Will Zeng Guofan refuse to be in this position? In fact, the key is to see if things are worth doing. Zhu Jinglun has already seen from his heart that Zeng Guofan is also very interested in this great achievement.
Zhu Jinglun wants to examine whether Zeng Guofan can do this well and whether there are enough ways to do it. Zhu Jinglun has no doubt about other things, whether it is execution or courage
"Zeng Gong has heard his name for a long time. It’s a long time since we met."
Zhu Jinglun personally greeted Zeng Guofan at the gate of the main hall of the palace. He didn’t kneel down and was fuels.
Zhu Jinglun doesn’t care, it’s disgusting, pulling his sleeve and welcoming him into the palace to talk about things in the temple room.
Zeng Guofan was generous, sitting in an armchair and drinking, and the guards made Yingde black tea for him.
Zhu Jinglun observed him silently for a long time and found that this person is really an ugly person with a thin figure and some dark faces and eyebrows, and his expression is very dull and he can’t see any aura.
It’s hard to remember people’s faces like this. I don’t know if he impressed Emperor Daoguang.
Zhu Jinglun observed Zeng Guofan. Zeng Guofan didn’t seem to notice that he was drinking the cup of tea in front of him seriously.
"Zeng Gong has traveled twice in the big official tour. Do seven counties think I am as big as you?"
Zhu jinglun couldn’t look away and broke the silence.
Zeng Guofan said slowly, "The country is very strong and beautiful, the people are very rich, the officials are very clean and the things are very abundant."
It’s equal to not saying that you don’t know anything. Zeng Guofan, a person of status, should be proud to say compliments, but Zhu Jinglun just thinks that such people may not be credible at all.
"Zeng Gong has praised the four words" Wu Fu Min Feng ".Should I still ask Zeng Gong about my education now?"
Zeng Guofan said slowly, "Very good!"
Zhu Jinglun said, "Maybe better?"
Zeng Guofan said, "Great things can be accomplished step by step."
Step by step or talking is equal to not talking.
Zhu Jinglun knows what a fool this guy is, so he won’t tell the truth.
Zhu Jinglun didn’t go around with this person. I believe that I invited him to come. He had already understood the seven-point communication for half a year. Zhu Jinglun didn’t know who Zeng Guofan was. I’m afraid Zeng Guofan had understood himself.
So Zhu Jinglun directly asked, "If I want everyone to read for five years, can it be done?"
Zeng Guofan shook his head.
"Can ten years be a success?"
Zeng Guofan still shook his head
"That can be done in thirty years?"
Zeng Guofan continued to shake his head
Zhu Jinglun simply asked, "Can that be a successful year?"
Zeng Guofan said, "It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to nurture people."
Zhu Jinglun said, "I can’t wait a hundred years. Even if I wait, I’m afraid this country can’t wait. I wonder if you know that all western countries are in general education. There are three people, one reader, three readers, three readers. I can’t wait for you in five countries?"
Zeng Guofan is silent. He may not know that Zhu Jinglun, a righteous education in western countries, can’t see it. Maybe he knows that Zhu Jinglun can’t see it either.
Zhu Jinglun can wait for his attitude.
Zeng Guofan put a cup slowly until he drank a cup of tea dry.
"Things are urgent, slow, slightly urgent and urgent."
Zhu Jinglun asked, "Is there a strategy to slow down?"
Zeng Guofan said, "If you slow down, you will be able to cultivate the yuan. If you persuade good students to study for ten years, you can make great achievements in a hundred years."
Slow method Zhu Jinglun is not interested, although Zeng Guofan said nothing, he is not going to ask.
He asked, "What about the emergency plan?"
Zeng Guofan was silent for a moment before saying, "If you are quick, you can build a Confucius temple and a school in one village, but you can achieve success in three years a year."
Zhu Jinglun’s heart is happy. This old fool really has a way.
Confucius signs to encourage education, this is a way, even if the country squire wants to smash the school, it is impossible to smash the Confucius Temple.
I don’t care that this country is a Confucian country. I don’t care that Confucius’ prestige is too high. Zhu Jinglun didn’t compete for prestige with an old woman who has died for more than 2,000 years. If necessary, he can kneel before Confucius and be the most devout believer. He has to complete his righteous education goal for nearly three years. The popularization of the law of education has been promoted, so it will be better for Zhu Jinglun to go here.
How many temples do you have to build in this village, one temple and one temple? How much does it cost? The biggest problem with the promotion of the method is the funding problem.
Zhu Jinglun asked, "I don’t know how many?"
Zeng Guofan said, "The people are naturally enthusiastic about running a school and doing good deeds. They have money, money, work and work. One county, 100,000 yuan, one government, one million yuan, and one million yuan can be enough for one country."
10 million taels of silver can make Da finish his education in three years. Even if Zeng Guofan boasted that he could have successful children enrolled in school, it would be cost-effective. On average, he only had three million classics a year.
But Zhu Jinglun also wants Zeng Guofan to laugh. "I am willing to pay. Is Zeng Gong willing to work?"
Zeng Guofan looked up at the sky, "Zun Kong Jing’s ancestors are scholars who are naturally willing to do their bit."
Zhu Jinglun smiled. "As Zeng Gong said, there is a good father-in-law, Weng, who paid for the temple."
Said that the two people here are not talking about business, just drink tea and talk about local conditions and customs. Zhu Jinglun said Zeng Guofan listened.
I have been talking about tea for five hours. I talked a lot about Emperor Xianfeng from the sea to new york and China. At the end of the world, Zeng Guofan took the initiative to get up and leave.
Zhu Jinglun is very carefree. Although it is not true that Zeng Guofan did great things, Zeng Guofan could never do great things, but he decided how Zeng Guofan paid for Confucius and Confucianism.
In this way, people like Zeng Guofan, Zhu Jinglun, are of course carefree. He feels that he has caught Zeng Guofan’s head, Jin Ao, with fragrant bait.
However, Zeng Guofan’s figure just left the palace. Zhu Jinglun suddenly felt that although Zeng Guofan spoke very little, it seems that he finally mastered the initiative. It seems that Zhu Jinglun is not fishing for Zeng Guofan, but Zeng Guofan’s Jin Ao has been waiting for the bait.
Whether you are in love or I am willing, the two of them have reached an agreement. Zhu Jinglun, a rich and paid Zeng Guofan, has a job to do with education.
But Zhu Jinglun always feels that something is wrong, and things seem too easy, which is easier than asking him to hire a bank shopkeeper.
Zhu Jinglun suddenly thought of the Swedish education method of setting up a school in a parish so that every Christian can learn, which is similar to Zeng Guofan’s method of one village, one Confucius temple, one temple and one school
Thinking of religion Zhu Jinglun suddenly thought that Zeng Guofan often ran to a foreigner’s church when he left, and was close to the priest. Of course, Zeng Guofan could not believe in foreign religion, but now he wants to build a Confucius Temple in Daxing.
Zhu Jinglun heart suddenly a surprised.
Zeng Guofan wants to stand in the way!
What does Zeng Guofan think? No one knows that he went straight to Guangfu Xuegong after he left the palace.
He went into the Confucius Temple and gave Confucius a wick of incense. Then he knelt in front of the statue of Confucius and looked at him quietly until the incense burned out and knocked three heads respectfully. He didn’t say anything and no one knew what he was thinking. Then he left in silence.
Later, it was discovered that this was Zeng Guofan’s last time to worship Confucius, and it was not until many years later that he once again entered the Confucius Temple.
