I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

[It feels so good to curse. I have long been fed up with you Donglin Party members...]

Zhang Hong thought happily in his heart.

He coughed lightly and continued, "Back to my previous question, why do you want to study?"

"Isn't it just to have enough food to eat, make more money, and live a good life?"

"Those students who come from wealthy families but have no ambition to make progress. After you graduate, do you want to study or become an official?"

"Isn't that also for the purpose of having enough food to eat and making more money?"

"Some people may want to make money for their family, bring honor to their ancestors, and expand their family."

"Some people may be more selfless, not doing things for themselves, but just wanting to do things for the people of the world. Then I would like to ask these students, how do you want to do things for the people?"

"Isn't it also about letting the people live a good life, have enough food to eat, and have money to spend?"

"Look, everyone in the world is here for profit."

“This [benefit] is the people’s livelihood and a national issue.”

"Our court and all the government affairs of my officials actually come down to the two words 'people's livelihood'."

"It's all about fighting for the benefit of the people!"

Gradually, the students' faces changed, and they felt that Zhang Hong's voice was becoming more and more deafening.

When the students heard the four words "Strive for benefits for the people", it was as if a bolt of lightning had passed through their minds, and everything suddenly became clear to them.

[So this is what Tianzun meant! ]

[Striving for the benefit of the people... I never thought that the Heavenly Master could see the affairs of the country so clearly! ]

The students, who were "poisoned" by the conservative Four Books and Five Classics and had backward ideas, gradually caught up with Zhang Hong's way of thinking.

Suddenly I felt like a brand new door opened in front of me.

Through the crack in the door, I could vaguely see that there was an extremely wonderful and interesting new world behind the door.

I was immediately looking forward to my future study life at Kyushu Academy. I was very curious about what kind of knowledge would be taught here.

"It is human nature to pursue profit. There is nothing shameful about pursuing profit legally and in compliance with regulations. I hope you can keep this in mind."

"Speaking of human nature, I will tell you something that you will learn in the future, the five levels of human psychological needs."

"These five levels, from low to high, are physiological needs, safety needs, belonging and love needs, respect needs, and self-actualization needs..."

"Only when the lower-level needs are met will people spontaneously pursue the satisfaction of higher-level needs. This is why ordinary people who are about to starve to death don't care about your morality, ethics, and shame..."

Zhang Hong threw out some ideas and theoretical knowledge.

The students were fascinated and excited by the new knowledge they had never heard of before.

At the opening ceremony that day, Zhang Hong asked the students a total of three questions.

The second question is: "How to read?"

Zhang Hong told the students that they should seek truth from facts and that practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

The third question is: "What kind of books should I read?"

Zhang Hong broke the students' idea that Confucianism was the only school of thought they respected and other disciplines were looked down upon.

He also criticized mercilessly that learning literature could not save the people of the country, but was just empty talk that would harm the country.

Then take examples of various departments of the court and the new policies.

It is necessary to study in all walks of life, including economics, politics, industry, agriculture and commerce, which is essential for the people to live and work in peace and contentment and for the country to be peaceful and prosperous. There is no distinction between the importance of subjects, and they are all equally important.

Different subjects are suitable for each person. Only by leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and displaying one's strengths in suitable positions, can one maximize his or her value.

Only when a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom can the world prosper and the people's living standards improve.

Zhang Hong spoke earnestly and with good intentions, and spent a full two hours explaining the profound principles to the new students.

He has high hopes for this class of students, hoping that after graduation in three to five years, they will all be able to become independent talents.

Then we can spread the new ideas and new knowledge to more people, one person will tell ten people, ten people will tell a hundred people.

In this way, within a few years, the task of universalizing compulsory education and eliminating illiteracy in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story will be accomplished naturally.

The speech scenes of that day were later recorded by the monks present using a magical tool called the "Photo Stone".

——By the way, this photo stone was also developed by the Academy of Cultivation under the guidance of Tianzun.

Later, every year when new students entered school, the first ceremony of the opening ceremony was to watch the speech of Tianzun.

Because Tianzun raised three questions in this speech, it was later called "Three Questions on Reading".

It becomes a question that every student must study after entering school.

……

The next day, at Jiuzhou Academy of Cultivation.

Unlike other academies, the Cultivation Academy is not located in Jiuzhou City, but on Feilai Mountain outside Jiuzhou City.

It is across the Tianzun Palace at the foot of the mountain.

The Xiuzhen Academy is now a gathering place of many talented people, gathering the essence of all the Xiuzhen sects in the world. It has a strong faculty and the library has a large number of Xiuzhen secrets, which is unprecedented in history.

——All sects that did not obey the orders of the Heavenly Lord have been cancelled.

The sect's inheritance was confiscated, and Zhang Hong personally branded the people's souls and spirits, turning them into slave workers.

Of course, they were treated much better than slaves.

Apart from the fact that life and death are controlled by Zhang Hong, his treatment is no different from that of the monks from other sects.

Some of them who behaved well and truly repented were released by Zhang Hong after they made sufficient contributions.

Nowadays, the professors in the cultivation academy are elders of the Yang Shen realm from various sects, and the teachers are Jindan cultivators. As for the Qi Refining cultivators, unfortunately, they can only be teaching assistants (counselors) or go to work in the Si Tian Academy.

There are five major departments including immortality, Buddhism, demonism, ghost and left-handedness. The required elective subjects include more than 360 courses such as mental skills, skills, refining equipment, alchemy, formation, talisman, corpse refining and poisonous insects.

There are 3,000 students, including the original disciples from various sects, as well as ordinary people with talent for cultivation who were carefully selected from all over the Nine Provinces.

Original disciples from various sects accounted for 10%, and newly selected students accounted for 90%.

Among them, humans account for 70%, and 20% are monsters and 10% are ghosts. Beautiful beast-eared girls and boys, white-skinned and delicate ghost cultivators with smoky makeup can be seen everywhere in the academy, adding a different style to the academy.

The three thousand students are all good candidates for cultivating immortals.

The disciples that were once treasured by all the sects and schools, the geniuses of cultivation that only appear once in a hundred years or a thousand years, have become cabbages on the street.

There are even more than a dozen geniuses in cultivation that are said to appear once in a thousand years.

After all, the old way of recruiting disciples in the cultivation world, where masters would go down the mountain and pick up disciples on the roadside, was really inefficient.

It's just like buying a lottery ticket. It would be strange if you could find any good seedlings.

Unlike the current direct national census, where a careful selection is made from 30 million people, it is guaranteed that no promising talent will be missed.

As a result, something happened that made the former elders of various factions and current professors feel upset and jealous.

【Wrong, wrong! 】

[If it weren't for Tianzun, these good seedlings of cultivation would have been missed! ]

The professors valued talents and understood Zhang Hong’s good intentions.

It turns out that the world of cultivation had missed out on so many good talents before, and it deserved that the sects had declined!
