World Traveler

"The way of science is to control and utilize all things... It can refine medicines to cure all diseases, make soil fertilizers to ensure a good harvest, and can produce gunpowder to gain the power to split mountains and rocks..."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, looking at the children who were sitting upright below, to give them some time to absorb the information.

Yanan noticed that one of the children raised his hand, so he asked him to stand up and see if he had any questions.

"Master, many people say that you are a cultivator. Is this scientific path the path to immortality?"

Yanan's thoughts suddenly disappeared and he nodded without changing his expression.

"Naturally, once this path is perfected, one will naturally become like an immortal."

I'm not lying, anything is possible.

Perhaps after thousands or tens of thousands of years, with the advancement of science, it might not be impossible to create a portable nano-gold elixir and a nuclear furnace elixir field...

Cultivate cyber immortals and absorb quantum spiritual energy.

Xiao Ai, release the palm thunder.

Tsk, the picture is so beautiful that I can’t imagine it.

Let's get back to the point. The greatest role of the scientific path is not to cultivate cyber immortals, but to use the scientific path to teach arithmetic, law, nature and many other subjects...

Completely abandon the aristocratic and landlord class, select talents from the illiterate peasants, and train them...

After all, the purpose of science is to observe, generalize, summarize, analyze... and ultimately arrive at the truth.

Decades later, using them to replace the original bureaucratic class, especially the clerks, will bring about earth-shaking changes and change people's hearts!

Yanan didn't believe that the order established in this way could continue for three hundred years.

The most difficult part is to cultivate a new generation of talented officials who believe in science! Then, we can achieve a cycle and let them gain benefits, so as to crush and replace the original landlord group.

The landlord, bureaucrat and scholar class, which is about to exit the stage of history, will inevitably launch a frenzied counterattack... and at that time, they will not hesitate to kill!

However, the killing at that time may have nothing to do with Yanan.

In this step of the plan, Yanan basically left the content of what to do next to the students, um... or children?

Anyway, after the basic foundation is laid, it all depends on their self-reliance.

Yanan took them around the world.

"The so-called scientific way is to look at things dialectically. The first lesson is to understand that there is no such thing as unchanging, eternally correct thing in the world, and this is especially true for people!"

Looking at the children below, Yanan added seriously.

"Nothing is always right, including what I say."

Maybe it was just a casual move, and he chose to teach students simply because he was bored, but Yanan still hoped that they could go further.

If we say that the idea of Confucianism is to respect tradition and authority, it believes that the teachings of ancient sages have eternal value.

The idea of science is to encourage questioning and criticizing traditional concepts, and to believe that any theory should be subject to experimental testing and logical scrutiny.

One tends to maintain the status quo, while the other pursues continuous reform and innovation.

………………

In the principal's office, Wei Ju found Yanan again.

"Whoo~"

After taking two sips of the wolfberry tea in the thermos, he looked at Wei Ju in front of him and asked.

"Xiaoju, what happened today?"

I don’t know what happened, but just after I finished teaching the children scientific concepts, Wei Ju came to me in a hurry.

But now, she came to the office, and no one knew what she was thinking. She just stood aside without saying a word.

"I'm planning on going back to see my wife after get off work. If you have anything to say, please tell me now. Or, please come talk to me when you've figured it out."

Yanan stood up from the chair and was about to leave when Wei Ju next to him finally responded.

The expression on his face changed again and again, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally asked Yanan.

"Brother, are you the heir of the Taiping Dao?"

"Peace Road?"

Yanan raised his eyebrows, not understanding why Wei Ju suddenly brought up this.

"It was founded by the great and virtuous teacher Zhang Jue during the Xiping reign of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty..."

After saying that, seeing Yanan touching his chin without any reaction, Wei Ju continued her story.

"The core doctrine of the Taiping Dao is based on the ideal of peace, advocating the establishment of a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom where there is no oppression, hunger, cold, disease, deception or theft, and everyone is free and happy..."

"This teaching is very similar to the future scenario described by Senior Brother, the Sect Leader, so I'm a little uncertain and thinking about it a little more..."

The successor of Taiping Dao...

Yanan was not sure if it still existed in this world, but his Taiping Sword and Taiping Technique were definitely authentic.

Yanan even suspected that this set of things was probably used by Zhang Jiao himself in the past, and then was thrown to him by his master.

So it’s not far off to say that he is the successor of Taiping Dao.

"I see. Your guess isn't far off."

Yanan nodded and acknowledged his identity as the successor of Taiping Dao.

"Between the Way of Science and the Way of Peace..."

Yanan understood what Wei Ju wanted to express.

That is, is the scientific way taught to these children the Taiping Dao with a different name or...

"Don't worry, the children will mainly learn about science. I'm not very interested in preaching religion."

"Senior Brother, what about Confucianism?"

“I don’t forbid it, but it’s not a major.”

He raised his hand to interrupt what she was about to say, and spoke bluntly to Wei Ju in front of him.

"Xiao Ju, if you really want to say something, then hurry up and say it. There's no need to talk about these topics that have been discussed countless times."

The two looked at each other, and after two breaths, Wei Ju told what he had noticed.

"Senior Brother, are you planning a rebellion?"

It was clearly a question, but Yanan heard her affirmation in it.

In fact, Wei Ju had some awareness of this before, but she had never connected it to the rebellion.

It was today's course content that reminded Wei Ju of the Taiping Dao of the past, and thus associated it with the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

At that time, Wei Ju linked all the things together, storing food, making weapons, and recruiting people...

If you think about it carefully…

Isn't this the prelude to rebellion?

This kind of thing was a bit too exciting for Wei Ju, so after class she became confused and decided to find Yanan to find out.

"You noticed that? That's right. After all, Xiaoju, you are very smart. I'm not surprised that you noticed that."

After all, if Yanan doesn't want to get involved, these things will go through Wei Ju's hands, so it's normal for Wei Ju to notice it.

As a traditional Confucian disciple, Wei Ju still felt that rebellion was an act of treason.

But…I have already joined, and am in a key position within the rebel forces???
