Chapter 226: Dispute between Farmers and Scholars

"Zheng Bolun, a farmer student from Zheng State, minored in Confucianism and the School of Diplomacy!"

"Chen Hao, a Confucian student from Chen State, minored in Taoism, Yin-Yang School, and Legalism!"

The two introduced themselves, and Zheng Bolun challenged him to speak first in the debate.

"There was a three-year drought. When I was in Zheng State, I often felt unbearable pain in my heart when I thought of the people suffering from the famine. The people had no food at home, fled everywhere, and often died in the mouths of wild beasts. If all countries can attach importance to agriculture, even if there is surplus food at home in the face of a disaster, they will not flee everywhere. Therefore, agriculture should be the foundation of governance."

As the farmer student from Zheng State spoke, an unspeakable emotion emanated from him. People standing far away seemed to be able to understand the hardship of the people without food from him, and everyone nodded in agreement.

After speaking, the farmer student stepped back, indicating that he had finished explaining his point of view.

"Although farmers encourage farming, it can increase production. However, the fundamental reason for natural disasters is that the people are weak and lack the ability to deal with crises. Grain can fill the stomachs of the people, but it may also be plundered by others or wild beasts.

The root cause of the suffering of the people is their own lack of strength and ability to resist risks. The reason why the noble families can survive the natural disaster crisis is that their family foundation is strong. Therefore, to reduce the harm of natural disasters, the fundamental way is to strengthen the body and the family. Only when you have stronger strength can you help others!" Chen Hao said lightly.

When he said this, some viewers felt that he was too indifferent, but Hua Kai knew that Chen Hao was going to win when he heard this. He dug a pit for the other party.

"The various families and noble families are the foundation of the development of the world, but the foundation still lies in tens of millions of people. Countless people died in this natural disaster, which shows that there are still many weak people in the world. It is impossible for everyone to succeed. So should these weak people die?" Zheng Bolun asked.

"No! All things compete for selection, birth, aging, illness and death, the fittest survive. What we can do is to give as many people as possible the opportunity to fight for survival, the weak to take care of themselves and pursue survival opportunities, and the strong to benefit the world and keep this sky for everyone.

What humans fear is not disasters, but the lack of the heart to work hard for the benefit of the world!" Chen Hao said and stopped talking.

Everyone was attracted by the benevolent and righteous heart he just exuded.

Yes! If the world is full of people who just want to fill their stomachs, then the growth of the human race is just to provide food for wild beasts, and the significance of farmers suddenly becomes less important.

"Without strong people, humans will become food for wild beasts. However, without a certain population base, it is difficult for the human race to develop. Most of the people who practiced the Great Wall in the north of Qin were civilians, and the strong also needed a large population..."

Although Zheng Bailun tried his best to defend himself, the balance of victory still shifted step by step to Chen Hao. Slowly, the topic of the two became how to increase the population base and how to lead the people to play a greater role. This is completely in the Confucian way of governing the country. Slowly, Zheng Bailun's power of defense became weaker and weaker.

Two hours later, the first debate ended. Chen Hao won. Zheng Bolun returned to the student seat dejectedly. The giant came on stage to announce the result of the debate.

All the audiences were shocked by the wonderful debate of the two students. Some people were still savoring the confrontation between the two. They didn't expect that the debate was over.

This world debate may be the most exciting program that ordinary people can see, because the students communicate and say the truth they understand, and listening to others' debate is the process of understanding the truth.

Of course, because the debate is a confrontation between two people's knowledge and understanding of the rules, sometimes many people will be injured, affecting their future prospects, and some even die on the debate stage.

It was almost noon when the two debated. The host announced that the second debate would be held in the afternoon. At noon, everyone could go back and learn and experience the content of the morning debate. Some students who were originally full of confidence became serious after watching the first debate. None of the students who can come here are simple.

After lunch in the afternoon, all the students became serious. The 45th Legalist student chose the 12th Famous Scholar as his debate opponent, but he lost miserably. Famous Scholars were good at debate, and with the crushing knowledge, the competition ended in less than half an hour.

Then the host announced that the 44th student would go on stage to choose his opponent.

The 44th Taoist student, who was familiar with the three schools of thought, Confucianism, Yin-Yang, Legalism, and Diplomacy, faced the 43rd Yin-Yang student, who was also a Taoist, Confucian, and Famous Scholar.

Both sides were very careful in the debate, not releasing their opinions at will, and then step by step to find the opponent's flaws. Taoist scholarship is the most profound of all the schools of thought, and Yin-Yang is not bad either. The two debated from noon to afternoon, because their knowledge and strength were similar, and they could not decide the winner.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, torches were lit around the debate stage! This is a night battle!

The audience was happy to hear the two students' understanding of the truth, which drew everyone's thoughts into the debate. The two sides debated from governing the country to geography, from geography to history, and from history to Zhouyi, letting everyone know how rich a student's knowledge was.

After more than six hours of continuous debate, the referee interrupted the game when he saw that the two sides were deadlocked. All the teachers voted collectively, and finally the student No. 44 won by a narrow margin.

Hua Kai saw that the two students' breath was already a little unstable when they stepped down. Their faces were pale and yellow, which was obviously because they had consumed too much energy today. It was not easy for them to recover from the excessive consumption of mental energy today.

Everyone realized the cruelty of debate at this time. All students competed not only in knowledge, but also in willpower.

On the second day, the students of Jixia Academy came on stage. He chose a Qin student who was not much taller than him as his opponent. From the very beginning, he seized the opponent's mistakes and attacked with all his strength. In the end, he took down the opponent in three hours, which was a good start for everyone in Jixia Academy.

In the afternoon, another student from Xianyang Academy selected a student from Jixia Academy, and Jixia Academy won again.

As the number one academy in the world, Jixia Academy is not a boast. The ten of them were selected by students before being sent to Qin State. Moreover, the debate with Hua Kai for so long made them think a lot. Many times, even if they were at a disadvantage, they could defend on the spot and slowly seek opportunities to counterattack, thus achieving the final victory.

After two days of debate, Xianyang Academy stopped for two days. Everyone had to digest the content of the debate in the past few days, and some injured students also had to recover.

Xianyang City soon had five debates in these two days. The content of the debate of ten students was recorded

and recorded in a book, which was very popular in Xianyang City.

Some civilians also learned some of the thoughts of the Hundred Schools of Thought from these debates, and also knew the strength of the knowledge of the Hundred Schools of Thought. These ten debaters have now begun to spread their names in Xianyang City!

Hua Kai came out of the [Family Secret Space] at night. Before his uncle returned to Guang County, the affiliated families of the Hua family had already passed the news back home. All the families in Guang County began to prepare privately, and some people were secretly discussing that the Hua family might be driven away!

Just now, in the [Big Dream Visualization Method] dream space, he recalled today's debate conference. He imagined that if he were one of the debaters, he would quickly defeat his opponent, and he also learned something.

Hua Kai roughly estimated the speed of the debate conference. It would take about two months for all the debates in the first round, and at least three months with the semi-finals and the finals.

On June 5, the debate conference continued. This time, there were more audiences in the audience. Many people were Qin family members in their clothes. They all came to the scene to cheer for the Qin students.

This is the third day of the debate. Everyone actually knows that the top-ranked students are not easy to deal with. They choose opponents who are similar to their own rankings, or find some school students who have restrained their own school theories as opponents, so that their probability of winning can be greater.

The first debate lasted for more than six hours. In the afternoon, the host saw that time was running out, so he ended the debate.

The next day, the 39th Qin student chose the Jixia Academy student again. It seemed that the Jixia Academy and Xianyang Academy were fighting.

Xianyang Academy has now defeated Jixia Academy twice. In the third game, everyone found that the student of Xianyang Academy was actually a military scholar.

To become a military scholar, I don't know how much blood was on his hands. After seeing the two people salute, Hua Kai went on stage and started the debate.

First, the Xianyang Academy learned that the biggest obstacle to the development of the human race lies in itself. Since ancient times, the wars between countries have never stopped. The manpower and material resources consumed in this process far exceed all natural disasters. There are only two ways to prevent wars between all countries and cities. One is to suppress the greed of monarchs and families so that they dare not start wars, and the other is to unify the world.

Hearing the other party's point of view, the students of Jixia Academy were obviously a little flustered. The unification of the world is a taboo for the monarch. Since it is unified, who will unify it? The meaning of the student of Xianyang Academy was very clear, that is, Qin Zheng.

The student of Jixia Academy was defeated in just one hour. He came back and sighed at Hua Kai. This time he was tied up and did not show his strength. The key reason was that the other party had a powerful country behind him, but he did not.

Qi State has not yet dealt with its own affairs, and the Qi family is about to lose power. If Qin State is compared to a tiger, Qin Zheng is the soul of this country, and Qi State is at most a wild bull, a wild bull that has lost its soul.

After the debate, Qin State's ambition was fully demonstrated. Xianyang City has begun to promote the benefits of unifying the world. Students and teachers from various countries in Xianyang Academy can only remain silent. This debate competition is a voice of Qin State to the world's aristocratic families. To do this, Qin State must be prepared to deal with the pressure of all countries in the world uniting together.

But this also has its advantages. Qin State organized a debate conference and paid the price of Lingbao, which is to tell the world's aristocratic families that it values ​​talents and hopes that ambitious talents will come to Qin State to display their talents!
