Chapter 231 Competition Champion

The debate contest among students from 100 countries at Xianyang Academy attracted the attention of the entire city of Xianyang. When the host read out the rules of the contest, the audience was silent.

Qin Zheng sat at the highest position and looked down on everything, as if he was already the king of the world.

There were only 6 games in the third round of the contest. The three of them first had a free debate in pairs, and then Qin Zheng personally asked the questions and the three of them debated with each other again, which means that everyone had to debate four games.

Finally, the champion, third place, and runner-up of the final contest were determined based on the number of wins, and then everyone received the reward together.

Many students and teachers were very resistant to the fact that Qin Zheng was going to ask the topic for the final debate, but they could not resist the public opinion in Xianyang Academy. Didn't they see that the people in the audience were excited like fanatics when they heard that Qin Zheng was going to ask the questions himself?

Hua Kai couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. No matter how other countries commented on Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng's appeal in Qin State was unmatched in the world. Hua Kai still remembered the tone of his teacher Zeng Shen when he talked about Qin Zheng. It was a feeling of resistance, confusion, respect and a hint of envy.

No matter how you say it, the attitude of Qin State or Qin Zheng to unify the world is clear. In fact, the country does not value students too much. There are many people in this world who go to foreign countries to serve as officials. The headache is the monarchs of various countries in the world. Who is the monarch of a country sometimes has little impact on the various families.

After the rules were read out, Hua Kai and Qin Jiao went on stage first. Many people were looking forward to the two of them fighting again, because the content of their last debate had been circulated in the Xianyang Academy for a long time, and was read and studied by all students, students and apprentices.

Standing on the debate stage, the two saluted each other. Now they both know each other's strength very well. On the surface, Qin Jiao seems to have learned the core of Confucianism's benevolence and courtesy and the Feng Shui and Zhouyi of the Yin-Yang School. In fact, his thoughts are still based on educating the people for the king's use. Hua Kai is not afraid of this at all.

Hua Kai knows the relationship between the people, the country, and the king. He knows the 5,000-year history of China. Even if he meets the giant Hua Kai, he has the confidence to defeat him.

Hua Kai seems to be casual, and any words seem to be casual, but if you think about it carefully, every sentence is profound. His ten major academic researches have reached a great success, and various small schools have also been involved. Occasionally, a classic speech will make people think deeply. It can be said that his defense is extremely strong, and his offensive methods are weird and changeable, without any shortcomings.

Some people even consulted many giants and asked for ways to defeat Hua Kai. But no giant dared to guarantee that his views could beat Hua Kai.

"Hello, Saint Hua Kai!" Qin Jiao looked at Hua Kai with a smile. As a master of the Yin-Yang School, he could feel that Hua Kai had entered the Qi training realm. Recently, Hua Kai seemed to feel a little different from before.

"Hello, Saint Qin!" Hua Kai also saluted.

"It is my honor to debate with Hua Shengzi on the same stage. Today, there are some questions that I cannot figure out. Please enlighten me!" Qin Jiao was very humble.

"I don't deserve your advice. If I know something, I will tell you. Please!" Hua Kai gestured to Qin Jiao to go first.

"I have thought that one day the world will be unified, and everyone will be able to learn. The world will be prosperous and the people will be rich. All kinds of new things will fill people's lives. Wild beasts will not dare to approach human towns. Will the human race lose their ambition to strive for progress at that time?"

As Qin Jiao said this, everyone couldn't help but imagine the life without wild beasts and rich food. At the end, everyone couldn't help but feel confused. After a few years, humans will have no opponents. Then what is the point of practicing martial arts? Will human life lose its meaning?

Qin Zheng listened to his son's voice and nodded with a smile. Qin Jiao started the conversation by directly bringing up the topic of world unification. He didn't waste any words and got to the point. This debate had already surpassed the teachings of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Generally, people in various academic circles didn't dare to discuss these things, but this was what Qin Zheng wanted to hear the most.

"The development of all things follows its own laws. Human beings have been living in contradictions since ancient times. Whenever a contradiction is resolved, new contradictions will always emerge. Human beings' yearning for a better life will never end. Without wild beasts and wars, if everyone can learn, the concept of family and country will become weak, the world will be people-oriented, and ideological policies suitable for the people will be promoted, and ideological policies that hinder the people will be eliminated! The human race will naturally choose a more meaningful life." Hua Kai said lightly.

He seemed to lead everyone into the long history of the development of the human race. Human beings have been struggling for a better life. Whether facing wild beasts or the rule of power, the human race has overcome difficulties and obstacles to step by step to today.

"Will the Hundred Schools of Thought become an obstacle to history? Will the country restrict the development of the human race?" Qin Jiao continued to ask.

"No! Whether it is the various schools of thought or the country, they are all symbols of human progress. They have promoted the development of the human race and maintained the order and unity of the entire human race." Hua Kai said.

Qin Jiao has been leading the topic to the need for a unified country for mankind, and Hua Kai also followed his thoughts. His debate focuses on unity and institutional reform, and everything is based on the people.

Qin Jiao did not do much research on educating the people and establishing a unified system that is beneficial to the people, the family, and the monarch. Many of Hua Kai's words can make him think for a long time. In the end, the two were talking about the issue of institutional reform after unification. It was basically Hua Kai who spoke and Qin Jiao asked. Everyone actually saw clearly that the winner of the debate between the two had been decided.

Two hours later, Qin Jiao bowed and admitted defeat. The referee read Hua Kai's victory. The next step was the debate between Hua Kai and Xiang Chen.

Xiang Chen started by raising the influence of the monarch on a country. The monarch affects the development of a country. If the monarch is restricted from doing things that are harmful to the people, how can a monarch be beneficial to the people?

This topic continued the previous debate. Based on his knowledge from his previous life, Hua Kai talked about how to restrain the people and how the country can establish rules to restrain the king from the aspects of moral habits and establishing laws and regulations.

It took only one hour for the two to finish the debate. No one expected that the final would be so easy. There was no situation in the past where they debated for several hours for a key point.

Hua Kai's debate with Qin Jiao and Xiang Chen was just to the point. He did not catch the flaws of the other party's arguments, otherwise it would be easier for him to win. The two also knew that Hua Kai's knowledge was more than one level higher than theirs. It took them a long time to understand many theories clearly. Hua Kai was never aggressive in the debate. When the other party's arguments had flaws and contradictions, Hua Kai just reminded them slightly.

On October 11, Xianyang City had entered autumn. On this day, Qin Jiao and Xiang Chen's debate was beyond everyone's expectations.

Xiang Chen proposed that the self-restraint of the king was the key to the prosperity of a country. The two started a fierce competition based on the needs of the people and the role of the king. At the beginning, Qin Jiao was at an absolute disadvantage. The other party seized on the view that the greater the power of the monarch, the more dangerous a country is. The two debated until noon, from governing the country to governing the counties, and then to educating the people. Neither side could convince the other side.

It was not until the evening that Qin Jiao caught a small flaw in Xiang Chen, which slowly shifted the situation to him. In the end, Qin Jiao defeated the other party with a slight advantage.

Two days later, Hua Kai stepped onto the debate stage again, and Qin Zheng sat on the high platform again.

"The three debated very well a few days ago, and I was deeply touched. In the first debate today, Hua Kai and Jiao'er, you will take "revitalizing the country" as the topic. I look forward to your wonderful debate!" Qin Zheng said on the stage.

"Revitalizing the country" is a big topic. I don't know how many people have discussed it. The king has been seeking strategies for revitalizing the country, and the theme of the Hundred Schools of Thought is also how to revitalize the country.

This time, Qin Jiao signaled Hua Kai to start first. As the son of Qin Zheng, he has heard much more theories about "revitalizing the country" than Hua Kai. This time, Qin Zheng took "revitalizing the country" as the topic, which obviously favored him.

Hua Kai was not polite. He started by asking Qin Jiao questions about national governance, humanities education, military management, water conservancy and environmental transformation, etc. Qin Jiao realized that he still underestimated his opponent after hearing these questions from Hua Kai. Even if these questions were handed over to officials in the domestic specialized departments, they might not know as much as Hua Kai. Qin Jiao was speechless after just two rounds of debate. The audience saw for the first time that a person's talent could be so high. I'm afraid that the saints' actions were no more than this!

In the second debate, Hua Kai faced Xiang Chen. The topic of the debate given by Qin Zheng was "King and Minister". The two mainly debated the role that the aristocratic family should play in national governance, and whether the aristocratic family occupied too many resources in the world, which was not good for the king and the people.

Xiang Chen did not dare to be careless. He came up and proposed that the aristocratic family was the king's arm, and the king and the aristocratic family jointly governed the world, which was the foundation of the stability of the world. This was already a consensus reached by all the aristocratic families and scholars.

How could Hua Kai not know the pros and cons of the king and the aristocratic family ruling the world together? He directly brought out the aristocratic family's selfish thoughts, and wanted to solve this problem to improve the people's cognition and ensure the authority of the country. Here he put forward his own understanding of the country, which is a force organization to ensure the development of the group, and the king is the controller of this sword.

Hua Kai's novel and clear ideas and words made everyone think deeply. He has already talked about its pros and cons at the level of the essence of the country.

Xiang Chen felt that his heart was suddenly enlightened when facing the topic Hua Kai said. The two of them only debated for half an hour, and Xiang Chen bowed and admitted defeat. At the end, he actually performed a gentleman's etiquette to Hua Kai. This is not flattery, but just admiration and gratitude in his heart!

Qin Zheng has been sitting on the high platform and no one knows what he is thinking. The theme given by Qin Zheng in the last debate is "Hundred Schools of Thought".

Xiang Chen directly listed the ten major advantages of the Hundred Schools of Thought, and talked about the importance of the Hundred Schools of Thought to mankind from the aspects of educating the people, improving the strength of the human race, and regulating conflicts among countries.

Qin Jiao listed the defects of the various schools of thought, and the Mohist School and the Confucian School have become the biggest enemies among the Hundred Schools. He found out the shortcomings of the Hundred Schools of Thought, and finally it turned into how to modify the defects of the Hundred Schools of Thought, unify the thoughts and find more cooperation with the king. Hua Kai sighed secretly when he heard this. Xiang Chen was still far behind Qin Jiao. Qin Zheng's goal of this debate conference was achieved!
