Chapter 188: Candidates
"Lord, what kind of academy do you want to build?"
Guo Jia asked curiously, he knew that as long as Yuan Chang put forward the idea, it would definitely be different. The college built is definitely very different from the current one.
Yuan Chang didn't answer, but asked, "Fengxiao, according to your opinion, what about Taixue and Academy today?"
Guo Jia pondered for a moment, pursed his lips, shook his head, and said, "Nowadays, the scholars who come out of Taixue and Academy, except for a few people, are mostly empty talk and arrogant. During the time of Emperor Ling, the Taifu Chen Fan and the general Dou Wu plotted to get rid of the eunuchs, and the Tai students all went to the palace to ask for their lives, perhaps because the imperial court treated them too well, so that they had a sense of superiority, thinking that if they asked for their lives, Emperor Ling should obey. As a result, the Son of Heaven was furious, triggering a struggle for party power, which implicated countless scholars and had to hide in the mountains and forests. Their actions were not deliberate and taken for granted to cause such draconian consequences. Otherwise, the Han Dynasty would not have declined so quickly. ”
What Guo Jia said is reasonable, it is precisely because of the struggle for the party and the government that countless literati have been persecuted, and many ministers in the court have also been affected, or because of the party system, they have been exterminated by the family, or the officials in the prefectures and counties have abandoned their posts and left. It is precisely for this reason that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was never discovered. The imperial court was investigating the cause of the party, and the preaching of the three Zhang Jiao brothers was naturally ignored, so that the yellow turban sat big. If it hadn't been for someone to tell you later, I'm afraid that the Yellow Turban would have successfully revolted.
Yuan Chang also deeply realized that when he went to Chang'an City, those literati were still in the mood to pursue Cai Yan, but they didn't think about how to eradicate Dong Zhuo. Perhaps, in their view, as long as their status can be guaranteed, what does it matter who is in power? They who have been deeply educated by Confucianism have such a mentality, and it has to be said that it is a failure of education.
"Haha, Fengxiao, you are also a scholar from the academy, if those scholars know that Fengxiao you evaluate them like this, I don't know how they will feel. ”
Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders indifferently, Guo Jia didn't care at all about the opinions of those scholars. If that incident hadn't happened, maybe Guo Jia would have become an arrogant scholar who only knew how to talk like those scholars.
Seeing the reminiscing and sad look on Guo Jia's face, Yuan Chang knew that Guo Jia remembered some unhappy past, so he diverted the topic and said: "Today's Taixue and Academies are mainly based on teaching scriptures, and they can't even do the basic six arts, which can be seen in the dominance of the Confucian family. If the education system does not change, then this situation will only continue until it is defeated. ”
Yuan Chang's words were not big, as can be known from the situation of all dynasties.
Since the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination has been used to select scholars, although the common people have the opportunity to display their talents. However, the singleness of the imperial examination was still unavoidable, and the election officials were still mainly based on scripture. Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emergence of Baguwen made teaching a great constraint. Although there were other selections in all dynasties, such as martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc., in the hearts of most scholars, only those who have passed the imperial examination are the highest.
Empty talk about misleading the country is the most obvious example in the Ming and Qing dynasties, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the foreign powers invaded, there were still so many people who clung to the ideas of their ancestors and did not try to change them. Looking through history, it is obvious that those people with lofty ideals who resisted the great powers and intended to reform all returned from studying abroad. If it weren't for this, Yuan Chang might have been a slave before he crossed over.
Therefore, Yuan Chang decided that he would change this situation before the imperial examination appeared.
"The college I envisioned could not be a single study of the scriptures, but must touch on all aspects. The college is divided into four levels, the first class is the most basic level, all aspects are involved, at this stage, the professor's doctors can know which aspect of knowledge the scholar is interested in, mainly including the six aspects of national literature, arithmetic, geography, nature, history, and military affairs; the second class is above the first level, so that the scholar can accept a deeper level of knowledge, so that he has a goal in the choice of the third class; the third class is the stage of selection, which is divided into literature and science, literature includes national literature, history, and military affairs, and science includes arithmetic, Geography and nature. When a scholar has mastered this kind of education, he can be regarded as a basic talent. The fourth class is the highest, and according to the direction chosen by the third class, the scholars can choose to continue their studies and become a medium talent after graduation. Of course, there is more advanced research in the future, so we will not talk about it at this stage. ”
After Yuan Chang said this, he felt a little thirsty and wanted to drink saliva, but he found that the surroundings were quiet, and when he looked around, he saw that everyone's eyes widened and showed an expression of disbelief.
Yuan Chang felt that what he said was not very profound, that is, he just went through the classification of elementary school, junior high school, high school and university, don't they understand?
"Lord, I don't know how powerful I am!"
Dian Wei gave a thumbs up and praised loudly.
"Ahem!"
Yuan Chang kicked Dian Wei away, coughed lightly twice, attracted everyone's attention, and then said: "In addition, there is also a military academy. ”
"Military Academy?"
Everyone's faces showed puzzled expressions again, and they realized that the gap with Yuan Chang was not ordinarily large, even Guo Jia felt very difficult to understand Yuan Chang's words.
"That's right, the Military Academy, a place for generals to study. ”
"What, we still have to study?"
Dian Wei's eyes widened, and his expression was even more surprised than hearing that his father and mother were dead.
"Nonsense!"
Yuan Chang glared at Dian Wei dissatisfied, and said loudly: "Because the generals don't know the art of war, don't know geography, don't know the precepts, how to command the army, how to deal with archers, how to deal with sword and shield soldiers, how to deal with pikemen, how to deal with cavalry? Also, the navy, land and air forces... Ahem. ”
Yuan Chang said that he was on the rise, and he said all the air force for a while, and he wanted to change the topic, but everyone listened to him carefully, and Yuan Chang didn't have time to change the topic, and everyone was already staring at him.
Guo Jia looked puzzled and asked puzzledly: "Lord, the Second Army of the Navy and the Army is easy to understand, but the Air Force is not an army flying in the sky?"
Dian Wei pursed his lips, rolled his eyes and said, "Lord, I don't read much, don't lie to me." ”
Although Zhao Yun, Han Sui, and Ye Gucheng did not speak, they obviously expressed great doubts about Yuan Chang's air force.
Yuan Chang was extremely angry, and kicked Dian Wei away again, making Dian Wei feel very wronged, why was he the one who was injured every time, but he didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction at the moment, lest he become a bird and be bombarded by Yuan Chang.
"The Air Force does have it, you won't understand it now, and when there is a chance in the future, let you see and see. ”
Yuan Chang knew that it was indeed a hard thing for people to fly in the air today, but he knew that it was not difficult to do. It's impossible to fly or anything, but hot air balloons are no problem.
Knowing that it was difficult for everyone to understand, Yuan Chang didn't bother with this issue.
"The construction of the academy is still only a preliminary idea, first of all, we must find a person to preside over the academy, and then slowly implement it, Feng Xiao thinks, who should be found to preside over the academy is more suitable?"
Guo Jia smiled and said unhurriedly: "The lord already has a candidate in his heart, why bother to embarrass me!"
"Oh, do you know who my heart is?"
Yuan Chang asked with a smile, there are so many famous people in the world, Guo Jia will not be able to guess who he is looking for! If that is the case, Guo Jia Ke will really be evil.
Guo Jia glanced at it with bad intentions, and Yuan Chang was inexplicable, but when Guo Jia said next, Yuan Chang knew the meaning of that glance.
"The lord went to Chang'an and came into contact with the eldest daughter of Scholar Cai, and then he was a heroic sedan chair. Thinking about it this way, the lord must want to let Scholar Cai preside over the academy!"
Yuan Chang looked embarrassed as if the little secret in his heart had been discovered, but Yuan Chang immediately reacted. Guo Jia is not a god, how can he know his own business? Then, someone must have told Guo Jia. The one who has the most contact with Guo Jia is undoubtedly Dian Wei. The two often drink wine together, and when they drink too much, their guts are fat, and Yi Dian Wei's big mouth will definitely say it.
Sure enough, Yuan Chang looked at Dian Wei with murderous eyes, and this guy still shrank his head, delusionally thinking that Yuan Chang didn't see him. It's a pity that his behavior of not having three hundred taels of silver here and there let Yuan Chang know that this guy said it.
Yuan Chang sneered, cast a look you are waiting for, and then ignored Dian Wei. Yuan Chang believes that this look is enough for Dian Wei to sleep unsteadily for several days, and to drink unsteadily.
"Lord, Scholar Cai is now being controlled by Dong Zhuo, and it is a little difficult to take him away. ”
Guo Jia has no objection to letting Cai Yong serve as the host of the college, after all, Cai Yong is famous all over the world. Although Cai Yong is now working for Dong Zhuo, anyone with a little brain knows that Cai Yong was threatened by Dong Zhuo. It's just that if you want to take Cai Yong away from Dong Zhuo's men, I am afraid that it will be more than a star and a half.
"It's okay, Dong Zhuo's life is not long in coming! Now with the help of the five people in the lonely city, it is not a problem to take Scholar Cai away. ”
Yuan Chang smiled, but said indifferently.
Everyone was not surprised at all when Yuan Chang said that Dong Zhuo was about to die. After all, Yuan Chang said that in his dream, an immortal took him to witness what happened in a thousand years, and it was not strange to know that Dong Zhuo was going to die.
Subsequently, Yuan Chang discussed with the five people of Ye Gucheng, and only when the sky was about to dawn did they disperse.
