Chapter 349: Good Means
Zhang Dian did not care about their long prostration, and continued to walk forward, not into the library, but to the sports field.
He looked at the young people who were sweating and contacting at least, and said, "This year's imperial examination has been invalidated, and you know the reason. But the imperial examination cannot be abolished forever, and it will have to be held next year. β
A large group of people behind him immediately became nervous, and they all looked at Zhang Dan's back with angry eyes.
The imperial examination is always the most concerned thing for scholars, this is their motivation and hope for survival!
Although the big talk clichΓ©s say something like 'reading to understand reason', 'meritorious service and virtue', etc., if the imperial examination is not the way to enter the office, how many people in the world can still study?
Zhang Dian walked along the sports field and said casually: "According to the plan of the imperial court, Taixue should be widely established. When the official was chatting with the official family in the palace, the official family said, 'I am prosperous in the Song Dynasty, the ancient is unprecedented, and the future is not visible.' Therefore, we must have great ambitions, such as: No one in my Great Song Dynasty does not read, no one is illiterate, and the prosperity of literature and Taoism is not in the temple, and it should be above the rivers and lakes.......
Shen Kuo still didn't understand Zhang Xuan's intentions, but when he saw him move out of Zhao Xu, he hurriedly said: "The official family is related to the heart of the world's corporals to study, no one knows, no one knows, the sainthood is clear, and the sun and the moon can be learned." β
Zhang Dian glanced at Shen Kuo with a premonition, he was deliberately promoting the words 'official sanctity', but he didn't expect Shen Kuo to cooperate so well.
"Yes, the official family has built Taixue, and it is necessary to build more academies in various places and recruit scholars from the poor family, this holy heart is rare in ancient times......
"Throughout the ages, in addition to the three emperors and five emperors, if we talk about holy virtue, the founding emperor Taizu should be the first, and today it can be the second ......"
"What I said is very true, this is too learning, the official family has come several times, and the amount of appropriation is unprecedented......"
A group of old doctors, professors, followed Shen Kuo's words and quickly sang and harmonized.
The corners of Zhang Dan's resolute face moved, and he said: "The official family is holy. The official family also told the government hall that in next year's imperial examination, in addition to the 121 people in the imperial examination itself, another 30 people should be selected from Taixue and given to fellow jinshi, of course, you can also participate in the imperial examination...... At the time when the imperial court is employing people, the official hopes that Taixue, as the head of academic politics, will show an appearance......"
Without waiting for Shen Kuo, a professor couldn't help but say excitedly: "Don't worry, I will never let the minister, the court, and the officials be disappointed!" β
Zhang Duan didn't seem to hear it, and said: "In addition, the political affairs hall considers that the students who have studied Taixue for two years will select the first entry experience with excellent character and learning, and every year, fifty to one hundred places will be like this...... Therefore, if Taixue wants to expand, the target of 3,000 people is still too low, at least 10,000 people must be ......"
This time, even Shen Kuo was excited.
At his age, he doesn't ask for too much, but the words 'teaching and educating people' are still very attractive to him.
If there can really be a scale of 10,000 people, it will really be 'peach and plum all over the world'!
It's a scene like that, and it's exciting just to imagine it.
Shen Kuo forgot his restraint and said in a trembling voice: "Great Minister, is it really possible?" β
Zhang Duan glanced back at him, with a rare smile on his face, and said: "The official family told me that Taixue is in the city, the courtyard is small, and it is not suitable, I have asked the Ministry of Industry to look for a place outside, start construction in the second half of the year, and strive to use it for you next year, not only the place should be large, but this lesson, reading, library building, etc., must be expanded......"
"The Great Prime Minister is wise!"
Someone couldn't help but shout.
Many scholars not far away were taken aback and cast strange glances.
But these elderly professors, the doctors, were unaware of it, and surrounded Zhang Dian and asked for specific details.
Zhao Xu and the Great Song Dynasty had plans for Taixue, but they did not have the shock that Zhang Dian said personally, and it was even more 'grandiose'!
Zhang Dian didn't mind, talking about the imperial court's planning and investment in Taixue.
Shen Kuo knows a lot, but it is far from being as clear as Zhang Dian said, and even the details are very thoughtful!
This shows that the imperial court really wants to support Taixue vigorously!
Shen Kuo stood aside, having forgotten the purpose of being vigilant against Zhang Dian, and a group of people surrounded him, asking all kinds of questions about the key points.
While Zhang Dian was speaking, these news spread throughout Taixue like the wind.
In a gazebo, a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people stretched out their heads and whispered.
"I just heard that the imperial court wants to choose a new place for Taixue, and it is going to build a six-story high teaching building, three!"
"There are also dormitories, all free, with all the mattresses, and ...... to check in"
"What is this, I heard that the imperial court will subsidize students who enter Taixue, with 500 yuan per month as the base, and there are also various scholarships!"
"Not only that, but there are also debts, and the imperial court is considering setting up interest-free debts, and when students graduate, they can be paid off in three or five years......"
"This is truly an unprecedented act of kindness......
"There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy! The ideal of the Du Gong Department will be realized in my Great Song Dynasty! β
Another group of young people passed by, and when they heard this, they poked their heads out in confusion and said, "What are you talking about?" Is the court willing to spend so much money? You can't be hearsay, right? β
A person suddenly grimaced and said, "Hearsay? Hum! Zhang Xianggong said in front of the library building, with Dean Shen and all the gentlemen, that there will be an official document issued in the near future, which can be fake! β
"I don't believe anyone else's words. But Zhang Xianggong, I firmly believe that it is not appropriate, a person like him would rather bend than bend, dare to say that he can definitely do it! β
"Not bad! It doesn't matter how you slander, I never doubt that! β
"If you want to say that Zhang Xianggong, except for his upright temperament and not easy to get along with, there are really no shortcomings!"
"Zhang Xianggong is a talented learner, how many people in the world can compare? He is brave and fearless, and he is a role model for my generation! β
β¦β¦
The group of young people who just came over were even more confused, they didn't know what was going on, why did they scold Zhang Dian yesterday, but today they took him as a role model?
This group of newcomers is not over yet, and there is news coming to Taixue.
Discussion erupted.
"What do you say, Zhang Xianggong beheaded the Liao envoy? This is to pierce the sky! β
"What is the stabbing of the sky, this Liao people are not a good thing, they came with the Xia people, in front of Zhang Xianggong, they made three requests, do you know what they are?"
"What is it?"
"This first one is to mourn the Queen Mother, and it is as a peer of the Queen Mother!"
"What? That's not the ancestor of the official family, the thief is so daring! β
"This second one requires us to return all the fortresses on the border to the Xia people, and not to prepare for battle, but to retreat!"
"Is this Liao person crazy? It's better to let me die in the Song Dynasty directly, no wonder Zhang Xianggong has such a big temper! β
"Hmph, is this the end? They also said that they asked for the New Year's coins to be doubled, and the Xia people should also be doubled! β
"How can this be true? Fanbang barbarian, rampant and too prosperous! β
"Well killed!"
"If I were Zhang Xianggong, I would kill me too!"
β¦β¦
Zhang Dian stayed in Taixue for a long time, and by the time he left, there were already countless people behind him to see him off from Taixue.
Those expressions, excited and fanatical.
Shen Kuo had already reacted, and when he saw Zhang Dun get into the carriage, he secretly sighed: This great minister is a good means.
Zhang Dian didn't go to the Sixth Department, didn't find some people with prestige to endorse, and came directly to Taixue, and using Taixue to reverse his prestige is really a good way to surprise.
