Chapter 50 Qufu University

That is, the emperor planned to set up a school in Zunhua to teach this kind of knowledge. It does not teach the way of Confucius and Mencius.

Cultivating talents for steam engine research.

This is also something that Zhu Qizhen has high hopes for.

That's what he originally planned.

Regardless of external warfare, but internal political reform, Zhu Qizhen has never forgotten to climb the science and technology tree. It's just that he is too short of people in his hands.

Especially scientific research talents.

Zhu Qizhen has never urged, nor does he care about spending money, just to find a way to spend money and smash a set of research methods and methods, after the success of the steam engine, this set of methods and methods can be used to overcome other scientific and technological problems.

This is more important than having one or two inventions alone.

These scientific research talents are all joined by the master craftsmen themselves and several of their disciples, and even some personnel of the Qin Tianjian, because the ability of real astronomers to develop astronomical instruments by hand is not low.

Especially the water planetarium, there are a lot of such big guys.

It's just that even then, there are too few people.

That's why Zhu Qizhen thought of building a special engineering school. But he didn't want to be listened to by Kong Xilu.

Of course, this matter is not a big secret, and everyone who has reached a certain position in the court has heard about it, and His Majesty has been paying attention to this matter.

There were also a few people who advised them, but after Zhu Qi suppressed it, he said that it was to improve Chidao and it was a supporting project of Chidao. And no one said anything.

After all, Chidao, as Zhu Qizhen's first political achievement, has proven its role over the years, and a consensus has also been reached among the government and the opposition, and even some people have taken the initiative to ask for strengthening the construction of Chidao, such as Yu Qian.

Spending money for Chidao is meaningless in the imperial court.

In addition, all this money is from the accounts of the Shaofu.

The accounts of the Shaofu are not announced to the officials.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen put the secret he valued the most in a position that was neither high nor low, but he did not pay too much attention to it.

Kong Xilu didn't pay attention to this matter, he just wanted to vote for the emperor's favor so that he could sit firmly in the position of the Holy Prince.

So, with the strength of wine, he wrote a note. Emperor Shang Juan mainly said two things, he heard that Beikong occupied a lot of private land, and evaded taxes, and was very frightened, with the descendants of the saints, the scriptures of the sons, instead of managing the land. Therefore, he was willing to order the return of all the private fields, and distribute the western private fields to the Northern Confucian families, and he did not take any of them.

In doing so, Kong Xilu also killed two birds with one stone.

After all, there are some problems with the private land of Yan Sheng Gong. It stands to reason that he came to inherit the title, and these private fields belong to the Northern Confucian family, not to Southern Kong. But these private fields have always been linked to the power of Yan Shenggong.

It is hard to imagine that without the power of Yan Shenggong, their family would have been able to have so much land.

Therefore, these people in the West and North Kong don't dare to ask for all of it, but they give it all to Kong Xilu, how can they be willing?

Even without the name of Yan Shenggong, Beikong has been near Qufu for hundreds of years. It's not easy to get along with.

All of a sudden, it's much more refreshing.

said that he Kong Xilu only inherited the title of Duke Yansheng, and did not want the private property of Confucius Mansion, and also fulfilled the instructions of Father-in-law Huaien.

The second thing is about the four clans.

What is the Four Clans School, it is the school to which the school field under the responsibility of Yan Shenggong belongs. It is specifically responsible for Kong, Meng, Yan, and Zeng. A school for the children of four families.

Not open to outsiders.

But the teaching method here is not very good, especially the education of the Confucian family, the teaching of the Confucian Mansion is even more family learning, that is, every classmate of Yan Shenggong only has his own younger brothers and sisters.

Isolated from the outside.

The reason why Kong Hongxu is like this is not without reason with the education of Confucius.

Kong Hongxu proposed that he was willing to reform the Four Clans School to accommodate students from all over the world, and adhered to the master's intention of teaching without class, reviving the teaching of the six arts, and hinted that Qin Tianjian would teach mathematics.

Kong Hongxu's letter was something Zhu Qizhen did not expect.

It's just that this letter was neglected in Zhu Qizhen's hands, Zhu Qizhen was overjoyed, and said to Huai En beside him: "You are right, this Yan Shenggong is really an understanding person. ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

This is a letter of sincerity from the new Yan Sheng Gong to the present day.

Zhu Qizhen will not be too happy about Yan Shenggong's surrender alone, after all, the situation is already like this, does this Yan Shenggong dare not surrender?

It's just that what he never expected was that Kong Xilu's decision was right in the middle.

Confucianism's more than 1,000-year history in China has pushed Confucius's status extremely high. Zhu Qizhen can't change this foundation, and he can't change this foundation, even if he changes the law, he must find theoretical support from within the Confucian theoretical system.

Therefore, if Confucianism cannot be defeated, the position of Confucius cannot be overthrown. And the brand of the Confucian family is still useful.

Kong Xilu was willing to open up the Qufu Four Clans and teach the Six Arts.

Of course, these six arts are not only the traditional six arts, maybe Kong Xilu thinks it is the traditional six arts, but Zhu Qizhen does not think it is.

Although Taizu had already advocated that official schools should teach the six arts, they were gradually abolished.

There are too many places for Zhu Qizhen to interfere.

Think about how much resistance would be reduced if the descendants of Confucius were in the midst of reform and stood on Zhu Qizhen's side. How many people will change their minds.

Zhu Qizhen approved it and ordered a thousand tilts to be pulled out of the Kong family's private field. It is zoned in the field. In this way, even if all the private land is abandoned, the school field and sacrificial field controlled by Yan Sheng Gong are probably between 30,000 mu and 50,000 mu, which is still not a small amount.

Again

This university was named Qufu University.

and summoned Shi Jing, and sent many talents to Qufu in the Shaofu. Participate in the establishment of this university.

But that's just the beginning.

And today, the subordinates dare not speak falsely, and no one dares to compete with the imperial court above public opinion. It's time to do things. Zhu Qizhen has a lot of policies brewing in his heart, and he is about to show his ambitions.

It's just that which policy comes first, but it's a question, and now I'm about to follow the matter of Qufu University and make one of the decrees.

Zhu Qizhen immediately summoned Yu Qian, first invited Yu Qian to watch Kong Xilu's recital, and said, "What does Mr. think?" ”

Yu Qian looked at Zhu Qizhen's Zhu Pi and said, "Shengming has no past Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "The saint is the government, education is the first, and the importance of education is more important than reading. If you want everyone to know etiquette and love each other instead of loving each other, you can only read books and be reasonable. ”

Yu Qian listened to what Zhu Qizhen said. For a while, I didn't believe that this was said from Zhu Qizhen's mouth.

This is after all, the word "education", in the Biyong Palace, has always been the signboard held high by the science side.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Yu Qian's gaze, smiled lightly and said: "I am not a stubborn person, no matter whose opinion, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the world, I have nothing that I do not adopt. ”

Yu Qian pondered for a while and said, "It's difficult." At the time of Taizu, he also established a school, so that every village had a village school, so that the old man taught it, but he soon couldn't stick to it. ”

"And there are very few people who can still adhere to the politics of Hongwu today, even if there are some township schools, they are just vain."

"The lessons of the previous car must not be careless."

Zhu Qizhen said: "How do you think this is the case, sir? ”

Yu Qian said: "Without him, the future of studying is a problem. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "The future of studying? ”

Yu Qian said: "There are a number of Jinshi admitted in each subject of the imperial court, and there are a number of talents. And in poor families, there are very few who can read. Once you spend a lot of financial and material resources to study, and you can't become an official, the villagers won't bother to study. ”

"So it can thrive for a while, but it can't last."

Zhu Qizhen smiled bitterly in his heart.

This phenomenon is actually the same throughout the ages.

Many children study hard just to have a good life after being admitted to university, but when they are admitted to university and cannot achieve all this, the enthusiasm of parents' education has been hit.

The same was true in ancient times, and even more realistic.

Studying is to be an official. In order to change the door, and in ancient times, it was very expensive to provide a person to study on a full-time basis, which is unimaginable for those who enjoy compulsory education today.

When reading and literacy cannot change lives, this kind of activity cannot be sustained.
