Yuan Si didn't know if he really understood Guo's pain.

Anyway, he nodded again and again, with a sad look on his face for Guo Peng's sadness.

He doesn't have other skills, but he is very strong in flattery.

This kind of ability to observe words, looks, and flattery is not from a high-ranking family, so it is really not right.

Just like when Guo was a dog to Yuan Shu, it can also make Yuan Shu have great empathy, so that Yuan Shu can't believe that he was deceived by Guo Peng until he dies.

There's no way, Guo is too good at acting, among all the actors of the same era, there is no one who can compete with Guo in acting, Yuan Si is a little interesting, but Guo can see the problem at a glance.

Despite this, Guo also likes people who can take the initiative to play for themselves.

So Guo Peng liked Yuan Si's statement very much, and felt that Yuan Si's performance was very face-saving, and he was very happy.

Since he is so happy, he has to give Yuan Si a little reward.

So Guo Peng talked about the real purpose of calling Yuan Si here.

"Yuan Qing, over the years, you have been a doctor in Taixue, teaching the essentials of the classics to Taixue students, how do you feel during this period?"

Yuan Si thought about it and felt that there should be no trap in what the emperor asked.

"If you pass on the scriptures day after day, and do what Your Majesty commands, you will not make mistakes, so that although there is no change from day to day, the days are full and comfortable, and the ministers are very happy."

"Well, Huan likes, Huan likes."

Guo Peng smiled: "Yuan Qing, lonely envy you, lonely envy of your comfort, envy your day after day, which is like lonely, when you open your eyes, you can't finish things, you can't finish government affairs, and sometimes you feel a deep lack of energy." ”

"Therefore, the minister in Taixue did his best to cultivate good talents for His Majesty, just to help His Majesty reduce the burden of state affairs."

Yuan Si's face was full of flattery.

Guo Peng laughed.

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right, that's exactly the case, but Yuan Qing, I feel that the number of talents cultivated is still too small."

"Less?"

Yuan Si was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, in the four years of Yande, more than 500 people left Taixue and entered the local government as officials throughout the year, this person is really not small, compared to the past, compared to the previous dynasty, the number of officials and Tai students in my Wei is more than equal, Your Majesty still thinks it is not enough?" ”

Of course, what Yuan Si said was good, there were only more than 6,000 officials in the country in the Western Han Dynasty, and by the time of the Wei Empire, the number of officials was about to exceed 20,000, and the two sides could not compare at all.

But Guo still feels that it is not enough, and if he wants to build a strong big government, the number of officials will increase.

What's more, he needs more fresh blood, constantly replacing those blackened necrotic blood.

"Of course not enough."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Yuan Qing, maybe in your opinion, this number is already a lot, but in Gu's opinion, this is not enough, although it is said that hundreds of people have entered the officialdom as officials, but how many of them are competent and how many can be useful, I don't know."

Yuan Qing, this feeling is like you let a group of short people stand in a row, and then pick out the tallest one from them, yes, in the eyes of this group of short people, he is very tall, but from the perspective of normal people, he is still very short. ”

Yuan Si felt that what the emperor said was a bit twisted, and he thought for a while.

"What does Your Majesty mean is that you feel that the talents cultivated in Taixue are not the best talents, and Your Majesty is not satisfied?"

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, there are still talents, things like village chiefs and township chiefs don't need a national pillar to support, but the number of people is still small, it's still not enough, Yuan Qing, do you have any way to train more students?"

"More ......"

Yuan Si thought for a while and said, "That's nothing more than increasing the scale of Taixue, allocating more funds, and accommodating more students." ”

Having said that, but Yuan Si knew in his heart that whether he could cultivate more and better talents was actually a decisive factor, and it was useless for the emperor to just throw money.

Even if Taixue was expanded to 100,000 people, it would still not be able to cultivate the talents that the emperor really needed.

The best teachers, the best educational means and educational resources are in the hands of the scholars, and they themselves cultivate their own outstanding talents behind closed doors.

Moreover, although the educational resources in Taixue are not bad, most of them are specific transaction-based education, and those who are trained are those who can do things.

It would be good to understand agriculture, handicrafts and commerce, to be able to manage well the land of one village, one township and one county, and to develop local production and economy.

Taixue didn't teach politics, and it couldn't teach politics.

Therefore, unless these officials are gifted or have some adventures that they can comprehend on their own, they will be able to achieve a county guard of up to 2,000 stones in this life, so they don't want to climb up.

Not understanding politics is very fatal in officialdom, you can't just do things, many times you can't solve problems without doing things, and just knowing how to do things can't make you like a fish in water in officialdom.

You have to understand politics.

This category is too big, it requires talent, but it also needs a minimum of political enlightenment, and there is no political enlightenment, and you only know how to do things, which is actually [official], not [official].

You must understand politics, know what politics is, learn to stand in line, learn to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and then you can enter the upper echelons of the empire, grasp real authority, and exercise real power.

is not just running errands for people, being a [capable official] and [cadre], but also complacent.

And this kind of real elite education resources can only be mastered by the main veins of a few elite families, and it is almost a hand-in-hand one-to-one elite education.

Little by little, tell him what is the people's heart, what is the current situation, what is the overall situation, how to manipulate and play with people's hearts, conform to the overall situation of the times, and get what he wants.

These are not taught in Taixue.

These skills are too important, they belong to extremely scarce educational resources, and they do not belong to the category of education of Taixue.

Taixue's general education has not even taught some basic political principles, so most of the people who have been trained are petty officials who can only bury their heads in work.

Only a small number of students with very good grades will be concentrated and cultivated, and they will make use of this pitiful scarce educational resources to carry out a certain degree of political edification, give them political enlightenment, and help them open the door to a new world.

There is no upper limit to their future for the time being.

This type of person is either very talented and is a child of Li Shu at the level of village chief and township head, or he is from a good background and is a child of a poor official in the DPRK and Central China, and has a certain status.

For example, the children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family and the like.

Only they can learn these skills and knowledge, and such people, but twenty or thirty people a year, the emperor thinks that there are few, and that is a matter of course.

And this is actually the emperor's biggest lifeline.

Yuan Si knew that the relationship between the emperor and the officials of the scholar clan was not good, and since the founding of the country, he had been supporting the Hanmen Li Shu and suppressing the scholar clan, but he had too few educational resources of this type.

Unless he goes down himself, it will not be enough to teach people who are talented enough to rise to high positions.

And more importantly, this part of the upward channel is not completely in the hands of the emperor, and the main part of it is in the hands of the scholars.

The ascending resources that you have mastered with the Five Classics and the Fourteen Family Laws and the Great Meaning of the Subtle Words will definitely not be open to outsiders, and you will not be able to grab them.

The rules are such rules, unless you flip the table and kill us all, that's your ability, if you don't dare, then you have to follow the rules.

Don't understand the scriptures?

Get lost!

Yo, gifted to memorize scriptures? Good! Come, let me ask you, what is the meaning of this word?

Don't understand?

Get lost!

Or - that's not what my school of thought says!

Get lost!

It's very simple to expel someone who is not in the school and not let him occupy even the slightest bit of rising resources.

Fourteen main thoroughfares, all of which lead to Rome, but none of them are open to you.

Just as the Western aristocracy deliberately came up with an extremely cumbersome set of etiquette norms that could not be mastered from young practice to distinguish between nobles and commoners, they always had to have some means to distinguish between friend and foe and control the channels of ascent.

And the educational resources at the disposal of His Majesty the Emperor are really limited.
