Chapter 70: Guan Xue
For Wang Song, the establishment of a higher administrative college in Shaanxi not only meets the political requirements of the Xuanfu Division, but also appeases the scholars and doctors in Shaanxi, making Shaanxi's springboard for westward expansion more stable.
Geographically speaking, Shaanxi also needs to run a school of administration. The well-known Guanxue can be included in the national academy, take its essence and remove its dross, so that the students, that is, the future officials, can develop better mental integrity.
Shaanxi, as another college in addition to Hebei's "China School of Administration", is also a major popularity of the academy.
The war must be fought, the people's hearts must be soothed, the world must be unified, and education must be continued, what Wang Song wants is to open up the wisdom of the people, not simply teach people to be officials, but to serve the society and serve the entire political system headed by the Xuanfu Division in Hebei.
The purpose of "Guanxue" is to continue the study of the saints, but the learning of the Confucian sages, from the two Han Dynasty and below, and the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Sui and Tang dynasties, for thousands of years, has not been able to continue the pre-Qin Confucian lineage. Neither the light of life nor the wisdom of philosophy was revealed. Especially at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the fifth dynasty, and then under the rule of the Mengyuan Dynasty, the cultural life of China shrank and degenerated extremely.
Until the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Huaxia couldn't find a decent teacher, and the so-called "learning is a great way to mourn", it is not too much. It was not until the physicists came out that the metaphysical wisdom of pre-Qin Confucianism was resurrected, so that the study of the life of heaven (the righteousness of the heart) and the teaching of inner sanctity and virtue were re-manifested to the world. The leadership of thought was taken back from the hands of Buddhism, and the position of Confucius was naturally reasserted.
The merit of this step of "continuing to learn for the sake of the saints" is unique in the history of Chinese culture. It is a pity that since the death of the Song Dynasty, the scholars have been despicable in their minds, but they have criticized science, which is a great regret in academic ignorance.
Although everyone usually talks about "learning for the sake of the saints", under the "literary prison", who dares to do things in a real and down-to-earth manner.
Now, continuing to learn from the sages, the Loyal and Righteous Army not only did it, but did it thoroughly, and directly entered the official academy!
Since the Sui Dynasty, Guozijian has become the central government school, and it is the highest institution in the education system of all Chinese dynasties. Now, under the rule of the Xuanfu Division, the School of Administration has replaced Guozijian and become the highest institution of learning in China, which is also a major reform under the Xuanfu Division.
"Brother Wang Lun, the land must be cultivated, the city must be built, and the college must take the lead, otherwise how to appease the Shaanxi scholars?"
When Wang Lun's official document arrived in Hebei, Wang Song ran over non-stop.
The purpose of establishing the "School of Administration" and incorporating Guanxue is to let more scholars and students get better and higher education, open up the wisdom of the people, carry forward the essence of various Chinese theories, and carry forward the "Guanxue". ”
"Brother Wang Lun, the first president of the Shaanxi "School of Administration" is concurrently served by you, the parent official. You can set up a "Guanxue" institute in the college, and find some "Guanxue" Confucianism to serve as it. ”
"Xianggong, now there are all kinds of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and it is the reclamation of the land, and the compulsory education, the administrative college, all of which all need silver, and I am afraid that the financial situation will not be able to make ends meet!"
As soon as the two talked, Wang Lun immediately had a headache.
Without money, nothing is to be discussed.
"Xianggong, Shaanxi is broken, and the lower officials take over the treasury of the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, with a total of only tens of thousands of taels of silver. Shaanxi has been in war for many years, and there are too many places to use silver. I'm afraid I won't be able to draw much silver. ”
"I'll figure it out with the silver!"
Wang Song groaned: "I will first allocate 100,000 taels from Hebei, 20,000 taels to build the academy, and the remaining 80,000 taels, first clean up the Jingzhao Mansion, it is in tatters everywhere, is this still Chang'an City?"
"Xianggong, it costs a lot of money, and there is only one way to fix it first."
"Xianggong, the villain has a plan, maybe he can solve our current urgent needs."
Wang Song was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Yang Zaixing, what are your clever plans, come quickly, this official will be rewarded!"
"Xiang Gong,
Prince, although Jingzhao Mansion is dilapidated, but there are many wealthy merchants and giants in the city, we can get a "donation meeting", by the local Confucian in Jingzhao Mansion, the donation of silver is recorded in the book, and the "donation association" is responsible for keeping and spending, and the government does not care about the silver, but only plays a supervisory role. ”
"In order to encourage these wealthy businessmen to donate, we set up a monument in front of the college, listing the names of the donors and the amount of donations on them, and the government will also issue a plaque nominated by the prince to show the reward."
Wang Song continued with Yang Zaixing, and laughed out loud.
"Yang Zaixing, you also have the potential to be a profiteer!"
Yang Zaixing's face turned red, and he muttered: "Xianggong, this is not a matter of hearing and seeing, when it comes to old treacherous and cunning, who can ......"
"Who can compete with Wang Xianggong! Brother Yang, you are so smart!"
Wang Lun clapped his hands and smiled: "In this way, the rich businessmen and giants of Jingzhao Mansion are afraid that they will lose their capital!" This kind of glorious ancestor and eternal thing, there will definitely be a lot of people who come to donate money and materials. When the time comes, the matter of the academy will definitely be solved!"
Wang Lun nodded frequently, and smiled embarrassedly: "I can't imagine that I, Wang Lun, have lived for half my life, and in the end I have to break the reputation of the school, which is really embarrassing."
Wang Song laughed and said: "The disciples of "Guan Xue" are all over Shaanxi, including the children of officials and eunuchs and wealthy businessmen.
Wang Lun nodded and said: "I have set up a school, stabilized the scholars in Shaanxi, and reclaimed the barren tuntian without barriers." It's about the future, the future of Shaanxi, let's show our old face and fight him!"
Wang Song nodded. Things are always about one trigger and the whole body. If you want to restore Hexi and recover Western Xia, how can you succeed without strong logistical support?
Early in the morning of the second day, the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion under the rule of Xuanfu Division posted a notice, and the officials walked the streets and alleys to publicize that the government wanted to build an "administrative college" and a hope school, and that the "Guanxue" should also become an independent academy. This matter became known to the whole city of Jingzhao Mansion, and everyone discussed it.
There is also Wang Song, the prime minister of Xuanfu, who personally sat in the town to comfort the good people and share the worries of the country.
"Outside the staff, now the front of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion is lively, and many people are donating money and materials, saying that they want to build an academy."
In the main hall of a mansion in Jingzhaofu City, the subordinate said respectfully.
"Donate silver?"
Zheng Tu sat on his sister-in-law, and in the glass in his hand, half a cup of tea.
He nodded, and with a wink, his servant hurriedly lifted the delicate Hebei iron-making kettle from the honeycomb coal stove and carefully filled the teacup for him.
"The Loyal and Righteous Army is not bad, but I'm afraid that the official is not a thing!"
Zheng Tu took a sip of tea lightly, and then raised his head.
"What the hell is this government going to do? Could it be that he was thinking of a way to get Lao Tzu to donate money and materials, and in the end, all the things went into the pockets of the dog officials?"
Outside the staff, the notice said that the government does not touch the silver, and all the "Guanxue" Confucians in Guanzhong are responsible. For those who donate money, the government will issue a plaque to encourage them. In addition, the names of donors will be engraved on a new stone monument erected in front of the college. ”
Zheng Tu was excited, in this way, it was an opportunity to make a name for himself.
"Zheng Fu, did the notice say how much silver you have to donate?"
The family hurriedly replied: "Outside the staff, there is no stipulation on the notice, but the donated silver and the donor's name are put together and engraved on the stone tablet."
Zheng Tu nodded slightly. If it doesn't work, donate him three or five hundred yuan, and save the government from harassing him all day long.
"What is this new school for?"
"I heard that it is run by the government, and all the young people who are excellent in learning go to school in it, and when they come out in the future, they will be local officials. In addition, there is also a "Guanxue" in the outer hall
Academy", and the students who enter it must study. ”
"This is a good thing, Mr. Hengqu's doctrine can finally enter the house."
Zheng Tu's heart moved. Wang Song is a martial artist, which makes him inexplicably have a good impression, if it is those scholars who are arrogant and arrogant, he will not be interested.
"Do you know who is in charge of this donation, who is donating the silver now, and how much is the maximum?"
"Outside the staff, it is Wang Lun of Jingzhao Mansion who presides over it."
Zheng Fu recalled carefully, gushing.
When the villain came back, the largest donation was Liu Butcher on East Street, he donated 2,000 yuan, and Wang Xianggong personally inscribed a plaque to him. Liu Tu Fule's eyes couldn't be opened. The villain could see clearly that the plaque was written with the words "Zephi Baidai". ”
Advertise, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, you can cache to read books and read aloud offline!
"Wang Xianggong picked up the pen? Do you see clearly, it's the famous Wang Xianggong, Wang Tiegun?"
Outside the staff, the villain can see clearly, Wang Xianggong is only in his twenties and looks dignified. There are many soldiers behind him, who are much more majestic than the prefect. As for this inscription, some of them are inscribed by the prefect and some are inscribed by the king. ”
Zheng Tu was taken aback, and he didn't expect that the famous Wang Song and Wang Xianggong would come to Shaanxi.
"Butcher Liu, how could he donate so much silver as a pig killer, could his silver have been robbed?"
Zheng Tu was shocked, a pig killer donated so much money, and it was Wang Song's own question!
"Master, don't you know, Butcher Liu's son-in-law is a well-known wealthy businessman in Xingping County, and I don't know how much he has earned over the years. Not only did Butcher Liu donate silver this time, but his son-in-law also donated 500 yuan, so I wonder if all this money was paid by him!"
Zheng Tu suddenly realized that this Liu butcher's son-in-law was really smart. His wealth is not exposed, he let his father-in-law come out, and he also has a good relationship with the government, he is really a master.
However, he has been in business for generations, and he is rich enough to rival the country, and he is not afraid of any wealth that will not be exposed. He has a large group of subordinates, and he is also powerful.
Since he came to Jingzhao Mansion for business, the local gentry in Shaanxi did not approve of him very much. Why, it's not because I haven't read a book for a few years, my demeanor is vulgar, and I'm completely coarse!
"Zheng Fu, you immediately bring three thousand yuan, no, five thousand yuan. I want these birdmen in Shaanxi to get to know me Zheng Tu again, and I wonder if Wang Xianggong will appreciate me!"
"Outside, what if someone gives more money than us?"
"You're stupid, you don't even understand this!"
Zheng Tu looked at his honest family with disdain, after following him for so many years, it was still so rotten and difficult to carve.
"If someone exceeds 5,000 yuan, we will surpass him, saying that there is still silver in the back, but on the way, anyway, we don't lack this bit of silver!"
He has been running to Sichuan and Shaanxi for a long time to do salt, cloth, grain and other businesses, and his family has a big business, thousands of taels of silver, but he really doesn't pay attention to it.
What's more, this loyal army, his impression is not bad. can beat the fans away, and the corpses are all over the field, so that the army can rest assured.
"Zheng Fu, as long as you can get in touch with Wang Xianggong, don't say 5,000 yuan, just donate 50,000 yuan, and I don't care about it!"
He changed his attention in an instant, and said to Zheng Fu, who was the boss with his eyes open: "You go to the account room now, and prepare 10,000 yuan immediately." Isn't there still so much backlog of cloth at home, put on two carts, and bring a cart of rice, flour, grain and oil, and donate them to the government together!"
"Outside, really take 10,000?"
Zheng Fu was dumbfounded, stupidly unable to distinguish the master in front of him.
"Don't go yet! I'll come as soon as I change my clothes!"
Seeing the surprised look of his subordinates, Zheng Tu urged again and again, and he also went to the backyard.
I heard that this prince is simple and approachable by nature, so he still shouldn't dress too fancy, so as not to fall short.
