Seven hundred and seventy-three The third step will never end
Looking at the workshop in the distance, Guo Peng slowly shook his head.
"I thought about it a long time ago, long ago five years ago, but to do such a thing, you need the corresponding strength, without strength, just talk about the goal, just talk big."
Guo Peng took Guo Jin's hand and said with a smile: "Having said that, this is the first step, and the second step will face more and more obstacles, just having papermaking and printing is not enough, what we need is strong execution." ”
"Not only to let the children of Haoqiang get the inheritance of knowledge, but also to let the father's policy be implemented at the local grassroots, so that the children of Li Shu can also study! And the ultimate goal is to let Li Shu also read! ”
Guo Jin was very excited.
"Yes, but it's too difficult, Ah Jin, it's not something that can be done by talking."
Guo Peng asked Guo Jin to sit down, and then said seriously: "Reading has never been a simple thing, don't talk about all the problems, first of all, people who read have no time to work, that is to say, people who study have to take off production and not farm."
With the financial resources of a Li Shu family, it is extremely difficult to support a scholar who does not farm and only eats, and the grain output and family wealth are simply difficult to support their study and education, and the Li Shu family wants to eat a full stomach, and the child must go to the field to cultivate at the age of eleven or twelve, and work hard for a lifetime, otherwise, he will be hungry. ”
"This ...... What to do? The government pays for them so that they can let their children study? ”
Guo Jin asked tentatively.
"The government must pay to help, otherwise, it is impossible to let the children of the Li Shu family study, books, tuition, all of which we have to pay, and even subsidize their food, so that those who study can get food from the government, so as to ensure that the Li Shu family does not go bankrupt."
Guo Peng took a deep breath: "However, this is a great burden and expenditure for the finances, such a sum of money is invested, first of all, not to mention others, whether our finances can afford it, this is very debatable, and the specific amount is, no one knows."
Moreover, in this way, no results can be seen in a short period of time, at least for several years before the initial results are achieved, and in this way, they will inevitably be blocked and resisted by the soldiers with all their might, and by all means, they will definitely not sit idly by.
Although the father is here, they may not dare to act on the bright side because of the prestige of the father, but if the father is gone, it is difficult to say, how did the nobles of the Qi State treat the scholars in the Jixia School Palace back then, and in the future, how these scholars will treat the people in our school.
Therefore, Ah Jin, not only must you adhere to this policy for your father, but you also have to win over Haoqiang who has a certain strength, so that Haoqiang can also spontaneously maintain his father's policy and maintain the imperial examination, and let Haoqiang also know that the imperial examination is the foundation of their fight against scholars. ”
"I will persevere, father, I will definitely persevere!"
Guo Jin immediately made a guarantee.
Guo Peng shook his head.
"You will naturally insist, because this is what you have to do, to stabilize the throne, to make the Wei country permanent, it is necessary to do this, but whether you can take over as your father and do these things, it's hard to say, it's really hard to say, because even the father himself is not sure if he can do it."
"But father, this must be done, whether it can be done or not, this must be done, we have no way out, right?"
Guo Jin looked at Guo Peng.
At this moment, Guo Peng suddenly saw his original self from Guo Jin's body.
So Guo Peng smiled slightly.
"Yes, it must be done no matter what, so what my father hopes most is that the local government will set up a Mongolian school in the village, a township school in the township, and a county school in the county, so that the children of Li Shu can study and grow up in these three-level schools, and after graduating from the county school, they can participate in the imperial examination, and then the outstanding ones can be selected as officials."
Guo Peng said to Guo Jin with great interest: "This is still a not very mature design, it is the initial idea of the father, so that the children of Haoqiang and Li Shu can have the knowledge that is not lost to the children of the scholars after these three levels of study. ”
"That's ...... You really can! Let the scholars lose their advantage, the scholars will naturally not continue to exist, no one can compete with the emperor for power and profit, and when the time comes, the mountains and rivers of the Wei Chamber will inevitably be stable. ”
Guo Jin was very happy.
As a result, Guo Peng shook his head again.
"That's not the case, Ah Jin, after losing the advantages of bloodline inheritance knowledge and official position, the scholars will naturally not exist, but at that time, the main contradiction in the entire Wei State will not be the contradiction between the scholars and the powerful Li Shu, but will become the contradiction between the monarch and the people and Li Shu again."
The excitement on Guo Jin's face suddenly disappeared, and his complexion slowly became serious.
He remembered what Guo Peng had said to him before.
"That's what my father said, the whole world is constantly changing, everything is in dynamic equilibrium, everything is going to change over time, it's not going to be the same?"
"Yes, the third step of reform, the third step after the success of the imperial examination, is to deal with the changes after the disappearance of the scholars, the scholars have disappeared, but what they have to do will not disappear, the original Haoqiang and Li Shu have become new people through the imperial examination, and they will continue to do what the scholars have done."
Guo Peng nodded: "No matter when, such a thing will not end, since you are the emperor, there is no way out, if you don't maintain the dynamic balance in this world, our Wei State will still follow the old path of the Han family."
The only difference is that they must rely on the imperial examination to obtain official positions, and cannot continue to rely on blood to inherit hereditary official positions, they are no longer nobles, and their status can be replaced at any time rather than irreplaceable.
Therefore, they can no longer threaten the emperor, but they will still ask the emperor for power in the central government, and embezzle land and population in the local area, and what they do will not change, it will always be.
As a king, we need to constantly suppress the old bureaucrats, promote the new bureaucrats, and when the new bureaucrats are old, then suppress the old ones and promote the new ones, and so on, and maintain a balance in the dynamics. ”
Once, the scholars paid a terrible price in order to break the bloodline inheritance of the pre-Qin nobles.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, the scholars created a prosperous Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, where hundreds of schools of thought contended, and finally relied on the Qin State to obtain the qualification to be an official from the hands of the nobles, and completed the first academic downward movement, changing the situation of learning in the government.
But now, the scholars have transformed into a new aristocracy, more aristocratic than the aristocracy, and what they do is exactly the same as those bloodline nobles at the beginning, and they have done everything else, turning official learning into family learning and private learning, which is still closed.
What they did and the attitude they upheld were the main culprits who pulled the Han nation into the long night of 400 years, and until the Tang Dynasty, the residual poison of the Shi clan was still slowly eroding the vitality of the Tang Dynasty.
The scholars used the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years to defeat the nobles, and the common people also used the longer chaotic years of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and even the Sui and Tang dynasties and ten kingdoms to defeat the scholars.
How bloody and long the process was.
Guo Jin understood what Guo Peng meant.
"So, father, this third step will never end?"
Guo Peng nodded.
"Yes, it will never end, it will be going on all the time, if there is really a day when it cannot continue, it will be when the Emperor of Wei loses power, that is, the beginning of the fall of Wei."
