Chapter 593: Classmates
"It is said that parents are their children's first teachers, and the queen has not been a teacher before." Liu Tao saw Cai Yan's surprised appearance and patted her hand.
After a pause, he continued: "Before the construction of the Noble Academy is completed, I hope to open a class, which is about twenty or thirty people. Let's start with literacy, arithmetic, martial arts, and archery, and then open others one after another. In terms of literacy, I hope that the queen will be the teacher, and she is also the head teacher of this class, to help keep an eye on the progress of each subject. ”
"There are so many great Confucians, why do you need concubines to teach?" Cai Yan is still a little unconfident.
"First of all, I don't want them to be mixed with private goods in the process of teaching. No matter what school of thought, if it can't affect me, it will set its sights on the prince. In the end, all the princes may represent a doctrine, and the battle for heirs will eventually develop into a dispute between the agents of the school, hmph, they are so bold to regard the royal family as a place for school strife! Liu Tao replied.
In the past, when I watched movies and historical documents, I knew that no one would care so much. Now that it concerns itself, the problem is naturally much more serious.
The most important thing is Confucianism, which is worthy of being the existence of 'Confucianism', at least the brainwashing of benevolence, filial piety and etiquette can fool a small child lame.
What's bad is that most of the Confucians in these years will start with "Zuo's Spring and Autumn". And they will add some private goods and say it as history.
Children themselves lack toys and means of entertainment, and of course they will be attracted when they hear it, and if they take the opportunity to instill some Confucian ideas, no one will be able to fail to be tricked.
Thinking of this, Liu Tao even felt that he could consider finding the Ministry of Rites and editing a copy of "Romance of the Eastern Han Dynasty".
"Your Majesty still seems to have a lot of concerns about Confucianism?" Cai Yan tried to ask.
"Although I call myself a son of a ram, I only like part of his scholarship. But I believe that no matter whether it is a school, it can be used by me, and I can gather the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, and then I can find the right way. Liu Tao replied, "And I am now the emperor, and all the academics should be used by me, not a certain school." Whatever school of scholarship is useful to the royal family, use this theory of whom. ”
In the final analysis, the way to govern the country is nothing more than to keep pace with the times and adapt measures to local conditions. There has never been an academic scholarship that can be used for a lifetime, or even forever, and it is no longer appropriate to say that Confucius's remarks are no longer appropriate in modern times.
Otherwise, the wolf spirit, the wolf totem, this kind of thinking, there is no soil for survival at all, it can only be said that in a certain period, there is destined to be some kind of thinking and scholarship that conforms to the times and the people's hearts, even if it is wrong or biased.
The reason why the state spends so much money to support these scholars is nothing more than the idea that can be suitable for current values at any time. From the eight honors and eight shames, to the core values, in fact, it is the same thing.
Ordinary people don't recognize it or not, but at least let more people who want to know where the right path is, know a right direction. There are always two sides to human nature, and the state is at most to guide, and there is no way to force who must do something.
That kind of situation is more likely to appear in dystopian movies, and unfortunately, most of the governments that do so are basically villains in this kind of movie.
"Your Majesty has always been pragmatic." Cai Yan smiled, after getting along for so many years, what kind of character Liu Tao has, isn't she clear? Any school of thought is fake, and Liu Tao is a pure utilitarian.
In fact, similar to this kind of utilitarian, the university schools are the most afraid, especially the emperor is a utilitarian, so it is possible to waste a lot of national strength and people's power for some illusory things.
What Liu Tao pursues is not a small personal merit or small profit, but a nation's great merit. There are many things, and even now I can't see anything, and it is estimated that it will take a few years, decades to understand his layout.
These things, in the eyes of many people, are representatives of labor and money. It is also the entry point for countries to criticize Liu Tao.
The problem is that Liu Tao doesn't care about them at all, just because he knows very well what kind of picture these things will look like when they really come into play.
If you find out the mystery and then follow it, then it's too late. And blindly follow him to learn, and in the end, I don't know how crooked it will be.
The traverser itself is the biggest golden finger, and spells are more used for initial accumulation, if this thing can't be passed on, then it is destined to be inferior to science and technology.
Even if it can be passed on, Liu Tao doesn't dare to pass it on, in case someone can't think of it, he will smash it everywhere with a meteor shower, and directly set back the Chinese civilization by three or five hundred years, and even enter the theocratic era, it is estimated that he is also guilty.
"What are you doing when it's not practical? Touting their great achievements, or whitewashing this peaceful and prosperous era? Liu Tao said with a smile, "That kind of touted work, the Ministry of Rites has become more and more hands-on." Taiping, that's the people's decision, not me. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Speaking of which, you can't let Cong'er and Qiong'er go to school, and you have to find some classmates for them, are there any candidates?" ”
"If you choose someone...... Xun Yu's eldest son, Xun Ji, is good, and he has the style of a father. Originally, my health was not very good, but I have recently recuperated; Cao Cao's second son, Cao Pi, was the same year as Cong'er Qiong'er; Zhong Yu, the eldest son of Zhong Xuan, is about ......the same age," Cai Yan said slowly.
"How do you know so well?" Seeing that Cai Yan had listed more than 30 people, Liu Tao couldn't help but be surprised.
"There's nothing strange about it." Cai Yan smiled faintly, "Your Majesty is in charge of the world's affairs. Within the concubines, the correspondence is naturally also the family of all the courtiers, and if there are more contacts, they will naturally know. ”
The level of the queen is not something that everyone can see. However, those who can be seen are naturally the families of important ministers.
The second generation of these courtiers is likely to become the team of their own children, so Cai Yan is naturally concerned, especially those who are about the same age, basically pay attention, both men and women.
Let's not mention that Liu Tao allows women to participate in the imperial examination, let's just say that to Cong'er and Qiong'er, looking for a marriage partner, that is also a trivial interest of motherhood.
Liu Tao didn't expect that there were so many people of the same age. Men and women put together, and a class is done.
"It's just that in the list, there is still Fushou?" Liu Tao was a little puzzled.
"Fu Shou is eleven years old this year, a little older, but not much older." Cai Yan explained, "It's still Cong'er and Qiong'er's cousins, so I can take care of them." ”
"I see...... "Liu Tao thought thoughtfully, why is Fu Shou only eleven years old? That's nothing to think about!
