Chapter 36: The Big Bull is Coming
The three-character classic, for the structure of three characters and one sentence, catchy, easy to understand, and "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text" and known as the three major readings of traditional Mongolian studies, collectively known as "three hundred thousand".
Its content covers history, astronomy, geography, morality and some folklore.
The core idea of the Three Character Classic is "benevolence, righteousness, sincerity, respect, filial piety", when reciting the "Three Character Classic", you can not only understand all kinds of common sense and many historical stories, but also learn some principles of being a person and doing things.
Although some of the contents of the Three Character Classic seem to be spiritual dross in later generations, they are extremely suitable in this era, and even more applicable than many enlightenment books in later generations.
At least for a short period of time, there is no problem at all in using the Three Character Sutra as an enlightenment reading material for primary school students.
As for the hundred family names and thousand-character texts juxtaposed with them, Zhao Heng can also get them out in the future.
Anyway, now that paper has been basically popularized in Xianyang, and these guards are already proficient in movable type printing, it is not difficult to print new textbooks.
For the time being, the curriculum of the first class of primary school only has the three-character scripture and the Zhao number.
In addition to these two courses, the teachers mainly teach them to write simplified Chinese and speak Mandarin.
When they reach the second grade, the teacher will start teaching the real primary school curriculum, such as phonics, sentence formation, basic math, and so on.
This set of processes has been practiced in Baiyucheng for three years, and now that it is directly applied, there will naturally be no problems.
"Sir, can these three character scriptures be extended to the entire Great Qin?"
Ying Zheng's eyes looked at Zhao Heng and asked.
"Naturally, you can, but there are no private schools in other counties, no public schools, and even suitable teachers, so I am afraid it will be difficult to promote."
Zhao Heng groaned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister plans to build primary schools in various counties one after another, so that all the sons of Daqin can read and write. ”
Although limited by transportation and teachers, it is basically impossible to have at least one primary school in every county of Daqin in a short period of time, but he can take it step by step and build a primary school in three months or even half a year, which should not be difficult.
What's more, the train has begun to be developed, and the railway is being laid, once the railway begins to open to traffic, whether it is the transportation of materials or the deployment of talents, it will no longer be a problem.
And at that time, Zhao Heng's goal of popularizing education in Daqin will definitely be able to take a big step forward.
Promoting education, enlightening the people's wisdom, and revising the law and popularizing the law are Zhao Heng's top priorities at present.
Of course, he also attached great importance to the encouragement of commerce, the development of industry, and the development of new firearms.
"Good, great good!"
Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.
"Zhao Xiangyu Daqin, it is really a great merit!"
Wang Jian also praised and agreed.
Since returning to Xianyang, he has never called Mr. Zhao Heng again.
Not because Zhao Heng became the prime minister, but because he already regarded Zhao Heng as the emperor, and thought that only His Majesty was qualified to call Zhao Heng Mr. Yi.
Ying Zheng, Zhao Heng, and Wang Jian Junchen stood outside the window of the classroom, listened to the entire three-character scripture, and then went to the cafeteria to eat a student meal.
The chef of the canteen is naturally brought over by Zhao Heng from Baiyucheng, although his skills are not as good as the top chefs of later generations, he is also proficient in stir-frying, boiling, burning, steaming, frying, frying, stewing, stewing, boiling, stewing, roasting, marinating and other skills.
The standard of student meals is two vegetarian dishes, one meat and one soup, and the staple foods are rice, vermicelli and so on.
Today's dishes are hot and sour shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and back to the pot, and the soup is jade and white jade soup, which tastes pretty good.
After the three kings and ministers had eaten and drunk enough, they went back to their respective mansions.
……
"My lord, there is a person named Han Xin who is out asking to see you."
Not long after Zhao Heng returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, a guard came to report.
"Han Xin?"
Zhao Heng's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Invite him in." ”
When he was in Baiyu City, he thought about recruiting this big bull, but all the people he sent out returned in vain.
Unexpectedly, now the other party actually took the initiative to come to him.
Others may not know, but Zhao Heng knows very well that in this era, there are only a handful of big bulls who can compete with Han Xin.
Not to mention Han Xin's ability to bend and stretch, in terms of his military talent, he is better than Wang Qian.
Han Xin, one of the four saints of the military family, the representative of the ancient military thought of "military power strategist", later generations are regarded as "soldier immortals" and "god marshal", he is also a figure in history of "princely generals", and Xiao He, Zhang Liang are listed as the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, and Peng Yue, Yingbu and called the three famous generals of the early Han Dynasty.
According to historical records, when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Han Xin, as the commander, led the army out of Chencang, set the three Qin, captured Wei, broke the dynasty, destroyed Zhao, descended Yan, and cut Qi, until the Chu army was completely annihilated, and there was no defeat in the world, and no one in the world could compete with it.
He was praised by Xiao He as "the unparalleled warrior of the country", and Liu Bang also commented: "The battle must be won, the attack must be won, I am not as good as Han Xin", and the world rated it as "the merit is unique, and it is slightly unborn".
Han Xin and Zhang Liang renovated the book of war, wrote three articles on the art of war, he was familiar with the art of war, once said that the more soldiers the better, and there were more Ming plank road, secretly crossing Chencang, Linjin set up suspicions, Xia Yang smuggling, Mu Poppy crossed the river, fought against the water, pulled out the flag and changed the banner, passed on the coffin, Shen Sha broke the water, half crossed and attacked and other famous cases, the way of using soldiers, respected by the soldiers of all dynasties.
When Zhao Heng saw this, he couldn't help but call it awesome.
Because of this, among the talents he wants to recruit the most, Han Xin is definitely at the top of the list.
It's just that Han Xin's road to fame seems to be quite bumpy.
It is said that Han Xin's family was poor in his early years, and he often sent food from others, and even drilled under a butcher's crotch in public, which is the famous "humiliation of the crotch"!
Later, Xiang Liang rebelled, and Han Xin went north to join him, but he was not reused and has not been able to make a difference.
After Xiang Liang's death, Han Xin belonged to Xiang Yu's subordinates, and in order to be reused, he offered his advice to Xiang Yu many times, but Xiang Yu abandoned it.
In the end, Han Xin, who was depressed, chose to escape from Chu Ying and took refuge in Liu Bang, but he didn't expect that he still failed to be reused, and only became an obscure petty official.
Later, although he was appreciated by Xiahou Ying and worshiped Su Duwei, it was still difficult to display his ambitions, so he planned to leave again.
However, just when Han Xin escaped from the Han camp, Xiao He chased him back overnight and made a statement to Liu Bang, Han Xin was finally reused, and since then he has shown his amazing military talent, risen rapidly, and walked out of his legendary road.
This is also the "Xiao He chasing Han Xin at night" that was passed down by later generations as a beautiful talk!
Zhao Heng calculated the time, Han Xin at this time should still be just a down-and-out idler.
The reason why he dares to come directly to him, the prime minister, is probably because he knows that he is selecting various talents from the people.
In short, no matter what the reason for Han Xin to come directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find him, he can be regarded as having picked up a treasure.
If the training is good, the future commander of the three armed forces will not run.
