On the first day of the seventh month of the sixth year of Yande, Emperor Guo Peng issued a holy decree.

The general meaning of the holy decree is that after thinking about it for a long time and discussing it with his courtiers, the emperor felt that there was a big problem with the education model of our Wei State at present.

That is, the number of talents educated is not enough.

The power of the Wei Imperial government is very large, so there are many things to do, and there is a special demand for officials.

After careful consideration and field investigation, the emperor found that the reason for this situation was that there was a problem with the current model of flourishing private learning and declining official learning.

The number of talents that can be cultivated by private schools is small and cannot keep up with the needs of the government, while the existing government schools can train even fewer people, and they cannot keep up with the demand.

This will not work, there will be problems if this continues, and there will be problems with the governance ability of the Wei government.

This will not work.

So the emperor slapped his head and decided to make some changes, he wanted to reform, change the existing education model, make the unreasonable status quo reasonable, and make everything look full of vitality.

The method of reform is also very easy to understand, the emperor wants to increase the enrollment amount of Taixue, expand the scope of Taixue's education, and enhance Taixue's educational ability.

After the official speech was finished, the emperor said that because of the help of the virtuous ministers who gave up his small family for everyone, he was able to mark the existing Pentateuch law with punctuation marks, so that the Pentateuch law was clear at a glance and could be easily read without using sentences.

In this way, it can greatly improve the educational efficiency of Taixue, and can greatly reduce the burden on students, so that they do not have to spend too much time learning sentence reading.

Instead, you can spend more time studying the scriptures.

With fixed punctuation, the teacher can concentrate on explaining the meaning of the scriptures, and does not need to spend time explaining how to break sentences and how to understand, just follow the script.

In this way, more and more excellent students can be cultivated.

When there is no paper, students can only listen to the teacher and rely on memory to remember, if the memory is good, it is advantageous, and if the memory is poor, it is a disadvantage.

And many times the teacher only talks once, not much, and many times students have to rely on themselves to explore, or ask others for advice, which is very inconvenient.

After all, bamboo slips are heavy, expensive, and can write few words, which is not suitable for class notes.

With paper that is cheap and light enough, students can take advantage of the advantages of paper in class, record the essence of the teacher's lectures, and after class, they can also use the notes recorded in class for self-study.

Reviewing the past and learning the new can be a teacher.

That's it.

The emperor struggled for many years, and was finally able to implement the idea of Confucius back then.

The reason why the emperor did this was to consider the study of all scholars, hoping that they could study better and more efficiently.

There aren't too many books right now.

The emperor has arranged for someone to transcribe urgently, and when the time comes, he hopes that the Taixue students can form a study group of five or ten people on their own, and each group will be given a book to study collectively.

This is the meaning of this holy decree, and it is not issued separately to Shangshutai so that Shangshutai is responsible for announcing it to the outside world, but directly sending many copies to various court offices, which is equivalent to the emperor's direct announcement to the public.

Many officials were quite surprised and shocked by this, and they didn't know what was going on, so they asked each other and each other's superiors, but they all got an answer like "I don't know".

For a time, all the scholars and officials were in a panic.

In contrast, officials from poor families are much calmer.

After they carefully read the Emperor's decree, they suddenly felt that this was a good thing for them.

The emperor is going to abolish private learning and revitalize official learning.

Since the mid-to-late Han Dynasty, the prosperity of private learning and the decline of official learning have been the general trend, and nothing has changed for decades.

Now all of a sudden, official learning is about to rise, and aren't they the biggest beneficiaries of living on Taixue?

Scholars and officials and their children have always looked down on Taixue, and only studied in their private schools, holding high positions, and the poor officials hated him, but there was nothing they could do.

But things seem to have changed a little now.

It must be said that before Guo Peng did this matter, he did not communicate with any high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and the news was strictly blocked and not leaked, so even the closest ministers were completely unclear about this, and they didn't understand what was going on at all.

Cao Cao was blocked by a group of cabinet officials in the cabinet and asked questions, and everyone thought that he must know something.

But in fact, Cao Cao really didn't know anything.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen! Calm down! I really don't know what's going on with this, I still think it's strange, and I'm about to ask Your Majesty what's going on! Gentlemen, don't be impatient! ”

Cao Cao sweated profusely to appease the flustered scholars and officials in the cabinet.

Xu Shu and a few other officials from humble backgrounds took a wait-and-see attitude towards this, and they soon realized that this matter was beneficial to them, so they decided to wait and see the situation.

Cao Cao actually doesn't care about this matter, his family is not a classic inheritance family, Guo Peng wants to abolish private learning and promote official learning It will be a lot of benefits for him, at least his children will be able to learn the same things as scholars in the future, without worrying about being inferior to scholars.

But in the face of so many inquiries from his subordinates, Cao Cao also felt a headache, so he had to use the excuse to ask Guo Peng what was going on, and quickly left the cabinet.

As a result, on the way to reach Fengtian Palace, Cao Cao met Cheng Yu, Tian Feng, Xi Zhong and other high-ranking officials of the imperial court, who also looked serious and nervous, just like himself.

It seems that everyone has not been notified in advance, and no one knows what His Majesty the Emperor is going to do, and he is definitely not the only one who is unclear.

After figuring this out, he breathed a sigh of relief - he also thought that he had been excluded from the center of power again, or that he had done something to make Guo Peng unhappy.

Now that he has even seen Guo Jia in the group of officials, he is relieved.

and Cheng Yu, who had an unkind face, glanced at each other, and then after both shook their stinky faces, Cao Cao approached Guo Jia anxiously.

"Fengxiao, what's going on? How did I not know about this at all? ”

"I don't know, it seems to have happened very suddenly, and there was no news before."

Guo Jia looked at a large group of hurried officials around him, and said: "It seems that everyone doesn't know about this matter, Your Majesty has not communicated with anyone before doing things, we are all the same, but ...... There's one more thing I've heard. ”

"What?"

Cao Cao's face changed.

"Those families, Yuan Si, Xun You, as well as Kong Xian and Jia Kui, seem to have been summoned by His Majesty some time ago, I don't know what happened, and no one cared at that time.

As a result, today, His Majesty suddenly issued the holy decree to all the official offices, which frightened everyone. ”

Guo Jia sighed for a while: "I don't know what the situation is on Your Majesty's side, anyway, I really don't know here, Your Majesty is really strict this time." ”

"Your Majesty has always been rigorous, and it seems that this matter has been planned for a long time."

Cao Cao pursed his lips: "For such a long time, no news has been leaked, it seems that Your Majesty really didn't plan to tell anyone before this, but planned to make the matter done and then announced, and now it seems that this matter has been done." ”
