Chapter 134: Compulsory Education

"Unity of thought, unity of national consciousness?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly, as if he didn't think so.

Not only Ying Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, but even the civil and military officials present also sighed and shook their heads.

Li Yang was surprised, could it be that he said this idea...... Something is wrong?

"Your Majesty, do you think it's inappropriate?" Li Yang wondered.

Ying Zheng shook his head and sighed: "It's not inappropriate, but to unify thoughts and consciousness, and it's impossible to do it." ”

At this time, everyone also nodded: "Yes, how can people's thoughts be so easy to unify?" As the saying goes, it is difficult to regulate one's actions. ”

In fact, as for the problem that Li Yang mentioned that "the people of the six countries do not return", when the six countries were unified, Yingzheng had long been aware of it, and he had made great efforts to this end.

In order to unify the minds of the people of the six countries and change their consciousness, Ying Zheng specially built a doctor's hall in Xianyang Palace, placed hundreds of Confucian celebrities, sealed the official position of doctor, gave the highest status and honor, and even let Fusu worship the Confucian celebrity Chun Yuyue as a teacher, what is it for?

In fact, it is to help Daqin educate the people of the six countries and the people of the world with the help of these protégés and disciples of Confucius, so that they can love Daqin and regard Daqin as their own country.

But what about the end result?

These Confucian scholars, while enjoying the benefits given by Great Qin, are talking about his bad words behind their backs.

not only said that he was obsessed with immortal arts, but even said that he was a tyrant......

And the fact that he hoped to use them, the protégés of Confucius, to educate the people of the world, had the opposite effect under the influence of these Confucian scholars, making the people of the Six Kingdoms hate Great Qin even more.

Not only that, but later, these Confucian scholars actually began to oppose the county system, and united to force Yingzheng to restore the feudal system outside the Qilin Palace.

This made Ying Zheng unbearable, so he killed more than 400 Confucian scholars led by Chun Yuyue and burned their poetry books......

And the people of the world regard the evil of the first emperor and scold him for burning books and pit Confucianism. (In the previous chapter, many people said that the pit Confucianism was a killing warlock, but in fact, these are two different things, Professor Wang Liqun of the Hundred Lectures said, the first time he killed the warlock, and the last time he killed more than 400 Confucian scholars led by Chun Yuyue.) )

In short, in order to unify the thinking of the people of the six countries, Yingzheng paid too much, but in the end, what he gained was bitter water.

Now, when I hear Li Yang mention unifying thinking and consciousness again, do you think Ying Zheng can not shake his head and smile bitterly?

And it is precisely because of this precedent that the ministers of civil and military affairs in the DPRK know that the matter of unifying thinking cannot be done.

At this time, Li Si reminded Li Yang: "Prime Minister Zhong, His Majesty once relied on the protégé of the Confucian family in order to unify the thoughts of the people of the six countries, but ......"

Speaking of this, Li Si smiled bitterly and shook his head, it was not good to mention the matter of burning books and pit Confucianism.

Hearing this, Li Yang suddenly realized, and finally understood why they were so optimistic about this matter.

Knowing that the crux of the problem was over, this matter was easy to handle, Li Yang immediately said: "Your Majesty, although the old saying is good, you can regulate your actions, but it is difficult to regulate your heart, but people's thoughts are not impossible to shape, as long as you find the right way, my people in Daqin will be able to unify their thoughts!" ”

"Do you have a way?" Hearing Li Yang's determined tone, Ying Zheng was stunned.

Everyone looked at him curiously, wondering if this guy had any clever ideas?

Sure enough, I saw Li Yang nodding confidently and said, "The minister does have a way to shape the thinking and national consciousness of the people of Daqin." ”

Ying Zheng was speechless.

"How, let's hear it!"

Although Ying Zheng is a little unaccustomed to Li Yang's style of selling guanzi, the issue of unifying the people's ideology has always been an incurable heart disease in Ying Zheng's heart, and he wants to solve this problem too much, but he is helpless.

Now, listening to Li Yang confidently say that there is a way, hope is naturally ignited again.

Li Yang said: "Back to Your Majesty, in fact, the minister's method is very simple, that is, to implement compulsory education!" ”

"Compulsory education?"

Everyone was stunned!

Compulsory education...... What the hell is it?

Li Yang saw that everyone couldn't understand, so he had to explain: "To put it simply, it is mandatory for school-age children to accept learning, so that they should study and take it as an obligation, and every school-age child must do it." Therefore, the minister called it compulsory education! ”

"What? It is mandatory for children to read! ”

As soon as he heard this, the entire hall was in an uproar.

I thought Li Yang had any good way, it turned out to be ...... Or the same as before, let the protégés of the Kong family educate the children......

This...... Isn't this the same old way?

For a moment, everyone shook their heads and chuckled.

The protégé of the Confucian family, if he is willing to educate the children well, will not make the emperor helpless so far.

At this time, Feng Quji immediately came out and said: "Mr. Teaching in the world, most of them are protégés of the Confucian family, after the killing of Confucianism and burning books in that year, the Confucian scholars in the world have tried their best to slander my Great Qin, and ask them to do the job of education, heh, I am afraid that I will disappoint you Prime Minister Zhong!" ”

Everyone nodded.

Even Li Si shook his head this time, feeling that Li Yang's method this time was exactly the same as the method they had done at the beginning, and there was nothing new about it.

It didn't work with this method before, but after the book burning and Confucianism, I didn't even think about it.

At this time, Ying Zheng's brows also furrowed, and he was very displeased.

Li Yang has a whimsical plan every time, he thought that he would still be able to surprise himself this time, but he didn't expect that this time he would be disappointed.

Ying Zheng sighed and asked, "Li Yang, this is the good way you said?" ”

Li Yang smiled disappreciatively, and still said confidently: "Back to Your Majesty, although the minister's method seems to be similar to the strategy he did back then, it is actually very different." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Yang in surprise, and they were very puzzled.

Is there any difference between the compulsory learning of children and the policy of the past?

Ying Zheng didn't think so, and raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Li Yang said: "First, the education practiced back then was the Confucian scholars under Confucius to educate children, and the ministers called it human education. That is, the Confucian scholar taught his own thoughts, his own views on the Qin state, and his own knowledge to his students. The difference between compulsory education is that it is taught according to the material, the so-called material, refers to the books and textbooks compiled by my Daqin, and the knowledge of the textbooks is taught to the students by a special literacy gentleman, which is a big difference! ”

“…………”

Everyone was stunned.

Although everyone didn't understand what Li Yang said, they had already noticed the difference.

Ying Zheng also heard a hint of eyebrows, but he couldn't grasp the key point of Li Yang's words for a while, so he hurriedly said: "You talk about it carefully!" ”

Li Yang nodded, and then explained: "Your Majesty, when you wanted to rely on Confucianism to educate children, in fact, you wanted children to accept the ideas of Confucianism, which is wrong from the starting point. ”

Ying Zheng was shocked.

He suddenly discovered that he had never discovered the fatal problem that Li Yang said.

Ying Zheng didn't dare to interrupt Li Yang, and hurriedly said, "Go on!" ”

"Since I want to unify the thoughts and consciousness of the people, it is natural to shape the ideology and consciousness that is conducive to the prosperity of the people of our Great Qin. Therefore, how to teach and what to teach cannot be decided by the teacher himself, but must be taught strictly according to the textbooks specially compiled by my Daqin, so that as long as the ideas of the textbooks are not wrong, the knowledge and ideas that children have learned will naturally be correct. More importantly, as long as people who are literate can be teachers, they do not necessarily need Confucian scholars to teach. ”

When Li Yang said this, he couldn't help but smile when he saw that everyone was stunned, and then said: "The textbook can be divided into three subjects, one is literacy and writing, and it is called a Chinese class. A physical arithmetic is called a mathematics class. An ideological and moral character, called a political class. In this way, children can learn three subjects, be able to read, write, count, settle accounts, emphasize virtue, and shape their minds. When these children grow up, they can write chapters, count and manage accounts, and their thoughts are even more loyal and patriotic, aren't they all the pillars of my Great Qin? At the same time, you can choose its superiority and use it in Daqin. ”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's whole person was a little excited.

And everyone else was also surprised.

What Li Yang said was not only the head of the road, but also the method he said was extremely subtle, and even made people feel like they could see the sun.

Li Si was already excited, and the policy of using Confucian scholars to educate children was actually implemented by him, but the result was extremely bad.

And now, after listening to Li Yang's analysis, he found that there were so many problems in the government he did back then.

At the same time, he also found that the kind of education method that Li Yang said that relies on teaching materials is really feasible.

Thinking of this, do you think he can not get excited?

At that moment, he immediately asked, "How to compile the textbook?" ”

Li Yang replied: "Chinese textbooks are just literacy, so you can choose some classic poems." Mathematics textbooks are just numbers and arithmetic, the important thing is political textbooks, which must include basic moral thoughts, moral thoughts, common sense of law, and the achievements of our Great Qin to end the war in the world, of course, there are also General Meng Tian's expulsion of foreign enemies and guarding the border passes, which can also be compiled into it, and the specific can be discussed separately, in short, this homework is to unify the thinking and enhance the consciousness of our Chinese nation. ”

Everyone nodded, feeling that what Li Yang said was comprehensive enough.

Ying Zheng even praised it: "Good! That's a great way to do it! ”

He pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "If you want to implement this, the difficulty is not small!" ”

Well, to the point!

Li Yang immediately said to the emperor: "The difficulty is not small, and it takes a lot of effort to compile the teaching materials, so the minister suggested that the Education Department be added to be responsible for all matters of compulsory education and the compilation of teaching materials." ”

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and then immediately said: "Quasi-play!" You and Li Si are solely responsible for this matter! ”

"Whoa!"

Li Yang was overjoyed and hurriedly took the order with Li Si.

The Ministry of Education is finally about to be established!
