Li Xuan felt the need to mention Liu Bagou, don't go further and further on the crooked road of the Four Books and Five Classics, and finally crash into a dead end.

Are the Four Books and Five Classics useful? There must be some, for example, it is very useful to quote scriptures and classics to praise Li Xuan, the eternal saint, and occasionally dropping the head of the book is also a good strategy to pretend to be stupid and crazy.

But for the Tang Dynasty, what it needs is not a reader who can drop his head, but a group of officials.

And officials and literati are two different things!

The official does not have any big requirements for poetry, books and articles, even if it is to raise the requirements to the height of Mount Everest, but it is enough to recognize hundreds of commonly used words!

Playing with conspiracies and tricks, harming the country and harming the people does not need much profound literary talent, as long as the heart is black enough, the illiterate can also be an official, and it is often good to mix, and it is not impossible to accidentally mix into the pool of too liquid.

The same is true of the Tang Dynasty, it does not need too many gorgeous literati, touting how awesome the Tang Dynasty is, how awesome Li Xuan is, Wang Wenhua alone is enough, and it is better for others to do something practical.

Li Xuan is now in urgent need of a large number of officials who can understand basic knowledge and be able to read and write basic official documents, rather than a group of literati who are also in need of a group of scholars.

Therefore, Li Xuan said: "The sage classics contain the truth of heaven and earth, and if you want to understand the scriptures, even if you are a good talent and beautiful jade, you will have to carve it for at least ten years, and the mountain people are stupid, I am afraid that it will be difficult to become a talent if they are given twenty or thirty years!" ”

When Li Xuan said this, he used more cautious words and took care of Liu Bagou's face, he knew that Liu Bagou had always regarded himself as a scholar, even if he wore a Taoist robe every day, he was still proud of being a scholar.

On weekdays, he attaches great importance to the decency of scholars, and he is always proud of being a scholar, so if he says in front of Liu Bagou that the Four Books and Five Classics are useless in his family and country, this is undoubtedly a denial of all his values and even his entire life.

As smart as Li Xuan, naturally he would not do this, he just said that the four books and five classics are such sage classics that ordinary people can't learn, which inadvertently raises the status of the four books and five classics a lot, and satisfies the vanity of a reader like Liu Bagou.

If he could, Li Xuan planned to continue to elevate the status of the Four Books and Five Classics in the Tang Dynasty, until ordinary people felt awe-inspiring when they saw the names of these scriptures, and looked like they were looking at the books of heaven.

Wow, such a profound Four Books and Five Classics can not be learned by ordinary people like me, this has to let those great writers hide in the library to study, we ordinary people should just learn some vernacular literature and arithmetic, Gewu and the like.

Liu Bagou listened to Li Xuan's words, and his face really showed a hint of pride, and he nodded slightly: "This is a good word, it took three years for the ministers to enlighten the people, he went to university at the age of twelve, he read the Analects at the age of fourteen, and he began to learn the Five Classics after reading Mencius at the age of sixteen, and it took fifteen years to read through the scriptures. ”

But his pride made Li Xuan secretly despise him!

No wonder this Liu Bagou has such a deep grudge against the imperial examination in his life, not that he doesn't want to participate in the imperial examination, but that this person's level of scriptures is really limited, and it took him fifteen years to read the four books and five classics, and this qualification is also poor enough.

Scholars who are serious about the Eight Classics are generally enlightened at the age of four or five, begin to study the Four Books at the age of seven or eight, learn the Five Classics at the age of twelve or thirteen, and begin to take the imperial examination at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and the whole process is about ten years.

The most obvious example here is Li Xuan himself, why did his wife say that if it wasn't for the rebellion between the dead ghost and Liu Bagou, her baby son would have been admitted to Xiucai a long time ago?

Because Li Xuan had already completed the most basic education in the imperial examination era, he had memorized the four books and five classics backwards.

So Empress Dowager Bai really can't be wrong!

However, how old is Li Xuan? The year before last, he was fifteen years old when he first left the game, and then he passed the county exam, and he failed in the government exam, and he was only sixteen years old when Lear was proclaimed emperor, and you have to know that he is still a virtual age at this age!

If you are not unlucky and you are willing to continue to employ workers, it is not a big problem to spend a few years taking a show.

And Liu Bagou, it took fifteen years just to read these basic books, and this is far from the extent that you can participate in the imperial examination, to participate in the imperial examination, the most basic thing is to be able to memorize the four books and five classics upside down, and then all kinds of annotations are also familiar, otherwise the examiner will come up with a random question, you don't even know where this topic comes from, and write a fart eight-strand essay.

Liu Bagou has studied all his life, and he is not even as good as Li Xuan, a teenager, which shows that his reading qualifications are really bad.

Li Xuan sometimes wonders if this Liu Bagou has the idea of rebellion because he can't even pass the county test all these years, so he has the idea of rebellion because of love and hatred.

He remembered that many thieves in history, especially those who were born as scholars, came from this way, and the famous son of God, Boss Hong, was the most typical example.

Boss Hong is the same as Liu Bagou, they are extremely hard-working readers, and they haven't even been able to pass the show in their lives, Boss Hong is a little better, and they can still get to the hospital exam, only a little bit away from the fame of the show, and Liu Bagou didn't even pass the county exam.

But when I think about it, it seems that I am also a fallen person.

Damn, do all the unsuccessful scholars like rebellion so much?

Li Xuan shook his head slightly, put these messy thoughts in his heart behind, and then said to Liu Bagou: "Talent is hard to find, it can't be achieved quickly in just a few months, but my Datang is in urgent need of a cadre who can be read and read, Aiqing might as well be flexible, choose one or two smart people to focus on teaching, and the rest of the general generations can teach them to recognize a few words and count a few numbers!" ”

"In this way, Aiqing, you don't have to spend too much time on this, you don't need to teach by word and deed, and there are more people who can teach at the same time!"

After hearing this, Liu Bagou pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, most of the literacy classes are indeed general, and they can only retreat!" ”

Li Xuan smiled and nodded: "Since this is the case, then the enlightenment over there of the Ministry of Engineering will also be merged into the current literacy class!" ”

After such a conversation with Liu Bagou today, Li Xuan was even more hopeful that Liu Bagou and they could teach some good students.

But it's not good to find someone else, is it possible that he still has to be a teacher himself like other traversers?

But he can't be a teacher!

That's it, don't think about these things first, let's let Liu Bagou and them do a good job of enlightenment, and then think of a way to see if they can make up a textbook for them to learn by themselves, if it doesn't work, they will be a primary school teacher.

He is an undergraduate, even if it is only three books, but it should not be a problem to teach a group of ancient natives such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, basic physics, chemistry, astronomy, etc.!

Well, there should be no problem, smart as yourself, you can't teach a group of natives to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, just kidding!
