Chapter 193: Set up a school! 28/36
"The name of Tianjing City has been decided, if there is anything unhappy with the countries, then come and fight it!" Wei Ya shouted domineeringly.
When the ministers heard this, they no longer persuaded him, knowing that the king had made up his mind to change his name, alas, change it, anyway, no one dared to fight Wei, at least the surrounding countries did not dare.
"I don't know how big it should be?" Meng Ge asked again.
"The first capital in the world, this matter will be handed over to you, and 50,000 Wu army prisoners will be pulled to do it!" Wei Li said without hesitation.
"No!" Meng Ge nodded in response.
"Retreat!!" Si Zhong screamed loudly, and all the civil and military officials bent down to make a compilation, sending Wei Li away.
A few days later, Meng Ge pulled all the 60,000 captives back, first demolished the old city wall of the exile city, expanded ten miles forward, and rebuilt the city wall, the city wall is expected to be as high as six zhang, and the four major city gates of east, west, north and south!
After the start of construction, the city was bought, bah, Tianjing City built a large number of buildings, built the city wall, although the 50,000 captives were free, but also lost a lot of material and financial resources every day, the wood was bought, purchased from the hands of the wood merchants, and the boulders were carried by themselves.
Not only expand the royal capital, but also expand the royal palace, the old palace wall of the royal palace has also been demolished, expand to the city for five miles, and rebuild the palace wall of the high three zhang, for the city within the city!
As time went by, Gu Wu and Bai Li Hong also returned to the royal capital, and as soon as they returned to the royal capital, Wei Li took out 80,000 people to Gu Wu and asked Gu Wu to train them in riding, and the remaining 70,000 to Bai Li Hong to teach them to use a twelve-stone strong crossbow and a ten-stone repeater.
While the national strength of Wei was strong, problems also came!
Library Cabinet.
In the library pavilion, Wei Ya sat on the king's chair with a gloomy face and was thinking about something, and Meng Ge was also standing in front of Wei Li quite solemnly.
"Your Majesty, the literati and scholars of all countries are unwilling to use Wei Wen, how should this be?" Meng Ge said with a sad expression.
That's right, Wei Ya destroyed the five kingdoms of Nan, Zheng, Qing, Sheng, and Zhi, and ordered the abolition of the five languages and the unified use of Wei language, but unfortunately, it was opposed by many literati and scholars of the old country, thinking that Wei destroyed its country and wanted its national language.
The light of the existence of the countries for hundreds of years has already formed its own culture and writing, and the sudden abolition of the Wei State naturally caused a great backlash.
"It's easy to fight the world, it's difficult to do the world, if the words can't be unified, maybe after Gu dies, the Wei State will be divided, and then countless countries will emerge, so the efforts made by Gu and Aiqing will be in vain!" Wei Li said with a solemn expression.
He really admired Qin Shi Huang in his previous life, and he didn't know how much opposition he received to unify the script when he abolished the scripts of various countries, and many people could not understand the pressure involved.
"Kill?" Wei Li suddenly thought of the most violent and simple way.
"What? Kill? Meng Ge was suddenly startled, and hurriedly made a compilation to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, you must not kill the scribes, this is a big taboo, when the world talks about Wei, you have to be violent Wei, and then the name of the king's holy monarch will be gone!" ”
"Haha!" Wei Li chuckled, "Don't panic, Lone hasn't thought about killing, killing, there is no way to do it, Lone has money and food, in this way, you arrange it, start with the county town and set up a school!" ”
"Academy?" Meng Ge was puzzled, what does the establishment of a school have to do with the abolition of words!
"That's right, set up a school, all male children over the age of five and under fourteen can enter the hall to read and write, without paying any fees, the costs are all borne by the imperial court alone, and then please be proficient in Wei literature as a teacher, teach those children Wei Wen, such as Han Guo, Han Guo is a literati paradise, its national scribes are proficient in the languages of various countries, including Wei Wen, you can specially invite Han bachelors to come to Wei to teach!" Wei Ya said lightly.
Education can be put on some agendas, as for why not to let female children go to school, naturally it is popular in this era that women are not virtuous or talented, if they are forcibly changed, it will only backfire, you need to take your time, you can't be in a hurry at any time, the steps are too big, and it's easy to talk about it!
"Oh my God!" Meng Ge was stunned, shocked!
"Your Majesty, this is wonderful, starting from children to teach them Wei Wen, in the long run, it will inevitably be dominated by Wei Wen, and when these children grow up and become the mainstay, the languages of various countries will not need to be forcibly abolished by us, and they will also disappear in time, and they can also greatly improve the culture of the people of our Wei country, and provide a steady stream of talents for the imperial court, wonderful, wonderful!" Meng Ge immediately understood what Wei Ya meant, education, starting from children.
The establishment of the academy can not only provide talents, subtly abolish the languages of various countries, but also increase Wei Li's prestige, and be able to read for free, what a great honor and godsend!
"Don't be too happy, it's good to set up a school, you have to control it, start with the county seats, and then spread to the counties, take your time!" Wei Li opened his mouth and admonished.
The school is not a joke, it takes a lot of material resources, first, the bamboo is a simple money, the pen is money, please ask the teacher to ask for money, the establishment of the school needs money, etc., everything costs money, this cost is not ordinarily large.
According to the current market price, a bamboo slip is ten yuan, since the brush was invented by Wei Li, it has been popularized, because there is no technical content, a little craftsmanship can be made, but the brush is not cheap, it needs five yuan, the material is good, more expensive.
These things belong to consumables, especially bamboo slips, you can't continue to write after writing, as for why not wash off and continue to write, of course, this era has not washed away this idea at all, many people will seal it after writing, usually used to show how many books they have read, how many words they have written, unless they are too poor to afford, they will continue to write after washing, until the bamboo slips can not continue to write.
Some people may ask, there is no technical content, why is it so expensive, this is naturally a problem of productivity, and now there are no machines, all are artificially made, the output is very small, naturally expensive.
Wei Li carefully calculated, if a scribe writes every day, he consumes at least one bamboo slip a day, 360 days a year, that is, 3,600 yuan, that is, 36 taels of silver, plus a brush, he has to consume 50 taels of silver a year, which is not something that an ordinary person can afford.
It is precisely because of this that the children of ordinary families have a luxury for reading and writing, and who can go to a private school means that they are famous and rich people within a radius of 100 miles.
"Also, take your time!" Meng Ge also knows that reading wastes money.
"I'll leave this matter to you!" Wei Li said softly.
"No!" Meng Ge wrote a compilation.
