Chapter 126: Rejuvenating the country through education

After layers of selection, twenty more people were admitted to the palace, and this draft came to an end.

In the evening of the same day, Liu Xun gave a banquet to the ministers and the military and civilians in Shanglin Yuan. . .

Thousands of tables were set up for the banquet.

Almost every one of them was given a sumptuous dinner full of wine and meat.

As for the accompanying ministers, the Marquis of Xun and the hundred celebrities drank together at the banquet.

Liu Xun sat on the main seat, sitting upright, looking around at the surrounding ministers and celebrities of the hundreds of schools.

To be honest, he didn't know most of them.

Especially the giants of the hundred schools, he has never seen any of them.

Liu Xun was a little drunk, he put down the wine bottle and said, "I, today I see a hundred families prosperous, I am overjoyed, you are victorious!" ”

Basically, if you want to be recognized nowadays, you are a giant of a certain school or a certain classic, you first have to be consulted by Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty and recruited as a doctor, and only after being a doctor can you be recognized and recognized.

You haven't even done it with a doctor, so it just means that you're still a little tender......

It's just that these hundreds of giants usually resign after squatting in the doctoral position for a few months and then using various reasons and excuses.

The doctoral officer set up by the Han family is also a gilded position for the giants of the hundred schools.

Therefore, these hundred giants are basically former doctors.

So, Liu Xun raised the wine bottle, and under the leadership of the two eunuchs, he came to the corner where the hundreds of celebrities were sitting.

Seeing Liu Xun coming over, more than a dozen giants of the Hundred Schools, who were originally divided into several small factions to discuss and talk together, got up one after another.

"Your Majesty. Please allow the slave maid to introduce you one by one......" Huang Xie, who led Liu Xun over, said to Liu Xun softly and slowly.

Huang Xie led Liu Xun to the masters.

"This is the late Doctor Zhang Yue!" Huang Xie introduced an old man to Liu Xun without a little emotion.

Zhang Hui's grandson, Zhang Yue is an old man in his seventies, his body is already thin like a skeleton, but his mental state is very good, he hurriedly bent down and saluted, "The old minister respectfully invites Your Majesty to be saintly!" ”

"This one is the late Guotai Fu Li Tao!" The eunuch continued without stopping.

Compared with Zhang Hui, Li Tao's body is much stronger.

At the very least, Li Tao's face is full. His face was full of red light, and he didn't need help, so he stood up and bent down and bowed his head, saying, "Old minister, please see Your Majesty!" ”

"Elder Li, please get up!" Liu Xun said with a smile.

He still respects Li Gong very much, because he is a doctor appointed by Emperor Xiaowu and a teacher of the first emperor.

The eunuch introduced several giants of the old school of Confucianism and Huang to Liu Xun in a row.

Then, came a man in his forties and almost fifty years old, who looked exceptionally young among the giants.

Liu Xun looked up at him, waved his hand, stopped the eunuch's introduction, stepped forward, bowed his head and said, "Dare to ask, but after Mr. Zidu, Mr. Hu Lan is in person, and the student Liu Xun respectfully worships him!" ”

If you talk about today, that literati, Liu Xun respects the most.

There is no doubt that apart from Hu Lan, there is no second person to find, and Liu Xun is also from this school.

Hu Wusheng Zidu, the teacher of Sun Hong, the prime minister of a generation of cloth, Liu Xun called Mr. Zidu, there is nothing wrong with it.

The man was slightly stunned, and had no choice but to bow to Liu Xun and smile bitterly: "The minister doesn't dare to be Your Majesty so heavy!" ”

"Afford it!" Liu Xun bowed again and said, "Mr. continues to build the foothills of the museum, teach the profession and pass on the scriptures, there is no class, and the kid has always been respected!" ”

During the time of Emperor Xiaowu, only Hu Lan was a giant, who openly taught in Lutai, and those who came did not refuse, and even some poor children could be helped by Hu Lan.

When he was in the people, Liu Xun once heard that Hu Wuzidu's Lutai Academy, in the past 20 years, has educated countless officials of thousands of stones, several 2,000 members, one prime minister, and countless other rural officials.

Without Hu Lan's twenty or thirty years of hard work and the thousands of intellectuals and officials cultivated by sowing seeds, Dong Zhongshu and Emperor Xiaowu Liu Che wanted to play Confucianism? Don't even think about it!

For such a person, I can't overemphasize the respect!

Liu Xun said, "I, Mr. Wen continues to complete Mr. Zidu's will, writing in Lutai, teaching children, extremely hard, please set up Lutai as the national garden, all expenses and expenses should be reimbursed by the Shaofu, so that Mr. can recruit teachers, open the mountain gate, and include people with lofty aspirations in the world, whether rich or poor, educated and classless!" ”

When Hu Lan heard this, her pupils dilated suddenly.

It's something I think about and dream about day and night.

At that time, Confucius had 3,000 disciples, and Confucius was able to educate so many disciples, in addition to the tuition fees contributed by the students, if it were not for his ancestors Zixia, Zigong, Yan Hui and other disciples to help on the side, it would be impossible to do it.

He also thought about leaving a few disciples who had completed their studies to help him teach his students.

But there's no money!

He didn't have a rich disciple like Zigong, so he couldn't learn the methods of Confucius......

He sometimes couldn't even afford the pen and ink that his disciples needed to practice calligraphy and read!

Not to mention paying salaries to those successful disciples.

For this reason, he doesn't know how many times he has worried!

Now that Liu Xun met him, he threw out such a big piece of good news, how could he not be excited or unhappy.

So, Hu Lan didn't care about maintaining his image, and immediately knelt down and thanked him, "The old minister thanks Your Majesty for the kindness of the world's scholars and poor children!" ”

"No thanks, sir, as it should be!" Liu Xun said with a smile.

Supporting Hu Lan can be described as killing three birds with one stone for Liu Xun.

First of all, Hu Lan can do education with peace of mind, in this era, every time there is one more scholar, the national strength of the Han family will be enhanced, and this is what Liu Xun likes to see.

There are more readers, especially the poor children, so that the scale of Liu Xun's examination can continue to expand, otherwise there will be tens of thousands of scholars in the world, and they will still play a fart examination, and it will be changed to the imperial examination!

Secondly, Hu Lan's Lutai Academy has received state support and financial support, which will also be supplemented to Guanlu University.

Moreover, it stimulates hundreds of schools.

Huang Laoxue and Legalism, everything is good, but they only educate the children of nobles and big landowners, which is very bad!

Competition has to be introduced to get these guys to do their jobs in education.

The people left and right saw Liu Xun and Hu Lan worshipping each other three times.

Many people suddenly feel very uncomfortable in their hearts.

Especially now, who doesn't know that white paper is an industry that is in Liu Xun's hands and is strictly kept secret?

Liu Xun now openly supports Hu Lan in running a school, so it is conceivable that Hu Lan can get a lot of cheap or even free blank paper?

If that's the case, what are the other hundred schools of thought playing?

With Liu Xun's support, Hu Lan will inevitably spread and propagate his knowledge and theories at a tenfold or even hundredfold speed.

If that's the case, that's fine.

In case, if Liu Xun is in the future examination, he will be biased towards Hu Lan's school, for example, if he admits 100 people at a time, 70 of them will be born in Lutai......

These giants are really panicked at the moment.

They can not care about fame and fortune, or they can not care about personal ups and downs, but they can't care less about the fate and future of their respective schools.

"Your Majesty, if the old minister also opens the mountain gate, accepts disciples and disciples, regardless of status

Noble and lowly, can you also ask Your Majesty to play Your Majesty, and treat it the same as Lao Chen's "Poems"? Shen Gong was the first to react, put down his face, and pleaded.

This is not difficult for Li Tao.

At that time, he was just a humble scholar, fortunate to be taught by his teacher Shen Gong, to learn culture, and later participated in the joint efforts of Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan, and Liu Ying, the king of Chuyi, to sort out the "Book of Songs" and publish it all over the world, becoming the only remaining founder of the Lu poetry school.

Since his resignation, he has been recruiting disciples all these years, but he is not as fanfare as Hu Lan has, and he does not refuse to come.

What's more, his ancestor Fu Qiubo is Xunzi's personal disciple, and the people of Xunzi's faction have a clear understanding of reality.

Don't forget, Li Si was taught by Xunzi!

"Naturally!" Liu Xun responded with a smile, he stood up and said to the giants of the hundred schools of thought, "All the great sages and elders, as long as you are willing to open the mountain gate and accept disciples, I am willing to follow Mr. Hu Lan's example...... It's just that some conditions ......"

"Your Majesty, please say ......" Zhang Yue stood up and bowed, as a Legalist giant, of course Zhang Yue knew that the royal family would never have personal problems such as whims or pure respect.

Especially for more than 100 years since the founding of the Liu family, even Emperor Xiaohui's every move is meaningful!

And Liu Xun, since he succeeded to the throne, his authority has become increasingly prosperous.

How can such a person be influenced by feelings and personal preferences, and act on his own?

There must be a deep meaning!

Either to promote his political ideas, or to build momentum for his position!

But......

Such a prince and emperor are the favorite of the Legalists!

The emperor, who is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and follows the rules, obviously knows it with his ass, and will definitely not reuse the Legalist.

Only rulers who are ambitious and ambitious will attach importance to Legalism and treat it well.

Liu Xun thought for a while, and said to everyone, "Elders, open the mountain gate, recruit disciples, teach without class, educate all the people, the son and the father must be happy!" ”

"However......" Liu Xun looked down at the ground and said, "One of the conditions for the kid is that all the students who are admitted to the school must register their names and places of origin through the county order, and there are no crimes or bad deeds in the investigation!" Anyone who is not registered with the government will not be allowed to enter the school, and if it is found, it will be punished by the law! ”

It's a given!

Otherwise, if the son of a powerful family breaks the law and changes his name and hides in the academy, who will be able to find it?

Since ancient times, the place of teaching and educating people has been a sacred and inviolable territory in China, not to mention the government, even the emperor, and he easily did not dare to go in and arrest people!

Without this plan, these schools will sooner or later become places to hide the children of the powerful and powerful nobles who break the law.

Everyone listened, but they looked at each other, this condition was completely acceptable, so they nodded one after another.

Liu Xun continued, "Second, all Shanmen students must pass the examination jointly presided over by the government and the elders before they can be allowed to graduate, and the document seal jointly issued by the academy and the local county guard yamen will be issued! The rest are not allowed to issue any certificates! Anyone who does not pass the official examination, that is, suspends his or her studies, must be removed from the list and can no longer be regarded as a disciple! When you are studying, so are the offenders! ”

This is the secret door left by Liu Xun.

If these people's schools are laid-off, the government does not have the corresponding checks and balances and deterrence.

After a long time, you can guess what will happen with your ass?

Look at the Tai students of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then think about the talented men of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the college students in Beiyang who go to the streets for a walk when they have nothing to do.

Liu Xunke didn't want it at all, twenty or thirty years later, he wanted to implement a certain policy, and as a result, a group of uncles holding a plaque of 'One hundred and fifty years of Han family supporters, and the Day of Righteous Death is today'.

Students just need to study hard!

As long as they haven't reached the Jedi of extinction, they don't need to run out and chirp.

And most student movements have proven that the enthusiasm of students is often exploited by a gang of cold-blooded, selfish and shameless schoolboys and politicians.

So Liu Xun had to put a tight spell on the students.

There's nothing like a diploma to keep students at ease.

But as soon as Liu Xun's condition was proposed, many people began to hesitate.

It was only considering that the government did have this right, and what Liu Xun said was reasonable, and they still retained some of their rights, reluctantly, thinking that the state recognized and supported the benefits of financial subsidies, so they reluctantly agreed

"Thirdly, all the enrolled scholars, I will issue an order to subsidize 1,000 yuan per person per year, distribute 10 stones of rice, and 1 liter of oil and salt, and all the elders, you must ensure that all the subsidized materials are collected by the students themselves with the student registration documents issued by the government to the official yamen, and can not be collected on behalf of the students under any excuse!" Liu Xun said solemnly.

Obviously, Liu Xun left another secret door here.

This is to prevent corruption and to act as a check and balance.

Each student receives a subsidy of 1,000 yuan, 10 stone rice, and 1 liter of oil and salt every year.

This is essential to give the reader a welfare.

Otherwise, there would probably be no students from the bottom in these academies.

This is obviously unacceptable to Liu Xun!

And as soon as this policy comes out, it will obviously be able to buy people's hearts, especially the hearts of readers.

You must know that before that, there had never been a government subsidy for scholars in that dynasty

However, Liu Xun's words were not so comfortable for the giants present.

No matter which school of thought, you always think you are a gentleman.

How can a gentleman be suspected?

How can a gentleman be supervised?

For Liu Xun's obvious vigilance and distrust, many people feel very uncomfortable!

Only a few people such as Li Tao and Zhang Yue faced it calmly.

Zhang Yuehao explained that Legalists like order, and they can accept sacrificing some personal interests for the sake of order.

Li Tao is his education is Xunzi's thoughts, Xunzi advocates the inherent evil of human nature, so he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.

But not so with others.

"Your Majesty......" a giant came out and said, "Xia School Yin is itching, three generations together, a place to teach and educate people...... "He bowed his head and said, "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

The others said, "Your Majesty, please think twice!" ”

Liu Xun smiled when he heard this.

That's a good excuse!

Of course, Liu Xun believes that it is completely impossible for these giants to be greedy for the money that Mo gave to students.

At this point, Liu Xun can vouch for it with his head!

Look at these people, each of them is a giant of their respective school.

In terms of moral cultivation, it is recognized all over the world!

However, they are incorruptible, they are not greedy, it does not mean that the latecomers will not, and it does not mean that their families will not be in the future!

The most important thing is that the subsidy is given by the government and the teacher is not the same thing!

Therefore, on this issue, there is no room for discussion.

If you don't accept Liu Xun's conditions, why can you go alone......

Academic freedom, Liu Xun can't manage it, and he doesn't bother to care about it, but if you want to get financial subsidies and official support and recognition from the state, you have to obey the rules he set!

Of course, you can't say it so bluntly, you have to be tactful, and give these giants a step down.

Liu Xun looked at everyone with a smile, raised his hand and said, "What the elders said, the kid Anneng didn't think about it, the school, the important place of education,

A place of humanity too! ”

Liu Xun said enthusiastically, "I will issue an order to the Prime Minister's Mansion, please legislate, among the academy, the civil officials get off, the military generals get off the horse, each academy, and then give a number of learning fields, to support the teacher, to care for the lonely, which is a thorough example!" ”

This is a common means used by government schools in later generations, and there must be a number of study fields in a certain place to subsidize teachers and poor students in government schools.

However, Liu Xun made improvements on the basis of the later generations of Xuetian.

These fields were given to a certain school, but the management and use rights did not belong to a specific person in the school, but were used as a food town for the marquis, and the income from these fields was allocated to the school every year during the harvest season.

So, these fields can be 108,000 miles away from these schools.

This can prevent the school field from becoming private ownership when it is open, and it can also take it back when the school is disobedient, and the court wants to take it back.

It's a lot less hassle, and it's a lot more convenient.

In addition, the regulations on civil officials getting off the bus and military generals getting off the horse in the school gave the Zhuzi school enough face.

As soon as the giants heard it, they immediately knew that Liu Xun was determined to ask the students to receive the subsidy by themselves, otherwise, he would not have sent it!

Literati usually consciously detour when they encounter a hard nail.

And, if you think about it, it seems that what Your Majesty said is also very reasonable......

The issuance of subsidies by the imperial court is obviously telling the students who is supporting them, is it a clear description of the way of the monarch and the minister......

As courtiers, how could they compete with Liu Xun for popularity?

When you think about it, many people feel much more comfortable.

As a result, everyone avoided talking about the fact that students had to receive subsidies on their own, and selectively ignored this article.

Immediately began to have a heated discussion.,How many schools support a school.,Is there a hard standard.。

Otherwise, if everyone is the same, then those who have more disciples will not suffer a loss?

You know, this is a school field!

Once it is decided, as long as the imperial court does not recycle, it will be able to transfuse blood for the academy for generations, and as long as it is used properly, it will be able to ensure the prosperity of its own school for thousands of years!

Zhang Yue was deeply touched by this.

Back then, when Emperor Xiaowu was the emperor, the miscellaneous family and the famous family were merged into the Legalist, isn't it that the inheritance of these two schools is almost severed, and in order to continue, can only choose to integrate with the Legalist?

At that time, if there was such a system that could ensure their inheritance, would they still be willing to merge with the Legalists?

"Based on the boy's current humble opinion, I think that the Zhuzi Academy, one acre of school land per person, should be appropriate......," Liu Xun explained, "Every three years, the imperial court and the local government conduct a review to determine the number of school fields!" ”

An acre per person? That is to say, which faction has more students and disciples, and which faction has the upper hand?

As a result, the various factions of Confucianism were immediately overjoyed.

Especially Hu Lan and Dong An, they are even more overjoyed.

Nowadays, in the Confucian faction, the two biggest mountains are the two of them!

But others are not complaining.

Especially Zhang Fang, the giant of the Left Mission, who has been trampled under the feet of the Ram faction, let out a long breath, with this policy and benefits, Gu Liang Chunqiu should be able to take a breath and continue!

Liu Xun laughed in his heart.

One acre of school land per student seems like a lot.

But actually, it's drizzling!

It's not really giving the field to the Academy, but it's just a fake to the Academy.

Liu Xun calculated an account in his heart.

At this time, the field tax is 30 taxes and 1, that is to say, one mu of land produces four stones of corn, and the field tax of one mu of land is less than 15 catties of corn......

Then, the tax on weeds, 100 mu is 55 yuan, and the average is less than 1 yuan per mu!

Even if there are one million scholars in the world, the expenditure of the Han government, in the study of the field, is at most a few million dollars a year, drizzle! Even if you add the subsidies for students, one million people a year is only 10,000 yuan plus 10 million stone meters, which is trivial!

It's not enough, Emperor Xiaowu Liu Che Mobei is a fraction of the cost of the decisive battle.

You must know that last year, the tax revenue of the central government of the Han Dynasty was nearly 400,000 yuan.

Cultivating one million scholars only accounts for one-fortieth of the central government's fiscal and tax revenue for a year.

And for example, today's population is up to 50 million.

No matter how you count it, Liu Xun thinks that it is impossible to have a million readers all at once!

A literate intellectual among fifty people?

It can't be done during the Republic of China!

The British Empire in its industrial heyday couldn't do it!

If there really is a million students enrolled in school every year, then Liu Xun can consider industrializing, colonizing the world, and exploiting the world.

A million intellectuals are born in a year?

Ten years is 10 million!

Can't get a steam engine, can't get a sail battleship?

In terms of the actual situation, according to Liu Xun's understanding, it may not even be 100,000 freshmen, and 20,000 or 30,000 freshmen a year can burn incense and worship the Buddha and thank the gods.

Liu Xun remembers a set of data very clearly.

Hu Lan taught in Lutai for nearly 20 years, and a total of seven or eight thousand people listened to his teachings......

Li Tao opened the door to teach in Ludi, although it only accepts elites, but for nearly ten years, there are only more than 100 formal disciples, and 3 or 400 registered disciples......

In today's world, yeoman farmers and other things are obviously unlikely to have the opportunity to study, and they are too busy to take care of their land......

You must know that the average family now is a standard one-man family of five and a hundred fields......

Only those families above the level of small and medium-sized landlords, who have some savings in their families, at least ploughing cattle and iron tools to help them cultivate, have the money and leisure to support their offspring to read and write.

And with this condition, at present, in the world, there are three or four households out of every 100 households, which is a very good result, if Daiguo and Youbeiping, Shangjun are so poor that even the emperor is embarrassed to collect manuscript taxes, it may be a miracle that one in a hundred households can be one!

"So, there is a long way to go......" Liu Xun sighed in his heart.

Instigating the hundreds of giants to open the mountain door to teach is only the first step, the first step to lay the foundation.

After they have educated enough scholars and expanded the foundation of the examination, Liu Xun can consider establishing one or more national universities to train elites from all walks of life.

In this way, in about 50 years, it should be possible to eliminate the literacy of one million people every year.

Then, the journey of the Han family is the sea of stars......

It's not that Liu Xun hasn't thought about what kind of university he will do now.

But no one!

It's easy to build a university, but it's hard to find teachers!

At present, the teachers of Guanlu University are still very scarce, and there are only Huang Lao and the Fa family's emergency support personnel.

Like the 100 giants who are now famous, they are certainly not willing to condescend to work in a government educational institution, and even if they do, they may not be able to accept staying in the same school with other schools.

At least, if the current Mohists and Confucianism are put in the same room, they must first separate life and death, and then talk about other things.
