"Is Shiyuan really going to be a leader?"

"Yes, the Son of Heaven is a good opportunity for him to display his ambitions."

"His stinky temper went to be an official, and I don't know how many people I offended unconsciously... Is he still unwilling? ”

"How could Shi Yuan be willing."

In the study, Liu Xuan was talking with a visiting friend Wang Xiaoji, who was a native of the plains, who liked literature when he was young, read a wide range of books, and governed the Five Classics, and Liu Xuan was a like-minded friend.

is also a sympathetic person with unsatisfactory careers, depressed in officialdom.

At this moment, the topic of their conversation is about Liu Zhuo and Liu Shiyuan's conquest for the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is now in Xiyang, and the famous scholar "Er Liu" is an official, Liu Xuanwan refused and Liu Zhuo accepted.

Liu Zhuo was appointed by the Son of Heaven as Taishi and was responsible for compiling a new calendar, Liu Xuan, as his classmate and friend, could understand the other party's eagerness to become a leader, because it was Liu Zhuo's ambition to be able to compile an accurate calendar that had never been done before.

So far, the Zhou State has implemented two calendars, the first calendar is the "Tianhe Calendar" compiled by Zhen Luan during the Tianhe period, and the second calendar is the "Elephant Calendar" compiled by Taishi Ma Xian during the Elephant Year.

"Elephant Calendar" also known as "Bingyin Yuan Calendar", since the implementation of the first year of the elephant, it has been ten years, purely from an academic point of view, Liu Zhuo, who is proficient in the astronomical calendar, has absolute certainty to formulate a calendar that is more accurate than the "Elephant Calendar".

This is also the new calendar that the Son of Heaven wants, so as to distinguish Zhengshuo from the puppet emperor and the Yecheng court, so in the face of the Son of Heaven's personal conquest, Liu Zhuo did not hesitate to go out and seize this rare opportunity, because if he missed it, he would really regret it.

For this reason, Liu Zhuo would rather leave Xiyang and do his best for his ambitions, and Liu Xuan decided to stay and preside over the state school, one of the considerations was to let his friends worry about the future.

Huangzhou Prefecture can have today, Liu Zhuo is indispensable, is the founder of academics, Liu Xuan was invited by Liu Zhuo to settle in Xiyang, to change the embarrassing living situation.

And Wang Xiaoji also came to Xiyang at the invitation of Liu Xuan, and many well-known scholars came to Xiyang at the invitation of Liu Zhuo.

Now that Liu Zhuo, as the founder, is leaving Huangzhou, it doesn't mean that he will leave it, but after all, people are not in Xiyang, and it is inconvenient to act, so someone needs to take the vacant position.

Liu Xuan and Liu Zhuo are also known as "Er Liu", and they debate with others in the academic fields they are good at, except for a few exceptions, no one in the world is an opponent, and Liu Xuan takes over Liu Zhuo's position, and no one has any objections.

Liu Xuan understood Liu Zhuo's choice and knew that Liu Zhuo was bent on making the new calendar he compiled by the imperial court favored and implemented, and he was also full of confidence in this new calendar, feeling that once it was implemented, it would be the most accurate calendar since ancient times.

The so-called calendar is a method of calculating the year, month, and day, and making it correspond to the relevant celestial phenomena, which requires the coordination of the calendar year, calendar month, calendar day, return year, and synodic month, and requires the compiler to have rich knowledge of astronomy and calendar, and the arithmetic ability must not be weak.

How do you weigh the accuracy of a calendar? See how well it matches the actual celestial phenomena when it operates.

During the Jin Dynasty, the Yongjia Rebellion, the clothes crossed to the south, the confrontation between the north and the south of the world for hundreds of years, the Southern Dynasty Liu Song Dynasty, the 20th year of Yuanjia, He Chengtian formulated the "Yuan Jia Calendar", which was fifty minutes earlier than the actual celestial phenomenon.

In the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty of the Liu Song Dynasty, Zu Chongzhi created the "Daming Calendar", also known as the "Jiazi Yuan Calendar", 29 minutes behind the actual celestial phenomena, and the "Daming Calendar" was then used by the Southern Dynasties, and now the calendar used by Chen Guo is the "Daming Calendar".

In the Northern Dynasty, in the second year of Zhengguang of the Yuan Wei Dynasty, Li Yexing formulated the "Zhengguang Calendar", which was thirteen minutes earlier than the actual celestial phenomena.

Nearly 20 years later, in the second year of Xinghe of the Yuan Wei Dynasty, Li Yexing made the "Xinghe Calendar" again, which was 99 minutes earlier than the actual celestial phenomenon.

During the Gaoqi Tianbao period, Song Jingye formulated the "Tianbao Calendar", which lagged behind the actual celestial phenomena by one day and eighty-seven moments.

At the same time, the "Heavenly and Calendar Calendar" compiled by Zhen Luan of Zhou Guo was forty minutes earlier than the actual celestial phenomenon; Ma Xian's "Elephant Calendar" is ten minutes behind the actual celestial phenomena, and the calendar implemented by the Zhou State today is the "Elephant Calendar".

Liu Zhuo's calendar is not a whim that can be completed, it is based on his more than 20 years of astronomical observations, Liu Xuan has repeatedly calculated, and has come to a conclusion:

This calendar is about seven to eight minutes behind the actual celestial phenomena, which is more accurate than the Elephant Calendar.

This is a remarkable precision, so if this calendar can be adopted and implemented by the imperial court, Liu Zhuo's ambition can be realized.

For scholars, it is a great honor for their hard work to be recognized and announced to the world, and Liu Xuan can understand Liu Zhuo's behavior of leaving Huangzhou to do Taishi in order to realize his ambitions.

A classmate is about to fulfill one of his life's ambitions, but what about his own ambitions?

Liu Xuan of Hejian, learned the north and south scriptures, proficient in modern and ancient classics, his ambition is to learn and excel, repair history books, set five rites, and will be handed down to the present day, ancient classics to remove the false and retain the true.

He wrote a book and made it an official study, so that students from all over the world could read his books.

This is Liu Xuan's ambition, but he was crushed by the ruthless reality, he has no knowledge, and he can't compete with the scholars from the family and the powerful, even if the other party's knowledge is not as high as his, he can still be ranked among the top and look down on him.

The other party ignored his suggestion, and he argued on the basis of reason, in exchange for sneering, Liu Xuan of Hejian is just a veritable rotten Confucianism in the eyes of the superiors, and it is not of much use except for decorating the façade.

And now, King Xiyang has given him a new ambition, and this ambition is not his Liu Xuan alone.

Next to the ever-bright lamp, Wang Xiaoji took out a thick manuscript with a long essay densely written, and at the same time, Liu Xuan also took out a thick manuscript, which was also full of handwriting.

On the bookcase in front of Liu Xuan, there is a thick book, the content of the book is clear, it is a printed book, and the same book, Wang Xiaoji also has one, and the six words "syllabus (draft)" on the cover are particularly conspicuous.

The two exchanged their manuscripts, and then looked at the "Syllabus (Draft)" in their hands, and discussed it as they looked at it.

How can an ignorant child become a well-educated person? This is a problem that teachers must face, and the "Syllabus" is a outline to guide the teaching of teachers.

King Xiyang said, but this "syllabus" needs a great Confucian like Liu Xuan to organize scholars to study and discuss, and finally finalize the items.

The "Syllabus" is a syllabus to guide the teaching of each discipline, which mainly includes the teaching purpose, requirements, content and the "learning hours" required for gradual progress, just like a "teaching plan", which stipulates the teaching content of a discipline in the form of an outline.

Once the syllabus is finalized and implemented in government schools, the content of all the textbooks used in government schools in the world will be uniform.

Taking the annotation of the "Zuo Chuan" as an example, the annotated version of the "Zuo Chuan" stipulated in the syllabus is regarded as the original in the official school, and the other versions are forgeries, and the views in the book will never be adopted!

As a teacher, in accordance with the requirements of the "Syllabus", enlighten, teach, and teach a young child, after 14 years, the child who has grown up will have the ability to enter Taixue and study.

The king of Xiyang wanted to innovate the official education system, and the "syllabus" he envisioned initially set a fourteen-year study time, including six years of Mongolian learning to solve the "literacy rate", four years of "county/county school", so that students can get started, and four years of state school, so that students have the ability to be admitted to Taixue.

In other words, students who "graduate" from state schools can get the opportunity to enter the office by taking the exam, and the content of the exam is the "knowledge points" in the "syllabus".

This is an unprecedented government education system, an unprecedented talent selection system, Liu Xuan listened to the idea of King Xiyang, so excited that he couldn't sleep at night, he knew that once this idea became a reality, it would mean the end of an era.

Even if the children of the family do not learn and have no skills, they can easily become officials in their teens by virtue of valve reading, while even if the scholars of the poor family are rich and rich, they may have to wait for most of their lives for an opportunity to be recruited and recommended.

If King Xiyang's vision becomes a reality, then the scholars who personally formulated this "syllabus" and participated in the creation of a new education system and talent selection system will go down in history!

This is the ambition of Liu Xuan in Hejian today, the ambition of the filial piety of the king of the plains, and the unanimous ambition of many well-educated people who gather in Xiyang!
