Chapter 338: Imperial Academy
But that's just the pie drawn!
Because the Ministry of Rites only mentioned the matter of the imperial examination, and did not point out the exact date and month of the examination. And these people who enter the school are all young children. When they grow up, they will be at least a few years old.
In addition, the content of the imperial examination is also not clear.
Even if there is gossip from the Department of Science and Education of the Ministry of Rites. In the future, when the program is opened, the subject taught in the school will be used as the standard for admission. However, at present, there is a great deal of flexibility in the subject setting of each school.
For example, except for arithmetic and Puritanical scriptures, two special subjects of the Department of Science and Education, other subjects can be freely arranged.
For example, riding archery, poetry and other subjects, some schools have them, and some do not.
But it is always right to follow in the footsteps of the Governor's Palace of Khorasan. Like David Gurion of the Treasury! Originally, he was a powerless businessman! However, because he stepped on the big ship of the Khorasan Governor's Palace early, the Gurion family became a luxurious family with a lot of wealth in the territory of Daliao.
Its business stretched from Mongolia in the north, Bactria in the east, Gur in the south, and Damascus in the west. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as being all over the world.
However, compared with Lee's firm, there is still a thousand miles behind.
But the Gurion family was not a prestigious family in the first place. So having such an achievement is impressive enough.
Therefore, those businessmen who go south and north will never let go of such a good opportunity.
After all, you only need to invest some money, which is not much. For many businessmen who are not bad for money, it is like scratching the itch in their boots, and it will not hurt their muscles and bones at all.
At this moment, listening to Nasirdin's father's response, Li Chengji became even more interested. He turned to Nazir al-Din and said, "Can Abu Nowass sing poetry?" ”。
This is a famous poet at the height of the Abbasid Empire. Born in Persia, Ahvaz grew up in Basra. He studied with the poets Walib ibn Hubab and Khairif al-Ahmail.
He has studied the Qur'an and the Sunnah, and is well versed in Arabic grammar, rhetoric, and poetry. But his personality is bohemian and uninhibited, and he does not like religious constraints. He likes to drink, and has become drinking friends with Caliph Harun and Amin.
In the poetry world, he is known as the 'nature poet'.
The status in the Abbasid Empire is equal to that of Li Bai, a poet immortal of the Tang Dynasty.
Xu is Li Chengji deliberately behaved very peacefully, so Nasirding was bolder. He nodded and chanted, "Ho! Bring the glass, fill it and tell me it's wine.
Because. If you can drink it in broad daylight,
I never want to drink alone in the shadows!
When I'm sober, every moment is annoyance and boredom for me,
As soon as I drank it, I was in high spirits and staggered,
Before and after.
Say, boldly say the name of your beloved,
Put aside the cover of vanity:
Why bother shrouding happiness in a veil. ”。
"Hmmm! It's a bit poetic. But do you know the meaning of this poem? ”。
Nasirdin shook his head very sincerely, so that Nasirdin's father, who had always been worried, couldn't help frowning.
"Children are obsessed with arithmetic." , Nasirdin's father was afraid that Li Chengji would be disappointed in him, so he hurriedly explained with a smile.
"You can do arithmetic?" , Li Chengji felt that the child in front of him had surprised him again. He directly asked: "A large pasture, three sheep in the east, two wolves in the west, the wolves want to eat the sheep, how many sheep are left in the pasture?" ”。
This arithmetic problem is not only about arithmetic, but also about common sense. If you don't pay attention, it's easy to make mistakes.
Nasir-al-Din scratched his little head and began to crunch his fingers.
Li Chengji was not in a hurry, so he waited for a long time.
Just at this time, the Guards pulled out. Nazir al-Din was a little anxious, and his face was flushed. In the end, he is a three-year-old child, and in terms of intelligence, he can't reach the level of demonism.
"When you're ready, come to my tent and tell me!" , after that, Li Chengji informed the left and right, and wanted to lead the two down.
"Not a single one!" , Nasir-al-Din was in a hurry.
"Why?" ,
"The wolf eats the sheep, and the sheep that live have run away!" ,
"Hahaha... Not bad! What is your name? Seeing that he was so smart, Li Chengji couldn't help but love talent.
"Nasirddin Tusi." , although the voice is immature, but not cowardly.
"You're Nasir-al-Din Tusi?" , Li Chengji endured the horror in his heart. Because Nasir-al-Din Tusi was a famous astronomer and mathematician in the territory of Khorasan. It's just that he is not very old at the moment, so after getting the relevant information, Li Chengji did not let the affairs department pay much attention.
Wherever you think, this person will shine wherever he goes. Even if he is still young, he can't hide his edge at all.
Under great joy, he said to Li Dali beside him: "How is the preparation of the Imperial Academy?" ”。
This is a school for the children of bureaucrats in the Governor's Palace of Khorasan. There are 12 years of primary school, four years of secondary school, and three years of university. Every student who enrolls in the school must complete these 12 years. Otherwise, he would never be eligible to enter the Governor's Mansion as an official.
Of course, this starts with children. If you have a certain age and knowledge, you can go directly to secondary school or university.
After completing the assessment, you can also be an official.
In the end, there are not many people who read in this era, so those who have some ink in their stomachs are undoubtedly from powerful families. Coupled with their family's local connections, these people are undoubtedly the best candidates for the second generation of management.
As for the common people. Although Li Chengji really wanted to take a soldier, the social environment of Central Asia was frequent, and the military was strong and the culture was weak. As a result, most of the people do not have the intention of offering their children to repair the text.
Therefore, it is difficult to reverse this inherent disadvantage in a short period of time.
At the moment when the education system is not perfect, the only way to make up for it is to use this method first.
"The school building is ready, and Mr. Jiaoxi is waiting in the school. The sons of the commanders of all departments, departments, regiments, and battalions have all been prepared. Wait for the Governor's order, and the school will start. This matter was decided before the pro-Zhengyeli. Therefore, the chief officer of the Ministry of Rites has been preparing for a long time.
And because Li Chengji confessed in person, Li Qi let the people below stare more. Therefore, he was very clear about the preparation for the establishment of the Imperial Academy.
Hearing this, Li Chengji sighed and ordered: "Add a place and bring this child in." ”。 Considering the difference in identity, he ordered again: "Tell the principal of the school that the students who enter the school are not allowed to reveal their family status and family background." All of them can only be referred to by the pseudonyms given by the school. ”。
As a result, in later generations, the school rules of the Imperial Academy became the focus of many historians' research. Li Chengji's great achievements have also been added by later generations.
