Chapter 49: The Principal

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, there were only 50 Taixue students, but in the later period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number surged to 30,000, and a special Taixue District was formed in Luoyang City, but even so, overall, the enrollment of official schools was still very narrow.

Most of the students were children of the nobility, and only a few were from poor backgroundsβ€”although the wealth was not abundant, but their family background was not necessarily low; As for the four surnamed Xiaohou Xue, not to mention, only the children of Fan, Guo, Yin, and Ma have always been recruited - there is no way, because it was founded by these four families.

To put it bluntly, the central government school mainly recruits the children of nobles and eunuchs, and even the local government school is not open to ordinary people. Therefore, by the end of the Han Dynasty, private schools were booming again, with a wide range of enrollments, so as to fill the vacancy of official schools. For example, Zheng Xuan taught in Gaomi, and the peddlers and pawns were all allowed to listen to the lectures; Lu Zhi is in Zhuo County, and Liu Bei, who makes a living by weaving mats and selling stalks, can worship his subordinates, which can be seen.

However, the turbulent times at the end of the Han Dynasty not only hindered the development of private learning, but also greatly affected official learning. In the early days of the Western Jin Dynasty, the scale of Taixue was reduced by dozens of times compared with that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Guozixue was still added to it; In the third year of Emperor Hui's Yuankang, it was clearly stipulated that only the children of the fifth-grade officials and above were allowed to enter the Guozi School, and the children of the fifth-grade officials and below were allowed to enter the Taixue, so the school became a forbidden place for the children of the official eunuchs, and the family gate lords enjoyed privileges in education. As for the local government schools, there were very few of them, and they never flourished.

The reason is very simple: theoretically, government students are all public-funded, and only a small number of self-financed students are enrolled, so when the social system is disordered and the state finances are on the verge of collapse, who will have the money to engage in education. As for the family gatekeepers, they can do ethnology within their own homes, and naturally they are not willing to pay money to fund the public.

Pei Gai is bent on breaking the monopoly of the clan on education, and only in this way can he absorb more talents from poor families into the system and expand and stabilize the foundation of his rule. If you want to support the Hanmen, it is not enough to rely on the examination system, because under the premise of lacking sufficient educational resources, the cultural level of the Hanmen Shu people is generally lower than that of the children of the family.

Pei Gai's concept of employing people basically imitates Cao Cao, advocating that regardless of status, "meritocracy", it is impossible to unconditionally tend to the poor, and even prefer the grass of the poor family to the seedlings of the family......

Therefore, when the political situation in Guanzhong was generally stable, he patiently discussed with the masses, especially with the Dubu Peng Liuzi Gao in the ring, and took loans from Yu Ling and other businessmen, and finally squeezed out a sum of education funds. Although it was previously required that all counties in Yongzhou should set up county schools, and now this policy has also been extended to Qinzhou, but after all, the local financial difficulties, even if they are ordered to build schools, it is just a false story. Pei Cai didn't plan to spread the education funds everywhere - he certainly didn't know what it was used for - he planned to build a large-scale school in Chang'an City to recruit the children of Yong, Qin, Liang, and Liang.

Yes, including Liangzhou, although there is currently only one Hanzhong County for Zhou's visit, but theoretically speaking, it is also west of Tongguan, which is the place where he is in charge.

The hardware equipment of the school is easy to solve, and there are many empty houses in Chang'an City. Moreover, Pei Gai also "invented" engraving printing - the principle of that thing is very simple, before he only said a few words, roughly described, Xu Yu quickly led the craftsmen to get it, compared with it, it is more difficult to improve papermaking - first use the "Surname Chronicle" and "Hundred Family Names" to open the way, and then print a large number of Five Classics.

But the school software is more troublesome, and the most important thing is that you have to have a teacher first.

In fact, teachers are not too difficult to find, for the time being, Pei Gai does not plan to engage in national education, he does not have that spiritual head, the teaching materials are still Confucian set, so many Guanxi scholars, including the old bureaucrats, Pei should talk to them, feel that they have no talent, only those who can study to death, can be stuffed into the school. However, there are a large number of teachers, and an old gentleman who has the ability, reputation, and ability to control the scene must be found to be the principal, and this matter can be regarded as a light on all sides.

Naturally, Pei Gai thought of Dong Jingdao. Although Dong Jingdao was a great Confucian in the world, he really put it in the history of Confucianism, and he couldn't even turn over a single wave - Pei Gai had almost never heard of his name in his previous life - but in the troubled times, although Kansai was big, he was the only one who could be appointed. Moreover, according to Pei Wei, Mr. Dong "The righteousness of the "Three Rites" is only respected by the Zheng family.

In fact, Pei Gai did not study the Confucian schools of the past dynasties, and he did not distinguish between the advantages and disadvantages. He only knew that Confucianism had changed since Dong Zhongshu, and he catered to the ruling class without any restraint; In the Wei and Jin dynasties, it changed again, turning into metaphysics, that is, following the chatter of the old master Dong and going farther and farther; Tang Confucianism returned to personnel, Song Confucianism turned into science, and from then on, this broken car fell apart more and more, and finally completely solidified the national ideology and went to the reactionary side of society......

But in the same period, the various schools of Confucianism were superior and inferior, and Pei should not be able to distinguish between them - of course, based on his dislike of science, he felt that during the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhejiang was the best, although there was a difference between Zhejiang and science, he actually couldn't say that he was ugly.

However, he knew that on the occasion of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the main schools of Confucianism were Wang Xue and Zheng Xue, and basically Zheng Xue was pressed to the ground by Wang Xue. Although he is still a Jin minister, in view of the death of the Western Jin Dynasty and the decline of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the original history, Pei Gai secretly adheres to a principle, that is: I must oppose what the Sima family advocates, even if it is inconvenient to express objections on the surface, I must secretly try to get rid of him!

Therefore, Pei Wei recommended Dong Jingdao at the beginning, as soon as he heard that this was Zheng Xue's family, Pei Gai immediately went to Gu Maolu, and the old gentleman was not difficult to speak, and he also gave Pei Gai the idea of compiling the "Surname Chronicle", so Pei should want to use this for a long time. This time, in order to develop the cause of culture and education, he sent envoys again and warmly invited, but Mr. Dong no longer shirked - teaching and educating people is the most glorious profession for scholars, isn't Confucius famous for being a "teacher"?

Pei Gai personally went out of Chang'an City to greet him, took Dong Jingdao to Da Sima's Mansion, gave him a warm welcome, and gave the old gentleman a detailed introduction to the situation of the newly built school in Chang'an City. He said that at present, the teachers are in place, and I plan that as soon as you take up your post, you will be called for students openly, and my plan is that no matter where you come from, as long as you are aspiring to be a scholar, above 15 and below 40, you can be enrolled.

The reason why the age is stipulated is that in the Han Dynasty, there were people over sixty years old, and the gray hair was still too much of a student, Pei should feel that this is a complete waste of educational resources, even if that kind of old gang dish is learned, what else can he do? I engage in education to train grassroots officials, and I really don't play charity.

Dong Jingdao groaned: "Regardless of background, can I be enrolled?" It must also be screened so that there is no mixing of those who are interested in learning and those who are traitors......"

Pei Gai nodded and said: "This is a natural ......" The natural tuition and miscellaneous fees of the officials and students are all free, and the accommodation is at the public expense, and even the food and drink at the public expense, as soon as these preferential conditions are promulgated, I don't know what cats and dogs have sharpened their heads and want to squeeze in, where do I have so many resources to waste?

So he explained to Dong Jingdao: "Jingshi Guozi and Taixue only call the children of officials, even if they are too students in the Han Dynasty, they are also recommended by officials. Or Yundang asks the chief officials to verify their identities and issue a letter to prove that they are not guilty of adultery, and they can only be enrolled, but I am afraid that if the officials are selfish, the scholars of one county and one county will inevitably be aggrieved.

"Therefore, the right to review is vested in the sir, what talents are available, what examinations must be taken before admission, after admission, the study law should be followed, and how the study law should be formulated, etc., please Sir plan in detail, and consult with me so that it can be written. The discussion is established, and the provisions are in place, no matter whether it is recruited or opened, the power lies with Mr., and the platform will not be hindered. ”

Speaking of this, Pei Gai smiled slightly, and said for example: "For example, if someone has violated the law of the country and has been pardoned, if Mr. sees him as a talent that can be created and has the intention of repentance, he can also be hired; If my children enter school and violate the law, as long as the evidence is conclusive, my husband can be relieved to be dismissed, and I will never intercede for them. ”

In addition, Pei Gai also planned to allocate all the education funds to Dong Jingdao, and he planned independently, including how many students to call, how to pay for meals, and so on. In the future, the bank will also coordinate a sum of funds on an annual basis to provide a steady stream of supply, and the old gentleman only needs to do a good job of the account, and the line will send someone to check it.

When Dong Jingdao heard this, he was silent on the surface, but his eyes clearly flashed with joy, so he arched his hand towards Pei Gai: "Thank you, Da Sima." Pei Gai smiled: "This is the country, not my personal selfishness, why should Mr. thank you?" I only hope that the world's talents, under Mr. Xian's door, he will be a slaughterer for the officials in the future, and he can revitalize the community. ”

Immediately, the two began to discuss the details of running the school. Mr. Dong only doesn't like one thing, but since Pei Gai has already offered such good conditions, it is basically a policy to give money and let him run the school independently, so it is not appropriate to fight anymore. Why not? It's the name "Principal".

Chang'an Xingtai school, of course, can no longer be called Taixue, Guozixue, Pei should take the Han Dynasty local school, school, Zhen, the first two words of the four levels, called "school" - in the old gentleman's mind, must be the reason. It doesn't matter, but why call me "Headmaster"?

A school is learning, why can't I be called a "senior"? The second is that the word "long" is used as an official title, which is not noble, for example, the big county is the order, the small county is the chief, and then for example, in the three armies of the big Sima, the chief officer below the three levels of the team is called the chief, and then the governor and even the commander.

Therefore, the old gentleman thinks that the most appropriate name should be "Xueling", and no matter how bad it is to imitate the central government, it will be called a doctor directly...... Forget it, don't worry about these details with Da Sima, I'll be the principal for a few years first.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Dong Jingdao and Pei Gai roughly agreed, and then retreated to the fine house prepared for him to draw up a plan for running a school. But before the plan could be reported, Pei Gai immediately received an urgent report from Pei Xu, saying that there was civil strife in Pingyang, and Liu Cang had already waved his army north.

So he urgently summoned the staff to discuss, and the big guys said that they could order Zhen Sui to take this opportunity to seize Fenyin and Wenxi, so as to recover the whole county of Hedong. Especially the Pei family, they have long wanted to go back to their hometown - although in fact, many people have not returned to their hometown since they were born - but Liu Cang blocked between Linfen and Jiangyi and did not leave, so for the sake of the overall situation, he had to endure it first, and now he finally can't bear it anymore, and he doesn't have to endure it anymore.

Several martial artists thought further, and Guo Mo immediately suggested: "The snipe and the clam are fighting, the fisherman is profitable, Liu Cang and Liu Yao are fighting endlessly, our army just took the opportunity to go north, attack its fatigue, and go straight to Pingyang!" ”

Tao Kan also said: "For example, in the past Wei Wuding Hebei, with Guo Jia's strategy, first the two Yuan contended, and then took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the time - the minister thought that it was the time, when he ordered Zhen to recover Hedong, continue to go north, looking for an opportunity or to recover Pingyang." ”

The generals all said that Pingyang is the foundation of Hu Han, even if it is a dead horse, there are a few catties of bones, and it may be difficult to overcome it just by relying on Zhen and a brigade. In this regard, they have asked for orders, hoping to lead troops into battle and reinforce Zhen Sui.

However, Peng Liuzhuo shook his head again and again, and said: "If the grain and materials are sufficient, our army would have gone down to the east of the river and headed for Pingyang, so why wait for the two Liu to fight?" Now that the treasury is empty, if it weren't for Zhou Shida's dispatch of people to provide for it a few days ago, I would have been unable to make ends meet, I'm afraid I would have crashed into my head in front of Ming Gong's car...... How can we have more spare strength to supply and send more soldiers and horses to the north? ”

The so-called "Zhou Shida sent people to supply" refers to the fact that Yang Hu had accumulated a lot of grain in Hanzhong, and Zhou Hu was about to run out of grain, so he had to enter Nanzheng, and he ate all of a sudden. However, although Hanzhong has accumulated for many years, the grain is abundant, but the weapons and equipment are relatively scarce, and the Zhou visit is boring, Yang Hu offered a plan, saying that we might as well take the grain to Guanzhong to exchange weapons.

Because Pei should have used Yu Ling and other businessmen to do business with Yang Hu before, although the two sides are enemy countries, and they have also seen battles - Yang Hu once was ordered by Li Xiong to go north to help Yang Nan - it is not suitable for official exchanges, but you can do smuggling business through private businessmen.

Therefore, Zhou Wan took out more than 10,000 grains and grass for transportation, which solved Liu Zhuo's urgent need. However, Zhou Shida did not explicitly exchange, he sent his son-in-law Tao Zhan to come, claiming that it was because Da Sima had sent troops to respond, and ordered Shangluo County to guard Pei Zhen to send grain-although it did not come in handy-so he deliberately contributed to reward kindness. Tao Zhan and his father Tao Kan had a private meeting, and prepared how the Hanzhong armor staff was lacking, and it was inconvenient to resist the intrusion of Ba Yi, Tao Kan understood, and immediately went to Pei Gai, asking Pei Gai to give dozens of collar armor, thousands of knives, thousands of spears, and a small number of bows and arrows.

Then, of course, it will be said that Guanzhong is short of food, and if Hanzhong has it, he can pay some more tribute; There is still a surplus of weapons in Guanzhong, and if Hanzhong is lacking, it can also be applied for.

- That's right, with the courtiers, between the superiors and subordinates, what kind of business? We are in a normal relationship of giving and giving.

Therefore, when Liu Zhuo mentioned this matter today, Tao Kan asked with a pleasant face: "After Wenxi and Fenyin, I searched their treasury and ordered the supply of large households in the county, and I was able to get food." But I don't know how many more troops can be sent out, and all the treasury has? ”

Liu Zhuo groaned for a while, put his fingers in his sleeve and calculated, and responded: "At most, five thousand troops...... Wenxi, Fenyin all, difficult to estimate, if the point of the treasury exists, it is appropriate to two thousand. ”

Guo Mo said repeatedly: "Too little, too little!" ”
