A "current affairs instructor" is a future school principal. One county and one "current affairs discipline" will be developed into "one county and one school", and 1,632 "current affairs instructions" will eventually be transformed into 1,632 schools.

This school is a primary school and a middle school in one, and on this basis, it is divided into independent primary and secondary schools.

The source of students in the "school" is not only future civil servants, but also ordinary people who have no intention of pursuing a career in public service.

China's modern basic education began with these 1,632 schools.

This is one of the reasons why Guan Zhuofan did not allow the Ministry of Rites to interfere in the "current affairs training". "Current affairs", the Ministry of Rites is certainly confused, and at the same time, you can't expect the old men in the Ministry of Rites to be able to do a good job in modern basic education, right?

As mentioned earlier, in Guan Zhuofan's abacus, the "current affairs discipline" and the state's Xuezheng and county's teachings are both positive eight-grade officials, that is, the "current affairs discipline" is divided into courtesy and teachings, and the subtext of it is: "The school" is not in the "school palace" to partner with the people, but to start anew.

In Guan Zhuofan's planning, in addition to the "school" having its own place to run a school, the finances are also independent, not in the same stream as the "county school" and "state school", and the "current affairs discipline" is all from the "normal hall" in Beijing.

Although it is nominally under the control of the Ministry of Rites, the most important part of it, the "current affairs policy", and its teaching materials and teaching, are all from the "school" system. The "test difference" of the "current policy" - invigilation and marking. It must be sent by the "school" system. Pull it off. More than half of the training and recruitment of China's future civil servants is in Guan Zhuofan's hands.

As for the "Normal Hall", it is naturally the first modern normal university in China. On this basis, the "Normal Hall" will develop into the largest and highest-level comprehensive university in China.

Of course, the hat of "China's first modern university" cannot be worn by the "Normal Hall", and the hat is worn by the "Cantonese Dialect Hall" in Shanghai.

"Open the Sciency. Restore the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties, add 'current affairs', and add 'sticking scriptures and Moyi'", why does Guan Zhuofan have to do the work of Tongren and lead the performance?

Guan Zhuofan called Wu Ren "the mirror of Shilin Sect and the leader of Confucianism", which is not a false beauty at all, Wu Ren is such a status, real, and there is no water at all. If the number of seats is arranged. In the same year, the whole of China. The first person to be a "scholar" is none other than Waren.

At the turn of Taoism and Xian, Sinology declined, and science arose, replacing Sinology as the mainstream academic trend. In fact, Zeng Guofan's merits and influence mainly came from the pacification of Hong Yang and Qimeng Western, and his achievements in "academics" were completely hyped and exaggerated by later generations.

He is the real "master of science". Moreover, although he is only six years older than Zeng Guofan, he is a scholar who is a direct sect of Wu Ren, and he is also a teacher and friend of Zeng Guofan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Zeng Disheng gave Wu Genfeng a "disciple ceremony". In fact, even the famous "Zeng Guofan's Diary" was also under the advice and supervision of Wu Gong Feng, Zeng Di Shengcai "also followed Gen Feng's example, and wrote a chapter every day, all in the book, so as to be shocking and cured".

The so-called moral articles, as far as the "articles" are concerned, Wu Ren has constructed a complete system of science - "reason in the heart", but because "things are hidden", "people's reason is lost", so it is necessary to "know", that is, through study and self-examination, to re-understand the reason in the heart. This process is called "doing the best of one's nature, the best of humanity, and the best of things," and even saints are no exception.

As far as "morality" is concerned, he puts his own theories into practice, and is consistent on the outside and on the outside. "Dignified and quiet", "self-cultivation", "self-observation and prudence", "self-denial" this set, words and deeds are the same, perseverance.

The people of the time praised Wu Ren and said: "Those who learn from Song Confucianism between Tao and Xian will be the first choice." ”

Zeng Guofan used "the type of the world, the group of people to look up" to describe the widow.

In the original time and space, after the death of Wuren, Weng Tonggong sighed: "Woohoo! The philosopher is dead, and the misfortune of this country is not only admired by the loss of learning! ”

In Weng Tongyong's mouth, Wuren already has the nature of a "quasi-saint".

It is precisely because of Wuren's prestige and status in Shilin that Wenzong ordered him to be sent to the little emperor as a teacher, and he was the "chief master".

The conservatives are led by Wu Ren, and Guan Zhuofan has not thought of "moving" him. However, after a little temptation, he found that his position in the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, especially the Queen Mother, could not be shaken at all. The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces did not understand the "article" of the old man, but she had unconditional trust in the "morality" of the old master. At this point, Guan Zhuofan had no choice but to admit that he was inferior.

This is a true god, since you can't move it, you have to try to "recruit peace" and use it for your own use, otherwise, it's too much of a waste of materials.

This is why Guan Zhuofan must do the work of Tongwuren, and he must lead the performance of "opening a branch to take scholars, restore the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties, add 'current affairs', and 'paste scriptures and Moyi'".

With the prestige and status of the Uren Shilin, he took the lead in advocating the reform of "restoring the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties", which must achieve twice the result with half the effort, or in other words, "the fortress is the easiest to attack from the inside".

Guan Zhuofan used both soft and hard, even deceived and deceived, and the magic weapon was exhausted, and Wu Ren finally gave in, and this "representative of conservatives" in history actually became the spokesperson of a major reform policy.

This one...... Uh, this gold finger, will it be ...... Got a little bigger? Guan Zhuofan's Wang Baqi, will it be a little over? The image left by Uren in history is not only a "representative of the conservatives", but even a "representative of the diehards" ......!

Woren is indeed a conservative, but "conservative" is a big brand, and the subordinates are divided into categories, different from each other, and the big differences are even opposite in their bones.

Xu Tong's kind is really called "stubborn", the brain circuit is flat, and there is no reason to talk about it at all.

There is also a kind of "conservatives" who account for the majority, just to protect their own vested interests, the difference between the old and the new, and the distinction between the old and the Chinese, is actually just a cover, if they can get greater benefits from the reform, bring down yesterday's self, change the court, it is not a big deal.

The third and least numerous of the benevolent ones is a rare sober among conservatives – soberly aware that the insatiable greed of the bureaucratic gentry has seriously squeezed the living space of the broad masses of the lower classes and profoundly threatened the sustainable development of the dynasty. He advocated the study of science and the idea of "self-denial and retribution," in the hope that at the moral and spiritual level, he could rebuild the self-restraint mechanism within the bureaucratic gentry clique, taking a little less and taking a little less.

Therefore, Wu Ren exclaimed: "The fundamental picture is not in the human heart, not in the skill." He classified all kinds of foreign affairs as "skills", believing that they were not only not beneficial to the "people's hearts", but harmful. On the basis of this understanding, he became a "representative of the conservative faction."

Ironically, in a sense, Uren is right. For the bureaucratic gentry group, "Westernization" is just one more object of fattening, and "skill" is indeed useless to "people's hearts", and "skill" has indeed failed to save the Qing Dynasty from its demise.

In short, Guan Zhuofan believes: first, Wuren is the kind of person who is really worried about the country and the people; second, his mind is clear enough; Third, he is willing to be reasonable. If a person has these three foundations, he will have the possibility of convincing himself to the facts and changing his thinking. Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility of "recruiting peace" and using it for me.

In recent years, foreign affairs have become more and more prosperous, but Wu Ren has become more and more silent, and he is rarely heard to oppose foreign affairs anymore. This also says something.

In fact, Kwan Cheuk-fan agrees with Wo Yan's efforts to "rebuild the self-restraint mechanism within the bureaucratic gentry clique". Considering later generations, different regimes and different historical periods have repeatedly made similar demands on this ruling group. It's just that, sometimes, it doesn't work.

What can produce a certain effect must be the restraint of strong political coercion from the outside, and the consciousness of being the ruler alone, hehe.

The topic is far away, "rebuilding the self-restraint mechanism within the bureaucratic gentry group", including anti-corruption or something, is not Guan Zhuofan's main task at this stage, let's put it for now.

The national affairs are busy, and it is time to consider my own marriage.
