In Hanzhong City, in a small courtyard, there are several Confucian figures sitting at this time. It's a bit shabby to see what they're wearing, and some of them have injuries on their bodies.

However, the man who was surrounded in the center by ordinary people like the stars holding the moon was ruddy and brightly dressed.

Although this person is half a hundred years old, he is a martyr in his twilight years, and he is full of strength, and he has made great contributions in the first battle of Xingyuan Mansion that has just ended.

This courtyard is the public house belonging to Yuwen Xuanzhong himself, a small courtyard with two entrances, and he is now an official of the Lu Qi Dynasty.

In the battle of Xingyuan Mansion, he was not in time anyway, when Xu Ning led the army to attack the city, he led people to attack and kill the mansion, and forced the injured Xingyuan prefect Li Kui to self-immolate and die, which made the defenders feel so confused that Yao Youzhong did not return to Hanzhong City with his men and horses, and the city was taken by Xu Ning in one fell swoop. The Song army that withdrew from Xianren Pass followed the army in great confusion, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and were defeated by Xu Ning's blow. I don't know how long the battle of Xingyuan Mansion will drag on.

Yuwen Xuanzhong has made a great achievement!

In this way, after the war, he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and according to his own wishes, Yuwen Xuanzhong became the instructor of the prisoner of war camp, and if nothing happened in the future, he would be a member of the Hanzhong education system.

And the current house is naturally the public house of officials of a certain rank.

These people sitting in the courtyard at this moment, these scholars who are dressed very shabby, are the people who have made friends with Yuwen Xuanzhong in the many group exercises that gathered in Hanzhong City that day.

These people are from similar backgrounds, and they have a lot of complaints about Zhao Song in private.

Yuwen Xuanzhong pulled them a lot, but it was not all because of their previous friendship, but purely to consolidate the foundation of their family. Weave a strong enough web of relationships.

What could be more important than a life-saving grace?

He Yuwen Xuanzhong is not empty for 50 years. Of course, there are such small means.

Yuwen Xuanzhong's eyes were red, this was just crying, he was naturally not ruined, but just grieving for his 'friend' who died. The news just arrived that a regimental general who was seriously injured had died of serious injuries.

The injuries suffered in the chaotic army do not know whether they were beaten by the Qi army or the knife of the Song army's deserters. The horizontal and vertical people are gone. Yuwen Xuanzhong lost a 'best friend'.

And although that person is not from Guangdu, he is also from Jinguancheng, and he is in the same house, and the relationship is quite close. was originally a rich and noble gentry, and his life was lost in a foreign land, as a fellow villager, it is reasonable for Yuwen Xuanzhong to cry bitterly.

But the readers who visited the room looked at him with a faint envy in their eyes.

Yuwen Xuanzhong is decisive. Great Xia fell, they should all be buried for the building, but as a result, Yuwen Xuanzhong not only did not be martyred, but caught a ladder to the sky!

Of course, they are also lucky, not lucky to befriend Yuwenxuan in many regiments, how can they wash away the 'crime' in a short period of time, and now they are still free? It's just that Shuzhong has not yet been pacified, and they can't go home now.

"Brother Yuwen is really courageous, under the eyelids of more than 10,000 defenders, he gathered troops in the mansion and killed him with one blow, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people."

I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Not everyone can have the hard work and decisiveness in Yuwenxuan.

"Brother Yuwen is so heroic, it can be said that he has made a good paving for my Sichuan and Shu people in the new dynasty. The younger brother can be heard to make his younger brother Yuwen Huangzhong erudite and talented, very intelligent, the elder brother has made great contributions to the new dynasty today, why worry about making the younger brother not favored by the new dynasty, tomorrow can not show great ambitions? The ambition of the First World War. In the eyes of these people, the Yuwen family has already reported the big thick legs of the Lu Qi Dynasty, and after the new dynasty settles down, it will definitely recruit some local elites to win the hearts of the people, and the Yuwen brothers will be of great use in the future.

"It really makes the foolish brother envious, and I also feel that my generation is dumbfounded!" The oldest person in the room said slowly.

A wave of tongues flowed, and sure enough, the topic was shifted from Yuwen Xuanzhong to Lu Qichao.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, let alone a change of dynasty?

Not to mention that Lu Qichao and Zhao Song have so many differences.

In the world of the Zhao family, everyone knows that 'reading' is the best ladder to the sky.

The protégé of the Son of Heaven is straight to the clouds. Chao is Tian Shelang, and at dusk ascends to Tianzi Hall, reading is the best upward channel for the Zhao family in the world. But what is Lu Qi's upward channel?

It seems to be a study for the imperial examination, but it seems to be a battlefield fight......

"Our family has a lot of money, but they are different from the children of the generals. Let the descendants go to the army to fight, I am afraid it is not the wish of my generation. Yuwen Xuanzhong's words won the nods of everyone, of course they didn't want the future generations to fight for wealth in the sword and spear forest. Compared with enlisting in the army, they prefer that their children can take the road of civil officials, but what their descendants have learned and know is very different from the requirements of the Lu Qi Dynasty.

Looking at the number of roads that Lu Qi chooses, on the contrary, their housekeepers have more advantages than their sons and grandsons. What do you call it?

Yuwen Xuanzhong smiled on his face, he will be in the education system in the future, and his understanding of the selection of materials in Lu Qi's official mansion is even clearer. The current school system is completely different from the past seowon and government school systems, and the teaching materials inside are even more unrecognizable.

"The Zhao family is in the world, everything is inferior, but only reading is high. But the book I read was only the Four Books and the Five Classics, and what I read was a Confucian character. It may be said that Zhao Song took the word 'special'. That Lu Qi walked with the word 'Bo'. It is not piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but astronomy and geography, but arithmetic nature. ”

Yuwen Xuanzhong explained to them in detail the academy above the academy, and told about the 'technical' officials in Lu Qi's officialdom.

This is the ascending channel of the Lu Qi Dynasty.

"Zhao and Song Dynasty took Confucianism as the backbone, and soldiers, legalists, engineering, and computing were all included in this road. This is like the hemp rope, strands are screwed together, from beginning to end within the constraints of the word 'Confucianism'. But Lu Qichao is like that big tree. The big tree has countless branches and leaves, and there are countless rhizomes and thin whiskers underneath. The new dynasty takes the essence of each family and faction and melts it into a furnace, and takes a Bo character. Like the trunk of the big tree, from the bottom up, step by step, until the top of the high academy. That is from Bo to refinement, like the countless branches of a big tree. ”

Yuwen Xuanzhong tried his best to express his cognition of Lu Qi in simple and vivid words. "Naturally, there are many geniuses in the world, and they are broad-minded, so naturally they can turn from fine to broad. But it's not what I can say in Yuwenxuan. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official of Lu Qi, in the final analysis, pays attention to practicality. Whether it's accounting, law, engineering, military, etc., or all other aspects, it's about applying what you've learned. Lu Qi's deeds, but Wan Wan is not only preached in words. ”

This 'application of learning' is the real learning of deeds that seeps out from the roots.

"I see, I see. In the past, I only listened to Zhao Song preach Lu Qi's deeds, and Lu Qi's utilitarianism, but I thought it was Zhu Yang's selfish learning. I never thought that the so-called learning of merit was like this......" The emotion of the oldest person made Yuwen Xuanzhong sigh for a while.

In the past, in Sichuan, didn't Zhao Song promote Lu Qi like that. Just like when Zhu Yang's learning was taken out of context by Mencius and Xunzi, a big hat of 'selfishness' was directly buttoned to Zhu Yang's head. It seems that what Lu Qi once admired was 'plucking a hair and benefiting the world, not doing it' type of people who don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves. Duan didn't know that Lu Qi's learning of deeds and merits was the essence of the Tao in the application of what he learned in things. There's a big boss gap.

Of course, if it weren't for Yuwen Huangzhong's 'well-informed', Yuwen Xuanzhong would not have been able to 'comprehend' so quickly.

"Listen to what Xuanzhong said, and in the future, you must let your children and grandchildren go to school. Compared with the Zhao and Song dynasties, the official government of the new dynasty has a lot more official positions and officials. And all the official positions are in the academy. Military affairs, civil affairs, legal affairs, fortifications, etc., the school is the ascending channel! ”

The words in Yuwen Xuan are deep and meaningful, and they come from the bottom of their hearts. That school is the upward channel in the future.

If you want to be an official, then go to school first. For gentry like them, the so-called ascent is to enter the officialdom. There are a lot of roads in the Lu Qi Dynasty Academy, and the more official positions at each level, the more classifications, isn't that the more extensive the upward channel is?

Every country must have an upward channel, a passage from the middle and lower strata of society all the way to the top level, and an upward passage that allows a person from a poor background to participate in the distribution of rights and interests of a country and the position of major national policies!

Because only in this way can we bring vitality to the society and bring great forward momentum to the society. A country and civilization with a narrow upward channel and a solidified class will have no impetus for development.

Everyone was silent.

"Ascending channel?" Everyone can understand what it means.

"This is the word used by Lu Qichao, simply put, it is the ladder to the sky." Yuwen Xuan said unabashedly.

"The officials of the new dynasty not only need people who are amazing in literature and full of poetry and books, but also people who are good at calculation, people who are proficient in law, people who are familiar with military books, people who are proficient in civil engineering, and people who are proficient in the law of construction, such as Li Jie, just like Yu Wenkai......"

Yuwen Xuanzhong's expression was a little excited, because this made him think of himself and Yuwen Yangzhong. Among the three brothers, their talent in reading is not as good as Yuwen Huangzhong, but this is only inferior to poetry books, if it is compared to arithmetic, the second Yuwen Yangzhong is the first. This means that in the new dynasty, people like Yuwen Yangzhong can enter the officialdom through arithmetic.

People have different talents, some people have a strong memory, and such people are certainly good at reading the Four Books and the Five Classics. But some people are talented in mathematics, some people are super interested in the law, some people are talented in civil engineering, and so on. Isn't this a broader upward channel?

There was only the first way to go, but now there are several more.

"The confinement of the social power class will only lead to the rapid demise of the whole society." Yu Wenxuanzhong somehow thought of a sentence in his manual. It is said that this sentence was uttered by Emperor Lu. Huang Zhong Da Lu, shocking to the heart.

Yu Wenxuan sighed.

Because this sentence gave him a feeling completely different from the previous dynasties, those who were in charge of each dynasty, once they gained power, who was not thinking about how to make the family rich and prolonged for generations? Only Emperor Lu put forward the current claim. And that's the difference in perspective.

Standing on the shoulders of the times and looking into the distance, how could Lu Qian be 'blind'?

Maintaining the 'new cost' of social power is a must to shave off the decay of society as a whole. Just like the difference between stagnant water and living water, fish in stagnant water are safer at first, but what about after a long time? Can fish still be fed in rotten and smelly water?

What about living water? The effect is completely different.

Flowing water does not rot, the hub does not beetle, and it moves. The ancestors have long had opinions on this point, but very few people can take the initiative to do this.

The Zhao and Song dynasties opened the prosperous era of the imperial examination and threw the family of gate valves from the Eastern Han Dynasty to Li Tang into the garbage heap of history, but the decline of the Northern Song Dynasty did not make this mistake again. Who dares to say that the reason why the Northern Song Dynasty died was the responsibility of the great artists, and there was no credit for Cai Jing?

He served as prime minister four times before and after, for a total of 17 years, and can be called the first person in Zhao and Song Dynasty.

There are also many generals who are like branches, which is also one of the reasons for the decay of the Song army's combat power. Yao Pingzhong, who is less than twenty years old, can be named 'Little Taiwei'. The Western Army was also crushed in the process of the Jurchens going south, otherwise, after they cleaned up the Western Xia, they would have become the second in the Tokyo Forbidden Army in a few decades.

is like the feudal system in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, just like the ...... of the gate valve family from the Eastern Han Dynasty to Li Tang, and even the red polar bear in history.

During the Brezhnev era, the leadership of the Red Polar Bear remained almost unchanged for a long time, and then gradually formed a de facto system of leading cadres for life. This gave the upper classes the opportunity to shelter each other, to support each other, and gradually formed a stable privileged class, forming a closed circle at the top of the power.

Much like the children of the gate valve families in Chinese history, the descendants of the next generation easily entered the top of the state power by virtue of the status of their ancestors, and such a weak sheep became the leader of a group of lions, and the final result would only lead the country to destruction.

Because a society with a fixed class lacks a fair competition, selection and exit mechanism, and elites from disadvantaged groups cannot reach the middle and upper echelons of society, lead the development and reform of the country, and at the same time receive corresponding treatment, which forces these social elites to start anew.

On the other hand, a large number of children of powerful groups who hold these dominant social positions, whose only motivation and goal is to protect their own vested interests at the expense of national interests, lack the spirit of enterprise and innovation, and can only destroy the country in the end. The best example of that is the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Why did Boss Zhao rapidly expand the number of people in the imperial examination in the first place? During the Li Tang Dynasty, there were only a dozen Jinshi in a department, but by the time of Zhao Lao, it became more than 100 people, and when Zhao Lao Er, it became 300 people. The only purpose was to allow more talents from all walks of life to be included in the system of the Zhao dynasty. At the same time, it is also promoting its own standards to the elites of the whole society, inducing more elites to take the initiative to move closer to their rules and enter his rules.

But Zhao Lao Er definitely couldn't have imagined that among his descendants, someone was so stupid as to let the same person be in charge of the prime minister for seventeen years in his early twenties.
