"The Dingkou of the State of Chu may be three million, and the Dingkou of the State of Qin is more than fifteen million. With a one-on-five approach, how can you win? Culture. "Xiong Jing's big pine forest tone, the 'Chaoguo people' is the most difficult, the 'Chaoguo people' courtiers can accept it, and there is no suspense in the last two.

"There are two new things: one is paper;" A whole piece of paper was brought up by the temple people, and it was more than a meter long and nearly a meter wide. "Bamboo slips are written, bamboo needs to be cut, cut bamboo, baked, each piece of blank bamboo slips needs half a penny, half a penny can only write two or three crosses, and its price is too high. Paper is different, although a piece of paper needs to count money, but can write tens of thousands of words, the front can be written on the reverse side, and its price is very cheap.

In addition to paper, there are also printing vessels, which can be completed into 100 books in one night, and there is no need for scribes to copy them. With these two, the children of our Chu country, whether male or female, can learn at the age of eight and become a career at the age of eleven. ”

"Male or female, learn at the age of eight?!" The ministers didn't have time to pat the king's ass, and they were shocked by this request.

"Why, isn't it possible?" Xiong Jing looked at the ministers, except for the teachers, there is no difficulty in popularizing education.

"Tell the king, the number of children in my Chu country is very huge. If you learn at the age of eight and start a career at the age of eleven, regardless of whether you are male or female, there may be 500,000 or 600,000 children, how can you teach them? Sihui Shi Yan jumped out. In an era when the average life expectancy was less than 30 years, minus the number of babies under the age of three, the number of children between the ages of eight and eleven was 500,000, if not 600,000. Ten people teach one person, and it takes 50,000 or 60,000 gentlemen, which is by no means a solution that can be solved in a short period of time, and the cost of money should be tens of thousands.

"The matter of culture and education is more important than military preparation." Xiong Jing said decisively. "The people's mouths and the income of the government can be used for culture and education. The cost of the Chu army and the use of the palace can also be used for cultural and educational ......"

"The king......" The ministers didn't know who took the lead, and they all knelt down one by one. A Ganlu official burst into tears and shouted: "Great king, virtuous king! ”

Confucius's teaching without class has been praised by the whole world, and the king wants to 'learn from men and women at the age of eight', and they can only kneel.

"The ministers are exempt, and the words are not finished yet." Xiong Jing didn't have any joy on his face, what he wanted to teach was not a set of things like Sour Confucianism and Confucius, this was just an accelerated education, not a liberal arts education for the aristocracy. "The Lu people should teach Yayan, the Song people teach the Song language, the Yi people teach the Yi language, the Yue people teach the Yue language, and the Chu people teach the Chu language."

The face of the Ludi official began to change greatly, and Xiong Jing continued: "The books that the boy studied were either selected from the Non-Five Classics or from the Zhuzi, and so on. In addition to the book, there are martial arts, numbers, medicine, courtesy, or shooting. ”

"The king must not." The Lu people, who were grateful just now, now stood up with righteousness and awe. "The Song people teach the Song language, the Yi people teach the Yi language, and the more people teach the Yue language, this must not be!"

"Why not?" Xiong Jing had to stop.

"The books in the world have been on the same track for a long time, but the countries are in chaos, so that the books are not on the same track. The king ordered the Yi people to teach the Yi language, and the people who razed the people were barbarians, and they did not teach them Yayan, so how to educate them? ”

Even if he was far away, Xiong Jing could smell Meng Zhao's sour and rotten breath, and after listening to him patiently, he asked, "Yiren has Yiyu, why do you want to teach Yayan?" Do I, the Chu people, also want to teach Yayan? ”

"Great King...... Meng Zhao snickered, "...... The king also spoke in a wise saying. ”

"Then I'll speak Chu." Xiong Jing also laughed, but his voice changed, and it was already Chu language. Although it is not very authentic, it is the Chu language. "In the future, in the imperial court, Chu Chen speaks Chu language, Yichen speaks Yi language, Yue Chen speaks Yue language, and Song Chen speaks Song language."

"King, this is inconvenient!" More courtiers admonished, and not all of them were Lu people.

"Then all speak Chu language, and Lu Di also teaches Chu language, so that's it. Can? Xiong Jing still laughed.

"The king shall not." Meng Zhao stood up again and said no. "Yayan, all countries in the world practice it, and I teach and practice Yayan in Chu ......"

"I, the state of Chu, teach Yayan, and then wait for the Qin people to come and attack the city?" Xiong Jing glared at him angrily, "After the siege of the city and the ground, any orders of the Qin people, I, Chu Min, can understand and understand?" You say, are you a spy of the Qin people? ”

"The king, the minister is by no means a spy." Meng Zhao somehow became a spy of the Qin State.

"If you are not a spy, why do you have to ask my Chu people to learn Yayan in order to benefit other countries to attack and govern? Isn't this a spy, who is a spy? Xiong Jing still asked. The purpose of his teaching in the local dialects is the same as the broad-gauge railroad of the Russians and the narrow-gauge railroad of Yan Xishan. Homogenization is easy to rule, heterogeneity is difficult to rule. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zi was able to buy the Guannai officials and troops during the war, but he couldn't buy the Liaodong officials and troops, and the reason was that the Liaodong officials and troops could not understand the Shaanxi dialect at all, and they couldn't buy them if they wanted to.

"King, Meng Zhao is definitely not a spy." Other Ludi County Yin and Yi Yin stood up to vouch for Meng Zhao.

"The matter of Lu Di is determined by Lu people. He taught Yayan and Yiyan, but he could ask the people of the country. What language do I teach the Chu people, and I have nothing to do with the Lu people. Xiong Jing reprimanded. What do the people of the counties say, Mr. will teach what words, this is because of the vulgar teaching, the most simple, you have to teach people to say elegant words, does the egg hurt?; And the matter of culture and education, the Lu people teach the Lu people, the Chu people teach the Chu people, the Song people teach the Song people, the Yue people teach the Yue people, and the Yi people teach the Yi people, as a last resort, not to be confused. ”

No one dared to speak, and the Lu people no longer had the excitement they had before, and they even hoped not to implement this kind of cultural and educational policy, because once the Song, Yi, and Yue people were literate, then Confucianism would no longer have the possibility of education. It's just that the Lu people can only influence the affairs of Lu Land, not the affairs of the whole country, especially the new king's admiration for teaching according to customs.

"Cultural and educational matters should be carried out with the financial, material, and human resources of each county and town, and those who are insufficient, Yingdu should make up for them. That being the case, this year's Literary Acolytes Examination should be held as scheduled. However, this is not the choice of the whole country, but the choice of the county. For example, five people are admitted in each county, that is, five people are selected from the people who are native to the county, and people from other counties cannot be impersonated or replaced, which has nothing to do with talent and learning. ”

After explaining the test of the literary attendant that had been canceled, Xiong Jing asked as usual: "The politics of culture and education, can it?" ”

"Respectfully obey the order!" Teaching Yayan is a spy, no one wants to be a spy, and all the ministers are ordered.

"I don't know, Lu Di does not practice witchcraft, so whether the government of worshipping ghosts and gods is practiced in Lu Di is not reluctant, but what is the land of Lu has nothing to do with the Lu people." Xiong Jing picked out Lu Di at the beginning. "I don't know that other places are heavy witches, the county has county witches, the county has a witch, and the nobleman's house has a private witch, which is a custom in various places, and the people are convinced. There are gods in all things in heaven and earth, so it is not a pretense to think that it is impossible to educate all the people without witchcraft, and it is impossible to give relief to all people without witchcraft, but to this day, witchcraft has no written canon, no clear doctrine, and no place for education.

It is imperative that the shamans compile canons and clarify their teachings, and even more so, build places for indoctrination. The income of the state of Chu is limited, but the focus of education is on education, not on the palace. An open space can also gather people to teach, and the most important thing is how to teach and how to teach......"

Chu is a **** country, and the kings of Chu in all dynasties are spiritual cultivators, that is, the chief wizard, and Ling Yin is Lingyin. The 'Yin' of the county yin, the yi yin, and the gong yin, which means 'the chief of the priests', became an official part-time after being secularized. Xiong Jing removed the Lu people to discuss the matter of witchcraft, in fact, they did not remove them, and they did not dare to oppose the Chu State's policy of 'worshipping ghosts and gods', and they were opposed to doing it in Lu at most.

'Worship of ghosts and gods' is the only new policy that has not been interrupted, after Xiong Jing finished speaking, the ministers said loudly: "The ministers are respectfully ordered!" ”

After that, they walked out of the court, and the temple ceremony ended. However, before these men could return to the mansion, they heard someone shouting in the street: "The king will make a new policy, what is a new policy?" The people of the dynasty, the emphasis on literature and religion, and the worship of ghosts and gods are also ......"

"Who's making a noise?" On the four-wheeled ox cart, Chen Jian was closing his eyes to recuperate, just now he saw standing for a long time, he was already tired of old age, but when he heard the harsh 'Chaoguo people', he opened his eyes again.

"Yu County Gong, it's ......" The attendant who accompanied the car opened the window and looked out of the car, and said, "It's a Huang Jin, with words written on it." ”

"Huang Jin?" Chen Jian knew that this was the so-called paper. "Take a look."

On the side of the intersection was a piece of yellow paper pasted on the wall, and the clerk stood on its side, and a group of scholars gathered around it to take a closer look. Perhaps the reopening of the literary acolytes had overjoyed the young scholars, so a few people were shouting. Of course, not everyone is happy, and after seeing the politics of 'courtiers' and 'emphasizing culture and education', the travelers are all disappointed - in the future, the appointment and dismissal of officials will all be determined by the courtiers, and they will no longer be recommended by the ministers, or they can't be a teacher, because they don't understand the local dialect at all.

"So fast!" Chen Jian looked at the treasure seal of the King of Chu covered on the paper, and didn't feel that he sighed so quickly. "Get out of the city and go to Shouling Junyi."

"Tang Gong, look, this is the king's new policy." Some people got the printed New Deal documents, and some didn't. Shouling Jun is handing over several new deal documents to Tang Sui, Yu Qing, Zhu Guan and others.

"What is this?" It's not like brocade, but ......, Yu Qing asked curiously.

"This is paper, made by the king, and there is still a kind of book-printing vessel, which can make a hundred books in one night." Xiangchengjun explained.

"Paper? Much, very convenient. Tang Sui and the others nodded again and again.

"Tang Gong, let's see what the king's new deal is." Whether it is paper or a book printing vessel, it is not the focus of Shou Lingjun's attention, he is concerned about the new policy.

"This is a policy of leniency for the people." Tang Sui said after reading it. "Although it is said that it is ...... to worship ghosts and gods, it is a common thing, and there is nothing wrong with it."

"But this is also a policy of de-salary." Tang Sui was the oldest, and Zhu Guan waited for him to finish before speaking.

"What is the politics of salary, please teach me." Shou Lingjun hurriedly said.

"In this government, all major affairs are discussed by the people, and the county Yin, Yi Yin, feudal monarchs, and even kings are all subject to it." Yu Qing explained. "If the king is not kind ......to the people of the fiefdom, what will be the result?"

"However, if the monarch is very kind to the people of the fiefdom, Yingdu is helpless against the monarch. However, great changes in the world are imminent, why does the king want to do this? Zhou Wen added that he couldn't figure out the cause and effect, why did the king do this?
