"This country is really big!"

"That is, it can accommodate five or six thousand tribute students to take the exam at the same time, and it is more than enough, can it be small?"

"It's still small, there should be a bigger one, at least 6,000 Tai students, martial arts students, and students of all disciplines can study in it."

"6,000 people? It's more than twice as many as it is now...... Da Lang, is this what the official family means? ”

"The official family naturally wants to revitalize the official ......"

Just when five or six thousand Gongsheng, young and old, were busy taking the Jinshi examination, Wu Haogu rode a horse and Mi Fu together in a circle outside the Guozijian. is also talking about the expansion of the Guozijian - in fact, Wu Haogu is thinking about the demolition of the Guozijian.

Well, people are taking the Jinshi exam, but he wants to dismantle the examination room and sell it for money...... What a profiteer!

However, if you want to demolish the Guozijian, you have to have a better excuse, you can't say that you demolished the Guozijian and sold the land for money, and then used the money to build a palace for the emperor, right? If you want to say that, Wu Haogu has to be ruined.

And the reason that Wu Haogu could think of was that the area of Guozijian was too small to accommodate so many students. In his impression, Guozijian did expand in the Huizong Dynasty, and built a foreign school called Biyong on the original basis (Biyong is the official school of Zhou Tianzi, which is used to teach the six arts), and the number of Tai students has also increased from the original 2400 to 3800 people, if you add Guozixue, martial arts, primary school, calligraphy, painting, etc., maybe there are really five or six thousand people.

With so many students, it is almost equivalent to a larger university in later generations. And there are also some martial arts students who theoretically want to learn riding and archery, and it is indeed a little impossible to expand in the cramped south of Kaifeng Prefecture, so it is very ideal to find a spacious place in the west of the city and build a large college.

And the reason why he said this to Mi Fu is because he knows that Mi Fu will not be long before he has to manage the book (historical), maybe it will be more wide. After all, in this time and space, Mi Fu's son Mi Youren is also Song Huizong's henchman.

Maybe Song Huizong will also promote his henchman's father to be the secretary of the Guozijian (the second-in-command of the Guozijian) or something, and it will be much easier to demolish the Guozijian at that time.

However, Mi Fu is still a little suspicious of Xingxue, "Xingxue is Wang Anshi's way!" ”

Of course, Wang Anshi's Xingxue is also a sin! Later generations often ignored this point, but in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were many people who opposed Xingxue.

Among the various new policies implemented by Wang Anshi, the worst is "revitalizing official learning".

Of course, everyone's opposition is not because the school is not good, but because they think that Wang Anshi's line is very bad. In fact, official education is "taking officials as teachers", and if you teach some practical skills, such as military, engineering, economic, and legal, there is nothing wrong with it. However, Wang Anshixing's official school does not teach practical learning, but for "one morality", that is, to unify everyone's thoughts.

Well, there's nothing wrong with unifying thoughts. In fact, everyone's thinking is quite unified, and they are all Confucian. Can you still read Jesus Christ with the Pentateuch? However, Wang Anshi still has to make a fuss about interpreting the Confucian classics, completely unifying the standards, and negating the research results of the Confucian classics since the Han and Tang dynasties, all of which must be in accordance with his standards.

This one is more annoying...... Wang Anshi is not a saint, who serves whom? Moreover, "one morality" is very imprisoning of the mind. Later, Zhu Xi's science and Bagu articles were also in a similar way, and they had to control the interpretation of Confucian classics.

And in this way, Confucianism cannot progress - Confucianism, as a very old philosophical thought, exists in the Confucian classics as a framework. In order for future generations to progress, they must break through this framework, and to break through, they can only work interpretation.

If the right of interpretation is released, Wu Haogu can arbitrarily interpret a "hypocritical republic" Confucianism! But Wang Anshi didn't allow such a blind explanation.

But once future generations have no right to interpret, then Confucianism will not be able to keep pace with the times, people's minds will be imprisoned, and Confucianism will die.

Therefore, Wang Anshi's "Xingguan Learning" and "One Morality" were very disgusted in the late Northern Song Dynasty. In later generations, everyone studied Zhu Pi's Four Books and Five Classics and made eight articles, so naturally they didn't think that "one morality" was wrong, so there were not many people who criticized "one morality".

In other words, most of the Song Confucians that Wu Haogu has encountered now, their thinking is still very active, and they are far from the later rotten Confucians.

And Wu Haogu also knew the "death of Confucianism" in the future. But now, Confucianism is not dead, there is still salvation, and Wu Haogu does not want Confucianism to die.

"There is nothing wrong with Xingxue," Wu Haogu said, "and it is a moral mistake." ”

"What's the hell?" Mi Fu was stunned, turned his head to look at Wu Haogu, "Do you also think that morality is not good?" ”

Wu Haogu smiled and said: "Mr. Haiyue, I am also a Confucian who is familiar with the Five Classics, how can I think that Yidao is right?"

In fact, Wang Jinggong's idea of Xingtaixue also has merit. At present, many officials are not very capable, and there are more than 500 good men on the list, and it would be good to have 50 of them who can really do things. It's actually good to use Taixue to teach people to be officials and do things...... It's just that Taixue doesn't teach real learning at all, and it's still a Confucian classic and a fuss, which is a bit bad. ”

A person who didn't get into the jinshi is actually commenting on too much learning!

Mi Fu listened to Wu Haogu's words and only shook his head, but he was not good at "teaching" Wu Haogu, because although Wu Haogu was different from him, but he was his son Mi Youren's painting teacher.

"Chongdao, who do you think will be the top in this subject?"

Hearing Mi Fu divert the topic, Wu Haogu knew that his idea was not even Mi Fu could not accept, but this is also normal, he is still not enough weight! Fortunately, it's still early, and there is time.

Wu Haogu thought for a while and said, "Huaishui Li Yuanliang, Jian'an Fan Hui Shu and Fuqing Lin Shuzhong, as well as Pingjiang Ji Yizhi should all be expected to be among the first." ”

"Where's Brother Ling?" Mi Fu said, "His article is very good, and he is also well-known in Taixue, and he is also your brother, maybe he will win the world's top spot, right?" ”

"Champion?"

Mi Fu's words were actually half a joke, but Wu Haogu thought about it seriously, and actually nodded and said: "It's really not certain, if he does well in the Ministry of Rites test, it is possible to be the champion in the palace test." ”

The first name of the Ministry of Rites test is "Provincial Yuan", which is actually the highest gold content. Because "provincial yuan" is taken out in the case of transcribing and obscuring names, there are more ingredients for real skills. And the champion is hand-picked by the emperor, who is the first is not Zhao Ji's meaning?

Wu Haowen is now not only the younger brother of the emperor's number one henchman Wu Haogu, but also the son-in-law of the future Prime Minister Han Zhongyan.

"Chongdao, what about you?" Mi Fu then asked, "Your brother is in, you should also cultivate a little Confucianism, right?" The next subject will also be taken as a jinshi. ”

"Me?" Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, "My knowledge is not good." ”

Mi Fu shook his head and said: "No, just study, didn't you ask Brother Yin to help you find a gentleman?" Now there is a good candidate, do you want to learn? ”

Wu Haogu has now decided to take the martial arts exam, but he still asked: "Who is that gentleman?" ”

Mi Fu said: "Su Dongpo. ”

"Who?"

Mi Fu glared, "Su Dongpo, don't you know who it is?" Your Christie's line has sold a lot of calligraphy. ”

"I know......" Wu Haogu was stunned and stunned.

"He will go to Haizhou soon, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he returns to Beijing." Mi Fu said, "The old man and Su Dongpo are close friends, why don't you introduce a disciple for you?" ”

Dongpo disciple ...... Sounds good!

Wu Haogu calculated, everything that has been linked to Su Dongpo in these years is valuable, what Dongpo meat, Dongpo hat, Dongpo toothpaste, and now there are more Dongpo disciples of himself!

By the way, I still plan to run an education!

In terms of running a school, the signboards of the merchants, the near luck and the military attache are probably not as good as Su Dongpo, right? Find a way to make Su Dongpo naming ...... Dongpo Academy! That sounds amazing!

"Good!" Wu Haogu clapped his hands, "Mr. Haiyue, then there is work." ”

"Well said, well said." Mi Fu said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Su Dongpo may return to Haizhou so early, or you proposed it in front of the official, he really owes you a favor, how can he accept you as a student." ”

……

Wu Haowen had already read the volume he had made three times from beginning to end at this time. The thirty questions are answered in a decent manner, and there is also a "treatise" and a "countermeasure", which are also well written, which makes people feel hearty when they read it. In addition, Wu Haowen also made sure that there were no mistakes or omissions on his paper, and there were no mistakes.

He looked up and looked out the window at the sky, it was just early afternoon. In just two or three hours, all the answers have been answered.

He picked up the scroll, handed it to a servant who walked briskly towards him, and smiled in return: "It's hard work." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." The little official is a person who is too learned, so he knows Wu Haowen and knows that this person must be in the middle of this science, so he hurriedly put away the roll and turned to leave.

Coming out of the gate of Guozijian, Wu Haowen found that there were already many tribute students who had handed in the papers outside the door. Most of them were beaming and obviously did well in the exam.

So it's naturally good to hand in the papers early, and if you can't pass the test, you're in a hurry in the exam room now!

Ji Yi and Mi Youren have also come out, and they are bragging with a group of candidates. Mi Youren's eyes were sharp, and he saw Wu Haowen at once, and shouted after Lao Yuan: "Second Brother Wu, you also came out?" How did you do on the exam? ”

Wu Haowen was full of spirits and replied loudly: "This subject must be successful!" ”

Mi Youren also laughed and said: "Brother Yi and I are also very sure, it seems that it won't be long before I can roll call outside the Donghua Gate!" ”
