Chapter 169: Learning and Promotion
In the first three years of Emperor Ping, the Eastern Han Dynasty established a local school system, and stipulated that the county was called the school, the county, the province, the yi, and the Hou country were called the school, and the township was called the Xuan, and the gathering was called the order. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause most of the local officials are Confucians, they attach more importance to the repair of the school palace and the promotion of learning, so the county schools have been generally established, and the official and private schools have developed intertwined, forming a scene of "schools are like forests, and the order of the school is full of doors".
However, these official and private schools are all for the children of the family and the children of the poor landlords, and the children of the grassroots people, such as peddlers and pawns, yeoman farmers, tenant farmers, slaves, etc., can only be blind for generations, and they who have not studied can hardly find a legitimate way to improve the fate of themselves and their descendants except for the big families who rely on the Yellow Turban remnants to oppose and oppress them.
Ninety percent of the Han people were illiterate, and this situation was very unfavorable to the development of Jin Liang's forces. Almost all of the literate and able to govern the government come from the family and the Han landlords who are attached to them, and they have brought down a group of families, or they still have to use another group of families to rule the country, although the first batch of families are more benevolent and conscience, but the benevolence and conscience are also limited, and the family wants to develop for a long time, it is inevitable to absorb the blood of the Han people without hard work, and the Wuhu Chaohua may be delayed for a number of years, but the Han nation under the rule of this family will inevitably decline, Sooner or later, they will still be bullied and ravaged by those nomadic tribes one after another. Jin Liang not only wants to promote the education of the whole people in the government school and then the imperial examination, but also combine the education for all with the whole people to create a Chinese version of militarism and turn the East Asian region into a circle of common prosperity in Greater China.
The all-soldier system has been put in place. What now. It is to carry out education for all. When the education for all is implemented, within ten years, the Han nation will no longer be sheep, but a real dragon entrenched in East Asia, eating all those small fish and shrimp, especially the reptile in the East China Sea. It's easier said than done to carry out education for all.
Regarding Jin Liang's plan to set up an official school with great fanfare, the heads of those big families and the private scholars who were attached to them opposed it one after another. Kim's conscience knows that these bastards are giving all sorts of reasons for opposition. They simply want to inherit the official position from generation to generation and keep the foundation of their family, and they are most afraid that their hereditary official position will be replaced by the children of the poor family or those mud-legged families.
Jin Liang convened all the heads of the family and the ministers of the imperial court to discuss the matter, in order to temporarily dispel their doubts and fears, to mix deception and deception, and to set the basic national policy of "education for all".
In the mansion before, Jin Liang fooled the ministers of the court, and now there are only the heads of the family left.
At the banquet, Jin Liang said in a high-sounding manner: "The reason why the government school is greatly promoted allows the children of the lowly and poor to go to school. It is to obey the Confucian sage's 'people can't make it; Cannot. Let the children of those peddlers, pawns, yeoman farmers, tenant farmers, and slaves all accept the Confucianism of the sages, let them know etiquette, know benevolence, know humility, and know shame, so that they will no longer rely on the Yellow Turban remnants to make trouble, and accept the rule of the family and the court in a proper manner, and no longer resent, no longer resist! ”
Jin Liang felt that he had said this very well, presumably these family heads had nothing to say, who knows, as soon as his words landed, he heard a sharp and piercing objection: "What the most holy Confucius said is that the people can make it happen, but they can't make it known; Yasheng Mencius once said that those who work hard govern people, those who work hard govern people, those who govern people eat people, those who govern people eat people, and the general meaning of the world is also. What Confucius and Mencius said is an eternal truth that cannot be changed! Who is you, who dares to change the holy words of Confucius and Mencius, it is really a great rebellion! ”
Jin Liang fixed his eyes and saw that it was Wang Bo, the head of the Wang family in Changshan County, who seemed to be a vassal of the Taiyuan Wang family, and his face looked very similar to Wang Yun, with a dignified appearance and awe-inspiring justice, and it seemed that he was a gentleman in the whole world.
Jin Liang hates such a hypocrite the most, he was talking about Xingtou, but was interrupted by such a person, and heard the foolish people's sentence "The people can make it, but not make it known", he couldn't help but be furious, and his anger rushed to the top of his head, and he stretched out his hand to pull out the seven-star treasure knife to kill Wang Bo, but before he pulled out the treasure knife, he was awakened by another clear voice: "Lord, don't be reckless, although Wang Bo has no words, but he has the aura of Confucius and Meng, if the lord kills him, there will be great disrespect for Kong and Meng, I'm afraid of this, The lord will also offend the world's scholars, don't be careful! ”
When Jin Liang heard Guo Jia say this, the blood that rushed to his brain slowly flowed back, and gradually calmed down, he didn't have enough prestige to resist Confucius and Mencius head-on, but Wang Bo's doubts couldn't be difficult for him, it doesn't matter whether Confucius and Mencius's thoughts are right or wrong, the key is how people understand!
Jin Liang said coldly: "Zi said: 'Flourish in poetry, stand in ceremony, and become happy, and the people can make it impossible to know it.'" Wang Bo, how do you understand this sentence of Kong Sheng? ”
"As everyone knows, what Confucius means is that we rule the people, just instruct and drive them to do things, and don't let them understand what they are doing!" Wang Bo said proudly.
"What a great man Confucius is, but the wise words he said have been misinterpreted into this way by you evil intentions and selfish rats," Jin Liang has been trying to restrain his anger, but whenever he hears such clichéd foolish words, he can't hold back his indignation: "If the original meaning of Confucius is to drive the people to do things without letting them know our purpose, then where does the spirit of benevolence and righteousness advocated by Confucius exist?" Zi said, benevolence, love people. According to your understanding, how did Kong Sheng ever love those subordinates, and how could he have benevolence and righteousness! In my opinion, Sage Confucius is great, and you are obscene and ugly to distort Sage Confucius's remarks so unreasonable! ”
Wang Bo was scolded by Jin Liang, and asked with a gloomy face: "Since General Jin said this, how do you understand Sage Kong's words?" ”
Jin Liang said coldly: "For the people, those who can make them free, and those who cannot also make them known." The whole sentence of Sage Confucius can be understood in this way, the three things of poetry, rites and music are the foundation of educating the people, and they must be grasped well, if the people master poetry, rites and music, it is a good thing. They should be allowed to play. If the population has not yet mastered it. We are going to educate them and make them know and understand these things. ”
Lu Zhi listened to Jin's exposition of Confucius's controversial words, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Only by breaking the sentence and understanding it so can it be seen that Confucius is a benevolent, righteous and sage!" ”
Wang Bo saw that Lu Zhi, the great Confucian in the sea, supported Jin Liang's sentence in this way, his face became more and more green, and he asked tightly: "Then how do you understand Yasheng's words?" ”
Without waiting for Jin Liang to answer, Lu Zhi said sharply: "I see that you, Wang Bo, have also studied for a few years. You should remember the words that preceded Yasheng's words, 'Then the world can be cultivated and made peaceful?' There are things for adults and things for villains. And the body of one person, and the preparation of a hundred workers, if it must be used for its own use, it is to lead the world and the road. On the whole, what Yasheng really wants to express is that there is a division of labor in the art industry, and it is impossible for most of them to be officials, and it is impossible for everyone to be farmers. What everyone does is indispensable.
You take it out of context, and think that those who work hard must be above those who work hard. Think you are the master of all the people at the bottom! You never thought about what your ancestors were before they came from. They are no different from those low-level people who have been oppressed by you to the point of dying, if they all hold official positions from top to bottom like you, and do not allow any low-level people to have the opportunity to come up, I am afraid that you are also digging in the soil now! ”
Lu Zhi's words did not make Wang Bo sober, but made him even more resentful, stood up and pointed at Lu Zhi and Lu Bu: "Act according to our understanding, and the world can be peaceful!" According to your misinterpretation, the world will only be in chaos! Those who disturb the world will wait! ”
Insulting Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can bear it, insulting Lao Tzu's master, Lao Tzu can't bear it, Jin Liang lost his cool on the spot, jumped up, rushed forward and gave Wang Bo a resounding slap.
Wang Bo was standing on the side of the case at the time, and Jin Liang's slap made him fly out a foot away, lying in the center of the banquet, lying on the ground, vomiting blood vigorously, spitting out a mouth full of broken molars, and his face was swollen like a pig's head.
Jin Liang strode forward, walked up to Wang Bo, trampled him under his feet, and scolded fiercely: "Idiot! Go back and read the history books!
How did Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's 'Princely General Xiangning Have a Kind of' come about?
How did our Gaozu establish the Great Han? How did the red eyebrows get up? How did the yellow scarf get up?
You want to fool the people, are you foolish? If you don't educate him, you think he is really just blind and waiting for you to manipulate?
Do you think they will be so supple that they will be slaughtered by you like sheep? Then what do you think of the Yellow Turban remnants of the Han Dynasty? Who is really messing up the world? ”
Jin Liang usually smiles and grins, and everyone he meets is full of spring breeze, and some family heads feel that Jin Liang has no prestige, and they gradually have no original fear of Jin Liang. Today they have seen that once Jin Liang gets angry, he will be murderous, filling the entire hall, and all the four or five hundred people present are silent, and even Lu Zhi and the others, who have been on the battlefield for a long time, are also shocked.
Jin Liang also felt that he had laughed too much, and let these powerful and unvirtuous bastards despise him, from now on, he would still laugh, but he must be powerful where he should be powerful, otherwise the tiger will be treated as a sick cat by these guys if he doesn't exert his might, have they forgotten how they dealt with the five families of Li Cheng?
Jin Liang glanced at all the family heads present and shouted coldly: "Those clichés go to hell, you believe those nonsense, separate yourself from the people who work for you and work for you, and become enemies of each other, do you think this can really last long?" Ladies and gentlemen, we are the boat, the people are the water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat! ”
"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat!" Jin Liang's words were like a fart in the officialdom of later generations, and when he got it at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was like a big stone thrown into the lake, rolling up a thousand waves, and the heads of those families talked about it.
Jin Liang felt that the time had come, so he showed a sincere and kind expression: "Today I will tell you the truth, I am from a poor family, my father is just a hunter, my status today is not easy to come by, I also want the Jin family to prosper from generation to generation, and become a big family such as the fourth and third princes, but I know that we magnates can no longer control the lower class people as before, thinking that if they don't know etiquette and poetry and books, they will obediently listen to us. This peasant rebellion in successive dynasties shows that we, the superiors, are fundamentally wrong. These lower-class people account for 90 percent of our Han people, and if such a large group of people does not bring them into the right track, something will happen sooner or later. ”
The head of the family said, "Please also ask General Jin to show me, what should I do now?" "They lived through a Yellow Turban uprising. Don't want to go through it a second time. Who knows if they will be as lucky as the first time they will be able to escape.
Jin Liang said with a solemn expression: "The previous all-people were all soldiers to incorporate these grass people into the army. Constraints are made from the point of preparation. In the next step, I am going to carry out the education of the whole people, first of all, to educate their children in Confucianism, teach them poetry and etiquette, and let them know loyalty and filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, respect and humility, and honesty. We need to restrain them spiritually. The combination of these two measures will surely prevent them from rioting. ”
There was a family head who was keenly aware of a hidden danger: "When these poor people know about the etiquette poems, will the general reuse them and reject the children of our family?" ”
Jin Liangxin said, you guessed it, the next step of the national education is to take the national imperial examination, and when most of the people are literate, and there is no shortage of people to govern the place, the general will start the national imperial examination, thinking so in his heart. But he said: "You are too worried, the children of the commoners cultivated by the Daxing official school this time." will not be like the protégé of the Son of Heaven of the Hongdu Gate of the first emperor, who will be immediately sent to be a county guard or assassin history, but will only be a small official in the pavilion, township, and county! ”
The small officials of the pavilion, township, and county are all official positions that the children of the family are unwilling to do, and they have always been divided by the vassal tyrants of the family, but Jin Liang's attitude is very clear, the official positions in the court and the official positions such as the local county guard, the county officer, the county order, the county order, and the township order can be assigned to your family, but these official positions such as the county lieutenant, the county lieutenant, the township officer, the township bureau, and the pavilion fan are all in the pocket of my Jin Liang, and you can't grab it.
When the heads of those families saw that Jin Liang swore an oath and did not blindly make concessions and compromises, they believed it to be true, thinking that if Jin Liang had negotiated the conditions with their family, they would make it clear that the well water would not interfere with the river water, and there were fewer and fewer people who opposed Jin Liang's great promotion of official learning. Jin Liang is a person who loves and hates clearly, if he thinks that person is a friend and not an enemy, he will definitely abide by the covenant between the two until the other party breaks the contract, if he thinks that the other party is an enemy, he will treat the covenant as a piece of waste paper, which can be torn up at any time.
The same is true of the agreement with the head of the family, the talents cultivated in the official school did become small officials in the pavilion, township, and county at the beginning, that was because Jin Liang did not want to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, he wanted his protégés to accumulate more experience in local government affairs, and accumulate a lot of experience. After Jin Liang broke and weakened each of these families, Jin Liang's protégés had accumulated rich experience in grassroots government affairs after years of tempering, and Yi Bu naturally promoted them to important positions in counties and counties, such as county orders, county officials, county taishou, and county officials.
After Jin Liang's patient persuasion, the ministers of the imperial court and the heads of the families in Jingzhou successively agreed to the concept of national education, Jin Liang was worried that these family figures were still stirring up the wind and rain, so he wrote down an agreement in black and white, saying that he would not put his protégé as a county guard and county order, and would not let his protégé rob the children of the family from their jobs. Official schools in various parts of Jingzhou and Taixue in Xiangyang were still established, but they were open to the children of the family and the famous Hanshu.
The education system strongly promoted by Jin Liang was in addition to the existing official and Tai Xue, and found a new way: Jin Liang took the lead in establishing a university hall in Xiangyang, called the Central University Hall, which was a solid foundation of Jin Liang's central system. The Central University Hall is supported by the central system's money bag and the Central Army, and is closely protected by the Central Army, which also provides strong martial arts support for the Central University Hall.
There is no Teachers' College, Military College, Political College, Technical College, Liberal Arts College, or Women's College in the Central University Hall.Why set up a teachers' college?
Jin Liang felt that what the Han Dynasty lacked most now was not generals, not civil servants, but teachers, a large number of qualified and competent teachers, if there were a large number of qualified teachers, the education of the whole people would have a bright future, and the possibility of implementing the imperial examination system in the future and thus suppressing the family would be greater. Jin Liang named the college that trained teachers as Teachers College, which was based on the setting of later generations, and he thought that it would be vetoed by Sima Hui and others.
Sima Hui exclaimed: "Xian Ting Gong, this name is set well, Yang Xiong said in "Speech and Words": 'It is better to study than to seek a teacher. The teacher is also a model of people. We just want to cultivate some 'high learning as teachers, being a model for others, teachers and talents:"
Jin Liang thought that in the harmonious years of later generations, most of the teachers in primary and secondary schools were relatively mediocre among the students of the same class, and how outstanding could the students taught by these mediocre teachers be, the country's education system itself was poor, and those who implemented it were not good, and there were too many talents in this country who could become Dongliang who were delayed, and among those university teachers, experts without teacher ethics abounded.
For the long-term development of the Han nation, Jin Liang had to select the most outstanding talents as teachers from the beginning. Therefore, Jin Liang designated the Teachers College as the most important department in the Central University Hall, and the outstanding students who were most suitable for teachers or could become good teachers with a little training were all arranged in the Central University Hall.
