Chapter 311: Academy
Li Hang, who was white-eyed on the side, seemed to be saying to look at the good things you did.
However, he was very happy about this kind of people's petition, because in any way, this people's petition represents the people's desire to read, which is not bad for the ruling class.
After all, this year is not like the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and most of the scholars in this year still have money at home.
After all, you don't have the money to read a book. Not to mention buying books, I'm afraid you can't afford to buy paper for copying books.
It is precisely because of this embarrassment that reading books has always been a very troublesome thing.
Just like in medieval Europe, if you want to study, you either have to be a child of a rich family, or you have to go to church, otherwise you can't learn knowledge, because paper is expensive, and knowledge is expensive!
Now there are petitions from the people who want to learn knowledge, and even Ying Yun can't stop them at this time, and almost all of the petitions for knowledge are now concentrated in Li Hang, which makes people feel very embarrassed.
You approve it, no one knows what it is like for so many children to study together, but in the same way, how much expense does such a school have, just look at the Wang family.
How much land does the Wang family have?
Look at the surroundings at this point, this Weishan Academy is supported by the agricultural rent of the huge land around it, which is enough to make them proud, after all, the entire Weishan Academy is their root.
A seowon needs the rent of all the peasant households at the foot of the entire mountain to support it, but what about a seowon with a larger number of people?
Although Li Hang didn't say it, this academy must be dominated by children, and according to the best opportunity to learn, that is, between 5-12 years old, these students have the clearest memory.
However, the difference is that those religious schools learn religious knowledge, Confucian schools learn Confucian knowledge, and what they learn here is the scientific knowledge that they have summarized.
It may not be very professional, but at least it is enough as a primary school start.
As long as they are literate, their future books on operating specifications can be sent out directly.
You don't need to know these things, just do what you recorded.
This is the law that those people have summarized for thousands of years, these laws can help people better produce and live, and at this time, they can also be better used to make a good auxiliary to the interior of the entire Great Win Dynasty.
At least Li Hang is very clear that this time the internal affairs of the Daying Dynasty will definitely not refuse this kind of people's request, because in their opinion, it is a good thing for these people to study, no matter what class they are, it is always a good thing to study, as for the problem of being an official that they are worried about, after seeing the nature of this school, it will disappear, if Weishan Academy is compared to a university, then at this time Li Hang's vision of the academy is as if it is a technical school.
However, if they want to say that they are universities, it is estimated that they can directly become officials.
As for the rest, they really don't.
This alone can rule the entire Daying Dynasty, and I have to say that the classic sense of control of Confucianism is still very strong.
Li Hang had no interest in going head-to-head with them, so he chose this format to avoid confrontation.
After all, it is justified to make trouble now, and it is in line with the will of the people to petition for it, which means that it is in line with the will of the people to open this private school now.
As for what this school will be like, whether it is qualified for candidates to take the exam.
This is not their scope of responsibility, the state has a special agency to take care of this kind of thing, and no one else needs to worry about it.
Of course, after this news reached Jinling City, it was immediately known.
As soon as he heard that Li Hang was going to open a private school, he was most proud of Emperor Wu.
"Interesting, this little guy is interesting!" For Li Hang, he really regards him as his grandchild, after all, Ying Yun is not a few years younger than Li Hang.
But this kid has surprised him many times.
This time he also believed that this kid would not be an exception, and this time the school he had built was obviously not for officials, but to increase the number of people in his workshop.
Wang Lu stood aside and pondered the emperor's thoughts.
Then he opened his mouth slowly. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is Li Hang's move to increase the number of people, but Your Majesty, in this way, there is a risk that the weapon will be leaked, although I don't know what the weapon is, but if Li Hang accidentally lets people find out the truth, or leak something, it will be ......."
Wang Lu didn't finish speaking, you must know that there is not only gunpowder in the attack and defense now, but also many other things, if you really count it, there are a lot of secrets in the entire workshop, even if other people want to learn, it is estimated that it will take a long time.
"It's okay!" Emperor Ying Wu shook his hand very indifferently.
"Mo Yuwei has passed, and it is already within their surveillance range, it is said that Yun'er has sent a lot of swords, these swords must be for the internal guards, since these swords are forged by them, it is said that they are also weapons of the god weapon level, if they can be manufactured in large quantities, we will win the dynasty without worry!" Emperor Win Wu is still very optimistic, if this kind of steel armor and weapons are really made, it will be a crushing effect on the surroundings. Moreover, he has already handed over the secrecy of this workshop to his own people.
The three divisions sitting below all understood that they were all people who rebelled with Emperor Yingwu, of course they knew the status of Mo Yuwei, and they also knew what they were good at, these guards were like crows, they were always hidden in the dark on weekdays, and only when they saw something, they would attack them in groups.
They are the key to Emperor Winning the war back then, and they are also an armed force that Emperor Winning Wu himself has always grasped in his hands, and it is this armed force that has provided him with many great military exploits.
How much information was found by them, and now this armed man is secretly protecting the workshop, which shows that Emperor Yingwu has a fancy for the workshop.
"But this kid is slippery, obviously because he lacks people. I even want others to petition, I'm afraid that I think it will be true, and I will be caught by a small whip and not let go, I guess it is also the inner Confucian students! ”
What Confucian students would do, they all knew this.
The current situation does not allow for the emergence of a super-large-scale academy, and it is estimated that if anyone knows that there are academies to be established, I am afraid that the Confucian scholars will be the first to jump out and oppose it, because if these academies are to be built, they must first pass their pass. They can imagine how difficult it will be.
