Chapter 372 [University Hall]
Wei Yan strode forward, walked in front of Wang Xiao, trampled him under his feet, and scolded bitterly: "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 stupid?!
If you don't educate him, you think he's really just blind and waiting for you to be at your mercy?!
Do you think they'll be so supple that they'll be slaughtered by you like sheep?!
Then what do you think is going on with the Yellow Turban remnants all over the land?!
Who is the one who really messes up the world?! ”
Wei Yan usually smiles and grins, and everyone he meets is full of spring breeze, some family heads feel that Wei Yan has no prestige, and they gradually have no original fear of Wei Yan, today they have seen it, once Wei Yan is angry, murderous, filling the entire hall, the four or five hundred people present are all silent, and even the battle-hardened generals are shocked.
Wei Yan felt that he had laughed too much, making these bastards who were afraid of power and not virtuous despise him, from now on, he would still laugh, but he must be powerful where he should be powerful, otherwise the tiger would be treated as a sick cat by these guys if he didn't exert his might, did they forget how they dealt with those rebel families?
Wei Yan 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 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!" Wei Yan's words were like a fart in the officialdom of later generations, but in the last years 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.
Wei Yan felt that the time had come, so he showed a sincere and kind expression: "Today, I, Wei Yan, will tell you the truth, I am from a poor family, my father is only a county lieutenant, my status today is not easy to come by, I also want the Wei family to prosper from generation to generation, and become a great family such as the fourth and third dukes, but I know that we magnates can no longer control the lower class people like 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 heads of those families said, "Please also ask General Wei to show me, what should I do now?" ”
They had experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion and didn't want to go through it a second time, and who knows if they would be as lucky as the first time.
Wei Yan said with a solemn expression: "The previous all-people were all soldiers to organize these grass people into the army and restrain them from the establishment. 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, let them know loyalty and filial piety, know benevolence and righteousness, know respect and humility, know honesty and shame, and we must 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?" ”
Wei Yanxin said, you guessed it, the next step of the national education is 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.
He thought so in his heart, but said on his lips: "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 out to be the county guard or assassin history, and will only be the small officials of 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 Wei Yan'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 lieutenant, the township lieutenant, and the pavilion lieutenant are all in the pocket of my Wei Yan, and you can't grab it.
When the heads of those families saw that Wei Yan had sworn and was not blindly compromising and compromised, they believed it to be true, thinking that Wei Yan had discussed the conditions with their family, and that they would be clearly distinguished, and the well water would not interfere with the river water, and there were fewer and fewer people who opposed Wei Yan's great promotion of official learning.
Wei Yan is a person who loves and hates clearly, if he thinks that person is a friend and not an enemy, he will definitely strictly 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 Wei Yan didn't 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 Wei Yan broke and weakened each of these families, Wei Yan's protégés had accumulated rich experience in grassroots government affairs after years of tempering, and Wei Yan naturally promoted them to important positions in counties and counties, such as county orders, county officials, county guards, and county officials.
After Wei Yan's patient persuasion, the heads of various families successively agreed to the concept of universal education.
Wei Yan was worried that these family figures were still stirring up the wind and rain, so he wrote an agreement in black and white, saying that he would not put his protégé as the county guard and county commander, and would not let his protégé rob the children of the family from their jobs.
Those people from the family agreed, and the basic policy of universal education was formulated.
Official schools are still established in various places, but they are open to the children of the family and the children of the famous Hanshu.
The education system that Wei Yan vigorously implemented was a new way to go beyond the existing government schools.
Wei Yan took the lead in establishing a university hall in Yiyang New Town, called the Central University Hall.
The Central University Hall was supported by Wei Yan's money bag, Yancai Qianzhuang, and was closely protected by the guns of the central system, while the regular army also provided strong martial arts support for the Central University Hall.
In the Central University Hall, there are a teacher college, a military college, a political college, a technical college, a literature and art college, and a women's college.
Why set up a teachers' college?
Wei Yan 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.
