Chapter VII Development Planning
People, in what position you do, you have to think about what problems. When he was still in Wuyuan, Gao Ye was able to establish a private school to teach the little ghosts around him. Later, when he came to Yingchuan, he got the support of the Xun family, which allowed him to teach the knowledge he brought to the later generations to the students of the academy. The current Gao Ye Guanju Situ is in charge of the education of the world, and his thoughts and worries are naturally not limited to how to spread the knowledge of later generations to the world. It is more important to consider how to make the people of this era able to read and read.
Gao Ye's ideal is also the ideal of Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan, and the merits of educating the people are enough to make these two people who are obsessed with learning tempted. A gentleman stands up, speaks, makes meritorious contributions, and establishes morality, so as to reach the road to heaven. Which of the famous Confucians in the academy today is not a person who is innocent and famous? Now that the popularity of paper and the advent of the printing press, which of these people has not left a few books? If it can be as Gao Ye said, so that there are no people in the world who do not know poetry and books, under the immeasurable merits, the name will be preserved in history, and it is not surprising that the eternal fragrance will be extended.
This temptation is too great, even people like Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan, and Hu Zhao can't resist it. After the three of them discussed the part of the High Night book about indoctrination, combined with the education system they had told them a few days before the High Night, the three of them were now full of passion. Don't look at Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong are both old people in their seventies, but with this enthusiasm, Gao Ye feels that they are younger than himself.
In fact, it's not surprising to think about it, these people teach in the academy, as long as they don't threaten Cao Cao's status and rule, Cao Cao is happy to see what they want to do. After all, the academy is good, and there are more talents to teach, which is also a good thing for Cao Cao. After all, he is the nominal dean of the academy, and he will show his face in the academy from time to time, and it is not surprising that the students of the academy are naturally close to him. What's more, when these students came to his Cao Cao's account, Cao Cao, the prince of heaven and earth, could occupy two, what a good way to buy people's hearts.
Therefore, as soon as the matter of taking materials for the exam was confirmed, Mr. Zheng Xuan, who was the largest in the grade of the whole college, immediately made a decision to organize a big exam next year. Zheng Xuan, who has always been as light as water, even set the date in March this time. Gao Ye said a lot of things, which persuaded the anxious old man Zheng, after all, this exam may be just an attempt for the academy, but for Gao Ye, the articles that can be done here are bigger!
In his position, he wants to seek his own government, and now Gao Yeguan lives in Situ, but he is also Cao Cao's subordinate. How to help Cao Cao unify the world as soon as possible is also a problem he needs to think about. Although Cao Cao in history did not have himself, he also laid the feat of the princes of Cao Wei Jiuhe, but in this life, if he can't leave something and change something, is it worth going through it?
Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong and others have begun to actively devote themselves to the great cause of producing test papers, although the exam time has not yet been decided, but this cannot stop their hearts at all. Seeing that these two old men had forgotten to sleep and eat, Gao Ye no longer dared to slack off, leaving only a group of female dependents to continue to rest in the academy, and he himself took Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to rush back to Yingdu with the wind. Gao Ye felt that if he didn't set the time for the big exam quickly, the body of the two old men would definitely not be able to bear it! Besides, there is still a lot of preparation work to be done in the early stage, and having a timetable can also allow everyone in the academy to better prepare.
However, it is obvious that Cao Cao in Sikong Mansion is a little inexplicable about the exam. It's not that he has any objections to the exam, but the main thing is that this matter is too small, so small that Cao Cao feels that there is no need to ask him for advice. But now that the high night is coming in a hurry, just to tell himself such a thing, how can Cao Cao not be strange? His current power is better than day by day, his territory is bigger day by day, and there are more and more things to deal with day by day, if he doesn't ask to see him at night, how can he be in the mood to listen to such things.
Seeing Cao Cao looking at him with a strange face, what could Gao Ye say? Cao Cao has been very busy lately, and there are countless things to deal with after the end of the war. It's just that the academy has to organize exams, and this kind of thing doesn't seem to be an important thing compared to all kinds of military affairs. He Cao Cao has a lot of opportunities, and how could he have thought carefully about the meaning of this big test, so with such a reaction now, Gao Ye doesn't feel unusual.
Therefore, Gao Ye, who was sitting on the side, said directly: "Lord, don't underestimate this exam, if it's a trivial matter, do you think I will take the vacation and rush here from the academy in a hurry?" Saying that, he took a sip of tea, and continued to meet Cao Cao's inquiring gaze: "You must know that although the academy is now famous all over the world, eighty percent of the students in the academy are children of families and poor families, and less than twenty percent are children of ordinary people and sergeants. On the one hand, it is true that the family has a deep heritage, but on the other hand, it is also because if you want to enter the academy now, the only way is to recommend and self-recommend. In this way, in thirty or fifty years, do you think there will still be children of ordinary people in the academy? Now that my father-in-law is in charge of the academy, he treats everyone equally, but what about the future? After all, we established the academy to break the academic monopoly of the family and get rid of the shackles of the family! ”
Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Yes, if it is replaced by the fact that you can only enter the academy if you pass the exam, it will be fair to the people of the world." As long as you are talented, you can go to the academy, so that as long as the children of the common people enter the academy, they will be grateful to the academy! So you mean to completely determine the system of passing the examination to enter the academy this time, with the reputation of Bo Jiao Gong and Kang Cheng Gong, and the time when you and I are still in charge of the academy in the future? ”
"Yes, there are almost only children of the family in the academy today, and it can be said that it is a monopoly. Only by allowing the children of the common people to have the opportunity to enter the academy, and only by letting these people and the children of the family really be evenly matched, can you truly get rid of the family. It is said that it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, but after all, the poor family still has some background, either it is developing, or the family wants to make a comeback. But the largest number of people at the bottom hardly have any room to turn over. Nowadays, Yan, Henan, Qing, and Xu are building schools in order to give them a chance to study. As long as we can do a good job in basic education and let more and more people enter the academy to study, there will be a shortage of talents, and what is the family afraid of! You say, can this be a small thing? ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded even more cautiously, as if he was talking to Gao Ye, and as if he was talking to himself: "Not bad, yes, with the strength of you and me, we can still be equal against the family." But how can we fight against the family as well as find them an opponent and watch them fight each other? When he said this, he smiled, but then his brows furrowed and said: "But if it is implemented directly, I am afraid that the family will rebound." Smart people are not only you and me, although they are defeated at the beginning, they still exist in their bones, and they must not be chaotic inside! ”
Gao Ye smiled and said, "At this point, it doesn't hurt. Don't look at our education for so many years, but what is taught in the primary school is basic, can read words, and can memorize what "Analects" and "Mencius" can be regarded as graduation. The common people's families are already busy with farm work, and when a war starts, they have to be forced to serve and conscript people's husbands, and as long as the children of ordinary families are not particularly talented, as soon as they graduate from school, they will either join the army or farm. We really want more and more people to enter Yingchuan Academy, and there is still a long way to go. There is time to change the status quo slowly. Nowadays, in the academy, there are many students who have been inserted by officials at all levels, and their knowledge is not high, Kang Chenggong and my father-in-law used this reason to apply for the examination and recruit talents, who can say what? Those children of the family have always looked down on the poor and the people, it doesn't matter, this year, out of 200 people, 20 children of the people are admitted, I don't think anyone will find it strange. So who would be surprised to admit 200 children of the common people in ten years? Otherwise, in less than twenty years, even if the family wants to suppress these people, there is nothing they can do! ”
"Well, yes, if there is a sudden change, the earth will definitely shake. It is indeed a good strategy to plan it slowly in this way. Since you have to take the exam, let's prepare well. In the first big exam, there are still many things to explore in all aspects, and we must do it decently, only in this way can we block the mouth of others, especially the family, and make the examination a natural system of the academy. By the way, when are you going to hold the big exam? ”
"Kang Chenggong originally wanted to take the exam in March, but I stopped him, and I thought it would be better to wait until August next year and autumn to take the exam."
"Well, it's good to have more time to prepare, but in August, when the autumn harvest is busy, wouldn't it be a little out of place?"
Gao Ye smiled and said, "The reason why I am delaying is that there are still some small calculations." Lord, you think, now that Yingchuan Academy is famous all over the world, who doesn't want to come? We will now send the news of the college entrance examination to all states and counties, and bluntly say that as long as you pass the examination, you can study, do you think how many young talents will come to hear the news? ”
Cao Cao immediately laughed when he heard this, pointed at Gao Ye and said, "You, you can still make so many twists and turns in one exam!" But it's good, let these talents all study in the academy, and when they graduate in the future, they will be just right to be used by me! All the talents in the world have come to Yingchuan, and the pacification of the princes is just around the corner! ”
"Not only that, but I think you can also ask Your Majesty to make a decree that all states and counties should start to implement compulsory education, so that people of appropriate age can have books to read. We have papermaking, printing, and the commercial income of Zizhong and Zifang every year, which can support such a huge expenditure. Those princes received the holy decree, and they were powerless to do it, and not doing it would not only disobey the will, but also make the hearts of the people under their rule turn to the lord, why don't you do it, lord? ”
"In this way, not only this inconspicuous business is a militaristic weapon, but this school is also a militaristic weapon! Hahahaha! ”
