Chapter 396: Study
"Your Majesty, Lord Situ asks to see ......" Zhao Gao's voice sounded in Yingzheng's ears. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Pass it on!" Ying Zheng put down the brush in his hand and said with a sigh of relief.
"Whoa!"
After this assassination of Mount Tai when he sealed Zen, as well as the rebellion that has not been quelled for more than a month, the government affairs of various places are flying like snowflakes.
The rewards of meritorious soldiers, the pacification of the people, and the disposition of rebels continued one after another.
Similarly, taking advantage of this purge of peasant forces, assimilation in the name of indoctrination was also put on the agenda.
"Minister, meet Your Majesty!"
After serving as the imperial Situ, Xun also put down the shelf slightly, and the courtesy of the monarch and the minister he should have was also extremely thoughtful.
"Throne!" Ying Zheng first waved his hand at Zhao Gao, and then continued: "Recently, there has been a small chaos in the empire, and I have to be distracted, but it has made Situ wait for a long time. ”
"Your Majesty has the heart to teach the world, how dare the minister complain?" Xun Kuang arched his hand and said.
"Situ can understand my painstaking efforts." Ying Zheng nodded, and then asked: "I don't know what Situ thinks, how to take this first step in the world's education?" ”
Xun Guo glanced up at Ying Zheng, and on his face, which had always been strong, a slight smile appeared.
"The minister is a Confucian person, and all he learns is Confucianism. Confucianism, naturally, is the strongest in Qi County and Langya County. If His Majesty permits, the minister intends to carry out indoctrination in these two counties first. ”
Ying Zheng looked at Xun Zheng, and couldn't help but have a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
The rebellion in Qi County has just been quelled, although the common people also hate the rebellion, but Ying Zheng killed so many people, once someone takes advantage of this matter again in the future, it will inevitably be unfavorable to Ying Zheng.
The so-called equal emphasis on grace and power, 30,000 Jingguan, has shaped enough regal authority for Yingzheng. And now, it is also Yingzheng who has given some more kindness.
Sticks and dates, simple and crude, but absolutely tried and tested.
Xun is also a celebrity who has been famous for decades, how can he not see Yingzheng's thoughts.
"I have the same intention!"
"I don't know what Your Majesty thinks this education should do?" Xun Kuang narrowed his eyes and asked.
Since Yingzheng and the idea of appeasing the people of Qi County in the name of religion, it is obvious that above the system, Xun will not have any chance to intervene.
"I plan to set up a county school in each county, and under the county, each county will set up another county school and a number of township schools. Situ thinks that this can be used for edification? ”
"Nature." Xun Jing nodded at first, but then asked again: "Your Majesty has great ambitions, however, the money spent on doing so must be huge. Although Qi County is rich, it may not be enough to bear this big burden. ”
Ying Zheng's plan was very big, and it sounded very tempting, and even Xun Zheng's original idea was just to set up a school in each county. However, it seems a little less pragmatic.
"Situ rest assured, with the financial resources of the empire, there are only a few township schools, and there is not much wealth." Ying Zheng waved his hand, and didn't seem to take these to heart.
Xun Jing frowned, and a trace of dissatisfaction gradually appeared in his eyes. Ying Zheng's attitude made him feel as if he had been deceived.
"Your Majesty, the so-called village school is just a few houses. It's naturally easy to build, but what about students? Your Majesty has set up so many township schools, how can you ensure that there are students and teachers in the township schools? ”
Xun Jing's tone was slightly unkind, and it was obvious that his stubborn character had come up again.
However, Ying Zheng didn't care about the anger in Xun Zheng's words at all, but continued: "What Situ said is reasonable. It is not easy to feed a child in a common people's home, and it may cost more to provide them with education. Therefore, I intend to use the financial resources of the empire to fund his enrollment. ”
Xun Jing's brows were still tightly locked, although he didn't believe that a person with a character like Yingzheng would break his word. But if it is really according to Yingzheng's words, I am afraid that it will only take a few years, and it will be enough to drag down the entire empire.
However, while Xun was pondering, Ying Zheng continued: "Of course, in a county, there are no less than 100,000 children, and the empire cannot supply all the children. ”
Hearing this, Xun Jing's eyes suddenly stared at Ying Zheng's face, ignoring the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, waiting for Ying Zheng's next words.
"After the township school is completed, the children of Qi County who participated in the counterinsurgency this time can be given priority to enroll. The empire not only provided food and clothing, but also gave one Qin and a half taels every month. ”
In this era, literacy alone can be regarded as a noble status, and knowledge is power, wealth, and in this era, it is obviously most fully explained.
In addition, knowledge is generally in the hands of the big families and the hundreds of families, and they disdain to be with the common people, so even the soldiers who have military achievements in the pass rarely have the opportunity to read and read.
What's more, it costs one and a half taels every month, although it is not much, but for the child, it is enough to compensate for the original loss.
"Presumably, those who will join the army in the future will definitely flock to it......" Xun Jing sighed lightly and said.
"No, Situ was wrong." The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth showed a slight smile, and said: "In the future, there will not be many soldiers in the empire, only more refined!" ”
Xun Jing nodded noncommittally, although there was a gap with the education he imagined at the beginning, but, in the final analysis, it was acceptable.
"Township school can be provided for each student for three years, and after three years, the township examination will be implemented, and the top five in each township will enter the county school. In this way, there will be a county exam three years later. In addition to the problem of the source of students, Ying Zheng continued to talk about the county school and the promotion system of the county school.
"Township exams? County exam? Xun was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some confusion. In today's era, there is no such thing as a school exam.
In the previous understanding of Xun situation, township learning, county learning, and county learning are only different from the three places of township, county and county, but now it seems that this is indeed not the case.
"The learning of a township teaches people to read. The learning of a county teaches people wisely. The study of a county teaches people to govern the country. The more Ying Zheng spoke, the more cold his eyes became, "From now on, they will be the pillars of the empire!" ”
Xun Guo looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief, Ying Zheng's previous words were already obvious, obviously planning to appoint these students as officials.
Although these students may be able to take on great responsibilities, these students, in the final analysis, are all from the common people, and if they are really officials in the future, I am afraid that they will touch the fundamental interests of the family.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this can't be ......"
Xun Jinggang wanted to dissuade him, but he was stopped by Yingzheng.
"I, I know what you're trying to say, and I'm not stupid enough to destroy the Imperial Pillar." Ying Zheng looked at Xun Jing, with an unprecedented seriousness in his eyes.
"I will not cancel the system of military merit. As long as the system of military merit exists, the foundation of the empire is these families with lords. I don't want to overthrow these families, but I want to replace the old ones with new ones.
I don't want the Qin State in the future to have any more people like the old Qin lineage and the Chu lineage! ”
Xun Jing lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart, but said in a hoarse voice: "Chen, I understand." ”
The most fundamental reason why the former Caidong Department has become the arm of Yingzheng and prospered so far is that all their power comes from Yingzheng, and they can only stand on Yingzheng's side, because they have no background.
Perhaps, it is extremely difficult for the top families to shake it, but if it is only a small and medium-sized family, it is much simpler.
Ying political science has spent so much money and manpower, and has put so much effort into it. The most important thing is to create a confrontation between the emerging forces and the old ones, so as to prevent the family from becoming bigger and become a vicious insect that does not want to make progress and only relies on the afterglow of its ancestors, but lies on the backbone of the empire and continuously absorbs the blood of the empire.
