(Second update.) I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a family reunion www.biquge.info. ）

Regarding the establishment of the academy, Li Congjing has had this plan for a long time, but the academy is not as large as the Yanwu Academy, the individual is too large, the content is too complex, the project is vast, and it is much more difficult to establish. Again, the establishment of the academy requires corresponding social conditions, and it is not possible to set up a team by pulling out a group of generals and soldiers from the army, and Li Congjing does not want to spoil the existence of the academy, so he has never really started.

The so-called college, that is, the university.

The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection.

The university integrates teaching and scientific research, and everything that exists in the world is the object of university research and teaching. In the present, of course, the college cannot be compared with the universities of later generations, but Confucianism and Baigong should be the teaching content. The students of the college must become effective leaders of the new policy in political affairs, and they must be able to promote the development of industry, agriculture, commerce, medicine, and even soldiers and the army.

Li Congjing proposed to build the college at this time, which was still a little early in terms of time. But the implementation of the new policy and the reduction of the feudal domain was too fast, and he was afraid that the imperial court and local officials would not be able to meet the demand, and he was about to enter the East Palace to become the crown prince, as long as he had the support of Li Siyuan, he could barely be regarded as capable of doing this.

"What is the difference between the academy and Taixue?" After listening to Li Congjing's preliminary exposition of the college's viewpoint, Li Siyuan asked, "What kind of students should be recruited to build the college, what kind of knowledge should be taught, and what should be done after completing the study?" ”

The last three questions can be called the classic three questions of running a school.

Li Congjing said: "Taixue teaches more Confucianism, and the college has no intention of replacing the status of Taixue, so it focuses on teaching other 'miscellaneous studies'. In today's imperial court, most of the scholars are based on Confucianism, although there are also current affairs, Ming classics, arithmetic, and law, but the strength is still not enough, and the selected scholars are not enough. Taking the six departments of the imperial court as an example, officials, households, rituals, soldiers, criminals, and workers each have their own affairs, but after the scholar high school, no matter which one he enters, there are not many that can be reused, and most of them do not know much about the details of the affairs of the six departments, let alone be proficient in one, and they need to learn it all over again, and then after several years of experience, they can be independent. ”

"This is the case with the six departments of the imperial court, and the same is true for the six local Cao. Taking the household ministry as an example, the officials of the household ministry do not know how to reasonably increase state taxes, do not know how to improve their finances by pinpointing the disadvantages of the times, and still less do they know the depth of such things as water transportation, tuntian, salt, iron, and coins. From time to time, there are good ministers and famous ministers, if they can go through several ministries and spend decades, it is possible to improve the national economy and people's livelihood in the rear. Rao is like this, and the method he practices is only to follow the old system, and it is rare to be able to modify it slightly, let alone improve it. It is because if there is any maladministration in the world, the court often has to bear the harm for decades, and it is difficult for the court to wait for the accumulated malpractice, and then there can be countermeasures, and it may not be dealt with properly. ”

"And the so-called good ministers and famous ministers, how rare is it? Character, talent, and opportunity are all indispensable. And to make it work, improve the disadvantages of the times, it is more necessary for the monarch to trust, and what is more difficult is that the monarch needs to trust for a long time. Because of this, if there is a hidden government in the world, it will become a malpractice, and it will not be in the world of Zhongxing, and it will be difficult to get rid of the disease. And how rare is the world of ZTE? Even if there is, it is difficult to get rid of the disadvantages of the times. At this time, even if the country has a clear lord and the court has good ministers, but there is no heart to save the world, and there is no way to save the world, how can the society be completely cured? Throughout the annals of history, as soon as the maladministration of the imperial court came out, the disadvantages were accumulating day by day, and when there was no cure, it was also the time when the people were struggling to make a living, and the world was in chaos, so they simply broke all the bottles and cans, overturned the country, and then re-established the order in accordance with the law of the 'sages'. Repeatedly, repeatedly, and so on. History is not always similar, it just repeats itself. ”

Li Siyuan looked thoughtful, Li Congrong, Li Congrong was in the thick clouds, and Li Congjing drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

He continued: "There are thousands of clues for the imperial court to govern the world, and among these countless clues, there must be countless officials, who are proficient in each clue, and then they can discover and study countermeasures in time when they are sick. The prime minister and the important ministers will have to know the affairs of the six ministries, the affairs outside the six ministries, and the affairs of the world, and then they can assist the king to lead the overall situation, support the community, and implement the great politics in the world. In this way, the whole country will not be absurd and harmful. ”

"Jinxing College is for those who are good at medicine to heal people, those who are good at officials to govern officials, those who are good at etiquette are in charge of etiquette, those who are good at work are good at work, those who are good at wealth management are good at financial management, those who are good at soldiers are good at governing the army, those who are good at punishment are in charge of the law, and those who are good at scholars are good at learning. All industries in the world, each in its place, the world's talents, each showing its ability. If there is a person who is gifted and intelligent, and is good at counting, he is an official; If there is a proud son of the sky, who can do a good job, he will be a public assistant. If so, the emperor is in the temple, and he has the world in his chest, and the world is governed! If the emperor is virtuous and capable, and he is famous and ministered, then the world is prosperous! ”

After Li Congjing finished speaking, he also answered Li Siyuan's three previous questions about the college, and answered them in another way more thoroughly and comprehensively.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that Li Siyuan was still pondering, Li Congjing smiled and said: "Of course, governing the world is not just by the academy, and if there are diseases in the world, it is not all because of maladministration, this is from the perspective of the academy." ”

Li Siyuan came back to his senses from deep thought, and breathed a sigh of relief, "To be able to get such an academy, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, why can't you worry about it again?" At that time, the prosperity is not present, and now it will be brilliant, more dazzling than Zhenguan and Kaiyuan! ”

Li Congjing nodded, "In the long run, you can expect that." At present, the students cultivated by the college can also make the new policy better implemented. ”

Li Siyuan looked at Li Congjing strangely, "I don't know how long your head is, and you can come up with so many things." ”

Li Congjing smiled and said: "It's not what Er'er thinks alone, Mo Li and the others all have suggestions together." ”

Li Siyuan nodded, only then did he feel reasonable, and then said: "I think it is feasible to build an academy." But according to what you just said, it's not something that can be done well with a small pen. Not to mention building a college building, there are many disciplines in the college, and you must first consider where the gentleman came from. In order to meet the expectations of the imperial court, these gentlemen must not be indiscriminate, but must be knowledgeable or proficient in their professions. The world has been in turmoil for a long time, whether it is in the court or outside the court, it is not easy to find such a gentleman; Secondly, the students recruited by the academy must also be the elite among the scholars, and how to make these scholars put down the classics they have studied for many years, give up the so-called right path of tribute and dedication, and devote themselves to the academy to learn what they see as 'miscellaneous studies', is not a simple matter. ”

"Again, with a teacher and a student, how to teach this subject is also a big question, where do the classics come from? How to arrange the scale and depth of study? And since he is a pragmatic person, he must not die studying, and he must have the opportunity to experience from time to time, how can this be arranged? Fourth, after the construction of the college, it will inevitably have an impact on Taixue, the tribute scholars, and the tribute system, how to coordinate the relationship between the two, and how to divide the boundaries between the two? If it is not handled well, it is not that I am alarmist, and if the scholars are chaotic, the world will be chaotic, which is not a trivial matter. Fifth ......"

Li Siyuan recounted many key issues in a row, all of which were 'matching' affairs with the construction of the college, and the other party's detailed and in-depth discussion made Li Congjing feel embarrassed when he heard it.

Li Congjing's intention to build the academy has been for a long time, so he can have all kinds of plans, Li Siyuan just heard the news, and it is not easy to think about the problem so comprehensively after a little consideration.

However, Li Congjing was quite well prepared, he said: "There are many famous Confucian officials in the DPRK and China, such as Li Gong, Feng Gong, and some may not have been famous before, and they have to be excavated. Moreover, most Confucian scholars were willing to teach and educate people. ”

"In addition to those who are officials in the court, there are also some officials who can also be invited, they are already officials in the court, and they will have some foundation for the affairs of the six ministries, the court is like this, and the state and county are also like this. In addition, in the world of great disputes, there will be many great talents who will break away from the disputes and hide in the mountains and forests. Let them plunge into the torrent of great contention, maybe they don't want to, but let them come to study, probably won't refuse too much. In this way, the imperial court, states and counties, many recommendations, visits, and even three visits to the thatched house are all necessary, and in time, Mr. will also have it. ”

"With Mr., the books are easy to compile, and there is great power in numbers, as long as you lead them properly, the first batch of books will not be too difficult. In addition, there are many classics of hundreds of crafts, and there are many folk classics, and those left by predecessors can be collected in many ways. ”

"As for students, it's not difficult to recruit. As long as the imperial court is attractive to the placement plan of students after they have completed their studies, there will be no shortage of students to enroll. The tribute is for officials, and since you can also be an official when you enter the academy, the latter is even easier, how can students not be happy? If the situation is not good, the first few batches of students can accept more children from poor families, and they can also let the young talents of the official eunuch family enroll in school and set an example. ”

Li Congjing breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "As for the opportunity for training, you can make the six departments and the offices of Luoyang, and the officials of nearby states and counties set up training departments and posts, and you can also treat them as 'apprentices'. If the situation is good, all the places in the river will be obtained. According to Er's meaning, the so-called experience is better to start from a lower starting point, and it is best to go to construction sites, fields, markets, hospitals, mines, river barns and other places to ......."

"The relationship with Taixue and Gongju is still clearly divided, and the two do not belong to each other and do not interfere with each other. At the beginning stage, the starting point of the college students can be lower, but the road to promotion must be smooth. Officials and officials, when the world officials and officials are clearly distinguished, officials, can not be officials for the rest of their lives, it is better to break these boundaries and restore the system of the merger of officials in the Han Dynasty......"

After saying this, Li Congjing couldn't help twisting his sore neck, and finally said: "The initial stage is about three years, this is the time to start a career, everything is blank, you need to write on white paper, it may be messy, but as long as you spend these three years, the road behind will be much easier." The construction of the college cannot be accomplished overnight, and the huge project must be carried out gradually, and the college is a new thing, and there is no old thing to learn from, so we can only cross the river by feeling the stones. However, there is no need to worry about the college running badly, as long as the charter is determined, you are sure that it will not be deviated. ”

Li Siyuan kept nodding while listening, and after Li Congjing finished speaking, he stroked his beard and said: "I think this matter is feasible, you go back and draw up a detailed outline, write your plan more comprehensively, and after I have read it carefully, you and I will discuss it with the prime ministers together." ”

Li Congjing naturally agreed.
