The elders are like this, but they have made it clear that they want to support Liu Yuan and develop in Youzhou. The reason for this is that in this troubled world, for the sake of the sect's safety, it is necessary to serve one party's forces, the so-called good shade under the big tree, with security guarantees, can continue to develop and grow, and Liu Yuan meets this condition regardless of his personal charm or the forces under his command, and there is no one in the world who is stronger, better and more suitable than him!

Of the two, Liu Yuan's idea of equal treatment and a hundred schools of thought contended attracted them. In the past, the regime has not only taken one or two schools of thought to govern the country, and the rest were all deposed, but Liu Yuan broke this convention, which surprised them and made them very curious, wanting to see what Liu Yuan could do.

Third, because Liu Yuan has certain conditions, a sect pins a hope on him. In other words, there is one thing that can only be completed with the help of Liu Yuan. In fact, it is the secret that Cai Yong said. Of course, Liu Yuan didn't know now, but he had already remembered it in his heart, and he was trying to find the best time to ask Cai Yong.

"It's here!"

While a few people were talking, they arrived at the gate of the academy. Liu Yuan pointed to the few people under the gate of the academy that were all built of bluestone, and said with a smile: "It's Zheng Gong and them." ”

A few people looked at it, it was Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Mo Zheng, Hua Tuo, and Zou Yan and Zou Xun!

"Zheng Gong, Father-in-law"

Walking forward, everyone greeted each other and went to the inside of the academy.

At this time, it is the time of class at the academy.

Walking through the garden path, the winding path leads to the secluded, walking through the Confucian Academy, the Academy of Sciences, the Medical College and the Martial Arts Academy, the elders looked at the students who were either sitting in the classroom reading and practicing calligraphy, or in outdoor experiments and verifications, or practicing martial arts on the field, and couldn't help but admire again and again.

"This teaching mode makes the old man refreshing!" Zhu Lao said: "Compared with the education method of today's private school colleges, it looks more organized, and the results are better!" ”

The entire Youzhou Academy covers an area of 1,000 acres, and Liu Yuan led everyone to tour around, it was already the end of the hour, and it was almost noon.

So I went to the college cafeteria and had lunch in the college. After the meal, Liu Yuan and a group of sect leaders came to Zheng Xuan's dean's office.

There is a large round table in the room, Liu Yuan sits in the north, and everyone sits around in turn.

"This king created Youzhou Academy before, and now with you joining, it can be regarded as complete. So Ben Wang decided to reorganize the college. Liu Yuan glanced at it, and seeing that Zheng Xuan and the others all had unchanged expressions, he nodded secretly and continued: "From now on, Youzhou Academy will be divided into two colleges. ”

They looked at each other and continued to listen.

"The outer courtyard is still called Youzhou College, and the inner courtyard is named the Research Institute."

"The Outer House is still responsible for travel education; The scientific research institute focuses on research to create a higher and newer field! ”

"The scientific research institute is divided into several parts: the department, the staff department, the science and technology department, the law department, the agriculture and animal husbandry department, the medical department, the astronomy and geography department, and the social art department. They are respectively occupied by Confucianism, soldiers, Mohists, legalists, peasants, doctors, yin and yang, and novelists. ”

"The scientific research institute has a president, three vice presidents, and a minister in charge of each department."

"For the position of president of the scientific research institute, this king proposed that Zheng Gong should serve as the vice president, and the vice presidents should be Tong Lao, Ma Lao and Mo Lao. The position of the minister of each ministry is held by Cai Weng, the father-in-law of the king, and the other ministries are held by the suzerains or nominees of the suzerains. ”

"The president and the minister are directly responsible to the king, and the president and vice president are of the same rank, which is more than five thousand stones; The ministers are the same as the two products, more than 3,000 stones, and have the right to see the king at any time, and the annual salary is issued by the political axe. ”

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he asked, "Do you have any other opinions or suggestions, you may wish to say them and discuss them." ”

Zheng Xuan frowned, and said first: "Why divide the inner and outer courtyards, the old man is a little puzzled?" ”

"Oh, presumably you are the same, in this case, this king will analyze it carefully." Liu Yuan said with a smile: "First of all, the responsibilities of the inner and outer courts are different, the outer court is only responsible for education, while the inner court is responsible for in-depth research. For example, Mo Lao presided over the Ministry of Science and Technology, vigorously researched all kinds of machinery, and made better, more practical, more economical, and more meaningful machinery or mechanisms. For example, the Mo family's trap bird, has Mo Lao ever thought about making a huge trap bird one day and being able to carry people into the sky? ! ”

"Huh!?"

Mo Attack screamed in surprise, and suddenly fell into deep thought. The rest of the people were even more shocked by Liu Yuan's words. The sky has always been the domain of birds, and if a machine can be used to send humans to the sky, it will be of epoch-making significance! It's chilling to think about. If there really is such a flying mechanism, wouldn't war, transportation, and so on become much easier?

The so-called benefit is also in the future!

"Another example is a farmer." Liu Yuanjian aroused great interest among the elders, laughed in his heart, and continued: "Since Shennong discovered the five grains for the benefit of mankind, until now, the output of grain crops such as millet, millet, and millet has undergone several major jumps. But what is the reason for the increase in their production? Is it possible to use this law to increase the current grain production dramatically!? How good would it be if one day a farmer invented a seed that yielded 30 or 40 stone or even more per mu? No one will starve to death then! ”

Zheng Xuan and the others widened their eyes, straight was impossible, and their faces were full of disbelief.

There is only Kihara, and his face is full of energy.

"I don't want the prince to have such attainments in the field of agriculture, the old man can't admire it!" Kihara sighed: "My farmer has always been committed to the research and development of agriculture and animal husbandry, and has a deep research on seed optimization, farming technology, agricultural tool research and water conservancy. Kihara sighed again and again.

"Impossible, right?" Tong Yuan's face was full of doubts: "If the yield per mu really reaches thirty or forty stones, then"

"How could it be?" Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Tong Lao doesn't know, the average grain yield per mu in Youzhou has exceeded twenty stones!" Liu Yuan stretched out two fingers and solemnly gestured: "In this way, I have laid the foundation for my Youzhou to fight many times in ten years, but it will not affect the people's livelihood!" ”

"I see!" All the old clubs sighed, and Ma Chong said: "It's the first time for the old man to come to Youzhou. Before, the old man thought that the prince had fought repeatedly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to handle the power of a country, and he thought that Youzhou was now poor. Now after listening to the words of the prince, I know that this is the case! ”

"Hehe," Hua Tuo rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "What about the doctor?" ”

"This king said a long time ago that the fields of study of various sects are indispensable elements in this world! Doctors should also do the same! Liu Yuan said: "Everyone knows that doctors treat diseases and save people, this is the gist. And the essence of medicine and its development direction are also here. The popularization and innovation of medical skills are directly related to the development of society. For example, the survival rate of babies, every year a large number of babies born will lose their lives due to one disease or another, and babies are the future of a country and a nation! Another example is the treatment of external injuries, our army fights, the soldiers throw their heads and spill blood, and many people are injured. In many cases, because of the improper handling of external injuries, the soldiers who had hoped to survive did not have a chance to meet the victory, and the war that had the hope of victory was lost, so it can be said that medical skills are also a necessary factor in determining the victory of a war. ”

"There are also the study of incurable diseases, the containment of plagues, etc., etc., all of which are inseparable from medical skills! So, Hua Lao, you doctors have a long way to go! ”

After everyone heard this, they all sighed. In ancient times, the most important factors influencing population growth were the low growth rate of infants and the effects of wars and plagues. And the doctor was created for this.

"In the past, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and died without regrets. The king hopes that the doctors will inherit this spirit, carry forward the medical skills, and contribute to the people and society. ”

Hua Tuo's face was full of seriousness: "Don't worry, my doctor has never forgotten the spirit of Shennong to taste a hundred herbs!" ”

Liu Yuan nodded, and said, "Let's talk about Confucianism again." Why can Confucianism be respected in this world? This king thinks that it is not only because of the needs of the emperor, but more importantly, because Confucianism has inherited the spirit of the sages and ancestors! This king can say without hesitation that Confucianism is the spiritual core of my Chinese nation! ”

"Just like what this king said: Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations! Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith represent the most beautiful and righteous traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and are everyone's spiritual sustenance. This is the true Confucian spirit! ”

"Confucianism plays the role of connecting the past and the future. It inherits the spirit and cultural achievements of our ancestors, inherits and carries forward this treasure, so that our descendants will always remember how our ancestors pioneered and innovated in the midst of hardships and hardships in that distant era! What a great fortune our ancestors left us! ”

"We can go without food, without clothing, without shelter! But we can't do without the persistence and belief in our hearts! We will never forget that we are Chinese! There is a great etiquette, so it is called summer, and the beauty of Huazhang is called Hua! ”

"Inheriting the culture of China, inheriting the spirit of our ancestors, carrying it forward, pioneering and innovating, this is the duty of Confucianism!"

Liu Yuan said, tears flowed out. In the hazy tears, he seemed to see that in that ancient period, the ancestors worked hard for future generations! It seems to see the three emperors and five emperors overcoming obstacles and leading China; It was as if I saw the first saint Confucius giving a lecture at the opening altar

Zheng Xuan heard the old tears!

This is the truth he has been looking for!

This is the true essence of Confucianism!

Tong Yuan, Ma Chong and others were shocked!

No wonder Confucianism will always press them, it turns out that the reason is this!

"The first saint Confucius is worthy of the title of a saint! We admire it deeply! Tong Yuan and the others said solemnly. It is no wonder that only Confucius, the founder of various schools, is revered as a saint, and now that I think about it, only he can be qualified to be called a saint!
