Let the people understand what is a nation and a state? Meng Tianda believes in his heart that this is a very meaningful thing, and it is a more important thing than anything else.

Of course, Feng Zheng also knows the importance of education, but he is not so optimistic about the spread of education in the empire, first of all, transportation is a restriction, and then teachers will definitely be a big problem.

"The education that the emperor said was not what we imagined." Feng Zai's expression was a little strange, as if with an incomprehensible sense of absurdity, and said: "The emperor just wants more people to be literate, not necessarily to teach people what skills to learn, let alone to cultivate elites. ”

That's right, in the past, education was generally one-on-one, and the education of the private school model was at most dozens of people.

One-to-one education is generally used in schools, which is to find talented people, and then carry out a one-to-one elite education model, usually this practice can indeed educate elites, but the cycle will always seem long, and may not really be able to educate how elite people.

The education of private schools is in large families, and they are not open to people who are not related by blood, even if they are related by blood, they must be very close, and some side branches or anything are not eligible for education.

What was the state of education adopted by the Empire? Usually a teacher is responsible for one task, and it is very likely that you will face hundreds or even thousands of people. Then, other teachers are responsible for teaching other knowledge, but the number of students is also exaggerated.

"What is it called grading grades, it is to plan the time and then divide the classes." Meng Tian has learned about this, saying: "This kind of education is very effective, especially only for literacy. Presumably, primary school is used to learn literacy, and secondary school is used to learn some skills. When it comes to secondary school, it is actually a selection stage. At a certain age, it is already possible to distinguish where and where there is talent, and only a small number of people will enter high school. This part of the high school will face a new round of selection, and very few people can enter Taixue. ”

"Too learned?" Feng Zheng didn't know this, he pondered for a while, and asked with confusion: "There are a lot of weird-sounding names, but Taixue is the only one I understand better." ”

The name of Taixue began in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Summer, Shang, Zhou. The name of the university in the Five Emperors period is Chengjun, in the Xia is the Eastern Order, in the Shang is the Right Study, and the University in the Zhou Dynasty is called Shangzhen......

In "The Legend of Da Dai", it is said: "The emperor entered Taixue, and the teacher asked. "Taixue in the Western Zhou Dynasty is also known as the university, and the Son of Heaven and the princes are all set up," the university is in the suburbs. The Son of Heaven said Piyong, and the princes said Pan Palace". However, the palace was not a pure university, it was also like a court, where nobles often worshipped, held banquets, selected samurai, and agreed on battle plans. After winning the battle, he also came here to "sacrifice prisoners" and "make merit". This is because: "There are not many palaces of the ancients, and all the rituals, military rites, learning rites, and the rules of looking forward to qi, governing the calendar, providing for the elderly, practicing shooting, and obeying the virtuous are all in the Ming Hall." And Mingtang, Taimiao, Taixue, and Lingtai are one place. ”

Although there is too much learning in ancient times. However, Mingtang and Taixue are mixed and not distinguished, and various activities such as politics, sacrifices, and learning are all mixed together. Without the professionalism and systematization of feudal education, this can only be said to be the germ of Taixue.

The real history is still in the Western Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che accepted Dong Zhongshu's "Three Strategies for Heaven and Man", and then Dong Zhongshu's "Xingtaixue, Placing the Master, in order to raise the people of the world" suggestion. In fact, Lu Zhe originally wanted to call it "University" directly, but in the end, I don't know if it was a bad taste again, but it turned out to be named Taixue.

Lu Zhe spread out education, and he really didn't think that he could cultivate any earth-shattering demons in the primary stage. He knows better than anyone that demonism does not depend on education at all, but is related to an innate talent.

For a country, the demon with amazing talent in a certain thing is never the main force, the demon is only leading the progress of the times in a certain field, but the country only has the demon is not enough, it also needs a sufficient number of ordinary intellectuals, otherwise even if there is something amazing, it is impossible to survive, after all, what cannot be copied will only be a plaything, and only what can be copied is truly beneficial to the country and the people.

It's not nonsense, just look at the long history of China and you will know that there has never been a shortage of demon-level characters in Chinese history, such as the one who made the armillary sphere, and then the one who made the mechanical bird. They have made sophisticated instruments, but the lack of inheritors, or social factors make them unable to find inheritors, no matter how superb the craftsmanship is, it will only become a part of the dust of history in the end, only the unique products that have survived the masters tell a sad past.

"I've heard a rumor, I don't know if it's true." Feng Zheng's expression seemed to be holding back something, and said: "It is rumored that the emperor does not think that the military strategy of some scribes is called wisdom, and thinks that there are only some ...... in the field of science and technology, so it is called technology, right?" Only achievements in the field of science and technology can be called wisdom, and military strategy is called the art of war. ”

Meng Tian really knew about this matter, and he nodded: "Indeed, Your Majesty believes that wisdom is exerted in the field of science and technology, and strategy is the embodiment of military tactics and strategy. ”

Feng Zaizhen didn't expect to get an answer, he seemed to understand something, and said in a tone of self-talk: "No wonder the emperor has never set up the position of military advisor, and he has been named with a staff officer from the beginning......"

In fact, there is a secret that no one knows, that is, Lu Zhe thinks that the smart people of the Chinese nation are too unprofessional, and smart people should do what smart people should do, such as making achievements in the field of science and technology, instead of sharpening their heads to study things about how to trick people.

In addition, Lu Zhe also felt that all the intelligent people of a nation who specialized in war were actually distorting the development line of the nation, and that it was necessary to "correct" the wrong direction of those intelligent people belonging to the Chinese ethnic group as soon as possible. For example, Brother Pig Liang, the brother, would just study the wooden cow and the flowing horse, and he had nothing to do to study how to set fire to people, which was really a waste of that smart head. There is also a brother named Shen Kuo, how good it is to take the route of scientific development, why should he first get involved in politics, then run to lead the troops, and finally run to frame the number one poet in Asia in the Song Dynasty!

There are so many similar characters that I can't count them all!

The smart people of a nation are all about how to deceive people. It's terrifying to think about, and it's even more terrifying when Confucianism comes to power and regards any scientific and technological progress as a trick. However, it is the real scary thing that the change of dynasty is seen as a normal process, because no matter how advanced the knowledge or technology is accumulated. It is always going to be destroyed by the flames of war again and again.

"Is that so?" After listening to some of Meng Tian's narrations, Feng Zheng was shocked and still very puzzled: "The emperor is not the most fond of war, how can he ...... Will there be a conscious weakening of the study of the way war is fought? ”

"No, it's not weakening, it's going on a different path." Meng Tian had thought about this in detail, but he didn't plan to tell Feng Zheng, firstly, because he was not familiar with this part, and secondly, because the two were not loyal to the same person now, so he changed the topic to other directions.

The emperor never weakened the empire's potential regarding war. The existence of the Taiwei Agency is proof of this. The emperor was encouraging more people to take different paths, but the study of war did not stop, for example, didn't some military schools have special staff courses?

What Meng Tian knew was that the emperor had a new set of army building concepts, that is, to strengthen the imperial army as much as possible, give the most perfect reinforcement materially, and then use strong strength to crush it, and at the same time, it was not without using tactics or strategy. But it is tactics that are used the most, and it is only tactics that battlefield commanders need to understand. Strategy is a deployment at the national level.

Many corps of lieutenant generals are equipped with staff teams under the establishment of the Taiwei Administration, and the Western Expedition Corps also has such a team, and the staff officers are generally deployed by senior generals, and then do things in a general direction in detail...... It is both a tactic for formulating actions.

Qin Fengguo's army does not have a staff team, and it still relies on a few people, so Qin Fengguo's army and the empire's army have become two completely different styles.

"In fact, the only purpose for which the emperor established a military academy was to mass-produce staff officers. It is a group of collaborators who are neither up nor down, but can work together. Meng Tian actually affirmed this policy in his heart, he thought: "Some people are very special, they can use a person's ingenuity to decide the outcome of a battle, but not everyone can do this. The Imperial army followed the path of overwhelming superiority and did not require any risk. In fact. Only if you don't have enough strength you need to take risks, and if you have enough strength, you need to take risks. ”

Couldn't be more correct, isn't it because of their peculiarities that some examples of war are famous? If it is something that is common and can be done by everyone, it loses its value as a role model.

It's like in a society where everyone has love, it's a very common thing to help the old man who has fallen to the ground, but when he lifts the old man and does too much, he will go from driving a big run to riding a bicycle, so suddenly a young man plucks up the courage to help an old man who has fallen to the ground and has not been blackmailed, so it is worth a good report by the major media.

It's very simple! The more impossible or scarce it is, the more valuable it is to write about it, and it is enough to prove how difficult it is to do such a thing, and what is the strength of everyone to do it?

"An example that can't be replicated!" Feng Zheng began to smile bitterly, and he said: "The empire is too strong, and it will continue to be strong, with a population that is difficult for others to match, coupled with immeasurable wealth, it is a failure for such a country...... No, even ten or a hundred times, as long as there is no internal strife, no one will be able to defeat such a country. ”

Feng Zheng couldn't understand some words, he thought to himself: "Actually, it's not impossible to defeat, just the royal family who rules this empire is stupid enough, it should always ruin the country, but it is obvious that the first, second, and third generations of emperors will not have this kind of problem, and if there is a problem, it should be five generations later." ”

Feng Zheng naturally thinks so for a reason, no matter what, many people, including Fusu, were forced to leave their ancestral homes and embark on the path planned by others, to say that they are willing to do so is to deceive themselves, but it is just a choice made in desperation.

Meng Tian didn't have the ability to read minds, so he wouldn't know what Feng Zheng was thinking in his head, he was explaining the current situation in the Western Regions, including the recent tasks of the Western Expeditionary Corps.

The task of the Western Expeditionary Corps is actually relatively simple, they need to consolidate the empire's bridgehead in the Western Regions, and then suppress the rebellion in the northwest of Wusun, in addition to that, even if the northern part of Wusun is attacked by Hujie, Ding Ling and some chaotic tribes, as long as Wusun can withstand it, the Western Expeditionary Corps will not participate in the war in the northern part of Wusun.

"Strange Wusun, who took the initiative to avoid your participation in the war in the north?" Feng Zai felt a little incredible, as if he had seen a group of fools, and asked incomprehensibly, "What is this for?" ”

"It's not a classified thing, either." Meng Tian smiled and said, "They think they can handle it, and they need to get all the spoils after defeating Hujie and Ding Lingren. ”

"Huh?" Feng Zai was stunned for a moment, and asked again: "Why do they think they have the certainty of winning?" The information I got was that the last time the Wusun people parried it was very difficult. ”

"You know that the Wusun people continue to sell horses to the Empire, especially some war horses?" Meng Tian continued only after Feng Zheng nodded: "They used the funds obtained from the sale to buy a batch of ordnance on the imperial side, and armed them to the core of the clan, and now they have nearly 10,000 iron cavalry, maybe not more than 10,000, but it is certain that there are more than 30,000 cavalry equipped with iron weapons. This is the source of their confidence in defeating Hujie and Ding Ling. ”

Feng Zai thought that he still knew how to lead troops, but he was still a little stunned at this moment, digested the information Meng Tian said, and said with a strange face: "Because of the update in equipment, the Wusun people think that they have become stronger?" ”

"It's weird, but that's what most of the nobles of the Wusun Court think." Meng Tian had a funny expression, and he didn't laugh for a while, and suddenly felt that making fun of the partner was a bit inconsistent with the identity of a senior general, but he didn't hold back his serious expression for long, and laughed a few times with "hehe", and then said: "Actually, it is indeed very powerful, after all, the Western Regions are different from us." This place...... How so? Defenses such as metal armor are scarce, and having a thousand iron horsemen in any kingdom is already a very luxurious thing, but the Wusun people now have at least ten thousand iron horses. In addition, you should also know the characteristics of the steppe Hu people, their arrowheads are basically not too penetrating. ”

Feng Zheng was stunned again, but his eyes were a little frighteningly bright, and he said, "It's consistent with the situation in the intelligence, ......" (to be continued.) )
