Chapter 118 Inspecting the Counties

In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since Han Lie took office in Guangling, and after the winter, all industries in Guangling seem to be a little depressed.

On this day, Han Lie attended the opening ceremony of Penglai Academy, accompanied Dr. Zheng Xuan, had a light meal, and talked about some things related to education.

"The origin of education can be traced back to the ancient sages, ancient sages, for the disciples of learning, the first requirement is to establish morality, the second is to establish filial piety, the second is to aspire, and the second is to learn literature. To be honest, Ziyang, you proposed that there is no class in education, I was very repulsed at first, but your sentence that all living beings have the right to education still moved me. ”

"But even so, no virtuous person, no matter how good his studies are, in the end it will not be beneficial to the country, in the past half a year, after my initial teaching, three hundred students with excellent virtue have been selected, as the core disciples, the old man will cultivate with his heart, hoping to cultivate some pillars of talent from it."

"As for those stubborn and stupid students, the old man thinks that the younger ones can study for three years, and the older ones can study for one year, so that they can return home and enrich the labor force.

Faced with these questions raised by Zheng Xuan, Han Lie pondered for a while, and then said: "Zheng Gong can make a decision on this matter, teach and educate people, Zheng Gong is better than me, but the purpose of education is to cultivate people who can serve the country. ”

"No, no, if Ziyang Ru overthrows the inspection system, not only will he violate the laws of the imperial court, but he will also stand on the opposite side of the world's clans, and without the support of the clans, you will not be able to move an inch." Zheng Xuan didn't wait for Han Lie to explain, so he interjected in a discolored voice.

"Zheng Gongxian doesn't need to worry, what I mean is that among the students of the academy, a subject exam will be held regularly, and those with excellent grades can be appointed, rather than facing the entire class and society, such a small range, and the examination of his own family will not have much conflict with the interests of those high-ranking families." Although Han Lie's tone was flat, there was a hint of fierceness flashing in his keen eyes, if such a move could not get the acquiescence of those so-called high-ranking clans, then he wouldn't mind going on a killing spree.

"In this way, it is also feasible, but Xuan still suggests that this period, it is better to choose once every three years, if it is too frequent, the students will not be good at studying, and secondly, it will also touch the sensitive line of those high-ranking families." Zheng Xuan is old in the world, he has already seen Han Lie's determination, and he is not opposed, and at the same time, he also understands in his heart that Han Lie's move is obviously aimed at the family, and now Penglai Academy, although it has just been opened, but Han Lie is determined to open the door of education for all people, as long as this cause continues for a long time, within ten years, at least tens of thousands of students will receive education.

Among them, if there are 3,000 outstanding people, in three years, even if it is a scientific examination within the academy, it will cause a sensation, if it goes on like this, it will undoubtedly form a practice, and the monopoly system of the family will undoubtedly become more and more unpopular.

"Yes, but although it is still early to come to the three-year period, I hope that Zheng Gong can work harder and prepare some subjects for the scientific examination first, mainly about some issues such as people's livelihood development, code accidents and so on." Han Lie's call this is to take precautions, the scientific examination system, although he can't implement it now, and he doesn't have the right to implement it, but ten or twenty years, or even longer, as long as he is alive, Han Lie will be committed to improving this system.

The rise and fall of dynasties, most of which depend on the absolutization of rights, the collapse of morality and etiquette, and the culprit of all this is the lack of the education system, so for Han Lie, although education will cost most of his financial resources and energy, he has to devote himself to completing it, in the saying of later generations: no matter how hard you are, you can't suffer your children, that's the truth.

In winter, the weather turns cold and windy.

Han Lie, who has already transferred all the counties under Guangling County, will personally lead the subordinate officials Guo Yuan, Cheng Bing, Zheng Yi and others who follow him to assess whether they are qualified, the registered population, cultivated land and the development situation of the county magistrates.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, Han Lie walked nine county seats, and dismissed three county commanders in a row, five county commanders, two county lieutenants, one of the county commanders was killed, two county lieutenants and two county lieutenants were put in prison, and severe punishment methods were met.

On this day, when Han Lie and his entourage came to Yandu County, they found that this city was more prosperous and lively than the cities they had walked through, although they had already known that Yandu was a famous salt-producing place in Xuzhou, and Han Lie had also read the copywriting before coming.

It is known that Yandu is the second largest city under the rule of Guangling, second only to Guangling, the county seat, with a population of nearly 50,000 and an annual salt industry tax of as much as 5 million yuan, which can be described as a place of ointment.

In addition to a group of civil officials such as Guoyuan and Cheng Bing, Han Lie also accompanied by Dian Wei's escort and five hundred personal soldiers led by Xu Sheng, wearing gold scale armor, leather boots on his feet, a golden hood on his head, a red brocade robe on his shoulders, a ring on his waist and a sword, and five hundred personal soldiers holding spears, all of them tall and burly, at a glance, tall and shaped, dressed and armored, and looked the same person.

This group of pro-soldiers is an elite soldier personally selected by Han Lie, there is not much difference in height and size, all of them are brave and good at fighting, don't look at the number of people, but this momentum is breathtaking.

Wu Jun, the commander of Yandu County, who had already received the news, led the county officials out of the city to greet him, and after a little greeting, his party entered the city.

Han Lie, who originally rode in a carriage, changed to riding a war horse after entering the city, his purpose was naturally to appreciate the climate in the city, and he naturally couldn't see anything when he sat in the carriage, and he seemed to be a little too anxious to ride a horse when he entered the city, but Han Lie always thought that the first impression was very important, which was also the reason why he changed to a war horse when he entered the city.

Although the street market in Yandu City was very lively, Han Lie found several problems, first of all, the street was very dirty, and the feces left by the carriages and horses could be seen everywhere, and secondly, there were many monks, basically at a glance, they could be seen, and again beggars, although they did not reach ten steps per person, but through the long street market, Han Lie saw at least thirty or forty beggars, including old people and women, as well as children and young people, covering almost all groups.

A bustling city, the street market is dirty, it may be understandable, after all, there is no systematic health department in this era, but it is a little strange that there are a large number of monks, on the contrary, beggars did not surprise Han Lie, not to mention in the Han Dynasty, beggars are not uncommon in later generations.

However, monks are still rare in the late Han Dynasty, although the monks of the Western Regions have already entered the Han Dynasty to spread Buddhism, but because the attitude of the government is not very eager, so the spread of Buddhism in Middle-earth at this time is not very successful.

I had seen monks in Tancheng Han Lie before, and I had seen them a few times in Licheng, but it was the first time that Xiang Yandu had seen signs of monks everywhere on the street.

Before entering the county office, Han Lie had doubts and asked Xu Sheng a few words, and took over Xu Sheng, who was guarding the county office, and then arranged for a sergeant to leave the county office.

"Wu Jun, the lower official, lead the officials of the government to meet the county guard." After Han Lie took his seat on the main seat, Wu Jun led the officials under Yan to desecrate, got up and saluted again.

Wu Jun is slender and nearly forty years old, which is the age of prime of life. The face is rich, the words and deeds are thorough, and there is nothing wrong with it, if it is on the surface, this person gives a good impression.

"Everyone, please get up, this official is a person in the army, and he does not pay attention to hypocrisy." Han Lie waved his hand and said, "I see that the lunch point has also arrived, is the Wu County Order going to sacrifice the Five Organs Temple for me first?" ”

"What the lord said is that the lower officials have already prepared, so let's go and let people present it." Wu Jun thought that Han Lie would first consult the various books of Yandu, and was about to be presented to people, when he heard Han Lie's relaxed words, he was surprised, and hurriedly got up and responded.

Under Wu Jun's arrangement, a team of maids held a tray of wine and food, and walked into the hall with lotus steps, twenty maids, all graceful and delicate, but what is surprising is that these maids are not wearing gorgeous Han skirts, but the gray and white monk's robes, although the eyes are simple, but they are wearing these beautiful women, but they have a unique style.

For a while, everyone's eyes in the lobby were attracted by the maid in front of them, and even Han Lie was shocked, so don't look at the maid's dress, it vividly shows the master's habits.

"Beautiful and delicious, full of color and flavor, it seems that Lord Wu is still an elegant person." Han Lie looked at the food in front of the table and the beautiful woman in front of him, and couldn't help but smile with his palms.

"It's good if adults like it, if they like it." Wu Jun saw Han Lie smile and praise, and hurriedly echoed happily, today's meeting, but he made it quietly, the purpose is to please Han Lie.

Han Lie's strange behavior, as well as Wu Jun's flattering image, made Guo Yuan, who was the next head, frown, although Wu Jun's initial image gave people a good feeling, but this performance made Guo Yuan suddenly feel that this person was a little flashy, and it was likely that he was just a slapstick.
