Lu Chengqi was very surprised, generally speaking, official positions are granted by the emperor, even after the procedures of the ministry, nominally. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Kong Lin came to ask for the official, and it was reasonable. It's just that the emperor gives officials, except for the imperial examination, he doesn't ask about the promotion of officials on weekdays. All because the officials have their own assessments, and they specialize in the arts, and indiscriminate intervention will only cause dissatisfaction among officials. In case there is a person who is very likable, and the emperor suddenly gives him a big official to do, how can this convince the courtiers? If you are humble, you will be ashamed, and if you are prosperous, you will be close to you, which is an ancient saying, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me.

It stands to reason that Kong Lin's official position is not low, and he is an official of the fourth grade in the matter, even if he has nothing to do on weekdays, he is also a righteous official, which is different from the rank official (Jilu official). can't say that he is a very human minister, but he can be regarded as a high-ranking official. This is still coming to beg the official, can't you say it?

First shocked, then frowned, seeing what Kong Lin was going to say, Lu Chengqi interrupted him and said, "Let's talk about it when we enter the hall." ”

Kong Lin was about to spit out his grievances in one breath, but was interrupted by the little emperor, so he had to obediently follow him into the vertical arch hall. After Gao Hao moved the chair, served the fragrant tea, and withdrew, Lu Chengqi said lightly: "Why does Kong Qing want to ask me for an official?" I remember that Kong Qing is already in the middle of the fourth grade, is he still dissatisfied with this official position? Speaking of the back, Lu Chengqi's voice increased, which was quite majestic. He was a little angry, if everyone came to beg for officials like Kong Lin, would there be any order in the officialdom?

Kong Lin said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The minister does not want to be an official and become a knight, but wants His Majesty's favor to let the minister be the same as Sun Jue and Chen Xiang to serve as a student of Mengxue." ”

Lu Chengqi was surprised, he originally thought that Kong Lin was thinking that the official in the matter was not big enough to ask for a bigger official. I never thought that I was actually here for the Mengxue scholar, you know, this local scholar is the lowest official position, but it is just the lower three grades. Even if he is a doctor of Taixue, he is only an eight-rank official. Taixue is too often managed, too often is one of the nine Qings, and is the fourth official, which is not the same as Kong Lin? And Mengxue is the enlightenment of the children of the people, so it is naturally not set too high, so it is tentatively set as an official position like Taichang Shaoqing, which is the fifth grade. Even so, Kong Lin can be regarded as asking for two demotion in a row, from the fourth grade to the fifth grade, why bother?

In fact, Dashun's Taixue has formed a relatively complete set of school system, Tai students are recruited from the outstanding children of officials and civilians below the eighth grade, and the inner students are also provided with food by Taixue. If a student wants to eat in Taixue, he must pay "fasting money" before he can eat in the official kitchen; halved for the poor; The inner shepherds and the fasting chiefs are exempted.

Each student learns a scripture and is taught by his or her academic officer. Students are divided into three classes, namely the upper house, the inner house, and the outer house. The system of assessing students' grades and students' promotion, known as the "three-rounding method", stipulates that new students enter the outer dormitory to study, pass the public examination and private examination, and refer to the weekday art to promote and supplement the inner dormitory. Students who are admitted to the school take the examination once every two years, and the test results and the scores of the public and private examinations of the year are all excellent. One excellent and one flat is a middle-class student, and is allowed to be exempted from the Ministry of Examination; If two equals or one excellent and one excellent student are inferior, they will be exempted from the examination. Students will no longer participate in the public examination. The private examination is conducted once a month, and the students are self-examined by the academic officials; The public examination is held once a year and is presided over by the imperial court. Students are divided into fasting and studying, each fasting is 30 people, five rooms and one furnace pavilion are the reading and meeting places for the whole fast, and there is a fasting chief and a fasting edict respectively, who are responsible for supervising and inspecting the students' performance.

What's even better is that there is also a work-study in Taixue, where the staff is called a student or a ministry, and there are front porch records, academic orders, direct learning, etc., most of which are served by the upper or inner students, and they have a monthly salary. Workers are called fasting servants, fasting and so on, and also receive "monthly pay".

It's a pity that it's good to learn too much, but it can't benefit all the people of Dashun. Educational resources are relatively limited, and it is understandable that they are concentrated in Guozijian, Taixue, and Royal Roads University. But Lu Chengqi's purpose is very simple, just to count the literacy of the whole people, and does not require them all to come to the imperial examination. Of course, the bright students in the Mongolian school can be recommended to the local government school to continue their studies. Then it was recommended by the local government school to Taixue, and then the imperial examination. What Lu Chengqi has to do is to form an industrial chain for talent training, and he can even fund from Huangzhuang to subsidize poor and outstanding students, all the way to Taixue, and then directly take the palace examination, and finally become an official.

Logically speaking, this Mengxue is the lowest institution of learning, and it is also the most important institution. Once the foundation is laid, the next step is to learn quickly. According to Kong Lin's qualifications, why do you have to go to Taixue to be a Taichangqing, right? Why did you think about going to Mengxue, which made Lu Chengqi very puzzled: "Kong Qing, are you sure you didn't talk nonsense?" ”

"Your Majesty, as a descendant of the Confucian saints, he should take it as his responsibility to educate and educate. Educate together, and give priority to learning. There were many private studies before, the good and the bad were uneven, and the ministers had the heart but were powerless. Now His Majesty has set up a Mongolian school, and the minister should recommend himself, that is, to be a teacher, and the minister has no regrets or complaints! Kong Lin said categorically.

Lu Chengqi said with a little distrust: "But this Mengxue is not only teaching classics, I want Sun Jue and Chen Xiang to teach the six arts of gentlemen, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, and the purpose of running the school has been set, for 'the unity of knowledge and action, advocating literature and martial arts', hasn't Kong Qing always sneered at martial artists?" ”

Kong Lin said: "The minister despises the martial arts, the martial artists who do not learn and have no skills, are vulgar, only know how to dance with sticks and guns, and do not know how to sympathize with the people's livelihood." The ancestor of Confucius Sage Youyun, 'repay virtue with virtue, repay grievances with straightforwardness', and also advocate archery, how can ministers abandon martial arts? ”

Lu Chengqi understood a little in his heart: "Then if Kong Qing is a Mongolian scholar, how can he teach and educate people?" ”

Kong Lin perked up and knew that the little emperor was taking the school exam: "Zi said, there is no class in teaching." Self-restraint above, no regrets. If you are above the middle, you can also speak; Below the middle people, you can't speak also. The salute of the text, the harmony of the music, the poetry and the book, the spring and autumn are also subtle, and the one between heaven and earth is complete. The learning of a gentleman is also in the ears, in the heart, in the four bodies, and in the form of movement. At the end of the day, one can be the law. Boy why don't you learn poetry? Poetry can be exciting, can be observed, can be grouped, and can be complained. The father of the far things, the king of the distant things, know more about the names of birds, beasts, plants and trees. Flourish in poetry, stand in ceremony, and become musical. ”

Lu Chengqi was a little helpless and asked him to tell him how he planned to teach people, but he took out the words of Confucius and Xunzi. If it is even worse, wouldn't it be to memorize all the "Persuasion"? Immediately waved his hand and said, "I ask, what do you want to teach Kong Qing and people?" ”

Kong Lin said respectfully: "Your Majesty also said that there are "Thousand Character Essays", "Analects", and "Mencius". The minister believes that the "Book of Songs" can be added, which is more in line with Mongolian learning. ”

Lu Chengqi asked again: "If he is stupid, how can Kong Qing teach?" ”

Kong Lin thought for a while, and then said slowly: "There is no class to teach, teach according to aptitude." ”

Teaching students according to their aptitude was first proposed by Lu Chengqi, and Kong Lin quoted it to prove that he had really worked hard. It seems that Kong Lin is determined to follow the path of his ancestor Kong Sage and teach and educate people. Lu Chengqi asked again: "Kong Qing Dacai, why don't you go to Guozijian and go to Taixue, even if it is a state government official school, why do you want to go to Mengxue?" (To be continued.) )
