After inspecting the training of the escort team, Wei Shuo came to the newly built academy again, saying that it was a academy, but in fact it was just two wooden rooms, in which several rows of wooden boards were placed to serve as desks, and twenty or thirty children were sitting there shaking their heads and reciting books, lacking paper and pencils, and the children could only use sand to practice calligraphy.

The two teachers had to teach the children with chalk made of plaster, because there were no books, so they had to teach the children many times starting with the simplest literacy.

Wei Shuo and Zhu Wen were walking on the road, and there was a faint sound of reading. Wei Shuo looked at the somewhat simple academy, and said to Wei Shuo with a smile: "The current conditions are limited, so I have to temporarily wronged the children, and when we have money after a while, we will buy some books, paper and pens for the children." ”

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate ......"

Listening to Langlang's endorsement, Zhu Wen's eyes lit up, turned around, and said to Wei Shuo with a smile: "President, this "Thousand Character Essay" you taught to the gentlemen is amazing, and I don't know which Confucian this eloquent essay came from. ”

Wei Shuo smiled slightly and did not explain, speaking of this "Thousand Character Text", he also has to thank his little nephew, because his brother and sister-in-law are busy at work, he is generally responsible for the study of the little nephew during the winter and summer vacations, and for a long time, the ancient children's enlightenment books such as "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names", and "Disciple Rules" are memorized by him.

In view of the fact that there are many allusions in the "Three Character Classic" that have not yet happened, Wei Shuo had no choice but to take out the "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text" to fill up the numbers.

"The sun and the moon are shining, and the Chensu column is open to the ......" After a charming voice sounded, it was the immature voice of a group of children. The sound of reading echoes in this valley. It is as clear and pure as spring and white snow, and people's hearts have been washed.

Looking through the window, a group of seven or eight-year-old students in the school were concentrating on following Mr. to endorse. On the stage, the old teacher, who was wearing a coarse cloth robe with a ring ruler in his hand, walked back and forth in the classroom, and when he found a boy who was distracted, he knocked him on the head with a ring ruler with a straight face.

Often the child would be frightened, and then quickly sit up straight, and continue to shake his head and carry it with his husband. After memorizing the book for a while, it seemed that he noticed someone peeping, and some children really couldn't hide their curiosity, so they quietly turned their heads to look out the window when the husband was not paying attention.

"President, shall we go in?" Zhu Wen turned his head and looked at Wei Shuo and asked.

Wei Shuo stared at the school steadily, and after being silent for a long time, he shook his head and said, "No, don't disturb the children's classes, let's go to the homeless people's house to have a look!" ”

"Sir, the president is gone!"

Mr. Jiaoshu glanced out the window, and when he saw that Wei Shuo and the others had gone away, he withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone continue to read!" ”

"Sir, when I grow up, can I become a hero like the president?" The little guy was obviously an admirer of Wei Shuo, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he looked at Mr. with his little fists clenched, nervous.

"Absolutely! As long as you study hard, you will definitely become a big hero like the president in the future. Mr. Teach replied with an affirmative nod.

"Really? Then I'll definitely study hard. The little guy said excitedly.

Mr. Teaching nodded slightly, looked at the distant back outside the window, slowly withdrew his gaze, and reached out to rub the little one's head.

It was close to noon, and every household was cooking, and the smoke was rising to the clear sky.

In the academy, the sound of reading is still loud, echoing over this quiet valley for a long time.

……

"Ziwen, how did you become a wanderer as a scholar? Shouldn't you be an official? On the way, Wei Shuo suddenly asked curiously.

It is not surprising that Wei Shuo has such doubts, he knows very well that in the Wei and Jin dynasties, scholars were basically the power of the big families, and they controlled the vast majority of the world's educational resources. Anyone who can get an education has such and such a relationship with the family, and ordinary people have no chance to study at all.

This is not the Song and Ming dynasties when scholars were everywhere, and in the Wei and Jin dynasties, reading people were a very scarce resource. It's really not common for someone like Zhu Wen to be an outcast.

"I'm just from a humble background, and I can't even be rated as a lower nine grades, how can I have the opportunity to be an official." Zhu Wen seemed to remember something, and his face showed a trace of pain and shame.

"What the hell is going on with this nine-product Zhongzheng system?" Wei Shuo doesn't know much about the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, only knows that this is a means for the imperial court to select talents in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the division of the quality of court officials in later dynasties seems to be somewhat related to these nine products.

As a victim of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, he knows a lot about the doorway of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, "The Jiupin Zhongzheng system is an important means for the family to control the government, and in order to safeguard the interests of the family, they give and receive the official positions of the court through the Jiupin Zhongzheng system." ”

"Then the court doesn't care?"

"The Imperial Court? Hum! The whole court is their people, even the emperor is one of them, and the central officials who participate in the evaluation level are all from the family. It can be said that the fact that the imperial court has come to this point now has a lot to do with the fact that the Jiupin Zhongzheng system has blocked the road to talent advancement. ”

"Speaking of which, the nine-grade Zhongzheng system is based on family background, moral education, and talent to evaluate grades, but in fact, it is the family background that ultimately determines a person's grade. The Zhongzheng official will not consider these at all, if a certain Zhongzheng official suddenly abandons his family background and determines the grade of a certain person with his talents, then this person must have a close connection with a certain family, otherwise a child of a poor family will not want to be rated as a grade. ”

Wei Shuo frowned when he heard this, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't know how long it took before he spoke: "If there is a chance in the future, I hope to change the way of selecting talents." ”

Zhu Wen was shocked when he heard this: "Another way to select talents? In addition to the inspection system of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, I have also heard of the nine-product Zhongzheng system of this dynasty. Could it be that the president has the ambition to restore the meritocracy order proposed by Emperor Wu of Wei? ”

Wei Shuo smiled and said: "Cao Cao's meritocracy order is indeed a huge progress in talent selection, especially the fact that it is not based on family background as the basis for selecting talents, which is the most worthy of affirmation. It's just that although Cao Cao is eloquent and strategic, he has not carried it forward. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will use this as a basis to select the required human resources through a unified examination. ”

"Exams?" Zhu Wen is the second monk is confused, and he doesn't know what his scheming president is planning.

"Yes, it is an exam, and a special institution is responsible for uniformly formulating questions and organizing exams, as long as they are eligible readers, regardless of their background, they have the right to take the exam. The examination papers are also marked by special personnel, and the names on these examination papers are all pasted with paper, and it is impossible for anyone to know who and from which school the answer papers are until the results of the examination are available. ”

Zhu Wen's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "President, you have a good method, so as to avoid the monopoly of all the people who are admitted to the examination by the big family, and it will also leave a way for the poor scholars in the world to move forward." That's a great strategy! ”

Wei Shuo waved his hand and said, "This is just a little idea in my heart, it is still far from becoming a reality, and now we are not capable of organizing an exam." If I have the opportunity in the future, I hope you can help me promote this scientific research system. ”

"Really? If the president has such great ambitions, I, Zhu Wen, will unswervingly follow the lord's rights and minds in this life. Zhu Wen knelt in front of Wei Shuo with an excited face and swore to the sky.

"Huh? What are you doing here? Hurry up and stand up, you know I hate people on their knees the most. Wei Shuo hurriedly pulled up Zhu Wen who was kneeling on the ground, as a modern person, after coming to ancient times, in addition to some inconvenience in eating and drinking, Wei Shuo's biggest disgust was that everyone always knelt in front of him.

In fact, Wei Shuo couldn't understand the mood of Zhu Wen as an ancient man at this time, in Zhu Wen's opinion, Wei Shuo trusted him to do the things that left his name in history. As the saying goes: 'If you treat me as a soldier, I will repay you as a soldier.' Many literati in ancient times had such a complex.
