Chapter 40: The Grand Blueprint
"Oh." Fan Sui's interest was raised, and his eyes widened and stared at Qin Yiren: "Childe, please speak." ”
"Reading makes people wise, and I want to promote teaching and educating people in the Qin State, so that everyone in Qin can be literate." Qin Yiren's words are not amazing, and he is endless, this sentence is too shocking.
"What? Want everyone to be literate? Fan Sui looked like he had been struck by lightning, his face was in disbelief, his eyes were wide open, staring at Qin Yiren, and his mouth was wide open.
Fan Sui has the courage to know people, and his insight is far beyond the comparison of others, so it stands to reason that he will not be so shocked. However, Qin Yiren's words were too amazing, and they had the power to shock people's hearts!
During the Warring States Period, how rare were readers? Being able to read and read is a great honor. Looking at the whole world, among the more than 120 million people, how many people can read and write?
What Qin Yiren wants to do is not to make some people literate, but to make everyone literate, how amazing is this!
Even a wise person with extraordinary courage like Fan Sui was stunned by his words.
"Ugh." After a long time, Fan Sui made a grinding sound in his mouth, shook his head with a wry smile, and hit Qin Yiren hard, saying: "Although Childe's words are reasonable and reasonable, however, they are not practical. Reading makes people wise, yes, if the Qin people can read and write, then the wisdom of the people will be opened, the Qin people will be more warlike, more sensible, and Qin will be stronger. Childe, do you know how hard it is? ”
Fan Sui is not unaware of the benefits of reading, he is the beneficiary of reading, and he has a deep understanding of the great changes that reading has brought him. If possible. He wanted to promote education. Let the Qin people read and write. The problem is, it's too hard, it's not easier than climbing to the sky.
"Childe, it's not me talking about you, your idea is even more unrealistic than the empty talk of Confucianism, what is the royal destiny of heaven, it's too unrealistic." At that time, Confucianism was just empty talk. Unrealistic symbol, Fan Sui's words are very heavy.
He was already scathing and mean, and he was scolded as a "poisonous tongue", and Qin Yiren's thoughts were too illusory, even if he wanted to save some face for Qin Yiren, he couldn't care about it.
"Huh." However, Qin Yiren looked at Fan Sui as if he hadn't heard Fan Sui's bitter words, with a funny expression, and a pair of eyes wide open. said: "The prime minister thinks this is a lie, then." The prime minister was very wrong. The prime minister can know that if it is in Shandong, if you want to do this, there is no chance, but in Qin, it is different, and there is a great opportunity. ”
"Hmm." Fan Sui was a little puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”
"Prime Minister, you know, in Daqin, no matter who you are, you must memorize the Qin law." Qin Yiren's voice was slightly higher, and he said: "In order to let the people of the country memorize the Qin law, Great Qin sent people to teach them to memorize it. This is a ready-made opportunity, and they only need to add one more to them, and when teaching people to memorize the Qin Law, they can also teach people to read and write, isn't it? ”
"......" Fan Sui pointed at Qin Yiren with his right hand, his mouth was wide open, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
The reason why the Qin people obey the law and dare not violate the Qin law is not only because the Qin law is terrible and makes them frightened, but also because everyone in Qin knows the Qin law and can memorize the Qin law by heart. In order to let the Qin people know the Qin law and memorize the Qin law, the Qin State specially set up a "judge" to explain to the Qin people, so that everyone can remember it.
It can be said that the Qin State was an era of popularizing the law among the whole people, and in order to achieve this effect, there were quite a few judges in the Qin State. Moreover, all of them are literate, this is a ready-made "teacher", and they only need to be used well, they can be transformed into gentlemen who teach Qin people to read and write.
"Good!" Suddenly, Fan Sui's right hand slapped heavily on the short case and praised loudly.
The reason why Fan Sui thinks that Qin Yiren's idea is a lie is largely because Qin does not have enough "teachers", and if this problem is solved, then this "education for all" may not be feasible.
What's more, these "teachers" are ready-made, and they only need to add a task to them. To add tasks to them, it only takes one line to complete. The rest of the things only need to be written into the Qin Law and implemented well, and they can be completed. With Fan Suizhi's wisdom, he would not be unable to understand.
"Everyone is literate, and when the time comes, the Qin people will have more ways to fight, work, and grow crops...... God, by that time, the Qin State would not be able to do it if it was not strong. Fan Sui stroked his forehead, just surprised.
Today's Qin State has become the most powerful Warring States in the world, and if the Qin people are literate and open up the wisdom of the people, the Qin State will benefit immensely. At that time, the land will be planted, the war will be fought, and the work will be ...... No matter which aspect, the Qin State will go to the next level.
This was enough to make Fan Sui happy, however, there was something that made him even more happy, just listening to Qin Yidao: "Da Qin can also select a group of smart and clever people from among the children and send them to the academy to study." As for this school, aren't Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi in the Qin Kingdom? As long as Daqin contributes money, he can build a school hall and ask them to take on important responsibilities, and they will not allow it. ”
"They will be very happy!" Fan Sui tapped the short case lightly with his right hand, smiled very happily, and said: "Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi are admirable, they take pleasure in teaching people, do they still rush to do this kind of beautiful thing?" ”
Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi were great scholars in the Warring States Period, who devoted their lives to teaching and educating people, and they were thinking about this in their dreams.
"The establishment of a school is not only to teach people to read, but also to teach them practice." Qin Yiren continued: "Daqin wants to set up a lot of schools: craftsmen can set up a school, and they can ask skilled craftsmen like Mrs. Xu to teach apprentices, so that more people can learn skills, and Daqin's equipment will be more sophisticated; Government affairs can also set up a school, and people who are proficient in government affairs can be invited to teach apprentices to cultivate the talents needed by Daqin; Military affairs can also set up a school, you can invite Bai Qi and Meng Fu to teach apprentices, and you can even invite Le Yi to ......"
"Oh my God!" Qin Yiren was foaming at the mouth when he spoke, Fan Sui stared at him, and in the end, he was screaming.
It's really that the blueprint drawn by Qin Yiren is too beautiful, too beautiful to be true. If this is the case, there will be more talents in the Qin State, and there will be no shortage of talents.
"Qin's talents are mainly from Shandong, and these talents are not valued and reused in the state of their parents, so they have to go to other countries and come to Qin for thousands of miles." Fan Sui was very emotional, and said: "I, Fan Sui, am even more unlucky, I died nine times and was almost killed by Wei Qi, a traitor." It was not me who lost to Wei, it was Wei who lost to me, and I had to enter Qin. ”
The talents of the Qin State are mainly from Shandong, three or four percent of the officials are from Shandong, and six or seven percent of the officials are from Shandong, which is a shocking proportion.
This incident is enough to show that the Qin State is politically clear, and it has a fatal attraction to talents, which can make talents useful. However, this is also a hidden danger, indicating that the Qin State is short of talents.
At that time, no one paid attention to education, and the major warring states would not vigorously promote education, why? First, in the world of great disputes, financial resources are tight, and there is no money for the war, who will still run the school? Second, because of the special social situation at that time, there were not many literate people, and it was not easy to run education on a large scale.
It is precisely because of this, for example, that Confucius "has three thousand disciples and seven twenty-two sages", so he has become famous all over the world, and has become a famous educator in the history of China.
If the Qin State spends a huge amount of money to organize a large number of studies and cultivate talents, then the Qin State will have more talents and the Qin State will be stronger. Fan Sui will not fail to see such benefits.
However, immediately afterwards, Fan Sui shook his head again and hit Qin Yidao: "Childe, although your idea is good, it is difficult to realize. It is not difficult to do military affairs, but it is difficult to do things like craftsmen. Do you think, how much effort does it take for a good work to get a good law? Do they want to teach others like this? ”
There is an old Chinese saying that "the apprentice of the church starves the master", which is a portrayal of the difficulties of craftsmen. If you give it to you, you will have nothing to eat, and in order to eat and dress, you must "keep a hand", which is a portrayal of good work in ancient China.
How much effort does it take to create an invention, and who wants to pass it on to others?
Fan Sui's words hit the nail on the head.
"What's so hard about that?" Qin Yiren didn't care, and said with a smile: "Great Qin only needs to add another 'patent law' to the Qin Law." ”
"Patent law? What is Patent Law? Fan Sui heard such a new term for the first time, and he didn't know why, so he had to ask for advice.
"Patent law is about protecting the skills of craftsmen. For example, Madam Xu's sword-forging method will be protected by the laws of Great Qin. If anyone wants to forge a sword, and wants to use his sword-forging skills, he must give him gold. Qin Yiren explained.
The "......" patent law effectively solves the drawbacks of craftsmen hiding their own secrets, and if they really want to do this, craftsmen no longer have to worry about "teaching apprentices and starving masters". With the guarantee of life, they can confidently and boldly teach to their disciples.
"Another advantage is that every skill can only be protected for a certain period of time, such as five years and ten years. After the time has passed, it can be re-evaluated, and if there is no better skill than this, then it can continue to be protected. If someone already has a better skill, then they can no longer be protected, and the law of Great Qin must protect the better skill. Qin Yiren gave another explanation.
"Good! Good! Good! Fan Sui was overjoyed, tapped his hands lightly, and said with praise: "In this way, the craftsmen will dig out their minds to study better skills, and Daqin's equipment will be more sophisticated and easier to use." ”
Another function of patent law is to promote technological progress.
The Qin State attached great importance to technology, and it was precisely because of the importance that the Qin State attached to technology that the Qin State could make a weapon that was not inferior to fine iron. It was with these bronze weapons that the Qin army marched eastward, swept away the Six Kingdoms, and unified China.
It is precisely because of such advanced technology that the Qin State dared to use the limited iron in agriculture, build advanced iron farming tools, promote the development of agriculture, and make the Qin State more prosperous.
The technological achievements of the Qin State are still very shocking to this day, two thousand years later. The error of the arrow cluster in the terracotta warriors and horses does not exceed 0.02 mm, which is amazing.
The patent law is too important to Qin, and it can be expected that once it is fully implemented, it will promote the great technological development of Qin. (To be continued.) )
