The next day, Zhang Chao got up under Dou Zhi's service. Yesterday, Dou Zhi also became his woman in a daze, and Zhang Chao asked Dou Zhi to go to bed by himself, Dou Zhi did not choose to resist, but took the initiative to sleep on the same bed with Zhang Chao. And Dou Zhi officially became Zhang Chao's woman from now on, and the next day she took the initiative to get up first. Although it seems that Dou Zhi is a woman, she has been practicing martial arts all year round, and her natural spirit is actually better than that of Zhang Chao, a young man, so although she has just experienced a sharp change in her life, she is still full of energy. When Zhang Chao got up, she still had the energy to serve Zhang Chao and dress, and she looked very "docile" and did not feel any discomfort.

"It seems that ancient women are really good, even if they are strong in martial arts, but they are also mentally a 'weakling'!" Zhang Chao thought.

Although Dou Zhi's martial arts still look very good, if you want to say that martial arts can easily clean herself up, but yesterday she did not choose to resist, but gave in very obediently. Therefore, Zhang Chao knows that this may be the education of women in the ancient society, and this is the spiritual enslavement of women in the words of later generations. However, Zhang Chao knows the so-called Zifei fish, the joy of knowing fish? In fact, for the ancient women, they may not need any women's rights or all kinds of equality and freedom. Aren't they enjoying the "joy" of serving their men? Every era has its own thinking of each era, and perhaps later generations of women pay attention to the equality of men and women, and think that equality between men and women is happiness. But women in ancient times did not think so, and they may have thought that serving their husbands was the right thing to do, but that they were the happiest. The concept of happiness of people in each era is not the same, ancient women may think that they are happy to pay unconditionally for the man they like, but the women of later generations are more inclined to career, and there is a lot less for the family. But there's nothing to blame for that. Because different eras have different eras, it is not possible to measure another era by the standards of the same era. Maybe later generations thought that ancient women were enslaved by men, but this kind of "slavery", maybe ancient women were also happy!

"Thank you!" Zhang Chao said.

However, Dou Zhi took the initiative to say: "I will be your woman in the future, you don't have to be too polite." My father told me that a woman should be a good support to her husband. Then let him have more energy to work on his own business. ”

Zhang Chao suddenly asked curiously, "Who is your father?" I don't think you've been an ordinary family since you were a child, right? ”

Zhang Chao feels that this Dou Zhi should not be an ordinary person, because according to Dou Zhi, he began to read and write when he was two years old, and the families who can read and write are definitely wealthy families in this era. Although he was later lost and picked up by the master, the family he was in before was definitely a good family, maybe even a big family. Because from Dou Zhi's scattered memories, we can know that Dou Zhi still had the opportunity to read and write when he was a child, and you must know that only men in ordinary poor families can read and write. After all, according to the productive forces of ancient times, boys were given priority to study. On the one hand, even if the Hanmen family arranges reading, they always give priority to arranging male offspring to study. Only those very wealthy families can get girls to go to school with them. So Dou Zhi is a girl who can study, and it is obviously from a family with very good economic conditions.

"I don't remember, I only know that my name is Dou Zhi, and I don't remember anything else." Dou Zhi said with some sadness.

Zhang Chao suddenly said: "My Tang Dynasty foreign clan is surnamed Dou, and now the emperor's mother, that is, Empress Taimu's maiden family, is also surnamed Dou, do you think you will be the daughter of the Dou family?" ”

"I don't know. I don't remember anything! Dou Zhi replied.

Zhang Chao at this moment, he also hoped that this Dou Zhi belonged to the Dou family. Zhang Chao has decided to find some people another day and ask them to help him investigate. If Dou Zhi is the daughter of the Dou family, then it can be regarded as getting closer to Li Shimin in the future. Because if Dou Zhi is the daughter of the Dou family, then this is Li Shimin's cousin or niece, then this can still bring the relationship closer. Don't look at such a paper-thin relationship, but sometimes with this relationship, the meaning is different. There is a little bit of blood involvement. That's enough to bring others closer a lot. Therefore, if Dou Zhi is the daughter of the Dou family, it is beneficial and harmless to herself.

Zhang Chao doesn't mind using women, anyway, as a politician, he has long fed the festival to the dog, so using women is nothing, but very normal. Zhang Chao is not that kind of "big man". Anyway, he is a politician, absolutely a politician in the truest sense of the word, so as long as it can be beneficial to his future political goals, it can also be used. Even if it's feelings, even if it's other women's feelings for themselves, they can be used, and it's a fool not to use them. Politicians who don't know how to take advantage of women's feelings, politicians who don't know how to use marriage, those are a group of people who can't go far. The so-called manly man should not come to the officialdom to mix, and you should not be a man when you become an official.

In addition, the Dou family belongs to the Guanlong Group, and according to Zhang Chao's plan, the Guanlong Group is an object that can be cooperated, unlike the Shandong Shi clan that must be killed. The Guanlong Group does not attach so much importance to the bloodline, while the Shandong Shi clan absolutely values the bloodline. The so-called Shandong scholars value the bloodline most, rather than the later cultural achievements and achievements in various aspects. is like the Song family in a famous novel "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in later generations, the Song family is actually the embodiment of the Shandong Shi clan, their requirements for blood are simply perverted, not only the Hu blood is not good, even if they are born poor and not from the Shi clan, they also look down on them. They even think that the people in the Guanlong Group are all mongrets, so that the Guanlong Group and the Shandong Shi clan are actually not very favorable.

"Dou Zhi, I'll help you ask after a while to see if you are the daughter of the Dou family. After all, it's definitely not a matter for you to go like this, and you have to find a way to find your biological parents! Zhang Chao said.

"Okay!" Dou Zhi said.

Zhang Chao began to think, if this Dou Zhi is really a member of the Dou family in the Guanlong Group, it would be really good. The Guanlong Group is a huge political force that spans dynasties, and it has also begun to exist since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, all of which are the leadership power struggles within the Guanlong Group. The Guanlong Group originated from Wufu. However, in the future, it was gradually risen by the Shandong scholars. Judging from the trend of the Tang Dynasty in the original history, the Guanlong group was more dominant in the early stage, and the Shandong Shi clan was dominant in the middle period, but at the end of the Tang Dynasty, both groups were replaced by the Hanmen. However, the Guanlong clique is mainly embodied in the military attachés, and is relatively weak in the civilian officials. There is also a reason for this, the Guanlong Group originated from Wufu. Therefore, it is also called the Guanlong Wufu Group. Its influence in the military is very strong, but it is relatively weak in terms of civilian officials. If we can promote the union of the civil officials of the Hanmen and the military attaches of the Guanlong group, this can encircle and suppress the Shandong Shi clan in many ways.

After several years, the biggest enemy in Zhang Chao's heart is the Shandong Shi clan, and the Guanlong Group is second. The Guanlong Group can be co-opted at its discretion to gradually influence and transform some of them, because their requirements for bloodline are not too harsh, unlike the Shandong Shi clan, which absolutely requires pure blood, and it must also be of noble blood. If it is a poor family, even if it becomes a high-ranking official, it is impossible to be accepted by the Shandong scholars. The Guanlong Group is different, the Guanlong Group values your current achievements more than your so-called ethereal bloodline.

"Dou Zhi, come with me!" Zhang Chao said.

"Yes, okay!" Dou Zhi said.

Zhang Chao didn't think about so many things about the Guanlong Group first, this had to wait for Dou Zhi to confirm that she was the daughter of the Dou family. However, if Dou Zhi is the daughter of the Dou family, then you can find an opportunity to "recognize your relatives" in the future, but at this time, you must pay attention to it.

Zhang Chao took Dou Zhi to Hope Academy. Then I met the students in the academy.

"Li Yifu, how is your study during this time?" Zhang Chao asked.

Li Yifu, who is already thirteen or fourteen years old, took the initiative to say: "I have seen Zhang Yushi. I've learned a lot during this time. I want to learn not only Confucianism, but also leadership and organizational skills, which I want to learn in the future. ”|

The students in this Hope Academy have to learn a lot of things, not only Confucianism, but also knowledge in life. Zhang Chao didn't want to teach some rotten Confucianism. That's definitely not going to work. Zhang Chao knows that Confucianism is just a stepping stone, as long as he becomes an official, he can throw it all away, and it is not of much use. The next is the time to really exert force, if you can learn how to be an official before becoming an official, how to exercise your leadership and organization skills. That's a great thing for someone who is new to officialdom. The reason why the scholars can be more powerful than the Hanmen is that in addition to their bloodline background, their families will also exercise their leadership and organization skills since they were young, which will help them to rule the country in the future. Therefore, they have also taken a step ahead of the poor in their natural advantages, and the two sides are not on the starting line at all. However, Zhang Chao hopes to pull more people to the same starting line as much as possible, although it is worse than the Shi clan, but at least it can't be too bad.

"Li Yifu, are you interested in going to the four disciplines to study?" Zhang Chao asked.

Li Yifu immediately asked, "Can I go to the four disciplines to study?" ”

"Yes, as long as you want, I can also let you go to the four schools to study." Zhang Chao said.

Li Shimin has promised Zhang Chao, and then in a few days, he will go to Simen to serve as a doctor. There are a total of six PhDs in the four disciplines, and the status is equivalent to that of senior professors in later universities. However, there is no special administrative body to manage the four schools, and a doctor is selected from above to manage them, and such a "chief doctor" is actually the president of the four schools. A doctorate in four disciplines is a hard job, not only six people have to take on the responsibility of teaching thousands of students, that is called a tired. And these students are not the second generation of aristocratic officials, they are all selected from the poor family, they want to be officials must pass the imperial examination, if they can't pass the imperial examination, then they will inevitably return to their hometowns to teach or serve as some low-level officials, and they can't get promoted in their lifetime.

And those high-level Guozijian are different, Guozijian is the most senior institution in the Tang Dynasty, specializing in accepting outstanding descendants of the royal family and officials above the third grade, and there will be no more than a hundred people studying each time, while there are five doctors in Guozijian, and five people teach fifty, which is better than six people teaching more than a thousand. And Guozijian is specially designed to teach the descendants of those royal families and high-ranking officials, which belongs to elite education. The remaining four schools are all about some so-called wide nets, and how high the level of education can be depends on yourself.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty did not attach importance to this kind of four-door learning, because the Tang Dynasty was still the ruling mainstream of the scholars, and they limited the spread of culture as much as possible. Therefore, I don't pay much attention to the poor school like the four schools, which can be imagined how sad it is. And Zhang Chao plans to go to the four schools to work, first of all, to change this education model. It is necessary to develop the four disciplines well, otherwise it will definitely be very dangerous in the future, which is an important channel for popularizing poor reading.

"Well, the Four Sects are the largest schools in the imperial court. After that, I can go to study in four subjects! Li Yifu said.

Zhang Chao immediately asked: "Li Yifu, it won't be long before I will go to the four schools as a doctor, and I will actually be in charge of the four studies, and you will be my student in the future!" ”

"The student has seen the teacher!" Li Yifu said immediately.

Zhang Chao didn't feel very surprised by this Li Yifu, this Li Yifu was too good at "coming to things". He just said that he was going to work in the four schools, and he would go to the four schools to study in the future, but he immediately took the initiative to shout one by one, obviously kicking his nose in the face. However, Zhang Chao not only did not hate Li Yifu's situation. On the contrary, I am a little relieved. Although this Li Yifu is still a little obvious, he is only thirteen years old, how can Zhang Chao demand so much from him. But this is enough to show that he has a future, a future as an official, at least he can know how to kick his nose in the face. If you can "come to things", then such people will go faster in the early stage of officialdom. Those who don't know how to "come to things" are destined to not have a very good future.

"Li Yifu, how is your Hope Academy? How have the past two years been? Zhang Chao asked.

To avoid being too conspicuous. Therefore, Zhang Chao rarely came to Hope Academy, but let Hope Academy develop on its own. Zhang Chao is only used as a strategic planning guide, and there is no other arrangement. So now he took the initiative to ask how this Hope Academy is developing, and whether it can reach what level?

"Teacher, at present, I have heard from our mountain chief that Hope Academy has arranged a number of primary schools in Shangzhou and Zhongzhou throughout the Tang Dynasty. However, the state has not been able to arrange much, and only a small number of elementary schools will be scheduled next week. Li Yifu said.

According to Zhang Chao's plan a few years ago. In the future, these schools will definitely be expanded, and we will strive to arrange three elementary schools in the upper state, two elementary schools in the middle state, and one elementary school in the lower state. But so far, it has only been arranged in the upper and middle states. But none of those states were able to arrange it.

"What about middle school?" Zhang Chao asked.

"Middle school, at present, only our Hope Academy in Chang'an is called a middle school, and no other way has been able to arrange a middle school. In the past three years, a group of people have graduated from primary school, and according to the plan you made a few years ago, half of them must be eliminated. But is it really necessary to eliminate so many? Every time I see many classmates walking away in tears, I feel uncomfortable in my heart. They're not bad, but why should they be eliminated? Li Yifu asked.

Zhang Chao also smiled bitterly, why did Zhang Chao want to eliminate so many people? According to the current number of Hope Academies, there are almost tens of thousands of students studying all the time, but after three years of study, half of them must be eliminated, and only half of them can enter the so-called "high primary school". This elimination process is very cruel, and many primary school students will lose a large number of classmates at this level. Looking at those who have been eliminated, no one has a lot in their hearts. My partner for a few years is leaving, which is obviously very uncomfortable. They are like comrades-in-arms, and they can't continue with themselves, so it's definitely not comfortable.

"No, Li Yifu, you have to know that this will always be the case in this world. If you are not good, then you can only be eliminated in the end. If you want to be an official in the future and realize your own wealth, you will inevitably step on others. This process is not only on the heads of his classmates, but also on the heads of those scholars in the future. This process is very cruel, and only by being able to select the best talents can we help us make a profit. And those students who are eliminated will also be properly placed, they have studied for three years, they have also learned common words, can write simple articles, and can learn basic arithmetic, they can get a good job. So you don't have to worry too much, with these three years of opportunities, it is enough to change them for a lifetime. However, why should they be eliminated, it is because they are not good enough. Our resources are limited, and we hope that all the offerings of the College will come from donations from merchants. However, the merchants' donations are not taken for nothing, and in the future, you must help the children of the poor and the merchants to compete for benefits. If you're not good enough, you're going to be eliminated. If you are better than others, then you will be able to come forward. ”

"And the method of passing the exam, who is excellent and who is incompetent, that is the most basic embodiment. This is the fairest method, and it is definitely more useful than the inheritance of this scholar clan from generation to generation. And as big as the national imperial examination, as small as this study, all of them are full of competition. Only if you are stronger than others can you get more resources, you understand? If you are incompetent, then don't blame others for riding on your head. And you rely on your own ability to gain status and the right to continue studying, and this is what you want to fight for. There are only so many resources in this world, and if you don't fight for it, then you can only be squeezed down. In this era, there is no way for you to enjoy unlimited wealth and various benefits. It is not yet at that time, so if you want more, you can only go for it. What we need to do is to uphold this fairness, not to break the rules. If we have enough financial resources in the future, of course, we can let more people study. But not now, we have too little financial resources to run schools, so we can only choose the best of the best, and the others can only be eliminated. ”

Li Yifu nodded and said: "I understand, if a person can't reflect his own value, then others will not be willing to 'buy' you, and they will not be willing to continue to let you develop." Therefore, everyone must reflect their own value in order to make others value you. That's why this world is so cruel, if you don't compete with others, then in the end you can only be trampled under the feet of others. ”

Zhang Chao also nodded and said; "Very well, it's good that you understand that. We have to compete not only with our own people, who are also from humble families, but also with the nobles, and you are the representatives. ”

Zhang Chao knows that this education is still more useful, at least in the country's Shangzhou and Zhongzhou can set up primary schools, and according to the plan, every year those primary schools will select some more talented students from within the range, and then let them enter the school. And within three years is a period of testing, if you can stand out from others, that is the time to continue to invest. If you can't stand out from the competition, then you will face the result of being eliminated. This is also like writing online novels in later generations, all of which are to select some potential works for signing, and then conduct recommendation experiments. If it can't produce results, it can only be phased out by Europe in the end.

Those businessmen paid to help these students, not to support them for nothing, but to enable them to fight for their own interests in officialdom and in all aspects in the future. People who have no value, that is not worth the investment. Of course, those who have completed three years of study are also very good candidates. After all, three years of study is enough for them to change the fate of their lives, especially when the cultural popularity rate is not high, it is a very important channel to change their fate. Even if it's only three years of study, that's enough to make them reborn. If the whole country can achieve three years of education, the foundation of the scholar clan will be completely shaken. Allowing as many people as possible to achieve three years of education is the most fundamental method, the way to drain the cultural dominance of the nobles. As long as the cultural interpretation power of the scholars has lost its effect, one of their three pillars has collapsed, and the Hanmen also have their own talent training system.
