Wei Juan took out a test paper and said, "The first place is this Zhu Shanqian of Wu County, Huiji County." ≦↖”

"Which mausoleum is he from?"

"Not in Lingyi, but in Chang'an City."

"Huh? Why not in the mausoleum? I remember that if you are not in Lingyi, you should not be allowed to live in Chang'an. ”

"He has an official body."

"It turned out to be a home of cultivation and reading, no wonder there is such a good literary style."

Cao Shi glanced at Zhu Shan's resume, and saw a very familiar name in the family member column, Zhu Maichen.

Zhi Budo sighed: "His father's name is Zhu Maichen, I have also had a few encounters with him, his family is Wu State, originally a small official of Huiji County, on the eve of the death of the first emperor last year, escorted prisoners to Beijing, just because the first emperor died and delayed the trip and almost lived on the streets, inadvertently met fellow villager Zhuang Zhu, and had to recommend entering the palace imperial history." ”

Cao Shi remembered this person's name, not only because he seemed to have a name in history, but also because there were not many people with the surname Zhu in the north, and even fewer were called Maichen, the naming style was obviously biased towards Jiangnan, and the possibility of the same name and surname in Chang'an was extremely low.

There are many low-level bureaucrats in the palace, and he doesn't know which person in the palace is Zhu Maichen.

"There are so many failures, is it too difficult for us to come up with the test questions?" Su Guangyi asked.

Cao Shi raised his head: "It's not difficult, we have found someone to test it, and under normal circumstances, we should get a passing result!" So many failures should be mixed. ”

Xiao Sheng's gloomy voice came from behind him: "Isn't it difficult to eliminate so many people?" ”

The little official who reviewed the test questions pretended not to know, and the other three deputy sacrificial wines also pretended not to hear, and the Cao Xiao family tore them for decades. It's hard for outsiders to interject.

Cao Shi sneered and mocked: "The state must have strict regulations, and it is irresponsible to recruit cats and dogs at will." is not responsible for the Son of Heaven, and the deputy sacrificial wine should be more responsible for the Son of Heaven! ”

"I've heard of your sharp-toothed reputation for a long time. Sure enough, he was very good at talking. ”

"Your yin and yang are not the same."

On the day of the list, Feng Shan went out early and went to the gate of Taixue to watch the list with the drama letter.

When I arrived at the place, tens of thousands of people waited anxiously around the door, until the gate slowly opened at the end of the day, and several small officials posted the list, and the guards of the southern army watched the big list with fierce eyes, not letting people cross the thunder pond for a step.

"What about my name? It's mine...... I see it, my name is here! ”

A man yelled like crazy, and the person behind him immediately pulled him out. The people who squeezed in looked around: "And where is my name...... Alas, why is there no name on me? ”

Ecstatic two or three out of ten, depressed and lost seven or eight out of ten, drama letter squeezed into the crowd with his strong body, and looked for a long time before seeing the names of the two.

"How? Are there any of our names? ”

"Yes."

"That's great."

Feng Shan was overjoyed, it was very honorable to be one of the first batch of students.

Influenced by the Taixue examination, many lecture courses have emerged in Chang'an City and the five major mausoleums, mainly teaching the analysis of examination questions and problem-solving training in the written examination, and various forums are full of tricks. Even hundreds of schools of thought came to join in the fun.

Cao Shi entered the palace to meet the Son of Heaven and reported the results of recruiting Taixue.

There are only more than 352oo people in Zhang Bangtongguò, which is far from the expected recruitment of 50,000 people, and most of the candidates do not have the ability to take the exam. Some people can only write a few hundred commonly used words, and the literacy rate is surprisingly low.

This is not the countryside, but the capital of the Han Empire. Chang'an City, where most of the world's elites are concentrated, is the richest and the place with the highest literacy rate. Less than one-tenth of the rate shows how high the illiteracy rate is.

Cao Shi gushed endlessly: "Your Majesty! Too much illiteracy was an important stumbling block to the Han Empire. If we had 30 million literate peasants in the Han family who were pondering new agricultural techniques, 5 million literate colonists and 100 craftsmen pondering new crafts, and 2 million literate soldiers pondering against the Xiongnu and South Vietnam, we would be stronger and more than twice as powerful today as we were in the past. ”

Wei Juan said impassionedly: "Cang Liao knows etiquette and etiquette, knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing, and the ancients will not deceive me!" His Majesty is an emperor through the ages, admired by the people of all generations, if His Majesty vigorously solves the difficulty of illiteracy, it will go down in history, and it will be remembered through the ages. ”

"Tell me about it."

Together with Cao Shi's five deputy sacrificial wines, the situation of Taixue's first enrollment is so bad, this is still based on the Tiantian population, if you enroll students every year, I'm afraid you won't even be able to recruit 10,000 people, if you don't want to solve this problem, Taixue will withdraw from the sight of the Son of Heaven in a few years, once the enthusiasm of the Son of Heaven fades, it is difficult to say how high the attention is.

For the sake of their own jobs and aspirations, the five of them have to stand on the same front and speak out, even if Xiao Sheng and Cao Shi have deep contradictions, they will not dismantle the stage casually.

Cao Shi is the most relaxed of the five, he can not be the honorary deputy sacrificial wine, and his willingness to continue to work is nothing more than to value the role of fame, he believes that Taixue will definitely be promoted, giving up a gold-lettered signboard is tantamount to throwing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds, so in order to persuade the Son of Heaven to work hard.

"The daily needs of the people are nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation, food and clothing are the foundation, and then the higher pursuit is to eat meat, wear good clothes, the farmers in Lu live a good life, and the higher is that reading and literacy can have a skill than planing food in the field to be happy, living a good life is the natural nature of people, Cang Liao is bound to pursue etiquette, if His Majesty can open a public school to hire a teacher, teach reading and literacy, Ming and Han laws and etiquette, he can serve the Son of Heaven when he grows up, and he can settle down to make a living, wouldn't he be happy!"

Liu Che pondered for a moment and nodded: "What General Che Cavalry said is reasonable, and I also intend to cultivate the literacy of the people, but Lao Tzu said, the rule of the sage, the heart is empty, the belly is solid, the wisdom is weak, and the bones are strong!" Confucius said that the people can make it, but they can't know it, which is somewhat in conflict with the statements of several Aiqing. ”

Cao Shi's brows furrowed, and he caught a glimpse of Wei Wan and Zhi Budo's faces full of helplessness.

The first sentence of the Son of Heaven comes from "Lao Tzu", the original text is "not virtuous, so that the people do not fight, not expensive and rare goods, so that the people are not thieves, do not see desire, so that the people's hearts are not chaotic, it is the rule of a saint, humble its heart, and its belly." Weak ambition, strong bones. It often makes the people ignorant and desireless, so that the wise do not dare to do it! for inaction. There is no cure. ”

If you do nothing, you will not be cured.

This set of ideas is one of the core ideas of the Huang Lao School, Liu Che remembers it clearly, Wei Juan and Zhi Bu are the masters of Huang Lao Xue, of course, it is impossible to forget lightly, but I don't want to show the school thinking in front of the Son of Heaven, according to Lao Tzu's foolish thoughts, it is really impossible to open too much learning, which conflicts with Huang Lao Wuwei's thoughts.

Confucius's words may not be worth a sigh, but Lao Tzu is completely different. Wei Wan and Zhi Budo must also face it seriously.

"Your Majesty, in fact, there is another solution to this."

Liu Che smiled: "Then please tell Wei Qing about it?" ”

"This ...... In fact, the meaning of the saint is actually ......"

Wei Juan was sweating profusely and stammering, his head was dizzy and stupid, he didn't know what he wanted to say, he didn't know how he should face it, he would definitely be severely reprimanded by the Son of Heaven for talking nonsense, but he had already stood up, he didn't look back, he had to say something to pass the Son of Heaven's review.

Zhi Budo is also in a hurry. If Wei Juan can't pass this level, the Son of Heaven will be furious and dismissed from office, maybe it will affect the status of several people and even Taixue himself, and he will desperately glance at Cao Shi. Hopefully he'll come out and say a few words.

Of the five people present, Su Guangyi was the least of them, and he was dispensable in the eyes of the Son of Heaven. It belongs to the tired and tired people who are not very entertained, and Hou Xiaosheng is holding a big sign there. In fact, he himself is also a big parallel import, and the Son of Heaven does not have any good impression of him. Don't even expect him to come out and speak, if the answer is wrong, maybe he will be unlucky.

Wei Juan didn't dare to move in the slightest under the emperor's gaze, he was undoubtedly an honest man, Huang Lao's academic level was okay, and his eloquence and wisdom were much worse, giving him three days to write a plausible recital, barely plugging the big hole that Wei Juan had poked, and it was impossible for him to find a remedy for a while.

"陛xià."

Liu Che looked at Cao Shi, only to see him bow down and say: "The minister thinks that the whole truth of this passage is like this, we should not particularly advocate the great sage, so that the people respect each other and there is no difference between high and low status, do not have the heart of fighting and comparison, and do not allow the coaxing of expensive luxuries, so that the people of Li will not have the heart of theft because of huge profits, and do not see the material desires that make people fascinated and degenerate, then the simple folk customs and customs can be maintained."

Therefore, the method of the sage to govern the world should be to appease the people so that they can humbly obey, ensure that the people have no worries about food and clothing, stabilize the hearts of the people, suppress the strong fighting spirit of the people, and train the people's bodies so that they are not humiliatedTherefore, it is necessary to maintain the strict implementation of the Han law and avoid the people from having chaotic thoughts, so that the Han family can always keep peaceful. ”

Good!

Liu Che stood up suddenly, and couldn't help but applaud Cao Shi: "That's a good point!" The general of the chariot is also earth-shattering! Crying ghosts and gods! ”

Wei Juan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he looked at Su Guangyi without doubt, it turned out that the five thousand words of "Lao Tzu" can also be interpreted in this way, it is really unbelievable and unheard of, Xiao Sheng beat his chest and paused, secretly hating Cao Shi, this kid is in the limelight again.

The Son of Heaven was very happy, Cao Shi was able to interpret "often making the people ignorant and desireless, so that the wise people dare not do it", into purifying the simple thoughts of the people, avoiding material desires and evil thoughts affecting the hearts of the people, so that the people who confuse the world have no way to start, then the world is under great rule, and it has to be said that he is a genius.

But he is not talking nonsense, ignorance is not ignorant of nothing, but purified the mind and heart as innocent as a child, the folk customs are as simple as the three generations of people in ancient times, the emperor of the Han family likes to boast of the good folk customs, out of Chang'an City and looking at the people in the Lu are very simple, many Lu Li do not close the door at night and do not pick up the road, the family is in trouble and supports from all directions, the emperor does not do well, in addition to how the people eat and live, there is also a hard indicator of how the people are maintained.

The first emperor Liu Qi, the reason why he was able to increase the emperor Zongjing, the most important credit is to promote the Tai monotheism, it sounds very incomprehensible, but it has a great role in promoting the purification of the people's customs, the people worship the same god to form a broad consensus similar to the Son of Heaven as the lord of the world, and at the same time can borrow the heroic spirit to ensure that every person with merit goes to heaven to become a god, people's desire for the heroic spirit to become a god is extremely strong, this is a desire full of positive energy, the Son of Heaven and the court are very happy for the people to have such a pursuit.

When today's son Liu Che ascended the throne and became emperor. Immediately ordered the top ten cities in the world to take the lead in building the Taiyi Temple, and the Shaofu allocated 2.7o billion yuan as the construction cost. The stones of Longxi were endlessly transported to both sides of the Yellow River, and the stone mountains of Kanto immediately became a hot commodity. The wealthy princes approached the local county government to sign a contract and hired the people to dig the mountain and hew the stone to serve as the foundation stone of the temple.

The enthusiasm of the people is also very high, no one opposes the beautiful temple built of stone, because wood will rot for a thousand years, but stone can be immortal for ten thousand years, the temple is immortal, the incense continues, the incense continues, the gods are immortal, the people expect to make meritorious deeds and become gods, and building a temple is a great merit. They would rather not be paid and want the temple to be immortal.

The Son of Heaven built the temple, the credit can not be compared with Emperor Gaozongjing, the merit of advocating is not his share, only to think of other ways to solve it, since running a school can also purify the mind, the Son of Heaven does not mind letting the people read and write, only need to stipulate that they only need to read a certain part of the book.

Next, Cao Shi designed the idea of running a school for the Son of Heaven, which was really a simple and crude way. The common people only need 2,000 words for daily use, and they only read the official books compiled by the imperial court, which is basically the basic idea of Huang Lao Wuwei and the foundation of Han law. A brief introduction to the mobilization system and its role and a review of the great history can not only carry forward the spirit of the ancestors. It can also reduce the people's criticism of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, adhering to the spirit that if the heart is as pure as a child, distracting thoughts will not be born. Obeying the rules and regulations is only the purpose of teaching, and only distracting thoughts are the purpose of running a school. ”

Cao Shi slowly retreated.

Maracanda (Samarkand). The royal city of the Otsuki people, the shining pearl of the steppes of Central Asia, it was once a famous fortress belonging to the Persian Empire, and finally fell under the iron hooves of Alexander.

A few years ago, it was the royal capital of Bactria (Bactria), but it was plundered by the more powerful Otsutsuki clan as the royal capital, and wandered around the bizarre city, where the Persian style and the Greek style blended perfectly.

Zhang Qian met the king of the Dayue clan and was warmly entertained.

The white old man saluted the wine: "Respected Han envoy, on behalf of the people of the Dayue clan, I would like to pay high tribute to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty!" ”

"Thank you!"

Full of wine slowly drunk, Zhang Qian's face flashed a trace of helplessness, he does not like the sour taste of wine, nor is he used to the royal court of the Dayue clan full of spice aroma and fishy smell, although they live in the city and act like the Dawan people, but the Dayue clan people are still nomadic in their bones, they still live in the grass, the king of the Dayue clan will also wander around with the tribe, and the royal city is just a wintering resort.

Zhang Qian arched his hand and said: "Under the order of the Son of Heaven and the Yue King to form an alliance, the two wings of the attack to destroy the Huns, after the completion of the Yue Clan's ancestral court to your hands, my son of heaven only needs to capture the Xiongnu Shan Yuting Dragon City, and kill the Xiongnu Shan Yu, there is nothing else to ask for." ”

"Hehe, Han envoy, please drink!"

The king of the Dayue clan picked up the wine again and continued to drink, Zhang Qian was forced to pinch his nose helplessly and drink a glass, and said: "Twenty years ago, the national enemy and family hatred are in front of you, I believe you must hold a grudge against the hateful Huns, the opportunity for revenge is in front of you, our Han army has hundreds of thousands of tigers to wait for, as long as the king of the Yue clan sends troops to contain it, our army can then drive straight into the destruction of the Huns, I don't know what the king of the Yue clan thinks?" ”

Kangju's singing and dancing stopped unconsciously, and the bureaucrats who accompanied the guests said goodbye one after another, and only a few important ministers remained at the banquet.

"The Huns are too powerful, we can't beat them."

Pugma whispered, "Mitur, have you forgotten our hatred? ”

Mitur, the king of the Otsuki clan, looked at the flesh and blood brothers of the Otsuki clan, his momentum dropped sharply, and he said helplessly: "I haven't forgotten it, but I can't do it!" ”

"You talk nonsense!"

"What I said is true, our people like Malakanda very much, they like the weak Serbs, the peaceful steppe, no one wants to return to the ancestral land to collide with the Huns, Pugma, you should come too! The brothers of the Xiaoyue clan have migrated over, and we can fight the Great Xia people together and rob them of their food and treasure. ”

"Shameless!"

Pugma said angrily: "The head of the king of the Yue clan was made into a wine cup, hundreds of thousands of Yue clan people died unexpectedly, and those traitors took refuge in the Huns as lackeys, and today even you have betrayed your ancestors, shameful people!" Our ancestors will be ashamed of you! ”

"We really have no choice, there is no point in one or two people fighting the main battle, our people are too afraid of the Huns, even if they are hateful, they don't dare to take revenge, so I'm sorry, whatever you scold, we can't go back." Mitur stood up and nodded slightly, and withdrew with the guards.

Kahuro asked, "What should we do?" ”

"Humph!" Pugma walked out in a rage.

Zhang Qian was extremely helpless in his heart, and after a few days of hard persuasion, the king of the Dayue clan would not agree, even if his father's hatred was cut off and made into a wine vessel, he was willing to give up completely.

The cowardly king, a cowardly minister, led hundreds of thousands of Dayue people to live in the prairie, they are paper tigers who are strong on the outside, and they still have the strength to bully the weak nomads, and they will only clamp their tails and be a lost dog in the face of a real strong enemy.

Although the Otsuki people are still the lions that crisscross the grasslands, their ambitions have collapsed.

Sima Tan groaned: "It seems that the words of the prince before he came out are not wrong, the king of the Dayue clan is destined not to return to the Hexi Corridor, and we can only carry out the next mission." ”

"You mean ......"

"To the west! Pass through Parthia, Seleucus to Rome! That's our ultimate mission! ”

Zhang Qian nodded thoughtfully. (To be continued!)
