Riding back to the mansion, a guard immediately stepped forward to tell Ji Qingchen that Master Saijiu had been waiting for him in the study for a long time.

The current sacrifice wine of the Great Yan Kingdom is Ye Qingzhi, and the secretary is the fourth prince Lu Wang Jiwen. When Ji Qingchen heard that it was his uncle waiting for him, he immediately turned over and dismounted and hurried to the study.

Ye Qingzhi in the study was drinking tea, and when he saw Ji Qingchen, he was about to give a salute, but Ji Qingchen stopped him, "Uncle, my own family, don't be polite in the future." ”

Ye Qingzhi is also a free and easy person, seeing his nephew say this, he was very happy in his heart, so he didn't insist anymore.

"I went to my uncle's house yesterday, my uncle was not there, and the people in the house said that my uncle has been very busy recently, I don't know why Lu Dao came to find Qingchen today?" When Ji Qingchen sat on the main seat and the maid served tea, he opened the door and asked.

"Because of the imperial examination, there are a lot of things to do in the country during this time, and it is indeed busy." Ye Qingzhi said. However, although there was a tired look on his face, he was very energetic, and he obviously liked this feeling of busyness.

"The Ministry of Rites and Rites examination has ended, and the top three rankings of this year's imperial examination have been determined, is there anything else in the Guozijian?" Ji Qingchen asked puzzled.

"Not that problem. But King Lu entered the Guozijian, he felt that there were problems in the current teaching of the Guozijian through investigation, and wanted to change the existing teaching model, so he discussed with the old man, who had also thought about this before, and felt that the existing teaching physique was problematic. discussed the problems in this regard with King Lu's news, and he will be so busy in the past two days. Ye Qingzhi said bluntly.

"Does the uncle want to change the existing teaching system with the fourth brother?" Ji Qingchen was also surprised, he didn't expect that Ye Qingzhi and Ji Wen had just entered the Guozijian Palace, just like reforming the teaching system, so he muttered, "I don't know if Uncle Lu Dao has ever thought that Dayan's teaching system has existed for hundreds of years, and it may be difficult for you to change this problem at the moment!" ”

But to be honest, he himself is not very satisfied with the current teaching system of Guozijian, which is a bit rigid and rigid, and he can't cultivate useful talents at all. Just like the poetry meeting I attended today, all of them are people who only write poetry and have no real talents, let these people govern Dayan, what amazing achievements can they expect them to make?

"yes!" Ye Qingzhi sighed and said, "But this is also the real reason why the old man is willing to join the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, that is, he wants to change the existing teaching mechanism and find a way out for Dayan to cultivate talents, and now King Lu also has such an idea, no matter how difficult the road is in the future, the old man does not want to let go of this opportunity." ”

Ye Qingzhi's tone of voice was very firm, this was determined to participate in the reform with Ji Wen. And after listening to Ye Qingzhi's words, Ji Qingchen also understood the real reason why Ye Qingzhi was looking for him, Ye Qingzhi was showing him his determination so that he could be supported, and now Ji Qingchen is in an important position, and he has lived in the Privy Council, he can indeed be regarded as a person who can speak in the court.

Ji Qingchen naturally would not refuse his uncle's request, but he was not a reckless person now, he groaned for a while, and said cautiously, "I don't know if Uncle Lu Dao and the fourth brother have discussed any solutions?" It would be nice if there was a detailed reform programme. ”

"There is already a preliminary plan in this regard, specifically ......" Ye Qingzhi introduced to Ji Qingchen, and handed over the reform plan he drew up with Ji Wen to Ji Qingchen. Ji Qingchen first listened to Ye Qingzhi's narration quietly, and only after Ye Qingzhi finished narrating did he open the reform plan and began to read it carefully, and found that the content above was written in great detail, mainly around the problem of how to cultivate and select talents in schools and imperial examinations, and put forward four programs for cultivating talents of "education, upbringing, taking, and appointing":

"Teaching" is to cultivate talents. It is necessary to establish a school system from the central to the local level, so that "the affairs of the court, etiquette, music, and criminal administration are all about learning." In this way, we can cultivate talents who can be used by the world and the country.

"Raising" is to give reasonable treatment to talents. That is, "spare it with wealth, make an appointment with courtesy, and judge it with law". It is necessary to ensure that talented people have adequate material treatment, and at the same time restrain them with systems and moral norms, and punish those who violate them according to law.

"Take" is the selection of talents. It is necessary to pass the recommendation and selection from the bottom up, and after strict assessment, "and then make officials according to the size of their virtue and talent."

"Ren" is to appoint talents. It is necessary to appoint people to appropriate positions according to their expertise, and "make them able to carry out their will" and give full play to their talents. As long as you are competent, you should be stable and do not move frequently; If they are incompetent, they should be resolutely recalled.

After reading the content of these four articles, Ji Qingchen is calm, but he is still frightened. Because he knows very well that if the reform can really succeed, the implementation of the above four articles will inevitably break the situation of monopolizing talents and court officials for hundreds of years by the big families in one fell swoop.

This is a bold and challenging reform plan!

Taking a deep breath, he continued to look down at the content of the charter, and the following content was the specific method proposed by Ye Qingzhi and Ji Wen to revitalize the school: First, reform the Guozijian system.

It is to implement the three-round method in the Guozijian, and divide the students of the Guozijian into three levels: the outer house, the inner house, and the upper house, and the students will be promoted in turn according to their academic level and through the assessment.

The first admission is a dormitory student, and the original unlimited quota is equivalent to a preparatory student or an audit student. The outer house is promoted to the inner house, the inner house is promoted to the upper house, and the upper house has a capacity of 100 people.

Usually there are records of conduct and academic inspection, and the "private examination" is held by the professor every month, and the "public examination" is held by the Guozijian every year.

There are 200 students in the inner house, and every two years the Ministry of Rites and the Guozijian will hold the upper house examination, and those who pass the examination and ordinary performance can be promoted to the upper house in turn. Among them, those who are outstanding in learning and doing can be judged by the Guozijian and recommended directly to the political affairs hall, the Privy Council, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, etc., which is equivalent to the imperial examination and the first.

Others can be exempted from the provincial examination according to their academic performance, which is equivalent to reducing the procedures of some imperial examinations. The implementation of the three-round method strengthens the functions of the college, directly links the study and future in the school, thus effectively ensuring the daily teaching and making the coursework and examinations of the college education more standardized.

Ye Qingzhi and Ji Wen's long-term goal is to gradually replace the imperial examination through the three-way method.

Second, the promulgation of the "New Meaning of the Three Classics". In order to unify the scriptures, Guozijian should set up a scripture and righteousness bureau, and revise the three scriptures of "poems", "books" and "Zhou Li". It was then officially promulgated by the imperial court and became the standard textbook on which official examinations and lectures were based.

The third is to build a vocational college to train human resources with a skill. For example, the establishment of a martial arts academy, the enrichment of Dayan's armament, the establishment of a law study, Zeng Qiang legal supervision, such as the establishment of a medical college, and divided into the square pulse department, acupuncture department, ulcer department, set up a professor, hundreds of students, etc.

Fourth, it is necessary to expand and rectify local government schools.

The first is to set up state school officials, the appointment and dismissal of school officials are directly controlled by the Ministry of Rites, and they are fully responsible for managing local teaching tasks. The imperial court also allocated school fields for local colleges, thus providing a guarantee for the maintenance of state and county colleges in terms of material conditions. Just like the states "give ten hectares of school field as learning food, those who have insufficient original learning fields will benefit, and those who will listen to it as before." "It is necessary to set up school fields in all prefectures, solve the problem of insufficient funds for state colleges for many years, and create favorable conditions for the long-term development of state and county colleges.

After reading the above content in one go, Ji Qingchen was silent.

Because this plan for reforming the Guozijian involves the interests of the family, it is a fierce medicine, if you are not careful, it may lead to the disgrace of the reformers and the loss of their lives. At the same time, there are too many issues involved in this reform, even in the peacetime of Dayan, Emperor Yan may not agree, let alone in the current time of war?

However, just now my uncle had solemnly stated his attitude, which made it difficult for Ji Qingchen to dissuade him. He could only ask in a low voice, "What does the fourth brother think about this plan?" ”

"King Lu means that as long as His Majesty agrees, he is willing to be this reformer." Ye Qingzhi said.

"Fourth brother really said that?" Ji Qingchen is blind, the fourth prince Ji Wen has always been gentle and elegant, and he is a person with a weak personality, when did he become so strong?

"Because this is the reform plan jointly proposed by King Lu and the old man, King Lu will definitely be very attentive, which the old man can see." Ye Qingzhi said.

Regarding Ji Qingchen's attitude towards paying attention to Ji Wen, Ye Qingzhi is very understandable. After all, if Ji Wen wanted to take advantage of this reform to push him into the abyss, it would not only involve his life, but also involve Ji Qingchen's plan to fight for savings, and he could not be careless.

"This plan can be made a little better, but it is not appropriate to propose it to my father and emperor now, as for the reason, my uncle should be clear." Ji Qingchen muttered, "And what Qingchen means is that you can wait a little longer, make full preparations in the early stage, and wait until next year Dayan defeats Beirong and recovers Liaozhou and Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes!" Ye Qingzhi also nodded and said, "Now that Dayan is in crisis, it is indeed not the best time to reform the Guozijian. As if thinking of something, Xiang Ji Qingchen asked, "Are you so sure that you will definitely defeat 200,000 elite cavalry Beirong next year?" ”

"Uncle, Beirong is already at the end of the crossbow!" Ji Qingchen said with a smile.

Ye Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly showed joy, and he asked eagerly, "According to what you say, Liu Wen has already agreed to go out of the mountain?" ”

"Liu Wen didn't agree to assist Qingchen, but the others have already arrived in King's Landing." Ji Qingchen said, "Why does Uncle ask this? ”

"In the world, except for Liu Wen and Liu Boji, who can judge the number of qi of a dynasty in one word?" Ye Qingzhi said, with a very serious attitude, "We can't ignore this Yin and Yang technique that has been handed down since ancient times!" Now that Liu Wen has left the mountain, he must have his own plans, and you can't neglect him. ”

"Uncle, please rest assured!" Ji Qingchen said. Ye Qingzhi had a lot of time, so he said goodbye to Ji Qingchen and left!
