Chapter 332: A Hundred Schools of Thought Contend
Among the many books left by Li Si, the most exciting thing for Li Yuan was such a twist, but its age seems to be a little long, and even the bamboo slips themselves are yellow.
It can be seen that this is an excerpt that Li Si asked Chen to give to the first emperor in the early years, but for some reason, it was not submitted, and the matters that need to be clarified in the bamboo slips are closely related to the current drastic changes in the new Qin.
"There is no class of education, office and school, and the poor children are recruited-!" It should be said that as a disciple of Legalism, Li Si was able to incorporate the teachings of Confucian Confucius into his own speech, which was a surprising move.
But it's a pity that Lees didn't stick to the end.
However, his opinion on universal basic education made Li Yuan very touched.
This time, the riot of the foolish people in Hanzhong, on the surface, was that the rebels were bewitched by the legend of the cult of the Ying clan, but fundamentally speaking, it was due to the weak basic education, in other words, the people had no culture, and when they encountered an inexplicable astronomical natural phenomenon, they attributed it to the gods and demons, and this just gave opportunists like the Ying clan an opportunity to take advantage of, so if we want to curb such incidents as riots and rebellions in the Qin State, we must give the people the right to read and write.
Daqin's public school.
After several rounds of fighting, it has long been deserted.
The officials in charge of education in each county and county were generally concurrently served by Ling Shi and Gongcao, but with the ups and downs of the Qin state, the original institutions had long been broken, and the new officials were busy dealing with the huge and complicated daily affairs after they were in place.
Of course, this is also related to the current national strength of Qin. Xinqin, who has just gained a little confidence, has not been able to completely popularize education in all counties, not only because of financial resources, but also because of lack of manpower.
Legalism is the Qin doctrine of governing the country.
But there are not many children who inherit the doctrine of Legalism in this era, among the hundred schools of thought, the largest number is Confucianism, followed by the Lao Zhuang school, and then the Zongheng family, most of these people belong to the Kwantung clan, and let them sincerely serve the Qin State. It's going to take a little bit of time.
In general, Li Si is a talented and flawed person, he is not the kind of person who can dedicate himself to his ideals, and when his actual interests and ideals conflict, his choice is to endure and retreat.
And such a character weakness, during the reign of the first emperor with a strong personality, the monarch and the minister were strong and weak. It happened to form complementarity, and in the period of Qin II, Zhao Gao waited for an opportunity to seize power, and Li Si was forced into a dead end in the forbearance again and again. What happened next in the Qin State. Not only the tragedy of Li Si personally, but also the tragedy of the entire Qin State.
How to open public schools and attract talents from all walks of life with limited financial resources. Cultivating elites that belonged to the Qin State itself was something that Li Yuan needed to consider in the long run.
Shenwu Marquis Mansion.
Chen Ping and Li Zheng, the two important ministers who stayed behind, were respectively summoned by Li Yuan to the study in the mansion. Small-scale deliberations like this are necessary, because after all, Li Yuan's teaching proposition is only a proposal, and how to implement it and what difficulties it will encounter in the process of implementation have yet to be demonstrated.
"Regarding the matter of public schools, I have an idea, according to the current financial resources of the counties, it is impossible to popularize the establishment, but we can carry out pilot projects in some large counties, so that the financial resources will not be too much, as for the children of the poor families, they can be guaranteed by the three elders of the county pavilion, as long as they have excellent grades in the examination, they will be exempted from the cost of food and lodging, of course, such as the state regulations of conscription, etc., before there is no official official, it must continue to perform." Li Yuan said.
"Wuhou, the key to this office school lies in the people who teach, and now all the people in the counties who have a little talent have been excavated, except for those who live in seclusion in the mountains, or run their own private schools, it is really difficult for us to find suitable teaching talents." Li Zheng looked puzzled.
As an assistant to Chen Ping in internal affairs, although Li Zheng has been dragged down by Li Si's funeral these days, he is still very familiar with some specific situations in political affairs.
"Why don't you order all counties to post announcements in the county town to encourage people of insight from all walks of life to join the school, as long as there is really learning, then everything else can be ignored, and everything else will not be investigated?" Li Yuan thought for a moment and said.
"What if it is the remnants of the thieves, or the Confucian scholars, or the rhetorical debaters?" Chen Ping asked.
"Don't worry about these things, if the Confucian comes, let him talk about Confucianism, and when the debater comes, let him talk about the art of tongue debate, as for what he says, whether the students are willing to listen to it or not, then leave it to the students to choose, so that the problem of this gentleman should be solved." Li Yuandao.
"Wuhou, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, Great Qin ruled the country by law, if these gentlemen were allowed to talk nonsense and shake the foundation of the Qin State, it would be bad." Chen Ping shook his head and said.
"Chen Xiang, you are a little preconceived, in the past, you studied in Weidi, and what you learned was not the art of law, but now that you are the minister of state, how can you be jealous of the words of the hundred schools of thought, the words of the hundred schools, each of which has its own essence, of course, there are some dross, we set up an office, Mr. Professor, is to let the essence of the hundred schools of thought be passed on, and those things that are out of date, we can limit them in the lesson plan, and at the same time, try to let these gentlemen talk less and not talk about it." Li Yuan smiled and replied.
"Since Wuhou has confidence, then I'll wait for this to happen. This matter was handed over to Lieutenant Li Lang to be personally responsible. Chen Ping nodded in agreement.
Li Zheng is the son of Li Si, and he is also the leader of the current Legalist doctrine, and he is the leader of the school, which can just play his role as an academic leader, and at the same time, with his identity, he can also suppress those who try to make a profit on their tongues.
A riot in Hanzhong.
Unexpectedly triggered Li Yuan's reflection on the education system of the Qin State.
The follow-up impact of this school will become more and more obvious in the next few years.
However, Li Yuan didn't care about paying attention to these long-term things now, because an urgent report from the Wuguan Military Intelligence Department allowed him to explore the truth about the riots in Hanzhong.
Yan Le entered Hanzhong as early as the end of December, he was a sword ranger in his early years, and he also traveled in Hanzhong, this time he revisited the old place, and he only brought a few henchmen with him, and in the discovery of going deep into the chaos again and again, Yan Le found out that there were signs of the mixed mob of the Chu people.
And the next more detailed discovery surprised him.
The figures of Guo Ting and Zhang Ping appeared in the ranks of the refugees, although these two people did not rank high on the list of the Qin State Military Intelligence Department, but as generals and colonels of the former Han Army, their names Yan Le remembered clearly.
Yan Le, who felt that he was about to get close to the truth, was excited at the same time, and sent more people to infiltrate all parts of Hanzhong, and at this time, the old pious woman of the Ying family appeared in a very high-profile manner.
Win's.
Others may not know what she did in Xianyang, and Li Yuan's hatred for this old pious woman who ruined his relationship with Ying Yushu, Yan Le is very clear.
Back then, it was he who ordered the Ying clan and his son to be pushed down the Weishui, creating the illusion that they had fallen into the water and died, but now a year has passed, but he doesn't want the Ying clan to make a comeback as a god and witch and bring a serious threat to the Qin State.
"The rioters in Hanzhong, with the Shenwu clan as the most, according to the scouts, this blind so-called Shenwu is undoubtedly the Ying clan, in addition, in the Liumin army, the traces of the former Han army generals Guo Ting and Zhang Ping were also found, from which it can be judged that the possibility of the Han State rebels in the middle is not ruled out——!"
Seeing Yan Le's military intelligence report, Li Yuan finally couldn't sit still.
After some consideration, he decided to take the pro-army troops from the direction of Lantian Pass to the Wuguan area, on the one hand, to urge all departments to step up the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the enemy, on the other hand, he also wanted to know more clearly, who the Chu people who participated in the Hanzhong riots were, whether they were just the remnants of the Han State, or whether there were people from Western Chu and Eastern Chu.
