Chapter 13: Breaking the Bamboo (13) [Ask for Subscription]
Revision of books is a big deal, but to what extent? After hearing the news, all the scholars in Xianyang City, or the world, all let go of the things in their hands.
No matter what they're doing. The next moment, the reaction of all of them was the same, those who were not in Xianyang City immediately came towards Xianyang City; The people in Xianyang City immediately came in the direction of Baijia Palace.
For the time being, it has not been completely divided into the Baijia Palace. All the doctors gathered together, all beaming with joy on their faces, and they looked at the man sitting in front of them.
Chen Ke. These doctors looked at Chen Ke as if they saw a piece of fat, and wanted to disassemble Chen Ke into their stomachs.
Chen Ke looked at the people sitting below and their expressions, and said with a slight smile on his face: "You have all heard about it, right?" Your Majesty has ordered me to preside over the revision of the book. His voice was so calm, not even heaving, as if he didn't know what a huge thing it was.
But no one here dared to take this matter lightly. Yan Kun immediately nodded slightly, with a mixture of happiness and appreciation, joy, excitement and many other emotions.
"Back to the Prime Minister, we've already heard about it."
"I just don't know what kind of charter this book is? Which one and which genre is the leader, and which one is the main one for the compilation of the book? Which of the main schools are you studying? Yan Kun looked at Chen Ke and directly asked this answer that everyone was curious about.
But at this time, although the other people felt that Yan Kun had asked this question well, they didn't dare to show it on their faces, because they didn't dare.
Afraid of angering Chen Ke. There were even some people from small schools who spoke up at this time: "What is Dr. Yan talking about?" ”
"The compilation of books is naturally based on the Mo family from which Prime Minister Chen was born, and Your Majesty should also have this idea, otherwise how could Prime Minister be the designated person for book repair?" The man looked at Chen Ke cautiously, not knowing if his little flattery was seen by Chen Ke.
And Chen Ke just smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the books that His Majesty wants us to cultivate now are different from the books you have seen in the past, so there is no need to discuss which school is the main one." Chen Ke stood up, looked at everyone, and then said softly: "There are three sets of books edited this time. ”
"Each set of books has a different quantity, which corresponds to a different stage of the person." Chen Ke looked around: "For some children and Mengtong children in the people, we have to edit the following basic books, and we must conduct a certain screening to screen out articles suitable for enlightenment. ”
"One: Qin language."
"Twenty articles were selected from the Qin language, and these twenty articles collected the strengths of hundreds of schools, and some of the hundreds of articles were selected, which did not involve the political ideology of the authors, and selected some articles that persuaded people to be good and taught people to behave norms." Yan Kun said thoughtfully: "For example, the prime minister's? Chen Ke nodded slightly: "Yes, for children of this age, the most important thing is some literary, linguistic, and literate enlightenment, and it is absolutely not allowed to instill some schools of thought into them during this period." Speaking of this, Chen Ke's eyes were a little cold: "If I find out that I have such selfish intentions, then from now on, no matter how many times the book is reprinted, this school of articles will not be allowed to enter the student books again!" As soon as these words came out, those present who still had some little Jiujiu in their hearts and felt that Chen Ke was busy and would not be discovered, immediately restrained their careful thoughts in their hearts.
After all, if you continue to be careful, you will be provoking this prime minister, and once you are discovered, you will never be allowed to enter the books in the future, which is equivalent to being blocked!
This kind of big gamble, few people dare. Seeing everyone's reactions, Chen Ke softened a little and said, "Of course, it's just the children at this stage." Chen Ke said with a smile: "The second is. "Arithmetic?
Everyone present was a little dazed, in this era, arithmetic has not yet appeared in the real sense.
During the Han Dynasty, that is, around the first century AD, Zhang Cang corrected the nine chapters of arithmetic and formulated the calendar, but even at that time, this was not a study that could be entered.
But at this time, when Chen Ke brought it up, none of the people present dared to refute it. Of course, this is also expected by Chen Ke.
First of all, his position is here, and no one dares to question it at the risk of offending him; Secondly, he presided over the editing of books, refuted him at this time, questioned him, even if he agreed, then who knows if he will secretly stumble when editing books in the future?
Last but not least. During this period, there was no such thing as "high-class" learning, or what was learning.
Confucianism has never grown, and hundreds of schools of thought contend. For these students and scholars in the pre-Qin period, it is probably equivalent to one more dish.
The world's knowledge is like dishes, and every scholar is a guest who tastes the dishes. Now there's one more dish, just try it.
Chen Ke's expression was rare peaceful, he looked at the people present, and said with a smile: "In fact, no matter what, there are still few people who can really become and continue to study. ”
"So it doesn't hurt for children to learn arithmetic."
"That is, the most basic arithmetic, so that they can distinguish the numbers, the most basic addition and subtraction, etc." Yan Kun opened his mouth and asked: "We don't know much about arithmetic, I don't know if the prime minister already has a candidate in his heart?" Chen Ke nodded slightly: "Prime Minister Li Sicheng and Dr. Zhang Cang know about arithmetic, so I am ready to ask these two to preside, Prime Minister Li Sicheng is the main one, and Dr. Zhang Cang is the auxiliary." Hearing the names of Li Si and Zhang Cang, everyone present did not have any objections.
Especially the Confucian people. Because although Zhang Cang and Li Si are representatives of the Legalists, they are also disciples of Xunzi, which is a mark that they cannot get rid of throughout their lives.
"The third is." Chen Ke glanced at everyone and continued: "This is the book used by children before the age of ten to start their education, and it is also the last of the first set of books that we need to compile. He sighed and said, "This book is the most difficult book to compile. ”
"I will invite His Majesty the First Emperor as the editor-in-chief, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prime Minister Li Si, Mr. Wang Xuan, and me as the deputy editor-in-chief, and Dr. Yan Kun, Dr. Zuo Ge, Dr. Yan Zhengchun, Dr. Liu Si, Dr. Gongsun Kun and other doctors as editors and editors." As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
ps: I was tired last night, and I didn't seem to send it out. Why, what, what? Today's in the afternoon.
