What kind of science does it really look like? It is necessary for so many important people to edit together, and it is even more alarming to His Majesty the First Emperor?
Everyone present is you looking at me, I look at you, with a confused look on their faces, and even the few people named by Chen Ke just now were at a loss, as if they didn't know anything.
Someone below couldn't hold back and asked, "Dare to ask the prime minister, what kind of science is this so-called?" β
"What kind of book is it?"
"Why do you want to alarm His Majesty the First Emperor and gather so many great sages?" There is no problem with this person's questioning, and they don't know the specific editing list yet, because the name that Chen Ke said is followed by a word, indicating that it is not just the people mentioned earlier.
But, let's see. The people who just ordered it are enough to prove the importance of this matter.
Not to mention His Majesty the First Emperor. Just say someone else. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the disciple of Prime Minister Chen Ke, now exists above 10,000 people under the Great Qin, and has even begun to supervise the country and participate in some court politics, and is the future master of the Great Qin.
Prime Minister Li Si can also be said to be the only one among the hundreds of sons and the only representative of the Legalist sages who was born.
It can be said that no one in the world can claim to be more representative of Legalism than Li Si.
Based on Li Si's achievements now, even if Han Fei is alive and Xunzi is resurrected, it cannot be said that their status and knowledge will be more profound than Li Si.
Yan Kun, the orthodox descendant of Confucianism in the Great Qin, the only descendant of Confucius, and one of the current leaders of Confucianism.
Liu Si, the current leader of the farmer's family. Gongsun Kun, the current leader of the famous family. It's just that the few people who appear on the list already include some of the leaders of the major schools of Great Qin today, not to mention that one of the deputy editors-in-chief is Chen Ke?
Who is Chen Ke, does he need to be introduced again? Therefore, everyone began to pay attention to this and wanted to know what he symbolized.
Chen Ke looked at the confused and slightly nervous looks of the crowd, and smiled, he knew what these people were worried about.
In fact, to put it simply, they are afraid of Chen Ke to create a new one. The Hundred Schools of Thought are now competing for their right to speak in Great Qin, and they are desperately working for Great Qin, just to be able to spread their genre further.
All the dog's brains are coming out now, but none of them can really occupy the mainstream position.
Why is that? Because except for Legalism, all the other schools helped Daqin when they were not established in Daqin, so it can be said that Legalism is the foundation of Daqin, and Qin Law is the biggest hole card of Legalism.
No one can veto Qin Law, because if Qin Law is vetoed, Great Qin will inevitably be in chaos. But will the rest of the schools, such as Confucianism, Taoism, Moism, Peasants, and other sub-schools, give up?
Of course not. In fact, these genres have long since begun their own counterattack. For example, Confucianism. At the beginning, Confucianism took the route of being enemies of Great Qin and Legalism, but since the people of the Confucian family were driven out, and since the last time the rebellion of the Six Kingdoms led by Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang and others was hanged, Confucianism has taken the route of simply integrating into Great Qin and making enemies of Legalism.
Based on the Baijia Palace, they began to faithfully complete the tasks assigned by the First Emperor. Some Confucian leaders also began to enter the grassroots politics of Daqin, and really saw those low-level leaders of the Qian, and began to serve the Qiantou, instead of standing high and evaluating how to govern the country.
Confucianism changed from governing the country to governing the people, which was their change and their counterattack. Today, almost three-tenths of the local county guards of Daqin are Confucians.
Among them, there are several representative leaders, such as Sanchuan County Shou Shi Xuanni, Hedong County Shou, Shangdang County Shou Zeng Lu, and Meng Qiu.
In the central part of the imperial court, there are also doctors from Baijiagong, Yan Kun, head of Wengong, Xiao He of Shaofu, Cao Shen, a first-class clerk of the Prime Minister's Office, and Chen Ping, director of the Manufacturing Administration.
These are all Confucian people. And the Mo family's counterattack came from the very beginning, and their counterattack was to send Chen Ke to Daqin at the beginning to explore whether everything here could allow the Mo family to integrate.
Later, after Chen Ke gained a firm foothold, he brought his senior brother, Zuo Ge and Lin Fang and others occupied this advantage, they were high and did not compete with Legalism, Confucianism and others.
But no one can ignore their status, not to mention that they are perfectly integrated into the three institutions, which have almost become the private reserve of the Mo family and the public losers.
The Taoist family came the latest, but it was still the only disciple of Lin Jing, the most famous disciple of Lin Jing, the most famous disciple of the Warring States Period, who came out.
He is now the palace chief of the Hundred Family Palace. Lao Zhuang and the like are not popular in today's Daqin, and Yan Zhengchun has not found a way or opportunity to become famous for the time being, so he walked by Yan Kong's side.
Taoism and Confucianism are already entangled, after all, Confucius went to find Lao Tzu to ask, he can be regarded as half of Lao Tzu's student, so Yan Kun and Yan Zhengchun hit it off.
The farmer is even more of a chicken thief. They were directly embedded in one of the places that Great Qin was most unlikely to abandon.
Whether it is the planting, development and promotion of new grains, or the planting and promotion of spices, or the promotion and planting research of cotton, it is all from the farmers.
It can be said that these schools have already exploited thousands of loopholes in the Legalists when they were unable to spare their hands.
Even for a behemoth like a Legalist, it would be terrifying to face so many opponents at the same time.
So now Legalism has formed a delicate balance with the rest of the many schools. However, these people are also afraid that this balance will be upset.
For example, there is a significant character who has created a new genre, and this character is very scary, and this genre is very huge.
When this genre emerged, was there anyone else's way to live? Of course, it is difficult for such an important figure to appear, and even if it does, it may not be possible to create a genre with one's own thoughts.
But coincidentally, there is really such a person in today's Great Qin, who has both a pivotal position that can change Great Qin, and enough ideas to create a school...... He is Chen Ke.
Chen Ke, born in the Mo family, his friend Li Si is the only leader and representative of the Legalist family, the Confucian Xiao He, Cao Shen, Chen Ping, Meng Qiu, Shi Xuanni, etc. can be said to be his students, the rookies of the farmer, the future leader Bian Shuli is Chen Ke's student, the future controller of Daqin, the current crown prince is his student, the Great Qin general Han Xin is his student, the Great Qin general Wang Jian is his old friend, and the current controller of the Great Qin, His Majesty the First Emperor, is his confidant.
Two-thirds of the county guards in Great Qin now claimed to be his protΓ©gΓ©s, and three of the officials of the rank of Jiuqing were his students.
The more people thought about it, the more frightened they became. Such a person, if they really want to start a new faction, they only have the share of admitting defeat, and they don't even have the courage to resist.
Since then, there has only one school and only one doctrine in Daqin, and that is Chen Ke's doctrine. Everyone is considering, if Chen Ke really created a school, will they surrender and join now, or will they surrender and join after a while?
However, when everyone had already begun to think about it, Chen Ke's words pulled them all back.
I only heard Chen Ke speak: "You don't have to be so nervous. He smiled, and there was even a smile in his tone: "The reason why Dexue gathers so many people, and even alarms His Majesty, is not because he is a newly created doctrine. β
"It's just because it's important."
"The Analects of Confessions" says: "If you don't cultivate virtue, you can't learn it." β
"Pipe: Mental Art": "The house of the virtuous person is the house, and the thing can be born." ββ
"Lao Tzu": "The Tao is born, the virtue of the animal, the form of the object, and the potential is formed." It is to respect all things and honor virtue. ββ
"Zhou Yi Qiangua": "The husband is in harmony with heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon are in harmony with the moon." ββ
"What is the virtuous? It is the most basic character quality, the most basic moral prototype, so that children at this age can learn in order to develop an excellent character and become a real "person". β
"That's why morality is the most important thing."
"Chinese cultivates children's literacy and cultural literacy, arithmetic gives them the ability to earn a living, and moral learning keeps these children from growing crooked." He looked at the people present, and as he expected, the expressions of everyone present calmed down.
Because the examples cited by Chen Ke include several schools, such as Confucianism, Taoism, and even vaguely famous, vertical and horizontal schools.
So these people are honest in an instant. This proves that Daqin has no way and will not get rid of them.
So a group of people began to tout: "I see, I see, what the prime minister said is reasonable." β
"Cultivate children's abilities and character from an early age, so that when they reach adulthood, they can be at peace as much as possible."
"I can also work hard for Daqin." Chen Ke nodded slightly, and seeing that everyone had no opinions, he continued to speak: "Then there are people from the age of ten to fifteen. β
"At this stage, after learning the previous three subjects, they have begun to gradually understand and have some concepts of their own, so they can start to add some other things to this subject." Chen Ke looked around at everyone and threw down the bait he had carefully prepared for them.
"For example, some political concepts, ideologies and doctrines about various schools."
"Isn't there a Confucian Mencius? This article pays attention to sacrificing one's life for righteousness, what is righteousness? Isn't it patriotism and serving the country? I think this article can be included in the language subject books of this time period. Chen Ke smiled and turned his head, and gave some other examples, trying to appease most people.
Then he said: "In addition to the language as before, the two subjects also continue to exist, but the name of moral studies has been changed, and it is also necessary to incorporate some basic Qin laws into it." β
"After that, this kind of subject, merged into a subject, can't let the scholar only know how to read dead books and become a nerd." Everyone nodded, they had already got what they wanted, and of course they began to support Chen Ke.
Chen Ke continued: "As for the future, it's the university course. His expression was slightly serious: "I believe everyone knows that the Baijia Palace is about to be split into three parts, the university, the Education Department, and the research institute." β
"Wait until the next court meeting, everyone will know what harmony is, as for the university, it is still the most basic function of the Baijia Palace, teaching and educating people."
"It's just that when the university is actually established, the university will be divided into several colleges, and different colleges will have different functions and teach different knowledge."
"You'll find out later."
"There will be a lot of courses in the university, so there will be a lot of books, so we won't think about it for a while."
"So now the focus is on the books from the first two phases."
"Do you understand?" Chen Ke's voice was serious, and the rest of the people also cooperated, as for the university books?
Now it's all about holding the most important things in your hands!
.......... The winter of the fourth year of the First Emperor is coming soon, and before the arrival of this winter, the first thing the leaders of Great Qin feel is not cold, but warmth.
Why is there warmth? Because of the gradual development of the Qin currency bank, because of the policy of Daqin towards businessmen, it is lending.
The former allowed the people to save money with peace of mind and even have better money and currency, while the latter set off a wave of construction.
Most of the merchants began to donate large sums of money for their own status and to be able to do better business, and most of this money was used for local infrastructure.
Some places have even begun to be built in a sense. And because these schools were built by the imperial court, his control was in the local imperial government, and even because the money came from the government, the local governors in various places recruited students in order to curry favor with the upper echelons, and the tuition fees were very low....... What's even more interesting is that with the development of the Qin Coin Bank and the development of merchants, the functions of the Qin Coin Bank began to gradually derive.
It's more like the future. It's just that this bank has always been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and in the case of the upper layers of control, the biggest difference between this and this is that the Qin Coin Bank is responsible for all the problems, and it will never happen that it is obviously the Qin Coin Bank's own fault, but it is thrown to the head of Qian.
Because it was said above. In one case, the governor and the clerk concerned were dismissed and stripped of all power for ten generations.
Including but not limited to participating in the literary anthology, applying for universities, Baijia Palace, participating in the selection of scribes, dividing the land according to the head account, and opening an account in the Qin Coin Bank, etc.
......... In front of the land of Dongyue, the army lined up.
