Chapter 418: It's the mule, it's the horse, it's the horse that comes out and slips
First, send troops to the southwest and conquer the small countries in the south on a large scale.
Article 2 is to run a large number of private schools, including nine years of compulsory education, after which they will be divided into subjects.
Article 3: Large-scale orphanage homes for the elderly should be set up nationwide.
When they heard this, they all nodded. It means that in addition to the first strategy of the emperor to be discussed, the other second and third national policies are in line with the basic concept of governing the country by the Tao.
Because of these two items, the corresponding theoretical basis can be found from the Yellow Emperor's "Weighing the Scriptures".
These two articles are just practices under the guidance of their theoretical foundations.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang proposed to govern the country with Taoism, the whole country has been rummaging through the classic classics of Huang Laozhixue. The Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor have been read by all the sacrificial wines.
When I was just ruling the country with Taoism, this group of people was very confused.
Because they can't find the corresponding experience from several dynasties in history that practiced inaction, and come up with a governing strategy that is in line with the current Ming national conditions. Because the emperor has long said that governing the country by Tao is not ruling by inaction.
You can't cross the river by feeling the stones.
And in their minds, to a greater or lesser extent, they are deeply influenced by Confucianism.
Therefore, for a long time, they all felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's rule of Taoism might be like the previous Confucianism, just talking about ideals, and only shouting the slogan of benevolence, which had no substantive significance to the Ming Dynasty.
If they are all slogans, then governing the country with Taoism is just a gimmick.
However, I didn't expect that it didn't take long for the emperor to come up with corresponding policies for governing the country and implement them.
"Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty, and his mind is much smarter than ours." Fu Buqian, the giant of the Mo family, said, "We are all in a period of confusion, and he has come up with a clear policy for governing the country."
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? In the Jixia School Palace, I want to talk about the three sages." Gongsun Qilin, the leader of the famous family, said, "To tell the truth, regardless of the identity of the Emperor God King, he can find a strategy for governing the country with Taoism in such a short period of time, and he is indeed worthy of being one of the three sages of the Jixia School Palace."
"Of course, the emperor is worthy of the three sages of the Jixia School Palace, and he is worthy of his name." Su Lin, the leader of the Zongheng family, said, "I'm not patting the emperor's ass, and he can't hear the sycophant."
"The Jixia School Palace is a place dedicated to the study of knowledge, and the most taboo thing is to pat yourself on the back, engage in a personality cult, and be someone else's echo worm."
"The most important thing in academic research is criticism."
"The more intense the criticism, the greater the progress."
"Yes, yes." The crowd said.
"I'm just telling the truth." Gongsun Qilin continued.
"The emperor started from the lowest peasants and finally became the emperor, which is the only one in history. Of course, he has a great vision and great talent, otherwise he would not have achieved such great things."
"Such a person should be a sage, and he can be regarded as worthy of virtue."
"Uh-huh." The crowd nodded.
Where are the records of others, what else do you have to say?
If you want to talk about the problem, Emperor Zhu's is lower than anyone else.
"Let's talk about the Queen." Gongsun Qilin said, "Her kindness and character are also well known, so I won't repeat them here. She has recently been working to improve the status of women in the Ming Dynasty, and he is the first female champion in history."
"Banning women's foot binding across the country is also her decree."
"And she has recently established the Yingtian Women's College in Yingtianfu."
"She is also fully worthy of the three sages, and she is worthy of her position."
When the crowd heard this, they were all stunned.
I feel a lot of pressure on my shoulders.
The dean of the Jixia School Palace, Qin Yu, needless to say, he is the founder of the Jixia School Palace.
One of the three sages, Zhang Sloppy, is a "loyal and filial piety immortal."
The other two sages, one started as a beggar and finally became the emperor.
and the other is the queen who has made great contributions to the women of the world.
That is to say, to go to school
The dean of the palace, the three sages, all of them are top figures, and they are full of brilliance.
All of them have great achievements.
And these people don't seem to have made any good results.
They pale in comparison to the four people above their heads.
Let them feel that if they don't make any achievements, they are a little unworthy of staying in the Jixia School Palace as a sacrificial wine. After all, Jixia School Palace is the think tank of the Ming Dynasty and the think tank of the Han family.
If you can't make achievements, you don't deserve.
Even Vice President Liu Bowen has a brilliant record, although he can't compare to the above four.
Back then, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the hundred schools of thought were very brilliant.
There is no such situation of being crushed by others.
They feel as if their genre is really in decline. As the leader, I am a little sorry for the sages of the academic school, Xu Xing, the founder of the farmer's family, LĂź Buwei, the founder of the miscellaneous family, and Bian Que, the founder of the medical family......
"Don't be discouraged, you don't have to be discouraged." Seeing this situation, Liu Bowen said, "Now the opportunity for you to vigorously develop your own school, make contributions, and create more brilliance for your own scholarship has come."
"Didn't the emperor already order that the whole country should run private schools?"
"This is giving the common people the opportunity to educate."
"Then the emperor asked me to tell you to sacrifice wine, and send outstanding disciples of your academic school to set up schools in various provinces across the country. From among the common people, select outstanding talents and strengthen your school."
"Is that what the emperor really said?" The crowd listened and were pleasantly surprised.
In the past, they could only recruit disciples in secret, and it was difficult to recruit them. Because the emperors of all dynasties have suppressed hundreds of schools.
And now, Emperor Zhu not only allowed them to recruit disciples openly, but also provided them with a great opportunity. The vast number of people in the Ming Dynasty have a large population base.
In such a large base of people, there are definitely many young talents recruited.
In a few years, their genre will grow.
"This is the emperor's holy decree, how can it be false?" Liu Bowen said, "The emperor's move is the real mastery of carrying on the saints. In the eyes of the emperor, the saints are the sages who founded your school, not Confucius and Mencius."
"In addition, the emperor will also grow after your school grows. Let you go to the provinces and govern them with your ideas."
"It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip away."
"If you govern well, the emperor will give you greater opportunities for development."
"If the governance is not good, the emperor will be held accountable and even banned."
"I don't want the academic schools of your respective beliefs to disappear in your hands, do you? If it is not well governed, then this school of doctrine will surely become a laughing stock of history in the future."
"It's an opportunity, and it's a great test!" When the Mo family giant Fu Buqian heard this, he said excitedly,
