Chapter 228: How Brilliant That Would Be
"In the previous wars, the 5,000 soldiers who had made the most meritorious contributions each had a recommended quota, and the recommended objects were limited to their immediate family members...... You can also enroll in the academy on your own. The quota is valid for 10 years, as long as you hold the notice and relevant documents within 10 years, you can enroll. ”
Zhao Kuo thought that many of Zhao Guo's soldiers were relatively young, less than twenty years old, and added another sentence.
As for immediate family members only, it is to avoid the place being occupied by others. The increase in the time limit to 10 years will prevent some soldiers from having to sell their places to others or waste them because they have no children.
"Does an adopted son count?" Lin Xiangru threw out a question.
An adopted son is not a parent, but legally speaking, an adopted son has the right to inherit and is considered an immediate family.
Normally, the adopted son will only be adopted if he does not have a parent, and the adopted son is generally through a formal adoption ceremony, certified by the clan or government, and passed over to continue the incense, and the adopted son needs to change the surname to the surname of the adoptive father, such as Liu Bei adopted Kou Feng, and Kou Feng changed his name to Liu Feng.
More are successions between the same clans, such as Yuan Shao, there is no need to change the surname.
Under normal circumstances, there is nothing wrong with this, but once interests are involved, there will be serious problems. For example, in order to obtain a place to enter the academy, some clan elders and tycoons forcibly buy and sell, and forcibly pass their children over to occupy this place. After entering the academy, the relationship between adoptive father and adoptive son will be dissolved.
In the end, these soldiers risked their lives to win a place for themselves and their descendants, but others took possession of it.
Don't underestimate this place, for the vast majority of ordinary people, reading is the only chance in their lives to change their fate.
"There are also brothers who have passed away, but the brothers' children are raised by them, and they have not been inherited by the clan, but they are the same as their own children, if the soldiers want to give up the quota to their brothers' children, what will happen in this situation?" Xunzi said.
Zhao Kuo really didn't realize this problem before, in the era of war, Xunzi said that this situation is not everywhere, but it can also be said that such examples can be found everywhere.
"Today is the boundary, the adopted son who passed before can get the recommended place, but not later. If the brother dies, the brother's children are raised by them and they can also get a referral. At this time, Zhao Kuo thought of another possibility, "If the father dies and the brother is young and has not yet separated, he can also get a recommendation." ”
"So, it's possible." Xunzi nodded.
As for how to implement it, it can only be strictly reviewed.
"In addition, the nobles of my Zhao Kingdom can also have one of their children enrolled in the academy to study. Of course, if there are nobles who don't look down on official learning, they can also give up, and the king will not force it. Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
The king laughed. The corners of everyone's mouths twitched a little, how could there be a nobleman who gave up the quota.
Although most of the aristocratic families have private schools, neither the teachers nor the teaching materials can be compared with Handan College, at most, the official school teaching is not as fine as the private school.
However, there is no conflict between official and private schools, so it's a big deal to finish official school and then go home to 'make up classes'.
"As for the remaining places, all my Zhuxia people, regardless of country, regardless of age, regardless of gender, as long as they pass the assessment of each branch, they can be enrolled." Zhao Kuo said solemnly.
Several ministers frowned when they heard this, but none of them said anything to refute it.
Anyway, you have to pass the assessment of each branch to be enrolled, as for who has the final say in the assessment, it's not them, just don't let the woman go during the assessment.
There is no need to object now.
"Have you invited all the sake from each academy?" Zhao Kuo looked at Kong Bin and Kong Chuan.
There is no way, their Confucian family has a big face, although it has not yet reached the point of descending generations of saints, but its influence is also incomparable, and all walks of life, all countries and families have dealings.
Whether it is an old man living in seclusion in the mountains, or a family that does not care about the world, such as the Shi family, the Yang family of the Yang Zhu School, etc., they can all be contacted.
At that time, the Yang Zhu school and the Mo family went hand in hand, known as the world's two great scholars, and even overpowered the Legalists and the Mo family, Mencius once said, 'Yang Zhu Mo Zhai's words are all over the world, and the words of the world do not belong to Yang, that is, to Mo. ’
This shows the prosperity of the two schools.
However, because the Yang Zhu school thought too much 'for me', people did not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, and Mencius described it as "plucking a hair and benefiting the world" and refused to do it.
Such a school was destined not to be liked by the rulers, and was finally eliminated by the Mo family and swept into the dust of history, and now only a few people represented by Zhan He are still practicing.
Zhao Kuo, as the monarch of Zhao Guoguo, naturally did not like this doctrine.
But then again, which of the hundred sons has no defects? Which one is pleasing to the rulers?
When they choose to assert themselves, they are doomed to be repressed. When they choose to flatter and pander, they are destined to become tools.
In order to cater to the rulers, the Legalists eventually led to the tyranny of the Qin state.
In order to cater to the rulers, Confucianism eventually became a stinking Confucianism.
At that time, they were also high-spirited, and they also dreamed of changing the world and creating an ideal Datong society, but in the end they finally sank into the quagmire of reality, decaying and rotting......
The rest of the Mo family, the farmer, the famous family, and the vertical and horizontal family do not need to be said.
Zhao Kuo never wanted to integrate all the doctrines into one, which was impossible to do.
A single Confucian, after the death of Confucius, was divided into non-mathematical schools, and they all played out with each other, and no one could unify them, let alone the hundred schools of thought.
As for the deposition of the hundred families and the exclusive family, Zhao Kuo did not plan to do so.
Hundreds of schools, who dares to say that they are right and others are wrong?
If Confucianism finally wins the competition, must he be better than the other schools?
The more they discern it, the clearer it becomes, and let them fight for it.
When the world is big, it's a big deal to give them a small piece of land like a farmer, and let them govern it by themselves.
Didn't you say you were right?
Then do it, this king will not only not stop you, but will support you.
Anyway, all thoughts are my Huaxia thoughts, as long as you agree with the unity of Zhuxia and the Zhao State as the sect, then you are my Zhao people.
"If I can't do it better than the Qin Dynasty in history, then what's the use of me as the King of Zhao? Just surrender to Qin. ”
In the past, Zhao Kuo's idea was just to live, as for the people in the world, do his.
But after becoming King Zhao, perhaps because of his self-esteem, or maybe because his values have changed, Zhao Kuo has something called a sense of responsibility.
He felt that he had a responsibility and an obligation to pass on the ideas and doctrines of the sages.
At least we can't wait until thousands of years later, when all the classics are lost, and future generations can only guess and speculate from a few words......
Just one Confucianism can support a thousand years of prosperity, if every thought can be preserved intact and continue to progress, how brilliant it would be!
