Chapter 122: Government and Civil Studies

Talking to Ma Hanshan is not worthy of me, Long Guangning can do it, but change the law... He really didn't know if he could do it.

For the emperor of feudal society, the reform... That is, the change of the law, which is a matter of change of color that they talked about, and there are few successful changes in history. Even if the change is successful, it will be scolded by those sour and rotten Confucians for thousands of years, for example, the first emperor has been scolded as a tyrant, but if there is no violent change of the first emperor, how can the development of those subsequent dynasties be?

In Ma Hanshan's view, no matter how the first emperor changed the law, his unification of writing and weights and measures is the basis for the development of contemporary and subsequent dynasties.

Therefore, the "scientific gate" weights and measures of Mahan Mountain in Wagang Village are also one of the reforms.

Of course, if the reform of the tile pot village is known to those officials and Confucian officials in the court, they must be criticized orally and written, and even pressure the court to deal with it. Therefore, there are only two ways to go in Mahan Mountain, one is to keep the tile pot village in a closed state, but if the tile pot village is to be rich, this is difficult to do. Another way is to let the tile pot village develop extremely fast, and develop strong enough before those who cling to the old know the situation. Of course, in the process of development, it is more necessary to find backers and friends, and when they are strong, they have enough friends in the government and the opposition, and those rotten Confucians who cling to the old ways can't move if they want to.

It would be safe to fool the powerful civil and military ministers in the court into allies, and the emperor Lao'er into a backer.

However, Ma Hanshan ignored one point, while he fooled others to become allies or backers, he also fooled himself into it, because there is nothing in the world that can always be unilaterally needed or unilaterally benefited.

For example, now, he has been chatting with the emperor for more than an hour, of course, the emperor was deceived by him, and he thought very highly of him, believing that he would not be rejected if he wanted to ask the emperor now. But at the same time, he was also "targeted" by Long Guangning, originally Long Guangning wanted Ma Hanshan to serve the imperial court, with the help of his military training methods or something, and now Long Guangning directly regarded him as the grasp of the great praise of recovering the rivers and mountains.

In a word, he was targeted.

The two chatted with each other, and before they knew it, the time had come, and Ma Hanshan, who hadn't eaten breakfast well, had already growled in his stomach.

"Your Majesty, isn't it time to ask someone to pass the meal? Or should we break up? Ma Hanshan finally couldn't help it.

"Ah, I... No... It's me... I forgot... It's past noon... I still can't disperse, I still have a lot of things to ask the mountain watcher, I'll ask someone to bring something to eat. Long Guangning was mentioned by Ma Hanshan like this, and he also felt hungry.

Pastries are available at any time, and lunch has actually been prepared a long time ago, but the emperor said not to disturb, Dong Qian didn't dare to come up to ask for orders, and when he heard the emperor coming, he immediately knew that the emperor was going to eat, and the eunuch who delivered the meal came quickly.

"Dong Qing, have you eaten? I still have to discuss the scriptures with the master of Kanshan, so I won't go back to the palace so soon, so let's take turns to eat. "Long Guangning is indeed a good emperor, and he actually thought about whether the people waiting for him had lunch.

"Back to the emperor, the guards are all in shifts." Dong Qian was moved to respond.

"Well, put things down, you all go down." Long Guangning drove the people who were waiting away, and actually fiddled with the food himself.

The food looked very good, but it made Ma Hanshan frown, it was too unpalatable, it was better to eat a few pastries to cushion his stomach.

"Your Majesty, please use it slowly." Ma Hanshan put down his chopsticks and said.

"Huh? Look at the mountain master so fast? Long Guangning only ate two bites, Ma Hanshan was actually full, he didn't even feel that Ma Hanshan was disgusted with these "imperial meals" unpalatable.

"Your Majesty, there is a saying that time is money, efficiency is life, and the little monk thinks so. Those rotten people even have a lot of rules for eating, which is a waste of life. Therefore, if you want to be strong and prosperous, the little monk feels that these stereotypes and bad customs must be changed. "I don't know how the literati offended the owner of Ma Dazhai, and even found a reason to criticize them when they ate.

"Hehe, Master Kanshan seems to be very dissatisfied with the ancestors." Of course, Long Guangning didn't just find out about Ma Hanshan's problem now, but he didn't say it until now.

"The emperor is wrong, I'm not dissatisfied with the ancestors, I'm just dissatisfied with some pedantic, old, and useless old rules and bad habits. Of course, there are good things in the thought of the ancestors, but there are also bad things. Moreover, with the development of the times, many things that were very good at that time may no longer be suitable for the current era. Blindly clinging to those old ideas hundreds of years ago and thousands of years ago, Da Song will not have a future, human beings should always move forward, and everything that is not suitable for the era should be discarded ....... "Ma Hanshan left an era, and the right one abandoned, and said that Long Guangning was dumb again.

Long Guangning is so dumb because he really doesn't have the courage or the ability to give up those things that Ma Hanshan thinks are not good.

It's been engraved in people's bones for many years.

Of course, Ma Hanshan also understands that it is too difficult for a feudal emperor to overthrow the cornerstone of his throne.

However, he believes that there is one thing that Long Guangning can do, and that is the talent selection system, that is, the imperial examination system.

Dasong's "college entrance examination" system, it should be easier to change it to play the "college entrance examination" in the eight strands of literature. The so-called eight-strand essay is a formatted writing method, a crossword puzzle-style writing method. Ma Hanshan didn't read much in his previous life, but he knew the disadvantages of this kind of "college entrance examination", prescribed format, and let people play crossword puzzle-style selection, can he select people who are really talented and learn? It's a game that pits too many talented people.

What's worse is that the officials are selected by filling in this game.

"I... I also know that there are a lot of things out of place, but... I can't help it....... Long Guangning thought for a moment, put down his chopsticks and sighed.

"Your Majesty, it may be really difficult to give up quickly, but you can use the natural elimination method." Ma Hanshan felt that there was no practical result after chatting with Long Guangning for a long time, and he planned to fool the emperor into running a school.

Of course, now the imperial court also has schools, what county schools, state schools, schools, etc., the highest school is Taixue. But all this and that, the "readers" learn the same, four books and five classics, poems and songs. Ma Hanshan believes that these toys are spiritual, can be learned, and can be used to cultivate temperament and harm the taste of life, but using these things to enrich the country and strengthen the army is simply a matter of seeking fish.

Therefore, he wanted to fool the emperor and legalize the "folk studies" he ran, and legalize these disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, politics, and economics that were considered "sideways" by the corrupt Confucians, so as to cultivate people who could enrich the country and strengthen the army.

Of course, his selfishness is that these "sideways" folk studies have been legitimized, and his science is about to go to a higher level. Because, no one can compile textbooks or teach these modern folk studies, only people in his science can understand them.

This is the natural elimination method of Mahan Mountain, which is essentially the interest elimination method.

This is the natural elimination method of Mahan Mountain, which is essentially the interest elimination method.

Studying modern folk studies, not to mention not being an official, but making a living is easier than others, and easy to raise is richer than others, who will hold those tattered "sacred studies" research?

"Natural elimination? What does that mean? Long Guangning found that the more he talked to Ma Hanshan, the more he found his "ignorance".

In fact, Long Guangning is also an all-rounder in this era, and he feels ignorant because the words or things Ma Hanshan said are from another time and space. In this era of time and space, all the advanced and scientific in the eyes of Ma Hanshan have been labeled as sideways, and even if they are not banned, they are extremely despised. It is also because of this that more than 100 inventions and creations after the founding of Dasong were almost not applied and turned into productive forces.

"It's the survival of the fittest, so that people choose naturally." Ma Hanshan said.

"What do people choose?" Long Guangning means that there is no choice.

"Running a school, running a modern folk school. Let people learn physics, chemistry, mathematics, economics, politics and other modern knowledge ....... Ma Hanshan looked at Long Guangning and said, "Whether the four books and five classics can enrich the country and strengthen the army or these modern folk studies can enrich the country and strengthen the army, just try it." ”

In fact, you don't need to try, the tile pot village is an example, but Mahan Mountain can't let people visit the tile pot village now.

"Running a civilian school?" Long Guangning repeated, his face dazed.

"It doesn't have to be official, the official only needs to include folk studies in the 'college entrance examination'... Oh... It is included in the imperial examination. Ma Hanshan nodded and said.

"It's not difficult to open up schools, but it's too difficult to include them in the imperial examination, and now all literate people are people who support and benefit from the current imperial examination system, and suddenly let them compete with the subjects they have been abandoning and looking down on, and they will stop it even if they are desperate." Long Guangning knew very well how those so-called scholars would react.

"Alas, if they have such a strong will to invaders, how can they be so." Ma Hanshan sighed and said, "Then I will try the palace test or not, and add the content of civil studies to the liberation test." In addition, we recognize academic qualifications of the civil system. ”

"Civil education? Also, what are physics and chemistry? Is the economy a business? Do you need to open a course in business? ……。 After all, Long Guangning is a person who has been influenced by the idea of "sage", even if he is enlightened, he still looks down on business, and thinks that it is too nonsense to open a subject in the economy.

"The civil education is the academic qualification of the civil school, such as graduating from primary school, graduating from junior high school... College graduation and so on. In fact, the so-called civil academic qualifications, also talked about here, Ma Hanshan brought it up by the way, he never thought about how to formulate academic qualifications, for him, this kind of thing is not his consideration, so he casually took the academic level of his previous life, and then continued, "As for the discipline, physics is the object that Confucianism looks down on, and chemistry is the science of mutual reaction of materials, which is very important, with chemistry can you get more new items, such as charcoal, sulfur, saltpeter into gunpowder......." ”
