Chapter 387: New Learning

The matter of the trap beast is put aside for the time being.

With their current technology and level, no matter how urgent they are, they can't do it, so they can only let the people of the Mo family study it slowly.

"I'm going to go on my second tour, what does Wu Anjun think?"

Ying Zheng changed the topic and said: "This time, I want to tour the east and seal Mount Tai." ”

The Eastern Tour is finally here.

Bai Zhongzuo said: "Your Majesty's tour of the world is to promote virtue and prestige and stabilize the world, and the ministers naturally agree, when does Your Majesty plan to go on patrol?" The minister should also make corresponding arrangements. ”

Ying Zheng knew that Wu Anjun would not oppose him, and said: "I haven't thought about the specific time yet, but I have an important thing to tell Wu Anjun." ”

Bai Zhong asked curiously, "May I ask Your Majesty, what's the matter?" ”

"Wu Anjun should still remember that when you proposed, you proposed to integrate all the schools of thought and doctrine of all the sons, right? Not long ago, this was done. ”

"The widow arranged more than 100 people such as Li Si, Wang Xuan, and Zhang Cang to participate in it, collect the classics of all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought in the world, gather the strengths of hundreds of schools, and compile them into a new idea."

"I decided to call it Xinxue."

"Wu Anjun's Mohist school did a very good job, and later Zhao Gao imitated the Mohist family, and the Legalist school established also has a certain scale, which is also good."

"Should I also set up an academy for the sake of new learning?"

Ying Zheng looked at Bai Zhong with a smile.

He also asked a lot of knowledgeable people to read the new learning, and they all agreed that the compilation of the new learning was very good, and it not only gathered the strengths of all the sons and hundreds of schools, but also removed the conflicting parts, and formed the ideas that included not only governing the country and the principles of life, but also agriculture and astronomy.

A new school, including hundreds of schools.

Ying Zheng felt that he had created a great feat.

After several years, Bai Zhong's proposal at that time actually became a reality, and said: "The minister believes that it is necessary to establish a school to promote new learning, Linzi has Jixia School Palace, and we can have Xianyang School Palace." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Wu Anjun is right, my school is called Xianyang Academy. ”

"But a Xianyang Academy, the minister thinks it's not enough."

Bai Zhong added: "Xinxue, only spread in Xianyang, is not enough to compete with the hundred schools of thought, and it is difficult to spread all over the world. ”

These words made Ying Zheng ponder for a moment and asked, "What does Wu Anjun think I should do?" ”

Bai Zhongdao: "It may be a little difficult to let the school palace spread all over the world, and now all over the world, but it should not be a problem for each county to set up one, and the purpose of the minister is to let everyone in the world have books to read and be literate." ”

The whole world is so big, to be completely covered is a lot of expenses.

Ying Zheng considered his own finances, thinking that each county should be able to afford a school, and asked: "What is the use of letting everyone in the world have books to read and be literate?" ”

Bai Zhong explained: "There are two advantages, one is that there are more literate people, they can understand the law, familiarize themselves with the Qin law, and the number of illegal and criminal matters can be effectively reduced, and the other is about the selection of officials. ”

Ying Zheng asked with interest: "How is reading and literacy related to officials?" ”

Bai Zhong said: "Our Great Qin's official selection system, in addition to His Majesty's rewards, as well as the guest secretaries recommended by various officials, is mainly promoted through military merit titles, which is very restrictive, if everyone in the world can read and write, Your Majesty can change the method of selecting officials." ”

"How?"

"Formulate an assessment system, so that all the scholars in the world can select talents suitable for governing the country through assessment, regardless of their background and rank, as long as they have the ability, they can be used by His Majesty."

Bai Zhongzuo said: "What these people have learned is Your Majesty's new learning, they will be Your Majesty's protΓ©gΓ©s, if they can become officials, it will be Your Majesty's gift, they are grateful, and they are willing to obey Your Majesty forever!" ”

Ying Zheng thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he instantly realized the benefits of this matter.

After the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the hereditary system of officials had long been abolished.

Usually, those officials are selected from some scholars, or they are recommended by other officials as guest secretaries and staff, and these people may not necessarily be grateful to the emperor.

Officials who have been promoted through military merit and titles do not necessarily have the ability to govern the country, and even some soldiers with higher titles do not even know the words, that is, they kill the enemy more ruthlessly, and it is difficult to help him govern the world.

This evaluation system, choosing officials among the people of the world, seems to be a good practice.

"Well, well said!"

Ying Zheng couldn't imagine that the new school and the academy could be so useful, and said: "I will immediately arrange people to implement this matter." ”

Bai Zhong said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be in a hurry, you should first set up the Xianyang School Palace, announce the new school to the outside world, let the Shaofu print a large number of new schools, send them to the current scholars, and then start to implement the schools in each county." ”

Yingzheng is indeed a little anxious, and wants to complete the whole thing immediately, but many things have to be done step by step, and he said: "I will do what Wu Anjun said first, but I am ready to let Wu Anjun serve as the sacrificial wine of Xianyang Academy, how about it?" ”

Bai Zhong shook his head and refused: "The minister will only lead troops to fight, and in terms of learning, he doesn't know anything, but he is afraid that he will be incompetent, but the minister recommends Zhang Cang, he has the ability to serve as a sacrificial wine." ”

"Zhang Cang!"

This person, Ying Zheng knows.

In the past, Bai Zhong was not in Xianyang, so he asked Zhang Cang to be responsible for teaching Fusu, and he really had a lot of knowledge.

"Just Zhang Cang!"

Ying Zheng decided to reuse this person, and said: "I will let people preach new learning, and then find people from Shaofu to build Xianyang School Palace, and Wu Anjun is the first to take credit for this matter." ”

Xinxue and Xuegong, as well as the assessment and selection of officials, were all proposed by Bai Zhong.

Without Bai Zhong's thoughts, they couldn't think of doing this yet.

"The minister does not dare to take credit indiscriminately, it is the credit of His Majesty."

Bai Zhong said.

Ying Zheng said: "The whole world is mine, what do I want so much credit for?" ”

After that, he looked at the machine beast on the school ground, and continued: "The matter of the Mo family and the machine beast also needs Wu Anjun to be responsible, this thing, when I let people move to the place where the strong crossbow is made, you can study it carefully." ”

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "The minister and the Mo family will not disappoint Your Majesty!" ”

These things were quickly settled.

Ying Zheng asked Bai Zhong to step down first and began to prepare to promote his new learning.

Bai Zhong left the school yard and did not go home, deciding to meet Fusu, and he hadn't seen them for a long time.

"Big brother!"

Bai Lan was holding the child, and when she saw her brother coming, she ran over happily.

Fusu came out of the house and made a disciple salute: "Teacher! ”

"Let me see the kids!"

Bai Zhong was very relieved to see them so happy, Fusu is a person worthy of trust, at least the current Fusu will not become the Fusu in history, with an army of 300,000 in the north, and will commit suicide.
