Chapter 61: Enlightenment Teacher

The Jixia School Palace was founded by King Qi Wei during the Warring States Period.

Originally, the original intention of the rulers of Qi to establish the Jixia School Palace was only to recruit talents and consolidate their rule.

But Jixia School Palace does not ask about origin, regardless of whether it is high or low. Whoever enters the Jixia School Palace can freely express their academic thoughts, and the system that anyone has the opportunity to enter and study in it has broken the monopoly of the aristocracy on knowledge for a time.

That's why.

The former Jixia School Palace once promoted the prosperity of the culture of the entire Central Plains, and also became an academic center for a hundred schools of thought.

It's a pity that the essence of Jixia School Palace is a tool for the ruler of Qi to consolidate his power after all, and as the national strength of Qi gradually grows, after the tool loses its effect, it will naturally be abandoned.

Nowadays, although there is still the former site of the Jixia School Palace in the territory of Qi State, it has basically existed in name only.

Obviously, when Mo Jun said that he wanted to 'reopen' the Jixia School Palace, he did not really want to reopen the Jixia School Palace in Qi State, but to build another one that was the same as the former Jixia School Palace······

No.

Even a larger academy than the former Jixia Academy.

And his purpose is naturally not as simple as just disseminating scholarship and cultivating talents.

It has been said before that if you want to develop a country's cultural strength, you must first solve two problems.

The first is to break the monopoly.

The second is to solve the problem of communication.

Now that there is a 'blank slate', the second problem is no longer a problem.

If Mo Jun now builds another academy similar to the Jixia School Palace, then even the first problem will be solved.

This result sounds wonderful.

But the problem is that those with vested interests will not allow such a college to be built so easily.

Why is there a recommendation system?

The existence of the election system itself is actually to allow those high-level nobles to completely monopolize all upper-class resources, and under such a system, these nobles can ensure that their descendants will always be nobles.

And of all these upper-level resources, 'knowledge' is undoubtedly one of the most important.

"Mo Qing really wants to do this?"

Ying Zheng, who saw Mo Jun's thoughts, looked a little more solemn.

Although when Mo Jun took out the 'blank paper', Ying Zheng had already faintly felt that Mo Jun might make a big move, but this courage was still a little beyond Ying Zheng's expectations.

However, what makes Ying Zheng admire even more is Mo Jun's mind, you know, if this kind of academy is really launched, then it is undoubtedly a good thing for Ying Zheng, the ruler.

Because it means that Yingzheng will no longer have to be constrained by those 'clan groups'.

But in comparison.

This is not necessarily a good thing for Mo Jun.

Because Mo Jun, who is the Great Qin Shengping Monarch, is now one of the vested interests in the 'knowledge monopoly'.

"Yes!"

Mo Jun's answer was concise and to the point.

Mo Jun doesn't know the benefits of 'knowledge monopoly' for himself? Of course he knew, but he also knew that if the Qin State wanted to develop further, then such a 'knowledge monopoly' must be abolished.

The most important point is that the original intention of Mo Jun to invent the 'white paper' and propose the reopening of the 'Jixia School Palace' is actually not as noble as Yingzheng wants.

The reason why Mo Jun did this is actually very simple.

It's just for revenge.

After the previous 'Jin Youjun case', more than seventy percent of the courtiers in the court of the Qin State joined forces to take the opportunity to give him a stab in the back.

It's been more than a month now.

Those people may have forgotten about this matter, but Mo Jun remembers it clearly.

He has never had a big heart.

Generally, if there is a vengeance, it will often be avenged overnight.

And this time, Mo Jun endured it for more than a month, the purpose was to give these guys a big one and let them have a long memory.

This time is different.

After offending Mo Jun in the past, Mo Jun's revenge was at most to kill a few people, and in a more serious case, it was to raid the house and destroy the door.

But this time, although Mo Jun did not kill anyone, his actions were digging up the roots of those aristocratic forces.

And the academy that Mo Jun wants to open is not so simple, even Yingzheng probably only thinks that Mo Jun opened the academy to break the 'knowledge monopoly' of the aristocracy.

Yet actually.

What Mo Jun really wants to do is to overturn the 'election system' of the entire Qin State at the moment.

However, this needs to be done step by step, so there is no need to rush too much for the time being.

Ying Zheng didn't know what Mo Jun was thinking now, but he had to admit that after listening to Mo Jun's suggestion just now, he was really moved.

One hand Moser held a book in his hand, and a pair of deep eyes flashed again and again.

A moment later.

I saw Ying Zheng's eyes slowly close, and then opened them again, as if he had made some kind of decision. The whole person suddenly had a majesty belonging to the emperor, and said solemnly.

"Where does Mo Qing plan to build the academy?"

"What does the king think?"

"Although the widow also wants to set up the academy in Xianyang, it is a pity that it ······ Since this matter was mentioned by Mo Qing, then the site of the academy should be placed in Hanzhong! The widow will then send a guard to guard it, and anyone who dares to make trouble during the construction of the academy can be killed. ”

When he said the words 'can be killed' at the end, a trace of coldness suddenly flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

With the power in hand, the national strength of the Qin State is thriving, and now Yingzheng has more and more the majesty of the 'First Emperor' in his gestures. Once a decision has been made, there will be no further hesitation.

"The minister commands." Mo Jun hugged his hand and saluted.

"Another ······"

At this moment, I only heard Ying Zheng's tone change, and then his face softened a little, and he looked at Mo Jun and said, "Since Mo Qing plans to establish an academy, then the widow also has one thing he wants to ask Mo Qing." ”

Mo Jun hurriedly bowed down and said, "The king said it directly." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "The widow's eldest son, Fusu, is now at the age of enlightenment. The widow intends to let Mo Qing become the enlightenment teacher of Fusu, I wonder if Mo Qing can agree? ”

Speaking of which, this matter is actually a decision that Yingzheng has just made.

As the eldest son of Yingzheng, it is no surprise that he will also be the future successor of the Qin State, and the enlightenment of the eldest son Fusu is naturally a first-class event for the Qin State.

If it is according to the past practice, the teachers who enlightened the eldest son of the Qin State are generally famous scholars all over the world.

The previous candidate for Ying Zheng was Chun Yuyue.

Chun Yuyue was born in the country of Qi.

Like Fu Nian, both of them are famous Confucian scholars, and even in terms of fame and learning, Chun Yu Yue's knowledge may still be above Fu Nian.

In today's world, I am afraid it is second only to the 'Xunzi' who has been retired in Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

Moreover, Chun Yuyue joined the Qin State not long ago, he was innocent, and he did not have too much influence in the court, so if he was the enlightenment teacher of Fusu, he would be a very suitable candidate.

But when Mo Jun just mentioned the matter of 'founding a college', Ying Zheng suddenly realized that there was a more suitable candidate in front of him.

It will not be a problem to teach a child's enlightenment in just one year to teach a child the enlightenment of a child in the poor land of Hanzhong, which is thriving and well-organized.

And compared to Chun Yuyue, Fusu can learn more from Mo Jun.

The only flaw.

It is probably that Mo Jun is too powerful now, and it is not a good thing to let the eldest son of the Qin State come into contact with a court minister like Mo Jun too early.

But in the end, Ying Zheng still chose to believe in Mo Jun.

Being able to become the teacher of the next successor of the Qin State is undoubtedly a great thing for any Qin courtier.

However, after listening to what Ying Zheng said, Mo Jun did hesitate and said: "Back to the king, it's not that the minister is unwilling to teach Shang Gongzi, it's just that the minister is from a homeless background and doesn't understand literature. If you let the minister teach Shang Gongzi, the minister is afraid that Shang Gongzi will be delayed. ”

As soon as these words came out.

Not to mention Ying Zheng, even Gai Nie, who had always been paralyzed next to him, couldn't help but dilate his pupils slightly, and looked at Mo Jun incredulously.

Don't know literature?

When these words came out of the mouth of you, the Great Qin 'Saint Ping Jun', don't you feel sorry?

Ying Zheng was obviously shocked by Mo Jun's words, and squirmed his lips several times, but in the end, he didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, it's just enlightenment, it doesn't cost Mo Qing much knowledge, just Mo Qing needs to 'understand a little' about it."

When it came to the last word 'slightly understood', Ying Zheng obviously accented a little.

······

"Mr. Zhao, my lord, dinner is ready."

The voice of Hei Yu came from outside the door at the right time, and when Mo Jun heard this, he immediately turned his head to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, why don't I wait for a meal first?" ”

"Good! I have long heard that there are a lot of delicacies in Shengpingjun's house, and now the popular 'stir-fried vegetables' and 'exotic vegetables' in Xianyang are all from Shengpingjun's hands, it seems that I have oral today! ”

Ying Zheng replied with a smile.

Mo Jun stretched out his hand and said, "Then Mr. Zhao, please." ”

The dinner in Mofu has always been in the dining hall, because there are many people in Mofu now, so Mojun specially asked the people of the Gongyi family to create a huge rectangular dining table.

However, there are not many people dining in Mofu today, because recently, many people have something to go out.

For example: Bear big, bear big.

In addition, the Moon Girl left during Mojun's grounding period before, and she has not returned yet.

Originally, many people in the Mo Mansion were a little worried about the whereabouts of the Moon Girl, until not long ago, the other party replied with a letter, informing everyone that she needed to go out for a while, and everyone was relieved.

Besides.

The three masters and apprentices of the medicine ghost and Jian Ling'er have also entered the critical moment of their respective retreats.

Fortunately, Yingzheng went out on patrol this time, so there were a little fewer people eating in Mofu during this period, maybe it would be a good thing.

After today's dinner knew that Yingzheng had arrived, Mo Jun had specially ordered the kitchen, so it was quite sumptuous.

When Ying Zheng walked into the dining hall, his expression was normal, but when he saw all kinds of fruits and vegetables on the dining table, his eyes suddenly widened.
