Li Kuan always felt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism for cultural unification, in fact, he wanted to target the nobles who had educational resources and cultural knowledge at that time.

But he never expected that the surviving nobles all had Confucian knowledge in their hands.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, when Confucius started school, they engaged in a number of Confucian cultures.

Of course, it's not that they have the ability to predict the future, it's purely because they're greedy and want everything.

Some of these interested families, and some of them became the earliest shareholders of Confucianism, and although the shares were not much, they did account for the shares.

Therefore, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone, none of those families were afraid, and they directly took out the Confucian culture from their own treasury, changed it, and then clothed themselves.

It's awesome.

Of course, although these things are not secret, they are not in the history books, which is why Ma Zhou did not know.

There are many things that only the Maison knows.

Ma Zhou listened to Li Kuan's explanation, and his face was quite ugly.

"In other words, the group of families that have been handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period, they are all very experienced."

Shrugging his shoulders, Li Kuan said flatly: "Not only the ancient families, but also those families that have been handed down from the Han Dynasty are also very experienced, and most of them have inherited the inheritance of the ancient family." ”

"As for the roots of the inheritance, of course, I got it when I raided the house."

Reality is not fantasy, and the combat power of the family is not determined by the time of existence.

Although some families have an ancient heritage, it does not mean that they are strong in combat.

Let's take Yingchuan Chen as an example, the ancestors have produced Wang Mang, Sima Sui Tho, and the big man who has done the things of Dai Qi.

Such a family can be said to be awesome and powerful, and the inheritance is old enough.

But in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they were still pressed and beaten by the Runan Yuan clan.

Miserable batch.

The real world family is your generation, and if you don't have talent, you have to be unlucky.

With talent, your family can be awesome.

In this way, many old families were killed by emerging families, and then the family education and so on were inherited.

After taking the family study, you will naturally get the history recorded by yourself within the family, and you will know many secret things.

"I can basically tell you that it is impossible to get the people and the children of the family to stand at the same starting point."

"This kind of thing can never be realized."

Li Kuan said very calmly.

If you don't calm down, you can't do it.

He travels through the pre-era era as proof of this.

The strength of the family is not the same, no matter how hard the country works, the children of the family and the children of ordinary people cannot stand at the same starting point.

At the same age, the children of the family have begun to learn various leisure activities and begin to understand high-end knowledge.

Such resources cannot be given by ordinary families.

Also at the age of twelve, the children of the family have begun to carry out the riding and archery in the six arts of the gentleman.

But can the children of the people do it?

is also fifteen years old, and the children of the family have followed the adults in the family to study business, political and cultural contact, and go to the wilderness to try, or the kind that does not have to worry about problems in the family.

But what about the children of the people? They can't do that, and learning about it in business alone requires a lot of financial support.

It's not like you can make up for it by running two small businesses on your own.

If you do a small business, the money fluctuates and dies in dozens of runs, and people casually say that one piece is a business of thousands and tens of thousands.

The fundamental gap is the hardest to bridge.

Li Kuan knew this very well, so he took universal education from the beginning, not elite education.

Elite education requires investment in too many things that he can afford.

If Datang takes elite education, then no more than a hundred people can be cultivated every year.

The state doesn't have that many resources for them.

There is a good saying, why are those big people at the time of the founding of the country from better backgrounds, because their talents are really supported by their families.

A certain great superman, in the period of youth study, in order to see the scenery of various schools, changed schools once a month, and the tuition fee of changing schools once a month is a big ocean, the kind that does not return.

It was a time when the people didn't have enough to eat and couldn't wear warm clothes, and he changed schools more than a dozen times a year.

There are also a large number of students studying abroad, and their money comes from family support.

This is the most basic gap, and it is also the gap that cannot be bridged.

Ma Zhou's face was quite ugly, he knew that Li Kuan was giving himself face, so he would explain to himself little by little.

Taking a deep breath, Ma Zhou asked something else.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Old man Wei Zheng has always held part of the right to education in his hands, and he is waiting for your reply."

Li Kuan's eyes flashed, and the group of old men had all retreated cleanly, only Wei Zheng had always held part of the right to education.

He didn't pursue it, after all, education must be the responsibility of the elderly.

Now that Ma Zhou suddenly spoke, he guessed that this was a group of old people led by Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou who came to ask for a solution.

In the blink of an eye, Li Kuan said seriously: "In the future, education will take the route of popularization, and the huge number of people will accumulate talents. ”

"It's relatively fair."

Ma Zhou nodded and said seriously: "After the national strength rises, will you take the elite education of the people?" ”

Li Kuan was convinced, why did this group of people have to go through elite education.

Elite education should indeed go, but his elite education is different from the elite education concept of Ma Zhou and others.

"And what kind of elite education do you want?"

Li Kuanpi asked rhetorically with a smile.

Ma Zhou said directly and seriously: "Of course, we treat everyone equally, and slowly improve the quality of education." ”

"We can do it slowly, but we can't do it without it."

Li Kuan shrugged, and he knew it was so.

The elite education that Wei Zheng's gang wants is to become the education level of the whole family.

The elite education he wants to do slowly is to wait for the popularization of national education to be completed, and then draw the elites among the people to vigorously support it.

These are two different things.

Li Kuan restrained his expression and said seriously: "I'll tell you so, all the people you want will become the elite education of the family education, and I won't even carry it out." ”

"Universal education and extracting elites for high-level education is the limit of what I can do."

"I can't put all of a country's finances into elite education."

Li Kuan's seriousness did not make Ma Zhou angry, he just looked at Li Kuan indifferently, and calmly highlighted two words: "Reason." ”

"You once said that talent is the foundation of a country."

Li Kuan didn't expect him to scold himself with his own words.

But he's not afraid.

Li Kuan replied very seriously: "Don't talk about the money invested in elite education for all, just say a word, after the real implementation, when the talents are cultivated far beyond the needs of society, how should I arrange them?" ”

"How should the state arrange for them?"

"The reason for the political struggle in the court is because of the limited position, and there are too many children of the family who can sit in this position."

"The same principle, no matter how fast the country develops, the talents it needs are there, and I cultivate talents at any cost, and in the end it can only turn into a new round of infighting."

"It's still a more terrifying political fight."

"Everybody's going to be finished, to die in civil strife."

The policy of ignoring the people is not advisable, and neither is the national elite.

When a person becomes an elite, he will never want to experience the so-called ordinary life again.

Those who climb up from the bottom will never want to go back to the bottom.
