"The official establishment of schools, starting from young children, teaches the words of sages, but also teaches arithmetic, agricultural and other skills!" Li Changfeng's eyes were blazing.

"Starting with a toddler?" Emperor Qianwu was a little surprised.

Li Changfeng nodded solemnly.

"That's right, it starts with a toddler, three years old...... Oh no, it can be started at the age of six, teaching children literacy and basic arithmetic first, which is essential for initiation education. ”

"Then teach them to read when they are older, learn etiquette, righteousness, honesty, loyalty, filial piety, establish a correct outlook on life and values, and at the same time begin to teach some skills that can be used in life."

"When they become adults, they will be divided into more professional learning directions according to their interests and specialties, such as those who like arithmetic, let them learn arithmetic, and they can work in the household department in the future, and no matter how poor they are, they can become a shopkeeper or a bookkeeper or something."

"If you like to work as a farmer, let them learn these things, so that they can make the most of their skills when they can work in the household department in the future, and they can also be sent to the local area to shine."

"If you like military affairs, let them learn military strategy, and ask retired generals to teach them personally, so that they will continue to cultivate a reserve force with a military foundation, and as long as they have a little experience, they can take charge of themselves."

"I won't say much about the specific sons, I think you can understand what the sons mean."

Speaking of this, Li Changfeng paused for a moment and said in a solemn tone: "The most important thing is that the official establishment of schools can give the children of poor families a chance to flourish, break the monopoly of the elite class on reading and promotion, and make it difficult for them to pose a threat to the rule of the great cadres!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu looked a little excited.

He walked quickly back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his back, obviously feeling uneasy.

Why are the powerful all generations powerful, and the poor almost all generations poor?

In the final analysis, the powerful have the money to study, and their children and grandchildren can become officials through the imperial examination and continue to protect the interests of the family.

They don't have to worry about one of their children not being born.

After all, what they have is money, and there are many wives and concubines, and there are many children, and there is always one who is an official, and as long as one of them becomes an official, he can ensure the family inheritance.

What should I do if my son can't do it?

And grandchildren!

And what about the children of poor families?

It's good to have a full stomach, where is the money to study?

Those who are a little older and can work have to help the family with the work, and they don't have time to study.

This leads to the rich becoming rich and becoming powerful from generation to generation, and the poor becoming poor and hard-working.

Those who are always rich will intermarry with each other and form alliances, and after the establishment of a huge network of relations, it will be inevitable that officials will protect each other, which will plunge the polarization of the country into a crisis.

Emperor Qianwu was familiar with history books, and he was the one who overthrew the corrupt previous dynasty and laid down the world, so he had a deep understanding of this.

What Li Changfeng said is indeed a good way to fundamentally solve this problem.

But the problem is also huge.

Emperor Qianwu stopped and said helplessly: "Now Daqian doesn't have so much silver, and he can't afford to set up the schools you mentioned nationwide. ”

Emperor Qianwu did not expect the poor to pay out of their own pockets to let their children go to school, and the only way was for the Great Qianguo Treasury to pay for it.

However, according to what Li Changfeng said, the children who have received more than 10 years of education cannot afford the school, teachers, and many other expenses they need.

Li Changfeng said with a smile: "It is obviously unrealistic to promote it nationwide with the current strength of Daqian, you can promote it in the capital first, as for the cost, this prince has covered it, and he will not let his father ask for a penny." ”

Emperor Qianwu was noncommittal, and asked as soon as the conversation changed: "Changfeng, why did you suddenly think of reforming the education system of Daqian?" ”

Li Changfeng couldn't help but think of the seven or eight-year-old boy and sighed.

"Father, the son met a child among the refugees, Dou Da didn't know a single word, but he was very talented in scientific research!"

"And he didn't have the opportunity to study at all, in fact, even if he was born to study in a powerful family, he could only read the words of the saints, which would bury his talent!"

"Our scientific research institute is now getting these things, in the eyes of those readers, they are just strange and clever skills, and they can't be put on the stage at all, but these so-called strange and obscene skills have the power to change the world."

"It is precisely because of this that Erchen thought of reforming the education system, and after the school was established, the imperial examination system would be completely abolished, so that everyone could use what they had learned to apply it, and they would have the opportunity to change their fate!"

Emperor Qianwu was shocked.

He didn't think that Li Changfeng even planned to reform the imperial examination system.

Emperor Qianwu frowned, and walked back and forth quickly in the imperial study.

Li Changfeng knew that Emperor Qianwu was weighing the pros and cons of gains and losses, so he was silent and did not speak.

After a while, Emperor Qianwu stopped, stared at Li Changfeng with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "It is undeniable that the reform method you mentioned is very good, and it can even be said that it can change the national fortunes of my great Qian...... However, I can't agree to this! ”

Li Changfeng was puzzled: "Why? ”

"Because you're digging the foundation of the whole world! And almost all of the current officials of our big cadres are held by these powerful people! ”

Li Changfeng was stunned.

But all the powerful people with brains will know that this move will cut off the wealth of their children and grandchildren, and they will definitely oppose it.

Even if it is to start a riot, it will not hesitate.

"So, Father, are you worried that they will make trouble?"

Emperor Qianwu nodded: "That's right, and this probability is still very large, Daqian has not been in power for many years, and he can't withstand such a toss, and the time is not yet ripe." ”

Li Changfeng thought for a while and nodded, "Erchen understands." ”

To put it bluntly, Emperor Qianwu was afraid of the rebellion of the powerful.

However, this is not an unsolvable problem.

Just find the right time to show these magnates the power of artillery and muskets to their faces, and make them realize that no matter how many soldiers rebel, they will only be reduced to cannon fodder.

Then they will obediently accept the arrangement of fate.

What is missing now is an opportunity.

"Then, let the world see the power of our muskets and artillery, and then start reforming the education system and the imperial examination system."

Emperor Qianwu nodded: "There will be a chance." ”

After talking a lot at length, Li Changfeng was also tired, and said goodbye to Emperor Qianwu and went to Jingren Palace to see Concubine Lin and Li Mingzhu, and then left the palace.

After returning home, Li Changfeng sent someone to set up an internal school in the scientific research institute, and asked the staff of the scientific research institute to be teachers, and recruited the children under his command to study in the academy.

Since the reform of the education system for the great cadres cannot be carried out in a short period of time, it is necessary to start with his own people and train reserve talents for the scientific research institutes as early as possible.

When the time is ripe, it will be promoted to the entire Daqian.

……

It's night.

Li Changfeng was sleeping soundly in the room, when suddenly there was a quick knock on the door, and Bingbing shouted outside.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up!"

Li Changfeng was awakened, his face full of surprise.

As his personal girl, Bingbing has always cared for him, and rarely disturbs him in the middle of the night.

Unless there is something very important.

"What's wrong? Come on in. ”

Li Changfeng said as he got up.

Bingbing pushed the door in, looking anxious.

"Your Majesty has summoned you to enter the palace as quickly as possible!"

As he spoke, Bingbing hurried over to serve Li Changfeng and dress.

Li Changfeng couldn't help frowning.

Something big must have happened.

Otherwise, his father would never have summoned him to the palace in such a hurry in the middle of the night.

What could it be?

Li Changfeng was a little puzzled.

At this time, Xiaotong walked in with a basin of hot water.

Li Changfeng got dressed, scribbled his face, and walked quickly towards the outside of the mansion, there was a person waiting anxiously at the door, it was his old acquaintance Zhang Gonggong.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes!"

Gonggong Zhang bowed and saluted, Li Changfeng quickly stepped forward to help him up, and asked in a low voice, "Old Zhang, what's wrong?" ”

Gonggong Zhang looked left and right, lowered his voice very low, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty received an urgent report late at night, the barbarians have invaded, and the situation seems to be quite serious!" ”

Li Changfeng's expression also became solemn.

"Let's go!"

He immediately boarded the carriage and rushed to the palace.

The barbarian invasion at this time was something Li Changfeng never expected.

Before, whether it was him, Emperor Qianwu, or other generals in the court, they all thought that the barbarians would not attack in a big way in winter.

After all, a large-scale invasion in winter is a very severe test for supplies and marches.

According to their previous expectations, even if the barbarians were to invade, it would be after the beginning of spring.

Soon, Li Changfeng came to the palace.

From a distance, you can see the lights in the imperial study, and after entering it, you can see Prime Minister Feng Quji, General Ye Qingcang, Yue Jianghe, the secretary of the military department, and Chen Dingyuan, the secretary of the household department.

They are all big officials and important ministers.

Emperor Qianwu sat on the imperial case with an expressionless face, and stood beside him with a strong bow, his expression cold.

Li Changfeng bowed and bowed.

"The son visits his father."

Emperor Qianwu nodded slightly, Feng Quji and the others hurriedly bowed down to salute, and Li Changfeng didn't support it, so that everyone was flat.

"Father, what's going on?" Li Changfeng frowned.

"After receiving an urgent report, the barbarians dispatched an army of 80,000 to invade the delta area, and Nangong Changming was defeated and retreated to Zhennanguan, and now it is also in danger." Emperor Qianwu said very quickly.

Li Changfeng was a little surprised.

"With an army of 80,000, Nangong Changming will be driven to Zhennan Pass?!"

Southern Xinjiang already has a large number of generals, with more than 100,000 people, and there are also 50,000 garrisons in Huangfu that can support at any time, and the total number of people is 200,000.

Even if the barbarian warriors were strong and capable of fighting well, they should not have been defeated so completely under such a large disparity in strength.

Retreating to Zhennanguan meant that the rich delta area had become the territory of the barbarians, which was an extremely serious loss for the great cadres.

Besides, Nangong Changming followed Emperor Qianwu to fight in the south and the north, and he was a famous general in a hundred battles, and his ability to lead the army to fight was not inferior to Ye Qingcang.

How could such a character be defeated so miserably?

At this moment, the old general Ye Qingcang spoke: "With only 80,000 barbarian horses, it is naturally impossible to defeat Nangong Changming. It's that they don't know what means they used, driving more than 3,000 evil beasts to help in the battle, so they were defeated so badly, and the military newspaper said that the number of casualties exceeded 50,000. ”
