Chapter 169: The Merit of Enlightenment is Beneficial for a Thousand Years! (Ask for subscription)
Hear Ji Heng's words.
Childe and the others were shocked.
They really didn't expect Ji Heng to say this.
Great Qin did not prohibit the people from receiving knowledge, but education itself was an extremely high threshold.
And it's demanding.
As far as Daqin is concerned, only officials whose titles have reached the doctor's level can supply their children to enroll, and in addition, there are also some wealthy and wealthy nobles who can enter the school through recommendation or sponsorship.
But without exception, there are high requirements for family background.
Great Qin practiced the 'One Religion'.
That is, unified education.
Take the law as the teaching, and the officials as the teacher.
Daqin aims to complete the training of officials through the establishment of 'schools' in each county and specializing in the training of legal talents.
And these 'Shi Zi' and 'disciples' are the future reserve officials of Great Qin.
If you are not a historian, you don't dare to study the school.
At present, Ji Heng's intention is to lower the admission standards.
And it's going to drop very low.
They're actually very puzzled by this.
Is this really possible?
Ji Heng could see that several people were puzzled.
But that's exactly what he thinks.
Now the cost of studying is too high, the cost of an ordinary bamboo slip is nearly a dozen yuan, ordinary families simply cannot afford to supply, even if it is a doctor-level official, the annual rank is as high as 600 stones, and only a few heirs can be supplied, which shows the high cost of education.
However, the most important of his ideas is to 'change the country'.
How to change?
Naturally, we have to start from the bottom.
The gap between the aristocracy and the lower class still exists.
Only by completely closing this gap can we truly transform the country.
Knowledge changes destiny!
It's not just the fate of individuals that change.
There are also countries!
Gongzi arched his hand and said, "Mr. Ji, are you serious?" ”
"And the high cost of studying today is simply not something that ordinary families can provide, even if the imperial court makes a move, it may be difficult to maintain, and the money and food consumed are even more massive, and it is impossible for the imperial court to agree, and it cannot support it at all."
"Sir, this is a big deal."
Ji Heng chuckled lightly, and didn't care: "The enrollment I am talking about is different from the 'enrollment' you understand, in your eyes, enrollment is to enter the school, change the household registration, and become the reserve force of the future officials of Great Qin, but this is not for me." ”
"What I call Confucianism is very simple."
"Only teach literacy and hyphenation."
"I don't teach laws, I don't teach writing, I don't teach military affairs."
Gongzi Gao pondered for a moment, shook his head again, and said in a condensed voice: "It's still very feasibility, the cost of teaching is extremely huge, and families with a slightly lower title can't afford it at all, even if they only teach the most basic, it's still not something that many households can support." ”
Ji Heng bowed his head slightly, and said coldly: "Then bring down the cost." ”
"Huh?"
Ji Heng smiled coldly and said, "The cost of reading is indeed very high, but where is the specific?" ”
"How much does the bamboo slip cost?"
"Books?"
"Or a teacher who preaches and is employed?"
"There is no way to solve the problem when bamboo is short, but ordinary people really can't learn Chinese without bamboo slips?"
"I don't think so."
"And the important thing in preaching and receiving karma is never bamboo slips."
"It's books!"
"In the past, books were stored in the Zhou royal family and related princes, and then the Son of Heaven lost his official position, learned in the Quartet, and a large number of books overflowed to the place, which then promoted the rise of the hundred schools of thought, and also created a prosperous era of a hundred schools of thought, even so, books are actually only in the hands of a few people."
"Monopoly for the upper class!"
"With the unification of the world, knowledge has once again begun to concentrate at the upper levels."
"It's getting worse."
"For the officials, nobles, and Haoqiang of the Great Qin, they are actually happy to see this happen, and at the same time, they are also happy to see Confucianism, because the court does not value this place at the bottom and does not occupy it, and there will be others to occupy it."
"Wait a hundred years."
"The world will form a strange situation."
"It is clear that the legal system is in charge, but the influence of the legal system in the world is getting weaker and weaker."
"Confucianism is booming."
"As a court, we can't just care about the benefits of temporary gains and losses, but when we look at the world for ten years, a hundred years, and a thousand years, sometimes we even have to do things against the trend, and make education low-lord and popular, which is what Daqin really needs to do in the future."
"That's the only way."
"Only then can the foundation of Great Qin be stable."
"So as not to take advantage of the loopholes for Confucianism and let the legal system become an ornament."
Hear the words.
Gongzi Gao was also taken aback.
He never imagined that the consequences of gathering knowledge at the top would be so serious.
But how could the imperial court have the money to supply so many people?
I don't want to.
But I really can't do it.
Gongzi Gao smiled bitterly: "Mr. is based on lofty and far-reaching, we really admire it, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the court can't take out money at all, so how can we talk about realizing the 'low-lord and popularization' that Mr. talked about?" ”
"Sir, you think too highly of the court."
Ji Heng shook his head.
He said calmly: "It's man-made. ”
"If Daqin wants to sit firmly in the world, he should stabilize the foundation."
"It's really hard to educate right now."
"But you can try to make some changes."
"Qin Seal's teaching is very difficult, so give up Qin Seal and use a more concise official book."
"The cost of the school room is very high, so don't go to the school."
"Learn only the basics of literacy."
"Literacy and hyphenation are very exquisite."
"Then make some signs that are easy for ordinary people to understand."
"Everything is to reduce the difficulty of literacy and completely break the monopoly of knowledge at the top."
"Let everyone be able to read and understand the law."
Hear the words.
Childe and the others gasped.
Ji Heng's ambition is too great.
He is not even satisfied with being low-level, but wants to promote the world, so that everyone in the world has books to read, this idea is too shocking and crazy, even they, when they hear this, they only feel their scalps tingle.
Childe's breathing was a little short, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, isn't this a little too crazy?" ”
"I'm afraid this will be scolded by the world's readers."
Ji Heng sneered and said disdainfully: "Scholars in the world? How many are they? How many people are there at the bottom of the world? Can their voices be louder than the voices of tens of millions? It is precisely because they control knowledge that they can always be looked up to, and when everyone in the world is literate, how long can they be rampant? ”
"Father won't agree." Childe Gao smiled bitterly.
"If you're wrong, the First Emperor will definitely agree." Ji Heng's eyes were like torches, and he was very sure of his opinion.
"Why is that?" Childe Gao is very incomprehensible.
"Because Great Qin needs to fulfill its promise, and if you want to fulfill your promise to destroy the Six Kingdoms back then, you are destined to pay a price, which is the smallest price paid by the imperial court, compared to the stability of Great Qin's country, such a price is nothing in the eyes of the First Emperor." Ji Heng said meaningfully: "All for the world!" ”
Childe frowned.
He didn't know much about these things.
Therefore, I can't argue with it, but I feel a little trance.
Hu Hai was unhappy when he heard this, and took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Ji, how do you feel that it has nothing to do with us, even if my father really agrees with your idea and lowers the standard of admission to school, what does it have to do with us?" ”
"We've long since graduated from the school."
"You can't let us continue to learn, can you?"
Ji Heng said lightly: "The work of education is beneficial for a thousand years. ”
"This matter has not yet begun, and you know it in advance, can't you do something?"
"Do what?" Hu Hai asked directly.
"Books!" Ji Heng Road.
"Books?" Hu Hai frowned, and asked suspiciously: "What book?" Haven't there been books for literacy and hyphenation for a long time? ”
Ji Heng shook his head and chuckled, "This is naturally different. ”
"As I said earlier, the imperial court can't provide such high-quality teaching, so it will definitely lower the standard as much as possible, which is mainly to start from literacy, change the Qin seal to official script, and add some auxiliary signs to distinguish from the literacy hyphenation that takes a lot of time to master, and then reduce the difficulty of literacy and writing."
"Outside of this time."
"The paperwork of teaching should also change."
"It is no longer about focusing on the actual household registration, books such as "Yushu" and "The Way of Officials", but replacing them with some more junior books, whose main role is to speed up the literacy of students, and everything is based on common words."
Gongzi Gao hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "The imperial court also has such content. ”
"Cangjie Chapter", "Erudite Chapter", "Calendar Chapter".
Ji Heng shook his head.
"I know these three articles."
"These are written by Li Si, Hu Wujing, and Zhao Gao, but the common characters are different from the thousand-character texts."
"What you're going to do is make up the textbook."
"You can use these three articles as a reference, but mainly common words."
"The difficulty is getting more and more difficult every year."
"In this regard, you can ask the officials of the Character Survey Bureau, who used to sort out the characters of the world, and they have a deep understanding of the common characters of the Qin Land and the common characters of the Six Lands, and finally compile the most suitable textbooks for the enlightenment of the world."
"Another."
Ji Heng looked at Gongzi Gao and Gongzi Jianglu, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said meaningfully: "According to Daqin's 'faint affairs' situation, you may have already started a family, and even your heirs are about to go to school. ”
"You used to receive the best education in the world."
"So you have more say."
"It is constantly subdivided and simplified, and finally compiled into a book suitable for the age of the horn."
"That's a great achievement."
"I'm sure the First Emperor won't skimp on the title."
Hear Ji Heng's words.
Childe's eyes moved slightly.
They looked at each other with a flash of determination in their eyes.
If it's really possible.
That's a good idea.
After pondering for a long time, Gongzi arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your advice, I'll wait for this to go back and try." ”
Ji Heng bowed slightly, and said: "You don't have to worry, you have plenty of time to try and make mistakes now, as long as you can make a result in the end, I believe that your efforts, the First Emperor can see it." ”
Hearing Ji Heng's words, Gongzi and the others showed a touch of excitement in their eyes.
As a son of man, who doesn't want to be approved by his father?
Today there are only six thousand words.
Nineteen days of 10,000 words of updates are still owed.
I feel a little bit of a physical condition, and the update will be placed during the day in the future.
