When Pei Xiu walked to the gate of the Taiji Palace, Cheng Ji blocked him.

Cheng Ji looked up and down at the person in front of him, this one was a rare guest.

Among the many books, this one is the least, and he doesn't see him a few times a month.

He sent someone in to pray, and soon, a servant took Pei Xiu into the hall and went to the east hall.

Walking to the door of the east hall, Pei Xiu heard laughter coming from inside.

This bold laughter, Pei Xiu could hear it, it was Hubu Shangshu Lu Zhi.

Pei Xiu remembered that this duke was calm and a more serious person.

How do you sound so happy today?

Pei Xiu walked into the hall, and sure enough, Lu Zhi was sitting next to the emperor, looking very happy, with a smile on his face that he could hardly see on weekdays.

And the moment he saw Pei Xiu, the smile on Lu Zhi's face disappeared, and he suddenly became solemn again.

Cao Chao looked at him in surprise, "Pei Shangshu is here!" Rare guests! ”

"Pei Shangshu is extremely busy, and he still has time to come to the Taiji Hall to report on government affairs!"

Pei Xiu only didn't understand this mockery, he saluted the emperor, and met Lu Zhi again, although the two had the same official position, but after all, the other party was older.

Cao Chao then let him sit aside, "Pei Jun suddenly came, what happened to him?" ”

Pei Xiu said: "The matter of Taixue has been negotiated and the results have been discussed, and from this year onwards, Taixue students will first go to the local government to serve as a school official for a year before participating in the assessment, observing their performance, and participating in the assessment after completing their talents." ”

"And in order to reward such behavior, if you perform well during your term of office, you can directly confer a prefectural official position"

Today's Tai students have lost their advantage in the face of the rest of the people, in the Cao Pi period, only Tai students can participate in the Five Classics assessment to become officials, and now everyone can participate, if there is no subsidy, I am afraid that no one is willing to go to Taixue anymore, so Shang Shutai also gave a certain reward for this behavior after consideration.

In fact, during the period of Emperor Wen, there was a similar incentive, those children of the common people who were not qualified to participate in the assessment must serve as scholars, and if their performance is good, they can get a chance to be promoted.

Of course, Cao Chao has known about this for a long time.

He knew that Pei Xiu went to find Wang Chang, and Wang Chang gathered his ministers and quickly negotiated the result.

Pei Xiu's guy spread the errand he assigned to him evenly to the entire Shangshutai, and the conclusion drawn from Shangshutai was that those doctors who studied too much didn't dare to object.

Cao Chao didn't know what to say about this guy.

However, he also did what he was told.

"Okay, Pei Shangshu, since there is a conclusion, then the next thing, you have to continue to bother Pei Shangshu, don't be too anxious, things like this often take more than ten years to see results, the key is not to have too big problems, I believe Pei Shangshu can do this!"

Pei Xiu hurriedly said yes.

Since the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the temple attaches great importance to the local teaching problem, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has set up a lot of schools in the local area to encourage enlightenment education, which is also the reason for the emergence of talents in the Western Han Dynasty, and the Western Han Dynasty has never had a situation where talents are out of file.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the main direction of the temple gradually moved closer from the local to Taixue, and no decent policies were formulated.

By the time of Cao Pi, Cao Pi forcibly designated the threshold for participating in the assessment, and those who could not meet the threshold were all thrown out to engage in local education.

Once the threshold is established, the officials will become the children of the gate valve clan, but it has played a good role in promoting local education.

When local teaching developed to the Ming and Qing dynasties, township schools even began to appear, and the local education system dominated by Li Miaotang reached the township level in some specific periods.

Of course, today's human and material productivity must not be compared with that time, and the difference between the two is too great.

In today's situation, Cao Chao's requirements are only to surpass the Cao Pi period and reach the point where the county has a county school.

In addition, the schools set up in today's temples are not the kind of schools that later generations have, and today's schools teach the classics, and they do not admit children, but those who are interested in studying in the locality, and there is no clear age regulation.

If there is no teacher to explain something like a classic, there is no way to learn it with books alone, unless you are a genius.

And the price of wanting to worship under the door of celebrities is too great, and not all those who want to study can do it.

At this time, you can go to the temple to study.

The local schools in the temple are basically students from very low backgrounds, and those with high backgrounds disdain to learn any classics in local schools.

If you want to become an official, scripture is a compulsory subject, so the significance of local schools is very significant.

The quality of the scholars who came out of them was definitely not comparable to that of the children of the big clans, but as long as their numbers were large enough, they could always break the monopoly of the big clans on official positions and learning.

The big clans can't be allowed to monopolize all learning and avenues of ascent

Pei Xiu left here respectfully.

Cao Chao knew that this guy's seriousness might not last long, but there should be no more mistakes in the things handed over to him.

Lu Zhi never spoke, until Pei Xiu left, and then asked, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with leaving this matter to him?" ”

Cao Chao took a sip of tea, "Why not?" ”

"Your Majesty, Pei Xiu is not without talent, but he pays too much attention to his relatives and has close contacts with many big clans, I have heard that there are often famous people who go to his mansion and give gifts to him, in order to become his friends, and the purpose of these people is to be officials."

"Your Majesty now wants to practice local learning, and local learning is mostly from humble backgrounds like Lao Chen."

Cao Chao hurriedly interrupted him, "Duke Lu, I remember, you are from a big family, and you have been an official for generations."

Lu Zhi sighed, "Your Majesty, the old minister was more than ten years old, his father was killed by the traitor Guo Yan, since then, displaced, settled at the age of seventeen, wanted to ask for learning, but there was no way, and finally learned a classic in a local school, and was recommended as a official by local officials."

"The minister's background may not be humble, but he also knows the pain of humility."

Cao Chao nodded, "You continue." ”

Lu Zhi said again: "Pei Xiu, he has a little contempt for some of the big clans in Biansai, Youzhou, Liangzhou, and Nanguo are not in his eyes, let alone those who are born in the common people?" ”

"Your Majesty has asked this person to be in charge of these things, but I'm afraid he won't be able to complete it well."

Cao Chao knew that Pei Xiu had a very serious disease of the children of the big clan, which was also what Lu Zhi was worried about.

He raised his head and explained seriously: "Lu Gong doesn't have to worry. ”

"Pei Xiu, this person seems to be lazy, but in fact he is smart, he is also very proficient in the world's government affairs, and after returning from Yongliang last time, he already knows the stakes."

"He didn't dare to neglect these things, otherwise, he wouldn't have found Wang Chang."

"This matter is handed over to others, but there are many resistances, and it is handed over to Pei Xiu, with his clan power and his extensive connections, I am afraid that no one will dare to embarrass him, and it will be smoother to do things."

"Don't worry about him, think about what I've told you."

Only then did Lu Zhi stand up, bow to Cao Chao again, and then leave here.

After sending Lu Zhi away, Cao Chao was unwilling to stay in the Taiji Hall anymore, and he hurried towards the Changqiu Palace.

What he had just discussed with Lu Zhi was about a series of policies after the abolition of the tuntian system, if it can be used well, it can greatly increase the income of the temple, and when there is money, everything will be much smoother.

When Cao Chao arrived at the Changqiu Palace, Zheng Xian was teaching the little guy to speak very hard.

"Father, Father~~ Father!"

The little guy sat in the crib, listening to Zheng Xian's word by word professor, but he just looked at her and smirked, and he didn't mean to speak at all.

When Cao Chao walked in, the little guy turned his head and looked at Cao Chao silly again.

Cao Chao smiled and picked him up.

Zheng Xian said with a sad face: "I can't teach no matter how I teach, I don't open my mouth at all."

Cao Chao glanced at her, "This is less than a year old, how can you speak?" ”

Zheng Xian couldn't help but say: "I heard people say that there are prodigies who can speak in April and write in October."

"Heh, that is, when they grow up, they can still use body heat to melt ice and snow, and tears can give birth to bamboo shoots, how can my children compare with them?"

Zheng Xian was very serious, "My father said that it was all true!" ”

"Of course, if your father didn't say that, would he still be a celebrity?"

Zheng Xian was speechless for a moment.

Cao Chao likes to hold Ah Wen upright and put him on his shoulder, Ah Wen will also be very obedient to put his head on his shoulder, looking ahead with a twinkle in the corner of his eyes, and to others, he will not be like this, even if he presses his head, he will not easily stick his head on it.

Just as Cao Chao was singing an unknown tune and walking around carrying his son, footsteps came from outside the door.

The person who came was Sima Yu, and Sima Yu was a little surprised to see that the emperor was also here, but hurriedly bowed to him.

She had come to deliver new clothes to the child, and after they had arrived, she left in a hurry.

Zheng Xian looked at her back and couldn't help but say to Cao Chao: "Your Majesty, since Ah Wen was born, you rarely go to Auntie's side anymore, this is really not good, Auntie is virtuous and helps me a lot, Your Majesty shouldn't snub her." ”

Cao Chao was even more surprised, "I don't want my queen to say such sensible things?" ”

"Does Your Majesty think I'm a jealous woman?"

"Hahaha, the queen is naturally not"

"And the Queen Mother's side, Your Majesty should also visit more, she has been very worried recently, often asks about Your Majesty's situation, and is in a trance."

"Okay, good, just according to the queen's words!"
