On this day, a new newspaper was published all over the world.

Martial arts Cheng Yi, Lu Gong, Wang Anshi, Su Shi...... All the bigwigs bought the newspaper for the first time, and at this moment, Sima Guang was sitting in the study, spreading out the new newspaper with the fragrance of ink in his hand.

"Suggestions for the Solution of Several Problems in the Improvement of Literature (2)" The eye-catching title is impressively listed, and Sima Guanglian looked down: "Since the founding of Taizu, the Great Song Dynasty has been idle for a hundred years on the surface, but in fact it has accumulated many drawbacks. ”

Sima Guang nodded, Wang Anshi changed the law, and the upper level designed beautiful rules, but these rules ...... , like the implementation of economic finance.

All the important figures in the Great Song Dynasty cannot be compared, they are all like this, and most of the following are illiterate peasants, how can they change the law and not deviate?

The regulation of measuring land is '1,000 steps to the east, west, south, and north, and the tax is levied according to the fertility of the land, but there is a problem in Kaifeng Prefecture, because there is 'time and time', and there are mountains and forests, and these are impossible to start.

As soon as the 'Exemption Law', 'Market Change Law' and 'Seedlings Law' are implemented, strange problems arise one after another, and the reason for this is actually the lack of a large number of relevant talents.

Wei Yi sighed with emotion, Sima Guang continued to watch:

"I advocate 'consistency of words' with Wang Xianggong, that is, to cultivate talents from the roots. ”

However, the imperial examination has been in place for a long time, and it proved to be the best and most appropriate before the emergence of a new mechanism for training and selecting talents. Seeing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Sima Guang's face.

"This Qin Xian Ao is not completely feverish, and he also knows that the imperial examination that has been carried out is the most appropriate. Sima Guang's smiling gaze moved downward.

"Therefore, even if it is necessary to change, a new way of education must be implemented, and the 'vernacular language' must be used instead of the literary language. It can't be done overnight, it must be done step by step in order not to make a big mistake. ”

Seeing this, Sima Guang nodded again: "How easy is it to implement a new way of education, this Qin Xian is arrogant, but he is still sensible." I know that I can't do it overnight, I'm afraid it will make a big mistake. ”

And then reported:

"Here I summarize the 25-word formula, that is, 'active research, bold imagination, careful argumentation, careful implementation, improvement at any time, and successful promotion'. ”

Sima Guang raised his eyebrows: "Actively investigate, imagine boldly, and demonstrate carefully?" he squinted and looked down.

"1. Active research"

"Without investigation, there is no voice. We scholars should not think that 'Xiucai does not go out, but can know the affairs of the world', and investigate ......"

"2. Imagine boldly. ”

"Tianxingjian, the gentleman is unremitting in self-improvement, and the terrain is kun, and the gentleman is virtuous. ”

"When we do things, we must have the progress of the heavens, and we must also have the preservation of the earth. Therefore, on the one hand, I say that the law of the ancestors cannot be violated, and on the other hand, I say that the ancestors are not enough to violate the law. People's words are not enough to be compassionate, and the sky is not enough to be afraid! Without this, great things cannot be accomplished. ”

"Be aggressive, however. It's not so easy, the elders always 'bully' the juniors, the husband always bullies the students, the ancestors have already played all the easy ones, and the rest are hard bones, all deep water. ”

"A bloody path that the ancestors can't kill. How do we gnaw it?"

This has to ask us to let go of the fetters of our thoughts, to think boldly, to let go of everything to think, there is nothing wrong with it, if we dare not think about it. There is no way out. ”

......

After reading a section quickly, Sima Guang tapped his fingers on the table: "Imagine boldly, this is the housekeeping skill of the surname Qin, and what he does is really bold when you think about it." Sima Guang shook his head slightly, and his gaze fell on the next line.

"3. Be careful with your arguments. ”

"Imagination can be unscrupulous, imaginative, arbitrary, but we have to do things after all, which must let our ideas come to fruition, and this requires us to be careful to demonstrate, to conform to a certain law of development of things......"

After reading it in one go, Sima Guang nodded again: "I see, no matter how good you think, if you don't touch the ground, it won't work after all, Wang Jiefu is like this, Qin Xianao is much stronger than him." ”

And then-

"4. Implement cautiously. ”

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, governing the country like this, and the slightest mistake will inevitably lead to serious consequences. Therefore, Wang Xianggong changed the law, Sima Xianggong and other monarchs opposed, but heaven and earth are changing the law all the time, today's me, not yesterday's me, today's Great Song is not yesterday's Great Song, the ancestral law is only suitable for the ancestors. ”

"When we read the Book of Changes, the Book of Changes says that the word 'changes with the times', when to do something, in order to avoid evil and be invincible. ”

"So we can't choke on food, but how do we implement it, how do we do it?"

"I mean choose the reform pilot ...... first"

Sima Guang paused, and the pilot reform was very common in China's governance policies in later generations, but in ancient times, of course, the ancients did not think of this method, but how many people dared to change the law? Even if they changed the law, they were often forced by reality and had to change the law, and the people who implemented the reform were in this situation, hoping that in a day or two, the whole world would take on a new look, and where would there be any reform experiments.

What's more, the whole world is watching you.

The officials above, the queen mother, etc., are urging you, so if the conditions are not met, where will the pilot be regarded as a major and indispensable part.

But the benefits of the 'pilot', how can a bull like Sima Guang not see it.

Therefore, as soon as he saw this, Sima Guang's eyebrows danced.

Then looking at Qin Xianao's talk about the reform pilot, the more he looked at him, the more excited he became. Sima Guang was not against the Fa-changers from the beginning, at the beginning, he, like everyone else, strongly supported the Fa-change and supported Wang Anshi, but it was only later that he realized that something was wrong, so he changed his mind.

"Wang Jiefu's change of law is not without pilots, when he was in the local area, he also tried, and it was successful, but is he there and the entire Great Song Dynasty?"

Sima Guang looked excitedly at the article on the reform pilot, what contradictions, universality, particularity, etc., in fact, as long as the concept of selecting a pilot was proposed, how to choose, there is no need to say too much, how can people like Sima Guang not think of it.

Soon Sima Guang read this article, and he was very excited.

"Wang Jiefu and Qin Xianao are both bold people, but Qin Xianao is bolder and smaller, choose the pilot, don't rush to succeed, good, a good one is both steady and bold. ”

"But the pilot selection is not an easy task. ”

Sima Guang sighed again and again, the selection of pilot projects is the best for ordinary and quick effective governance, but it will take decades to see the difference, and it is even difficult to see the good and bad of some governments, so it will be troublesome.

"However, it is better to have a pilot than not to have a pilot. ”

With excitement, Sima Guang continued to read the remaining two points of 'improving at any time and successfully promoting'.

Although these 25 words can't be perfect, it's not bad that a bold person like Qin Xianao can write these old words of seeking the country. Sima Guang took a sip of tea, and then continued to look down.

"I said in the last issue of the newspaper 'I advise the heavens to be vigorous and eclectic to reduce talents', if you want talents to be eclectic, the means of cultivating talents should naturally be eclectic, but also active research, bold imagination, and multi-party argumentation. ”

"In the Book of Changes, it is said that the sky is strong, and the terrain is kun. The art of war is cloudy, and if you don't expect victory, you will lose first. When we boldly move forward, we must first arrange the back road, so the imperial examination cannot be abolished. ”

"The imperial examination cannot be abolished?"

Sima Guang was so excited that his hands trembled slightly, Sima Guang was most afraid that Qin Xian was arrogant, Qin Xian was arrogant, and it didn't seem to have caused an irreparable mistake, but was this really the case? Sima Guang didn't think so.

At the beginning, it was a change in the ideological and academic circles, and Confucian Confucianism had lost a lot of land and lost a lot of land.

Then there was the change of the Great Song Dynasty, and now there are only more than thirty percent of the rivers and mountains that really belong to the Great Song Dynasty.

This time, he implemented the 'consistency of words and words', and wanted to use a knife for such a major event as the imperial examination, Sima Guang was naturally frightened, but at this time, when he saw Qin Xianao's sentence of 'the imperial examination cannot be abolished', his mood was much more cheerful, but he was still apprehensive, and took a slight breath Sima Guang looked down.

"The imperial examination cannot be abolished, not that it will not be abolished, but that it cannot be abolished until a better way is found. ”

Sima Guang's face was slightly gloomy.

"Since we don't abolish the imperial examination, how can we find a better way? It is nothing more than active investigation, bold thinking, careful verification, and cautious implementation; after investigation, the current mechanism for educating and selecting talents is not reasonable enough, and the reasons for this are: First, the writing is too complicated, which is not conducive to the ...... of writing."

"Second, it takes a lot of effort to read and write ancient texts......"

"The training method is monotonous, and the talent structure is single and ......"

"The talent selection system is not ...... enough"

......

"Therefore, I advocate 'consistency of words and words', although after many arguments and reasoning, this method is feasible, correct, and suitable for the requirements of the times, but in this kind of thing 'practice is the only criterion for testing the truth'......"

Is practice the only criterion for testing truth?

Sima Guang's face was calm.

"This Qin Xianao seems to be determined to replace the ancient Chinese with the vernacular, but it's just ......" Sima Guang looked down with a cold gaze.

"I propose the following proposals: first, the old teaching methods of the past will still be left to exist, but it is necessary to collect a certain tax from the scholars to reduce the existence of such teaching, and second, the implementation of compulsory education for all......"

"Compulsory education for all?"

Sima Guang's eyebrows jumped, and he looked down.

"The so-called compulsory education is a compulsory education system in which national laws are enacted, stipulating that school-age children and adolescents must receive national education that must be guaranteed by the state, society, and family. ”

Sima Guang's face was extremely ugly. (To be continued.) )
