Chapter 332: A hundred schools of thought contend
Among the many calligraphy simplified books left by Li Si, the most touching thing about Li Yuan was such a memorial. However, its age looked a bit longer, and even the bamboo slips themselves turned yellow.
It can be seen that this is a memorial that Li Si asked Chen to give to the First Emperor in his early years. For some reason, it was not presented. The matters that need to be reported in the bamboo slips are closely related to the drastic changes that have occurred in the New Qin Dynasty.
"There is no distinction between education and office schools, and the poor are widely accepted--!" This is the content of the memorial, which talks about breaking the boundaries of identity and opening up public schools in Qin State, so that every Qin person can enjoy the right to educate and read. It should be said that as a disciple of the Legalists, Li Si was able to incorporate the Confucian Confucius' doctrine into his memorials, which was a surprising move.
But unfortunately, Li Si did not stick to the end.
However, his opinions on popularizing basic education touched Li Yuan very much.
This time, the riots of the foolish people in Hanzhong were apparently confusing the riots by the legend of the Ying family's cult, but fundamentally, it was due to the weak basic education. In other words, the people had no culture. When they encountered an inexplicable astronomical natural phenomenon, they attributed it to gods and demons. This gave speculators like the Ying family an opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, if they wanted to curb riots and rebel in Qin, they had to give the people the right to read.
The public school of Daqin.
After several rounds of war, it has long been abandoned.
The officials in charge of education in each county and county are generally appointed by Ling Shi and Gong Cao. However, with the ups and downs of Qin, the original institutions have long been broken, and the new officials are busy dealing with complex daily affairs after they are in place. In comparison, the work in education is indeed negligent.
Of course, this is also related to the current national strength of Qin. New Qin, which just had a little confidence, cannot fully popularize education in various counties. It is not only a matter of financial resources, but also because of insufficient manpower.
The Legalists are the theory of Qin State governing the country.
However, there were not many children who inherited the Legalist theory in this era. Among the hundreds of schools of thought, the largest number were Confucian scholars, followed by the Laozi and Zhuangzi school, and then the Zongheng family. Most of these people belonged to the Guandong family, and it took a little time to make them sincerely serve the Qin State.
After reading Li Si's last works, Li Yuan had a deeper understanding of this famous and well-known Qin State for the first time. In general, Li Si was a talented and character flawed person. He was not the kind of person who could sacrifice his life for his ideals. When actual interests and ideals conflicted, his choice was to be tolerant and retreat.
Such a weak personality was that during the reign of the powerful Emperor of the First Emperor, the king and minister were one strong and the other weak, which formed a complementary effect. In the Qin II period, Zhao Gao waited for an opportunity to seize power, and Li Si was forced to death with repeated tolerance. What happened in Qin State next was not only Li Si's personal tragedy, but also the tragedy of the entire Qin State.
How to open public schools with limited financial resources, absorb talents from all walks of life, and cultivate elites belonging to Qin's own is something that Li Yuan needs to consider in the long term.
Shenwu Hou Mansion.
Chen Ping and Li Zheng, two left-behind officials, were summoned by Li Yuan to the study in the mansion. Small-scale discussions were necessary. After all, Li Yuan's teaching proposal was just a proposal. How to implement it and what difficulties will be encountered in the implementation process? These are still to be proven.
"About public schools, I have an idea. According to the current financial resources of each county, it is impossible to popularize and establish them. However, we can conduct pilot projects in some major counties. In this way, the money spent will not be too much. As for the poor children in the family, the three elders of the county pavilion can be protected. As long as they have excellent grades in the school entrance examination, their food and accommodation costs will be exempted. Of course, the state stipulated corvee will continue to be carried out before there is no official official." Li Yuan said.
"Wuhou, the key to this office school is the teaching people. Now, anyone with some talent in each county has been fully excavated. Except for those who live in seclusion in the mountains or run private schools by themselves, it is really difficult for us to find suitable teaching talents." Li Zheng looked embarrassed.
As an assistant to assist Chen Ping in internal affairs, although Li Zheng has been burdened by Li Si's funeral these days, he is still very familiar with some specific situations in political affairs.
"It's better to order all counties to post announcements in the county towns and encourage people with knowledge from all sides to join the school. As long as you really have knowledge, you can ignore everything else and not investigate anything?" Li Yuan thought for a while and said.
"What if it is Yu Ni, or a Confucian scholar, who have those big talkers?" Chen Ping asked.
"No need to worry about these things. When Confucian scholars come, let him talk about Confucianism well. When debaters come, let him talk about the art of tongue debate. As for what he says, whether students are willing to listen, then leave it to the students to choose themselves. In this way, this teacher's problem should be solved." Li Yuan said.
"Wuhou, this is probably inappropriate. The Qin Dynasty governs the country with law. If these gentlemen talk nonsense and shake the foundation of Qin, it would be bad." Chen Ping shook his head and said.
"Chen Xiang, you have a bit of preconceived ideas. In the past, you studied in Wei, but you didn't learn the art of law. Now that you have become the prime minister of the country, why do you suspect the theory of various schools of thought. Each school of thought has its own essence, and of course there are some dross. We set up office schools, and professors are to pass on the essence of the theory of the hundred schools of thought. We can restrict those things that are not in line with the times in the lesson plan. At the same time, let these teachers talk less and not talk as much as possible." Li Yuan smiled and replied.
"Since Marquis Wu is confident, I will handle it now. Let this matter be personally taken over to the Order Li himself." Chen Ping nodded and agreed.
Li Zheng is the son of Li Si and the leader of the current Legalism theory. He led the school and was able to play the role of his academic leader. At the same time, with his identity, he can also suppress those who are trying to show off their verbal benefits.
A riot in Hanzhong.
This unexpectedly triggered Li Yuan's reflection on the Qin State's education system.
The subsequent impact of this school operation will become more and more obvious in the next few years.
However, Li Yuan is not interested in paying attention to these long-term things now, because an urgent report sent back from the Wuguan Military Information Department allowed him to explore the truth about the riot in Hanzhong.
Yan Le entered Hanzhong as early as the end of December. He used swordsmanship in his early years and also traveled in Hanzhong. This time he revisited the old place, and only brought a few confidants to follow him. After repeated discoveries of going deep into the chaotic people, Yan Le found signs of a mixed mob of Chu people.
And the next step of discovery surprised him.
Guo Ting and Zhang Ping appeared in the refugee team. Although these two people were not ranked high on the list of the Qin Military Information Department, as former generals and generals of the Han army, their names Yan Le were clearly remembered.
Yan Le, who felt that he was about to get close to the truth, was very excited, and more additional personnel were sent to sneak into various parts of Hanzhong. At this time, the old pious woman of Ying appeared in a very high profile.
Winner.
Others may not be very clear about what she did in Xianyang, and Li Yuan’s hatred for the old pious woman who destroyed his relationship with Ying Yushu, Yan Le knew it very well.
Back then, it was he who ordered the Ying family and his son to be pushed down the Wei River, causing the illusion that they fell into the water and died. Now a year has passed, but he does not want the Ying family to make a comeback as a divine witch and pose a serious threat to the Qin State.
"The rioters in Hanzhong are the most important. According to scouts, the so-called witches who are blind are undoubtedly Ying. In addition, the traces of former Han generals Guo Ting, Zhang Ping and others were also found in the refugee army. From this, it can be judged that it is not ruled out that the possibility of the reign of the Han Dynasty rebelling in the middle--!"
Seeing Yan Le’s military information report, Li Yuan finally couldn’t sit still.
