Chapter 41 The purpose of running a school
Jiankang, north of Taicheng, Leyouyuan, and on the Zhoushan Mountain, the kings and ministers of Chu spent the Double Ninth Festival together.
There are all scenes that should be there, and the scene is very lively, with the sound of silk and bamboo, and the wines and chatting and laughing.

The autumn wind blew, blowing laughter to the southeast. The Shangshu Zuo Pushe Zhang Ying, who was walking in the Leyou Garden, heard the movements coming with the wind and stopped.
Looking at the woods not far away, he remembered something from twelve years ago.
On the Double Ninth Festival twelve years ago, Emperor Liang Xiao Gang was assassinated here.
At night, the crown prince Xiao Daqi, who was guarding the body of the Daxing Emperor in the palace, was attacked by a strange monkey who sneaked into the palace. Later, he died of serious injuries.
Zhang Ying is the mastermind behind the attack on Xiao Daqi. Although he is a little confused about his conscience, he doesn't think he is wrong.
If you don’t have the ability to let Li Li display all his talents, then you should give way.
In other words, Zhang Ying believed that Li Li, as a minister, could not display all his talents even if he received the greatest trust and reuse of the emperor.
When Li Li became emperor, he was free from restraint, and what he did over the past three years proved that Zhang Ying's choice was not wrong.
Not to mention anything else, the three policies of prosecuting temples, prosecuting household registration, and prosecuting territory, will never agree to implement them.
Emperor Wu of Liang worshipped Buddhism and even became a monk four times, and he had reached the point of being a sarcastic Buddhist monk. How could his descendants implement the policy of inspecting temples?
Since its founding, Emperor Wu of Liang chose to preferential treatment of gentry, nobles, and royal families for decades. Even if his descendants realize that it is inappropriate and want to change it, can they be changed?
cannot.
Temples, powerful and powerful households occupy a large amount of fertile land and population, but do not pay a grain of rice, and none of them serve labor. All the burdens are on ordinary people, causing the people to flee on a large scale.
As the people paid rent and labour, fewer and fewer people were serving labor, but the expenses of the court increased year by year. How can this country be maintained?
Perhaps the emperor could see the problem, but it could not be solved at all.
Many royal family members, royal relatives, noble families, noble families, and playboys were involved, and the interests were mixed, and the emperor wanted to move was like breaking his own hands.
Even if the emperor trusted Li Li very much, he asked Li Li to let go, implement new policies, or reform.
But those who have suffered losses will inevitably be resentful. The emperor cannot bear this huge anger by himself, so in the end, Li Li will still bear it.
Even though the emperor was nostalgic and defended Li Li, the emperor would always die on the day when he died. After the new king ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, he would throw Li Li out and endure the overwhelming anger.
By then, Li Li will die miserably and his family will not end well.
Therefore, Zhang Ying believed that Li Li would not have good results for being a loyal minister of Liang State, nor would he be able to express his talents with great satisfaction.
A tiger should roar the mountains and forests and be the king of all beasts, rather than being a cat that catches mice for people.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ying took a step forward, walked forward, and walked towards Zhoushan.
He had something to do just now and had to leave the seat and handle some urgent matters. After the matter was done, of course he had to go back quickly and "save the venue".
Li Li didn't know much about chanting poetry, didn't be very erotic, and didn't like to turn over old papers, but this kind of scene was inevitable, so it was not good to rely on Zu Yi alone to hold on, so Zhang Ying rushed back to help support the scene.
However, he felt that the seven-character poem "Political Encouragement" written by Li Li in Huzhou Prefecture was good.
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Ying felt a little strange: According to Li Li's situation, he should not have made such a style of poetry.
For example, the last two lines of this poem "A man wants to fulfill his life's ambition, and read the Five Classics diligently to the window."
It is not like Li Li's usual opinion: Li Li made a clear statement that he would not be granted title without military merit; he would be a general and a prime minister, and both civil and military are the pillars of the country.
Zhang Ying knew that Li Li valued military merits very much and hoped that the court could achieve civil and military strength with appropriate measures. The country would neither focus on military force nor emphasize civil and military force.
But in the poem, it emphasizes that reading can "realize your life's ambition", which feels a bit contradictory?
He looked at Zhoushan in front of him and touched his beard.
Talking about people and talking about ghosts is a necessary "skill" for fighting in the officialdom.
When the emperor runs education, he says this to scholars in the state school, just to point out the purpose of running the school and say something in a silly way.
......
The next day, Li Li, who was still in pain in his head, took a bunch of information and discussed with Liang Sen about the military academy.
In fact, it is about the "purpose of running a school".
Yesterday, on Double Ninth Festival, Li Li drank too much and returned to the palace in a daze. He fell asleep in a daze and woke up in a daze. When he thought of what he was going to say today, he quickly became energetic.
"Since ancient times, many public and private schools have taught students cultural knowledge, but it is rare that some people openly recruit students and then teach students how to really lead troops to war."
"So, there are only schools that ask people to read and write, and no military school that teaches people to lead troops to fight."
As Li Li talked, he yawned, quickly drank tea and cheered up, and continued.
"Of course, the reason why various military tactics can be passed down from generation to generation shows that basic military education has existed since ancient times."
"However, no famous general is simply reading through reading. You also know that fighting is simply not good at talking about war."
"Of course, theories are proud to learn, but they must combine theory with practice and have practical experience in leading troops."
"The reason is of course because the army is composed of people. When fighting, it is actually to organize a group of people to do something, but this thing is to kill people, and to kill people in groups."
"Since you are organizing a large number of people to do things, you will inevitably deal with people. You must know the abilities of your subordinates, the strengths, weaknesses, and personalities of these people."
"In other words, you will know the soldiers, but not the soldiers. You only know the theory and rely on simple theory to fight. Theory is divorced from reality. Unless you are very lucky, you will easily be defeated and killed."
"It's like learning to swim. Just talking on the shore and practicing movements is useless. If you don't go into the water and jog a few sips of water, you won't learn it at all."
"Therefore, the court should implement military education, combine theory with practice, and students should learn theory in class, and go to the grassroots to lead troops and accumulate practical experience in leading troops."
"The way to cultivate children for those generals is to bring their elders to the army to gain knowledge, so that these children have become familiar with military life since they were young and accumulate experience in leading troops to fight."
"However, this kind of education is similar to private school, ethnic school. If outsiders want to learn it, it is amazing to learn a military strategy. Understand some theories. How to use it depends on your understanding."
"The imperial court wants to run a military academies, with the purpose of allowing people who have never been in contact with military affairs, or ordinary soldiers, to have qualified military qualities for several years."
"Of course, just as schools are divided into elementary schools, county schools, state schools, and Imperial schools, military schools must also be divided into levels, from easy to difficult, and train officers of different levels."
Li Li explained the purpose of the military academy: "Military academy should train primary and intermediate officers in batches like mass production of machine parts on the field, and be able to replenish them into the army at any time."
"Then, the regular army of the court...the central army is not afraid of losing. If the army is destroyed, rebuilt and formed combat effectiveness, the speed of the army will be faster than before."
