Guo Jia, Liu Ye and others all nodded when they heard this. They all believed that with Zhuge Liang's physical condition, working overtime for six or seven hours a day was not a big problem. If he trained with Han Xin at night, he would not die suddenly.
"We are not demons." Guo Jia said with a smile. He really thought that there would be no problem if he did this. After all, Zhuge Liang practiced Qi to become a gang.
[After Kong Ming fell into the pit, he kicked Jia Wenhe down. He was accustomed to not working overtime to practice Qi and paddling all day long. It would be a waste to not work overtime with such good physical fitness. ] Guo Jia raised his glass to Jia Xu with a smile on his face.
"If you do this, Kong Ming will be angry later, so you just wait to be punished." Chen Xi said angrily. Anyway, when he was here, he should teach Kong Ming one lesson, keep the jobs that should be kept, and Kong Ming would spend the rest of the time Do whatever you like.
Guo Jia and others looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes, and then they all raised their glasses to cover it up. Do you think we are done with it like this? What's the joke? After a while, if you see the opportunity and Kong Ming goes to study, it's your turn to work overtime. For such an old person, walking around every day and not working hard will mean nothing!
Chen Xi glanced at the people present and his eyelids dropped slightly. Although he didn't know what these people were planning, he just wanted to make sure that there was nothing wrong with him.
"It's the middle of the year. I plan to go on inspection. Although there are organized inspections, I can go down by myself occasionally. Tomorrow I will take Kong Ming out to explain the related industries. After the first phase of teaching is completed, I'll go down and take a look at the situation." Chen Xi said to several people calmly, while Guo Jia and others had expressionless faces.
"Do you think Zichuan has discovered our plan?" Guo Jia frantically sent a message to Liu Ye and Jia Xu, Man Chong favored several people, but still had that drunken smile on his face.
"That guy is not very sensitive to these things, but his mind is fine at all. He just doesn't want to pay attention to these things. He is probably thinking about how to skip class." Liu Ye replied casually through voice transmission, " It’s not easy to trick him.”
"I think Zichuan just estimated that he had taught Kong Ming enough and he could go out to play, so he estimated that he could barely use it now, so he just found a reason to prepare." Jia Xu glanced at Chen Xi with disdain, and then Send messages to others.
"Stop or not?" Liu Ye asked.
"I can't stop him. He has been working hard for the past six months. Even when Kong Ming came back, he didn't take much rest. Counting last year, in fact, he really didn't mess around in the past two years. He should be working. They are all working, now I want to go out and take a look, I can’t stop you." Jia Xu said calmly, and Guo Jia had the same idea.
"Then there is nothing to say. Let him go, and by the way, we will also clean up various places. It is difficult to say about the situation of officialdom. Zhong Yu and I take turns leading the inspection team. In fact, there is no way to completely solve this problem. From this perspective, Zhong Yu My understanding is correct, the rule of law cannot solve all problems." Man Chong said with a sigh.
Since Yuanfeng took control of Chang'an in the second year of his reign, Man Chong and Xun Yue have been in charge of the administration of officials and constantly checking those who have crossed the line, but this problem has not yet been solved.
If anything, although Man Chong and Xun Yue are both representatives of the rule of law, Man Chong is a pure rule of law in the true sense, that is, the law is the law, the law is merciless and impartial, while Xun Yue uses Xunzi's ideas , The rule of law is only the final constraint, morality is the criterion of society, and the rule of law cannot restrict all aspects.
However, judging from the current situation, Xun Yue’s consideration is correct. Blindly pursuing the rule of law seems not only to be unable to solve the problem, but also to cause considerable problems. Although fair rule of law does protect the bottom line of the social environment, it is always Man Chong was also a little tired of being constrained by this bottom line. Now the Han Dynasty was close to Xun Yue's rule of law.
What should be strict is still strict. The law is the red line, but it has been added to the education and moral standards. From a certain perspective, this is helpless.
Blindly strengthening the law and filling loopholes can only solve the problems that occurred before. It is difficult to solve the behavior of some professionals in the later period who specialized in studying every word, analyzing word by word, and then exploiting loopholes. In just ten years, Manchong continued to refine the law. Omissions were constantly checked and filled, and some people kept finding new loopholes. The final text of the law was so thick that it could not fit on a bookshelf.
Xun Yue said at that time, "I'm afraid you won't show this method to the people."
Man Chong was silent for a long time, then looked at the original canon that could not fit on the bookshelf, and then looked at Xun Yue. He knew that if he continued on this road, the people would probably not know the law, and they would only be able to It was explained by some professionals.
At that time, the significance of the law was not even as good as the earlier Qin law, nor as good as the three-chapter law. At least that kind of law, the public knew the provisions and the details.
"Law cannot solve all problems, and morality probably can't either. That's why we have our Xun ancestors." Xun Yue said, "Because neither law nor morality is omnipotent, both require a degree. The former is loose It will breed hidden dangers, and if it is tightened, it will be a harsh government, and the latter is simpler. Whether it is raised too high or placed too low, it will lead to moral collapse."
After that, Man Chong returned to the central government to sort out the laws, and Xun Yue took the initiative to go to all directions to conduct supervision. Also because it involved social ethics and education issues, Xun Yue's functions naturally involved part of Chen Xi's functions.
Until now, Chen Xi is still providing education subsidies. As for compulsory education, the biggest problem so far is actually the number of teachers. During this period, Chen Xi threatened many aristocratic families in the Central Plains. In the end, it was even downgraded to only literacy and morality. Just pass it.
After all, the status of teachers in this era is so high that they only know Chinese characters and do not have much self-understanding of the words of saints. Simply put, none of the older generation who have never done Liyan dares to establish a school. On the contrary, young people are attracted by Chen Xi Encouraged to dare to do this.
The problem is that Chen Xi was privately scolded by many old guys for misleading people. Of course, Chen Xi also went to the big guys to tell him that he was inheriting culture, but it was of no use.
In fact, because pens, inks, paper and inkstones are all produced by ourselves, and the seats and benches in the land and school buildings are all made by ourselves, the actual cost of education for millions of school-age children is less than 10 billion per year. The main part is paying teachers.
Although most teachers in this era are very domineering and say that they don’t need a salary, don’t insult me. Since I accept you as a disciple, you can just divide the cultivation for me according to your family’s situation. If your family is a butcher, then Bring me dried meat. If you are a fisherman, bring me dried fish. If you are a farmer, bring me some millet. That will do!
To say how much these things are worth is actually not equivalent to the cost of teaching in this era. The price of knowledge in this era is really too expensive. Without Chen Xi, copying a book would probably cost thousands. Money, and it also depends on whether the other party will give you face.
Therefore, most of the teachers who come to teach are very arrogant. They don't charge me, and you don't pay me a salary. I teach here, and leave me a piece of land next to it. I farm and teach at the same time. I teach by words and deeds while farming and reading.
I really thought that all of us who came to teach were here to make money. How dare you, Chen Zichuan, send money to humiliate me! After thinking about it, Chen Xi decided to give students money and things to their teachers during the New Year, and let the students take the money to buy things for their teachers.
By the way, of course there are stupid students here who took money and didn’t give their teachers New Year’s gifts. As for this situation, some teachers laughed it off, while others kept it in mind. Chen Xi couldn’t say anything about it. .
However, because of this, the area of a school building in a single village is very large. Unfortunately, the land in most places is not very valuable now, especially since Chen Xi has begun to curb land prices, so larger school buildings are not a big problem.
It can be said that Chen Xi can basically afford compulsory education at this period, but he is still struggling to survive. The only problem is that Chen Xi does not have so many teachers.
There are tens of millions of school-age children, and Chen Xi can't find a million suitable teachers. It's as simple as that. All the aristocratic families in the Central Plains combined can't find a hundred thousand qualified teachers in the eyes of the aristocratic families. And according to Chen Xi's requirements, those who can study To put it bluntly, the kind that can only teach children can’t raise more than one million, so it only costs about 10 billion a year for compulsory education, which is still very low now.
In short, it is so miserable. Xun Yue was giving moral education before, but he has not come back since he went there once. It is estimated that even if he comes back, he will not be able to solve this problem. According to Chen Xi's estimate, this matter will not be solved within ten years. Things can only cool down first.
Or else, like now, teachers only teach basic Chinese characters such as Thousand Character Classic and low-level mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
By the way, this version has been removed from primary school education and is generally considered to be at the level of elementary education. Although Chen Xi wanted to beat someone, he secretly went to see Liu Chan and Chen Qian who had already recognized commonly used Chinese characters and learned the four arithmetic operations. Chen Xi felt that This is considered elementary education and reasonable.
You can believe that Yang Hu, who is just over three years old, can already understand most of the Thousand-Character Classics. From a certain perspective, the presence of a mother does have a great impact on the learning of her children.
In the eyes of others, these things have been completed quite well, but in Chen Xi's opinion, they are too far behind. Education, as the foundation of the country, really does not have a big problem. This is almost the basis for the prosperity of everything else. However, it is also the same is the most difficult one.
Therefore, Chen Xi thought that it was time to go down and see the progress of the things in his name, but he could not continue to delay like this.
