"Isn't it just Enke? A group of low-income idiots are selected to be teachers? What level of students can they teach? Let them do it. In the future, knowledge will not be as good as the previous generation. Even if all the people are literate, there will be no What's the use? At most, it's for writing family letters and keeping accounts." Cui Dunli of the Boling Cui family said contemptuously.
This person has a vicious vision. Although this view is extreme, it is reasonable. If a student only studies these three volumes of elementary education from beginning to end, he will only gain literacy and will not learn any useful knowledge. It is far from enough to seek fame through the imperial examination.
Zheng Shuping of the Zheng family in Xingyang echoed: "Yes, the truly profound and useful knowledge can still be learned and passed down in our respective families. Those stupid idiots imagine that they can enter the court and compete with us after reading a few books on elementary school? Is it just a dream? .”
Cui Junsu, the minister of the Ministry of Rites and from the Cui family of Qinghe, said worriedly: "This is wrong. The key point of the court's selection of talents is selection. Everyone is literate. Although they are all superficially literate, there are so many people that it is impossible to pick just one from a hundred. How about choosing one, or even one in ten thousand? There will always be one or two talented people."
"The brilliance of some talents cannot be concealed. I think that perhaps this is the real purpose of the imperial court in promoting universal literacy."
Zheng Shuping asked: "What about books? How do you explain books? Ordinary people cannot buy advanced academic books, and without the guidance of famous teachers, it is difficult to understand them."
Cui Junsu said seriously: "Books are not a problem. The champion can print three volumes of Mongolian studies at a low price, and he can print any book in the world at a low price. Our respective family libraries are indeed profound, but don't forget that the royal library is the same It’s not simple. Our Majesty has the courage to open up the royal library.”
hiss……
Everyone was silent.
Cui Dunli of the Boling Cui family said solemnly: "If all kinds of books can be purchased at low prices, then lecturers will not be a problem. Most of the geniuses and wizards in the world are those who are self-taught, or take the natural world as their teacher .As Brother Jun said, the brilliance of some talents cannot be concealed."
What should I do? Do you just have to watch talents being raided by the imperial court?
That's right, what Wu Xing Qi Wang wants is not to kill all the talents, but to take talents into his arms, that is, to compete with the imperial court for talents.
Although the Qiwang family of the Five Surnames has great achievements, generations of descendants in the clan have multiplied like a big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves. But compared with the people in the entire world, the number is not worth mentioning.
Sometimes things like luck are really mysterious. It is not uncommon for a certain generation to have mixed good and bad, or for talents to stop flowing.
What should you do when your family has no top talents in this generation? Then we can only use external forces to recruit some folk geniuses, whether they come to be loyal, whether they marry and change their surnames, in short, they must be tied to the family's chariot. Only in this way can we ensure that it is passed down from generation to generation.
It is not the inheritance of knowledge, but the inheritance of power in hands.
Once the nodes of a certain generation are cut off, causing the resources and rights in their hands to change hands and be taken away by others, it will be difficult to fight back. After all, everyone who holds a high position wants their rights to flow to their family descendants as much as possible. That is, the private transfer of rights. This trick has been used from generation to generation throughout the ages.
Before the imperial examination, there was no need to go to such trouble. When selecting officials in the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system, family blood came first. This was the rule set by everyone.
After the imperial examination system was introduced, bloodline was no longer a concern, but weren't the officials who set the questions, took the exams, and managed admissions all come from aristocratic families? Want to fish into the dragon's gate? Okay, submit the paper. To put it bluntly, it's just to show off your talent and then get a certificate. Only after you have expressed your loyalty to us will we hire and support your official development.
Otherwise, just go back to where you came from and fail.
What did you say? What should I do if I select talents for the country?
What do I care about you? Your Majesty has no one to use? What does this have to do with us?
Our first consideration is that the people His Majesty uses cannot be used to deal with us.
Closer to home, at this point in the discussion, everyone feels that the matter of Kai Enke is another problem, a problem for the aristocratic family.
I saw a young boy from the Wang family in Taiyuan come out, salute to all the elders, and said loudly: "Uncles, this junior has a suggestion, should I take it seriously or not?"
Wang Si from the Wang family in Taiyuan stood up and introduced with a smile: "Everyone, let me introduce you to Wang Jishan, my brother's youngest son. He has been studying at home and it is his first time to go out. Please take care of me."
Cui Dunli of the Bolingcui family smiled and said: "Wang Jishan? I have long heard that the Wang family has produced an extraordinary talent. He is hidden deep and is no less than the top five talents in the world. It should be you, right? ?”
"Hahahaha, okay, Qilin'er of the Wang family in Taiyuan. If you have any ideas, please feel free to speak. There are many talents in this world, and it is the world of you young people. To deal with Xiao Rui, we old people can't keep up, and we have to rely on you of the same age. Young people." Zheng Shuping also echoed.
Wang Jishan bowed again and then said: "Since what the champion is doing is a conspiracy, we have no reason to object to Enke. Then we might as well get involved."
"Get involved? We help the imperial court teach and educate people? Do you want to help them complete national literacy?" Many people's faces dropped. This is such a bad idea. Who are you on? Is it because we don’t die quickly enough?
"My dear nephew, the reason why they held the Encore is because they are in urgent need of scholars, and even more so teachers. Eighty percent of the scholars in the world are here with us. Do you have any explanation for this idea?" Cui Junsu reminded, and it was given. Wang Jishan gave an explanation.
Wang Jishan nodded and said: "Yes, of course we are not simply helping the imperial court teach and educate people."
"Uncles, everyone must understand that no matter whether we help or not, we cannot stop the imperial court's determination to teach and educate people. If we don't help, we will delay them for a year or two at most. In the end, it is still the same."
"But if we intervene, it will be different."
Fan Yanglu's people ridiculed: "Isn't it true that we have been talking for a long time in vain? What we gathered today to discuss is how to plan and participate in destroying their national literacy."
Wang Jishan smiled, "Why destroy it? Just now, Uncle Jun said that the purpose of the imperial court is to select talents, and only one in ten thousand will be selected to select talents. Let people who are loyal to the imperial court teach and select talents. Of course, the ones selected will be those from the imperial court. .”
"But if we participate, and the teachers in the school are all our people, will we be able to discover talents earlier than the imperial court? By then, it will not be us who have the final say whether to recommend or not?"
"Should you keep it for my use? Or should you hide it from others? The initiative is all on our side."
Hiss... This, this is a plan to draw out the firepower!
Cui Dunli burst into laughter, "Excellent! He is indeed the Qilin'er of the Wang family. He is extraordinary in his actions and uses evil schemes to solve evil schemes. Brother Wang, this son will become as famous as his champion Hou Xiaorui in the future."
"Ahem, Brother Cui is too generous. This kid is still very shallow and needs more experience." Wang Si said humbly.
