"Study?"
After listening to Zhang Shiwei's words, Zhao Ding shook his head and laughed: "I don't know how to study."
"Ah, this..."
Zhang Shiwei's words got stuck in his throat for a moment.
He didn't expect that Zhao Ding would say so directly that he didn't know how to study.
"Master Zhang, how do you think this king compares with those saints from hundreds of schools of thought and the sages in Liezi's biography?"
Zhao Ding asked.
"this...."
Listening to Zhao Ding's words, Zhang Shiwei was even more confused about what to say.
Zhao Ding grinned and said: "Master, even if you say so, I am not a stingy person. In fact, even if Master does not say it, I know it in my heart.
I am far behind the saints of the various schools of thought, and the difference between me and the sages in Liezi's biography is even more like a firefly and a bright moon.
In this case, how can I talk about scholarship? "
"My lord, you are really..."
Zhang Shiwei opened his mouth, and for a moment he really didn't know what to say.
He never expected that Zhao Ding could actually say this.
Being able to hold a high position, yet still be so humble to others, be able to be trusted by His Majesty, and yet not be arrogant or impetuous.
Just rely on this character.
Zhao Ding deserves this trust.
Therefore, invisibly, Zhang Shiwei had more different feelings about this King Yan.
"Therefore, Master, if you ask me to study, you are really exalting me, because the way to study has existed in ancient and modern times, and hundreds of schools of thought have academic arguments. So what can I do if I just say it? Is it worthy of all the scholars? Zibaijia, are these the words of saints from ancient and modern times?
cannot!
In this case, why not stand on the shoulders of those who came before us and pioneer the work of future generations? "
Before Zhang Shiwei could speak, Zhao Ding shook his head and rejected his question.
Because he really can't.
Perhaps based on his experience and the five thousand years of Chinese classics and history in his previous life, he could extract two articles and put them in a cross-section, but it would be meaningless.
It makes no sense at all.
There are also countless classics in this world, and I don’t know how many of them there are to encourage learning and to educate scholars, but what is the result?
Didn’t it also cause such division?
Since ancient times, studying has been simple, but educating people is the most difficult. Of course, studying is also another kind of educating people.
"Master, I won't show off my shame about the academic affairs of the past. The previous academic chapters are enough, but I will just express my own thoughts.
The reform of the Imperial College is imperative, but it does not matter whether one studies or not, but the emphasis is on educating people and moral instruction, and learning can be a little later. "
"Then how does Prince Yan think about educating people?"
Zhang Shiwei asked.
"share weal and woe!"
“How to share joys and sorrows together?”
Zhang Shiwei asked again.
Zhao Ding asked: "What is the origin of Daqian State?"
“Nature is agriculture.”
Zhang Shiwei said without thinking.
"Since it is for agriculture, why not let the Imperial College's supervisors go to the countryside for three years to go deep into the local area and understand the suffering of the people? Only by allowing them to endure the suffering of the people can they understand the suffering of the people.
This is how we share joys and sorrows. "
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shiwei's eyes lit up.
He really hadn't thought about this.
He has today's knowledge and view of the national conditions, on the one hand, from the influence of his family, and another important aspect, from the experience of following his father to the countryside when he was young.
It was at that time that he saw the suffering of the people and made a wish to serve the country in the future.
"I strongly agree with the prince's move, but if the students in the Imperial College are sent to the countryside for three years, part-time work and part-study will be difficult to implement."
After a while, Zhang Shiwei frowned again.
"Can I be fired?"
Zhao Ding asked.
"Can be fired."
Zhang Shiwei replied subconsciously.
But then he hesitated and said, "But in this case, wouldn't it be the person you offend, my lord?"
Zhao Dinghe laughed and said: "Master, do you think that even if I don't do anything, I can get the support of those people? As Master said, since I have returned from Youzhou, it means that I have entered the world. In the center of the whirlpool of Daqian Chaotang, I have already offended the Zhou family, why should I be afraid of offending more people?
There are too many lice, are you still afraid of being bitten? "
Listening to Zhao Ding's words, Zhang Shiwei remained silent.
At this moment, when he looked at Zhao Ding, there was an invisible hint of respect in his eyes.
He cupped his hands, looked at Zhao Ding and said, "I will lead the people to thank His Highness King Yan."
After saying that, he bowed to Zhao Ding.
Zhao Ding's move can be described as thankless, but it is a great good thing for the country and the people.
Being able to stand in the position of a prince and think about the people of Li is indeed much better than other princes.
"Master, you are too polite. Master, you are too polite. This king's move is not an act of a saint, but I also have my own little thoughts.
As you said, I have no power, and my mother and concubine died young. Now that I have offended the Zhou family, the group of nobles headed by the Zhou family already regard me as a thorn in their flesh. If I try to curry favor with them now, I will be in trouble. It is better for inferior people to unite with the great people like Master.
Moreover, rectifying the Imperial College is also a move for me to cultivate my own confidants. If it can bring benefits to the people here, I will naturally be happy.
For me, it is also a move that brings both fame and fortune. "
Zhao Ding said with a smile.
"Well, no matter what, I will thank His Majesty the King of Yan for me to help the people."
Zhang Shiwei smiled inexplicably in his heart when he heard Zhao Ding's words.
When Zhao Ding said this, he felt that Zhao Ding was a lot more truthful.
"Then I wonder what else His Highness, Prince Yan, has to do besides this move? I will give you my full support."
Zhang Shiwei raised his head, looked at Zhao Ding and asked.
While speaking, Zhang Shiwei's title of himself had changed from "old man" to "lower official" without realizing it, and all of this was said very smoothly.
It can be said that at this moment, Zhang Shiwei really recognized Zhao Ding, the idle prince who was once looked down upon by everyone.
"Guozijian, where are the current students? Where do they come from? What proportion are nobles, poor families, and civilians?"
Zhao Ding asked again.
If you want to offend, then offend to death.
The struggle for power was originally a life-and-death struggle. Since Zhao Ding had offended Zhou Shan, he was naturally not afraid of offending the big gang of nobles behind Zhou Shan.
When he was desperate, he directly transferred the Youzhou army to Yingtian.
He wouldn't mind having one.
When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom.
The incense formation reaches the sky, and the city is covered with golden armor.
"Currently there are a total of three thousand students in the Imperial College. Three hundred of them come from the descendants of aristocratic families who are officials of the third rank or above in the current dynasty. They are both civil and military. Seven hundred people are descendants of the families who are officials of the fifth rank and above in the current dynasty. One thousand three hundred People come from the families of officials from fifth to eighth rank or above in the current dynasty, and there are no restrictions on civil and military affairs..."
"What about poor families and common people?"
Before Zhang Shiwei finished speaking, Zhao Ding asked.
"There are only two hundred people from humble families and common people."
Zhang Shiwei scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Only two hundred people in total?"
Zhao Ding was confused for a moment after hearing this data.
"What about the remaining five hundred people?"
Zhao Ding asked again.
"They are all enslaved children of the third-grade officials' families."
Zhang Shiwei scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Forehead...."
As expected, he would rather be a slave of a rich family than a poor scholar.
Listening to Zhang Shiwei's words, Zhao Ding felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why the student union in the Imperial College was so divided.
They are all aristocrats, they have been pampered since childhood, and they are all people who don't care about anything. How can they empathize with ordinary people?
well.
What an evil feudal society.
At this moment.
On the contrary, he felt more and more how lucky he was to live in that era.
People who account for less than 5% of the world's population monopolize more than 994% of educational resources, but the remaining 95% of people can only participate in less than 6% of education. resource.
In this era, it is too difficult for ordinary people and poor families to get ahead.
"Listening to Master's words, I seem to understand why the reform of the Imperial College is so difficult."
After a while, Zhao Ding sighed quietly.
Daqian will always be Daqian, and Youzhou will always be Youzhou.
Although Youzhou is far poorer than the mainland of Daqian, it has also created the character of the people who are brave and fierce, and treat the wealthy families with hatred.
However, in the Imperial College, the vast majority of people are from aristocratic families. As a result, anyone who touches their interests will inevitably become the target of public criticism.
After all, here, the common people are the minority and the powerful are the majority.
The civilian class naturally has no say.
"I have an idea. Master, do you think it's possible to implement it?"
After a while, Zhao Ding sighed leisurely.
"My lord, what do you want to do? You might as well talk to your subordinate."
Listening to Zhao Ding's words, the look on Zhang Shiwei's face gradually became solemn.
“Retain the current number of graduates in the Imperial College and expand the Imperial College.
In addition to these prison students, we will recruit talents from the twenty-four prefectures of Daqian and Jiuzhou for training, and set up different subjects. It is no longer limited to the current study of classics and history in the Imperial College.
You can learn water conservancy, farming, arithmetic, and textiles.
Recruit military personnel and open military schools.
Open a medical hall to train doctors.
The civil architecture major is established to focus on cultivating talents needed by the Ministry of Industry.
In addition, on the basis of the Imperial College, three different levels of colleges are divided, simply divided according to what is studied.
There are three different schools for junior high school, middle school and senior high school, with the Imperial College as the coordinator.
In every junior, middle school, and senior high school, promotion is carried out through examination selection. As for the content of the examination, it is determined by the subjects studied when enrolling.
Today, the Confucianism, history, and literature studied in the Imperial College are the basis, and the key assessment items are still the subjects they studied when they entered school.
As for the selection of talents, they are selected from among the people. All school-age children over ten years old can enroll, including children of noble families, poor families, and common people.
Among them, there are 3,000 nobles, 3,000 poor families, and 3,000 commoners.
In the first three years, all the expenses for schooling were paid by the Ministry of Household Affairs. I will report this to my father later.
The first three years are free, and after the next three years, part-time work-study is provided, with unified food and accommodation, and unified work and rest.
During this period, an assessment mechanism is set up every year, and those who are lazy, lazy, cheating, and slippery will all be expelled.
The number of people is tentatively set at 9,000. Including the original number of people in the Imperial College, the total number of people in the Imperial College has expanded to 12,000. "
Zhao Ding's idea is very simple.
If you want to unite the majority and suppress the minority, then I will suppress your majority to the minority.
The reason why we will expand the number of people is to dilute your voice.
As for the three thousand nobles, most of them were selected from the twenty-four prefectures of Daqian Jiuzhou. In this way, it seems that the number of nobles has reached half. But don't forget, the local nobles and the Yingtian nobles cannot deal with them. .
In this way, there is a lot of room for maneuver.
The most important thing is that the Imperial College is decided by him, Zhao Ding, and Zhang Shiwei. With such an imperial master of the Three Dynasties here, the people who the local nobles can only rely on are him, Zhao Ding, and Zhang Shiwei.
"Prince Yan, this is a conspiracy."
After hearing what Zhao Ding said, Zhang Shiwei looked at Zhao Ding with a wry smile.
Zhao Ding's idea cannot be said to be bad, but it is really good. On the one hand, it dilutes the voice of the top nobles of Daqian in the Imperial College, and on the other hand, it also gives those common people and poor families who have been suppressed before a channel to rise. .
If it can really be implemented, when these newly recruited Imperial College students enter the court, the court situation of Daqian will gradually change.
But there must be resistance, but even those aristocratic families dare not directly come out to oppose it.
Do you want to go against the people all over the world?
So even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they dare not say anything directly.
At the same time, because it has opened many different subjects, it has also cultivated countless talents for Daqian. In this way, it may not take ten years to change the weak situation of Daqian in one fell swoop.
After all, talent is the foundation of a country.
In particular, this move not only benefited the court, but also benefited the local area and the people.
For the first time, military, agriculture, water conservancy, textiles, construction, and medical care were included in the education system of the Imperial College. This not only cultivated a large number of talents for the country, but also greatly solved the situation of scarcity of various local resources.
It can be said to benefit the country and the people.
But the cost required is also extremely huge, because the annual investment in money and food required for these seven subjects is also extremely terrifying.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shiwei took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Dingdao: "I strongly agree with what the prince thinks, but what the prince does will probably affect the interests of many people. At that time, I will impeach you. They will surely fly to His Majesty’s desk like snowflakes,
But what I can express is that I fully support what the prince has done this time.
At the same time, I am willing to donate all my family wealth to support the prince’s school needs. "
"It's not necessary, it's not necessary. I can still afford the money needed to run the school."
Zhao Ding waved his hand extremely calmly.
After operating in Youzhou for eight years, he, Zhao Ding, could still get the money.
It was nothing more than a question waiting for those wealthy families to use it to impeach him.
I saw that when you used the excuse that the treasury had no money, or even took out money, what else could you say?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ding couldn't help but look forward to the scene where he would be speechless when the civil and military officials of the court were speechless.
And even if he has no money, Zhao Ding still has plenty of ways to make money!
It’s nothing more than a question of whether you want it or not!
