"What?" Xu Ding glanced at him: "The palace of Duke Zhou will be established here, and many agencies in the court will set up branches here one after another, and even have permanent offices. The Imperial College occupies a piece of land here, is it strange?"
The staff was speechless, pointing at the scene in front of them, speechless for a moment.
Guo Ning is a pure martial artist who likes to be straightforward and enforce orders. His impression of Zhongdu was also negative.
In Guo Ning's view, the entire Zhongdu City, whether it is Han'er or Jurchen, whether it is Guwei or Confucian, has become full of twilight with the decline of Dajin. For decades, several emperors have been busy fighting for power, countless bureaucrats have colluded with each other, and most people have long become bastards wallowing in the quagmire.
So when Guo Ning was in Zhongdu, he was always stationed in his capital marshal's mansion, which was similar to a military fortress. When the emperor fell to death at the gate of the Du Marshal's Mansion, he no longer wanted to stay at the Du Marshal's Mansion. In the past two months, he had been stationed at the Wuqing Camp north of Zhigu Village.
After Guo Ning took office as the Duke of Zhou and established his power to govern, many ministers privately proposed that the Duke of Zhou follow the example of Cao Wei and Northern Qi, and establish a new hegemony outside the central capital to gradually build the foundation of the new dynasty. Guo Ning agreed with their opinions, but did not choose a large city in a beautiful place as most people thought.
He decided to combine the many city docks in the so-called Jiuhe Xiashao area near Zhigu Village into a whole as the residence of Zhou Guogong. The entire area includes Baodi, Wuqing, Xianghe and Guoyin counties in Zhongdu Prefecture, Xin'an County in Bazhou and Jinghai County in Qingzhou.
Regarding the name of this tyrant, Guo Ning has privately consulted many important ministers for their opinions, and Xu Ding also gave some ideas. Guo Ning integrated everyone's ideas and finally made the decision to call the new city "Tianjin Mansion".
The word "Tianjin" has a very strong origin.
Firstly, it is named Tianjin River from the Lushui River between Wuqing County and Zhigu Village.
Secondly, the Ding navy relied on sea trade to rise, and its control area also surrounded the Bohai Sea, just like the nine stars of Tianjin lying across Tianjin and Han Dynasty. And "Qianxiang" says: The nine stars in Tianjin are bright and moving, and the rise of soldiers in the world is like quicksand, and the dead are like tangle, which is in line with the majesty of Zhou Guogong Guo Ning to suppress dissatisfaction with the killing of soldiers and torture.
Thirdly, the name of Tianjin also implies the emperor's ferry crossing, which is in line with the secret expectations of the officials.
Now that Bafu is about to be established, many institutions in Zhongdu are making preparations for relocation. During the relocation process, Zhou Guogong was naturally able to abandon many opinions about the rotten smell exuding in Zhongdu and transform it according to his own needs.
Among these institutions, the Imperial College is not the largest.
According to the rules of Dajin, the place where scholars were raised was called Guozijian, which was first placed in Tiande for three years. Since then, the state has successively customized and set up positions such as Doctor of Chinese Studies, teaching assistant, professor, and Collector of Chinese Studies. In the Imperial College, there are often poems, poems, classics and meanings to educate hundreds of people, and hundreds of primary school students. It is for the clan members, relatives and even the children of high-ranking officials above the third rank to study here.
Nowadays, Zhongdu has been hit by military disasters several times. The clan, relatives, and high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Jin have suffered heavy casualties. The Imperial College and even the affiliated Taixue have long had very few students. Not to mention that in Zhongdu City, all the prefectural and state schools have long been abandoned.
Earlier, there was a motion in Zhongdu, saying that the times were difficult in all directions, and we experienced many tragic autumns. Therefore, the gap between officialdom and advancement was wide, and the custom of luck became more and more popular. Right position, one after another towards the direction. Probably because I am eager to achieve success, I can't help but feel embarrassed. But if the imperial center wants to be stable, it still has to establish a school to support scholars and use both civil and military forces.
This statement is obviously a secret criticism of Guo Ning's practice of citing veterans as officials. It seems that the death of Zhang Xingjian still cannot make everyone understand the situation. Guo Ning didn't bother to pay attention at all.
Of course, he also understands that the political skills of retired officers and soldiers are indeed limited.
As the scope of Ding Haijun's control suddenly expanded, a large number of officials were urgently promoted during this period, but a large number of them were unqualified, causing local government affairs to be stumbling. Among the officials, there are some who are rough and harsh on the people they govern, some whose thinking is so confused that they are deceived by others, and what is annoying is that once they become officials, there are also those who let themselves go and start corruption and even bully men and women.
This kind of situation cannot be managed by simply relying on severe punishment afterwards. Therefore, the Confucian scholars are right. A political power needs channels to continuously produce talents and a unified governance concept from the bottom up. To achieve this goal, you still have to read the books of sages.
But Guo Ning will not leave the channels for cultivating talents in the hands of others, at least not right now. As for the methods and rules for cultivating talents, Guo Ning must have the final say.
After determining the location where Bafu was to be established, he immediately made the decision to move the Imperial College out of the center and place it under the direct control of Bafu.
What Xu Ding and others saw was the newly established Imperial College.
Although the construction of the Imperial College has just begun, some of the facilities are ready-made, and some of the newly built buildings from scratch have begun to take shape. What surprised Na Cong was that in the Imperial Academy, in addition to the continuous schools, there was also a school ground, and there was even a huge pool that was expanded on the original pool, and there was a boat parked in the pool!
"We, Dajin, build a country with military force and govern the country with literature. We pay attention to the combination of civil and military methods. For example, the general offices and Jiezhen prefectures in various places are always served by military generals who also manage government affairs. In this case, military people must be familiar with civil administration, and literati must be If you are well versed in martial arts, what’s wrong with that?”
Xu Ding raised his hand to gesture and signaled to the disciples: "Look, there are expected to be a thousand students in this campus, with half of them civilized and military. Most of the scholars come from the local provincial examinations and government examinations, so they can still go there as usual. The methods of poetry, strategy, classics, and laws; while warriors are purely selected from the army to select loyal and brave warriors. There are many overlaps between the two disciplines, and scholars must practice galloping, galloping, marching, and even war history Etc.; warriors must also memorize the meaning of the scriptures and pass basic calculations, laws and other tests."
"This... this kind of practice seems to have never been seen before? In fact, it is not in line with Daikin's rules, right? Isn't there... in Zhongdu City?"
"The talents that Duke Zhou wants are talents who can follow him to rule the country and bring peace to the world; the rules that Duke Zhou wants are rules that can help him rule the country and bring peace to the world. This hegemonic mansion that rises out of thin air means that Duke Zhou is free from any restrictions and is powerful. Who dares to violate their determination to achieve their own goals?”
"As for Daikin's rules..."
Speaking of this, Xu Ding laughed bitterly: "In those days, Emperor Taizu of the Great Jin Dynasty raised troops by the Hun Tong River and spread thousands of people across the territory to establish a great country. What rules did the Great Jin Dynasty have at that time? In recent years, , the great gold was mixed with the Liao and Song Dynasties, and the system gradually became complete, but the country's power was in decline. If it were not for the rise of Zhou Guogong, half of the great gold would have fallen into the hands of Genghis Khan. The Mongolians' brutal and brutal nature, and their habit of consuming hair and drinking blood, compared with What about the Jurchen Wanyan Department back then?"
"The Duke of Zhou has a talent given by heaven, and what he sees is far-sighted. He may only cause material controversy and be taken advantage of by the false emperor."
"Since the rise of Jin Dynasty and Mongolia depended not on rules but on military might, who has the qualifications to tell Duke Zhou which set of rules will work? Since Duke Zhou has done this, he will have to have civil and military scholars in his hands in three to five years. Thousands of people, thousands of people are my disciples, what kind of material arguments cannot suppress them? What kind of political strategies cannot push them forward?"
Xu Ding moved his horse closer to the construction site and continued: "Besides, the role of the Imperial College is not only to teach students... look at that ship."
