After leaving Liu Xiang's bedroom, Wu Nian walked along the corridor to the main room. When I came to the door, I saw Liu Zhixing drinking tea leisurely.
Wu Nian was a little disappointed. It seemed that Goguryeo, Xiong Wuwo, and Chunyuan were not united to attack me.
Otherwise, it would really be fun.
Don’t say anything else. Xiong Wu I has just recovered. How can those crooked melons and cracked jujubes under my subordinates fight with me? After a battle, you can enter Shanhaiguan.
Seize the most powerful pass in the world.
"General." Liu Zhixing heard the movement, put down the tea cup, stood up and bowed.
"No need to be polite." Wu Nian calmed down, waved his hand towards Liu Zhixing with a smile, went straight to the main seat and sat down, raised his head and asked: "Zhixing. Judging from your expression, it shouldn't be a big deal. But you are If there's no big deal, it won't bother me."
"I'm weird."
"It's a big thing. But it's not an imminent big thing." Liu Zhixing sat down calmly, clasped his fists and said, "General. I want to establish official schools in various places."
"Huh?" Wu Nian immediately heard the implication. Many county magistrates and prefects under him advocated the establishment of schools.
But the official school Liu Zhixing talked about was different.
The State of Chu had specialized officials responsible for teaching. There are students from the Imperial College. In the local area, after passing the imperial examination, those who are selected as scholars will enter the local official school to study.
Until he wins the prize or is eliminated.
Wu Nian didn't know much about this, but he understood it as soon as he heard it.
"Zhixing. Do you plan to let me start the imperial examination?" Wu Nian asked with a frown.
"No. It's still early. After all, the general is a general, not the King of Yan. Now to start the imperial examination, the name is not justified. What I mean is to establish an official school first, call back the former scholars, and let them study again, so as to prepare for the future imperial examination. prepare for."
Liu Zhixing shook his head slightly and said.
Take the imperial examination.
Wu Nian is not as good as Emperor Meng Yuan. He calls himself the emperor anyway.
Wu Nian still frowned and said: "Zhixing. The purpose of holding the imperial examination is not to recruit officials? Now we are recruiting officials, isn't it great?"
"It's up to you to lift."
"Inspected by the school."
"I'll make the decision."
"This is a temporary measure now. If you want to recruit talents continuously, you have to take the imperial examination." Liu Zhixing said with a firm expression. Having said this, Liu Zhixing smiled bitterly and said: "And general, we are only in the third government now. From now on, when we are in charge of the world, do I have to recommend all the officials in the world?"
"Yes." Wu Nian nodded reluctantly, stood up and paced back and forth. Selecting talents for the country is really a big deal. But not in a hurry.
Liu Zhixing was really right.
"Zhixing. I won't hide it either. I have no ill intentions towards our books and sages. But look at what scholars who rely on imperial examinations are like."
"Half of the state of Chu was ruined by them. Corrupt Confucianism, corrupt officials, civilian officials suppressed generals, fought for power and profit, and the party was united and opposed."
"Does it mean that the imperial examination is required to select officials?"
Wu Nian sighed and returned to his seat to sit down, full of resistance.
"General. I know the shortcomings of the imperial examination better than the general. I came from the imperial examination. But with all due respect, there is no better way to select talents than the imperial examination."
Liu Zhixing also became helpless, and then explained carefully: "General. The way we select talents now is that I promote, the general makes the decision, and Wang is supervised by the school."
"Actually, it was the inspection system of the Han Dynasty. But what did it look like in the end? Rich families promoted talents to each other. The country's selection channels were monopolized by clans."
"The imperial examination is relatively fair."
"A scholar who becomes an official is better than a businessman who becomes an official. Confucianism at least emphasizes morality, no matter what the world is. There are good and righteous scholars."
After Wu Nian heard this, he sighed deeply. This is a world where no one is worse than the other.
The imperial examination is already the optimal system for selecting officials.
Confucian scholars are already the best reserve officials.
Confucianism at least still talks about how one family can govern the country and bring peace to the world, and it seems that they still have faith in it.
Businessmen govern the country, and businessmen's belief is money.
"I understand. Just do as you say. Reorganize the official education left by the Chu Kingdom. Call the scholars who returned to the Chu Kingdom to go back to the county and government to study."
"But this alone won't work. I have to improve my status as a military commander."
"Increase the spirit of martial arts."
"Let's do this. I will also blatantly set up an Imperial College in Jiang County. And by the way, I will set up a [Sunzi Prison]."
"Facing the entire Liaodong, recruiting students. Learn literature and practice martial arts."
"That's right. Didn't I run a martial arts school before? I expanded the scale of the martial arts school and upgraded my status to [Sun Zi Jian]."
"When I sweep through the 32 counties in the five prefectures of Liaodong and become the king, I will conduct an imperial examination to select civil servants and military generals. In my country, civil servants and military generals are equal. There cannot be a third-grade military general who kowtows to a fifth-grade civil servant. This kind of shit."
"That's right. There are still many things to do. Our official studies can't just read rote books."
"Zhixing. You can join forces with the learned officials of General Fuhan's Mansion and write a book yourself. Write a more passionate book."
"Let me explain one thing to all students. What is nation."
"What is Yanhan?"
"Why. We Han people cannot serve as officials for the Mongolian people. Why do I fight to the death against the invasion of foreigners?"
"Why, even if foreigners establish a dynasty in our Central Plains, it does not count as a change of dynasty."
"Because that's not called a change of dynasty. It's that we Han people have perished."
"Let students read laws, arithmetic, history books, or even military books. Take Confucian moral thought as the backbone and other books as supplements."
"In short, even if I, Wu Nian, become king and secure the world, I am not an ordinary emperor who follows the rules. I want all Han people to know why we are called Han people and what national justice is."
Wu Nian often pondered these things on weekdays. He opened up a chatterbox and put forward his opinions endlessly.
He also had a lot of dissatisfaction with Confucianism and the ancient scholar-bureaucrats.
What a country of etiquette, of course it is good.
But when talking about reason and etiquette, the fist must be big.
Duke Xianggong of Song Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period was a famous benevolent and righteous king. How is the result? He was knocked down with one fist.
all in all. The sages of the Han people are all respectable. However, in the eyes of modern people like Wu Nian, the ideas and philosophies they passed down are more or less imperfect.
What if he did nothing but relied on his arrogant soldiers and powerful generals to pacify the world by force?
At most, it can only be a unified dynasty for two hundred years, and then the general trend of the world will be that if it divides for a long time, it will unite and unite for a long time.
What does it mean?
no.
The thinking of the Han people must be changed and transformed.
The most, the most, the least.
Nationalism must also rise.
All Han people must have backbone, not be insensitive, and not help others do evil. For example, he shaved his head, kowtowed to the Tatars, and flattered himself that he was the "prime minister" or something like that.
For example, Liu Tongxun, Ji Xiaolan, Liu Yong, and Zhang Tingyu are all traitors.
Wu Nian wanted that after Wu Nian, there would be no Mongolian, Yuan, or Manchu Qing people in China.
He felt that this matter was much more meaningful than being an emperor, enjoying the glory and wealth, and having seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards.
