When Liu Zhixing heard this, his head suddenly turned upside down.
This general thought a little too simply. It is easy to compile a book about national justice. You can record the deeds of those national heroes based on history books, or you can even make up some stories out of thin air.
Even during this Mongol-Yuan invasion, many generals, common people, and heroes who died in battle are good materials, such as General Wei Changqing.
Then rack your brains to raise the status of Yanhan and enhance national self-confidence. For example, it can be traced back to the mythical period, how about.
All in all, editing a book like this is easy. But it is not easy for scholars to read this book.
After thousands of years of development. Confucian scholars generally only read Confucian classics. One is orthodoxy. The second is the need for imperial examinations.
In fact, very few scholars nowadays write poems and lyrics. Those are all crooked ways.
In such a situation? How can scholars be allowed to read books about national justice? Read the law? Study arithmetic? Reading military books?
The monarch and his ministers were as close to each other as a fish in water. Nothing bad to say. Liu Zhixing took a deep breath and said sincerely to Wu Nian: "General. I think it's difficult. No. It's almost impossible."
"Zhi Xing. You are cowardly. You have never done it, so how do you know it won't work? As the saying goes, everything depends on man, and man can conquer nature. I think back then, I used 300 elite soldiers to fight against Jin Huan Mountain. Who knew at that time that I would be what I am now? Where are the soldiers from the 180,000 households in the land of the Three Prefectures?"
"A real man does his work. Move forward courageously and vigorously."
"Moreover, I am the king now. I set up the imperial examination. I want to test them on national justice, law, and arithmetic. If they don't know it, then don't blame me and close the door to officialdom for them."
"On the contrary. They are not limited to reading Confucian classics. They know laws and arithmetic, and they also know that Han and traitors are not at odds with each other. They know that it is not easy for us Yan Han to fight against foreigners. I welcome them to become officials."
Wu Nian didn't take it seriously, his eyebrows were straight, his eyes were open, and his eyes were full of determination and enterprising.
Liu Zhixing smiled bitterly and was not optimistic about this matter. This is a challenge to the entire Confucian social structure. It may not be easy to fight the Mongols.
But who calls Wu Nian the king?
Liu Zhixing thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, clasped his fists and said, "Okay. I'll give it a try."
"This is knowledge and action. You are in charge of internal affairs, and I am in charge of killing. If we work together, everything can be settled." Wu Nian laughed, holding his head high, full of momentum.
"The general is right." Wu Nian's enterprising attitude completely inspired Liu Zhixing's fighting spirit. He also raised his head and said with clasped fists.
Then, he stood up and strode away.
Yes.
Confucianism must also change. Scholars must change.
We, the General of the Han Dynasty, do not support scholars who only study dead books.
"Imperial examination? That's right. I need a large number of officials to help me manage the entire country. Now it's the three prefectures, then the five prefectures and thirty-two counties in Liaodong, and finally."
Wu Nian suppressed the smile on his face and turned to look in the direction of Chu Du.
.........
During the Chu Kingdom period. There are official schools in all prefectures and counties. During the Mongol invasion, these official schools were of course abandoned. Either the teacher ran away, or the student ran away.
When the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty captured the 32 counties in the five prefectures of Liaodong, the situation was stable. Official education was controlled by the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and an imperial examination was even held.
But the result was not good, the champion was killed by the assassin sent by Wu Nian. Jinshi and Juren selected by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Currently, he is either in the capital of Mongolia or Yuan Dynasty, or staying at home, not daring to stand out.
There are very few scholars who truly have a clean family background and have not served as officials for the Mongolian people or participated in the imperial examinations of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
But scholars grow up in batches. As Wu Nian's power grew stronger, the three mansions under his rule became increasingly stable.
Many people send their children to study, and corresponding private schools are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.
A new generation of scholars is beginning to emerge.
Liu Zhixing's plan was divided into two steps. The first step is to rebuild the abandoned official schools in various places and recall the academic officers, or to find suitable academic officers and recall the scholars of the year.
Step two. Add more academic officers who are proficient in law, arithmetic, and history, and add more courses.
This matter was officially issued by the General Fu Han Mansion. It was conveyed to the chief officials of the prefecture and county, and then in the form of a notice, it was announced to the entire three prefectures.
As soon as the news came out, the three mansions were in an uproar.
The people don't care, they don't understand, they just watch the fun. Moreover, Wu Nian's prestige in the three mansions is really too high.
As long as Wu Nian didn't suddenly become a coward, conquering and extorting money.
Wu Nian can do whatever he wants.
But scholars are different.
Jinghai County.
In front of the bulletin board. Two yamen servants stood holding knives to maintain order. A government official had his right hand broken off. He had a fierce look on his face and exuded a strong aura. He was obviously a veteran who had retired from the army.
Such old soldiers are even more intimidating than healthy government officials. A glare can intimidate Xiaoxiao.
The crowd surrounded the bulletin board.
There are traders and lackeys, as well as scholars. After understanding the contents of the notice, the traders and footmen left quickly, leaving only the scholar.
There were two young scholars, one tall and one thin, looking at the bulletin board with ugly expressions on their faces.
The tall one is called Liu Cheng, and the thin one is called Liu Wu. The two are cousins.
Looking at the bulletin board, the two brothers planned to say a few words, but they stopped talking after looking at the government servant with a severed hand. The two looked at each other and arrived at Liu Cheng's home.
Liu Cheng's family was relatively wealthy, with a large house and slaves.
The two came to the study and sat down. Liu Cheng immediately asked the maid to go down and make tea.
"General, who has been deceived by this? He behaves so randomly. As a scholar, just read the teachings of the saints. What kind of law, arithmetic, and history books should you read? We are not legalists or historians."
Liu Cheng couldn't hold back and spoke.
"Yes. There must be some villain who made slanderous remarks in front of the general." Liu Wu also nodded in agreement.
Although the two brothers are young, they are very talented and learned. They were scholars in the official school eight years ago. The two of them were also very honest and did not have any affair with the Meng Yuan people.
In fact, they were very supportive of Wu Nian.
There was a drought in Liaodong, and in the year of Wu, people prayed for rain.
In this natural disaster, there is no distinction between rich and poor, scholars and ordinary people. Everyone is dying of thirst and starvation.
They didn't dare to say that Wu Nian had done something wrong.
It's definitely not Wu Nian's fault, but there are villains around Wu Nian.
The villain has entered into slander.
To put it simply, they are Wu Nian's own people. Now there are differences among our own people.
There are not a few people like the two brothers in the three mansions. Things quickly escalated. Readers reacted violently to this incident.
Many scholars agreed to go to Jiang County together to meet Wu Nian.
"Qingjun side".
Whoever came up with this bad idea, let the big guy kill this villain.
