Xu Mochen needs talents. Strictly speaking, he needs a lot of horses.
It is not enough to rely on the few ministers he has promoted in the court. He needs middle and low-level officials who are more loyal to the court.
We also need students from all over the world to pretend to be great officials, emperors, and human beings in their hearts.
The embarrassing thing is that he can't shout to the world: Humanity! You are raised by immortal cultivators!
After saying this, the people must have thought that the emperor was crazy.
There are immortal cultivators in this world who are hiding things from the human race. Even if they are exposed, they can use soul searching and brainwashing to erase their memories.
For immortals, mortals have more of a mentality of faith and awe, or a few fragments of legends left behind.
With the ability of immortal cultivators, it is not a problem at all to hide the truth from ordinary people in an era of uninformed people and limited information.
On the contrary, once it was revealed that everyone could cultivate immortality, Xu Mochen thought that the world would be in chaos.
Tang Derun perfectly completed his explanation work as a special assistant. Xu Mochen needs to face the problem himself.
For the first time, I realized the shackles of cultural and spiritual dominance.
Xu Mochen began to collect information.
As an emperor, of course there are many resources such as classical books.
He didn't pay much attention to it before. It was just like Blue Star, the Four Books and Five Classics were sage words and eight-legged essays.
Hundreds and thousands of years of imperial examinations eventually formed a fixed routine.
What Xu Mochen wanted back then was to issue an edict after unification, open up people's wisdom, and introduce a modern education model.
But things are different now. If the culture is formulated by immortal cultivators, there must be content in it that restricts the breakthrough of thinking.
There are piles of books piled up in the imperial study room. Xu Mochen has nothing to do lately, so he reads books every day.
Fortunately, I have the consciousness to pick up a book and scan it, and I have basically read it.
"This is about the induction of heaven and beings," he said to himself, holding several books in hand, "but it's different. It's more about people's absolute fear of destiny, destiny, secrets and appearances.
In other words, the immortal cultivators create a kind of "heaven" that cannot be overridden. Once the human race changes, they can create corresponding heavenly warnings to stop the human race.
A good idea, brainwashing starts with the baby. "
There are not many people who can help Xu Mochen when it comes to studying and engaging in culture.
Tang Derun is the general manager of the embroidery department. In terms of the company, he is a special assistant. In terms of the national structure, he is actually the head of the KGB.
He is very good at spying on intelligence, collecting information, assassination, etc., but if he is asked to study... he will fail.
Neither can Shen Zhining. She was a college student before time travel, but she received a modern education.
Although Du Niang is connected to her head, Du Niang doesn't have all the information.
The key is that Du Niang will not give an answer to the question "How to solve the cultural domination of immortal cultivators".
Xu Mochen actually thought that there might be immortal cultivators in Blue Star just like here, but they were slowly retreating under the aura of the technology of the times and embarked on the path of separation from the human race.
But how Blue Star survived the era of immortal cultivators' rule, he really didn't know.
Gu Jinge is best at playing the flute, that is, she is a musical artist, and she was a former princess, so she does not need to study. She only needs to learn a few female classics to recognize the characters.
Most of the princesses are vases, used for marriage, and do not require too high a diploma.
Shu Wuyin... Not to mention, she was a first-rate ghoul, invulnerable to fire and water, and invincible in the world. It was her body she was talking about.
At present, it seems that Shu Wuyin has not returned to normal, and there is a high probability that his head is also normal.
Not to mention other things, there are many technicians who are engaged in medicine, machinery and so on. .
So this group of people could only sit in the imperial study room and watch Xu Mochen buried in a pile of books.
Shen Zhining held a glass of freshly squeezed juice: "The imperial examination is the college entrance examination, which selects talents for the country.
But here, it becomes a matter of selecting talents for immortal cultivators.
Your Majesty, I think the most critical breakthrough lies in the education model.
changes.
But to move this piece is equivalent to moving the cake that everyone in the world will eat. "
That's right, if Xu Mochen dares to do it, Shifang World will dare to stab him.
Singer Gu Jin also had a glass of juice in her mouth. She bit the straw on her red lips and sipped on it: "Daqian was originally a small border country in the north, and it actually only absorbed part of the Chinese culture.
On the contrary, after unification, Chinese culture was formally accepted and Chinese studies were formed.
This is a legacy from ancient times, and it is not easy to make changes. "
Xu Mochen was too lazy to talk to these two people.
Yes, yes, you are right.
There are also people who can help Xu Mochen, such as Zhao Lingbo.
Zhao Lingbo is a leader among the talented girls in the capital. She has read poetry and books since she was a child.
"I didn't feel it before. I just thought that the words of saints and various precepts were clear and organized." She knew that Xu Mochen was irritable, so she comforted him softly and helped organize it. "Now that I think about it carefully, it is actually all organized.
It is said that reading can improve your intelligence, but if you read too many such books, your thinking will be blocked. "
"The immortal cultivators use this to control the human race," Xu Mochen sneered more and more as he watched, "But for the imperial power, such a brainwashed human race is what emperors of all dynasties are happy to see."
Yes, Xu Mochen could see that there was the work of immortal cultivators and the need for the rule of previous emperors.
The policy of obscuring the people, coupled with the backwardness of information transmission, makes it easy to isolate and block changes once they occur.
Such a general environment made it more stable for the emperor to rule.
Finally, Xu Mochen stood up irritably.
Judging from the context that has been sorted out, this situation is difficult to break.
Mu Nanyi, who had been silent until now, now said, "Your Majesty is worried about this issue."
Xu Mochen nodded.
"If you want to make changes in the selection of talents," Mun Nanyi followed his own train of thought, "On the original basis, even if His Majesty makes reforms, the changes will remain the same."
This is the core point of Xu Mochen's troubles.
"Therefore, Your Majesty may wish to think about how to make basic changes," Mu Nanyi suggested. "The social status of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants has been inherited from ancient times to the present.
Scholars ranked first because the path to becoming an official was exclusive to scholars.
Once you become an official, you have power. With power, you will naturally have corresponding benefits. "
This is reality, a reality that Xu Mochen cannot change.
"Then the problem is that ordinary people are busy with basic food and clothing," Mu Nanyi continued, "and don't have much spare time to go to school to study."
Tang Derun stepped forward: "Your Majesty, in fact, after the reunification, you have issued a decree to promote the construction of schools in all states and counties across the country, but..."
Xu Mochen remembered this incident and looked back with a puzzled expression in his eyes.
"It's just that most of the schools are fake," Tang Derun smiled bitterly, "Master Mu made it very clear that the people didn't have enough to eat or wear, so they didn't study."
Xu Mochen immediately grasped the key point: "Sir, what you are saying is that the first step is to improve people's per capita living standards?"
"Your Majesty is already doing this," Mu Nanyi nodded. "The existence of classes cannot be eliminated absolutely. Wei Chen believes that the first step your Majesty must take is to bring most of the people of Daqian to the new high."
Shen Zhining searched for information: "From the perspective of Chinese history, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the popularization of education was indeed a process.
It can be said that in addition to state-led promotion, the improvement of basic living standards is directly proportional to the popularity of education. "
"Write it down," Xu Mochen gestured to Tang Derun to record it. "Everyone, let it go. I will forgive you today."
"Before the unification of Daqian and Qianlong, there were turbulent times. I have experienced that era," Mun Nanyi simply let go. "Even a wise king like your Majesty, when it comes to guiding national policies, he still focuses on military affairs."
Emphasizing military force over literature is the key to the survival of a country in troubled times.
In troubled times, most people who govern a country with benevolence, filial piety and the words of a saint will easily perish.
"Of course, it's not that culture and governance are unimportant," Mu Nanyi continued, seeing Xu Mochen thoughtful, "It's just that the emphasis is different in different periods.
The main problem now is that in the eyes of the courtiers, that is, the immortal cultivators, they have no need to promote the cultural improvement of the people. "
Shen Zhining nodded: "The more popular a country is in terms of education and information transparency, unless it is a dictatorship-type political system, the more difficult it is to control the people."
Immortal cultivators would not want the human race to reach this point.
