"Your Majesty, universities, county schools, and rural schools are about to start their studies. People in humble positions think that students' academic studies are not enough. Instead, they should conduct military training for a period of time, which can calm students' minds and demonstrate the importance of both civil and military education in the school, both internally and externally. What is the purpose of concurrent studies?” The third thing Yang Shanhui wants to say is still related to Er Liu. The two put forward their personal opinions on the current education system and presented it in the form of a complete plan. Gave it to Yang Ji. However, the speaker was changed to Liu Xuan.
Needless to say, Liu Xuan's talents and learning are terrifying. He can draw squares with his left hand and circles with his right hand, recite scriptures orally, read articles that are completely different from the scriptures, and listen to other people's speech. In the end, he was "assessed". Among the five things he did at the same time, not a single word was wrong. In front of him, Zhou Botong, Guo Jing, and Xiao Longnu, who are proficient in left-right fighting techniques in martial arts, were at most three primary school students.
Liu Xuan's unique talent coupled with his diligence in asking questions and studying hard make Liu Xuan in the contemporary academia, he is completely alone in seeking defeat but cannot succeed. His understanding of any one of the hundreds of academic schools is unrivaled in the world. exist. No matter which one the "grandmasters" debate with him, they are all humiliating themselves. Of course, if we compare astronomy alone, he is not as good as Liu Zhuo, who is deeply involved and dedicated, but when it comes to overall achievements, Liu Zhuo is not as good as him.
"Military training?" Yang Ji was stunned for a moment. He also knew that "military training" existed in the Shang Dynasty. Due to the constant wars among the princes, the rulers attached great importance to military training. In addition to training the army, they also trained nobles through schools. Military education is carried out, and the teaching content is the same as that of the army, focusing on archery, swordsmanship, unarmed combat, chariot driving, art of war, battle formations, and military drills, and the teachers are provided by the most outstanding officers.
At that time, the level of military skills was often the criterion for judging whether a person was virtuous, so there was a saying in "Guoyu·Jinyu" that "shooting the emperor with sufficient strength means he is virtuous".
Ironically, Confucianism has received mixed praise and criticism in later generations. Its founder, Confucius, was not only a ruthless man like Xiang Yu, but in the teaching process, he regarded the skills of archery, imperialism, and numbers as more important than etiquette, music, and calligraphy. Even more important. "The Analects of Confucius·Zilu" mentioned that "a good man teaches the people for seven years, and he can become a soldier" and "not teaching the people to fight is to abandon them", which proves that Confucius elevated military training to a very high position.
The weak "pseudo-Confucian students" who were popular in the Song Dynasty and could not lift their hands or shoulders, if they had lived in Confucius's time, they would not even be qualified to be his students; if there were such useless students, I am afraid Confucius would tear them apart. All thoughts are there.
"It's military training!" Liu Xuan drank tea and said: "The purpose of the imperial court's opening of schools was to cultivate talents for the Sui Dynasty to manage the army and to provide peace to the people, rather than weak scholars who could only study hard. Let me suggest After the start of the school year, let township and county schools divide university students into countless military formations according to school age and subjects, and then select outstanding officers from the army and teach students regular military drills every day. This can not only sharpen students' will and train them Students’ physical fitness, expanding students’ horizons, and cultivating students’ bravery!”
""Zhou Li·Bao Shi" says: "To raise a country's sons with the Tao is to teach six arts: the first is the Five Rites, the second is the Six Music, the third is the Five Shooting, the fourth is the Five Royals, the fifth is the Six Books, and the sixth is the Nine. number. "Among them, archery and imperialism are to train scholars to strengthen their bodies. This is what ancient scholars did."
"The martial culture of the Sui Dynasty was very strong, and all aspiring young people were proud to join the army. Every lieutenant and general in the army was happy to hear the battle. _o_m At the beginning of the founding of the country, whether it was the Guanlong nobles, the Shandong aristocratic families, the Jiangnan gentry, or the local tyrants, The children of their clan are all people who value both civil and military affairs, so the important officials in the court and local military and political officials are not only people with thorough knowledge of the Five Classics and outstanding literary talents, but also talented generals who can kill the enemy on horseback."
"However, the world has only been at peace for more than twenty years. Although the direct descendants of the aristocratic family are still good at both civil and martial arts, the more numerous side disciples have given up on martial arts and concentrated on developing the arts. This is because ordinary military achievements cannot be achieved by them. Instead of going out with the army but not getting any military merit, it is better to study hard and at least rely on the family to get an official position."
"Now that the saints have resumed their studies in an all-round way, schools at all levels contain the ardent hopes of the saints, especially universities and imperial colleges. They are destined to be the cradle of cultivating civil and military officials in the Sui Dynasty. We must not simply focus on academic indoctrination, while neglecting the cultivation of martial arts and abandoning the cultivation of the Sui Dynasty. Martial spirit.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Zhuo next to him also said: "The school curriculum is not. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

Students have a lot of free time every day; except for those students who are sincerely interested in learning, the rest gradually become lax and lazy. There are also some students who do not have the talent for learning, and the army also needs officers who can read and write. If the school has military training and martial arts classes, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? "
Yang Ji naturally knew the importance of the "martial spirit". The Sui Dynasty was still taking steps to expand. Without the support of force, there would be no talk of hegemony. Once the foreign race resurfaces, the offensive and defensive momentum will be fundamentally reversed. _o_m
Looking at the Sui Dynasty again, Yang Ji found that just as Liu Xuan said, the founding officials were all civilized and military, and practiced both internally and externally. A powerful person. However, now even the Guanlong nobles, who are known as military heirs, have begun to indulge in luxury. Many children of the Guanlong nobles gave up martial arts and specialized in literature. Only those bastards and clan sons who did not receive much support from their families had to rely on military exploits to gain fame without the family's training and paving the way.
If this continues for a long time, the world will definitely form a pattern where the nobles and the martial arts are lowly. If in the future, capable people will study hard and neglect martial arts, it will not be a good thing for the world of the Sui Dynasty.
This was an oversight on his part, but fortunately Er Liu mentioned it.
Thinking of this, Yang Ji said to them: "The idea of military training and opening martial arts classes is a good one and very necessary. Not only should you do it, but you must do it with your heart."
Er Liu held his hands in awe and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to form an education system that combines civil and military affairs and pays equal attention to civil and military affairs as soon as possible."
Yang Ji nodded when he heard this and told Yu Shinan, who was in charge of the officials next to him: "Bo Shi, many generals have retired due to various reasons. These people are actually the best martial arts teachers. After you go down, immediately let the counties and counties count them. , and then select retired generals who are literate and outstanding to learn from Cao."
"I humbly obey my orders!" Yu Shinan bowed his hands and obeyed. .
