Liu Bei had promised many people as disciples before.
For example, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and Ji Jian, Zhen Yan, Cao and Xiahou, Han Hao and other six families, as well as the Gai, Yan and Jia families who came to Liangzhou.
Their direct descendants or the most outstanding children in the family have received Liu Bei's promise that they will officially become Liu Bei's disciples after Liu Bei obtains the true inheritance of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period.
Liu Bei never broke his promise, and he built his reputation on credibility, so before opening the Liangzhou Prefecture School this time, he announced that he would fulfill his promise.
All those who have obtained their promise can send their chosen candidates to Liangzhou to study. Liu Bei will first let them enroll, and then hold a private ceremony to accept them as disciples, making it an unbreakable oath.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both got married in the same year as Liu Bei, but they both had children earlier than Liu Bei.
Guan Yu's eldest son Guan Ning is five years old, and Zhang Fei's eldest son Zhang Chi is four years old. They are both old enough to enter kindergarten classes.
It is worth mentioning that all the children of these two good brothers were named by Liu Bei.
Liu Bei felt that since the children were no longer the same, it would be boring to give them the same names. At the same time, he also felt that those names were not pleasant, so he personally named the children of these two good brothers.
Jian Yong's eldest son Jian Duan is also four years old this year, and was also named by Liu Bei.
Jian Yong asked Liu Bei for his opinion at that time. Liu Bei laughed loudly and said that Jian Yong's daily behavior was inappropriate and careless, and he was often criticized by others, so he named his son Duan so that he would behave properly in the future and not be ridiculed by others.
Jian Yong was very angry at the time, but later adopted the name.
Ji Jian is simple. He has two sons, one is six years old and the other is five years old. The eldest son Ji Xiao, the second son Ji Bin, and several daughters are very fertile men. All the children are named by Liu Bei. of.
This time it was the eldest son Ji Xiao who was accepted as a disciple.
The children of his earliest team members were all whom Liu Bei had promised to accept as his disciples. Now that Liu Bei has officially received the inheritance, their children, a group of little cubs, all immediately became disciples of Liu Bei, and were accepted as disciples by Liu Bei as a sign of affirmation. Will train them carefully.
These Yuancong elders do not have a high family background or strong resources and connections, but their loyalty to Liu Bei is unquestionable. In return, it is natural to give them the best quality resources.
This will further bind them and make them die-hard loyalists who are willing to go through fire and water for Liu Bei.
Then came Zhen Yan. Zhen Yan was still young. Her son was only one year old and could not go to school.
However, considering the great help from the Zhen family to him, Liu Bei granted the Zhen family one more place, so that Zhen Ou, Zhen Yan's five-year-old nephew, could enter the state school in advance and become Liu Bei's disciple.
Cao Cao didn't say anything anymore. Cao Ang, who had agreed early, was already ten years old this year. He had already received basic education at home for a period of time and was always ready to become Liu Bei's disciple and receive Liu Bei's education.
Xia Houyuan's eldest son Xia Houchong is eight years old this year, and Xia Houyuan's eldest son Xia Houheng is also eight years old this year. Because of Liu Bei's promise, he was able to enter the state school and become Liu Bei's disciple.
Gai Xun's son Gai Shun has grown up and is older than Liu Bei, but his grandson Gai Yong is only seven years old, which is the age for school. So the Gai family discussed and let Gai Xun's grandson Gai Yong enter the state school. Became Liu Bei's disciple.
Yan Zhong had a young son, Yan Wei, who was ten years old and was suitable to enter the state school. Yan Wen, like Gai Xun, chose his eight-year-old grandson Yan Jiang to enter the state school and become Liu Bei's disciple.
Jia Xu, an old boy, was not young anymore and had a grandson. However, the grandson was too young and Jia Xu did not want to fall behind, so he sent his 14-year-old son Jia Ji to the state school to become Liu Bei's disciple.
It's a rare opportunity. If you don't take advantage of it, you will regret it to death.
As for Han Hao and the others, some of them had no children yet, and some had children who were too young, so they all chose the more outstanding children of the right age in their families to enter the Liangzhou Prefecture School and worship Liu Bei as their teacher. Liu made the binding.
At the same time, Liu Bei did not forget the people of the Liu family.
Liu Yong's five-year-old son Liu Yuan, Liu Sheng's five-year-old son Liu Qian, and Liu Hui's five-year-old son Liu Zhen were all taken into the school by Liu Bei and became his disciples.
For the disciples of these core subordinates, Liu Bei could be said to have received all the benefits, and he fulfilled the pie he had drawn for them before, making the pie on the drawing paper really turn into a fragrant baked pie, with some Lots of meat stuffing, it tastes delicious.
In addition, Yu Miao and Du Zhe, who were recognized through hard work in the Ministry of General Affairs, also became Liu Bei's disciples because of Liu Bei's previous promise.
All in all, in this wave, Liu Bei accepted twenty-two disciples, large and small, and this was his first batch of disciples.
In addition to his disciples, there were many disciples. There were more than twenty people in the General Affairs Department who were directly accepted as disciples by him, not to mention those who were able to enter the prefectural school to study in the future. They were all his disciples of the Liu family. .
Disciples are a scarce resource, but disciples are not. Disciples should cast a wide net and focus on catching fish. Only those who are truly outstanding can achieve a status close to that of a disciple, and it is not impossible to even be accepted as a disciple in the end.
Anyway, there are many benefits. As long as you gain the status of Liu's disciple, it will be a layer of protection.
So in a very short period of time, before the scheduled start of school on the first day of February next year, people from all counties in Liangzhou came one after another to inquire about the news, register, and take the initial reading and writing skills test in batches. General exam.
The test method is very simple. You must read a paragraph in front of the examiner and then write a paragraph. If you can read it fluently and write without typos, you will be able to enter Liangzhou Prefectural School and become a disciple of the Liu family.
Because the entry threshold is not high, basically everyone who comes to participate can pass. However, there are still a few who are not even reading and writing players.
Those are special small households, children from small townsfolk who have a little savings and run simple businesses in the city. They are illiterate and just want to try their luck. As a result, they hit a roadblock that they cannot pass.
When he was frustrated, Liu Bei suddenly announced that those who could not pass the exam could choose to enter the preparatory school affiliated with the state school for three months of free literacy, literacy, and writing education.
At the same time, there are dormitories and canteens in the school, and there is no need to spend money on food and accommodation. You can take the exam after three months of study. After passing the exam, you can still enter Liangzhou Prefecture School and become a disciple of the Liu family.
After the promulgation of this school-running policy, this group of people was like a hopeless situation, and they were so grateful to Liu Bei.
Not that no one objected to Liu Bei's policy. They felt that it was unnecessary and would only increase unnecessary expenditures.
However, Liu Bei didn't think so at all. He felt that it was necessary to do so, and he also announced his plan to connect the state school preparatory schools with the collective farms to recruit smart farm children to enter the state school for further education.
His reasons are good.
These days, because many people are illiterate, the promotion of government orders is very difficult. Over a period of time, the government always spends a lot of time preaching policies to the people. The cost of this propaganda is very high, which interferes with the promotion of policies.
If everyone is literate and can read and write, then the government only needs to put up a sign at the door and write down the decree, and the people will naturally read it and understand it. There is no need for the government to spend a lot of thought and energy to give them a Preach again and again.
Moreover, Master Confucius said, there is no discrimination without distinction.
"With my current status, it is time to educate the whole Liangzhou. If I don't educate them, I will be sorry for the inheritance I have inherited. The farmers are also registered in Liangzhou and are also paying taxes to the state government. They also have the qualifications and need to receive education. When we scholars are about to inherit the ambitions of our ancestors, how can we give up because of some difficulties?"
The reasons are sound, politically correct, and even the financial issues are taken care of.
Liangzhou Prefectural Government has the advantage of salt and iron. It can encourage childbirth, but there is no reason why it cannot afford to build a preparatory school for prefectural schools.
It can select talents and reduce administrative costs. Isn't this a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?
Liu Bei's body shone with the light of a sage.
Facing this towering light, no one could refute Liu Bei, and this plan was pushed forward.
