As soon as these words were spoken, his subordinates and staff all showed surprised expressions.
Is Liu Bei planning to attack someone again?
Could it be said that... he is from the ancient literature school?
It has to be said that too many previous cooperations and showing mercy have given many people the stereotype that Liu Bei and the Ancient Literature School wear the same pants, making everyone feel that Liu Bei's policies are completely ineffective for certain groups of people. It was not enacted against them.
Even the previous wave of conflicts and disputes between 40 and 60 people seemed to more people to be a moderate cooperation. There were some conflicts between the two sides, but in essence it was still a happy cooperation between Liu Bei and the Ancient Literature School.
Liu Bei still cares about the ancient literature school.
This stereotype brought Liu Bei a lot of convenience during a specific historical period, making a series of his actions relatively successful without affecting his reputation.
Of course, this situation has also brought some troubles, and the biggest trouble is the current situation.
He wants to promote a comprehensive reform of the governance system, but so many people are blocking him and unwilling to cooperate with him, and then use this as a threat to ask for benefits from him. .
To put it bluntly, some people do not think that Liu Bei's reforms are aimed at them. They always think that Liu Bei's reforms are in their interests and for their sake.
Every reform is a redistribution of their internal interests.
General Liu is here to bring warmth to us!
Indeed, in the previous series of reform actions, they were always able to benefit from Liu Bei, get more benefits, and make their family stronger, which gave them a kind of inertial thinking.
So now, they suddenly discovered that Liu Bei's next move would not do them any good, but would have a lot of disadvantages, so they couldn't sit still.
But they couldn't be more wrong.
Because from the beginning, Liu Bei never regarded them as his own. Liu Bei never considered himself a superior scholar. He had no relevant identity. The reason why he became a scholar was because he needed this status.
With this identity, he can do more things. In the process of slowly developing, he can accumulate his own team, accumulate enough political power, and then launch some actions against the superior ruling class.
It is worth mentioning that the students in Sili Academy and Taixue Academy are almost all from the middle level and above, and there are no children of farmers in the true sense.
However, there are still some children from farm families who study in Liangzhou Prefecture.
The reason is very simple. Liangzhou was the first to implement the collective farm policy and comprehensive literacy policy, as well as catering subsidies and living subsidies for Liangzhou students. Liu Bei specially used part of the money from selling salt to subsidize students in the state to study in poverty-stricken families. There are some subsidies, and it is stipulated that even children from farm families can enroll in school.
He specially set up a prefecture school preparatory school outside Liangzhou Prefecture School to recruit younger children from farm families who had received literacy education earlier to learn some basic courses. After they mastered basic knowledge, he let them They pass the state school entrance examination and enter the state school.
And more importantly, because many of Liangzhou's upper-class social forces were wiped out by Liu Bei, and the number of scholars was the rarest in the Han Dynasty, basically after the second batch of students enrolled, the entire Liangzhou still existed All children of scholars and powerful families were admitted to school.
Almost all children from powerful families of scholars have enrolled in school. Their number is too small and there is no time to produce so many children. However, the number of students enrolled in Liangzhou Prefecture School every year is still the same.
So where did they come from?
Obviously, there is another source.
Starting from the enrollment of the third batch of students in the first year of Jian'an, the origins of the students in Liangzhou Prefecture School were overwhelmingly farmers. From the enrollment of the fourth batch of students in the second year of Jian'an, the origins of the students enrolled in Liangzhou Prefecture School were the same. They are all children of farmers.
There was no way, all the sons of powerful scholars were gone, they were all wiped out, leaving Liangzhou Prefecture School with only one source of students.
In other words, those who graduated in the fourth year of Jian'an were assigned to various places by Liu Bei.
More than 90% of the Liangzhou Prefectural School graduates who serve as representatives of collective farms and grass-roots county officials are children of farmers, and their origins are completely different from those of the previous batches of students.
When the next batch of students who graduate from Jian'an in the fifth year come out, they will no longer be the children of powerful scholars, but will all be the children of farmers who came from collective farms.
Regarding this matter, there is no disturbance within Liangzhou, because the practical problem is that if there are no children from farmers enrolled, Liangzhou Prefecture School with complete teaching facilities will have no source of students.
And as Liu Bei, the leader of the academy, who he wants to recruit as a student is his own business. It is not anyone else's turn to dictate. He has the qualifications and rights, so there is no outside interference.
Liu Bei's control over Liangzhou was straightforward and complete. Others habitually did not express any opinions on Liangzhou, even though Liu Bei had publicly resigned from the position of Liangzhou Mu.
The education provided by Liangzhou Prefectural School to children from farm families can be regarded as an epoch-making event, because before this, it was almost impossible for children from farm families to receive education. Only Liangzhou Prefectural School actually did this and provided meal subsidies and living subsidies. .
It's like paying someone to come to school.
Some people questioned it, but Liu Bei put it back with the educational concepts of Confucius such as teaching without distinction, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, etc., and then insisted on recruiting students and running schools.
Do you understand what the Lord of Validity is?
Whatever I say is what I say, and in my school, I make the decision!
In addition, in areas with relatively complete collective farm construction, such as some areas in Sanfu, he also followed the Liangzhou model.
After the development period of the first few years passed, local food production under the collective farm model began to enter an explosive period.
Under a more reasonable distribution model and a relatively relaxed tax environment, every household began to save food, and began to have the need and possibility to educate their children.
At this time, the collective farm will hold a general meeting, and everyone will discuss together to liberate at least one young child in the family from the land and send them to a state school to study.
After studying and practicing calligraphy, you will be a cultured person, a scholar, and you will have a good future in the future. If you become an official, wouldn't it be honoring your ancestors?
At this time, Liu Bei continued to provide subsidies with the money earned from selling salt, and then asked some farms in the Sanfu area to send their children to study in preparatory schools in Liangzhou, expand the scope of enrollment, and continue to train their own team.
These students, who have no other political support except Liu Bei, will become Liu Bei's most solid supporters after entering the officialdom. Their existence and large number will give Liu Bei the full strength to compete with the world's elite. .
At present, hundreds of farmers' children have begun to enter the political field and have begun to lay a solid political foundation for Liu Bei at the most basic level. As time goes by, the numerical advantage of farmers' children will gradually be revealed.
When the Modern Literature School was still there, when reactionary forces such as Yuan Wei and He Jin were still there, and when the huge slave-owning group was still there, Liu Bei still had great demand for the Ancient Literature School and the eunuch group. His own foundation and The power is not enough to defeat everything.
But now, the Jinwen School has been liquidated, and a group of reactionaries headed by Yuan Wei and He Jin have also been liquidated. Even the huge slave-owning group was severely chopped by Liu Bei because of the division between the top and bottom.
As a result, the importance of his once important allies has plummeted.
And as the reform enters the deep water zone, the role and significance of the ancient literature school and the eunuch group to Liu Bei will also change from mostly positive to mostly negative. This is due to the development of the times and cannot be changed by human power.
