What kind of knowledge is this? It actually required so many important people to compile it, and it even alarmed His Majesty the First Emperor?
Everyone present looked at me and I looked at you, with confused looks on their faces. Even the people who were named by Chen Ke just now had blank faces, as if they didn't know anything.
Someone below couldn't hold it back and asked, "May I ask, Prime Minister, what kind of knowledge is this?"
"What kind of book is it?"
"Why did you alert His Majesty the First Emperor and summon so many great sages?" There was no problem with this person's question. They still don't know the specific compiled list, because the name Chen Ke mentioned just now is followed by a word, indicating Not just those mentioned above.
But, look at it. The people just mentioned are enough to prove the importance of this matter.
Not to mention His Majesty the First Emperor. Just talking about other people. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a disciple of Prime Minister Chen Ke, now has more than ten thousand people under one person in Da Qin. He has even begun to supervise the country, participate in some government affairs, and is the future master of Da Qin.
Prime Minister Li Si can also be said to be the only one alive among hundreds of scholars and the only representative of the Legalist sages born.
It can be said that no one in the world can claim to be a better representative of Legalism than Li Si.
Judging from Li Si's current achievements, even if Han Fei is alive and Xunzi is resurrected, it cannot be said that their status and knowledge will be more profound than Li Si's.
Yan Kong, the orthodox direct descendant of Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty, the only direct descendant of Confucius, and one of the current leaders of Confucianism.
Liu Si, the current leader of the farm family. Gongsun Kun, the current leader of the famous family. Just the few people on the list already include some of the leaders of the major schools in Da Qin today, not to mention that one of the deputy editors is Chen Ke?
Does Chen Ke need to be introduced again? So everyone started paying attention to this guy and wanted to know what he symbolized.
Chen Ke looked at the confused and nervous expressions of everyone and smiled. He knew what these people were worried about.
In fact, to put it simply, they are afraid of Chen Ke starting a new one. Hundreds of schools of thought now compete for their right to speak in Da Qin. They work desperately for Da Qin just to spread their schools further.
All the companies are trying their best now, but no one can truly occupy the mainstream position.
why is that? Because except for Legalism, all other schools had not helped Great Qin before it was established. It can be said that Legalism is the foundation of Great Qin, and Qin Law is Legalism's biggest trump card.
No one can veto the Qin Law, because if you veto the Qin Law, the Qin Dynasty will inevitably be in chaos. But will the other schools, such as Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Nongjia and other schools, give up?
of course not. In fact, these schools have already started their own counterattack. Such as Confucianism. At the beginning, Confucianism followed the path of being enemies of the Qin Dynasty and Legalism. However, since the Kong family were expelled, and since the last rebellion of the Six Kingdoms led by Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang and others was strangled, Confucianism followed the path of It is the route of simply integrating into the Qin Dynasty and becoming an enemy of the Legalists.
Based on Baijia Palace, they began to faithfully complete the tasks assigned by the First Emperor. Some Confucian leaders also began to enter the grassroots politics of Da Qin, and truly saw that the leaders of Guizhou at the bottom began to serve the leaders of Guizhou, instead of standing above and evaluating how to govern the country.
Confucianism shifted from governing the country to governing the people. This was their change and their counterattack. Today, almost three-tenths of the local county governors in Daqin are Confucian people.
Outstanding among them are several representative leaders, such as Sanchuan County Sheriff Shi Xuanni, Hedong County Sheriff, and Shangdang County Sheriff Zeng Lu and Meng Qiu.
In the center of the imperial court, there were also Dr. Baijiagong, Yan Kong, Chief of Wen Palace, Xiao He, Shaofu, Cao Shen, a first-level civil servant in the Prime Minister's Department, and Chen Ping, director of the Manufacturing Department.
These are all Confucian people. The Mohist family's counterattack came from the very beginning. Their counterattack started by sending Chen Ke to Daqin to explore whether everything here could be integrated into the Mohist family.
Later, after Chen Ke established a firm foothold, he brought his senior brothers. Zuo Ge, Lin Fang and others took this advantage. They were superior and did not compete with Legalists, Confucians and others.
But no one can ignore their status, not to mention that they are perfectly integrated into the three institutions. These three institutions have almost become the private areas of the Mohist family and the public losers.
The Taoists were the last to come, but they still sent Yan Zhengchun, the most famous direct disciple of the Warring States Period and the only disciple of Lin Jing, the son of Lin Xiangru, to come.
He now serves as the palace chief of the Hundred Palaces. The likes of Lao and Zhuang are not popular in today's Great Qin, and Yan Zhengchun has not found a way or opportunity to become famous for the time being, so he walked beside Yan Kong.
Taoism and Confucianism have a long history. After all, when Confucius went to find Lao Tzu, he could be regarded as half of Lao Tzu's students, so Yan Kong and Yan Zhengchun hit it off.
Farmers are even more like thieves. They were directly embedded in a place that Great Qin was least likely to abandon.
Whether it is the cultivation, development and promotion of new grains, the cultivation and promotion of spices, or the promotion and research of cotton, it is all done by farmers.
It can be said that these schools have exploited thousands of loopholes in Legalism when Legalism was unable to free itself.
Even a behemoth like Legalism would feel frightened when facing so many opponents at the same time.
So now Legalism forms a delicate balance with many other schools. However, these people are also afraid that this balance will be disrupted.
For example, there is a very important character who created a new genre. This character is very scary and the genre is very huge.
When this genre emerged, was there a way for others to survive? Of course, it is difficult for such a pivotal figure to appear, and even if he does appear, he may not necessarily be able to create a genre with his own ideas.
But coincidentally, in today's Great Qin, there really is a person who has a pivotal position to change the Great Qin and has enough ideas to create a school... He is Chen Ke.
Chen Ke was born in the Mohist school, and his good friend Li Si was the only leader and representative of Legalism. Xiao He, Cao Shen, Chen Ping, Meng Qiu, Shi Xuanni, etc. of Confucianism can be said to be his students and rising stars in the peasant family. The future leader Bian Jiili is Chen Ke. Ke's student, the future controller of the Qin Dynasty, the current prince is his student, General Han Xin of the Qin Dynasty is his student, General Wang Jian of the Qin Dynasty is his old friend, and His Majesty the First Emperor, the current controller of the Qin Dynasty, is his confidant.
Two-thirds of the county guards in Da Qin now claim to be his disciples, and three of the officials of the Jiuqing level are his students.
The more everyone thought about it, the more frightened they became. If a person like this really wants to start another faction, they will have no choice but to admit defeat, and they will not even have the courage to resist.
From then on, there was only one school and one theory in Da Qin, and that was Chen Ke's theory. Everyone is thinking, if Chen Ke really creates a school, should they surrender and join now, or should they surrender and join after a while?
However, when everyone had already begun to think about things, Chen Ke's words pulled them all back.
I only heard Chen Ke say: "Don't be so nervous, everyone." He smiled, and there was even a smile in his tone: "The reason why Dexue gathered so many people, and even alarmed His Majesty, is not because he is A newly created doctrine.”
"It's just because this subject is important."
"The Analects of Confucius Shuer" says: "If you don't cultivate virtue, you won't learn it." "
""Guan Zi·Xin Shu I": "The virtuous man gives up the way, and things come to life. ""
""Laozi": "Tao is born from it, virtue is from animals, things are shaped from it, and potential is formed from it. Therefore, all things respect Tao and value virtue. ""
"The Book of Changes Qian Gua": "A great man, his virtue is in harmony with the heaven and earth, and his moon is in harmony with the sun and the moon." ""
"What makes a virtuous person? It is the most basic character quality and the most basic prototype of morality. Children of this age are taught to learn it so that they can develop an excellent character and become a real 'person'."
"So morality is the most important thing."
"Chinese language cultivates children's literacy and cultural literacy, arithmetic gives them the ability to make a living, and moral education prevents these children from growing crooked." He looked at the people present, and as he expected, everyone present His expressions calmed down.
Because the examples cited by Chen Ke just now include several schools of thought, including Confucianism, Taoism, and even vaguely Mingming, Zongheng and other schools of thought.
So these people became honest instantly. This proves that Da Qin has no way and will not get rid of them.
So everyone started to praise: "So that's it, that's it, what the Prime Minister said makes sense."
“Cultivate children’s abilities and character from an early age so that when they grow up, they can become as peaceful as possible.”
"You can also work hard for Great Qin." Chen Ke nodded slightly. Seeing that everyone had no objections, he continued: "Then people at the age of ten to fifteen."
"At this stage, after they have studied the previous three subjects, they have begun to gradually understand and have some concepts of their own, so they can start to add some other things to this subject." Chen Ke looked around the crowd, He threw down the bait he had carefully prepared for them.
"For example, some political concepts and ideological doctrines about your schools."
"Isn't there an article by the Confucian Mencius? This article talks about sacrificing one's life for righteousness. What is righteousness? Isn't it patriotism and serving the country? I think this article can be included in the Chinese subject books of this period." Chen Ke turned around with a smile and raised his hand again. I gave some other examples and tried my best to appease most people.
Then he said: "In addition to the Chinese language, the two subjects also continue to exist, but the name of morality has been changed, and it is necessary to incorporate some basic Qin laws."
"After that, if these subjects are merged into subjects, the scholars cannot become nerds by only studying rote books." Everyone nodded. They had got what they wanted, and of course they started to support Chen Ke.
Chen Ke continued: "As for what's next, it's the university courses." His expression was slightly serious: "I believe everyone knows that Baijia Palace will be split into three parts, the University, the Education Department, and the Research Institute .”
"When the next great meeting is held, everyone will know what peace is. As for the university, it is still the most basic function of Baijia Palace, which is to teach and educate people."
"It's just that after the university is actually established, the university will be divided into several colleges. Different colleges have different functions and teach different knowledge."
"You will know this later."
"There will be a lot of courses in the university, so there will be a lot of books compiled, so we won't think about it for the time being."
"So the focus now is on books in the first two stages."
"Do you understand?" Chen Ke's voice was serious, and the rest of the people also cooperated. As for the university books?
We’ll talk about it later, but the key point now is to hold the most important thing in your hands!
.....The winter of the fourth year of the First Emperor was coming soon. Before this winter arrived, the first thing the leaders of Qin Dynasty felt was not the cold, but the warmth.
Why is there warmth? Because of the gradual development of Qin Coin Bank and Da Qin's policy towards merchants, it was lending money.
The former allowed people to save money with confidence and even have more useful money, while the latter set off a construction trend.
Most merchants began to donate large sums of money for their own status and to be able to do business better, and most of this money was used on local infrastructure.
Some places have even started to be built in a sense. And because these schools were built by the imperial court, their control lies with the local imperial government. Even because the money comes from the government, local governors in various places charge very low tuition fees when recruiting students in order to please the upper class... ..What is even more interesting is that with the development of Qin Coin Bank and the development of merchants, the functions of Qin Coin Bank began to gradually evolve.
More like the future. It's just that this bank has always been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Under the control of the upper levels, the biggest difference between this and this is that if any problem occurs, it is all the responsibility of Qin Coin Bank. It will never happen that it is clearly Qin Coin Bank's own fault, but it will not happen. Shifting the blame to Qian Shou occurred.
Because it was said above. If it happens once, the president and civil servants involved will be fired, and all powers will be deprived within ten generations.
Including not only participating in literary competitions, applying for universities, Baijia Palace, participating in the selection of civil servants, allocating fields according to capita account, and opening accounts in Qin Coin Bank, etc.
.........In front of the land of Dongyue, the army formed an array.
