In fact, Lin Jing had already planned to leave the mountain as early as half a year ago.
After Lin Xiangru passed away, his sons, Lin Li, Lin Jing and others went into seclusion.
Although Lin Xiangru himself had been staying in the State of Zhao, he did not restrict his son from serving the State of Zhao. After all, a smart man of his level could easily see the general trend of the world.
King Zhao is not a good king and is not worthy of loyalty.
He stayed in the State of Zhao to repay the kindness of King Zhao Huiwen, but he would not let his son stay in the State of Zhao.
What's more, half of Lin Xiangru's death was because his body could no longer bear it, and part of it was because of King Zhao's suspicion and death.
Lin Jing and others did not directly defect to Qin after Lin Xiangru's death and contribute to the destruction of Zhao. This was already the result of them restraining their inner anger.
Not to mention helping Zhao Guo.
Days passed, and after King Zhaoxiang died, King Xiaowen succeeded to the throne, then King Zhuangxiang succeeded to the throne, and then the Qin Dynasty swept the world, swallowing up Liuhe and becoming the only dynasty.
At that time, Lin Jing actually planned to leave the mountain, but he saw Qin Lu's cruelty and harshness, so he put the plan on hold.
After all, the Qin Law and the legalist ideas are, to some extent, opposite to the Taoist ideas.
What happened later was after Chen Ke arrived in Da Qin.
With the construction of Baijia Palace, the theories of various schools of thought were once again revived, this time even more brilliantly than the intellectual outbursts of the previous Zhou Dynasty.
Lin Jing actually couldn't help it.
He himself is not a character who can restrain himself. After all, Zhuangzi emphasizes the pursuit of spiritual freedom and a correct understanding of himself.
What I value is to let nature take its course.
What does it mean to pursue spiritual freedom? Just do whatever you want to do,
What does it mean to let nature take its course? Just don't always restrain yourself from things that come out of your heart.
Therefore, Lin Jing tentatively asked his disciple Yan Zhengchun to participate in the literary competition. This can be regarded as a throwback to the Taoist Lao-Zhuang theory.
Later, it was recently.
The announcement of the establishment of the three universities immediately let Lin Jing know that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.
He chose "Zhongzhou University" among the three universities without hesitation.
One is because of the development prospects of Zhongzhou University. Roads are being built here, and the roads extend in all directions. The prospects of this kind of place are very broad at first glance. After all, Daqin has spent a lot of effort in this place.
The second reason is because this is Chen Ke’s hometown.
Again, Chen Ke will definitely not ignore his hometown. After all, even if he really wants to find Baijiagong in three places to split the university, why won't it be Zhongmu's turn?
After all, it's just a small county.
But that's what happened. Baijiagong in Sanchuan County and several surrounding counties were merged and split. The only university in the Central Plains area was established in Zhongmou and became "Zhongzhou University".
The third one...
It's because there aren't that many great sages here for the time being.
Xianyang City is full of talents. Even though Lin Jing is very confident in his knowledge, he is a little cautious when looking at the crowded people here.
It is better to go to Zhongzhou University and fight on the same starting line with other people who have taken a fancy to this place.
As people mature with age, there is nothing wrong with applying it to Lin Jing.
Now Lin Jing is standing there, punching Yan Kong and kicking Gongsun Kun, with a child in each hand. No one can compete with Lin Jing.
Yan Kong looked at this scene and felt a little nervous.
Their "discussion on Tao" today is not just about "Tao", but also the dominance of "book repair" in the future!
They definitely have no chance of taking the lead in moral studies. It must be the First Emperor who takes the lead and Fusu, Li Si, and Chen Ke to discuss this important matter. They can't get involved in arithmetic. This is the "technical school" such as Li Si, Chen Ke, the Mohist family, and the Gongsun family. Their private land.
Then there is only one academic subject left, "Qinwen" or "Chinese".
Even if you can't include some thought-provoking articles in it, as the editor-in-chief, isn't it a small thing to secretly publish a few more articles about your own school's doctrine?
not to mention.....
This is also the first battle of ideas and status after the establishment of the three universities!
Xianyang University itself already has an advantage. If it fails in this battle for status, wouldn't it be a disgrace to grandma's house?
In fact, no matter what, under the current circumstances, the rise of Zhongzhou University has become a fact that no one can deny.
After all, who allowed one of the highest-status people to be at Zhongzhou University?
Yan Kong coughed lightly and looked at Li Si, Xiao He, Chen Ping, Cao Shen and others who had been sitting below.
Of course, the main thing is to look at Li Si.
After all, the status and qualifications of Chen Ping, Cao Shen and Xiao He are indeed inferior to Lin Jing.
Listening to Yan Kong's cough, Chen Ke and Li Si, who were sitting below, looked at each other and smiled.
Chen Ke came close to Li Si and whispered: "Mr. Li, look at Yan Kong's expression. He is waiting for you to save him."
Li Si curled his lips and just chuckled: "You can't count on Confucian people."
He sighed and said, "But that guy Lin Jing went too far. He is a disciple of Zhuangzi, and he still bullies children even when he is very old."
Chen Ke smiled and said: "Then don't we need Mr. Li, who is a disciple of Xunzi, to take action?"
Li Si glanced at Chen Ke strangely: "This old guy now represents your Zhongzhou University. Don't you want to help Xianyang University instead of helping the university in your hometown?"
Chen Ke burst out laughing: "Mr. Li, the three universities are now in a three-legged situation, which cannot be easily broken."
"Although I don't want to let the university in my hometown fail, I can't watch the other two universities fail miserably, right?"
While stroking his palms, he said: "Now that Zhongzhou University has taken the initiative, one of you and I represents Xianyang University, and the other represents Penglai University. How about ending this dispute?"
Li Si raised his eyebrows slightly, which made him feel as if he was back when he was young.
"good."
He stood up, looked at Lin Jing, and smiled slightly: "What Mr. Lin said makes sense."
"It's just that the three universities are equal. Is what Mr. Lin said a little aggressive?"
"Li is not talented, but he has a doctorate from Xianyang University. He is willing to discuss it with Mr. Lin."
Lin Jing's arrogant expression just now calmed down a little. After all, Li Si was a person who could be called a "son", and his qualifications and status were no worse than his own.
He immediately smiled and looked carefree: "Of course."
At this time, Chen Ke stood up, and he attracted attention when he stood up.
People from Zhongzhou University and Xianyang University watched silently. After all, Chen Ke could be said to have single-handedly created Xianyang University. People at Xianyang University were all his students, but Zhongzhou University was his hometown.
Who will Chen Ke help?
Chen Ke gave an answer.
He didn't help anyone but helped Peng Lai go to college.
Chen Ke walked to Penglai University and said with a smile: "Penglai Baijia Palace was founded by me, but now Penglai University has become ordinary. As the founder, I would like to ask these two gentlemen for their advice. "
Suddenly the scene fell silent, and no one spoke.
At this time, no one can speak...
Although Chen Ke has no qualifications, this guy has status.
And whether it's papermaking, printing or other messy things, as well as strangling the rebels of the Six Kingdoms and implementing reforms, it is all his credit.
In terms of merit, apart from Li Si and Wang Jian, probably no one is higher than Chen Ke.
Everyone also vaguely sensed Chen Ke's intentions, especially Lin Jing, an old man who had become a spirit.
He understood the meaning in an instant.
Dang Ji raised his hands and said, "Mr. Chen and Mr. Li were joking."
"I'm just taking advantage of my age."
He smiled and squinted his eyes and said: "According to me, no matter what stage of the subject, we are not the editor-in-chief of it, so why should one of us be the leader?"
"This is a major event to educate the world, and the merits contained in it are beyond our ability to bear."
"So I still suggest that since moral education is of great importance, His Majesty the First Emperor should be the editor-in-chief, His Highness Fusu, Prime Minister Chen, Prime Minister Li, and myself and other leaders of hundreds of schools should be the deputy editors, and the remaining doctors should be the editors."
"Qin Wenze has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the editor-in-chief, me and the two prime ministers as deputy editors, with me as the leader, and the other doctors as editors."
"His Royal Highness the Prince is still the editor-in-chief of Mathematics. Three of us are the deputy editors. Prime Minister Li is the leader, Dr. Zuo, Dr. Gongshu are the assistants, and the remaining doctors are editors."
"The physical education that combines the six arts of the gentleman such as "shooting" and "improving" is still the same, but it is led by Prime Minister Chen, Dr. Yan is the assistant, and the other doctors are editors. "
"how?"
Chen Ke listened to Lin Jing's suggestion and nodded directly.
This is the fairest way.
At least that's how it seems on the surface.
The three parties occupy the three disciplines of Qin literature, arithmetic, and physical studies respectively, checking and balancing each other, and forming a three-legged stance.
Such a structure is the most complete and most appropriate.
A hundred schools of thought, vaguely headed by Taoists, occupied Zhongzhou University and dominated the editing of Qin Wen; those led by Li Si, Zuo Ge, Gong Shujia, etc. occupied Xianyang University and led the editing of mathematics; and they had secretly decided to join Penglai University and stay away from Xiao He and others. The "pseudo-Confucian" Yan Kong was the leading scholar.
Chen Ke nodded immediately, and after Chen Ke nodded, the rest of the people had no reason to object, that is, they agreed to the matter.
At this point, the book repair team was officially formed.
...........
Zhongmu
At this time, Zhongmou is recruiting workers across the board, not the kind of corvee workers, but workers who are paid, officially employed, and don't have to worry about defaulting on their debts.
Daily wages are paid in cash.
It looked like a big undertaking, and the sponsor of the road construction was the imperial court.
In other words, it was the central court and the local Zhongmu County court. The central court allocated funds to build roads because they wanted Zhongmu to become a transportation center.
】
And Zhongmu was obviously doing it for this reason.
This is something that is beneficial to both parties, so everyone from the local to the central government is very cooperative, and few people dare to cause problems.
Why?
Because the place where the road was built, that is, Zhongmou, was Chen Ke's hometown.
Who dares to make trouble on Chen Ke's head?
Do you want to lose your life?
What's more, most of today's officials, or officials who have a certain say and can speak on this money, are almost all Chen Ke's disciples.
You might be able to get away with using other funds, but using this money...
hehe.
If you make any move today, you will be reported to the judge tomorrow, and then you just wait to be implicated.
The implication here is genuine implication, the kind that makes people miserable.
Make sure no one is willing to offend.
When they join the job, or receive errands from the court, there will be a few very kind eunuchs who will introduce them to the consequences of corruption.
If people who heard that introduction still have the guts to commit corruption within three to five years, they will really be able to do things that ordinary people cannot do.
Of course, the other investors are the "kind" wealthy businessmen.
Among them, the two "righteous businessmen" Shentu Xingwu and Zhai Xi were led by them. These two people were just like two fools, desperately and recklessly throwing money into Zhongmu...
At their peak, the money these two people spread was almost as much as the average monthly tax...
This is a good thing for the county magistrate of Zhongmu.
It seems to be a good thing for the leaders and people of Zhongmou County.
Shentu Xingwu and Zhai Xi, who donated money, also felt that they had taken advantage all day long.
In a mansion somewhere.
Zhai Xi smiled happily: "Brother Shentu, do you really think that this money was donated to Zhongmou by us?"
He had a cunning, fox-like smile on his face.
"Actually, this is exactly what Zhongmu donated to us."
Zhai Xi looked at Shentu and said: "You and I have a lot of goods in our hands, and we need to go in all directions through Zhongmu."
"What is needed most at this time?"
Shentu suddenly realized: "What we need is a road."
Zhai Xi nodded: "Yes, what is needed is a road. Without a wide road, how can we transport goods?"
"But to build roads, especially roads from Zhongmu to other places, do you think we can afford such a large amount of money?"
Shentu woke up and thought about that astronomical figure, then shook his head.
Building roads is a very expensive thing.
Zhai Xi watched Shentu come to his senses and continued: "In addition, do you feel that the Zhongmu court itself wants to build this road, and even if we don't donate money, it won't affect their construction?"
Shentu nodded in realization. This was when he was most confused.
Zhai Xi laughed wildly: "This is the biggest difference between you and me."
He watched Shentu come to his senses and said the key point in one sentence: "Can the official way be used by merchants like you and me?"
As soon as he said this, Shentu woke up and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He exhaled: "Brother Zhai is indeed smart."
Yes, official roads and Chi Roads are generally not allowed to be used by merchants, or even common people and heads of Guizhou.
The biggest use is official use.
But now, they just spent a sum of money in exchange for being able to use this road.
Isn't this the same as spending a small amount of money to accomplish something big and something that must be solved?
