Liu Hong came to the papermaking workshop.
The scale of the paper mill has expanded several times compared to before.
A large number of gentry family members served as free labor, and together with the previous refugees, the amount of paper produced every day was staggering!
In order to facilitate teaching, Liu Hong had previously ordered people to make movable type printing, which came in handy this time.
There is no need to write manually, you only need to arrange the order of each word and print the paper on it.
Greatly saves time on writing books.
If it were manual copying, if you wanted to copy out the books that a state needed, even if all the scholars in Yanzhou came out to copy the books for him, it would still take years and months.
Teaching, first and foremost, is ideological education!
Only by instilling ideas can he cultivate people who are loyal to him. He does not want to cultivate a group of white-eyed wolves and take advantage of others.
Liu Hong came to the library, where Cai Yong was concentrating on writing and revising books.
Cai Yong knew the convenience and speed of movable type printing, but Confucianism did not mean being familiar with it and knowing its meaning just by reading it.
It is through writing word for word that we can truly understand the meaning of the text.
"Cai Yong, I have met you, sir."
After seeing Liu Hong, Cai Yong stopped the pen in his hand and saluted.
"Uncle, I have something I need you to do."
Liu Hong said slowly.
Cai Yong was confused and looked at Liu Hong.
"My lord, just ask."
Hearing this, Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction.
"Now I am planning to open a college, but I don't want to teach some ungrateful people, so I want Bojie to revise the book for me and write down everything I have done for Yanzhou."
As for why Cai Yong was used, it was naturally because the other party had a great reputation.
"This is the right move!"
Cai Yong didn't feel anything was wrong.
Since Liu Hong took office, Yanzhou has introduced many policies that benefit the country and the people.
The reason why the people of Yanzhou can live and work in peace and contentment is due to the painstaking management of Liu Hong, the state shepherd.
It can be said that without him, there would be no Yanzhou today!
It is natural to write down some of Liu Hong’s actions!
"Don't worry, sir. I'll put aside what I'm doing and revise the book for you!"
Liu Hong left satisfied.
After returning to the government, he issued an order to let craftsmen from all over the country build academies between counties and counties.
It took several days to refresh the entries for the state capital academy that had been built long ago.
【Intellectual enlightenment】, 【Inspirational enlightenment】, 【Loyalty to the Lord】, 【Sensitive and eager to learn】
Convicted persons from major noble clans entered the academy one by one to teach the students.
The college he built was naturally not just about studying literature.
In addition to Confucianism, there are also hundreds of schools of thought, industry, commerce, martial arts, and even medical schools that have been incorporated into the college.
What he wants to cultivate is not a group of bachelors who only know how to talk and talk, but a group of core low-level people with practical ability.
After everything was prepared, Liu Hong ordered people to spread the word.
As long as they are of appropriate age, they can enroll and study for free.
The college will be rated every year, and students who are rated as top students will be given generous rewards by each county.
This encourages ordinary people to send their children to the academy.
If he develops according to this plan, the academy will be able to cultivate a large group of low-level talents for him in as many as ten years.
Moreover, Liu Hong planned to build three major colleges: elementary school, middle school, university and so on.
Each county has an elementary school, each county has a middle school, and the state capital has a university.
Only those who meet the standards can advance to higher schools one by one!
After graduating from the college, each student will be graded according to his ability into four levels: A, B, C and D.
Each level is further divided into special upper, middle and lower levels, with special first being the highest level. Positions are assigned based on scores, similar to the imperial examination system, except that selection is based on ability.
Different subjects have different assessments for rating. Warriors test their strength, and craftsmen test their craftsmanship.
However, these are still too far away. What needs to be done now is to build Montessori colleges in various places first.
The construction of the academy affects the interests of the gentry. The gentry has been rooted for thousands of years and has long been deeply rooted.
If ordinary people become wise, the first thing that will be affected is the status of the nobles and they will compete with them for power.
In the past, the construction of the academy would have been strongly resisted by the nobles, and would even have caused trouble to the imperial court.
However, now in Yanzhou, all the noble clans have been uprooted by him, and the remaining ones are his loyal hawks and dogs.
When Liu Hongling came out, there was naturally no one who was short-sighted to stop him.
However, not everyone can see Liu Hong's determination.
Yanzhou is so big that there are always one or two self-righteous guys.
Yanzhou, the land of the Chen clan.
"This move by Zhou Mu ignores human relations and destroys the foundation of our noble clan. If the common people can read and everyone is literate, how will we, the noble clan, live and work?"
The elder of the Chen clan is named Chen Rong.
After hearing that Liu Hong wanted to build a college and broaden people's wisdom, he was the first to express his opposition.
"Yes, if this is the case, how should we, the nobles, deal with themselves?"
"We should protest together and let Duke Mingde take back his life!"
"But... Mr. Zhou Mu just killed a lot of people. If we are offended by this, will we..."
The Chen clan members talked to each other, and finally fell silent.
"Gongtai..."
Chen Rong looked at Chen Gong aside with a serious expression.
But Chen Gong waved his hand.
"If you want to die, don't get involved with me. Master Zhou Mu's intention is very clear. Under his governance, one family will not be allowed to dominate. The previous actions of the Yanzhou nobles have made him very disgusted."
"If you are looking for death, go ahead. After tonight, you are you and I am me. I will preserve the last bloodline of the Chen family."
Hearing what Chen Gong said, the old Chen family was shocked, and then angrily scolded Chen Gong and drove Chen Gong out of the Chen family.
The next day.
Liu Hong is handling official business.
Cheng Yu came to report.
"My lord, Chen Rong, the Chen family, would like to see you."
Liu Hong raised his eyebrows slightly. The nobles asked to see him. It seemed that they were here to set up a college.
Apart from this, there is nothing else that would make these guys so interested.
"Bring it in."
Cheng Yu took the order, turned around and went out to bring the people in.
Chen Rong just walked in and immediately knelt on the ground with a sad voice.
"Master Zhou Mu, Chen Rong risked his life to advise you, please take back your fame and set up a college to educate the people. This is not good. If the people become wise, they will turn against you. You should follow the example of the sages and govern the world with the gentry. , the strategy of fooling the people is the strategy to govern the world, rejuvenate the country and ensure peace."
Looking at Chen Rong, who looked loyal and loyal, Liu Hong showed a cold look on his face and sneered.
"unfavorable?"
"It's not good for you and other noble families. The noble families are powerful and collude with each other. It's hard for a poor family to produce a noble son."
Liu Hong stood up and walked down slowly.
"The common people are wise and rebellious. Is it possible that you and other nobles are not?"
"Since ancient times, those who commit chaos are mostly nobles. Three generations are noble and five generations of aristocratic families. Once a family has been a minister for generations, it is necessary to control one party and bring trouble to the village!"
Liu Hong spoke out words that were heart-wrenching, and he stepped forward and kicked Chen Rong to his feet.
Throughout the dynasties, the gentry appeared and could not be stopped. They killed one Zhang family and another Wei family. The killing would never stop.
Since the existence of the gentry cannot be eradicated, we can only suppress and contain them.
If the common people are wise, they can contain the nobles and prevent the nobles from becoming dominant.
However, this move is only a temporary measure. Without the noble clan, there are still factions.
It's just that it still exists in a different way.
Chen Rong was confused. Although he couldn't defeat Liu Hong, he still knelt stubbornly and blood spattered in the house.
"If you don't take back this move, I will crash to death in the house!!"
Liu Hong looked at Chen Rong and smiled lightly.
Looking at the posture, is it a forced palace?
"If that's the case, then don't bother yourself!"
