The soldiers behind were busy, and the government office soon took on a new look. After returning this time, Wang Xiaolie made up his mind to set up his own headquarters and no longer just set up an airs. Not only will the number of departments increase, but the number of personnel will also increase. Wang Xiaolie's army will slowly make large-scale adjustments based on the experience of later generations. There is a staff department and various functional departments.
Wang Ruohai is now the chief of staff, and most of the yamen are under his control. Of course, the chief of staff is not the decision-maker. The decision-maker is Wang Xiaolie, the governor of the town. Wang Xiaolie thought that there should be someone who would serve as political commissar here, but there was no one available for the time being, so he had to do it himself.
The new headquarters has added many personnel, and a large part of them are personnel selected from military academies to study well. These individuals will gain hands-on experience as a staff officer, allowing the command to function properly.
Seeing the new young officers busy, Wang Xiaolie felt relaxed. What to do if there is no one? Cultivate. Cultivation in practice, learning in practice, and tempering their abilities in practice.
Suddenly I saw a familiar figure. Wang Xiao asked curiously: "Isn't that Jiang Min? I remember not long after joining the military academy, why are you here?"
An officer said: "Looking back, when Jiang Min entered the military academy a few months ago, he was not a formal student because of his young age. Who would have thought that in a few months, he would memorize the teaching materials in the military academy so well that the instructor could no longer teach him. Since we need someone under observation, let him come here."
Someone nearby stopped Jiang Min and told him that Wang Xiaolie was talking about him.
Jiang Min hurried over and saluted Wang Xiaolie.
After looking Jiang Min up and down, Wang Xiaolie said: "A smart person is often said to have a photographic memory. You have been able to memorize the textbooks within a few months of entering the military academy. Could it be that you have a photographic memory?"
Jiang Min said: "Looking back, I can only occasionally remember things with a photographic memory. Most of the time, I still have to read it twice."
Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but nodded and said: "I have lived for many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a talent. Okay, okay, you can stay here. You are still young, study hard, and you will have a bright future."
Several other officials asked about Jiang Min's origins. They were all surprised and came together.
Niu Gao said: "I grew up in a poor family and could not read a few words. When I joined the army, I observed that officers must be literate and were not allowed to use officials to read and write official documents for them. Learning those one or two thousand words almost turned my hair gray. . But I didn’t expect that there is such a person in the world? You can recognize the words after reading them a few times, and you can memorize the books after reading them once or twice! How did you grow up with such a brain? "
Chen Qiudao said: "Everyone in the world is different. Some people find it difficult to learn, while others find it easy to learn."
Wang Xiaoxing said: "Wang Jinggong had an article called "Shang Zhongyong", which said that Fang Zhongyong was extremely intelligent when he was a child. He could read and write poems immediately. It was a pity that his father did not send him to school, and he died when he was older. Everyone. In fact, it is not just the reason why his father did not send him to school. If Fang Zhongyong is really a genius, he will definitely be able to achieve a great career by enrolling in the school when he grows up. Jiang Min went back and copied this article and read it often. , watch yourself.”
Jiang Min cupped her hands and said yes.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Confucius had three thousand disciples, and he emphasized teaching without distinction. Today, there are so many students in China and such a wide range of students, which can be said to be the only one in the world. But there are still some people, either because of poverty or other reasons. , had no chance to enter the school. Even though he was born smart, no one knew about it until his death. Jiang Min also happened to be sent to the military academy just by chance. I happened to be near his village. Of course, the more important reason is that we have been in the countryside for the past two years. Build a wide range of schools. Although the teaching content is simple, you can always find some talents."
Chen Qiudao and Chen Yuyi handed over their hands: "Only by observing a kindhearted person can one discover all the virtuous people!"
Wang Xiaolie waved his hands with a smile: "It's okay not to say such compliments. Xiangyang and Dengzhou are big places, and there is no war. There are countless literati here to avoid the war. But we recruited officials, but still no one came. The words "Ye Wu Yi Xian" sound a bit ironic. It doesn't matter if we are short of people. We are now in charge of eight states, and there are more than millions of people under our control. We just need to train ourselves. What I mean is that those of us who can read and read, Don't think you are smart. Many smart people in the world have no chance to go to school. If the finances are rich and schools are built widely, suitable people will naturally be selected. After the people go to school, even if they don't come out to work as officials, there will be more A whole lot of skills."
Everyone said yes together.
Wang Ruohai said: "This dynasty's prefectures and counties must have academies and academic officials, which are unprecedented things in the previous dynasty. It is a great merit to observe Guangjian School."
Wang Xiaolie said: "What kind of great merit is it? It is what the court should do to enable the people to go to school. If others can't do it, we will feel that we have achieved something if we work hard. Remember, Guangjian School is also The next important thing.”
After saying that, looking at Jiang Min, Wang Xiaolie said: "If I have time, I will also study. I have learned a lot these days, and I will give it to you for reference. This is Xiangyang, and it is said that Zhuge Wuhou worked here. Wuhou studied, Look at its general outline. Tao Yuanming's "Mr. Wu Liu" said that it is good to read without asking for a deep understanding. No matter what other meanings these two sentences have, for me, it is to read only what is useful to you or what interests you, without paying attention to intensive reading. Read carefully. I have a saying, whether you are reading or studying, you must learn to advance and move forward. Only when you study forward can you know the fun and usefulness of the knowledge you learn. Only when you move forward can you truly understand what you have learned."
Chen Qiudao said: "I have been studying since I was a child, and there are many teachers who are good at teaching. Even if I hear it for the first time, I can still walk it."
Wang Xiaolie said: "It can be understood that you should not read for the sake of reading, but you must know how this knowledge is useful to you. I once said that when I read Confucian classics, I noticed that the "Book of Songs" is one of the classics. First. Why? Some people say that his words are gorgeous, some say that his feelings are sincere, and there are many opinions. But I think it is not just that, but because the Book of Songs is divided into Feng, Ya, and Song, which just implies politics. Feng refers to It is the customs and customs of all countries in the world, and the people's views on the court and government are the first. When you come out, you will know that the ancients were like this, and the people's thoughts and ideas are so important in the court. Later, for example, in the Han Dynasty, there were Yuefu , in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were fewer poems that reflected the people. In the Tang Dynasty, poetry was the most prosperous, but it had little to do with the people. Those that had a greater relationship with the people became tunes and lyrics. In this dynasty, poetry was prosperous for a while, but it really had nothing to do with the people. The most relevant ones have become scripts. For the imperial court, the national customs of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the Yuefu of the Han Dynasty, the tunes and lyrics of the Tang Dynasty, and the scripts of the current Dynasty can all reflect the happiness of the people. So when Confucians read, Pre-Qin readers In terms of national style, reading Yuefu in the Han Dynasty, tunes and lyrics in the Tang Dynasty, and the scripts of this dynasty are the correct way."
Several literati couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. This was the first time they knew there was such a saying. The Tang Dynasty's lyrics were not taken seriously by the literati at that time, and the Song Dynasty's scripts were also not taken seriously by the literati. Unexpectedly, in Wang Xiaolie's words, it became a must-read for literati.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Jiang Min is naturally smart, and most of the knowledge can be learned. But if you want to really achieve something, you must be able to get out of it. What we teach in the military academy now is what we have learned in military operations in the past two years. In summary, there is a lot of useful knowledge in it, and there are also a lot of mistakes. You can’t think that if you learn it well, you can be a general in charge of the army. But you must know that it is just an introduction.”
Jiang Min listened on the side. Although he didn't quite understand, he somewhat understood what Wang Xiaolie meant.
