Chapter 472: School

ps: The second update is offered, please ask for your guaranteed monthly pass

"The Book of Traveling Mastiffs says that playing with people loses morals, playing with things loses ambition, and the lord is usually diligent in managing his affairs, but yesterday he went to Lonely Garden to play with children, and spreading it out might damage his dignity!"

As expected by Zhao Wuxi, after yesterday's incident spread, Ji Qiao came to give advice early this morning. △↗, x.

In the past two years, the old planner probably had a lot of chores in government affairs. The old man was a little fast, his temples began to turn gray, and he couldn't help but nag when he talked. He attached great importance to Zhao Wuxi's wide sleeves playing with a group of children.

Zhao Wuxi was a little unconvinced, he hasn't reached the point where "the king will not go to court early"!

"Did Mr. Ji think too much? After the news of yesterday's incident, there are quite a few people who praised Si Kou for being close to children and loving him as if he were oneself..." Gong Xichi, who usually has the most dissenting opinions, rarely helped Zhao Wuxi once. , The Confucian accent is close to the people, Gong Xichi and Zhao Wuxi are also similar in age, so I don't think this is a big deal.

Ji Qiao's eyes widened, and he even taught Gong Xichi a lesson.

"When the Duke of Jin was mourned, Zheng Guo was defeated and asked for peace, and he presented three musicians, a complete set of 100 chariots with all the armored soldiers, sixteen singers, and many other musical instruments such as bells and bells. The Duke of Mourning was overjoyed, because Wei Zhuangzi and Rong had meritorious deeds, so he distributed gifts to Wei Zhuangzi, saying: Zi taught the widowers in the north, the Rong and Di, and the Xia in the interior. In eight years, the princes of Jiuhe, the widowers and the princes and ministers of Zi got each other, just like playing music on a chime Harmony. Now the state of Jin has regained its dominance over the princes, and the princes have made countless contributions, so they should be happy with their sons. However, Zhuangzi of Wei first declined the gift of Duke Miao and advised him. There are some achievements, but you can't help but be prepared for danger. Thinking is prepared, and only when you are prepared can you be safe!"

have to. If it goes on like this, there will be no end. Zhao Wuxi hurriedly admits his mistake with a smile: "What the teacher taught me is that this is only one time, and the next one will not be an example."

He then coughed lightly and talked about the business of summoning the two of them today, so as to divert Ji Qiao's attention.

"I invited the second son to come here today, but I want to ask about the current situation of Mongolian school teaching..."

In just one sentence, Ji Qiao, who had just said a lot, and his tongue was rather dry, ignited again.

He said rather angrily: "Si Kou. It's been more than a month since Mengxue was established, but Zihua and others think that mathematics is the last, and ritual and music are the foundation. Whether it is right or wrong, please ask Si Kou to decide!"

Gong Xichi also saluted respectfully and said, "The math department takes up too much time. The minister thinks that we should cut down a few points and increase the time for the etiquette department. I hope Si Kou decides..."

After sitting for a few minutes, Zhao Wuxi wanted to roll his eyes. Did the war between the liberal arts dog and the scientific dog start so early? He couldn't help but think of all the things that happened in the past two months since the school was founded...

What was most important in the fifth century BC? Talent!

In the spring and autumn, with the decline of official schools, private schools flourished. With the fall of the clan and the rise of scholars, the mode of recruiting talents has gradually changed from the old retainer system to the supporter.

From Meng Xianzi. Wei Xianzi, Wu Wang Helu and others started. Nursing has become a fashionable trend that the upper classes compete to flaunt. As long as they are powerful and ambitious monarchs and officials, they are all proud to start adopting disciples. However, its scale and degree are far from those of the later generations of Lord Mengchang, Lord Xinling, Lord Pingyuan, and Lord Chunshen.

On this historical line, the first person to recruit clients on a large scale and systematically, and to develop the style of fostering scholars, was Zhao Yang, who was inspired by Zhao Wuxi's advice.

But in Xilu, Zhao Wuxi didn't plan to do this. Outsiders don't know the reason, only Zhang Mengtan knows a thing or two.

"The cultivator has its advantages. It can concentrate a large number of talents through this move, which can quickly raise the reputation, call on the princes, and strengthen the power. But there are also many disadvantages. I have contacted many people who have traveled. Ability, this is the common problem of many traveling scholars, and the wandering scholars are no better than the retainers, and the scholars are impermanent.

Indeed, Confucius in history was a typical wanderer, and there were actually quite a few princes who entertained him, but once his political ideas were not adopted, he would take his disciples away without hesitation, just like a group of wanderers.

You Shi was not good or bad, so Zhao Wuxi used his golden fingers to pick up a treasure like Zigong. What's more, he is now limited to a corner of the land, and what he lacks most is the officials who can work solidly at the grassroots level, and the talents who have been colored by his own thoughts and ideas.

But look at what kind of people he can use now?

Although the Zhao elders brought from the Jin state are loyal and reliable, they are ultimately limited in their ability and unable to integrate into the locality.

Most of the clans and scholars in each city were very strong in the feelings and xenophobia of the township party. Zhao Wuxi made a compromise and could appoint some of them, but he did not want them to occupy a high position and get in the way in decision-making.

Therefore, the biggest winner appeared. Because of the lack of officials, Zhao Wuxi's forces poured into the largest group of wanderers in Lu: Confucian disciples, not to mention the high-ranking Duanmuci, Ran Qiu, Zaiyu, Fan Xu, Gong Xihua, and others such as Qin Fei were also local officials and had a great influence on the grassroots.

"Most of these recruited scholars are already crowned, and most of their ideas and fields of expertise have been finalized, and they do not want to instill their political ideals into the lord all the time, regardless of whether they are realistic or not. It's okay to have a stable place, but once the lord is To implement change, instead of helping, it will become a hindrance.”

When Zhang Meng talked about this, he was alluding to the disciples of Confucius.

Therefore, for Zhao Wuxi, if he does not want his territory to become Confucian again in a few years, it is imperative to develop talent training as soon as possible while the war is on hold.

If you want to harvest a group of talents who are loyal to yourself, fulfill their own ideas, and will not die in a hundred years, then start with education. Zhao Wuxi, who was deeply influenced by the brainwashing education of later generations, naturally has a deep understanding.

Of course, his slogan on the surface made Confucian disciples happy.

"The ancient sages cultivated etiquette and promoted education, but now they are all broken. I want to restore politics, educate talents, establish universities to teach the country, and set up schools of order to transform the city, and call it a school!"

When it comes to setting up education, Zhao Wuxi was entrusted to Zhang Mengtan to preside over it, and naturally he had to refer to the system of the previous generation.

Summer said school. Yin is called Wei, and Zhou is called Xu. Noble education was established by the government. It began in Xia and Shang, and flourished in Zongzhou.

Zong Zhou education is "learning in the government". The school is divided into two major systems, namely Chinese learning and rural learning. Sinology was set up in the capital city where the emperor and princes were located; Xiangxue was set up in the township outside the capital.

There are two levels of Chinese education: primary school and university. The primary school is located in the palace. Princes and children of nobles, at the age of seven or eight, enter elementary school, learning counting, identifying directions, writing and family etiquette. On the fifteenth day of admission, the university is located in the outskirts of the capital. The township school established in Lu is called "School". The one established in the party is called "庠", the one established in the prefecture is called "Xu", and the one established in the township is called "School".

The teachers of the school are all held by officials, officials are teachers, and teachers are officials. The content of education is mainly based on the six arts, including the rules and regulations of the Zhou Dynasty, such as patriarchal law, hierarchy, descendants, Zhaomu, sacrificial prayers, etc.

"The retro policy is to make it easier for the people of Lu and the disciples of Confucius to accept it, but I don't intend to completely pick up people's wisdom."

When discussing with Zhang Meng to finalize the details. Based on the education of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Wuqi combined the knowledge of later generations, and even some methods of Confucius' private study - although the Confucian disciples have not yet seen it, Zhao Wuqi knew it in his heart. Once Zhao's official school is established, whether it is the source of students or the influence in the country, there will be a certain competition relationship with the private school of Confucius!

Therefore, he must carefully understand the strengths and advantages of his "enemy". Otherwise, the government-run schools will be overwhelmed by the Confucian private schools, and it will be a big joke.

gradually. A blueprint was drawn up.

"As an experimental site, we will first set up primary schools in Yuncheng, Zhenyi, Yiyi, and Linqiu. Noble and Chinese boys will enter school at the age of eight to ten..."

Children's ability to imitate and learn is fast. Following their parents, they can learn to play at home and fight on bamboo horses without a teacher. If he was sent to the school, if he could get systematic brainwashing and guidance, he would be close to Zhu Zhechi, and he might not have become a pillar of Zhao Wuxi's men when he grew up. On the other hand, educating them from a young age can also weaken the ties of the patriarchal clan.

Because of the limited conditions, the primary schools in the official school temporarily only recruit children of citizens from cities and towns, and even children of professional soldiers. If there are clan children in the villages who want to enter, they can also enter. In order to maintain the school's balance of payments, it has to charge a certain amount of repairs, that is, tuition.

Everyone could see that Zhao Wuxi attached great importance to this matter. From this moment on, the forces of all parties in Xilu's ideological circle began to surge.

The disciples of Confucius were extremely excited and relieved that Zhao Wushi finally started to promote education in the territory. They jumped up and down, wanting to copy all of Confucius's style to the government-run primary school.

But Zhao Wuxi was assertive. He never planned to help Confucianism open a branch from the very beginning, and was extremely vigilant about their subtle infiltration.

"I plan to teach the four subjects in the elementary school." Zhao Wuxi had already finalized everything, and no one was allowed to see the needle, and only announced this secret when he officially announced the government.

‘The first is etiquette. "

Hearing only one word of propriety, the Confucian disciples headed by Gong Xichi became ecstatic. They cheered and cheered. However, the clever Zai Yu also noticed the difference between Zhao Wushe's so-called "propriety" and the Confucian "propriety". nuances.

The sequence of Xiao Zong and Xiao Zong, the distinction between elders and children, and the festival of filial piety between fathers, sons and brothers in Ming Dynasty are the basic contents of Confucian rituals, and they are also the chains necessary to maintain a class society. But there is one more thing, the general superiority and inferiority and loyalty, but here, it becomes loyal to the lord of the Zhao family and loyal to Zhao Wuxi.

To sum it up simply by using a theory that has long been outdated in later generations, that is, the Zhao regime always represents the will of Haotian, always represents the development of China's advanced productive forces, and always represents the interests of the general public in Xilu...

In the ears of a group of naive, hero-worshiping **-year-old boys who start emphasizing these, and brainwash them until they reach adulthood, what effect will it have? Even Zhao Wuxi didn't dare to pack a ticket.

Optimistically, it is possible to successfully guide the students to break away from the low-level patriarchal, family, and geographical restrictions, and initially form a correct world outlook, outlook on life, and values, and work hard for the great cause of going through fire and water for Zhao Wuxi.

To put it bluntly, this so-called etiquette, except that the textbooks are different, is actually an ideological and political course that later generations have taken from childhood to adulthood... (To be continued.)
