Fan Tai felt excited when he heard this. He gave a high-five and said loudly: "High, it is really high! Such an idea is really..."
He was about to continue speaking when something suddenly occurred to him and he frowned slightly: "Commander, this genius idea also requires manpower and material resources. Even if the idle Confucian scholars all over the world are willing to come out to the local bureaucracy
If I serve here, the collection of books used for teaching may not be enough. This time for Jingkou Xiangxu, my dozen or so students and I took out most of the collection of books at home, not to mention other Confucian scholars.
Unless you are willing to dedicate your collection of books like this, even if you are willing to dedicate it, I’m afraid you won’t be able to do this in the entire Jin Dynasty and in every prefecture and county.”
Liu Yu nodded: "Textbooks are indeed a big problem, and I will find a way to solve it. In the current situation, it is impossible to implement regulations everywhere in the country. Firstly, there is no such manpower and material resources, and then there is no such thing as a high-ranking family.
It’s hard to say now what the scholars and metaphysicians will think and do. If they thought that this kind of order would eventually lead to them completely losing their power and wealth, I’m afraid they would desperately oppose it. Now, can we within the Beifu Army use all our strength?
It’s hard to say support, at least today I need to encourage everyone to send their children to study. If there is further pressure, we have to wait and see whether everyone will insist on it.”
Fan Tai nodded: "Yes, such a big thing cannot be accomplished overnight. It has to be done slowly. I can ask my disciples and disciples to copy more scriptures after teaching, especially the Mengxue and the Four Books for teaching children.
The Five Classics should be compiled first. In this regard, you may need to ask the commander to help you, so that you can mobilize staff and scribes to do this work. If there are four to five thousand people copying the books, in about two years, you can have two to
Thirty thousand sets of textbooks are enough for people to complete the basic introduction to Confucianism. As for further improvement in the future, I am afraid you will have to enter a state official school such as Guozixue and Taixue to learn some advanced classics."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This is still too slow, and within three years I will definitely launch a war and regain the lost territory in the Northern Expedition. The number of civil servants in my shogunate is not too many, but too few. I may still have more civil servants by then.
In turn, we need the disciples of Xiang Xu to join the army to help."
A look of disappointment flashed across Fan Tai's face: "If this is the case, then I'm afraid we can only take it slowly. As you said, let the children of righteous soldiers and descendants of heroes in Jingkou go to school first, and then slowly expand to
It’s better somewhere else.”
A cold light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes: "Mr. Fan, don't be pessimistic. Liu Changshi is implementing a new method. Maybe he can produce a large number of books quickly, instead of relying on people to copy books like now, which is time-consuming and laborious.
."
Fan Tai opened his eyes wide and shook his head in disbelief: "Producing a large number of books quickly? How is this possible? Since ancient times, the inheritance and copying of books have been the most troublesome things. Great Confucians of all ages often need to be educated by their disciples.
Hundreds of disciples copy classics as a test for teaching and learning. On the one hand, copying them once is also reading, and on the other hand, they can also use this method to spread the classics. You said this method is not used, is there any other way?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "The secret must not be leaked. I have not yet succeeded in trying it, but I believe that there will be good news soon. If we can produce more than 100,000 sets of scriptures every year, it will promote Confucian classics, arithmetic, carpentry, and medical books."
It will no longer be difficult if the technique spreads throughout the world."
Fan Tai laughed: "If this is the case, the world will be very lucky and all the people will be very lucky."
Liu Yu nodded: "Before that, I still need more efforts from my husband. In any case, even if there are books, I still need enough tutors to preach, teach, and solve doubts. Books can find ways to quickly
Get it out, but the teacher has to rely on the teacher to take a lot of trouble."
Fan Tai said seriously: "I believe that as long as the prefecture in Jingkou is done well, all the scholars and talents in the world will turn to Confucianism and serve the country. By then, the problem of insufficient manpower will naturally be solved.
. However, I also ask the commander-in-chief to add some official positions in the imperial court in the future to solve the problem of Mr. Xiangxu’s rank. After all, if you can’t serve as an official or a clerk, people will not be willing to be recruited.”
Liu Yu said seriously: "I will definitely solve this matter. The imperial court has personnel to customize it. The number of monasteries opened and the number of students accepted will correspond to the number of gentlemen. Just like our monastery in Jingkou, with you as the sacrificial wine
, and four doctors. In addition, my shogunate also provided six people to join the army, and the establishment of the chief minister, and Jingkou County also provided four quotas. If there were not nearly twenty official establishments, I think there would be
Sir, you will not leave the mountain either. You have to give yourself and your students an explanation."
Fan Tai smiled and said: "If there are so many official positions in various places in the world, then everyone will definitely be rushing to become a teacher. But I also know that this is specially promoted by the commander-in-chief. According to the imperial law, it is impossible to do this.
."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Now the affairs of the imperial court have been on the right track step by step. The Northern Expedition is not a rush. What I want to do now is to rectify the internal affairs. Education is related to talents and the future of the country. Only
Only by allowing the people to establish the concept of being loyal to the country and sacrificing their small families for the country can the power of the whole country be truly mobilized. The metaphysical way is to only seek one's own interests and ignore others. This is the fundamental reason why the Jin Dynasty has been unable to concentrate its efforts on the Northern Expedition for hundreds of years.
The reason is that I want to go to the Northern Expedition and cannot do this again. Therefore, I use Confucian scholars like Mr. to come out to preside over Xiang Prefecture because I want you to spread the concept of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness throughout the world."
"At this time when metaphysics is in power, to vigorously promote these requires paying a greater price. Fortunately, I have the power. I will report to the court and triple the salary of Mr. Xiang Xuzhong, even if the officialdom cannot be solved for the time being.
The issue of rank will also allow you to have a salary that is three times higher than that of officials at the same level. After all, you cannot have positions and industrial income like officials. This money comes from the military expenses of my town army general's office.
Inside and out, sir, don’t think about it!”
Fan Tai's eyes sparkled with tears: "Commander, you are really the reborn parents of us scholars. I have been waiting for decades. How have I ever received such courtesy?! Even if we wait to death, we will definitely not
I owe you the kindness of the commander-in-chief!"
Liu Yu stepped forward with a smile and held Fan Tai's hand: "Mr. Fan, when we men first entered Beifu, it was because the Beifu Army offered military pay three times higher than the imperial standard in order to attract elite soldiers.
, and now, in terms of culture and governance, you are my Beifu Army. It is up to you to teach and educate people, and to cultivate talents who put loyalty and filial piety first and are willing to serve the country!"
