Lantian Zhengse said: "Everyone's experience and knowledge are different, so everyone has their own understanding of the classics of sages. Why not record them all for reference by subsequent students? Mr. Chengguo and Jingwen, Deshu can write three annotations in one book, so
There is no need to keep arguing like this and delay the sun and the moon."
"Fujun's method is good, but will it make those who come after you even more hesitant?" Liu Xi asked worriedly.
Lan Tian said with a smile: "The Analects textbook of Meng Xuetang has been revised and annotated for several editions. Since we are not saints but study and educate people, we must allow different voices to appear.
Follow those who are good, and change those who are not good."
Liu Xi nodded, "I can spare it."
"There is a long way to go to open an academy. If you encounter any difficulties, tell me in time and I will do my best to solve them for you." Lan Tian asked.
Liu Xi hesitated for a long time, and finally said straightforwardly: "I will make annotations for the ancient books selected by the master. Jingwen, Deshu and I will go all out to ensure that there will be teaching materials after we accept students next year, but the academy does face two problems now.
"
"Sir, please speak."
"The first is the issue of student sources. The dozen or so scribes from the academy have also met. It is okay to ask them to do some copying, but it may not be of much help to the future teaching of the academy. I heard that Jiang Gongyan was also the leader of the Quanling Academy.
Come, so I am worried that not all the children in the Mengxu schools in Cangwu counties can be sent to Guangzhou Academy;
Secondly, there is still a shortage of talents in the academy. It would be great if the government can recruit talents from all over the world. Of course, our location in Jiaozhou is quite remote, and famous people may not be willing to come..." Liu Xi shook his head and sighed.
Lan Tian suddenly smiled awkwardly after hearing this. The people Jiang Wan assigned to Guangzhou Academy were indeed careless. In the past few years, the Publishing House had accumulated a lot of talents in Quanling, but they could not withstand the three counties of Cangwu, Yulin and Nanhai.
During the partition, the Yangtze Newspaper branch also took away many people, and now it is in a state of stagnation.
To use a later Internet buzzword, there really wasn’t a drop left.
This is also the purpose of Lantian's eagerness to develop the academy. If politics, economy, and military are to be developed with quality, talents are the core components. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics textbooks currently being prepared, Lantian also plans to train astronomy, geography, mathematics, military, etc.
It's a subject, but you have to eat it one bite at a time.
"I think about the issue of student sources like this. The Thousand-Character Classics and Analects of Confucius currently taught in Meng Xuetang will be assessed by each county at the end of the course. Based on the students' daily performance, excellent, good, average, average, and poor are the preliminary tests.
Then, the excellent, good, and average students are selected for promotion. These promoted students are then assessed by the academy to finally determine whether the academy students are good or not?" Lan Tian asked.
Liu Xi stroked his beard and nodded lightly: "After two assessments, you can definitely screen out the mediocre. However, if you run the school with such good intentions, how will those who fail to advance in the first and final exams be accommodated?"
"You can go to Meng Xuetang again, but you have to pay for all the expenses yourself. If you really don't want to study, you can go back to your hometown to farm, or go to Quanling Academy to learn a craft from the craftsmen." Lan Tian replied seriously.
Liu Xi sighed: "If you still go to farm in the end, why don't you stay in the countryside? It's a thankless job for the Lord..."
Lan Tian shook his head and said with a smile: "Sir, you can't say that. Being able to learn to read and write in the Mongolian School is already a big step forward. Is it better than being illiterate?"
"That seems to be the truth. Then the second point is to seek talents for the academy..." Liu Xi stopped talking.
"Mr. Cheng Guo is studying with peace of mind. I will find ways to recruit talents for the college. Guangzhou College will definitely get better and better." Lan Tianxin said that I am familiar with attracting investment and recruiting talents.
Liu Xi nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'll have no problem."
After a brief conversation with Liu Xi, Lan Tian left the academy. As soon as he walked out of the gate, Gaoyuan asked: "It seems that Mr. Cheng Guo has recruited all the talented people with names in Jiaozhou. Could he be able to make something out of nothing?"
"If you take a longer view, how can you be limited to Jiaozhou? There were no scholars under the rule of Cao Cao and Sun Quan?" Lan Tian shook his head gently.
"This..." Gao Yuan was speechless.
The two of them walked north along the street. On the right side of the road was a small government office for the Lingnan Newspaper. Lan Tian strode straight in.
Because the Lingnan Newspaper is positioned as a state-level newspaper, the number of scouts sent to various places to find out information is less than one-third that of the Yangtze River Newspaper. In addition, due to the existence of printing technology, there are only a few apprentices who copy and typesetting the newspaper.
Lan Tian asked the relatively free painter in Lingnan Newspaper to paint the entire city of Guangzhou and Guangzhou Academy in a more freehand way.
"What is freehand brushwork?" the painter asked, scratching his head.
Lan Tian asked back: "Do you know the feeling of hazy mountains and rivers?"
After hearing this, the painter nodded in understanding, and Lan Tian went on to explain: "It is to express the truth while guiding the viewer to make boundless guesses. In short, it is to paint Guangzhou City and Guangzhou College as a sacred place on earth."
"I understand." The painter nodded in confirmation.
After staying in Lingnan News for a while, there was nowhere to go in the entire cultural district, so Lantian and Gao Yuan returned to the Prefecture.
Before Lan Tian could return to the back house to visit his wife and children, Jiang Wan chased after him in a hurry. Because Lingnan Newspaper was the government office he was responsible for, the news that he had hired a separate painter to paint the city of Guangzhou was quickly conveyed to Jiang through the chief executive of Lingnan Newspaper.
Wan.
"Gongyan, you came so quickly." Lan Tian greeted with a smile.
Jiang Wan bowed his hands and saluted, "I heard that the emperor asked the painter to do things. I was afraid that he did not understand what you meant, so I came here to ask clearly. What is the profound meaning of your painting of Guangzhou City and Guangzhou Academy?"
Lan Tian nodded and explained: "Guangzhou is a newly built city, and people in the world don't know it yet. Now through painting, wouldn't it be a good way to publicize it?"
"Do you intend to spread it like a newspaper?" Jiang Wan guessed.
"Gong Yan knows everything at once. He is really smart and savvy." Lan Tian nodded in praise.
"Excuse me, how to do it specifically?" Jiang Wan asked humbly.
Lan Tian: "If the picture is not too vivid, then it should be supplemented by concise and beautiful words to highlight the climate, life, and business atmosphere of Guangzhou City, as well as the academic environment of Guangzhou Academy."
"The prince wants to attract the people in this way? Yizhou and Jingzhou are both the lord's territory. There is no problem, but the north where Cao Cao is and the Jiangdong of Sun Quan... They control the people extremely strictly, and it is basically impossible to escape to Jiaozhou.
..." Jiang Wan shook his head after finishing speaking.
Lan Tian chuckled: "As the saying goes, everything depends on man-made things. Building a nest to attract phoenixes. Now that the phoenix nest has been built, naturally we have to put some effort into publicity. I leave the paintings and accompanying text to you. When the time comes, show me the first draft. No.
The problem is reproduced in engraving."
"Wei." Jiang Wan raised his hands and accepted the order.
While Jiang Wan was preparing the 'promotional poster', Lan Tian was still thinking about how to recruit talents for Guangzhou Academy. Donating houses, giving high salaries, and settling-in allowance were all routine operations. He planned to wait until the 'promotional poster' was almost fermented before passing it.
