Chapter 781 Lost

"How wonderful it is to have friends come from afar!" Sima Jing read while holding "The Analects of Confucius" and shaking his head.

"How wonderful it is to have friends from far away!" Dozens of students in front of him also read along with Sima Jing, shaking their heads.

Just like this, Sima Jing read it again, and the students behind him read it again.

After reading it through, Sima Jing explained the original meaning of the article to these students paragraph by paragraph.

"Ding ding ding!" After the get out of class bell rang.

"get out of class is over!"

"Stand up!" the monitor shouted.

"goodbye students!"

"goodbye teacher!"

Then these students ran out of the teacher laughing.

Seeing this scene, Sima Jing smiled and said, "It's so full of energy. You guys have caught up with the good times!"

He was really right about this. For a great Confucian like him, in Jingzhou he only accepted disciples from the top noble families or outstanding disciples from poor families. He also taught the top knowledge, and his disciples were in his After graduating from the academy, you will get the top career pass.

But now he can only teach the simplest Analects of Confucius, and his students are only eight or nine-year-old children.

In fact, he and other great Confucians in Jidu had not thought of opening a private school in Daqian, hoping to use this method to influence the lower classes of Daqian and lay the foundation for the prosperity of Confucianism.

It's a pity that Xu Wei didn't give them this opportunity. Daqian's public education made their idea disappear. At the same time, Daqian didn't recognize private education at all.

At first, the inclusion of "The Analects of Confucius" and other Confucian classics into Chinese studies made these great Confucians excited, but later they discovered that Xu Wei only regarded "The Analects of Confucius" as an enlightenment textbook, and did not attach much importance to other Confucian classics. It is used for teaching, but its share in the imperial examination is not large.

Moreover, classics from other schools are also included in Chinese studies in middle schools and higher education. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as belittling Confucianism.

This approach once made these great Confucians indignant. They believed that Confucianism was a classic in governing the country, but Xu Wei's words left them speechless.

“In this world, more than Confucianism can govern the country!”

After the opening of the sea, the horizons of the entire Daqian were widened, and the academic circles of Daqian also knew that there were other civilizations. Although these civilizations did not have Confucianism, they were equally prosperous. This discovery embarrassed many great Confucians who had been surrounded by Confucianism. They always thought that they They are indispensable. The inheritance of Daqian civilization is because of them, but they did not think that in the whole world, Confucianism is an ordinary knowledge of governing the country. Even without them, there would be another kind of knowledge that is inherited by Daqian civilization.

At the same time, Xu Wei also said: "To manage a village of 300 people, you need to learn a lot of Confucian classics. Being able to read and write and understand the laws is enough!"

The emergence of Daqian can be said to have subverted the imagination of these Confucian scholars in order to train ordinary people to govern the country. It was obvious that they were just barely literate, but under the training of the court, they could actually go from village chief to county magistrate. Governors, and these people are studying while governing. As long as the population base is relatively large, there will always be talents emerging.



They have observed over the years that the overall quality of the county magistrates and governors in the Daqian court is actually higher than that of the Han Dynasty. Even they have to admit this, otherwise the prosperous age of Daqian would not make sense.

Of course, there is another reason that they can't explain, which is that Daqian has swept away all the world's secular clans, and the local area is a blank slate. It is not difficult to govern at all, so even people with mediocre talents can follow Daqian's rules and regulations. Doing things can also produce political achievements.

But it is impossible for them to say this reason. If they admit this, it is equivalent to Daqian saying that they are the pests in the world, so even for their own face, they will not admit it. .

Xu Wei's various behaviors made them understand that as long as he was in power and Confucianism was not dead, it would be difficult to revive it in Daqian.

As a result, many great Confucians could only go south to the South China Sea in despair to find a new foundation for Confucianism.

Of course, most of the Confucian scholars could not bear the hardship and stayed in Jidu, and they could be regarded as catching up with the wave of dividends in the prosperous period of the imperial court.

A few years ago, the Education Law of Daqian was promulgated, requiring compulsory education for all 6-year-old children. In order to ensure the popularization of compulsory education, Xu Wei cut off part of the construction funds and mandated that 10% of the annual fiscal revenue be used for compulsory education.

At that time, Daqian's fiscal revenue had exceeded 60 billion yuan, which was equivalent to 6 billion yuan at one time.

This level of investment was unprecedented. At that time, hundreds of primary schools were established in Jidu. At the same time, primary schools were also spread in hundreds of counties and thousands of counties.

Although Xu Wei had already made preparations and established a normal college to train teachers, for tens of millions of school-age students, his preparations were still of little use.

In addition, private schools were rampant at that time, so after Xu Wei thought about it, he decided to recruit Han scholars as teachers, recruit them into the system to become school teachers, and at the same time prohibit the construction of private schools, using this method to limit their influence.

Private schools are a legacy from the feudal era, with strong personal attachments, but teachers are a legacy from the industrial era. Students have dozens of teachers throughout their lives, and each teacher only teaches them for a few years, so the relationship between the two parties is relatively distant.

Xu Wei used this method to quickly recruit private schools within Daqian. It was during this period that Sima Jing and the others joined Jidu Primary School as teachers, but now it is very difficult for him to recruit disciples like Zhuge Liang. .Fortunately, he is old and has looked away now.

Just when Sima Jing was about to enter his office.

A man in military uniform came to him and said, "Is this Teacher Sima Jing you are asking for?"

Sima Jing nodded and said: "I am!"

"The government has a question I would like to ask you, and I invite you to go to the government meeting tomorrow."

Sima Jing asked strangely: "If you have any questions about governing, do you want to ask me for advice?"

He did not think that he would fall into the eyes of Lord Lei. There were many great scholars in Ji, but Lord Lei had never received them.

The soldier said: "It seems that there are historical issues related to the Three Dynasties period. The ruler asked you to prepare more history books in this area!"

"Historical books?" Sima Jing also felt confused.

"I understand!"

The next day, he came to the community of the ruling government.

At this time, there were many old friends of his outside the community, such as Xu Shao, Huang Yancheng, Xun Yue and other great scholars.

They were also surprised by the arrival of others. They gathered so many great scholars at once. Could it be that the ruling party had figured it out!

After they were notified, they were put into the community. After entering the community, they were also surprised. This community was not much different from other communities where they lived.

But this is the heart of the Daqian court. Most of the senior officials of the entire central court live here. The area of ​​​​this community is only equivalent to the area of ​​a palace complex during the Han Dynasty, and is not even comparable to the original residences of Luoyang city gatekeepers. Just from the light In terms of frugality, the Daqian court was indeed hundreds of times stronger than the Han Dynasty.
