Chapter 0344 The monarch and his ministers discuss the law
Zhao Yun and three beauties accompanied his mother after breakfast and were about to leave with the three beauties. However, her mother, Zhao Quan, rarely had her daughter-in-law to accompany her to talk, so she was in high spirits.
The three beauties also felt that Zhao Quan was kind and easy to get along with, so they also wanted to get close to Zhao Quan and build a good relationship. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking and laughing together, as if they had endless things to say.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun did not want to be disturbed and returned to Funing Hall alone to handle government affairs.
After reading several copies of the memorial, they all contained common things. Zhao Yun was in a very good mood and reviewed them very quickly.
"Your Majesty, the three envoys Chen Guiyi, Li Zongmian and Chen Long are asking for an audience outside the palace."
At this time, a small yellow doorman came in to report. Zhao Yun was stunned and quickly guessed the purpose of their trip.
Zhao Yun was slightly surprised. Could it be that they had come up with the idea of a compulsory teaching method so quickly? This was quite efficient.
"Xuan."
Zhao Yun straightened his body and adjusted his robes slightly to show respect for his close ministers.
The three of them entered the study, raised their hands in salute to Zhao Yun, and said, "I have met your Majesty."
"The three ministers will sit down without courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The three of them sat down and Zhao Yun asked: "The three Qing family members are meeting me so early, but for the compulsory teaching of law?"
Chen Guiyi stood up and said first: "Back to Your Majesty, I have an audience with you. It is for this method that I have drafted a preliminary idea, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look."
Chen Guiyi held a document high, Gao Shi stepped forward, took it and handed it to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun opened it and read it carefully.
Zhao Yun looked at it and said: "You suggest setting up a separate department management school. This is a very good suggestion. Which of the six departments of the imperial court does this department belong to? Or is it a separate one?"
Chen Longzhi came up with the idea of setting up a separate ministry and managed it separately. His ideas were the clearest, so Chen Longzhi stood up and explained his views to Zhao Yun.
Chen Longzhi said: "Your Majesty, our country in the Song Dynasty only has two levels: state schools and county schools. The affairs are managed by the academic affairs departments of the states and counties respectively. It is functioning well now, but the system is too small and the status of the personnel is not good.
High, obviously it cannot be applied to the compulsory teaching law."
"The purpose of the compulsory teaching method implemented by His Majesty is to enable all children of school age to study. This means that our Song Dynasty will not only have state schools and county schools, but also township schools and even village schools.
In this way, the academic promotion department that manages teaching will need to be expanded ten times or even a hundred times more than it is now. If such a large yamen does not set up a separate department and increase its weight, then the implementation of the compulsory teaching law will be hindered by many constraints."
Zhao Yun nodded, "What you said makes sense, please continue."
Chen Longzhi received Zhao Yun's affirmation and became more confident, and continued: "I believe that a new department should be established in addition to the six departments of the imperial court, called the Academic Department, to manage the world's colleges full-time, and in the future, the imperial examinations can also be hosted by the Academic Department alone. In this way, both
It can effectively manage the college, implement the compulsory teaching method, and limit the excessive power of the six departments to avoid being left behind in the future."
Zhao Yun deeply believes that education is the future of a country. Without education, there is no future. It is a general trend to establish a department dedicated to managing teaching and make its status equal to that of the six ministries. Zhao Yun naturally knows this.
Zhao Yun said: "What the Qing family said is absolutely true, and I deeply believe it. The establishment of the academic department is imperative."
Chen Longzhi was so excited that he seemed to see children all over the world chasing their dreams and studying diligently.
Chen Guiyi said to Zhao Yun again: "Your Majesty, Li Shijun proposed that if the compulsory teaching law is implemented in the future, the selection of officials across the country can be reformed."
"oh?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yun was very interested. He looked at Li Zongmian and asked, "What ideas does the Qing family have? Please tell me about them."
Li Zongmian stood up, raised his hand to Zhao Yun, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that at present, when selecting officials in the Song Dynasty, there is an imperial examination every three years, and the number of Jinshi admitted to the officials is only two to three hundred. Such a number is not allowed in the whole country.
, it turned out to be too few, and as a last resort, we had to hire a large number of officials to share the workload."
"However, many officials in county offices and state capitals are filled by local indigenous people. Firstly, it is easy for officials to form cliques for personal gain and oppress the people based on their family power. Secondly, it is difficult to measure the character, talent and learning of officials, and the good and bad vary. If the obligations are fulfilled
The teaching method can solve this problem very well.”
"In the future, the imperial court can hold civil service examinations in addition to the imperial examinations. Those who pass the examination can serve in the county government and help manage local affairs."
"In this way, firstly, we can provide a large number of talents that the court urgently needs and replace bad officials. Secondly, it can improve the people's chances of getting ahead and make them more willing to send their children to school. Thirdly, when there are more officials,
The imperial court could set up yamen at the township level, and even set up management agencies at the village level, extending the imperial court's influence directly to every village and household, changing the situation where imperial power did not extend to counties, and consolidating the imperial court's dominance."
"good."
Zhao Yun was overjoyed and shouted hello. Zhao Yun said: "In the previous period, when the farmland-to-household law was implemented, powerful people in various places caused chaos. It was because the imperial power had not been in the county for thousands of years, so that the people were deceived. Great good governance was actually ignored.
Misinterpreted and turned into bad governance.
If the imperial court has institutional jurisdiction in every township and village, it can be uploaded and distributed, so that the people can understand the imperial policy in a timely manner and avoid the occurrence of such incidents as the powerful and powerful. This proposal of the Qing family is very good and must be implemented nationwide in the future."
Li Zongmian was greatly encouraged by Zhao Yun's affirmation. It can be predicted that once the selection system for officials is established, it will definitely rewrite the imperial system. Needless to say, it will have far-reaching influence. And these are all based on his own imagination. How wonderful is this?
A big honor.
Zhao Yun was very happy and admired the opinions of Chen Longzhi and Li Zongmian. What made Zhao Yun even more happy was what came next.
I saw Chen Guiyi saying to Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, I have a foolish opinion, but I don't know what your Majesty thinks?"
Zhao Yun said: "No matter what the Qing family says, as long as it is feasible, I will accept it."
Chen Guiyi said: "I think that the books that students read today are all famous quotes by saints, and the saints' principles are worth a thousand words. However, there is a lack of real examples to support it, making it difficult for students to aspire to it."
"I believe that we can select the stories of heroes who served the country and the people in ancient and modern times, compile a separate book, and include them in teaching, so that students all over the world can have more respect for these heroes, and at the same time, it can also inspire them to fight for the country and pray for the people.
.”
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, this is a great idea of the Qing family. Let students be influenced by heroic deeds from an early age, and they will definitely take heroes as role models when they grow up. In this way, they can avoid the boring books about saints, and also
We can commemorate those great heroes who served the country and the people, so that their deeds can be passed down through the ages and inspire future generations, good, good, good."
