Zhou Ping watched Tai Chong come in and quickly saluted the ten-year-old boy.
They are all newly recruited imperial students. It is said that no matter which government recruits people, they are all looking for people who can last for a long time, so being young has an advantage.
Many of the new students admitted to Taixue are teenagers, with very low status, and the tallest one is no more than a child.
Zhou Ping's status was particularly poor. He was born as a refugee. His family fled to Fucheng, leaving him alone, and he became a beggar.
Then he was picked up by the Imperial Academy, who not only gave him food, but also gave him a name.
Well, originally, the young men in the hometown didn't even have names, so they were arranged according to their seniority, "Brother, Zhongshu Ji", or Zhou Da,
Tuesday, Wednesday...
Zhou Ping's character "Ping" was given by Taichong Taoist Priest, so he was very grateful to this young gentleman.
Taichong hugged the book, his face full of fatigue: "You have been in school for a few months and have learned a thousand words... Today, I will learn arithmetic and geography, and then combine it with practice to learn how to measure the area of acres."
These Taoist students who were originally Taoists have been very busy in recent months. They not only go to Liufang to 'observe the government', but also serve as teachers of Taixue.
Even, I have to study other content by myself at night, just to recharge my batteries.
"yes!"
Zhou Ping took the lead and agreed loudly.
To be honest, many of these teenagers are illiterate and it is not easy to teach them, even with pinyin.
But the good thing about young people at the bottom is that they can endure hardship and are willing to do anything just to have enough to eat.
Learn ten words one day, do spot checks the next day, punish them corporally if you can't remember them, and kick them out if you fail the test three times.
In order to have enough to eat and have the opportunity to serve as officials in the future, these people cherished it.
Zhou Ping is considered to be the one with the best academic performance, and has already obtained other tasks. In the evening, he has to teach the newly recruited students of the Pita University, and he has become a "little teacher".
+...At this time, two figures walked past the window.
Taichong was just about to say something, but when he saw Aaron's face, he continued to teach the knowledge of finding area.
"Fellow Daoist has become a scholar, and Taixue now has hundreds of students and is really famous."
Du Longzi said.
Regarding the current chaos in the world, Xu Lingzi did not care about it and just taught, which made him feel a little disappointed.
"But the prefectural and county offices can't even put up a front now... They're still under military control. There will definitely be problems in the long run.
"It's almost there... In a few months, the first batch of Taipei students will have been enrolled for one year and can be dragged out for practice."
Aaron laughed: "Actually, if you can recognize a thousand words, you can probably understand official documents. If you also study law, there won't be much problem in becoming an official."
Of course, this requires other supporting equipment.
For example, the format of official documents needs to be as concise as possible, preferably in vernacular.
In Da Song's view, this was naturally an insult to elegance, but Aaron took advantage of the newly established government and the white paper to draw on, so he immediately ordered the official document to be concise and meaningful.
This is the charm of pictographic characters. Even if you don’t recognize a few characters, and even guess based on the context, you won’t be able to figure out the meaning. That’s enough!
As for the law?
Well, Aaron can't find time to compile it at the moment, so he changed the "Dasong Code" and taught these officials. If there is enough manpower in the future, he can compile the real "Liang Code"!
"Especially this method of measurement... You don't need to know the principles. You just need to remember the formula, measure carefully, memorize it, and apply it mechanically... If you don't agree, you are not diligent enough and you will be expelled."
Aaron even planned to separate the officials who knew the law from the officials who measured the earth, so that they could specialize in the art, and at the same time, the training time would be reduced again.
"In this way... an official can be quick-tracked in one year. Although there will be some mistakes while working, just pay the tuition."
"In the future, specialized schools will be opened in various places, and even if private students are allowed to carry out this kind of study, they must pass the examination. The syllabus will not use the Four Books and Five Classics, and will not test any poems and songs. Instead, it will focus on Ming, arithmetic, and strategy.
…”
"This..." Du Longzi smiled bitterly: "Taoist Master is like this... He will lose the heart of a scholar. Those who transmit poems and books will probably hate Daliang to death!"
What do scholars rely on to become an official? They rely on the Four Books and Five Classics!
As a result, Aaron said that the Four Books and Five Classics should not be tested. Those academic families who controlled the reading methods and interpretation power of the classics,
To the academy...everyone would have to vomit blood!
At this time, Aaron had already walked to Taixue Square with Du Longzi, and saw a lake with green jade-like water and willow trees planted beside it.
The breeze was blowing. He took a willow leaf and immediately smiled: "Hate it if you hate it."
"The heart of fellow Taoist is really strong, I admire you."
Du Longzi sincerely praised: "It should be noted that even those emperors who dominate the world are very concerned about the opinions of the scholars in the world... After all, this involves the foundation of rule and the consolidation of the country."
"What you said is wrong..."
Aaron pointed to himself in surprise: "The emperor needs to care about the scholars in the world. Am I the emperor? I'm not. I'm just a Taoist. And scholars already look down on Taoists, and I look down on them too. What else can I do?"
‘But by doing this, you have tricked King Liang!’ Du Longzi rolled his eyes, but knowing that it would be the same whether he said it or not, he swallowed it down.
After thinking about it, he said: "Fellow Taoist, maybe you want to spread Taoism to the world? But it would be too much to suppress scholars like this... It would be better to give some grace in the future. It should be noted that among the three religions in the past dynasties, why has the famous religion been able to flourish? It is precisely because of its reputation.
The teacher is the most suitable person to rule!"
"Yes...if we don't use famous religion, the number of officials would have to increase tenfold to achieve the effect of using famous religion.
To go deep into villages and towns, the number of officials may need to be increased a hundred times?"
Aaron smiled: "But we can't give up the power of the countryside just because of difficulties!"
Since ancient times, imperial power has not been sent to the countryside. This is the shortcoming of famous religion. It is equivalent to handing over part of the management power to the clan, scholars and even ancestral halls. It is normal for people to be beaten to death.
But Aaron is unwilling. After all, this kind of influence is also very powerful!
To build your own system, you need to go deep into all aspects, dig deep and make a few points, and then dedicate yourself to the world!
"So...can the imperial tax and tax support it?"
Dulongzi was shocked!
A hundred times more officials, Kuixu Lingzi dares to say!
"The purpose of taxation in the past dynasties is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure... To increase revenue is to check hidden households, measure the acres of land, and then let the officials and gentry tax together... The so-called interception means to make the army feel aggrieved, and the salary should be reduced again, and a military household village should be established through which to pay
Military pay."
Aaron blinked.
In fact, he can deduct half of the military pay alone. After all, the Liujia Divine Soldiers don't need any money except for food, drink and weapons.
But it can’t be so special, so we have to set up a bank.
When the time comes, the money in Liujia Shenbing's account will naturally never be touched again, or in other words, it will only be touched by himself!
