One thousand four hundred and seventy-fourth section wisdom 2
Pyongyang Academy, the giant in Andong, is the well-deserved number one school!
After five long years of hard work and management, today, the entire Pyongyang Academy covers an area of more than 10,000 acres!
A first-class academic area including a library, martial arts training grounds, school buildings and a large number of buildings was established.?Network
There are professors and thousands of students.
For such a huge academy, the expenses are naturally unimaginable.
In order to maintain the normal operation of the Pyongyang Academy, the Academy's annual budget has been tens of millions since the fifth year of Yuandeok! And it is increasing year by year!
For example, this year, it is only June, and the expenses of Pyongyang Academy have already exceeded 30 million!
There is no way, education is the most resource-consuming thing.
In particular, Pyongyang Academy is an academy whose purpose is to cultivate elites.
Students are not only required to master the theories and knowledge of Zajia, but are also required to have the skills to ride horses, archery, and use various mainstream weapons.
Not only that, the most outstanding ones among them will also be sent to the Guard Army to receive military training.
Then, they have to learn many miscellaneous subjects including mathematics, geometry, and farming.
The purpose of Zajia is to learn from Confucianism, Legalism, Huang Mo, and the learning of hundreds of schools of thought, and apply it to oneself.
For Zajia, understanding the knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought is just the beginning.
Just like laying the foundation before building a house.
Therefore, it naturally costs a lot of money to train disciples.
Fortunately, although the Pyongyang Academy has a lot of expenses, it also has a lot of income.
According to the provisions of the "Jiaxue Edict" promulgated throughout the country during the reign of the late Emperor, academies in various places can receive financial subsidies from the state after being registered with the government.
The amount of subsidy is calculated based on teachers and students.
Although the money is not much, it is only fifty-five yuan per person per year.
But the Pyongyang Academy is huge, so from this, it can earn hundreds of thousands a year.
In addition, after the emperor came to the throne, in the third year of Yuande, he wrote a letter to the Shaofu, ordering the Shaofu to return the sums paid by teachers and students of academies in various places to the academy, so as to encourage local sages and celebrities to run schools.
Although the various academic schools generally believe that there is no need to go to such trouble, wouldn't it be nice to directly issue an edict to exempt scholars from calculating their gifts?
But the emperor didn't allow it, and even picked up several doctors who said similar things and cursed them.
There is no way, who calls someone the emperor?
Besides, getting something back is better than not getting anything back!
As for the Pyongyang Academy specifically, this is the return of millions in endowments every year.
In addition to national-level subsidies, various local subsidies will also be provided to local schools.
Taking the Pyongyang Academy as an example, the Andong Protectorate subsidizes around 3 million in student aid every year. This money is not given directly to the Pyongyang Academy for use, but is supervised by the Protectorate and used for students.
Purchase all kinds of books, pens and ink.
The King of Joseon, King of Han, King Jinban, King Buyeo and other vassal princes would also allocate a portion of the income from their palaces to the Pyongyang Academy as scholarships every year.
The money is not much, adding up to only three million a year.
However, it is enough to use it to subsidize poor students and reward outstanding teachers.
Therefore, every year, the Pyongyang Academy receives more than 10 million yuan in various funds from various official channels.
This money will only increase but not decrease, and it is a fixed input.
However, it is obvious that the Pyongyang Academy cannot maintain normal operations with this money.
Therefore, in fact, the majority of the income of this academy is still the same as other academies, basically coming from donations from local celebrities, nobles and wealthy businessmen.
Like Jixia Academy, Gwangcheon Academy, Handan Academy and other well-known academies in Nei6, Pyongyang Academy also implements a donation and recommendation system.
To put it simply, whoever gives more money can have their children and nephews enter school faster and get better teacher education.
Over the years, with the expansion of Anton and the gold rush, a large number of new wealthy people and middle class have been created.
Nouveau riche are everywhere.
Rangers, merchants, and whaling industry practitioners, after they reach adulthood and have money, they naturally don't want their heirs to live like themselves, licking blood with the tip of a knife and fighting for their lives with their heads raised.
At the same time, the slogans and theories of the Pyongyang Academy are particularly in line with the demands and goals of these people.
Therefore, wealthy businessmen, big businessmen, and nobles from all over the country donated generously.
Just the northwest captain Chen Jiao and the western captain Chen Xu brothers donate millions of money and materials of similar value every year.
Liu Ming, the king of Joseon, was deeply influenced by his assistant minister Han Anguo and was also a supporter of Zajia's ideas.
Therefore, we not only give money to people and policies, but also give land!
Initially, the Pyongyang Academy was just a shabby academy established on a hill outside Pyongyang.
But now, the academy covers an area of more than 10,000 acres, and has tens of thousands of acres of academic land under its name.
And these lands were given by the king of Korea over the years.
Sometimes, the king of Joseon would even grant land more than ten times a year.
There are also many different names.
What are the Emperor Qianqiu, the Queen Mother Qianqiu, the Queen Mother Qianqiu, the King of Liang Qianqiu, the Queen of Liang Qianqiu.
In short, if you catch the name, you will give away farmland, land and money.
The remaining kings of the vassal states, such as King Han and King Zhenfan, naturally did not dare to neglect. They had to make a show and donate property during every year and festival.
Relying on donations, Pyongyang Academy can earn over 30 million yuan in one year!
It is precisely because of such a huge source of donations that the giants of the Pyongyang Academy are able to absorb a large number of talents from ordinary people and even from extremely poor families.
Today, Pyongyang Academy claims to have three thousand disciples, five thousand disciples, and eight hundred sages!
In terms of the number of teachers and students, it dwarfs all other schools of thought and can almost compete with Guangchuan Academy, the most popular school of Gongyang School.
However, it is the same as all other schools of thought.
As the forest gets bigger, there will naturally be more disputes.
At that time, Wu Bei, Zuo Wu, and Jinchang came to Pyongyang with thirty-five disciples, disciples, retainers, and four dilapidated carriages, as well as 300,000 yuan presented by Xu Jiu and rewarded by the emperor.
They took matters into their own hands, clearing out barren hills, digging trenches, cutting down trees to build schools, and erecting the memorial archway for the Pyongyang Academy.
At that time, everyone was united as one, sharing common ideals, ambitions and pursuits.
but now……
The situation is completely different.
The Za family unified Anton, and their influence radiated to Liaodong and western Liaoning.
He even crossed mountains and seas and broke into Qilu, Wuchu, the stronghold of Confucianism.
In the Andong area, the influence of the Zajia family is unquestionable!
As the number of disciples increased, the influence became greater and greater, and more and more nobles and merchants participated in the miscellaneous family.
Inevitably, differences slowly emerged among the founders.
Of course, because Zuo Wu, Wu Bei, and Jinchang have shared joys and sorrows and experienced hardships, this difference has not yet turned into a rift.
All parties can also sit down and discuss together.
Even if we don't agree with each other, we can still be tolerant based on the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences.
However, among the second and third generations, differences have turned into contradictions.
Zuo Wu, Wu Bei, Jinchang, their disciples, disciples, and their respective supporters have now clearly formed three different factions.
The current Pyongyang Academy has been vaguely divided into two different factions that appear to be the same but are actually completely different.
Zuo Wu and Jinchang and their supporters were one group, while Wu Bei and his supporters were another group.
There have been arguments and even fierce conflicts between the two factions.
There is no way, the debate over ideological paths is a dialectical issue related to truth.
It is the dispute between the orthodox and the heretical, and the competition between orthodoxy and heresy.
Each faction wants to crush the other faction to death, but because of the relationship and affection between Zuo Wu, Jinchang and Wu Bei, the two factions have not yet broken up.
At this moment, these three giants of Pyongyang Academy gathered together to discuss who should go to Xinhua City to meet Xu Jiu.
"Xu Gong invites Brother Jin to make this trip, right?" Wu was suggested: "In the past, Brother Jin and Xu Gong were the closest, so it would be most appropriate for Brother Jin to go..."
Jinchang, however, shook his head like a rattle and refused sternly, saying: "That's inappropriate! If I go to Xinhua, I'm afraid it will alert the Confucian and Legalist schools. After all, I served as Duke Xu's family order in the past.
…”
When Wu Ben heard this, he chuckled. He naturally knew what Jinchang was worried about?
Aren't you worried that after Jinchang leaves, Zuo Wu will be unable to support himself in the Pyongyang Academy?
Wu Bei was well aware of his old friend's worries, but Wu Bei also knew that the current Zajia family was far from having the capital for internal strife.
What Zuo Wu and Jinchang advocate and the direction he pursues are actually just different paths, but their respective pursuits and goals are still the same.
We still advocate "the wisdom of the masses", we still aim at "people's prosperity", and we still yearn for the concept of "the world is for the common good".
Therefore, Wu Bei took advantage of the situation and said: "Since Brother Zuo said this, then I would rather be respectful than obey..."
Even though Wu Bei is just one person, his faction is the most powerful and has the highest reputation.
In fact, except for Anton, people in other parts of the world have only heard of his name Wu Bei, but have never heard of Zuo Wu and Jinchang.
This makes sense.
Because the supporters of the Wu quilt are all nobles, bureaucrats, and powerful children.
Wu Cui advocated "gathering the wisdom of all sages and creating peace for all ages", and Zuo Wu and Jinchang pursued "gathering the wisdom of the world and promoting sages", which has gradually drifted away.
It's okay among the three of them, they can still talk and laugh.
But among the disciples and disciples, many people are now incompatible with each other.
There have been many instances of disagreements and drawing swords at each other.
But there is no way around it.
They even knew it would lead to a split in the school, but they had no choice but to do so.
The reason is very simple. What they want to do is something that has never been done before, and the road they want to take is a road full of thorns and bumps.
In order to find this path, they have tried various efforts over the years.
Wu Bei even went into the wilderness himself, lived with the barbarians, and used the real land to verify it.
In the end, reality broke his head.
In order to see the dawn of the realization of their ideals in their lifetime, they can only risk division.
Actively separate each other's paths.
Wu Bei began to actively advocate "gathering the wisdom of all sages to create peace for all ages", thus creating a complete set of rigorous systems and theories.
Zuo Wu and Jinchang, on the other hand, pursued "the act of gathering the wisdom of the world and promoting sages".
These two roads, one leads to the governance of the country by the elites among the nobles, powerful men and scholar-bureaucrats, and the other leads to the common decision of all people in the world, which echoes the noble thoughts of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals".
There is no doubt that now it seems that Wu Bei's group has received more attention and praise.
The aristocrats and bureaucrats praised him one after another, saying, "Wu Zi studied ancient and modern times, had ambitions for the world, and followed the path of the sages. He can be said to be a sage!"
Wu was directly named Wu Zi, and he spared no effort to create noise and fame for Wu.
The Zuo Wu and Jinchang factions were suppressed and restricted.
Initially, Wu Bei, Zuo Wu, and Jinchang's ideal of taking the initiative to separate paths and explore separately has now changed in the face of reality.
After all, even people like Chen Yu Zhang'er who have life-and-death acquaintances, not only with the passage of time, but in reality, each other eventually turned into wanting the other to die immediately, and even in order to let each other die.
The other party will die, and he will not hesitate to seek refuge with his original enemy!
The same is true for the relationship between Wu Bei, Zuo Wu and Jinchang.
The struggles between disciples and disciples, and the differences and differences in each other's paths have actually caused them to drift apart.
Wu Bei felt that Zuo Wu and Jinchang were typical elm-headed people who did not know how to adapt, while Zuo Wu and Jinchang thought that Wu Bei was too arrogant and had forgotten his original intention and intention and became the lackeys of the scholar-bureaucrats.
Especially recently, Wu Bei's disciples have been clamoring that "people with a family of less than 100,000 are unpopular", which made Zuo Wu and Jinchang furious.
According to Wu Bei's disciples, people with a family income of less than 100,000 people should not come out to chirp, nor should they have any decision-making power.
All major national affairs and policies can be arranged by 'elites and wise men' like them.
Mud legs and all, just obey and obey.
Do you want to come up and speak?
good!
If your family fortune reaches 100,000, you will have the right to speak.
Otherwise, get away as far as your thoughts go!
Of course, Zuo Wu and Jinchang also knew that Wu Bei's disciples did not deliberately look down on the common people or discriminate against them.
Pyongyang Academy is originally a practical school.
Among Wu Bei's disciples, there are also many who have gone deep into the local grassroots and presided over specific work.
They were once full of passion, hoping to lead the people onto the road to a happy life.
But reality gave them a blow.
Many times, the opinions of ordinary people are completely contrary to the ideas of these elites, and are even unreasonable.
The severe setbacks made them begin to change their ideas, and began to have the idea that "the people are ignorant and cannot be relied upon. If they want to achieve peace, they must first gather the wisdom of the sages to guide the people and teach them to transform them."
Even the standard of one hundred thousand yuan for a family is derived from this idea.
Because, in their eyes, only those who have a certain amount of property can read, understand the changes in the world, and think about why we should do this? Why can't we do this?
However, Zuo Wu and Jinchang knew.
Their thinking is wrong.
Although the people are ignorant, they can know and understand the policies through education and guidance.
Besides, can having money determine whether you are a wise person or a foolish person?
The foundation of Zajia's sect and the spirit of establishing a school has been from the very beginning: trust and deception are based on nature, not closeness; being wise and foolish is based on the heart, not high or low!
Using such a crude standard as one hundred thousand disciples to classify the wise and the foolish is a betrayal of the Zajia ancestors and the Zajia themselves!
