After learning about this matter, Fang Pu looked at Long Lin.
"Your Highness, I understand this matter, but what about the other one? What should we do about the school?"
After Long Lin thought for a while, he expressed his thoughts.
"Master Fang, do you think our imperial court's education is correct?"
With one sentence, Fang Pu was immediately stunned on the spot. This was not something he could talk about.
"Your Highness, what the imperial court has done is certainly right."
Long Lin shook his head decisively, he didn't agree with it.
"Master Fang, there are no outsiders here, so don't worry so much."
"There are some people in the imperial court, but they are not gods. People will make mistakes sometimes. No one is perfect, how can it be possible that he is always right?"
Long Lin said to himself, but Fang Pu was indifferent.
His expression was as if he had not heard what he said at all and had no reaction at all.
Long Lin saw it in his eyes and could naturally understand that Mr. Fang was different from him after all, and Fang Pu must have many worries.
He can say some things, but Mr. Fang will definitely not dare to say more.
"Okay, Mr. Fang, let me put it another way. What do you think is the purpose of studying?"
Studying? Fang Pu naturally understands this.
"Your Majesty, the purpose of studying is to be able to go to high school, and then to get an official position and serve the imperial court."
Long Lin didn't take it seriously and immediately let out a sneer.
"Master Fang, although the words are true, is it really true?"
With a word, Fang Pu fell into silence.
He naturally understood that the so-called service to the imperial court was completely false.
But facing a highness, he could only say this. He didn't want to get himself into big trouble because of a slip of the tongue.
"Master Fang, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to be so restrained, I just want to have a discussion with you."
"The so-called high school is already a very difficult thing for students all over the world."
"There are only so many official positions in the imperial court, and families that have been officials for generations have already taken most of them into their hands."
"There are very few people who can truly rely on passing the imperial examination."
As soon as Long Lin said these words, Fang Pu was stunned on the spot.
He is an official in the Ministry of Rites, so he naturally knows this better than anyone else.
Most of the many official positions are hereditary. When the father's generation retires, the son's generation will directly take over.
For several consecutive years, the imperial court had not held any imperial examinations. One can imagine how serious this matter was.
His Highness Long Lin renovated the school. In his opinion, this was simply impossible to achieve.
In other words, if His Highness takes the lead, another person may not be able to do it.
"Your Highness, you see it very clearly, so I won't say more."
Long Lin looked at Fang Pu and smiled.
It seems that what he said reached Fang Pu's heart.
"Master Fang, what do you think a person should study for?"
If he wasn't in high school, Fang Pu thought about it, and he didn't feel that much. No matter how good his literary talents were, he couldn't be used as food.
As a result, Fang Pu shook his head.
Long Lin saw this in his eyes and could only continue speaking.
"Master Fang, I think there are two very important aspects of studying."
Fang Pu immediately became interested.
"Your Highness, please speak."
Long Lin smiled and nodded.
"Beginners and Survivors."
Fang Pu didn't understand at all what this was.
"Your Highness, what is beginners? What is survival?"
"Oh, Your Highness, I know a little bit about survival, but I don't understand it as a beginner."
Long Lin showed a strange smile.
"Beginners should learn first, and seek survival later."
"Why should I be a beginner? Be literate, read words, understand reasoning, understand meaning, and be a good person."
"If a person betrays the country, is unkind, unfaithful, unfilial, bullies good and fears evil, seizes other people's things, bullies the weak, oppresses the people, etc., he is actually a beginner who has failed."
"What a beginner is, is to understand these things. As for whether you will be a good person in the future, that is not something that the court can control."
"If you don't teach, you can blame the court for this matter, but if you don't behave after teaching, then the court will have laws and the world will be righteous, and evildoers will naturally be punished by the court."
After hearing this, Fang Pu nodded.
If that's all it is, then it's not difficult to learn for the first time, and it even feels very simple.
"Your Highness, Fang Pu understands what you said about beginners."
Long Lin nodded.
"After you start school, you have to learn to survive. If you study just for high school, it will be a tragedy for the students of Long Dynasty."
"High school is just one of the ways to make a living, and high school does not necessarily lead to a happy ending. If you don't do good things, you might be beheaded by the court one day."
Fang Pu almost laughed out loud after hearing Long Lin's words.
"Your Highness, please continue."
The corner of Fang Pu's mouth twitched. He naturally noticed it, but he didn't blame him in his heart.
"There are many ways to survive, such as farming, raising livestock, becoming a teacher, becoming a technician, being a soldier, and being a businessman. These are all ways to survive."
"There are many ways to survive. If you don't learn it, you may not be able to master it."
"Therefore, the imperial court should popularize beginners and broaden the knowledge of survival so that more ordinary people can choose a skill that can make a living."
After Long Lin finished speaking, Fang Pu fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand His Highness Long Lin's thoughts.
"Your Highness, what do you mean, those students, after learning the basics, can choose to learn other skills?"
"For example, people who have passed the beginner's course can go to the traditional Chinese medicine hall to learn how to treat diseases and save lives?"
"Then the research institute established by Your Highness, will it have corresponding schools? And will those students be able to study there?"
Long Lin nodded, that's what he thought.
"Master Fang, what I think is not perfect. With the future development, various schools will definitely emerge."
"These schools can give more people the opportunity to choose, and then some of them who are good at it will take the initiative to choose the survival technique that suits them."
Fang Pu nodded. This time, he completely understood.
However, there is still a very critical issue.
"Your Highness, if a large number of people do this, how can there be any people willing to rebuild the land? If there is a lack of food, it will shake the foundation of the imperial court."
Long Lin naturally understood the importance of this matter.
This is the most fatal thing, and it is also a core issue that has always trapped the imperial court.
In order to have more food, they suppressed everything desperately, and then let more people throw themselves on the land.
This is a conspiracy by the powerful people in the court, and it is also their purpose, so that a large number of people have no chance to leave the land.
This was forced, not initiative at all.
But such a core problem can never be solved.
Could it be that only if more people farm the land can there be more food?
The improvement of tools, the optimization of seeds, the increase in the number of acres of cultivated land, and the increase in yield per mu are the real ways to change the problem.
