Chapter 103 Build a school and give Daqin a future.
"Sir, now that the locations of the Academy and Jiannan Square have been determined, Jing Yu has sent word that the Academy will be built first and it will be completed in three months!"
Wang Hu walked into the hall, looked at Ying Gao who was leaning on the long desk, and said: "Sir, how do you reply?"
Hearing this, Ying Gao put down the bamboo slips in his hand, raised his head and looked at Wang Hu, and said, "Go tell Gong Shuqiu and ask him to send someone to cooperate with Jing Yu."
"Let them speed up as much as possible while ensuring quality. The school matter is of great importance. My father is watching in Xianyang and cannot delay it."
"promise."
Wang Hu nodded in agreement and turned around to leave. He knew in his heart that Ying Gao was the center of attention at this time and he would never fail this time.
…
Watching Wang Hu leave, Ying Gao nodded slightly. He had no doubts about Jing Yu's words. During this period of time, he naturally had a deeper understanding of the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce.
Jing Yu is truly a business wizard. In the process of expanding Jiannan Plaza, he established a construction team that belongs exclusively to the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce.
They can start construction regardless of busy farming hours. This time, if the Gongshu family joins in, the school's construction speed will definitely be the fastest in the world.
"Three months?"
With a murmur, Ying Gao's eyes were as bright as a torch. He knew in his heart that building a school was not a temporary pleasure. He wanted to take this opportunity to give Da Qin a future.
However, the construction of the school is not simple.
In this era, schools naturally existed, but they were not as complicated as the school established by Ying Gao.
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the school was called Piyong, also known as Xiang, Xu, Xue, School, and Shu. However, it was not a specialized educational institution, but also a place for practicing archery and providing care for the elderly.
The reason why Ying Gao chose to open the school now, rather than after the world was unified, was because at this time, Qin Fa was deeply rooted.
However, this was the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when academics flourished, official schools declined, private schools rose, and education broke through the limitations of officials as teachers.
At this time, it is the easiest time to open a school. Otherwise, he will fight against the entire era and will die without a burial place.
"Liu Zhi, go and ask Ma Xing to come over!" As soon as he thought of this, Ying Gao's eyes narrowed and he ordered.
"promise."
…
Watching Liu Zhi leave, Ying Gao looked solemn. He knew in his heart that in the Qin Dynasty, there had always been signs of using the law as teaching and officials as teachers.
When the Qin Dynasty unified the world, it was pushed to the extreme by the First Emperor and Li Si.
Ying Gao is the son of Da Qin.
In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with using the law as a teaching and officials as teachers. This can strengthen the thinking of a country. After all, officials are selected and appointed at all levels.
They eat royal rations, receive salaries, and their lifelong wealth and future are in the hands of their superiors. They are bound to be able to obey orders only.
The interests of officials are tied to the rise and fall of the political power. They will both prosper and suffer. In order to safeguard their vested interests, they will not do anything that harms the political power.
Officials are trained to be familiar with legal provisions or government edicts, and then act according to the rules without going overboard. Therefore, they should not have any wild ideas or come up with some weird ideas.
The purpose of handing over the power of transmission and decision-making of ideas to officials is to eliminate heresy in the ideological field.
Regardless of that time, the existence of schools is to shape a person's world view, values, and outlook on life. This is extremely important.
This is also the reason why Ying Gao wrote Chinese studies himself.
…
As a special social organization, the school has been responsible for cultivating the people needed by society since its emergence.
The Jixia Academy in Qi State triggered the contention of hundreds of schools of thought. Confucius opened an apricot altar in the corridor of Dacheng Hall to teach the sages the Six Arts, which all carried the function of selecting talents.
"My subordinate has met the young master!"
Ma Xing walked into the hall, bowed solemnly to Ying Gao, and said.
Ma Xing has followed Ying Gao for a long time, and his understanding of Ying Gao has reached a certain level. Now, his respect for Ying Gao is not only due to his royal blood.
He knew clearly the ambition of the young man in front of him.
"Ma Xing, how is the recruitment of lecturers in the school going?" Ying Gao glanced at Ma Xing and said.
The construction of the school is not a problem as long as the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce is there, but the recruitment of lecturers is already a difficult task, even now at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when culture was booming.
"Your Excellency, there are already more than a hundred people, among whom the lecturers in Gewu include the Gongshu family and Qin Mo, so the pressure is not great for the time being!"
"At the same time, only a dozen people from doctors and farmers came, but the king sent people from the Qin court to make up for the shortfall."
…
"A bunch of frogs in a well!"
With a cold snort, Ying Gao was silent for a moment, stood up and faced Ma Xing, saying: "Open up the Sheriff's Mansion, and I plan to train this group of lecturers."
"Training on Chinese studies in the morning, training on medicine and agriculture in the afternoon, and training on studying things in the evening!"
"At the same time, training will be conducted in the first seven days, regardless of any subject, starting tomorrow!"
"promise."
…
At this moment, Ying Gao fully understood that everything needed to be self-sufficient. Only in this way could he create a holy place without relying on anyone or any force.
As soon as he thought about this, Ying Gao knew that he would be very busy next.
Except for the law department, which does not require his own training, and there are countless people in Da Qin who are proficient in Qin law, everyone else needs his training.
Otherwise, the results will definitely not be up to standard.
With this thought, Ying Gao decided not to aim too high and to be down-to-earth step by step, instead of focusing on soaring into the sky and letting himself fall short in one step.
…
"Sir, all lecturers, including lecturers on law, medicine, research, Chinese studies, and agriculture, have all arrived and are waiting for your instructions!"
Ma Xing came over in a hurry. When he thought about the scene with more than 300 people, he felt extremely excited. In Da Qin, such scenes were rare.
"Um."
Ying Gao, who had already dressed neatly, was silent for a while and said: "Give them bamboo slips and knives, and at the same time, order all officials in Luoyang to participate, except those who must remain in office."
Having said this, Ying Gao glanced at Ma Xing and said, "Come on, I'll be there in a minute—!"
"promise."
…
At this moment, everyone was making inexplicable speculations and discussions continued. In the entire county governor's house, everyone had a small case in front of them, with bamboo slips and carving knives on the table.
In front of everyone, there was an iron plate made by Shangfang, which was dyed white.
This is what Ying Gao is going to write, which is equivalent to a blackboard for later generations, and this room has also been specially transformed by the Gongshu family.
It can amplify Ying Gao's voice so that everyone can hear his words.
…
"I've met your lord!"
When Ying Gao appeared in the academy, everyone turned to Ying Gao and said:
