Chapter 219 Immortal cultivators will not want the human race to reach this point
Xu Mochen needs talents. Strictly speaking, he needs a lot of people.
It is not enough to rely on the few ministers he has promoted in the court. He needs middle and low-level officials who are more loyal to the court.
We also need students from all over the world who pretend to be great officials, emperors, and human beings in their hearts.
The embarrassing thing is that he can't shout to the world: Human beings! You are raised by immortal cultivators!
After saying this, the people must have thought that the emperor was crazy.
There are immortal cultivators in this world who are hiding things from the human race. Even if they are exposed, they can use soul searching and brainwashing to erase their memories.
For immortals, mortals have more of a mentality of faith and awe, or there are only a few legends left behind.
With the ability of cultivators, it is not a problem at all to hide the common people from the uninformed and information-blocked era.
On the contrary, once it was revealed that everyone could cultivate immortality, Xu Mochen thought that the world would be in chaos.
Tang Derun has perfectly completed his explanation work as a special assistant, and Xu Mochen needs to face the problem himself.
For the first time, I realized the shackles of cultural and spiritual governance.
Xu Mochen began to collect information.
As an emperor, of course there are many resources such as classical books.
He didn't pay much attention to it before, just like Blue Star, the Four Books and Five Classics were words of saints and eight-legged essays.
Hundreds and thousands of years of imperial examinations eventually formed a fixed routine.
What Xu Mochen wanted back then was to issue an edict after unification, open up people's wisdom, and introduce a modern education model.
But things are different now. If culture is formulated by immortal cultivators, there must be content in it that restricts thinking and breakthroughs.
There are piles of books piled up in the imperial study room. Xu Mochen has nothing to do lately, so he just reads books every day.
Fortunately, I have the sense to pick up a book and scan it, and I have basically read it.
"This is about the induction of heaven and beings," he held several books and said to himself, "but it's different. It's more about people's absolute fear of destiny, secrets and appearances.
In other words, the immortal cultivators create a kind of "heaven" that cannot be overridden. Once the human race changes, they can create corresponding heavenly warnings to stop the human race.
A good method, brainwashing starts from the baby."
There are not many people who can help Xu Mochen when it comes to studying and doing culture.
Tang Derun is the general manager of the embroidery department. In terms of the company, he is a special assistant. In terms of the national structure, he is actually the head of the KGB.
He is very good at spying on intelligence, collecting information, assassination, etc., but if he is asked to study...he will fail.
Neither can Shen Zhining. She was a college student before time travel, but she received a modern education.
Although Du Niang is connected to her head, Du Niang doesn’t have all the information.
The key is that Du Niang will not give the answer to the question "How to solve the cultural domination of immortal cultivators".
Xu Mochen actually thought that there might be immortal cultivators in Blue Star just like here, but they were slowly retreating under the aura of the technology of the times and embarked on the path of separation from the human race.
But he really doesn't know how Blue Star survived the era of immortal cultivators' rule.
Gu Jinge is best at playing the flute, that is, she is a musical artist, and she was a former princess. She does not need to study, she just needs to learn a few female classics and recognize the characters.
Most of the princesses are vases, used for marriage, and do not require too high a diploma.
Shu Wuyin... Not to mention, she is a first-rate ghoul, invulnerable to fire and water, and invincible in the world. It’s her body that I’m talking about.
At present, it seems that Shu Wuyin has not returned to normal, and there is a high probability that his head is also normal.
Not to mention other things, there are many technicians who are engaged in medicine, machinery, etc...
So this group of people could only sit in the imperial study room and watch Xu Mochen buried in a pile of books.
Shen Zhining held a glass of freshly squeezed juice: "The imperial examination is the college entrance examination, which selects talents for the country.
It’s just that when we get here, it becomes a selection of talents for immortal cultivators.
Your Majesty, I believe that the most critical breakthrough lies in the education model
changes.
But to move this piece is equivalent to moving the cake that everyone in the world will eat."
That's right, if Xu Mochen dares to do it, Shifang World will dare to stab him.
Singer Gu Jin also had a glass of juice in her mouth. She bit the straw on her red lips and sipped on it: "Daqian was originally a small border country in the north. In fact, it only absorbed part of the Chinese culture.
On the contrary, after unification, Chinese culture was formally accepted and Chinese studies were formed.
This has been inherited since ancient times, and it is not easy to make changes."
Xu Mochen was too lazy to talk to these two people.
Yes, yes, everything you said is right.
There are also people who can help Xu Mochen, such as Zhao Lingbo.
Zhao Lingbo is a leader among the talented women in the capital. She has read poetry and books since she was a child.
"I didn't feel it before. I just thought that the words of saints and the various precepts were clear and organized." She knew that Xu Mochen was irritable, so she comforted her softly and helped organize it. "Now that I think about it carefully, it's actually all organized.
It is said that reading can improve your intelligence, but if you read too many such books, you will block your thinking."
"The immortal cultivators use this to control the human race," Xu Mochen sneered more and more as he watched, "But for the imperial power, such a brainwashed human race is what emperors of all dynasties are happy to see."
That's right, Xu Mochen saw that there was the work of immortal cultivators here, as well as the need for the rule of previous emperors.
The policy of obscuring the people and the backwardness of information transmission make it easy to isolate and block changes once they occur.
Such a general environment makes the emperor's rule more stable.
Finally, Xu Mochen stood up irritably.
Judging from the organized context, this situation is difficult to break.
Mu Nanyi, who had been silent until now, said now: "Your Majesty is worried about this problem."
Xu Mochen nodded.
"I want to make changes in the selection of talents," Mu Nanyi followed his own train of thought, "On the original basis, even if His Majesty makes reforms, the changes will still remain the same."
This is the core point of Xu Mochen's troubles.
"Therefore, Your Majesty may wish to think about how to make basic changes," Mu Nanyi suggested. "The social status of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants has been inherited from ancient times to the present.
Scholars rank at the top because the path to becoming an official is exclusive to scholars.
Once you become an official, you have power. With power, there will naturally be corresponding benefits."
This is reality, a reality that Xu Mochen cannot change.
"Then the problem is that ordinary people are busy with basic food and clothing," Mu Nanyi continued, "and don't have much spare time to go to school to study."
Tang Derun stepped forward: "Your Majesty, in fact, after the reunification, you have issued a decree to promote the construction of schools in all states and counties across the country, but..."
Xu Mochen remembered this incident and looked back with a puzzled expression in his eyes.
"It's just that most of the schools are fake," Tang Derun smiled bitterly, "Master Mu made it very clear that the people didn't have enough to eat or wear, so they didn't go to study."
Xu Mochen immediately grasped the key point: "Sir, what you are saying is that the first step is to improve the per capita living standards of the people?"
"Your Majesty is already doing this," Mu Nanyi nodded. "The existence of classes cannot be eliminated absolutely. Wei Chen believes that the first step your Majesty must take is to bring most of the people of Daqian to the new
Height."
Shen Zhining searched for information: "From the perspective of Chinese history, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the popularization of education was indeed a process.
It can be said that in addition to state-led promotion, the improvement of basic living standards is directly proportional to the popularity of education."
"Write it down," Xu Mochen gestured to Tang Derun to record it, "Let's talk freely, I will forgive you today."
"Before the unification of Daqian and Qianlong, there were turbulent times. I have experienced that era," Mun Nanyi simply let go. "Even a wise king like your Majesty, when it comes to guiding national policies, he mainly focuses on military affairs."
Emphasizing military force and neglecting literature is the key to survival of a country in troubled times.
In troubled times, most people who govern a country with benevolence, filial piety and the words of saints will easily perish.
"Of course, it's not that culture and governance are unimportant," Mu Nanyi continued, seeing Xu Mochen thoughtful, "it's just that the emphasis is different in different periods.
The main problem now is that in the eyes of the courtiers, that is, the immortal cultivators, they have no need to promote the cultural improvement of the people."
Shen Zhining nodded: "The more popular a country is in terms of education and information transparency, unless it is a dictatorship-type political system, the more difficult it is to control the people."
Immortal cultivators would not want the human race to reach this point.
