"The official school starts with children. While teaching the words of sages, we also need to teach arithmetic, farming and workers' skills!" Li Changfeng's eyes were bright.
"Start from the young child?" Emperor Gan Wu was a little surprised.
Li Changfeng nodded solemnly.
"That's right, just start with the young children, three years old... Oh no, you can start at the age of six. First teach children literacy and basic arithmetic. This is crucial for enlightenment education."
"Then teach them to read articles more, learn etiquette, integrity, integrity, integrity, loyalty, righteousness, and filial piety, establish a correct outlook on life, and at the same time start teaching some skills that can be used in life."
"When you become an adult, you will divide more professional learning directions based on their interests and hobbies and specialties. For example, if you like arithmetic, let them learn arithmetic. You can work in the Ministry of Revenue in the future. No matter how bad you are, you can become a shopkeeper or accountant. of."
"People who like farmers and workers' work will let them learn these things specifically. In the future, they can play their strengths when they can work in the Ministry of Revenue, and they can also be sent to the local area to shine and heat."
"If you like military affairs, let them learn military strategies and ask retired generals to teach them personally. In this way, they will continuously cultivate reserve forces with military foundations, and with a little experience, they can stand alone."
"I won't say much more about the specific ones. I believe you can understand what the ones you mean."
Speaking of this, Li Changfeng paused and said solemnly: "The most important thing is that the official establishment of schools can give children from poor families the opportunity to become successful. Only by breaking the monopoly of the powerful and wealthy class on studying and promotion can they be difficult for them. It poses a threat to the dominance of the big fight!”
Hearing this, Emperor Gan Wu looked a little excited.
He carried his hands on his back and forth quickly in the imperial study room, obviously feeling uneasy.
Why are the powerful and powerful people all powerful and powerful for generations, and the poor people almost all poor for generations?
In the final analysis, when the powerful and wealthy study, their descendants can become officials through the imperial examinations and continue to protect their family interests.
They don't have to worry about a certain child being incompetent.
After all, they have money, and there are many wives, concubines, and children. There is always one who has become a talented person. As long as one becomes an official, it can ensure the inheritance of the family.
What should I do if my son doesn’t work?
And grandson!
And what about the children of poor families?
It would be nice to have enough food, where can I have money to study?
Those who are a little older can work have to help their family work and have no time to study.
This leads to the rich becoming rich and becoming a heritage of the powerful for generations, and the poor becoming a poor person who is hardworking and hardworking. If they really can't survive, they will rise up.
Those who are always rich will be in conflict with each other and form alliances. After the huge network of relationships is established, officials will inevitably protect each other, causing the polarization of the country to fall into crisis.
Emperor Gan Wu was familiar with history books, and he overthrew the world under the corrupt previous dynasty, and he had a deep understanding of this.
What Li Changfeng said is indeed a good way to fundamentally solve this problem.
But the problem is also very big.
Emperor Gan Wu stopped and said helplessly: "There is not so much money to do it now, and I am simply unable to establish the schools you mentioned nationwide."
Emperor Gan Wu did not expect the poor to pay their children to come to school out of their own pocket. The only way was to do it was to pay the money for the treasury.
But according to Li Changfeng, the school, teaching staff and other expenses required by children for more than ten years of education are simply unable to bear the burden of hard work.
Li Changfeng smiled and said, "It is obviously unrealistic to promote the country with the current strength of Dadang. You can promote it in the capital first. As for the cost, I will not let my father ask for a penny."
Emperor Gan Wu refused to comment and asked, "Changfeng, why did you suddenly remember the reform of the education system?"
Li Changfeng couldn't help but think of the seven or eight-year-old boy and sighed.
"Father, son minister met a child among the refugees. He couldn't read a word of big words, but he was very talented in scientific research!"
"But he had no chance to study at all. In fact, even if he was born in a powerful family, he could only read the words of the saint, which would bury his talent!"
"In the eyes of scholars, our research institutes are just strange and lewd skills, and they cannot be on the table at all. But these so-called strange and lewd skills have the power to change the world."
"It is precisely because of this that my sons thought of reforming the education system. After the school was established, the imperial examination system would be completely abolished, so that everyone could use their production and what they had learned, but they had the opportunity to change their destiny. !”
Emperor Gan Wu was shocked.
He didn't expect that Li Changfeng even planned to reform the imperial examination system.
Emperor Gan Wu frowned and walked quickly back and forth in the imperial study room.
Li Changfeng knew that Emperor Gan Wu was measuring the pros and cons, so he remained silent and said nothing.
After a while, Emperor Gan Wu stopped, stared at Li Changfeng with bright eyes, and said in a deep voice: "It is undeniable that the reform method you mentioned is very good, and it can even be said to change the national destiny of my great efforts... But, I Can't agree!"
Li Changfeng asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Because you are digging the foundation of all the powerful people in the world! And the officials we are working hard today are almost all these powerful people who are responsible for the role!"
Li Changfeng suddenly realized.
Any powerful and smart person who has a brain will know that this move will cut off the wealth of their descendants and will definitely strongly oppose it.
Even if a riot is launched, it will be spared.
"So, Father, are you worried that they will commit rebellion?"
Emperor Gan Wu nodded: "That's right, and this probability is still very high. Dagan has not been many years since its founding, and he cannot withstand such troubles. Now the time is not yet ripe."
Li Changfeng thought for a moment and nodded, "My son understand."
To put it bluntly, Emperor Gan Wu was afraid of the rebellion of the powerful.
However, this is not an unsolvable problem.
As long as we find the right opportunity to show the power of artillery and muskets to these powerful people in person, they will realize that even if there are many soldiers rebelling, they will only become cannon fodder.
Then they will accept the arrangements of fate obediently.
What is missing now is an opportunity.
"Then let the world see the power of our muskets and cannons, and then start reforming the education system and the imperial examination system."
Emperor Gan Wu nodded: "There will be a chance."
After talking a lot of long stories, Li Changfeng was tired, so he said goodbye to Emperor Gan Wu and went to Jingren Palace to look at Concubine Lin and Li Mingzhu, and then left the palace.
After returning home, Li Changfeng sent someone to start an internal school in the Research Institute, and asked the staff of the Research Institute as teachers and recruited his children to study in the school.
Since the reform of the education system of hard work cannot be implemented in a short period of time, we should start with his own people and train reserve talents for the research institute early.
When the time is ripe, promote it to the entire Dakan.
...
It's night.
Li Changfeng was sleeping soundly in the room when suddenly a hurried knock on the door came, and Bingbing shouted outside.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up!"
Li Changfeng was awakened and looked surprised.
As his personal girl, Bingbing has always cared for him and has at least disturbed him in the middle of the night.
Unless there is something very important.
"What's wrong? Come in."
Li Changfeng said while getting up.
Bingbing pushed the door open and looked anxious.
"Your Majesty ordered you to enter the palace as quickly as possible!"
As he said that, Bingbing quickly came over to serve Li Changfeng's clothes.
Li Changfeng couldn't help but frown.
Something must have happened.
Otherwise, the father would never have summoned him into the palace in the middle of the night.
What can it be?
Li Changfeng was a little puzzled.
At this time, Xiaotong walked in with a basin of hot water.
Li Changfeng put on his clothes, wiped his face sloppyly, and walked quickly outside the mansion. There was a person waiting anxiously at the door. It was his old acquaintance, Eunuch Zhang.
"Meet Your Highness the Ninth Prince!"
Eunuch Zhang bowed and Li Changfeng quickly stepped forward to help him up and asked in a low voice: "Lao Zhang, what happened?"
Eunuch Zhang looked around and lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty received an urgent report late at night that the barbarians invaded, and the situation seemed to be quite serious!"
Li Changfeng's expression also became solemn.
"Walk!"
He immediately got on the carriage and rushed to the palace.
Li Changfeng never expected the barbarians to invade at this time.
Before, whether it was him, Emperor Gan Wu, or other generals in the court, they believed that the barbarians would not launch a large-scale attack in winter.
After all, a large-scale attack in winter is a very severe test for supply and marching.
According to their previous expectations, even if the barbarians were going to invade, it would be after spring.
Soon, Li Changfeng arrived at the palace.
You can see the bright lights in the imperial study from afar. After entering, you can see Prime Minister Feng Quji, General Ye Qingcang, Minister of War Yue Jianghe, and Minister of Revenue Chen Dingyuan.
They are all important officials.
Emperor Gan Wu sat upright behind the imperial desk and looked expressionless. He bowed tall and stood beside him, with a cold expression.
Li Changfeng bowed and bowed.
"My son pays homage to the father."
Emperor Gan Wu nodded slightly, Feng Quji and others hurriedly bowed and bowed, but Li Changfeng didn't ask for help, so he let everyone calm down.
"Father, what happened?" Li Changfeng frowned.
"After receiving the urgent report, the barbarians dispatched 80,000 troops to invade the Delta area. Nangong Changming retreated to Zhennan Pass, and now he is in danger." Emperor Gan Wu said with a very fast speech.
Li Changfeng was a little surprised.
"The 80,000 army drove Nangong Changming to Zhennan Pass?!"
The southern border has many soldiers and generals, with more than 100,000 troops, and the deserted palace also has 50,000 troops to support at any time, with a total of 200,000.
Even if the barbarian warriors are strong and capable of fighting, they should not be defeated so thoroughly under such a huge gap in military strength.
Retreat to Zhennan Pass means that the rich delta area has become the territory of the barbarians, which is extremely serious for Dagan.
Besides, Nangong Changming, who followed Emperor Ganwu to fight south and north, was a famous general in a hundred battles, and his ability to lead the army is no less than Ye Qingcang.
How could such a person be defeated so tragically?
At this moment, the old general Ye Qingcang spoke: "It is naturally impossible to defeat Nangong Changming with only 80,000 barbarians. Instead, they did not know what methods they used to drive away more than 3,000 evil beasts to help the battle, and they would be defeated. It was so miserable that the military newspaper said that the number of casualties exceeded 50,000."
