The question asked by the contemporary Confucian Peacock is also what the people from the four major schools present want to ask.
On this continent, Daxia is considered an empire with a relatively prosperous literary style, but it can only allow the sons of the rich, the powerful, the sons of the aristocratic families, and the sons of wealthy families to have the opportunity to be enlightened from an early age and get the opportunity to study!
In this era where a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, if the daughters of the rich, powerful, aristocratic, and powerful families can get enlightenment, three out of ten women are pretty good!
Of course, this statistical probability does not include the imperial capital!
Because the rich people in the imperial capital are truly the richest people in the world, with different eyes and minds!
The powerful people in the imperial capital, under the emperor's nose, are truly the most powerful in the world, and their treatment of their children's education is also different.
As for the aristocratic families in the imperial capital, they are truly long-standing families. Even if dynasties change, the powerful families will not easily collapse. Their children can get the opportunity to learn and learn!
However, talented women like Sima Lan are even rarer!
However, in this society, the rich and powerful are rare.
Therefore, poverty is the main theme of this society.
Children from poor families have to work for survival since childhood. If there are no opportunities, they will remain poor for life.
Back then, when Xia Tian said in the council meeting that children between the ages of seven and twelve in Huangzhou must receive enlightenment education, everyone was shocked!
However, no one asked why!
Because, for all Huangzhou families, this is a great thing!
At this time.
Li Si couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Huangzhou is now very poor and has problems with food and drink. If a large amount of financial and material resources are invested in the children's enlightenment education, are the priorities reversed?"
"Hahaha"
Xia Tian stood on the steps, his figure was like a sword, and his starry eyes were shining: "The wasteland was rebuilt after the war, and everything was poor and poor. This is a barbaric land in the eyes of the rich, so no rich man is willing to move here with his family property." Come!"
"Of course, there is one person who needs to be mentioned in particular here, that is Du Yue'er, the purchasing envoy of the Huangzhou Palace, the original head of the Yang family and the Du family!"
"That's because Governor Du Jun serves in the palace, so she went to Huangzhou with the Du family property she deserved!"
at this time.
Everyone looked at Xia Tian with strange eyes!
Because, after Xia Tian wrote the "Beauty Poem" for Du Yue'er, the story of a prince and a Jiangnan beauty falling in love thousands of miles apart has been spread all over the world!
Moreover, in subsequent legends, Du Yue'er abandoned her identity as the head of the Du family and came to Huangzhou to suffer hardships with her lover for the sake of her lover, King Huangzhou!
Moreover, Peacock, Li Si, and the Mohist giants knew that the new prince wanted to attack Du Yue'er, wanting to rob money and people. As a result, the young holy king in front of them led the hundreds of soldiers in Huangzhou and defeated Du Yue'er. After the Sirius army, he secretly led his army into Yangzhou and beat the new prince so badly that he was speechless!
Looking at their expressions, Xia Tian knew what they were thinking, and did not explain: "If a place wants to be strong and prosperous, it needs knowledge, which not only comes from working experience, but also requires cultural knowledge!"
"Now, those who enter our Deserted State no longer have the status of being untouchables or refugees. However, I don't want their children to remain illiterate, unable to even write their names in the future, and continue to become the lowest class of people in the Deserted State! "
"I know very well that in the future, people with skills and opportunities will be able to succeed in the Huangzhou, and their children will win at the starting line from the moment they are born!"
"As for those who are honest and do not get opportunities, their children will probably lose at the starting line from birth!"
At this time, Peacock, a great educator, couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Your Majesty, what is the starting line?"
"The conditions at home may be good or bad, which will have a great impact on the future development of the child. This is the starting line, it is inevitable!"
Everyone suddenly realized!
Xia Tian continued: "It is because of this concern that I think that no matter what the wilderness will become in the future, all children between the ages of seven and twelve, regardless of gender, must have the right to receive enlightenment education!"
Speaking of this, Xia Tian said firmly: "Because, I want to try my best to create a fair competition opportunity for the children of Huangzhou!"
"No matter what it will be like, I will legislate in the deserted state and make this matter an unchangeable law in the deserted state!"
"It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to cultivate people!"
Peacock's eyes brightened, and he thought: "If we do this, in ten years' time, a new generation will grow up in Huangzhou, and they will all be young people who can read and write, and then the literature in Huangzhou will flourish!"
"The power of the deserted state takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. This is the holy word!"
Peacock's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Isn't this what Confucianism has always wanted to achieve?"
"The prince's foresight and responsibility for the children of the deserted state will make him feel inferior even if the ancient sages are resurrected!"
Suddenly, people from the four major sects looked at Xia Tian, with admiration and respect in their eyes.
Even Ancestor Zongheng, who had always wanted to get angry, had a look of appreciation in his eyes.
Xia Xia smiled and said: "If you want to accomplish this, you need the help of Confucian scholars. Please ask Master Kong for help!"
Peacock said solemnly: "The prince's wish is also the goal of Confucianism. Peacock will issue a Confucian recruitment order to recruit a group of Confucian scholars to Huangzhou to enlighten children!"
Xia Tian praised: "Great kindness!"
"Master Kong and the great Confucian scholar invite you to have tea in the hall!"
"Come here and arrange for all the Confucian disciples to go to school!"
"yes!"
The Confucian workers were taken away!
Peacock and several great scholars walked into the hall!
Seeing that the Confucian work had been assigned, Li Si took the initiative and asked: "Your Majesty, what can I, the Taoist, do?"
Xia Tian has already made arrangements: "Taoists like to search for the truth of heaven and earth, and like to refine elixirs and medicines. These are exactly the talents our Huangzhou factory needs!"
"The job of a Taoist disciple is to enter the factory in Huangzhou and research new products under the leadership of Gu Yue and Gu Feng!"
Speaking of which.
Xia Tian said seriously: "Of course, they only do some basic research, mainly to assist Gu Yue and Gu Feng!"
"good!"
Li Si promised with all his heart, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Gu Yue and Gu Feng, these two traitors!"
If he was not mistaken, the core research produced by the Huangzhou factory was in the hands of these two traitors!
Li San seemed to see through his heart: "Xiaosi, be more generous!"
"In the future, you will know how much benefit Xiaoyue and Xiaofeng will bring to Taoism by serving in Huangzhou Palace!"
Li Si sighed quietly: "Master, you are determined to stay in Huangzhou Palace, right?"
Li San said matter-of-factly: "Yue'er and Feng'er are here, I want to stay here to protect them!"
Li Si is no longer able to complain!
At this time.
Gu Yue and Gu Feng walked out from behind Xia Xia and said respectfully: "Master!"
"Brothers, please come with us!"
In an instant, the Taoists were led away!
At this time.
Ancestor Zongheng was so hungry that he couldn't help but roared: "King Huangzhou, how will our Zongheng school arrange it?"
The corner of Xia Tian's mouth curled up meaningfully: "Guess"
