Chapter nine hundred and eighty seventh talent draft system
Relaxed and happy days are always short-lived. Unknowingly, the New Year is over, which indicates that busy days are coming again. But for Zhao Huan, busyness has been with him throughout the New Year.
It seems that it is still going on, because he still has to send envoys from various countries back.
This time, Li Qi saw him off together.
As envoys from various countries returned to their countries one after another, everything seemed to be back to normal and people started to get busy again.
In order to regain the people's trust in the imperial court, after seeing off the envoys from various countries, Li Qi immediately arranged for the staff of Song Dynasty Times to conduct an exclusive interview with Song Huizong and Cai Jing, and the location was arranged in Longting Garden.
This exclusive interview is mainly focused on the new law. First, it is a summary of the past year, and second, it is the outlook for the future.
This was the first time for Song Huizong and Cai Jingdu to experience such a visit. They were nervous and excited at the same time. They even made a new set of clothes specially for this purpose. Unfortunately, not many people could see it.
Before the visit started, Li Qi took out a piece of paper and handed it to Song Huizong and said: "Your Majesty, these are some reference answers. If you encounter more difficult questions, you can refer to them."
As for the questions that will be asked, Li Qi has already sent them to Song Huizong and Cai Jing the day before yesterday. Cai Jing is quite relieved, but Song Huizong loves to show off too much, and Li Qi is afraid that he will reverse the priorities, so he helps
He prepared a reference answer.
Unexpectedly, Song Huizong waved his hand and said: "I have already made preparations and don't need these."
"Really? Your Majesty is really thoughtful." Seeing that Song Huizong had said this, Li Qi naturally didn't have much to say, so he flattered a few words and stepped aside.
After a while, the exclusive interview finally began. The first was of course Song Huizong.
"As we all know, the emperor is very supportive of this new law, but I don't know what the reason was that moved the emperor."
"Since I came to the throne, I have always governed the world with benevolence..."
Song Huizong started his imperial speech without even thinking about it. He was boasting and talking a lot of nonsense. In fact, it was as if he had not said anything at all. Li Qi on the other side looked drowsy and couldn't listen.
I went down. I thought to myself that if I let him continue talking like this, the page might not be enough. I hurriedly raised my hand to signal the man to stop asking questions, and then walked forward. He frowned and said: "Your Majesty, you can't do this!
"
Song Huizong was getting excited when he was talking, but was interrupted by Li Qi. He felt very unhappy and said confidently: "Why not? I have always said this before, and no one has said anything wrong."
Sweat! You are the emperor, who dares to say that you are wrong! Let you read it. If you have to show off, then show off, but you can't show off the whole article, and let others live! What if?
In this case, you might as well ask the academicians of the Hanlin Academy to help you draft a self-question and answer sheet. Li Qi said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, you have only faced ministers or princes and nobles in the past, and in the last time it was all the top scholars.
Of course, you can start from the overall situation and speak more profoundly, but in this exclusive interview, we will face the common people all over the world, most of whom have never read any books. Your Majesty, what you said is so profound, they may not necessarily
I understand!"
Song Huizong let out an ouch and looked a little embarrassed. He said, "What you said makes sense, so what should I say?"
Li Qidao: "Everything is based on the interests of the people. Let's talk more about people's livelihood. Simply put, it is your emperor's understanding of the new law and what this new law will bring to the people. Otherwise, your emperor, please take a look at this reference answer first.
.”
Song Huizong was quite embarrassed. I thought my answer was perfect, but I didn't know that the first question was rejected by Li Qi. Although he felt that what Li Qi said was reasonable, he
Still didn't want to read it. How could a great artist do such uneducated things? In other words, he didn't care about this reference answer at all. It was so uneducated. However, he couldn't find the key point at once.
After thinking about it, he still agreed, so he asked Cai Jing to go up first. He would refer to this answer and see how Cai Jing answered.
Cai Jing has been preparing for this exclusive interview for a long time, and has discussed it with Li Qi many times. The answers are fluent, because he is very clear about his own advantages and needs. If he blindly talks about new methods, he will be criticized by Li Qi.
Therefore, he took the new law as an entry point, focused on education, and vigorously promoted his Taishi College. From the original intention of the college, to the structure of the college, as well as the philosophy and welfare of the college, he looked like a godfather.
, the whole interview is a very high-quality soft article.
I have to say that this old man's eloquence is really amazing. He speaks one thing after another, which is easy to understand and promotes his college very well.
The interviewer's mood was also aroused by Cai Jing, and he was not as restrained as at the beginning. As they chatted, the two of them seemed to be like a pair of old friends, very harmonious.
Although Cai Jing has asked all the questions, he still has more to say. He feels that these questions are too few and have not been enough. But he does not force it, after all, the boss is still waiting behind him.
During Cai Jing's interview, Song Huizong carefully read the reference answer aside, and then listened to Cai Jing's answer. His heart suddenly enlightened, and he threw the piece of paper aside and returned to the page with confidence.
On the chair.
Sure enough, Song Huizong did not make the same mistake again this time. He answered questions in an orderly manner and knew how to proceed from the vital interests of the people. However, if you listen carefully, you will find that he is still exaggerating his great achievements and feels that all these are my contribution.
It's just that he grasped the details so well that people can't feel it. For Li Qi, this was already satisfying.
After more than half an hour, Song Huizong's visit finally came to an end.
"Li Qi, what do I say?" Song Huizong stepped forward and asked as soon as he came down.
"Your Majesty said it so well, I have nothing to say."
Li Qi gave a thumbs up and was full of praise. Although he was suspected of being a flatterer, he couldn't say that it was all true, because the reference answer he gave to Song Huizong was written by some talented people. I wonder which talented person can write the emperor's charm.
However, although Song Huizong did not follow the reference answer, it is not important. Because he has already expressed his meaning with an imperial tone. When others see it, they feel that this must be the answer from the emperor himself.
Cai Jing was not to be outdone, and Song Huizong took great advantage of him by flattering him.
After the interview, the staff of Song Dynasty Times Weekly sorted things out for a while and left with the manuscript. Li Qi and Cai Jing were left by Song Huizong to have lunch with him.
"Li Qi, this interview is really unique. If you need me to come forward in the future, just ask." Song Huizong said with great interest.
How could he not be so showy? Li Qi deliberately teased Song Huizong and said, "I'm just afraid that the emperor will find the humble minister annoying."
Song Huizong immediately said: "How could I be so unreasonable? This is a good thing. It allows the people to understand my thoughts better and prevents them from being deceived by thieves like Fang Lana."
Sweat! You really blame everything on Fang La, and they are wronged. With the way you did in Jiangnan, even Maqiao can fool the people into rebellion! Li Qi cursed secretly in his heart.
Cai Jing nodded and said: "What the emperor said is true. I believe that the current lack of communication between the monarch and the people, and the lack of mutual trust, is extremely detrimental to the court and should be improved."
"That's what I thought." Song Huizong laughed and suddenly asked: "By the way, I heard that the first batch of students from Aiqing's Taishi Academy have successfully completed their studies. I wonder how they are doing?"
Cai Jing replied: "Thanks to the emperor's concern, I am really flattered. In fact, strictly speaking, this is not the first batch. The real first batch is the students who were funded by businessmen. They have already gone out to make a living. Now
This group of students is fully funded by our Taishi College. Originally, they had completed their studies at the end of last year and even went to Zuixianju and Cuju College to help for a while. However, Lao Chen and Li Qi wanted to have a better future for the college.
development, therefore, the draft system was proposed, which has been postponed to this day.”
Song Huizong snorted and asked with interest: "Draft system? What does this mean?"
Cai Jing was afraid that what he said was unclear, so he turned to Li Qi and said, "Li Qi, it's up to you to speak."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Reporting to the emperor, in fact, this draft system is very simple, it is to use money to buy talents."
Song Huizong asked curiously: "Buying talents with money? This is a strange statement!"
Li Qi smiled and said: "As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold are easy to get, but a general is hard to find, so talents are part of the interests, otherwise Liu Bei would not have paid much attention to the thatched cottage in the first place. In fact, this group of students were originally those who lived on the border of Song and Liao Dynasties.
The children of the Qian family were exiled here only because of the war that destroyed their family, and were later taken in by the Grand Master. These people are older and already have a strong foundation, so they don’t need to start with basic skills. They are taught in the academy
What they learn is all kinds of professional knowledge, such as how to run a restaurant, how to set prices, how to do business, etc. But they learn some high-level things, not bartenders or craftsmen, just like
Our Zuixianju Xiaoyu is like that."
When he mentioned Xiaoyu, Song Huizong understood and nodded lightly.
Li Qi continued: "Now the economic construction has entered the second stage, and the economy has begun to gradually recover. Regarding the issue of labor, I have already said before that our labor in the Song Dynasty is now at its cheapest, which also promotes economic recovery.
The decisive factor is that these laborers belong to the lowest level, who may not even know a single big character. There are not many in the middle level, but there are also quite a few. The most lacking is high-level talents, because this part of the talents all yearn to join the court.
When they become officials, get the first prize, and serve the country, they will not think about doing business or doing things for others. Therefore, Taishi Academy focuses on gathering those people with good basic skills together to train them to become high-level business talents.
.
But, then again, since it is business, it cannot be done as charity. The talents that the grand master has spent money and effort to cultivate, those businessmen cannot take away with just a word. This violates the law.
In addition to business principles, something must be left behind. This is fair, so the Grand Master and I came up with this draft system. We will first invite the major wealthy businessmen in the capital to select talents. If you have chosen someone, and are sure
If you want to come down, you must first pay a sum of money to Taishi Academy. As for the price, it is determined according to each person's talent. It is not a general rule. The price for those who are more versatile will be higher, and the price for those who are more mediocre will naturally be lower.
"
Song Huizong nodded and said: "I understand, you are treating talents as goods to buy and sell. The good ones will be more expensive, and the bad ones will be cheaper."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "That's not the case. It's the sale of goods. The one with the highest price gets it, and it's permanent. In our draft system, students have partial rights of choice. They can choose based on the conditions given to them by each merchant, as well as the other party's conditions.
If you make certain choices according to the situation, we will also give you professional advice. Of course, in order to balance the distribution of talents, our opinions are still the main one. Moreover, we only offer eight-year contracts, which means that even if you
Once you select a talent and get him, he may only help you manage your business for six years. After eight years, whether he goes or stays is entirely up to him."
"Eight-year contract." Song Huizong chuckled: "This idea is really novel, not bad, not bad."
As everyone knows, there is no way Li Qi can do this, because not everyone can study now, but Li Qi understands the importance of universal education. In order to allow more people to study, Li Qi can only think
Try your best to find those wealthy businessmen to pay the tuition for these students. Of course, if any student fails to live up to expectations and does not learn well, it will be considered a loss. Therefore, this is actually not completely a good deed, but a good deed.
The deal is done.
Cai Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, we are doing this just to ensure the interests of the students. Since this is only the first time, the old minister will still give a lot of convenience to those businessmen. In the future, we will give some annual donations to Taishi College
Wealthy businessmen have some priority, such as Taiwei and Hongwan Gambling House, so they can get the talents they want first."
Li Qidao: "Actually, it's just the beginning. Real all-round talents will appear in six to ten years. This group is the generation that our Taishi Academy has trained since childhood. Judging from the current situation, they will definitely
They are qualified to be called the golden generation. When they come out, I am confident that they will attract tens of thousands of people to compete for them."
When Cai Jing and Li Qi talked about this draft system, their eyes shone with excitement. It was not difficult to see that they both agreed with this novel system and were full of confidence.
Especially Li Qi, he felt that the talent draft system could promote the education industry in the Song Dynasty. The current education industry is almost a lose-lose situation. If your son wants to go to school, first of all, you must have a good background and teach
You can't afford the tuition, otherwise you won't be able to learn knowledge. As for the schools, they also have to rely on subsidies from the court. Especially in Taiyuan College, the teachers there all have high salaries, and they are all established and have
For high-ranking people, the court had to put money into it almost every year.
But this new system is different. I carve out the rough jade, but if you want it, you have to pay a high price to buy it. Everyone has their own needs. One talent can meet the needs of both buyers and sellers.
Taishi College can also develop well.
When Cai Jing heard Li Qi's idea, he immediately applauded and immediately agreed. He wanted to support so many colleges by himself. If he could only get out but not get in, sooner or later they would collapse.
Song Huizong was also very interested in this, but he felt that Li Qi was exaggerating, so he said: "Golden Generation? My Imperial College does not dare to call it this name. It is not as good as what you said, right?"
"How dare a humble minister talk nonsense in front of the emperor?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said confidently: "The teaching methods of other colleges are all mixed and impure. If one person can learn it and be proficient in everything, he must be the number one scholar. How many number one talents are there in the world?
Talented people, what should they do if they fail to gain fame? Taishi College just makes up for this shortcoming. Wei Chen also introduced it to the emperor before. The teaching system of Taishi College can be said to be unique. After completing basic homework,
After that, everyone will start to decide what major they should study based on their talents and preferences. Moreover, this selection process is very detailed and requires many layers of testing before a decision can be made. After all, it is related to the student's life. So it will never be
After completing their studies and leaving the academy, they are confused about whether they are good or bad, and don’t know what to do. It can be said that their future has been decided in the academy. In this way, they save a lot of useless work. Although they are not as good as the number one scholar
, but each of them has a professional skill, so that they can at least make a living. If they are talented, it is even more amazing."
Song Huizong nodded and said: "Well, what you said makes sense. Some people are not good at reading, but they may have unparalleled talents in other areas, just like you. Although your talents are worrying, but your cooking
But his art is unparalleled."
This---what does it mean to worry about talent and learning? I graduated from the 211 School! Although I am not the number one scholar, I can still serve as a wedding banquet in future generations. Li Qi said depressedly: "Your Majesty, are these words a bit offensive to me?
It’s not fair!”
Song Huizong smiled and said: "Why is it unfair? Look at what your handwriting looks like. Don't think I didn't pay attention. Every time you submit a memorial, it is written by Qin Hui. It belongs to you in both the government and the public.
The handwriting is the worst."
"this---!"
Li Qi was speechless. His calligraphy was really his fault. His handwriting was not even as good as Gao Yanei's. What else could he say?
Cai Jing chuckled and said, "It's time to practice your handwriting. If you are interested, I can give you some pointers."
Song Huizong immediately said: "Li Qi, Yuan Chang's character is hard to find, and I love him very much. Since he is willing to teach you, you have to study hard!"
I'm so busy with everything right now, how can I have time to practice calligraphy? You think I am you! But I can't say this. Li Qi chuckled and said: "Thank you for your generous help, Grand Master. Li Qi is very grateful.
Then there is Taishi Lao."
Looking at his face, Cai Jing knew that this was just his prevarication, and he didn't expect him to practice calligraphy seriously, so he just nodded. He didn't say much. For something that was impossible to happen, no matter how much he said, it would be in vain.
Rotten wood cannot be carved!
Song Huizong asked again: "When will your talent show start? I must go and take a look then."
Cai Jing said: "Reporting to the emperor, the date is set for February 15th."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, actually this is nothing. Recently, Wei Chen and the Grand Master are discussing the opening of a special academy."
"Is there anything more special than Taishi Academy?" Song Huizong asked in surprise.
Cai Jing's eyes lit up and he said cheerfully: "This idea was also proposed by Li Qi. The old minister thinks it is very feasible. We just want to open a genius academy."
"Genius Academy?"
This name is a blast! Song Huizong's eyes flashed and he said, "Tell me quickly what's going on with this genius academy."
Li Qi replied: "Your Majesty, every year in the scientific examination, there is only one champion. This does not mean that the other candidates do not work as hard as him. It means that success requires a little talent. With the same effort, talent will determine whether you can succeed.
Standing at a higher level, Cao Chong composed a poem in seven steps, Cao Chong used a boat to weigh an elephant, Sima Xianxiang smashed a vat to save people, and the creator of the thin gold body, you, the emperor, are all fully proven.
There are geniuses in this world, but you must make good use of the talent given to you by God and not waste it. However, some people waste their talent in vain because of poor family conditions. This is not only a pity. So
, we plan to send a group of people to all parts of the country to look for gifted children. We will develop a set of special test questions. Those who pass all the exams can enter the gifted academy, and they will also be given bonuses. We will give these geniuses
Centralize them, start training them from an early age, focus on developing their talents, and train them to become the pillars of the country and become the number one scholar other than the number one scholar."
Song Huizong took a small breath and agreed very much with Li Qi's statement. After all, Li Qi listed him among the ranks of geniuses. At the same time, he was filled with greed in his heart. He pondered for a moment and said to Cai Jing: "Ai Qing, now I am the Great Song Dynasty."
You have your Taishi Academy almost everywhere. If you start another genius academy, I'm afraid you will be unable to do it!"
Cai Jing was stunned when he heard this and said: "What does the emperor mean?"
Song Huizong chuckled and said: "Well, let me do this for you. I will personally manage this genius college. The students who come out of the genius college are all disciples of the emperor. How appropriate!"
Cai Jingdu is stupid. You are already a college student, and you still come to snatch me from someone who is about to be buried. You don’t want to bully someone like this! He couldn’t help but look at Li Qi.
Look at what I am doing. He is the emperor. How dare you refuse to give him what he wants! Li Qi did not expect that Song Huizong was so greedy. With a thought in his mind, he said: "Your Majesty, it is up to you to come forward. There is something wrong with this."
inappropriate."
Song Huizong frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Li Qidao: "All geniuses are very proud. If they are crowned as a disciple of the Emperor, this great honor will cause their vanity to inflate and become complacent. By then, Wei Chen is afraid that the person who comes out of the Genius Academy will not be a genius, but Zhongyong."
.”
Cai Jing was secretly happy when he heard this. This guy had a solution.
However, Song Huizong was not very happy when he heard this and frowned silently.
After seeing this, Li Qi said again: "Your Majesty, otherwise, you don't come forward as the Emperor and become the founder behind the scenes, with the Grand Master and Wei Chen assisting you in managing the Genius Academy."
When Song Huizong heard this, he felt that this was quite good. If he appeared as the emperor, it would be a bit boring and he would not be able to fully enjoy the joy of being a teacher. Moreover, he usually did not have time to manage. Hehehe said: "Okay, okay, this idea
Okay, so be it."
PS: This chapter is really difficult to separate, so I posted it together and it will be gone at night. It’s the end of the month, so I must ask for a monthly ticket.
