"How is Lu Zandu doing lately?" Zhao Xin was sitting on the cave, and finally remembered Lu Gong's work that he had not asked about for several days, so he asked Gan Zhaoji who was next to him. "Reporting to the Duke, Zandu has been very happy these days. I went to bed at midnight and got up at the third watch. Even yesterday, I was in the right hall preparing lessons and question papers..." Gan Zhaoji immediately answered very happily.
Can he be unhappy?
I thought that when the Prime Minister's beloved son came to Chunfang, most of his and Liu Yongnian's power would inevitably be divided.
Unexpectedly, the Duke only asked him to go to the right hall, and all the energy of the son of the prime minister, who came with the mission of officials and courtiers, was contained in the right hall.
This is simply gratifying!
Zhao Xin was also very happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It seems that Lu Zan Du Guo has the ambition to serve as prime minister!"
Education was a brand new way to become an official in the Song Dynasty.
A brand new track!
It was developed by Fan Zhongyan and Fan Xiwen who are now in Shaanxi.
At that time, Fan Zhongyan was appointed as the supervisor of Yancang in Xixi, Taizhou. He wrote to Zhang Lun, the then deputy envoy of Jianghuai transfer, and advocated the reconstruction of Yanhaiyan, so he was appreciated and recommended by Zhang Lun. In the third year of Tiansheng, Fan Zhongyan was transferred to the capital and became a magistrate. Xinghua County.
Up to this point, Fan Zhongyan's path was still the path taken by the civil servants of the Song Dynasty in the past.
Nothing more than political achievements speak for themselves, talents pave the way, noble people help, and official career will be prosperous.
But in the fifth year of Tiansheng's reign, when Fan Zhongyan lost his mother and Ding You returned to his hometown to guard the system, he found a brand new track of education.
From then on, he immediately left behind all his peers, including fellow Jinshi scholars.
In just one year, this Jinshi who was only ranked 97th in the second section of Cai Qi's list and almost fell to Sun Shan became famous all over the world.
Xian Ming was well-known even in Bianjing, and he became the leader of the world's literary circles.
Therefore, he wrote tens of thousands of words in succession, urging the then Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu to return the throne to the Emperor.
So, in the second year of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Dowager Liu died, and Fan Zhongyan was immediately rewarded and summoned to the capital, where he was appointed as a right-hand admonishment official and known as the Admonition Court!
He suddenly became a new member of the ruling group of the Song Dynasty and ranked among the ministers of the two systems.
From the fifth year of Tiansheng to the second year of Mingdao, in just seven years, a candidate like Fan Zhongyan, who was from a humble family but was a Jinshi in the second branch, climbed from the bottom to the top.
He directly broke through several ceilings of the Song Dynasty system, and now he has the vague appearance of a minister and assistant, and will become one of the top few ministers in this country.
Smart people will of course learn and imitate.
Especially today, this track not only lacks competition, but is also a fertile ground. If you can achieve just a few results, you will be able to stand out from the crowd.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Lu Gongzhu attaches great importance to it and devotes all his efforts to it.
"Interesting..." Zhao Xin laughed inwardly: "With the Lu family's help in promoting it, my experimental model will probably be quickly spread across the country and all over the world..."
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but squint her eyes, full of bad taste.
In Zhao Xin's opinion, the matter in the right hall was just an experiment.
The purpose of the experiment is two-fold. First, to verify the feasibility of the question-filled tactic from later generations and cramming education in contemporary times.
The results are self-evident.
Facts have shown that this model, which can produce millions or even tens of millions of bachelors every year in later generations, is indeed extremely advanced and has all kinds of magic. When used in the contemporary era, it can turn decay into magic!
The only drawback is probably that it costs too much money.
Except for the big landowners, I am afraid that ordinary citizens and small business families simply cannot afford it.
Not to mention, the paper and copy fees for several exercise books every day are enough for most people to drink a pot.
The second purpose of this experiment was that Zhao Xin wanted to verify whether the movie "The Wave" he watched in later generations was really effective?
Facts show that it does work.
Collectivism and leadership effects, no matter in that era, can smooth out individual personality and edges and artificially instill ideological consciousness.
What's more, Zhao Xin also introduced the kindness of Yang Mingshou, Dean Wu and others.
It is a pity that some stubborn elements cannot be corrected without electrotherapy.
However, in Zhao Xin's eyes, these can only be experiments.
Even if all verifications are successful, they are nothing more than secondary and spare tires.
He just started, and no longer invested his energy there.
Because he knows that no matter how successful and outstanding the right hall's affairs are, in the end I am afraid that he will be nothing more than a replica of the Russian Decembrists, or a repeat of his previous failures.
Top-down reform has been proven to be a dead end.
It is a dream to rely on a small group of social elites and progressive elements to change a country with a large population and a vast territory like the Song Dynasty!
Only small countries like Japan, Chile, and the United Kingdom may be able to achieve some results.
He picked up a small brush specially made for himself, and with the help of Gan Zhaoji, he lay on a desk on his bed, holding the small brush, and tried his best to write down what he was thinking on the paper.
Text.
“Social relationships determine social consciousness!”
"Productivity determines production relations!"
"Upper decision decided by the economic background!"
These are three sentences that he once ignored, but were recalled by him in his previous life and regarded as treasures.
He knew that if he wanted to succeed in this life, he must strictly implement the spirit of these three sentences.
The first thing to do is to change social relations!
Guide and transform the society dominated by landlords and tenant farmers that has lasted for thousands of years.
As a result, social relations changed, and the ideology of Song Dynasty society would also change accordingly.
Looking at the words on the paper, Zhao Xin fell into deep thought.
“Where to start?”
He knew that the answer was beside him, in the city beneath his feet!
Today, Bianjing has a permanent population of nearly one million.
These millions of people, excluding officials and the army, there are at least 3.5 million people who are separated from agriculture and cultivated land, and rely on handicrafts, commerce and service industries to make a living.
In the Song Dynasty, there were also many people who relied on handicrafts, commerce and service industries to make a living.
A conservative estimate is that there are at least millions of people.
This is a huge potential power, but it has been sleeping without anyone touching it.
Zhao Xin had tried to utilize and awaken this power in his previous life.
However, his actions were too reckless, lacked caution, and were too naive and childish. He actually wanted to avoid offending both sides and also wanted to develop industry and commerce while protecting farmers.
As a result, both sides were unhappy, and both sides were full of resentment.
The conservative scholar-bureaucrats and civil servants took the opportunity to counterattack, and finally turned most of his reform achievements into nothingness and reduced them to empty documents.
so……
Zhao Xin knew that he should be more cautious in this life.
"At my current age, I don't have the ability to do those things..." he thought.
But there was one thing he could do now.
He raised his head, looked at Gan Zhaoji, and ordered: "Zhao Tianzhang Pavilion's minister, Gao Ruona, the minister of power and punishment, Wai Lang, the official of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Wen, the judge of the third department of construction, come to the palace to see me!"
A few days ago, Zhao Xin just ordered these two people to do something.
Now, Zhao Xin feels that there should be some clues.
