Wang Lang frowned. Looking at his expression, you could tell that he must be extremely angry. Hua Xin was standing behind him, with a fairly calm expression. But from his indifferent expression, you could tell that there was a strong relationship between the two of them.
There must have been some conflict. Liu Xi narrowed his eyes, stood up with a smile, and said: "The two beloved ladies are here, hahaha, great, I just have something to tell you!"
Hearing the emperor's words, Wang Lang hurriedly put back the words he couldn't help but say, looked at the emperor with respect, and bowed: "I wonder what your majesty's orders are?"
Liu Xi smiled and said: "I heard that just this year, all the states and counties in the Han Dynasty have official schools. I don't know if this is true or not?"
When Wang Lang heard this, he immediately raised his head high. The old man couldn't hide the smile on his face. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is true. From this year on, all the counties in the Han Dynasty will have their own
Official school! Children all over the world can go to school! It’s all because of your majesty’s benevolence. Your majesty’s achievements are unprecedented. From ancient times to the present, there has never been any emperor who can teach the way of saints to
The world!! Your Majesty is the first one!!"
"Your Majesty's merits and virtues, just in terms of official scholarship, are already incomparable to those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He has civilized the world and educated all peoples. Who can compare to me, the Emperor of Han Dynasty!!! Your Majesty! Wise!! Your Majesty!! Long live!!",
The old man's face turned red with excitement. As the most staunch Confucian master, his inner ambition was probably to educate the emperor and spread Confucianism like a saint.
And he was in charge of official schools, established official schools across the country, and enabled thousands of children to enter school. With such merit, after his death, he would definitely be able to add the character "zi" to his surname. For a great Confucian scholar, what an honor it was to be able to
What a blessing it was for me to meet such a wise emperor. Thinking of this, the excited old man shed tears and wiped his tears.
Liu Xi was startled by him and said quickly: "The prince is too praised, too praised, don't get excited, don't do this." He was really afraid that the old man would die like this. At first, when Sun Quan recommended this person to him,
He still had some doubts in his heart, because this old man seemed no different from other Confucianists. He studied Confucianism all day long and was obsessed with it.
But after putting him in the official position, he saw the real power of this old man. In the Han Dynasty, he may not be the best one in treating classics, but he is definitely the one who is most obsessed with it.
After the mentally retarded official school, this old man really devoted himself to his students, building official schools everywhere, and was so busy that he didn't even live in his own mansion a few times.
With his efforts, the various systems of the official school became more and more perfect, and the number of boys who came to study continued to increase. The number of Taixue students reached 8,000, and the number of disciples reached 20,000. The Southern School and the Northern School also had five
There are more than a thousand students, these are all candidates for officials who are qualified to participate in the assessment. The big man suddenly has a reserve army of up to 40,000 officials. Thinking of this, Liu Xi can laugh out of his dreams.
At the same time, in local government schools, the number of children enrolled in schools has reached hundreds of thousands or nearly one million. What an amazing achievement this is!
From Emperor Xiaohuan, one of the most literate people in the world, to the sound of reading everywhere today, Liu Xi has completely changed the Han Dynasty. When these children grow up, they can see that a new, powerful Han Dynasty will
Look down at the world and pin all enemies to the ground!
While the two were chatting, Hua Xin from behind said abruptly: "There are official schools in the county, but they have not been spread to the counties. Many remote counties still do not have official schools. Children who are interested in studying cannot enroll in school. The prince was very excited. It’s a little early…”
Liu Xi was stunned and nodded. Indeed, all counties have official schools, which is different from all counties. If you want to achieve the step Hua Xin said, it will take more than ten people. Just a few years.
Unexpectedly, when Wang Lang heard this sentence, he immediately became furious. He turned around, stared at Hua Xin fiercely, and shouted angrily: "It's not because of traitors like you that everything goes so wrong!" What?!" Hua Xin glanced at him helplessly without saying anything, with some disdain on his face. When Wang Lang saw this disdain, he became even more angry. He rushed over and grabbed Hua Xin's clothes, that is, his neck. The area around it.
"Come on! Say what you said again in front of His Majesty!"
"Let me go!! Don't think that because you are older than me, I won't hit you!"
"Haha, okay, let's go outside and have a nice chat!"
Seeing the two people pushing each other to leave the Houde Hall, Liu Xi jumped up in shock and walked to the two of them. Both of them were not young. Wang Lang's hair and beard were all white, and he looked seven or eight years old. At ten years old, Hua Xin was not as senior as him, but he was probably over sixty. If these two were going to fight, something would definitely happen to one of them, and Liu Xi didn't want them to see Huang Long early.
"Wait a minute, you two...don't make a move...don't make a move. What happened??"
Liu Xi quickly separated the two people, and then asked, he had to know what the two veterans were arguing about. Wang Lang looked at Hua Xin in front of him angrily, and said: "Your Majesty, do you have any questions?" What I don’t know is that this guy has repeatedly petitioned to increase the admission fee for higher education institutions such as Taixue, and Taixue even wants to increase the admission fee to 10,000 yuan a year! Even the lower-level official schools have to charge fees!"
"Your Majesty, we set up official schools to educate the world and allow more people to enroll. People don't really want their children to go to official schools. At this time, how can we increase the so-called tuition fees and force students to withdraw from schools? What about so many students? Isn’t this inconsistent with our schooling? What’s more, there are so many poor people in the world, how can they afford to pay this fee?”
Hearing Wang Lang's words, the emperor immediately understood that the two people would quarrel like this. Wang Lang was a staunch promoter of school admissions. It was natural for him to be so angry when he was told these things. He frowned and looked at Hua Xin. He asked displeasedly: "Does Mr. Hua think that only the sons of powerful families should enter the academy, and the rest are not worthy?"
After hearing this, Hua Xin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, that's not what I mean. What I mean is to establish more institutions of higher learning. For official schools, the fees will also be appropriately increased. Of course, there will be some benefits for the poor people. Jimin Station... Jimin Station can help bear some of the burden, but institutions of higher learning don't have to bear it...'
"Then why do you do this?" Liu Xi asked again.
"Your Majesty, there are more and more official schools, and more and more children are enrolling in schools. The state treasury has paid 40% of the money for official schools now, which has exceeded the support for the North and South armies. If this continues, in another twenty years In the year, will the Han treasury have to raise all the children in the world? Can the treasury bear the burden? Does the temple have the spare capacity to do other things? "
"What's more, Your Majesty, the purpose of official education is to make the people literate and manage them more conveniently. Institutions of higher learning are for assessment and for themselves. Why do temples need to support this? Of course, if it is true,
There are poor students, and the temple should support them and cultivate talents, which is what they should do, but what about the others? In order to study, if you are not willing to pay any money...where is the desire to study? "
"Such people cannot become talented... The Han Temple should allow everyone in the world to have the opportunity to study, but this institution of higher learning is related to their own future. This is a private matter, and they should fight for it themselves!"
"Asshole! The official school was established to promote the path of sainthood! It's not as sinister as you said!" Wang Lang couldn't help but roared angrily.
Liu Xi was stunned. Hearing Hua Xin's words, he felt a little hesitant in his heart.
While the two were arguing, Qi Yue suddenly walked in, bowed to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty! Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang want to see you!" Liu Xi's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Let them in!"
It didn't take long for the two of them to appear in the Houde Hall. Seeing the two people arguing endlessly in the Houde Hall, they were a little shocked. They paid homage to the emperor. Liu Xi did not ask about their purpose, but cleared his throat.
, said: "These are the princes and Dukes of Guanxue. You must know each other. There is something wrong with these two people. I am not sure to pay attention here. It is clear to onlookers. You two can help them."
Hearing the emperor's words, Wang Lang suddenly felt bad. He was here to impeach Hua Xin, not to argue with him about who was right and who was wrong. What the emperor meant was that he also felt that Hua Xin, the thief, had a point.
?
He was about to refuse, but Hua Xin on the side was unambiguous. He immediately looked at Xun Yu and said what he was thinking, "That's it, I think there should be fees, and higher education institutions charge higher fees, and official schools also charge higher fees."
It should be improved. Anyway, even if you can't make a profit, you can't suffer too much loss, especially Taixue. Taixue is full of people from aristocratic families, are they going to be short of money?"
"But the prince just doesn't agree. He feels that my memorial is hindering the development of official education... Both of them are pillars of the Han Dynasty. What do you think?"
Hearing Hua Xin's inquiry, Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang immediately began to think. Logically speaking, they should both support Wang Lang's statement. However, if they think about it carefully, it seems that Hua Xin's statement is even more reasonable. If this continues, it will be very difficult for them to do so.
Years from now, millions of young children will be enrolled in school. How will the national treasury support it? Even if the avenue of schooling is promoted, it cannot be sacrificed at the expense of the entire Han Dynasty.
Zhuge Liang suddenly said: "Hua Gong, what you said makes sense. I have never thought about this before. Only when I heard Hua Gong's words today did I realize how stupid I am!", he said, and moved toward Hua Xinxing.
A gift.
Suddenly, Wang Lang became furious.
"What nonsense are you talking about here, you little brat?!"
"Huh? The prince is scolding me?"
"Haha, young people are ignorant. Whoever is the youngest will naturally be scolded by me!" Wang Lang said with a sneer.
Zhuge Liang laughed and looked at Liu Xi who was standing aside.
Wang Lang was stunned, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! I am definitely not talking about you! I am talking about Zhuge Liang! I am!!" Seeing the old man in such a hurry, Liu Xi waved his hand generously.
He waved his hand and said: "I know, the prince does not have to be like this."
Wang Lang apologized again and again, then slowly looked at Zhuge Liang, squinted his eyes, and looked at him seriously. Now, he no longer dared to underestimate the young man in front of him, but regarded him as his opponent, regardless of
No matter what, we can't let these traitors convince the emperor that the way of saints should be spread throughout the world!!!
