"We are setting up a college at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, in the name of the government," Li Xingchen sat in the hall and talked eloquently. "Our main purpose is to recruit some children from poor families and cultivate talents for future administration."
Sitting on Li Xinchen's left and right are Gu Yewang, Lu Zhongsu and Gu Jue. These three people have now taken on the task of following Li Xinchen and continuing to march into the south of the Yangtze River. The line from Xinzhou to Jingzhou has been handed over to Tang Zhengliang and Luo Ya. This is mainly because
When Li Xingchen considered continuing to go to Jiangnan, he still had to be accompanied by someone who was familiar with Jiangnan affairs.
Although Li Xingchen has urgently mobilized Yao Cha to come to Xiangzhou, this journey will not take a moment after all, so now this matter must be discussed with these people first.
"Academy" Gu Yewang nodded slightly. Of course he knew about the academy Li Xingchen built in Chengdu through Xu Ling and Yao Cha. Gu Yewang was even invited by Yao Cha to give a few lectures. Li Xingchen was undoubtedly using this method to balance
The disadvantages brought about by the nine-level Zhongzheng system.
After all, if we continue to develop according to the nine-level Zhongzheng system, the family will rise again, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms will never happen again. So Li Xinchen did this to obtain more truly capable talents, but obviously Li Xinchen still has
A slight leeway was left, and the scope of enrollment was limited to those from poor families and above.
In fact, this does not mean that Li Xingchen looked down on the people in Guizhou. The main reason was that after more than three hundred years of war, the cultural level of the poor people was just like that. When it comes to the people below, they really can't read a single Chinese character.
Before taking Jiangnan, Li Xingchen had no way to carry out literacy education. Therefore, the purpose of building Yuelu Academy should be the same as that of Chengdu Academy, which was to train some outstanding and well-founded children from poor families to serve the imperial court. To a certain extent,
to solve the problem of the imperial court’s over-reliance on aristocratic families.
Li Xingchen also knew that at least at this stage, if he wanted to dominate the world, he still could not do without the support of the aristocratic family. Therefore, he did not intend to completely eradicate the aristocratic family, but used this method to divide a part of it first. Whether it is step by step or boiling the frog in warm water, both
It must be able to cultivate qualified talents without causing excessive counterattacks from aristocratic families.
"I think what His Highness said is feasible." King Gu Ye saw that Lu Zhongsu and others were a little confused and hurriedly came to a conclusion on the matter. "As long as we discuss it with Chengdu College, it is not difficult to build this academy."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly. Since Yuelu Academy was to be built, it would be built. Naturally, the support from Chengdu College was needed. Moreover, Li Xingchen had already thought about it. Of course, this academy could not just teach the Four Books and Five Classics like the academies of later generations. He also had to cooperate with Ouyang
Mo, Wu Ping and other craftsmen discussed setting up engineering courses in the academy.
After all, the importance of engineering has been reflected by Li Xinchen's attention. Even if the Xiajiang Tang family and others are willing to cooperate with the work, Li Xinchen would not mind opening an arithmetic course. You must know that this era also has a certain arithmetic foundation, such as calculation
Zu Chongzhi, who came up with pi, was from the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Of course, these are just Li Xinchen's general plans. As for the scale of the college, enrollment methods, etc., Gu Yewang and others need to discuss and submit a detailed plan to Li Xinchen.
However, it is obvious that Gu Yewang and others are quite interested in this matter. For a civil servant or even a literati, planning an academy that is much larger than a private school is certainly something that can go down in history. It is not too late for others to envy you.
At this moment, Li Ping rushed in quickly and said anxiously: "Your Highness, there is an urgent report from Jiankang Mansion!"
Several people in the lobby were stunned for a moment, a little surprised. Li Xingchen stretched out his hand to take it, opened it three times, five divided by two, and just glanced at it, his expression changed, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and handed it to Gu Yewang.
"What?!" Gu Yewang exclaimed.
Soon the same look appeared on the faces of Lu Zhongsu and Gu Jue.
Chen Shuling rebelled in Jiankang Mansion, and Chen Shujian died. Chen Shuling's rebellion was defeated by Jiang Yuanxun. Chen Shuling and Chen Bogu committed suicide in the palace. Chen Shubao ordered the East Palace to appease Jiankang Mansion and killed all Chen Shuling's followers and heirs.
Almost on the same day, Guangling City, which already knew the situation in Jiankang Prefecture, surrendered to Wu Huijue. Wu Huijue's army had occupied the entire Huainan.
Such news obviously shocked Gu Yewang and others. They never thought that Chen Shuling, who was obviously below one person and above ten thousand people, would risk launching a rebellion at this time, even in Chen Shuling's position.
In front of Xu’s soul!
This obviously made King Gu Ye and others have to think about what kind of dynasty they once served, and they were even more shocked by Li Xinchen's luck. After all, Li Xinchen has begun to win over the people of Jiangnan and is preparing for the next direct attack.
Jiangnan is making preparations, especially since Jiangling City has fallen into Li Xinchen's hands. Now Li Xinchen has to consider whether there will be so many officials available to directly take over Jiangnan.
As a result, who would have thought that the situation would reach this point, and that the Nanchen court would be in civil strife and even fight against each other!
However, Li Xingchen was not surprised by this. He could only lament the weight of the wheel of history.
Historically, Chen Shuling chased Chen Shubao in front of Chen Xu's soul, but was stopped by Chen Shujian, Queen Mother Liu Jingyan and others. After finally escaping from the palace, he wanted to win over Xiao Mohe. Who knew that Xiao Mohe directly raised troops to pursue him, and his fierce generals
Chen Zhishen killed Chen Shuling.
Now Chen Xu has passed away a few years earlier than in history, and Xiao Mohe, Chen Zhishen and other parties involved are no longer in Jiankang Mansion, and are not even in Nan Chen's camp. In the end, who would have thought that all this would happen after all, but the killing
The person who killed Chen Shuling was replaced by veteran Jiang Yuanxun, but this made no difference.
However, the biggest difference from history is obviously that Chen Shujian died. In the final analysis, it was because there was only one Jiang Yuanxun in charge of the capital, and it was impossible to control all the armies in an all-round way. Therefore, when Chen Shuling raised his army, he did not just rely on his followers and dead soldiers, so Chen Shujian
Death is not incomprehensible.
As for why Chen Shuling gave up the position of regent he had already obtained and wanted to kill Chen Shubao to become emperor, in Li Xingchen's view, this was nothing unusual.
Chen Shuling was not a good person to begin with. When he was the governor of Xiangzhou, he used to go out day and night and bully men and women. The whole Xiangzhou was in trouble. Chen Xu had no choice but to transfer him back to Jiankang Prefecture.
, it was left to Chen Shujian to clean up the situation. In Jiankang Mansion, Chen Shuling was still dishonest. After the death of his biological mother, the noble Peng, Chen Shuling asked to personally select a tomb for his mother. After picking and choosing, he even dug up Xie An's tomb.
, and then placed his mother's coffin into Xie An's tomb.
Although Chen Xu didn't do anything to Chen Shuling for Peng's sake, he still kicked him to Guangling. (To be continued)
