The emperor in front of him, who conquered the country on horseback, seemed to attach great importance to the spread of culture and education.
"Gong Yan, you can rely on warriors to conquer the world, but you cannot rely on warriors to govern the country," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "I am leading a group of warriors to conquer the country outside, but if we want to have enough peace and stability in the country, we must have it."
We need talents who really understand how to govern the country. Such talents are hard to find now, so I can only ask Mr. Yan to train them for me."
Yan Zhiyi nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will die as soon as possible!"
"That's not possible," Li Xingchen's smile became even brighter, "Yan Gong is very knowledgeable. If something goes wrong with this academy, we can build another one. If we can't train talents for a long time, we can train them again. But Yan Gong is so full of knowledge that we can't just do it easily."
Ashes to dust, dust to dust. Mr. Yan must take care of himself, there is still a long way to go."
"Your Majesty!" Yan Zhiyi was moved and saluted again.
"However, this academy was not built as a decoration or to breed worms for the imperial court," Li Xingchen changed his subject, his voice already carrying a bit of sternness, "There are a few points that I must emphasize clearly."
Yan Zhiyi suddenly looked solemn: "Your Majesty, please speak."
"First of all, what I need are talents who can govern the country, not people who only know how to read the Four Books and Five Classics," Li Xingchen said calmly, "What the sage said is not wrong, but if we, the descendants, only know how to hang the sage's words every day,
Talking about it but not putting it into practice is useless."
Yan Zhiyi frowned, but what Li Xingchen said was correct.
"I think the teaching method of Chengdu Academy is very suitable," Li Xingchen said immediately, "Mr. Xiaomu taught war in the military camp and farming in the farmland. Only by being there and knowing the hardships of the battlefield and the hard work of farming can
Only then can you know how you should be considerate of the people if you become a parent official in the future. The words of a saint are good words and practices only if they are used at critical times and in the right position."
"Wei Chen understands," Yan Zhiyi said solemnly, "students from my Yuelu Academy must at least recognize Shumai!"
Li Xingchen looked at the colleges that were still extending up the mountain and sighed in his heart. These colleges will be the basis for him to implement the imperial examination system in the future. When the talents trained can no longer serve the court through aristocratic families, aristocratic families will no longer be able to influence
Even threatened the imperial court.
As time goes by, the significance of the aristocratic family's existence will naturally become less and less.
As for what he emphasized to Yan Zhiyi just now, Li Xingchen was actually worried that students from famous Confucian professors like Yan Zhiyi would only know "what is wrong". Naturally, it would not be much useful for the imperial court to have such people. The only way is to let them know what an official should do.
What you do and what responsibilities you should bear can be called qualified.
Now I am just "planting trees". Whether it is Chengdu Academy or Yuelu Academy, these small saplings will surely grow into towering trees that support the entire talent training and education system of the Han Dynasty. What I should do next is to wait for these
After the trees mature a little, they begin to "connect the dots to form lines" and then "connect the lines to form surfaces."
However, Li Xingchen actually didn't know how long it would take. He could only say that everything should be done slowly. If it is done too hastily, it may not necessarily be a good thing. After all, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty in history was because of many things.
If you act too hastily, it will be counterproductive.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from the northwest!" Li Ping walked over quickly.
Yan Zhiyi resigned from the college official Mr. Li with a wink, while Li Xingchen glanced at it briefly and handed it to Yang Su beside him: "Secretary Hou, this kid is really bold."
Yang Su was startled for a moment, but His Majesty didn't seem to be angry. After looking at the memorial again, he couldn't help but smile: "Now it seems that the northwest is really going to be a mess."
"Does Secretary Hou think he is Li Yunlong..." Li Xingchen muttered, then raised his voice, "Since we are going to make a fuss, let's make a good fuss."
Yang Su said helplessly: "This was originally supposed to be the home ground of the Turks, but now it's better that we and the Zhou people are starting to scheming again."
"At least the Turks are not on the stage yet." Li Xingchen said lightly. He was not surprised by this result. After all, those who conquer the Central Plains are the real masters of the world. No matter what the Turks say, to people of this era, they are just
Northern nomads.
I just don’t know how Yang Jian will react to such a change?
Will the Yu family...will fall to Li Xingchen's side or will they be eliminated by Yang Jian first?
At this time, Li Xingchen wished he could also run to the northwest.
But no matter what, what Hou Mi is doing now is like planting a sapling on the land of the Yu family, but I don’t know whether the sapling will take root and sprout, so that the Yu family and even the Northern Zhou Dynasty finally want to change
There is nothing you can do?

"What we are talking about today is about the victory of General Dou Xianyan of the Han Dynasty. Last time we talked about General Dou leading the chariots and cavalry generals to attack the Northern Huns. This Northern Huns..."
The wind stirred up the yellow sand and howled on the Gobi Desert. Next to a small oasis, the chief secretary sat on the ground and talked. He was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, including big men, and even some
There were soldiers from the Northern Zhou Dynasty under Yu Xi's command.
At this time, the chief clerk looked like a scholar. It is said that when he first joined the army, he was as skinny and tender as a girl. Now he has been polished by the wind and sand in the northwest and cannot show his scholarly appearance.
If it weren't for the fact that he could easily pick up stories from the ancients just by opening his mouth or shutting up, I'm afraid no one would believe that he was a scholar.
Of course now he looks like a storyteller.
For the Han soldiers, this was a part they were used to. This story was not in vain. After hearing it, generals at all levels, starting from the rank of captain, would preside over meetings to discuss and learn from the story.
What. And the scope of the story has simply changed from the battles of famous ancient generals to historical allusions. In this process, the soldiers not only learned cultural knowledge and literacy, but also learned historical experience.
For the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they were just watching the fun at first, but as time went by, they themselves also had some subtle changes in their thinking.
Mount your horse to attack Kuang Hu, and dismount your horse to write a military letter. What a cool and unrestrained look!
No matter what era, heroes are worthy of worship, and although the historical figures who appear in these stories are different, they are obviously heroes who protect the peace of one party or even the entire dynasty, and are naturally the objects of learning for everyone.
It would be great if I could hear these stories every day and have these life principles to talk about... It's a pity that except for the major general, there are probably not many literate generals in my family, right? (Unfinished)
