Therefore, the education level and attention of young people in the south are naturally better than those in the north. There are also more literati, such as Bao Zhao and Xu Ling, especially Bao Zhao, who went north to visit relatives because of his outstanding talents.
He was forcibly detained by the Northern Dynasty. It can be seen that the north was still very short of talents at that time, especially those who had made achievements in culture.
So there is a very serious question before us.
In the south, the imperial court gave war orphans and children from poor families a chance to go to school for free, so that they could gain a foothold in society and have the opportunity to catch up with their peers who had a better fate than them.
But in the north, if the court follows the same pattern, it will mean that these children have suddenly surpassed their peers. What should their peers and their parents think? Why do my children have the same poverty?
Can’t we get support and assistance from the imperial court?
This is why the scope of recruiting students in Chang'an Free School is currently limited to Chang'an City, because outside of Chang'an City, the conditions for student recruitment are difficult to meet the reality of society. Therefore, it is not that Xu Su and others are short-sighted, but that they really dare not.
As concubines in the harem, they naturally represent the royal family, and even the Han Dynasty. The intention of starting a free school is good, but if it causes social turmoil and turmoil, they cannot bear this responsibility, and even the royal family and the inner government
Nor can I afford it.
Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "There is only so much that the inner government can come up with now. It is okay to open a free school, but the entire Sanfu and even the free schools in Guanzhong cannot rely on the inner government to support it."
Xu Su whispered: "But it is difficult for a Chang'an Yixue to support the needs of the third assistant, let alone a Guanzhong."
"No, that's not what I planned," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "The current Chang'an Yixue is just an example for the whole world to see."
Xu Su was startled for a moment, this was something she had never expected before.
After all, voluntary education is definitely not something that makes money, and not all the people it trains may be available. It is even possible that the money invested will be wasted. If there is no internal treasury to support it, I am afraid no one will have the courage.
As an example, what does it mean?
"The foundation of free learning lies in the expenditure of the inner treasury," Li Xingchen said after consideration, "but the inner treasury does not have a steady flow of money. On the basis of free learning, more social forces must be involved. Now I want to make Chang'an
As a template, free learning tells the world that such an act of educating future generations and cultivating talents is feasible. Today's Han Dynasty can not only cultivate talents through academies, but also through more methods, whether free learning or private schools.
No matter what, what the Han Dynasty needs now is talents, talents who can drive all levels and drive the entire era forward."
Xu Su looked at Li Xingchen in surprise.
She had to admit that she had indeed underestimated Li Xinchen, or she had underestimated Li Xinchen's pattern.
Xu Su thought that Li Xingchen wanted to open a volunteer school just to give the concubines in the harem something to do, and also to cultivate some grassroots talents who could be of great use for himself. After all, whether it was Jinling Academy, Chengdu Academy or Yuelu Academy
No matter what, those who are trained are all people who will enter the elite in the future, but if there are only these people at the top, and their thoughts and concepts cannot be conveyed to the lower levels, then the court's training of them has no practical significance.
Therefore, Xu Su believes that the main purpose of Li Xinchen's founding of the charity school is to realize the new thoughts and ideas of the current court through these children who will enter the grassroots level in the future.
But it is obvious now that this is just a purpose of Li Xingchen.
In the final analysis, Li Xingchen wanted to establish a complete top-down education system in the Han Dynasty by opening voluntary schools, so that scholars would have a place to teach reading methods, workers would have a place to teach manufacturing skills, and businessmen would have a place to have professors to engage in their work.
A place for business experience
Now the Han Dynasty already has academies to train princes and generals, and there are also free schools to train low-level talents. Li Xingchen used these to tell everyone that the highest-level talents are needed by the court, and the most ordinary talents are also needed by the court, and in
The imperial court is definitely in need of these talents.
It's just that the imperial court no longer has enough power and money to train talents, so if all levels of society have spare capacity, they can already start to train talents themselves.
When academies at all levels are established, Dahan's talent training method will naturally gradually change from the original inheritance of masters and apprentices to mass teaching in academies. In this way, Dahan will naturally be able to obtain more knowledge at a faster speed and with higher efficiency.
Many talents.
With such an education system, the previous nine-grade Zhongzheng system will naturally break down. When society no longer needs talents directly selected by the Nine-grade Zhongzheng system, it will instead tend to select talents from among the students of the academy.
At that time, the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System was naturally swept into the trash. Even if the aristocratic families wanted to persist, in order to ensure that their disciples could still play a role in the entire Han Dynasty system, the aristocratic families could only consider how to
Get more opportunities through the education system of academies.
Li Xingchen is doing charity now, but his ultimate goal is to completely establish a talent training system modeled on later generations and based on the imperial examination system on the basis of charity, so as to free the Han Dynasty from the control of aristocratic families.
The complicated situation in the north is not a bad thing for Li Xingchen. People's education levels vary, and the power of aristocratic families is far less powerful than that in the south. In order to be able to deal with the southeastern gentry, northern aristocratic families, such as the Yang family of Hongnong and the Yu family of Lantian, etc.
etc., we must also rely on Li Xingchen.
They no longer tend to compete with the imperial power by establishing an alliance system of aristocratic families similar to that of the Southeastern aristocratic families, but prefer to break the existing alliance system of aristocratic families and evolve themselves from aristocratic families to founding aristocrats.
This is mainly because after the confrontation between the Eastern Wei and the Western Wei, the confrontation between the Northern Zhou and the Northern Qi, and the split between Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian, the basic trust between the northern families has been almost lost. Naturally, it cannot be the same as in history because of the entanglement of interests.
And the layers of in-law relationships eventually gave birth to the Guanlong Group, a huge alliance of aristocratic families that controlled the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Of course, in fact, with the gradual progress of ideas, even if there is such a family alliance, it has been difficult to prevent the birth of a fairer method of selecting talents such as the imperial examination system. However, if there are no aristocratic families and family alliances to block it, the imperial examination system
