Therefore, the concubines of the harem did not want Taishan Academy to become an academy focusing on Confucianism or even teaching Confucianism exclusively. In this way, the academy has not yet been established and in fact it is no longer meeting the needs of society.
Li Xingchen continued: "Taishan has been the place where Zen has been enshrined since the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is good to establish an academy in Mount Tai, but it also involves various aspects. This academy must not be too close to the secular world, as it will attract criticism."
Yu Chizhen suddenly realized that they had indeed not considered what Li Xingchen said.
After all, Mount Tai is different from other places. It is the place where the royal family communicates with the heaven and earth, and it is also where the monarch's authority is majestic. Of course, the academies opened here cannot teach knowledge such as business and industry. At least it seems that it has not fully entered the upper class of society. Otherwise, great Confucian scholars would definitely
There will be protests.
On the contrary, if an academy based on Confucianism is established here, then these scholars will fully support it, because in their view, this is tantamount to the imperial court acquiescing that Confucianism is the orthodox theory of governing the country.
This location was chosen poorly...
Yu Chizhen didn't know what to say. It was true that as His Majesty said, it was inevitable to build a college in Mount Tai. However, precisely because it was in Mount Tai, the teaching content and purpose of the college could not be changed.
Yuchizhen clearly showed a disappointed look,
Li Xingchen squeezed Yu Chizhen's hand gently, as if he had read through her thoughts: "The inner palace is your child, so how can it not be my child?"
Yuchizhen was startled for a moment.
Li Xingchen explained directly: "Taishan Academy is to be established, but Taishan Academy should not be controlled by the inner government alone, otherwise it will not be easy to explain to the court. I suggest that you discuss this matter with the Ministry of Rites. Taishan Academy should be jointly built by both parties.
Cultivate ritual and music talents for the Han Dynasty."
After a slight pause, Li Xingchen then added: "In addition to Taishan Academy, there can be no other academies from Qingzhou to the Central Plains. In Chenliu, Yingzhou and other places, new academies can be built. In addition, after the imperial court captured Yecheng during the Northern Expedition
, you can also set up an academy in Yecheng. Yecheng is a big city in the north. Naturally, this academy should be a place that can compete with Longmen and other places in the north, so the inner government should also make preparations in advance."
Yuchizhen looked happy. If he established another academy, the inner government would have made half of the money in vain.
Your Majesty... is indeed quite biased.
Li Xingchen then opened the memorial. Among the things that the inner government is now responsible for, the most important things besides academies are hospitals and pharmacies.
"Do you still have enough money?" Li Xingchen pointed at the almost astronomical expenses. As long as the hospitals and pharmacies opened by the imperial court were just to make a profit at cost, Li Xingchen's original intention was not to use medical treatment.
In order to increase the revenue of the imperial court, we hope to encourage more people to seek medical treatment through cheap medical treatment.
When people are sick, they should be treated instead of waiting for God's gift.
This has two important benefits. One is to increase the average life span of the population to a great extent. An increase in the average life span of the population is naturally equivalent to increasing the number of social labor forces in a disguised manner to meet the current labor shortage within the Han Dynasty.
The second nature is to reduce the possibility of social superstition. The ancients lacked sufficient medical methods, so they often placed their hope in the magic of witches and ghosts or the blessing of gods. The rapid spread of belief in gods and Buddhas in the Southern and Northern Dynasties is inseparable from this.
Relationship. Fear of death is also human instinct.
Now that diseases can be cured through medical skills, there is no need to place hope on illusory theories of gods and ghosts. Instead of praying for the blessings of Buddha and God, it is better to hope that the knife in the doctor's hand can be stable.
The people of this era are still simple in their thinking. For them, there is no difference between famous doctors who can cure diseases and gods. Therefore, they respect doctors and revere life. At least now Li Xingchen does not need to worry about whether he will be nervous.
Worry about the doctor-patient relationship.
The reduction of feudal superstition, or to be precise, the reduction of superstition about gods and ghosts, will naturally promote the forward development of ideas, and as ideas develop forward, science and technology will naturally progress along with it.
As for the authority of the imperial power, Li Xingchen was not worried. Later generations could still preserve the constitutional monarchy even though the level of science and technology was so high, which showed that the majesty of the imperial power itself was not inconsistent with the progress of ideas.
Of course, Li Xingchen didn't know where the royal family would end up, whether it would be overthrown or whether he would preside over top-down reforms first, and he didn't want to know.
What he wants is not that his descendants will be prosperous. Even Li Xingchen doesn't want his descendants to become worms stalking the nation because of their royal status. What he wants is for the nation to be able to survive.
Fire is reborn and prosperes for a long time.
Even if the Han Dynasty is replaced by another dynasty at this cost, it will be fine.
Now that we have come to this era, there is no such thing as selfishness. How many heroes hope to start over again to fulfill their unfulfilled wishes. None of them have this opportunity. Now that they have this opportunity, they cannot let these things hover in the sky.
Above, the heroic spirits who were protecting China were disappointed.
Li Xingchen has already thought about how to educate his children. Power should not be the only thing they pursue. As the descendants of the royal family of the Han Dynasty, they should take on more responsibilities and serve in more fields.
The identity of a leader in these fields is not limited to the court and governance, but should be in culture, science and technology, and social levels.
In addition, the world is very vast, and Li Xingchen does not want his descendants to stick to Kyushu. Instead, he should spread the footprints of Chinese descendants all over the world.
Li Xingchen cannot tolerate useless people, let alone useless people in the royal family. If future generations are incompetent, then Li Xingchen will not even mind giving up the country. Of course, people are selfish, and it is better not to give up the country if you can.
.
Yu Chizhen said in a deep voice: "When I first entered Luoyang, it was indeed difficult, but now there are many donations from all walks of life, and the Queen's sister is in charge of financial management in Jiankang Mansion, so it can still be maintained now, but Your Majesty also sees it
Now, with such high expenses, it is really difficult to make a profit. In terms of hospitals, the government still needs subsidies from the national treasury."
"This can indeed be subsidized." Li Xingchen nodded, "But the specific subsidy amount and through what method, whether it is to transfer the money directly to the inner government, or whether the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household directly build hospitals and pharmacies, the inner government must discuss with the outer court.
good."
Thinking of something, Li Xingchen frowned and added uneasily: "Don't make trouble like before. The government doesn't want face, but I still want face."
