“In the aspect of elementary education, we mainly use The Thousand-Character Classic as the teaching material, along with The Analects of Confucius and Cangjie Pian, but we must grasp the difficulty,” Li Xingchen warned. “In addition, we must also start recruiting people to write new elementary education textbooks.
"
After a pause, Li Xingchen continued: "After elementary school, not only should we continue to study these classics, but also engineering and arithmetic should be given the same important status as literature. We will discuss this with Ouyang Mo, and then the workshop will send
People come to cooperate with the teaching.”
It is obvious to all that Li Xingchen attached great importance to industry and commerce, and engineering and arithmetic are the pillars of these two industries. However, many of these studies are actually just scattered experiences. Fortunately, there is no shortage of figures like Zu Chongzhi and Jia Sixie.
If you walk ahead, you can still find the corresponding teaching materials.
Although Xu Ling and Yao Cha, who came from traditional literati backgrounds, were actually not interested in this idea, since Li Xingchen had clearly proposed it, they would definitely cooperate in implementing it.
Moreover, workshops and trade now undoubtedly play an increasingly important role in the newly formed economic system of Bashu. This is also seen by everyone. It is conceivable that the status of craftsmen and merchants will definitely become higher and higher in the future.
Therefore, even if these students do not get involved in these industries in the future, they still need to know some basic knowledge to be able to deal with people in these industries. Yao Cha and Xu Ling are not opposed to this.
The changes in the expressions of the two people were seen by Li Xingchen. He did not require these arrogant intellectuals to accept this at the first time. As time goes by, they will realize the importance of it:
"And if you continue to advance, how to govern your family and country, Duke Xiaomu must be more experienced than Mr. You, so I won't go into details about the specific teaching methods and directions."
Xu Ling was very impressed by Li Xinchen's compliment, and immediately stroked his beard with a smile. He was a dignified "emperor", and wasn't he best at governing the country?
"Then I'll leave the education to you." Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Ling's presence really made him feel a lot less stressed. "Education is a century-old plan. We are starting from scratch now, not only for the present, but also for the future."
For the future.”
Xu Ling and Yao Cha nodded solemnly, and when Xu Ling saw Li Xingchen getting up to see off the guest, he stretched out his hand and pressed the button: "I have one more thing I want to ask Your Highness."
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment, but before he could speak, Xu Ling had already changed his tone to that of an elder: "I wonder when Your Highness is going to appoint a queen?"
Before Li Xingchen could react, Yao Cha frowned. Xu Ling directly talked about Li Xingchen's family affairs. Although the emperor's family affairs were also state affairs, as a minister, it was better to listen as little as possible. Yao Cha subconsciously wanted to
He resigned, but Xu Ling glanced at him slightly at this time. The old man's sharp eyes made Yao Cha shudder.
Don't dare to move.
Li Xingchen laughed first and broke the awkward situation: "Why did Duke Xiaomu think of this?"
Xu Ling immediately said: "Your Highness is still young, but the harem cannot be left without a master for a day. Since Princess Chen Guolechang is the official wife of Your Highness, she should be established as the queen as soon as possible to set the record straight!"
At this time, Yao Cha also realized Xu Ling's purpose of letting him stay. He raised his hands and said, "Your Highness, Cavalry, I think what Duke Xiaomu said is absolutely true!"
Li Xingchen immediately understood that he had really ignored this issue before. Of course, the main reason was because Li Xingchen treated Lechang and the three of them no differently, so he didn't care about such things as status. But today Xu Ling said, Li Xingchen
Suddenly I realized that things were obviously not as simple as I thought.
There are only three people in Li Xingchen's current back house, but three people are enough to involve too many interests.
Needless to say, behind Lechang stood the forces led by Nanchen old men like Xu Ling and Wu Mingche and the Southeast family. Lechang was originally their princess, so sitting in the queen's position would naturally be of no benefit to them.
Harm. In other words, the Southeast family belongs to Lechang's natal family in this newly born dynasty.
In the same way, the Guanlong Group headed by Yang Su, Li Yuan, Niu Hong and Changsun Sheng, as well as the Northern Zhou generals represented by Li Xun and Han Qinhu, who gradually played an important role in Li Xunchen's army, were naturally inclined to support Yuchi Chi.
Fan, after all, Yuchi Chifan's background is here, and even compared to Xiao Xiang and Lechang, it is not too much. You must know that Lu Yuchi's family can be regarded as one of the best generals in several dynasties.
And Xiao Xiang is not without supporters. Not to mention that the eldest princess Li Lian'er loves this little sister the most. The local aristocratic families in Bashu also tend to favor Xiao Xiang. This is mainly because Xiao Xiang, as the mistress, is in Shu.
After staying for the longest time, the Bashu Group has become accustomed to Xiao Xiang and Li Lian'er representing Li Xingchen's will. In addition, it cannot be consistent with the Southeast Family, Guanlong Group, etc., so the Bashu Family headed by the Xiajiang Tang Family
Naturally, he will be on Xiao Xiang's side.
Li Xingchen just laughed it off before. After all, he didn't want anyone to interfere in his housework. But today, when Xu Ling said this, Li Xingchen found that he had to take it seriously. If it continued like this, it would only lead to conflicts between several groups.
The contradiction is becoming more acute.
"Okay, I will arrange it as soon as possible." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
Xu Ling nodded with relief and resigned together with Yao Cha.
Looking at Xu Ling's back, Li Xingchen gave a bitter smile. Xu Ling at least saved some face for himself. He had been talking about it as an elder. After all, Xu Ling was Li Xingchen's original matchmaker and was still qualified.
It seems that I have to get used to the fact that others will dictate my family affairs in the future.
At this time, Xu Ling slowly walked out of the meeting hall. Yao Cha subconsciously wanted to help him, but Xu Ling waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not old enough yet."
After a pause, Xu Ling couldn't help but sigh: "But it's not enough if you don't accept old age."
Yao Cha said hurriedly: "Why did Duke Xiaomu say this? In the eyes of my subordinates, there must be no problem for Duke Xiaomu to preside over the education and college construction."
Xu Ling waved his hand and murmured: "Bo Shen, I can't withstand any big setbacks. This guy Wu Tongzhao is probably not much better. His last trip to Huaibei hurt his vitality. So the future depends on you."
That’s it.”
Yao Cha looked solemn. The Southeast gentry had dominated Jiangnan for hundreds of years. Although the leaders in the middle were constantly changing, they were still a whole. However, as the Southeast gentry entered Li Xinchen's group and supported Li Xinchen in his struggle for world supremacy, it meant that in the future the Southeast gentry would
It is inevitable that one family will no longer be the only one. While owning the world, we must also learn to share the world with others.
Neither Xu Ling nor Wu Mingche had reached this step.
So from now on we can only look at Yao Cha and his new generation. (To be continued)
