The demise of the Chu State was a very important matter for the whole world. Zhao Kuo's prestige soared. The people of the seven kingdoms either respected him or feared him. No matter how stupid they were, they did not dare to despise him.
.As the last gentleman in the Seven Kingdoms era, and as the general who made the greatest contribution in the era of unification, Zhao Kuo's own prestige in the contemporary era is unmatched by anyone.
The demise of the Chu State made One King of the World move much faster. No, it cannot be said that it was much faster. It was already standing at the door, or even opened the door of One King of the World. Behind the door was the dawn of reunification.
Being able to witness such a great achievement is something that countless Qin people are proud of, especially the kings and ministers of Qin. This is a goal they have been striving for for several generations.
The battle to destroy Chu also became the last carnival of the generals. In this battle, three Guannei marquis including Li Mu, Meng Wu, and Sima Shang were created, as well as dozens of high-ranking titles, including Meng Tian.
Because of his huge military exploits, the young man quickly rose to a high-level title, not far from the Marquis of Guannei. Wang Jian and Zhao Kang also reached the top of their military exploits, which was the position of the Marquis of Che.
However, Zhao Kuo raised Chehou's position too high, but based on the contribution he made when he destroyed the Chu State, it was still lacking. However, they were not in a hurry, because in front of them, there was another country called
Conquering Qi State and destroying Qi State can also gain military merit. Li Mu became Lord Anwu. When he heard this name, Zhao Kuo was also shocked. Why has Li Mu always been at odds with the word "Wu'an" in his life?
Meng Wu was granted the title Lord of Wugong. Wugong was a county in Guanzhong and became Mengwu's fiefdom. At the same time, Sima Shang was granted the title Lord Pingyang, which was a fiefdom in Han. Everyone was happy, and Li Mu became
The prince of Qin State was still a little dazed, but he also liked his time in Qin State very much. In Qin State, he did not have to work hard to resolve the conspiracies in the temple, nor did he need to write to the king.
Tell right and wrong.
He just needs to fight with peace of mind. No one will take away his credit and no one will disobey his orders. Besides, he has also made many friends here. The same is true for Sima Shang. He has always been interested in coming to Qin.
The country has no big complaints, and becoming the king of Qin is what he dreams of. The happiest thing is Meng Wu. Meng Wu's father Meng Ao didn't even get the position of king, but he got it.
This is a big achievement for him.
He can finally stand up and let his children become the kind of people he is.
Every time he told Meng Tian that Marquis Wu Cheng was able to defeat Lord Wu An at your age, Meng Tian would retort that Marquis Wu Cheng was already Marquis Che at your age!
It is not difficult to destroy the Chu State, but it is not so easy to govern the Chu State. The interior of the Chu State is too chaotic. The pain of the King of Chu is now felt by the King of Qin. The reason why the aristocracy of the Chu State is strong is because of the local
There are huge differences in customs, and instead of direct management by the king, wouldn't it be better to seal off these places and let the nobles manage them, obey their orders during war, and pay taxes at other times?
But of course the Qin State was unwilling to govern the local area like the Chu State. The huge cultural differences did not mean that enfeoffment was necessary. The King of Qin selected a group of elite officials from the meritorious soldiers and sent them to the Chu State to serve as
Officials. The current talent vacancy in Qin is no longer so huge, because after Li Si succeeded Lu Buwei, he continued to expand the size of the school. At the same time, Wang Jian's attack on Yan and Zhao Kuo's attack on Chu allowed many soldiers to have titles. They are all
Potential candidates for government officials.
In addition, Zhao Kuo promoted the system of filial piety and filial piety among the three elders, and local virtuous people could be recommended to study in the school. These all increased the number of officials in disguise, and the shortage of officials that had plagued the Qin State for a long time was finally solved.
The situation was resolved to a certain extent, so after the destruction of the Chu State, the Qin State quickly sent a large number of officials to the Chu State to fill the vacant positions above and below.
Li Si and Lu Buwei are still different. Lu Buwei has strong control over the current situation, has a long-term vision, and is good at formulating national policies on a large scale, while Li Si is a pure practical genius. Compared with saying that, he likes to do things, and when he encounters problems that trouble Qin
He had to come up with solutions to the country's problems in a short period of time. Li Si's execution ability was also high, and problems that had accumulated for many years were solved in his hands.
Zhao Kuo sat in the study, looking at the paper in front of him, revising and revising it. Nowadays, officials can be promoted through military merit, but if this continues in the future, it will definitely not be possible. Qin needs a lot of talents, and the same is true for China.
, the current education industry is still in a blank state, Zhao Kuo wants to make some breakthroughs in the field of education. The current education in Qin State, well, there is no education in Qin State.
Yes, Qin wants soldiers who can fight and farmers who can farm. If you don't farm, how can you learn writing?
And after these peasants have made military achievements on the battlefield, if they want to be officials, they can find teachers to study by themselves. The schools in Qin are not responsible for enlightenment, but for the popularization of law. The students in the schools are often
After he learned how to write, he came to the school to study law. Therefore, if people want to get education, they always go to private schools... The Qin State has no restrictions on education, but there are restrictions on those who participate in education.
Those who privately educate others in writing in China must be responsible for the people they teach. That is to say, if you are not careful, a child you enlightened many years ago will grow up to rebel, and you will follow suit.
..This resulted in the Qin State’s education being underdeveloped. After Zhao Kuo came to the Qin State, he made changes to the school. He arranged wine sacrifices specifically for enlightenment in the school in order to expand the number of officials.
For this purpose, Zhao Kuo also asked Li Si and others to compile enlightenment textbooks.
But that's just it, it can't be considered education. China's education really started during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Taixue in the capital. As the highest institution of higher education in the country, Taixue established various courses and was taught by famous people from all over the world.
, if the elites they teach are good enough, they can get official positions. At the same time, in order to increase the talent pool, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also promoted Chinese studies in various counties, shouldering the same mission as Taixue.
Zhao Kuo came from later generations and was very familiar with the education system. However, it seemed inappropriate to ask him to copy the education system of later generations. If nothing else, it was more than twenty years of education, and this was the era.
People cannot accept this. You must know that the average life span of people in this period is less than forty years old, men are thirty-five years old, and women are thirty-nine years old. It is not realistic for them to receive education until they are twenty-three or four years old.
.
Therefore, we must make corrections and develop education on the basis of the complete education of future generations. The strength of a country lies in its education. If these have been personally certified by great men, they can withstand scrutiny. If a country wants to be strong, it certainly needs
Talent, and talent comes from education, Zhao Kuo wanted to develop Qin's education, which was a big undertaking from scratch.
The first is the enlightenment of young children. Of course, the enlightenment of young children can still be called primary schools. Officials will arrange wine sacrifices and set up primary schools in local places, and call young children to learn written knowledge. Of course, what they learn is unified writing and writing.
Language is not just about learning advanced knowledge, but also about how to be a good person and become a good young man in Daqin who has both ability and political integrity. Does such a primary school charge fees?
For today's people, it is not easy to ask them to spend money to send their children to study... Thousands of years later, there will be people who say that studying is useless, and many parents would rather their children farm and herd sheep with them.
They go to school, let alone in today's era? When children grow up, they will become an important labor force in the family and follow the farming. Under such circumstances, it will not work for parents to pay to send their children to school.
So what to do?
Zhao Kuo called Han Fei.
Han Fei has been by Zhao Kuo's side for a long time. He regards Zhao Kuo as his teacher as his own family, and naturally has great respect for art. He is also the older one among Zhao Kuo's many "children"
, Yi's death also hit Han Fei hard, and knowing the deep relationship between Zhao Kuo and Yi, he was also very worried that Zhao Kuo would collapse or even commit suicide because of this.
However, Zhao Kuo did not indulge in grief as he imagined. After a short period of silence, Zhao Kuo returned to the past, still working hard for this land. Zhao Kuo would still joke occasionally, with a smile on his face.
He is not always sad. Occasionally he will hug his grandchildren and tell them stories with a smile. Unlike Zhao Kang, Zhao Kuo is hardly affected except for occasionally shouting Yi's name when he can't find clothes.
outside.
The teacher suddenly called him over, and Han Fei felt uneasy. He was really afraid of what Zhao Kuo would tell him.
However, when he came to Zhao Kuo, he was surrounded by papers. He looked a little tired, but still healthy. Han Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Kuo looked at him and suddenly said: "I
I called you here this time for a law. I am going to implement the compulsory education law." Han Fei was stunned, compulsory education? He didn't quite understand what Zhao Kuo was thinking. Zhao Kuo said: "It's the Qin State.
The people of the country are obliged to receive education, learn writing and language, learn knowledge and principles of life."
Han Fei stood up suddenly, frowned, and said seriously: "Teacher!"
"I heard that if you want to govern the people in the country, you cannot let them understand too many principles. Let them understand that obedience is the most important thing! When people learn knowledge, they will have unnecessary ideas and they will not be willing to obey.
Because of the decision of the temple, I am unwilling to do my job..."
"You remnant of feudalism!" Zhao Kuo couldn't help but yell. After a while, he calmed down again. He frowned, stood up, and said seriously: "Foolish people, stupid people, alas, you say, I am fighting everywhere.
, What is the purpose of quelling the war? Is it for Qin? Is it for politics?" He shook his head and said seriously: "I am for the people living here."
"Education is the foundation of the country. The more the people know, the more stable the country will be. The foundation of the country is the people, not the king... When the people understand morality and have knowledge, they will know right from wrong. Some people slander heroes.
Warrior, many people will come out to attack him... If the people are stupid, they will violate the orders of the temple everywhere and be arrogant..."
"I don't blame you. What you want is to stabilize the country. Let me tell you, when the people in the country know right and wrong, the country will become more stable. The strategy of fooling the people is wrong. You
You are not only a minister of Qin, you are also a sage of China..." Zhao Kuo said, looking at Han Fei who was confused and wanted to argue with him, but felt helpless in his heart, Han Fei could not understand him
, maybe Xunzi can.
This cannot be blamed on Han Fei. Han Fei's idea is that the state controls everything, and the people are more like tools. The people must serve the government. But in Zhao Kuo's case, the government is a tool, a tool that serves the people, and the policies issued by the temple are
, it must first benefit the people, and then it can benefit the country. The so-called country is essentially just the people living within this territory.
The two had different ideas, and Zhao Kuo said seriously: "The military merit system is not suitable for peaceful times. When the world is at peace, the selection of talents will become a problem. The definition of talents cannot only be able to fight. I want to popularize it."
Education is to enable the country to have more talents...and education is not just about cultivating talents, it is also about cultivating morality. Alas...I don't know what to say to you."
"In short, if you want to make people from all over the world become one family, you must integrate them through education... let them know right and wrong, let them learn knowledge, if in the future Qin State, people in the cultivated land
If farmers can read farmers' books to farm, then I will die in peace!" Zhao Kuo sighed for the rest of his life and looked at Han Fei with some disappointment, and Han Fei frowned.
He still felt that Zhao Kuo's approach was not good for the Qin State. It was okay to cultivate talents, but comprehensively promoting cultural knowledge would give birth to a lot of disobedient moths who would not engage in farming and talk all day long... Zhao Kuo stopped forcing it.
He came to help him formulate it. He sent Han Fei away and began to formulate it by himself. Zhao Kuo was very firm, and things that had been proven by history could not go wrong.
Even if his actions caused the destruction of the Qin State, Zhao Kuo did not regret it. When the people all have knowledge and the Qin State is destroyed, it means that the system of the Qin State is indeed not in line with the people's will and is disgusted by the people.
The Qin State deserves to be destroyed!
Zhao Kuo tried to set the time for school entry. Because children in this era were relatively precocious and basically had to go to war at fifteen or sixteen, so the minimum age for primary school admission could be set at six years old, but the time for education could not be
It is too long. It is best to control it to five years. When the youngest students are about eleven years old, they can leave primary school or take exams and then go to middle school. The definition of elementary school is only simple enlightenment education, while the fields of middle school must be advanced.
Some.
To cultivate practical abilities such as law, the thoughts of hundreds of schools of thought, advanced military theories, etc., the time for middle school can be set at five years. When the five years of study are completed, they will be sixteen years old, and they can serve as grassroots officials.
, like this, the positions of grassroots officials are endless, and then there are universities. The university is located in Xianyang. Those who do not want to serve as grassroots officials after graduating from middle school can take the university entrance examination.
The purpose of being in a university is to receive the training of top talents. Those who come out of here must at least have the ability to serve as the right-hand man in the county.
Enlightenment in primary schools, cultivating low-level talents in middle schools, and cultivating high-end talents in universities. This is Zhao Kuo's current thinking.
As for the issue of tuition fees, Zhao Kuo believes that compulsory education must be set in primary school, that is to say, all children must receive education during the five years of primary school... Tuition fees must be available, otherwise Qin's treasury will have problems
, however, some tuition fees can be reduced, and certain subsidies can be given to students from very poor families, but middle schools and universities are just not popular.
ps: Ersanzi, I really dare not read comments these days. It is the first time in my life that I have experienced such an attack. From a certain website account to QQ WeChat, to Qidian private messages, and even Tieba Weibo, I have been scolded bloody.
Head, some people even found my mobile phone number from nowhere and texted me to scold me. I was very scared. I admit my mistake again. I will add a subtitle to compensate everyone. Please calm down, please. If you continue to scold me like this, I really want to
