Chapter 440: The Traveler's Guide: From the Principal to the Principal
Zhao Kuo was very distressed because there were not many people in Xianyang who could understand him. Even Han Fei, who was deeply influenced by him, did not understand the usefulness of promoting education. Zhao Kuo could only think about it alone.
After the prototype, it was constantly revised. Since Yi left, the courtyard has become a bit empty. Due to Zhao Fu's health, Zhao Kuo asked him to return to his mansion to rest, and he did not come to visit him often.
Shan, on the other hand, was not always at home during these days. Zhao Kuo knew in his heart what she was doing when she went out, but Zhao Kuo did not stop her. Love is a beautiful thing, and he should not stop it. At the most beautiful age,
She should do the most beautiful thing. In addition, her mother was away, Zhao Kuo could only be both a father and a mother, and was unwilling to reprimand her anymore... Zhao Kang left Xianyang and went to Kuaiji to serve as the prefect.
Although Zhao Kang hated studying, the Qin State's requirement for selecting officials was always based on military merit, which was more important than anything else. Zhao Kang was fully qualified. Zhao Kang would write to Zhao Kuo every month to ask about his situation.
, and then reported what he had done in the Chu region. To be honest, Zhao Kuo was really proud of his son. Zhao Kuo had just gone to the Chu region and had done a lot of things. He led the soldiers stationed in the counties to eliminate the enemy.
He killed the thieves around him.
The bandits were so timid that they did not dare to approach Kuaiji County.
Zhao Kuo was very happy, even if he was not with him, he was still happy. His young grandson Zhao Xiu stayed with him, and Fusu often came to visit him. He also secretly instilled the idea of promoting education.
To Fusu... Fortunately, Fusu grew up very quickly. He also had his own ideas and would not follow others' opinions. When Zhao Kuo heard his confusion, he felt even happier and had his own opinion. This is a good thing.
Zhao Kuo is now in his mansion and rarely goes out. The decoration of his home has not changed at all. It is still the same as before. It is as if the art is still there. He has not touched any of the things used by the art. He also tries to make art on weekdays.
What he did here was that the food he cooked was too unpalatable, the clothes he washed were not clean, and the chickens he raised were always losing weight... Yi failed to leave too many souvenirs for Zhao Kuo, who was particularly
When I miss her, I will take out her clothes, look at them, say my lame love words, and burst into tears.
Zhao Kuo is still busy every day, busy listening to news from various places, busy doing things that are beyond this era. Zhao Kuo is not in a hurry to make any achievements, he is just worried that one day he will suddenly leave
Now, his thousands of years of experience will follow him into the grave. Moreover, such busyness, for him, can make him think less about art and avoid a lot of sadness.
Only when he concentrates on handling these things can he leave the sadness in his heart behind and stop thinking about it all the time.
When he had preliminary ideas about education, he couldn't wait to find Lu Buwei. After Lu Buwei retired, he hid at home to study and rarely went out. His physical condition was somewhat better than before. When Zhao Kuo arrived, he did not
Not surprisingly, Zhao Kuo always came to him these days, and the two of them talked about big things in that small inner room. Zhao Kuo came here this time to tell Lu Buwei about his education plan.
He didn't know what Lu Buwei's attitude would be.
Lu Buwei lowered his head and read all Zhao Kuo's plans, from time to teacher promotion to teaching students. Lu Buwei looked at it for a long time, pondered, and asked: "Isn't this a little anxious? The world has not yet been unified.
, there are still people in many places who don’t have enough to eat. Even if we want to promote education, we must first keep people from hunger and cold... If you can’t even fill your stomach, how can you learn to read and read?”
"I don't want to implement it now. This is just my preliminary idea. I am not in a hurry. Even if it cannot be implemented now, there will always be a chance to do it in the future, right?" Zhao Kuo asked with a smile.
Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Kuo in admiration. Zhao Kuo's ideas were different from others. The other ministers came up with new policies that they had to rush to implement to increase their political achievements and reputation. But Zhao Kuo was the real one.
For the sake of all the people in the world, it doesn’t matter whether he accomplished it by himself or not, as long as it played a small role. Lu Buwei really admired Zhao Kuo in his heart.
Compared with Zhao Kuo, he has been running around to become a saint all these years, which makes him feel a little guilty.
Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Kuo's plan seriously and said: "There are several big problems. The first problem is the school system you mentioned. You actually want to set the school system for five years for enlightenment? How is this possible? The children have to help.
Those who do farm work should stay in school for five years. This does not mean they want to become the prime minister of the country.
Know some basic morals..."
"I think the duration of primary school can be set at two or three years, not any longer. As for the tuition fee issue you mentioned, this is easy to solve. You can allow children to attend school half a day and farm half a day, or you can establish a school field so that students can work after class.
Spend your time cultivating the school fields and support yourself... As long as the primary school can take care of the children's food problems, parents all over the world will send their children there. You don't have to worry about this..."
Lu Buwei was worthy of being a prime minister. He saw the shortcomings and gaps in Zhao Kuo's plan at a glance, and the two started discussing together, from the primary school system, to the separation of middle schools, to the curriculum, and finally about the
The problem of the university. Lu Buwei was the only person in Xianyang who recognized Zhao Kuo. He felt that this system was very good, allowing children from the Seven Kingdoms to receive education from an early age, allowing them to have a sense of identity with Qin, and cultivating their patriotism.
It is good to let them know some simple words, understand the law, and be able to do calculations.
As for middle schools and universities, middle schools have some conflicts with academic departments in some aspects, but the problem is not big. Middle schools are for further education after enlightenment and cultivate a group of good young officials. Of course, they can freely choose their own careers. As for
It is a good idea for universities to cultivate scholars, encourage academic atmosphere, and cultivate high-level talents, just like Jixia Academy. This is of course very good.
The two talked for a long time, during which they continued to make changes. In the end, a brand new plan finally appeared. Zhao Kuo couldn't wait to come to the palace and wrote directly to Ying Zheng. Since Yi's death, Zhao Kuo's several
The children's attitude towards him was a little different. They didn't dare to make him angry anymore, they respected him more and were more obedient than before. Zhao Kuo understood that they were also afraid that he would suddenly leave one day and there would be no chance to repay him.
After experiencing so many life and death partings, Zhao Kuo has already seen that in this world, no one will die, and no one will always be by your side. What is important is how to exert unlimited potential in a limited life.
Light, how to treat those who accompany him around him. Zhao Kuo is not afraid of death. For him, death is more like a kind of relief, but he has no idea of seeking death.
He must continue to do more things before the end of his life, and he must cherish the people around him who are still with him.
Ying Zheng was raised by Zhao Kuo. During these years, Zhao Kuo completely regarded him as his own son, even closer than he treated Zhao Kang. Even though Ying Zheng is now the king of the world, even if he has a face.
He also grew a beard, and even though he had a child of his own, in Zhao Kuo's eyes, he was still that baby, stretching out his hands, looking at himself, and babbling.
The father and son can no longer play around like before, and Zhao Kuo can't make him cry anymore, but the relationship between the two has not changed. Even when they are talking about government affairs, they feel like they are talking to others.
At home, Ying Zheng looked at the new plan proposed by his father seriously and thoughtfully, he asked: "Is this another method of implementation of the education you mentioned? What the three elders instilled is not as good as this school.
....”
"This is also necessary for unification. I think an official position can be set up to handle the affairs of these schools." Zhao Kuo said casually, Ying Zheng nodded from time to time, and two big figures from the miscellaneous family, Lu Buwei and Zhao Kuo, took out their
The plan was very good. Especially those courses reminded Ying Zheng of his past. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "These courses in elementary school are really familiar."
"Father, is this an idea that comes from teaching me this matter?"
The courses in primary school were very similar to what Zhao Kuo taught Ying Zheng. Zhao Kuo couldn't help but laugh. At the beginning, he replaced many subjects and taught Ying Zheng all aspects. Of course, Ying Zheng was very familiar with these.
It's familiar. Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "I was tortured a lot by you back then. I can now draw the map you asked me to draw... It's a pity that Fusu can't draw it.
I’ve taught you so many times!”
The world map is actually in the Mafu book. Zhao Kuo once discussed geography and astronomy with Zou Zi. At that time, he talked about a lot of astronomical and geographical concepts, such as the world map. The world map drawn from memory may not be very relevant to later generations.
It fits, but there are still some general shapes. The Asian continent, Africa, the New World, Australia, Alaska, etc... can all be vaguely seen.
Regarding astronomy, Zhao Kuo directly mentioned the concepts of earth, sun, moon and so on. However, no one was shocked. Why? Because this was an era of hundreds of schools of thought, and in the end, hundreds of schools of thought were the last
Although the years have passed, the academic atmosphere is still very open, allowing a variety of different theories to appear, which does not scare people to death, and everyone's receptivity is very high.
This will give rise to JG doctrines like the Qin State, some WZF doctrines of Taoism, and the sayings like everyone is equal like the famous masters. If someone says this in another thousand years, they will probably be exterminated. All kinds of permissions are allowed.
Different ideas and the ability to accept various viewpoints and opinions are the charm of pre-Qin scholarship. Such an open academic atmosphere probably only appeared again two thousand years later.
In this era, there is so much shocking knowledge that no one will be surprised no matter what they hear. It is precisely because of this that there are too many sages in this era. These sages attack each other and use their own knowledge.
Come and proudly show it to the world. Zhao Kuo really liked the academic spirit of this era. Sometimes, when he looked at Xunzi's manuscripts, he would laugh out loud.
Xunzi was usually very gentle, but when he got into academic pursuits, he became a little irritable and began to curse everywhere. In the chapter "Not the Twelve Sons", Xunzi cursed all the scholars in the world.
Xunzi said: Wei Mou is no different from a beast. Chen Zhong and Shi Qi are still beasts because they don't know human nature. Mo Zhai and Song Lun are fools who don't understand the unification of the world. Tian Pian is an unrealistic waste.
Hui Shi, Deng Xi's scholarship was worthless. Zisi, Meng Ke was guilty of a great crime, misinterpreting Confucius's teachings. He cursed and cursed, even his own people were put on the receiving end. After scolding his predecessors, Xunzi felt that it was not worth a penny.
To relieve my anger, I cursed all the schools of Confucianism in another article.
This is probably a different kind of charm possessed by the pre-Qin Dynasty. From now on, it will not be easy to scold the sages. Now is the last chapter of the era of hundreds of schools of thought. If you want to scold the sages, you must seize the opportunity to do so quickly.
, it will be too late.
Ying Zheng agreed to Zhao Kuo's proposal and called Li Si to watch together. Li Si was different from Lu Buwei. When Lu Buwei saw this, he would think about what might be wrong, while Li Si looked at him and just thought about how to complete him. These two
It can only be said that each kind of prime minister has his own advantages and disadvantages. Anyway, Li Si can't give any suggestions, but he can directly implement them. Zhao Kuo thought for a long time and said: "Nowadays, everywhere in the world still can't have enough food.
"
"We can temporarily establish primary schools in the stable Guanzhong, Bashu and other areas as an experiment. When various places stabilize and people live a prosperous life, they can be gradually promoted in various places. What do you think?" Zhao Kuo asked.
Ying Zheng is actually an extreme perfectionist. He either doesn't do something or does it to the best of his ability. He doesn't like this kind of small-scale promotion.
But Zhao Kuo also has his own ideas when he says this. Who knows what kind of problems will arise in practice. If you rush to promote it and want to remedy the problems after they occur, you will have to pay too much tuition.
After three people's discussion, the King of Qin finally decided to set up a primary school in the Guanzhong area of Qin State. The primary school was built according to the county system, while the middle school must be a county. Of course, the university can only be in Xianyang. And, according to Li Si's suggestion,
The King of Qin finally arranged an official position, and the official position was University Jijiu. The so-called University Jijiu was responsible for the education of the country, from students' classes, to examinations, to the arrangement of teachers.
The person who holds this position is Zhao Kuo.
This was also the first official position that Zhao Kuo held after coming to this world.
He successfully grew from the dean of Daqin Kindergarten to the president of Daqin University.
