Chapter 1057 Free Education for All

As a time traveler, Qing Ji is well aware of the negative impact that severe class consolidation can have on a dynasty.

Throughout the dynasties of China, we will always fall into a "strange circle".

The general trend of the world is that if it has been divided for a long time, it must be united, and if it has been united for a long time, it must be divided.

After the troubled times, there will definitely be an era of governance and peace and prosperity.

For example, Li Yuan and Li Shimin, their father and son, learned the lessons of the demise of the Sui Dynasty, neglected corvee and reduced taxes, developed people's livelihood, and created the "Government of Zhenguan". Then there was Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian continued, and there was the "Reign of Zhenguan" created by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Li Longji.

Kaiyuan prosperous age".

The Tang Dynasty reached its peak under Li Longji, but also declined under his rule until it was destroyed. It can be said that it was prosperous and then declined.

A dynasty goes from its establishment, to its prosperity, to its decline, and finally to its demise.

This is a kind of historical strange circle of Chinese dynasties.

The reasons for the demise of each dynasty are nothing more than natural disasters, man-made disasters, foreign invasions and other issues.

Among them, "man-made disasters" are the most serious.

The government forces the people to rebel, official administration is corrupt, land annexation problems, and class consolidation problems are becoming increasingly serious. The people are in dire straits, resulting in ordinary people having no way of living, and they will naturally rise up.

Solidification of classes is nothing. After all, as long as there is a mouthful of food to eat and people are not hungry to death, no one will dare to risk being killed to rebel...

However, the solidification of classes will indeed cause a country to lose motivation and only know how to maintain its status quo but not make progress enough.

This is exactly what Qingji dislikes the most.

At this time, seeing Zeng Dian defeated in the debate with Deng Xi, Prince Heng couldn't sit still. He immediately stood up, looked at Deng Xi blankly, and said: "Master Deng, let me ask you, a

In this country, the children of nobles will always be nobles, and the children of common people will always be common people, is that really okay?"

"The second and third sons are nobles and have vested interests, so they are naturally happy to see the results. But, is this fair to all the people in the world?"

"unfair."

"I remember that His Majesty the Father once said a penetrating saying in his early years: A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier."

"Similarly, a commoner who doesn't want to be a noble is not a good commoner!"

"This world belongs to the people of the world, not to one family and one surname, let alone to the nobles!"

"Power is a public weapon, how can it be used privately?"

"We, Da Wu, have now reached a bottleneck. How can we break through it? The only way is to implement free education for all and make politics and religion popular in the world!"

"Governing a country is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat!"

"If we cannot 'advance', we must 'retreat'. This also means that the national power of Wu is bound to decline, or even fail to recover. When will we usher in ZTE? Usher in a true governance?"

"By preventing His Majesty the Father from implementing free education for all, doesn't it mean that Lord Deng is preventing me, Da Wu, from coming to a prosperous age?"

"This...I..."

Deng Xi was speechless for a moment and could not come up with any words to reply to Prince Heng's sharp words.

The ministers and officials in the court couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and were shocked by Prince Heng's remarks.

Prevent Da Wu's prosperity from coming?

Deng Xi couldn't afford to have such a big hat placed on his head.

The most important thing is, how dare Prince Heng say that "the world belongs to one family and one surname"?

Treason!

Fortunately, Prince Heng is the crown prince. If it had been anyone else, he would have been beheaded by the always domineering Qing Ji, or even his entire family...

Listening to Prince Heng's high-sounding words, Qingji just frowned and did not speak.

He knew that Prince Heng was "cunning and hypocritical" and the reason why he said such righteous words was just to successfully defeat Deng Xi and had no other intention.

At this time, as Deng Xi's proud disciple, Li Ke, the Minister of Punishment, could not bear it anymore.

Even if the opponent is His Royal Highness, Li Ke still wants to fight him.

Because Da Wu has never been punished for words, as long as Qing Ji doesn't care, they can attack people however they want.

"The prince's words are wrong."

Li Kezheng said solemnly: "Everyone is born with a distinction between high and low. Therefore, nobles are nobles and common people are common people. The two are not the same."

"Nobles are born to be officials, while common people are born to be farmers and workers. Common people can only engage in despicable jobs!"

"When I say these words, I don't think that common people are inherently inferior, but I'm talking about the situation. Their 'wisdom' is indeed low and they are not as good as nobles."

"There is a folk saying that goes: A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and the mice's children know how to dig holes."

"Now that I think about it, this proverb makes sense."

"Among the many official schools in Wu, there are actually people with commoner backgrounds. After all, businessmen can send their sons to township schools, county schools, or even county schools by sending money."

"I once visited the official schools in Yanling and Prefecture, and found that the articles written by civilian students, as well as their knowledge and writing skills, are indeed far inferior to those of aristocratic students."

After a pause, Li Ke said meaningfully: "Although there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, everyone's talents are more or less different."

"Some people are geniuses, and some people have mediocre talents."

"Why are most of the courtiers and officials in our country, Wu, nobles and not common people?"

"It's not that the country doesn't give civilians opportunities to serve, but that many of them are really useless!"

Li Ke's words insulted some ministers from civilian backgrounds in the DPRK.

At least I was offended!

They don't think they are inferior to those of noble birth!

However, China has always paid attention to "bloodline", and nobles have priority in everything.

Even if Da Wu was a very open-minded person, Qing Ji would only do it on a meritocratic basis.

It is obvious that people from common people are not as talented as those from noble families.

"color!"

Deng Xi followed him out of the queue, bowed to Qing Ji who was sitting on the throne and said, "Your Majesty, the talents of common people are not as good as those of nobles. This is an indisputable fact."

"If Your Majesty wants to implement free education for all, I am afraid that too many educational resources will be wasted!"

"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!"

"fallacy!"

At this time, Wu Hong stood up and retorted: "Master Li, Master Deng, are people with mediocre talents really worse than geniuses?"

"His Majesty the Father once said something that I very much agree with."

"What words?"

"Diligence can make up for weakness, but the stupid bird will fly first!"

"As long as people with mediocre talents work hard enough and are motivated, their achievements may not be worse than those of so-called geniuses, or even worse!"

"Furthermore, as Mr. Li said, why do students from common people in official schools have lower test scores than students from noble families?"
