Chapter 626 The person who can cure Chao Cuo is back

"Please report, I want to pay homage to the prince!"

The visitor bowed his hand and bowed slightly.

The scholar at the door was silent for a moment, and then said, "The prince has given him instructions, you don't have to report, please come in."

Only then did Liu Ci lead Dong Zhongshu into the prince's mansion.

Liu An's mansion was extremely lively. The scribes sat in the courtyard, sitting together in three or three, debating various knowledge. These were all young talents from the Huang-Lao School. Liu An carefully selected them, and each of them was

Liu An is the most talented man from a hundred years. Unlike everyone in the past, he knows how to make full use of his power and the principle of brainstorming. He gathers around him the most outstanding young people of Huang Lao, who have helped him so much that he can make

He maintains a leading position in any competition.

He said he wanted to compile rituals, and hundreds of guests were moved by the news, and almost everyone could tell some truth. This was much more efficient than the other people thinking hard alone in the mansion.

Liu An attached great importance to these talents. Among the many ministers, Lu Jia was the one who interacted with him the most frequently. Liu An played a great role in enlightenment. He led his disciples to write about learning from the hometown.

Compared with Confucianism, Huang Lao is obviously more suitable for this, because the textbooks they compiled include knowledge from multiple parties and will not be biased against subjects. Liu An also personally set up Huang Lao academies in various places to train them.

Huang Lao’s talents, because the threshold for Huang Lao Lao’s elder is too high, Liu An commented on the books of Huang Lao’s sages in the past, making them simple in order to cultivate more talents.

As long as Liu An is still there, Mr. Huang will not be at a disadvantage. They can still stand out in the face of the heroes and maintain their supreme position.

Today, this Jianxiang likes to use mathematical knowledge to solve everything he does. He conducted detailed statistics on the country and learned about the Han Dynasty from various aspects so as to better govern the Han Dynasty. In Zhang Cang's investigation

In the past, he had investigated the literacy situation among the people, which was also conducted at the request of the emperor. After a long investigation, Zhang Cang finally found that the national literacy rate was about 7%. This result seems meaningless at the moment.

, but it is conducive to viewing the results of enlightenment.

All the ministers were indifferent to the so-called literacy rate, but Liu An was particularly concerned about this calculation.

After walking into the inner room, Liu An was chatting with several confidants.

Feng Tang, Ju Meng and other old shepherds were not here, but the two of them were Cheng Bushi and Zhibuyi.

Liu An talked and laughed and discussed something with them. When he turned around, he saw his younger brother Liu Ci.

Liu An looked at Liu Ci, who was bruised and swollen in front of him, and asked suspiciously: "Who has you beaten up?"

Liu Ci touched his face awkwardly, "I was bitten by a vicious dog."

"Which vicious dog is this? He is quite good at boxing and kicking."

"Brother of Ruyin Hou family, this is not important. I brought my Zhongshu to study. Please don't care about his stupidity and teach with all my heart. I have thanked you here!"

Liu Ci said, and even whispered to Dong Zhongshu, "Don't you thank me?"

Dong Zhongshu understood clearly, and he automatically replaced himself into the role of my father.

Liu An asked the two men to stand aside and wait, and continued to talk to them himself, "Tell those people that the college is the college, the county school is the county school, and I paid for the college myself, which is used to cultivate Mr. Huang.

This is different from the Taixue School. With more colleges, more people are available. Isn’t it enough for teachers to be sent to various places in the future? There are fewer places in the Taixue School, and it is mainly governed by government. I am

It’s a purely academic story. If they have any questions, let them come to me!”

Shibu said calmly: "What they opposed is not the school, but their children are not allowed to enter school."

Cheng Bushi also sneered and said, "These people are never satisfied. They are qualified as Imperial Academy and come shamelessly to get a share of the pie in His Highness's Academy."

Dong Zhongshu listened to their conversation, looking thoughtful.

Liu An explained a few words before they left. Dong Zhongshu asked, "Is it the matter of the school that caused trouble?"

Liu An said with a smile: "Perhaps people from other schools saw me setting up Huang Lao's school, and were afraid that Huang Lao's power would be a little unsatisfied."

Dong Zhongshu disagreed, "Your Highness seems to be setting up the Huang-Lao Academy, but in fact he is promoting the lower-class people, so they naturally can't sit still."

Liu An laughed loudly.

Liu Ci frowned, "What does it mean?"

Dong Zhongshu patiently explained: "Your Highness has set up Huang Lao Academy in various places, with more than 20 schools. Your Highness's disciples are responsible for lectures in various academies. It is a huge scale, and your Highness's academy and the crowd.

Differently, all those recruited are elderly strong men.”

"Li Nan? Then my father meets the standards!"

"King. This strong man refers to those farmers who are busy in the farmland and have made outstanding contributions and received rewards."

“Ah? Farmer??”

Liu Ci looked at Liu An in surprise, "Why should I recruit an elderly farmer?"

Dong Zhongshu frowned, "I don't know much about this."

Liu An chuckled and let the two little guys sit in front of him, "Do you know the three elders in the place?"

"Know."

"It is of course very important for ministers to formulate policies, but these three elders, especially the three elders in the village, are the people who have the most frequent contact with the people and can actually affect the implementation of the policies. My school is just for these three elders.

The content of the professors they set up was not too complicated, but just some of Huang Lao's basic ideas. Ah Father has been working hard to crack down on the powerful and preventing officials from bullying the people. The method he took was to let the more powerful ministers put their swords on the officials'

As for me, I want to give the people a sharp knife so that they can also have certain self-defense capabilities.”

"These three elders have received rewards from the temple and have a certain culture. The most important thing is that they came from my academy."

"Do you understand?"

Liu Ci suddenly realized, "Brother wants to turn all the grassroots people into his own and seize power from Ah Father!"

"fart!!"

Even Liu An couldn't help but swear words at this moment.

Liu An no longer wanted to say anything to Liu Ci, but just waved his hand, "Go and play with yours! Don't affect my teaching!"

Liu Ci went to the courtyard to play with the guests, while Dong Zhongshu learned rituals from Liu An. Dong Zhongshu had a very high understanding. Although Liu An was Huang Lao, he was quite familiar with Confucian rituals. He had read a lot of books.

He knows the knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought. If he is not clear, how can he absorb it?

Dong Zhongshu listened very seriously. After listening to Liu An's story for more than half an hour, he stood up to thank him.

The prince still has many major things to do, and it is rare to take half an hour to teach him every day.

"Your Highness. I think something is wrong with your academy. If the three elders are strong, they will easily become crippled with the powerful and the temple's orders will not be conveyed."

"This is what happened when your Confucianism is strong. If you have to be careful of the strength of the three elders before the law, you should not worry about this. Do you know that the three elders at all levels of the Han Dynasty were appointed because of Huang?"

The three elders are not strictly in the temple officials. They have no salary. They are elected by the people themselves. They usually choose the most famous old men to serve as the ones. They cooperate with the temple to govern the people. They are strictly in charge of education.

In fact, there are many things that can be managed. They can be regarded as the initial representatives of public opinion and played a great role in the Han Dynasty in governing the local area. Although their official titles are not high, in fact, the emperor attaches great importance to the opinions of these three elders every year.

Rewards are often made. When officials discuss major events, the three elders will also participate as representatives of the people. They have the power to directly report the memorial, they can influence the major events in the temple, and even report the emperor directly.

Once the temple's policies begin to harm the people, or local ministers formulate strategies that are not conducive to the bottom, the three elders will begin to become active.

Unlike what many people think, the three elders in the early Han Dynasty were not held by local clans or powerful people. The people's recommendations cannot be interfered with. They usually choose the most educated and respected old man to serve.

.

If there are bad deeds of oppressing the people, don’t think about becoming the third elder in this life.

Of course, when it developed into the second Han Dynasty, the situation began to be different. The three elders were no longer representatives of the people, but became representatives of the powerful landlords. They no longer made decisions for the people as Liu Bang thought. Instead,

It has strengthened the issue of land annexation among the people.

The land in the early Han Dynasty was not too strong, and there were many reasons: the Han Dynasty severely cracked down on the powerful and migration, and the strength of the three elders.

If you want to swallow the land of the people, you will see if the three elders report the memorial. If he reports the memorial to the emperor directly, it will see if you can't lose your head.

In history, the three elders reported a lot of news. Many officials who were arrested by fish and meat were arrested. The three elders even dared to persuade the emperor. For example, during the piggy period, the prince was frightened by witchcraft and wanted to

Kill Jiang Chong, and after the defeat, he fled Yu Quanjiuli Xiaozhu was furious and believed that the prince rebelled, and the ministers also believed that the prince rebelled. At that time, three elders wrote to the emperor, believing that the prince was not rebelling, but that it was Jiang Chong's fault!

The emperor dared to participate in family affairs and dared to openly sing a rebellion with Emperor Wu of Han. This is the three elders in the early Han Dynasty. They even had records of helping to quell the rebellion.

During the piggy period, there was an embroidered garment named Wang Wengru. This man was dismissed for offending the emperor because he was unfavorable to do things. He later offended the largest local tyrant. He was probably a very stubborn person and made enemies everywhere, but this man was still

After choosing the three elders, it can be seen that the appointment and removal of the three elders is actually decided by the people. If you offend the powerful, you can still be responsible. It seems that the reputation of this powerful is definitely not good among the people.

The three elders in the early Han Dynasty were not the same thing as the three elders in the original, and were not very similar to the three elders in the future. They were products of the Huang-Lao era.

Huang Lao's theory should try to avoid the temple being too strict with the people and do not want the temple to take care of everything. They want to give the people a relaxed social atmosphere. They hope that the people can have such elected representatives to maintain the relationship with the officials in the temple.

A balanced situation.

Seeing that the prince was so determined, Dong Zhongshu didn't say anything more. He bowed his hand and decided to leave.

Only when he left did a visitor come forward, "Why should your highness teach a Confucian scholar? These people are destined to go against us."

Liu An laughed, "Why don't you teach me? He has become a Confucian saint. In the end, he also wants to do things for me?"

The client suddenly realized that, yes, although it was a competitive relationship in science, he was still his own minister in the end.

Chang Liu held a grand banquet to entertain Luan Bu.

The banquet was in the original Tang Palace.

Not many people came to the banquet. Apart from Luan Bu, there were only Lu Lu, the past servants, and several officials from the Inner Shifu.

Luan Bu completed the restoration of agriculture in Longxi, which was a great achievement.
