The Battle of Xu Dahukou made the world famous, and he was like a fierce tiger in the world. He represented the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Zhu family army. He took a step forward, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and waved his long sword.
Rivers of blood flowed.
This is the oppression of a top general. Standing in front of him, these literati are as fragile as eggs. If they are kicked, they will break to the ground.
Those who are capable of the scriptures just want to believe in strong Shifu. In front of them, they don't add a single blow. They just follow the wind and catch shadows, play with their lips and tongue, and make overwhelming false accusations.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, it became even more powerful.
There is an unwarranted incident, which makes harming people a metaphysics... In the past, I had to pay attention to arranging charges and designing frame-ups. This time, it's okay. I want to kill you, it's unwarranted!
But having said that, that was all in the past. Now the power of the literati has dropped to its lowest point. To be precise, the traditional literati. They can't control Zhu Yuanzhang, let alone generals like Xu Da. They are in an extremely embarrassing situation. They just face the digging of ancestral graves that shakes the foundation.
To act, they cannot but react.
Qian Tang suppressed his fear, tried to straighten his chest, and said loudly: "There are certain rules for studying and studying. When I was young, I was enlightened, either at home or near the elementary school, with the intention of reading and literacy, and learning a little bit about theory. Later, when I got older, I sought out famous teachers.
Visit high friends to increase your knowledge and accumulate knowledge. As for entering an academy, studying with famous people and achieving academic success,
They just want to take part in the imperial examination, enter the court as an official, serve the king, assist the country and govern the people... I will say that Bailudong Academy should not accept everyone. I think there is nothing wrong!
Xu Da was startled. Did he misunderstand him?
Don't listen to his bluster, if you believe his lies, you will be fooled." Zhu Ying continued to be angry, Xu Da was also pondering, he knew that there was foreshadowing hidden in the other person's words,
But I don't understand what went wrong.
At this time, Zhang Ximeng glared at Zhu Ying, and the boy quickly shut up...
Then Zhang Ximeng smiled slightly and said, "When it comes to how to select talents, I seem to have some ideas. You famous scholars and scholars must have more ideas. You might as well share them here. Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "From my perspective, the best place to teach and educate people in the world is
There are generally three parts... one is private school, the other is official school, and the third is academy..."
Zhang Ximeng was talking eloquently. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, Song Lian, Zhu Sheng, Xu Da, and many civil and military officials also listened. Who in the world has the courage to ignore Master Zhang's words? As a young man in ancient times after the Song Dynasty, he wanted to leave.
What is the general process of reading, literacy, taking the imperial examination, and becoming a high official?
First of all, the first step is that you need to have some money and your family is willing to support your study. If there is a private school nearby, you can go in and learn to read. Of course, if your family's conditions are as good as Sister Lin's, you can also hire a Jinshi.
I will teach you to read alone at home.
These schools, private schools, and ethnic studies are financed by the private sector. They may also be donated by wealthy businessmen, paid by clans, or teachers rely on their reputation to collect tuition fees to maintain operations.
Therefore, the first step of enrolling in school, the literacy level, is entirely up to you.
And just this step is enough to filter out 90% of the poor.
After you have completed basic literacy and reading, you have to learn more advanced things. After all, whether it is policy, poetry, or eight-part essays, they are not skills that can be mastered at once, nor can they be understood casually. They must be
There is guidance from famous teachers.
This creates the need for higher education.
There are two directions for further education, one is official school and the other is academy.
The system of official education is very obvious, it is the official education at all levels from the Imperial Academy to the prefectures and counties.
For example, the famous Qingli New Deal left behind a school opening order that required students to attend school for more than 300 days before they could take the imperial examination.
As a result, the status of official academies suddenly rose, and students from all over the country rushed to enter official academies. For a time, private academies became depressed and almost closed down.
However, the academy soon found a way to revive the dead, and even went one step further, cooking the oil in the fire.
The method is also very simple, that is, let the court recognize that private academies have the nature of official education, and students who graduate from the academies can directly participate in the imperial examination.
If you're as smart as you, you probably understand what's going on.
The imperial court could order localities to establish official schools, but it could not solve the problem of teaching quality. In many places, official schools did not care what students studied at all, or even whether they came or not. As long as you paid the money, you would be qualified to participate in the imperial examination.
The usual price tag is "At ten, you will be determined to learn; at thirty, you will be established; at forty, you will not be confused; at fifty, you will know the destiny; at sixty, your ears will be attuned; at seventy, you will be able to follow your heart's desires; roughly it means that fifteen taels of silver can be aspiring to study.
Now, at thirty taels you can stand and listen, only at forty taels you have the right to ask questions, at fifty taels you can understand what it means, at sixty taels you can feel comfortable, and at seventy taels, no matter what you do, you can go smoothly
In a word, after graduation, you need to pay more!
After attaining this level of virtue in official studies, one no longer has the ability to teach. It is just a hurdle to participate in the imperial examination. And if you want to pass the imperial examination, you need to be really capable.
The academy stood out at this time.
This is because the large-scale academies are similar to imperial official schools in terms of organization and teaching methods.
The academy is run by a recognized scholar and a scholar recognized by both the government and the public.
All the speeches are made by old gods and are extraordinary. The examiners of the imperial examination are probably the classmates and friends of these people, or their disciples and former officials... Studying with them will undoubtedly greatly increase the possibility of passing the imperial examination.
Ximeng briefly explained the teaching process in order to let people like Xu Da understand. Then he smiled slightly and said, "Actually, we have been teaching in the past few years.
, after the Bojiang River, great efforts were made to establish schools, and then women were allowed to study. We have done so many things, and what kind of talent training should be established by the Wu Kingdom in China to exclude most of the schoolchildren.
After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, Song Lian immediately said: "Yes, this is what Prime Minister Zhang has always advocated. Everyone here is the same, even the poor.
You also have the right to enroll in school and receive education. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate?
Qian Tang and others were speechless for a while. Of course they felt it was inappropriate, but the question was how to object. They couldn't say it!
Everyone could only remain silent.
Zhang Ximeng added: "On top of the most basic elementary school, official schools at all levels are established... For all official schools, there must be a strict assessment system, clear requirements for running the school must be put forward, and qualified talents must be cultivated.
Above, it means Taixue, which is the highest institution of higher education, specializing in cultivating top talents, including senior officials.'
Qian Tang suddenly said: "Xiang Zhang, what about the academy?"
"No more!"
Zhang Ximeng's answer was straightforward, "We will not allow an academy controlled by a few scholars to exist! Learning is in the academy and in the government!"
Qian Tang's expression suddenly changed and he said in a deep voice:
Are there really no merits in academies? It’s not like there have never been official schools. Qingli established schools and opened schools in various places. The results were mixed, and it was impossible to cultivate talents who can help the country and govern the people. Why don’t we rely on academies! Common people think this is wishful thinking! "
"Is it just wishful thinking?
It also depends on whether there are supporting measures...
Five hundred people were admitted. For example, if you are admitted to Jinling Fuxue, you are qualified to become a scribe in Jinling.
The number of people admitted to our imperial examinations is much higher than in the past.
In Jinling, Wubai Guanxue and officials were linked together. In this way,
Is the official academy unbearable? Furthermore, in this way, the number of talents we need every year is probably in the tens of thousands. How can the academy in the world be so large and accommodate so many students?
Smiling, he threw out his idea little by little. Everyone who listened, not just Qian Tang and others, including Zhu Sheng, Song Lian, Ye Chen, and many others, were all shocked. It was an eye-opener for them to finally understand. Zhang Ximeng
What kind of situation are they setting up? Reading and literacy have been widely taught in the military from the beginning, and then schools have been vigorously established. This is to establish a foundation, a foundation that everyone can read. Reading and literacy is no longer the exclusive preserve of a few people.
If we want to meet the requirement that everyone can read and write, the government must come out to do things.
Otherwise, no matter how talented Zhu Xi is, he can only establish a few academies. How many disciples can one Bailudong Academy teach? How many of these disciples are not enough? They are not good enough!
In the past, although the imperial court controlled the imperial examinations and the people also learned arts and martial arts and sold their goods to the emperor's family, everyone knew what was actually going on.
Although the imperial examination was conducted by the imperial court, learning was conducted by the people.
As for the imperial examination, which is a highly subjective examination, once the examiner comes out of the academy and sits on the civilian side, the imperial examination will no longer be a ceremony for the imperial court to recruit talents.
Interestingly, the imperial examinations held every three or four years admitted hundreds of people each time. This amount also cleverly matched the teaching capabilities of private academies.
Perfectly closed again.
Therefore, it is by no means a simple matter to promote reform in ancient times. Thousands of years of development have divided up all kinds of interests, and the entire society is interconnected. Who dares to move the whole body if it is affected?
, you will be reviled by thousands of people, and you will not have a good death, which will bring disaster to your descendants!
"Qian Tang, and you guys, tell me, are my ideas still sound?" Zhang Ximeng asked with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other and dared not speak.
You can accuse and talk nonsense at will, but Xu Dake is holding a knife next to you!
However, it is extremely difficult to refute Zhang Ximeng's words from a rational point of view.
"This, this is too much work for the people and money, isn't it?" Jie Wen'an muttered bravely.
Zhang Ximeng laughed loudly, "I said before, this is taken from the people and used for the people. It depends on whether the people are willing to let their children prosper and change their families!
This time, no one needed to say anything. Zhu Ying jumped three feet high and rushed directly in front of the soldiers who had made meritorious deeds.
"Did you hear that? Prime Minister Zhang gave you land in the academy to provide convenience for your children and grandchildren to enter school. How much kindness is this? Did you see that those scholars, even though they were unarmed, still risked their lives to come and obstruct them?
They are not just doing it for themselves!
"Do you know that from now on, your descendants can compete with their descendants on the same stage and compete with each other! This time, the reward does not give you an official title, but it will also benefit your descendants a lot!
Zhu Ying yelled at the top of his lungs, and those who didn't understand at first finally woke up.
Thump, thump!
Starting from Zhang Ziming, they fell to their knees one after another, crying with excitement. Although they already knew a little, they didn't really understand the value of this reward until this moment!
"Thank you for your grace! Long live your Majesty!"
