Zhiyao worked hard for education for twenty or thirty years. Although he did not open schools everywhere, he at least established many places where he could study in "Huangfu", and later insisted on opening martial arts palaces and academic palaces.
There is no possibility of universal education in today's era. Firstly, social conditions do not allow it, and secondly, there are insufficient resources.
What has it to do with social conditions? Why won't universal education be allowed to exist? It's not that knowledge is sacred, it's just that the aristocracy doesn't want everyone to be able to stand up.
What those with vested interests want most is for society to remain unchanged and for them to be the masters and blessings, and for future generations to continue to be superior to others.
As for the lack of resources, it is easier to understand. It is not a lack of books, but a lack of teachers.
If we want to popularize education, one enlightenment school in each township is not enough. We need at least an institution for further learning, and then a school with high political status in the capital.
The two palaces are not institutions of learning in the original country, but are meant to be places for further study.
An enlightenment school caters for the children of a township. According to the administrative unit of the original country, several villages have a population of about 5,000 to form a township. There are at least several hundred children in need of enlightenment, right? In this case, the teacher will have to work harder.
If a teacher educates hundreds of children, a school requires at least five teachers and relevant administrative staff.
When it reaches the school level, the number of students must be larger. If there are not enough teachers to teach, can it be called a school?
Therefore, Zhiyao does not lack paper and books, but it lacks gardeners who work hard to cultivate future flowers!
Nowadays, literate people, or even people who have mastered knowledge, are not willing to be teachers. Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to be a high-ranking official in a certain position? Even if you become a subordinate, there is wider room for advancement. Who wants to work hard to cultivate the flowers of the future?
gardener?
This is not something that Zhiyao can solve by improving his salary in all aspects. If he is given too high a status and too many rights, can a teacher still be a teacher?
Ultimately, the main reason is that there are currently too few literate people. Waiting for the day when the literacy rate is higher, people with knowledge will no longer naturally have more and higher political power, and the number of gardeners who are willing to be responsible for cultivating the flowers of the future will increase.
That way is actually falling into an endless cycle. If there are few literate people, their status will naturally be higher. No one wants to be a gardener; no one wants to be a gardener, so how can there be more literate people.
In Zhuxia, the model of family private schools has been carried out for more than two thousand years, and there is indeed a reason.
"Perhaps I can set the threshold for becoming an official. How many years should someone be a teacher in a certain place before becoming an official somewhere?" Zhiyao thought about this and thought it was a way to try to solve it.
Does it work? Regardless of whether it’s strange or not, it simply works!
There is nothing that can be done about it. The current living environment of Zhuxia is very good. There are no unforgettable tragic events for the whole nation, and there is no foreign race worthy of comparison. It is difficult to understand the importance of popularizing knowledge without going through the pain of history.
Without the corresponding space, Zhiyao uses his status as the king of a country to force certain people, and God knows what kind of people they will cultivate.
Make relevant preparations and then issue an initiative? Believe it or not, the quasi-nobles and nobles unite to block the rest of the class, and then swarm in and use the resources provided by Zhiyao to cultivate their own children. These families who have mastered the knowledge will one day overthrow the rule of the Zhi family.
, it is time for the original country to enter the constitutional stage.
In the final analysis, Zhiyao wants to allow non-aristocratic classes to have the right to education, not to strengthen a single class!
Because Zhiyao had already handed over the matter of becoming a god to Sun Wu, naturally she could not continue to burden Sun Wu.
"Who is the most suitable person to take charge?" Zhiyao first knew that it couldn't be an outsider, and the blood relationship between the people in the clan couldn't be too close.
Leaving education matters to outsiders is equivalent to giving them the opportunity to form cliques for personal gain or to cultivate loyal teams.
If you leave such a big matter to someone who is too close to you by blood, it is tantamount to training powerful officials.
After thinking about it, Zhiyao realized that she had to either do it herself, or else she could only leave it to Prince Zhikai, and the relevant sub-responsible personnel needed to be chosen carefully!
"Then set up a department and let me start it, and clearly appoint the prince as 'left', and the subordinates can choose from the two palaces..." Zhiyao had to think carefully about the name of the new department.
When Zhiyao, who had chosen the address in the new capital, began to focus on the inspection and selection of students from the two palaces, a major event was also happening in "Puyang" dozens of miles away.
The king of a country did not stay in the capital, but a large army was assembled outside the city.
This is an army the size of two legions. They will march to the northeast after swearing an oath, holding high the battle flag and bathing the common people there in the civilization of the original country.
Before the people of Yanland understand the civilization of the original country, the place will first go through a war of blood and fire. The original people in power will be beaten to dust with a stick. The old order will be overthrown. I don’t know how many people will join the old order.
Buried with.
Civilization? Just like Tang Dynasty replaced Xia, Ji Zhou rebelled against Shang, Zhi Yao was also carrying out a new reform, and naturally there would be a new civilization trend.
So, even if the original country that carried out the Ding Revolution and the vassal country of the original order have the same foundation, the core of their civilization may not change, but they look different.
Asking a very simple question, Zhiyao is willing to open up channels for more Li Shuguang to advance. Are the other vassal states willing? Even if some of them are willing, can they achieve the scale of the original country? Impossible!
"Prince please come to the stage." Zhi Xuwu reminded in a low voice.
Zhikai must admit that he is very nervous, far more nervous than when he held the crown prince ceremony.
Become a prince or something? As long as Zhikai doesn't make a fatal mistake, as the eldest son of Zhiyao, he will be the first heir to the throne. It is a matter of destiny, and the excitement will inevitably decrease.
It was the first time in Zhikai's life to become a general and lead an army on an expedition. He knew very well what his father expected. Everyone else was paying attention, which meant that the whole country was paying attention. How could he not feel nervous?
Sima Ranju smiled kindly when he saw Zhikai take a deep breath before coming on stage.
Other people who were assigned to Beizheng's team were also full of understanding and kindness towards Zhikai's actions.
Not everyone is qualified to be a helper for the Prince's debut, and not just a simple helper.
Entering the prince's shogunate this time is equivalent to being labeled as a prince. Even if their generation cannot benefit from it, they will definitely leave a legacy to their descendants!
Therefore, no matter how innocent people are, as long as they have family and descendants, who would not cherish the opportunity to help the prince?
Look at the people standing on the left and right of Sima Ranju. Although they are a bit older in terms of age, they are all famous generals.
At the same time, if you look at the people standing in the row behind this group of veterans, they look much younger.
Among these young people, 30% are from ordinary families, and the rest are nephews of established nobles. This ratio actually seems very healthy. In many dynasties, the middle and high-level people are almost occupied by the inherent interest class.
It is difficult to create new wealth.
There is a fact that the new rich are always less confident than the established aristocrats. This can be seen from the expressions of young people standing side by side. Young people with better backgrounds must look more relaxed.
Obviously their current status is similar, so why are the children of the old aristocrats more relaxed? Because they have more experience, and even if they make mistakes, their elders will take care of them.
For upstarts who don't have the backing of their elders, they are very likely to make one mistake and all their previous efforts will be in vain. How could they not behave more cautiously?
Zhikai stood on the high platform and spoke loudly.
Zhikai's eyes were looking at the phalanxes composed of soldiers. His eyes mostly stayed on the phalanxes of the newly established Habayashi Legion, and occasionally he glanced at the other phalanxes.
In Zhikai's understanding, the Huben Army is the most elite and most capable force in the original country. However, the Huben Army is not suitable for rapid long-distance attacks. On the contrary, the Yulin Army, which was just established, is more suitable.
This Yulin Corps was officially established last year, but the preliminary preparations took a very long time.
The members of the Habayashi Corps are all from meritorious service, and are between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. There is absolutely no one younger than twenty-two or older than twenty-five. This includes officers at all levels, not just soldiers.
age.
This age composition is doomed, and the Yulin Legion is either cavalry or mounted infantry. It is destined that it will never be a defensive force and will be used as a sharp knife again and again.
They are also a force that is different from the temporary conscripted army of the original country. They will exist as the second standing army with a combat strength of 3,000.
The total population of the original country is approaching 10 million. The Huben Army, which has 7,000 standing soldiers, and the Yulin Army, which has 3,000 standing soldiers, only add up to 10,000 standing soldiers. Isn't that excessive?
Of course, the original country already has a border army system. The state is responsible for the equipment of the border army and logistics such as food and fodder. It cannot just support the Tiger Army and Yulin Army. In addition, the total size of the border army is about 30,000.
.
The first frontier army was stationed at Juzhu Mountain and Xiawu Mountain, with more than 2,000 people at the beginning. It was mainly used to guard against sudden invasions from Zhao's Daiguo or Loufan.
Later, the number of border troops was increased in the "Pu" area, Qiongyuqiu and Jingshui lines.
The border troops in "Pu" area are not defensive in nature, their main responsibility is to continue to attack Bai Zhai.
Needless to say, the frontier troops on the Jingshui front line were definitely set up to target the Qin State, and they may have played a role in checking and balancing the Zhongxing clan. With the collapse of the Qin State, the frontier troops on the Jingshui front line would move to the border with Yiqu.
Qiongyu Hill is located in the northeast of "Xianyu". In addition to being the border with the Yan State, it is also one of the paths for the Zhao family to invade the south. In addition to garrisoning, another task of the local garrison is to protect the mountains and rivers of Yan State.
Find out clearly.
This time, Zhikai led two legions to march north, and the frontier troops from Qiuyu Hill would serve as the guide.
Zhikai moved to a general area beforehand, knowing exactly what kind of luxurious team his father had assembled for him.
If it were a dynasty from another era, Zhi Xin would probably be beating the drums in his heart and be extremely grateful to his father.
After all, many royal families have no family ties, and are even more cold-blooded than ordinary families in treating family ties. It would be nice not to suppress or even attack the prince. How could it be possible to put 75,000 soldiers under full command and give them another set?
A luxurious command team.
Because he has not yet entered the era of "no family ties in heaven", Zhikai does not feel family ties, but takes everything his father does for granted.
Did Zhikai accidentally or inadvertently have the idea of using the force he had to kill his father?
In the history of Xia, Shang and Zhou, there were no examples of fathers and sons killing each other. In the era when princes stood side by side, for example, in Chu State, there were more than one incident where relatives killed each other for the throne.
To be honest, Zhikai never once had any disrespectful thoughts towards his father.
As for the method of using force to seize the throne, how crazy must Zhikai be to have such an idea? He can predict the process and results. Once he reveals his intention to seize the throne by force, there may be support from the nobles.
What they will face will be the sharp swords of the soldiers, and the common people will also swarm. In the end, no one, including Zhikai and the nobles, can even think of running away.
That is the result of Zhiyao's long-term efforts. He has repeatedly opened up channels for advancement, which is absolutely good news for groups of people with high or low status. Li Shu, who wants to change his own destiny, is absolutely unwilling to see the possibility of the channels being closed.
Besides, Zhiyao has never done anything that would cause anger and resentment, and the reform was carried out in a gentle and silent manner.
In addition, even if Li Shu and the soldiers may be indifferent to the struggle for royal power, who dares to confirm that Zhiyao has not prepared relevant countermeasures?
As long as he follows the steps, Zhikai, who will be able to take over one day, will only wait patiently and will not do anything stupid.
On a more realistic note, Zhikai could sense that Zhiyao had been letting go of power over him. It used to be in civil affairs, but when it came to military matters, the position of the prince was really stable. What could he do if he had other ideas?
A few days ago, a family letter was sent to Zhikai, mentioning that the country would establish a Ministry of Rites for educational purposes. Zhikai was once again burdened.
Education? Zhikai knows Zhiyao’s obsession and knows how much popularity can be accumulated once the education plan is implemented, and at the same time it can cultivate die-hard loyalists, and how many people can be grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
"My father has even prepared for me to destroy the country. His expectations are so great and deep, I must complete the task perfectly!" Zhikai felt that he was not nervous at all, but full of energy.
Zhixiao, whose face was full of determination and looking at each square formation, suddenly raised his right arm and shouted loudly: "Ohara ten thousand years!"
The sudden shouts from the high platform made everyone stunned.
Fortunately, similar scenes have happened to Zhiyao many times, and both officers and soldiers know how to respond.
Their initial response to "Ohara Ten Thousand Years" was uneven, but it became more orderly from the second shout.
The cry of "Great Plains for Ten Thousand Years" echoed in the wilderness.
Zhi Kai thought: "It is certain that I will win this battle. I will do better!"
