Chapter 422: The Beginning of the Introductory Program
Liu Yu arrived soon. He was just across the street and could come in a few steps. I heard that Liu He was still fooling people over there in the bookstore and would have to wait a while before he could come back.
"When selecting a tutor, talent and learning come second, and moral character comes first. In the past six months, He'er has inspected many people, but not many caught his eye."
From what Liu Yu said, he probably didn't recruit many.
The serious attitude is correct. Liu Xiang will not blame Liu He for this. Master Meng cannot be literate. This is educating the next generation. It is a long-term matter. It is also the basis for reforming the talent selection system. It cannot be taken lightly. It is better to
You can't wait a few years to make up for it.
What if the person you attract is a thief? What if you are a fugitive? What if you are a member of a noble family with ulterior motives?
What kind of good children can this kind of person teach?
Elementary school teachers can really affect a child's character.
Education is a century-old plan. The imperial examination system hidden in Liu Xiang's heart is also a major event that breaks the knowledge monopoly of aristocratic families. It is more important than the bookstore and cannot be ignored.
"This matter is not urgent. What Liu He did is the right way. I will not rush him."
The two chatted for a few more words, and Liu He hurried back with excitement on his face. After bowing to see him, he said happily: "General Qi, I have recruited a great talent today."
What kind of talents are needed to become a master? Liu Xiang was puzzled.
"Who makes you so excited?"
"Xu Qian, Xu Weichang of Beihai, could recite hundreds of thousands of words at the age of fifteen. This year, there are three of them. The Five Classics are all written in his mouth. He has read biographies extensively and his words are complete. He has promised me that he is willing to enlighten young children.
But there is a condition: it cannot be too far away from the book city. He wants to study and study in the book city."
This was indeed a great talent. Liu Xiang knew Xu Qian, one of the seven sons of Jian'an.
But, Liu He, do you have this standard for recruiting Mongolian students? How long will it take you to recruit enough people?
"I have also heard about Xu Weichang's talent and reputation. Since he wants to study, he can be arranged to live near Ye County. His daily necessities, including horses and carriages, can be met. If he has any requirements, just ask him."
Liu Xiang felt that he should retain the person first. Xu Qian came from a poor family and his family was not very wealthy. He agreed to be a monk, probably because he wanted to make some money to pay for his living expenses in Ye County.
Inviting the future Seventh Son of Jian'an to be a disciple, he always felt that this act was too extravagant. Even if others were not as good as Xu Qian, it shouldn't be too different, right? Is the inspection standard too high?
I couldn't hold it back anymore, so I asked: "Are all the Meng Masters talented people on inspection?"
Liu He said with a weird look on his face: "General, it's hard to persuade talented people, so let's lower our requirements. If we recruit people based on Xu Weichang's talent, we won't be able to find many in this life."
"Hahaha, I was excited for a moment and thought they were all talented people. I was greedy enough." It seemed that I had gone astray and quickly changed the topic: "How many people have been recruited?"
"General Qi, we have recruited thirty-nine people, all of whom are poor."
This speed is a bit slow, and Liu Xiang feels that the price needs to be increased.
"Let's do this. First, these monks will be recruited as bachelors, with an annual salary of forty stones. From now on, they will be given a salary to show their support for their studies. The monks recruited in the future will receive this treatment. After the establishment of the Mongolian School,
The school does not charge any fees except for the husband's wedding ceremony.
Let those bachelors study the textbooks for enlightenment, and I will also ask some doctors of the Five Classics. You should also inquire about their wishes from the students in the academy and the students from Zhuo County. Don't be impatient, just take your time."
"only."
After learning about the progress of recruiting Mongolian masters, Liu Xiang waved his attendants and scribes to leave. He wanted to show Liu Yu and his son, Tian Chou, and Zhuge Jin a treasure.
"When I was inspecting the south bank of the river embankment, I had a dream. I was guided by the person in the dream. I went to Luoyang and found a valuable treasure in the ruins of Nangong. Lord Bo'an, let's take a look. What should I do with it?
"After that, he opened the wooden box and revealed the jade seal inside.
Liu Yu had never seen the imperial seal before, but this white jade seal with five dragons was exactly the same as the one described in the book. Even the dragon horns repaired with gold and the seal characters engraved on the front were exactly the same.
When I ascended the throne, I did not receive the national seal. I heard that it was lost during the palace upheaval.
This seal was found in Nangong, Luoyang.
It should be true.
Heaven is merciful to me. My clan, surnamed Liu, has found a national treasure. The Liu family has an unbroken lineage. What a blessing!
"What does the general want to do with this jade seal passed down by the Han Dynasty?"
Neither of them mentioned sending him to Chang'an.
As a junior, Liu He would not speak if no one asked him.
Tian Chou and Zhuge Jin, who were specially left by Liu Xiang, knew that the matter was serious and did not dare to speak. They waited quietly for his answer. Zhuge Jin, especially, could not hide his shock.
The Chuanguo Seal had a great influence in the superstitious Han Dynasty. It has been passed down for four hundred years, giving it the orthodox divinity of the Han Dynasty.
Under the gaze of several people, Liu Xiang touched the dragon horn on the seal and said softly: "The destiny is mine, but the time has not yet come. I should keep it secret and accumulate strength. This world, with the surname Liu, was like this before! It is like this now.
!This will also be the case in the future!”
Liu Yu solemnly clasped his hands in salute: "Mountains and rivers are broken, the country is overturned, and generals are needed to raise the Han Dynasty again. This is my Liu family's good fortune! I must keep my mouth shut, keep secrets, follow the Ming Dynasty, and share the righteousness."
Liu He, Tian Chou, and Zhuge Jin immediately saluted: "Keep the secrets carefully, never reveal them, follow the Ming Lord, and jointly demonstrate the great righteousness."
Liu Xiang nodded: "Returning peace to the world is my lifelong ambition. I hope you will work together with me."
"Work hard and die!"
After achieving his goal, he put away the jade seal again. He turned to look at Zhuge Jin and said: "Appoint Zhuge Jin as the official history of Fujie and be in charge of the Fujie seal."
"The last official obeys the order."
The imperial seal, the seal of Youzhou Mu, the seal of General Hussar, and the imperial talisman were all very important. They were given to Zhuge Jin for safekeeping in order to win over people's hearts and make the Zhuge family sincerely devote themselves to his service.
, rather than doing things reluctantly and perfunctorily.
He also hoped to be assisted by Zhuge Kongming one day.
As for whether Zhuge Jin would steal the Imperial Seal? That is nonsense. It is kept in the Qinzheng Palace. The palace gate and the guards at the palace gate are not decorations. Their whole family has moved to Ye County. Where can they go?
?
In fact, he is not too afraid of leaking information. He keeps it secret just because he is used to being cautious and doesn't want to cause trouble.
As long as it is not shown in public, Liu Xiang doesn't care if a few news gets out. He just doesn't admit it, and he doesn't think about using the national seal to proclaim himself emperor now. What can others do to him?
In history, Sun Jian leaked the news and Yuan Shu dared to exert pressure and wanted to take it by force. That was because Sun Wentai was a subordinate of Yuan Gongli.
But he only applied pressure and did not really take action. Sun Jianjian said that there was no such thing. Even if there was a witness, Yuan Shu did not really take it by force. Other princes had covetous intentions and did not really take action.
Later, it was Sun Ce who exchanged the jade seal for soldiers and horses, and the imperial seal passed into the hands of Yuan Shu.
Liu Xiang is different from Sun Jian in history. Even if someone doubts him, who dares to force him? Are you looking for a beating?
And there is no real evidence, so not many people may believe it.
There are many rumors about him. Folks generally believe that he is ten feet tall, has a waist ten inches wide, can eat an ox at a time, and can kill a barbarian in one breath.
He knows how to brag, but he really can't brag to death.
There are legends in Xianbei that he eats people's hearts, and the Qiang and Di tribes say that he is the mighty general who comes riding on a horse of fire and rides away on a white horse.
But the battles that needed to be fought were fought as usual, and they were not seen coming to surrender.
There are also legends that he can use magic, summon thunder and lightning, and control dragons to kill enemies. The Shanyu of Xianbei was bitten to death by the yellow dragon he controlled. The dragon also ate 50,000 barbarians.
Anyone with a normal IQ would believe this. If Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo and others believed this, they would just give Liu Xiang the throne.
Not only him, but other princes also have rumors everywhere, both good and bad. This one is the reincarnation of a long worm, that one is the reincarnation of an eagle, this person has strange phenomena, that person is born strangely, they are not normal people anyway.
Zhang Lu's aunt got pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to Juan Jingshu, and his daughter got pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to two dragons.
There are too many rumors like this. The times are like this, and everyone is obsessed with this.
Besides, the Imperial Seal symbolizes orthodoxy, and no fool would spread the word about Liu Xiang’s possession, because no one can be sure of the outcome, and it might help him win over people, which would be siding with the enemy.
