Chapter 662: The affairs of the world should be based on educational texts
Naturally, Li Yunze didn't know that Liu Ling, who had turned black for revenge, was causing trouble with the Huns.
It doesn't matter if you know it, the Huns' plate is only so big, no matter how hard you try, you can't break through the ceiling.
He is very busy now, and wherever the big man wants to go, he needs to be at the helm.
"His Majesty."
Dongfang Shuo handed Li Yunze a thick pile of documents he had sorted out, "The Hundred Forums have been held for a hundred times, and each school has learned what they can use. I have temporarily summarized it, and please correct it."
Li Yunze, who was sitting on the cushion, looked at the half-foot-thick document on the desk and immediately laughed, "People in the world say that you are a funny actor, but they are all blind. You are talented and willing to do things."
"
Dongfang Shuo's eyes immediately turned red when he said this.
He has a witty personality, quick words, funny and wise, and likes to talk and laugh, but he is regarded as a actor by the world.
Only Your Majesty knows and understands himself.
Li Yunze picked up the pieces of paper and looked through them.
Not surprisingly, the ones placed at the top belong to the Zajia family. After all, Dongfang Shuo himself is from the Zajia family, so when good things happen, he naturally relies on his own school of thought.
"Select nine of the twenty-six chapters in "Pan Yu"."
"Select twelve of the twenty-six chapters of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals"."
"Select seven of the twenty chapters of "The Corpse"."
"Select thirteen of the twenty-nine chapters of "Wei Liao"."
‘…’
Li Yunze carefully read the excerpts from these selected chapters, and even ordered the officials on the side to fetch the original works and deal with them one by one.
Just selecting a Zajia's work takes more than an hour.
As for the final conclusion, "There are too many. I can only select twenty articles at most from various works by miscellaneous scholars. All relevant chapters on philosophy are not required. The last ones selected must also be corrected. More practical and less empty talk."
The master's father had a look of regret on his face, but he still saluted and said "Here."
Putting the Za family's aside, Li Yunze reached out and picked up the documents at the back. This time it was the Legal family's turn.
Li Yunze is not just doing nothing to rank various schools of thought. He has a very profound intention, which is to promote education in the Han Dynasty!
If you want to teach and educate people, you naturally need teaching materials and teachers.
Teachers are easy to talk about, and people from various schools of thought are all backup candidates.
As for the teaching materials, they cannot be taught casually. Li Yunze's permission must be obtained, and the professor must select the pages as teaching materials.
For all schools of thought, this is a matter of life and death.
The works of one's own school can be selected as teaching materials, which is not only a matter of appearance, but also can spread one's own school and let the knowledge of the school be passed down.
If he is not selected, the school will disappear.
It is precisely because of this knowledge that at the beginning of each issue of the Baijia Lecture Forum, hand-to-hand combat breaks out to compete for the opportunity to take the stage, which has become a scene in Chang'an City.
All kinds of good things that we once cherished were taken out by the big bosses of various companies and stood on the podium to promote them vigorously.
It won't work if you don't take it out. If you don't take it out again, you won't have to take it out again.
Therefore, ancient books that were thought to have been lost among many schools have appeared in Baijia Lecture Hall one after another.
Sometimes, even though only fragments are left, the audience still cheers loudly.
It’s not that we don’t want the people in Guizhou to listen. In fact, the people in this era are almost all illiterate, and they can’t understand it.
"Take seven of the nineteen chapters of "Guanzi"."
"Twenty-one of the twenty-six chapters in "Shang Jun Shu" are quite popular."
"Twenty chapters of "Han Feizi", choose eleven."
"Take five of the ten chapters of "Shenzi"."
"Take four of the ten chapters of "Dharma Commentary"."
‘…’
The process is still the same, first read the excerpts, and then let the officials take the books and compare them.
The largest library in the world is actually in the palace.
After all, when they entered Xianyang Palace, all the soldiers were busy grabbing money and girls. Only Xiao He collected and protected books and writings, and thus preserved these precious information books.
All that have been preserved from that time are bamboo slips.
Ever since Li Yunze invented white paper, Emperor Jing started copying while he was still alive. Li Yunze continued this work after he came to power.
At this time, most of the books in the palace had been copied and bound.
As for those original bamboo slips, the more famous ones and some lost ones were sent to the modern world by Li Yunze as souvenirs, while the others were sealed up.
These are all memories of Chinese civilization.
Li Yunze is still arranging manpower for printing. He will only start printing on a large scale after the selected teaching materials are confirmed. The selected ones will be printed in more copies, and the unselected ones will be printed on a small scale for collection purposes.
At least he won't do something like a certain braid, which directly destroys the book.
Boar skins don't care about the memory of Chinese civilization, but it is the real treasure here in Li Yunze.
"Only these seven chapters are left in "Shang Jun Shu". The criminal law is too cruel and harsh and inappropriate."
"Book of Shang Jun" is a summary of Shang Yang's reforms, the core of which is to strengthen the country and weaken the people.
In other words, if you want the country to be strong, you must control the people and make them weak.
Only by making the people obey the law and be honest and honest will it be difficult for the people to form a strong force to fight against the country and the monarch. In this way, the country will be easy to govern and the monarch's position will be firm.
There were many misunderstandings in later dynasties, and with the help of Confucianism, the weak people were directly regarded as ignorant people.
Weakening the people only reduces the power of the people, not turning them all into fools.
In addition, Li Yunze also disliked his propositions such as "human nature is inherently evil" and "heavy punishment but light reward".
There are indeed born villains, but definitely not that many.
Treating people as villains is very disgusting.
Not to mention heavy punishment but light reward, Qin's law is too cruel, especially the continuous sitting system, which is deeply disgusting.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Why should irrelevant people pay for other people's mistakes?
Li Yunze's ideas may be unusual in this era, but he is a time traveler after all, and he is still a time traveler who has nothing to care about, so he is naturally idealistic.
In the opinion of Dongfang Shuo and others, the content of "Shang Jun Shu" should be liked by His Majesty, so they selected so many articles.
Unexpectedly, Li Yunze made drastic cuts without hesitation.
He is not an ordinary emperor. As a time traveler, he does not have the idea of stabilizing the imperial power for eternity.
Compared with power, Li Yunze values the inheritance of Chinese civilization more.
Li Yunze made drastic cuts to many legalist works selected by Dongfang Shuo and others. For example, almost all of the severe punishments were deleted or changed.
It's not that he advocates light punishment, but rather the abolition of unnecessary things.
Just like those who have committed capital crimes, just behead them. There is no need for things like splitting the car, quartering the body on five horses, cutting in half, etc.
There was also corporal punishment. Li Yunze only retained flogging, and all other punishments such as gouging out the eyes, cutting off the nose, and beheading the hands and feet were cancelled.
Those whose crimes are not serious enough to die will either be imprisoned in a dark prison to serve their sentence, or sent to mines to work as coolies, and they will be made to pay the due price.
Li Yunze also specially added an article, which is also one that will be included in the Han Code recently.
'Abolition of fines will reduce crime, and you will be punished for whatever crime you commit. Failure to pay fines will reduce crime. No merit will be offset by demerit. No reduction of sentence will be meritorious.'
If you are sentenced to death, you will be beheaded. If you have great wealth and meritorious deeds, it will be the same for the royal family.
If you go to jail for ten years, you must serve the full ten years, not even an hour less.
Speaking of which, Li Guang was very lucky. Before Li Yunze officially included this article in Han law, he sold off his property and paid the fine, and was able to leave Tingwei's prison.
Although he has become a white man and has lost all his wealth and previous honor, at least he does not have to be locked up in prison for who knows how many years.
In the end, only twenty legalist works were selected.
Moreover, these are first drafts, and they will continue to be corrected and added or subtracted in the future.
Li Yunze wants to promote education. Children who are beginners will naturally learn the knowledge of children. But if they want to learn after they have passed the childhood period, it is these cultures that gather the leaders of hundreds of families.
So this is a very important job, so naturally we take it very seriously.
Just selecting the shortlisted works of Zajia and Legalism, I was busy until the end of the moon.
Li Yunze did not advocate working overtime unless there was an important emergency, so he simply ordered everyone to get off work.
He also doesn't treat his subordinates harshly, and even invites everyone to have a late-night snack before getting off work.
Not only can everyone have mutton to eat, but they can also take a food box back to their families, which gives them extra face.
"I plan to establish an education system in various places for enlightenment and enlightenment. From now on, all people in the world can read and write."
After some due flattery, Dongfang Shuo took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty, how are you going to arrange it?"
"First of all, the county must set up a school in the county. Children of school age in the county, who are over seven years old, must go to the school to receive enlightenment."
Dongfang Shuo immediately said, "Your Majesty, how much does it cost?"
"No money, study for free."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still working on the meal was stunned.
"Children go to school for free, and all the tools, pens, inks, paper, inkstones, books, etc. are provided by the imperial court. As for teachers, they are included in the imperial court and receive salaries. Education should be the basis of world affairs."
‘Hiss~~~’
Dongfang Shuo simply put down his bowls and chopsticks, and all the officials stood up to salute Li Yunze, "Holy Emperor!!"
The emperor's money was not spent on enjoyment, raising more beauties, or building palaces and buildings. Instead, he used it to enlighten the people of the world. There is no doubt that he deserves to be called a holy emperor!
Li Yunze waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"I know that there will definitely be many children who live far away from the county town and will not have time to go to school, so in the future we will have to open schools to the countryside. If that doesn't work, we will open them to pavilions. What is most lacking is not money, but qualified people.
Teachers. So we need to train more teachers as soon as possible
Especially the local people from various places, let them contribute to the enlightenment of children in their hometowns."
Having said this, Li Yunze looked at Dongfang Shuo, "This matter will be left to you. I am going to set up a new department, called the Ministry of Rites, to be responsible for this matter. From now on, you will be the Minister of Rites."
Dongfang Shuo no longer had the playful look on his face, he stood up and bowed respectfully.
