On November 15th, scholars and scholars from all over the world came one after another, as well as some warriors and craftsmen. Liu Cong arranged them all in the post.
"Ding ding ding!"
There was a sound of gold, and I remembered that in the courtyard of Guanyi, Kuai Yue, dressed in official uniform, led a group of soldiers and officials in.
The scholars, warriors, and craftsmen who heard the sound came out of the house. When Kuai Yue saw that the people were almost gathered, he said, "Everyone, this official is Kuai Yue, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Jingzhou."
"Shang Shu?"
"Is it an order from the imperial court?"
The crowd immediately started talking, and Kuai Yue smiled and said, "The Marquis of Chu reorganized Jingchu into three states, and implemented the system of three provinces and six departments. The chief official of one department is Shangshu."
"Restructure?"
"Isn't this betrayal of the imperial court?"
"Three Provinces and Six Ministries System?"
"Quiet!" Kuai Yue shouted, "What kind of system Jingchu implements will be discussed later. There are other important things today. Jingchu is restructuring and there are serious vacancies of officials. Therefore, the lord has announced to the world that the imperial examination will select talents and the best ones will be accepted.
Be an official of Jingchu for me!"
After Kuai Yue finished speaking, the crowd started talking again. A scribe came forward and bowed and asked, "May I ask Shangshu Kuai how to select talents for the imperial examination?"
Kuai Yue smiled and said, "The imperial examination selects talents and assesses the candidates' literature, political opinions, character, etc."
Another young man in coarse linen clothes raised his hands and said, "Shang Shu, I have read the notice from the Marquis of Chu. Can craftsmen also take the exam to become officials?"
Facing the contempt of the literati around him, the young man's expression remained as usual. Kuai Yue said with a smile, "Of course, not only craftsmen, but also warriors. The content of the craftsman assessment is invention. If you can make any sharp weapon that is beneficial to people's livelihood and the military, you will be
You can be admitted. Even if you have some ideas, as long as it is feasible, the lord will hire him at his discretion! The test for a warrior is the ability to lead troops in battle and personal bravery."
"I'm here today to compile the list of candidates who will take the exam, as well as the events that each of you will participate in."
As soon as Kuai Yue finished speaking, the crowd became furious again.
"I want to apply for the Civil Service Examination!"
"I want to apply for martial arts competition!"
"I'm going to apply for the job examination!"
At the same time as the scientific report was registered, the first school outside Xiangyang City was completed. Liu Cong was personally present, as were Sima Hui and Zhang Zhongjing. Another medical school was built next to the school!
"Lord, according to your request, the two universities are named Jingxiang University and Jingxiang Medical College. Jingxiang University can accommodate 3,000 students, with 300 dormitories and 85 classrooms. The size of the medical school is
One-third of it." Ma Su, the newly appointed Minister of Industry, introduced at the side.
Liu Cong nodded happily, looked at Sima Hui and others and said, "I wonder how the three elders' teachers are preparing?"
Sima Hui pointed at the group of scribes behind him and said, "Cui Jun (Cui Zhouping), Shi Tao, Meng Jian and other students of our three old guys, all the students we can call are here."
Cui Jun, Shi Tao, Meng Jian and Xu Shu are collectively called the Four Friends of Zhuge, and they are all talents from the same county!
Liu Cong cupped his hands and said to everyone, "Everyone, you may be the talents of a county or a state. Today, you are all called here by Gu to contribute to the education of Jingxiang. I would like to thank you all again."
."
Cui Jun and others returned the courtesy, "There is no need to say thank you to the Lord of Chu. Rather than being an official, we prefer to express our love for the landscape. Now that we have this opportunity, we should thank the Lord of Chu."
Liu Cong smiled at Sima Hui and the other three princes again, "Sima Gong, Pang De, and Huang Chengyan, I have appointed you as the three principals and deputy deans of the academy. You three will make the final decision on the rest of the appointments in the academy. The Gonghui will follow the rules of the six ministers of Jing and Xiang."
Salaries will be given to three of them, and the rest will also receive salaries based on their positions."
Huang Chengyan raised his eyebrows, "Chu Hou, the three of us are not here for salary."
Liu Cong smiled and said, "Three of you are highly respected, so naturally you won't come here just for money. What you want is the future development of the school. After all, people have to survive. If teachers in the school can't even survive, then how can they teach?"
What about educating people?”
After the three of them considered it for a while, they nodded in agreement.
Liu Cong raised his hand to Zhang Zhongjing again and said, "Sir, I would like to ask you to be the dean of the medical school, the medical school and medical ethics."
Zhang Zhongjing returned the greeting and said, "Don't worry, Lord Chu."
Liu Cong looked at the school and waved, "Everyone, today we will visit the school first. Tomorrow I will make an announcement to the three states, calling on children from all over the world to come to school here. The official start time will be the fifth day of February next year! During this period, everyone can come to Xiangyang.
Sign up! When school officially starts, I’d like to congratulate you all!”
"The Marquis of Chu is wise!"
The next day, Liu Cong's order was posted at more than a dozen city gates and dozens of bulletin boards in Xiangyang.
"This little brother, we are all illiterate, can you help me read what this is?" In front of a bulletin board, the clerk who made the announcement had already left. The illiterate old man turned to the middle man in front of him.
The Nian scribe asked.
The middle-aged scribe smiled bitterly. After reading this announcement, he was shocked and marveled at the generosity of Chu Hou. "Old man, I will read it to you."
The scribe cleared his throat and said, "Sitting alone in Jingchu, I deeply feel that people's livelihood is very difficult. Therefore, we built Jingxiang University and Jingxiang Medical College. The former is to train learned people, and the latter is to train doctors. All people in the world can send them
All the expenses for children's education will be borne by the government. From the day the notice is issued, everyone can register at the school from the fifth day of February next year. If you are not a commoner in Jingchu, but come to Jingchu, the government will allocate land to build houses. In the first three years, you will not be able to register.
Collect taxes!”
"What, we kids from poor families can go to school for free?"
"I came to visit relatives from Jiangdong. The Marquis of Chu said that for those who want to come to Jingchu, they will be given land and no taxes will be collected for three years?"
"The Marquis of Chu is so kind and virtuous."
The people around him immediately became noisy and expressed their gratitude to Liu Cong for his great kindness.
The scribe raised his hands and shouted, "Everyone, the content of the announcement does not stop here. Please continue to listen to me read it."
The people were silent, and the scribes looked at the notice and continued, "Jingchu is divided into three states. Within the three states, powerful families are not allowed to hide their population. All excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes are abolished. Officials are sent to count the population and collect taxes based on the population of each household and real estate. None
Land will be allocated by the government, and no taxes will be collected for the first three years! I hope that the people of Jingxiang will cooperate with the officials in the investigation!"
"Everyone, please wait, there is one more thing." The scribe stopped the people who wanted to cheer again and continued, "In the three states, hospitals and pharmacies are set up. People who are sick can go to the hospital for consultation. The pharmacies collect medicinal materials according to the set prices.
People can buy or sell medicine here!"
After the scribe finished reading, the same old man hurriedly asked, "Is it gone?"
The scribe nodded, "No more."
"Long live the Marquis of Chu! Long live the Marquis of Chu!"
Scenes like this appeared in all the cities in the three states!
Liu Cong, Pang Tong, Ma Liang, Mi Zhu and other six ministers were dressed in regular clothes and stood on the street corner watching the people of Xiangyang cheering. Ma Liang and Pang Tong deeply admired Liu Cong at this moment. Pang Tong can still remember the first time he met Liu Cong.
What Cong said - I'm sorry for how difficult people's lives are!
Pang Tong smiled at Liu Cong and said, "My Lord, among all the princes in the world, the only one who truly puts the people in his heart is my Lord!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Liu Cong chuckled, "The king is the boat, and the people are the water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. If you don't measure your virtue and your ability, you can only do practical things for the people."
The eternal famous saying once again made everyone savor it carefully, "The Lord is wise!"
