Lu Xuan looked at the scene of celebrities and great scholars saluting. He was not excited or particularly excited.
He gave Zheng Xuan a meaningful look.
The key lies in Zheng Xuan.
This person's influence among scholars was really great, because this was a generation of Confucianism.
Lu Xuan's father, Lu Kang, was also influential. However, Lu Kang's foundation was his character and loyalty, and he was a model official who was not afraid of death, so he was only a model scholar. However, Zheng Xuan relied on his true talents and practical skills.
Talent conquers everyone.
The more Lu Xuan looked at Zheng Xuan, the more determined he was to keep Zheng Xuan.
This person must stay.
Lu Xuan waited for everyone to stop shouting, and he also stretched his body to return the salute, waved his hands and said: "Masters, please sit down."
Everyone, sit down again.
The atmosphere at this moment has undergone earth-shaking changes, and there is no longer the previous tit-for-tat confrontation.
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Everyone saluted me and thanked me. Lu Xuancheng was frightened and ashamed. But I thought about it. Although new paper has been made, it can be cut and bound into thread-bound books, and countless articles can be printed.
, but it’s far from enough.”
"In other words, the things I do can only allow me to make some money, and if I want to further use it to benefit the people, I can't do it alone because I don't have the ability. To realize the value of new paper, it is not
It’s up to me, but to you all.”
Zheng Xuan still looked solemn.
Among all people, he paid the most attention to education. Because of the turmoil in the world, Zheng Xuan was also giving lectures and teaching.
Of course, Zheng Xuan's preaching and teaching had certain skills. For more teaching, Zheng Xuan arranged for his disciples to be responsible. Zheng Xuan himself was mainly responsible for teaching talented disciples. After all, his energy was limited.
Zheng Xuan's impression of Lu Xuan was very good now, so he took the initiative to ask: "Since Lu Shijun has made new paper and made new books. With Lu Shijun's meticulousness, he must have plans for the next step. What are his plans?"
What to do?"
Lu Xuan said: "Mr. Zheng has a wise eye."
Zheng Xuan looked expectant and said: "If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best."
Lu Xuan's eyes were even brighter.
Zheng Xuan is so awesome.
Lu Xuan was happy in his heart and said directly: "The reason why I said that the value of new paper lies not with me, but with all the gentlemen present, is because I don't know how to teach and educate people, and I don't know how to preach and impart knowledge."
"However, you are outstanding in talents and knowledge. You are good at teaching and educating people."
"So, I plan to build an unprecedented Five Classics Museum in Shu County, Lujiang County. It will be very large and will be dedicated to teaching the five classics: The Book of Songs, The Book of Documents, The Book of Rites, The Book of Changes, and The Spring and Autumn Annals."
"Of course, other content will also be taught, such as the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" that Mr. Zheng is good at, which will also be mixed in."
"Without the new paper in my hand, I can't print books in large quantities. With the new paper in my hand, I can print out a large number of classics, let people borrow books for reading, let people study, and also use them to preach and teach."
Lu Xuan expressed his thoughts.
He has more ideas. He wants the Five Classics Hall to become his talent reserve and wants scholars to learn more. He even wants to lay a solid foundation for future talent selection step by step.
Zheng Xuan said in a deep voice: "Lu Shijun's plan is to build an academy, or is the Five Classics Museum similar to the Imperial Academy?"
"no the same!"
Lu Xuan shook his head in reply.
Zheng Xuan asked: "What's the difference?"
A flash of light flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes and he said: "The scholars in the world mainly come from powerful families. Because all powerful families have their own collections of books and can pass down poems and books to their families."
"Studying is an easy matter for the children of powerful families. It is within reach. Even for children of these big families, it is easy for them to become officials."
"There is no point in further cultivating these people, and it is not something worthy of praise."
"What I want to do is to cultivate more children from poor families so that they can study and change their own destiny through reading."
"Even in the future, I want everyone in the world to be able to afford reading and change their destiny through reading. Let everyone know that books have their own golden houses and books have their own beauty. Reading is the foundation.
.”
Lu Xuan's voice echoed in the hall.
At this moment, many people looked at Lu Xuan with admiration, appreciation, and even some shock.
It is so difficult to make everyone able to read!
Such an investment is too great.
Many people think it is impossible, but Lu Xuan has such an idea and ambition, which is admirable.
Zheng Xuan stroked the gray beard under his chin and asked further: "Lu Shijun has a good idea, but how closely does this idea relate to the Five Classics Hall? In other words, how does Lu Shijun use the Five Classics Hall to implement his idea."
Lu Xuan looked calm and replied: "Mr. Zheng, it's actually very simple. The people recruited by the Five Classics Museum are mainly scholars from poor families, not the children of powerful nobles. Children of powerful families who are willing to come to the Five Classics Museum must pay money."
"However, as long as the poor students studying in the Five Classics Hall are selected, they will be exempted from tuition fees, and will also be provided with accommodation, food and clothing. Once they pass the assessment of the Five Classics Hall, they will be arranged to serve as local officials.
To be a member, one should start from a local official."
"For children from poor families, as long as they do something, even if they are a small official, their destiny has been changed. I hope that more people can change their destiny through continuous reading."
After hearing this, Zheng Xuan took a deep look at Lu Xuan, his eyes brighter than ever before.
Zheng Xuan is proficient in practical matters.
He also understands people's hearts.
Lu Xuan's arrangements are exquisite and very meaningful.
First, because of their background, children from poor families do not have a high vision and need a little bit of tempering. Starting from a young official is the best training for children from poor families.
Secondly, if the children from the poor family passed the examination and were directly assigned to serve as officials in the core, they would occupy the resources of the children of the powerful families and make them enemies of a large number of powerful nobles, which would easily lead to conflicts between the two sides and would be detrimental to Lu Xuan's unification of all forces.
First arrange for them to be small officials in the local area, so as to cultivate their own people and avoid conflicts.
Thirdly, after the children from poor families become officials, most of them cannot be promoted, but a small group of them, through step-by-step promotion, over time, become prominent officials, have power and power, and can naturally compete with powerful families.
Lu Xuan didn't say this. He only said that more people should study. He only said that this was an ideal.
In fact, this has Lu Xuan's trade-off.
When Lu Xuan was looked at by Zheng Xuan, he actually felt like he had been seen through. He cheered up and said proactively: "Mr. Zheng, you have been preaching and teaching. You understand the fundamentals of preaching and teaching, and you also understand the difficulty of being a scholar."
"It takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Studying is an eternal matter. I sincerely ask Mr. Zheng, for the sake of the hardship faced by countless children from poor families, stay in Shu County to build the Five Classics Museum, preside over educational matters, and help me."
"Please help me, Mr. Zheng."
Lu Xuan stood up again, folded his hands and bowed respectfully.
