Lu Xuan heard Lu Meng's words and chuckled: "Zheng Xuan has already reported to me what you mentioned after returning to Nanjing. The Five Classics Museum will be moved back to Nanjing and then promoted nationwide."
Lu Meng said sternly: "Your Majesty, there is no problem in promoting it in the name of the imperial court. But promoting it in the name of the imperial court involves a wide range of areas, the process is complicated, and the speed is slow. I don't know if it will be implemented in the year of the monkey and the horse and the moon."
Lu Xuan asked: "What do you mean?"
Lu Meng quickly said: "I believe that under the premise of the imperial court's unified promotion of the Five Classics Museum, if the local government has this desire, they can first establish their own schools. The Jingzhou area has prosperous commerce, many scholars, and relatively good finances. Therefore, I suggest that local governments be allowed to
Let’s take the first step to establish the Jingzhou Five Classics Hall.”
Lu Xuan was thinking in his heart.
The Jingzhou Five Classics Museum was also funded by the government to support the scholars in Jingzhou.
The name Jingzhou Five Classics Museum does not sound very good.
After Lu Xuan thought about it, he said: "In that case, let's do a pilot project in Jingzhou. Instead of establishing a Five Classics Hall in Jingzhou, Jingzhou University will be established as a government-run school in Jingzhou, specializing in training scholars."
"The reason why we use the name 'University' is because of the article "Greater Learning" in the Book of Rites, which expounds the way of university and determines the way of self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country and peace of the world, which is exactly the path of spiritual practice for scholars."
"The finances of Jingzhou University, the money and talents needed are the responsibility of Jingzhou itself."
Lu Xuan made arrangements.
If changes are to be made, then adjustments should be made, starting with Jingzhou, to promote the development of education. Zheng Xuan wants to integrate resources from across the country and promote the Five Classics Museum across the country, but he can also continue to be responsible, as long as it does not affect the establishment of universities in various places.
In fact, not every place has the ability to establish it, that is, only places like Jingzhou, with many scholars and good finances, have this foundation.
In Bingzhou, Youzhou and other places, even if you can raise enough money, it will be difficult to find enough great scholars to teach.
Lu Meng said happily: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Lu Yu sat aside, looking thoughtful, but didn't say much.
After Lu Xuan and Lu Meng talked and finalized the matter of Jingzhou University, Lu Meng got up and left, leaving Lu Xuan and Lu Yu in the room.
Lu Xuan asked: "Yu'er, you looked thoughtful just now, and even hesitated to speak. Is there anything you want to say?"
Lu Yu replied: "Father, I just heard Governor Lu's suggestion to establish a university in Jingzhou. Governor Lu's original intention and purpose is to develop Jingzhou, and the starting point is naturally good. However, I think there are some problems.
"
Lu Xuandao: "What's the problem?"
Lu Yu replied: "Jingzhou establishes Jingzhou University and trains more scholars. Naturally, all of them will be in Jingzhou. As a result, will it cause a problem? The power of local officials in Jingzhou is easily too strong. Once they are exploited by someone with intentions, this is
A big problem."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, with approval in his eyes.
His son is very thoughtful and is naturally interested in politics. In fact, in the current environment, scholars are scarce and scholars are very valuable. Therefore, the establishment of Jingzhou University will indeed cause the problem of scholars gathering in Jingzhou, which will further
Enhance Jingzhou's strength.
For Lu Xuan, it was a small problem.
Lu Xuanxiao asked: "Let you solve it, how do you want to solve it?"
A thoughtful look appeared on Lu Yu's green and immature face, and he said: "Father, the easiest way is to temporarily ban it and still make unified arrangements in the name of the imperial court. At which stage we have reached, let's talk about which stage. I would rather
A little slower, but also a little more steady.”
Lu Xuan said seriously: "This arrangement is just a middle-of-the-road strategy."
Lu Yu asked: "My son is stupid and cannot think of the best strategy. May I ask my father, what if I choose the best strategy?"
Lu Xuan explained: "One size fits all, or direct blockage can only solve temporary problems. It is very necessary to build universities in various places, because it takes ten years to cultivate trees and hundreds of years to cultivate people. Only by the continuous emergence of talents, each generation will become stronger than the previous generation."
, the Ming Dynasty will become stronger and stronger.”
"After the talents withered, the officials in the court had little knowledge, had no overall view, and did not have the broadmindedness of the rulers. The Ming Dynasty would be defeated sooner or later."
"For example, He Jin is a butcher."
"Such a person has no ability to govern the country, but he becomes one who governs the country and has a great influence on the Han Dynasty. If He Jin was a capable person, Dong Zhuo would not have come to Beijing, and he would have been able to suppress the eunuchs."
"As long as the Master is strong, his life may be extended for a while, and he may be able to revive."
"So, we must continue to cultivate talents."
Lu Xuan explained his ideas and said: "It is very important for you to be in power in the future. Any of the six ministers and important ministers in the cabinet must step up from the local level."
Lu Yu said: "My son, please remember your father's teachings."
Lu Xuan continued: "Getting back to the topic, you are asking about the best strategy. It is actually very simple. Jingzhou establishes universities and cultivates talents. To solve this problem, we only need to attack the source."
Lu Yu's big black eyes widened, with a look of curiosity on his face, and he asked: "Father, how do you pinch the tip?"
Lu Xuan said: "The imperial court established the Five Classics Museum to cultivate scholars from poor families to compete with the powerful families in the world. When a steady stream of scholars from poor families are enriched in the local area, the power of the powerful families will definitely be weakened."
"These officials from humble noble families are an emerging class."
"A humble group and a powerful family are bound to conflict."
"Even after a poor family transforms into a powerful one, and another poor family appears in the blink of an eye, it will continue to iterate. As long as the channels for growth are not blocked, there will be no complacency."
Lu Xuan tried his best to instill ideas into Lu Yu.
Although the position of emperor is a one-word promise, Lu Xuan doesn't like to be restricted.
It's good to leave this kind of thing to my son.
Lu Xuan continued: "Originally, the Five Classics Hall conducted its own assessments, and after the imperial court approved them, I would conduct assessments and host banquets in Qionglin Garden. Now, with the establishment of universities in various places, adjustments can be made."
"The examination of scholars by the Five Classics Hall or local universities is only an entry threshold. Only those who pass the examination can get the opportunity to be examined by the imperial court."
"Scholars can only be assigned official positions and assigned to local posts after passing a unified assessment by the imperial court."
"This is about selecting the best of the best, and it's also about pinching the top and taking away the best talents."
"You are worried that universities will be established in various places, and the talents will remain in the local areas. But the imperial court will open subjects to recruit scholars, and gather these most powerful talents into the imperial court."
"At the same time, these people are disrupted and sent to various places. The final result is that the establishment of universities in various places is only to cultivate talents, and the arrangement of talents is still the choice of the imperial court."
Lu Xuan said: "In short, you have established one more link and cut off the threat of excessive influence of local universities."
Lu Yu looked thoughtful and said sincerely: "Father is wise!"
Lu Xuan urged: "When you do things, you can't always think about one size fits all, and you can't think about blocking. This is never the optimal solution. When you encounter a problem, you must first solve it from the source, solve it fundamentally, and think outside the original circle.
"
Lu Yu said: "My son, please remember this."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "As long as you understand, think more and read more, and ask more if you have any questions."
Lu Yu nodded solemnly and changed the topic: "Father, the matter in Jingzhou has been resolved. Where should we go next?"
Lu Xuan said: "Now that you are out, let's take a walk and take a look. Have you been to Yizhou?"
“Been there!”
Lu Yu nodded in reply.
Lu Xuan asked: "Where is Liangzhou in the Western Region?"
Lu Yu shook his head and said, "I haven't been there."
Lu Xuan said: "In that case, let's go to Liangzhou in the Western Regions and take a look at your crown prince and tutor Jia Xu. This time we go to the Western Regions and let him step down from his post and reassign someone to serve as the governor of Liangzhou."
Lu Yu's eyes jumped with joy and he said: "My son, listen to your father."
Lu Xuan said: "Go ahead, if you want to go out for a walk and take a look, let Xu Chu go with you. Remember, safety is extremely important when you go out, and you can't make any mistakes."
"My son, I obey!"
Lu Yu became happy.
He followed Lu Xuan all the way and was very cautious in every move he made. Now that he had the opportunity to go out and play by himself, he was very happy.
Lu Yu saluted Lu Xuan and stepped back.
Lu Xuan sat alone in the study, thinking about things in Liangzhou.
Because of Lu Meng, the military business in Jingzhou was banned and liquidation was completed. Next, the government will be responsible for industries related to people's livelihood to ensure the stability of people's livelihood.
Jingzhou is stable, followed by other states.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan also thought about the candidate for the governor of Liangzhou, and said: "Come here, inform Zhou Yu to come to discuss the matter."
The soldiers went to inform him, but it didn't take long for Zhou Yu to arrive.
Lu Xuanxiao said: "Gongjin, you have been looking at Yu'er during this time, what do you think of this son-in-law?"
Zhou Yu said: "The prince is benevolent and filial, and he has a strategic mind, determination and vision. The prince's experience in these years has been very successful. From this point of view, your Majesty made an effort to let the prince worship Zheng Xuan as his teacher and let him
Traveling with Zheng Xuan is the right choice."
Lu Xuan said: "With Gong Jin's words, I feel relieved."
He changed the topic and said: "The situation of Xuzhou's army doing business and the situation of Jingzhou's army doing business are different. However, they are prohibited no matter what. Next, I will go to the Western Regions for a trip, and you will be responsible for the adjustment of the army.
, I stopped going to Liangzhou and returned to Nanjing to issue an order from the Governor-General’s Office, ordering the army to prohibit business, which is an express prohibition.”
Zhou Yu said: "I obey the decree."
He changed the subject and said: "It happens that the division of military regions has been drawn up. I will make further arrangements after I return. When His Majesty returns to Nanjing, he will order adjustments. After all, when it comes to the adjustment of garrison in each state, we still have to summon each one for consultation."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "It is indeed necessary to summon the local garrison generals first. In addition, Huang Zhong will go back with you to help you arrange things."
"Here!"
Zhou Yu answered immediately.
He bowed, stood up and left.
Lu Xuan arranged everything, and spent the next two days in Jingzhou, mainly taking Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others to visit the countryside to understand the lives of local people.
What I saw and heard in Jingzhou was very good.
The local people have food stored in their homes and a little savings, and their lives are getting better and better.
This is what Lu Xuan hopes to see.
After resting for two days, Lu Xuan took Lu Yu, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun You, Yang Xiu and others to leave, heading towards Liangzhou in the Western Region.
