Chapter 71 Temple See 2
"The Chu State's Dingkou may be three million, while the Qin State's Dingkou is more than one-five million. How can one win with one-to-five? Culture and education." Xiong Jing's big tone said, "The people of the country are the most difficult, and the ministers of the "The people of the country" can accept it, and there is no suspense about the two behind it.
"The new and new thing is made: one is paper;" A whole piece of paper was taken up by the temple's people. It is more than one meter long and nearly one meter wide. "The bamboo abbreviation requires cutting, cutting, and baking. Each blank bamboo slip costs half a coin, and half a coin can only be written in two or thirty words. The price is too high. Different papers, although a piece of paper costs a count of money, it can be written in tens of thousands of words. After writing the front, it can be written in the reverse. It is very cheap.
In addition to paper, there are also instruments for printing books, which can be made into hundreds of books in one night without copying by a clerk. In addition, the boys of our Chu State, regardless of gender, can be learned at the age of eight and have a career at the age of eleven."
"No matter whether it is male or female, you can learn at the age of eight?!" The ministers were shocked by this request before they could flatter the king.
"What, is it not feasible?" Xiong Jing looked at the ministers. Apart from teachers, there was no difficulty in popularizing education.
"Tell the king, the number of boys in Chu is very large. If you don't distinguish between men and women, you can learn at the age of eight and get a career at the age of eleven, and you may have a number of five to six hundred thousand, five to six hundred thousand, how can you teach them?" Si Huishi Jue jumped out. In this era when the average life span is less than thirty years old, minus babies under the age of three who died prematurely, even if there is no 600,000, there will be 500,000 even if there is no 600,000. If you teach one person, it will take 500,000 to 60,000 men. This is definitely not something that can be solved in a short period of time. The amount of money you spend is tens of thousands.
"The affairs of culture and education are more important than military preparations." Xiong Jing decided to say. "The people's tribute and tuition, and the annual entry of the Great Mansion can all be used for cultural and education. The expenses of the Chu army and the cost of the royal palace can also be used for cultural and education..."
"King..." Someone who took the lead among the ministers knelt down one by one. A group of officials from Lu burst into tears and shouted: "King, a wise king!"
Confucius' teachings are already praised by the world. The king wants to "learn regardless of gender, but at the age of eight", so they can only kneel down.
"The ministers are exempted from courtesy, and the unscrupulous words have not been finished." Xiong Jing had no joy on his face. What he wanted to teach was not the sour Confucianism, Confucius' stuff. This was just a quick education, not a noble education. "The people of Lu should teach elegant language, the people of Song should teach Song language, the people of Wu teach Yi, the people of Wu teach Yi, the people of Yue teach Yi, and the people of Chu teach Chu language."
The officials in Lu began to change their faces, and Xiong Jing continued: "The books that boys learn are either selected from the Five Classics or the Various Classics, and they are not the same. In addition to books, there are also martial arts, mathematics, medicine, rituals, or archery."
"My king must not." The people of Lu who were so grateful that they were shed, stood up with righteousness again. "The people of Song teach Song, the people of Yi teach the English, and the more people teach the English, the more they teach the English, the more they teach, the more they speak, and this is absolutely impossible!"
"Why not?" Xiong Jing had to stop.
"The world has been in the same language and chariots and tracks for a long time, but the countries are in chaos, so the books are different and different. The king ordered the barbarians to teach the barbarians. Those who are barbarians are not taught their elegant language. How can they educate them?"
Even though he was far away, Xiong Jing could still smell Meng Zhao's sour and rotten aura. After listening to him patiently, he asked: "Why do the barbarians have barbarians, so why do you want to teach elegant language? Do we also want to teach elegant language?"
"King..." Meng Zhao laughed secretly, "...The king also spoke elegantly."
"Then I will speak Chu language." Xiong Jing also laughed, but his voice changed and it was already Chu language. Although it was not very authentic, it was Chu language. "In the future, Chu ministers would speak Chu language, Yi ministers would speak Yi language, Yue ministers would speak Yue language, Song ministers would speak Song language."
"King, this is inconvenient!" More ministers gave advice, not all of them were from Lu.
"Then I will speak Chu language all, and Lu also teach Chu language, so that's the case. Could it be?" Xiong Jing still smiled.
"The king cannot." Meng Zhao stood up and said no. "Elegant words, all countries in the world will do it, and our Chu State teaches elegant words..."
"I, Chu State, teach Yayan, and then wait for the Qin people to attack the city and siege?" Xiong Jing glared at him, "After siege, I, Chu people, can understand any orders of the Qin people? You said, are you a spy from the Qin people?"
"King, I am definitely not a spy." Meng Zhao somehow became a spy in Qin.
"If you were not a spy, why did you have to let me learn elegant language to help others attack and govern? Who is this spy?" Xiong Jing still asked. His purpose of teaching local dialects is the same as that of the Russians. Yan Xishan's narrow-gauge railway is the same as that of the same. Homogeneity is easy to rule, while heterogeneity is difficult to rule. Li Zicheng could bribe the official army in the late Ming Dynasty when the war was fought, but he could not bribe the Liaodong official army. The reason was that the Liaodong official army could not understand the Shaanxi dialect at all, and he could not bribe the Shaanxi dialect even if he wanted to.
"King, Meng Zhao is definitely not a spy." Other county magistrates and Yi Yin stood up to guarantee Meng Zhao.
"The Lu people decided on Lu's land. Other places teach elegant language and teach foreign languages, and they can ask the people of the country. What are the people of Chu who teach me? I have nothing to do with the people of Lu." Xiong Jing scolded. "What do people in each county say? What do people teach me? This is to teach people based on customs and is the simplest. Do you have to teach foreigners to speak elegant language? And cultural affairs, Lu people teach people in Lu, Chu people teach people in Chu, Song people teach people in Song, and the more people teach people in the more people, and the more people the barbarians teach people, it is absolutely necessary to not be confused."
No one dared to speak, and the people of Lu were no longer excited before. They even hoped not to implement this kind of cultural and educational policy, because once the Song people, the Yi people, and the Yue people were all literate, then there would be no possibility of Confucianism to educate. However, the people of Lu could only influence the affairs of Lu, and could not affect the affairs of the whole country, especially the new king advocated teaching according to customs.
"In terms of cultural and educational affairs, we should use the financial, material and manpower of each county and town to promote it. If it is insufficient, Yingdu will make up for it. In this case, the examination for literary servants this year should be held as scheduled. However, this is not a national choice, but a selection of county and town. For example, if five people are admitted in each county, five people will be selected from the candidates who are admitted to the examination in the county. People in other counties should not be faked or replaced, and this has nothing to do with talent and knowledge."
After explaining the cancelled literary servant test, Xiong Jing asked according to the rules: "Is the policy of cultural education okay?"
"I respectfully accept the order!" Jiao Yayan is a spy. No one wants to be a spy, and all the ministers are ordered.
"The land of Lu does not carry out witchcraft, so whether the government of ghosts and gods is practiced in Lu, and whether it is not slander or forced. However, what is not slanderer or forceful is not related to the people of Lu." Xiong Jing picked out the land of Lu from the beginning. "The land of Lu knows that other places all value witchcraft, county witchcraft, town witchcraft, and noble people have private witchcraft. This is the custom of various places, and scholars and people believe that everything in the world has gods, so the land of the world believes that there must be witchcraftcraft, and there must be witchcraftcraft, and there must be witchcraftcraft, and there must be witchcraftcraft, and there must be witchcraftcraft, and there must be witchcraftcraft, and there must be witchcraftcraft, and there must be witchcraftcraft. However, today, witchcraft has no clear literature and teaching scriptures, no clear literature and teachings, and no place for education. This is a mistake.
The most urgent task is that the witch should compile teachings and clarify the teachings, and build a place for education. The Chu State's annual entry is limited, but education focuses on education, not on the palace. A piece of open space can also gather people to teach. The most important thing is how to teach, how to teach..."
The State of Chu was originally a state of great power. The King of Chu was a spiritual practitioner in all dynasties, namely the commander of the great wizard, and the commander of the ruling Yin was the "yin" of the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the "yin" of the gong Yinzhong, which meant "the chief of the priests". After secularization, he became an official part-time job. Xiong Jing removed the people of Lu outside to discuss the affairs of witchcraft. In fact, they did not remove them from the outside, and they did not dare to oppose the "respecting ghosts and gods" policy of Chu. At most, they opposed it in Lu.
‘Respecting ghosts and gods’ is the only new policy that has not been interrupted. After Xiong Jing finished speaking, the ministers shouted: “I respectfully accept the order!”
Afterwards, they bowed and walked out of the court, and the ceremony at the temple ended. However, before these people returned to their mansions, someone shouted on the street: "The king will carry out a new policy, what is a new policy? People in the court pay attention to culture and education, and worship ghosts and gods..."
"Who is making noise?" Chen Jian was closing his eyes to rest on the four-wheeled ox cart. He saw that he was standing for a long time in the temple. He was already exhausted when he heard the harsh "Chaoguoren" again, and he opened his eyes again.
"Report to the county duke, it's..." The attendant who was accompanying the car opened the window and looked out of the car, saying, "It's a yellow brocade with words written on it."
"Huang Jin?" Chen Jian knew that this was the so-called paper as soon as he thought about it. "Look."
A piece of yellow paper was pasted on the wall on one side of the intersection. The minor officials stood on it, and a bunch of scholars surrounded them to look closely. Perhaps the young scholars were overjoyed by the reopening of literary servants, so a few people were shouting. Of course, not everyone was happy. After seeing the "contemporary people" and the "concentrated culture and education", all the wandering scholars were disappointed. In the future, all the officials were appointed and removed from the country, and they would no longer recommend them to the powerful ministers. Even if they were to be a teacher, they would not understand the local dialect at all.
"So fast!" Chen Jian looked at the treasure seal of the King of Chu covered on the paper and sighed very quickly. "Get out of the city and go to Shouling Junyi."
"Look at Tang Duke, this is the king's new policy." Some people got the printed new policy documents, but some people didn't. Shouling Jun was handing over several new policy documents to Tang Sui, Yu Qing, Zhu Guan and others,
"What is this?" Unlike Jinbo, but... Yu Qing asked curiously.
"This is paper, made by the king. There is still a kind of printing tool that can be made into hundreds of books in one night," explained Xiangchengjun.
"Paper? Very convenient." Tang Sui and others nodded repeatedly.
"Duke Tang, let's see what the king's new policy is." Whether it is paper or printing tools, they are not the focus of Shouling Jun's attention, but he is concerned about the new policy.
"This is a policy of lenient people." Tang Sui said after reading this. "Although he respects ghosts and gods..., this is a custom of Chu, and there is nothing wrong with it."
"However, this is also a policy of removing money." Tang Sui was the oldest, and Zhu Guan only spoke after he finished speaking.
"What is the policy of removing money? Please teach me?" Shouling Jun bowed quickly.
"If you do this, you will discuss major matters with the people of the country. The county magistrate, the county magistrate, the monarch, and even the king are all subject to their control." Yu Qing explained. "If the monarch is not good to the people in the fiefdom... what will the result?"
