Chapter 705 Popin

"Why?" Xu Ding glanced at him: "The Duke of Zhou's overlord's mansion will be established here, and many institutions in the imperial court will set up branches here one after another, and even have permanent offices. Is it strange that the Imperial College occupies a piece of land here?"

The aides were tongue-tied, pointing to the scene before them, unable to speak for a while.

Guo Ning is a pure warrior, and he likes to be crisp and orderly.His perception of Zhongdu is also negative.

From Guo Ning's point of view, the entire Zhongdu City, whether it's Han'er or Jurchen, whether it's aristocrats or Confucian scholars, has become full of stagnation with the decline of Dajin.Over the past few decades, several emperors have been busy grabbing power, countless bureaucrats have colluded with each other, and most of them have already become bastards rolling in the quagmire.

So when Guo Ning was in Zhongdu, he had been stationed in his Marshal's Mansion, which was like a military fortress.When the emperor fell to his death at the gate of Marshal Du's Mansion, he didn't even want to stay in Marshal Du's Mansion. In the past two months, he has been stationed in Wuqing Camp in the north of Zhigu Village.

After Guo Ning became the Duke of Zhou and established his ruling power, many officials privately proposed that Duke Zhou should follow the example of Cao Wei and Northern Qi, and set up another hegemony outside the central capital to gradually build the foundation of the new dynasty.Guo Ning agreed with their opinions, but did not follow the majority's thinking and choose a certain big city with a good shape.

He decided to knead the many city wharfs near the so-called Jiuhe River near Zhigu Village into a whole, and make it the place where Zhou Guogong stayed.The entire area includes Baodi, Wuqing, Xianghe, and Guoyin counties in Zhongdu Prefecture, Xin'an County in Bazhou, and Jinghai County in Qingzhou.

Regarding the name of this domineering mansion, Guo Ning had privately consulted many important ministers for their opinions, and Xu Ding also had some ideas in it.Guo Ning integrated everyone's ideas, and finally made a decision, calling this new city "Tianjin Mansion".

The word "Tianjin" has a lot of background.

One comes from the alias of Tianjin River, the alias of Lushui between Wuqing County and Zhigu Village.

Second, the Ding Navy relies on sea trade to rise, and its control area also surrounds the Bohai Sea, as if the nine stars in Tianjin are horizontal in Tianhan.However, there is a saying in "Qian Xiang": "Nine stars in Tianjin move brightly, and the soldiers rise up like quicksand, and the dead are like messes."

Thirdly, the name of Tianjin also implies the implication of Tianzi Jindu, which is really in line with the secret expectations of the officials.

Now that the Overlord's Mansion is about to be established, many institutions in Zhongdu City are making preparations for relocation.During the relocation process, Zhou Guogong was naturally able to abandon many of the decadent opinions emanating from the central capital city, and make modifications according to his own needs.

Among these institutions, Guozijian is not the largest.

According to the rules of Dajin, the place to raise scholars is called Guozijian, and it was first placed in Tiande for three years.Since then, the state has successively customized, setting up positions such as doctorate in Guozixue, teaching assistant, professor, and Guozi collation.In the Guozijian, there are often hundreds of Fu and Jingyi students, and hundreds of primary school students.For the clan, relatives, and even the children of high-ranking officials above the third rank to study here.

Today's Zhongdu city suffered several military disasters, the clan, relatives, and high-ranking officials of the Dajin Kingdom suffered heavy casualties, and the Imperial College and even the affiliated Taixue had very few students.Not to mention that in the capital city of China, prefectural schools and prefectural schools in various places have long been abandoned.

Earlier, there was a motion in the capital city, saying that it was difficult for the times, and there were many years of history, so the divergence between officials and careers was wide, and the vulgarity of luck became more and more fierce, so that the army worked hard, miscellaneous orders and salary, and the family was shaded. The right post, one after another living in the direction.Almost because of the eagerness to achieve success, it is inevitable.However, if the center of the imperial court is to be stable, it is still necessary to set up scholars to support scholars, and use both civil and military skills.

This kind of statement is obviously a secret criticism of Guo Ning's practice of citing veterans as officials.It seems that the death of Zhang Xingjian will not make everyone understand the situation.Guo Ning didn't bother to pay attention at all.

Of course, he also understands that the political level of veterans is indeed limited.

With the sudden expansion of Dinghai's control area, a large number of officials were urgently promoted during these days, but a considerable number of them were unqualified, so that local government affairs stumbled.Among the officials, there are those who act rough and mistreat the people under their control, some who are so confused that they are deceived by others, and what is annoying is that once they become officials, they let themselves go, corrupt and even bully men and women.

Such a situation cannot be managed only by severe punishment afterwards.So Confucian scholars are right in saying that a regime needs to have channels to continuously produce talents and needs a unified governance concept from the bottom up. To achieve this goal, you still have to read the sage books.

But Guo Ning will not place the channels for cultivating talents in the hands of others, at least not in the immediate future.As for the methods and rules for cultivating talents, Guo Ning must have the final say.

After confirming the place where the Bafu was to be established, he immediately made a decision to remove the Guozijian from it and put it under the direct control of the Bafu.

What Xu Ding and others saw was the newly established Guozijian.

Although the Guozijian has just begun to be built, some facilities are ready-made, and some newly built buildings from scratch have already begun to see scale.What surprised Na Cong was that in the Imperial College, apart from the continuous school halls, there was also a school yard, and even a huge pool that was expanded from the original pond, and a boat was parked in the pool!
"My great gold builds the country with martial arts, governs the country with literature, and pays attention to the combination of civil and military methods. For example, the governors of the capitals and Jiezhen prefectures in various places are known as military generals, who also manage government affairs. In this case, military personnel must be proficient in civil governance, and literati must be proficient in civil affairs. What's wrong with being familiar with military equipment?"

Xu Ding raised his hand and gestured to the disciples: "Look, there are scheduled to be as many as a thousand students in this campus, with half of civil and military students. Most of the scholars come from the local and provincial examinations, and they go as usual. Poems, policy theory, scriptures, and the law; while warriors are purely selected from the army to be loyal and brave fighters. There are many overlaps between the two disciplines. Scholars must practice galloping, galloping, marching, and even military history. And so on; warriors must also recite scriptures and pass basic calculations, laws and other tests."

"This... This kind of practice seems to be unprecedented in the previous generation? Actually, it is not in line with the rules of Daikin, right? Is there no..."

"The talents Zhou Guogong wants are those who can follow him to govern the country and the world; the rules that Zhou Guogong wants are the rules that can help him govern the country and the world. This domineering mansion that rose out of thin air represents that Zhou Guogong is not subject to any restrictions. Who dares to go against the determination to achieve your own goals?"

"As for Daikin's rules..."

Speaking of this, Xu Ding gave a wry smile: "Back then, the Emperor Taizu of the Dajin raised troops from the banks of the Hutong River, spread his troops across the Liao territory with thousands of people, and established a great country. What rules did the Dajin have at that time? In recent years , Dajin was mixed with Liao and Song Dynasty, and the system was gradually completed, but the country’s situation was in decline. If Zhou Guogong hadn’t risen, half of the Dajin would have fallen into the hands of Genghis Khan. What about the Jurchen Wanyan Department back then?"

"Duke Zhou has a talent bestowed by heaven, so what he sees is far-reaching. He is afraid that it will cause controversy and be taken advantage of by the false emperor."

"Since the rise of Dajin and Mongolia depends not on rules but on martial power, who has the right to tell Zhou Guogong which set of rules will work? Since Zhou Guogong has done this, in three to five years, he will have scholars who allow Wen Yunwu Thousands of people, with these thousands of people as disciples, what kind of material objections can't be suppressed? What kind of political strategy can't be pushed?"

Xu Ding steered his horse towards the construction site, and continued: "Besides, the role of the Imperial College is not only to teach the students themselves...Look at that ship."
