At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

But the scholars obviously hated Wei Guo Taixue more than Eastern Han Dynasty Taixue, so that they widely resisted Wei Guo Taixue and were unwilling to enter Taixue to study.

And this situation started from the era of Yecheng Academy.

This is not without reason.

First of all, there are a large number of children from poor families in Wei Guo Taixue, which was expanded from Yecheng Academy.

Everyone knows that Guo Peng relied on the children of the poor family to start his family. It is not unexpected that he will use the children of the poor family after the founding of the country.

So although they have opinions, they are not to the point of resisting Taixue.

But what they didn't expect was that in addition to a large number of lowly and humble children in Taixue, there were actually those mud-legged people who seemed to them to be extremely humble.

This makes them unacceptable.

They feel that it is impossible to be educated with these mud legs, and feel that the surrounding air will be polluted by the dirt on these mud legs.

How can noble scholars be educated together with lowly mud legs?

What are you kidding? !

They also deserve to be educated? !

Scholars burn incense when they travel at home, so that their bodies are fragrant. Everyone is clean and very comfortable, just like Xun Yu in those days. will dissipate.

It can be seen how fragrant the scholars are.

Who knows what dirty things haven't been washed off these muddy legs?

dirty!

Therefore, from the beginning when a mud-legged person entered the Yecheng Academy and began to study in the Yecheng Academy, the children of scholars began to widely resist the Yecheng Academy. Even if the Academy became the Taixue, there was no change.

In fact, the requirements for Li Shu's children to enter Taixue are still very strict.

Government officials such as the township head or village head must be eligible to enter the selection level, and not only must they know a certain number of characters, but they must also make certain political achievements, have certain assessment standards, and go through untold hardships before they can enter the academy .

When they entered the academy, they themselves were officials of the Wei Empire.

When Guo Peng decided to allow township chiefs or village chiefs who had made outstanding achievements to study in the academy, many of the Lishu children who had broadened their horizons through literacy and being an official were quite excited.

Even if they knew that they could not serve as chief officials at the county level after graduation, but could only enter the county government as assistant officials to the magistrate and county magistrate, they were equally excited.

Entering the county to become an official is already a great leap for them.

Being an official in a county is completely different from being an official in a village.

They were very pleasantly surprised, while the scholars and bureaucrats were quite unhappy.

It's just that this was the convention of the year.

Because when Guo Peng established the rural system to implement the farming system, there were indeed not enough officials to take on so many things, and the powerful died in large numbers, and the scholars and officials did not bother to directly contact those mud-legged Li Shu.

So simply let Li Shu, who is a little bit smarter, manage himself, the village chief and the township chief, let alone self-government.

They are aloof and enjoy the political power of the central government, and they don't care.

Originally in the local area, the tyrants owned large-scale land and manors and had a lot of wealth. Scholars often did not own a lot of land, but they were educated, held power, and were superior.

Of course, such a situation is not without conditions.

In exchange for their consent, Guo Peng made the condition that officials of Li and Shu origin could only be assistant officials at the county level at the highest level and could not go any higher, thus limiting the promotion path of officials of Li and Shu origin.

Correspondingly, gentry officials start as county magistrates, and there is no ceiling.

This did not arouse wider discussions and boycotts.

It can be said that this was a path chosen under the compromise of the two parties at that time. Everyone thought it was quite suitable, so they never paid too much attention to it.

Because they all know that even if Guo Peng gives these mud-legged people a way out, they can only roll around at the grassroots level forever, and they will never enter the hall of elegance and be locked in the grass-roots level.

But the agreement at that time did not allow these mud legs to enter the school for re-education.

Education is a privilege.

It was Guo Peng who forcibly pushed for the mud legs to enter the school for re-education.

They shouldn't, they weren't born with the privilege.

They should have faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky from generation to generation, sacrificing their lives, building a splendid foundation for the scholars, and allowing the scholars to create without distractions.

Then they can die in obscurity, and the cycle repeats.

They should not be educated.

Especially this high level of education.

The resistance of the scholars was fully exposed in this matter.

Chapter 919 Nine, you are really my best pawns

Logically speaking, Mr. Guo himself was born as a scholar.Although not a top gentry, the Yingchuan Guo family is also a century-old family heirloom.

The Yingchuan Guo family is also a legal family that occupies a place in the central government. The family has had their own plots in the central government for generations.

Although it has nothing to do with Guo Peng, how could a person in power from such a family think of letting those humble mud legs enter the school to study?

What is this for?

The scholars were puzzled and couldn't figure out how Guo Peng would do such a thing.

Just as they don't know that Guo is actually a class enemy hidden among the people, they will never understand why Guo did this.

It doesn't matter, this is not something Guo cares about.

As long as this fact comes true, Mr. Guo will be fine.

But this made many scholars extremely dissatisfied and even annoyed.

The right to receive higher education originally belonged only to the gentry, but later forced to allow some powerful families from poor families to come into contact with it.

As a result, in the troubled times, Guo Peng actually took advantage of the chaos to bring a group of Li Shu into the academy.

The mud-legged Li Shu who is even more humble than the poor family!

Dirty dirt legs to the extreme!

Pooh!

They deserve it too? !

A considerable number of scholars are extremely annoyed by this kind of thing.

Guo Peng let them receive re-education as officials, and after they were cultivated, they were placed in local counties, which gave him a relatively sufficient selection of non-scholar grassroots officials.

This is not only difficult for scholars to accept, but even some children from poor families with powerful backgrounds are quite critical of this.

This is not a minority, or in other words, those who oppose it are the majority, and those who support it, including those who are neutral, are only a minority.

It can be said that this policy is completely unsupported, and was forced by someone Guo with his own prestige after defeating Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in succession.

Still, resistance remains high.

Many people objected and many people resisted. The scholar family felt that this was some kind of dangerous trend of Guo Peng's behavior and had to be interrupted, so they immediately began to spread some remarks and set off rumors, putting Guo in a disadvantageous situation. .

Spreading rumors and manipulating public opinion for self-interest is Guo's housekeeping skill, okay? !

Everyone started their careers like this, and you are doing this against me, are you looking down on my pure and filial son Guo Zifeng, aren’t you?

When I don't know how to operate this process, right?

Back then when I was playing this trick by the small river in Qiaoxian County for a reality show, you were still drinking and drinking and dreaming and dying!

play with me? !

At that time, someone from Guo went to Cai Yong, who was in charge of the work of the academy, to lobby.

A certain Guo, with a lotus flower on his tongue and a fragrant mouth, persuaded Cai Yong to endorse him with his proficient tongue skills and the concept of teaching without discrimination, and kept putting high hats on Cai Yong, making him limping.

Then Cai Yong, who was fooled and limped, came forward as a celebrity to preach the correctness and necessity of teaching without discrimination, explaining the benefits of teaching without discrimination, and his absolute pursuit of following the sage's philosophy.

Then Cai Yong was encouraged by Guo Peng, and with the mentality of a sage of Confucius, he personally gave lectures to low-level officials from Li and Shu, explaining the mysteries of scriptures and meanings, which aroused a lot of attention and heated discussions.

Because of Cai Yong's lofty prestige and his personal support for Guo Peng, the fact that Li Shu entered the academy to study has become an established fact and cannot be changed.

In those days, teaching without discrimination was the magic weapon of the gentry against the nobility.

But no one thought that one day, this magic weapon would be used by Guo to deal with the soldiers.

Through unremitting efforts and persistent struggle, the scholars took hundreds of years to seize the right to receive education from the nobles, and completed the first academic downward transfer.

And this time, someone Guo is also trying to seize the right to receive education from them for the poor family and Li Shu, completing the second academic downward move.

Didn't expect?

If you come out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later!

You bastards, eating the food of the patriarch, pulling banners everywhere as tiger skins, doing nothing but respecting Confucianism, but now you don’t even listen to the words of the patriarch?

No one dared to do this in the past, but now that I do, what can you do to me?

With Cai Yong's endorsement, Guo Peng ordered Chen Lin to output a large number of high-quality articles, closely following the words "education without discrimination", and firmly occupying the moral peak.

They even dispatched naval forces to build momentum for Cai Yong, promoting Cai Yong to the level of a contemporary sage, calling on everyone to learn from him, and insisting on the concept of teaching without discrimination.

As a result, the opposition soon had nothing to say.

Of course, having nothing to say is not support. In desperation, a large number of scholars chose to leave the academy instead of studying in the academy to show their protest and dissatisfaction with Guo Peng.

Some people even publicly declared that they would never serve as officials unless Guo Peng corrected his mistakes.

Someone Guo secretly smiled and gave them a thumbs up.

As far as Guo Peng knows, there are many inside the poor family who are dissatisfied and disturbed by Guo Peng's move.

But they also had no good choice in the face of resistance from scholars.

They were originally the group to be protested, but after someone Guo introduced Li Shu, their problem became a secondary problem instead.

Some scholars urged some children from poor families to protest together.

They fooled some poor children into helping them by promising them to enter the family school, so this group of idiots chose to stand on the side of the scholars and become spiritual scholars, resisted, and were expelled from the school by Guo Peng without any surprise.

Even the family has been implicated——

If it weren't for someone in the family to be an official, they would not have the opportunity to study in the academy.

Guo has no mercy towards idiots.

Can't deal with scholars, can't deal with you?

After going to school for a few days and reading books for a few days, do you think you are a scholar?

In Guo's eyes, he is stupid and will not get a chance to correct himself.

This will prevent more people from being stupid.

After the family members lost their official positions, these idiots realized that they had been tricked. When they went to the scholars for help, only a very small number of them got the opportunity to study in the scholars' homes because they lost their use value.

Most of the people have become Zhu Bajie who is not human inside and out.

The official is gone, and the opportunity to go to school is gone.

After this blow, most of the sober or not sober children from poor families immediately realized clearly that they are not scholars. Without the academy, they would have no place to study, and it would be difficult for them to become officials without learning, so they wisely kept silent. accepted the established fact.

Scholars are already able to be officials, but the poor and powerful cannot be officials without Guo Peng's support. They must be closely united with Guo.

So this established fact is established.

Up to now, the academy has become the Taixue, and the scale of teaching is wider.

Guo Peng carried out reforms in classes and disciplines within the Taixue, and the number of educated nobles and Li Shu officials increased, while the number of scholars' children decreased.

Basically, apart from the Guo family, the Cheng family and the Tian family, few other scholars' children will enter Taixue to study.

Because of the strong support of the emperor, the noble and elegant scholars basically gave up the route of entering the imperial court from Taixue to become officials, so naturally they paid more attention to the investigation, filial piety and talent.

They even declared that only filial piety, honesty and prosperity are the right way to become an official, and the others are crooked ways.

Only by being an official on the path of filial piety and honesty can one become a high-ranking official, and one can only be a minor official if one takes other crooked ways to be an official, and cannot be a chief official.

Because they control public opinion, Guo is unwilling to use Chen Lin, the ultimate weapon, on such matters, so he acquiesces in such matters.
