Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 139 Rebuild Taixue and open an official college

In the early Western Han Dynasty, the study of Huang Lao was prevalent, and there were no official places to teach academics, only private schools opened by private individuals.It wasn't until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the Confucianism of the Hundred Schools and adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion that he began to establish Taixue in Chang'an, which is an officially established school.

At first, there was only a doctor of the Five Classics in Taixue, and [-] students of the doctor.From Emperor Wu to Xinmang, the number of subjects and the number of students in Taixue gradually increased, and gradually opened "Book of Changes", "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Gongyang Zhuan", "Guliang Biography", "Zuo Zhuan" and "Zhou Zhuan". Official, Erya and other courses.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu said in the virtuous countermeasures: "Tai scholars are the key to the wise men and the origin of enlightenment."

During the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhu Fu wrote a letter to Dr. Guangxuan, saying: "A husband who is a scholar is a palace of etiquette and a place of enlightenment."

The famous scholar Cai Yong at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, Cai Yan’s father, pointed out more clearly: "Tai Xue is regarded as the place where doctoral students teach their careers."

The above all show that the rise and fall of Taixue is directly related to the success or failure of national education.

Moreover, Taixue not only teaches theoretical knowledge, but also consciously increases the social practice links of students.

In the Eastern Han and Western Jin Dynasties, when the emperor held township society ceremonies, the students of rites, that is, all the ether students, took the form of single-subject completion. After the completion of each classic, a Ph.D. presided over the defense.Strictly follow the requirements of each scripture family law, and pay attention to the succession of masters.The defense consists of fifty debate questions, the one with more explanations is the first one, and the one who cites civilization is the high one.If you don't follow your predecessors, those who fight with righteousness will be considered wrong.This is somewhat restrictive for individual students, but as far as the overall academic education is concerned, it is a guarantee for advocating debate among different schools of thought and improving the academic status of different schools of thought.

So why do Chinese people attach so much importance to education that education is so involuntary?Perhaps the seeds were planted more than 1000 years ago...

At that time, because Taixue students supported Chen Fan, Li Ying and others against the eunuchs in power, they were labeled as "partisans". Thousands of Taixue students were arrested, imprisoned, or even executed, and Taixue began to gradually decline.

Later, Luoyang was burned to ashes by Dong Zhuo, and Chang'an was also poisoned by Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and others. The emperor and ministers themselves were in danger, and the Taixue naturally had no way to maintain it. It was closed early until it disappeared completely.

Now that the Great Han court was reborn in Xuchang, what was there before, it must be there now, so the Taiyuan Academy began to be rebuilt under Lao Cao's efforts.

Since the in-depth conversation with Cai Yan that day, Cao Cao's whole person seemed to have rejuvenated, becoming vigorous and energetic, full of energy!

After returning to Xuchang, the first thing Cao Cao did was to pay close attention to the matter of culture and education. Presumably, during the conversation with Cai Yan, the other party mentioned some matters in this regard.

This is what Cao Cao will do in the future, but now it is a little earlier.

The reopening of Taixue is obviously a good thing to revive the emperor's prestige and enhance the status of the Han court in the hearts of scholars, but in fact it is also the first step of Cao Cao and Lu Yan's conspiracy to disintegrate the family's knowledge monopoly.

At first, there were two sources of Tai students: one was directly selected by Tai Chang as "those over eighteen years old and well-groomed"; "Those who have heard", the target is the children of the people.

It was not until the end of the Western Han Dynasty that the children of bureaucrats and aristocrats were required to enter the Taixue to teach.

However, these people have been pampered since childhood, and they have become officials through the "shadow" channel bestowed by privileges, and they lack enthusiasm for schooling and studying.

And folk children who enter Taixue can not only be exempted from corvee and tax, but also can use it as a step in promotion, so they are very motivated to learn.However, although the former Taixue did not charge tuition fees, they still had to take care of their own living expenses. Some students from poor families had to rely on labor to make a living to maintain their studies.

Cao Cao replaced the old selection and local election methods with examinations, which greatly increased fairness.

However, he can only carry out and organize examinations under his own rule, that is, pass examinations in Yanzhou, Yingchuan and Xuzhou to select students to enter Taixue.

Not only the way of admission has undergone major changes, but also the content of Taixue professors. In addition to still teaching classics such as "Book of Changes" and "Book of Songs", more courses such as military affairs and internal affairs will also be carried out.

Education should start from childhood. Although there have been private schools for a long time, private schools are not very good in terms of scale and stability.

Therefore, when the Taixue was rebuilt, official academies would be opened at the same time in various places under Cao Cao's rule.Starting from childhood, it is necessary to seek courses corresponding to each stage, so that children, teenagers, and youths have books to read and paths to find.

Due to the emergence of new paper and the cheap bookstores opened by the Chamber of Commerce, various books have already begun to appear in large numbers among the people.

It is not easy for ordinary people to have the opportunity to read and write, and they naturally cherish it extremely.

Three to five years after the establishment of the Academy and Taixue, Cao Cao will start the imperial examination according to the plan.Once the imperial examination system is formally implemented, the hundreds of years of examination and examination system that has been implemented since Emperor Wendi will usher in its end.There will also be a breach in the monopoly of the gentry and the localities, and the pattern that the humble literati represented by Xi Zhicai most want to see will really appear in front of them!

As mentioned earlier, Taixue recruits common people's children. Although tuition fees are exempted, they don't care about their lives.

The newly opened Taixue or local colleges will take the initiative to provide them with job opportunities, and will also set up a library to provide free books to borrow, so that they can fulfill their dream of studying through part-time work and part-study.

The establishment and reform of Taixue and local colleges will definitely encounter great resistance.

But now that Cao Cao has become the prime minister ahead of schedule, he can now arbitrarily reopen Taixue and open local colleges.

It is a good thing to educate the common people, and the great Confucians both in the court and in the opposition are very supportive.

However, because of the teaching of military, mathematics, and engineering, it caused their dissatisfaction.

Even the ministers who personally lifted Cao Cao to the position of prime minister in the court, many people objected in private.

After all, in the eyes of these Confucian scholars, Taixue should be a place that purely teaches Confucian classics.

How is it proper for you to teach military affairs, arithmetic and even engineering?It's simply insulting!

In the face of fierce opposition from the ministers in the DPRK and China, Cao Cao took out the authority of the prime minister and began to act arbitrarily.No matter how your ministers wailed, Cao Cao still went his own way.

Finally, under Cao Cao's insistence, the emperor and all the officials had nothing to do with him. In the end, after trying their best to increase the proportion of Confucianism teaching, they agreed to reopen this somewhat nondescript Taixue.

Chenliu Workshop, under the operation of Cao Cao, became an affiliated institution of Taixue, and finally ushered in the long-awaited "regularization". In the future, it will also be a place for mathematics and engineering students to practice and even start a formal working career.

1 Forty Chapters Treacherous Lao Cao, Ruthless Exploiter

The reconstruction of Taixue is a major event. There are too many new things established by Cao Cao and Lu Yan. Taichang, who is in charge of managing Taixue, needs a person with a high degree of ideological unity with them.

After various exclusions and screenings, Cao Cao and Lu Yan thought that the most suitable person was Yang Biao.

Ever since Yang Biao was overwhelmed (hu) convinced (you) by Lu Yan's words, he resigned as an official on the emperor's side, and he didn't bother to take care of all the affairs of the government.

Today, Yang Biao is busy with a series of things related to humanities and knowledge, such as book compilation, knowledge promotion, newspaper review, etc., how fulfilling and satisfying his life is.

Now Yang Biao only wants to spread the things passed down from his ancestors to every corner of the big man, and he can't take other things seriously.

The emergence of new paper makes it easier to carry and preserve knowledge.

"Building a heart for the world, building a life for the people, and creating peace for all generations" Yang Biao himself thought he could not do these three things, but in Yang Biao's eyes, "carrying on the learning of the past" is really touchable.

Since the old man had a new goal, he seemed to have a second spring. Not only was he full of energy, his waist was no longer sore, his legs were no longer painful, and he could toss around at night.

He gets up before dawn every day, first to visit the library; then to the printing department of the workshop; and finally to the editorial department of the newspaper... every day, rain or shine.

Today, Yang Biao also came to the library before dawn to start today's tour.

Because both paper and bamboo slips are flammable items, and the library in Chenliu County has the most complete and largest number of books in the entire Han Dynasty. In Yang Biao's heart, there is absolutely no room for any mistakes.

Yang Biao walked slowly all the way with his hands behind his back, carefully inspecting every corner.

Looking at the rows of overcrowded bookshelves, the satisfaction in his heart at this moment can no longer be described in words.

Just when the inspection was halfway through, someone suddenly came behind Yang Biao and said softly, "Mr. Yang, Prime Minister Cao invited you to General Hussar's Mansion, saying that he has something important to discuss!"

"Cao Cao?" Yang Biao's heart moved, and he immediately remembered the recent uproar about the reconstruction of the Taixue, so he nodded and said, "I will go over to the library after I have inspected the library."

"Yes... I will take my leave, little one."

Regardless of your big things about Cao Mengde, these little cuties are the most precious!

After the servant who sent the letter left, Yang Biao carefully inspected the library step by step, and then set off to rush towards the Hussar General's Mansion.

When Yang Biao arrived, Lu Yan, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai had already been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Yang Biao coming, Lu Yan stood up to greet him and said, "Mr. Yang, please sit down!"

Yang Biao shook his head and said with a smile: "The old man has no official position, how dare he live before Xun Shangshu and Lu Huanqi?"

Cao Cao chuckled and said, "Mr. Yang, in terms of qualifications and seniority, even if I am the leader, you can take the seat!"

How dare Yang Biao really sit in Cao Cao's position?

He cupped his hands and bowed to Cao Cao: "The prime minister was joking... This old man is not born out of ignorance. The reason why the big man can survive until now is only because of the support of humerus loyal ministers like the prime minister, Lu Hushi and Xun Shangshu!"

What Yang Biao said was from the heart, which is why Cao Cao, Lu Yan, and Xun Yu valued Yang Biao.

Smart and current affairs, but also has a candor that many people don't have.

Lu Yan stepped forward, pulled Yang Biao and pushed him to the first place under Cao Cao, and said: "We are discussing to let you, Mr. Yang, be the Taichang. Our new Taixue and government-run college just need you to be so respected and respected." , People who are dedicated to enlightenment come to sit in town!"

"Compared to me, Kong Wenju has a higher status in the hearts of literati, and he is more devoted to the prime minister, right?" Yang Biao was still a little hesitant, and he asked his doubts.

"Kong Shao's mansion is a famous Confucian of a generation, and it may be more than enough to serve as the former Taixue Taichang." Lu Yan explained for Yang Biao: "But the Taixue we rebuilt will teach practical studies in addition to Confucian classics. If Kong Shao If the government takes over too often, I worry that many new things will be difficult to implement.”

After a little thought, Yang Biao understood Lu Yan's meaning, "You want to compile the knowledge applied in the workshop into a book, and then the professor will pass it on?"

"You have also seen the changes brought about by the workshop, and I can guarantee that the potential of the workshop is far beyond what you see." Lu Yan's words were serious, and even Xun Yu couldn't help but start to think again. The meaning of the workshop.

"As productivity increases, more people can be freed. People can do more things when they have time, such as reading, such as working, and such as research and invention."

Yang Biao was silent for a moment, and finally agreed: "Since it is to allow more people to study, it doesn't matter if I do this too often."

"Great!"

"But the old man has a request!"

"Just speak up!"

"I have a son named Yang Xiu. Although he has some talents, he has developed a bad habit of being arrogant..."

Lu Yan instinctively felt something was wrong, and was about to decline, but the cunning Yang Biao said first, "I hope to let him practice with Lu Hussar. It would be even better if he could wear down his arrogance!"

"Very good! Mr. Lu's ability to know people and educate people is second to none!

Cao's son, Cao Ang, also had a strange problem of arrogance in the past.But after following Mr. Lu for a while, he became sensible and well-behaved, and even took the initiative to care about others!

So too often, give your son to Mr. Lu, you can rest assured! "Boss Cao suddenly began to sell Lu Yan hard.

The corner of Lu Yan's mouth twitched, and he complained in his heart: "You promised, then you can bring it!"

Without waiting for Lu Yan to reply, Yang Biao nodded and said, "I've heard about this a long time ago.

Products produced by Lu Yan must be high-quality products!Whether it's Mr. Ang, Xi Jijiu, Guo Jijiu, or the group of generals who are good at fighting.

As long as they have been trained under Lu Huss, they are all talents in their own right now! "

"Cao Gong, Yang Gong... Are you exaggerating a bit?" Lu Yan murmured.

At this time, Xun Yu, who had been silent all this time, finally said: "Changsheng, your ability is obvious to all. I even think that you can go to Taixue to become a doctorate in a certain discipline. Your ability to cultivate talents should not be wasted. "

"Wen Ruo, I didn't offend you, did I?" Lu Yan asked with a sullen face.

"Why did you say that?" Xun Yu asked knowingly.

"I work so much in a day, and you still ask me to teach? Is this life going to be passed!"

"Yeah, you skip work every day, drink, listen to music, go to workshops, there are really too many things!"

"Eh..." Lu Yan looked at Yang Biao and Cao Cao's slightly unkind eyes, and finally said with a hehe: "Teach me as long as I teach, anyway, let me tell you first, I only teach mathematics or engineering (the engineering here refers to the research and application of technology. and technological disciplines).”

When Lao Cao saw that Lu Yan let go, he immediately said: "It's done! Then, Mr. Lu, you will be a doctor of mathematics and engineering!"

Taixue can be regarded as our current top university. A school must have teachers and students.

The "doctor" in the Taixue of the Han Dynasty was the teacher who taught the students knowledge, and the students were called "doctoral students".

Lu Yan felt that something Cao Cao said was wrong, and he reconfirmed: "One can pick four Japanese rice? What I just said is like teaching mathematics or engineering?" Lu Yan specially emphasized the word "or".

"That's right, I appointed you as a doctor of mathematics and engineering." Lao Cao bit the word "and" very hard, and there was no room for compromise from his appearance.

Chapter 141 Hongnong Yang's Family

The site for the reconstruction of Taixue Academy was finally chosen in a quiet and secluded place thirty miles south of Chenliu City, near the mountains and forests.

Why Chen Liu again?

Because Chen Liu had a man of the pinnacle of civil and military power sitting in charge...

People who have objections are basically afraid to come and argue with Lu Yan, after all, the last person Lu Yan made sense of was lying in bed for two or three months before getting out of bed.

When the people of Chenliu County heard that General Lu was going to recruit workers to start the project again, they flocked to him, almost breaking through the recruitment gate temporarily set up at the workshop.

Geng Liang, wearing the newly issued official uniform of the director, held his head high and held his chest high, and patrolled the door with great posture to ensure that the recruitment site was orderly.However, relying on him alone is definitely not enough. The main maintainer of order is the hundreds of soldiers drawn from the military base.

Chenliu Workshop was placed under the administration of Taixue, and it was officially named Jiangzuojian.

There will be a supervisor under the general prison, and there will be one junior prisoner each, namely Lu Yan and Han Hao.But just like the principal and vice-principal, the vice-principal usually does the work...

For the time being, the young prison has only set up two directors, namely Geng Liang and Ma Jun.

Geng Liang, whose family has been a craftsman for generations, unexpectedly became an official for an unprecedented time.

Geng Liang, who was now wearing an official uniform, had a great change in his demeanor. The old Geng who used to laugh when he met everyone now had a hint of majesty.

The crowd formed a long queue, and the people of Chenliu had great enthusiasm for the official project.

Not only because of the generous remuneration offered by the government, but also because if some people show special talents, they are likely to be specially recruited by the workshop.

The treatment of the workshop made many officials in the court very jealous. You said how could these common people not sharpen their heads and yearn to squeeze in.

"Listen!" Geng Liang shouted to the crowd with a loudspeaker, "I will be the supervisor of the full design and supervision of the construction of the construction of the Taiyuan Academy!

If you work fast, you will do well!Then our wages are absolutely generous!

The kind that is so rich that you can count the money until your hands cramp! "Geng Liang's words revealed the word "aggressive" inside and out.
