The difficulty of the task of Hongdu Menxue is no less difficult than the task of 480 temples.When Emperor Ling of the Han founded Hongdumen School, many Confucian scholars pointed their noses at it and scolded it.Because this thing is equivalent to breaking the monopoly of Confucianism, allowing all kinds of art to flourish.

In fact, in Yan Hao's view, the purpose of this thing that Han Lingdi did is of course for pleasure, but it is not considered stupid in an objective evaluation.The prosperity of a dynasty, in addition to the development of academics in the fields of internal affairs and military affairs, is also one of the signs of the vitality of art.Therefore, he is willing to encourage the development of art.

Of course, the Great Wei Dynasty is still dominated by Confucianism today, and the authority of Confucianism is even worse than that of the Han Dynasty. It is conceivable that it is very difficult to establish Hongdumen School to break this knowledge monopoly.

But then again, the rewards are also extremely generous, even surpassing the task of the stage of "Summer Resort" in Yan Hao's opinion!The reason is that, in addition to 2 points, the "Hongdu Menxue" task also rewarded a "Top Iron Smelting Technology"!

The level of this top-level iron-smelting technology has not been clearly stated by the current system.However, according to Yan Hao's deduction, since the system is marked as top-notch, the level of this technology must be very against the sky. This can be seen from the fact that the Tianxing jacquard machine and vernier caliper he exchanged before are far beyond the level of the times.

Needless to say, the help of iron smelting technology to a country is needless to say. Even if this reward can improve the purity of Wei's steelmaking to a higher level, its value is much higher than that of war horses, soldier talismans, and flags. It can no longer be measured by tens of thousands of points but more than [-] points.

Because war horses can only arm cavalry, and flags can only create a legion, but the improvement of the purity of steelmaking can strengthen the power of all arms and weapons, which is equivalent to increasing the combat effectiveness of all Wei soldiers by a certain percentage. Its importance can be imagined Know!

This is exactly why Yan Hao valued the rewards of the "Hongdu Menxue" task so much!

After analyzing these tasks and completing the rewards, Yan Hao still decided to adopt the strategy of first easy and then difficult.Let's get rid of the relatively simple, cost-effective and super-high task of "singing and dancing".After all, he had suffered for so long, so it was time to relax.What's more, he urgently needs a "hero card" to summon a hero suitable for leading the Huben army.

Chapter 141

If you want to complete the task of singing and dancing, it is easy to say, the key is to find out which beauties have double SS levels, but the difficulty is that the system will not tell you which beauties have double SS singing skills, which beauties Those who have double SS level dance skills can rely on their own exploration.

If you make a mistake and choose a single S-level beauty, it will take a month, and the task cannot be completed in the end, then it will be very sad.

In the end, the method Yan Hao thought of was quite interesting, that is, by holding a dance competition, let other beauties compete against each other, and the person with the highest dancing skill will be selected as the lead dancer.Yan Hao couldn't believe that the beauty who danced the best in the huge palace wasn't double SS?

Ever since, a vigorous singing and dancing competition was staged in the palace.

The empress of Weiyang Palace, Concubine Yan Daji of Chenghuan Palace, Concubine Chen of Xiangyun Palace, Baosi of Hanxiang Palace... almost all the beauties in the palace participated in this competition.

Among the heavyweight concubines, Lin Peiyao, Tong Su, Ran Yingying and Gu Nianxin signed up for the singing competition, while Bao Si, Daji, Qi Yun and Yue'er signed up for the dancing competition.

On this day, the competition was grandly opened in Longyuan Hall, everywhere was beautifully decorated, filled with smoke, it had the wonderful feeling of Yunmeng Fairy Palace.

The concubines competed first in singing.

The empress Lin Peiyao was generous, and she took the lead, and sang "Plantain Rain" on the stage. Lin Peiyao's own voice was thicker than ordinary female voices, but it was definitely not the rough and thick, but full of texture, full of a rare magnetic.

"Good!" After Lin Peiyao sang, Yan Hao was the first to stand up and applaud her. The queen smiled shyly and came to Yan Hao's side and snuggled into her arms.

"Hehe, my queen is not only virtuous and virtuous, but also has extraordinary talents!" Yan Hao laughed.

Seeing that Lin Peiyao started first, Gu Nianxin was not to be outdone, and then sang a song with a clear and sweet voice, but it was still a head behind Lin Peiyao.

At this time, Concubine Chen Tong Su stood up. As the most beloved concubine of the late emperor, this beautiful woman not only had a beautiful figure, she was also famous in the harem for her song "Plucking Lotus"!

As soon as Concubine Chen opened her voice, all the people present felt their hearts flutter, and immediately the clear and transparent sound of nature, like the mist and snow on the green mountains, reached everyone's ears.Every note of that voice echoed in the hall, endlessly, making one seem to accept the stirring of the soul.

It's hard to imagine that a beautiful mature woman like Concubine Chen who already gave birth to a child has such an ethereal voice, it's really rare!

Just when everyone thought Chen Concubine Tong Su was about to win the crown of the strongest singer, Ran Yingying suddenly stepped forward.Although Ran Yingying is Zhaoyi in the palace, she has always disliked fighting for power and gain, and conflicts with anyone. Generally speaking, she keeps a low profile.

But don't forget that Ran Yingying was also a singer at the beginning, so when she saw a strong opponent appearing, she immediately felt itchy and couldn't bear it anymore, and she no longer hid her clumsiness.

"Your Majesty, my concubine will present you a song "One Dream Gold" that I wrote myself." Ran Yingying said timidly.

Yan Hao then looked at her with encouraging eyes, signaling her to sing boldly.

Ran Yingying stood still holding the hem of her skirt, and the sweet singing voice began to float out of her mouth.The main idea of ​​the song she wrote is to reminisce about the various past events she experienced in the Golden Phoenix Tower, which just caters to the name of the song - Dreaming of Gold, and suddenly returning to the Golden Phoenix Tower after a dream.

Originally, this kind of song about the place of Yanliuhua Lane should be more or less flashy and gaudy, but Ran Yingying's song condenses the sadness and sorrow of the past, forming a contrast with her sweet and peaceful voice. On the contrary, it formed an astonishing appeal.

Her singing voice was like a twilight glow, covering the originally obscure and gloomy sky in an instant. On that sky, the notes carrying the birds were flying proudly with the wind.

This song should only exist in the sky, how many times will it be heard in the world!

After singing the song, even Tong Su couldn't help standing up and applauding Ran Yingying!

"Sister Ran is really a blockbuster, I really want to bow down."

"My sister has won the award, she's just making a fool of herself in front of her." Ran Yingying said shyly.

These two people are usually on good terms, the reason is that both of them have special identities, and in the palace there is a sense of sympathy for each other.

In the end, no surprise, Ran Yingying won the championship of the strongest singing talent.

But the suspense in the dance competition is not so big, with Daji, the peerless enchantress, no one else can snatch this champion away.

After confirming the two SS-level identities of Ran Yingying and Daji, Yan Hao selected a large number of court ladies to sing and dance in the Longyuan Hall day and night, singing and dancing endlessly!

Chapter 142 Cultural Industry

The mission of singing and dancing is going on vigorously, and if there are no accidents, it will be successfully completed in a month.Of course, within this month, the Longyuan Hall not only became a grand gathering of singing and dancing, but also a place for Yan Hao to indulge in his lust.

Once he is tired or upset about dealing with political affairs, he will definitely come to Longyuan Hall to watch songs and dances to relieve his boredom, and once the emperor arrives, the clothes on the court ladies will dance less and less.

Of course, Ran Yingying, the lead singer, and Daji, the lead dancer, endured the most fire from Yan Hao.

This absurd extravaganza was widely circulated and became another famous pleasure idea of ​​Yan Hao.But after all, this is something he did in the harem himself.The courtiers didn't interfere too much.

But another measure that Yan Hao announced to be implemented caused a lot of hype.That is to establish Hongdumen School!

The so-called Hongdu Menxue does not teach students etiquette, righteousness, spring and autumn, and Confucian classics, but focuses on poetry, calligraphy and painting, which greatly violates the traditional educational philosophy of the Wei Dynasty.

To this, the old ministers represented by Lin Song raised fierce objections, the reason is that they can't govern the country with poetry, calligraphy and painting, and letting such a person become an official will defeat the country and harm the country!

After hearing these opinions, Yan Hao retorted disapprovingly: "Who said that entering school is to become an official? Studying in school is to cultivate sentiment. As long as you can cultivate your character, you can learn anything. Poetry, calligraphy and painting are also a skill!"

As a modern person, Yan Hao's vision is naturally much wider than these old intellectuals.Under the traditional society, the education and training method with the main purpose of politics is not bad, and it can cultivate suitable political talents for the country to a certain extent.

But the key point is that for a truly benign and vital society, it is not enough to cultivate some well-educated scholars!The so-called cultural construction is to comprehensively cultivate cultural talents in all aspects and enhance the overall cultural atmosphere of society.

This is also the reason why Yan Hao thinks that "Hongdu Menxue" is something he would do even if it wasn't required by the task.This is one of the rare tasks of a foolish monarch that appears to be absurd on the surface, but actually has its social value.

As for the importance of cultural heritage to a country, it is a more complicated issue. Generally speaking, although strengthening cultural construction in a feudal society is not as urgent as it is in modern society, it is still necessary.

Its significance lies first in social stability, which is also what Yan Hao cares most about. After all, he still wants to be his Taiping King comfortably.The improvement of the average cultural literacy can enhance social stability. This is not difficult to understand. First, the quality of the people is high, so it is not so easy to be deceived. Second, the spiritual life of the people is satisfied, and they will not be casual and rose up to rebel.

However, the traditional collections of classics and history are all for scholars who are interested in becoming officials, and they are too far away for ordinary people to exert much influence.On the contrary, these poems, songs, calligraphy and paintings are suitable for both refined and popular tastes, and can maximize their radiating ability.

On the other hand, the cultural industry can be transformed into productivity even in ancient times, and its industrial value should not be underestimated!You know, although there were no television, internet, newspapers and magazines in ancient times, there were teahouses, restaurants, brothels, Goulan, academies and cultural centers, etc.!

The thriving cultural industry can drive the consumption of these places, which in turn can drive the development of related industries. In Wei, where commerce and trade are flourishing, the value of this is also very objective.

Therefore, Yan Hao firmly believes that the establishment of "Hongdu School" is very meaningful, and finally defies all opinions, announcing that he will establish Hongdu School as quickly as possible and recruit the first batch of students!

Chapter 143 Admissions Strategies

The task of opening Hongdu School and enrolling students was handed over to Yu Xinghuai, the regular attendant of Sanqi. The important reason is that he was the number one scholar in the imperial examination in the 22nd year of Guangyu in the previous dynasty, and he was also a well-known poet. It is very suitable for such a person with great influence in the cultural circle to take up this position.
