At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Many people ask their friends to help support their lives, lend them some money to buy food, and then they will continue to transcribe scriptures after they have transcribed them.

Then the vendors in the food business and beverage business in Luoyang made a fortune again, and they were quite satisfied. They hoped that this situation would last for a few more days.

Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor said that the introduction meeting on the existence and meaning of the Pentateuch and punctuation marks will always exist in the Grand Plaza of the Palace, and it will exist at any time except for wind and rain, until all the people who need it are satisfied to their respective needs.

Needless to say, the price of paper in Luoyang has dropped to an unbelievable level. Anyone can buy a few sheets and keep them in their arms for a closer look.

In this case, people buy a lot of paper and copy a lot of articles.

Then some people were lazy and unwilling to copy, so they began to spend a lot of money to buy the paper in the hands of the scholars who had completed the transcription.

After all, although the paper is worthless, the paper with words on it is still priceless.

This behavior of asking for a lot of money gave birth to a small market again, and some people started to take orders to help transcribe, and they got expensive commissions.

In short, once this situation happens, it will start to give rise to all kinds of chaos. After all, there is always no shortage of business-minded people in the world.

Mr. Guo is open to the emergence of this situation. It would be good to let more smart and hardworking people make some money, anyway, this business will not last long.

He has more important things to do.

Reorganize and expand Taixue.

Up to now, the surge in the number of Taixue students has become an irreversible fact.

At present, Taixue can accommodate up to 6000 people to live and study, but the number of students who have recently joined Taixue has exceeded 1, and the future when the total number of students will exceed [-] is just around the corner.

Taixue is about to be overwhelmed.

Fortunately, these scholars' families are all rich, so they don't rush to live in the Taixue dormitory.

But this is not a long-term solution, so Guo Peng immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to expand the Taixue, and ordered the Taixue administrative organization to completely change the teaching mode of the Taixue.

Taixue is located in the imperial city of Luoyang. In the northwest corner of the imperial city, Guo Peng has visited Taixue several times to inspect its work.

Because Guo Peng had planned for Taixue long ago, Guo Peng planned a large area of ​​construction land for Taixue in the imperial city where every inch of land is expensive. If it is fully built, it can completely accommodate the daily study and life of [-] students. .

Taixue not only has teaching facilities, but also daily life facilities, just like the former Han Taixue, in addition to teaching, there are also daily life.

In order to take care of some poor students, generally speaking, the living dormitories in Taixue give priority to these students from poor families. In the former Han Dynasty, there was a case where Taixue students brought their mother and younger brother to live in the Taixue dormitory. .

In the future, Taixue will definitely welcome a group of poor Lishu students, who cannot afford the high housing prices in Luoyang.

Therefore, when Guo Peng plans to expand Taixue, he also needs to expand the dormitory of Taixue so that more Lishu students can come to study in the future. At that time, he doesn't have to worry too much about living in Luoyang and can study at ease.

In addition to high housing prices, Luoyang's prices are not low. After all, the powerful people of the entire Wei Empire live here, and foreign envoys also live here. There are many high-end markets, and the cost of running a shop is not low. Naturally, the price is low and there is nowhere to go.

This part is also something to consider.

So it's time for the treasury to spend a lot of money and spend a lot of money.

So a related meeting was held, and Guo Peng called the relevant persons in charge of Taixue, as well as the heads of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Finance, and held a joint meeting to discuss the construction of Taixue in the new era.

"About Taixue, I naturally attach great importance to it. In the heyday of the former Han Dynasty, there were [-] students studying at Taixue. Ten thousand standards."

Chapter 1172 One Thousand 180 Two Yuan Si Suddenly Feels a Little Cool Behind His Back

Regarding the request made by the emperor, the officials of the Ministry of Industry looked at each other in blank dismay.

Tian Feng said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the standard of [-]...doesn't it mean that the current scale of Taixue will be expanded by as much as five times?"

"of course."

Guo Peng nodded: "At the beginning of the planning of Luoyang City, Gu had already decided to restore Taixue to its peak state, so the planning land for Taixue was very large at the beginning, but it was not used for a while. But that piece of land is too learned and will not change.

Now I want to make full use of the land used by Taixue. Your Ministry of Industry should come up with a regulation as soon as possible. It doesn’t require how luxurious or majestic the building is, but it should be strong, durable, and able to shelter from wind and rain, especially for students’ dormitories. Dorms, even more so. "

Guo Peng instructed so.

"Yes, this expense..."

Tian Feng looked at Wang Can in embarrassment.

Wang Can bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, although there is no war in Wei this year, the projects in various places are speeding up. After the hundreds of thousands of strong laborers joined, the speed is indeed much faster, and it is far cheaper than civilian husbands. But it still costs a little.

Originally, there was still some fiscal surplus, but His Majesty had previously instructed that 3 people of funds and materials should be invested to help Xiahou envoy build Mozhou, so right now, there is no way for the treasury to spend more. "

Guo Peng frowned.

"Didn't you say that after replacing the bamboo slips with paper, you saved a lot of money? What about the money?"

"Your Majesty, this money is reserved for emergencies. Over the years, droughts and floods have occurred in various places in summer and autumn. This money is reserved for these possible events. If The money has also been moved, so..."

Wang Can didn't say anything.

Guo Peng thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but regret slightly for his extensive infrastructure construction in various places.

But after he thought about it, he felt that education is the foundation of the country. Even if the project is suspended for a while, things in this area must not be suspended. There are still many things to be promoted in the future, and this is just the beginning.

Some people didn't have time to react because they didn't know what happened in Luoyang. If they knew, they might do something else.

This matter must be finalized in one go, and Luoyang will be stabilized. If Luoyang is stabilized, everything will be stabilized.

and so……

"Wang Qing, just use that money and start working immediately, don't delay."

Guo Peng made up his mind.

"This……"

"His Majesty……"

Wang Can and Tian Feng both wanted to say something.

Yuan Si thought for a while, but said nothing.

"Just do this. As for the possible disasters, I will use the internal treasury to take care of it. You don't have to worry. If something goes wrong, the orphan will directly allocate money and food from the internal treasury. You can use the money to expand the Taixue Come on, don't worry about other things."

Guo Peng issued an order.

When the emperor got to this point, Wang Can and Tian Feng had nothing to say.

They decided to do what the emperor said.

Expand Taixue, expand Taixue to the point where it can accommodate 3 people for study, study and daily life, and become the highest institution of learning in the true sense.

This is one of the most important things the emperor will do after he seizes the right to inherit and teach the family law.

And they will go all out to help the emperor.

There is no other choice.

Tian Feng and Wang Can looked at Yuan Si, who had been silent for a long time, who was lucky or unlucky.

To be precise, this should be a guy who was played by the emperor and applauded.

Because of the emperor's Huanglongdian meeting, he took the few remaining members of the Runan Yuan family on the road to revive the family, seeing that the Runan Yuan family had the possibility of regaining their prestige in the past.

Then the emperor gave another order, and he handed over his family inheritance, the right to interpret classics and teach, and handed over everything to the emperor in exchange for the wealth of the Yuan family in Runan.

Everyone has almost figured out the treatment received by the four major families that cooperated with the emperor.

He married the emperor as a son and daughter, and the title of title is hereditary without demotion, unlike other people who are downgraded by one level every generation.

The noble titles of other people are not downgraded one by one, but one by one.

The duke can turn back to a commoner with only the fifth generation, instead of being reduced from the first-class duke to the second-class duke, it is directly downgraded to the first-class marquis, and then the next generation becomes an earl.

This is still the duke family, and the marquis, the earl, and even two or three generations will be reduced to mediocrity—if there are no up-and-coming descendants.

Even if it is the top founding duke, if five consecutive generations of descendants fail to achieve anything, they should obediently return to mediocrity.

It is the so-called [Gentleman's Ze, beheaded for five generations].

When Guo Peng made the rules, he explained it in this way, and everyone didn't have any opinions, thinking that Guo Peng did a good job.

This makes it seem that the noble titles of the four major families that do not need to be downgraded from generation to generation are especially precious.

Unless these four families have committed the crime of treason, they can rest with the state.

Then they can marry the emperor's sons and daughters. Yuan Si should be the second son of the emperor who married his daughter to the emperor, and they will be married in August.

Then the Yuan family became relatives of the emperor and could receive the protection of the royal family.

The right to interpret and teach family classics is exchanged for such treatment. No matter how you think about it, you will lose money. Normal people will definitely not do this anyway.

But who told you that if you don't agree, His Majesty the Emperor can make you disappear immediately?

Thinking of this, they felt a little jealous of the four big families.

Because of family classics, one can prosper from the previous dynasty to the present, live with the country, and continue to be rich. How wonderful?

Under the emperor, they must be willing to do such a thing.

Anyway, it must be impossible to keep the right to interpret classics and to teach. It is a bargain to exchange this doomed thing for one who lives with the country!

Why don't they?

Thinking of this, Tian Feng and Wang Can looked at Yuan Si with jealousy in their eyes.

Yuan Si, who was reporting work to Guo Peng, suddenly felt a little cool behind his back, and he didn't know what was going on.

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

Yuan Si continued to report on his work.

"According to His Majesty's instructions, the ministers have established the system of credits, compulsory courses and elective courses. Whether a student can successfully graduate depends on the credits. If the credits are not enough, they will not be allowed to graduate. Only when they reach a certain number of credits can they graduate, and then they can be assigned positions. Or go through the Ministry of Rites to promote Xiaolian, or go directly to the Ministry of Officials for screening."

Guo Peng nodded.

"This is a general principle. Credits are the most basic. In addition to credits, there will be other evaluation criteria. Credits can be added or subtracted. If a student commits a crime during the schooling period, it will be cancelled. Student status, rush back to the place of origin.

Taixue must pay close attention to the control of Taixue students. Some Taixue students are of high background, arrogant, and like to bully the weak. At this time, you officials from Taixue should stand up and punish them. If you can’t do it, you can Tell solitary, solitary come. "

"According to the order."

Several Taixue officials immediately expressed that they understood.

"Also, you have to carefully select the lecturers of each subject. Except for the existing ones, the new lecturers have to go through a thorough test. At least they must know what punctuation is, and the classroom teaching cannot be done in the previous way. You have to do what Gu says."

Guo Peng continued to give instructions, and the Taixue officials nodded to express their understanding.

Seeing such a scene, the rest of the officials had a strange feeling, and they didn't know where this strange feeling came from.

Then they understood that this strange feeling came from His Majesty the Emperor's increasingly powerful and comprehensive power.

It comes from His Majesty's comprehensive mastery of Taixue.

Chapter 1173 One thousand 180 three all lost, only the emperor won

Now that the four major families have defected, His Majesty the Emperor can even decide how the scholars will enroll, what to study, how to graduate, and finally how to become an official.

Their series of trajectories from the beginning of their studies to their official appointments are all under the control of the emperor. Basically, the emperor can do whatever he wants, and the scholars must obey.

It's not a good feeling to be in total control.

Military, economic, political, and then cultural.

The culture regarded as the core interests of the scholars has finally fallen into the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.

The only remaining advantage of scholars is the group concept of scholar origin.

Because of his background as a scholar, there is still hope in the political future, so it is not hopeless, at least the possibility of becoming a high-ranking official is still very high.

Although it is no longer possible to rely on family background to directly book a high-ranking official position, at least, there are still advantages.

No matter what His Majesty the Emperor does, it is impossible for those muddy legs to step on the heads of scholars.

The investigation still exists, and the scholar families still retain the permission to directly recommend their children to be officials to the Ministry of Rites. This is probably the only consolation they can get.

They confirmed to the emperor that even if the children of scholars who entered Taixue did not succeed in obtaining enough credits to graduate, they could still follow the path of filial piety and honesty to seek the way of being an official.

It made most of them feel relieved, relaxed, because the privilege is still there.

As long as the privilege is still there, that's fine, and it proves that His Majesty the Emperor is still interested in scholars.
