[Three Kingdoms] Xinghan

Having received Zheng Xuan's promise, Ling Han began to prepare for the opening of the academy after returning home.

This is not a simple matter.

How to give the aristocratic family a higher level, how to publicize so that the people are willing to send their children to the academy, what should the students read... are not easy.

It took Ling Han three days to prepare.

In order to make the aristocratic family accept the institution of the academy as peacefully as possible, apart from appointing Zheng Xuan as the chief dean of the major academies in Yangzhou, that is, Jijiu.

Ling Han decided to set up an elite class similar to later generations in the academy, and ensure that every county has an elite class.

Children from aristocratic families can attend elite classes based on their status, and ordinary people can also be promoted based on their grades.

Ling Han will make a promise: he will regularly go to the elite classes in various counties to give lectures.

In addition to him, senior generals such as Zhao Yun may also teach the six arts of archery to the gentlemen of the elite class.

This is obviously an extremely large amount of work.

There are seven counties in Yangzhou, and seven elite classes need to be opened.

Even if every academy with elite classes is as close as possible to central Yangzhou, the distance is still very long.

But Ling Han is still determined to do it.

Because the benefits of opening an elite class are huge.

First of all, this is a step to ease the contradiction.It can make the family feel that the family is still fundamentally different from ordinary people.

Secondly, it helps to break the restrictions of the circle.Ordinary students who pass the exam and enter the elite class are more likely to become friends with the children of the family, and the circle of the family is no longer limited to blood.

Poor children who can stand out from the encirclement will naturally be willing to protect the interests of poor children.Moreover, getting acquainted with the children of their families since childhood is more likely to realize that there is no essential difference between scholars and commoners.

And how to publicize, so that the people are willing to send their children to the academy to study.

First of all, Ling Han will personally give lectures in various places, explaining the meaning of reading.

Secondly, he decided to learn from the methods of later generations and write all kinds of epigrams on the walls overwhelmingly.

For example, "reading makes people rich", "reading is the best way to be an official" and so on.

And the most important point.

The college will provide accommodation and meals for students free of charge.

This cost is really not small, and it is not enough to just get in and out.

The site selection for the construction of the academy must ensure that all the nearby land is under the control of the government.

The dormitories are divided into ordinary dormitories, advanced dormitories, and special dormitories.Ordinary dormitories are free to live in; higher-level dormitories cost a lot of money, and are basically provided for rich peasants;

The same goes for food.

In this way, there may be hope for a balance of payments.If it is not enough, the rest will be subsidized by the government.

As for the learning content, most of them naturally have to be the traditional Four Books and Five Classics.

In addition, it is extremely important to change the thinking of the next generation of scholars through education.

When Quan Rou was executed, Ling Han thought of an idea to protect human rights.

In name, he never mentioned that common people and scholars are equal, and the statement that everyone is equal is too deviant.

Even, if someone like Quan Rou questioned him again, he would firmly deny it.

However, in practice, Ling Han will vigorously promote Xunzi's thought that people are like water: water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

He wants to set up a special class in the academy, the essence of which is: the emperor commits the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law.

——If even Ling Han himself is no exception, then how can a certain scholar, even if he is a child of the most powerful family in the world, be exonerated?

This sentence comes from Shiji, and similar remarks have been heard by scholars and emperors.

But it has never been implemented, nor can it be truly implemented.

Now, Ling Han wants to implement this point.

Its core idea is still under the banner of feudalism: Xun Ziyun, the people are like water.In order to maintain the rule of the imperial court, the rights and interests of the people must be guaranteed so that they can live a good life.The cruel and benevolent Qin Dynasty caused the disaster of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising, and the Great Qin Empire collapsed in an instant.In contrast to the current Yangzhou, the people own their own land and are willing to work hard, and the government can also get more taxes.Wouldn't it be beautiful if the people were rich and the court rich, the best of both worlds?

Regardless of the fall of the Qin Dynasty or the prosperity of Yangzhou at the moment, of course it is not just that simple.

But Ling Han will emphasize this point to highlight the importance of being kind to the people.

And the conclusion is: If you really want to maintain the rule of a dynasty, then the dynasty must try its best to protect the rights and interests of the people from the king to the officials.The behavior of wantonly oppressing the people is tantamount to betraying the imperial court and wanting to destroy the imperial court.This is committing a heinous crime similar to conspiracy!

Of course, if a child from a wealthy family really committed such a crime, Ling Han would not be able to execute him directly, let alone implicate him.

For example, the Lu clan, Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang County, is currently holding the right to speak in the Lu clan. Not only is he very famous in Yangzhou, but he also offered Lujiang County to Ling Han on his own initiative before. Become a pillar of the imperial court.

In the feudal era, Ling Han had no way to turn against such a family because of the life and death of a commoner.

However, if the Lu family wanted to save the person who committed the crime, they had to pay a huge amount of money for it.

In this way, they will not hold grudges because of it, and other aristocratic families will also have lingering fears and dare not commit crimes easily.

After all the details were finalized, Ling Han officially released the news.

At the same time, he ordered the county guards to order them to start building the academy as required immediately after receiving the letter.

Wu County.

Sheriff Sheng Xian was a little dazed looking at the bamboo slips in his hand.

One is from His Highness the King of Changsha, it is an order; the other is from his subordinates, it is news; the other is from Zheng Xuan, it is a letter.

His Highness the King of Changsha ordered himself to establish academies in the counties of Wu County, and an "elite class" must also be established.

The news from his subordinates is that His Highness has appointed the great Confucian Zheng Xuan as the academy's sacrificial wine, in charge of all the academies in Yangzhou. Zheng Xuan, who has lived away from the world for many years, gladly accepted this appointment.

As for Zheng Xuan, it was a secret letter between master and apprentice.

—— Few people know that Sheng Xian, the prefect of Wu County, once studied under the disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan.

In the letter, the teacher hoped that he could support Changsha King.

Not just following His Highness's orders, but really taking the matter of the Academy to heart.

Sheng Xian said silently: "Your Highness requests this, the teacher requests it so, what choice do I have besides doing my best to do it well?"

Similar scenes were staged in many places in Yangzhou.

Lujiang, the residence of the Lu family.

Holding two bamboo slips, Lu Kang called his two grandsons, Lu Shang and Lu Xun, to him.

The eldest grandson Lu Shang has long passed the age of crowning, and he usually works with Lu Kang; the younger grandson Lu Xun is still young, maybe 15 years old, but very intelligent.

Lu Kang ordered: "Both of you, take a closer look at these two bamboo slips."

The two took the bamboo slips and checked them separately.

After being surprised, they quickly understood what their grandfather meant, that his grandfather was testing them.

After the work of a cup of tea.

Lu Kang asked: "How will this academy matter develop in the future. Each of you give the results and explain the reasons."

He looked at Lu Shang and said, "You come first."

Lu Shang respectfully said: "Sun'er thought that although His Highness had a good intention at the beginning, this matter cannot be accomplished."

Lu Kang looked at him, waiting for the next sentence.

Lu Shang then continued: "Grandfather's loyalty to the great man can be learned from heaven and earth, and he will never oppose His Highness. However, there are many families in Yangzhou, and there must be many people who do not want to see His Highness do this. The previous issue of land has caused some families to Dissatisfied, this move is a step further. If the academy opens, I'm afraid it will make them worry and even feel rebellious."

"There is a lot of opposition in Yangzhou, His Highness will take back his order."

Lu Kang nodded slightly, but did not make any comment.

He looked at another grandson: "What about you? How do you think about this?"

Lu Xun said: "Grandfather and grandson think that His Highness is very likely to succeed in the matter of the academy."

"Oh?" Lu Kang asked, "Why?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Changsha has a distinguished status, and he has unimaginable prestige whether in the army, among the scholars, or among the people. My cousin is right. There are indeed some families who are dissatisfied with His Highness because of the land, but no one has given birth to him because of this. They didn't even dare to show the slightest objection on the surface.

"This is because even the aristocratic families who are dissatisfied in their hearts believe in one thing: with His Highness's brilliance and martial arts, the Han Dynasty will be restored in the future. If the aristocratic families unite, they may be able to force His Highness to make concessions, but scholars who are as loyal as their grandfathers are not. There are not a few. Under such circumstances, resistance is tantamount to asking for death."

"The only thing His Highness can make the family picky is that it violates the etiquette system. If someone wants to prevent His Highness from opening an academy, they can only use this name. However, Zheng Xuan, who should have followed the tradition and etiquette the most, decided to be the Academy. The post of sacrificial wine. Apparently on this matter, Mr. Zheng expressed his full support for His Highness."

"His Royal Highness built a study place according to the words of the sage, and got the help of great Confucians. If this is the case, what name can the aristocratic family use to oppose this matter?"

Lu Kang couldn't help but nodded.

Although Lu Xun is smart, today's analysis really makes people feel extraordinary.

Even myself, I couldn't think of these for a while.

He couldn't help but praised: "Very good. It's really not easy for you to think of these things in such a short period of time!"

Lu Xun smiled embarrassedly.

"A few days ago, my grandson asked the teacher about the teacher's explanation. My grandson couldn't agree with the teacher's explanation, so I often think about it these days."

"Grandson thought about it for a long time. Based on the current situation in Yangzhou, if you want to achieve what Confucius said, you need the joint efforts of His Highness and the teacher. Unexpectedly, His Highness really did this and persuaded the teacher."

Lu Kang heard the words and asked: "There is no distinction between education? What did Mr. Zheng say that day?"

Lu Xun then fully narrated the scene of that day.

Lu Kang nodded knowingly.

Lu Xun is smart, but he is still young and has not been involved in too many conflicts of interest.

As the patriarch of the Lu clan, Lu Kang instantly understood why Zheng Xuan explained to his grandson that day.

He looked again at the letter from Zheng Xuan in his hand.

Come to think of it, besides the governors of the various counties, there will be many scholars in Yangzhou who have received Zheng Xuan's letter.

Lu Kang couldn't help but said with emotion: "Even people like Zheng Xuan who have long escaped from the world are deeply impressed by His Highness, and they don't hesitate to do so."

"His Royal Highness rejuvenated the big man, and even created an unprecedented big man. Is there any doubt about this matter?"
