Apart from setting up the academy, Ling Han also made other reforms.

The most core point is that he will start to try to break the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy.

This point is also very difficult, and it is completely different from the difficulty of setting up an academy.

The most difficult thing in setting up an academy is the resistance from the aristocratic family.

To break the small-scale peasant economy, we need division of labor and cooperation, and a large number of workers are needed. The most difficult thing is to improve the inherent concepts in people's minds.

Ling Han decided to start with Lujiang County only.

If the effect is good, it is not too late to promote it to the outside world; if it is found to be unfavorable, it will be suspended immediately and wait until the agricultural economy has further developed.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars naturally came first in the feudal period.

The second is farmers.However, businessmen are often in second place in practice because of their enormous wealth.

They can also make their descendants become gentry by donating officials and other methods.

Mi's political investment is another typical way.

The most despised is actually the class of workers.

It is sometimes even entangled with the cheap, making it difficult to distinguish.

The lowly status usually refers to slaves, or singing girls.But in many cases, those who should belong to the workers, such as doctors, are also regarded as cheap.

If Ling Han wants to break the model of the small-scale peasant economy, he must improve the status of all walks of life and the status of "workers".

For example, a doctor must no longer be a lowly person.

In the medical industry of this era, witch doctors are very popular.

However, the situation under Ling Han's rule is much better. In the previous plague and schistosomiasis, he vigorously cured a wave of witch doctors.

In addition to a lot of imprisonment and re-education, this incident itself has greatly reduced the trust of the people in witch doctors.

It is said that witch doctors can communicate with ghosts and gods, so they can be trusted by the people. A real doctor like Hua Tuo, even if his medical skills are extremely superb, may be deeply questioned.

The degree of deification of Ling Han himself is like fighting poison with poison.

——Your Highness is a fairy who came to the world, but he bluntly said that witch doctors are harmful, so these witch doctors are naturally deceiving people in the name of ghosts and gods.

Afterwards, this was indeed proved: His Highness caught these witch doctors who pretended to be ghosts, and dealt with them in his own way.The epidemics in Xuzhou and the floods in Yangzhou, for generations, were originally diseases that the government had no way to deal with, but His Highness didn't spend much time, and not many people died because of them, these diseases disappeared completely.

Since Hua Tuo and the disciples he taught had made great contributions to the two epidemics, they were respected by the people.

Then, it is undoubtedly the best choice to improve the status of "workers", starting from the medical profession.

Further publicize the achievements of Hua Tuo and other doctors in the epidemic and improve their status.

The medical center was renamed as a hospital, and a medical school was set up next to a large hospital to train medical students intensively. After completing their studies in the future, the government will distribute money to them.

——As long as it involves the government, it will greatly improve the political status.

This will greatly encourage the common people to let their children abandon farming to become a doctor.

How to disintegrate the small peasant economy step by step, and in the process, avoid major social turmoil.

For this, Ling Han didn't have a systematic and theoretical plan in mind.

The education he has received has never told him how to do this in such a backward era.

This can only be done slowly.

However, what Ling Han adopted is still the experience of later generations in the final analysis, and it was implemented on a pilot basis.

Starting from the medical industry, observe the reactions of civilians and scholars, sum up the experience, and then extend it to other industries.

From a county, the successful part is gradually extended to a state, and finally the whole country.

Ling Han's reforms to Lujiang County's medical industry were originally shocking.

However, compared with the establishment of academies throughout Yangzhou... which directly affects the interests of the aristocratic family, it really does not cause any disturbance among scholars.

Jia Fu.

From Dong Zhuo to Cao Cao to Changsha King, for Jia Xu, there is no essential difference.

Every time you change the master, you have to face a risk.From this point of view, it is better to work for the King of Changsha.After all, he is most likely to win the world.

After following the King of Changsha to Yangzhou.

Jia Xu was rewarded with a house.There has been no war in Yangzhou recently, so he has nothing to do now.

Although I just want to be a safe and stable laborer, I don't want meritorious service, but I want to be innocent.

But for his own safety, Jia Xu naturally still wants to understand the movements in Yangzhou, especially those related to Changsha King.

The news about the academy quickly reached Jia Xu's ears.

"During the period of Emperor Huandi and Lingdi, the eunuchs were reused because the relatives and the scholar-bureaucrat group competed to control the government, which made the imperial power gradually decline."

"Even Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, if they wanted to build academies among the people, although the order could be issued, they couldn't make the people below obey the order at all."

"Now, the King of Changsha has done it."

Holding a volume of books, Jia Xu walked from the study to the gazebo in the courtyard.

He thought carefully about the biggest change in Yangzhou at the moment.

"Precisely because of the chaos caused by the war, what His Highness has done has given him great prestige both in the family and among the common people. Many people have an almost fanatical admiration for him."

"The establishment of the academy. Zheng Xuan, the great Confucian who should have paid the most attention to tradition, not only did not take the lead in writing a letter to oppose it, but instead gave his full support. Lobbying everywhere is not counted, and he even wrote letters to many of his students."

"Under the full efforts of these two people, an unimaginable event was carried out smoothly in all counties and counties of Yangzhou."

Jia Xu shook his head lightly.

This matter, even he, was not expected at all.

At this time, Jia Xu's eldest son, Jia Ji, came from outside.

"Father, I have already found out what you explained."

In order to find out what is taught in the first academy established in Lujiang County, so as to speculate on the real purpose of King Changsha.

Jia Xu specially sent his eldest son, Jia Ji, to be the first batch of students in the academy.

Therefore, Jia Ji successfully inquired about the situation clearly.

The content of the first lesson that Ling Han taught for the "elite class", the theory that the emperor broke the law and the common people are equally guilty, was almost completely memorized by him.

God knows how shocked Jia Ji was when he sat down and heard His Highness the King of Changsha say those words!

After listening to his son's narration, Jia Xu was also incredulous.

The idea that people are like water is not uncommon.

However, this is only a political act done by the king out of the need to consolidate his rule.

But what the King of Changsha said about the emperor breaking the law and the common people is the same crime, although it seems to be the same, but in fact it doesn't seem to be the case.

Jia Xu frowned slightly.

He tried to connect the people like water in the Changsha King's mouth with the establishment of the Academy.

The establishment of the academy was undoubtedly to weaken the power of the aristocratic family.

The Second Emperor Huan Ling used facts to prove the consequences of an overly powerful family.

However, weaken the power of the family.

This is indeed what Mingjun needs to do, but it will not weaken the essence, but just cut off the overgrown branches.

Because in the final analysis, the royal family is the biggest family in this world!

Jia Ji said, "Father?"

Jia Xu glanced at his son and said, "Go back to the academy and study hard there."

Jia Ji was taken aback for a moment, then she bowed her hands and said, "Yes, father."

Jia Xu continued to sit down in the gazebo.

He thought of what King Changsha had done in Yangzhou before.

Perhaps, His Highness the King of Changsha is indeed different.

Returning the land to the peasants and paying attention to the rights and interests of the common people... This is not in the name of benevolence and righteousness, and there is no more clever means behind it.

He is sincerely thinking about the most humble civilians, and he can feel their pain personally.

He was even willing to voluntarily subtract a part of his own rights and interests for these worthless people.

Jia Xu couldn't understand such behavior, and couldn't agree with such thinking.

However, he felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Not only the Qin and Han Dynasties, even going back to the pre-Qin period, there is no second such king.

Yes, the King of Changsha is different from any monarch in the past and present.

He is destined to leave his name in the history with a completely different attitude.

A young hero... really has his blood.

Jia Xu faintly had an illusion.

My heart of being indifferent to the world only wishes to be wise and firm.

It seems that because of this blood, there is a slight surge.

Of course, Ling Han didn't know what Jia Xu was thinking.

He is very busy now.

Every county has established elite classes, and Ling Han needs to go one by one to give the first class to the children of the aristocratic family.

At the same time, he discovered an unexpected harvest.

I can use this kind of lectures to "brainwash" these young children from aristocratic families who have not been completely shackled by feudal ideology.

In the elite class in Lujiang County, he encouraged the students under him to raise doubts, still under the banner of Confucius.

It is naturally difficult for young children of aristocratic families to have such courage.

Only Lu Xun, Lu Kang's grandson, raised his doubts.

Ling Han also answered him gently, and praised his behavior.

No matter how smart the other party is, how could Ling Han, who had studied a lot of sages' thoughts and Ma Zhe's theory, be no match for someone from the Three Kingdoms period.

You know, the more you argue, the clearer you are.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the public debate between the conservatives and the reformers not only made the ideas of the reformers vigorously spread among the people, but also prompted people to do further thinking.

The birth and development of the reformists are also closely related to that debate.

In the initial stage, there were naturally very few children from aristocratic families like Lu Xun who dared to express doubts.

However, Ling Han believes that as time goes by, there will be more and more people who dare to question.

In a relatively closed academy environment, these students will also influence each other.

In time, they might all truly agree with Ling Han's idea of ​​civil rights from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, this is only a small possibility.

Ling Han is not worried that the teaching of other gentry teachers will be detrimental to his own brainwashing.

——Even Changsha Wang himself allowed students to question his lectures and argue with each other, so it is even more impossible for students to be superstitious about other gentlemen.

What's more, the two ideas collided, allowing these young scholars to discuss with each other and distinguish which one is more reasonable. This is an extremely important lesson in itself.
