Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 492
When Lao Tzu and Confucius returned to the mansion from Jixia Academy, they heard the steward said that Qingji came to visit and hang out with the bearded girl Zhu Di, having a good talk.

The two of them came to the outside of the study, and they were stopped by the guards standing guard at the door.

Hearing the infinitely imaginative screams coming from the study, Kong Qiu and Lao Tzu looked at each other, their expressions were a little puzzled.

Lao Tzu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's good to be young."

Judy is really open!
In the early morning of the next day, with thick dark circles under his eyes, Qingji clutched his lower back, and left the study step by step.

Originally, he wanted to visit Laozi, but thinking of his current appearance, Qingji could only give up for now.

After all, after a night of tossing with Judy, even if Qingji's body is strong enough, he still can't bear it.

Fortunately, he finally conquered Judy.

Zhu Di has passed out, half dead, but Qingji is sure that she is still alive.

I almost lose my integrity!

Qingji felt a little emotional in his heart.

But his efforts are worth it.

Zhu Di has agreed to sort out for Qingji what she has seen and heard on the way from the West to Middle Earth.

Compile it into a custom chronicle, and draw a complete map, and hand it over to Qingji.

Of course, Qingji wanted to give Zhu Di one thousand taels of gold as a token of his affection and let her do business by herself.

It's just that Judy seems to have become dependent on Qingji and won't take any money.

However, Judy needs to fund herself to open up the Silk Road after the anniversary of her death.

This woman also has a certain ambition.

It's just a thousand taels of gold, and Zhu Di still doesn't like it.

With Qingji as a backer, isn't Zhu Di guarding a big golden mountain?

She is not stupid!

Judging by Qingji's appearance, he is obviously interested in the Silk Road.

"This woman is so fierce the first time. It seems that the widow needs to practice again..."

Qing Ji, who muttered like this, had already left Kong Qiu's mansion and headed straight for the Wu Palace.

……

The next day, in Zijin Mountain outside Jinling City, Jixia Academy, a grand debate was being held.

The Jixia Academy in the State of Wu is a comprehensive academy, similar to a modern university, the highest institution of learning, also known as "Guozijian".

The Jixia Academy includes the School of Political Science, the School of Medicine, the School of Engineering, the School of Military Affairs, the School of Business and so on.

Among them, the School of Political Science has the most students, including Confucianism, Taoism, Law, Ming and other schools of study.

Every college has many scholars.

Wu Wang Qingji advocated contention among a hundred schools of thought, among the ministers and officials of the state of Wu.

Daxing ordered Kong Qiu to serve as the "sacrifice wine" of the School of Political Science and the head of the school. At the same time, he is a representative of Confucianism.

Tingwei Boshun, as a representative of famous scholars, is good at debating.

Grand Sima Sun Wu, as a representative of military strategists, is good at marching and fighting.

As a representative figure of Taoism, Dazai Jiran is good at governing the country (governing by doing nothing).

As a representative of legalism, Fan Li was good at building the rule of law.

At the same time, Fan Li was also the "sacrificial wine" of the business school.

Imperial physician Ling Bian Que, as a representative of physicians, also serves as the "sacrifice wine" of the medical school.

Dagong Linggan will serve as the "sacrificial wine" of the engineering college, representing the Mohist school.

Of course, there is no Mohist school now, and now Ganjiang has his own school, known as the "craftsman's family" all over the world.

These were all introduced by Qingji himself.

In fact, everyone's academics are quite complicated, blending and learning from each other.

Just like Fan Li.

Fan Li is proficient in Taoist studies, and also considers both Confucianism and Legalism. He can lead troops to fight wars, run business and govern the country...

Generally speaking, the current state of Wu belongs to "a hundred schools of thought contend", and its academics are at its peak.

Even people like Lao Tzu were attracted to the country of Wu by the strong academic atmosphere of the Jixia Academy. It is conceivable how influential this academy is!
Scholars in Jixia Academy are divided into various schools and factions, and they are guided by special famous teachers.

This is the highest institution of learning, and it is also a recruiting hall.

Scholars who can enter the Jixia Academy all enjoy salaries in the state of Wu.

Not much, fifty shi a month, one thousand dollars, better than nothing.

Moreover, the tuition fees of the students are free, with food and housing included, and some money, cloth, silk and other things will be rewarded during festivals and holidays as the monarch's celebration.

This kind of treatment can be described as very generous.

Jixia Academy has now become the talent training base of Wu State.

Overcrowded!

However, the state of Wu generally does not support idlers.

Over the years, the state of Wu has been engaged in foreign wars.

The six prefectures in south of the Five Ridges and Jingdi, which was merged into the state of Wu, lacked thousands of officials, large and small, all of whom were scholars from the Jixia Academy.

This shows the importance of Jixia Academy to the state of Wu.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some students will go to other vassal states to serve after they have achieved success in their studies.

But it is a minority after all.

It is worth mentioning that Wu Wang Qingji himself served as the head of Jixia Academy.

This is just a nominal one. Generally speaking, Qingji would not personally manage the affairs of Jixia Academy.

It's just such a symbolic meaning.

At least the students who come out of Jixia Academy can call themselves "Students of King Wu", disciples of King Wu!
How many can cling to some relationships.

World-renowned celebrities such as Jizha, Sun Ping, Yan Ying, and Confucius would also give lectures at Jixia Academy from time to time.

Qingji would occasionally visit Jixia Academy to inspect the study status of the scholars.

Sometimes, Qingji would select some outstanding students from among the students to serve as officials and entrust them with important tasks.

Generally speaking, if you want to be an official in Wu State now, you must be from Jixia Academy.

Plated with gold!

This is equivalent to the "examination system" and "imperial examination system" of later generations.

Either they can be recommended by famous teachers, or their talents are outstanding and recognized by others, otherwise it will be difficult for scholars to stand out in Wu State.

Wu Guo has done a good job in cultivating its own talents, and the market is already approaching saturation.

If the state of Wu cannot carry out external expansion in the future, it may also be "backlashed" to a certain extent.

For example, there are no official positions reserved for scholars. Scholars have studied hard for many years and are unwilling to achieve nothing, so they can only choose to go to other countries to take up positions...

Brain drain, this is not what Qingji wants to see.

Therefore, the pace of Wu's external expansion must not stand still.

It is harmless in a short period of time, but as time goes on, I am afraid that scholars who are not willing to be lonely will go elsewhere.

"My lord, what is the topic of this time?"

At this time, on the Sifang Terrace of Jixia Academy, Confucius curiously asked Qingji, who was sitting high above him.

Every time Qingji came to Jixia Academy, in addition to inspecting the learning status of various colleges, he would publish an "issue" for scholars to express their opinions around that issue.

Qingji didn't say anything, just chuckled, and took a brush to write eight flamboyant characters on the white paper——

Human nature is good?
Human nature is evil?
