Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 170 The merits of enlightenment will benefit thousands of years! (seeking subscription)

Hear Ji Heng's words.

The young master was shocked.

They really did not expect Ji Heng to say these words.

Daqin did not prohibit the people from accepting knowledge, but education itself was a very high threshold.

And it's demanding.

As far as Daqin is concerned, only officials whose titles have reached the level of a doctor can provide for their children to enroll. In addition, there are also some wealthy families and nobles who can enter the school through recommendation or sponsorship.

But without exception, they all have very high requirements on their family background.

What Daqin practiced was 'One Teaching'.

That is, unified education.

Take the law as the teaching and officials as the teacher.

Daqin aims to complete the training of officials through the establishment of 'schools' specializing in the training of legal talents in various counties and counties.

And these "historical sons" and "disciples" are the future reserve officials of Daqin.

If you are not a Shizi, you dare not learn from the school.

Right now, Ji Heng's intention is clearly to lower the admission standard.

And it will drop very low.

They are actually very puzzled by this.

Is this really possible?

Ji Heng could see that several people were puzzled.

But that was exactly what he thought.

Now the cost of studying is too high. The cost of an ordinary bamboo slip is nearly ten dollars, and ordinary families can’t afford it at all. Even a doctor-level official with an annual rank of six hundred shi can only provide for a few children. , which shows the high cost of education.

However, the most important of his propositions is 'changing the country'.

How to change?
It is natural to start from the bottom.

The gap between the nobles and the bottom still exists.

Only by completely filling this gap can we truly transform the country.

Knowledge alters your fate!

It is not only the fate of individuals that has changed.

There are also countries!

Young Master Gao cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Ji, are you serious?"

"However, the cost of studying abroad today is so high that ordinary families can't afford it. Even if the court takes action, it may be difficult to maintain. The money and food consumed in it are even more massive. The court cannot agree to it, and it simply cannot support it. "

"Sir, you are exaggerating."

Ji Heng laughed lightly, and said indifferently: "The enrolling I mean is different from what you understand as 'enrolling'. In your eyes, enrolling means entering a school, changing your household registration, and becoming a reserve force for future officials of Daqin. Not for me."

"What I call Confucianism is very simple."

"Only teach literacy and hyphenation."

"It doesn't teach law, nor does it teach writing or military affairs."

Young Master Gao pondered for a while, shook his head again, and said in a concentrated voice: "The feasibility is still very low, and the cost of teaching is extremely huge. Families with lower titles can't afford it at all. Even if they only teach the most basic things, it is still not enough. Many households can afford it.”

Ji Heng nodded slightly, and said coldly: "Then lower the cost."

"Ok?"

Ji Heng smiled coldly and said, "The cost of studying is indeed very high, but where exactly is it?"

"The cost of the bamboo slips?"

"book?"

"Or a master who preaches and receives vocation?"

"There is no way to solve it when the bamboo is short, but is it true that ordinary people cannot learn Chinese because of the bamboo slips?"

"I don't think so."

"Besides, the bamboo slips are never the most important thing in preaching and receiving karma."

"It's books!"

"In the past, books were stored in the Zhou royal family and related princes. Later, the emperor lost his official position and learned in the four directions. A large number of books were scattered to the local areas, which then promoted the rise of various schools of thought, and at the same time created a flourishing age of contention among schools of thought. Even so, books In fact, it is still only in the hands of a few people.”

"Monopoly for the upper class!"

"With the unification of the world, knowledge once again began to concentrate at the upper levels."

"It's just getting worse."

"For the officials, nobles, and tyrants of the Great Qin Dynasty, they are actually happy to see this situation happen. At the same time, they are also happy to see Confucianism, because the imperial court does not value the ground at the bottom and does not occupy it. Someone else will take over."

"Wait a hundred years later."

"The world will form a strange situation."

"It is clear that the legal system is in power, but the influence of the legal system in the world is getting weaker and weaker."

"Confucianism is flourishing instead."

"As an imperial court, we should not only care about the interests of gains and losses for a while, but look at the world for ten years, a hundred years, and a thousand years, and sometimes even do things against the trend, lowering and popularizing education is what Daqin will really do in the future thing."

"only if."

"The foundation of Daqin is stable."

"It won't take advantage of Confucianism and let the legal system become a display."

heard.

Young Master Gao was also taken aback.

He never thought that the consequences of gathering knowledge at the top would be so serious.

But how could the imperial court have the money to afford so many people?

I don't want to.

But really can't do it.

Young Master Gao smiled wryly and said: "Mr. stands on a high ground, I really admire it, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. The imperial court can't afford money at all, so how can we realize the 'lower status and popularization' mentioned by Mr.?"

"Sir, you think too highly of the court."

Ji Heng shook his head.

He calmly said: "It's all about human effort."

"If Daqin wants to stabilize the world, he must stabilize the foundation."

"Education is really difficult now."

"But you can try to make some changes."

"The teaching of Qin Zhuan is very difficult, so give up Qin Zhuan and use the more concise official script."

"The cost of the classroom is very high, so don't go to the classroom."

"Only learn basic literacy."

"Literacy and hyphenation are very sophisticated."

"Then make some signs that are easy for ordinary people to understand."

"Everything is to reduce the difficulty of literacy and completely break the upper-level monopoly on knowledge."

"Let everyone know how to read and understand the law."

heard.

Young Master Gao and the others gasped.

Ji Heng's ambition is too great.

He is not even satisfied with degrading the nobility, but wants to promote the world and let everyone in the world have books to read. This kind of idea is too shocking and crazy. Even they, hearing this, only feel scalp hair numb.

Young Master Gao was short of breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, isn't this a little too crazy?"

"This may be scolded by scholars all over the world."

Ji Heng sneered, and said disdainfully: "Scholars in the world? How many are they? How many people are there in Guishou at the bottom of the world? How can their voices be louder than those of tens of millions of people? It is precisely because they control knowledge that they can always Be highly regarded by others, and when everyone in the world can read and write, how long will they be able to run rampant?"

"Father will not agree." Young Master Gao smiled wryly.

"You're wrong, Shihuang will definitely agree." Ji Heng's eyes were like torches, he was very sure of his opinion.

"Why?" Gong Zigao was very puzzled.

"Because Daqin needs to fulfill its promise, and if it wants to fulfill its promise of destroying the six kingdoms, it is doomed to pay a price. This is the minimum price paid by the court. Compared with the stability of Daqin, such a price is not considered in the eyes of the first emperor. What." Ji Heng said meaningfully: "Everything is for the world!"

Young Master Gao frowned.

He doesn't know much about these things.

So I can't refute it, I just feel a little trance.

Hu Hai was displeased when he heard it, and he took the initiative to say: "Mr. Ji, why do you feel that it has nothing to do with us? Even if the father really agrees with your idea and lowers the standard for admitting admission, it has nothing to do with us. What's the matter?"

"We have already graduated from the classroom."

"You can't let us continue to study?"

Ji Heng said lightly: "The merit of enlightenment will benefit thousands of years."

"This matter has not yet started, you know in advance, can't you do something?"

"What?" Hu Hai asked directly.

"Book!" Ji Heng said.

"Book?" Hu Hai frowned, and asked in confusion, "What book? Didn't there be a book that can read and write?"

Ji Heng shook his head and said with a light smile, "Of course there is a difference."

"As I said earlier, the imperial court cannot provide such high-quality teaching, so it will definitely lower the standards as much as possible. The main thing is to start with literacy, change Qin seal script to official script, and start from the literacy that takes a lot of time to master. To break characters, add some auxiliary signs to distinguish them, and then reduce the difficulty of reading and writing."

"Besides this time."

"The teaching instruments should also be changed."

"It no longer focuses on the actual household registration, books such as "Yushu" and "The Way of Being an Official", but replaces them with some lower-level books. The main function is to speed up students' literacy. Words dominate."

Young Master Gao hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "The imperial court also has such content."

""Cangjie Pian", "Bo Xue Pian" and "Yan Li Pian"."

Ji Heng shook his head.

"I know these three articles."

"These were written by Li Si, Hu Wujing, and Zhao Gao respectively, but the common characters are different from the Thousand Characters."

"All you have to do is compile teaching materials."

"These three articles can be used as a reference, but they are mainly based on common words."

"The difficulty increases year by year."

"In this regard, you can ask the officials of the Character Survey Office. They used to sort out the characters of the world. They have a deep understanding of the common characters of Qin and the common characters of the six regions, and finally compiled the most suitable for the enlightenment of the world. Teaching materials."

"Otherwise."

Ji Heng looked at Young Master Gao and Young Master Jiang Lu, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said meaningfully: "According to Da Qin's 'faint affairs' situation, you may have started a family early, and even your heirs will soon be going to school. If the textbooks you compile can speed up the learning progress of your own children, then those textbooks are qualified."

"You used to receive the best education in the world."

"So you have more right to speak."

"Continuously subdivide and simplify it, and finally compile a book suitable for the age of the general character."

"Such a great achievement."

"I believe that the first emperor will not be stingy with the title."

Hear Ji Heng's words.

Young Master Gao's eyes moved slightly.

They looked at each other with determination in their eyes.

If it is really feasible.

This is indeed a good idea.

After pondering for a long time, the young master cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir. I'll go back and try it out."

Ji Heng nodded slightly, and said: "You don't need to worry, you have enough time to try and make mistakes, as long as you can finally make a result, I believe that the first emperor will be able to see your efforts."

Hearing Ji Heng's words, there was a touch of excitement in the eyes of Young Master Gao and others.

As a Son of Man, who doesn't want to be recognized by his father?
　Today there are only [-] words.

　　It still owes [-] days to update the [-]D.

　　I feel that my body is in a bit of a condition, and future updates will be placed during the day.
