A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 349 A hundred schools of thought contend and are inclusive
Xiao He hurriedly returned home from Anyi, and then went to Luoyang with people, gold, silver, pearls, jade and rare treasures.Although it is said that the books of Luoyang Academy can be copied by the scholars of the Academy, there are too many tricks in it.

If he doesn't bring enough benefits to do one or two things, let alone copying, even if he queues to death, he won't be able to copy.

In Journey to the West in his previous life, Monk Tang finally arrived at Lingshan Mountain after going through a lot of hardships and 81 hardships. He was about to obtain the scripture before his eyes. What was the result?The law is not passed lightly!There is no personnel, and all you get is a pile of wordless books.

How much time and effort it took for the royal family to collect and preserve these books. Every year, in order to maintain these bamboo slips, they needed to be greased to prevent them from being eaten by insects. This was so expensive that even a powerful family could not afford it.

Besides, the country has been divided into the Taifu and the Shaofu. The royal family's money belongs to the Shaofu. There are so many children in the clan. The children of the public clan need to be maintained. The Yulin Guards need to be maintained. Don't they need money?

No matter how good the relationship is, you still need to eat.

Although it is not stated clearly, it still costs money to copy books. Of course, if you don't copy and just read, it doesn't cost money.

Xiao He is not an exception. In fact, after Luoyang heard that it would be open to book copying, all the schools in the world rushed to Luoyang.Moreover, the people who came were not the disciples of various schools, but the leaders of the schools.

They knew very well what the opening of the academy and its collection of books meant this time.The right to interpret scriptures, to use another term, is the right to interpret scriptures.

To put it in more detail, it is the basis of being an official. Only by learning these things can you be qualified to be an official.

post house.

A group of students followed a few old men to the post house to rest. After entering the post house to rest, one of the younger students asked: "Teacher, since the imperial court has opened the academy and allowed the copying of books, why are we here in such a hurry? ?”

The old man smiled and said, "Do you think those are just books?
Your Majesty reopened the academy and allowed scholars to come and copy. Then the next step is to increase the number of official schools and select officials! "

"Being an official means that your school is an official school, and disciples will continue to come to study. However, if you cannot become an official school, then this line of theory will gradually decline and eventually disappear silently into history.

At that time, a hundred schools of thought contended, a hundred flowers bloomed, and the debates among the scholars were so prosperous. But the doctrines at that time were not just a hundred schools of thought. But do you think how many of them are still passed down today?

This is a major event related to whether a school of theory can be passed on. I don't seek the prosperity of the school, I just want to pass these things on to future generations! "

"If we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait for decades or even hundreds of years if we want to get it again. If this is really the case, we will be the sinners of the school!"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent and understood how rare this opportunity was.

Luoyang, Xuegong.

After the split, Taixue and Academy were officially opened.

After three months of debate in the Luoyang Academy, Wang Ke established seventeen classics doctors in the academy and selected seventeen schools to join the official school.

This includes many classics such as Fa, Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Agriculture, and Military.

Among them, seven of the seventeen schools are mainly Legalist, and the remaining ten are from other schools.The disciplines taught by Taixue are also these seventeen.In the Qianyuan Palace.

Wang Ke was listening to the prince and Wang Zhe's report on the affairs of the Academy.

He basically knows everything that happens in the Academy, and he personally formulated the 17 schools in the Academy.

Even the Confucians who were reprimanded by Wang Luo were not treated differently by Wang Ke.

"I didn't expect that Confucianism would be the most popular school besides Legalism!"

"Your Majesty, the Confucians have always wanted to build an ideal country, a kingly country where the world is unified. Now that the world is unified, they can only have a chance with His Majesty's approval, so they will definitely come!"

"As for other schools of thought, they also want to build an ideal country according to their own ideas. Although many schools of thought have different theories and methods, their ultimate goals are very similar."

"For example, Confucianism believes that the country should be governed by etiquette, law, and morality. The emperor and his ministers will respect each other. The monarch will listen to advice and become wise. His ministers will become wise people. Officials will govern with clarity. Land annexation and oppression will disappear. Then the land will be divided according to household registration. If we divide it equally, the world will be unified."

"Although there are differences among several other schools of Confucianism, they are not very different, and one of them regards "Huai Gong Chun Qiu" as a scholarly classic."

Wang Ke smiled slightly and said: "If you want to rely on morality and etiquette to govern the country, you will only end up with a group of hypocrites! As for the kingdom of kings described by Confucianism, it is equally difficult to establish. Now it seems that a family with a hundred acres can The land is feasible, but if the population gradually increases, will the land be divided enough?
I think it’s not enough, what should I do?Reduce land per household?Or expand the territory?A group of moral models going to expand their territory? "

"The country described by Confucianism is beautiful, but this road is unworkable."

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. The royal path of Confucianism will not work." Wang Zhe said.

"To be precise, it is impossible for any one country to govern the country alone. The best way is for a hundred schools of thought to contend and be inclusive."

"How difficult it is for a hundred schools of thought to contend and a hundred flowers to bloom!" Wang Ke shook his head slightly and said: "Daqian covers a territory of five thousand miles and has a population of nearly 3000 million. If the policy policy is changed overnight, the consequences will be very serious."

"Above the court, no matter which school of thought is in charge, no one school is allowed to dominate. The promotion of other schools will not be affected. These schools can survive."

Wang Ke listened carefully to everyone's stories and felt that the advantages of doing so outweighed the disadvantages at the moment.Although Daqian has always used Legalism to govern the country, it is not static. If Legalism is no longer suitable for the times in the future, other schools of thought will naturally be chosen.

Wang Ke's appointment of many schools of thought is actually very beneficial. Mohism and Gongshu have always been candidates for master craftsmanship. Both families are proficient in various instruments. What will happen if a Confucian is replaced?Mohists and public losers are just the right balance.

The same is true for military strategists. If you want to command an army, you must be a military strategist or practice military strategist theory, otherwise one general will be incompetent and the three armies will be exhausted.

Although Wang Ke is not interested in Confucianism and has always promoted Legalism, whether it is the court or local governments, they also need moral restraint, rather than using Legalist techniques to calculate. The consequences of this have already been demonstrated by South Korea's Shen Buhai. .

Therefore, Wang Ke still expressed support for Confucianism, especially the scholars of the school of "Huai Gong Chun Qiu".The Confucian disciples of this sect were quickly admitted after taking the exam.
