After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

The imperial study room has been turned on.

Eunuch Wei has come back a long time ago and has been waiting by the side, recording every word of the emperor!

As an old man in the palace, he was even more excited than Wen Boiyu and others at this moment.

When the late emperor was in power, he lived in Changle Palace for a long time and did not care about political affairs.

Those twenty years in Ningguo were twenty years of loss and twenty years of regression!

I once talked privately with Eunuch An, Eunuch Ma and others who were both old men in the palace, but in the end they all ended up sighing.

Gong An, Gong Ma and the others went to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb of the late emperor. The other eunuchs were all driven away, leaving him alone as an old eunuch in the palace.

It is one's duty to serve the emperor. To this newly appointed young emperor, Eunuch Wei strictly adheres to his duty and only asks about his daily life and never says a word about anything else!
But his old eyes can see.

Especially looking at people.

Judging from the short time since the emperor ascended the throne, what others thought was unreliable had a different flavor in his old eyes.

He likes this emperor.

I like his free and uninhibited temperament and his unconstrained thoughts.

I also like how shameless he is for money.

And, of course, his lackadaisical demeanor.

Such as this time.

The business seemed to be finished. After sitting for a day, Li Chenan seemed tired.

He crossed his legs without any image, and said to Wen Boiyu and others:

"Is it time for the next court?"

"We don't work overtime, and we won't get a penny more for overtime work."

"Let's go to Plum Garden!"

"I think the dog meat is almost stewed,"

He put his hands on his hands, lowered his legs, put on the deerskin boots, and turned to look at the four motionless people:
"Anything else?"

Nian Chengfeng seemed to be satisfied with what he heard.

Except for Shangshu Ling Qiyao, Nian Chengfeng and the other three are real scholars.

Li Chenan talked about so many issues about education, which just touched their hearts.

They care more about education than the economy and military!
After all, economics is all about producing goods and selling them into money to make profits. In the outdated thinking of many scholars, it is still not elegant!

It still smells like copper!

But it can bring tangible benefits, so the civil servants in the DPRK did not object.

Even if Li Chenan ascends the throne and makes big announcements about making money, they will sneer at the methods used to make money, but they will be extremely happy with the money they get!

Money can buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Alcohol available for purchase.

You can check the bar to listen to music!
Now Li Chenan wants to spend a lot of money on education, as if the silver has been plated with a layer of gold.

It no longer has the smell of copper, but has the fragrance of ink!

Nian Chengfeng looked at Li Chenan expectantly without getting up:

"Your Majesty, how about... let's talk some more?"

"...What else are we talking about?"

"Let's talk about the education reform you mentioned...what should be reformed?"

Li Chenan waved his hand: "It's too early to say this now."

"But I can just say a few words to give you some peace of mind."

"My general idea is that after universal education, these scientific examinations will be divided into different categories... roughly divided into two types: liberal arts and engineering."

"The liberal arts is similar to the current scientific examination. There is an examination every year and it is presided over by the Imperial College. However, some changes need to be made in the examination situation."

"Every scholar should try the five ways of strategy, and those who are proficient in arts and sciences should be considered superior, superior, middle, superior, inferior, and superior. Any four grades will be regarded as passing."

"In the Jinshi Department, the five subjects of time affairs and policy are tested, and one major classic is attached. All the classics are classified as the first grade."

"..." "Cancel poetry and add arithmetic."

"Poetry, lyrics, and songs, I still say the same thing, can be used to cultivate sentiments, but for the development of the country... it is really of no use!"

"The so-called engineering subject... I will take the test myself for the time being."

"Because they are not learning things from the Holy Scriptures."

"There are many kinds of talents in the world. Why should I ask the Ministry of Industry to select outstanding craftsmen and give them official positions?"

"These people, they may not be able to read, but they have extremely rich experience in their fields."

"And this kind of experience is not found in books, and it cannot be taught by teachers in the academy!"

"But this thing is the most important thing for a country!"

"Since I can't take the exam in the Gongyuan, I'll take the exam myself."

"This is a process of exploration, and it tells the world that we, Ningguo, will promote talented people in an eclectic way!"

"In the future, when Ningguo has the conditions, a special engineering college will be established..."

"Subsequent to the School of Liberal Arts, it specializes in cultivating talents for scientific research and talents with unique talents in certain aspects!"

"You can understand that this College of Engineering is a college run by the Ministry of Industry, and its teaching will be born from the outstanding craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences!"

"In short...the future direction of education is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude."

"There is no need for comprehensive talents, because such talents are rare."

"What we need are outstanding talents who are good at a certain thing and are committed to carrying forward the way they are good at!"

"Do you understand?"

The imperial study room was silent.

This idea was so advanced that Wen Boiyu and the other four had difficulty digesting it——

According to what the emperor means, everything is inferior but the thought of those who are well-educated and have been passed down for thousands of years will collapse because of this!
If it really comes true in time, there will no longer be such a thing as those who work hard to govern others and those who work hard to govern others!
Literati and craftsmen will coexist as equals.

Literati can govern the country so that the country operates well and normally, and craftsmen can create inventions and bring forth the new, promoting the progress of commerce and science.

The combination of the two is the progress of social civilization!

What a profound thought this is!

What impact will this have on society? !
I am afraid that scholars, no, students from engineering colleges will also be scholars in the future.

Those students who study sagely books and want to become masters may not be able to accept it.

And those readers who have a certain skill or are not interested in reading sages' books, but are interested in a certain craft, will definitely be happy.

The inherent social strata will be broken down as a result.

This thousand-year-old hierarchical concept of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce will also be completely changed.

Will this cause social unrest?
But the four of them thought again that Li Chenan's long-term plan did not prevent those who read the sage's book from rising.

He just reopened another channel.

This is a two-pronged approach!

So what will the resulting education look like?
It is not difficult to imagine that it will be a real era when a hundred flowers bloom!
Make the most of everyone’s talents!

The students trained as a result will also be future elite leaders in various industries!

With free money, even children from poor families who have certain talents in a certain industry will have huge room for advancement and have the opportunity to achieve class breakthroughs.

In the future, I am afraid there will no longer be class divisions.

The future may be a beautiful country of great harmony!

How did Li Chenan know that they had thought so much.

He had already stood up, "The road is long and long, we should search up and down!"

"If you ask, please ask. Now it's time to go home!"

"I said it's important to drink and eat dog meat right now. Otherwise, how can you have the strength to ask for food when you're hungry?"

"Let's go!" (End of chapter)
