The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 198 The so-called way of heaven is hidden both in the human heart and in physics!
"Uncle, I hold the alchemy conference for a purpose. It is not to ask for some panacea or the art of immortality, but to ask for skills in alchemy. Many of the skills they know are of great use to us. Let's use the gimmick of the alchemy conference to fool them first. , then take and use according to what you can. Otherwise, our Yungu is located in a remote location and is isolated from the Central Plains, so it will be difficult to find useful alchemists." Seeing that his second uncle had a misunderstanding about the alchemy conference, Song Yingkui I had to patiently explain the purpose of holding the alchemy conference.

However, Song Yingkui's patient explanation did not seem to dispel the second uncle's doubts. He still frowned, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Kuiwa, Yungu used to be a small force, and anyone who can help can be used. But. Nowadays, although there are not enough people under Yungu's rule, he is located in a strategic location, and he is already a force that can influence the situation. We must follow the right path in governance and should be based on righteous learning and cannot rely on petty skills. It is not a long-term solution."

"Uncle, what is a small skill and what is a great way? With Dazheng's so-called righteousness in governing politics, how can border troubles be pacified? How come the people in the border areas are abandoned! Tigers and wolves are on the side, and guns are more useful than Tianling Gai and mouth cannon. I, the Yungu Army, Because of the guns, we can deal with the tigers and wolves in the north of the Western Fan. With the tofu and tofu skins, the sergeants can keep up with the meat-eating feudal thieves. Both gunpowder and tofu came from the accidental gains of the warlocks. , is not learned from the principles of orthodox learning.

I insist on being based on craftsmanship, not just because I am a craftsman.But because I know that the sacred doctrine of the Central Plains is just a way to manage people, and it is just a study for officials.To govern the world, one must not only be good at managing people, but also be good at managing things.Specializing in governing people will only harm the country and the people.

Dazheng has been fighting with Beixiang, Xifan and other countries for a long time. Why has it never been able to gain the upper hand?Why did our previous dynasty in the Central Plains seal the wolf from Xu and prevent Hu Ma from crossing the Yin Mountains?There are many reasons for this, but there is one factor that few Dazheng officials have noticed.That is, compared with the Hu people in the previous dynasty, today's Xiang and Xifan can smelt better iron than their predecessors, while Dazheng lacks good iron.

Reading and literacy are not skills. As long as their financial resources are protected, most people can learn skills that are no worse than those of today's so-called scholars.In my opinion, the so-called correct learning is nothing more than basic learning. It is not as exaggerated as what scholars say. The key is whether you can improve your knowledge on top of basic learning.The so-called way of heaven is hidden not only in the human heart but also in physics. It does not care about things but only the heart. Children's learning is definitely not a great way! "

Song Yingkui, who was a little angry at his second uncle's remarks, said a long story to reason with his second uncle.What he dislikes and hears the most is the right way of learning!You cannot ignore this thing, but you cannot rely on it to be the only truth.Do you really expect this thing to be a meal?Any knowledge, once it is overly sanctified, is no different from the knowledge of magic sticks.

After hearing these words, Jiang Yunjin was stunned on the spot.What made him stunned was not just these remarks, but the collapse of his impression of Song Yingkui in his heart.He had always thought that Song Yingkui was just a talented rough man who had some abilities but could not reach the high road after all.But today's remarks are not something that a rough person can say. Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, people are considering this matter from a scholarly perspective.For this kind of consciousness, it is impossible for ordinary scholars to possess it. It requires a profound understanding.

The wind and clouds meet, the dragon and the tiger come out, this baby is a psychic person made in heaven. No wonder that a group of villagers can create today's foundation.And his achievements will probably not be limited to becoming a powerful player.I don’t know whether it is good or bad for the world?
"Uncle, our school has been running for several years, and it has always been limited to basic tasks such as literacy. It is not a long-term solution. Therefore, we need to improve the existing school system. The current government-run school is renamed a small school. It is set to last for three years, and all expenses will be borne by the city lord's palace. Under the rule of Yungu Jun, anyone who is willing to learn can enroll in a primary school for free. Within three to five years, all towns under the rule must set up at least one primary school. .

Above the primary school, there are four senior schools: Yungu Military Academy, Yungu Normal School, Yungu Industrial School, and Yungu Commercial School.In addition to the already opened military academy, the other three schools recruit students from primary school graduates through the unified admission examination.Those who pass the admissions exam can attend these three high-end schools for free.Primary school graduates who are not recruited can continue to study in primary schools at their own expense and have two opportunities to participate in the recruitment of senior schools.

In addition, due to the lack of students in the initial establishment of our academic system, and there are many scholars outside the country who want to serve our Yungu Army.In the next five years, anyone who wants to study in our Yungu Senior School only needs to register one month in advance to participate in the recruitment examination together with the graduates of the primary school. "

Seeing that his second uncle was stunned for a long time, Song Yingkui had to change the topic to let him recover.At present, the Yungu system has stabilized, and the education system needs to be improved.There must be a way out for students going to school, otherwise who would let their children go to school when they have nothing to do?
Despite the fact that the several schools currently run are free, there are not many students enrolled.Because there is no upward path such as the imperial examination, what will you do after studying in a school here for a few years?You can't go to Dazheng anymore to take the merit test, right?Besides, going to school is free, but it doesn’t mean there are no expenses and costs. It costs a lot for an eight or nine-year-old child to eat for free for three to five years.

Allowing primary school graduates two or three opportunities to take exams is to leave room for extending the schooling system in the future. Three years of universal education is too short. The ideal time should be five or six years.However, due to cost issues, there is currently no basis for opening a five- or six-year primary school.

"City Lord, how should we place the students who have graduated from these three high-end schools? Also, do we have to imitate Dazheng's scientific examination to select officials?" When it comes to running schools, the second uncle's spirit immediately calmed down. This thing He is familiar.

"Students from industrial and commercial schools will take a graduation exam after completing three years of study. Students who pass the exam and obtain a diploma will be assigned to serve in various industries and administrative departments of the city government and even in the military. Graduates of normal schools, The students will be assigned to primary schools in each town to teach. As for the idea of ​​selecting officials following the example of Dazheng, we will not consider it for the time being. The vacancies of officials at all levels of the administrative department will be recommended by the officials at the lower level. The lowest officials will be elected among the civil servants, The various properties of the city lord's mansion, as well as the selection of military sergeants.

By the way, in the future, military officers and officials at all levels in the Administration Department can exchange their needs. When the Administration Department is short of officials, officers can be transferred from the military and selected for appointment! "

I'm going to hold an imperial examination. Our system is so big. What's the point of setting up an imperial examination?Before time travel, Song Yingkui thought that the imperial examination system was similar to the civil service examination in later generations.But now he discovered that these were two completely different things.The imperial examination should be similar to the selection classes in later generations that focus on cultivating reserve cadres. For example, if you are admitted to the Jinshi, although the level may be relatively low at the beginning, the personnel relations belong to the central court and cannot be viewed completely as a local official.

For someone like my second uncle, who is a member of the imperial family, his treatment is a bit worse.He should be regarded as a provincial reserve cadre whose personnel relations are in the province. If he does well, he may hold an important position in the provincial government. However, unless he encounters a great opportunity in this life, he will not be able to be a pillar of the country or a frontier official.
