Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

"What?!"

Sima Nan was startled for a moment, then couldn't help but jump up.

"Your Majesty is wise, wise!"

"Liaocheng can be saved, Liegan can be saved, and all the people in the world can be saved!"

"On behalf of the 30 people in Liaocheng, I would like to express my gratitude to the Prince for his kindness!"

Su Liyan on the side had a complicated expression, "Brother, what are you planning?"

"Thirty thousand taels of silver is enough to recruit two thousand more families."

"The renaissance of Liaocheng has just started. There are so many places to spend money, so why waste it?"

"If you have too much money and no place to spend it, why don't you buy me some more jewelry?"

Lu Yuan grinned and said, "Li Yan, this is not a waste, but money that must be spent."

"Education is related to the future of Liaocheng and the national destiny of the Lieqian Dynasty."

"If you save money on education, it is like breaking your own arm."

Sima Nan on the side nodded desperately, "The prince is wise, the prince said it well!"

Su Liyan still didn't understand, but she could only snort and said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll go get him some money right now."

"Don't rush."

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said with a slight smile, "Sima Nan, you just said that you plan to open thirty schools in Liaocheng?"

"Then there must be many knowledgeable people like you around you, right?"

"Your Majesty is right!"

Sima Nan nodded immediately, "When I was in Liaocheng, I had many old classmates who had studied hard together. They were brothers and sisters."

"They are talented, but they have not been hired by the court. They have always been looking forward to setting up schools in the city and passing on their unfulfilled aspirations to the next generation."

"But at the time, the Liaocheng County Magistrate was a corrupt official who preyed on the common people. He only knew how to get money into his own pocket."

"Fortunately, now, Your Majesty, you are here, Liaocheng is finally saved, and the people finally have hope!"

Lu Yuan touched his chin and grinned, "Okay!"

"In this case, you should immediately go look for those brothers and sisters of yours."

"Then, let them mobilize their respective connections and invite all the literati from the entire Liaocheng and a dozen surrounding cities to come here."

"This……"

Sima Nan was stunned for a moment, with confusion on his face, "Why does the prince want to recruit so many people?"

"Only thirty, which is really too few."

"Even if a family can produce two students who have passed the examination, there will only be sixty."

Lu Yuan grinned and said enthusiastically, "If you want to open one, open three hundred schools!"

"Let Liaocheng and more than a dozen surrounding cities and counties, as well as towns and villages, be covered by schools."

"Let the dolls learn to talk, and they will have books to read!"

At this moment, in Sima Nan's eyes, Lu Yuan's figure was as majestic as a god.

The world only praises Confucius and Mencius for teaching without distinction and for teaching each other.

But compared with the prince, what Confucius and Mencius did is not worth mentioning at all.

In this impetuous and impoverished Lieqian Dynasty.

The prince is the Guangsha for all their scholars.

It can protect the poor people all over the world and make them happy!
Back at the government office, Lu Yuan was in a happy mood and drank tea leisurely.

Su Liyan, on the other hand, was making calculations, and her expression became a little ugly.

"Your Majesty, these 3 taels of silver are not a small amount."

"Most of the silver you left in Liaocheng has been used to distribute it to the victims who returned home."

"If we spend another 3 taels, the government's accounts will be stretched thin."

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "There is plenty of money."

"Why don't you go there yourself later and bring some more from the land of Luxi?"

Su Liyan couldn't help but wonder, "Master Shizi, what are you thinking about?"

"Why take so much money to do meaningless things?"

"Li Yan, as I just said, this is not meaningless."

Lu Yuan said meaningfully, "It is the cornerstone for building unprecedented great achievements!"

to be frank.

Before regaining Guishu and getting "Teaching".

Lu Yuan was also vague and had only a limited understanding of education.

I just sometimes listen to Gu Shiqing talk about "education without distinction" and "education through entertainment".

It goes in from the left ear and comes out from the right ear. It is just a wind in the ear and does not enter the brain at all.

However, I read the content in "Teaching".

Only then did Lu Yuan truly understand the importance of education.

The current system for selecting officials in the imperial court is based on the imperial examination.

At first glance, it seems fair.

But upon closer inspection, it feels extremely dark.

Give the simplest example.

Modern people often joke that if they went to ancient times, they would be a poor student at best.

But in fact, the vast majority of modern people simply cannot reach the threshold of poverty.

The so-called poor family must mean that the ancestors have produced some famous ministers and generals.

It was only later that some accidents occurred, which led to its decline.

To be called a poor family, at least the family must have several hundred acres of land, three or four rooms, and have servants to serve them.

After crossing these thresholds, you only have the qualifications to study and take scientific examinations.

The vast majority of ordinary people are either farmers, slaughter pigs and sell meat, or are small businessmen.

It is simply impossible to spend a lot of money to provide a student.

In other words, as long as you can sit in the examination room of the scientific examination, you are at least from a wealthy family.

It's so unfair to real ordinary people.

It will also cause the court to lose countless talents invisibly.

And what Lu Yuan wants to do is not just open one or two private schools.

Instead, we should follow the example of modern times and universalize compulsory education across the board.

This great undertaking is a big project.

It is countless times bigger than running Luxi or Liaocheng.

First of all, he must have the support of the emperor.

Secondly, at the beginning, you have to spend a lot of money.

However, Lu Yuan firmly believed.

As long as this great undertaking can be achieved.

In addition, in the future, he will reform the imperial examination system into the college entrance examination system.

It will definitely make all the officials in the world completely change their appearance and have a completely new look.

For the eternal life of Lieqian dynasty, it has made countless merits.

……

That day, in the evening.

A large group of literati came to Liaocheng from surrounding cities.

I heard that the prince was willing to provide money to help them set up a school.

Each of these literati was extremely excited. They put down all the matters at hand and set off immediately.

Among them, there was an old scholar with a pale beard and hair who was over seventy years old.

It turned out that he was seriously ill and had been bedridden for many days. He was already terminally ill and dying.

But after hearing the news, he miraculously jumped off the couch.

He directly ordered his servant to drive five hundred miles to see the prince.

Not long ago, hundreds of literati gathered in the government office.

Most of them, like Sima Nan, had been selected as a scholar.

The most outstanding one turned out to be a candidate for the rural examination during the Hongwu Dynasty.

He was the magistrate of Xiangyang, worked diligently and achieved remarkable results.

However, just as he was about to rise to the top in his official career, he was implicated in the Hu case.

Only then did he end up being dismissed from office and left alone.

"Your Majesty!"

Sima Nan said excitedly, "All 470 nine scribes from Liaocheng and surrounding cities have arrived!"

"Greetings to the Crown Prince!"

Everyone knelt down and paid homage.

Looking at the old man who was over seventy years old, he staggered and almost collapsed on the ground.Lu Yuan hurriedly waved his hand in fear, "No need to be polite."

"Everyone, this prince has summoned you here just to run the school."

"But, do you know what is taught in this school?"

"Of course!"

Sima Nan said without thinking, "Of course it is the book of the sages and the way of the sages!"

"Your Majesty, all the scholars here are proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, a collection of classics and history."

"When it comes to teaching talent, he is by no means inferior to the great master in the imperial court!"

Everyone looked proud and proud.

Obviously, he has full confidence in his talents and learning.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and shook his head, "No."

"Study books but don't imitate Confucian scholars."

"What's the use of learning those pretentious things, apart from talking nonsense, being arrogant all day long, looking down on this and looking down on that?"

As soon as these words came out, Sima Nan and others' faces instantly became a little ugly.

Those who have a mouth full of things will be empty-eyed all day long...

Is the prince just criticizing them?

Zhao Kuo, the former imperial minister, stepped forward and asked cautiously, "How dare you ask the prince, what do you plan to teach in the school?"

"Good question."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Sima Nan.

Everyone came forward to take a look, and their expressions instantly became extremely strange.

On the white paper, there were only six words written in twelve large characters.

"Chinese studies?"

"Mathematics?"

"Foreign language?"

"mechanical?"

"world?"

"Objectification?"

All the scholars had complicated expressions and asked in confusion, "Master, what does this mean?"

"Why have we never read these books you mentioned?"

“It’s not a book, it’s a subject.”

Lu Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Let every student choose their favorite field to study according to their own talents and interests."

Immediately, he took his time and explained to these scholars one by one.

"The so-called Chinese studies are what you gentlemen are best at."

"Poems, lyrics, and rhymes, covering history from ancient times to the present, especially the history of the Lieqian Dynasty and the previous dynasties, must be familiar to students and draw lessons from them."

"Mathematics is..."

After listening to Lu Yuan's explanation.

The scholars suddenly became more puzzled one by one.

"Your Majesty, this...is this a little too crazy?"

Sima Nan smiled bitterly and said, "As a student, you should naturally learn the eight-part essay."

"What's the use of messing around with these numbers and symbols?"

Zhao Kuo also didn't understand and said: "Yes, the prince."

"I, Liegan, am the lord of the world. When all nations come to court, it should be those small overseas countries that learn our writing."

"What's the use of learning these foreign languages?"

The other Vincentians also agreed.

He believed that the subjects such as mechanics, heaven and earth, and physics and chemistry proposed by Lu Yuan were all useless.

Moreover, they all revealed the most serious problems.

The prince wants to teach these things.

We won't.

"Everyone, listen carefully."

Lu Yuan cleared his throat and said loudly, "Studying is not just to take part in scientific examinations and please the king and examiners."

"It's to gain knowledge and become talented, to enrich experience, and to contribute to the century-old foundation of Lieqian Dynasty."

"The six major subjects I have formulated are all carefully considered."

"Even if there are some flaws, it is definitely more effective than those subsets of Classics and History."

"As for you guys who don't know how to do it, it's easy to handle."

Lu Yuan grinned and said, "I would like to invite you all to be a student for a few days before becoming a teacher."

"I will teach you all this knowledge first."

"Then, it's up to you to teach it to your children."

They are all celebrities in Liaocheng area, and they are quite famous in Liegan.

Wouldn't it be a joke to go back to being a student?
Sima Nan and others were a little reluctant.

But no matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to agree.

no way.

If they want to run a school, they have to rely on the money of the prince.

Be a student, just be a student.

However, after Lu Yuan gave lectures for three days.

All scholars are sincerely convinced by the wisdom of the prince.

And there is no doubt about the necessity of these six major subjects.

Lu Yuan's courses are vivid and engaging.

In addition, the knowledge taught is something they have never heard of.

Everyone attends every class every day half an hour early, and no one is late.

Lu Yuan relied on the educational methods in "Teaching".

It took a month.

All these writers have been completely transformed.

In the last class, he went out of his way to write six test papers.

Let all literary students usher in the first exam in their lives.

And based on their final results, they were assigned areas in which they were best at.

For example, Sima Lun and dozens of others were responsible for mathematics.

Zhao Kuo and dozens of other people were responsible for the machinery...

After Lu Yuan's training, these literary students truly became knowledgeable and all-rounders.

Even in modern times, anyone can become a qualified teacher.

Look at these talents that I have devoted all my efforts to cultivate.

Lu Yuan suddenly felt relieved that the stupid apprentice had finally started his apprenticeship.

I wish everyone could give them a teacher qualification certificate.

He cleared his throat and said calmly: "Everyone."

"During the month you are studying, I have ordered people to build schools in Liaocheng and surrounding cities."

"Tomorrow, our school will officially start recruiting students."

"Every six of you will be in charge of a school based on the subjects you are best at."

"If anyone teaches well, I will reward you heavily."

"Thank you, Sir!"

Everyone nodded happily.

Sima Nan asked, "Master, I have another question."

"How much tuition will we charge for enrolling students in our school?"

According to the usual practice, if you want to send your children to private schools.

Or a year's worth of money.

Or use some grain, bacon, eggs and other things to offset it.

However, their school is different.

What they teach is not something that anyone can teach like the Four Books and Five Classics.

They are the six major subjects created by the Prince, the only ones in the world.

Naturally, the pricing of tuition fees cannot be the same as those of ordinary private schools...

"Good question."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said calmly, "All the schools we have opened in Liaocheng and surrounding cities..."

"Nothing will be taken from you!" (End of this chapter)
