The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

Yi Huawei looked around at everyone in the hall, with a smile on his face and a deep gaze, and said slowly:
"The land of China where we live is a vast region that has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes and great changes. Since Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi wore straw sandals, held wooden sticks and stone tools, walked fearlessly between heaven and earth, fought hard for the people of Kyushu, and won a stable place to live, the legendary journey of my Yanhuang lineage has officially begun.

The rise of the Xia Dynasty, the emergence of bronze ware, and the initial formation of the official system. Although the people's lives were still difficult at that time, the dawn of civilization had already appeared. Then, the Shang Dynasty came, the technology of bronze casting reached maturity, food was abundant, and the feudal system was implemented.

At that time, the country gradually showed signs of prosperity, and the lives of the people also improved a little. Then, the Zhou Dynasty lasted for more than 500 years, the method of casting iron was invented, and the military power became increasingly powerful. However, the princes continued to quarrel and fight, and wars broke out one after another. The people were deeply trapped in suffering, and the pain was difficult to describe in words.

Our Great Qin has been blessed by heaven. After six generations of unremitting efforts, the former kings worked hard day and night, and laid a solid foundation for the rise of the Great Qin. In the end, with a powerful force, the six kingdoms were swept away and the feat of unifying the six kingdoms was achieved. This is a great cause that conforms to the will of heaven and the will of the people. Now, the world is unified, and the scene of prosperity has just begun to emerge.

Everyone, you all have extraordinary talents and hold unique doctrines. In the past, you have worked hard for various countries. But now the situation is different. Various countries have perished, and only the Great Qin stands proudly on the land of China. I know that you care about the world and your ambition is to seek the welfare of the people. You have all done your best for the inheritance and development of Chinese civilization. This kind of mind is admirable. At this critical moment, I implore you to put aside your prejudices against various countries and serve the Great Qin wholeheartedly.

Confucianism advocates benevolence and etiquette. If Confucianism is used to teach the people, so that they understand etiquette and abide by morality, then the world will be in order. In the past, Confucius traveled around the countries, although he experienced hardships and dangers, but his ambition did not change. In order to promote the way of benevolence and etiquette, he worked tirelessly. Now if Confucianism is used to educate the people of Daqin, it will surely make the people simple and honest and the society harmonious.

Taoism advocates natural inaction. Laozi rode a green ox out of Hangu Pass and left the Tao Te Ching. His words are mysterious and profound. If the country can be governed by the Taoist philosophy, so that the people can follow nature and not act recklessly, then the country can be stable and long-lasting.

Legalists advocated ruling the country by law. If we can make the laws of Qin more strict and fair, we will be able to ensure that orders are immediately executed and prohibitions are not violated. Shang Yang's reforms gave Qin a new look and greatly increased its national strength. Now we should inherit the cause of our predecessors and govern the country with the strict laws of Legalists to ensure that government orders are smooth and the country is stable.

Mohism advocates universal love and non-aggression. This concept can help the Qin Dynasty maintain peace and allow the people to rest and have children. Mozi stopped the Chu State from attacking the Song State and resolved a war crisis with his wisdom and courage. If the Mohist doctrine of universal love and non-aggression can be promoted, the world will surely be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace.

Military strategists are good at strategy and warfare, and can defend the territory and country for the Qin Dynasty. If the Qin army is trained with the strategies of military strategists, the military might of the Qin Dynasty will surely be able to deter all directions.

We in the Great Qin have always been recruiting talents widely, and we only value talents. No matter what family background you have, no matter which school you belong to, as long as you have real talents and knowledge, you can be used by the Great Qin. We should work hand in hand and contribute our respective strengths to the prosperity of the Great Qin and the glorious future of Chinese civilization.

I hope you will seriously consider my words, abandon past prejudices, and work hard together for Daqin. I firmly believe that with our concerted efforts, Daqin will surely create an unprecedented glorious era…”

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and everyone was thinking about what Yi Huawei had just said.

Yi Huawei looked around, looked at the silent crowd, and smiled slightly:
"I have said so much, it is time to get straight to the point. I am planning to build the Imperial Royal Academy, and I hope you can support me!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Imperial Royal Academy? What is this? It sounds like a college. Everyone muttered to themselves.

Li Si and the others only understood the purpose of Yi Huawei's banquet tonight at this moment. They looked at each other and chose to watch in silence to see what would happen. However, the people from various schools had different reactions when they heard Yi Huawei's words.

Chang Wuyu, the representative of the famous family, was moved. He bowed and said respectfully, "Prime Minister, can you tell us in detail about this Imperial Academy?"

Everyone in the hall immediately focused their attention on Yi Huawei.

Yi Huawei nodded slightly, cleared his throat, and slowly said: "The Imperial Royal Academy will be the highest institution of learning in the Great Qin Empire. I intend to temporarily set up nine branches in the academy: mathematics, physics, chemistry, military, law, engineering, philosophy, literature, and natural sciences."

When everyone heard these unfamiliar terms, they looked puzzled. Yi Huawei seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction. He continued to explain slowly: "Law is needless to say. Mathematics is the study of the laws and operations of numbers. Physics explores the principles of all things. Chemistry studies the changes of matter. Military, of course, is a place to train generals. Engineering is related to many aspects such as construction and manufacturing. Philosophy thinks about the fundamentals of life and the world. Literature is a place to inherit culture and express emotions. Natural science covers the mysteries of the universe."

Everyone was confused and looked at each other.

"May I ask, Prime Minister, who will be the president of the Royal Academy? Where will the students come from?" Although he did not know what these unfamiliar terms specifically stood for, Kong Yu still put these questions aside and asked the two questions that everyone was most concerned about.

Yi Huawei glanced at everyone, his eyes fell on Li Si, then turned back to everyone and said with a smile:

"As for the dean, of course, it will be held by the Emperor of Great Qin himself."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Hu Hai is the dean? Does he know what natural science and chemistry are? Isn't it you, Yi Huawei, who is in control?
Li Si cursed the old fox in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. Among the nine colleges, law is already one of them, but this student...

Without paying attention to Li Si's little calculations, Yi Huawei continued calmly, "As for the source of students, in the future, each county and township in our Great Qin will have a township school, a county school, and a prefecture school. This is a major layout made by our Great Qin to cultivate future pillars. The court will bear the food, clothing, housing and transportation of all students, ensuring that they have no worries and can devote themselves to their studies.

In the rural school, those who are smart and motivated, such as farm children and market boys, will be selected. They may have worked in the fields or played in the streets, but as long as they have a heart to learn, the rural school will open its doors to them. The teachers in the rural school will teach them the most basic knowledge, such as literacy and arithmetic, cultivate their moral character and etiquette, and lay a solid foundation for their future study.

The county school will accept outstanding students who have stood out from the township school, as well as some teenagers with special talents. The teaching here will be more in-depth and systematic, covering multiple fields such as literature, history, and arithmetic. The teachers of the county school will guide the students to make continuous progress with strict requirements and patient teaching. Students here will learn to think and debate, and cultivate their own independent views and innovative thinking.

The county school brings together elite students from all districts and counties. They will receive the highest level of education and be exposed to the most cutting-edge knowledge. Knowledge from various branches such as military, engineering, and philosophy will be taught in depth here. The county school will provide the best talents for the Imperial Royal Academy, and they will become the backbone of the future of Daqin.

The reason why the imperial court provides free food, clothing, housing and transportation for all students is because talents are the future of the country. Only when students have no worries about life can they pursue knowledge without distraction. This is not only an educational measure, but also an important strategy for our Great Qin to move towards a glorious future. "

After hearing Yi Huawei's words, the hall fell into silence. Everyone was thinking about the feasibility and impact of this plan.

The establishment of this Imperial Royal Academy is undoubtedly a major move. It will integrate the teachings of hundreds of schools of thought and cultivate all kinds of talents for Daqin.

However, this plan also faces many challenges. First of all, these new subjects are unfamiliar to most people. How to make people accept and learn these subjects is a difficult problem. Secondly, where does the faculty of the college come from? How to ensure that the teachers have sufficient knowledge and teaching ability? Furthermore, what are the selection criteria for students? How to ensure that truly talented students are selected? Finally, the management and operation of the college is also a major issue. How to ensure the normal operation of the college and play the greatest role? Yi Huawei seemed to be aware of these problems. He looked at everyone and said slowly: "Everyone, the establishment of the Imperial Royal Academy is for the prosperity of my Great Qin and for the inheritance and development of Chinese civilization. This is a great cause that requires our joint efforts. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome difficulties."

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became heated, and people began to discuss. Some people admired the grandeur of this plan, some were worried about the difficulties involved, and some were thinking about their own role in this plan.

Li Si pondered for a moment and said, "Master Zhao, although this plan is grand, it is not easy to implement. Not to mention the selection of students and the problem of teachers, the construction and management of these eight branches alone will require a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources."

Yi Huawei nodded and said, "Master Li is right. The court can allocate special funds for the construction and operation of the academy. The selection of students can be done through a combination of examinations and recommendations to ensure that truly talented students are selected. As for the teachers, I will make my own arrangements."

Yi Huawei already has a comprehensive plan in mind.

If the 3,000 boys and girls on Yingzhou Island who have already learned high school courses could be distributed throughout the country to educate young children, it would be like a spark that would ignite the hope of education in the Qin Dynasty.

A grand picture emerged in Yi Huawei's mind: three thousand teachers rushed to various parts of Daqin. With the mission of spreading knowledge, they went into villages and towns, opened the door of wisdom for those ignorant children, and allowed them to plant the seeds of knowledge at the most appropriate age.

"Quiet!"

Yi Huawei looked solemn, his eyes swept across the people in the hall, and he slowly said: "In the future, the Great Qin should establish the country with laws, support the people with agriculture, strengthen the army with Mohism, save the world with medicine, teach with Taoism, and educate the world with Confucianism. People from all families have their own places to serve the country, and all can be used. This is the purpose of this Royal Academy that I want to build."

Establishing a country by law means that Daqin will establish a strict legal system to ensure the stability and order of the country, so that government orders can be implemented smoothly and the people can abide by the rules and disciplines.

The policy of supporting the people through agriculture emphasizes the importance of agriculture as the foundation of the country. Farmers work hard to provide food and materials for the country and ensure the basic living needs of the people.

The Mohist strategy of strengthening the army will build a powerful army for the Qin Dynasty to protect the country's security and territorial integrity. The Mohist philosophy of non-aggression will also reduce the occurrence of wars to a certain extent and bring peace to the people.

Using medicine to save the world and having a kind heart, doctors will relieve people's pain and improve their health level.

The whole teaching of Taoism can guide people to pursue inner peace and harmony, and cultivate talents with morality and wisdom for the country. And Confucianism can educate the world, haha…

After a pause, Yi Huawei continued, "Each school of thought has its essence, and naturally it also has its dross. I also hope that you can get rid of the dross and stop arguing with each other. You must know that everyone has their own specialties. We are all descendants of the Yan and Huang lineage, the Chinese race. Why don't the various schools of thought compare to see who can better care for the people of the world? Which school can better seek the welfare of the people of the world?"

Yi Huawei's words immediately moved the people of all schools of thought, and they were all excited. Especially the Confucianists such as Kong Yu, who were extremely excited. Wasn't the reason for the Confucianists to enter the court openly and honestly?
However, what Kong Yu didn't know was that the world that Yi Huawei talked about seemed to be a little different from the world they imagined.

When the important officials of the Qin Dynasty heard Yi Huawei's words, the whole palace was in an uproar, as if a huge rock had been thrown into a lake.

Although Zhang Han, Wang Ben and others were shocked, their years of experience in the battlefield and the ups and downs of the court made them calm and composed. They remained silent, but their eyes showed a thoughtful look. They knew that Yi Huawei's words would definitely set off a huge change in Daqin, and they needed to find their own position in this change.

However, Li Si, Feng Jie, Yao Jia and others suddenly became anxious.

Educate the world? ! !

Li Si's face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he was the first to speak: "Master Li, you must not do that!"

Feng Quji and Yao Jia hurriedly echoed, "Absolutely not!"

The grievances between Confucianism and Legalism can be traced back to ancient times. Confucianism advocates governing the country with virtue, emphasizing benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and trustworthiness. It advocates governing the country through moral influence so that the people will consciously abide by social norms. In the ideals of some Confucian scholars, rulers should treat the people with benevolence and promote etiquette like the ancient sage kings Yao, Shun, and Yu. They believe that if the rulers set an example and practice benevolence, the people will naturally be influenced, and the society will be harmonious and stable. In a country, by holding various ritual activities such as sacrifices, weddings, funerals, etc., the people will understand the order of seniority and the difference between the noble and the humble, and then regulate people's behavior.

The Legalists, on the other hand, advocated ruling the country by law, emphasizing the authority and strictness of the law. The Legalists believed that human nature was evil, and only through strict legal constraints could the people obey the rule and the country be stable. For example, when Shang Yang was reforming the Qin State, he formulated clear legal provisions and made strict regulations on military merits, agricultural production, etc. Violators were severely punished, such as beheading and exile. In the Qin State, the system of joint responsibility was implemented. If one person committed a crime, the people around him would also be implicated if they did not report it, so as to ensure the enforcement of the law.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were constant conflicts among countries, and the ideas of Confucianism and Legalism were practiced to varying degrees in different countries.

Some countries adopted Confucianism and focused on moral education, but in times of frequent wars, it was often difficult to achieve significant results. For example, the State of Lu once promoted Confucianism and focused on etiquette, but when faced with powerful foreign enemies, it seemed powerless and was eventually annexed by other countries.

Some countries adopted the ideas of the Legalists and strengthened their rule through harsh laws and punishments. Although this could improve the country's strength in the short term, it was also easy to cause resentment among the people. For example, during the period of Shen Buhai's reform, the Kingdom of Han implemented a strict legal system, which made the country strong for a period of time. However, because the laws were too harsh, the people lived in hardship and ultimately failed to maintain their strength for a long time.

In the Qin Dynasty, the Legalist thought has always been dominant. Since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin Dynasty has ruled the country by law and established a strict legal system, making the country rapidly strong. Li Si and other important officials are also staunch supporters of the Legalists. They believe that only by ruling the country by law can the stability and unity of the Qin Dynasty be ensured.

However, Confucianism was not without influence in the Qin Dynasty. Confucianism was widely spread among the people, and some scholars and intellectuals highly praised Confucianism. They believed that after the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, it should pay more attention to moral education to ease social conflicts and consolidate the foundation of its rule.

The conflict between the Confucian and Legalist ideologies was also reflected in the court of the Qin Dynasty. The two sides often argued over the formulation of policies and the governance of the country.

Now, Yi Huawei proposed "establishing the country with laws, supporting the people with agriculture, strengthening the army with Mohism, saving the world with medicine, teaching with Taoism, and educating the world with Confucianism", which undoubtedly made the contradiction between Confucianism and Legalism more prominent. Li Si and others were worried that once the influence of Confucianism expanded, it might weaken the status of Legalism and affect the ruling order of Qin.
