back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 691
Lu Chengqi knew that although Kong Lin was a bit stubborn, his knowledge was not limited, and he was decent, so he could be regarded as a talent.It's just such a talent, what will happen to the students taught?Lu Chengqi didn't dare to guarantee it.There is a saying that strict teachers produce excellent students, but if it is too strict, the personality of the students will be obliterated.Like Hu Yuan, there are still too few teachers who combine learning and play.

It was precisely out of such considerations that Lu Chengqi asked why Kong Lin didn't go to the Imperial College and Taixue. These two places are the highest universities in Dashun, which are equivalent to Tsinghua University and Peking University in later generations. Will be phased.Leaving the good seedlings alone and refusing to teach them, but insisting on teaching some children, is it possible that Kong Lin is out of his mind?

Unexpectedly, Kong Lin replied solemnly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is only a minister who can't do it, and I really don't want to."

Lu Chengqi smiled wryly. This individual answer proved that Kong Lin was a man with ideals.It is estimated that the person he admires the most is Confucius. Otherwise, how could he follow the example of Confucius and "teach without discrimination"?
"Forget it, since Kong Qing has such an ambitious wish, I'm happy to make it come true. In this way, how about Chen Xiang as the main teacher, and you and Sun Jue as the assistants?" Lu Chengqi compromised, and Kong Lin's heart couldn't be tied anyway. Instead of letting him criticize the New Deal in the court, it is better to let him go to teach out of sight and out of mind.

"I obey the decree!" Kong Lin got his wish and knelt down to Lu Chengqi.

Lu Chengqi was taken aback, and quickly said: "Kong Qing, what's the reason?" In Dashun, except for the heaven, earth, king, relatives and teachers, no one bowed down to worship.Even if it is the king, he only worships when he pleads guilty.Since the introduction of the "hu bed" in the previous dynasty, the ceremony of kneeling and sitting has gradually been abolished, and kneeling and sitting have been officially separated.It's just that Kong Lin's official position has been demoted by two levels, and he is still elated. Isn't this a kind of favor?Lu Chengqi was very puzzled. Could it be that promotion is bad, and you have to be demoted to be happy?
After Kong Lin got his wish, he got up happily, discussed the imperial edict with Lu Chengqi, and went to report to the Ministry of Officials.Fortunately, the Mentorship School in Chang'an City has been established and enrollment has begun.It was time for Kong Lin to come to ask for an official.No, Huangzhuang is "spending huge sums of money" to introduce teachers from rural private schools, and Kong Lin "volunteered" to teach, wouldn't it be in Lu Chengqi's arms?

You should know that the government schools in various states have a limit on the number of students. There are 50 students in large counties, 40 students in middle counties, and 30 students in small counties.The selection of professors was initially selected by the envoys of the road to send subordinates or hire local academics and famous Confucians to act.Later, the official school developed too fast, there were not many famous teachers, and some fake ones entered, and the official school began to be mixed.Not to mention private schools, those teachers don't know if they can be a teacher, so they dare to open private schools.Except for the well-known academies, some academies are funded by merchants to make money.After Lu Chengqi came to power, the imperial court had the power to select officials under the Zhongshumen of the Zhulu School Official Committee. Due to the strict selection, there were only 53 school officials in the prefecture.Not long ago, Lu Chengqi issued another edict, ordering Qi, Lu, Su, Chang and other prefectures to add a professor, and from then on, each county should have an instructor.The teaching content of local schools in prefectures and counties is "training students with classics and doing righteousness, taking care of their class examinations, and correcting those who are not as good as the rules."After the official school was rectified, it was obviously much better than before.So Lu Chengqi asked, why didn't Kong Lin go to the government school.

Seeing Kong Lin leaving overjoyed, Lu Chengqi sighed: "Everyone has his own ambition..."

Not long after Kong Lin left, Gao Hao hurried in: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the chief minister of the cabinet, Xu Chongguang, is asking to see you."

Lu Chengqi was talking about it, he hadn't seen Xu Chongguang for more than a month, and he didn't know what he was up to.Logically speaking, it is not difficult to develop Jiangnan.After formulating preferential policies and selecting officials, you can take office immediately.Besides, Dashun's system is already very perfect, even if there are loopholes, they should be plugged.

Hearing Gao Gao's words, Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Xuan!"

After Gao Gao bowed and retreated, Xu Chongguang stepped into the Chuigong Hall.Lu Chengqi saw that Xu Chongguang's originally thin body had become even thinner now. He frowned and said, "Xu Qing, you have lost a lot of weight! But Xu Qing is under a lot of pressure due to the many political affairs? Let's do it, you After resting for a few days, I ordered the imperial doctor to go to the mansion and prescribe a prescription for your pulse, and take care of yourself..."

Although Xu Chongguang was thinner, he was full of energy and said: "Your Majesty, I am fine. I have fully grasped the Jiangnan matter!"

Lu Chengqi was taken aback for a moment, and laughed out loud: "Xu Qing tormented herself because of the Jiangnan matter?"

Xu Chongguang sternly said: "Your Majesty entrusted me, how dare I be negligent? Furthermore, the success of Jiangnan is related to the continuous development of Dashun. Although I am not talented, I am willing to devote my whole life to the continuous development of Dashun!"

"Speaking is better than singing..." Lu Chengqi sneered in his heart, "Isn't it because of his own reputation that can be passed down through the ages? But it is also true. People in history are like crucian carp crossing the river. How many people can leave their names in history? , most of them turned into a cup of loess, unknown and unknown..."

After feeling a lot of emotion, Lu Chengqi said: "Xu Qing shared my worries for me and the country, and I am very relieved."

Xu Chongguang didn't say much, just threw a memorial and said, "Please read it, Your Majesty!"

Jiangnan is Lu Chengqi's forbidden area, and no one can easily touch it.The reason why the authorization was given to Xu Chongguang was just to silence the mouths of many courtiers. The real leader was himself.Spreading out the memorial, Lu Chengqi read it carefully, and even picked up a vermilion brush to write and draw on it.Seeing Xu Chongguang, he felt an indescribable feeling.

Xu Chongguang was very pleased with the little emperor's earnestness; but after all, this was his painstaking effort in the past month, and he would feel a little uncomfortable if he was rejected even a little bit.Fortunately, Lu Chengqi only wrote and drew, and didn't say anything.

After about two quarters of an hour, Lu Chengqi finally finished reading the memorial, and then said happily: "Xu Qing has everything in detail, and everything I think about is beyond my imagination. It's very good! Just like this water conservancy, There are many water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, so the proposal to use the water wheel is very good. I also think that rice must be cultivated and harvested twice a year, so as to stabilize the status of the granary in the south of the Yangtze River. As for silkworms and silk embroidery in the south of the Yangtze River, they can make a big fuss I have said that without agriculture, there is no stability, and without business, there is no life. Xu Qing's memorial, taking care of merchants, I am very relieved!"

Xu Chongguang thought: "It's not because you value merchants, otherwise how could I write this?"

It turned out that Xu Chongguang was afraid that Lu Chengqi would not accept it, so he tried his best to please Lu Chengqi, so as not to waste all his efforts.In fact, Lu Chengqi is a person who accepts advice with an open mind, but after more than a hundred years in Dashun, he is no longer frugal when he founded the country.After the common people think about it, the wealth of the society increases day by day, and many bad habits come out.What is the use of reform if it is not drastic?This is a matter of principle, even if Lu Chengqi wants to accept advice, he can't accept it!However, as the New Deal gradually stabilized, the treasury increased, and the Forbidden Army became stronger, Lu Chengqi was in the mood to accept advice.

After the two monarchs and ministers discussed it again, Lu Chengqi said: "Tomorrow, Xu Qing will play in public, and the ministers have no objections after the court discussion, so I will order the world to let the people who have no land and no land go to the south of the Yangtze River! "

Xu Chongguang immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
