Chapter 336 Scholarship System
Basing your own prosperity on a hundred schools of thought?
Is the idea novel?
No.
This idea can be summed up in one word, suicide.
At the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worked hard and only respected Confucianism. In a positive sense, it consolidated Qin's great unification strategy, which was also paid for by the blood of countless people.
In the Song Dynasty, Confucianism was even more deeply rooted. It is no exaggeration to say that the blood of Confucianism has flowed through every baby since it was born.
As long as the emperor's head is not broken, he will not do this.
This bold idea made Zhao Xu not sure whether Zhang Fei meant it. He asked, "Gathering the best of a hundred schools of thought? You mean, let me depose Confucianism and welcome back a hundred schools of thought."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I definitely don't mean this, and I can't do this. Confucianism's benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and filial piety are reasonable and concise. Why change it?"
Zhao Xu asked curiously, "Then what do you mean?"
Zhang Fei said: "Back then when a hundred schools of thought contended, in my opinion, the way to win was the right way. At a small scale, it was the way of governing, but at a larger scale, it was the way to rule the world. If we welcome back the hundreds of schools of thought, the land of the Central Plains will inevitably It will become torn apart again, no matter whether it succeeds in the end or not, the price will be unimaginable, Your Majesty must not be tempted to do so."
Zhao Xu nodded slightly, and his expression eased a lot.
As Zhang Fei himself said, the price of deposing Confucianism may be the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, or the fragmentation of the world. You must know that the Song Dynasty was built in a fragmented world. It was a very cruel era, not to mention the people, even Lao Zhao The family also cherishes this hard-won peace very much.
"Then what do you mean by the head of a hundred families?" Zhao Xu asked again.
"Surgery."
Zhang Fei said: "To put it more bluntly, it is the means to solve the problem. For example, Wang Dashi did not follow Confucianism, but used magic. If there is financial difficulty, benevolence and justice cannot solve it, so he can only use financial management. s method.
The occurrence of murder for money and corruption, which cannot be solved by benevolence and justice, therefore requires law.
When people are sick, benevolence and righteousness cannot solve it, and they can only rely on medicine.
We are surrounded by powerful enemies in the Song Dynasty, and we lack horses, and benevolence and righteousness cannot solve the problem. Therefore, we need to develop weapons to fight against the enemy's cavalry.
Although none of these things can be solved by benevolence and righteousness, none of this will happen without benevolence and righteousness.
When financial difficulties arise, they go directly to rob the people.When a person is sick, he dies when he dies, so what does it matter to me.With powerful enemies around, let them rape and plunder the people on the border, as long as they don't hit Bianjing.
To put it simply, there is specialization in this technique. There is nothing wrong with benevolence and righteousness, but the mistake lies in the indiscrimination of Taoism. Treating benevolence and righteousness as a panacea can cure all diseases. "
Zhao Xu nodded frequently, and said: "Your idea coincides with that of Wang Xueshi!"
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.
He does not deny that Wang Anshi does have ideas beyond this era in many aspects.
Zhao Xu smiled again and said, "But you are better at words than Xueshi Wang!"
Obviously, what Zhang Fei said was to impress Zhao Xu even more, and to strengthen Zhao Xu's idea of education reform.
Combining art and Tao, and at the same time, developing art to build a powerful empire, this is indeed a road that emperors have never walked before.
And Zhang Fei clearly gave Zhao Xu a macro strategic adjustment.
This strategy is obviously a higher level than Wang Anshi's reform.
Zhao Xu added, "And you know how to use spells better than Xueshi Wang."
Just now Zhang Fei had informed Zhao Xu of his plan. If Wang Anshi was to promote education reform, he would definitely come directly. In this case, the resistance caused is conceivable.
However, Zhang Fei borrowed charity funds to infiltrate, and also got both sides, including Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, which would not cause too much resistance. This is also a technique!
Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed by the praise, and said with a modest smile: "Your Majesty has praised me. In fact, it would have been difficult for me to do anything without the presence of Senior Scholar Wang to shield me from the wind and rain."
What shelter from the wind and rain is clearly to attract firepower for you in front.
If it weren't for Wang Anshi, it is estimated that Zhang Fei would have been crushed by them long ago.
Thinking of all this, Zhao Xu felt somewhat unbearable.
This is a bit dishonest.
But as an emperor, of course the imperial power must come first.
Hiding Zhang Fei's hand, not only can he support Wang Anshi without any worries, but at the same time, he can use the dispute between the two factions to achieve his goals relatively easily.
After talking with Zhao Xu, Zhang Fei was stopped by Ma Tianhao on his way home again.
At this time, Zhang Fei was more like the strategists of Su Qin and Zhang Yi during the Warring States Period.
I am alone, and I have to lobby many parties to achieve my goal.
Zhang Fei clearly told Ma Tianhao that he had already taken care of everything, and Xiangguo Temple had no worries.
Ma Tianhao breathed a sigh of relief, and you can do whatever you want for the rest.
The same is true.
After talking with Zhang Fei, Sima Guang immediately informed everyone of Zhang Fei's thoughts.
"You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others!"
Zhao Yan stroked his beard and said: "Although Zhang San just wants to donate to litigation studies, once this precedent is set, will someone use money to manipulate education without authorization in the future, and there will be endless troubles."
Wen Yanbo and Lu Gong also nodded their heads.
This education is sacred.
How can it be linked to money.
This is unsettling!
Wang Anshi suddenly said: "I agree with what Mr. Zhao said."
Zhao Yan looked at Wang Anshi in surprise. If you agree with me, the sun must have come out from the west.
I also heard Wang Anshi say: "Any knowledge related to governing the country should not accept donations privately, so as to avoid the situation that Mr. Zhao is worried about. But other knowledge is still possible, such as medicine, donating to medicine, there is no such worry. The imperial court can stipulate that certain studies can accept donations from others."
"medicine?"
Zhao Bian was surprised and said, "The Imperial College doesn't have medicine."
Wang Anshi said: "However, the establishment of a medical center and the prosperity of medicine are good for all people in the world. Anyway, there are people donating, and the imperial court doesn't need to spend any money. Wouldn't it be great?"
Although he has the idea of education reform, it has to be done step by step. Therefore, he does not want to reveal his intentions first, so he uses medicine as an argument and advocates medicine. No one else has any reason to object. Will the museum and martial arts museum be far behind?
Moreover, seeing that everyone didn't want the money, he wanted to get all the donations from the charity fund.
Don't want money, that's a fool.
Wang Anshi himself is such a person, but he spared no effort to seek benefits for the country.
Sima Guang knew Wang Anshi too well, so he could see what this guy was up to at a glance, so he said, "Everyone, don't forget that the Guozijian often rents out houses and sells grain in exchange for teaching funds, and has interests with many businessmen. Now they take the initiative Donate, but we reject it, isn’t it just deceiving ourselves.”
Wen Yanbo glanced at Sima Guang, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Junshi, how does Zhang San plan to donate to the Imperial College?"
Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, "I didn't ask in detail, it should be a donation."
Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and said, "I thought I had to ask carefully before I could truly understand his intentions."
Sima Guang nodded and said, "What Duke Wen said is true, but I was negligent."
Wang Anshi muttered to himself: "I never imagined that even doing charity in Song Dynasty would be so troublesome."
This expert's complaints are the deadliest!
Indeed, in the Song Dynasty, it was normal for people to be superfluous. Coupled with the ancestral law, everything had to be considered carefully, which made it difficult to do anything.
Of course, Wang Anshi's complaints did not affect Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang.
On the second day, Sima Guang called Zhang Fei to the Political Affairs Hall again.
When Zhang Fei came to the Zhengshitang, he found that the lineup on the opposite side was comparable to that of the three divisions. The prime ministers included Wen Yanbo, Zhao Bian, Sima Guang, and Wang Anshi. At the same time, there were Yu Shi Hu Zongyu, Qi Hui, the detailed judge, and Liu Shu, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice.
Zhang Fei really didn't know whether they valued education very much, or they were guarding against themselves.
Wen Yanbo asked, "Zhang San, I heard that your Dasong Charity Foundation plans to donate to Guozijian?"
Zhang Fei said embarrassingly: "I originally had this idea, but it seems that this idea is... wrong."
Wen Yanbo snorted, "How do you say that?"
Zhang Fei glanced away, smiled and said nothing.
Donate some money and donate yourself to the Zhengshitang, can this be a good thing?
Wen Yanbo immediately reacted, and said with a smile: "It's your own fault too. Charity is a good thing, but you have to participate in the compilation of teaching materials, which makes people suspicious."
"Mr. Wen, it's just a misunderstanding."
After speaking, Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang again.
Wen Yanbo said: "Scholar Sima has informed me of your thoughts, but what I want to know is, how does your Dasong Charity Foundation plan to donate to the Imperial College?"
Zhang Fei said: "We plan to set up a scholarship system for the Imperial College."
"Scholarship system?" Wen Yanbo asked doubtfully.
Zhang Fei nodded and explained: "Our Dasong Charity Foundation has always followed a principle, which is to use every penny for charity as much as possible to help those who really need help.
We will not directly donate money to the Imperial College, but set up a bonus to reward those students who are both excellent in character and academics and from poor families. Of course, this is not at the discretion of the Imperial College, and we will do some research ourselves. "
Everyone looked at each other.
This is much more complicated than they imagined!
Liu Shu was extremely surprised and said: "A group of you businessmen are going to inspect the students of the Imperial College."
As he spoke, he smiled contemptuously, "Do you have the ability?"
I show you an article, but you don’t quite understand it!
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "We have our own way."
Liu Shu broke the casserole and asked the end, "I would like to hear the details."
Zhang Fei said: "My current idea is to ask the subjects about some interpersonal relationships and behaviors in daily life."
Liu Shu asked, "What about learning? Don't you investigate?"
Zhang Fei replied: "About Confucianism, I think interpersonal relationships and behaviors in life can be better reflected than articles and poems. Many people write very well, but in terms of morality, they are very unbearable. Dare to ask Liu Langzhong Do you think these people are good at learning, or are they not good at learning?"
Liu Shu kept silent.
Isn’t what Confucianism teaches is the principle of being a human being? No one can do it well.
Zhang Fei continued: "Currently we are planning to donate to litigation studies. We still have the ability to evaluate knowledge in this area."
This statement is full of confidence, and no one doubts it. As far as litigation is concerned, Zhang Fei has already proved it with strength.
Dissatisfied?
a fight?
Zhao Yan asked: "Why do you make donations so complicated?"
Zhang Fei said: "Because we are afraid of corruption, we will send people to supervise whether it is donations to the theater or the police station. You can send people to investigate this point. Regarding education, we will also maintain this principle."
".!"
This counterattack made all the officials present very embarrassed.
Dare to love, you are still guarding against us!
This..
Zhao Yan asked again: "That is to say, it is up to you to decide who to award the scholarship to."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "We have fully considered the opinions of all parties, but the decision is in our hands."
Zhao Bian said: "You are doing kindness to the students. The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. When they become officials in the court in the future, they will definitely repay your charity foundation. This may also be a kind of bribe. What do you think? ?”
As expected of Zhao Xianggong, he really has a vicious vision.Zhang Fei pretended to be surprised, and after a while, he said: "Really? Mr. Zhao Mingjian, we just had this idea and didn't think too much about it. We don't have to donate. If the court thinks it's inappropriate, we don't have to donate."
Zhao Yan said bluntly: "I don't support this scholarship system."
Sima Guang glanced at Zhao Yan, and then said to Zhang Fei: "You go out first."
"Yes, Xiaomin resigns."
After Zhang Fei went out, Sima Guang said to Zhao Bian: "Mr. Zhao, in life, you will inevitably encounter difficulties, and you will always receive favors from others. It is only natural to repay favors, but people with good conduct will know how to repay them. So I said The students of the Imperial College, they also often pay homage to the court officials, but this is not necessarily a kind of bribery."
Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Of course I know that."
Sima Guang said in astonishment: "Then why Mr. Zhao..."
Zhao Bian said: "I'm just scaring that kid, they will investigate, and we will supervise him."
He very much agrees with the inspection system of the scholarship, because he was born in a poor family. His parents passed away when he was young, and he was raised by his elder brother. He knows how difficult it is for a poor student. The system can also supervise the Guozijian.
The tricks in the Guozijian are not small!
Sima Guang laughed and said, "I see."
This is the ancestral law of the Song Dynasty at work. For any new system, everyone will consider its disadvantages and then supervise it.
It can be seen that they are not targeting Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang's reform will also be supervised.
It's just that Sima Guang himself is such a person, so it's not obvious.
Public security, procuratorate and law also supervise each other.
This has advantages, but also disadvantages.
A lot of good suggestions, tossed around, all ended in nothing.
But no matter what, in the end, the scholarship system was approved by the Political Affairs Hall.
"Junshi, do you care about the money?"
After everyone left, Wang Anshi suddenly said to Sima Guang.
Sima Guang glanced at him and said, "What do you want to say?"
Wang Anshi snorted, "Don't take it for granted that I don't know what you're planning. You hope to use the charitable foundation to donate to litigation to draw Zhang San into your judicial reform."
Sima Guang asked, "So what?"
Wang Anshi said with a smile: "Don't get complacent too early, I believe Zhang San will have a bowl of water."
Sima Guang asked again: "What do you want to do?"
Wang Anshi said: "Currently there is a Department of Regulations in the Second Government, and there is a shortage of mathematics talents. I plan to suggest that the officials open a mathematics school in the Imperial College."
Sima Guang gave him a contemptuous look, "Wang Jiefu, don't pretend I don't know what you're thinking, you're just making use of it."
As soon as he heard the arithmetic, he knew exactly what Wang Anshi was planning.
Wang Anshi chuckled twice: "Each, each other."
The two of them really knew the bottom line, and they even calculated exactly what would happen if the other party took power.
