back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 685
When Dashun was founded, the ability to fight against the Khitan cavalry with infantry largely relied on the Jiugong Bagua Formation.This can be said to be the crystallization of the wisdom of the Han people. Even if those nomads want to learn, they can't learn it, because they can't give up the advantage of cavalry and learn infantry from the Han people.

The Han people were forced to do nothing. If they had good horses and horses, why bother to beat around the bush and use formations and lives to fill the enemy's group charge?With the cast iron technology of the Han people, it is not a problem at all to get a heavy cavalry.Everyone knows the power of heavy cavalry, the perfect combination of mobility and defense.The light cavalry had nothing to do but retreat while fighting.Because they are not Han people, the Han people also know how to invent hook and sickle guns, and specialize in horseshoes.

The advantage of nomads lies in horses, while the advantage of Han people lies in their large number of people.Infantry is a helpless choice, but with firearms, this helplessness becomes an advantage.Fatty Lu's desire to make contributions is also due to the sharpness of firearms.If it was the former imperial army, he would not have dared to take the initiative to ask for a job when the mud could not support the wall.Even if he came to suppress the bandits, he would have to worry about it.Not to mention fighting with the Khitans, I guess they can only defend against the city, not daring to engage in field battles with them.

"Firearms are good..."

Fatty Lu sighed leisurely, got into his bed, and fell asleep soundly.

The moonlight is like water, and it is another night.

The next day, a refreshed Lu Chengqi woke up early, after all he promised Zhou Zhiruo that he would get things done.As a man, the promise he made must be fulfilled, so Lu Chengqi summoned... um, no, he wanted to summon a person, Wen Yanbo, who is an adviser to political affairs.

What did you call Wen Yanbo for?First, he is a political adviser and knows everything.Second, he is the chief examiner of Enke this time, so you really have to ask his opinion.What's the matter?Naturally, it is Lu Chengqi's most important educational cause. It takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people.In order to carry out the New Deal, in addition to training successors, we must also train qualified officials.In the past, Dashun was a free-range system, and those who could afford books figured out their own way, went to Bailudong, Yuelu, Suiyang (Yingtianfu), Songyang, Shigu, Maoshan, Xiangshan and other academies to study, and paid for Shuxiu themselves.Now that Huangzhuang has money, this free-range system is useless. Instead, all the people are required to participate in the education. For those who are qualified, Lu Chengqi still thinks that Huangzhuang will pay for them and send them to the Royal University.After all, it doesn't mean that you can't take the imperial examination when you come to the Royal University. This is complementary.

But if you want to run Mengxue well, it will not work if there is no one who understands education.Now the chief assistant of the cabinet, Xu Chongguang, is obsessed with the cause of Jiangnan, and he simply "can't get away".As for Feng Chengping, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, although he is talented and learned, his conduct is not very correct. He is in his 50s, and he is greedy for money and marrying concubines. How can he be respected by students as a teacher?After thinking about it, Wen Yanbo is the right one. First, he is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he has made some contributions and hard work; second, he has a good character and no scandals;The key is the third point, Lu Chengqi will not give him a good job if he is not pleasing to the eye and not easy to use.Even if he refused to do it, Lu Chengqi thought about asking him to recommend someone.

While thinking about it, Gao Hao came into the hall to report that Wen Yanbo had arrived.

"Announce him for an audience."

Lu Chengqi said slowly, Gao Hao didn't dare to neglect, and not long after he bowed and left, a handsome old man entered the hall.It stands to reason that Wen Yanbo is also in his 50s at the moment, and the term Fengshen Junlang should not have anything to do with him.But anyone who has been in contact with him knows that although Wen Yanbo holds a high official position and is also very wealthy, he usually treats others with humility, corporal respect, virtue and kindness, giving people the impression that he is a gentle and modest gentleman. It's not an exaggeration to describe him.

"Chen Wenyanbo, see Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi stood up with a smile, and said: "Wenqing please get up quickly, come on, give Wenqing a seat!"

After Wen Yanbo sat down and took a sip of tea, he asked cautiously: "I wonder if Your Majesty summoned the ministers, what is the matter?" After working with the little emperor for a long time, not only Wen Yanbo, but also other courtiers knew that the little emperor It is the master who does not see the rabbit and does not cast the eagle. He has nothing to tell you to do, and he will never take the initiative to summon you.The little emperor left simple political affairs to the cabinet, and he was happy to have nothing to do, so why would he deliberately find things to do for himself?Wen Yanbo was summoned today, so naturally he felt uneasy, so he had to ask.

Lu Chengqi jokingly said: "Why, can't I summon Wen Qing to Lala's housework?"

Wen Yanbo was so frightened that he quickly stood up and bowed his head, "I'm terrified..."

"Haha, I'm just joking, Wen Qing, take it easy. I summoned Wen Qing to discuss something important."

Wen Yanbo calmed down, and then asked: "I don't know what your Majesty wants to discuss with the minister?" He couldn't help but think in his heart: "Could it be that your Majesty is looking for a girl? Yes, it's the first time a young man knows what it's like. It's just that my granddaughter is married, right?"

Just as he was thinking wildly, Lu Chengqi said, "I'll ask Wen Qing, how is my private school in Dashun?"

Wen Yanbo never expected that the little emperor would ask this question, so he thought for a while before saying: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think there are many private schools, good and bad..."

Lu Chengqi said seriously: "I would like to hear the details!"

Wen Yanbo said: "Since Renzong, since then, Taixue has been established in Xingdu, and tributes have been raised in various counties. However, the wind of competition prevails, but the custom of loyalty and trustworthiness is weak. It is also the honor and disgrace that cannot be determined by the school. , The prose of carving seals and seals, without the ambition of further study, regards the preface as a pass on the house, the teacher and the Confucianism are like passers-by, and the quarterly examinations and moon scripts are all written. In recent years, the official school has stolen and blamed the state and county. Scholars travel to study, not to shop for the day and night, but to wear fake clothes to deceive popular customs. And those who are self-conscious in the countryside, pass through their gates and refuse to enter. Those who are professors think they are cold officials and do nothing. From a county In view of it, if it is not very harmful, and it is the same in the whole world, it is really related to the matter. When the court establishes an official, it wants to make it govern a post. If you think that it is too broad and not helpful for the time, you will not do it at once. In other words, learning food for officials and salaries can still be saved. If you think that turning the people into customs and cultivating talents for a long time, since the beginning of the school and the ancestors, there has been no change, but it will survive in name but die in reality. However, the scale of private schools is huge. , all other prefectures are not as good as it is. It is very famous for the unique view of Kanglu, and it is very suitable for all students to teach. At the beginning of the country, there were hundreds of thousands of apprentices. Please grant the Nine Classics to study. There are more than [-] people at present. Academies such as Bailudong, Yuelu, Suiyang, Songyang, Shigu, Maoshan, Xiangshan, etc. are famous, even more famous than government schools. The rest of the private schools are mostly private schools. If he doesn't try to solve doubts by preaching and teaching, his husband has no talent and learning, so he can only be a teacher of learning..."

Wen Yanbo spoke a lot of words eloquently, which made Lu Chengqi dizzy. After he finished speaking, Lu Chengqi revealed his plan completely, and finally asked: "Wen Qing thinks who should be in charge of this elementary school?" ?”
