Chapter 130: Story
Gao Pragmatic agrees with the construction of new schools, but it is not necessary to attract Da Mingshi people to teach, and Gao Pragmatic does not want to be impeached and accused of plotting against him.
However, how to open the school in southern Xinjiang, Gao Pragmatic doesn't plan to bother too much now, and leaves it to Liu Xin to make a plan, he plans to just approve it for the last time. Of course, Liu Xin has no experience in this kind of thing, but she is a graduate of a normal college, relatively speaking, she is always a little more professional than herself, she only needs to tell her the purpose and significance of this school, and I believe she will know what to do.
The main thing to do is to choose a name for the school.
The word "university" has a special meaning in these years, and it is not easy to take a "craftsman school" to touch porcelain, which will cause a big event.
Academies are also not very good, although most of the current private schools are called academies, but those academies are opened for the imperial examination, which is obviously different from the high pragmatism. According to his high and pragmatic status, of course, there is no problem in running an academy, but then he has to serve the imperial examination, and this is not impossible, but he still plans to wait a little longer...... It might be better to wait until you're a little older.
Or call it an academy? This doesn't seem to be a big problem, and it will not touch the porcelain "university", nor will it touch the "high" colleges of others.
So what should it be called?
Jinghua College? It doesn't seem to work, and the Ming Dynasty may be misunderstood.
Southern Xinjiang College? Well, the name seems to be a bit too big, and swaggering through the market is not my high-level pragmatic style.
Dingnan College? Hey, this looks okay, but it's better to add two more words, and it's better to call it Dingnan Institute of Technology.
"Dingnan Institute of Technology?" Liu Xin listened to Gao Shishi's words, and said with some surprise: "Don't you think this is a bit too 'modern'?" β
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "No, no, no, you think it is modern, it is because you are different from others, I will tell others that this school is called the Institute of Science and Technology, they will not understand it this way." β
Liu Xin was even more surprised: "Why is that?" Is there any other way to understand the word science and engineering? β
"Of course." Gao pragmatic smiled: "Reason, science is also." Whether it is practical or mental, in fact, according to the general category, they all belong to the department of science. Don't think that science is just a confined thought or something that we talked about in the textbooks back then, in fact, its scope is very large, and I will talk to you about this in detail when I have time later. In short, you just need to know that when I say 'science and technology' now, the word 'science' will only be considered by people to be the 'reason' of science, and will not mean anything else.
As for the work, this is simpler, Dingnan Institute of Technology itself is a branch of the Jinghua Craftsman School, and this word is a craftsman. In the future, Dingnan Institute of Technology will be built, and the Jinghua Craftsman School will also be renamed, which will be called Jinghua Institute of Technology. β
Liu Xin shrugged her shoulders: "You are better at these things, you can do it if you say it, but I want to ask where this teacher comes from?" Most of your former teachers in the craftsman school were folk craftsmen, including Mr. Binhu, who were not serious 'scholars'. But it's not easy for you to find these people, and now that you're going to open a branch school, I'm worried that there won't be enough people. β
Gao pragmatic said: "Then you must be underestimating the people, in such a big country as the Ming Dynasty, there are still many folk masters, which is not comparable to modern society, everyone is studying in school, and now many people are rich and self-taught." Then some of them are not interested in the imperial examination, or their talent is not in the article, so they go to engage in their own hobbies. β
Liu Xin said: "So this time Dingnan Institute of Technology also did the same?" β
"Mainly, it's still the same, but there's another way to do it." Gao pragmatic Dao.
"Tell me?"
"Annanzi." Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly: "I can't win over the scholars of the Ming Dynasty at will, but the scholars of Annan are different, they read the Hanshu they originally read, and although Annan is nominally subordinate, in fact, there is no Ming Dynasty official at all, let alone rule." I picked some teachers among the Annan scholars, and the Ming court probably didn't even have an interest in asking. β
"Oh, I think I have to ask." Liu Xin tilted his head: "If some scholars went to Annan from the Ming Dynasty, can these people be hired?" β
Gao pragmatically thought for a while, nodded and said, "If you have already joined Annan, you can be hired." β
Liu Xin smiled and said yes, but secretly said in her heart: You also said that Annan is not your territory, doesn't your approach mean that as long as you are a 'Annan person', no matter what nationality you are, you are your people?
"So, what about the places in southern Xinjiang other than Annan?" Of course, Liu Xin wouldn't say what she thought just now, after all, Gao Xian didn't admit it, so she diverted the topic.
"Yes, too." Gao pragmatically said: "The rest of the countries are more distant from the relationship between Annan and the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will not be interested in mesmering their affairs - you must know that the ruler of Annam originally called the emperor internally, and the Ming Dynasty actually didn't care." β
Liu Xin nodded, and stopped talking.
Gao pragmatically asked, "Is there anything inconvenient to ask?" β
"It's not that it's inconvenient to ask." Liu Xin frowned and said, "Before you can explain it, why did you suspect that I was instructed by Huang Dutong to suggest that you recruit the landed scholars." β
Gao Pragmatic frowned and said: "I explained, didn't I say it before, Zhiting regards Southern Xinjiang as my foundation, not the territory that Daming can take in the bag in the future, so she is most likely to make this suggestion, after all, no country can be without managers, and in her eyes, Daming's scholars must be the best managers." β
"Daming's scholars are the best managers? Why didn't I feel it? Liu Xin rolled her eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, if it weren't for your appearance, it seems that Daming would only have a few decades to live." Although I don't study history very well, I guess the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty should not be very good. β
Gao pragmatically smiled: "Daming has some deep-rooted problems, plus bad luck, natural disasters and man-made disasters are all crowded together and broke out." However, from an administrative point of view, the state system of the Ming Dynasty is actually not very backward, and Europe is also a chicken feather at this time, not to mention that there is not much advancedness, and the Enlightenment boss Voltaire is still 'China blowing'.
Of course, we can't compare with the bad, since I'm here, there are some reforms within my ability, what should be done or done, at least better than the original Daming. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Ming Dynasty had a lot of historical institutional baggage, the civil service system itself still had some ability to build a stable society.
There are still some outdated kingdoms in southern Xinjiang, and there are some things that we can't do completely, but most of them can still be done. Zhiting hopes to bring in some Ming scholars, not just to let them teach, but will definitely continue to find a way to let them join these puppet kingdoms and occupy important positions...... She, a woman's family, is more anxious than me many times. β
Liu Xin glanced at him: "I think your own purpose is not clear, and you are hesitant, while thinking about leaving a way back for yourself, you still want to get Daming done first." If you do this, what will the people around you do, in fact, is the lice on the monk's head - obviously. β
Gao Pragmatic frowned and said, "What do you say?" β
"Although it is said that the prime minister is a third-rank official, even if you really become the first assistant, will the status of your family members be higher than now? For them, it must be best for you to go to southern Xinjiang to establish a country on your own, because at that time they will definitely no longer be a family member, and they should be a founding hero. Pi Phi Reading.com
Founding heroes, according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, there will be a number of characters such as 'Wei Guogong', 'Dingguo Gong', 'Chengguo Gong', and 'British Gong'. Even if Grandpa Guo can't mix, at least Master Hou and Uncle will always have a chance, right? Which is not better than the housekeeper? Is it true that even the position of the head of your family is hereditary? β
Liu Xin is not an "ordinary person" in the end, because of her special status, only she will mention it directly and pragmatically. As long as other people see Gao Shi's usual style, it is almost impossible to encourage him to establish another country, let alone talk about the ambitions of the family members so bluntly.
Even if Huang Zhiting once asked something similar, it was not as direct as Liu Xin's.
Gao Pragmatic was silent, it was not that he hadn't thought about such a problem, but he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.
Why do you say serious? Although Liu Xin refused to admit it, Gao Pragmatic thought that her statement today must have been hinted at even if it was not directly instructed by Huang Zhiting.
Why did Huang Zhiting hint like this? Originally, Gao Pragmatic just thought that because she was born in Tusi and was a person who led soldiers, she would be more anxious and didn't expect anything else.
But as soon as Liu Xin said this just now, the reason is self-evident: Huang Zhiting must have felt such pressure to make such a move, or to test whether she could make such a move.
Gao Shishi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It turns out that this is how the military merit group was born......
Several garrisons in Jinghua have fought so many battles in southern Xinjiang, and almost every battle is sure to be won, and their morale has long been cultivated, and now the high-ranking people among them have also begun to consider the issue of status.
Gao Pragmatic even had some doubts for a while, if it weren't for the special system of Jinghua, and the garrison could not be maintained without the blessing of Jinghua's transportation capacity, should these guys all find themselves to persuade them?
Who knew that Liu Xin's words hadn't finished yet, she glanced at the sideburns in her ear again, and said, "In addition to those high-ranking family members, your Gao family's clansmen may not all be as dead-eyed as you." β
Gao Pragmatic was really taken aback at this time: "What? β
"Is there anything weird?" Liu Xin shrugged: "The family members want to be the grandfather of the country, so can't your clansmen have some ideals?" If you can't write two high characters with one stroke, they can't expect a prince to do it? Even if the prince can't, the prince can, right? β
"!" Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but scold, and said angrily: "Why is it so difficult for me to be knighted, they actually want to ascend to the sky in one step?" Damn, I'm a furnace of Jindan, and I'm going to eat my good chicken and dog ascend to heaven? β
"Eh, look at what you said, these are all from your Gao family......" Liu Xin said with a smile.
Gao pragmatic waved his hand: "Let them roll the calves, my goal is very ambitious now, what I plan to save is the Chinese nation, and I don't want China to be dragged into the rule of wild boar skins, become conservative and self-contained, instead of coming to be the emperor." β
"If you want to say this, I also have a very curious thing." Liu Xin said very seriously: "Why can't you consider changing the Zhu family?" Could it be that you are used to being a courtier of the Zhu family now, and you also have some orthodox thoughts? β
Gao Pragmatic didn't seem to expect her to ask such a sentence, but after thinking about it, it was normal for this kind of thought to appear in her mind, after all, she obviously didn't have any loyal thoughts.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's not that I've fallen into the vicious circle of monarchs and ministers, but it doesn't matter who is the emperor himself, as long as this system is still hereditary, there is no essential difference." The emperors of the Zhu family are good and bad, could it be that if they change their surname Gao, they will all be Mingjun? Not necessarily!
And now that Zhu Ming's rule is definitely orthodox in the eyes of others, I don't need to risk the world's condemnation, I have to be the emperor myself, do you understand? Besides, if I want to be the emperor of China, what means do you think I should use to ascend to the throne, so that I will not cause chaos in the world, with continuous military disasters and poor livelihoods? If I can't avoid this, isn't my approach contrary to my purpose? β
"Oh, that's your idea...... Liu Xin nodded: "I can understand part of what you say." But I think ...... Such a thing as usurpation doesn't necessarily have to be a war? Isn't there a history where a successful coup d'Γ©tat was used to usurp the throne? β
Gao Pragmatic looked like he had a painful face: "Why do you have to think about this?" Yes, there are examples of such success in history, but you must also know that such emperors must belong to the 'unjust kingdom', he has to guard against many people, and once the ruling power begins to decline, the stronger the power of the backlash will be. β
Liu Xin frowned: "Really?" β
"Of course." Gao pragmatic said: "I'll give you an example, Yang Jian usurped the throne and established the Sui Dynasty, he himself was obviously the Ming Dynasty, but during the period of his son Yang Guang, because of the abuse of people's power, the whole world rebelled, and the Sui Dynasty actually died second." Have you ever thought that many other dynasties also had emperors who abused the people's power, but no one was like the Sui Dynasty and the world was in chaos all of a sudden, why?
It's not because the Sui Dynasty was already unorthodox and the orthodox concept was not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially when Yang Guang was also alienated from the Guanlong military group, the basis of his rule, this kind of backlash was particularly powerful. β
Liu Xin was surprised: "Are you saying that Yang Guang stayed in Yangzhou and refused to return to Chang'an, that is to alienate the Guanlong Group?" Then why did he do this, really just to see Qionghua? β
"Nonsense, what Qionghua is looking at, in the final analysis, he is also suspicious of Guanlong Group...... This is the weakness of the heart of winning the country, their Yang family was not the most powerful family in the Guanlong military group, but usurped power through marriage, Yang Jian was a little better when he was there, because Yang Jian's means were powerful.
But when he arrived in Yang Guang, because of the successive failures of his military operations against Goryeo, of course, he was afraid that the Guanlong group would retaliate, so he hid in Yangzhou, his old nest. But he didn't know that the emperor himself was a symbol, and when this symbol was gone, the Guanlong military group naturally became more and more dissatisfied, and could only ponder the introduction of a new leader.
Later, as you know, this new leader is still from the Guanlong Group, which is the Longxi Li family. And the root of all this, if you want to say where it comes from, it actually comes from the Yang family's injustice, when you are strong, others don't speak, but it doesn't mean that they have no ideas, and when you are weak...... Hey.
Zhu Ming is different, drive out the Tartars, restore China, and there is nothing more than this in the world, so if you have to do it as a last resort, some ideas should be put away. β
Liu Xin thought for a moment and asked, "Can I paraphrase this story?" β

Gao Pragmatic was not the slightest surprised by this sentence, and waved his hand: "Although it is paraphrased." β
He also knew to whom the "story" would be relayed.
