Wu Ren was very busy: I said "good", but I just felt that the "teacher" of the "Normal Hall" was apt and elegant, uh, I just felt that this name was good, how did it become a matter of praise -- restore the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties, open a department to take scholars, add "current affairs", add "paste scriptures, Moyi" -- this ...... The whole thing?

Wu Ren shook his hands wildly: "Ah, no, no......"

Guan Zhuofan's face was full of surprise: "What, it's not good?" ”

Only then did he realize that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly put down his hand: "No, no, uh, okay, okay!" ”

"Gen Weng," Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly, "You confused me, is it good or bad?" ”

The old face of Wu Ren turned red again: This is blocked - what do you want me to say!

"Uh, I mean...... Uh, the prince is in front, how can I trespass? This excerpt is naturally led by the prince, and I attach ......"

Before the word "discussion" was spoken, I knew that it was inappropriate, but it was too late to change my words.

Hey, that's not what I meant! What's going on today? The mouth does not listen to the brain!

Guan Zhuofan nodded and sighed: "Gen Weng, with your praise, I have confidence in this matter!" As for who will lead the performance-Gen Weng, if it is something else, it doesn't hurt if I take the lead, but this time, it's a matter of opening up the department! Gen Weng Shilin Zongjing, Confucian leader, if you don't lead, who leads? Although my title is higher than yours, but I am a scholar in front of Gen Weng, I am really a descendant boy, this way, if your name is behind me, transgression. But that's me! The corporal of the world. Why are you looking at me? ”

Good. Now, I don't know how to shirk if I want to shirk.

He smuttered twice, but didn't say anything.

"Do you think that if you hand it over, someone will ...... to you? What's the saying? Ahem, how could it be? Do you think—"

After a pause, Guan Zhuofan continued: "Add or not add 'current affairs', Han Zhan Kedao's position. They are all to be sat by those who are born as jinshi; With the addition of 'current affairs', in addition to these noble seats, many practical seats, people from Jinshi background, can also sit! So, isn't there more and better way out for readers? Is there anyone in the world who does not want more and better ways out of their future? ”

"Well, what the prince said...... Very much. ”

"Add 'sticking scriptures, ink meaning'. The principle is the same. At present, the opening of science and technology is like 'thousands of troops and horses walking on a single-plank bridge'. With the addition of 'sticking scriptures and Moyi', it is 'thousands of troops and horses walking on the double wooden bridge'! This bridge is twice as wide, is it possible that there are people in the world who are not willing to walk on their own roads and cross bridges? ”

"Thousands of troops and horses walk on a single-plank bridge"? This statement is quite new.

"What did the prince say...... Extremely, yes. ”

Well, "very" becomes "extremely".

"Even if someone is really confused and comes home, it doesn't matter if they are good or bad, and their brains can't turn around, so what?"

Guan Zhuofan smiled: "Gen Weng, Lin Wenzhonggong's "Go to Shu Dengchengkou to Occupy the Family", two of which I particularly appreciate: 'If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of misfortune and fortune?' 'Life and death, blessing and misfortune, especially a little fame, what is it? ”

There was a slight "buzz" in Wu Ren's mind, and he immediately saw sweat on his forehead, he stood up, bowed down and said, "The prince taught me a lesson!" Shame on you! Lin Wenzhong's sage model should have been copied for my generation! I, alas, was thinking too much! This, really...... Shame, shame! ”

Guan Zhuofan also stood up, let go of his hand, and said, "Don't dare, Gen Weng, please take a seat!" ”

The two sat down again.

"Gen Weng," Guan Zhuofan said in a very sincere tone, "I won't tell you anything, when I reformed the Eight Banners, I embraced the purpose of 'breaking my bones', how about I take a look now?" The sky hasn't fallen! Not only that, but there are more and more people who say good things! There are more and more people who are willing to 'go out of the flag'! Why? The facts are in front of you: the 'flag' is harder than the 'flag', but the life is much better! ”

After a pause, he continued: "Among them, those sent to the northeast, the imperial court 'assisted in the livelihood', gave seeds, agricultural tools, and livestock, hey, the household that opened up the most wasteland has opened hundreds of acres!" At the time of 'Zaiqi', this family was really underclothed and hungry, and now what? Not only is the family fed and clothed, but also hired long-term and short-term workers, and they are serious landlords! ”

"Gen Weng, as long as the path is right, let's go! walked up, and the people behind saw that this road really worked, so they naturally followed. When the time comes, give a thumbs up, don't say too much flattery! ”

The words "not too much" sound strange, but Wu Ren can't discern it carefully, and he can't help but be "convinced" in reason, affection, and situation: "Yes, Wu Ren obeys the king's orders!" ”

Okay, you're finally in my hub.

Guan Zhuofan's "restoration of the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties" does contain more profound intentions that cannot be made clear to him, let alone made public.

It is indeed not a "restoration", but a "change", and it is a reborn "change", and the "restoration" of the god horse is just a pretense.

"Current affairs" does not have any specific definition, it is a big basket, no matter what it is, as long as there is a need, you can put it in.

What does Guan Zhuofan want to put in the big basket of "current affairs"?

In addition to current politics and geography, nature is modern scientific and technological knowledge and modern civilization concepts.

These things will be inculcated after the scholars are "Jinshi born" -- just like the "Tongwen Pavilion" run by King Gong, it is already too late. Everyone is already a "protégé of the Son of Heaven", and you still treat him as a "child" who doesn't know anything, not to mention the difference between the old and the new, the distinction between Huayi and other conceptual issues, even self-esteem, and I can't accept it.

Guan Zhuofan wanted to instill these things in them from the stage of "childhood", or even earlier, from the time when the "scholars" did not have any name and a copper plate was not worth it. At that time, it was "a blank sheet of paper that is good for drawing". Also, and more importantly, these things are all "required questions", and they are the only way for "readers" to get ahead.

In this way, it will not take too long, in just 10 or 8 years, to bring about fundamental changes in the ideological concepts and knowledge structure of a generation.

The best thing is that this extremely important "change" really does not touch the cheese of the "reader": I still use you - you who have "learned something else". Starting to learn from the "childhood", or even earlier, the pain of overturning and starting over is greatly reduced.

Is it that no cheese is moving?

No, what should be moved, what must be moved, or what must be moved, this is the "Shiwen" -- Baguwen.

People's time and energy are limited, and if we continue to allow useless "current affairs" to be in charge, and the road of useful "current affairs" will not be smooth, and Guan Zhuofan must remove the "current text" as a roadblock.

Guan Zhuofan's trick is to use "pasting scriptures and ink meanings" to fight "Shiwen". "Sticking scriptures and ink meanings" only need to be memorized by rote, and the difficulty of the Chinese style is far inferior to that of "Shiwen", so the time and energy spent by readers on it is greatly reduced compared with "Shiwen", and the extra time and energy will naturally be put on "current affairs".

If you choose one of the two options, "Sticking to the Scriptures, Moyi" and "Shiwen", any "Chinese style" can be regarded as the "Chinese style" of the scriptures, and there is probably no fool in the world, and it will be difficult to abandon the easy, then the "Shiwen" - Baguwen will soon decline until no one cares about it completely.

When the time comes, it will be natural for "Shiwen" to withdraw from the imperial examination.

"Sticking to the scriptures and Moyi" is also based on Zhu Xi's commentary, which is no different from "Shiwen", on the surface, the "general direction" has not changed at all, so no one can blame Guan Zhuofan's "restoration".

In today's words, it is just to "reduce the burden" on the candidates.

All these changes have been implemented in the name of "giving readers better and more outlets", and if some people really want to speak out against it, I am afraid they don't know how to say it.

It is certainly Guan Zhuofan's desire to reform the imperial examination system and make it as useful as possible for me, but he also has a more ambitious goal: to restore the "current affairs policy" and send "current affairs guidance" to the "people-friendly construction and governance", so as to create a modern school throughout China.
