Chapter 347: Worrying about the country and the people

The dishes in Su Ren's house are good in terms of style and taste, and Liu Che was just about to try them, but unexpectedly, Wen Dang and Dong Zhongshu suddenly appeared, disrupting everything. Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he hurriedly took a few bites of food and ate it, and then got up: "Everyone, get up!" I heard that Su Ren's name, I came here to talk to him, I didn't expect to make such a big noise, I can't even eat a meal, Dong Xijiu and Dr. Wen are the candidates for Taixue appointed by me, and they are also old ministers, so I am here to listen, what are your opinions on Taixue? ”

"The old minister must do his best to build a good Taixue!"

Liu Che nodded and glanced at Su Ren: "Wei Qihou can say, Su Ren is ready to donate his family wealth to build Taixue for me, I don't know how much I can take?" ”

Su Ren hurriedly said: "Then it depends on how big Your Majesty is going to get!" ”

"Hahaha...... no matter how much Su Aiqing takes, she is happy, and no one has ever paid for me, all of them have reached out to ask for money!"

Seeing that Han Yan's face was not good, Su Ren said, "Your Majesty is rich all over the world, what will you put in your eyes with this money?" ”

Liu Che shook his head: "You are a businessman, you should know that it is not easy to make money, spending money is like flowing water, my Han Dynasty has accumulated some money and grain through the two emperors of Wenjing, but these can't be used indiscriminately, there are Hulu in the north, and there are Nanban in the south, and this money should be used where necessary!" ”

Su Ren nodded again and again: "Actually, if you build Taixue's money, Your Majesty doesn't have to pay it at all, and it doesn't know if you have a surplus!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Che suddenly became interested, and pulled Su Ren to sit down: "Although I am in Chang'an, I also heard that you are doing a good job in Shu County, and Zhu Wen Taishou has managed the remote border counties very well, as long as I don't let me spend money, everything will be easy!" Borrow your wine from your house today, and if you say it well, I will drink three cups in a row. ”

Su Ren hurriedly found three cups and put them in front of Liu Che, personally poured the wine full, and then said: "Taixue is the highest institution of learning for scholars in the world, and scholars abound for the establishment of Taixue. ”

"Oh? What does this say? ”

"Now I am peaceful in the Han world, there are more and more people who want to study or are willing to read, this is a good thing, the people are wise and the world is prosperous, although His Majesty's proposal to establish Taixue is good, Weichen seems to be a little lacking, only in Chang'an to set up Taixue to recruit the number of people is still too small, in the opinion of Weichen, to build a few more, not only to have Taixue, but also to have Mengxue, middle school, university."

"Mongolian scholars provide young children with enlightenment and literacy; The middle school scholar confessed that the children who knew the words understood the meaning and the truth; University scholars are for people of insight who have graduated from secondary school to continue their studies, read through the world's collections, and reserve talents; As for Taixue, it only recruits the best in the university, gathers talents for His Majesty, and cultivates officials for the country. ”

"Of course, if you want to cross these stages, you also need to be selected layer by layer, and the students who are admitted to Mengxue must have a clean family background, and only by passing the Mengxue exam can they enter the middle school, and so on, the best will enter Taixue for further study, waiting for the election of officials! Therefore, Mengxue should set up all counties in the world, and even villages are encouraged to open them, middle schools are only in the county, universities are owned by the county, and Taixue is in Chang'an. ”

Han Yan couldn't wait: "How much does it cost to build so many Mongolian schools, middle schools, and universities?" According to what you said, there are more than 30 counties in the world, and there are hundreds of county roads, and the villages are not known to be built, and if they are built one by one, even if the treasury is emptied, it may not be enough! ”

Su Ren saw that Liu Che was also looking at him, and then said: "This is just a plan, as for the construction, Weichen has another set of methods, I am rich in the Han Dynasty, and the rich people in the world do not know how many, if Your Majesty speaks, anyone who donates money to build a Mongolian scholar can let one of his children enter school for free and be sent to middle school; Donate money to build middle school scholars, a child can enter a middle school for free, guaranteed to enter the university, donate money to build a university, a child enters the university for free, and is guaranteed to be sent to Taixue, and can also set up a monument in front of various Mongolian schools, middle schools, universities and Taixue to show recognition, in addition to Taixue, the rest of the schools can be named after the one who pays the most, presumably there are many people who are willing to pay this money. ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Che laughed and patted Su Ren's shoulder: "Your ability to borrow chickens to lay eggs is really skillful, it sounds good!" ”

Dong Zhongshu pondered for a moment: "Although this can gather scholars from all over the world, it can also open up the wisdom of the people, and establish so many Mongolian schools, middle schools, and universities at once, these places need professors and gentlemen, where do they come from?" ”

"Easy!" Su Ren said: "Although I am talking about the world, Your Majesty also has to consider it, then let's find a place to try, first build it in one place, as long as it is feasible, and then slowly promote, first the county, then the county road, there is a test field, those middle school students who have not passed the university examination can be awarded Mongolian professors, go to various places to study, those who have not been admitted to Taixue, can be awarded middle school professors, go to various middle schools, and those who have no hope of electing officials will be awarded university professors, and go to universities in various places." ”

"This is like a funnel, no matter how much water comes in, as long as Your Majesty grasps the mouth of this funnel, why worry about the lack of talent around? In addition to preparing for the construction of local schools, we advocate the people to donate, donate to a certain extent, and enjoy the treatment of those donors in the preparation, the only difference is that the name cannot be engraved on the stone tablet, so as to calm the psychology of the first person to take money. ”

Dongfang Shuo nodded, flashed out and saluted Liu Che: "Sounds good, you can give it a try, but what's the right place?" ”

Su Ren said: "Shu County! Dr. Wen built the Wen Weng stone room during his tenure in Shu County, and now the people of Shu County live a good life, and there are many rich people, which can be used as a pilot! ”

Liu Che smiled and shook his head: "You can't put all good things in Shu County, I think it's Chang'an, right?" Jing Zhaoyin's rule is the most appropriate, if there is any problem, I can also know it as soon as possible, and this matter will be handed over to Su Ren to handle, Dongfang Shuo and Sima Xiangru will assist from the side, and I will be rewarded for it! ”

"No!" The three of them hurriedly stood up and knelt down to bow.

Liu Che said again: "You should take Taixue first, build Taixue first, as for the other Mengxue, middle school, and university, you can take your time, Taixue is proposed by me, and you must not mess it up!" ”

"Remember, Ministers!"

Liu Che encouraged Wen Dang and Dong Zhongshu, as well as everyone in the Su family, and then drove back to the palace. Kneeling back and forth, Su Ren, whose knees had long been unbearable, grinned and rubbed his knees while asking people to fetch him food. I went to Dou Ying's house early in the morning, and I still haven't eaten a bite. It took a long time to explain the layers of examination systems in later generations, and I was already hungry with my chest sticking to my back.

During the meal, Wen Dang and Dong Zhongshu sat opposite Su Ren, looking at Su Ren who was gobbling up. Dong Zhongshu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, Wen Dang looked at it and said, "Ziheng, did you think about these things a long time ago or did you improvise them?" From the old man's point of view, these things sound very likely to be successful, and I am afraid that I can't think of a temporary idea. ”

Su Ren smiled: "Okay, my teacher, even if I am an immortal, I can't think of so many things at once, to be honest, this matter was brewing when I was in Shu County, this time I came to Chang'an, thinking that if there is no way to see the emperor, I will use this matter to knock on the door, and now the two gentlemen have been successfully released from prison, and it can be regarded as my gratitude to Your Majesty." ”

Dong Zhongshu was stunned: "The two of us didn't die this time, isn't it the intention of the Queen Mother?" ”

Su Ren shook his head: "Mr. Dong still dares to come to Chang'an with your political IQ?" This time, we got through the danger, the two gentlemen were released from prison, I cut off Chen Xu's arm and killed so many Royal Forest Army, if it wasn't for His Majesty's mediation, we would have died a few times. ”

"Your Majesty?" Dong Zhongshu looked up to the sky and sighed: "Your Majesty is still affectionate!" ”

Wen Dang nodded: "Yes!" Although Your Majesty is young, after listening to Ziheng's words just now, you can make a decision immediately, which shows that Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, what are our two old bones? ”

Regardless of the emotion of the two old men, Su Ren stopped talking and buried himself in eating. A big bowl of white rice and the rest of the table dishes, Su Ren ate a little bit of it. Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Su Ren asked Shi Bao to find Cui Chengru, and at the same time asked Dongfang Shuo to invite Dongfang Shuo, and a good show that had ever donated to school kicked off.

Don't say that Cui Chengru is suspicious, and don't say that Dongfang Shuo came quickly. As soon as several people met, Su Ren told Cui Chengru about Liu Che's decision just now at his house, and Cui Chengru's brows were twisted together: "Mr. Su, this sounds like a good thing, but I want to ask the three of you, are we involved in this kind of thing?" Shinong businessman, although the merchant is rich, but the status is far behind the craftsman, there is a gentleman who took the lead in donating money to build Taixue I have no opinion, nothing else is good to say. ”

Su Ren thought that this was the truth. The richest people in the Han world are not businessmen but scholars, these people have connections and connections, and there is no shortage of money at home to hire someone to teach their children. Su Ren's proposal for Mongolian schools, middle schools, universities and the like is not looked down upon at all. Although the merchants also have money, but unfortunately they have no status, they must be suspicious, if they make money but do not get the corresponding return, why bother to be bored.

Su Ren confidently consulted with someone, but he was disgraced. After thinking about it carefully, the core problem of why various schools in later generations were able to continue was that the class was relatively vague. The Han Dynasty is different, and all strata are clearly distinguished, and no one can deal with anyone. For a full night, Su Ren didn't sleep, pacing back and forth in the house, and when the sky was slightly bright, Su Ren made a very important decision.

Unfolding the bamboo slips, Su Ren wrote very attentively. The small seal was originally difficult to write, and Su Ren didn't recognize it completely, comparing it one by one, until the sun was three poles, and he copied it twice before he felt satisfied. Put down the pen, stretched, gritted his teeth, he wanted to enter the palace for the second time, this time it was a serious matter, a major event related to tens of millions of people in the world.
