In fact, many things are not what kind of effect the ruler wants to achieve, and what policies can be laid out to achieve corresponding results.

Lu Yi believes that there are so many Confucians in the education sector who are inappropriate, partly because of his own personal feelings, and more because he looks at Confucianism today with the idea of "later generations".

Today's Confucianism is not the Confucianism after Dong Zhongshu joined the "Heaven and Man Induction", or even the Confucianism after the transformation of "Zhu Cheng Lixue".

Confucianism is now a vigorous and upward time, they pay attention to the "six arts of gentlemen", and have a strong enterprising spirit, but to put it very seriously, Confucianism's enterprising is often a bit strange in the direction of progress, such as Lu Yi personally heard that many teachers who belong to Confucianism in education, talking about the ideal society that Confucianism pursues, the most puzzling thing is that when teaching, it is often more like winning over "faith ~ disciples".

Striving for more people and allowing more people to become members of Confucianism has been a common practice since Confucius founded Confucianism. It is estimated that Confucianism is the first school to know the benefits of "many people and many people", and it is also the first school to understand the importance of grasping public opinion~theory. Lu Yi disliked Confucianism, and he himself admitted that it was because he had the vision of "later generations", but he was really thinking about "governing the world".

"What we need is more adventurous spirit and for students to learn about the world." Lu Yi was careful in his wording, and said to Xiao He: "The empire will continue to expand outward in the future, but the people are basically very unfamiliar with the outside world, and they don't even know what is fifty miles away from their hometown. Perhaps we can add more horizon-expanding knowledge to our education? ”

Xiao He was originally leaving, and he was a little surprised that Lu Yi asked him to stay and talk, but after starting to talk, he heard this highness talk about education, Confucianism, and even about the outward development of the empire, and what kind of people the empire needs in the future, and he was a little stunned for a while.

The decision to employ a large number of Confucians in the imperial education circles was a deliberate decision, and Confucianism had already formed a trend of "outnumbering people and overwhelming the many" as early as the end of the Warring States period. There are Confucians at all levels of society, and most of them also control the public opinion ~ theory of the people.

Confucianism's mastery of public opinion ~ theory is not established by one generation or two generations, it is after dozens of hundreds of years of accumulation, they have repeatedly wanted to use the folk public opinion ~ theory to influence the national policy layout of the vassal states, some successes and some failures, in fact, even if the operation of public opinion ~ theory is successful, Confucianism does not have the opportunity to ascend to the throne, but will be expelled or secretly purged by the vassal states after repeated failures.

If it was the Spring and Autumn Period or the early Warring States Period, because the monarchs of the various vassal states could not let their reputation be too stinky, they would basically give gifts to anyone who was unhappy, and if the gifts were not successful, they would be expelled at most. After all, killing celebrities has been the most despicable and disgusting thing since ancient times, but to be scolded for the eighteenth generation of ancestors, it will also make talented people dare not go to serve.

So did the various princes have killed a large number of scholars and even celebrities? Some! The First Emperor did it, and it was killed or fried in the most brutal way, because some people talked about his biological mother, Zhao Ji.

"Public opinion ~ theory is a famous weapon, and it cannot be mastered by a certain school." Lu Yi looked at Xiao He shyly and said, "I see the Confucian teachers in the school, they are very serious about lecturing. But there are too many private goods entrained. ”

Xiao He had a smile on his face, quietly listening to Lu Yi's slow narration, what was he thinking in his heart? He was thinking that Lu Yi had a reputation for being smart since he was a child. I am almost ten years old, and the older I get, the more I begin to have more insights into some national policies. And it seems that he had heard the emperor talk about Lü Yi with his own ears, and the emperor's words were that Lü Yi would either have a top-notch achievement in the future. is also very likely to become an extremely bastard emperor.

Yes, that's what Lu Zhe told Xiao He, and it was also the first time that he revealed his idea of letting Lu Yi take over in front of his ministers.

At that time, Xiao He was actually very relieved. He is the one who supports the law of primogeniture, and Lu Yi's biological mother Zhao Wan is the queen, so Lu Yi is the eldest son of the matter of course, and of course he is very sure of the emperor's idea of letting Lu Yi succeed to the throne. If it was just because Lu Yi was the eldest son, he agreed with the emperor's thoughts, and then he secretly observed Lu Yi and saw some of Lu Yi's behaviors, and Lu Yi's performance really made him happy.

It's just that...... Lu Yi came to talk about the education of the empire at the age of ten, and even put forward some opinions, Xiao He didn't think deeply about what Lu Yi said for the time being, but the shock in Xiao He's heart was very big, so big that he could only keep a smile on his face for a while to hide it.

Lu Yi continued to narrate, Xiao He listened and sorted out his thoughts just now, and waited for Lu Yi to stop talking and look at himself before he said, "Your Highness, do you know why Confucianism is flooding the education world?" ”

"Yes." Of course Lu Yi knew, he nodded: "In order to find something to do for them, there won't be so many people in the opposition, and then they will engage in the people." ”

"This highness is very disgusted with Confucianism?" Xiao He thought to himself: "Your Highness is so young, is it because there are Confucian students in the school who have offended, or is it influenced by someone?" ”

In fact, Lu Zhe, who has become the emperor, can no longer easily show disgust or disgust towards certain things or certain people, but as long as he has the intention to observe carefully, he will probably know that Emperor Lu Zhe also has no good impression of Confucianism, and even has no good impression of Confucianism, which is a very disgusting attitude.

Xiao He happened to be one of the people who knew the emperor's view of Confucianism, they actually didn't know so well why the emperor had such a bad sense of Confucianism, and after that sacrifice ceremony, he found a reason for the emperor to dislike Confucianism, and on a deeper level, he also understood that no ruler would like a bunch of guys who manipulated public opinion ~ among the people.

It is precisely because I think a lot and think deeply from the ruling class that any official, even an official of the Confucian school, unless he has ulterior motives and wants to stir up trouble with public opinion~theory, is really a headache for a group of Confucian scholars who like to manipulate public opinion~.

There are actually a lot of Confucian protégés in the officialdom of the empire, such as Shusun Tong is the number one Confucian Confucian, Lu Jia, Kong Kun, and Lu Sheng, who are from Confucianism and are more famous, are also in the imperial officialdom, and some generals such as Sima Xin, Lu Chen, Wu Chen, etc., have also studied some Confucian classics and are no strangers to Confucianism.

The emperor didn't know who first circulated the news of Confucianism, and more and more people learned about this news that they didn't know whether it was true or false, and some people who were originally studying Confucian books were immediately confused, how could they dare to continue studying? Some officials who were originally from Confucianism were even more at risk, patronizing and worrying about when their official positions would be removed. Basically, I don't have the heart to do things. There are many influences such as so on, anyway, because the emperor doesn't like Confucianism, as long as anyone who can have a little relationship with Confucianism is in danger.

As an archon, Xiao He found that not only was there something strange in the officialdom, but also there were problems among the people, so he naturally wanted to report this phenomenon to the emperor.

I have to say that Lu Zhe at that time was also a little stunned, he didn't like Confucianism, but what he didn't like was Dong Zhongshu's "Heaven and Man Induction" and the "Zhu Cheng Lixue" that had been transformed by the Song Dynasty, although he still didn't like the contemporary Confucianism that engaged in public opinion ~ on operation at every turn, but he didn't bring the disgust of later generations to contemporary Confucianism.

It doesn't matter whether Lu Zhe really hates Confucianism or not. When everyone thinks that he is disgusted, even if he is not disgusted, and because the rumors have formed an influence and caused instability in some aspects of the empire, it is always necessary to come up with a modest way to solve it.

"Therefore, His Majesty gathered many colleagues to discuss with the Guangming Palace, first, the empire wants to attach importance to education, but there is an extreme lack of teacher resources, and there are many literate people in Confucianism. The social level is also widely touched, and then there is ......" Xiao He smiled bitterly and shook his head before continuing: "Then the Confucian students in the opposition let them stir up trouble among the people, it is better to keep them within the controllable range." ”

Lu Yi had heard of the discussion, and he already knew the final result and implementation of the discussion. But what he wants to say now is that too many Confucian students have problems with their education.

To be honest, Lu Yi really thinks that the problem of education is very serious, and if one is not good, the next generation may be abolished. Even if it is not wasted, but it is necessary to educate a generation of people who will help the empire in the future national policy, right? But it is clear that the current way of education should be continued. As long as it takes a decade or two to educate the bad things the consequences will make the ruling class dumbfounded one after another.

Perhaps being dumbfounded is not enough to describe the seriousness of educational failure, because Lu Yi is personally accepting the contemporary education template, he can be very responsible and sure that if the current education model is not changed, the empire will definitely face greater trouble in the future than imagined!

"Lack of knowledge of things outside the empire, and then a sense of adventure should be strengthened?" Xiao He listened to it, and even realized the importance of the matter. He pondered for a long time and asked, "Your Highness means that we should pay more attention to the immigrants from the border counties in contemporary education, and even let the contemporary educated people understand the importance of living space construction?" ”

Lu Yi nodded violently, he knew very well that the current center was troubled by the fact that not many people were willing to immigrate to the border counties, not that the immigration policy was bad, nor that the immigration propaganda was not in place, to put it bluntly, the folk thinking of this generation had already identified certain things, and it could not be reversed at all.

Yes, densely populated places are becoming more and more dense, and even if auxiliary policies are in place in the vast and sparsely populated places, there are still too few people willing to move from the hinterland to the border counties, resulting in the phenomenon that the more territory the army has conquered, the more local administrative troubles there are, and even in order to make more people in the territory have begun to consider accepting some local natives.

There is a saying in the imperial military that they believe that their conquest is to open up a living space for the Yanhuang Miao descendants, and once they accept non-Yanhuang Miao ethnic groups, it means that their conquest will be disgraced, so all the generals are extremely opposed to accepting foreign races.

In several counties in the northwest, in order to increase the population under their rule, some local officials searched through almost all the classics, consulted some records about the migration of the Yanhuang and Miao descendants in ancient times, and finally made a very important discovery, believing that the Qiang people operating in the northwest and southwest were actually also Yanhuang and Miao descendants, but the Qiang people were separated from the Yanhuang and Miao descendants of the Central Plains for too long in ancient times, resulting in different cultures and habits.

Why did those people put so much effort into finding out if the Qiang people were also members of the Yanhuang and Miao descent Isn't it just that there are a lot of Qiang people in the northwest and southwest! They also learned about the attitude of the military, so if they want to include the Qiang people in the "big family", there should always be a head, right?

"Indeed, after verification, the Qiang people are indeed members of my Yanhuang and Miao descendants, and His Majesty and the people in the military have agreed with the statements of those county magistrates." Xiao He was also a member of the recognition, and was convinced of the results of the investigation, he saw that Lu Yi's expression was very strange, "hehe" laughed a few times, and continued: "Not only the Qiang people, but also the Rong and Di people in the north also belong to my descendants of Yanhuang after investigation. ”

Lu Yi "hey, hey, hey" smiled a little speechlessly, the consequences of expanding too rapidly had already appeared. The empire has always encouraged more children, but it takes a time from pregnancy to childhood, because there are so few people willing to emigrate, and the officials have begun to desperately want to have a larger population, and the idea has been hit by the tribes who are also Yanhuang and Miao.

Are the Qiang, Rong, and Di people really of the same Yanhuang and Miao descent? Yes, it is true that you can check the relevant records from some records, even the Xiongnu and Donghu...... If a large number of ethnic groups are really counted, they can also be Yanhuang Miao descendants when they are checked!

"The center is already deliberating, and there is a part of the conclusion that the empire will gradually accept the Qiang people, let their living habits and ideological values be assimilated with the people in the interior, and let them return to this civilized family." Xiao He looked at Lu Yi, whose expression was becoming more and more dumbfounded, and said, "I am also considering accepting the Rong and Di people, after all, there is a precedent for this matter." ”

There is a precedent, the Qin State spent two or three hundred years to fuse a group of Rong and Di people, to put it very realistically, most of the millions of people in Guanzhong are the Rong and Di people who have accepted the baptism of Chinese civilization, and now they can't tell who is who.

"We need a population, a very, very large population." Xiao He's expression began to become serious, he also had to be serious, and nodded: "What you said, I will write to Your Majesty to explain, but Your Highness should be clear, we have finally appeased the Confucian School, it is impossible and will not be abolished at the current moment, Your Highness understands?" ”

"Then there should be at least a comprehensive 'refresher' and some inclination in education." The more Lu Yi spoke, the lower his voice became...... (To be continued.) )
