Chapter 327: New Academic Politics (1)
Hui left, taking the Shenxiao Battalion composed of 2,000 disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, together with the 8,000 exiled warriors recruited by Li Renai with Liu Xing's funding, and left Wutai City.
Their goal was Xipingfu, the capital of Western Xia, and their purpose would be to open a wholehearted chapter for the entire world.
This chapter is planned by Liu Xing and Ma Kuo, Hui Liao, Zong Ze, and Zhang Suo, who can surrender without a fight, or at least stabilize the western frontier with less bloodshed and sacrifice.
In this new chapter, Wisdom will undoubtedly become the core brain of the whole strategy. He will become the future supervisor of the Western Xia Kingdom, and he will also become Liu Xing's spokesperson in the Western Xia.
And Li Renai, although he recruited the 'Anxi Army' composed of the children of the Hao clan who were forced into exile after losing power in the Khitan and Dangxiang people. But in fact, that team was just an army of displaced people with low cultivation and weak combat power.
In terms of relative strength, the two thousand disciples of the Shenxiao Sect will become the absolute main force in the entire "Pingxia Strategy".
And the reason why he chose Shenxiao Camp to go, Liu Xing also hid another thought in it: the land of Western Xia has been controlled by the Demon Spirit Dao for too long for more than a hundred years. If you want to completely eradicate the troubles of the Western Xia, war is only a last resort, and the best way is to assimilate it and make it submit to the Central Plains Dynasty.
What can make a group of people who have been controlled by demons for hundreds of years willing to bow down? Today, the best available means are probably nothing more effective than the practice of religion.
Born in a sect, Liu Xing naturally knew very well why several generations of emperors of the Great Song Dynasty wanted to be crowned immortals, and why there was a Daojun emperor. Whether it is Huang Lao in the Han Dynasty or Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. Religion has always been a good medicine for enslaving the people and paralyzing the spirit of the people.
If he wanted Xixia to surrender forever, Liu Xing naturally would not give up his favorable conditions and switch to the Buddhism that Hui believed in. Besides, Hui said that he was a disciple of Buddhism. In fact, his path of cultivation has become a strange combination of demons, Buddhas, and Taoists.
So let Hui take the Shenxiao camp to Western Xia. What Liu Xing wants is the future in the land of Western Xia. Based on 2,000 Shenxiao disciples, a new belief system with Taoism and Shenxiao as the core has been developed.
Only when a new system of belief is established can it be possible to use the Shenxiao faction to order the party members, and it is possible to ensure that the Western Xia will no longer become a major problem in the Central Plains......
Acting after planning and acting must complement each other, so when Hui Liao set off with the Shenxiao soldiers, Liu Xing immediately summoned the cabinet officials to the Tianshu Pavilion.
After some discussion and debate, the strategy offered by Hu Anguo, who had just entered the cabinet, became an auxiliary strategy for the attack on Western Xia.
This strategy also directly led Liu Xing to make a new decision: I want to run a new-style school, and I want to engage in a new-style school politics.
So why did Liu Xing think of engaging in new learning because of Hu Anguo's strategy? Mainly because whether it is Zong Ze, Zhang Suo, Ma Kuo, or Hu Anguo and other six Shangshu heads. Now it is the way of Confucius and Mencius, which has been poisoned deeply.
It's not that the way of Confucius and Mencius is bad, but Liu Xingshi knows that the biggest reason why these people have a capable side and a stupid side at the same time is because of the things that bind human thoughts in the way of Confucius and Mencius.
In any kind of thing, if there is a good side, there will inevitably be a bad side. Removing the dross and taking the essence is the main reason why Liu Xing wants to innovate the academic administration and set up a new school.
Since it is new, it must be different from the previous education system and education model. At this point, a group of cabinet officials led by Hu Anguo raised questions: how to determine the school system, and how to carry out a comprehensive reform.
Seeing that the old masters raised questions, Liu Xing immediately calmly said the preliminary thoughts in his heart.
Step 1. Liu Xing wants to transfer Songshan Academy, Yuelu Academy, Shigu Academy, and Bailudong Academy, which have just moved north from Yuelu Mountain. Shandong's Culai Academy, Maoshan Academy, and Yingtian Academy in Bianjing City were all converted into university halls.
The new six university halls of Songshan, Yuelu, Shigu, Bailudong, Culai and Maoshan adopt the mode of official supervision and commercial management, and the official contribution of 60% is the basis for leading academic affairs. We have a number of efforts such as setting basic disciplines and personnel allocation. Business capital and private financing account for 40% of the shares, with entrusted training, guarantee recommendation and other full efforts.
The subjects offered in these six university halls will completely break the restrictions on the imperial examination as the sole purpose of studying. Subjects such as classics, which are mainly based on the Four Books and Five Classics, will be retained as basic subjects, but will not be used as the only assessment subjects that consider students' grades.
In addition to the inherent classics, Liu Xing was the first to propose the establishment of 12 new disciplines, including biology, mathematics, physics, architecture, literature, musicology, chemistry, business management, transit management, civil engineering, metallurgy and minerals, and mechanics.
The names of these disciplines immediately give an idea of what they teach. When determining the discipline, Liu Xing also deliberately expressed an attitude: don't let our students bury their heads in hard study just to enter the officialdom, this world is not only an official, but also needs talents with professional knowledge from all walks of life.
Liu Xing's idea is very clear and beautiful, but after Liu Xing finished talking about the setting of the thirteen basic disciplines, he was immediately knocked on the head by Hu Anguo, the mentor who recognized himself in Confucianism.
How did Juan Guo get this stick? Here's what he said: The setting of these thirteen disciplines seems to be so that people with a good degree of skill and people from all walks of life can be classified into schools.
However, such as biology, physics, business management, civil engineering, metallurgy and minerals, and mechanics, which used to be low-class trades, would anyone want to study them?
More importantly, even if some people are willing to learn these ninth-rate tricks, who will teach them? You must know that those of us who read are all sage books, and we understand these things in the skin, we can't be teachers, and we can't mislead people's children!
To run a school, the first priority is teachers. If the faculty is strong, the talents will naturally be cultivated in batches and continuously through the academy, and will be transported to the society to promote the development of the society.
Liu Xing was clear at this point, so after the teacher raised questions, Liu Xing couldn't help but be stunned, and said secretly in his heart: Yes! Without good teachers, how can you teach good students? Those disciplines are highly specialized disciplines, and not insiders can only teach a group of laymen. (To be continued......)
