241. The importance of opening up the wisdom of the people

Suning's discussion of the martial arts academy made Li Erbixia see a new and brand-new picture, it felt like pushing open a window that had never been pushed open, and saw a scenery that had never been seen before, Li Erbixia looked at Suning who was gushing like a river, and felt how lucky he was to get such a stunning boy, everything he said was a strategy that was of great help to the entire Tang Dynasty.

Just like this martial arts school, Li Erbixia has understood some things, this is the practice of the entire military system to move closer to the royal family, the emperor serves as the head of the martial arts school, so the people who come out of the school are nominally protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, and the master of Heaven and Earth Monarch occupies two at this time, and if Li Erbixia really holds this position, he will definitely not be willing to be lonely and be a mascot.

Because he himself is a veteran general, his command skills and battle experience are no less than those generals, and when the time comes, he will come directly to the academy to teach those young officers a lesson, and those officers don't want to remember this kindness for the rest of their lives, and then work hard for the Li Tang Dynasty for the rest of their lives? And listening to Suning's meaning, it is very likely that in the future, the officers of the Tang Dynasty will have to go through the training of the Martial Arts Academy before they can hold positions, that is to say, in the future, the low-level officers and the promoted senior officers of the whole Datang will be his Li Erbixia students!

He used to be a general, and he understands the system in the army, not to mention that now when the generals don't know the soldiers and the generals, the grassroots officers are the ones who really control the direct military power of the soldiers, and the captains of those military offices are the ones who are really in charge of the troops. If those people are their own students, then, the emperor's authority and image will directly cross the general of the army and penetrate into the hearts of the people, and those troops will be extremely loyal to the emperor, not the general, when the time comes, the emperor will say a word, the general will not have the ability to command the army, and all the grassroots officers should be his Li Erbixia's students!

That's a point, and a little more. Li Erbixia Mingrui sensed this. This kid is really smart, and in order to show himself that he has no second thoughts, he is now starting to say that he will prepare for the back road. Martial Arts Academy. Plainly. It is the refuge of those generals whose military merits are too rewardable and unrewarded, and they will also become the teachers of those officers, of course. After all, such authority is not as good as Li Erbixia, but they can save their lives, which not only benefits Li Erbixia, but the entire military will benefit from this.

This is a way back for Li Erbixia to have no reason to refuse, Li Erbixia will not hesitate, will not hesitate at all, even if this is the refuge of the military generals, it doesn't matter, so that they can save their lives, and then continue to contribute to the Tang Dynasty, sit and accept the benefits themselves, every Datang emperor will be the head of the martial arts academy in the future, in that case, why worry about the loss of military power?

This kid, in order to show his loyalty, but he took great pains, but in any case, this martial arts academy must also be done, taking a look at this kid's recent practices, it seems that he has realized something, prepared something, and is ready to fight against those people.

Suning finally finished all the ideas, and Li Erbixia said with a smile: "Finished? ”

Suning nodded: "That's it." ”

Li Erbixia nodded: "You successfully persuaded me, tomorrow, tomorrow you go to write an excerpt, the day after tomorrow, when the court meeting, you give me this excerpt, I will take a look, if there is no problem, you can start to prepare, if you do a good job, you will be credited with a great achievement!" ”

Suning was overjoyed: "Thank you bixia!" ”

Li Erbixia nodded with a smile, and then said: "Okay, after sparing so many circles, now you can talk about the things you care about the most, do you know that you have done a big thing this time, the owner behind the Drunken Immortal Fang, do you know who it is?" Against them, even I am not sure of victory, let alone you? ”

Suning nodded: "This minister naturally knows this, that group of sanctimonious people, wolf-hearted and dog-lung people!" ”

Li Erbixia said with a smile: "If these words are heard by those people, it is estimated that you will be angry, and you are offering chess and martial arts schools today, which is also for this matter, right?" This thing is not easy to do, if you cut off other people's financial routes, they will definitely impeach you, and there are many ways, no matter which method, it will be very dangerous, you are still shallow, it is difficult to deal with this matter. ”

Suning said: "So there are still some things that the minister wants to discuss with Bixia, many things, at this time, you can already start to do it, I don't know how many books Bixia has engraved using papermaking and printing?" What is the speed? The result? If it's almost okay, you can start preparing for more important things, if the things of the martial arts academy can knock the mountain and shake the tiger, then if the papermaking and printing technology are revealed, it is enough to scare those people to death. ”

Li Erbixia laughed proudly, this is true, their biggest advantage is the cultural monopoly, if they can't monopolize culture, they are also scholars: "You naturally don't have to worry about this, I went to see it at the beginning, and the effect was very good, but these alone are not very good, with books, you also need excellent teachers, without teachers, everything is in vain." ”

Suning nodded and said, "Bixia, do you know why the former Sui used the imperial examination to select talents?" Li Erbixia said: "I naturally know that the official position in the court is held by a large number of children of the family, although Emperor Sui has the idea to break this situation, but there are too few talents available to the people, so the imperial examination is just a cover, even now, but it is still, hey!" Li Erbixia shook his head with some distress.

Suning said very seriously: "Bixia, if one day, all official elections and appointments must be made through the imperial examination before they can be realized, would Bixia be willing to see this day?" If one day, all the scholars in Datang have the opportunity to be officials, without having to look at their family background, and are admitted on the basis of merit, would Bixia be willing to see this day? ”

Li Erbixia looked at Suning and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't spit it out!" ”

Suning nodded: "Why can't we educate talents by ourselves, cultivate talents by ourselves, and cultivate the talents we need by ourselves?" There is no shortage of people among the people. What the people lack is books and teachers, if the imperial court can afford books and teachers, then everyone in the Tang Dynasty can study, can participate in the imperial examination, and have the opportunity to be officials! There are tens of millions of people in Datang, how many children of those families are there? If it weren't for the fact that there were too few books for the people to read, what would they be capable of?

bixia, this matter is even more difficult than the martial arts academy, and the minister is not sure, but. We can at least give it a try. Chen's idea is actually to establish a school in the whole of Datang, and Datang has three levels of Daozhou County, and the school can also be divided by virtue of these three levels. At the county level, the Mongolian School was established. Junior schools are established at the state level. A senior school was established at the provincial level, and after that, it was established in Chang'an. University! ”

Li Erbixia stood up suddenly: "University?!" Datang set up its own school? Nurturing talent? ”

Suning nodded: "That's right, there is no shortage of people in the people, what is lacking is education, the importance of opening up the wisdom of the people Bixia will not not understand, the reason why the former Sui has no way to fight with the family is that they ignore the process too much, but only focus on the result, they have not thought about how to use the folk liliang and the family to fight, the preciousness and lack of books are destined to those things that the family can learn, the folk children of the poor family can not learn, the children of the family can read, the children of the poor family can not read, there is no culture, What to fight against the Maison? How domineering Cao Mengde was at the beginning, issuing a meritocracy order, but what was the result?

As soon as Cao Mengde went, Cao Pi changed the meritocracy order to the Jiupin Zhongzheng order, and completely abandoned Cao Mengde's practice, this is not because Cao Mengde did it wrong, Cao Mengde's practice of suppressing the strong and striking the family is that the minister also felt amazing, if he had papermaking and printing, maybe he would become, but the important thing is that he didn't, and the people have no talent, there are not enough talents, no books, no teachers, no learning, where are the talents? Yes, there are, but how rare are they? As soon as Cao Mengde died, Cao Pi found that he no longer had enough talents to continue to maintain the Great Wei, so he compromised, and the talents were in the hands of the family!

Bixia, if you want to fight against the family, you must open the wisdom of the people, the folk is like a huge treasure house, but it is locked, the key is not created, but we have the materials and jishu to build the key, all we have to do is to spend time to create a key, open this treasure house, and then we can get the treasure in the treasure house, open the wisdom of the people! It is necessary to open the wisdom of the people, and only by opening the wisdom of the people can Datang avoid repeating the mistakes of the previous Sui.

Bixia, for a long time we have ignored a very important problem, whether it is in the army or the imperial court, what we need most is not the top talents, the number of heroes is too small, there will be more than a dozen people in a hundred years, and it will be the end, but the huge Datang is managed by more than a dozen people? What the imperial court and the army also need are a huge number of grassroots officials and officers, those county magistrates and lower-level officials who have been ignored by us, as well as the commanders and brigade commanders in the army. Hard-working, hard-working, hard-working, Datang needs thousands of such talents, and then talents can play a role!

They need to be able to deal with some very simple civil disputes, or land problems, or planting problems, or some small things, these things are small, but a lot, the trouble is very big, which needs to be done by those grassroots management, the failure of the former Sui is that the specific situation of the people is not taken into account to open the imperial examination, and what kind of talent has been found? There are no talents at all, because there are no conditions for cultivating these talents, there are no books to read, there are no teachers to teach, where are the talents?

But now we are different, Datang already has papermaking, has already had printing, the problem of books has almost been solved, what remains is the problem of teachers, there are indeed few folk readers, and most of the readers are for officials, not for teachers, but there are always some hermits who are knowledgeable but have no intention of being officials, at this time, Datang can take advantage of these advantages, open schools, open schools in all places that can open schools, distribute books, and encourage hermits to go out to the mountains to be teachers. School-age children are allowed to enroll in school for free, and the imperial court provides everything!

At this time, the cost is not distressed, because no matter how much we invest, when these students grow up in the future, there will be at least thousands of people, and there is no need for many talents, as long as they have the ability to do a good job as a county magistrate or a more low-level official, they can come step by step, and maybe they can only stop at the state assassination history in the end, but even so, Datang no longer lacks talents.

The academy and the imperial examination will continue to provide enough officials for Datang, these officials come from the people, from the poor family, inexhaustible, at that time, there is no need to compromise with those families, Datang does not lack their talents, without such a reliance, what can they do? What can they do? Bixia, what do you say?! (To be continued......)
