Chapter 315 Wendao Dachang

"Oh?" Yang Wenjing was a little surprised. He looked back and looked up and down carefully. Only then did he realize that this boy was indeed extraordinary.

Combining the correspondence between his friends and disciples, he had already guessed most of it. He couldn't help but smile knowingly, touched his beard and said:

"Your Majesty has arrived, please forgive me for being rude."

He said this, but Li Jia saw that his movements were still the same, waving his sleeves, carrying a breeze, holding a hoe, and working on his flower field, looking like a hermit.

Seeing this, Li Jia suppressed his anger in his heart. In the past few decades, he had never been so neglected. Especially when he became the emperor, he was extremely obedient and had a bad temper.

For the sake of reputation, to recruit talented people, and to unify the world, I endure it, and I must endure it.

"Mr. hoeing weeds, it can be said that you are leisurely and elegant!"

"Your Majesty is so ridiculous. How can a commoner be so leisurely and elegant if he only has enough food and clothing?"

To be honest, if there was a unified dynasty, or if Li Jia unified the whole world, he would have stuffed this dirt directly into his mouth, and then implicated the three tribes. He would be so annoying.

The old boy pretended to me that he was not seeking profit or officialdom, so that was the name of the show. It just so happened that I was the same.

Li Jia felt that he already knew the old man's thoughts, fame and fortune. Not many people in this world could hide from him. He smiled and didn't take it seriously on the surface. Instead, he walked closer to him and looked at the repaired flowers.

, couldn’t help but sigh:

"Educating people is like planting flowers. There are hundreds of people and hundreds of flowers. After pruning, watering, and weeding from time to time, the flowers can bloom and beautify the world after a lot of hard work!"

"What your Majesty said is very strange, and even more innovative!" Yang Wenjing was a little surprised. He always thought that the emperor of Lingnan was just a martial artist, but he didn't expect that he actually understood some principles and spoke in an orderly manner.

Could it be that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in Lingnan and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in Jiangnan were both literati?

"What a pity, what a pity!" Li Jia picked off a red flower, ignored its heartache, sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and sighed:

"The teacher was able to cultivate this patch of flowers, but he forgot that outside the fence, there was a sea of ​​flowers everywhere. Those flowers that were supposed to be bright and beautiful to the world could only be trampled on, blown away, and could not become useful!"

There was something in these words. Yang Wenjing put down his hoe and invited the emperor into the house. Then his family presented a pot of hot tea and he said:

"Manpower has its time, not to mention that I am just an old farmer. Although I have compassion, how can I care about the flowers outside the fence?"

"As an official, you can assist the king, care for the people, and benefit the people!" Li Jia narrowed his eyes and said.

"The common people are old, so they don't have the energy to be an official!"

"What about teaching and educating people?"

"Just like this flower in the garden, what I can do is only a little." Yang Wenjing smiled, and in turn led an army. After taking a look at the emperor's face, the hot tea in his mouth became even more fragrant.

"As far as I know, Mr. Yang comes from a poor family, right?" Li Jia was not angry at all, but asked calmly.

"I have been copying scriptures since I was a child and worked hard. I did not become an official until I was thirty, and then I was dismissed after less than half a year. Is my knowledge not good? Is it not diligent? Is it not governing the people? No, it is just a muddy government and a noble family.

The rich family just controls the way to promotion!"

Li Jia's voice became louder and louder. He stood up and faced the famous scholar directly, with a different color bursting out of his eyes:

"In the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination system began to be established. In the reign of Emperor Taizong, the system was established, and the world's most talented people actually took part in the imperial examination. The imperial examination was designed to identify talents. However, as time has passed, talented people from poor families were not allowed to be promoted, and aristocratic families controlled the imperial examination..."

"So, I re-established the imperial examination in Lingnan, first using names and copying, so that the imperial examination was no longer for aristocratic families, but for poor families..."

"However, it is not enough. The rich and powerful families control knowledge, and ordinary poor people cannot get a book if they want it. They often lose their money and they are just learning writing for the first time!"

"I have books but no good teachers. I don't know how many good talents have been wasted. Li Jia is really heartbroken!"

As he spoke, Li Jia couldn't help but pat his chest. The performance was so intense that the scholar opposite him couldn't help but be immersed in it and moved by it.

"I am planning to set up a state school in every state and a county school in every county in the land of Hunan to popularize literature and culture, and make the world prosperous. It is not far away!"

"And, sir, it is the top priority of Hunan's cultural movement!"

He said so much just to prove to the great scholar that he valued literati and was not a reckless man, so as to gain favor and consolidate his rule.

Such a neutral and prestigious figure belongs to the type of friend. To conquer the world, it means to have many friends and few enemies until they are eliminated. Obviously, the Hunan literati and official class headed by this great Confucian,

It requires fighting and cooperation.

Otherwise, if Li Jia was full and full, he would go to the wilderness to meet an old man. No matter how highly educated he was, he would be just a bigger ant to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please be informed that before the world was unified, when the nations were in dispute and in chaos, warriors were often more important than scribes!" Yang Wenjing's expression changed when he heard this. Although he was fascinated by the idea of ​​this emperor, he still reminded:

"In these troubled times, martial arts are needed to conquer the world. If Your Majesty abandons martial arts, it will be a blessing for the Tang Dynasty and all people in the world!"

"That's the lesson, sir!" Li Jia nodded, and the effect finally appeared. He said solemnly:

"Hunan is like the Central Plains, because the cultural movement in Hunan is not prosperous, and it has been deserted for many years. Today, I invite you to come to Shigu Academy to promote Hunan's cultural movement!"

Shigu Academy is located in Shigu Mountain in Hengzhou. It was first built in the fifth year of Yuanhe in the Tang Dynasty. Li Kuan, a Guangzhou native, built a house on the top of the mountain and studied there, so the academy was built.

In the Tang Dynasty, famous figures such as Qi Yingyu, Wenxuan, Lu Wen, Han Chang, Li Zoujun etc. all left poems in Shigu.

Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty bestowed "Shigu Academy", which together with Yingtian Academy, Bailudong Academy and Yuelu Academy, are known as the four major academies in the country.

It can be said that Shigu Academy and Yehou Academy in Hengshan (founded by Li Fan, the governor of Suizhou, in memory of his father Li Mi) are both twins in Hunan, and they are important production areas for the seeds of literature and Taoism.

Such a position as the head of the mountain can be said to be a great gift.

"Shigu Academy has its own leader, and it is a friend of the grassroots people. Please forgive the grassroots people for their troubles!"

Li Jia understood what he meant. As a famous scholar and a great scholar in Hunan, he could not take away his friend's position just because he was a mountain leader. Wouldn't this ruin his reputation?

"In this case, sir, I will go to Changsha Prefecture. This is the best place in Hunan. I am willing to build an academy and spread the name of Confucianism!"

Since I don’t want to compete for position, I can only spend a lot of money in order to win over you as a celebrity.
