Chapter 100 Reading for the rise of the Song Dynasty
"Uncle Yong was very strong and strong, and he was the one who presided over the promotion of school. The position of mountain chief is Uncle Yong." Yan Shu, who had the highest status, spoke.
Mei Yaochen smiled and said, "Uncle Yong is indeed the most suitable one."
Ouyang Xiu was in trouble. If Yan Shu didn't come, he deserved it. But when Yan Shu came, how could he have his place...
"How about this, Zuiweng served as the mountain chief, and Xianggong Yan became the honorary mountain chief."
No need to ask, this bad idea must have been made by Wang Ning'an.
Gun Yan looked at the young man meaningfully and said with a smile: "Since the boss has spoken, let's go with him!"
After some discussion, Yan Shu was appointed as the honorary mountain chief, Ouyang Xiu was appointed as the mountain chief, Mei Yaochen was appointed as the deputy mountain chief, and Yu Jing was appointed as the education chief. There was nothing Wang Ning'an had to do, but who knew that Ouyang Xiu proposed to let him be the chief of finance, which was unanimously agreed.
Facing his earnest gaze, Wang Ning'an wanted to curse people. These old guys were so sucking and not spitting out bones. The finance chief clearly asked himself to pay for it, and they took a bite!
Although he was full of grievances, these guys could not even be invited by others for money, so Wang Ning'an could only feel pain and be happy.
After allocating the official position, Yu Jing suddenly slapped his thigh.
"I said, Uncle Yong, we discussed for a long time and forgot to name the academy. What should we call it?"
Wang Ning'an blinked, stood up quickly and smiled, "I suggest calling it a university. There is an Imperial College in Beijing. Let's call it a little less. Call it a university. How about it?"
"Not very good!"
Ouyang Xiu was frightened and said in his heart that Wang Erlang was so bad that he had just cheated him once, and he immediately took revenge. The newly established school had to challenge the Imperial College of the government, thinking it was not trouble enough!
"That's called Jixia Academy."
If you say this, Ouyang Xiu doesn’t need to do it together.
He is so shameless. No matter how brave he is, he cannot be compared with the saints of the pre-Qin period!
Everyone arranged Wang Ning out directly, and someone suggested calling him Cangzhou Academy. Yan Shu shook his head, and his grandfather, why did he go to the local academy?
After thinking about it, Ouyang Xiu said in a muffled voice: "Otherwise, it's called Liuyi Academy."
"What does Uncle Yong mean?" Yan Shu asked.
"Rite, music, shooting, imperial, book, and number are the six abilities determined by the official school in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and six necessary practices for Confucians. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the imperial examinations have been prosperous, and martial arts have been restored. The scholars have focused on articles, classics and meanings, and ignored other abilities. The talents who came from the imperial examinations do not understand agricultural affairs, do not understand water conservancy, cannot manage finances, and cannot fight... Although some abilities can be continuously trained after becoming officials, it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the life and death of the people cannot be handed over to laymen at will, and the life and death of the people is regarded as a joke. This is also the original intention of the servant to establish the school..."
Ouyang Xiu's words were earnest and the big guy nodded frequently.
Especially Su Laoquan, he actually danced and said it to the heart.
It turns out that he was not good at extravagant and flamboyant and empty words, so he was defeated. Ouyang Xiu's deep proposition and his ideas, and the situation was even bigger. Su Laoquan felt that he was really right.
However, Wang Ning'an, his thoughts and flowers, gradually guessed the clues through the expressions of several people, observed his expressions.
Whether it was Yu Jing or Yan Shu, they had some conflicts with the prefects.
Using the banner of running a school, they promoted their ideas and wrestled with several husbands.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand. Without deeper considerations, people will not condescend to the nobles and go to a small academy to be a stinky old man!
Wang Ning'an has been exploring and using these people, and they have also made their abacus sensation.
It’s hard to say who used whom!
...
After establishing the name of the academy and demarcating the positions, several big headscarves were ready to open the door to recruit students.
Wang Ning'an is already big, okay? This is a school with three or four thousand people, not a school with dozens of people, so how can there be no rules?
"Zuiweng, as the mountain leader, how do you always think the academies should be divided?"
"What's the difficulty?" Ouyang Xiu once assisted Fan Zhongyan in implementing the Academic Promotion Order, and founded the Imperial Academy with rich experience.
"The Six Arts School is divided into upper house, inner house, outer house, freshmen enter outer house to study. Each month, a small test, half a year large test, two-year period, good grades enter inner house, and those with excellent grades can enter upper house, and we personally teach. All students in upper house are provided with food, clothing, brush and ink." Ouyang Xiu grabbed his beard and smiled: "The financial officer must think more of it."
Let me pay for it again!
Wang Ning'an curled his lips contemptuously.
"Zuiweng, your old method is to copy the Imperial Academy. Not to mention that the Imperial Students have the imperial examination discounts. For example, if you can directly be awarded an official position in the upper class, you can be exempted from the Ministry of Rites, and you can be exempted from the lower class. Just say, can copy an Imperial Academy in Cangzhou realize your old school philosophy?"
Ouyang Xiu pondered a little, that's right. Since it is called Liuyi Academy, it must be different from the official school of the Imperial Academy that focuses on the meaning of the classics and poetry.
"Erlang, what are your opinions?"
"There is no question of high opinion. I dared to ask for advice. Seniors, why do you think you are studying?"
As soon as this question arose, everyone present changed their expressions. It seemed simple, but it was actually very difficult to answer...
Yu Jing was very calm. He said frankly: "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the golden house in the book. In order to seek fame, to sell goods, to the emperor, to be an official, to show what he learned in his heart, to say it is for the people of the world, to say it is for the glory of the family and to be a small one, to glorify the ancestors. Wang Erlang, what do you think?"
"Sir, I'm so happy. I want to ask you. How many people can realize the above wishes by studying?"
This time Ouyang Xiu spoke, "Our imperial examination is booming, and the heaven is kind and he is very kind. He will receive many scholars every year. However, every subject is accepted by hundreds of people in each subject. None of the scholars in the world can pass the imperial examination."
"What about the others, you will be in a mess for the rest of your life?" Wang Ning'an asked, Ouyang Xiu was dumbfounded. He had seen too many students who failed the exam, and there were some people present.
"Zuiweng, I thought that Confucius's disciples were 3,000, and his wise men were only 72, and his success rate was not high. The establishment of the Six Arts Academy was to cultivate talents in all aspects. Not everyone is suitable for the imperial examination and is suitable for being an official. It is certainly worth being happy to be admitted to the Jinshi, but what if you fail? You also need to give them a way."
Wang Ning'an said, and took out a plan he had drawn up.
He also adopted Ouyang Xiu's "Three Discards Method", but the specific content is more rich and perfect.
All freshmen need to go through three years of basic education. During these three years, they mainly recognize words, exercise their bodies, and learn basic mathematics. After three years, they will be promoted to the inner room based on their grades and ambitions.
If you want to take the path of imperial examinations, you can continue to read the Thirteen Classics, learn poetry, songs, and accumulate talent.
If the imperial examination is hopeless or if you have other interests, you can enter other secondary schools, including mathematics, medicine, astronomy, law, water conservancy, engineering, accounting, and agriculture.
After five years of study in secondary schools, after passing, you will be promoted to Shangshe and take the imperial examination path, you must prepare for the exam. As for other subjects, after entering Shangshe, you will focus on learning professional knowledge, enter various industries for internships, and hone your skills. The principle of Shangshe is three years. If you are hired in advance, you can graduate with the exam first.
At the same time, at each level, a martial arts academy is set up. The martial arts academy in the Wai's room is similar to the junior education, but it focuses more on physical fitness. When you arrive at the intermediate martial arts academy, you need to learn weapons, practice martial arts, equestrians, etc. The senior martial arts academy learns the method of leading troops...
Wang Ning'an didn't want his subordinates to be a bunch of rude men. In fact, leading troops to fight is the most profound and sophisticated science. Without sufficient cultural level, it would not be possible!
The fierce general Zhang Fei only exists in the Romance of the Romance. In fact, Zhang Fei has a good knowledge and a delicate mind, and can draw pictures of ladies!
Obviously, Wang Ning'an wants to use the Six Arts Academy to cultivate the talents he wants.
Yan Shu and others circulated Wang Ning'an's method, but the content inside did not cause much vibration, but the sentence on the cover made Yan Shu chew repeatedly and feel deeply moved.
