Chapter 338 Six Arts Entering Beijing

The students of the Six Arts gave Zhao Zhen a very unusual feeling. Their strategy articles are not only literary, but also ideas, and put forward many novel views.

For example, a student named Zhang Dun proposed to set up a archery club in the border areas and recruit militias. Any warrior who can kill the Liao bandits and the Western thieves will be exempted from taxes for one family. If three people are killed, three classes of missions can be given to them and become the lowest military officer in the court.

He also estimated that as long as one million trump cards were spent every year and subsidized for the archery club for training, the court would get 100,000 soldiers who dared to fight.

There is another person named Lu Huiqing. He believed that the situation in the Liao Kingdom was complicated and that various tribes fought against each other. Even the Yelu family and the Xiao family were full of contradictions. The court should find ways to divide and disintegrate the Liao Kingdom and support some of them to cause trouble. As long as the Liao Kingdom is not at peace, the Song Dynasty can rest assured.

He even expressed his sternness that he could not just think about governing the Song Dynasty well, but also exhaust his opponents and weaken the Liao Kingdom, so that he could defeat others without fighting.

Overall, among the students of the Six Arts, the essays were led by the brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe, but in terms of the strategy of starting a military strategy and conspiracy, there were too many people who were better than them. For example, Zhang Dun, Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, who was good at financial management, and Han Zongwu, who advocated reinterpreting the Confucian classics, all made Zhao Zhen’s eyes lit up.

What a blessing to win all the talents in the world!

As the emperor, Zhao Zhen was not immune to the common people.

He decided to snatch the Six Arts School and give it the royal name, so that these outstanding students can also become disciples of the emperor... Obviously, Zhao Zhen was a little jealous of Wang Ning'an and the others!

Wang Ning'an's eyes rolled and suddenly had a new idea, "Your Majesty, since you want to use the Six Arts Academy as a model in the world, should you move Six Arts from Cangzhou to the capital?"

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up. Of course he had this idea. The problem was that he had a bit of picking peaches and picking cheap things. He had no nerve to say it, but Wang Ning'an told him.

"Wang Qing, are you willing to bear it?"

"Your Majesty, Liuyi was to cultivate talents for the country, and there was nothing to be willing to give up. What's more, the capital is located in the center of the world, with students from all directions gathering, and it is better to attract talents and promote the influence of Liuyi! "

Zhao Zhen nodded with a smile, "Since that's the case, then do it!"

The emperor and his ministers sang together and brought the Six Arts School to the capital. The civil servants couldn't stand it anymore. Wang Yaochen hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is already an Imperial College and an Imperial College in the capital. It's not a good idea to add a Six Arts School to the capital, which is not appropriate!"

"I don't agree with what Mr. Wang said!"

Fan Zhongyan said: "The Imperial College followed the Tang system and only recruited children of officials above the seventh rank. Later, during the Qingli period, the posts were increased, but only 200 people were only trained by officials, and only taught the thirteen classics, poetry, songs and other imperial examination contents, which was different from the Six Arts School!"

Zhao Zhen asked with a smile: "Mr. Fan, what do you think is the difference between Liuyi Academy?"

"To your Majesty, the Six Arts School must first be big enough. At present, the Six Arts School in Cangzhou has 3,000 disciples. When they go to Beijing to run schools, there must be at least 10,000 people. Moreover, the Six Arts is not just about cultivating talents to be officials, but also about all-encompassing and providing all knowledge. At present, the Six Arts School includes the School of Economics, Business School, School of Calculation, School of Martial Arts, School of Medicine, School of Ages, and Fast and Preparatory Schools."

Fan Zhongyan explained in detail the composition of the Six Arts School, and at the same time, he also told everyone the mystery of the emergence of talents in the Six Arts School.

First of all, after years of exploration, the Liuyi Academy has formed a complete education system, which is slightly different from what Wang Ning'an designed. First, children over seven years old will enter the preparatory course after paying tuition and complete three years of study. Taking the entrance examination, of course, outsiders can also directly register and pass the assessment to enter the Liuyi Academy. The first three years were general education, not only Confucian classics, but also mathematics, astronomy, geography, agriculture, sports and other subjects.

After completing these three years of academic system, you can enter each college according to your interests, for another three years, a total of nine years. Except for the School of Economics, which is prepared for the imperial examination, all other colleges are all cultivating specialized talents.

"The so-called broad view and appointment, accumulation and development are achieved through hard work. After three years of general education, students must complete literacy, master the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and learn to ride horses and shoot archery. If they cannot pass the assessment, they must be reincarnated. After entering various colleges, they must hone their professional talents. Generally speaking, students who have emerged from the Six Arts have entered various industries except those who are interested in the imperial examination."

Zhao Zhen said curiously: "Mr. Fan, how are they now?"

"Your Majesty, now there are students from Liuyi in Pingxian, Cangzhou, Hebei, even Shandong, and even Lingnan. Taking the School of Calculation and Business School as an example, many people have not graduated and have been spotted by major banking and business banks in advance and signed contracts. It is shameful that some students can get a salary of 10,000 yuan in the first year of graduation. Some students from the School of Business and the School of Aboriginal Engineering jointly organized workshops and operated business. In one or two years, they have accumulated hundreds of thousands of wealth. Every year, they only provide taxes to the court, and have solved the work of thousands of people."

Fan Zhongyan said with great relief: "In the past few years of my old minister's experience in the Six Arts Academy, he witnessed the achievements of the students, which is really a great comfort. In the past, academies and schools limited students to the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination! Facts have proved that not everyone is suitable for writing articles and can become officials. Confucius even pays attention to teaching students according to their aptitude. Many people have worked hard and have white hair, but cannot pass the imperial examination. At the same time, it is my Song Dynasty's industry, finance, navigation, medicine... all aspects, lack of talents. Too many people flock to the imperial examination, but they are eager to seek talents in other places. This is very abnormal!"

Fan Zhongyan paused and said, "Since Your Majesty has given the word "royal" and scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, they are all your Majesty's people. How can you pay attention to officials alone? Liuyi Academy is not the Imperial College or the Imperial College, but it is just a place to cultivate talents. Anyone who is willing to study can find the major you like in Liuyi and find his own value."

Pa, pa, pa...

Zhao Zhen took the lead in applause and said happily: "Mr. Fan is very clear. Liuyi is different from the Imperial College. It is aimed at all the people. The students of Liuyi are not devoted to seeking fame and fortune. If the Imperial College and the Imperial College are still worried that the Six Arts School will impact their status, then they should strive to improve and strive to truly cultivate talents for the Song Dynasty, rather than complaining about the world and suppressing dissidents!"

Zhao Zhen was aggressive and looked down at his husbands, "In recent years, the National Court has been very dissatisfied with the people he has taken. The Six Arts School entered the capital, which is the beginning of change. From now on, the Taixue style will be abolished and the general subjects will be added. As the pre-examination for the imperial examination, we will strictly prevent the four styles who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and ignorant people from learning and entering the court and corrupting the spirit of the scholars and forests!"

"The Royal Academy is very important. Mr. Fan and Mr. Yan, you two have worked hard to judge the Royal Academy. In addition, Mei Yaochen is also the Royal Academy! In the future, the Song Dynasty will rely on several dear ministers to cultivate talents!"

The emperor was full of enthusiasm and entrusted the important tasks to Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu and others.

In the eyes of Fu Bi, Han Qi and others, they were so angry that they burst into tears!

Don't play like this!

If the Six Arts School enters Beijing, it is very likely that it will change the imperial examination trend of the Song Dynasty within twenty years, then Fan Zhongyan and Yan Shu enters Beijing, which means that they will immediately change the balance of power between the court!!!

This is going to make a big deal!

Although the Royal Academy is located lower than that of the Imperial Academy and Imperial College.

But! But!

Who is Lao Fan? Who is Yan Shu?

The two of them have no official positions, and as long as they are in the capital, that is terrible enough!

What's more, the Six Arts Academy became famous in one go, and a large number of young scholars would inevitably gather. They all became Fan Zhongyan's disciples, shaking flags and shouting, where will you place your husbands at that time?

Everyone was thinking about how to refute, and Jia Changchao immediately stood up.

"I'll tell Your Majesty that Mr. Fan said very well, but the court's financial resources are limited, how can we support tens of thousands of students? Please ask Your Majesty for the Holy Tribunal?"

Yan Shu laughed and said, "Xia Xianggong has been worried too much. Liuyi Academy has a way to support itself."

"Take it seriously? Grandpa Yan didn't lie?" Jia Changchao said curiously.

Wang Ning'an took over the conversation, "Jia Xianggong, Liuyi Academy is different from other academies. Fan Xianggong just introduced that Liuyi cultivates practical talents, so many businessmen are willing to cooperate with Liuyi to provide financial support. After the students of Liuyi are finished, they will also donate money to run the school. In addition, some tuition and school investments, Liuyi Academy has not only not lost money in the past few years in Cangzhou, but has a slight surplus and can subsidize poor people."

Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "Grandpa Jia, it would be great if the court could provide Liuyi with a piece of land."

Jia Changchao hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, what about the one near Jinmingchi west of Fan Tower?"

Wang Ning'an couldn't help but shout, "Mr. Jia, you are too treacherous. That piece of land is the Royal Bank. Every inch of land is valuable. It is the commercial area of ​​the future!"

Jia Changchao's face sank, "Mr. Wang, Royal Bank and Royal Academy are all family members, why do you have to share so clearly! For the sake of the court! Didn't you provide a low-interest loan to Sansi last time? It's nothing to give up another piece of land this time!"

Wang Ning'an was so angry that his face turned red and pointed at Jia Changchao, "You Jia Gong, you really don't take advantage of it... I will find a way to convince the shareholders of the Royal Bank. For the sake of the education of the Song Dynasty, we have admitted how much grievances we have suffered!"

You are wronged, I think you are eager to do it?

Han Qi and Fu Bi were so angry that a competition actually made them write such a big article!

What a great skill!

Moving the Six Arts School to the capital and becoming a benchmark for scholars all over the world, Fan Zhongyan and Yan Shu turned over and entered the capital.

From Royal Bank to Royal Academy, I was just thinking hard. By the way, there was also the bad thing Jia Changchao, who got together, and they were like another political affairs hall!

Zhao Zhen favored them again, what should I do in the future?

Jia Xianggong felt the poisonous gaze behind him, but he didn't care at all. Now that he could see, Wang Ning'an was so scheming that he was so good at it and was against him. He insisted on trapping himself in, so he quickly sold it!
