Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 338: Penetration
Chapter 338 Infiltration
This "unintentional" donation by Zhang Fei kicked off an educational reform in this early winter season.
But then again, education reform had already fermented in the Song Dynasty, and the Qingli New Deal sparked a wave of academic reform.
It is mainly the ten reform proposals put forward by Fan Zhongyan, such as "refining tributes and selecting officials", reforming the education system at that time, changing the superficial style of study that advocated Ci Fu at that time, emphasizing classics, righteousness, current affairs, and reality.
The current Wang Anshi and Sima Guang are also following this path.
Simply put, be pragmatic.
For example, the "learning of chapters and sentences and annotations" in the Han and Tang Dynasties is too decadent and has seriously restricted the development of Confucianism.
This is really not the personal philosophy of Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi, but a common demand among scholars.
In history, Wang Anshi also gave a heavy blow to the "Study of Zhangju Annotation" in the Han and Tang Dynasties, which made it sluggish for hundreds of years, and did not make a comeback until the early Qing Dynasty.
The arrival of Zhang Fei is just to add an educational competition to it.
Zhao Xu also seems to be quite satisfied with this situation, and also let Wang Anshi and Sima Guang take up positions in the Imperial College to take charge of the administration of discipline.
The difference between Sima's and Wang's ideas was immediately apparent.
Sima Guang directly adopted Zhang Fei's tutorial, but he did not make major changes to the previous teaching regulations of the Imperial College.
To put it simply, he still counts the Law School as part of the Imperial College.
However, Wang Anshi directly overturned the system of Guozijian. He immediately established the Sanshe method in the Mathematical Academy.
There are 2,000 people in the outer house, 300 people in the inner house, and 100 people in the upper house.
Based on a certain number of years and conditions, students are promoted from the outer house to the inner house and then to the upper house.
In the past, Guozijian recruited students by virtue of their kindness, and Juren and Jinshi could also enroll. As a result, the number of students in Guozijian today is less than 200.
But Wang Anshi stipulated that 2,000 people could be recruited.
Where does this person come from?
So the Mathematics Academy not only has the first two, but also allows common people to pass the exam.
He did not change the previous system of shady students, but at the same time opened up new sources of students.
This is also in line with his consistent political philosophy, open source.
But this is not the key point. The key point is that Wang Anshi said that those who pass the test will be directly admitted to the Department of Regulations of the Second Government.
Yin Sheng entered the court as an official through the Guozijian, following the traditional path of Enyin. It can even be said that the Guozijian is just a shortcut for the children of eunuchs to enter the court as an official, so that they do not need to go through the cruel imperial examination.
Those dandies are inside, most of the time they are playing around, fooling around, anyway, they are just going through the motions, which also makes the surrounding area of the Imperial College full of fireworks, romantic places, and the corruption of the Imperial College is also a mess.
But Wang Anshi made such a change, and the problem came. On the one hand, Wang Anshi allowed the common people to take the exam to enter the math school, and those who passed the math school could directly enter the court as an official.
In other words, ordinary people can also avoid the imperial examinations and directly enter the government through the academy.
Education and official career are directly linked.
This actually contains modern teaching concepts.
This is what Wang Anshi expected. He has been thinking about it for a long time. Unexpectedly, he was not well prepared.
However, under his ingenious arrangement, this goal has been achieved, but it is only limited to the mathematics hall.
Not changing the whole system.
In this case, it is hard for the opposition to say anything. The original intention of the establishment of the School of Mathematics is to train specialized talents for the new law, and it is only natural that they will directly enter the Department of Regulations and Regulations of the Second Government.
However, after Wang Anshi's coquettish operation, Sima Guang almost vomited blood in anger.
You really don't talk about Wude, old boy.
Sima Guang didn't mean to bypass the imperial examinations, but Wang Anshi's doing so was tantamount to breaking the rules. He could become an official even if he went to his mathematics school to study, but he couldn't be an official if he came to the law school. I will also come to the Law School.
How does this win?
Sima Guang went to Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, Zhao Bian and others to discuss.
Consult, discuss.
Everyone's opinions are very unified in the end.
Got to do the same.
They also know in their hearts that seven out of ten children of officials and eunuchs are incompetent guys, and how much effort it will take to carve those people into jade.
As for those young officials, although they are talented, there must be only a small number of them who are willing to enter the law school, and this number is limited.
Wang Anshi made a living more by his intelligence, and the talented people among the common people would all go there.
However, if all the talents go to Wang Anshi's side, it is not necessary to think about it, and they will definitely lose in the future.
North Korea and China will be filled with a large number of people who support the New Deal.
This will change the power of the two factions in the court.
The answer is obvious, and there is only so much you can do.
Sima Guang can only learn from Wang Anshi, open the door to the common people, and get talents from them.
This is the competition.
Competition is not the same thing as partisanship.
Partisanship means that you agree, but I oppose it, whether it is right or wrong, and vice versa.
You do the first day of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth day.
This is why Sima Guang later erased all the key points of the New Deal, leaving nothing behind. When he was dying, he was still thinking about how to completely erase the New Deal.
At that time, Sima Guang completely confined himself in a very narrow space.
Later, Cai Jing counterattacked and set up a stele of Yuanyou party members, labeling Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Su Shi and others as traitors.
You must know that Su Shi later strongly suggested to retain many excellent laws in the new law.
So, according to the party's argument, the conservatives would not do this even if they were killed, and they would find all kinds of opposition and obstruction.
And the competition is what you do, so I will do the same. The Tao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet high. Let's compare who attracts more talents.
Although Sima Guang and Wang Anshi only had competition, education, and talent in their eyes, and didn't care too much about funding issues, the cause of this matter was Zhang Fei.
This money still needs to be donated.
Of course, Zhang Fei is also willing to donate the money very much, but this charitable foundation is not his alone.
Alum Building.
Charitable foundation headquarters.
The main donors are all here today.
They are here to discuss the scholarship.
But sitting here, they always feel a little weird.
We are a group of traders, sitting here, talking about the Imperial College.
This..
It was unimaginable before.
Zhou Yan sighed suddenly: "It's the first time I know that doing good deeds is so difficult. We are just a group of businessmen, and we can use some money to help the poor. It's not self-inflicted to get involved with the Imperial College. Trouble?"
Many businessmen nodded in agreement.
They all felt wronged about this matter, and they would never agree to it if they were given a choice, and they didn't know until this matter broke out. Of course, everyone was panicked.
To this day, there is still some dissatisfaction with this.
It was only later that two big rich men donated a sum of money to support the donation to the Imperial College, which relieved their resentment.
A businessman with a big belly said: "You can't say that. Those students will have the opportunity to become officials in the court in the future. We will donate to them when they are most difficult. This kindness will definitely be rewarded. Don't ask for it." They take extra care of us, but just ask them not to target us, I think this donation is very worthwhile.”
This businessman is none other than the shopkeeper of Spring Breeze Ten Miles, Gu Yiyuan.
Although Gu Ji had already left Beijing, the last thing he did before leaving Beijing was to donate 30 hectares of land to the charity foundation, and let Gu Yiyuan be the representative.
Their family still hopes to expand the influence of the charity foundation in the court so that Gu Ji can return to Bianliang, Tokyo in the future.
Gu Yiyuan's words also got the approval of some businessmen.
Anyway, the money has to be donated if not donated. Donate to the poor, that is meat buns beating dogs. It is worthless. It is better to donate to officials. Out of ten, only one is willing to give them something in return. It's all worth it.
Ma Tianhao said carelessly: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk too much, let's think about how to do this well, so that it is in our best interest."
Everyone looked at Zhang Fei in unison.
In this kind of matter, they don't dare to make decisions on their own. Since Zhang Fei came up with the idea, they still let Zhang Fei take the lead.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I believe you have also heard about some changes in the School of Mathematical Sciences and the School of Law recently."
Everyone nodded slightly.
"This change is more conducive to the donation of our charitable foundation."
Zhang Fei said: "Because there is one very important point, that is, no matter the School of Law or the School of Mathematical Sciences, they will recruit students for the common people. However, many common people students come from poor backgrounds.
This will make the donation of our charitable foundation more meaningful. My idea is, based on the examination scores of the School of Mathematics and the School of Law as a standard, I plan to select ten poor family members with excellent grades from each of the three homes, and give 20 living allowances every year. Two hundred strings. After three years, the annual expenditure will reach 600 guan. "
According to Wang Anshi's system, only one dormitory will be set up in the first year, and those who pass the exam will be promoted. At that time, the Dasong Charity Foundation will select ten according to the results of this exam and overall performance student.
Chen Maoqian said worriedly: "I heard that the School of Mathematical Sciences will recruit 2,000 students, so we will donate 10 students. Will the Guozijian Council be dissatisfied?"
The most worrying thing about this kind of thing is doing bad things with good intentions.
Don't give money, but failed to please.
Zhang Fei said: "The standard is set at 2,000 people, but this year I will definitely not be able to recruit so many people. My budget is that in the first year I will donate 600 guan to the Imperial College, and in the second year it will reach 1,000 guan. In the third year, it reached 1,400. Afterwards, we will make an evaluation based on the income of our charitable foundation, whether it is charity or not, we should do what we can."
Huang Can said worriedly: "This kind of thing should be able to do according to one's ability."
This is donated to the imperial court, not to the common people. Mostly, it can only be increased, not decreased.
Zhang Fei hehe said: "I hope you don't do what you can."
"How do you say that?" Huang Can asked immediately.
Zhang Fei sighed: "Three years later, if we want to do what we can, we should not donate a few thousand to it, it's better to keep a low profile!"
"Haha.!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Ma Tianhao suddenly asked: "That's right! How will the selection be made then?"
Zhang Fei said: "We will have to discuss this with the school at that time, but what is currently agreed is that the school will provide us with a report card, or we will ask ourselves. Our responsibility is to evaluate The authenticity of this achievement.”
Fan Yong asked curiously: "How to evaluate this? Not to mention that we don't understand, even if we understand, this is also something that offends people!"
Gu Yiyuan also nodded and said: "Things in the officialdom are very complicated. It doesn't necessarily mean that those with excellent grades will become officials, this."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I'd be happy to buy this debt, but the question is, can I afford it?"
Everyone was silent.
Their charitable funds come from profits, and it’s okay to use them as scholarships. If they are used for political bribery, it will be ten times less.
Zhang Fei said again: "Therefore, I think that the rules should be set first, and everything should be done according to the rules, so that there will be no complaints."
Chen Maoqian said: "Sanlang, then you have to make a good rule, it's best to find out everything, don't make the imitation ambiguous, that's the most troublesome thing."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I know, I will pay attention to it."
At this moment, Fan Zheng walked in quickly and whispered something in Zhang Fei's ear.
Zhang Fei was surprised: "So fast?"
Fan Zheng nodded.
"What an honest person!"
Zhang Fei chuckled, stood up again, and said to everyone: "Sorry, I have something to deal with, please discuss it with Da Lang first. Excuse me."
After finishing speaking, he went out of the lobby, passed through the corridor, and came to the lounge next to him.
"Third brother, you are here!"
I saw Ma Xiaoyi walking over.
Zhang Fei nodded and asked again: "Isn't the Yamen here?"
Ma Xiaoyi said awkwardly: "My brother is teaching others to practice."
Zhang Fei chuckled and entered the room together with him.
But I saw an official sitting inside.
This person is the prime minister of the Sansi Zhou case, named Liang Shaodong. Since he was promoted from an official to an official and has excellent skills, Cao Ping asked him to be in charge of providing weapons research and development for the police station.
"Zhang San met Liang Cheng."
"Be polite! Be polite!"
Liang Shaodong got up and returned a salute.
Although Zhang Fei is still an Er Bi, to them, he is the God of Wealth, so he is naturally treated with courtesy.
Zhang Fei hurriedly asked: "Liang Cheng, I heard that the Zhou case has developed a weapon for the police."
"Yes, yes."
"Yes."
Liang Shaodong hurriedly opened the wooden box on the table, and took out the upper layer, and saw two weapons inside, one long and the other short, the long one looked like a sword without an edge, and it had a handle like a stick , and the short one, which Zhang Fei knew was the steel fork used by the third child of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
"Little Ma, how do you feel?"
Zhang Fei turned to look at Ma Xiaoyi.
Ma Xiaoyi picked up the two steel forks, "This iron ruler is quite suitable for us policemen. It is easy to carry, and it can parry weapons. It is both offensive and defensive, but it is easy to use and it is not easy to hurt people. Third brother, why don't you take it?" Pick up the thin stick, let's have a competition, and I will demonstrate it to you."
As he spoke, he started making gestures.
"No! No!"
Zhang Fei quickly took a few steps back, "I don't know martial arts, what are you doing with me, I will find your brother to practice later."
"Third Brother, don't be afraid, I won't hurt Third Brother." Ma Xiaoyi chuckled, and with a flick of his fingers, the two steel forks twirled several times between his fingers, and then inserted them into his belt.
This set of movements is really flowing.
"It was fun!" Zhang Fei said with a smile.
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Third brother, don't you believe me, I can command any weapon."
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are very satisfied with this."
Ma Xiaoyi nodded.
Zhang Fei asked again: "Where is this thin stick?"
Ma Xiaoyi said: "It's not bad, but I still prefer this iron ruler."
Zhang Fei thought of Liang Shaodong again and said: "Liang Cheng, I really didn't expect that your third division case is so powerful. In just a few days, you can develop such a handy weapon. I wanted to donate more money to you guys." of."
Liang Shaodong originally wanted to say a few words of humility, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he suddenly became dumbfounded.
They are so active because they want to get some donations from Zhang Fei.
Usually working for the imperial court, you can procrastinate as long as you can, try your best to be lazy, anyway, if you do more or less, the money you get is not too much, but working for the Song Dynasty Charity Fund, everyone works hard Think, just want to fight for a little more charity.
But at this time, Liang Shaodong felt that it shouldn't be so fast. After this research and development, there is nothing to do, and there is no money.
This is embarrassing!
A smile flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes, and he suddenly said: "Actually, personally, I am not very satisfied with this weapon."
I change it! I am willing to change! I am willing to change it for as long as I want! Liang Shaodong hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, Saburo, in fact, this is just a style. I'll let you have a look. We will have to take it back and perfect it."
Ma Xiaoyi said: "I think this is pretty good, and there is nothing to improve."
Liang Shaodong wished he could kick this kid out.
This guy is also smart. He suddenly realized that the key to research and development is to take out a little bit to arouse people's interest, so that everyone will continue to invest money, and it will be over in a while, and it will be over!
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I agree with what Xiao Ma said, there is nothing perfect about this weapon."
Liang Shaodong asked suspiciously: "What does Saburo mean?"
Zhang Fei said: "The truth is that the sword has no eyes. These two weapons cannot guarantee that our police will have an absolute advantage. The other party may also use a weapon that restrains this weapon."
Ma Xiaoyi was puzzled and said: "Third Brother, you don't know weapons. There will always be mutual restraint between these weapons."
Zhang Fei said: "Then what's the point of our donation? I hope to develop a weapon that criminals can't get, and only us police have. At the same time, our weapons are absolutely valuable, and we can defeat others without fighting." , you can scare the other party by taking it out."
Ma Xiaoyi scratched his head and said, "Is there such a weapon?"
Zhang Fei turned to Liang Shaodong and asked, "Liang Cheng, is there any?"
Liang Shaodong was racking his brains, thinking hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Yes!"
Zhang Fei asked: "What weapon?"
"Firearms."
Liang Shaodong said excitedly: "This firearm is exclusive to our imperial court, it is impossible for ordinary thieves to have it."
Ma Xiaoyi retorted: "Those thieves don't use firearms, that's because firearms are useless to them, even on the battlefield, they are not very useful, not as good as iron rulers."
Liang Shaodong's mind was spinning, "We can think of a way to create a firearm that is convenient for the police to use, and can kill and injure thieves at a long distance, so that they dare not act rashly."
"Interesting!"
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "In two days, I will ask someone to allocate two hundred guan to you first, of which 100 guan will be used as a reward for this iron ruler, and the other 100 guan will be used for your research and development of firearms. As you said, I will increase my donation."
Liang Shaodong was elated when he heard it, and nodded quickly: "Sanlang, please rest assured, we will definitely be able to develop it."
What he said just now was pure bragging. The current gunpowder is used on bows and arrows, purely to scare people. The most awesome thing is to send some small stones into the fireworks.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei immediately agreed to allocate the money.
Too much!
Totally understood!
This firearm is a cornucopia!
This funding should not last ten years, it will never stop.
