Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 340: Graduation certificate

Chapter 340 Diploma

No matter what, Guozijian can be regarded as the number one school in the Song Dynasty. Those who can go to Guozijian to teach are definitely not ordinary people, not to mention the size of the official position, but at least they can convince the public in terms of knowledge.

Zhang Fei is pure and pure, and he really wants nothing. He went to the Imperial College to give lectures, which was unimaginable before.

This Yan Jidao is also a student from the Imperial Academy, so of course he is curious and hopes to go back to his alma mater to see it.

Even Xu Zhiqian thought it was a bit funny. After Yan Jidao left, she said anxiously: "Daddy, I...I also want to go and see how Zhang San teaches."

Xu Zun immediately glared at her, "Nonsense."

Xu Zhiqian secretly stuck out her tongue.

Zhang Fei glanced at her in embarrassment, and couldn't help complaining: "This Bachelor Sima is really serious. At the beginning, he said that I would share my experience in litigation, but he was fine. He just said that I was going to give lectures. This is not for me." Do you want to trouble me?"

Xu Zun said hehe: "You asked for this too!"

Zhang Fei was astonished and said, "What does father-in-law say?"

Xu Zundao: "Your charitable foundation has made such a fuss, and the government and the opposition are all very concerned about this academic dispute, but in fact they are not fighting for academic knowledge, but their own ruling ideas, so the competition is very fierce. Every day It was from the Chuigong Hall to the Zhengshitang, and then to the establishment of the Regulations Division of the Second Government, the Judgment Court, and the Dali Temple.”

Originally, as soon as the new policy came out, innovation and conservatism were in a tit-for-tat confrontation. Seeing that a storm of party struggle was about to begin, Zhang Fei interrupted it and turned it into a competition, and it was an education competition. This is the favorite of literati.

Both sides began to compete for this educational resource.

Of course, this is also related to Sima Guang's strategic layout. Since Zhao Xu showed a firm support for Wang Anshi, and Wang Anshi is in the capital, it is actually very difficult to counterattack in the capital. With Fan Chunren, Su Shi's departure from Beijing, this power struggle began to focus on the local area.

But the final decision-making body is in the capital after all, and it is also a place where literati must contend, so it is better to hold educational competitions here.

Whoever's idea is more popular will win the future.

Zhang Fei laughed at himself and said, "So invite me to give lectures?"

Xu Zundao: "As far as I know, Sima Junshi is very optimistic about you. He has already told the Imperial Academy that he wants to invite you to be a teacher."

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Fei looked shocked, "I didn't agree to be a teacher, I just took the time to communicate, that's all."

Xu Zun frowned and said, "I don't know about that either."

Zhang Fei said thoughtfully: "It's not that Bachelor Sima wants to use me as a gimmick to attract everyone's attention."

Xu Zun murmured for a while, "Maybe it's true. If he said that, then the law academy has indeed attracted the attention of many people, and there will definitely be many people to see it."

"Are you kidding me?" Zhang Fei added.

Xu Zun laughed a few times, "You said it yourself, people are not frivolous and waste young people, since Sima Junshi strongly recommends you, what are you afraid of."

This is Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

Sima Guang came to the Zhang family suddenly.

"Zhang San met Bachelor Sima."

"Free gift!"

Sima Guang bowed his hand to Xu Zungong again, "Zhongtu is here too!"

Xu Zun smiled and nodded, then stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down!"

Don't talk about Gao Wenyin this time, even Xu Zhiqian has to obediently stand aside.

After Sima Guang sat down, he smiled at Zhang Fei and said, "Zhang San, you are really hard to find now. The old man wandered around for a while before I knew you were home."

"I've been very busy recently." Zhang Fei smiled coyly, and said again: "Maybe I can't go to the Imperial College to share my experience."

Sima Guang stared, "That's not okay, I've already made an appointment here, and you will go to the Imperial College to teach on the first day of next month."

".!"

Zhang Fei said depressedly: "Scholar Sima, what we discussed at the beginning was not to give lectures, but to share experience. What can I do to give lectures at the Imperial Academy? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

Sima Guangdao: "It was agreed at the beginning, but now the tutorials of the law school are drawn up by you. If you don't help, then I don't know where to start, so I have already planned to appoint you Be my teaching assistant in the Mathematical Academy.”

"TA?"

Xu Zun's father and daughter said in unison.

Zhang Fei asked: "Father-in-law, Zhiqian, what is a teaching assistant?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "Teaching assistants can be considered as officials, they are lowered from the ninth rank."

It was only then that Zhang Fei realized that Sima Guang wanted to use this to draw him to his side.

It's not easy for him to refuse, after all, that's his plan, and he said awkwardly: "Scholar Sima, I'm kind enough to help you draw up a tutorial, you're welcome."

Sima Guang snorted: "I recommend you to be an official, isn't this a reward?"

It must be a process for ordinary people to become an official, step by step. Sima Guang thought that the Guozijian would show Zhang Fei's ability first, and then be transferred to the local government.

Zhang Fei also understood, and said embarrassingly: "But I'm not very knowledgeable, I'm afraid I can't be qualified for the position of teaching assistant."

Change to another idle official and let me hang around and plate a layer of gold.

Don't you understand such a simple political method, the teacher of the Imperial College, it is too difficult.

Sima Guang waved his hand and said: "You can talk eloquently in front of Han Xianggong and Fu Gong, but you are afraid of those young brats."

Zhang Fei said excitedly: "Scholar Sima, I'm only in my twenties, and I haven't done anything!"

Xu Zhiqian and Gao Wenyin silently lowered their heads, their shoulders shrugged slightly.

"Okay, okay, don't be modest, I'm not here today to talk to you about this matter." Sima Guang waved his hand.

He is really full of confidence in Zhang Fei when it comes to giving lectures. He has personally experienced this kid's eloquence, and Fan Chunren has been instructed before, so there is no problem at all.

Am I so humble? I’m afraid of trouble. There’s no way this intellectual dispute will come to a conclusion. He will be laughed at again, this old man himself knows how to keep a low profile, and always let others make a high profile, hateful...

Holding back his complaints, Zhang Fei asked, "I don't know if Bachelor Sima can ask me for advice."

Sima Guang said seriously: "I came to you today to ask you for advice on how to build this law school."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Zun was dumbfounded.

This is really outrageous one by one.

Yan Jidao took Yan Shu's words and came to Zhang Fei for advice, which was already hard for people to understand, but now Sima Guang came to Zhang Fei for advice on building a school.

This..

Xu Zhiqian couldn't hold back any longer, "Uncle Sima, Zhang San himself has never been to any school, how can he know how to build a school."

Share your litigation skills, which makes sense, Zhang Fei is also looking for the construction of the academy.

It's outrageous and a little too much.

Sima Guang said with a chuckle: "Qian'er, you really underestimate your future husband. The tutorials in the law academy were drawn up by your husband. How could he not understand."

Speaking, he looked at Zhang Fei again, "Zhang San, what do you think?"

Zhang Fei laughed a few times, "Scholar Sima, I said at the time that this tutorial is based on my experience in litigation, but I don't have much experience in building a school."

Sima Guang hehe said: "It's okay, it's okay, just tell me what you think, I'll listen to it first, and choose the best."

It seems that this old man is relying on me. Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang with some doubts.

Your Sima Guang's ability to build a school is also used to ask others for advice.

Xu Zun suddenly stroked his beard and smiled.

Sima Guang glanced at him with embarrassment on his face.

Zhang Fei hurriedly asked: "Why is my father-in-law laughing?"

"Nothing."

Xu Zun shook his head.

Sima Guang said embarrassingly: "After all, I still haven't hidden Zhongtu!"

Speaking, he said to Zhang Fei: "To tell you the truth, Wang Jiefu has set up three house methods for the School of Mathematical Sciences, but I don't want to be like him."

Wang Anshi had been thinking about education reform for a long time, so as soon as the school of mathematics was approved, he immediately resorted to his own method, and even bypassed the imperial examination to obtain scholars.

This forced Sima Guang to do so, but Sima Guang didn't have a specific plan. His education reform still inherited Fan Zhongyan's thinking and focused on practice.

But the problem is that Fan Zhongyan did not want to bypass the imperial examination to obtain a scholar.

After thinking about it, if you want to bypass the imperial examination, the three-shelf method seems to be very good, but he doesn't want to learn from Wang Anshi, not only him, but many conservatives are unwilling.

There is already a competitive relationship, and your method is directly using the other party's gains. Isn't this a loss at the starting point?

It suddenly occurred to Sima Guang that Zhang Fei's drafted tutorial was very novel and in line with his ideas, so why not come and ask him for his opinion.

It was only then that Zhang Fei came to his senses, but when he thought about it carefully, Wang Anshi's three-shelf method was already a class system in the true sense. An integral part of the official selection system, this is a concept that is far ahead of the times. Let him think about it, he is also the same way, the most is to turn three years into four years.

But Zhang Fei is really thinking carefully, because education is also very important to him.

He set up this charitable foundation for the purpose of infiltrating education, not making wedding dresses for others.

Sima Guang didn't bother him either, but waited quietly beside him.

After a while, Zhang Fei suddenly said: "According to Wang Xueshi's three-house method, there are 2,000 people in the outer house, 300 people in the inner house, and 100 people in the upper house."

Sima Guang nodded, "Exactly."

Zhang Fei asked: "Why is the number gradually decreasing?"

Without waiting for Sima Guang to speak, Xu Zhiqian said: "Only in this way can we select talents to serve our country."

Sima Guang nodded: "Zhiqian is right."

Zhang Fei asked: "Then according to the law of Sanshe, there will be at most one hundred people who will eventually enter the court as officials. Why should the remaining 1,900 people go?"

Sima Guang stroked his beard and said: "Naturally, we should continue to work hard, just like the imperial examination. If you fail the exam once, you will go back and continue studying hard, and then take the exam again."

Zhang Fei said: "Then what if you can't pass the exam all the time?"

"That."

Sima Guang said embarrassingly, "There is no other way."

Zhang Fei immediately said: "However, the fact is that most people do not pass the exam, and these people will be eliminated. It can be seen that Wang Xueshi's Sanshe method, although it opens the door to the entrance, is to open the Guozijian to the common people. But the exit has not been changed, it is still too narrow. If Bachelor Sima wants to go beyond the Sanshe method, he must open the door of exit."

Xu Zun frowned and said, "There is already a phenomenon of redundant officials in the court. If the door is opened, it will further aggravate the phenomenon of redundant officials."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "My father-in-law's words are wrong. As the saying goes, if you are good, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be good for yourself. However, education in our dynasty is often only responsible for being good. By self-cultivation and struggle, education does not give any support.”

Sima Guang was also confused when he heard it, "If you are poor, you should be alone. You should rely on self-cultivation and struggle, otherwise what is being alone?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "But education can support self-sufficiency."

Sima Guang asked: "How can education support self-care?"

"Graduation Certificate."

"Graduation certificate?"

Sima Guang opened his eyes and was confused.

"Exactly."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Anyone who has passed the academic qualifications will be issued a graduation certificate. As for whether to become an official or not, it is up to one's own choice. The Imperial College can set another exam here. If you want to be an official, you can take the exam." , Those who pass the test will become officials."

Xu Zhiqian asked curiously, "But who doesn't want to be an official?"

"Me!"

Zhang Fei said.

".!"

Xu Zhiqian was speechless.

This is an ironclad fact.

Zhang Fei said again: "Although there are very, very few people like me, the court can only accommodate so many people, and there are still a large number of people who cannot enter the court as officials. But then again, Is it impossible to realize self-worth if you don’t become an official in the court? Not so.

They can become Da Er pens and earn a lot of money, they can also become legal aid, plead for the people, and even go to the police station to do things. They can realize their self-worth from other places. If everyone can take care of themselves, the country will also be Can live in peace for a long time.

The role of the graduation certificate is to prove their academic qualifications and ability, so that they can be more calm and independent, and choose a career more freely, which is recognized by everyone.

In this way, it is possible to guide talents, make the best use of people and things, and alleviate the phenomenon of redundant officials from the side. "
