Outside Chang 'an City.
The atmosphere was deadlocked.
Lu Zhi and Huangfu Li had complicated expressions.
The civil and military officials of the Northern Liang looked calm.
They knew that if Lu Zhi entered the Northern Liang Prefecture, the Northern Liang would definitely make a move.
However, Lu Zhi was loyal to the Great Han Dynasty. They only had Beiliang in their hearts. If they didn't pay anything, why should they make Beiliang worry?
"Lu Shuai!"
Huangfu Li's expression was gloomy.”
Lu Zhi trembled and said resolutely," No need. What they are doing is not wrong. I am just a mortal. What right do I have to alarm the officials of the Northern Liang? Since I have to choose a path, I will go to Guzang and build Daxing Academy!"”
"Please!"
Xun Yu took a few steps back.
Du Xi, Xun You, Yan Zhong, Gu Yong, and the others all stepped aside.
The civil and military officials of the Northern Liang surrounded him and formed a path that led straight into Chang 'an Fortress.
"Swoosh!"
Lu Zhi took out a roll of bamboo slips from the carriage.
His footsteps were heavy and his back was bleak as he walked into Chang 'an Fortress.
"Hey!"
Wang Yue sighed and said," He shouldn't be like this. He studied under Ma Rong and was the senior brother of Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, and Hua Xin. After he was recruited by Grand Commandant Chen Qiu, he fought in all directions as a green-robed man. After decades of panic, he finally entered the Northern Liang Prefecture!”
Xun Yu said in a deep voice," This is his choice, and it is also something he can do. The moment I stepped out of Luoyang City, I understood why General Yan was unwilling to enter Luoyang as an official. That city is a place where one's will and bones are broken. Entering it is a waste!”
"Let's go!"
Jia Xu said in a deep voice.
Everyone entered the city.
Not long after, they gathered in the Northern Liang Prefecture.
At this moment, Yan Chuan was looking at the household register, population, and fertile land.
"Stomp!"
"Stomp!"
"Lu Zigan greets General Yan!" Lu Zhi said in a daze as he entered the hall.”
Yan Chuan closed the household register and said in a deep voice," There are 120,000 households and 510,000 people in the Three Ancestors. Every citizen will be given a few acres of fertile land, and they will no longer be tenants. Once they have food in their homes, they can send it to Daxing Academy and become reserve officials in the Three Ancestors. Even if they can't become officials in the future, they can still go to other places to build academies and dormitories. Teacher Lu will not regret his choice!”
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Zhi bowed.
Yan Chuan said in a deep voice," Liu Bian has been deposed. Dong Zhuo supported Liu Xie to become the Emperor. From now on, he will stabilize the court and make friends far away and attack near. Commander Lu, do you want me to send troops to help the King, or do you want me to enter the court to control Dong Zhuo's power?!"”
"No!"
Lu Zhi smiled bitterly." When I first left Luoyang, I did have the idea of letting the Yan generals command all the vassals to enter the court to help the emperor. However, after entering the three auxiliary departments, I no longer have such thoughts. All the decisions are on the Yan generals themselves, and no one has the right to interfere!”
"Are you sure?"
Yan Chuan said in surprise.
Lu Zhi nodded and said in a deep voice," I'm tired. I've been an official for decades and led the army to roam the north and south of the Han Dynasty. I suddenly understand why you didn't enter the court and become an official. Instead, you chose Daxing Academy. That's because people like us can never defeat those who are greedy for power. Entering the court and becoming an official is like a moth to a flame!”
"Wang Yue!"
" Tomorrow, you will personally escort Teacher Lu to Guzang. The construction of the Great Learning Palace cannot be delayed. How many students are needed from Chang 'an?" Yan Chuan said in a deep voice.”
"Here!"
Wang Yue said respectfully.
"Guzang, also known as Daxing Academy?" Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes and asked.”
"You studied under Ma Rong, so you should know about the education system of the Han Dynasty, right?" Yan Chuan smiled faintly.”
Lu Zhi nodded and said," Most of them are private schools. The rest are the Imperial College and the Primary School. Back then, the Imperial College was controlled by Chen Fan, so the former emperor established the Hongdu School to divide the power between the Imperial College and the gentry clans. After Chen Fan died, the Imperial College collapsed in Xi Ping's year. The former emperor ordered me, Bo Xi, and the others to engrave the Imperial College's classics on stone tablets. Therefore, the Imperial College's stone scriptures outside Hongdu are also called the Xi Ping Stone Scriptures!”
"Gulp!"
Yan Chuan took a sip of tea and said lightly," From today onwards, there will be a directorate in Beiliang, Daxing Academy in Guzang, and schools in the county, town, and township. What do you think, Teacher Lu?"”
" What?!"
Lu shi rose to his feet.
"Shi Ah, recruit all the teachers of Daxing Academy into the residence. I want to reform it!" Yan Chuan said in a deep voice.”
"Here!"
Shi Ah replied.
Lu Zhi's scalp went numb." General Yan, do you know that there are so many schools? Daxing Academy doesn't have enough books at all. Even carving bamboo slips will take several years, or even decades!"”
"No rush!"
Yan Chuan leaned back in his chair.
Xun Yu, Xun You, and the others all looked indifferent, as if they had expected this.
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan, Sima Hui, and the others stepped into the Northern Liang Mansion.
"Zigan?"
"Senior Brother?"
Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan said in surprise.
Lu Zhi nodded and said," I've already resigned. I'm going to Beiliang to assist General Yan in the construction of Daxing Academy!"”
"Yan Jiang!"
Everyone bowed.
Yan Chuan knocked on the table and said in a deep voice,"The Northern Liang has been incorporated into the Three Adjudicators and has more than one million people, almost two million people. Among them, there are more than four hundred thousand children under the age of adulthood. However, there are only nearly ten thousand students in Daxing Academy, and more than seventy percent of them are from big families.”
"Has it started?"
Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui looked at each other.
Back then, when Yan Chuan went to Yingchuan and returned to Chang 'an, he had mentioned this idea. Today, he was finally going to put it into practice.
"Gongda!"
Yan Chuan said in a deep voice.
Xun You stood up and took out a piece of white paper from his bosom. He said in a deep voice,""From today onwards, Northern Liang will set up the Imperial College. Lu Zhi will be the Imperial Chancellor, in charge of teaching the students and coordinating the various university palaces!”
"Here!"
Lu Zhi said, not understanding.
Xun You continued,"Zheng Xuan is in charge of the Imperial College. He is in charge of teaching and compiling all levels of literature!”
"Here!"
Zheng Xuan replied.
"Cai Yong, the Imperial College's Director, is in charge of the supervision!" Xun You said in a deep voice.”
"Here!"
Cai Yong bowed.
Xun You looked at Sima Hui and said,"Sima Hui, you will be in charge of the official documents!"”
"Here!"
Sima Hui said helplessly,
"The Imperial College is under the jurisdiction of the Northern Liang Prefecture and does not involve itself in politics.”
"The prefecture will set up Daxing Learning Palace, the county will set up Daxing School, the county will set up Daxing School, and the township will set up Daxing Children's School!”
"Learning is from simple to difficult. All the schools under the directorate, including schools, schools, dormitories, and nursery schools, are not limited. Anyone who pays the tuition can enter. One promotion every two years.”
Xun You put away the white paper and looked at everyone.""Everyone, do you have any doubts?"
"What is the directorate?"
Lu Zhi's eyes were filled with confusion.
Xun You explained," The directorate is in charge of all the educational institutions in Northern Liang. It is responsible for the classification of academic grades and the promotion of students!”
"There aren't enough people!"
Lu Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Xun You said in a deep voice," There are only so many people we can use now. In the future, we can select the doctors from the Imperial College to assist you in managing the Imperial College. All the higher schools that go to various places to teach will be paid by the officials. Moreover, talents will be recruited from the higher schools from time to time to become officials. In the future, there will be no system of selecting filial piety and honesty in the Northern Liang. Only those with outstanding achievements can be promoted!”
"Understood!"
Lu Zhi's eyes gleamed." This is similar to the division of prefectures and counties. From simple to difficult, it can allow illiterate children to climb all the way to Daxing Academy. This is the real Daxing Academy. The Great Harmony of the World that Confucius Saint spoke of!”
Yan Chuan laughed at himself.”
"Phew!"
Zheng Xuan and the others let out a breath of turbid air.
The excitement and urgency in his heart were about to burst out.
Cai Yong frowned and said," Chongzhi, not to mention the compilation of the various levels of learning literature, just engraving and learning literature takes a long time. How should we deal with this matter?!"”
Yan Chuan took out a Zuo Zhuan from the table and said in a deep voice," This matter has been settled. From today onwards, all the bamboo slips of Daxing Academy will be handed over to the work officer to be printed into paper books. A Beiliang Academy will also be built in Chang 'an. All the books will be collected and students and commoners will be allowed to borrow and buy them!”
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
Cai Yong flipped through Zuo Zhuan and said in shock,""Such a clean and clean Luoyang paper must have cost a lot of money. Moreover, to copy it so neatly, it would have cost hundreds of millions of manpower and material resources.”
"Haha!"
Yan Chuan laughed.
Du Xi explained," Supervisor Cai, the cost of this thing is less than one percent of the cost of the bamboo slips. Moreover, the Engineer Cao can produce hundreds of Zuo Zhuan in a day. What you need to worry about is how to build the education system and compile the academic literature at all levels. Leave the rest to the Engineer Cao!”
"Gulp!"
Yan Chuan took a sip of tea and smiled." Within ten days, you will decide on the four grades of literature to deal with the four grades of schools. The students will be divided into four grades: children, young students, university students, and high school students. You can enter the Imperial College and become a doctor. You can also help the Imperial College organize education and become an official in the Northern Liang Prefecture!“
"Here!"
Everyone shouted.
Yan Chuan narrowed his eyes and said," If that's the case, I won't keep you. We don't have much time left, so we should quickly discuss and come up with a set of rules for learning literature. I'll look through it after it comes out and hand it over to the Engineer for engraving. Daxing Academy will be closed for the next ten days. The Engineer will be engraving all the bamboo slips and building the Beiliang Academy.”
"Here!"
Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, and the rest bowed and left the Northern Liang Manor.
Outside the mansion.
Lu Zhi looked in the direction of Luoyang, his eyes filled with excitement and satisfaction.
"Senior Brother!"
Zheng Xuan shouted.
Lu Zhi smiled and said," When I left Luoyang, I thought that my life was over. It was not until I entered Chang 'an that I realized that not all of the Han Dynasty was in decline. The three auxiliary areas of the Northern Liang were still green and full of vitality. The past was like smoke and clouds. From now on, there will be no General Lu of the Han Dynasty, only the Imperial Chancellor Lu Zigan!”
"That's good!"
Zheng Xuan's eyes were filled with gratification.
Northern Liang Prefecture.
In the hall.
Yan Chuan said indifferently," After the grades are out, Wang Yue, take some men and escort Lu Zhi to Guzang. He is the only one who can build the Daxing Academy in Beiliang. Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui still have important matters to deal with in Chang 'an!"”
"Here!"
Wang Yue said respectfully.
Yan Chuan turned to look at Jia Xu and said mockingly,"Wenhe, Xu Rong's army will be sent to Hongnong. Fengxian will be transferred to Hu County!”
"Yan Jiang!"
Jia Xu's scalp went numb as he said,"Both places are within the boundaries of Hongnong County!"”
Yan Chuan looked at Luoyang and said disdainfully," If it wasn't for Hongnong, I wouldn't have allowed the army to enter. I'm just giving Dong Zhuo a warning to not go too far in Luoyang. Otherwise, the Northern Liang army will march straight into Henan Magistrate and surround Luoyang!"”
"Here!"
Jia Xu said respectfully.
"Da!"
"Da!"
"Da!"
Yan Chuan knocked on the table and said in a deep voice,"How's the recruitment going?"
Jia Xu bowed and said," We have already recruited 50,000 soldiers. The Soldier Officer is currently tabulating the military register. It is estimated that it will be submitted to the Northern Liang Prefecture within three days!"”
"Yes!"
Yan Chuan nodded and said," The Great Evolution Division, the officials, and the Punishment Division must cooperate. We must investigate the officials of the three auxiliary areas in detail. This is not the Northern Liang. We must investigate what the officials did in the past and give the people an explanation!”
"Here!"
Wang Yue, Yan Zhong and Xun You replied.
"Yuan Tan!"
Yan Chuan said in a deep voice.
Gu Yong said respectfully," General Yan, the fertile land in the three auxiliary areas has been planned. By the end of winter, the local government will distribute the household registration of the people. This matter will be coordinated by the Great Evolution Department. Those who take bribes and commit fraud will be punished according to the laws of Northern Liang!”
"Very good!"
Yan Chuan nodded in satisfaction.
Wang Yue looked left and right and said with a blank expression,"There are so many things in the Great Evolution Department?"
"Haha!"
Jia Xu smiled and said," Minister Wang, when you were in charge of the Embroidered Clothing Branch, the political power of the world was in the hands of the three dukes and nine ministers, as well as countless aristocrats. Naturally, you would not be allowed to meddle in it. Therefore, you need the emperor to mobilize you. However, the Great Evolution Department is different. In order to prevent the officials of the various prefectures and counties from cheating, the six Cao will cooperate with the Great Evolution Department. After all, the more people there are, the clearer the view will be!”
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Yue's scalp went numb.
Northern Liang changed its system.
New educational institutions were built and posted in the counties.
Especially the news of Lu Zhi becoming the Imperial Chancellor, it spread in all directions within ten days.
Luoyang.
In the Grand Marshal's Mansion.
Dong Zhuo's facial features were twisted. He laughed sinisterly." Lu Zigan is such a sour scholar. He refused the imperial court's order and went to the Northern Liang to be some Imperial Chancellor. Now, he can't even interfere in the political affairs of the Northern Liang, let alone lead the army to war. What's the difference between this and exile?!"”
"My lord!"
Li Ru said in fear," Yan Chuan built schools wantonly and even divided the ranks to guide the children to learn Chinese characters. This step is not bad. He is wielding the banner of a great scholar and the sword of Confucianism. He has cut off the influence of the aristocratic families in Northern Liang and the three auxiliary areas one sword after another!”
"What do you mean?"
Dong Zhuo's pupils constricted.
"The reason why the gentry are gentry is not just because they have been officials for generations!”
" It's because they monopolized all the knowledge in the world, preventing the Humble Class disciples from advancing. They are stuck in a stage where they can only use brute force!”
"Yan Chuan is breaking the monopoly of knowledge by the aristocrats and raising the talents of the people. In the long run, everyone in Northern Liang is literate, obeys the law, and can lead the army. Who dares to call themselves aristocrats and fool the people!”Li Ru's words carried a trace of emotion and admiration.
"Wenyou," Dong Zhuo said mockingly,"all the bamboo slips in the world are in the hands of the gentry. What does he have to teach?"”
"I don't know!"
Li Ru shook his head.
Dong Zhuo laughed." The world's knowledge is like a stone. Nine buckets are in the hands of the aristocrats. Who can Yan Chongzhi defeat?"”
"Let's wait and see!"
Li Ru's eyes were filled with anticipation.
