In history, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, had planted a hidden danger for the Great Qin Dynasty because of his own conceit. Now that he knew, he naturally had to correct it. Moreover, through the system, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, also knew that this world was far more vast and mysterious than he had imagined. He did not have the right to be conceited!!
Xianyang Palace, Qilin Palace.
Xiao He said," Your Majesty, we have enough books now, and Great Qin is in dire need of talents to manage it. I believe that Your Majesty should establish the Great Qin Academy to enlighten the next generation of Great Qin.。”
After Xiao He said that, Li Si added,""Your Majesty, I think Xiao He is right. In the past, he did not have enough books. Now that he had them, the matter of enlightenment could not be delayed.”
Wang Jian: " Your Majesty, back then, the people of the six countries all said that the Qin country was a barbarian. Most of the people in the Qin country were illiterate and looked down on the Qin people. Now, the printing of books was in Great Qin's hands. It was also time to raise the cultural level of the people of Qin and let those people see that the people of Qin were not inferior to anyone!!”
In the words of the later generations, thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, don't bully the poor!!
Today you ignore me, tomorrow I will make you unworthy!!
I want to slap your face!
Wei Liao said,"Your Majesty, Great Qin has been fighting for many years, and now is the time to recuperate." At this moment, it was most important for Great Qin's residents to have enough food and clothing, and to be able to read and write.”
What the people wanted the most was to eat and wear warm clothes. Now that there were potatoes, it was not a problem to eat. Wearing warm clothes was not something that could be solved in a short period of time. After that was enlightenment.
There was once a famous person in the future who said," Books were the ladder of human progress. He could not solve the problem of wearing warm clothes for the time being, but the literacy campaign could indeed begin!!
One had to know that the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period had been waging war for years, and the people were already exhausted. Therefore, the most important thing now was to recuperate and let the commoners have a buffer period. To let them eat and wear warm clothes was the most basic need of the people. If they could learn to read and write on this basis, that would be even better!!
After all, the commoners did not care who was the emperor. They only cared about their own lives. To them, an emperor who could feed them and give them warmth was a good emperor! As for the orthodoxy, they didn't care at all!!
People from Qin, Qi, Wei, as long as they could eat their fill, people from any country would do!!
In truth, the people who opposed Great Qin were not the people who were dissatisfied with Great Qin, but the nobles of the six countries. On the contrary, the commoners did not dislike Great Qin. After all, the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period had been at war for so many years. Now that Great Qin had been unified, there was no need to fight anymore. They no longer had to wander and live in fear. Then how could he reject it? He couldn't be happier!!
Under such circumstances, if Great Qin could provide them with food, clothing, and education, then these commoners would become Great Qin's most loyal supporters! After recruiting these people, the remnants of the six dynasties would not be able to cause any waves!! Because no one would support them anymore!!
Chen Ping replied," Your Majesty, most of Great Qin's officials come from the Clans. It's not because they are powerful, but because the Clans have the most scholars. However, the Clans were all connected, which was not beneficial for His Majesty to rule Great Qin.”
"I believe that the Great Qin Academy is indispensable. It would be best if the next generation of Great Qin could enter the Great Qin Academy to study. That way, not only would the Emperor not lack talents in the future, but more importantly, the students from the Humble Class would be even more loyal to the Emperor.”
"Your Majesty, it's not that the common people are not smart. It's just that they don't have the chance to study. There were also many capable people in the Humble Class. They just lacked an opportunity.”
Han Xin, Chen Ping, and the others were considered Humble Class students. They also wanted to be successful and famous, but if not for that system, who knew how long it would take for them to stand out?!
There were not many people like them, but it was definitely not just the few of them! They were just lucky.
The Great Qin Academy was equivalent to a public school in the future, and it was incredibly important to Great Qin's future development!!
After all, the development of human society was inseparable from culture and education.
There was no such public school in the past. There were only some private schools and some " private tutors." Ordinary people could not afford to study at all, nor did they have the opportunity to study!!
That was because, firstly, the clans controlled the spread of culture. They did not want the people at the bottom to rise up and threaten their status. Secondly, books were precious and expensive, and they could not be mass-produced. This led to a situation where there were more people than books. Thirdly, they had been at war for the past few years. Food and clothing had become a problem. Where did they find the time to read and write?!
In that era, there was no way to make the people literate!!
However, things were different now.
With the Art of Paper Making and the Art of Print, he could have as many books as he wanted. Books would no longer be expensive. The world was no longer at war, and the lives of the people were guaranteed. At this time, opening the Great Qin Academy to educate the people of Great Qin was the most suitable!!
As for those clans that were in the way, there was no need to worry. With Qin Shihuang around, they couldn't overturn the heavens!!
Qin Emperor Ying Zheng also understood the importance of the Great Qin Academy, so he said,""Meng Tian, you will be responsible for the construction of the Great Qin Academy. Every county in Great Qin's territory must have at least three Great Qin Academies. I want all of Great Qin's citizens to be literate.”
"Here."
"Li Si, I'll give you another seven days to organize the unified text and hand it to Meng Yi.”
"Here."
"Meng Yi, get someone to start carving immediately after you get the text. In a month, I want to see a thousand sets of finished products.”
"Here."
" I'll hand over the enlightenment books after the Great Qin Academy recruits students to Mr. Wei Liao, Old General Wang, Li Si, Xiao He, and Chen Ping. The five of you will compile them."”
Enlightenment books were only the most basic ones for enlightenment. Later on, there would be some books from the Hundred Schools of Philosophy for teaching. As for the specifics, it depended on which ones were useful!!
"Here." Wei Liao, Xiao He, and the others said in unison.
"Your Majesty, the teaching staff of the Great Qin Academy."
Wei Liao replied,[Your Majesty, the teaching staff can be chosen from the Hundred Schools of Philosophy that have joined Great Qin.] After all, this was a good way to promote their academics. They wouldn't reject it.”
Meng Yi: " Yeah, don't worry about that. Even if those guys rack their brains, they'll probably want to teach and promote their own sect."”
"These people are free labor.”
"Yes, we can use those people." However, the books taught by the Great Qin Academy had to be designated by the Imperial Court and approved by the Scholar's Residence. Meng Yi, you have to grasp this well.”
"I understand."
" Next year, I want to see the Great Qin Academy start recruiting students as usual.”
Wei Liao, Li Si, Meng Tian, Wang Jian, and Xiao He all said in unison,""We will definitely not let Your Majesty down!”
The matter of the Great Qin Academy was settled. After Meng Tian finished building the academy, Meng Yi would print the introductory textbooks compiled by Wei Liao and the others. Then, he would call the people from the Hundred Schools of Philosophy and they could start the lessons!!
