"This is the court bulletin. I prefer to call it a newspaper. I write the report on paper and publish the news and current affairs comments. It is regularly distributed to the world. The price is cheap, and even ordinary people can buy it to understand the world's affairs.”
The newspaper was an important carrier of mass communication. It could reflect and guide the function of the social fishing wheel.
Once the newspaper was published, what was the evaluation of the month?! Liu Bian did not put them in his eyes at all!
The ministers were shocked and convinced!
" Your Majesty is wise!"
"If the production cost of the newspaper is extremely low, I suggest that the first few issues of the newspaper be distributed free of charge to promote the sales of the newspaper.”
"Not only can we open up a market, but this move can also let more people in the world know about the Yuan family's filth and prove His Majesty's innocence! Let Yue Danping's reputation be ruined!"
"We racked our brains and racked our brains, but we still couldn't find a way to prove Your Majesty's innocence. I didn't expect Your Majesty to have such a plan! You really make us feel ashamed!"
" Your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers began to flatter him again. However, this time, he was not really flattering her. Instead, he was really embarrassed.
If this had been the capital, the East Chamber would have quickly arrested Liu Bian for slandering the aristocratic families. However, the thirteen prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty were vast. Now that the world was divided, how could they arrest the rumormongers?!
When everyone learned that Yue Danping had slandered Liu Bian's innocence, they were shocked and regretful, but they could not find a way. All the officials in the court had actually caused the Emperor to suffer injustice, but they were still helpless.
The subject would die for insulting the master! They were useless!
Now, His Majesty had effortlessly invented movable type printing and improved paper-making. With the ability of newspapers to guide fishing vessels, he had resolved the slander for himself.
This made all the officials in the court sweat!
If His Majesty could easily resolve this problem, then what use would he have for these civil and military officials?! Was he a freeloader?
Liu Bian didn't care about the thoughts of the officials. He ordered people to take out a few books and said indifferently,""Everyone, please watch!"
Each of the ministers received a copy of the book. They received books such as " Elementary Mathematics "," Middle School Mathematics "," University Mathematics ", as well as strange terms such as physics, chemistry, and biology!
"Your Majesty, what, what is this?" Cao Cao asked helplessly.!”
The ministers were a little embarrassed!
Why were they, the pillars of the country and the talents who governed the country, like idiots in front of His Majesty?! Completely unaware?
"I will divide the learning stages into primary school, middle school, and university. This was the textbook for students in the future, and it would also be the scope of the imperial examination.”
Liu Bian continued,""In the future, the imperial examination will be based on these textbooks. Therefore, this is a compulsory course for scholars!
"You civil and military officials also need to learn constantly. In the future, there will be cultural assessment requirements for officials. You'll live to learn!"
The officials felt their scalps explode!
What was His Majesty doing?
Education reform?
Xun Yu was shocked. He bowed and asked,""May I ask Your Majesty, what should we do with the Four Books and Five Classics?”
" Of course," Liu Bian said calmly." These are all in the category of 'Chinese.' I will recruit great scholars to write them. There are also 'History,''Geography,' and 'Military.'
"These, along with Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Nature, form dozens of courses. There are compulsory courses and elective courses.
"Primary school, middle school, university, from entry to mastery. If you want to participate in the imperial examination, you have to obtain a university graduation certificate first.”
Liu Bian treated the imperial examination as a national examination for civil servants. As for primary school, middle school, and university, it was also a kind of talent screening.
This also prevented the good and bad from coming to the imperial examination and wasting time and energy. The assessment of officials was also to avoid problems such as too many redundant staff.
The civil officials were instantly stunned on the spot!
Because according to His Majesty's intentions, the learning ethos that had once abandoned all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism and placed the Four Books and Five Classics above everything else had directly become one of the dozens of subjects,'Chinese language'?
This meant that Confucianism, which used to have a total of 100 points, had now become a 10-point subject. It was now on par with the other subjects such as Mathematics and Physics!
How could the civil officials, who had accepted Confucian ideology and learned Confucian culture, accept this?!
It was like being told that the status of the Nobel Prize would be lowered after winning it. To the previous winners, that was a huge blow!
The civil officials present wanted to remonstrate with the Emperor, but just as they were about to open their mouths, Liu Bian's unquestionable voice rang out.
"I'm only informing you, not asking you!”
At this moment, the decisive Liu Bian returned. The ministers once again recalled the iron-blooded memories of the Snowy Dragon Cavalry slaughtering more than 200,000 Western Liang soldiers in the northern suburbs.
This made the ministers shocked and they didn't dare to remonstrate.
Liu Bian's tone softened and he said lightly,""Of course, the general direction of these education reforms will remain unchanged. You can give your opinions on the details. If it was possible, he couldn't change it!”
Xun Yu sighed,"Your Majesty! Scholars all over the world have been studying hard for many years. Now that His Majesty had issued an edict to change the direction of their studies, it would make the scholars 'emotions surge and it would be difficult for them to accept it!”
It was like learning English for many years in the future. Suddenly, the Ministry of Education wanted to abolish the English college entrance examination. Many people could not accept it.
The students whose English grades were bad and the students whose subjects were not good naturally cheered.
However, the students with good English grades could not accept it. Those English teachers and people who worked in English could not accept it.
Millions of workers were dependent on their food and clothing, and blocking others 'money was like killing their parents. Moreover, the importance of the Confucian position in the Eastern Han Dynasty was enough to be compared to the imperial power.
This move would definitely cause social unrest, and the aristocratic families would not let go of this opportunity.
At this time, the scholars didn't need to slander Liu Bian's innocence. They would directly be furious and criticize Liu Bian!
Liu Bian naturally had his considerations. He said lightly,"
"The Six Arts of a Gentleman include etiquette, music, military riding and archery, carriage driving, calligraphy, and mathematics. As long as one wasn't a mediocre person, they would be able to quickly master it and learn other abilities.
"Moreover, I am not like them who are omniscient and omnipotent. I have compulsory courses and elective courses to prevent some talents from missing out on opportunities because of their shortcomings.
"If they can't do it, it only proves that they're mediocre. What use would the Imperial Court have for such a mediocre talent? I don't raise trash!"
The civil and military officials fell silent!
If they were possessed by the Spirit of Rivalry, they would definitely be able to defeat Liu Bian with their eloquence!
However, Liu Bian's Snow Dragon Cavalry would not listen to their nonsense!
Every reform would lead to a bloody storm. Liu Bian's education reform this time would definitely stir up a storm of emotions!
But would Liu Bian care? Not at all!
If the Great Han Dynasty wanted to live on for a long time, Confucianism alone would not be able to last for thousands of generations. Only by learning mathematics, physics, and chemistry well would he not be afraid of traveling the world!
Cao Cao looked a little embarrassed. He recalled the education level of the direct descendants of the Cao and Xiahou families. Did those uneducated people know anything about mathematics, physics, and chemistry?
"Your Majesty, does the general examination also require a cultural test?" Cao Cao asked helplessly.”
"Generals are mainly tested for military martial arts. It's best to choose mathematics, physics, and chemistry as well.”
Liu Bian glanced at Cao Cao and said lightly,"There is no need to say much about the level of martial arts." There was no doubt about the military, right? If he hadn't even read Sun Tzu's Art of War and other military books, how could he dare to call himself a general?
"In terms of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, it also allows generals to prepare their troops and horses so that they won't be unable to do mathematics. They can also help with weather and climate change through physical changes. As the saying goes, the right time, the right place, and the right people. This was also the ability to become a general!”
Cao Cao relaxed slightly. Martial arts and military books were the basic qualities of a general. Even the uncouth elders of the Cao and Xiahou Clans were familiar with military books.
Mathematics, physics, and chemistry were a little difficult, but when Cao Cao flipped open his middle school textbooks and found that they were all mathematical problems such as " chicken and rabbit in the same cage ", he instantly felt much more at ease.
Seeing that none of the officials had any objections, Liu Bian said firmly,"
"Since all the beloved ministers have acquiesced, then it's settled! We'll start with the Imperial College. Zhen believes that the Great Han Dynasty is full of talents and will be able to adapt to these studies very quickly.
"It is best to let the talents recommended by the beloved ministers look at mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Although the first imperial examination will not test too deeply, it will still involve some things.
"Oh right, Shen Lian! Has the Jinyiwei finished recruiting talents from all over the country?”
Shen Lian felt his scalp tingle. He braced himself and stepped forward,""Your Majesty, it's almost over. The Embroidered Uniform Guards have already contacted the talents recommended by everyone and the talents recommended by Your Majesty.”
"I hope to see the results within a month!”"Once these talents gather in the capital, we'll begin the assessment!" Liu Bian nodded.”
Why didn't Liu Bian take the initiative to send troops against Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu? Because he was short of manpower, promoting talents was also an urgent matter!
"I, I will obey!" Shen Lian braced himself.
