What would happen if one or two hundred college graduates became officials every year?
More importantly, as Li Wangyou said, these people have been continuously educated in the thought of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism since childhood, and take this as their belief...
Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.
What Li Wangyou said today was something he had never thought about.
This is actually the reason why Li Wangyou only recruits Mongolian children, but not adult scholars.
After all, for those adult scholars, the Three Views have already been formed, and it is difficult to change, but Mengtong is like a blank sheet of paper.
Since ancient times in China, although it has been said to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, no one has ever taught this as a belief, let alone systematically educated it.
Zi said Chengren, Mencius said righteousness.
Scholars certainly have the pride and backbone to serve the country, and there is no shortage of heroic people who sacrificed their lives for the country in all dynasties, but this is not the same as Li Wangyou said that the education of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism starting from Mengtong was not the same.
Li Wangyou really loves Datang now, so he naturally doesn't want a character like An Lushan who will bring disaster to the country and the people to appear in a hundred years.
Although he can't control what will happen a hundred years later, he can do his best to prevent it from happening.
As long as the Datang Royal Academy can be successfully established, with the academy as an example, and then slowly and subtly influence other private schools and government schools in the Datang Dynasty, and promote patriotic education, he does not believe that a hundred years later, what kind of shit An Lushan , What else could be stirred up.
Li Er finally figured out the key point, and slapped heavily on several cases.
"Ziyou, okay, your idea is really brilliant! Let's just do it! This Tang Royal Academy must be established, and please expand the scale! From my point of view, how about enrolling a thousand children directly?"
Li Wangyou blinked, damn it, Li Er has turned into a radical.
Enroll a thousand children in school?
How much trouble does this meow have to make?
Even if there are 50 students in a class, there are only [-] classes in one grade?
But Li Wangyou didn't object, as long as he could get that person to be the vice principal, let him have a headache about everything, and he didn't care.
Thinking of this, Li Wangyou smiled at Li Er again: "Uncle, my nephew doesn't have the energy to manage this academy all the time, but this academy needs a competent person to take charge of it. I wonder if uncle has a suitable candidate?"
Where did Li Er think about this matter? Hearing what he said suddenly, he didn't have a clue for a while.
Li Wangyou went on to say: "My nephew has a suitable candidate to recommend to uncle..."
723 Senior wage earners
"Who can manage this academy for you?" Li Er asked.
Li Wangyou smiled like a fox about to steal an old hen, and uttered three words: "Xu Jingzong!"
Li Er frowned, his tone full of doubt: "Xu Jingzong? Can he do it?"
Xu Jingzong was one of the eighteen bachelors in the original Qin Palace, but Li Er didn't think much of him.
Even though Xu Jingzong assisted Li Wangyou last time to handle the matter of the three thousand resentful girls leaving the palace beautifully without any mistakes, Li Er still left Xu Jingzong in the Zongzheng Temple, in front of the idle Zongzheng Temple master Qing.
One must know that Xu Jingzong had defected to Li Er when he was still the King of Qin. One of the eighteen bachelors of the King of Qin's mansion had such a miserable life, which showed that Li Er didn't like him.
In fact, it's not that Xu Jingzong is incapable, it's mainly because Li Er has opinions on his character.
After all, in the last years of Sui Dynasty, his father Xu Shanxin was killed by Yu Wenhuaji. Xu Jingzong did really unethical things in order to survive, and he can't blame others.
The reason why Li Wangyou thought of him was naturally because he valued Xu Jingzong's ability.
You know, although Xu Jingzong was not liked by Li Er, he was talented.
Therefore, after Li Er's death, Xu Jingzong's official fortune came.
He first served as Minister of the Ministry of Rites during the period of Emperor Gaozong, and later he was promoted to Duke of the county and served as Zhongshu Ling, one of the prime ministers.
Even after his death, Emperor Gaozong mourned for him, stopped going to court for three days, and ordered civil and military officials to go to Jingzong's mansion to mourn the funeral. .
It can be seen from this that although Xu Jingzong was listed as the first traitor in "New Book of Tang. Biography of Traitors", he was a very capable person.
Another reason why Li Wangyou chose Xu Jingzong was his loyalty to Li Tang's royal family.
Although Xu Jingzong was listed as a traitor in "New Book of Tang. Biography of Traitors", he said that he tampered with the history of the country, had no way to manage his family, and framed and killed Changsun Wuji and others.
However, Li Wangyou felt that, apart from Xu Jingzong's poor character, he was actually helping that little bastard Li Zhi take the blame for things like tampering with national history and framing Changsun Wuji.
After all, didn't Li Zhi want him to do all the things Xu Jingzong did?
Uncle Changsun Wuji, if Li Zhi really valued family affection, why would he be exiled because of Xu Jingzong's false accusation?It can be seen that this is actually Li Zhi's idea.
Looking at it from another perspective, Xu Jingzong is just an old bureaucrat who worked conscientiously for the emperor, used various means, fought to the death of his political opponents, and guaranteed his own prosperity and wealth.
So Li Wangyou was not worried about using Xu Jingzong to manage the academy, he would have any bad intentions, forgive him and dare not.
As for Xu Jingzong's literary talents, his knowledge of the past and the present, as one of the eighteen bachelors of the King of Qin, he was naturally able to overwhelm those scholars in the academy.
With these three advantages, Li Wangyou naturally wanted to drag Xu Jingzong to the academy to be the vice-principal, and to be the "back-up guy" for himself.
Anyway, even if Xu Jingzong is a villain, he is also a talented villain.
What's more, the status and status of the two are completely different now. Xu Jingzong went to the academy and is just a "senior wage earner". I'm not afraid that he will mess around.
If there is any problem, now Li Wangyou can kill him in a matter of minutes.
It was precisely because of this confidence that Li Wangyou proposed to Li Er that Xu Jingzong should go to the academy.
Li Wangyou also felt that Xu Jingzong should thank himself, at least get this guy to manage the academy. In the future "New Book of Tang", Xu Jingzong's name will definitely not appear on the list of treacherous ministers again.
Li Wangyou persuaded: "Uncle, after all, Xu Jingzong was one of the [-] scholars of the Qin Palace back then, and he has been thrown in Zongzheng Temple as a young minister, which also hurts the reputation of uncle's love of talents. Why don't you send him to the academy and do it?" A deputy dean can be regarded as making the best use of everything."
Li Er thought about it, and felt that it was not impossible, so he nodded slightly to express his agreement, but then asked doubtfully: "After all, Xu Jingzong is the Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple, an official of the fourth rank in the court, do you want him to resign from his post?" I am afraid that it will not be easy to become the vice president of the academy and manage the academy? Unless Xu Jingzong himself is willing to do this, I cannot force it."
Li Wangyou said with a smile: "Uncle, since the academy is now a royal property, as the vice president of the Datang Royal Academy, it should naturally have a high rank. Why don't you make the vice president of the academy the same official as the son of the state offering wine?" How is the rank? From the official position of the third rank, then Xu Jingzong transferred to the academy, wouldn't it be equivalent to a promotion?"
"This..." Li Er hesitated, and didn't know how to answer.
Li Wangyou continued to persuade: "Uncle, the role of the Royal Academy is very important. The dean of the academy should naturally be held by the uncle. And it should be made a common practice. From now on, the dean of the Royal Academy can only be held by the emperor. In this way, the Academy All the students, naturally the Son of Heaven's disciples, have a closer relationship. In this way, since my uncle is the dean himself, and Xu Jingzong is the vice dean, it can't be regarded as humiliating him."
Attracted by his phrase "Student of the Son of Heaven", Li Er nodded frequently, thinking that Li Wangyou's idea was really good.
The ancients paid attention to the relationship between the king of heaven and earth, relatives and teachers. This master-student relationship is very special, and there is even a saying that one day is a teacher and a lifelong father.
Sometimes, even the relationship between monarch and minister, father and son may not be as strong as the relationship between master and apprentice.
If all the students of the Royal Academy are regarded as disciples of the Son of Heaven, then the benefits are self-evident.Coupled with the brainwashing education and patriotic education that Li Wangyou mentioned before, Li Er seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
