"It's completely abandoned!" Li Ze shook his head at the gate of the Imperial College and looked at the broken and collapsed archway and the door full of holes.

Today, the snow is particularly heavy and the wind is strong. The wind passes through the holes and makes a whimpering sound.

"It has been abandoned for a long time." Zhang Hui said with a wry smile: "When I left, there were still some grants every year. Later, I was afraid that there was no one there. The teachers and students in the prison were scattered. Later, Zhu Wen entered Chang'an, and war continued. Even if Zhu Wen wanted to rebuild the Imperial College to win people's hearts, how could he have this time and this money?"

"Go back to your hometown and be hurt when you see something?" Li Ze asked with a smile.

"That's not!" Zhang Hui was excited: "Now that I'm back, I will naturally restore him to his peak, and make this place the most longed for by students in the world."

"But he is no longer the Imperial College!"

"It's the Tang Dynasty University of Political Science and Economics!" Zhang Hui smiled.

"Go in and take a look!" Li Ze said: "Look at how your students have cleaned up inside?"

These are the first students from the School of Political Science and Economics of Wuwei Academy to arrive.

After taking Chang'an, these people packed their bags and came from Wuyi to Chang'an. Because before attacking Chang'an, the Wuwei Academy branch had already formed a resolution. For example, the School of Political Science and Economics would move to Chang'an, and the original Imperial College was their new campus.

The group kept walking around the ruins and walked inside. The place was indeed large. In a densely populated place like Chang'an, there was such a large area as a place for learning. It is said that the rulers of the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to education and knowledge.

But one thing has to be said that only when the country is prosperous and the people are safe will education become an industry that a country attaches great importance to, and when war comes, education seems so insignificant.

When human life is like grass and we are afraid of not having enough food to eat, we talk about knowledge only, which is unrealistic.

"No matter what, Wang Shu did a little thing in the end." Zhang replied: "At least, he guaranteed the integrity of the imperial city and the palace city, and also allowed the vast collection of books here to be preserved. It would not be destroyed as worthless things."

"Well, he did a good job in this regard. No matter what, he has been a priest for many years, so he still has this knowledge." Li Ze said.

"So Li Xiang, I still want to make love for him. I will hit a wooden bell here." Zhang Hui stopped and said.

"He asked for your door!"

"He was panicked!" Zhang replied: "I went to my mansion yesterday. I completely lost the demeanor he deserved, and cried bitterly, making people feel ugly, but it was also sad."

"Shouchun Hou was beheaded, which scared him!" Li Ze smiled.

"Can't you be scared?" Zhang replied: "After all, he is much more clever than those stupid nobles. He is willing to sacrifice all his property and only seek the lives of his family."

"What property does he have? I heard from Gao Xiangsheng that in the end, his family will be hard to even have enough food."

"Land!" Zhang replied: "Aren't you thinking about how to take back these lands? He has thousands of hectares of land in Guanzhong, and these lands are held in the hands of different people. Only he has this list. Moreover, he has millions of dollars worth of family wealth and is willing to dedicate it to Li Xiang."

"Thousands of hectares of land, millions of wealth!" Li Ze suddenly stopped.

"He has been the priest for many years! It started since the late emperor." Zhang replied: "In the end, his actions that were not covered with food and could not keep warm in the cold are probably more of a posture and a performance. Now seeing the wrong form, he will not guess with his political experience that we will settle the accounts after the autumn, so he wants to use these things to save his life."

"These things are held in the hands of different people, so he is not afraid of not coming back?" Li Ze asked with interest.

"This is where he can threaten us." Chapter replied: "We don't know who these people are. Perhaps on the surface, these people are all good people. We can't get much handle, so we naturally cannot take back the land."

"It's really hateful!" Li Ze said gritting his teeth.

"He guessed that we were short of money now, and he guessed that we needed these lands to resettle the people, reward soldiers, and even use the land to obtain money. His life is not worth much, and killing or not killing is actually meaningless. But if we get these thousands of hectares of land and the wealth he has hidden over the years, we can do more."

Li Ze thought about it, but laughed: "You are right. His life is indeed not worth these things. Tell him that if you hand over these things, I will let him go. However, the Wang clan will all leave Chang'an and go to Liaozhou, and leave it to Wang Wenshu for care!"

Chapter nodded.

"Li Xiang, these days, I have been thinking about what you said to Chen Wenliang that day. Can't you really have both talent and virtue?" Zhang Hui said with a little depressed feeling. "If you have no virtue, how can you establish yourself and make words? How can you be an example? Look at Wang Shu, does he have no talent? He has talent, does he have virtue? He has no virtue."

Li Ze reached out and caught a few falling snowflakes, pondered for a moment, "Mr. Zhang, being a human being requires virtue, but being an official is not necessarily true. For example, your morality in life is that no one can blame you, but what about being an official? Do you think you have done nothing to blame?"

"I……"

Zhang Hui was about to argue, but Li Ze raised his palm and stopped what he wanted to say, but chuckled: "For example, what I am doing now is the King of Qin..."

Zhang Hui was shocked and looked back at the two of them. Seeing Li Peng and others landing more than ten steps behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Li Xiang, this is a last resort for the sake of the world."

"There are too many unscrupulous things in life. The same is true for being an official," Li Ze said: "Sometimes, too many unscrupulous things. For individuals, morality is naturally pursued, but sometimes, when you have to sacrifice your personal morality in the face of the interests of most people, what will you choose? Should you choose to retreat and make your moral reputation complete and make sure that you are pure and pure, or will you sacrifice your reputation for the interests of most people? Let your white wall be flawed?"

Zhang Hui once again fell into a dilemma. After a while, he said: "I think I will choose the interests of most people."

"That's it!" Li Ze sighed: "We educate scholars and educate the world, which naturally requires everyone to have both talent and virtue, but when we really start to enter this complex society, we have to face choices."

Looking at the students who were busy in the cold wind and heavy snow ahead, Li Ze said: "They are full of enthusiasm now, and everyone is thinking of doing something for the country and the people. But when they truly become officials, they will experience the cruelty of this society. It is conceivable that many of them will sink, fall, some will do nothing in their lives, and some will rise up. One day, they will become one of the leaders in charge of this empire. In this process, they will face this choice constantly."

"People who are morally obsessed with cleanliness cannot be good officials." Li Ze continued: "Ordinary people can be either black or white, or clear, but officials cannot. Most of their lives, they actually wander between the two. Those who can grasp this degree are good officials."

"How did he answer the question you asked Zhang Xun?" Zhang Hui asked with a little down.

Li Ze smiled and said, "Zhang Xun said that for those who are virtuous but not talented, they can be supervisory officials, and they can be academic officials who teach and educate people, but they must not be allowed to rule the country but be close to the people. And for those who have outstanding talents but have problems with moral integrity? No? That's a pity. He will set a red line for these people, and above the red line, he can tolerate these people. But if he breaks through this bottom line, he will take down such people without hesitation."

Zhang Hui looked a little unhesitant: "Do you agree with his statement?"

Li Ze laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang, people live in this world with desires. What we are talking about here is not like this at the beginning. They just did not grasp the greed in their hearts in the process of life. As an official of the governor, Zhang Xun said this, and he wanted to be safe. If he wanted to develop a local economy, he naturally wanted anyone to be able to use anyone and dare to use it as long as he could control it. But from our perspective, he could not think so."

"Then what should we think?" Zhang sighed: "This is a difficult problem."

"From our perspective, what we should think about is how to use systems to bind people's inner greed! We should make those who are likely to commit crimes dare not extend the greed hand because of fear. You teach and educate people to educate them from personal rest. Chunyu Yue revised and perfected the law to intimidate them from the consequences. And what I want to do is to put both of these things into practice, so that education cannot go astray, and the law cannot be made a piece of paper. Don't stretch out your hand, you will be caught."

"It is the most difficult to implement it!" Zhang Hui sighed.
