The demise of Chu is a very important thing for the whole world. Zhao Kuo's prestige has soared. The people of the seven countries either respect him or fear him. Even no matter how stupid a person is, they dare not underestimate him. As the last gentleman of the Seven Kingdoms era and as the general who contributed the greatest contribution in the era of great unification, no one can compare to Zhao Kuo's prestige in contemporary times.

The demise of Chu made a king's pace much faster. No, it cannot be said that it was much faster. It was already standing at the door and even opened the door to a king's world. Behind the door was the dawn of unification. It was something that countless Qin people were proud of, especially the kings and ministers of Qin. This was the goal they fought for for generations.

The battle to destroy Chu also became the last carnival for the generals. In this battle, three Guanneihou, including Li Mu, Meng Wu, Sima Shang, and dozens of high-level titles were created. Even young people like Meng Tian were quickly promoted to high-level titles because of his huge military achievements, not far from Guanneihou, and Wang Jian and Zhao Kang also reached the top of their military achievements, which was the position of Chehou.

However, Zhao Kuo raised the position of Hou Che too high, but he still lacked some of the contributions he made when he destroyed Chu. However, they were not in a hurry, because in front of them, there was another country called Qi. If Qi was destroyed, he could also gain military merits. Li Mu became An Wujun. When he heard this name, Zhao Kuo was also shocked. Why did Li Mu just want to live with Wu'an in this life?

Meng Wu was granted the title of Wugong Jun. Wugong was a county town in Guanzhong and also became Mengwu's fief. At the same time, Sima Shang was granted the title of Pingyang Jun. This was a fief in Han. Everyone was very happy. Li Mu became the lord of Qin and felt a little confused. However, he also liked the time he was in Qin. In Qin, he did not have to try his best to resolve the conspiracies in the temple, nor did he need to write to the king to tell the right and wrong.

He just needs to fight with peace of mind. No one will swallow his credit, no one will disobey his orders. Moreover, he has met many friends here, and Sima Shang is the same. He has never complained about coming to Qin. Becoming the throne of Qin is something he wants. The happiest thing is Meng Wu. Meng Wu's father Meng Ao has not been able to get the position of throne, but he has obtained it. This is a great achievement for him.

He can finally stand up and let the children become people like him.

Every time he tells Meng Tian that Wu Chenghou can already defeat Wu'anjun at your age, Meng Tian will refute that Wu Chenghou has long been Chehou at your age!

It is not difficult to destroy Chu State, but it is not so easy to govern Chu State. The inside of Chu State is too chaotic. The King of Chu’s former pain is now felt. The reason why the aristocratic power of Chu State is strong is because of the huge local customs. Compared to the direct management of the king, it is better to seal these places out and let the nobles manage it, obey their orders in wartime, and pay taxes at other times. Isn’t this good?

But of course, Qin State refused to govern the local area like Chu State. The hugely different culture did not mean that it was necessary to enfeoffment. The King of Qin selected a group of elite officials from the meritorious soldiers and sent them to Chu State to serve as officials. The talent gap in Qin State is no longer so huge, because after Li Si replaced Lu Buwei, he continued to expand the size of his university office. At the same time, Wang Jian's attack on Yan and Zhao Kuo's attack on Chu both gave many soldiers a title, and they were all potential candidates for officials.

In addition, Zhao Kuo promoted the system of filial piety and brotherhood in the three elders, and people with wise and famous local areas could be recommended to study in the school room. These were all disguisedly increasing the number of officials. The shortage of officials that had troubled Qin for a long time was finally solved to a certain extent. Therefore, after the destruction of Chu, Qin quickly sent a large number of officials to Chu to enrich the vacant positions.

Li Si is still different from Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei has a strong control over the current situation, has a long vision, and is good at formulating national policies in a big way. Li Si is a purely practical genius. Compared to saying that he likes to do things, he has to come up with a way to solve the problems that trouble Qin State in the short term. Li Si's execution ability is also high, and the problems that have accumulated for many years have been solved in his hands.

Zhao Kuo sat in the study, looking at the paper in front of him, and revised it. Nowadays officials can be promoted through military merits, but it will definitely not work if this continues in the future. Qin needs a lot of talents, and China is the same. The current education industry is still blank. Zhao Kuo wants to make some breakthroughs in the field of education. The current education of Qin, um, Qin does not have education.

Yes, what Qin wants is soldiers who can fight and farmers who can farm. What words should I learn if I don’t go farming?

After these farmers made military achievements on the battlefield, if they wanted to be officials, they could find teachers to study by themselves. The Qin State's school room was not responsible for enlightenment, and the school room was responsible for the popularization of law. The students in the school often came to the school room to learn the law after learning the text. Therefore, if the people wanted to obtain education, they would go through private learning... The Qin State had no restrictions on education, but there were restrictions on those who participated in education.

People who educate others in private in China should be responsible for the people they teach, that is, if they are not careful, a child who was enlightened many years ago rebelled when he grew up, and you followed him in... This led to the fact that the education cause of Qin was not very developed. After Zhao Kuo came to Qin, he made changes to the school room and arranged a sacrificial wine specifically responsible for enlightenment in the school room, hoping to expand the scale of officials.

For this reason, Zhao Kuo also asked Li Si and others to write enlightenment textbooks.

But just that is not considered education. The real start of the education industry in China was during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the Imperial Academy was established in the capital. As the highest institution of learning in the country, the Imperial Academy established various courses and was taught by famous scholars in the world. If the elites taught were excellent enough, they could get official positions. At the same time, in order to increase the talent reserve, Emperor Wu of Han also promoted Chinese studies in various counties and shouldered the same mission as the Imperial Academy.

Zhao Kuo came from later generations and was very familiar with the education system, but if he was asked to copy the education system in later generations, it seemed a bit inappropriate. Not to mention anything else, it was more than twenty years of education, which was unacceptable to people in this era. You should know that the average life expectancy of people during this period was less than forty years, men were thirty-five years old and women were thirty-nine years old. It was not realistic for you to let them receive education until they were twenty-three or four years old.

Therefore, it is necessary to correct the education based on the complete education of later generations and develop the education cause. The strength of the country lies in its education. If these people have been personally certified by great people, they can stand scrutiny. If a country wants to be strong, it certainly needs talents, and talents come from education. Zhao Kuo wants to develop the education cause of Qin, which is a big cause starting from scratch.

The first is the enlightenment of young children. Of course, the enlightenment of young children can still be called primary schools. Officials arrange priests to set up primary schools in the local area and call children to learn writing knowledge. Of course, they learn unified writing and language. They not only learn advanced knowledge, but also learn the principles of being a human being, and become a good boy in the Qin Dynasty with both moral integrity and ability. So does such primary schools charge fees?

For today's people, it is not easy to let them spend money to send their children to study... This is somewhat difficult. Thousands of years later, there are no useless reading. Many parents would rather their children farm and herd sheep and not allow them to study, let alone in today's era? When children grow up a little, they will become an important labor force in the family and follow the farming. In this case, it is not possible to ask parents to pay to send their children to the school room.

What should I do?

Zhao Kuo called Han Fei.

Han Fei has been with Zhao Kuo for a long time. He treats Zhao Kuo as his family and naturally respects Yi very much. He is also the older of Zhao Kuo's many "children". The death of Yi also has a great blow to Han Fei. He knows that Zhao Kuo has a deep relationship with Yi, and he is also very worried that Zhao Kuo will collapse or even commit suicide.

However, Zhao Kuo was not addicted to grief as he imagined. After experiencing a short period of silence, Zhao Kuo returned to the past and was still tired of this land. Zhao Kuo would occasionally joke, and his face was not always sad. He would occasionally hold his grandson and tell them stories with a smile. Unlike Zhao Kang, Zhao Kuo was almost completely affected, except that he would occasionally shout Yi's name when he couldn't find clothes.

The teacher suddenly called him, and Han Fei was uneasy. He was really scared. What would Zhao Kuo explain to him.

However, when he came to Zhao Kuo, there were papers piled up around Zhao Kuo. He looked a little tired, but he was still healthy. Han Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Kuo looked at him and suddenly said, "I called you here this time for a law. I am going to implement the compulsory education law." Han Fei was stunned. Compulsory education? He didn't understand Zhao Kuo's idea very well. Zhao Kuo said, "It is the people of Qin who are obliged to receive education, learn words and language, learn knowledge and the principles of being a human being."

Han Fei suddenly stood up, frowned, and said seriously: "Teacher!"

"I heard that if you want to govern the people in the country, you cannot let them understand too many principles. Let them understand that obedience is the most important thing! When people learn knowledge, they will have unnecessary thoughts, they will not be willing to obey the decisions of the temple, and they will not be willing to do their duty..."

"You feudal remnant!" Zhao Kuo couldn't help but curse. After a moment, he calmed down again. He frowned, stood up and said seriously: "I am foolish, foolish, alas, you said, why am I fighting everywhere and quelling the war? Is it for Qin? Is it for politics?" He shook his head and said seriously: "I am for the people living here."

"Education is the foundation of the country. The more the people know, the more stable the country will be. The foundation of the country is the people, not the king... When the people all know morality and have knowledge, they will know right and wrong. Some people slander heroes and warriors, many people will come out to attack him... If the people are stupid, they will violate the orders of the temple everywhere and be arrogant..."

"I don't blame you. What you want is to stabilize the country. Then I tell you, when the people in the country know right and wrong, the country will become more stable. The strategy of fooling the people is wrong. You are not just a minister of Qin, but you are also a wise man of China..." Zhao Kuo said, looking at Han Fei, who was confused and wanted to argue with him, but he felt helpless. Han Fei could not understand him. Maybe Xunzi could do it.

This cannot be blamed on Han Fei. Han Fei's proposition is that the state controls everything, and the people are more like tools. The people must serve ZF. In Zhao Kuo, ZF is a tool and a tool for serving the people. The policies introduced by the temple must first benefit the people, and then they can benefit the country. The so-called country is essentially the people living in this territory.

The two had different ideas, and Zhao Kuo said seriously: "The military merit system is not applicable to peaceful times. When the world is peaceful, the selection of talents will become a problem. The definition of talents cannot be just about fighting. I want to popularize education, just to let the country have more talents... And education is not just about cultivating talents, but also about cultivating morality. Alas... I don't know how to tell you."

"In short, if you want the people of various countries to become a family, you must integrate them together through education... Let them know right from wrong and let them learn knowledge. If in the future, the farmers in the farmland can read the farmer's books to farm, then I will die with peace of mind!" Zhao Kuo sighed for a long time, looking at Han Fei with some disappointment, and Han Fei frowned.

He still felt that Zhao Kuo's approach was not good for Qin and could cultivate talents, but comprehensively promoting cultural knowledge would lead to many disobedient borers, who did not engage in farming, and talked a lot all day long... Zhao Kuo no longer forced him to help him formulate it. After he sent Han Fei away, he began to formulate it himself. Zhao Kuo was very firm and things proved by history would not go wrong.

Even if his actions caused Qin to perish, Zhao Kuo would not regret it. When the people all had knowledge and Qin was destroyed, it means that the Qin system was indeed not in line with the people's hearts and was hated by the people, and such Qin should perish!

Zhao Kuo tried to set the time for admission, because children in this era are precocious and basically have to go to the battlefield at fifty-six. Therefore, the youngest age for primary school can be set at six years old, and the time for education cannot be too long. It is best to control it in five years. When the youngest student is about eleven years old, he can leave elementary school, take exams, and then go to middle school. The definition of primary school is just a simple enlightenment education, and the field of middle school must be more advanced.

To cultivate practical abilities such as the law, the ideas of hundreds of schools, advanced military theories, etc., the time for middle school can be set in five years. When the five years of academic completion, they will be sixteen years old, and they can serve as grassroots officials. In this way, the positions of grassroots officials are endless, and then the university is set in Xianyang. If you are unwilling to serve as grassroots officials after graduating from middle school, you can take the college entrance examination.

In college, we must be trained by the most top talents. Those who come out of here must at least have the ability to be the right and left hand in counties.

Primary school enlightenment, middle schools cultivate grassroots talents, and universities cultivate high-end talents. This is what Zhao Kuo thinks now.

As for the issue of tuition, Zhao Kuo believes that compulsory education must be set in primary schools, that is, in the past five years of primary school, all children must receive education... tuition must be available, otherwise there will be problems in the Qin treasury. However, some tuition fees can be weakened, and certain subsidies can be given to students with very difficult families, while middle schools and universities can't fall in love with them.

ps: Ersanzi, I really don’t dare to read comments these days. I have experienced such an attack for the first time in my life. From a certain website account to QQ WeChat, to Qidian private messages, and even the post-bar Weibo, I was scolded so much that I was even scolded. Some people even found my mobile phone number and text messages from nowhere to scold me. I was very scared. I once again admitted my mistake and I added an extra to compensate everyone. Can you calm down? If you continue to scold like this, I will really be autistic.
