Chapter 440: The Traveler's Guide: From the Principal to the Principal

Zhao Kuo was very distressed because in Xianyang, not many people could understand him. Even Han Fei, who was deeply influenced by him, did not understand the use of promotion education. Zhao Kuo could only think about it alone, and after taking out the prototype, he continued to modify it. Since Yi left, the courtyard became a little empty. Zhao Fu asked him to return to his mansion to rest due to his physical reasons, and did not come to see him often.

Shan, during these days, is not always at home. Zhao Kuo knew what she was doing when she went out, but Zhao Kuo did not stop her. Love is a beautiful thing, and she should not stop her. At the most beautiful age, she should do the most beautiful thing. In addition, her mother is not here, Zhao Kuo can only be a father and a mother, and is unwilling to scold her again... Zhao Kang left Xianyang and went to Kuaiji to serve as the prefect.

Although Zhao Kang hated studying, the Qin State's requirement to select officials always depends on military merits. Military merits are more important than anything else. Zhao Kang is completely qualified. Zhao Kang would write letters to Zhao Kuo every month to ask about his situation, and then report on what he did in Chu. To be honest, Zhao Kuo is really proud of his son. Zhao Kuo did a lot of things as soon as he went to Chu. He led the soldiers stationed in counties to wipe out the bandits around him.

The bandits were frightened and did not dare to approach Kuaiji County.

Zhao Kuo was very happy. Even if he was not by his side, he was still happy. His young grandson Zhao Xiu stayed by his side. Fusu often came to see him. He secretly instilled in Fusu with the idea of ​​promoting education... Fortunately, Fusu grew up very quickly, and he also had his own ideas and would not follow the crowd. Zhao Kuo felt even happier when he heard his confusion and had his own opinions. This was a good thing.

Zhao Kuo is now in his mansion and rarely goes out. The decoration at home has not changed at all. It is still as usual, just as Yi is still there. He has not moved any of the things Yi uses. He also tried to do what Yi does on weekdays, but the food he cooked was too unpalatable, the clothes he washed were not clean, and the chickens he raised were always losing weight... Yi did not leave too many souvenirs for Zhao Kuo. When Zhao Kuo missed her very much, he would take out her clothes, look at her clothes, say his poor love words, and burst into tears.

Zhao Kuo is still busy every day, busy listening to news from all over the world, and busy doing things that transcend this era. Zhao Kuo is not in a hurry to make any contribution. He is just worried that one day he suddenly leaves, and his thousands of years of experience will be buried with him. Moreover, such busyness can make him less conceived and avoid a lot of sadness.

Only when he concentrates on handling these things can he put the sorrow in his heart behind his mind and not always worry about it.

When he had a preliminary idea of ​​education, he couldn't wait to find Lu Buwei. After Lu Buwei retired, he hid at home to study and rarely went out. His physical condition improved a little compared to before. He was not surprised by Zhao Kuo's arrival. During these days, Zhao Kuo always came to him, and the two of them talked about big things in the narrow inner room. Zhao Kuo's arrival this time was to tell Lu Buwei about his education plan.

He didn't know what attitude Lu Buwei would have.

Lu Buwei lowered his head and read all Zhao Kuo's plans. From time to the promotion of teachers to the teaching of students, Lu Buwei looked at it for a long time, pondered and asked, "Is this a bit anxious? The world has not been unified yet, and there are still people in many places that cannot eat. Even if they want to promote education, they must keep the people in the world away from hunger and cold... If they can't even fill their stomachs, how can they say that they know books and recognize words?"

"I don't want to implement it now. This is just a preliminary idea. I'm not in a hurry. Even if it can't be implemented now, there will always be a chance to do it in the future, right?" Zhao Kuo asked with a smile.

Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Kuo with admiration. Zhao Kuo's ideas were different from others. The other ministers came up with new policies to rush to implement them to increase their political achievements and reputation. However, Zhao Kuo was really for the sake of the people of the world. Whether it was done by himself or whether it was his own contribution, it didn't matter, as long as it could play a little role. Lu Buwei really admired Zhao Kuo in his heart.

Compared to Zhao Kuo, he has been working hard to become a saint over the years, which makes him feel a little guilty.

Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Kuo's plan seriously and said, "There are several big problems. The first problem is the school system you mentioned. You have to set a five-year school system for enlightenment? How is this possible? Children have to help with farming and stay in the school room for five years. This is not to be the prime minister. This is inappropriate, inappropriate. According to your statement, elementary school just needs to let children enlighten, be able to understand words, count, and know some basic morals..."

"I think the time for elementary school can be set to two or three years, and it cannot be longer. As for the tuition problem you mentioned, it is easy to solve. Children can farm for half a day in class and half a day, or they can build a school field, so that students can farm for school fields after class and support themselves... As long as elementary school can bear the children's food problem, parents all over the world will send their children there, so you don't have to worry about this..."

Lu Buwei is worthy of being a prime minister. He could see the shortcomings and vacancy in Zhao Kuo's plan at a glance, and the two discussed together, from the primary school system to the separation of middle school, to the course, and finally the issue about university. Lu Buwei was the only person in Xianyang who recognized Zhao Kuo. He felt that this system was very good, allowing children from the seven countries to be educated from an early age, allowing them to have a sense of identity with the Qin State, and cultivating their patriotic ideas.

It is great to let them understand some simple words, understand the law, and be able to arithmetic.

Middle schools and universities, and middle schools have some conflicts with the school rooms in some aspects, but there is no big problem. Middle schools studied after the enlightenment and trained a group of good young officials. Of course, they could freely choose their own professions. As for universities, cultivating scholars, encouraging academic atmosphere, and cultivating senior talents, this idea is still good, just like the Jixia Academy, which is of course very good.

The two talked for a long time, and then made changes. In the end, a brand new plan finally appeared. Zhao Kuo couldn't wait to come to the palace and wrote a letter to Ying Zheng directly. Since Yi passed away, Zhao Kuo's children's attitude towards him was a little different. They dared not make them angry anymore. They respected and were more obedient than before. Zhao Kuo understood that they were also afraid that they would leave one day and would not have the chance to repay them again.

After experiencing so many separations of life and death, Zhao Kuo has already seen it. In this world, no one will die, and no one will always be by your side. The important thing is how to exert infinite light in your limited life and how to treat those around you who accompany you. Zhao Kuo is not afraid of death. For him, death is more like a kind of relief, but he has no idea of ​​seeking death.

He wants to continue to do more before his life ends, and he wants to cherish the people around him who are still with him.

Ying Zheng was raised by Zhao Kuo. Over the years, Zhao Kuo completely regarded him as his biological son, and was even closer than Zhao Kang. Even though Ying Zheng is now the king of the world, even though he had a beard on his face, and even if he had his own child, in Zhao Kuo's eyes, he was still the baby, stretching his hands, looking at him, and learning to speak.

The father and son could no longer play like before, and Zhao Kuo could not make him cry, but their relationship had not changed. Even when they were talking about government affairs, they gave others the feeling that they were talking about family matters. Ying Zheng looked at the new plan his father came up with seriously, and thoughtfully, he asked: "This is another way of implementation of education you mentioned. What the three elders instilled is not as good as this school..."

"This is also necessary for the unification. I think it can be established to handle the affairs of these schools." Zhao Kuo said casually, Ying Zheng nodded from time to time. The plans proposed by two bigwigs, Lu Buwei and Zhao Kuo, were very good. Especially those courses, which reminded Ying Zheng of his past again. He couldn't help laughing and said, "These courses in elementary school are really familiar."

"Father, is this an idea that arises from teaching me?"

The courses in elementary school are very similar to those Zhao Kuo taught Ying Zheng at the time. Zhao Kuo couldn't help but laugh. At the beginning, he replaced multiple subjects and taught Ying Zheng in all aspects. Of course, Ying Zheng was familiar with these. Ying Zheng smiled wryly and said, "I was tortured by you at the time. I can draw the maps you asked me to draw at that time now... Unfortunately, he couldn't draw Fusu, and I taught them so many times!"

The world map is actually found in the Mafu Book. Zhao Kuo once talked about geography and astronomy with Zou Zi. At that time, he talked about many astronomy and geography concepts, such as the world map. According to the world map drawn in memory, it may not be very consistent with later generations, but it may still look like it. The Asian continent, Africa, the New World, Australia, Alaska, etc. can all be seen in a vague way.

Regarding astronomy, Zhao Kuo directly expressed the concepts of earth, sun, moon, etc. However, no one was shocked. Why? Because this is an era of various schools of thought, and finally the last years of various schools of thought, but the academic atmosphere is still very open, allowing various different theories to appear, it will not scare people. Everyone has a very high ability to accept.

This gave birth to the JG ideology of the Qin State, some Taoist WZF ideology of Taoism, and famous scholars. If someone says this one thousand years later, it will probably be destroyed by the clan, allowing various ideas and accepting various views and views. This is the charm of pre-Qin academics. Such an open academic atmosphere will only appear again after about two thousand years.

In this era, there are too many shocking knowledge, so many that people will not be surprised no matter what they hear. It is precisely because of this that there are too many wise men in this era. These wise men attack each other, and they all show their knowledge to the world proudly. Zhao Kuo really likes the academic spirit of this era. At some times, when he looks at Xunzi's manuscripts, he sometimes laughs out loud.

Xunzi was usually very gentle, but when he was engaged in academic research, he became a little irritable and began to curse all the people. In the "Not Twelve Sons", Xunzi scolded all the scholars in the world.

Xunzi said: It is hustle and Wei Mou is no different from beasts. Chen Zhong and Shi Jing do not know human feelings or beasts. Mo Di and Song Feng are fools who do not understand the unity of the world, and Tian Pian is an unrealistic waste. Hui Shi and Deng Xi's academic work is worthless. Zi Si and Meng Ke have committed a lot of crimes and interpret Confucius's theories. As he cursed, even his own people were caught in the attack. After scolding his predecessors, Xunzi felt uncomfortable, so he scolded all the Confucian schools in another article.

This is probably a different charm that pre-Qin has. Later, it will be difficult to scold the sages. Now it is the last chapter of the era of the Hundred Schools of Medicine. If you want to scold the sages, you have to seize the opportunity to scold them quickly. If you are too late, it will be too late.

Ying Zheng agreed to Zhao Kuo's proposal and called Li Si to watch it together. Li Si is different from Lu Buwei. When Lu Buwei sees these, he will think about what might be wrong. Li Si looks at him and just thinks about how to complete him. These two prime ministers can only be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages. Anyway, Li Si can't give any suggestions, but he can directly execute them. Zhao Kuo pondered for a long time, and he said, "If you can't eat enough in every place today."

"You can temporarily establish primary schools in the stable Guanzhong, Bashu and other areas. As an experiment, when the people are stable and the people live a prosperous life, they can gradually promote them in various places. What do you think?" Zhao Kuo asked. Ying Zheng is actually an extreme perfectionist. He either does not do it or does it best. He doesn't like such small-scale promotions.

But Zhao Kuo also has his own ideas when he said this. Who knows what kind of problems will arise in practice? If you are in a hurry to promote and want to remedy the problems after they occur, then the tuition will be too much.

After negotiations between the three, the King of Qin finally decided to set up a primary school in the Guanzhong area of ​​Qin. The primary school was built according to the county's organization, and the middle school was a county, and of course the university could only be in Xianyang. Moreover, according to Li Si's suggestion, the King of Qin finally arranged an official position, which was the university priest. The so-called university priest is responsible for national education, from students' classes to exams, to teachers' arrangements.

The person who holds this position is Zhao Kuo.

This is also the first official position Zhao Kuo held after coming to this world.
