Zhao Ning added: "Then how to implement moral governance?"

Yang Shi said: "If you appoint officials with virtue, you will naturally have virtuous government."

"Then how do you promote officials with virtue?"

"In the past, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty opened up the way of speech. Zhenguan was Zhongzheng, and Zhongzheng was the great virtue. Your Majesty opened the way of speech, and all virtuous people in the world would return to their hearts."

"As you said, as long as I open up my voice, virtuous people from all over the world will gather here?"

"That's what I mean."

"There are so many affairs in the country, how can we ensure that the people who come are what I need at this moment?"

Yang Shi was speechless for a moment.

Zhao Ning added: "I think that politicians should not sit back and wait for work. Confucius said that there is no distinction between education and talent. Talents need to be cultivated."

The meaning of "education without distinction" means that everyone can receive education, and some people cannot be excluded from education because of reasons such as wealth, poverty, nobility, wisdom, stupidity, good or evil.

Therefore, in fact, many of Confucius' thoughts are very simple and positive.

Yang Shi was a little confused as to what the Zhao Guan family wanted to do.

Zhao Ning continued: "Since talents need to be cultivated and cannot be limited by their origin, I think that the court should teach based on learning."

Yang Shi then said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that most of the officials in the imperial court came from the imperial examination, and those who took the imperial examination also read the books of sages!"

"Have there ever been fewer corrupt officials and treacherous people?"

Yang Shi was speechless again.

Zhao Ning said: "No one can make mistakes unless he is a sage. A common man's fault will harm his family; an official's fault will harm a party; a prime minister's fault will harm the country's people; a king's fault will cause the world to boil."

"Therefore, both the ministers and the people need to be taught again."

Yang Shi was a little surprised: "This..."

"I want to establish an official school and teach hundreds of officials so that it can be passed down and handed down. What do you think?"

Yang Shi was shocked. He only heard about people who studied at Imperial College before the imperial examination, but never heard about people who had to take the exam again after becoming an official.

Zhao Guanjia added: "This matter concerns the world and the country. I need Yang Qing to take charge of it. How about it?"

Yang Shi finally understood what Zhao Guan's family wanted to do. Although talents were selected through the imperial examination, corrupt officials were still rampant in the court, especially during the Xuanhe period.

The Zhao Guan family wanted to subject officials to regular examinations, and those who failed would be punished.

Yang Shi said: "Your Majesty, I am old and may not be qualified for the job, but I can recommend someone to your Majesty."

"who?"

"Luo Congyan, this person also studied under Cheng Hao. He has a good character, a pure and kind man, profound knowledge, and pure thoughts. He is the talent that your Majesty needs."

Luo Congyan?

Zhao Ning felt that this person seemed familiar.

"Okay, I want to announce that this person has come to Bianjing."

After a brief exchange with Yang Shi, Zhao Ning knew that the person he was looking for was coming soon.

It is urgent to re-educate and strictly control the thoughts of officials, especially after the New Deal is launched, there will be more newly appointed officials, and they need strict ideological control even more.

In a complete mobilization system, there is a very core point: the efficiency of ideological communication.

Mustache's German mobilization ability is strong because the whole country agrees with his approach. There is less internal analysis in the organization and the efficiency is naturally high.

Look, Chen Dong is now playing with 700,000 acres of land, and he has been at odds with the Ministry of Household Affairs until everyone is tired, and many officials look down on him.

This is the drawback of internal consumption within the organization.

Moreover, various yamen within the Song Dynasty were consuming each other.

Everyone disagrees with each other and lacks unified ideological guidelines.

How could such a court and government implement the New Deal? How could they defeat the Jin Kingdom?

Therefore, not only the system must be reformed, but also the ideological organization must be reformed!

Taixue needs reform!

Of course, Zhao Ning's usual method is to start with a new one without leaving the original one alone, and then find the right opportunity to kill the original one and replace it with a new one.

After Yang Shi left, Zhao Ning started writing his own books in Wende Hall: "Guan Lun" and "Seeking Truth from Facts".

Song Dynasty Confucianism also has many merits.

For example, Ercheng's "Qiuli" means to study the principles of affairs thoroughly.

For example, Yang Shi's theory of knowledge must first investigate objects.

The so-called Zhizhi is to achieve perfect understanding, while investigating things is to explore the laws of all things.

What Yang Shi means is that if you want to achieve a perfect understanding of things, you must explore the laws of all things.

This is the ancient materialist philosophical thought.

As for the person who reformed official studies, Zhao Ning does not need him to have 21st century ideas. The significance of official studies is to standardize official behavior to a certain extent.

That is to continuously educate officials.

The "virtue" mentioned by Yang Shi is one of the new official studies and is desirable.

These are new standards for officials.

Of course, official learning is only one of the norms, and more importantly it serves to unify thinking and improve efficiency.

If you really want to supervise, you still have to have a special yamen. The Yushitai in the Song Dynasty was for supervising officials.

Zhao Ning, the supervisory department, is not in a hurry to rectify the situation, and will take things step by step.

In the following time, Zhao Ning did not interfere much with government affairs. He discussed new learning matters with Chen Gui every day.

The so-called new learning is different from official learning.

The official school regulates officials, while the new school trains professional talents among the people. These talents are not officials, but they can be officials.

Gewuyuan was established in a low-key manner in the hot summer on May 22nd of the third year of Jingkang.

Then we began to recruit talents from all over the world.

The first person Zhao Ning targeted was Chen Fu, an agriculturist in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

On May 23, the second day after the founding of Gewuyuan, Bianjing College also hung up a plaque in a low-key manner.

On May 25th, Luo Congyan arrived in Bianjing from Luoyang and was summoned to the palace to be a saint.

Zhao Ning met Luo Congyan, and Luo Congyan was also lucky enough to meet today's emperor. This was something he had never thought of in his life.

Zhao Ning asked: "I heard that Mr. Cheng Hao studied under him?"

"I was once fortunate enough to study under Cheng Zi."

"I have a question."

"Your Majesty, please make it clear."

"What is virtue?"

Luo Congyan said: "Character and ambition."

"Then what is a virtuous person?"

Luo Congyan added: "You cannot rely on your virtue. Since ancient times, the most generous people are like Yao and Shun. If you can rely on your envoy's virtue, then Yao and Shun will definitely pass it on to his sons."

De Ze cannot be relied upon, which means that one cannot always rely on and expect an ordinary person to have moral character.

If moral character can be relied upon, virtuous people like Yao and Shun would surely pass it on to their descendants.

Luo Congyan's core meaning is: people's knowledge and conduct are not innate, let alone determined by their family background.

This is in line with Zhao Ning's ideas. What he wants is such innovative talents in official education.

Zhao Ning said: "Good! I regard you as the head of the official school in Bianjing to educate all officials."

Luo Congyan said: "The common people are stupid and I don't know why Your Majesty uses them."

"Sir, you have great integrity. The officials in the country and the dynasty are corrupt. If I want to clean up the official style, I have to do it, sir!"

There are gentlemen in the West, and gentlemen in China.

If there are true gentlemen in this world, then Luo Congyan is one of them.

This person studied under a great Confucian like Cheng Hao, and could have used his title as a student of Cheng Hao to gain a good life. However, he pursued poverty all his life and did not care about the world, but only pursued knowledge and Taoism.

Zhao Ning needs such a pure person to learn from the prosecutor.

Luo Congyan said: "The ordinary people seek the Tao and do not care about worldly affairs."

"What is Tao?"

"Gewuye."
