Chapter 279 I just want to eliminate illiteracy, not illiteracy!
Li Si nodded and said: "I trust the general's ability to run the army."
"With a general commanding the army, there will be no unwilling scholars."
“Of course, even if you are willing to learn, you may not be able to learn it.”
“I once had a classmate who studied hard day and night, but after learning how to write, he was unable to make any progress. , even if I shed tears, there is nothing I can do.”
"People are different!"
The differences between people exist objectively.
Some people are capable of carrying a cauldron and have an unparalleled military strategy, but they just don't like studying.
Some people have great craftsmanship and constant ingenuity, but they can't even learn a word.
Everyone is good at something and bad at something. There are so many people who cannot learn to read or read but are very capable in other areas!
Wang Jian's eyes widened: "Is it easy to learn to bow and arrow? Is it easy to learn to ride a horse? Is it easy to learn to stab with a spear?"
"None of them are easy!"
"How can you not learn it when you are in the army? Is it possible?”
“Li Tingwei knows that people are different, but he doesn’t know that the people in the army are such different people!” A child who has never touched a sword can grow into a warrior and make an illiterate person recognize nine hundred words! ”
"One year of garrison service can make a soldier become an elite soldier, and it can also make a person who is proficient in writing familiar with the "Qin Code" and understand the way of being an official!"
In non-war years, In addition to maintaining local security and standing guard and patrolling, the main task of Daqin's official soldiers is to let a Guizhou leader choose one of the four basic professions of material officer, light chariot, knight, and building ship to take office, and obtain it through military training. Experience, improve skills.
Archers who miss the mark with their crossbows, charioteers who cannot drive, and knights who are the worst at riding horses will be punished based on their assessment results by ranging from fines to corporal punishment, or at worst being placed in the cannon fodder echelon of the first camp.
Not only that, the officials responsible for supervising training and the hometown officials responsible for selection will also be implicated and punished!
Wang Jian wanted to include literacy and rhythm reading into this assessment system.
Wang Jian raised his hands to Ying Zhengyi: "In my opinion, as long as reading and literacy are assessed and rewarded, there will be no lieutenant generals in our Qin army who cannot read, do not know the rules, and do not know how to be an official!"
< br>The corner of Ying Chengyu's mouth twitched slightly: "General, that's not the case!"
"I just want to reserve officials for our Great Qin, not to kill the soldiers who are unwilling to learn!"
< br>Wang Jian is a very stable person.
Since Wang Jian said that there will be no illiterate soldiers in the army, then Wang Jian will definitely be able to do it!
Because all soldiers who don't like to learn and can't learn will die! ! !
But I just want to use the army to promote education and eliminate illiteracy.
I am not trying to eliminate illiteracy!
Wang Jian said of course: "If there is no basis for rewards and punishments, how can the soldiers learn even if they are willing to die!"
Ying Chengjian explained: "Don't forget what I intend to do with this advice. .”
"I order the soldiers to study in the army in order to cultivate talents and reserve officials for our Qin Dynasty."
"Our Qin Dynasty is to dominate the world, and the number of officials we need is only tens of thousands, so why order the entire army? Hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers all know the way to be an official! "
"So I think that only those who cannot read nine hundred seal characters within two years can do it for one year each. "Zī" punishment (fine)"
Wang Jian smacked his mouth: "You can only be punished if you can't learn 900 characters in two years. You can't read "Qin Code" well and don't know how to be an official. Is there no punishment?”
“The punishment is too light!”
Ying Chengxuan smiled and said: "Obviously he is a high-ranking noble, but he cannot be an official because he is illiterate and does not understand the law."
"This is a severe punishment!"
Imagine you. After many years of life and death, I can finally join the army and go ashore.
And as soon as you join the staff, you can start directly as a county magistrate!
Your immediate leaders and the leaders of your immediate leaders are all your comrades-in-arms. They have a life-long friendship, and your future promotion path will be smooth sailing.
Before getting the preparation, you only need to complete a set of papers for the fifth grade of elementary school!
As a result, you can’t do it!
You can only go back to your hometown and become a small landowner with no land and money but no future.
Facing the expectant looks of his wife, children, parents, and the innocent inquiries of his children, he has to humbly ask his former subordinates for help for some trivial matters.
How are you feeling?
This kind of thing would make people collapse more than two thousand years later, let alone the Qin Dynasty where class differentiation is more obvious and solid!
But fortunately, you are not determined for life by taking one exam.
You can also enlist in the army again and get the opportunity to study and join the army again.
When the opportunity comes again, are you willing to recognize all those nine hundred words and understand the "Qin Code" that is closely related to your life?
Thinking about the mood of the soldiers, Wang Jian also smiled: "That's true."
"As long as this truth is explained clearly, I think most soldiers will work hard to learn."
Except during war, all Qin people enlist in the army at the age of seventeen.
Most Guizhou heads have become fathers at this age.
They are no longer ignorant children. They have mature judgment and are very aware of the cruelty of life.
If you don’t strive for every opportunity you can seize under such circumstances, then this kind of person is not worthy of being an official!
Li Si nodded slightly: "What Chang'an Jun said is reasonable, but I underestimated the ambition of the head of Guizhou."
"However, even if the soldiers learned all the writing and understood the "Qin Code", they still could not Isn't it a waste of the energy of legal officials to become officials? "
" If you can read hundreds of classics, your thoughts will be uncontrollable. "
" Tao Lue cannot be placed, this is actually the source of turmoil!"
Before Ying Chengyu could speak, Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "Even if a soldier is illiterate and cannot become an official, what he has learned is not the same! Waste.”
"If I, the Qin Dynasty, pass orders to the whole world, I can post the orders on the city gates, so that the heads of Guizhou can observe them for themselves." The "Law of Qin" was sent to the head of Guizhou to observe it for himself. "
"The soldiers can understand the orders of the Qin Dynasty instead of listening to the random interpretations of the local powerful."
“As for knowing how to read and write, one can read hundreds of classics, which is even more ridiculous!” “If one has the money and can read hundreds of classics, one can read and read without being taught by military officials.”
"How much money does a person who has learned literature through military law officials have to buy many classics?"
"Therefore, I believe that Lord Chang'an's advice is by no means the source of turmoil, but is actually the root of great governance!"
The most important task for Wei Liao when he entered Qin was to reform the army.
Let the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, who won with sheer courage and courage, learn advanced military concepts such as military strategy and formations.
Compared with teaching a group of illiterate soldiers, it is obviously easier to teach literate soldiers how to use military strategy.
The military academy system advised by Ying Chengyu and Wei Liao's military reform can be said to complement each other and can even develop symbiotically!
So Wei Liao also stood beside Ying Chengyu with a clear-cut stance.
Ying Chengxuan followed up and said: "Shang Jun remonstrated with the foolish people."
"But why are the foolish people?"
"Unify your thoughts to control the people!"
>
"Is it foolish to simply suppress the head of Guizhou and make the head of Guizhou illiterate and unable to read?"
"That's a big mistake!"
Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "I think, Thoughts are also battlefields and cannot be won if left unattended."
"Just because we don't occupy this battlefield, the enemy will occupy it!"
"The only way is to force our thoughts into the Qin Dynasty. In the minds of all the leaders of Guizhou, the leaders of Guizhou have to keep thinking about my thoughts of Da Qin, and have no time to think about other thoughts, or even think about themselves. Only then can they fully occupy the thoughts of the leaders of Guizhou. "
"This is the real art of controlling the people!"
Ying Chengxuan is talking about the Han Dynasty!
Since Dong Zhongshu deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, the Han Dynasty has formed a de facto ideological monopoly. All books accessible to the head of Guizhou have been screened by the imperial court.
And if you want to be granted a title of lord, general, promotion and wealth, you need to start studying the designated Confucian teaching materials from an early age.
The "wisdom" of enlightening the people does not necessarily only mean reading and reading, and the "stupidity" of the people does not necessarily mean making Guizhou illiterate!
Li Si said categorically: "Don't say whether Chang'an Jun's words are right or wrong. This move is impossible to do!" Professor Qian Shou gave all the Qian Shou the thoughts of the court!"
"Chang'an Jun is too whimsical!"
Ying Chengyu smiled: "Of course, Li Tingwei can't deny it! What I said. "
"When our country becomes more powerful, why can't we do this?"
"Even now, Li Tingwei still thinks that fooling the people means that the head of Guizhou cannot read Wenhu?"
Li Si wanted to refute it with sophistry.
Compared to fighting for the interests of foreign customers based on their standpoint, Li Si was more concerned about Ying Zheng’s views.
So Li Si had no choice but to hand it over: "I will teach you!"
"However, if you want to develop a large-scale education, a lot of resources will be wasted!"
Ying Chengxuan explained: "That's why I ordered the officers and men below the rank of Geng to study in the army, and those with the rank of Dafu and above to study in the military academy."
"While studying in the army, There is no need to spend any more, as long as the military magistrates work harder, we, the Qin Dynasty, can donate meat and food to comfort the military magistrates. "
"And there is no need for me, the Qin Dynasty, to bear anything if a high-ranking person comes to study in the military academy. The expenses can be paid by the nobles themselves.”
“If it is done properly, I, Da Qin, may be able to benefit from it.”
The noble prince has two hundred and fifty dan per year. His annual salary is quite high.
Bearing the expenses while in school is not a burden for them.
Li Si shook his head: "The expenses required for learning are not just food and legal officials."
"A lot of carving knives, bamboo slips, writing brushes and other things are also needed."
“Money and food can be paid by the annual salary of the nobles. However, where do these writings come from?”
“Even if money and food can be purchased, many people are required to make them! ”
"Our Great Qin is already exhausted and cannot afford to spare too many manpower to make this thing."
Ying Cheng was heartbroken: "I will be responsible for this matter!"
Li Si Slightly startled.
Ying Chengyu has a lot of fiefs. If Ying Chengyu uses his fiefdoms to allow the citizens of each town to pay taxes on writing materials, then Ying Chengyu can really afford all kinds of things needed by the military academy. resource!
But, if Ying Chengxuan has paid so much, then is this military academy the military academy of Da Qin or Ying Chengxuan?
Li Sizheng was about to speak, but Ying Zheng had already nodded: "Since Brother Wang has such a responsibility, how can I refuse to allow it!"
"I am still deeply aware of the lack of officials in our great Qin Dynasty even now."
“In order to achieve the wishes of my people and your beloved ministers, it is imperative to train more officials.”
“The military academy’s policy is very popular with me!”
"Of course, since only those who are doctors or above can enter the military academy, the number of people in the military academy must be small, and there is no need to open it in each county."
"That's why I think it's enough to just set up a military academy in Xianyang."
Ying Zheng said this, which means he has agreed to the military academy policy, but the details still need to be discussed.
Ying Chengyu thought for a while, and then raised his hand and said: "What Brother Wang said is true."
Ying Zheng smiled happily: "Pass on my order!"
"Order the general to be the chief minister to build the Qin Military Academy on the banks of the Weishui River."
"Promote Prince Cheng of Chang'an to the rank of military academy commander, with a rank of two thousand stones."
"Order Prince Cheng of Chang'an to draw up the structure of the military academy as soon as possible and submit it to the court!"
