The first book that scholar-officials in the Spring and Autumn Period taught children to read was the Book of Changes...

Even if modern people have completed the third year of high school, even if they add annotations, their reading of the I Ching will still be a mess.

As for county school, what is it?

This was strongly advocated by Fan Zhongyan after Qingli founded the school.

In the eyes of the children of scholars, do people who don't even have any family knowledge deserve to be called scholars? Or do they deserve to be called scholars?

Then Zhang Yue heard Zhang Heng talk about his reasons.

Although Zhang Heng became a disciple of Chen Xiang at that time, he did not take seriously the county school and did not even go there a few times. After Zhang Heng won the first prize, he had little contact with Chen Xiang.

Compared with Zhang Yue, Sun Jue, and Lin Xi, they were simply too different. Even Zhang Yue didn't know that Zhang Heng had also been a disciple of Chen Xiang, and Zhang Heng had never mentioned it to him.

Zhang Yue saw Zhang Heng's behavior and thought, "This is a big problem for you."

But Zhang Heng's willingness to let go of the pride of a scholar's son is still commendable.

There is no such thing as a solitary minister. Zhang Heng originally thought that it would be enough to be appreciated by the emperor, but now he understands that without a leader, it will be difficult to make progress in his official career.

After Zhang Yue agreed, he asked Zhang Heng: "What do you think of the new law being drafted by the Regulations Department of the Three Departments now?"

Two new laws are currently being discussed by the three Ordinance Departments.

One is the exemption law, which has been discussed since the fourth year of Zhiping. After Han Jiang and Zhang Yue proposed it, it has entered the process. Now the emperor has issued an edict to appoint shipping envoys, transshipment envoys, third division envoys, deputy envoys and above.

Let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of labor law.

One is the reform of the imperial examination. Wang Anshi wanted to abolish the imperial examination method of poetry and Fu, which had been the default method since the Tang Dynasty, and change it to select scholars based on classics, meanings and policies.

This is not new. Starting from Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, they have been emphasizing the suppression of the status of poems and poems in imperial examinations and increasing the weight of policy articles.

This official family has already planned to issue an edict to ask officials from the third bureau or above to speak out.

The rest of the new laws have not yet been unveiled, but these two courts alone are already causing a lot of noise.

Zhang Yue said to Zhang Heng: "When you choose something to do, you must impress the officials with your words!"

You must know that one of the shortcuts for the Shenzong Dynasty was to agree to the new law.
