13. Pony Shexi Wen

As for what Gao Yue later told the two governors that the promotion of tea cultivation in Lizhou and the expansion of the military farming scale in Yuehe Valley in Yangzhou, the two naturally agreed and told Gao Yue that the Prince of Hechuan was willing to support a group of tea farmers from Shu to Lizhou.

In this way, Shu and Xingyuan Prefecture reached an agreement. Sure enough, a few days later, the imperial envoy arrived and informed Gao Yue that he immediately entered the capital to discuss the construction of a city in Pingliang. In addition, the Baicao Army needed to go out to defend the autumn troops.

"This means that it is very likely that I, Tang, will end the short-term peace with Xifan." Gao Yue pondered.

Civil war will be replaced by border wars soon.

In the afterglow of autumn, Yun Shao, Yun and his two sisters were sitting under the flower stand in the courtyard of the official house, teaching Jing'er to read and recognize words. Da'er was in her infancy, and was held by Acuo to amuse her.

After Gao Yue walked in, he saw this and asked what book Jinger was reading.

The answers I got were simple rhyme books and enlightenment books. "Qingqing, the provincial education in Xingyuan Prefecture was too indulgent. If you grow older, you need private learning." Yun Shao meant that high and older, I was afraid that neither of my sisters could bear it. It would be better to find a teacher who was proficient in classic Confucianism to educate them privately, so that only then can your studies be truly improved.

"The courtyard of my Shengpingfang family is all from military generals. I am afraid that the teaching will be entrusted to others in the future." Yun He supported his hands and was a little discouraged.

But Gao Yue had a different view, "Sometimes I can't just think about my own children. I also feel deeply that the education of prefectures and county has declined as A Ni said. The ancients said that the granaries are full and the etiquette is known. In the past two years, I was in charge of Xingyuan Prefecture, and I wanted to revitalize the public and private schools at the prefectures and county levels."

In fact, in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, prefecture, county and Imperial College were in a major crisis. What caused this crisis was not other reasons, but the rise of the imperial examination system.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong not only set up school buildings at all levels, but also issued several edicts to give different ways to attend school and enter the officialdom of nobles and common people. At that time, the central and local teaching was based on "Classics" and therefore the main responsibility of the school was to let students "understand the classics".

But in the era of Empress Wu, because she preferred literature to obtain a scholar, the evaluation criteria for the imperial examination changed from the original "Civilization" to "Literature", that is, focusing on poetry, songs and essays. This influence extended to the middle and late Tang Dynasty. When Gao Yue was taking the examination at the South College of the Ministry of Rites, the questions he wrote also severely criticized Empress Wu's policies. In the Ming Jing, the examination standards also turned to simple recitation, and did not require the examinee to really understand the essence of the classics. In this way, the "public school" that focuses on classics has rapidly declined due to the serious disconnection between teaching content and actual needs, and focused on the "poetry" of poetry, songs and essays.

It is reasonable to have arisen private schooling. Therefore, in the Xuanzong era, it was forced to stipulate that as a student, he must have a "graduation certificate" from local prefectures and counties, and then enter the Central Imperial College, the Imperial College or the Four Schools to conduct appropriate further studies (enter the Guangwen Pavilion), and then obtain the qualification to take the Jinshi exam to ensure the school's enrollment rate. In the future, Gao Jing actually followed the normal trajectory, and seven out of 10 were also relying on Gao Yue's school to enter the Imperial College (of course, if Gao Yue could enter the third rank, he would be able to enter the Hongwen Chongwen Pavilion 2) and then enter the official career in various ways.

However, the mandatory provisions of the Tang government's policies were the end of "a mantis arm that was chariot" before the development of the times.

In fact, in the Xuanzong era, the concept of "it's useless to learn" in school teaching has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. For example, Tian Wan in the Kaiyuan period, like Gao Yue, also entered the Imperial Academy when she was young, but after studying for a while, she felt that "Xiao Ya" was like a resentful woman all day long, while "Da Ya" taught people how to "extraordinary" all day long, so she thought that this thing was learned? I, a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, "the achievements should be ahead of the scholarship, and the chapters and sentences should not be urgent in time." So she simply learned riding horses and archery, Sun Wu's military strategy, and then joined the army and made contributions to the battlefield. Finally, she became the governor of Anbei, and later served as the governor of Yizhou, Gaoyang's military envoy, and the career was until the governor of Hedong.

In Gaoyue's era, whether it was the Imperial College or the two schools in prefectures and counties, it was simply in name only. Therefore, in the Imperial College, Gaoyue had to take a certain proportion of the students who were sent to Jingzhao Prefecture in order to protect the Imperial College.

"Alas, even if people are detained by law, it will be useless!" Gao Yue knew very well that whether the education of the central and local governments should be revitalized, of course, it is not possible to reliably issue some policies to repair them, but it is necessary to adapt to the needs of the times and carry out strong innovation.

"I'll be in the Fuxing Academy in Xingyuan Prefecture soon, but the Academy also needs various expenses such as kitchen materials, wooden salary, and salary. I'm going to take one-third of the rice from the field, plus the public and private salary to be used as funding for the Academy." Gao Yue expressed his thoughts.

When Yunhe heard this, he immediately had a question in his heart, "I won't want to take Jing'er..."

"Yes, I'm going to go to school. If I'm the first to go to school, I'm going to be a role model. The children of officials and officials at all levels of Xingyuan Prefecture will also be admitted. Then the entire prefecture will go to various counties to study."

Gao Yue's idea was supported by Yun Shao.

But Yunhe still has doubts, "The country has a long-term student degree, but there are only 20 or 30 Jinshi every year."

It means that it is useless to recruit so many students in the school!

Gao Yue disagreed. He said that every year, the Jinshi was the elite of the country and the reserve army at the level of the ministers. But if this country wants to operate well, how can it take so many ministers? In many counties, the country still complained that it could not find anyone to be the dictator, chief, lieutenant, and could only let people or clerks serve as the position. These people were uninformed and were foolish after taking office. Now the country urgently needed not poetry talents, but a large number of professionals, rushing to the border, various states and counties in the mainland to pastor the people for the court and run the army.

The sisters felt that what he said made sense, but no matter how deep they were, they couldn't figure it out for the time being.

Gao Yue then sat on the stone pier under the flower stand, touched Jing'er's head, and then took out a few articles from his arms, saying that he would read it for you. After reading it, wait for Ah Father to return from the capital, and you will talk to him about what he thought.

"What is this?" Yun Shao asked curiously.

"It was a change of writing written by Master Mingxuan and I."

The so-called change of writing is the article "combining education and entertainment" used by Buddhism to preach the Taoist ritual. It is easy to understand and combines rap, which is particularly close to the story meetings of later generations.

"Xiao, Xiao Jue passed the stream and changed her writing?" He read one of the articles and read it out with a voice...

Gao Yue went to the capital. Two days before leaving, a sailboat parked by Hanchuan. Then the one who came ashore was Sima Lu Qi, the former Fengzhou.

In Tianhan Post, Gao Yue personally received the former priest.

It turned out that the emperor issued an edict, and although he did not allow Lu Qi to return to the court, he could be transferred to the chief secretary of Jizhou (now Ji'an, Jiangxi).

Although he is also a free job, Lu Qi is still very confident. During the meal, he said to Gao Yue: "In less than three years, Qi will enter the Political Affairs Hall again. At that time, he will definitely not forget Yisong and Cheng Wu's kindness to me."
