On the first day of July of the sixth year of Yande, Emperor Guo Peng issued an imperial edict.

The general meaning of the imperial edict is that after a long period of thinking and discussion with his ministers, the emperor felt that there was a big problem with the current education model of our Wei Kingdom.

That is, the number of talents educated is not enough.

The Wei Empire government had great power, so it had a lot of things to do and had a lot of demand for officials. With this, there were uneven quality of officials.

After careful thinking and on-site investigation, the emperor discovered that the reason for this situation was that there was a problem with the current pattern of private schools prospering while official schools declined.

Private schools can cultivate a small number of talents and cannot keep up with the government's needs, while existing official schools can cultivate even fewer people, even less can't keep up with the needs.

This is not possible. If this continues, problems will arise. The Wei government's governance capabilities will arise.

This won't work.

So the emperor slapped his head and decided to make some changes. He wanted to reform and change the existing education model, make the unreasonable status quo and make everything look full of vitality.

The reform method is also easy to understand. The emperor should increase the enrollment amount of Taixue, expand the scope of Taixue's education, and enhance the educational ability of Taixue.

After the official speech, the emperor said that because he received the help of the wise ministers of the Saoxiao family for everyone, he was able to mark the existing Five Classics Laws with punctuation marks, so that the Five Classics Laws could be seen at a glance, and could be easily understood without using sentences.

This can greatly improve the educational efficiency of Taixue and greatly reduce the burden on students, so that they do not have to spend too much time learning sentence reading.

And you can spend more time studying the scriptures.

With fixed punctuation, the teacher can concentrate on explaining the meaning of the scriptures without spending time explaining how to break sentences and how to understand them, just read the text according to the script.

In this way, more and more outstanding students can be trained.

When there is no paper, students can only listen to the teacher and rely on memory to remember. If they have good memory, they will have the advantage. If they have poor memory, they will have the disadvantage.

Moreover, many times the teacher only talks once and does not talk much. Many times the students have to rely on themselves to explore or ask others for advice, which is very inconvenient.

After all, bamboo slips are heavy and expensive, and they can write few words, which is not suitable for class notes.

With paper that is cheap and light enough, students can make good use of the advantages of paper in class and record the essence of teachers' lectures. After class, they can also use the notes recorded in class to study by themselves.

If you can review the past and learn the new, you can become a teacher.

That's the reason.

After the emperor struggled for many years, he was able to implement Confucius's ideas back then.

The reason why the emperor did this was to consider the study of all scholars, hoping that they could study better and more efficiently.

There are not many books yet.

The emperor has arranged for people to copy urgently. At that time, he hopes that the students of the Imperial Academy can form five or ten-person study groups independently, and each group will send a book to conduct collective study.

This is what the meaning of this imperial edict means, and it was not published separately at the Shangshutai and asked the Shangshutai to be responsible for public announcement, but it was directly issued to various imperial offices, which was equivalent to the emperor's announcement directly.

Many officials were quite surprised and shocked at this, and they had no idea what was going on. They asked each other and asked each other for superior officials, but they got answers like [Don't Know].

For a time, all scholars, officials and people were in panic.

In comparison, officials from poor families are much calmer.

After they carefully read the emperor's imperial edict, they suddenly felt that this was a good thing for them.

The emperor wants to abolish private schools and promote official schools.

Since the late Han Dynasty, private schools have flourished and official schools have declined, and there has been no change in decades.

Now suddenly the official school is about to rise, and aren’t they the biggest beneficiaries who are relying on the Imperial Academy to live?

Scholars and officials and their children have always looked down on the Imperial College and only studied in their private schools and controlled the high positions. Officials from poor families hated it, but there was no way.

But now the situation seems to have changed a little.

It must be said that before doing this, Guo Peng did not communicate with any senior officials of the court, and the news was strictly blocked and not leaked. Therefore, even the closest ministers were completely unclear about this and did not understand what was going on.

Cao Cao was blocked by a group of cabinet officials and asked questions, and everyone thought he must know something.

But Cao Cao really knew nothing.

"Everyone, you guys! Be calm down! I really don't know what's going on with this matter. I still feel strange. I'm going to ask Your Majesty what's going on! Please don't be impatient!"

Cao Cao was sweating profusely to comfort the panic-worshiping scholars and officials in the cabinet.

A few officials from poor families, including Xu Shu, were on the sideliness and watched this. They soon realized that this matter was beneficial to them, so they decided to wait and see the situation.

Cao Cao actually didn't care about this matter. His family was not a classic inheritance family. Guo Peng wanted to abolish his private school, Daxing official school, and he would have many benefits. At least his children would be able to learn the same things as scholars in the future, without worrying that they were not as good as scholars.

However, facing the inquiries of so many subordinates, Cao Cao also felt a headache, so he had to ask Guo Peng what was going on and quickly left the cabinet.

As a result, on the way to reach Fengtian Palace, Cao Cao met Cheng Yu, Tian Feng, Xi Zhong and other senior officials of the court. They also looked serious and nervous, and they looked like him.

It seems that no one has received any notice in advance, and no one knows what His Majesty the Emperor is going to do. He is definitely not the only one who is unclear.

After figuring this out, he breathed a sigh of relief - he thought he had been excluded from the power center again, or had done something that made Guo Peng unhappy.

Now that he even saw Guo Jia in the official group, he felt relieved.

After looking at each other with Cheng Yu with a bad face, Cao Cao approached Guo Jia anxiously.

"Fengxiao, what's going on? Why don't I know about this at all?"

"I don't know either. This incident seemed to have happened very suddenly, and no news came out before."

Guo Jia looked at a large number of officials around him in a hurry and said, "It seems that no one knows about this. Your Majesty has not communicated with anyone before doing his business. We are all the same, but... I have heard of one thing."

"What?"

Cao Cao's expression changed.

"Those families, Yuan Si, Xun You, Kong Xian and Jia Kui, seemed to have been summoned by His Majesty some time ago. I don't know what happened, and no one cared about it at that time.

As a result, today, His Majesty suddenly issued the imperial edict to various government offices, which scared everyone. So, we are all forced to come over to ask about the situation."

Guo Jia sighed for a while: "I don't know what the situation is on Your Majesty. Anyway, I really can't figure it out here. Your Majesty is really rigorous in doing things this time."

"Your Majesty has always been rigorous in his work. It seems that this matter has been planned for a long time."
