Before, Guo Peng would adopt Xun Yu's suggestion, so Xun Yu felt that Guo Peng would also adopt this time.

Xun Yu did not agree with Guo Peng's large number of people who were poor and knew only some words to be grassroots village chiefs and village heads.

He adhered to the unanimous concept of scholars in the Han Dynasty, believing that even if a poor and humble person has no virtue and cannot be reused.

Although he had not considered it deeper and had not considered the deeper class attributes, Xun Yu also disagreed.

But this time, Guo Peng looked at Xun Yu a few times and opened his mouth to say a famous saying in "Laozi".

"The way of heaven is to reduce the excess and make up for the deficiency. The way of man is not the way. If the loss is not enough to serve the excess, the family has enough wealth and reading poetry and books, will not commit crimes? During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, Ouyang She, a great scholar who was born all over the world, was executed by embezzlement of tens of millions of dollars. Did Ouyang She not read enough books?"

Xun Yu didn't know how to answer the question raised by Guo Peng for a moment.

Guo Peng stroked Xun Yu's back, shook his head, and sighed: "Wenruo, I have been studying in Luoyang for eight years, and I have met no fewer children than you. Do I see fewer people who have a lot of wealth but are still greedy?

The kind of people you are talking about do exist, but they are not universal. Greed will not change because of money and reading poetry, integrity will not change because of poverty.

What is important is not who to use, but the detailed formulation of policies, the strict implementation of the law, and the joint supervision from top to bottom. Only in this way can the people in power be cautious and dare not cross it."

Xun Yu didn't expect that what Guo Peng said made him unable to refute. He couldn't think of an argument for refuting, and he couldn't think of a refuting words, and felt that what Guo Peng said made sense.

"Ming Gong said that Yu had never thought deeply, and Yu had misconsidered his considerations. Please punish him."

Xun Yu decisively admitted his mistake to Guo Peng.

Guo Peng shook his head and held Xun Yu's hand.

"This is not Wen Ruo's fault, it is because the world is growing stronger than ever. There are not many gentlemen as sincere as Wen Ruo in the world, and there are even very few."

"Ming Gong praised him mischievously, Yu really dared not take it."

Xun Yu felt a little hot on his face.

That night, Guo Peng called Cheng Li to his study and gave him a face-to-face explanation.

"night school?"

“Yes, night school.”

Guo Peng nodded: "Although the conditions are relatively simple, I have decided to implement the policy of night school in the countryside that we can directly master."

Cheng Li was very surprised when he looked at the draft night school policy written by Guo Peng.

"this……"

"This, I had an idea before I attacked Dong Zhuo. Now I am increasingly aware of the necessity of night school. Take this one as an example. It is not enough to rely on myself.

I am not alone enough. I send patrol envoys to conduct open and secret inspections with irregular and quantitative routes from time to time. This can shock you, but it cannot solve the problem from the root and the effect is still not enough.

If we want to solve the fundamental problem, we must start from the fundamental point. In the village, in the village, and on the land, those village heads and townsmen are appointed as the rulers of each village and village, and almost control the power of life and death among farmers.

I ordered that they need to implement it, but I can't control whether they are good at implementing it alone. They secretly discounted it, violated it secretly, and used loopholes in policy to harm the common people and prevented them from having enough food. I could not find out in time.

In the end, the common people suffered and I was blamed. The common people and I lost both. The people who made the profit were these people. The common people were unable to eat enough and wanted to rebel. Isn’t this how the Yellow Turban thieves grew and grew stronger?

I farmed in order to prevent the Yellow Turban Thief from continuing to grow up, but now this problem has only happened and people have died. If this continues, the Yellow Turban Thief will appear again in the villages of farming. Is my original intention meaningful?

At that time, I will fight the world ahead and the people in the rear rise up, without taking care of each other, can I still achieve my goals and achieve my pursuit? No, I must stabilize the rear and turn it into my most reliable base camp. Therefore, night school must be opened!"

Cheng Li frowned and thought hard, thinking that what Guo Peng said made sense, but what is the direct connection between opening night schools and rectifying the military farming policy?

"Lord, is there any connection between night school and farming strategies?"

Cheng Li couldn't figure it out.

“Of course there is.”

Guo Peng nodded decisively: "If you don't let these rural emperors harm the common people as you wish, the best way is not to supervise me personally, but to let the common people supervise spontaneously. I want to change the content of the farming strategy and teach the common people how to counter the illegal village leaders.

But if the common people are illiterate, do not understand the truth, and only know how to farm and eat and rebel, this policy cannot be implemented and meaningless. They are illiterate, and I have no way to do it. I must make them illiterate and understand the truth."

Cheng Li was very surprised.

"The lord wants the civilians to supervise and counter the head of the countryside? The lord...has he read the Mohist books?"

After Cheng Li said this, Guo Peng then remembered that some of the Mohist ideas about grassroots rural organizations coincided with his own ideas.

"That's right, I think this may not be a solution. It's just that the Mohist theory emphasizes autonomy too much. I don't agree with it like this. I think we should let the two sides restrain each other.

If the leader of the countryside is not allowed to be a local emperor, the countryside cannot be like an independent kingdom, and ignore the government's policies. No matter which side is too strong, it will ultimately be unfavorable to the country."

Guo Peng's hands were circling around, and Cheng Li's head was a little unresponsive.

But it doesn't matter. Cheng Li understood what Guo Peng wants to do and what he wants to achieve.

Mutual restraint, checks and balances.

After thinking about this, Cheng Li immediately understood.

However, this is the emperor's art. I didn't expect that my lord wanted to use the emperor's art now?

It's really a talented person who is suitable for becoming a king and an emperor.

Cheng Li sighed quite a bit.

Therefore, among the newly formulated policies, in addition to patrols with irregular and quantitative inspections, there is also a policy of opening night schools.

It is stipulated that the village chief of each village should spend about an hour teaching the villagers to read after the sun sets and stops farming.

There is no entertainment or electricity these days. After the sun sets, people go home to sleep, and their sleep time is far beyond that of modern people.

Of course, they really have nothing else to do, and they can use a lot of free time at night.

Even if you can only recognize one word a day, you should teach them to recognize words. Including the number of words the villagers recognize in their performance appraisal has become a very important link.

The same is true for farmers. If you know more words, you can reduce the amount of food you pay for yourself.

Guo Peng also considered the whole process.

Considering the constraints of the actual situation, Guo Peng chose to use stone slabs and stone pens to mobilize the army to quarre, adopt large stones, and grind one side of the stonemason to polish it to a relatively flat surface, and then transport it to each village and hand it over to the village chief for use.

He stood the stone slabs on the open ground in the village and built a greenhouse. The village chief used stones to write on the stone slabs, writing a word every day. After the sunset rested, he lit the fire. A group of people sat around a pile of fires and sat on the open ground together.

The village chief teaches and the villagers read it, and then write it on the ground with small stones, erase it after writing, and write it for sustainable use.

In order to reduce consumption to a greater extent and save money, Guo Peng also creatively proposed the idea of ​​literacy through the fire while cooking.

Several families gathered together and cooked the rice of several families on a pile of fire. The rice was cooked here, and the village chief taught him to recognize words, which could light and cook rice without wasting wood.
