Straight man of steel

Chapter 276

This Wuqiu Shouwang was Liu Che's literary attendant when Zhang Yuan first became a Lang official.

The status is the same as Sima Xiangru, and he often goes out to play and hunt with Liu Che. Zhang Yuan should have met him a few times, but he didn't pay much attention to him when he looked down on Zhang Yuan, and he didn't think about the difference in status today. There will be shifts.

"Your Majesty has seen the Taixue Order, and His Majesty asked the Xiaguan to bring the list of talents recommended by the counties and counties, and said that he was awarded the Taixue Order.

These people are the first students of Taixue, and they will be enrolled in Taixue one after another within the next month.

The next official is here to help Taixueling and manage the enrollment of these students. "

"Have you ever studied scriptures?"

Zhang Yuan took the list without looking at it, but asked directly to King Wuqiu Shou.

"Your Majesty has never studied Confucianism, and neither has Meigao, the county magistrate of Du County. This is why His Majesty sent us here."

King Wuqiu Shou not only made his own position clear, but also made Meigao's position clear. (King Wuqiu Shou should have studied "Spring and Autumn" with Dong Zhongshu after 130 BC, and Liu Che ordered him to study it. There should be no Confucian classics involved at this time.)
Zhang Yuan had to ask this question. Officials in the Taixue must not be involved in the struggles among various schools of thought, let alone the division of interests within Confucianism.

"How many people are on the list?"

"A total of 430 people."

"Did your Majesty say that there are only five Ph.D. students like Han Ying and the others? How should the students be distributed?"

King Wuqiu Shou suddenly smiled, cupped his hands and said to Zhang Yuan.

"Your Majesty really understands Taixue Lingzhi's personality, His Majesty has already guessed these things.

Your Majesty said that if the imperial edict asks this question, I will ask your subordinates to tell you that your majesty will not interfere with any matters within the imperial academy.

And I also said that if someone intervenes, Tai Xueling will definitely be the same as before. Once he lies on the chair, he doesn't care about anything. "

"Your Majesty means that I have absolute autonomy?"

"Yeah, except for the appointment of officials, all matters in the Imperial Academy are under the control of the Imperial Academy Order.

If there is no effect after one year, His Majesty said that he can tolerate it for another year. If there is no effect in two years, he will not let go of the Taixue Order. After all, the emperor has to give the world an account of the two-year consumption. "

Zhang Yuan went through the list, calculating everything in his mind.

After thinking about what Liu Che wanted and what Liu Che didn't want, it was actually not difficult to think about, so Zhang Yuan soon felt that two years was enough.

"Okay, it's just the two of us now.

What do you think, you can talk about it. "

Zhang Yuan felt that King Wuqiu Shou could not be an incompetent person, since he came here, he definitely wanted to make a career.

"The lower official feels that if there are only five doctors as teachers, the Taixue will definitely not develop in a year or two.

We should add more Taixue teaching assistants. In order to avoid the objections of those Ph.D. students, all Taixue teaching assistants should be their original students.

In this way, the pressure on the doctors of the Five Classics is much less, and their students can also improve. "

Zhang Yuan also thinks this method is very good, similar to the method that seniors who started early lead their juniors to learn first. This method has been around since the Spring and Autumn Period, but later the study of Confucianism gradually declined, and there were not many students of Confucianism. , it gradually disappeared.

"Okay, you can discuss with the other doctors later. Since there are more than [-] new students, each doctor will send out five teaching assistants."

"Your Majesty, let's do it."

"and many more."

"Does the Taixue Order have any other orders?"

"Is there Luo Xiahong's name on this list?"

"Which county does Luo Xiahong come from?"

Zhang Yuan thought about it, Luo Xiahong was either from Shu County or Berkshire, and it was impossible to recommend him in other places.

"Berkshire or Shu County."

"The Tai Xueling will give the list to the subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials will check it."

After speaking, Zhang Yuan gave the list in his hand to King Wuqiu Shou.

King Wuqiu Shou took a look, frowned, rolled up the list again, and shook his head.

"Tai Xue Ling, this person's name is not on this list."

Zhang Yuan also looked ugly.

The ancients divided the classes of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen. It would be even more difficult for Zhang Yuan to set up teaching places for medicine and agriculture in Taixue.

But Zhang Yuan thought that even if medicine and agriculture could not be set up, astronomy, mathematics, and history should be established.

These three schools of thought have nothing to do with Confucian classics and will not be attacked by Confucianism, but they can play a great role in the continuation and development of the country.

Astronomy and mathematics must be led by Luo Xiahong, because Zhang Yuan doesn't know anyone else, especially mathematics. The old marquis Zhang Cang in the front is dead, and Zhang Heng in the back will not be born for hundreds of years.

As long as Luo Xiahong can come, he must know someone who is proficient in arithmetic, and he himself is not low in mathematics.

In ancient times, astronomy and mathematics were inseparable.

As for historians, Zhang Yuan can't count on Sima Qian now, but Sima Qian's father Sima Tan can still be used.

In this way, astronomy, mathematics and history can all be established within Taixue.

"Send someone to travel starry nights to Shu County and Ba County to find this person. This person has studied in Wenweng's Shishi, so it is not difficult to find.

I once met him in Shu County. If the person sent there mentioned my name, he should come to Chang'an. "

"Okay, Xiaguan, I will find someone to go to Shu County and Berkshire to find someone."

Wuqiu Shouwang didn't ask why he did things, and Zhang Yuan's affection for him increased greatly in just a short while.

It seems that King Wuqiu Shou and Meigao are both practical people. Liu Che sent these two people to Du County, which gave Zhang Yuan a sense of reassurance.

King Wuqiu Shou went down to do some work, and Zhang Yuan planned to go to Chang'an.

There was no other reason, I just wanted to meet Sima Tan, and then trick Sima Qian into joining the Imperial Academy.

Although Sima Qian is too young to be able to go to school, it is not impossible to go to school.

Zong Xing and the others were still working under Mei Gao, so Zhang Yuan had no choice but to ride his horse towards Chang'an.

The distance between Du County and Chang'an is not far, which is one of the things that Zhang Yuan is most satisfied with. It takes less than an hour to get there by riding a fast horse.

Now that Sima Tan is serving as Taishi Lingyi, Sima Qian should also come to his father from his hometown.

The official residence of Taishiling is in Jianzhang Palace, which belongs to Taichang, and is in charge of astronomy, calendar, and history writing.

It can be said that Sima Tan alone has great attainments in astronomy, calendar, and historiography, and as far as Zhang Yuan knows, because of Sima Tan's research on historiography, he is actually the person who knows the most about various schools of thought at this time , if Sima Tan can be invited, Taixue has a backbone.
