"Then what should we do? We don't want to study at home anymore... we want to go out and have fun." Liu Cong said aggrievedly.
"Well, how about I talk to your mother first, and then arrange for you to go to school?" Liu Tao didn't intend to disappoint them, so he planned to talk to Cai Yan and Ren Hongchang first.
The other children are only three years old (false years old), and they are still just babbling. This is not urgent, but the eldest son and daughter of the emperor are already seven years old, and they should indeed receive some formal education.
The guidance education in the past few years is still very good, or Cai Yan's education is also very good at home.At least the two of them respected themselves very much, and they didn't make a fuss when they heard the words, and left obediently.
It's just that Liu Tao could tell that he wasn't very emotional, obviously because he didn't agree to him (her) right away...
"The child wants to go to school..." When he came to the house and saw Cai Yan who was coaxing Liu Zhi to sleep, Liu Tao said in a low voice after confirming that it was all right.
"They've been arguing about this for the past two days, have you forgotten?" Cai Yan asked rhetorically.
"I guess I'm too busy. I always feel like this year has passed by suddenly, as if someone stole it. I don't remember many things clearly." Liu Tao said apologetically. .
"You are a good emperor, and a good emperor has too many things to deal with." Cai Yan said softly, the situation of the big man is getting better every year, especially the people of Jinyang, the life of the people is getting better every year , which made her very relieved.
Liu Tao is just as promised at the beginning, he is doing his best to go to Sanxing Yanhan.Absolutely not, in order to be the emperor and enjoy the supreme power, he said casually to fool people.
At least, as far as she knew, those who ascended to the throne as emperors, such as the Southern Han and Shu Han, or even the Zhong family or the Qi State, even if their emperors did not extort money, they did not make their people live better than before.
Externally, it is basically because the world has not yet settled down, and the main focus should be on recovering the country.
It's okay if there is no comparison. Look at the current big man, how well Liu Tao manages the existing country while fighting the country?Whether it is public security or people's livelihood, whether it is transportation or sanitation, as far as Jinyang is concerned, it is changing day by day.
"It's difficult for a good emperor to be a good father and a good husband..." Liu Tao stretched out his hand and stroked Cai Yan's cheek.
"You are already gentler than many husbands and more competent than many fathers." Cai Yan replied tenderly.
"Let's not talk about that first." Liu Tao smiled, "What do you plan to do about the child going to school?"
"What's your husband's plan?" Cai Yan replied. Originally, after Liu Tao succeeded to the throne, she should call herself Your Majesty and call herself 'Concubine'.But at Liu Tao's request, she still used "husband" to address Liu Tao.
"It's nothing more than two ways. If you think about it, we can do it together." Liu Tao thought for a while, "First, choose an empty room in the palace, arrange some children of the courtiers to come over, and specially select a few mentors to enlighten them. In this way Then you can study hard, and on the one hand, you also have playmates, especially you can train your own team.
The second is to establish an aristocratic school, not only with high tuition fees, but also ordinary people, at least ordinary people with poor grades, are not allowed to enroll.The school's security work should be done better, and most of the identities are different, so it can be safer. "
"These two methods can indeed be implemented together." Cai Yan nodded. For the prince, going to school with others is not only for experiencing life, but also for building his own network.
She also recommends that her children go to school. After all, she has been locked at home and has no way to form her own network.Not everyone is eligible to enter this house.
But the child is not the child of ordinary people, the prince has been very special since he was born.Not only do you have to take care of it carefully so as not to die young, but you also have to be more careful than ordinary people about all kinds of malice that come with it on the way of growth.
Putting it in a school for ordinary people, not to mention other students, would probably be very cautious, and they would not be able to cultivate any useful contacts.Just say that the security work over there is a little bit worse, but something big will happen.
Anyway, for now, what Cai Yan hopes most is to bring up a few children safely, and at the same time, just in case, to have a few more, so as to be safe.
"Since you don't object, then that's it. Later, I will discuss with the officials and select a few mentors. But then again, do you want the queen to be a mentor? At least I think you are absolutely qualified." Liu Tao suggested.
"Concubine?" Cai Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said unconfidently, "It's not very good, is it?"
Chapter 593
"It is said that parents are children's first teachers, and it's not that the queen has never been a teacher before." Seeing Cai Yan's surprised look, Liu Tao patted her hand.
After a pause, he continued: "Before the construction of the Noble Academy is completed, I hope to open a class with only about 30 students. Let's start with the four subjects of literacy, numeracy, martial arts, and archery, and then open other classes in succession. In terms of literacy, I hope that the queen will be the teacher, and also the head teacher of this class, so I can help you keep an eye on the progress of each subject."
"Obviously there are so many great Confucians, why do you need courtiers and concubines to teach them?" Cai Yan was still not confident.
"First of all, I don't want them to mix private goods in the process of teaching. No matter what school of thought, if it can't influence me, it will focus on the prince. In the end, all the princes may represent a theory. The battle for successor will eventually It has developed into a proxy dispute between schools, hmph, they are so bold to use the royal family as a place where schools fight!" Liu Tao replied.
I used to read novels, movies, and historical documents, and if I knew it, I knew it. No one cared so much.Now that it concerns me, the problem is naturally much more serious.
The most important thing is Confucianism, which deserves to be the existence of "Confucianism". At least the brainwashing of benevolence, filial piety and etiquette can make a child limping.
The bad thing is that most of the Confucianism these days starts with "Zuoshi Chunqiu".Moreover, some private goods will be added, and it will be spoken out as a historical novel.
Children themselves lack toys and means of entertainment, so of course they will be attracted by the words, and if they take the opportunity to instill some Confucian ideas, no one can fail to be attracted.
Thinking of this, Liu Tao even felt that he could consider going to the Ministry of Rites and edit a copy of "The Romance of the Eastern Han Dynasty". How cool it is, as an enlightenment, first hang the child's mind, and don't be so easily fooled by Confucianism.
"Your Majesty still seems to have a lot of concerns about Confucianism?" Cai Yan tried to ask.
"Although I regard myself as the son of Gongyang, I only like some of his academics. But I think that no matter what the school is, if it is valuable, it can be used for me. Only by gathering the strengths of a hundred schools can I find the right path." Liu Tao replied. , "And now that I am the emperor, all academic schools should be used by me, not a certain school. Which school's academic is useful to the royal family, whoever's theory should be used."
In the final analysis, the way of governing the country is nothing more than advancing with the times and adapting measures to local conditions.There has never been an academic that can be used for a lifetime, or even forever. It is said that the words of Confucius are outdated in modern times.
Otherwise, the wolf spirit and the wolf totem have no soil for survival at all. It can only be said that in a certain period, there will be some kind of thoughts and academics that conform to the times and people's hearts, even if they are wrong or biased.
The reason why the country spends so much money to support these scholars is nothing more than that they can have ideas suitable for the current values at any time.From the eight honors and eight disgraces to the core values, it is actually the same thing.
Let’s not say whether ordinary people recognize it or not, but at least let more people who want to know where the right path is, know a right direction.There are always two sides to human nature. The country is at most to guide, and there is no way to force who must do what.
That kind of situation appears more in dystopian movies. Unfortunately, most of the governments that do that are basically villains in this kind of movie.
"Your Majesty always pays attention to pragmatism." Cai Yan smiled sweetly. Didn't she know Liu Tao's personality after all these years together?All schools of thought are false, and Liu Tao is a pure utilitarian.
In fact, such utilitarians are the most feared by the universities, especially if the emperor is a utilitarian, then he may waste a lot of national power and people's power for some illusory things.
What Liu Tao pursues is not personal small gains, but the great achievements of a nation.There are many things, even if there is nothing to see now, it is estimated that it will take several years or decades to understand his layout.
These things, in the eyes of many people, are representatives of laboring people and wasting money.It is also the entry point for countries to criticize Liu Tao.
The problem is that Liu Tao doesn't care about them at all, just because he knows very well what it will look like when these things really work.
If you discover the mystery and then follow suit, then it will be too late.And blindly following him to learn, it is estimated that you will not know how far you have gone astray in the end.
Travelers are the biggest gold fingers in themselves, and spells are more used for initial accumulation. If this thing cannot be passed on, it is destined to be inferior to science and technology.
Even if it can be passed on, Liu Tao doesn't dare to pass it on. If there is someone who can't think about it and smashes it around with meteor fire rain, it will directly set back the Chinese civilization by 500 years, or even enter the era of theocracy.
"What do you want to do if it's not practical? Tout your own great achievements, or whitewash this peaceful and prosperous world?" Liu Tao laughed, "The Ministry of Rites has become more and more proficient in that kind of touting work. Taiping, that is what the people decide. It's not up to me."
After a pause, he continued: "Speaking of which, you can't let Cong'er and Qiong'er both go to school, and you need to find some classmates for them. Is there any candidate?"
"As for the candidates...Xun You's eldest son, Xun Ji, is good. He is like a father. He was not in good health, but he has been recuperating recently; Cao Cao's second son, Cao Pi, is the same age as Cong'er and Qiong'er; Zhong Yu's eldest son, Zhong Yu, They are about the same age..." Cai Yan said slowly.
"Why are you so clear?" Seeing that Cai Yan listed almost 30 people, Liu Tao couldn't help being surprised.
"It's nothing surprising." Cai Yan smiled lightly, "Your Majesty is in charge of the world's affairs. The courtiers and concubines are in charge of the house, and the contacts are naturally the family members of all the courtiers. If you have more contacts, you will naturally know."
At the level of a queen, not everyone can see it.But those who can see are naturally the family members of important ministers.
The second generation of these courtiers is likely to become the team of their own children, so Cai Yan naturally pays attention, especially those who are about the same age, basically pay attention to them, both men and women.
Not to mention that Liu Tao allowed women to take the imperial examination, but to find a marriage partner for Cong'er and Qiong'er, that is also a trivial interest of being a mother.
Liu Tao did not expect that there would be so many people of the same age.When men and women get together, a class is completed.
