Chapter 52 The Huns Attack
"It is said that Afang Palace Academy is about to be opened... The academy will be established there, and the Jixia Academy will surpass Qi State. There, a library will be opened for people all over the world to read and borrow books!"
"King Xiang said, I wish everyone in the world is like a dragon and give all living beings the opportunity to change their destiny!"
…………
"I will build and build a statue of Confucius. There are no different teachings. I hope that all China will be the best and everyone will be like a dragon!" Xiang Yu said the plan on the main hall.
In the palace, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Xiao He, Chen Ping, Zhang Cang, Cao Shen and others sat upright.
Talk about the next plan.
The so-called plan means no plan.
In the future, industrialization should be developed and the national economy should be improved. The country should strive to accumulate finances and the country should strive to develop GDP.
However, in the early days of the Great Chu Dynasty, there was no need to develop industrialization, no need to do a five-year plan, no need to develop national defense industry, no need to accumulate national finance, no need to encourage people to consume to promote economic development, and no need to develop finance.
There were about 400,000 troops in the center, most of which were disbanded and returned home to farm. There were only less than 50,000 troops in Guanzhong.
As for other vassal states, the army was disbanded one after another. The large vassal states left more than 10,000 troops, while the small vassal states were only a few hundred to more than 1,000.
Military expenditures have been greatly reduced.
Large-scale disarmament!
The army is mainly on the border and the key points.
He also stationed in Chang'an City.
Of course, once the army enters a state of war, it can gather more than 500,000 troops in just one month.
In later generations, Western countries learned the overall war in World War I and World War II; but China was too precocious and entered the total war era directly in the Warring States Period.
The national policy is mainly about rest and recuperation, mainly because the government collects less money, fights less, and engages less corvee. It encourages the people to reclaim more land and have more children.
Let many nobles release slaves, increase the number of free people, and increase the number of middle and lower-level people.
At the same time, Afang Palace Academy was opened and the Royal Library was opened to attract scholars from the middle and upper classes.
As long as scholars are not in chaos and the people at the bottom are not in chaos, the country will not be in chaos.
"Your Majesty, sage!"
Everyone said in unison.
"Your Majesty, the college student, how are the treatment?" Zhang Liang asked.
"Everything is based on military robes and linens as school uniforms, and reject luxury. As for food, it is slightly improved...reject luxury!" Xiang Yu said firmly: "College students are studying, seeking knowledge and heaven and earth, seeking knowledge from their predecessors...not to enjoy it. In the past, the Seven Kingdoms Academy was too luxurious...extreme! Even the sons of kings, princes, generals and ministers, the same is true..."
Later generations, Tsinghua and Peking University allocated a lot of funds every year, but they did not cultivate too many talents for China. Many talents stayed in foreign countries and did not come back.
What is the use of such talents, such schools?
Is it possible to become a leader at a critical moment?
"This... is too much!" Zhang Liang said.
"After looking at the predecessors' countries and families, they are formed by diligence and thrift, and they are extravagant. How did Qin fall? It seems that Qin II died, but in fact it was caused by Qin Shihuang!"
"After Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms in one fell swoop, the world was invincible, Dugu Qiu was defeated and could not find an opponent, so he went away. Build the Afang Palace and build the tomb of Mount Li... Life was very luxurious, so the Qin Dynasty was over!"
"As long as Qin Shihuang is less extravagant and wasteful, the Qin Dynasty will not be destroyed in less than twenty years! Those who destroy Qin are not the six countries, not our Xiangji, but the Qin State itself!"
Everyone recalled that their minds were ups and downs. Most of the people here had experienced the prosperity of the First Emperor, destroyed the six kingdoms, and saw the destruction of Qin. They couldn't help but say in unison: "Promise!"
"The college will establish a strict assessment system... with etiquette as the foundation, Confucius' Confucianism as the basis... to realize a five-year academic system... closed management, only five days a month, you can leave the college..."
Xiang Yu talked about the education plan.
There is no hope for developing industrialization.
Industrialization is to resist foreign enemies.
But now, the so-called enemy, even the Huns, is not worth fearing.
It is meaningless to develop industrialization. Just make plate armor and knives, but as for making muskets and cannons, it is meaningless, so don’t just need to be made.
The only hope is to create a university in the true sense... it is not a university with a reputation as Tsinghua University and Peking University.
The realization of closed management is like a military academy or a military camp. The food on campus is free, but it is not luxurious or exquisite, it is mainly nutrition and simplicity.
There is also a free library that allows a large number of scholars to borrow.
First of all, we must gather hundreds of talents and compile textbooks, mainly Confucianism, and be compatible with Legalists, Confucianism outside and law inside.
Secondly, a dictionary must be compiled to improve the literacy rate.
Third, we must prepare agricultural books to increase agricultural output.
In short, there are two main points: one is the people’s rest and recuperation, and the other is the development of education.
Unfortunately, the financial resources are limited, and the cost of developing education these days is very high.
At least there are dozens of acres of land in the family, who belong to the rich peasant class, so they are qualified to study. Don’t look at Liu Bang as a commoner, but according to the class composition, they belong to the rich peasant or even a small landlord.
As for the vast majority of poor people, they have no solution to their food and clothing, and they are simply unable to study.
"Nine years of compulsory education cannot be achieved...three years of compulsory education...it seems to be impossible. It can only be a one-year compulsory education, with fewer and more precise content, and you must learn the 99 arithmetic table, a summary of thirteen famous articles, and a literacy of three hundred!"
A year of compulsory education is a bit simple, but when you have no money, it is not a solution.
In a year of compulsory education, three goals must be achieved. First, memorize the arithmetic table of ninety-nine and know the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; second, memorize thirteen famous chapters; third, learn literacy for three hundred.
As for the thirteen famous chapters, they are excerpted from the excellent chapters of the Hundred Schools.
As for the first article, it is naturally his work by Emperor Taizu of Chu.
The content of the work has been thought out: "I am a Chinese, I love his country, Yan Emperor Huang Emperor is my ancestor, I am not in the world, I am the country of the Heavenly Kingdom..."
It is about 300 words, with a small number of words and easy to remember.
It ranks first in the chapter and is a must-read book for students.
Everyone was talking and finally determined the college's constitution.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two years passed again. On this day, the war horses were ringing, and an emergency military message came, "The Huns went south, plundered the north, and took away 100,000 people!"
Emergency military information is coming!
Xiang Yu immediately summoned many ministers, and the ministers gathered together.
"Your Majesty, in the past, Li Mu defeated the 100,000 troops of the Huns, and Meng Tian could defeat the Huns... My minister Han Xin is not talented, and he is willing to lead 100,000 troops to defeat the Huns!" At this time, King Han Xin of Chu spoke.
"Your Majesty, fight!" Long Qi said.
When other generals went, the other generals also spoke one after another.
When it comes to the Huns, no one takes the Huns seriously.
Li Mu of Zhao State defeated 100,000 Xiongnu just by relying on one Dai County; even in the Warring States Period, Yan State, which was known as a weak chicken, defeated Donghu and plundered thousands of miles.
Meng Tian even defeated the Huns, but he was thousands of miles away.
Before Liu Bang's siege, the Han people did not lose to the barbarians.
