Chapter 444: Indoctrination, Education
"Brother, it's not as serious as you thought!" Li Chengsi said softly to comfort Li Chengqian.
"Is it that serious? Only after checking it, you will know. Don't worry about these things. Tell me what's going on within the Ministry of Education." After Li Chengqian said that, he looked at Li Chengsi with a gloomy look.
"Just as brother, you said, wealth is touching! Because of the success of Jingyang, everyone is now paying attention to the next pilot. We had already discussed the location before, in Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, but now some people disagree that it is yes, Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, is already very prosperous, and there is no need to open a primary school. He thinks this is a waste, but because of his leader, many people are opposing it now, and some of them are accepting bribes." Li Chengsi briefly reported to Li Chengqian.
"Can you confirm that you accept bribes?" When Li Chengqian heard someone accepting bribes, he asked Li Chengsi even more gloomy, but he was a little unbelievable, because Li Chengsi had no spy in his hands, how did he know?
"Why can't you be sure? All the gifts are delivered to my mansion. I am like this, but I think that's even more so for others. After all, I confiscate them at once." Li Chengsi said with certainty and angrily.
"I'm telling these bastards that our father is open to business. This is what they do, bribing officials and accepting bribes. I think they don't want to live anymore." Li Chengqian stood there, and his whole body was like an angry lion. Although he had thought before that as long as the business was loosened, the acceptance of bribes would inevitably be many, but what he didn't expect was that in less than a year, some people had already bribed a powerful prince of the current dynasty so arrogantly.
If this continues, will it be like the Ming Dynasty, when civil officials lose their bones and blood, and merchants treasonously treason?
It is precisely because of knowing the end of the Ming Dynasty that Li Chengqian was so angry.
However, Li Chengqian was angry, but he had not lost his mind yet, and soon he thought of a solution.
"Second, since the pilot work has been very successful, then just take a step bigger. Anyway, we will build a primary school, so let's build more, so we can build twenty primary schools in a thousand miles centered area with Xiaoguan as the center. Then, Taiyuan, Yunmeng, Qizhou, Bianliang, Qiantang, Shu County, and other places will build primary schools separately, starting from ten, and you will determine the specific amount according to the actual situation. This is your task this year. As for next year or even the next five years, your goal is to have at least ten primary schools and two middle schools in all counties in the Tang Dynasty. Do you understand?" Li Chengqian said what he thought in his heart and told Li Cheng that he would look at him.
"Brother, will this be too fast? I can understand other places, but why do we need to build so many primary schools in Xiaoguan?" After hearing this, Li Chengsi asked Li Chengqian in confusion.
"It's not just Xiaoguan and Yanmenguan, I want to do this, but there is no other reason. Since the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, many of the current passes that were originally defensive to the forces of the northern grassland have lost their effect, especially with the implementation of the Tang Dynasty's policy on the Turks, they can now be regarded as the people of the Tang Dynasty, but they are actually the people of the Tang Dynasty. If there is any benefit, they must have a share. Only in this way can they be integrated into our Tang Dynasty. It is important to know that conquering land is very simple. As long as the force is strong enough, it is enough, but to conquer a nation, the kingdom is the way to educate. As long as education can they truly integrate into us, and be truly proud of becoming a Tang Dynasty citizen." Li Chengqian saw that Li Chengsi was puzzled, so he had to patiently answer and teach him.
"Brother, if you say that, then I understand that as long as the Turks let their children learn our language, knowledge, and interests, it won't take long. As long as the first batch of students grow up, after a hundred years, it won't even need it. At the current progress, they may be integrated into us in twenty or thirty years. Brother, your trick is so high, your education, and a good education, and a good college, brother, you are so powerful." After listening to Li Chengqian's answer, Li Chengsi was so excited. At this moment, he admired Li Chengqian from the end.
"Brother is to provide an idea, and you have to complete and work hard. But you must always remember that as a teacher who teaches and educates people, character is the most important. He may not have the talent that can be learned in a great way, but he must have a heart to teach and educate people. Without this heart, he will not be able to teach students who have contributed to the Tang Dynasty. It is important to know that ten years of trees can be used to cultivate people for a hundred years. Education is endless, so when selecting teachers, character is the top priority for you to consider," Li Chengqian said to Li Chengsi with a little modest and earnest words.
"Brother, I remember everything you said. Ten years of trees and a hundred years of trees. This is really good. When I go back, I will ask Shangshu Kong to write a copy of words for me and hang it in my study. It's okay, brother, I'll leave first." After that, Li Chengsi left happily without waiting for Li Chengqian to speak.
After Li Chengqian watched Li Chengsi leave, he rushed to the Tai Chi Hall where Li Shimin was with a gloomy face.
When Li Chengsi returned to the Imperial City and the Ministry of Education's office, Kong Yingda and other officials were waiting at the door. When they saw Li Chengsi coming, they all surrounded him.
"For the sake of learning, what does the Crown Prince say?" Kong Yingda separated everyone and asked Li Chengsi.
"Teacher, Your Highness the Crown Prince was very angry after listening to my student's report, especially those who accepted other people's property. The Crown Prince said that our Ministry of Education is the person who formulates, manages and promotes education in the world. We accept other people's property in this way, and we have the character of being a literati. If we take the lead in acting, then the following teachers will follow the example. The Crown Prince also said that as teachers and educators, we should uphold good character. Only by having good character can we educate talents who are useful to the Tang Dynasty. You must know that ten years of trees can we build people in a century." Facing Kong Yingda's question, Li Chengsi first respectfully saluted Kong Yingda with the etiquette of his disciples, and then he gave what Li Chengqian said just now and his own understanding to everyone present.
When the people present heard Li Chengsi say that Li Chengqian was very angry at their acceptance of other people's property, he felt a little frustrated. Although he was very scared, he was a little dissatisfied. However, when he heard Li Chengsi say that those who teach and educate people should have a good character, they could teach talents useful to the Tang Dynasty and that, when ten years of trees were only to be able to be trained for a hundred years, the people who had received other people's property were all ashamed, and even more, they knelt down, shouted that they had made mistakes, and then left in a daze.
"Crown Prince, I have great talent. I have ten years of trees and a hundred years of talent. It's wonderful, it's wonderful. The prince's explanation is really wonderful." After hearing this, Kong Yingda stood there regardless of what others said, and said loudly, and laughed loudly after saying that.
