  Chapter 163 Enlightenment teacher

   Jixia Academy was founded by King Qi Wei during the Warring States Period.

  In the beginning, the original intention of the rulers of Qi State to establish Jixia Academy was just to recruit talents and consolidate their own rule.

   But Jixia Academy does not ask about background, and does not distinguish between high and low. No matter who enters the Jixia Academy, they can freely express their academic ideas, and the system that anyone has the opportunity to study in it has once broken the monopoly of the nobles on knowledge.

Therefore.

  The former Jixia Academy once promoted the prosperity of the culture of the entire Central Plains, and also became an academic center where a hundred schools of thought contended.

  It's a pity that the essence of Jixia Academy is ultimately a tool for the rulers of Qi to consolidate their power. As Qi's national strength gradually grows, the tool will naturally be abandoned after it loses its function.

  Although there is still the former site of Jixia Academy in Qi State, it basically exists in name only.

Obviously, when Mr. Mo said that he wanted to 'reopen' the Jixia Academy, he did not really want to reopen the Jixia Academy in Qi State, but to build another one that has the same characteristics as the former Jixia Academy. ·····

No.

   It is even a larger academy than the former Jixia Academy.

   And his purpose naturally cannot be as simple as disseminating academics and cultivating talents.

   As I said before, if we want to develop the cultural strength of a country, we must first solve two problems.

  One is to break the monopoly.

  The second is to solve the communication problem.

   Now that there is a 'blank paper', the second problem is no longer a problem.

  If Mr. Mo now builds another academy similar to Jixia Academy, then even the first problem will be solved.

  This result sounds beautiful.

   But the problem is that those with vested interests will not let such an academy be built so easily.

  Why is there a referral system?

  The existence of the election system is actually to allow those high-level nobles to completely monopolize all upper-level resources. Under such a system, these nobles can guarantee that their descendants will always be nobles.

   Among all these upper-level resources, 'knowledge' is undoubtedly one of the most important resources.

   "Mo Qing really wants to do this?"

  Ying Zheng, who saw Mo Jun's thoughts, looked a little dignified.

  Although Ying Zheng had already vaguely sensed that Mo Jun might make a big move when Mo Jun took out the 'blank paper', this courage was still somewhat beyond Ying Zheng's expectations.

   But what Yingzheng admires more is Mo Jun's mind. You know, if this kind of academy really develops, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for Yingzheng, the ruler.

  Because this means that Ying Zheng will no longer be constrained by those 'clan groups'.

   But by comparison.

  This may not be a good thing for Mo Jun.

  Because Mo Jun, the Great Qin Shengping Lord, is now one of the vested interests in the "knowledge monopoly".

"yes!"

  Mr. Mo’s answer was concise and to the point.

   Don’t Mr. Mo know the benefits of ‘knowledge monopoly’ to him? Of course he is clear, but he also knows that if the Qin State wants to develop further, then such a 'knowledge monopoly' must be abolished.

  The most important point is that the original intention of Mr. Mo inventing the 'white paper' and proposing to reopen the 'Jixia Academy' is actually not as noble as Yingzheng wanted.

  The reason Mo Jun did this is actually very simple.

   is for revenge.

  After the "Jin Youjun case" happened before, more than 70% of the courtiers in the court of Qin State jointly took the opportunity to give him a backstab.

   It has been more than a month now.

  Those people may have almost forgotten about this incident, but Mr. Mo remembered it clearly.

  He has always been a small-minded person.

   Generally, if there is a grudge, it will often be reported back within one night.

   But this time, Mo Jun endured for more than a month, the purpose is to give these guys a big one, so that they can have a long memory.

  This time is different from the past.

  After offending Mo Jun in the past, Mo Jun's revenge would be to kill a few people at most, and if it is more serious, he would ransack his family and destroy his family.

  But this time, although Mo Jun didn't kill anyone, his behavior was digging the roots of those noble forces.

   Moreover, the academy that Mo Jun wants to open is not that simple. Even Ying Zheng probably only thinks that Mo Jun opened the academy to break the "knowledge monopoly" of the nobility.

   However actually.

  What Mr. Mo really wants to do is to overthrow the current "election system" of the entire Qin State.

  However, this matter needs to be carried out step by step, so there is no need to worry too much for the time being.

  Ying Zheng didn't know what Mo Jun was thinking now, but he had to admit that after listening to Mo Jun's suggestion just now, his heart was indeed moved.

  Moser held the book in his hand with one hand, and a pair of deep eyes flickered again and again.

   After a while.

   Ying Zheng slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again, as if he had made some kind of decision. Suddenly, there was a majesty that belonged to the emperor, and he said solemnly.

   "Where does Qing Mo plan to build the academy?"

   "What does your majesty think?"

"Although the widow also wants to set up the academy in Xianyang, it's a pity...Since this matter was mentioned by Mo Qing, the site of the academy should be located in Hanzhong! The widow will send a guard to guard the academy later. During the construction period, anyone who dares to make trouble can be killed."

   When he said the last four words 'everyone can be killed', a cold look suddenly flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

  With the power in hand, Qin's national power is flourishing day by day, and Ying Zheng's gestures and gestures today are more and more dignified by the "Emperor Qin". Once a decision is made, there will be no hesitation.

   "The minister takes orders." Mo Jun clasped his hands and saluted.

"in addition······"

   At this moment, I only heard Ying Zheng's tone change, and then his face softened a little. He looked at Mo Jun and said, "Since Mo Qing plans to establish an academy, I also have one thing I want to ask Mo Qing."

  Mr. Mo quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty just said so."

   Ying Zheng nodded, and said: "The widow's eldest son, Fusu, has reached the age of enlightenment. The widow intends to let Mo Qing become Fusu's first teacher. I wonder if Mo Qing can agree?"

  Speaking of which, this matter is actually a decision that Ying Zheng just made.

  As the eldest son of Yingzheng, he will be the future successor of the Qin State without accident. The enlightenment of the eldest son Fusu is naturally a top priority for the Qin State.

   According to the past practice, the teachers who enlightened the prince of Qin are generally famous scholars in the world.

  Chun Yuyue was Ying Zheng's favorite candidate before.

   Chunyu Yue was born in Qi State.

  Like Fu Nian, both of them are famous Confucian scholars. Even in terms of reputation and knowledge alone, Chunyu Yue's knowledge may be higher than Fu Nian.

  In today's world, I am afraid that it is second only to the 'Xunzi' who has retired from Xiaoshengxianzhuang.

   Moreover, Chunyu Yuexin joined the Qin Kingdom not long ago, his wealth is clean, and he doesn't have much influence in the court. If he is Fusu's first teacher, he is a very suitable candidate.

  But when Mr. Mo just mentioned the matter of 'establishing an academy', Ying Zheng suddenly realized that there was obviously a more suitable candidate in front of him.

   In just one year, the impoverished place of Hanzhong can be governed day by day, and the well-organized Mr. Mo can teach a child the enlightenment, it must not be a problem.

   And compared to Chun Yuyue, Fu Su can learn more from Mo Jun.

   The only flaw.

  Probably because Mo Jun is too powerful now, it is not a good thing for the eldest son of Qin to contact a court minister like Mo Jun prematurely.

  But in the end, Ying Zheng chose to trust Mo Jun.

  Being able to become the teacher of Qin's next successor is undoubtedly a great thing for any courtier of Qin.

However, after listening to what Yingzheng said, Mr. Mo did show hesitation and said: "Going back to the king, it's not that I don't want to teach Mr. Shang, but I'm a refugee who doesn't understand literature. If I let my minister come to teach Mr. Shang, I will I'm afraid it will delay Mr. Shang."

   As soon as the words came out.

   Not to mention Ying Zheng, even Ge Nie, who was always face paralyzed beside him, couldn't help dilating his pupils slightly, and looked at Mo Jun in disbelief.

   Unable to understand literature?

   Don't you feel guilty when you say this from the mouth of the "Sheng Ping Jun" of Daqin?

  Ying Zheng was also obviously shocked by Mo Jun's words, he squirmed his lips a few times, but in the end he didn't know what to say.

   "It's okay, it's just enlightenment. It doesn't need to cost Mo Qing much knowledge, it only needs Mo Qing to 'understand' this."

   When it came to the last word "slightly understand", Ying Zheng obviously accentuated a little.

  ······

   "Mr. Zhao, my lord, dinner is ready."

  Hei Yu's voice came from outside the door at the right time. Hearing this, Mo Jun immediately turned his head to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we have dinner first?"

"Okay! I've heard that there are a lot of delicacies in Mr. Shengping's mansion. The 'stir-fried vegetables' and 'exotic vegetables' that are all the rage in Xianyang are all made by Mr. Shengping. It seems that I have something to eat today! "

   Ying Zheng replied with a smile.

  Mr. Mo stretched out his hand and said falsely, "Mr. Zhao please."

  The Mo Mansion’s dinner has always been in the dining hall, because there are so many people in the Mo Mansion, so Mr. Mo specially asked the Gongshu family to build a huge rectangular dining table.

  However, there are not many people eating in Mo Mansion today, because recently, many people have something to go out.

   For example: Xiong Da, Xiong Da.

  In addition, Yuenv left during Mo Jun's confinement, and has not returned yet.

  Originally, many people in the Mo Mansion were worried about Yuenu's whereabouts. It wasn't until the other party replied to a letter not long ago, telling everyone that she would need to go out for a while, that everyone was relieved.

besides.

  The three masters and apprentices of Yaogui and Jian Linger have also entered the critical moment of their respective retreats.

   Fortunately, Ying Zheng is going on tour this time in micro-services, so during this period, there are slightly fewer people eating in the Mo Mansion, which may be a good thing instead.

   Today's dinner was quite sumptuous after knowing that Ying Zheng was coming, Mo Jun specially ordered the kitchen.

  When Ying Zheng walked into the dining hall, his expression was normal at first, but when he saw all kinds of fruits and vegetables on the dining table, his eyes suddenly widened a bit.
