Chapter 335
Sima Guang is a very principled person, and he will never let Zhang Fei do anything wrong just because he values Zhang Fei more. When he first heard about this, he was also very annoyed, thinking that this kid was lawless.
You, a businessman in your 20s, want to change the country's education through donations. This is simply the most serious act of bribery.
It is not too much to kill.
Confucianism really attaches great importance to education.
But he heard that Zhang Fei's purpose was to donate to litigation studies, so he felt that this was understandable, it was indeed a charity.
Because as far as judicial reform is concerned, the current imperial court really needs to train more judicial talents. Although the Song Dynasty has always attached great importance to laws and regulations, it is stipulated that after officials enter official positions, they must first learn laws and regulations. However, due to the emergence of procuratorates and police stations, litigation The status of learning has become very important.
It is necessary to use the rigid laws flexibly.
As far as this is concerned, Zhang Fei is absolutely capable of participating in the compilation of litigation textbooks.
The key point is that Sima Guang originally planned to ask him to help.
As Zhang Fei himself said, he contributed both money and effort to serve the country wholeheartedly.
However, Sima Guang, who was cautious, did not immediately open his eyes to Zhang Fei. He still had to discuss it with the ministers.
Can this precedent be set?
It is possible to ask Zhang Fei to provide assistance in litigation education, or even directly let Zhang Fei work in the Imperial College, but this is not possible.
After all, this method has never been used before.
Sima Guang was already very cautious, and he would never make a rash judgment.
"Oh Grand Master Wang?"
Zhang Fei, who had just been kicked out by the court, met Wang Anshi on the way.
"You kid can really make a fuss."
When Wang Anshi saw Zhang Fei, he laughed.
The limelight of the New Deal was once taken away by Zhang Fei. Recently, things have finally returned to the right track. The court and the Central Committee have been debating the New Deal. Wang Anshi also thought that there must be nothing wrong with Zhang Fei during this period, but he never thought about it. Zhang Fei Come up with this kind of thing again.
Immediately attracted the attention to the past.
Zhang Fei immediately said with an aggrieved face: "I went through fire and water for Grand Master Wang, and Grand Master Wang still laughs at me, what a cruel world!"
Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "You have to give evidence for what you say, and this matter has nothing to do with me."
He was very surprised when he heard this before.
I was also shocked by this kid's behavior.
Good guy!
This face-to-face meeting directly turned the pot over. You must know that Zhang Fei treated Sima Guang like this last time.
He will not be easily fooled.
"I'm not talking nonsense."
Zhang Fei explained: "Doesn't Master Wang know why so many ministers in the DPRK oppose the new policy? Are they really all for their own self-interest?"
Wang Anshi frowned slightly, and asked, "Then why did you say that?"
Zhang Fei said: "Since ancient times, benevolence and righteousness have been advocated first, but the new policy of Master Wang puts great profit first. They will naturally oppose it. This is more of a dispute of ideas."
Wang Anshi let out a long sigh, and said with emotion: "The bad governance of the country all stems from profit. If you don't pay attention to profit, how can you prescribe the right medicine to the case?"
He was deeply educated in Confucianism, doesn't he value benevolence and righteousness?
He has been an official for many years, and he is alone. When he was an official in a local area, he also benefited one party. His personal morality is impeccable, and his talent is rare in the world. Isn't this kind of courtier what Confucianism hopes to see?
It can be seen that he does not value benevolence and righteousness, but that he hopes to prescribe the right medicine. The country's problem is that there is no money. You can't make money by talking about benevolence and righteousness, you can only talk about money!
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "But there is no textbook that agrees with Wang Xueshi's ideas. The talents cultivated by such textbooks will only provide a steady stream of enemies for the New Deal. If it does not change, in my opinion, the death of the government will still be inevitable in the future. situation."
Wang Anshi couldn't help looking at Zhang Fei in surprise.
How could he not be aware of this problem? In fact, in history, he has reformed education. If he can succeed in this education reform, it is estimated that he can really change the direction of history.
Because he is advocating the idea of being practical and practical, having both civil and military skills, having expertise in learning, and consistent learning and application.
At the same time, he is looking for talents who can manage money and organize the army, enrich the country and strengthen the army, not those rotten Confucians who usually talk about their hearts and minds, and die to repay the king when they are in danger.
He believes that nowadays the imperial court pays too much attention to the articles, which makes the minds of the scholars bound. However, many Confucian knowledge is useless, but other useful knowledge is squeezed out, such as medicine, arithmetic, and martial arts. Even science.
During his administration, he strengthened the education of medicine, arithmetic, martial arts and other majors.
It can be seen that he is very clear about one truth, that is, education comes first in political reform.
And his problem is that he said this bluntly, and he did it like this, so the consequences are naturally predictable, the man is not dead, and the government is over.
But at this moment, Zhang Fei's words really spoke to his heart, it really coincided with what he thought!
"Why is Master Wang looking at me like this?" Zhang Fei asked pretending to be anxious.
He knew that Wang Anshi had such a plan, so he dared to say so.He and Sima Guang didn't dare to say that.
Wang Anshi closed his eyes, and asked excitedly, "I don't know what you plan to do?"
Zhang Fei explained: "My original intention is not to change the current teaching materials, but to pursue education in other fields, such as mathematics, law, medicine, martial arts, etc.
Because I think that the talent in the current court is too single. For example, in terms of finance, the talents of many officials are not as good as those of businessmen. However, the country is a very complicated structure, and it is impossible to use a single knowledge to deal with all problems. "
"Wonderful! Wonderful! How well said!"
Wang Anshi was elated when he heard it, and clapped his palms to say that it is a great pleasure to have a confidant in life, and he didn't care about making a fool of himself, so he hurriedly asked, "What did you say to Sima Jun?"
Zhang Fei said: "I just said that I intend to donate to the education of litigation. After all, this is my strong point. If I say this, it will not arouse suspicion."
After Wang Anshi heard this, he looked at Zhang Fei vigilantly again, thinking, this kid is talking nonsense to others, he is talking nonsense.
You tell Sima Guang to donate to litigation, and I tell you to donate to mathematics.
Which sentence is true.
Wang Anshi stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then suddenly sighed, "The matter of education is related to the foundation of the country. It is easy to say, but hard to do! It's no wonder you, you should protect yourself before talking about it."
The implication is that since you are talking about donating to litigation studies, then you should donate to litigation studies first.As for arithmetic and medicine, forget it.
Zhang Fei's heart is like a mirror, and the old man was actually testing himself, so he said: "If I can't achieve my goal, I might as well not donate, after all, my money didn't come from the wind."
Wang Anshi asked calmly, "I don't know what you plan to do?"
Zhang Fei said: "I believe that Bachelor Sima will definitely support me. Our Dasong Charity Foundation will donate to Guozijian to increase litigation subjects, and this will be of great help to Bachelor Sima's judicial reform. Doesn't Master Wang Will you be envious and jealous?"
Wang Anshi snorted, "Am I that kind of person?"
You got it!Zhang Fei disagreed: "Scholar Wang must be, if not, then my plan will not be successful."
Wang Anshi was stunned, "How do you say that?"
Zhang Fei said: "My plan is, after the Sima University persuades the Imperial College to accept our donation, you, the Wang University, will start to express your dissatisfaction strongly and ask our Dasong Charity Foundation to donate too. The subjects you need to reform, such as mathematics, medicine, martial arts, and so on.
For the Da Song Charity Foundation, if this bowl of water is not level, it will only be worth the loss. After all, Master Wang is now deeply trusted by the officials, and he cannot afford to offend it!
In this way, Bachelor Wang can imperceptibly promote education reform. "
Wang Anshi's eyes flashed sharply.
He was actually trying to test Zhang Fei just now, if you play for a long time, you will only donate to litigation studies, which proves that what you said is just fooling me.
I have to say that Zhang Fei's move is really wonderful. Once Sima Guang asks Guozijian to accept the donation from the Dasong Charity Foundation to strengthen the education of legal talents, then he has a reason to play it, not only the charity foundation A bowl of water is fair, but the imperial court also needs a bowl of water. Could it be that my new policy is an illegitimate child, and I also need talents!
"Hehe. Your kid's ghost idea is really hard to guard against!" Wang Anshi pointed at Zhang Fei and cursed with a smile, and then asked: "But what are you planning?"
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "First of all, of course I also hope that our Great Song Dynasty will be prosperous and strong, and secondly, I also want to be safe."
"Safety?"
"good."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I have told Senior Fellow Wang before that most businessmen donate to the Da Song Charity Foundation for the purpose of avoiding taxes, not for the country and the people. The money donated by the Song Charity Foundation is only a lot more than the tax paid.
Therefore, I have to rack my brains to spend the money wisely, to satisfy both the Master Wang and Sima University, so that my Dasong Charity Foundation can continue to develop. "
This rhetoric cannot be said to be straightforward, it is simply blatant.
Spend money to buy peace, it's that simple.
This is really unbelievable for Wang Anshi, and he doesn't care about Zhang Fei's careful thinking. Spending money to buy safety is a matter of course. What is hateful is those who use the safety given to him by the court to evade taxes.
Of course he chose to support Zhang Fei's plan.
For him, this is simply a pie in the sky.It is not that without Zhang Fei, he would not be able to complete the educational reform, but borrowing the Dasong Charity Foundation to promote the reform, relatively speaking, the resistance will be much reduced, allowing him to devote more energy to other reforms.
If it can be successful, it is definitely at the smallest cost in exchange for the greatest return.
However, it was not Wang Anshi or Sima Guang who paid the most attention to education, but Shenzong Zhao Xu, because education is directly related to imperial power, and every monarch in the past dynasties has attached great importance to this matter.
Although Zhao Xu knew about this, he didn't know what Zhang Fei's real intention was.
This must be asked clearly.
Just after leaving Wang Anshi, before leaving the imperial city, Zhang Fei was quietly called into the palace by someone sent by Zhao Xu.
Really didn't even give Zhang Fei a chance to breathe.
In the face of Zhao Xu, Zhang Fei naturally did not dare to hide anything, but truthfully told the cause and effect of the matter, including the true purpose of Xiangguo Temple.
"It turned out to be Xiangguo Temple."
Zhao Xu was a little surprised.
He thought that all of this was Zhang Fei's idea before, but he never thought that there was someone else behind the scene.
Of course, Zhang Fei also told Zhao Xu that the real purpose of Xiangguo Temple was not to reform education, but to worry that he would be popular, so he wanted to use this to gain the support of some rising stars.
Zhang Fei said: "To tell you the truth, I also came up with this plan from Xiangguo Temple's intention, but I don't know if it will be possible, so I didn't inform Your Majesty in advance."
This is really a big truth. He really didn’t want to infiltrate the Guozijian before, at least not for the time being, because he also knows that this is very sensitive, and he needs to wait for an excellent opportunity. It was the Xiangguo Temple who offered to donate to the Guozijian. Zhang Feicai was going to give it a try.
Zhao Xu asked again: "Then what are your plans now?"
Zhang Fei pondered a little, "If Your Majesty wants to surpass Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, in my opinion, education is the only chance."
Zhao Xu was taken aback for a moment, then leaned forward, and hurriedly asked, "How do you say that?"
These words are really tempting for any emperor. Who would want to surpass Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty? But generally, emperors with such ambitions are also based on martial arts and martial arts. Zhao Xu's calculation is also true. Playing like this, but no one has ever said that this education is the only opportunity.
It's the first time I've heard this statement.
Zhang Fei explained: "Between the two, especially Tang Taizong, he was almost impeccable, whether it was martial arts or martial arts. In the prosperous world, there is nothing like not closing the door at night and not picking up lost things on the road; the territory he laid is basically one. The emperor exhausted all the territory he could conquer in his lifetime.
In other words, even if His Majesty does all this, at most he will be on a tie with Tang Taizong, but since Tang Taizong is the first, if His Majesty does not complete the transcendence, it will still be worse.
Then look back and think about what else can be surpassed. That is undoubtedly knowledge, which is also my strength.For example, in Jurisprudence, the "Song Xingtong" of our dynasty is completely inherited from the "Tang Law Shuyi". Even if some laws and regulations are improved on this basis, it cannot be regarded as surpassing. The value of "Sparse Discussion".However, if the judicial reform is successful and the entire judicial system changes, then the shadow of "Tang Laws and Discussions" can be cast off.
Because the Public Security Law is a system that did not exist in the Tang Dynasty, it was completely created in our dynasty, and its name will surely remain in history. "
Zhao Xu said thoughtfully: "Although what you said is reasonable, people in the world still value martial arts and martial arts more. Even if a public security law is famous in history, its influence is extremely limited."
Zhang Fei said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. The key to your influence depends on whether you have achieved great success because of it, because people often yearn for success. If our prosperity in the Song Dynasty is entirely based on the public prosecutor's law, its influence will surely be remembered by future generations." worship.
Of course, the public security law is just one example.Since Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, all the success of the prosperous age has been attributed to Confucianism, but if your majesty can find another way, gather the strengths of hundreds of schools, and create a prosperous age, then your majesty is a pioneer, a founder, and will be able to surpass Han Wudi and Tang Taizong .
