My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 279 I just want to eliminate illiteracy, not illiteracy!
Li Si nodded and said, "I trust the general's ability to run the army."

"When a general leads the army, there will be no unwilling scholars."

"Of course, even if you are willing to learn, you may not be able to learn it."

"In the past, I had a good friend who was a classmate. He studied hard day and night, but after learning how to write, he was unable to make any progress. Even if he shed tears, he could not do anything."

"Everyone is different!"

The differences between people exist objectively.

Some people are capable of carrying cauldrons and have unparalleled military strategies, but they just don't like studying.

Some people are highly skilled in craftsmanship and constantly come up with ingenious ideas, but they can't even learn a word.

Everyone is good at something and not good at something. There are so many people who cannot learn to read or write but are very capable in other areas!

Wang Jian's eyes widened: "Is it easy to learn to bow and arrow? Is it easy to learn to ride a horse? Is it easy to learn to stab with a spear?"

"None of it is easy!"

"But when you are in the military, how can you not learn? How can you not know how?"

"Li Tingwei knows that people are different, but he doesn't know that the people in the army are those who are different!"

"One year of military service can make a child who has never touched a sword grow into a warrior, and it can also make an illiterate person recognize nine hundred characters!"

"One year of garrison service can make a soldier become an elite soldier, and it can also make a person who is proficient in writing familiar with the "Qin Code" and understand the way to serve as an official!"

In non-war years, in addition to maintaining local security and standing guard and patrolling, the main task of Daqin's regular soldiers is to let a Guizhou leader choose one of the four basic professions: material officer, light vehicle, knight, and building ship. And gain experience and improve skills through military training.

Archers who miss the mark with their crossbows, charioteers who cannot drive, and knights who are the worst at riding horses will be punished based on their assessment results by fines and corporal punishment, or by being put into the cannon fodder echelon of the first camp.

Not only that, the officials responsible for supervising training and the hometown officials responsible for selection will also be implicated and punished!

Wang Jian wanted to include character recognition and rhythm reading into this assessment system.

Wang Jian faced Ying Zhengyi and raised his hands: "In my opinion, as long as reading and literacy are assessed and rewarded, there will be no lieutenant generals in our Great Qin Army who can't read, don't know the rules, and don't know how to be an official!"

The corner of Ying Chengyu's mouth twitched slightly: "General, it's not like that!"

"I just want to reserve officials for our Qin Dynasty, not to kill soldiers who are unwilling to learn!"

Wang Jian is a very stable person.

Since Wang Jian said that there will be no illiterate soldiers in the army, then Wang Jian will definitely be able to do it!

Because all soldiers who don't like to learn and can't learn will die! ! !
But I just want to use the army to promote education and eliminate illiteracy.

I am not trying to eliminate illiteracy!
Wang Jian said of course: "If there is no basis for rewards and punishments, how can the soldiers learn even if they die!"

Ying Chengyu explained: "Don't forget what I intend to do with this advice."

"I order the soldiers to study in the army to cultivate talents and reserve officials for our Qin Dynasty."

"Our Great Qin is to dominate the world, and it only needs tens of thousands of officials. How can it be that hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers in the entire army know how to serve as officials!"

"Therefore, I believe that the time limit for guarding and guarding is one year each. Only those who cannot recognize nine hundred seal characters within two years will be punished with a zī (fine)."

Wang Jian smacked his lips: "You will be punished if you can't learn [-] characters in two years. If you can't read the "Qin Code" well, and if you don't understand the way of being an official, you won't be punished?"

"The punishment is too light!"

Ying Chengqiao smiled and said: "Obviously he is a high-ranking official, but he cannot be an official because he is illiterate and does not understand the law."

"This is a severe punishment!"

Imagine that after many years of life and death, you are finally able to join the army and go ashore.

And as soon as you join the staff, you can start directly as a county magistrate!

Your immediate leaders and the leaders of your immediate leaders are all your comrades-in-arms. They have a life-long friendship, and your future promotion path will be smooth sailing.

Before getting the preparation, you only need to complete a set of papers for the fifth grade of elementary school!
As a result, you won’t do it!
You can only go back to your hometown and become a small landowner with no land and money but no future.

Faced with the expectant looks of his wife, children, parents, and innocent inquiries from his children, he had to humbly ask his former subordinates for help for some trivial matters.

what mood are you in?
This kind of thing would make people collapse more than two thousand years later, let alone the Qin Dynasty where class differentiation is more obvious and solid!
But the good thing is that you don’t have to take one exam to determine your life.

You can also enlist in the army again and get the opportunity to study and join the army again.

When the opportunity comes again, are you willing to recognize all those nine hundred words and understand the "Qin Code" that is closely related to your life?
Thinking about the mood of the soldiers, Wang Jian also smiled: "That's true."

"As long as this principle is explained clearly, I think most soldiers will learn it."

Unless in wartime, all Qin people enlist in the army at the age of 17.

Most Guizhou heads have become fathers at this age.

They are no longer ignorant children. They have mature judgment and are very aware of the cruelty of life.

Under such circumstances, if you do not strive for every opportunity you can seize, then such a person is not worthy of being an official!

Li Si nodded slightly: "What Chang'an Jun said is reasonable. I underestimated the ambition of the leader of Guizhou."

"However, even if all the soldiers have learned writing and understood the "Qin Code", they cannot all become officials. Isn't this a waste of the energy of the legal officials?"

"If you know how to read and write, you will be able to read hundreds of classics, and your thoughts will be uncontrollable."

“Having a strategy in mind but not being able to put it into place is actually the source of turmoil!”

Before Ying Chengyu could speak, Wei Liao said in a deep voice, "Even if a soldier is illiterate but cannot serve as an official, what he has learned is not wasted."

"If I, the great Qin Dynasty, pass orders to the whole world, I can post the orders on the city gates and let the heads of Guizhou observe them for themselves."

"If we, the Great Qin Dynasty, teach the newly attached people the "Laws of Qin", we can also directly send the "Laws of Qin" to the head of Guizhou and order the head of Guizhou to observe it for himself."

"If the soldiers are literate, they can understand the orders of our great Qin, instead of listening to the random misinterpretations of the local powerful."

"As for knowing how to read and write, one can read hundreds of classics, which is even more ridiculous!" "If one has the money and can read hundreds of classics, he can read and read without being taught by military officials."

"How much money does a person who has learned literature through military law officials have to buy many classics?"

"Therefore, I believe that Lord Chang'an's advice is by no means the source of turmoil, but actually the root of great governance!"

Wei Liao's most important task when he entered Qin was to reform the army.

Let the officers and soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, who won with sheer courage and courage, learn advanced military concepts such as military strategy and formations.

Compared with teaching a group of illiterate soldiers, it is obviously easier to teach literate soldiers how to use military strategy.

The military academy system advised by Ying Chengyu and Wei Liao's military reform can be said to complement each other and can even develop symbiotically!
So Wei Liao also stood beside Ying Chengyu with a clear-cut stance.

Ying Chengyu followed and said, "Shang Jun remonstrated with the foolish people."

"Well, why are you stupid?"

"Unify our thoughts to control the people!"

"Is it foolish to simply suppress Guizhou and make it illiterate and unable to read?"

"What a big mistake!"

Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "I believe that thoughts are also a battlefield, and if you ignore them, you cannot win."

"Just because we don't occupy this battlefield, the enemy will!"

“Only by forcing the thoughts of Da Qin into the heads of all Guizhou leaders, so that the leaders of Guizhou have to always think about my thoughts of Da Qin, without having time to think about other thoughts, or even to think for themselves, can we fully occupy the thoughts of Qian Shou. "

"This is the real art of controlling the people!"

Ying Chengyu is talking about the Han Dynasty!
Ever since Dong Zhongshu deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, the Han Dynasty had formed a de facto ideological monopoly, and all books accessible to the head of Guizhou had been screened by the imperial court.

And if you want to be granted a title, be promoted to a general, and make a fortune, you need to start studying the designated Confucian teaching materials from an early age.

The "wisdom" of enlightening the people does not necessarily mean only reading and reading, and the "stupidity" of dumbing down the people does not necessarily mean making Guizhou people illiterate!
Li Si said categorically: "Don't say whether Chang'an Lord's words are right or wrong. This move is impossible to do!"

"Not to mention Great Qin, no other country has the ability to teach the heads of Guizhou for several years and give all the thoughts of the court to all the heads of Guizhou!"

"Mr. Chang'an is too whimsical!"

Ying Chengyu smiled: "Of course, Li Tingwei cannot deny what I said."

"When our country, the Qin Dynasty, becomes more powerful in the future, why can't our country, the Qin Dynasty, do this?"

"Even now, Li Tingwei still thinks that fooling the people means that the head of Guizhou cannot read Wenhu?"

Li Si wanted to refute.

But rather than fighting for the interests of foreign customers based on their standpoint, Li Si was more concerned about Ying Zheng's views.

So Li Si had no choice but to hand it over: "I will teach you!"

"Of course, if you want to develop a large-scale education, a lot of resources will be wasted!"

Ying Chengxuan explained: "That's why I ordered the officers and men below the nobility to study in the army, and those above the nobility to study in the military academy."

"While studying in the army, there is no need for any additional expenses. As long as the military officials work harder, I, the Qin Dynasty, can donate meat and grain to comfort the military officials."

"There is no need for Great Qin to bear any expenses for high-ranking people to study in the military academy. The high-ranking people can pay for it themselves."

"If it is done properly, I, Da Qin, may still be able to benefit from it!"

The doctorate has an annual salary of 250 stone, and his income is quite high.

Bearing the expenses while in school is not a burden for them.

But Li Si shook his head: "The expenses required for study include more than just food and legal services."

"There are also a lot of carving knives, bamboo slips and other things needed."

"Money and food can be provided by the salary of the nobles, but where do the knives and bamboo slips come from?"

"Even if you can buy it with money and food, you still need many people to make it!"

"Our Great Qin is already exhausted and cannot afford to devote too much manpower to making this thing."

Ying Cheng was heartbroken: "I will be responsible for this matter!"

Li Si was slightly startled.

Ying Chengyu has a lot of fiefdoms. If Yingchengyu uses his fiefdoms to allow the people of various villages to pay taxes with bamboo slips and carving knives, then Yingchengyu can really afford all kinds of resources needed by the military academy!
But, if Ying Chengyu has paid so much, then is this military academy the military academy of Great Qin or Ying Chengyu’s military academy?
Li Si was about to speak, but Ying Zheng had already nodded: "Since Brother Wang has such a responsibility, how can I refuse to allow it?"

"To this day, I am deeply aware of the lack of officials in our country, Qin Dynasty."

"In order to fulfill the wishes of the people and all of you who love me, it is absolutely necessary to train more officials."

"The military academy's policy is very popular with everyone!"

"Of course, since only those who are doctors or above can study in the military academy, the number of people in the military academy must be small, so there is no need to open it in every county."

"So I think that just setting up a military academy in Xianyang is enough."

Ying Zheng said this, which means he has agreed to the military academy's policy, but the details still need to be discussed.

Ying Chengyu thought for a while, then raised his hands and said, "What Brother Wang said is true."

Ying Zheng smiled happily: "Pass on my order!"

"Order the general to be the chief minister to build the Qin Military Academy on the banks of the Weishui River."

"Promote Chang'an Jun's son Cheng Xi to the rank of military academy commander, with a rank of two thousand stones."

"Instruct Young Master Cheng Xi of Chang'an to draw up the structure of the military academy as soon as possible and submit it to the court!"
