After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 329 Decree to Establish Jixia Academy
"Jixia Academy!?" The officials exclaimed at the same time when they heard the words.

"Jixia Academy is already more than 1000 years ago."

Jixia Academy is the world's first government-run institution of higher learning, and the world's earliest social science academy and think tank.It once accommodated hundreds of schools of thought at that time, almost all schools of thought:

Taoism, Confucianism, law, fame, soldiers, agriculture, yin and yang...

Among them, there are as many as a thousand talented people. Famous students include Mencius, Zou Yan (founder of Yinyang School), Shen Buhai (one of the founders of Legalism), Tian Pian, Shen Dao, Xunzi, Yin Wenzi, Juanzi, Zou Zi...

The grand academic discussion among them was spectacular.

The existence of Jixia Academy directly made the Qi State at that time develop and grow, and became the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.It was not only a state of etiquette recognized by the world at that time, and an economic and cultural center, but also the largest military power.

Among the scholars, especially Xunzi, served as the principal of Jixia Academy for three terms (Jijiu).

In the history of Chinese academic thought, the only spectacular and short-lived "contention of a hundred schools of thought" was centered on Jixia Academy.

Later, the fatuous King Qi Min succeeded to the throne, and he did not listen to the advice of the wise men. The wise men left one after another, and the Jixia Academy survived in name only.Later, Qi State was destroyed by Yan State, and Jixia Academy withdrew from the stage of history.

"Jixia Academy is the real way to spread the word." Seeing that the officials did not speak, or could not think of any reason to object, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "It is the full use of the creativity and intelligence of my descendants of Yan and Huang. Wisdom."

"The reason why the Jixia Academy disappeared is not because of its inability, but because of King Qi Min's stupidity."

"From his word 'compassion', it can be seen how stupid and incompetent he is."

"The reason why the splendor of Jixia Academy did not reappear later was because the later emperors were too selfish and didn't want to share the world with the common people. Therefore, they only advocated the Confucianism that was beneficial to them, and cut off the voice of other theories."

"The wisdom of my Chinese descendants was opened once in the pre-Qin period, and that was the contention of a hundred schools of thought."

"After that, it was sealed for more than 1000 years."

"And this seal is called Confucianism. With benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, loyalty to the emperor, it deceives the minds of the people, and uses the five skills of controlling the people to make them tired of life, suffer humiliation, and have no time for other things."

"And this time, we will break the thousand-year-old seal and enlighten the great wisdom of the descendants of Yan and Huang."

"Because we are the only emperor who really wants to share the world with the people!"

When the ministers heard this, their hearts trembled.

The emperor is the only one who really wants to share the world with the people.

The rest of the emperors, after taking the throne, first considered the interests of the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrat class, so they reused Confucianism.But Emperor Zhu, who wanted to share the world with the people, considered the interests of the people.

That's why he wants to clean up Confucianism.

Among the ministers, there are also many sensible people.

Sharing the world with the people, their interests will inevitably be damaged.

This is a great emperor, but it will violate the interests of most people in the court.

He and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs are not in the same boat.At least most civil and military ministers are not so selfless, everything is centered on the interests of the people, they only want to inherit the title of title, eternal wealth and glory.

The world is for the public, few people can do it.

"My China opened universal wisdom more than 1000 years ago, and sages such as Laozi, Confucius, and Mozi were born..." Liu Bowen tremblingly said, "Will more people be born this time, comparable to Laozi, Confucius, and Mozi?" The son waits for the master of sages and sages?"

"The contention of a hundred schools of thought more than 1000 years ago was so bright and brilliant, what will happen after it is opened now? I can't imagine..."

When the ministers heard this, their hearts trembled.

As expected, Liu Bowen was right to be worried.

If there are too many Confucius and Lao Tzu in a dynasty... even sages who are stronger than them...

"My Chinese people, the reason why wisdom has been sealed for thousands of years is that some kind of magical power deliberately did it?" Song Lian tremblingly said, "Because they are afraid that after China's wisdom is generally activated, the power of the descendants of Yan and Huang will be too terrifying..."

"Wisdom was activated once thousands of years ago, and Lao Tzu and Confucius were born... If it continues to be activated, it will be okay? I guess the planet Earth may not be able to bear it."

"They, because of some kind of balance..."

"Your Majesty, I suddenly feel a little frightened, with a chill down my back." Wang Guangyang said.

"Your Majesty, after the common people have enlightened their wisdom, it is indeed a little scary. Can the emperor really control it?" Yang Xiandao, "Using the Jixia Academy to unlock their wisdom, is it really good for the Ming Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister suggests that the Emperor should follow the rules and don't break this taboo." Li Shan said long.

"What you said is a bit mysterious and mysterious." Zhu Yuanzhang said that the ancients believed in esoteric learning. Hearing what the ministers said, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But he believed in Qin Yu, since Mr. Qin said to open it, there must be no harm.

Mr. Qin is a fairy. He said that the time has come to rebuild Jixia Academy.

"Why do you have to control them?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Isn't it good to let them develop freely?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind that as long as the emperor firmly controlled the military power in his hands, he would not be afraid of chaos in Ming Dynasty.Confucius, Laozi, etc., in the final analysis, are just thinkers and philosophers. Without soldiers, they have no ability to cause chaos.

And it is estimated that they are only obsessed with theory and have little interest in conspiracy.

Said: "You don't need to say much, we have made up our mind."

"Observe the decree!" All the ministers said one after another, "I can't think of any other reason to oppose the establishment of Jixia Academy."

"After all, the Jixia Academy also helped Duke Huan of Qi become the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. It made the Qi State at that time become a loyal country of economy, culture, theory research, and military power at the same time."

"Jixia Academy not only made Qi strong."

"At the same time, it also created a hundred schools of thought for the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the children of China. This is an ideological and cultural grand occasion that is worthy of pride for thousands of years, and even forever. It has become the brightest ideological pearl in the history of China."

"The emperor builds Jixia Academy again, maybe it will appear, the second pearl in Chinese history."

"In this case, let's make an order." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The ministers listen to the order."

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Hearing this, the officials lifted up their sleeves and knelt down in a large group.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: From now on, the Jixia Academy will be built. The location should be the sky, and the site will be selected on the top of Zhongshan Mountain. The Jixia Academy will cover an area of ​​[-] mu, with thousands of houses, standing tall, majestic and spectacular... ..."

"Broadly open a platform for wise, free, and equal academic and cultural exchanges."

"Sages in the world are like birds in the sky spreading their wings. The sky is vast. Magi use their wings to understand the sky."
