I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 610 Education Reform, Official Protection

After hearing Liu Jian's words, Hua Tuo did not answer immediately, because Liu Jian had already mentioned this matter before inviting Hua Tuo to come.

In fact, during the time when Hua Tuo came to Yecheng, he had been inquiring about the current operating models and specific conditions of universities at all levels in Hebei.

Nowadays, the imperial examination system is very popular in Hebei, but compared with the imperial examination system in history, there are still some differences in the imperial examination system implemented by Liu Jian in Hebei.

Liu Jian has set many teaching goals and learning contents for Zhouxue, and every day he asks teachers to rack their brains to arrange after-school homework for students, and also proposes social practice-type homework.

It is absolutely impossible to become an official in Hebei just by studying and treating the classics, as was done in the past.

Social practice assignments focus on agriculture and engineering.
After all, these two disciplines were the most important guarantee and development foundation for the Han Dynasty and its people.

Liu Jian’s idea is to allow students to become academic experts while also having hands-on skills. Let them go to the field and practice, and through their own accumulation, they can become real talents.

In addition to sufficient knowledge and theoretical reserves, students must also have sufficient practical experience.

The Han Dynasty was based on agriculture and was an agricultural empire. Therefore, according to Liu Jian's idea, from now on, students in the Han Dynasty must have experience in agricultural production, understand the hardships of agricultural production, and then master agricultural production. Only in this way, after they take up official positions in the future, can they rely on their own experience to govern the people at the bottom as appropriate.

Although changing these things is very troublesome and will also arouse the resentment of some gentry who relied too much on Confucian classics, Liu Jian believes that all of this is meaningful and will definitely have good results in the future.

Education is a nation's top priority. If education is not reformed in a timely manner, the country and nation will stagnate.

Moreover, Liu Jian has already begun to implement the archival and resume archiving system in Hebei, because paper has become popular in the north, which is fully sufficient to support this.

At the same time, no matter whether they are successful in the imperial examination or low-level officials who are directly recruited to the government offices, they must have an internship period and be evaluated on their performance during the internship period.

Students studying in state and county government offices can also provide internships according to the requirements of the government offices according to the various courses they control in school. Those who meet the requirements can go to the government offices to assist in internships during school.

This is good for their growth, and it is also of great benefit to the Hebei government office whose workload is increasing day by day.

After all, after Liu Jian came to power in Hebei, various industries have developed too rapidly. Sometimes the staff expansion in the government offices cannot even keep up with the booming speed of industries. Therefore, there are a lot of civil affairs that need to be handled, from the state government to the county government. All officials and staff are busy and have many things to do. Having more people to handle things can also reduce the pressure on the government offices.

Of course, for internship students, the most important part of expanding their courses in school is agriculture and industry!
Officials cannot just read excerpts and interpret scriptures. This is Liu Jian's rigid invitation to students in Hebei.

Agricultural studies and industrial studies will become standing subjects in official schools at all levels, and will also become required subjects at the beginning of the imperial examination.

Now, Liu Jian wants to add medicine as a key category to official education.

Of course, it would be unrealistic to ask every official to become a doctor, and it would have no concrete meaning.

However, as for some basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and the knowledge of medicinal properties, Liu Jian, as a student of the Han Dynasty, felt that it was necessary for students to master a certain amount of knowledge.

Because if you want to build a mature medical and public health system, you cannot cultivate so many professional talents at once.It is still necessary to spread some basic knowledge among the people in the world.

When accumulation reaches a certain level, some systems will come into being naturally.

Of course, it is still very necessary to establish the top public medical courses in the highest universities.

Food, industry, and medicine can ensure the survival rate of the Han Dynasty population. In an era when labor is the productive force, this can be said to be very important.

It is not that there are no medical experts in Hebei, but if the top doctors like Hua Tuo in the Han Dynasty could come to Hebei to work in medical schools, it would be the same for Liu Jian in expanding the public health undertakings of the Han Dynasty. A huge arm assist.

Mentally, he can also boost morale.

In terms of knowledge, he also represents the forefront of this era.

In fact, Liu Jian had already outlined a blueprint for his future medical career in front of Hua Tuo, but Hua Tuo had not responded yet.

In fact, in Hua Tuo's heart, Hua Tuo fully agreed with Liu Jian's addition of medicine to the official curriculum. After all, doctors are benevolent. He is a doctor and studies medicine hard just to be able to save lives and heal the wounded. I will try my best to save more Han lives.

But no matter how noble Hua Tuo is, he is still a human being, and as a human being, he is bound to have selfish motives, no more than a few.

The key issue is that if Hua Tuo agrees to Liu Jian's invitation and becomes the dean of Hebei Zhouxue University, then since he wants to train medical students, he must contribute his knowledge, even if he has some reservations. You must also contribute a part.

In this era, knowledge means reputation.

For the top gentry, the right to interpret Confucian classics is their life!
The same goes for doctors.

Although medicine does not have a very formal inheritance like Confucian classics, for Hua Tuo, who was born in a noble family, it was accumulated through hard work and many years of hard work. You let Hua Tuo directly pass on his knowledge. How could he be happy if he went out?

Even if it is to be passed on, it must be passed on to his disciples and disciples.

But whose students are the students from many universities in Hebei now?
Now, the highest-ranking president of all famous universities in Hebei is Liu Jian himself.

In other words, according to the ethical concepts of the Han Dynasty, students who entered high-level county official schools or prefecture official schools were nominally Liu Jian's disciples.The most outstanding among them may directly become Liu Jian's registered disciples.

Perhaps in addition to disciples, those disciples can also become disciples of other deans or teachers. After all, these days, there is no hard and fast rule that one must be a disciple.

But there is no doubt that once this disciple becomes successful, if we look into his inheritance, he has to be Fuyuan General Liu Deran.

Who dares to compete with the general for disciples?

From a student's point of view, they would definitely want to work under the general's wing.

Who doesn’t want to be a disciple of the general?

Therefore, for people like Hua Tuo, he really has such worries.

It was a good thing, but he was always a little uncomfortable in his heart...

It is understandable that sages and kind people have some selfish motives.

Liu Jian can be said to be the most considerate person in the world, so he understands Hua Tuo's thoughts and uneasiness very well.

If he were standing in Hua Tuo's perspective, he would feel a little unsure.

Besides, Hua Tuo was originally from a noble family, and people from a noble family, no matter high or low, all have this little problem of hiding their secrets.

This is also affected by the general environment.

"Mr. Hua, are you worried that what you have learned over the years will eventually become a tool for others to become famous?"

Hua Tuo, who was writing a prescription for Liu Jian, heard this and his hand trembled slightly.

Then, he smiled and said, "The general is such a cheerful person."

Liu Jian said: "That's how I am. If there is a problem, solve it and don't hide it. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone become Tao Gongzu, which may hurt Yang and longevity."

When Hua Tuo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's it. For those who maintain health, cultivating the mind is the most important thing."

Liu Jian said: "To be able to study medicine so far and achieve such attainments, he must have come from a scholarly family. According to Liu's inference, he should not be short of money. He hesitated in front of me today because he was worried about academics." Inheritance is not for wealth!”

After hearing this, Hua Tuo felt as if he had met a confidant.

"The general is worthy of being a wise man. Yes, Hua spent half his life studying medicine not for wealth. If I want to be prosperous, I don't need to study medicine."

Liu Jian smiled and nodded, and said: "If my prediction is correct, what Mr. Hua is thinking about should be his own medical heritage. In fact, just like those top-notch scholars, they control various scriptures The right to interpret the scriptures belongs to their respective families and families.”

"This scholarship has been passed down from generation to generation, forming their unique style and reputation. Are you saying that other scholars don't know the scriptures controlled by these elites? Of course not, many scholars are familiar with the scriptures There are many articles, and more interpreters are constantly appearing, but the top interpretation power has always been in the hands of the reviewer."

Hua Tuo sighed and said: "But medicine is different from scriptures after all. No one cares about the final interpretation of medicine, and no one thinks about it. However, once the prescriptions come out, they will definitely be used by doctors. And people in the world don't care much about the origin of the prescription, and there are no laws and regulations to protect it. Everyone uses this prescription to treat diseases, and no one knows the origin of the prescription. Who did it?"

"Hua doesn't think he's particularly greedy for fame, but if you say I don't care about reputation at all, that's not true. After all, my medical skills are the result of many years of hard work and decades of effort. One medicine after another, one patient after another."

"It may not seem like much to others, but to Hua himself, it's all a treasure."

Liu Jian said: "Why do Chinese doctors belittle themselves so much? In Liu's opinion, your medical methods can save the lives of countless people in the world. Compared with the Five Classics, medical methods are more practical in humanity. Of course, this is just my family's opinion. , does not represent everyone’s views.”

"After all, in the eyes of most clans, the way of learning is supreme."

"As for Mr. Hua's concerns, Liu also has a solution in his mind."

"I have been planning for these years...Mr. Hua, you must be aware of the boom in Qingzhou's book industry. After every book is printed, there will be an author on the cover, and it will be issued by the government. The books printed by Qingzhou Bookstore, For future scholars of the Han Dynasty, this is the most powerful evidence."

"And according to my idea, in the future Hebei will also set up a book collection pavilion similar to the original Luoyang Lantai. Each county will set up a large and small book collection pavilion to store all the world-famous books and officially certified books. , and indicate the author, and the official must also protect the author’s intellectual property signature.”

"In this way, we not only pass on the knowledge of writing, but also make the author of the book famous for generations to come."

"Of course, this type of subject is not limited to Confucian classics. Agriculture, engineering, and medicine must be treated similarly."

"In this way, it is equivalent to endorsing your medical skills from the official perspective of the Han Dynasty official office, letting everyone in the world know how many people in the world have been saved by every prescription and contribution you made."

"Thousands of years from now, your name will be famous for centuries and will be praised by future generations."
