Lu Huiqing was really crazy. From the drafting to the promulgation of the new law, he knew that there would be obstacles and that there would definitely be many people who opposed it. He also had sufficient mental preparation and coping methods, but his spells were always interrupted by some inexplicable reasons.
The instigator was Zhang Fei.
Who would have thought that when Zhang Fei went to attend a class, there was not a single person signed up at the School of Mathematics.
This caught him off guard.
The most troublesome thing is that this matter is not big, but the harm is very great. We can’t just ignore it and have to solve it immediately.
This is not a traditional political struggle, so Lu Huiqing can only go to Zhang Fei.
The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.
"What?"
Zhang Fei looked at Lu Huiqing in shock, "You want me to give lectures at the Academy of Mathematics?"
Lu Huiqing just nodded slightly. This outrageous thing made him not know how to start.
...
...
Zhang Fei opened his eyes wide and asked, "Why?"
He wondered to himself how they had discovered this talent even though he hadn't shown it.
When Lu Huiqing heard this, he couldn't help but complain, "I also want to know why, why do you go to the Law School to take classes, but there is not even one person who signed up for my Mathematics School?"
"......?"
Zhang Fei was dumbfounded. He had known Lu Huiqing for such a long time, but this was the first time he saw Lu Huiqing behave so out of control.
After a while, he said, "Lu Xiaojian, you... don't get angry first, I... I don't know about this."
Lu Huiqing took a deep breath, "Now you know."
Zhang Fei nodded woodenly.
Lu Huiqing said: "Then you should have thought about what consequences this would bring."
Zhang Fei glanced at Lu Huiqing awkwardly and said, "But... But Lu Xiaokan asked me to teach at the Academy of Mathematics because of this. Isn't it a desperate move? After all, I am just an ear writer. Teaching law is reasonable, but asking me to teach mathematics, this..."
Lu Huiqing asked: "Then what do you say we should do?"
He didn't want to, but he had no choice. In the eyes of many people, the law of the rule of law is at the level of establishing a new school of thought. He didn't have that ability, and he couldn't find someone with that ability.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but frowned, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Why did Lu Xiaokan recruit me in the first place?"
Lu Huiqing was stunned. "Of course it's because of your talent. Why are you asking this?"
Zhang Fei said: "But my talent is litigation."
Lu Huiqing asked: "So what?"
Zhang Fei said: "In other words, new laws also need people who understand the law."
Lu Huiqing said: "Of course, law is also a subject that officials must learn."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "In this case, the Mathematics Institute should allow its students to study law at the Law Institute."
Lu Huiqing was slightly stunned, and seemed to understand something.
Zhang Fei said: "The reason why there are no students signing up now is that they regard the Law School and the Mathematics School as enemies. It means that you are the only one who can do it, but in terms of knowledge, you are in me and I am in you, and we cannot separate. So as long as the Mathematics School allows its students to study law, this problem will be solved."
Lu Huiqing hesitated for a moment, "But even if we are willing, the other party may not be willing."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "That proves that the Academy of Mathematics was established for the benefit of the world and for the sake of learning, while the Academy of Law was established only for Sima Xueshi's own likes and dislikes. Therefore, I believe Sima Xueshi would not be stupid enough to do this."
Lu Huiqing nodded slightly, but seemed to still have some doubts. Did doing so mean that he was admitting defeat?
Zhang Fei saw what he was thinking and suddenly asked, "Does Lu Jiaokan know my legal system?"
Lu Huiqing was startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "How could I not know? This method is also being debated endlessly in the court."
Zhang Fei said: "In the law of legal system, the difference between political decrees and legal decrees is clearly defined. In my opinion, many candidates still seek political decrees rather than legal decrees, because political decrees represent power, while legal decrees are just a consensus.
Therefore, Lü Xiaokan can set up a course in the Academy of Mathematics, for example, called National Fiscal Law, which is specifically based on some ancient economic policies and used for teaching. This will not only promote Wang Xueshi’s new policy ideas, but also attract many students. ”
National Economic Law? Lv Huiqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily: "I didn't expect you to have such insights into education."
"Where! Where!"
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I just analyze education as a business. Selling things is to promote the advantages of the goods. People go to high places, and water flows to low places. Compared with judging Dali Temple affairs, more people still want to be the vice-chancellor."
Lu Huiqing also gradually realized that those candidates were obsessed with the law of the system, and perhaps they were just trapped in it temporarily. But in terms of personal future, it was obviously more promising to hang out with Wang Anshi, and he was immediately full of confidence.
As soon as Lu Huiqing left, Xu Zhiqian came into the hall.
"Why is Lu Xiaokan here?"
"Lü Xiaokan plans to invite me to be a teacher at the Academy of Mathematics."
"ah?"
Xu Zhiqian opened her red lips slightly, staring at Zhang Fei in a daze.
Zhang Fei also smiled bitterly: "This time it's really a big deal."
After hearing this, Xu Zhiqian looked at his depressed expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhang Fei said unhappily: "You're still laughing."
Xu Zhiqian asked anxiously: "Did you agree?"
"Of course I didn't agree." Zhang Fei said, "I don't know anything about mathematics."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Not necessarily. Didn't you set up the finances of the police station? But it is much better than the finances of other government offices."
Zhang Fei was startled when he heard this: "Hey, hey, hey, don't say that. I just refused with great difficulty. If you remind me like this, I will really let you go. That would be terrible."
Xu Zhiqian asked curiously, "Everyone is vying to invite you to be a teacher, which proves that they recognize your talent. It's not a bad thing. Why are you so scared?"
Zhang Fei sighed and said, "Because too much talk leads to mistakes, especially when it comes to finances."
Wang Anshi established the Academy of Mathematics for the sake of the new law, so the Academy of Mathematics certainly did not teach professional knowledge such as mathematics, but was to promote Wang Anshi's philosophy of governing the country. In contemporary terms, it is the utilitarianism that puts national interests first and does not talk about morality and benevolence every day. To put it more professionally, it is national economics.
In fact, Zhang Fei can also talk about it, after all, he has also studied economic law, financial law, etc. But Wang Anshi has his own complete set of political ideas.
If Zhang Fei wants to give a lecture, he must follow Wang Anshi's ideas, regardless of whether they are right or wrong, because this has political purposes.
Of course, the most important thing is that this was not in Zhang Fei’s plan.
Zhang Fei must encourage Wang Anshi to promote the new law.
All the benefits he has gained so far come from Wang Anshi's reform.
Xu Zhiqian certainly didn't know all this, but she also agreed that when it comes to financial matters, one really has to be careful about what one says. If you say one more penny, it could cause big problems.
As the young couple was chatting, Sima Guang came wandering over again.
Zhang Fei was almost depressed. "Master Sima, could it be that something went wrong at the Law School?"
Sima Guang was stunned. "Have you heard about it?"
What you fear will come true. Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I just said it casually. I wonder what the problem is?"
"This won't work!"
Sima Guang shook his head and sighed.
Zhang Fei was surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"
Sima Guang said, "It is your five-day lesson."
Zhang Fei was confused, "Why not?"
Sima Guang said, "There are hundreds of people who have signed up for the Law School. If you teach once every five days, then even if there are 50 students in a class, you can take turns teaching, and each student can only have one lesson a month at most. How can this work?"
Zhang Fei asked excitedly: "Where are the other teaching assistants? Am I the only teaching assistant in the Imperial College?"
You can't always grab one to get the most out of something!
Sima Guang said unhappily, "There are quite a few assistant professors teaching law in the Imperial College, but your legal system conflicts with traditional legal concepts. You deny the Legalists and separate Confucianism from law, which has led to no one being able to teach."
Zhang Fei blinked, "So, I have to go to class every day?"
Sima Guang frowned and said, "The problem is not here. Whether you have classes every day is secondary. The problem is that your legal system has not yet been finalized, but it has affected traditional jurisprudence. If you give lectures every day, or if the law school has your classes, doesn't it mean that your legal system has replaced traditional jurisprudence? Do you know how much of a disturbance this will cause?"
The law also concerns the interests of everyone. If you just talk about it in class, people may just wait and see, after all, it is just an academic dispute. The literati are relatively tolerant of this, because the social structure of the Song Dynasty is quite different from that of previous dynasties, and new ideas are emerging in an endless stream.
If the legal system was officially included in the Song Dynasty's criminal code, this would be a political issue, not an academic issue.
But people won’t agree to it.
When Sima Guang went to the Imperial College to arrange courses, the officials of the Imperial College kept complaining that your law school and my Imperial College were in chaos and how could this be acceptable.
This made him very confused.
Zhang Fei was also clear about this, and he was extremely careful. He did not dare to directly talk about the concept of the rule of law. He used the issues of Confucianism and Legalism to promote this idea, and he discussed it from the perspective of the emperor.
But he overlooked one point: this new academic discipline will seriously affect traditional education.
He knew very well that this would not work. He just wanted to bury a seed and let it sprout and bear fruit on its own. He didn't want to be a gardener, because a gardener has to be responsible.
He wants to sow seeds, but he doesn't want to take responsibility.
For now, he cannot allow the law of the rule of law to directly replace traditional jurisprudence.
Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "How about this? Let's set the Law of the System as the highest level course. Students must complete all previous courses before they can enter my class."
Sima Guang frowned and said, "But your legal system is inconsistent with traditional jurisprudence."
Zhang Fei said: "But if you don't even understand the Legalists and Confucianists, you can't understand my legal system. The most basic thing is that you have to understand some of the legal ideas in the Song Dynasty Criminal Code."
"That makes sense."
Sima Guang nodded slightly and asked, "But what should we do now?"
The Law School had just opened and all the students were first-year students.
Zhang Fei said: "Let those candidates come and study. Anyway, they stay in the Imperial Academy just to wait for the imperial examination."
Sima Guang heard his casual tone, so he said: "You are too casual. Since your law has been recognized by so many people, you must do it seriously and not be perfunctory."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I understand."
Sima Guang asked again: "Have you thought about the content of the next class?"
Zhang Fei immediately said, "Not yet."
Sima Guang suddenly felt a little disappointed, but in fact he was also looking forward to the next class.
