Great Tang princess

Chapter 762 Educational Programs
Pei Bishu wanted to use electricity to make a communicator. Although Li Yuechen expressed his encouragement, he didn't hold much hope for this matter in his heart.

The main reason is that this thing is really complicated. As an ancient person, Pei Bishu has little hope of researching it from scratch.

Fortunately, knowledge can be passed down from generation to generation. As long as we continue to innovate on previous knowledge, it will be achievable sooner or later.

The only pity is that I may not be able to see it in my lifetime.

However, Li Yuechen can help him as much as possible within his ability, although he can't help him too much.

After entering the laboratory, I began to study the basic problems of internal combustion engines with them.

Regarding the size of the truck frame and steam engine, it also requires a lot of calculations to get a more accurate result.

For example, how big the steam engine must be to ensure that the truck can run and be filled with enough goods.

You can't just make assumptions and make real objects immediately, after all, the cost is really high and it's a bit scary.

It is worth mentioning that the scale of the Academy of Engineering is large enough. Although most of the handicraft masters are studying the problem of steam engines, they have not let go of other products.

Like flashbangs.

Ever since magnesium powder was discovered years ago, Li Yuechen has been trying to figure it out, and asked them to make experimental products.

As it turns out, this thing works surprisingly well.

She has seen the samples of the flash bomb, and the death row inmates in the prison have done experiments.

The experimental results were somewhat unsatisfactory.

After all, it is still not as good as the flash bombs of the future. Exploding in a small room can indeed produce extremely dazzling light.

But as long as you are prepared in advance, if you turn your back and block your eyes with your arms, it still won't cause a dizzy effect.

However, because it contains gunpowder, it will also make a loud explosion sound, so it will cause tinnitus for a period of time.

It is worth mentioning that simply covering your eyes with your hands is not helpful.

Because the light is so strong that it can pass through the gaps between the fingers, causing a great impact on the eyes.

In addition to flash bombs, Li Yuechen also set another research direction for them - flares!

Ignite it through a large bed crossbow and launch it into the air, find a way to reduce its falling speed, and burst out a bright light in it, which is used to find the enemy's hideout during night combat.

Of course, it is still just a subject for now, and there are many problems that need to be solved, which cannot be solved all at once.

……

Time passed quickly, and it was August in a blink of an eye, and the school started, and Li Yuechen obediently went back to school to teach the children.

Looking at the children of the royal family in the classroom today, Li Yuechen is also thinking, in order to ensure their future education, maybe they can consider adopting elite education for them.

In the future, the children of the royal family will be equipped with a team of private teachers, and according to their learning speed, they will develop different learning methods and develop in many ways.

Once you have a high school degree, you go directly to the military academy.

In other words, the children of the royal family will not go to collective schools when they are young in the future, but each will have their own team of teachers to learn according to their own learning speed.

Because Li Yuechen knew very well that, in the final analysis, the school was not a place to cultivate elites.

The so-called schools only exist for literacy, so that most people have the minimum level of knowledge and culture.

But the children of the royal family are born with the heavy responsibility of defending the country, so they must be cultivated in an elite way.

Therefore, individual education for each individual is necessary to achieve all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor.

It's just that there are not so many people who are enough to be teachers for the children of the royal family at present, so they can only be allowed to stay in the military academy.

However, it can be seen from the ideological and political class within the royal family that Li Yuechen taught them separately that such an idea had existed many years ago.

As for collective schools, there are elementary schools now, and now it is really time to consider the issue of junior high school and high school.

It takes several years to get the teaching materials out, and the first batch of primary school students will almost graduate.

At that time, let them choose whether to continue to go to school or work according to the actual situation.

At least for now, even if you only have a primary school diploma, it is rare in the whole country, so you don't have to worry about finding a job.

In addition, the Ministry of Rites should also be a separate education department, and at the same time, the policy must be determined.

For the future of the country, not everything can be based on academic qualifications.

In the future, Li Yuechen had personally been to the talent recruitment market. There were so many college graduates crowded in the narrow aisle like a tide, and they kept sending their resumes to the nearby stalls.

At that time, she couldn't help but wonder, does society really need so many college students?

Faced with the situation that countless college students cannot find jobs, many people criticize this, saying that they would rather lie at home than work in a factory.

But the question is, do you really need a college degree to work in a factory?
If after graduating from university, you just enter a factory to work on an assembly line, then what is the point of studying hard for more than ten years?

So in order to solve this problem, Li Yuechen plans to set a policy from now on.

First, raise the barriers to entry and start a university, so that the degree itself does not become cheap.

Secondly, the labor supervision department in the future should conduct more actual investigations with enterprises, write the recruitment requirements as elementary school for jobs that can be done with a primary school diploma, and reject any form of exaggerated propaganda.

It is necessary to ensure that people with low education can find jobs in society, and truly realize a harmonious society in which as long as one has a skill, one will not starve to death.

At the same time, in terms of national moral education, we should also reject the academic theory and prohibit any form of academic discrimination.

Of course, this kind of atmosphere needs the country to take the lead, so in the future publicity, we should not pay too much attention to the issue of academic qualifications.

For example, the deeds of Wang Gangdan published in the newspapers a few years ago, he is illiterate and illiterate, he can also be promoted to major general.

Of course, this example is a bit exaggerated. In the future, at least one must be literate.

But anyway, this is a relatively good example of publicity.

It is not scary at all to have a low degree of education. The key is to work hard to live a good life and improve one's strengths.

This specialty does not necessarily have to be academic qualifications, it can also be other.

We must try our best to prevent all kinds of chicken baby parents from appearing in the future, forcing their children to be the first in school.

All kinds of fraction-only theory, using test scores to measure students and so on, is simply disgusting.

……

Li Yuechen has always been a character who can do whatever he wants, so he ran to Jixian Temple the next day and told his mother what he thought.

"You have always been in charge of the education of the children of the royal family, and I have no other opinions as a mother." Wu Zetian said while drinking tea, "But this school...do you plan to cover the whole country in the future?"

"Well, of course this is a long-term goal, and it is difficult to achieve in a short period of time." Li Yuechen replied, "Now the country does not have enough tax revenue to maintain so many public schools."

Building a school is easy to say, but it costs money after all.

Although things like cement are available now, they have not yet been fully industrialized after all, and the cost is still a bit high.

Besides, the royal family is rich and powerful, and it cannot support such a high cost.As far as the current situation is concerned, when the schools on the Dongdu side are completed, it will be considered good if we can build a few more schools in Chang'an.

Although the tax system has been gradually changing, after all, the main business of the country is still farming.

The occupation of most of the citizens is farming, and the whole country is regarded as a small-scale peasant economy.

Li Xian who was on the side suddenly said: "Speaking of which, since the steam engine can make a vehicle that walks automatically, can it make a machine that automatically harvests grain?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuechen suddenly turned his head and stared straight at him.

Li Xian was taken aback for a moment, thinking he had said something wrong, and asked embarrassingly, "What's wrong?"

"Brother today really said what the future emperor should say!" Li Yuechen gave a thumbs up, "For brother, this is a remarkable improvement!"

These words made Li Xian droop his eyelids: "Is Yuechen praising me or scolding me!"

"Okay, bro, don't care about those details!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, "But this is indeed a good research direction. If the grain production can be further increased in the future, it can be regarded as one of my credits."

Of course, Li Yuechen, the automatic farm tool, also thought about it, at least it would allow farmers to plant more land and increase their income a lot.

But not yet.

Any advanced technological product must be given priority to the army when it first comes out.

Only when it is more mature and the cost is reduced, can it be put on the civilian market.

Although it is said that food is the most important thing for the people, as far as the current output is concerned, there is no problem in feeding the entire population of the country.

Therefore, high-tech agricultural tools are not too anxious. At present, the priority must be to improve the efficiency of the army.

"Then will there be automatic sowing and harvesting machines in the future?" Li Xian asked.

"There must be, but I may not be able to see it in this generation." Li Yuechen smiled, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

While chatting, suddenly a middle-aged eunuch came in and reported: "Sage, a hang glider has landed, please see Your Highness the Princess."

"Bring it in!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, and Wu Zetian also nodded.

After a while, a pilot in camouflage uniform came to Jixian Temple.

After saluting, he took out a thick envelope and said, "Your Highness, these are the latest steamship drawings and letters produced by the Academy of Engineering."

Li Yuechen took it and opened it to look at it. The drawing was relatively large, and it was spread out directly on the table.

Li Xian, who was curious about this, also came over to watch, but he just glanced at it and then went back.

The main reason is that the drawing is too complicated, he can't understand it at all, and he doesn't even know what is drawn on it.

Li Yuechen frowned slightly after seeing the blueprint, then opened the attached letter and read it.

After reading it, I looked down at the drawing again, and felt something was wrong.

The main reason is that the sails of the ship on this blueprint have been cancelled.

According to Li Yuechen's idea, the engineering institute in Qingdao planned to use a steam engine to drive the propeller to provide power, and the rudder was responsible for steering.

To be honest, this is actually a very advanced design, but Li Yuechen still feels that there is a problem.

After all, a boat is a boat, not a car.

Now this steam engine has just been developed, and there is no accurate data on its performance.

Remove the sails hastily, if something goes wrong at sea and the machine breaks down, it will be the end of the calf.

So Li Yuechen asked Shangguan Wan'er to sharpen his ink, and immediately began to write a reply.

Tell them not to remove the sails for the time being, anyway, it's just a few masts, and it won't take up too much space.

At least in case the machine breaks down, there is still a means of insurance, so as not to die at sea.

After all, there is no satellite communication facility in this era. Once there is an accident at sea, it can only wait for death, and there is no way to save it.

Of course, this is the current wooden boat, which is relatively easy.

If an iron ship is developed in the future, it is not certain whether the weight and the sail can be carried.

……

After Li Yuechen finished writing the letter, Li Xian asked: "But if you continue to use the sail because you are afraid that the machine will break down, doesn't that mean that the machine is not safe enough now?"

"It's true at the moment." Li Yuechen nodded, "But with the gradual development of technology, these problems can eventually be solved."

After all, the current steam locomotives are indeed not as fast as horses, but that's just for now.

After more than 1000 years, horses are still so fast, but cars have gone far beyond that.

Li Xian's expression was somewhat regretful, as if he felt a little lost because he might not see high technology.

Seeing his son's expression, Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, now that the University of Political Science and Law can train talents for the imperial court, can the imperial examination be changed in the future?"

"There is no need to change it." Li Yuechen replied, "Although the University of Political Science and Law is mainly for cultivating talents for the imperial court, not everyone is suitable to be an official, right? Besides, the imperial examination is an examination for officials, and it may not only be for those who come out of the University of Political Science and Law. .”

After all, the University of Political Science and Law can become a national key university in the future, but after all, it is not a university that specializes in training officials, but a university that trains political and legal talents.

These differences are different and cannot be generalized.

After all, there is no way to teach how to be an official in school. You need to try to learn these things yourself.

"So, wouldn't there be a need for more universities in the future?" Wu Zetian asked.

"Aniang is right, but there is no need to think so much at the moment. In the next few years, two more universities will be enough!" Li Yuechen replied.

In her plan, a university of science and technology and a university of culture will be built in the future.

One specializes in liberal arts, and the other specializes in science, and they complement each other.

Just like the two schools that will be well-known throughout the country in the future.

Of course, this is still under planning. Li Yuechen's idea is to build the prototype within a few years.

After all, to build a university, it is not enough just to have a place to build a building.

It also needs sufficient teaching staff, teaching equipment and educational concepts, all of which are indispensable.

In this era, what is most lacking are talents who can keep up with Li Yuechen's thinking.
