Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 294 Imperial Examination Education System
"When the people are strong, the Ming Dynasty is strong! When the people are rich, the Ming Dynasty is rich!"

……

Zhu Yuanzhang kept repeating Su's words, and his emotions kept accumulating.

Zhu Yuanzhang has long understood the relationship between Daming and the common people.

People can carry a boat, and they can also overturn it.

This is the truth that Zhu Yuanzhang personally experienced during the uprising.

"When the people are strong, the Ming Dynasty is strong! When the people are rich, the Ming Dynasty is rich!"

Zhu Biao also repeated Su Jing's words, and the expression on his face became more and more serious.

"The people are more important than the country, and the king is the least. In this great world, the most important thing is the people, and the people really represent the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with determination in his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded: "The people can carry a boat, and they can also overturn it. Su Jing, what you said is really good, and it should be passed down to future generations!"

Su Jing smiled lightly and said: "Uncle, it's just some common words, the future direction of the Ming Dynasty is ultimately in the hands of the Son of Heaven, and if the Son of Heaven is wise, the Ming Dynasty will prosper."

Although he pointed out the importance of the people of Ming Dynasty, but it is still necessary to flatter Lao Zhu.

At this moment, even Song Lian had to admit that Su Jing's words really contained the truth.

Hearing Su Jing's words, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, which he loved to hear.

The establishment and stability of Daming was all due to the efforts of the emperor. Even though he knew that Su Jing was flattering on purpose, Zhu Yuanzhang still benefited from it.

"Song Lian, what do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Song Lian who was on the side again and asked.

Song Lian immediately replied: "I think what Uncle Renyuan said is very true, but although what Uncle Renyuan described is good, it is still necessary for Uncle Renyuan to explain clearly how to implement vocational education, the specific policies and methods. "

Seeing that the situation was unstoppable, Song Lian didn't do anything to act like a car, but directly changed the angle and asked Su Jing about the specific implementation policy.

In Song Lian's mind, I have never heard of this vocational education before. It must have been brought up by Su Jing just now. There is something in the general direction, but there is probably no detailed content.

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, looked at Su Jing and said, "Su Jing, tell me, how should this vocational education be implemented?"

For the pragmatic Zhu Yuanzhang, this is the most important thing.

You can't just talk about benefits without talking about execution.

Su Jing immediately said: "Uncle, this has to be linked with the imperial examinations, our Ming Dynasty's current imperial examinations still need to be changed!"

Change the imperial examination!
This is what Su Jing wants to do most.

The imperial examination is certainly an excellent system. It provided countless scholars with a way to jump the dragon's gate, and it also allowed countless disciples from poor families to show their talents and ascend to high positions.

It can be said that this is an extremely great pioneering work.

Since the emergence of the imperial examination, all dynasties have recognized the importance of the imperial examination to the country. No matter how the dynasties change, whether the Han people are in power or the Yuan people are in power, the imperial examination has always continued.

Naturally, Su Jing did not intend to completely negate the imperial examinations. It was his choice to take the essence and discard the dross.

"The old man asked Uncle Ren Yuan, how can this imperial examination be changed?"

Song Lian asked Su Jing immediately.

In fact, Zhu Biao had asked Song Lian about the disadvantages of the imperial examination before, and also knew Su Jing's views on the imperial examination.

Song Lian has always been curious about Su Jing's thoughts on the imperial examination.

After all, the current imperial examination system in Ming Dynasty was determined by him and a group of colleagues through painstaking efforts.

Su Jing glanced at Song Lian, and said with a smile: "Song Chengzhi, if my guess is correct, the current imperial examination system in Ming Dynasty should be mainly established by you. The general direction is to imitate the Yuan Dynasty, right?"

Song Lian nodded and said: "That's true. The imperial examination has been in the Sui Dynasty for more than 700 years. Although there have been reforms, the overall policy has basically not changed much. I just follow the old rules."

Now Song Lian has learned to be good, so let's stop bragging.

It is true that the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty was established by me, but I did not want to do it this way, but it has always been done this way, and I followed the example of the predecessors.

There is a problem, and that's not my problem.

Although it wasn't long before I came here to meet Su Jing, Song Lian could already see that Lao Zhu really loved Su Jing very much.

Song Lian also knew about the relationship between Su Jing and Zhu Biao.

My own teacher, who has taught the prince for many years, is not as good as Su Jing, the teacher who has taught the prince for several months.

This generation of emperors of Ming Dynasty and the future generation of emperors all attach so much importance to Su Jing.

It can be foreseen that Su Jing in the future will definitely be a pivotal figure in the Great Ming Dynasty.

Listening to Song Lian's defense, Su Jing didn't care, but said: "The current imperial examinations have indeed lasted for more than 700 years, but there is a saying called advancing with the times."

"The torrent of the times is rolling, and we must keep up with the pace of the times, so that Daming can always maintain its unique strength."

"It's like firearms, which have only been around for hundreds of years and have already demonstrated their powerful power. The same is true for the imperial examination."

……

Su Jing talked eloquently, seemingly just talking nonsense.

But in fact, if you want Zhu Yuanzhang to truly accept the reform of the imperial examination, you must make a good preparation, and the ideological preparation is particularly important.

Let Zhu Yuanzhang understand that the change of the imperial examination is for Ming Dynasty!For the prosperity of Daming.

"Okay, Su Jing, you should talk about how to modify the imperial examination."

Zhu Yuanzhang urged, which shows that his heart is already looking forward to it.

Su Jing nodded and said: "The current imperial examinations only have exams, but there is no corresponding education system. This is not good. The imperial examinations must not be simply regarded as a few exams."

"Children's examination, township examination and general examination are divided into three levels. We can divide education into three stages. We call children's examination primary education, middle school education and university education."

"Private schools across the country can also be divided into primary schools, middle schools and universities according to this standard."

"But those who fail the children's test will study in elementary school, and the main learning content is the content of the children's test."

"After studying for a few years, you can take the children's test. If you pass the test, you will enter the middle school and learn the content of the rural test. Similarly, after studying for a few years, you can go to the university. This is the general test. learned the content."

"During these three stages, there will definitely be those who fail the children's examination, the rural examination or the general examination. At this time, vocational education will come in handy."

"If you feel that the reason for your failure is not that your strength is too poor, and you can still do it if you work hard, you can continue to study and take the exam next time."

"And if you feel that you are far behind and the next chance is not great, you can enter a vocational school to study. The vocational school that can be entered by those who have not passed the children's test can be some simple occupations, such as carpentry or A blacksmith or something."

"If you haven't passed the township examination, you can learn some writing-related occupations, such as teachers."

"As for those who haven't passed the examination, it may be due to lack of ambition, not poor ability. According to your own interests, you can go to vocational schools for research and study, such as agricultural colleges."

……

Su Jing talked for a whole stick of incense, and only then did he briefly describe a general idea.

These are a combination of the education system of the previous life and the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. Su Jing also knows that there must be something unreasonable in it, but things must be done before they can be corrected slowly.

Don't be afraid of making mistakes in this first step. You have to do it before you can do the next thing.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully, frowning for a while, then relaxed.

It has to be said that the reform method of the imperial examination mentioned by Su Jing had a huge impact on Zhu Yuanzhang.

He originally thought that Su Jing was only making changes in the content and method of the examination for the selection of talents in the imperial examination, but he did not expect this to be the case.

According to Su Jing, this is to build a complete education system.

"It's roughly like this. I personally summarize it. It is to let the scholars of Ming Dynasty have their own corresponding learning stages, instead of studying all the time and then taking the exam. If you pass it, you pass it. If you don't pass it, you can continue. Different people, naturally There are also different situations, the purpose of vocational education is to make those scholars who failed to pass the imperial examination all the way to play a greater role."

"Of course, my ideas are still very rough. I believe that both the uncle and Song Chengzhi must have a lot of doubts, and even feel that some places are difficult to implement or handled improperly, and they are more likely to be contradictory. These are all It's normal, if you make mistakes, you can correct them, things don't happen overnight."

"However, I believe that only in this way can Daming develop more vigorously and become stronger!"

Su Jing made an impassioned summary, on the one hand to boost Zhu Yuanzhang's confidence, and on the other hand to cover up the shortcomings of his plan.

Daming is not the previous life, and it may take decades or even a hundred years to establish such an education system.

Zhu Yuanzhang's generation was not good, and the next generation of Ming Dynasty and the next generation of emperors must continue to implement improvements.

However, it is man-made.

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Su Jing himself believed it anyway.

Zhu Biao is still the same as before, recording everything that Su Jing said in detail, right or wrong is not something he needs to think about now.

Remember first, and then ask Su Jing for advice, this is the correct way to learn.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Jing and asked: "Su Jing, this method of improvement is really strange. How did you come up with it? The classification of primary, secondary, and university is also quite interesting. Su Jing, didn't you think about it a long time ago?" Yet?"

The content Su Jing narrated is very novel, but the system is quite complete.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has never been in contact with him, he is not a fool, let alone stupid.

Su Jing replied calmly: "Uncle, do you still remember that I once said about teaching in a dream? The education I received in my dream is like this, and the so-called nine-year compulsory education teachers refer to teachers from elementary and middle schools." Course content."

The matter of teaching in a dream has become Su Jing's golden signature.

Anyway, for things that cannot be explained, just use the lecture in the dream to explain it.

"It's just elementary school and middle school, are you already at the level that you Su Jing is now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Jing and said in surprise.

He has always been curious about how good Su Jing's teacher is, even the teacher in his dream.

It sounds like Su Jing simply described the process of elementary, middle and high education, and he also roughly understands this education system.

And now Su Jing told him that his nine-year compulsory education was only the content of elementary and middle schools, which really shocked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because Su Jing, who has only learned these things, can already be called a genius!
Su Jing smiled and said: "Uncle, you can't calculate it like this. The nine-year compulsory education in my dream and the knowledge that Daming possessed are two different things, but if it can be improved according to what I said, maybe the one I taught in my dream Circumstances can also become reality.”

Su Jing can understand Lao Zhu's shock.

But things are also as Su Jing said, these are two different things.

The current Ming Dynasty is still a long way from that era of rapid knowledge development and progress.

That legendary 100 years is enough to equal all the years before human development.

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and asked: "Su Jing, is what you said true? In the future Ming Dynasty, can such a situation really happen?"

A talent like Su Jing has already made Zhu Yuanzhang very useful.

If the future is really as Su Jing said, wouldn't people be inexhaustible, so why worry about Ming being unable to last forever?

"Uncle, no one dares to guarantee what will happen after my death. Probably, this situation will not happen until I die, but so what? At least we are constantly working hard in this direction."

Su Jing said lightly.

This has already been bragging enough with Lao Zhu, and it's time to put it back a little bit.

This guarantee of a future vision is not necessary.

"That's right, you're right. This thing can't be achieved overnight. It may be seen by my descendants, but so what? At least this thing started with us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, showing his majesty as the Son of Heaven at this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang really listened to the improvement of vocational education and imperial examinations that Su Jing talked about today.

Song Lian on the side also listened very carefully. After listening to this, his attitude changed.

Su Jing's vocational education is really not for scholars to do some lowly craftsman's work.

Only those who can't pass the child's test, that is to learn a craft to make a living, and scholars who can't pass the child's test, in Song Lian's place, they really can't be called scholars.

For those who have passed the children's examination, the vocational education they study is a profession such as a teacher with a certain social status, which is quite acceptable.

Here is Su Jing's ingenious description. At the beginning, he was very serious when talking about it in general terms, but he was more relaxed when talking about it in detail, which is more in line with the current way of thinking in the Ming Dynasty.

It's like wanting to open a window in a house. Don't talk about opening the window directly, but talk about opening the roof.

This makes opening windows an acceptable option.

There is nothing better than this.
