The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 232 Savage body and civilized spirit!

If the negotiation with Beixiang goes smoothly, Yungu's industrial and commercial industry will be unprecedentedly good in the near future.

After the battle to regain the Huangshui Valley, the Xifan people were very aware of the current affairs and quickly sent envoys to sue for peace and request to resume trading with Yungu.After careful consideration, Song Yingkui planned to establish a city and open a port in Ningxi Acropolis.The Guining Army has been able to directly contact the Yungu Army, and the border trade between the two sides is gradually resuming.

In addition, as soon as the market opens in Beixiang, Yungu will become a meeting point connecting all forces in the northwest frontier. The great development of industry and commerce is worth looking forward to.

The only trouble right now is that the business relationship with Dazheng is not very stable and may become more and more sensitive, and some of the goods produced by Dazheng are irreplaceable.Once banned by Dazheng, the impact will be great.

However, this hidden danger may not break out. It’s a bit unfounded to worry about it now. Let’s wait until it actually happens.

After the Beixiang mission understood Song Yingkui's intention, they left the country and returned to Yinzhou to report the details to their court to see if the mutual market exchange between the two sides could be truly implemented.

"Uncle, please make arrangements here. After the autumn harvest is not too urgent, organize people to simply repair Gongchang City. If the mutual trade between Beixiang and us can be opened, the market will be located in Gongchang City." Although Beixiang The final attitude has not been reported back yet, but Song Yingkui felt that the problem was not big, so after Xiang Shi left, he called his second uncle and asked him to start preparing the venue for the forum.

Gongchang City was burned into ruins by Beixiang. If it is not repaired properly, it will not be usable at all.These thieves in Beixiang are really capable of destruction but lack of construction ability.

"City Lord, how big is the space for Gongchang City's open market? I have to calculate the scale when repairing it."

"It's enough to simply renovate it first, and then we can slowly rebuild it depending on the size of the market. I estimate that the scale of the market will not be too big at the beginning. After all, we are a small place. No matter how productive we are, we won't be able to produce as much." There are too many things." Compared with the market in Beixiang, Yungu is really a small force, and the trade volume between the two parties should not be large at the beginning.

"Well! By the way, this year's entrance examination will start soon. Are you prepared for the test questions?" Jiang Yunjin simply skipped the discussion with Beixiang and directed the topic to the upcoming Yungu second semester. Second Admissions Examination.In his opinion, this is the fundamental thing of Yungu, and nothing else is as important as it.

"I've been so busy lately that I don't have time to take care of the recruitment. Let's do this. My uncle will organize people first and draw up some test questions based on last year's pattern. I'll just check them." Arranging test papers is a meticulous job. Song Yingkui had a lot to think about recently, and he really couldn't bring himself to write the test questions seriously. It was not because he wanted to be lazy.

"I can organize it, but you have to set a theme first, so that it's not easy to go astray. Also, there are more scholars coming to Taoyang from Hexi recently. They should be interested in our recruitment. I wonder if they can recruit them. our school?"

"If they are interested, they can refer to it. To be honest, the number of scholars in our country is still a little small. It would be a good thing to attract more scholars to join us.

However, we must be principled when it comes to scholars. When recruiting them, we must put myself first, and let them adapt to our rhythm, rather than us adapting to them.The examination questions mainly focus on the current primary school curriculum and should not be too difficult, but the method of setting the questions must use the model of last year and must not be close to the Dazheng scientific examination.

By the way, how is the progress of setting up primary schools in various towns now? "Speaking of education, Song Yingkui thought of the issue of education popularization and quickly expressed his concern about the progress of education popularization.

"Except for Taozhou and Hezhou, which currently have one primary school each, primary schools in other towns have been set up. Starting next year, the children under Yungu will have no worries in studying. However, there are still some shortages of teachers in each primary school. "My second uncle has always been very concerned about running the school and keeps a close eye on the progress.

Under the rule, the children will have no worries about studying?Second uncle is a little too optimistic!Only then can we set up primary schools in major towns. In Song Yingkui's opinion, if we want to basically popularize education, at least one primary school must be established in each township.

In order to prevent his second uncle from being too complacent, Song Yingkui said: "We have just taken the first step in running a school. From now on, for our children in Yungu, it is best for all boys to enter elementary school for three years, and girls too." Some of them must be able to enter primary school and learn simple literacy and arithmetic. Only when they achieve this level can they be considered as having no worries for their children to go to school.

Starting next year, primary schools will also be opened in townships with large populations.For towns with large populations like Wuying and Taoyang, having only one primary school in the town may not be enough.Furthermore, starting from the autumn, naturally this subject will be popularized in all primary schools. During the recruitment, three subjects will be tested. Each subject will be worth [-] points. Admissions will be ranked according to the total score of the three subjects.

Also, normal schools need to prepare for physical education subjects. All primary schools within the territory must have physical education subjects within five years. Entrance examinations for higher education will also require physical education examinations. "

Song Yingkui believes that the subject of physical education is no less important than the other three basic courses, so it is urgent to incorporate physical education into primary school education and give it the status of a main course.Carrying out physical education can also solve the employment problem of some retired soldiers, which is killing two birds with one stone.

This was the first time that my second uncle heard the term physical education. He was confused and asked: "Physical education? I wonder what physical education teaches?"

"The so-called physical education is the study of training and cultivating the body. The main content taught is the method of improving the body, which is similar to the training in the military."

"Ah? By setting up this class in primary school, does it deviate from the way of educating people through reading?" After the second uncle figured out what the physical education class was, he said doubtful words with a fixed mindset.

"The scientific examination only tests literature and does not pay attention to sports. This is a deviation from the way of educating people through reading. What is a person? What is educating people? I think it can be summed up in one sentence, barbaric body and civilized spirit.

Can you be a good man if you are not in good health?If you only educate the mind but not the body, the students you teach will be half disabled.In terms of running a country, a strong body is the most basic condition for survival. If your body is not strong, even if you have a lot of knowledge, you will not be able to use it. "

Savage body, civilized spirit?It sounded very strange, but after Song Yingkui explained it, it seemed to make sense.The second uncle nodded uncertainly and did not continue to dwell on this topic. He turned back to his office and started preparing for the exam papers.

No matter how important physical education is, physical education will not be tested in the entrance examinations this year and next, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.
