The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 289 Education-oriented

Jia Sidao said indifferently: "It's okay. It's just a medal. The master just takes it."

Yang Lian Zhenjia thanked him and said: "Amitabha Buddha. That poor monk would rather be respectful than obedient."

"En. Jia Xuan."

"Here we come." Jia Xuan said, who was waiting outside the house.

"see a visitor out."

"Yes. Master Xiang." Jia Xuan stretched out his hand.He gestured to Yang Lian Zhenjia. "Master. Please."

when going out.Yang Lian Zhenjia quickly handed Jia Xuan a silver ticket and said: "My lord, it's a small meaning. It's not a respect. Please accept it."

Jia Xuan opened the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion himself: "Master, go slowly."

Yang Lian Zhenjia said with a smile: "The manager, please come back. See you next year."

Jia Xuan opened the banknote and looked at it.A knowing smile.This is a bank note with a denomination of 1 taels.Issued by the Royal Bank of the Song Dynasty.Jia Xuan is in a good mood.When you look out.Yang Lian Zhenjia had disappeared into the snowy night.There is still half a trace.

The admission of the second batch of freshmen of Lin'an University and the first batch of students of Lin'an Military University has been completed by the end of November.Although the total number is less than a fraction of an ordinary local university in later generations.But the degree of attention it has received is more than enough.

If it is said that the first enrollment of Lin'an University a few months ago had a great influence on the students who came to take the imperial examination.Then this time the enrollment can be said to have shocked the entire Lin'an City.Most Lin'an families are proud that their children can be admitted to two universities.Especially after the propaganda of the Dasong Royal News and other Lin'an newspapers.Many applicants also came from areas around Lin'an.The farthest people even came from the faraway Chengdu.

Although neither university belongs to the newly established Ministry of Education and Health.I still ordered.Let Jiang Wanli's Ministry of Education participate in the whole enrollment process.On the one hand, it can solve the problem of insufficient manpower in the enrollment of the two universities.The second is to prepare for the opening of other types of schools in the future.

For the direction of national education.My plan is set according to the education system of university, middle school and primary school in later generations.This is also one of the main tasks of the Ministry of Education and Health in the future.

The last afternoon of November in the first year of Xianchun.I summoned Jiang Wanli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Education, He Ji and Shen Yiqiu, vice presidents of Lin'an University, Shi Yanzhi, president of Military University, and Quan Jue, who is also the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences, in the imperial study.

"See Your Majesty."

"Excuse me. Five lovers. Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Dear dears. I called you here today. I want to talk about our future education. You five can be said to be the leaders of our education circle. And education is the foundation of our future. The improvement of the quality of the whole people The popularization of all kinds of talents is the key to the development of each generation. This requires education to play a role. It is also the fundamental value of education. Therefore, the burden on you is very heavy. I think it is no less than the military and government affairs. It can be said that my future lies with you guys."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The ministers will do their best."

I look at five people.He said with a smile: "The so-called education is the whole process of cultivating the new generation to prepare for social life. It is also the key link for the inheritance and development of human social production experience. Most of my current education exists in the form of privately taught academies. But the taught However, the education I am talking about is to vigorously promote natural science. This requires far-sighted academies to gradually turn to natural science-led studies. Of course. For these traditional academies, I do not We will not make hard and fast rules. Let a hundred flowers bloom. This is the foundation of education.”

Jiang Wanli, He Ji and others have their own experiences as academy deans.He is very clear about the traditional academy model.Jiang Wanli asked: "Your Majesty, will my education system in the future still focus on academies?"

I shook my head and said: "No. Regarding my future education direction, the content should be transferred to the aspect of natural science. I have already decided on this point. You don't need to doubt it. Of course. I don't mean traditional The culture is not good. Traditional culture needs to be inherited and developed. It should also adapt to the development of the times. However, if we want to rejuvenate our dynasty and establish the immortal foundation of our Song Dynasty, we must achieve a leading position in natural science. This requires The Ministry of Education vigorously promotes it. This is also the purpose of establishing the Ministry of Education. The new education system will be dominated by new types of schools. For example, in the future, various universities represented by Lin'an University will gradually replace the original Taixue, National Zi Xue. I plan to set up three levels of schools in our territory starting from next year. These schools are all based on the subjects taught by Lin’an University. I will strive to popularize them within ten to twenty years.”

Jiang Wanli asked again: "Your Majesty, universities already have a ready-made model. What about primary and secondary schools?"

"Ai Qing, don't be in a hurry. Ladies and gentlemen, drink tea while listening to me explain clearly." I also took a sip of the tea ceremony. "You all know the universities. At present, we have Lin'an University and Military University. But this is not enough. From next year, according to the needs of development, we will gradually establish various types of universities with more specialization in the territory of our dynasty. Faculty. For example. Currently, there are very few professors who are qualified for natural science subjects. Then the Ministry of Education should first set up a special teacher training college. It is responsible for training teachers and professors of various subjects. Another example. There are not enough doctors. Then a special faculty can also be established School of Medicine. It is similar to the School of Medicine of Lin'an University. It is responsible for training the doctors of our dynasty. That is, doctors and doctors. These schools can be established in Lin'an according to needs. They can also be established in various provinces and provinces outside Lin'an. It is not necessary to be completely concentrated in Lin'an .This is similar to the academies I go to all over the world.”

"Next, let me talk about primary and secondary schools. As for education, I mean that people in my dynasty should accept it from an early age. When children are six or seven years old, they can enter primary schools. The main content that primary school students must learn is Literacy, numeracy, and basic knowledge of various natural sciences. For example, in mathematics. To learn the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. To know my general Xie's number recording method, etc. In middle school, you must learn more In-depth basic knowledge. That is to lay a solid foundation for entering university. Get ready." I saw that everyone didn't understand it very well.After thinking about it. "That's it. Let me take the traditional teaching that everyone is familiar with as an example. Primary school students should start with literacy. They should be able to make simple sentences and conversations. Then they should be able to write some small articles. They should be able to recite simple poems and songs. In middle school. Able to write general policy theory proficiently. After entering the university, you have to conduct research by major. Some people can specialize in poetry, some can specialize in ancient literature, etc. This is the meaning of primary and secondary schools. Do you understand? "

Jiang Wanli nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I understand. In this way, a ladder-like student structure can be formed. The number of primary school students who can read and write is the largest, while the number of college students who are engaged in specialized research is the least. This model is also similar to the imperial examination. From scholar to scholar To the Jinshi Juren. First-level first-level."

"En. Aiqing is right. First of all, I plan to start from the state capital level. Then I will go to the county level. Township development. The school will start from the two ends. That is, the university and the primary school. Then develop to the middle school. Jiang Aiqing. The specific work will be handed over to your Ministry of Education."

"Yes. Your Majesty. I obey the order." Jiang Wanli said.

I then said to Shi Yanzhi: "The military university will be independent of the Ministry of Education. For the time being, it will be affiliated with the Military Affairs Academy."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shi Yan replied.

Shen Yiqiu said: "Your Majesty, whether to keep the imperial examinations or not?"

"Traditional education such as imperial examinations and academies will be preserved."

He Jidao: "Your Majesty, we want to open various schools across the country. There should be two main issues at present. One is the issue of funding. The other is the issue of teachers. How does Your Majesty plan on these two points?"

"He Aiqing is right. Funding and teachers are the two major difficulties in running a school. As for the school's funds, I will ask the Ministry of Households to allocate special funds to the Ministry of Education for overall arrangement. In the future, I plan to draw a certain amount based on the total amount of national tax revenue each year. At the same time, let the local government find a way to raise part of the funds. You can also let kind-hearted private funds to run schools. In poor remote mountainous areas, you can also use the Red Cross to open hope schools. In short, open universities, middle schools and primary schools. It is an important event for the whole people to participate in. I will make popularization of education a long-term basic national policy of my dynasty. First of all, I will start with the popularization of primary schools. As for teachers. Judging from the current situation, it is even more important. It’s difficult. Although there are many literati in my dynasty, there are too few talents who are proficient in natural science. What suggestions do you have?”

He Ji said: "Your Majesty, there are many academies in my dynasty. Can I recruit from these places?"

"Of course. It's just that there is a lack of professors who are proficient in natural science in the academy."

Shen Yiqiu said: "Your Majesty, I have two methods."

"Ai Qing. Please tell me."

"Your Majesty. First of all, the local governments can select young talents who are interested in education. They will be sent to Lin'an University. The university will conduct short-term training courses. This is similar to the training method adopted by the Red Cross. When they have a preliminary After the knowledge, you can go back to teach some basic courses. When you are on vacation, you can come to the university to receive the second training. This cycle can solve part of the teacher's problem; the second is what your majesty mentioned earlier. Open a teacher training college. Please ask Jiang Shangshu made it a top priority for the Ministry of Education."

"En. It's doable. That's right. He Aiqing."

"The minister is here."

"You take the time to tell Jiang Aiqing about the salaries of the gentlemen of Lin'an University. Jiang Aiqing can learn from it. Then formulate the salary standard for me to teach teachers in schools at all levels in the future. Let the gentlemen who are interested in education have no worries about food and clothing. More Let them know. Their treatment will be the same as that of our court officials."

"Yes. I obey the order." He Ji and Jiang Wanli said at the same time.
