Chapter 150 Education
Liu Hua understood that education must have official investment, and relying solely on private education would naturally form a monopoly, just like the Jixia Academy in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In ancient times, aristocratic families were the product of knowledge monopoly. In modern times, the anti-intellectual phenomenon in the West is also the result of private monopoly of educational resources. Basically, it does not give any chance to the common people. The so-called happy education is nothing more than entertaining people and fooling themselves. .

"My Lord is kind, but he doesn't know how many official schools we need to build?" Guo Jia asked. Guo Jia was born in a poor family and knew how difficult it was to study, so he naturally attached great importance to it.

Liu Hua glanced at Guo Jia and said, "Of course it's about universal literacy, universal literacy!"

After hearing Liu Hua's words, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, and the whole group fell silent for a while.

"Lord...Lord, you mean the whole people..." Zhang Liang's words were a little trepidatory.

Being born in a noble family, he knows best that almost everyone who studies is a person who is out of work. Although he also realized the importance of teaching literacy after he created the Taoist Legion by himself, he was also criticized when he heard that Liu Hua was literate among the people. Shocked.

Although reading and literacy is a necessary condition for becoming an official, it is not possible for those who are literate in the library to become an official, and learning itself is a long and hard work.

Now that Liu Hua has proposed universal literacy, everyone understands that this investment is a bottomless pit.

Liu Huadao: "As long as the country I founded remains, universal literacy must continue.

First, I need to let everyone understand that the unification of the world is the general trend, and I do not hope that division and rebellion will continue in the future.

I can use the army and power to suppress this generation, but after that, I can only rely on education to give them a unified sense of belonging!That is, ideological unity. "

Historically, it was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who achieved this. He did not rely on deposing hundreds of schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism. He relied on the great cause of defeating the Xiongnu Empire and shaped the backbone of the Han nation. What Liu Hua had to do was to use education to shape the backbone of the Han nation. National consciousness.

In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism. Instead, he adopted the policy of "opening up the road to arts and extending all the schools of thought." That is to say, while elevating Confucianism to the official ideology, he also The learning of various schools of thought has been preserved.

It is a pity that the later emperors did not realize this and were deceived by Confucianism.

Hearing Liu Hua's words, everyone present was relieved of their desire to persuade.

Just like the canal plan just now, if it is for Liu Hua's personal desires, then naturally no one is willing to accept it.

But if it is for the stability of the entire rule, as bureaucrats they will naturally agree with this opinion, because they also hope to inherit it.

"But this requires a huge investment of resources, teachers, venues, teaching materials, and students. These problems all need to be solved!"

Chen Ping, who like Guo Jia comes from a lower class background, both agrees with universal education, but these immediate problems need to be solved.

Liu Hua nodded and said: "National literacy must be done as a century-old plan. It is very likely that you and I are buried, and this matter may not be halfway done. But even so, it must be done. , but cannot tolerate a moment of neglect.

And I want to divide it into three parts, one is university education, the other is adult education, and the third is formal education. "

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty!" Tian Feng stepped forward and respectfully addressed Liu Hua.

Liu Hua nodded and said: "The so-called university education, I want to include all three religions, nine schools, and hundreds of schools of thought.

Only the genres here are the genres recognized by us.
Every five years, one year before we designate a national development plan, each school in the university needs to submit a political agenda.

We will modify our plan to a certain extent based on the political agenda of various schools of thought, so that the development plan we formulate will be more in line with the national conditions.Therefore, the teachers here are provided by various schools of thought. We will build a new Jixia Academy as a teaching venue. The teaching materials will be compiled by each school and will be taught after our official appraisal and approval.

As for the students, you can tell everyone that one-half must be reserved for our officials as a reserve for our future officials. "

"This will definitely bring back the prosperous age of Jixia Academy. Sir, why don't you let me serve as a sacrificial wine for the Academy and devote some of my attention to the Academy!" At this time, Zhang Liang reacted and said quickly.

To be honest, not only them, but also Fang Xuanling, Kou Xun, Zhang Liang and others were eager to try and competed for this position.

"Stop arguing, this seat for offering wine is reserved for my name!" Liu Hua said, "Because there will be a military cadet here, mainly to provide talents for the army.

At the same time, talented people with outstanding performance in the army will also be sent to this academy for further training, and will be sent back to the army after passing the exam.Therefore, I can only be the sacrificial wine in this university.

But I don't care about the specific affairs. Since most of your tasks are quite heavy, then Zhang Liang, you and Lu Zhi just come to take over this university, to manage and coordinate the chores of various schools of thought, and to be responsible for literacy tasks. "

"No!" Zhang Liang walked out and took over the task neatly. The reason why Zhang Liang was chosen was because the Taoist system he created requires too many literate talents. Putting Zhang Liang in charge can better train soldiers. students.

"No!" Needless to say, Lu Zhi, as a famous Confucian scholar in the world, could attract a large number of students and scholars to Liu Hua. Especially now that Confucianism was suppressed by Qin Shihuang, he was naturally very happy to take over this task.

Liu Hua nodded and continued, "The next step is adult education. The purpose of this teaching is simple, which is pure literacy.

After the university is established, I will issue some tasks to let the poor students who work-study to teach the illiterate adults nearby. In addition, literate soldiers who have come out of the army will also be encouraged to educate the people and increase the literacy rate of the civilians as much as possible.

Of course, in this regard, we can only talk about personnel matters and obey fate. The next formal education is where we have to spend our thoughts.

Our goal is for all children aged 6 to 12 to receive formal education during the critical period of their thinking growth. "

"My lord, please let me know what you think!" Zhang Liang said.

Liu Huadao: "The most basic five years are the most important. I plan to adopt orphans from the war and provide them with unified training.

At the same time, through this opportunity, a group of teachers who can provide basic education will be cultivated to serve as the teaching staff when the school expands.

The issue of teaching materials requires you to put some thought into it and see if you can get hundreds of schools of thought to think of ways to compile a suitable teaching material.

As for the final venue issue, I don’t worry. At least the official schools are just worried about having no one to teach, not about having no place to teach! "

"No!" Zhang Liang frowned when he heard Liu Hua's words. He always felt as if he had fallen into a pit. Forget it, Lu Zhi was there to support him anyway.

Zhang Liang felt that he might have entered another Liu Hua's plan that lasted for at least a hundred years. If so, how could he cultivate immortality? !
Liu Hua looked at Zhang Liang and thought about it. Zhang Liang in history seemed to have gone to practice immortality, but ended up becoming mentally retarded from seeking saints and almost starved to death. He didn't know if he would be as good at cultivating immortality as his brother Zhang Jiao in this life. talent.

Now as his lord and Zhang Liang's niece and son-in-law, I have to take care of him no matter what, and I can't let him go astray.

As long as human beings are busy, they will never have time to cultivate immortality.
