Wentang

Chapter 321 Education for All
The arrival of Gan Yuanfeng and others finally liberated Yueshan from a lot of complicated work, and at the same time allowed him to quickly complete the control of Yanci and Bohai counties.

As for why there are only two counties instead of all six, the reason is simple.

On the one hand, there are not that many available, and on the other hand, you can't.

After all, Datang's surname is Li, not Yue.The government and the public acquiesce that Dezhou is Yueshan's territory, which does not mean that Dezhou is really his.

This so-called territory is an experimental field for you to experiment with your policies.

If you have a decision related to the national level, when everyone is undecided for a while, you can conduct experiments in the experimental field.

To give the simplest example, when Wang Anshi reformed in the Song Dynasty, the court divided Wang Anshi's experimental fields in some areas at the very beginning.The main officials here are Wang Anshi's cronies to facilitate the implementation of his reform plan.

It has been successfully implemented in the experimental field, and it will be implemented nationwide.

At the same time, this experimental field is also a place to cultivate direct descendants. Qualified bigwigs in the court have their own experimental fields.

But this does not mean that Yue Shan can do whatever he wants in the experimental field. For example, he cannot replace all the officials with his own people now.The main officials can be their own people, but not everyone.

The experimental field is also the land of the country, it is impossible to let him do whatever he wants, there must be balance and everything.

Other bigwigs can also place cronies here, but their cronies can't take the initiative to prevent others from conducting experiments here, nor can they make small moves behind the scenes.

If he really dared to replace all the people in Dezhou with his own people, it is estimated that there will be a secret decree to relieve him of his post and escort him back to Beijing in a few minutes.

Therefore, Yueshan only took over two counties in an all-round way. As for other counties, it is enough to select officials while cleaning.

Although Texas is remote and lacks culture and education, it still has some talents.After Yue Shan cleaned up the original officials, he promoted some local people who were close to him, and set aside a certain number of places for the imperial court to send officials to take over.

The work took more than a month to complete.

The fourth thing Yue Shan did was to build a school.

Naturally, he will not forget his old profession, which can be regarded as a long-term plan, which is to do his best in education.

It can be said that education is the core of a nation's long-term prosperity and the continuous inheritance of civilization, and it is the only core.

As for force, it can only be ranked in the second echelon.

The Chinese civilization has experienced several major troughs, but it has never sunk, and education is the biggest contributor.

So, there should be a wave of Confucius here.Many people may say, what does this have to do with him.

Another example that is diametrically opposed to our country can tell us why we should play Confucius.

When it comes to Africa, everyone's impression must be ignorance, backwardness, laziness and other negative words.

But is it really so?

The interior of Africa is indeed relatively primitive because of its terrain, but the countries and tribes along the coast have also given birth to brilliant civilizations.

It's just that their education is always elite education and noble education, and common people are not qualified to read and write.

When the Western colonists arrived, they captured and killed those nobles and elites who could read and write, and the rest were all civilians who could not read a single word.

During the 300 years of slave trade, 3000 million Africans became slaves, but Africa lost more than [-] million people.

Among the [-] million people, most of them are the elite with knowledge, and the rest are illiterate and soft-boned.

Everyone can see what the result is.

Don't the Western colonists want to do this after entering China?Of course I want to.

However, they found that it was impossible, because Chinese education is for all people.Wanting to destroy China's intellectual class is tantamount to killing everyone in China, which is simply unrealistic.

Moreover, the civilized Chinese have never given up resistance, and are constantly seeking to become stronger.Eventually we got back on our feet.

Some people in later generations got used to adoring foreign countries, coupled with the confusion of public knowledge, they devalued Confucianism as worthless, and Confucius became the target of being sprayed.

Although Yue Shan hadn't sprayed it, he was inevitably affected, and he didn't have much feeling for Confucius.

It wasn't until he saw the comparison between these two periods of history that he deeply understood why Confucius was called the teacher of all ages.

He broke the aristocracy's monopoly on reading and literacy, and this alone is enough to be grateful to future generations.

Closer to home, it is precisely because of a little understanding that Yue Shan has always had a different feeling for education.

He opened the academy not just to train his direct descendants, and he bewitched Li Shimin to build a school and government system not just to deal with the aristocratic family...

The real reason is actually to eliminate illiteracy and to let more people learn knowledge.

Since Dezhou has become his experimental field, it is natural to set up an academy.His plan is to set up two larger academies in Yanci and Bohai counties to recruit more students.

The textbooks are the same as Longshoushan Academy, and the dozen or so officials from the academy recommended by him can be guest teachers.

It is best for the first batch of students recruited by the academy to be older and take a crash course for a year or so.

After they graduated, they spread to all places in the six counties of Texas to open academies.

As for the money to open the academy... Dezhou is the center of sea salt production, and the most important thing is money.

Yue Shan believes that after three to five years like this, the appearance of Dezhou will definitely surprise people.If it takes three to fifty years, it will definitely become the only place in Datang.

It is not enough to run an academy with only a teacher, but also a highly respected chief person in charge.Originally, Gan Yuanfeng was the most suitable, but unfortunately he was busy with work and didn't have that time, and the others who came with him were similar.

Just when Yue Shan was thinking about whether to transfer one from the academy, an unexpected person came over.

Seeing the visitor, Yue Shan smiled: "Inspector Yu, this is really a rare visitor, what gust of wind brought you here?"

Being tricked by Yue Shan and witnessing the process of the public trial and the subsequent beheading process, Yu Kexun was annoyed and afraid of Yue Shan, but fortunately he was out of sight and out of mind.Basically avoid him.Yue Shan was really surprised to find him here for the first time today.

Hearing the ridicule, Yu Kexun's face immediately turned a little ugly, so he said coldly: "Study style."

"Study style?" Yue Shan was taken aback for a moment before realizing what this "study style" was.But when I realized it, I was even more surprised.

"Inspector Yu can also play charades, which is very rare." Yue Shan said calmly.

In fact, he did not understand what Yu Kexun meant.

"I heard you're going to open an academy?" Yu Kexun didn't beat around the bush, or he wanted to finish his sentence in a few words, and then never see Yue Shan again.

"Yes. Why, Yu Cishi wants to become a teacher? If that's the case, it's really the luck of the academy and the students." Yue Shan joked.

However, the lack of Yu Kexun's next words made him unable to hide his inner emotions anymore, and he was stunned on the spot.

Hearing Yue Shan teasing him, instead of getting angry, Yu Kexun took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay, that's the deal."
