"It's just a pity that according to the relevant laws of Lujiang that I have learned, you seem to stipulate that only scholars and scholars can enter it for unlimited time to browse. For ordinary people, not only the time of entry needs to be reserved in advance, but also the total time have to be restricted..."
"Of course, I also know what you mean. Lujiang has a large population and many talents. Even if the library occupies a huge area, it is impossible to support all the people to enter it. What's more, if everyone goes to study, no one is engaged If it is produced, the development of the entire Lujiang River will be affected."
"It's just that, for half-grown children like Pang Tong and Pang Shanmin, the library's screening test for scholars is really too strict..."
……
He glanced at Zhang Yan with some shame, and Duke Pang De turned to look at the two children again.Speaking of this, his face became extremely gloomy.
When he first arrived in Lujiang, he led Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong to kill the library with full confidence.
However, Mr. Pound did not expect that the two people who had been familiar with all kinds of classics and classics since they were young, and they could be regarded as "abundant in academic ability", failed one after another in the examinations for scholars in the large library.
Pang Tong is fine. According to him, although the topic is difficult, if you try it a few more times, it is not impossible.
But for Pang Shanmin, who is relatively backward, it is not a matter of trying a few times.
People can do anything in a hurry, except counting.
"Uh, what do you mean... the two of them are not allowed to go to the library to study anytime and anywhere according to Lujiang's regulations?"
"You want me to let go of the big library's restrictions on children?"
Hearing Mr. Pang De's big circle, boasting about himself and praising his contribution to the Chinese culture, Zhang Yan didn't realize until the end what the old man meant.
It's nothing more than wanting to provide some benefits for the children, especially the children of the gentry class.
It's just that although this matter is simple, and what Pang De said is not unreasonable, but after Zhang Yan pondered for a while, he didn't speak out immediately, but looked up at the other party, wanting to hear what Pang De said next.
Indeed, the modification of the regulations is just a matter of Zhang Yan's words.But even without mentioning the impact of the change of the order from day to night on the stability of Lujiang, the fact that all children can enter the big library unconditionally is not as bright and great as it is said on the surface.
All the children, huh, huh, what a nice way to say it.
Can the children of farmers and the children of noble families really be generalized?
Giving both the same privileges, this kind of "absolute fairness" in the procedure will not be as simple as the fairness in the result.
Regardless of their age, most of the children of the gentry have received the most basic elementary education, and they can also be said to be able to read and write.
As for peasants and pawns, even some children from poor families with poor conditions, they do not have the conditions to enlighten their children.
Will a child who can't even read a book read?
The result of the seemingly fair process will be that the members of the aristocratic family will receive very significant social benefits, while the bottom-level people who are also members will not get any practical things in the process.
In this way, the development of Lujiang may advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, but the end result is that the aristocratic family class will become more and more solidified, which obviously runs counter to his ultimate goal.
"Well, do you want me to let go of the big library's restrictions on all children... What is this, the price I have to pay for running a school in Lujiang?"
He glanced at Pang Degong with some hesitation, even if Zhang Yan had said before that he would give what he could, but this kind of request had obviously shaken his foundation.
In the words of some later generations, this is the "foundation of the country" of Lujiang, and also the foundation of Zhang Yan's conduct in the world: the word "equality" has been procedurally broken.
Because of the fair procedure, unequal social results have resulted, which Zhang Yan is unwilling to accept.
Fortunately, Mr. Pang De's original intention was not as dark as Zhang Yan imagined.After hearing Zhang Yan's rhetorical question, he was only slightly taken aback, then shook his head.
"Restrict access to all kids? How about that!"
"If it is really released, the children of the aristocratic family will get educational resources, but the children of the common people will not get it. After a long time like this, won't the aristocratic family always be the aristocratic family, and the head of Guizhou will always be the head of Guizhou?"
(②○㈥eight㈤⑥zero⑤three)
……
"Um, what did you say?"
Now, it was Zhang Yan's turn to be surprised.
No matter how thoughtful he was, he never thought that Mr. Pang De would actually say such words of "betrayal of the class" today.
No matter how it sounds, it sounds like what a person who is determined to break the monopoly of a family should say, not a son of a family, or even a speech that the head of a family should make. It has a sense of sight of a landlord who has devoted himself to advanced thinking after 2000.
However, Mr. Pang De didn't give him time to think too much. The other party just shook his head, and explained softly to Zhang Yan:
"My lord, didn't I say before that I want to run a school in Lujiang?"
"I mean, can you see if this can be done? I run a school in Lujiang, and you can send the children you have a good relationship with to study with me. Although I, Pang Shangchang, am not the son of a big family, I am a gentleman in terms of governing the world and governing the country. , I still have some thoughts."
"In exchange, I hope you will allow my students to go to the library to study at any time. After all, the weight of books is known from ancient to modern times. If there is such a god to help me, I don't know how much effort I will save my students."
"Finally, if you are willing, I can also bring my friends over here."
"They are all celebrities in the Jingbei area, and they are still very good."
Chapter 22 The Academy of Lujiang People
Are you excited?
Yes, Zhang Yan was very moved.
……
If you want to know who Lord Pang De is, he is the most famous hermit in Jingzhou!
For example, the names of "Wolong", "Fengchu", and "Shuijing" in the mouths of later generations were all called by him at first. After a long time, the scholars in Jingzhou and even in China also accepted them. that title.
Judging from this kind of influence, those friends whom the other party mentioned earlier who are willing to invite to run the school together will not be ordinary characters.
From Huang Chengyan, a famous man in Jingzhou, to Xu Shu, a very famous espionage strategist, and others, these are all friends of Lord Pang De.Even some wealthy families in Yingchuan will be influenced by him to a certain extent.
Therefore, it can be said that anyone who has heard of his name will basically not refuse Duke Pound's promise just now.
……
Do you want to agree?
In fact, I still want to agree.
……
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yan's heart beat unconsciously after he figured out what the other party was thinking.
The fact that the other party asked for his disciples to use the library freely is not too difficult to accept, nor is it as far-reaching as he guessed before that the complete opening of the library to children would be so far-reaching.
But in return, whether it is the fact that Mr. Pang De just promised to be a teacher and let him send loyal scribes to study under him, or the fact that the other party mentioned that he is willing to invite friends to come to Lujiang together, for Zhang Yan The attraction is also really great.
Zhang Yan could feel that this incident seemed to be a turning point. As long as he could make good use of it, it would not be impossible to reshape his reputation from the trend of the whole family.
Just because of the vision and insight of a traveler, after gritted his teeth and endured for a long time, he still shook his head lightly, suppressing the impulse in his heart to immediately agree to the other party.
Opposite him, a look of disappointment appeared on Lord Pang De's face.
"This...is there any difficulty for you, sir? Or are you dissatisfied with my proposal?"
Feeling a bit disappointed, he asked Zhang Yan, Mr. Pang De didn't quite understand why the two of them said something well just now, but Zhang Yan rejected him in the blink of an eye.
"No, I'm not dissatisfied with the proposal."
"I think, Mr. Pound, your idea is very good, very good."
Zhang Yan's answer made him even more confused.
"No dissatisfaction?"
"Then you mean..."
……
"I mean, I'm fine with the offer, so why not play a big one?"
"Mr. Pang De, I think you need to be clear about one thing, that is, you are not only cooperating with me alone, but also with the entire Lujiang River. We can definitely make a bigger move."
"You also said just now that if I open the access to the large library to students, you are willing to call all your friends to Lujiang, right?"
There was a faint gleam in his eyes, and the corners of Zhang Yan's mouth slightly raised, showing a hint of a smile.
"Since Mr. Pang De is willing to educate students as a teacher, let's just do it in one step, and don't hold that kind of family-style training class. This kind of education can be normalized and standardized."
"I don't know, have you heard of the Academy?"
……
That's right, it's the Academy.
As a higher education institution that has been passed down for a long time in Chinese history, Xuegong first appeared in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. In order to realize the education of their offspring, merchants at that time raised funds and invited scholars to be teachers to teach their children to read and write. It's like a group of parents paying for a teacher to set up a tutoring class.
Later, after the initial formation of the Warring States situation, the monarch of Qi State, in order to vigorously develop Qi State’s economic construction capabilities and at the same time attract external talents to enter Qi State, funded by the government and held the first real public higher education institution in Chinese history. Linzi, the capital of the state of Qi, was the boundary, and a school was built close to the city wall of Linzi.
Because the city wall was called "Ji" at that time, this public school was also called "Jixia School".
As a serious old Jingzhou scholar, Mr. Pang De naturally knew about such things as the Academy, and he had also heard of the prestige of the Jixia Academy back then.
That place can be said to be the working environment that anyone who is engaged in education work like him dreams of.
Although I don't know why Zhang Yan mentioned the most primitive "government school" like Xuegong, but considering the current context, Mr. Pang De felt that in all likelihood, the other party was referring to Jixia Xuegong.
Thinking of this, he shivered suddenly.
If what Zhang Yan is referring to is really that place, then in a sense, this is really achieved in one step.
A pair of piercing eyes stared at Lord Pang De's eyes, and Zhang Yan's words continued in his ears.
Although the words were not fast, they were resounding, and every word seemed to reach Lord Pang De's heart, making his blood that had gradually cooled down with age become hot again.
……
"Mr. Pang De, I don't know how many friends you have in total, but I know the situation in Lujiang very well."
"According to the results of the last round of census, Lujiang County has a population of 110 million, and more than half of them live in Wancheng, Shu County, Qian County, and Xiang'an County."
"In terms of education, Wancheng has the highest average education level. About one in 500 people is literate, and one in every 3000 people is a descendant of an aristocratic family. The number of these scholars may add up to [-] to [-]... ..."
"You add your friends, counting all the counts, can there be ten?"
"Even if only one tenth of Lujiang students want to study under your school, then according to the original private school education, these two 300 people can still teach you for 30 to [-] years!"
"The population of Lujiang is still growing. After 30 or [-] years, when you have finished teaching this batch, the next batch of scholars will have grown up. Will you have the heart to refuse them when they are waiting for food? "
"You will not."
"Traditional... no, it's because my Han traditional education method is no longer enough to satisfy the status quo, but the Academy can. Since you have the heart, and I am willing to support you as the prefect of Lujiang, why don't we just work together to run the school? What about building a school in Lujiang?"
It has to be said that every sentence of Zhang Yan seemed to have magical powers, drawing a beautiful picture in front of Lord Pang De.
Originally, Pang Degong thought that he would combine education with books and take advantage of the convenience of the large library in Lujiang to run a school, which was a very progressive idea, but he didn't want Zhang Yan, who was the prefect, to think farther and farther than him, and the scale was also grander. .
