Chapter 115 Culture and Education

"Don't you want to teach in the school and go out to do things?" Qi Tian looked at the dozen young people in front of him and frowned.

They were all teenagers who had studied with him. In more than three years, they had almost learned a lot from simple reading and writing, to mechanical theory, and even political, economic and cultural concepts. Although their knowledge may not even be the same.

They are not as good as ordinary Ming Dynasty scholars, but the knowledge they have been instilled is very broad, and their vision and thinking have also been opened. The only thing they lack is probably practical experience.

The original fifty or sixty teenagers have gradually grown up. Except for a few older ones who were assigned to the military and civilian and naval and military schools, most of them still stay in Jianye City School, learning more and deeper knowledge while working part-time.

Teaching children in junior schools to read and write.

"General manager, we have been studying for three years. Although we cannot achieve any advanced knowledge, we are barely qualified to serve as civil affairs officials." Cao Deming said: "In the near future, a large number of immigrants will arrive one after another, and various civil affairs departments and counties will

There is a great shortage of auxiliary administrative staff in the town. At this time, we can apply what we have learned and educate and guide the new immigrants to consolidate the foundation of Hanzhou."

"However, I want you to continue studying, and your part-time professorship is also the most critical." Qi Tian said: "I have emphasized to you several times that the development of a country is based on talents. At the same time, there is another more important thing.

The key factor is that we need a large number of people who share a common philosophy and values. Our Hanzhou was only established four years ago, and most of the residents are from the Ming Dynasty, and they are either destitute and hungry people, or down-and-out literati and craftsmen."

"Although these people need support and shelter from us in Hanzhou at the beginning, they are our best public base. Everything they have is provided by us in Hanzhou, and they are naturally our supporters and advocates. However, we

The future development and strength of Hanzhou will fall on their next generation. You have studied politics with me for many years, and you may also feel that our development path in Hanzhou is already different from the Ming Dynasty model."

"Although most of the people in Hanzhou are still engaged in agricultural planting, we have invested more resources and energy in the development of the industrial and mining machinery industry. In the future, we will continue to increase investment, perhaps in a certain period

During this period, the interests of agricultural cultivation will even be sacrificed and occupied to cultivate and promote the development of industry and mining. In the future, the strength of our Hanzhou, the expansion of our territory, and the increase in people's livelihood and well-being will all depend on this."

"To promote the development of industrial and mining industries and the advancement of science and technology, we cannot do without the cultivation of talents. You may be the first batch of students in Hanzhou who have preliminary comprehensive knowledge and forward-looking ideas. I hope you can continue to study

Learn deeper knowledge, whether it is mathematics, physics, chemistry, or mechanics. Every bit of your research results will promote the technological progress of our Hanzhou."

"I might as well tell you that those students who have no intention of entering school or even mastering newer and deeper knowledge, I put them into the military and civilian affairs to serve as officials and subordinates. You are the seeds of my Hanzhou. You should multiply quickly and reproduce in large numbers to join us.

Students of common belief. If we only rely on those scholars collected from the Ming Dynasty to teach our next generation, how can we know that Hanzhou will not turn into the second Ming Dynasty?"

After hearing what Qi Tian said, Cao Deming and others were suddenly a little excited. It turned out that each of them would play such a great role in Hanzhou in the future. Qi Tian never let them come out to do things. It was not because he did not pay attention to them.

It is about letting them shoulder the burden of dissemination and teaching, instilling some ideas and concepts with Hanzhou's new development model into those children, and gathering more fans with the same values, laying the foundation for the future development of Hanzhou.

Fundamentals and technical foundations.

"Although we have compiled books in line with the Hanzhou model for the children in the school, the former Daming scholar who serves as a professor will teach the children more or less based on his own understanding or his already fixed thinking.

, it is inevitable to substitute some bad

and unrealistic and useless knowledge. You must correct them in time and forcibly instill ideas that are in line with the development of our Hanzhou. You must also select the best students among them and cultivate them into talents that Hanzhou urgently needs in all aspects.

"Qitian continued.

"Don't worry, General Manager. When I return to school, I will definitely study hard and research more profound knowledge to lay the foundation for the development of Hanzhou and the advancement of technology."

Qi Tian looked at the many students leaving the classroom and felt quite pleased. Now, some of them have begun to learn some of the knowledge of later generations of junior high and high schools that Qi Tian recalled, and they are also familiar with various types of medicine, various industries, and agriculture collected from the Ming Dynasty.

In-depth practice and summary of planting, mining and smelting and other related books have played a considerable role in promoting the industrial development of Hanzhou.

In the future, these outstanding students will never be able to enter the military and civilian affairs and become an officer or a politician. They may be the first batch of "high-end" talents in Hanzhou, and more talents must be incubated and cultivated.

"General manager, how did you persuade them to continue studying safely?" Song Yingxing asked curiously.

He also admires these students very much. They are not only broad-minded, but also knowledgeable. You must know that these people were just lonely young men from the Ming Dynasty, or ordinary farmers' children brought from Luzon. It is because they have followed Qi for three years.

Study together, discuss together, and practice together every day, and you will be able to draw inferences about many matters and master them quickly.

Now, Song Yingxing has lived in Hanzhou for nearly a year, and he feels that he has received unprecedented attention. No matter what tools or scientific experiments he needs, the Hanzhou Civilian Government will try its best to provide them. At present, the remote building in Hanzhou

He is responsible for presiding over and managing the Tiangong Institute, which conducts scientific theoretical research, and the Black Mountain Research Institute, which is more experimental in nature.

For a scholar who specialized in scientific research in the early stage, but later turned to scientific research due to unsatisfactory official career, there is no better environment than Hanzhou, with material, human and financial resources to support and promote it in all aspects

.Here, he gained a sense of satisfaction and achievement that he had never experienced in Ming Dynasty.

"I just advised them to study for the rise of Hanzhou, to study for the spread of Chinese civilization all over the world, and to study for the Han people to stand on top of the world." Qi Tian said with a smile.

When Song Yingxing heard this, he couldn't help but look at each other with Wang Zheng who came with him. Qitian has such great ambitions!

"Two old men, I came to the university hall this time to talk to you about the issues of primary and secondary education in Hanzhou." Qi Tian said seriously: "I think the content taught in Hanzhou's schools needs to be changed.

"

"How to change it again?" Wang Zheng said with some dissatisfaction. As the director of the Cultural and Educational Department of the National Government, he was very concerned about this and was more sensitive. I have been a scholar all my life, but I still don't know how to teach and educate people?

"I want to delete the elementary and intermediate Confucian scriptures again, and when writing the documents, that... try not to follow the ancients, don't imitate the eight-part essay, it is best to be easy to understand." Qi Tian considered the language and said: "In this way, the elementary level Chinese language education at intermediate and intermediate levels will become simpler, making it easier for students to learn."

"Don't we in Hanzhou pride ourselves on inheriting Chinese civilization and traditional culture?" Wang Zheng said solemnly: "Last year, you already eliminated most of the Confucian classics from teaching content, and now you are going to delete them again, and even make them Teach students rough and crude writing! With such an education in Hanzhou, how dare you talk about inheritance?"

"Mr. Liangfu, I would like to ask, what is the purpose of teaching and educating people?" Qitian asked.

"The purpose of teaching and educating people is naturally to obtain enough useful talents for Hanzhou." Wang Zheng said: "Of course, for an individual, it may be possible to cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Even the worst can make the world peaceful. People who read can understand things, distinguish truth from falsehood, identify loyalties and traitors, and take into account the overall situation."

"How many years of study will it take to cultivate one's moral integrity, govern one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world?" Qitian asked.

"...In ten years, it may be possible." Wang Zheng hesitated for a moment and then said.

"In ten years, what we have been waiting for in Hanzhou are just a large number of Confucian scholars who are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics? Can so many Confucians promote the development of Hanzhou? Mr. Liangfu, whether in a country or a region, all personal development They all depend on society. For the government or a local force, education has no other purpose except to meet social needs. Moreover, the results or effects of education are measured by the degree to which it performs its social functions. We in Hanzhou currently need There are a large number of ordinary craftsmen, artists, officials and officers who can read and write. They do not need to have very advanced knowledge, and they do not need to write colorful articles. The main purpose of reading and writing is to be accurate and effective to communicate.”

"In any dynasty or country, there are definitely only a few people with profound knowledge. Or, we can put it more bluntly, education and learning are only the rights enjoyed by a few people. Those who can complete systematic education and possess profound knowledge People at this level are always very special people. According to the plan, our primary and secondary education in Hanzhou only lasts for about six years. If they have learned too many obscure Four Books and Five Classics, how much energy do they have to study other subjects? Professional knowledge and learning? How many people in Hanzhou do you think can become great Confucians?"

"So Hanzhou doesn't need to teach traditional Confucian classics?" Song Yingxing asked when he saw that Wang Zheng was silent and seemed to be thinking about what Qi Tian said.

"Of course the Confucian classics cannot be discarded completely." Qi Tian said: "After five or six years of study, more or less students will like to study Confucian classics and be able to understand them. In this way, they can continue to read Confucianism intensively to cultivate themselves. To bring order to the family, we can even govern the country and bring peace to the world."

"You in Hanzhou do not use Confucian classics to select scholars, so who would be willing to study them?" Wang Zheng sighed.

"Two old men, there is an ancient saying that is very good. A solid warehouse will reveal etiquette, and having enough food and clothing will reveal honor and disgrace. Similarly, once our country in Hanzhou grows in power, its products are abundant, and its people's living standards improve, there will naturally be spiritual problems. Pursuing, by then, in terms of culture and education in Hanzhou, not only the traditional Confucian culture, but also other literature such as Legalism, Politicians, Mohism, and even Western literature will show a prosperous scene, forming a cultural event in which a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom."

"You in Hanzhou do not only respect Confucianism?"
