Volume 1: Jiangzhou Chapter 36: Compulsory Education
When Ling Xin'an looked at all the private school teachers in Jiangzhou City gathered together, she was shocked to understand.
Jiangzhou City is not big, but it is not small either. There are still hundreds of thousands of people, and there are tens of thousands of people in the city, but there are only a pitiful less than twenty private schools.
The gentlemen looked at Ling Xin'an's young but steady face, recalled what happened during this period, and more or less understood Ling Xin'an's origins.
"Students, please pay homage to all the teachers." Ling Xin'an did not make any excuses, but still bowed to the gentlemen respectfully.
Everyone also returned the gift one after another.
After everyone sat down, Ling Xin'an said: "I invite all the teachers to come over, but there is actually something I want to discuss with you."
"Sir Ling, it doesn't matter," said an obviously older man.
"Okay, Master Jiang." Ling Xin'an said, the old man was none other than Master Jiang, the most famous scholar in Jiangzhou City.
"Students want to build a school in Jiangzhou City. All Jiangzhou City disciples can enroll for free. What do you teachers think?" Ling Xin'an said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately went into an uproar. Even Master Jiang's dim eyes became brighter at this time, and he looked at Ling Xin'an with surprise in his eyes.
"Master Ling is so courageous. I don't know whether what you said is true or false, or whether you are just here to entertain me and other scholars." Someone immediately sneered from the side.
"If the student remembers correctly, you are Master Fan, right?" Ling Xin'an looked at the old man and said.
Teacher Fan nodded to show his acquiescence.
"How can students dare to entertain teachers with such a big event?" Ling Xin'an sat upright and said: "The ancients said that the so-called scholar is not about reciting chapters, practicing penmanship, or composing words, but about correcting one's mind, cultivating one's character, and keeping one's family in order.
Governing a country requires enlightening the world. Students believe that if the people are not enlightened, the country will not prosper. If you want to be enlightened, you must first educate. Now that the world is in trouble and powerful enemies are looking around, our great Zhou Dynasty is in danger. If the people do not know the country,
If the country does not love its people, if there is a war in the future, who can go to the battlefield and protect the country? Therefore, if students want to establish education, all the people under my jurisdiction in Jiangzhou can enter the school and study together."
Everyone was shocked by what Ling Xin'an said. After a long time, it was Master Jiang who spoke up: "Master Ling has the world in mind. It reminds me of the Grand Master who founded Wenshu Academy with Emperor Wu during the rise of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which makes me admire him."
"Master Jiang, you are too polite. Students are just doing what they can do. How dare you compare with the Grand Master?" Ling Xin'an said.
In fact, of course this is not the case. The purpose of establishing education is not only to open up the so-called people's wisdom, but more importantly, Ling Xin'an wants people in this world to accept a new set of educational theories, which are natural subjects such as physics and chemistry, which is also the theory of geology.
Greenhouse planting reminded him that even if Ling Xin'an came with knowledge from another world, he was just an entrepreneur who had graduated for many years. Many of the things he learned as a student had been forgotten.
If he hadn't come to this different world, after continuous martial arts practice, his memory would recover more and more powerfully, and he would have forgotten many knowledge points.
Since time travel can't exist with bugs like in novels, he can only rely on his existing knowledge and business model to lead this era in another direction. He believes that as long as he successfully plants a
Seed, given time, this seed will surely blossom and bear fruit. At that time, it will not be his turn to make a decision. All Ling Xin'an has to do is to successfully plant this seed.
No matter how much knowledge or ideas he has now, after all, there is only one person and it is impossible to do everything by himself. If he wants to find a place to live in this troubled world, he must use all his strength, as a great leader said
, unite all forces that can be united.
"Dear teachers, the students have already drawn up a school plan and sent people to find the school address. Once confirmed, the Chamber of Commerce will be found to start construction immediately and strive to complete the construction in mid-summer next year to recruit the first batch of students. Teachers also need to divide the age and age of the students.
For help." After saying that, Ling Xin'an bowed and paid tribute again.
At this time, everyone realized that Ling Xin'an was not discussing the feasibility or feasibility of establishing an education with them at all. They had already decided directly. They just needed everyone to think about how to run the school.
After hearing this, Master Jiang stood up and said with excitement: "Master Ling, is what you said true?"
"Of course it's true. Students don't know how to teach and educate people, but it's still very easy to build a school."
"And the students have also decided that all people under the jurisdiction of this government, regardless of gender, old or young, who want to enroll can just register. And it is free. Everything is free. This government is responsible for the salaries of teachers."
After hearing what Ling Xin'an said, a gentleman couldn't believe it: "Sir Ling, you said school is free?"
Ling Xin'an nodded: "Yes, admission is free until you are admitted to major colleges. As for the various details, teachers still need to draft them out, and then they will be awarded to the students."
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, some still couldn't believe it, as if they were in a dream, they said: "Master Ling, this expense is not small. It is not difficult to build a school, but the daily operation of the school and the expenses of the students are quite a lot.
expenditure."
Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "Teachers, don't worry about the students. Just leave these things to the students to consider. What you need to do is to think about how to run this school well, how many teachers are needed, how many classrooms, and how many grades are divided into. Please help me with these."
After the teacher goes back, he will write a plan for the students so that the students can make arrangements."
At this point, everyone understood and left one after another, but Ling Xin'an asked Master Jiang to stay.
"Master Jiang, students are polite." Ling Xin'an bowed respectfully.
"Master Ling, what are your orders for me to leave this old man behind?"
Ling Xin'an cried and laughed: "Master Jiang, please don't cancel your studentship, just call me Xiaoling."
Master Jiang smiled slightly and said with a faint smile on his face: "Speaking of which, you are not keeping me here just to drink tea here."
Ling Xin'an said quickly: "The students would like to ask you, Mr. Jiang, to be the first principal of our Jiangzhou Academy."
Hearing this, even Master Jiang, who was accustomed to being indifferent to fame and fortune, couldn't help but feel excited and surprised. He looked at Ling Xin'an with a solemn expression and said, "Boy, do you really mean what you said?"
"Otherwise?" Ling Xin'an said with a smile: "In our Jiangzhou Prefecture, the most respected person is you. Mr. Jiang, you are in good health. As the principal, you don't need to do much. I just need to rely on your prestige to make people more respected."
All students who want to enroll in the school will come under your guidance and continue to run this Jiangzhou University."
"Haha, you are so sincere," Mr. Jiang said with a smile, "Since you have said so much, I will risk my face to let you run this school."
"Student, on behalf of all the students in the world, thank the teacher!" After saying that, Ling Xin'an respectfully bowed to the student salute again.
Mr. Jiang stroked his short beard, his eyes were full of smiles, and he couldn't help but feel happy when he looked at Ling Xin'an.
There has never been an official who would set up a school during his term of office and provide free admission. Only the founder of Wenshu College had such a thing in history, but that was only free for students who could get into Wenshu College.
The academy is not free.
In the afternoon of that day, Ling Xin'an found Hu Bing, Duan Qing and others to talk about setting up a school.
Everyone couldn't help but get excited when they heard this. Although this era was full of wars and the literati were generally not as powerful as the generals in terms of force, none of those great Confucians had the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth.
Then Ling Xin'an asked Hu Bing and others to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, suitable for building a school. Because during this period, Duan Qing, Guo Song, Doukai and others had been busy with the matter of royal food, so these matters were handed over to Hu Bing.
Hu Bing asked Zou Wen to find the address.
Ling Xin'an nodded, Zou Wen, as a staff member, was a proper scholar.
Zou Wen also had great admiration for Ling Xin'an. Let's not talk about the spiritual veins, just the matter of the famous family. If Hu Bing had not warned him and told the family members not to mess with him, otherwise their family's fate would not be what it is today.
"The school is very important, so I will only leave it to the few of you sitting here to do it. As for who you ask to do it and how to do it, I don't ask. There are only two points. One is to do it according to my requirements.
, Second, it must be completed before mid-summer next year. So go back and ask your family. If you dare to take over, I will hand it over to you. If you dare not, I will hand it over to the three major chambers of commerce."
Zou Wen, Hu Bing, Duan Qing and others understood immediately.
Now they have long been tied to Ling Xin'an, and the interest structure of Jiangzhou City has long been occupied by these families. This is inevitable. Risking death to get rid of those previous prominent families, no one would do this without benefits.
Everyone nodded and left one after another.
Two days later, a group of masters headed by Mr. Jiang came to the government office again and came up with many plans.
Ling Xin'an looked at them one by one. Overall, the school was very organized, from classrooms to students and bachelors. The classifications were clear. Because it was free, they were screened out from the beginning, and those who had never attended school were all classified.
For a school, a school needs more classrooms. At different stages such as students, students, bachelors, etc., the corresponding number of students should be greatly reduced. There is no need to build too many schools at the beginning. First, it is to reduce unnecessary expenses, and at the same time,
Let's see how it works and so on.
Ling Xin'an clicked her tongue and nodded. Various matters were fully considered in it. After reading it, she couldn't help but be impressed by the masters in front of her.
After reading it, Ling Xin'an said: "Dear teachers, the students have no other requirements, only one request."
"Master Ling, please speak."
"Students requested to add a theory of investigation of things."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, but Mr. Jiang looked at Ling Xin'an, his eyes pondered, and he was silent.
"Studying makes people wise and builds a safe country. There is no doubt about this. But the study of things can also do the same, making people look at all things in the world from different angles. For example, this table and chair are taken for granted by everyone, but they don't know why they can bear them.
The weight of you and me does not fall, and this also contains the principles of heaven and earth."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but start to think deeply. After careful consideration, it was indeed true. Why does this chair need four legs? Can three legs work? What about two legs? This chair can bear the weight of one person, but can it bear the weight of two people or three?
Where are people?
After thinking about it carefully, some people suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"Wenshu College has always had a path to study things. The path to learning in this world is not just the way of literary saints. It is absolutely possible." Mr. Jiang thought for a while and said.
When everyone heard what Mr. Jiang said, they all agreed, so Ling Xin'an discussed the details with the masters again until the copy was finalized.
The next day, Jiangzhou Prefecture issued an announcement. The content of the announcement was to set up schools and provide free education. In Jiangzhou Prefecture, all school-age children aged five to ten years old, regardless of gender, can be sent to the school to learn in a unified way and develop wisdom.
Study for the rise of the Zhou Dynasty. Others who want to enroll can study for free. All benefits are the same. At the same time, we are recruiting scholars and masters from all over the world to serve as teachers, teach and educate people, etc.
