Chapter 1721 For the Tribe
"Education model?"
Zhao Nanxing looked gloomy and was lost in his thoughts.
“Through learning at different levels, we can continuously improve our knowledge and become a talent that is truly useful to the country!”
Guan Ning said: "The essence is to expand the scope of education, popularize education, and form a specific system!"
Zhao Nanxing suddenly realized.
"This is what you told me in Jiangzhou to break the education monopoly."
"yes."
Just as truth is in the hands of a few people, in this era, knowledge is only in the hands of a few people.
A wealthy and powerful family.
They have sufficient resources and have established a mature training system.
Like some aristocratic families, they have established private schools, academies and other places, and most of them are still descendants.
This was the case with the Imperial College where Guan Ning went, and he was most familiar with it as he came from Zhenbei Palace.
Zhao Nanxing was shocked in his heart, he knew that this was to solve the root cause.
After coming back to his senses, he said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy to realize this."
He said this euphemistically, but it was actually very difficult.
Why is it difficult for poor families to produce talents?
It's not because my family is poor.
I can't go to school without money.
Even if the education model is re-established, this fundamental problem still cannot be changed.
Zhao Nanxing said: "If this is the case, the current education system will be overthrown, and it will be necessary to re-establish the primary schools, middle schools, universities and other schools you mentioned. This will cost a lot, and it is not something that poor people can afford.
Maybe in the end it will still be those powerful families who will benefit.”
"So this requires funding from the imperial court to complete!"
Guan Ning said: "Six years of compulsory education will be implemented, three years of primary school and three years of junior high school. These six years of study and study are free and will be borne by the state."
"After the country's economy develops, nine years of compulsory education will be implemented."
"this……"
Hear this.
Zhao Nanxing was shocked again.
The state builds schools, and then the state pays for the expenses and supports the students.
"If this is the case, the country's financial pressure will be great."
Zhao Nanxing is the chief official of a state, so he naturally knows the current situation of the country.
In fact, it is still very poor.
The two-year war with Liang Guo slowed down the development process and made the country even poorer.
"No matter how poor we are, we cannot afford education; no matter how miserable we are, we cannot suffer for our children."
Guan Ning said in a deep voice: "I want to truly educate everyone without distinction. Enrollment and education will no longer be measured by family background, but everyone will have the opportunity."
"How much you can learn and how far you can go depends on your ability."
Hear this.
Zhao Nanxing knelt on the ground.
"His Majesty's ambition to reach the sky is truly admired by me. Please accept my respect."
He did this from the heart.
"I am doing this for the country."
In the short term, the investment is huge, which is barely adequate given the current situation in the country, but in the long run, it is of great significance.
After all, talent is fundamental.
Only with more talents can the country develop rapidly.
Guan Ning said: "I am telling you this much to prepare you. You will also serve as the head of the Academic Affairs Department and be in charge of academic affairs."
"This involves a major national reform, and your burden is very heavy."
He found that Zhao Nanxing could keep up with his ideas and was a like-minded person.
"yes."
Zhao Nanxing responded solemnly.
It is his honor to participate in and take charge of such a major change, and he will witness history.
No, history should be changed.
"The first thing to do is to compile teaching materials. I will give you a direction first, and you can think about it first."
"Compile teaching materials?"
Zhao Nanxing was stunned again. He asked in surprise: "Are you ready to change even what you have learned and abandon Confucianism completely?"
He knew that His Majesty had a bad impression of this aspect and always talked about rotten scholars.
"I don't abandon it, and I have never felt that there is anything wrong with Confucianism."
Guan Ning said: "Poetic etiquette is still the foundation, but its importance has been reduced. It's not that I have abandoned it, but that the theories in this area cannot meet my needs."
He wants the productivity to further develop, and what he needs is professional cultural knowledge, not just anything else.
The most important thing is that it restricts people's thinking and creativity.
Guan Ning said: "We should learn more useful knowledge, such as human geography, natural history, clear calculation, clear law and other professional knowledge that is useful for social development."
"Develop people's creativity instead of wasting time on useless doctrines."
Guan Ning tried to speak as concisely and concisely as possible so that Zhao Nanxing could understand him.
After all, this kind of change is bigger than changing traditional education.
Because this changes the original learning content.
That is a tradition left over from hundreds of years.
This also greatly touched Zhao Nanxing, who himself was born in Confucianism.
Guan Ning emphasized again: "It's not that we abandon the original doctrine, but we just use it as a basic item. For example, the Mingzi item that is assessed in the imperial examination requires candidates to recite all the red texts. Do you think it is useful?"
"In fact, they are useless. Instead, these rules and regulations constrain people and greatly limit the output of talents. If you think about it carefully, is this true?"
Zhao Nanxing was still in his thoughts.
After a long time, he finally said: "Putting aside the pros and cons for the moment, how to make people accept it is a problem."
"This traditional legacy is not easy to change."
"What is reading for?"
Guan Ning asked a question.
Zhao Nanxing replied directly: "If you are good at learning, you will become an official."
It dawned on him.
"Are you planning to use this content in the scientific examination?"
"right."
Instead of forcing people to change their original thinking, it is better to let them change on their own initiative.
If new learning is taken as the content of gaining fame, they will learn and change independently.
Because it's useful to them.
"Your Majesty seems to have already prepared."
Zhao Nanxing said: "I have another question. Learning new content also requires teachers to teach you. But according to you, many old scholars cannot teach such a big change."
This is a matter of sequence.
"Guoxue began to teach new studies in the early years of Yuanwu. In the past three years, a group of talents who can teach have been cultivated. Although there are not many, they can also put on airs."
Guoxue was changed from the original Imperial College.
Guan Ning made great efforts to change his original bad habits and sought out intellectually active students to teach new learning.
His goal is to build Chinese studies into the number one institution of higher learning and become the vane of academic style.
Looking at Zhao Nanxing's slightly heavy expression, Guan Ning knew that he was deeply touched today.
"This change will definitely not be completed overnight. It will take a long time to perfect, but it must be done."
“It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people.”
Chapter completed!
