After a debate, everyone in Fengtian came to a unified view. Zhang Zuolin was born in a poor family and had never read for a few days, which he had always regretted. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin strongly agreed that he could allow a poor child like himself to read and write.
As for Wang Yongjiang and Yang Yuting, both of them are loyal to Lao Zhang, and at the same time they are willing to see the entire Fengtian system prosper. They all support anything that is beneficial to Fengtian.
"Commander, the Ministry of Education has approved the establishment of Fengtian Higher Normal School. This will be the highest institution of higher education in Fengtian in the future. It will mainly train senior teachers and advanced talents in science and engineering. In addition, several junior colleges and senior technical schools will be established as auxiliary services, and then the main
All efforts are focused on basic education, with middle schools universally accessible in counties and primary schools basically universal in towns and villages."
Wang Yongjiang introduced his plan, and Zhang Tinglan added on the side: "Mr. Kuang Rongguang has been preparing to build a mining college and a military medical college to mainly cultivate Western medicine talents and enrich them into our army. Every battle
There are many seriously injured people who can survive. It’s just that our medical technology is too backward, so the soldiers died in vain. This shortcoming needs to be made up. Then we will set up some business schools. We are also serious about talents in this area.
We are in short supply, so we need to hire some teachers with high salaries and even bring in some foreign talents.”
"I'd like to ask you, have you ever thought about it? To run a school on such a large scale, at least more than four million dollars will be invested this year, and it will increase significantly every year in the future. Fengtian's finances may be a bit difficult. Do you want to introduce some private capital to run the school?
, there are many people like Zhang Boling who are enthusiastic about running schools, and we make use of them all."
Zhang Tinglan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Minyuan, I have no objection to the introduction of private capital, but these private capitals must accept government supervision and guidance. And they are not allowed to run comprehensive universities, and can only run some colleges as supplements.
, cannot occupy the mainstream. It has always been who cultivates people, and we cannot let other people’s crops grow in our own fields!”
In addition to ensuring that talents are put to good use, Zhang Tinglan also has a deeper consideration. Once top-level educational resources fall into the hands of private capital, a circle of interests will often form around the school, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.
Most of the prestigious schools in Western society, such as Harvard and Oxford, are private. They exclude most ordinary people through so-called elite education, and then use the school as a link to form the so-called upper class society. These schools
Due to their network of contacts, it is very easy for graduates to find jobs and get promoted, and they have more chances of success. This has resulted in the solidification of social classes. Opportunities for ordinary people have been greatly reduced, which is very unfair to the people at the bottom.
To avoid this kind of polarization, universities must be in the hands of the government and open to everyone fairly. This is why Zhang Tinglan opposes completely handing over the power of selecting students to the school. Those professors may be bribed by the power of capital.
They can also let everyone take the exam, which seems to be a fair score. But they can tamper with the test questions, and they can also work hard on the evaluation method, excluding ordinary people with fair and just reasons, because you are not good enough!
But in fact, these test questions are tailor-made for the rich and powerful. Since the poor and the rich have different levels of contact, it is inevitable that their knowledge will be different. Faced with these carefully designed questions, it is very normal for the results to be different. It cannot be done at all.
It shows the gap in intelligence level, but the school ignores these and completely turns the top universities into a club for the rich and powerful.
Zhang Tinglan was very unwilling to see the upper class monopolizing education and monopolizing the best resources, leaving ordinary people with no chance to make a comeback. Therefore, from the very beginning when designing the system, he insisted on the position of government-led education.
Several people discussed for a while and finalized the main issues. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Commander, I'm afraid we will be scolded again next time!" Yang Yuting said with a smile.
After Fengtian's education plan is announced, it will definitely cause an uproar, and the debate with Zhang Boling will be made public. Most of the literati will accuse Fengtian and even use various connections to obstruct it.
"If you have too many lice, don't bite them. If you have too many debts, don't worry about them. Last time, many literati jumped out and scolded me, but I didn't lose much, and I still didn't live well."
"That's right!" Lao Zhang also said with a smile: "Damn it, if Tinglan hadn't been sober-minded, we would have lost all our money by listening to the deceit of these scholars, and that would be the real trick.
Now. The harsher they scold us, the more correct we are!"
"But I think the high-end talents mentioned by Zhang Boling should also be cultivated and not ignored." Wang Yongjiang added: "It's not enough to just have workers, there must be leaders!"
Zhang Tinglan also nodded. He is opposed to elite education, but it does not mean that elites are not needed. On the contrary, Zhang Tinglan needs more elite talents. An ideal talent echelon should be pyramid-shaped, with a large number of grassroots personnel as support, and then top talents will lead the team.
, to achieve results.
In a backward country, if we only focus on top talents, but without the cooperation of the grassroots, it will eventually become a castle in the air without any practical value. It is like the Republic of China has so many masters who are still bullied, and future generations may not have the same
He is a master, but no one dares to go wild on Chinese soil.
"I think it would be better to dismantle Fengtian Higher Normal School and turn it into Fengtian Normal University and Fengtian University of Science and Technology as our high-end talent base."
Lao Zhang and the others also nodded in agreement with Zhang Tinglan's suggestion, and when the discussion was almost over. Zhang Tinglan walked out of the Tiger Hall, and Zhang Xueliang pulled him to the side of the courtyard, where Yu Fengzhi had already been waiting.
"I'd like to say, no matter how much we think about this matter, we still can't understand why Mr. Zhang was so impassioned before and now he seems to be a different person after talking about it. Could it be that everything he said before was a lie? He is a
Are you a hypocrite?"
Zhang Tinglan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Han Qing, I believe that Mr. Zhang Boling is a completely good person and a gentleman. He also sincerely wants to develop education and change this country. But their positions are different and their classes are different. They see the problem
His method is different from mine. His method may be able to cultivate some great talents, but it cannot change China at all."
"Let me tell you something first. When I went to Liaoyang to help the victims, I found that many landowners were not evil. On the contrary, they had a reputation as good people. They usually gave gruel and clothes to the poor. But after the flood, they
They all collect rent, hoard, and drive the people to death. Do you know why?"
Zhang Xueliang shook his head blankly, and Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "The reason is very simple, because other landlords are also doing this. If he doesn't do this, he will make less money. If he doesn't collect rent, he will have no money to support thugs. Once
If something goes wrong, he will become a tenant farmer again. In order to ensure that he will always be in the landlord class, he has to do that!"
This was Yu Fengzhi's first contact with Zhang Tinglan, but she was very smart and quickly understood the truth: "Mr. Zhang Boling is a scholar, and judging from his class, giving children from poor families more opportunities to study will increase
Under the pressure of their younger generations, they may lose the opportunity to study in college in the future. When the government takes back the power to admit students, they lose the opportunity to influence them, so it must oppose it."
"Yes, this has nothing to do with his character, it's just that his class determines his views." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the butt determines the head!"
When Yu Fengzhi heard what Zhang Tinglan said was interesting, he laughed out loud and said: "Which side is Zhu Yan's butt sitting on?"
"Naturally, it is the Fengjun side. To prosper the Fengjun army and drive Japanese power out of China completely, this is my goal. If we want to strengthen the Fengjun army, we must develop industry and agriculture, and let more people receive education.
, to make society more equitable and more dynamic for development, so the focus of the Marshal and I and others is the entire Fengtian, all the people, not just scholars."
Zhang Xueliang and Yu Fengzhi thought about it carefully, and they both suddenly realized that an idol was shattered, but they both understood a lot of truth. Zhang Xueliang smiled and said: "Sorry, you have destroyed one of our idols.
, we must compensate for our losses!”
"Isn't it enough for me to compensate you for a wedding? It's not good to have too much appetite!"
As soon as Zhang Tinglan said this, Yu Fengzhi couldn't help but blush. Although she was born in a businessman's family and the differences between men and women were not big, she would still feel shy when someone brought up marriage in front of her, so she turned around and left shyly.
Just after the education strategy was finalized, Japanese Consul General Shida came over again. This time his arrogance was far less arrogant than last time, but his face was still gloomy, and he was obviously in a very uncomfortable mood.
"Zhang Sang, I have reported the situation to the Kwantung Army and can provide you with some arms, but Japan must send military advisers to guide you in their use."
"No need, Mr. Honjo is very skilled. Let him be our instructor and don't bother anyone else!"
Zhang Tinglan was listening to Lao Zhang's words and almost didn't laugh. This Marshal Zhang is really good at pretending to be stupid. How can Japan dare to leave Benzhuang Shimo and others in Fengtian? The sooner they can be replaced, the better.
Shitian's face became even uglier. This bandit leader was really difficult to deal with, so he had to give up his unreasonable thoughts: "Zhang Sang, we can temporarily not send consultants this time, but our subsequent transactions must follow the rules."
"Don't worry, Mr. Shida. I, Lao Zhang, am also a person who makes friends. As long as the price offered by the Japanese is fair, I will not only buy arms, but also other machines. The space for our cooperation is very broad!"
The two sides quickly reached an agreement. It is worth mentioning that this batch of arms was the one that Da Dao wanted to hand over to Fang Wendong. As a result, Feng Jun fell into his hands without spending a penny. (To be completed.) Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
