On the way there, Qi Yu introduced that education in Qiongzhou is mainly divided into two major systems.
The first type is traditional government education.
Its main function is to provide the country with imperial examination-type talents. This type of people read more about the Four Books, Five Classics and traditional classics, and their knowledge is roughly the same as that of mainland scribes.
The second type is the polytechnic in its new form.
Its main function is to cultivate various types of scientific and technological talents. What these people learn is completely divorced from traditional classics and aims to pursue the true study of things and knowledge.
As for the newly opened "Confucius Institute", Qi Yu did not give much introduction. He only said that it is to provide convenience for foreigners to learn and do trade.
If you tell the truth, you may not necessarily be recognized by the emperor, and you may even be mistaken for having a hidden agenda.
It is better to do less than to do more, so why bother?
Qi Yu said that of the above three types, only the Institute of Technology is the cornerstone for revitalizing science and technology. It is precisely thanks to the participation of these talents that Qiongzhou has achieved today's prosperity.
After hearing this, the emperor's curiosity suddenly surged, and he was eager to see what happened.
However, Qi Yu reminded him: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient, let's take our time to observe. Previously, you once said that the purpose of investigating Qiongzhou is to extract its essence and remove its dross, so as to make it a national treasure."
Used for construction. In this case, why not conduct a more in-depth investigation? In-depth means all-round."
"Your words are very reasonable, I agree!" The emperor thought for a moment and nodded solemnly.
Following this, Qi Yu immediately put forward his own suggestions.
According to his thoughts, the group of people going here still maintained a low-key style of behavior to avoid causing unnecessary panic.
In terms of research, you can first understand the various connotations in the education system. After observing and studying, you may form some prototype of the concept.
Yes! Yes!
The emperor thought for a moment and immediately expressed his approval.
If you want to understand this system, you need to be introduced by someone within the system, and Qi Yu specifically entrusted Long Shitong, who was the acting vice president at the time, to complete this step.
In fact, he could also make the introduction himself, but that would be more or less self-inflicted. In this case, it would be better to just leave it to others. "Vice President Long, this is Huang from the capital.
Sir, the main reason he came here is to learn about the education model in science and engineering. Could you please give some detailed introduction on this." Qi Yu explained concisely and expressed the purpose of his visit.
Seeing that Qi Yu attached so much importance, Long Shitong naturally did not dare to neglect and quickly gave a detailed explanation of the education system.
The emperor was listening and thinking deeply.
During Long Shitong's introduction, he paid special attention to two details.
The first is compulsory education under the universal system.
According to what he said, all the expenses in this area are borne by the provincial government, and ordinary people do not need to spend a copper plate. Moreover, whether they are the sons of bandits or pirates, or the descendants of prostitutes and noble officials, they can
Enroll in school and practice.
Tell me, how much does this cost?
The ministers of the imperial court often said that Qiongzhou's culture and education were useless and had been fruitless for many years. Looking at it now, it was simply nonsense.
With such a large amount of investment, even in the entire Dafeng country, there is no other province.
The second one is the examination and promotion system within the system.
According to Qiongzhou's education system, it is very likely that compulsory education and subsequent high school and university education will be popularized in the future, and this will improve the continuity and expansion of the education system, and then allow more senior students to
Talent stands out.
What has been done and what has not been done, Long Shitong lists everything clearly and clearly.
In addition, he also emphasized that the benefits of universal education are obvious. It not only avoids the existence of illiterate people, but also taps a large number of potential talents. Fundamentally, it prevents the occurrence of rough jade being dusted.
If you have talent, you have to make use of it.
Nothing wrong.
Previously, the emperor always felt that he had completely realized the comprehensive audition of talents, but compared with Qiongzhou, there was a huge difference.
No wonder this small Qiongzhou is showing a scene of talented people. It turns out that it is the result of benefiting from education.
After Long Shitong withdrew, Qi Yu suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, do you intend to implement compulsory education in China like Qiongzhou?"
"Of course I want to!" After a pause, the emperor shook his head and said: "But if we carry out such a large-scale education popularization, how can our treasury be able to support it?" At this time, the emperor already understood that if he wanted to develop military industry, he had to
Talents must be cultivated first; and to cultivate talents, we must popularize high-quality education; and to popularize education, we must have sufficient financial support. And the source of finance must benefit from economic expansion.
This link is intertwined, and every step needs to be done down-to-earth.
In the final analysis, we still need to consider developing agriculture and commerce first. Only when this level is prosperous can other levels take off.
It’s not that difficult!
Thinking of this, the emperor Weiran sighed, feeling that his political career had been spent on dogs.
Dog: I am not a female...
Seeing that the emperor was so entangled, Qi Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please don't belittle yourself. How can a humble minister not cross the river by feeling for the stones? In my opinion, Qiongzhou's experience is just a touchstone. There is still a long way to go before Dacheng.
It’s a long journey to go.”
Dacheng?
What kind of scene is that?
I dare not think about it!
The emperor first glared at Wu Wanrong, who was about to interrupt, and then said seriously to Qi Yu: "What are your motives for doing this? You must know that the official examination of the Ministry of Personnel does not include these!
"
It means, why do you do these thankless things?
Although Qi Yu secretly intends to retreat, his stance on issues of principle is still very clear.
He raised his hands to the sky and said solemnly: "I have done all this for this country, or for this nation. I believe that if we want to build China into a splendid Eastern country, we must have someone."
This is the first step to take this technology. To this end, Weichen is willing to be a small foundation brick, allowing future generations to step on my shoulders and move forward until it is finally realized."
The emperor looked at him and asked curiously: "Ai Qing really thinks so?"
Qi Yu said: "Young Sage once said that if you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world. As a scholar holding a sage's book in his hand, how can he not follow the sage's teachings?"
After listening, the emperor sighed secretly: If everyone in the world could be like Qi Aiqing, it would be difficult for the country to revitalize.
After calming down, Qi Yu immediately made a gesture of invitation and said, "Your Majesty, let's go to this polytechnic to see what the students actually study."
