Chapter 256 Ruan Dacheng Recommends Two Nature Textbook Editors!
After arriving in the capital, Wang Dachun and Liu Carpenter thought about inviting Luo Shihong to have a meal together. After these few days of contact, they no longer felt any resistance. They felt that although Luo Shihong had a bit of a stick and wanted to climb up, he was not so good.
He is not a bad person, and he does not have particularly bad intentions. From now on, everyone will be regarded as a businessman, and there will be no harm in having more contact with them.
"Brothers, today is really an unlucky day. I'm going to raise money quickly to settle the matter at the factory. I guess you two need to settle the matter at the factory as soon as possible, right? We have a lot of contacts to make in the future.
I’m not in a hurry for this moment, what do you guys think?”
After Luo Shihong said this, the two of them suddenly lost the idea of having a meal. Yes, the opening of the factory is the top priority. The several partners have not finally communicated well, and the money has not been implemented. It is true.
There's a lot to do.
After a hurried farewell, Wang Dachun and the two hurried home. They had to gather everyone in the evening. It was best to decide the matter tonight.
In the evening, a group of craftsmen gathered at Wang Dachun's house to formally discuss the establishment of a company and the opening of a factory. Amid everyone's anticipation and anxiety, an arsenal was being born, and their new life was about to begin.
Starting a new life is a change that has happened to many people in Beijing these days. Huang Chao, the son of a rich man from Xianghe County, is one of them. Not long ago, he officially started his college life.
With twenty additional points, Huang Chao still failed to get into the College of Engineering and the College of Science. In the end, he had no choice but to take the entrance exam for the Normal University, and barely passed the exam.
The two Taiyuan colleges have to recruit 3,000 people. Huang Chao still has 20 extra points, but this guy just didn't pass the exam. It's obvious that his level is inferior. There are only 10,000 students taking part in the autumn admissions exam.
There are not enough people. Taixue Normal University has to admit more than 6,000 people. It can be said that as long as the brain is normal, you can basically get a diploma, because there are still many people who don't want to go to normal universities.
Fearing that the normal university would not recruit enough people, Zhu Youjian specifically asked the Ministry of Rites to issue a policy. All reference students are only qualified for two terms, and the bonus points are only valid for one year. If it were not for this policy, people like Lian Huang Chao would
, may not go to a normal university, official status can really kill people.
The address of the Normal University is the original residence of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of the State, and the residences of other convicted persons. Basically, it was used directly without any major reconstruction. It can be regarded as a model of reuse of idle facilities.
Although the place is quite large, it was quite crowded when more than 3,000 people poured in at once, especially when it came to accommodations. In the end, we had to use bunk beds to accommodate six or seven people in one room to solve the housing problem.
Huang Chao lives in a dormitory, sharing a room with a group of people similar to him.
"Brother Huang, we will be divided into subjects in the next few days. Which subject do you want to apply for?" After class in the evening, a roommate ran up to Huang Chao with a rice bowl in his arms and inquired about his movements.
"It's not easy to choose. There are five subjects in total. Logically speaking, Chinese liberal arts subjects have the most applicants, so they might be diverted out. Arithmetic subjects, geometry subjects, natural subjects and history subjects sound like miscellaneous subjects.
If teachers can be used for other purposes, they may not be able to become officials." Huang Chao and others detest the division of subjects in normal universities. In their view, this means forcibly dividing them into three, six or nine grades in school. So far,
They didn't even see the textbooks for these subjects.
"That's not necessarily true, right? I heard that in the College of Engineering and the College of Science, there are fewer people recruiting for Chinese liberal arts courses!"
"How valuable is a young talent? Otherwise, those people would be interested in studying the Chinese liberal arts. Didn't you find that among the subjects offered by us and Taixue, the Chinese liberal arts is the most important? It is said that a lot of quotas for official positions have been added. , in the end there are still so many valuable things. Among the two majors, the number of places for the Chinese liberal arts department is only about 600, which is not much different from the previous Jinshi major."
People are always full of resistance and rejection towards unfamiliar things. Among the subjects offered in universities, Chinese liberal arts is the one that everyone is familiar with. Therefore, these guys take it for granted that other subjects are not as good as Chinese liberal arts.
Teaching by subject is a characteristic of university education. The most difficult thing in this whole thing is not to do the work of the students, but to find qualified teachers. To be honest, it was very difficult for Zhu Youjian to find a group of suitable teachers.
In the end, he could only make do with temporary measures. The so-called temporary method was to let other departments of the imperial court and even important ministers of the imperial court work part-time as university professors to solve the problem. For example, Song Yingxing was a professor of several subjects in the College of Engineering. Several ministers in the ministry also took on many subjects, so the elites of the Ming Dynasty were all hanging around in the officialdom.
The subjects offered by the normal university are basic subjects. It is not difficult to find teachers for the history subject. You can barely find some teachers for arithmetic and geometry. What is more troublesome is the natural subject. No one knows what this subject is about. Even Zhu Youjian himself is not familiar with it. Its positioning is very vague.
It should be said that natural science is actually physics, but physics all over the world is still in the enlightenment stage, and the existing theories cannot support a separate subject. As a last resort, Zhu Youjian had to combine the knowledge of later elementary schools Natural science is proposed separately as a subject. It is envisaged that natural science will focus on some common physical phenomena and physical knowledge, and add some botany, simple chemistry, and biological knowledge to teach. To put it bluntly, it is a hodgepodge. .
The idea of the subject structure is available, but how to design the curriculum has become a problem. Although the emperor himself knows a little bit about simple basic physics knowledge, his knowledge cannot be used as teaching materials to teach students in this era. The content that can be taught must be in line with the basic understanding of the current era. Theories that are too advanced are just weird theories.
What should I do? After asking around, it seems that there are two people in Beijing who can simply engage in this field of work. One is Fang Yizhi, and the other is Tang Ruowang, a foreigner in Qintian Prison.
The recommender of these two people was Ruan Dacheng! When Zhu Youjian vaguely stated his talent needs, Ruan Dacheng thought of these two people based on his feelings. Fang Yizhi is an old acquaintance of Ruan Dacheng, and the two are still close to each other. It’s also very good, and from time to time there will be scolding wars in Xinmin Times. Tang Ruowang has been Lao Ruan’s friend for the past two years, because from time to time, Lao Tang writes private articles that promote Christian ideas and wants to publish them in Xinmin Times. Lao Ruan was also tolerant enough, and actually published two articles. Most of the manuscripts were rejected, and only two articles were published. Tang Ruowang did not have any prejudice against Ruan Dacheng, but instead became more proactive and enthusiastic in establishing friendship with him.
"Mr. Ruan, if you don't become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you will be underestimating your talents. The two people recommended are really talented people." After hearing Ruan Dacheng's recommendation, Zhu Youjian remembered these two people. In later generations, he seemed to have heard of Fang.
Yi Zhi's name seems to be the one who coined the word physics. Tang Ruowang, a Westerner, is also a celebrity. It seems very appropriate to use these two people as editors of natural subject textbooks.
