"The next topic... standardizing education in the newly occupied areas..." Tang Mo looked at the report in his hand, which stated the reality of the rough expansion of education in Qin and Shu.
Each place has its own focus, and those who develop education also have their own understanding of education. At the end of the day, the various small schools and evening classes become all kinds of strange.
Some places focus on the education of workers, and some places emphasize the cultivation of children. Everyone is like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his or her own magical powers, but on the whole it is growing barbarically, not standardized, and difficult to manage.
Tang Mo recalled what was written in the report and asked again: "I don't like the term 'new occupied area' very much. I will downplay the concept of occupied area in the future."
This is the third time he has emphasized this matter. Once such geographical barriers become stubborn, it will take ten or a hundred years to dilute its impact. Tang Mo does not have that much time, so he repeatedly emphasizes that no geographical boundaries are allowed.
the concept of.
"In addition, we must do a good job in education. Whether it is national identity or knowledge and skills, we must learn them well in order to serve the society." Tang Mo knew that the education department has been strengthening Qin, Chu, Shu and Da
education in China, trying to formalize the education in these areas as soon as possible.
But this will take some time. After all, the Tang Empire's own educational talents are also insufficient, the level of teachers is uneven, and many problems are still in the process of being solved.
Learning is the process of understanding the world. People have been learning from the moment they were born. If you don't study well, your cognition will be biased, and you may even be unable to survive in society.
In ancient times, the cost of education was high, so the relatively stupid policy of obscuring the people was born. The cost of this policy was relatively low, allowing knowledge to be only in the hands of a relatively small number of people, thereby simplifying management
costs and improve management efficiency.
However, there are also disadvantages to doing so, that is, the policy of obscuring the people will eventually lead to a slowdown in social development, stagnation in the development of technology and other fields, and a passive state in the environment of large-scale competition between countries.
However, education cannot be achieved overnight at a certain point in time, but requires a long development process with no end in sight. Even in an era when universities have become popular and graduate students have become worthless, everyone’s thinking and cognitive level
It's also uneven.
And such a half-informed state is the most dangerous. As the saying goes, you understand but don’t fully understand, you think you understand but you don’t really understand... This kind of education state makes the people easily incited, and at the same time, because these people have mastered a certain amount of knowledge,
Higher ability, greater power after being incited.
How to manage and guide such a force is what Tang Mo is very concerned about. He knows how powerful this force is, and naturally also knows that if not managed, such a force can destroy everything.
"Appropriately relax some of the recruitment standards for talents in the northwest, southwest, southeast, and central regions, and give people in these places enough support. But we need to increase supervision and ensure that they are lenient in entry and strict in exit, so that they can be convinced." Tang
Mo knew that as long as he gave a casual explanation, an official like Chu Muzhou would definitely make arrangements. So he just said that and gave Chu Muzhou a general outline.
It is unrealistic to expect these newly occupied areas to immediately produce talents trained in the core areas of the Tang Empire. However, if only the talents trained in the core areas of the Tang Empire are used as officials, it will cause dissatisfaction in other regions. This contradiction must be
To solve it, it must be solved well.
People in all regions must have opportunities for promotion and development, so that the empire can be stable and those regions that are lagging behind can gradually develop and become prosperous.
"I understand." Sure enough, Chu Muzhou understood it. Of course he knew that the selection of officials was actually very "regional". It was a science to allocate quotas to all regions as fairly as possible - at least, it was necessary to
Let everyone agree with the distribution method and let everyone think that the distribution method is fair...
"I believe that it is a relatively safe and temporary solution to select officials from those areas as much as possible and coordinate with the deployment of past officials to govern." It took almost only a few seconds for Chu Mu Prefecture to have a relatively stable solution.
A relatively complete plan.
According to what he meant, that was to first leave the petty officials to the locals to give them hope, and also to eliminate some waste that could not be reused.
After a few years, those capable petty officials have stood out and can be entrusted with important responsibilities, and new people who have received modern education and mastered modern bureaucratic skills have been trained, and the problem can be solved.
"The so-called officials are, of course, practical officials. The old local officials are not familiar with the procedures and must learn with an open mind. Their work has nothing to do with the content that fooled their superiors in the past, and we are not afraid of them relying on their old skills." Deeply understand.
In this regard, Chu Muzhou showed the sophistication of an imperial prime minister.
He has quite a lot of experience in controlling the bureaucracy: "With the young officials who have been deployed there keeping an eye on them, the old bureaucrats don't dare to make mistakes. In this way, local management will be stabilized over time."
Tang Mo was a little uneasy and sighed and said: "I'm afraid that the newly appointed officials are too young and will be manipulated by these old bureaucrats. When the time comes, they will not be strong-willed and will be infected by the rotten atmosphere, which will ruin their lives.
It also damages the foundation of the empire."
Chu Muzhou was silent for two seconds, and then said consolingly: "Your Majesty, our country now has a population of hundreds of millions. Our Tang Dynasty has a different political system from other countries. It has a fine division of labor and numerous bureaucracies. There are tens of millions of new and old bureaucrats... among them, there are mediocre ones.
, Corrupt and disloyal people will surely survive, and they will be killed without end."
He paused and looked into Tang Mo's eyes: "If your majesty is worried about this, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep at night, the food will be tasteless, the suffering will be too much, and it will harm the country... I am incompetent, I hope your majesty will treat me with peace of mind."
Tang Mo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. He also felt that his control was a little too lenient. It was obviously beyond his control as an emperor to prevent the people below from being corrupted and corrupted.
The imperial guards of the two factories in the Ming Dynasty had many eyes and ears, and they did not say that they banned corrupt officials. How could he, Tang Mo, be able to make so many officials abide by the law?
"What the deputy prime minister said makes sense, but I am a little impatient. However, because the officers who were sent there are all young officials with clean and simple resumes, we still need to give these young people some protection." Tang Mo thought for a while and said to
Chu Muzhou ordered: "It is not easy to train, so we must think of some ways to prevent these inexperienced officials from taking the wrong path."
"I obey." Chu Muzhou bowed his head and accepted the order.
