Chapter 55: Education Department, Yang Xinjun takes office
As for the last thing, this talent university, as its name suggests, is to cultivate talents.
As he said this, Jiang Yang took out a map of Xiami County. It was not standardized but everyone could still understand it.
"Three universities and two enlightenment colleges are built in the new rural area, and one enlightenment college is built near the old county government." Jiang Yang said, looking at Ma Feng and said: "Work hard these days to choose a good place. As for the universities and
I’ve also drawn the school’s drawings for you.”
"Understood. After I choose the place, I will immediately arrange for people to work overtime and strive to complete it as soon as possible."
Jiang Yang nodded and then looked at Yang Xinjun and said, "I plan to appoint Yang Xinjun as the director of the Department of Education, responsible for these six schools."
"What?"
"She's in charge?"
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Even Li You, who never liked expressing his wishes, frowned.
What era is this? This is an era where women have no status.
It is not an empty statement that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue.
One more thing, women in this era did not have their feet bound. Women in our country had their feet bound. The so-called "three-inch golden lotus" originated in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming Dynasty.
However, women in this era are not as free and unreasonable as in movies and TV shows.
They stay in the boudoir for many years, and no one else can even know their appearance, otherwise they will be accused of being tutors.
"Everyone is a lady," is not a simple word.
It would not only be inappropriate to ask Yang Xinjun to serve as the director of the Department of Education, but it would be really inappropriate.
How can a woman show up in public and still be an official?
"Why is it inappropriate? When Emperor Wu was here, I didn't see the Confucian gentleman say anything." Jiang Yang rolled his eyes, it was just his damn habit.
Emperor Wu was a man who convinced others with his virtues. Anyone who said that his women should not be emperor had the Prince of Hell tell them away, so no one said anything anymore, which shows that Emperor Wu was very virtuous.
Whether an era's thoughts are open-minded or not depends entirely on the status of contemporary women.
Jiang Yang had two ideas in placing Yang Xinjun in this position.
First, Yang Xinjun has read a lot of county government documents recently. Su Ri'an knows a lot about Xiami County without leaving home.
In addition, she copied the teaching materials, so people who have read them once must be familiar with them, so it is naturally convenient to teach.
The second thing is to slowly change people's views. In other words, who says women are inferior to men?
Roll up your sleeves and work harder, otherwise what are you doing when men go out to work and women stay at home?
That's all labor force. It's a time when there is a shortage of people. Instead of asking you to move rocks and bricks, you might as well go and weave for me.
However, this kind of ideological emancipation will come slowly. If you rush it, something will happen easily. When the time comes, you will shoot yourself in the foot, and Jiang Yang will feel uncomfortable.
Even though he said this, Jiang Yang still had sufficient authority within the county government.
Seeing their objections, he made a decision directly: "That's it. I think Yang Xinyun will do a good job. You should also watch and learn from it. As long as you work hard, I will naturally put him where he should be."
Then he looked at Yang Xinyun and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. You and Chen Zhiyong will discuss how many people should be employed to protect your own safety."
"In addition, during this time, you should not only read the teaching materials I prepared for you, but also understand them clearly. If you don't understand anything, ask me in time."
"And you can't teach alone. Recently, I have been looking for suitable teachers, and have more contacts and exchanges. After making sure they can come, I can exchange new teaching materials with them."
"There is also the issue of the source of students. In the past few days, you have been to Zhuangzhuang, a few villages in Xiami County. Many children are now working at home. You have to persuade boys and girls to let them study."
In this era, children are working at home, so how can they go out to study?
Can you afford the textbook? Or can you afford the paper? Or is the pen, ink, paper and inkstone not a burden to you?
Since the imperial examination, who doesn’t want their children to study and take the imperial examination? But they can’t afford to read this book.
Besides, we are busy with all the work in the fields now. If we have time to study, we might as well help with the work at home.
What Jiang Yang values is not the children in this city, but the children of all the people in Xiami County. They are the foundation.
You have to know that there are tens of thousands of children in Xiami County. Not to mention that as long as 10,000 people come to study, then based on the success rate of one in a hundred, there will be a thousand talents.
A university can only assign 300 people within a few years. With their own training, can't they start to promote the industrial revolution in a small way?
Jiang Yang became happy when he thought about it, and said to Yang Xinyun: "If you go to Mi County again and see more, you must bring all the children back."
"Okay." After Yang Xinjun nodded, he suddenly lost his expression and said with some embarrassment: "Sir, this... the children can't read it, not to mention those books are all newly compiled by you, no
There is a place where you can buy in large quantities.”
"Uh..." Jiang Yang patted his head and continued: "Don't worry about the expenses. Since it is the Department of Education, we must pay for the bulk, the college, the university building, and the tables, chairs and benches inside.
.”
"In addition, you can go down and find a way to pay for these books, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, so that they can neither get it nor get it easily."
Jiang Yang knows very well that the things that are easiest to obtain are the hardest to cherish, and when children are young, they are very curious.
Let them read and learn the books carefully through methods or hard work, and it is normal for them to scribble and not read the books easily.
"Okay." Yang Xinjun nodded, indicating that he understood.
After the affairs of the Education Department were settled, Jiang Yang brought Tang Yingcai over again, pointed to the bottles on the table and said: "This is chicken essence, this is soy sauce, and this is vinegar. Each of them has a big jar in the kitchen. You
When you get back, ask the chef to make it according to the recipe I wrote last time."
"This is a hot pot, and this is an oil bowl. The oil bowl can now prepare salty, fresh, and salty and sour ones. You can make your own. You already know how to eat hot pot, so I won't go into details."
"This barbecue is like this. When it gets dark, you can put the stove out on the street and let me grill it hard."
Jiang Yang made arrangements one by one, telling Tang Yingcai to do a good job in the restaurant's business and make it bigger!
With these things in mind, it is difficult to do them. The most important thing is the management system.
"What do you mean, sir?" Tang Yingcai stared at Jiang Yang with burning eyes, seeming to remember a legend.
At that time, no one had anything to eat. The county magistrate said that the gods told him that there was food in the Chenghuang Temple.
What could be found in that broken place? In the end, they dug out endless amounts of bran. Could it be that these were also passed down by the gods?
