He turned around and was about to kneel down, when he suddenly remembered that Liangshan had abolished the kneeling ceremony! Moreover, Liangshan was a military country at this time, military salutes were popular, and ordinary government officials all performed military salutes! At that moment, Qin Hui hurriedly gave a military salute to Wu Dong!
The scholars from the Academy of Sciences nearby also saluted one after another, and they were very excited. They did not expect that Wu Dong came to Korea in person.
Wu Dong returned them a military salute and said with a smile: "Let me see your university construction plan too!"
Qin Hui handed the university preparation plan he compiled into the hands of Wu Dong. Wu Dong looked at it at a glance, some places just skimming over it, and other places he looked at carefully.
"The test questions this time involve science, and many students have never been exposed to it before! So this time the test is not just about whether they can answer questions, but also about whether they have their own ideas. For many questions, whether they can put forward their own opinions
Ideas." Wu Dong said.
"Yes, that's the truth!" Qin Hui thought for a moment, nodded, and hurriedly wrote this down.
"In addition to new studies, arithmetic, agriculture, etc., there are also some more practical subjects in universities! For example, the manufacturing of farm tools, the manufacturing of sailboats, etc. You can even invite craftsmen to serve as university teachers." Wu Dong
road.
This is actually the difference between "basic subjects" and "applied subjects." Wu Dong just looked at it for a while and found that Qin Hui's "university preparation plan" mainly set up some basic subjects, while there were very few related applied subjects.
It seemed that Qin Hui and those scholars did not think highly of applied disciplines, so he pointed it out immediately.
"Is it inappropriate to let craftsmen serve as university teachers?" said a scholar.
"What's wrong with this? Ten years ago, when the Academy of Sciences was first established, all the people in it were excellent craftsmen! Why do you look down on them now?" Wu Dong said.
"Grand Governor, the students in the university will serve as officials in the future. They only need to know basic arithmetic, agriculture, etc. Why bother to study these details?" Qin Hui also said in surprise.
"Only a small part of the students in universities serve as officials! Most students will join various industries in society after graduation and become elites in various industries! Officials may not be more glorious than other professions," Wu Dong said.
The scholars at the Academy of Sciences were still hesitating, but Qin Hui had already memorized everything. He understood more and more that in Liangshan, the purpose of reading had fundamentally changed! In the past dynasties, reading was only for doing things.
Official, this will never be the case again! Nowadays, reading seems to have become more and more "ordinary", and it is not as noble as before! Including ordinary farmers, if they are willing, they can participate in literacy classes organized by the government.
study.
"Qin Hui, the university system and the examination system are very important. Do it well! If you do well, you will be able to bring about earth-shaking changes in Korea in the future. In the future, we can even let you enter the center and lead the ministers!" Wu Dong said with a smile.
.
"Ah!" Qin Hui stayed there for a while.
"Liangshan's system is still in the process of improvement. Now ministers in all ministries have equal status, but sooner or later the position of prime minister will appear in the future! Li Gang, Hua Rong and others are all prime ministers, and so are you!" Wu Dong said.
Regarding the political system, Liangshan has been making improvements! Of course, the basis of this improvement is the "Military Aircraft Department", and the purpose of the improvement is also to make the Military Aircraft Department more perfect and closer to the cabinet of future generations! The so-called "Prime Minister" is just
According to Wu Dong's idea, the traditional title will be replaced by the prime minister in the future, followed by the cabinet ministers, who will jointly assist the king, step by step making Liangshan's system closer to the modern political system.
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will go all out to do everything well!" Qin Hui said excitedly.
"Very good, let's go take a walk around the university campus now and see how the construction is going!" Wu Dong said.
Now Wu Dong, Li Gang, Qin Hui and others are actually visiting the campus of "Korea University" in front of them! This university covers an area of large, more than 5,000 acres! However, in this era, the population density is much smaller than that of later generations.
More, almost less than one-tenth of that of later generations. This 5,000 acres of land was considered a huge area in later generations, but it was nothing in this era.
Most of the campus is covered with woods, and there is also a small river running through the middle of the school! Relatively speaking, the number of buildings is much smaller.
They entered a hall, Qin Hui said: "This hall can seat more than a hundred people, and it will be used by many students to attend classes together in the future! In addition to these, there are also some small classrooms!"
Li Gang nodded and said: "How many students will be recruited for the first batch of the university?"
Qin Hui said: "There are about 2,000 people! It's a pity that most of the young people in Goryeo have gone to the grasslands. Those people were originally the best young generation in Goryeo! If they were here, the quality of the students would be much improved this time."
Wu Dong smiled and said: "In the future, young people from the grasslands can also be allowed to take the exam. If they pass the exam, they can come back to study! By the way, I asked you to improve the school system in Goryeo. It is not just universities. The rest of the elementary schools,
How is your secondary school system going?"
Qin Huidao: "The primary school system has been basically perfected. Now all children in Goryeo must attend primary school! The middle school system was just established not long ago, and now every county in Goryeo has its own middle school! Primary schools mainly focus on learning literacy and basic arithmetic.
These are very practical things! In middle school, new learning, arithmetic, and science are involved. Relatively speaking, it is more profound! Because middle school
The number of studies is not enough, so I am afraid that only one tenth of the children can enter middle school from primary school. Only the particularly outstanding children can enter middle school! As for entering university from middle school, it is even more difficult! The current school system is primary school, middle school,
Each university lasts three years. A child enters school at the age of five until he graduates from university, when he is fourteen years old! If he enters school later, he will be older when he graduates!"
Wu Dong thought for a while and said: "Whether it is primary school, middle school or university, in addition to learning knowledge, students must often participate in some military training, and they must also take some courses to enhance their physical fitness."
Li Gang, who was standing next to him, frowned and said, "Grand Governor, join the military training, strengthen your body, etc. These are the policies of the military state! Do you really want to continue to implement the military state?"
Wu Dong shook his head and said: "These have nothing to do with the military state. Military training and strengthening the body are all things that we Han people must do! I hope to cultivate children's discipline from an early age, train their bodies, and fundamentally change them.
Our nation! A child who just studies will not achieve great achievements in the future! Li Gang, I remember that among your six Confucian arts are etiquette, music, archery, imperialism, and mathematics. Confucian saints also want future generations to develop in an all-round way, not just
It’s just dead reading!”
Li Gang frowned. He always felt that Wu Dong's interpretation of Confucian classics was somewhat different from traditional Confucianism! Although Confucianism does have "six arts", in fact, reading people "has no power to tie a chicken". This is the right way, and this is the right way.
He is a serious Confucian scholar! A person who reads swordsmanship and exercises every day is something that can only happen in Liangshan.
"The Grand Governor, establishing a university is also a huge burden for Goryeo! In order to build the university, we spent more than 100,000 taels of silver! From now on, we will have to invest a certain amount of silver every year!" Qin Hui said.
"In the future, the university's contribution will be greater than its contribution!" Wu Dong said.
To cultivate talents for the country, it is necessary to pay a little money! In the future, he will also expand the scale of universities and establish universities in other places in the future. Not only will the state establish universities, he will also allow private universities to be established.
"Grand Governor, I serve as the governor of the university concurrently. Is this true?" Qin Hui asked again.
"Of course it's true! This university was built by you, and your knowledge is extremely broad. If you don't serve as the president, who will?" Wu Dong said.
"How dare you do this..." Qin Hui became excited again.
The ancients believed in "respecting teachers and respecting morality." He became the president of the university. In a sense, all the graduating students were his students. How could he not be excited?
"You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. You must not disappoint my expectations!" Wu Dong said.
"Don't worry, Governor, I will never do it!" Qin Hui said hurriedly.
"Come to the room with me. By the way, call all the scholars here. I have something else to tell you!" Wu Dong said.
Wu Dong and others came to a room, and Wu Dong began to talk. This time he also talked about something related to the university, including some modern scientific theories! In later generations, these scientific theories have long been known to people, but in
This era seems unusually novel, even a little "rebellious"! Like Bacon proposed
Wu Dong said the sentence "Truth is the daughter of time, not the daughter of authority" in a different way. Li Gang felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Li Gang thought that Wu Dong was still denying the sage Kong! Wu Dong said it again
Explain how to propose hypotheses, prove hypotheses, draw conclusions, etc. Everyone benefited a lot after listening to it!
It wasn't until late at night that Wu Dong stopped.
