As early as two months ago when Hu Hai asked Zheng Guo and Zhang Cang who were in charge, most of the schools in the counties of Daqin were about to be completed. As for the county schools in the larger counties, construction had also begun.
Nearly two thousand young teachers selected from the Royal Academy rushed to various county schools. They had left Xianyang two and a half months ago and rushed to various counties.
Today is the fourth day of the first lunar month. After the Lantern Festival, schools in counties and counties will officially start enrolling students. Hu Hai has to pay more attention to this issue.
Five years later, the first real imperial examination in the Qin Dynasty will be held. I think there will be many people waiting to enter the county schools after they start. In case the schools are still not completed by then, although
It won't have much impact on the imperial examination in five years, but since the time has been set, we always want a good sign, right?
After all, a good start is half the success.
All the nine-chapter textbooks printed in the improved fonts have been shipped to various counties in Daqin in the first half of the month. While people all over the world are celebrating the New Year's Eve, the people from Heibingtai are still busy in Xianyangtong.
On all the roads in the world.
This is the first nine-chapter textbook that Great Qin has officially compiled and revised, and it is of great significance to Great Qin and even the entire land of China. Hu Hai chose to have Hei Bingtai personally escort it to ensure nothing goes wrong.
This foolproofness is not to worry about someone robbing these textbooks on the road, but to ensure that these textbooks can reach the county schools before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
"My beloved sirs, how is the current progress of each county school?"
In front of Hu Hai was a piece of paper that marked the number and location of schools built in various counties in Da Qin.
County schools, except for the newly established four counties of Pingyi, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, and Liaoning, basically all other counties have one. This is the forty-six schools. In addition, in order to ensure that the children of the people in each county can enter
Study in the academy.
In addition to the four newly established counties, Da Qin also had forty-six counties, which governed a total of 313 large and small counties. After excluding the forty-six county cities, there were still 267 large and small counties.
.
The original statistical plan of Zhisu Neishi Prefecture and Shangji Prefecture was to build as many as 156 county schools in these 267 large and small counties. After all, there are only two or three in Nanhai, Liaodong, and Western Liaoning.
There are many counties in Daqin that have jurisdiction over counties.
In such a county, one county school is obviously enough to support the children in the homes of people living in a county or as many as two or three counties.
Of course, the relationship between the county school and the county school is not a superior-subordinate relationship. It is somewhat similar to the relationship between elementary school and junior high school in later generations. After attending elementary school, you can go directly to junior high school. Those counties with only one county school just put the elementary school and junior high school together.
Just come.
The results of the first census of the Ministry of Household Affairs have come out. Da Qin now has 30,655,669 people, regardless of gender, age or child. This number far exceeds Hu Hai's expectations.
outside.
However, Hu Hai immediately figured out the situation. It should be because he quickly put down the rebellion of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, and after the Donghu tribe surrendered, they were also registered in the Daqin household registration. Therefore, the actual population of Daqin was actually smaller than that of Daqin.
It grew slightly during the lifetime of the First Emperor.
There are more than 30 million people, which is much less than that of later generations of China. In terms of education, Da Qin is now under much less pressure. However, there are only two institutions of higher learning in Da Qin such as the Royal Academy and Qishan College.
Among them, Daqin Royal College has been expanded and can now accommodate 20,000 students studying at the same time. Due to Hu Hai's request, Qishan College has already considered this issue at the beginning of its construction, so it can accommodate a full 50,000 students.
.
The Royal Academy is still under constant expansion, and the same is true for the Royal Military Academy. Of course, these two academies, both of which are headed by Hu Hai himself, will definitely be the most high-end institutions in Daqin. The most important thing is excellence rather than quantity.
Although it can be expected that there will be a period of time in the Qin Dynasty where tens of thousands of people will compete to cross the single-plank bridge like the Huaxia College Entrance Examination in later generations. However, as long as four or five years are given, the number of higher education institutions directly under the Ministry of Revenue will inevitably increase. By that time, there should be many people
You can enter various colleges for further study.
Zheng Guo and Zhang Cang were originally thinking about what the emperor had summoned him for at this time. When they heard Hu Hai's question, they all trembled in their hearts. After looking at each other, Zheng Guo bowed and said: "Your Majesty, all county schools will be able to complete the task within seven days."
It’s finished, it’s just the county school…”
"Hmm? How is the county school?" Hu Hai raised his head and asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, every county school must use the best wood and the best masonry, and also provide the students with the best food, so the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and Shangfang are really beyond their capabilities!"
Zheng Guo made no excuses and sought truth from facts.
Indeed, Hu Hai asked the Ministry of Industry to strictly select the stone materials and choose the right location to facilitate the supply of food for the students in various schools, which really gave Zheng Guo, Tian Ren, and Zhang Cang a headache.
The emperor shut down the Epang Palace, why did he not care at all about the manpower and material resources required for this matter? Zheng Guo, Zhang Cang and others really couldn't figure it out.
Hu Hai heard the confusion in Zheng Guo's words.
"If the great Qin Dynasty wants to survive forever and make progress, the academy is indispensable. This is because the academy can teach the people of Qin knowledge, open up the people's wisdom, cultivate virtue, teach people to distinguish right from wrong, and teach everyone to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
.
That's why I don't care about spending money or food on the academy, because only in this way will the people of Qin believe in me, Da Qin. I established the Royal Academy and set up various branches. I don't want everyone to think about promotion and wealth, so I killed tens of thousands of prisoners.
Blood relatives, I also want to tell everyone that if you want to be an official, you can do it, but to be an official you must be a good official, and to be a corrupt official, you must be prepared to be punished by me.
I don’t want the people of our Qin Dynasty or any dynasty in the future to regard promotion and wealth as their lifelong pursuit. I will still build the Afang Palace, because it is not only the wish of my father, but also the precious wealth of our Qin Dynasty and the Huaxia clan.
, I want to preserve him forever.
Except for Epang Palace, I will not build any palaces unless necessary. All government offices in Da Qin are also prohibited from building large-scale construction projects. Schools can use the best, because young people are the future of Da Qin, and their beliefs are related to our Da Qin for generations to come.
; But the government office is not."
A nation without faith is pitiful. A nation without faith is also pitiful. The Chinese people in later generations have experienced thousands of years of suffering, and their lack of faith has led to spiritual hunger and thirst that has reached an unprecedented level.
Anywhere in China in later generations, most of the best, largest, and most magnificent buildings you can see will always be government buildings and banks, because they store the distorted beliefs and power of the Chinese clan in later generations. Money and feeble arrogance.
Let the change begin with Da Qin. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
