Chapter 248: Life Without Leaving Home
The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and it knew that it was shouting weakly.
Li Kuan lay under a ginkgo tree, staring boredly at a flying dragonfly in a daze.
It's been more than a month since I returned to Chang'an.
During this time, except for the routine of going to Li Yuanlingtang every day to fulfill his filial piety, the rest of the time was in the palace courtyard.
Although Chang'an City has been restored to a lively metropolis, the eastern and western cities are still full of people, but these have nothing to do with Li Kuan.
"Lord Wang, the land north of the Wei River has been under construction according to your instructions, and it will be ready to start using in a few months."
Wang Xuance came back from outside sweating profusely, and immediately came to Li Kuan's side to report the situation.
Last year, at Li Yuan's request, Li Shimin rewarded Li Kuan with a piece of land of tens of thousands of acres and barren mountains.
How to use this land, Li Kuan also thought about it for a long time.
And since the cheat father's system rewarded a set of nine-year compulsory education textbooks, Li Kuan thought about it and felt that it could not be wasted, so he simply asked Wang Xuance to arrange the construction of a academy.
It's just that I didn't expect to encounter Li Yuan's death, so I didn't pay attention to the construction of the academy.
Now it seems that it is better to get the teaching materials out first.
Since it's a academy, it can't just teach those things that Mengxue does.
However, what is suitable for taking out and what needs to be put in another way is actually quite particular about this.
Fortunately, Li Kuan is very idle now, and he can ponder slowly.
arithmetic, physics and chemistry, which should be the three most meaningful subjects; In medicine, it is easy to have Sun Simiao's master and apprentice; As for agronomy, there is a bonus of primary agricultural skills, and it can also be done.
"Xuan Ce, what do you think of that Xu Jingzong?"
Wang Xuance is now the number one strategist under Li Kuan, and there are a bunch of things every day, and he is specially responsible for the daily affairs of the new academy, which is too busy.
And that Xu Jingzong has been in charge of the construction of Daming Palace, and there are many matters that need to be coordinated in the middle, but he hardly let Li Kuan worry about anything, and his personal ability can be seen.
Although in history, Xu Jingzong was included in the list of ministers, but Li Kuan didn't think so.
To put it mildly, if you don't have a little level, you won't be able to make this list.
Between meritocracy and virtue, Li Kuan is inclined to the former.
As for personal morality, more needs a system to restrain him and a system to supervise him.
"Lord Wang, the Yan clan is a practical talent, although his reputation was not obvious before, but his ability is not small at all."
Wang Xuance is not the kind of person who is afraid that others will steal his position, he knows very well that there are more and more things in the Chu Palace, and it is impossible for him to interfere in everything.
Rather than waiting for Li Kuan to take the initiative, it is better to be self-conscious.
"The second phase of the Daming Palace has also been completed, starting tomorrow, you let Xu Jingzong also take over the construction of the academy."
"Okay, the Yan clan is indeed very suitable."
……
The printing workshop in the Chu Palace's palace has been a bit busy lately.
Other printing workshops only print a few new books a year, and the rest are basically reprints of books from the past.
However, the printing workshop of the Chu Wangfu received more than a dozen books in just one month, and with the change of time, this task is still getting bigger.
According to Li Kuan's vision, Mengxue's education remained the same, mainly teaching literacy; The primary school education is equivalent to the primary school and junior high school in later generations, and a total of six years of study, after which they go to Guanshishan College, which is the college under construction in the north of Weishui, for four years, a total of ten years.
As for what is taught at Guanshishan Academy, this may change from year to year.
On the whole, Li Kuan hopes to put some of the content of high schools and universities in later generations to be taught there, and of course, the Four Books and the Five Classics and the like are also to be studied.
In this way, under normal circumstances, I entered elementary school at the age of six and graduated from the academy at the age of sixteen.
Judging from the situation in this era, it is basically more appropriate.
Of course, some people want to study in the academy all the time, and Li Kuan has no objection.
After several years of training, each workshop in the Chu Wangfu has its own Mengxue and primary school teachings, and some outstanding talents are selected from them, and they personally give them the knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry, which can barely be used for the new academy.
Anyway, the matter of education is not in a hurry, and Li Kuan can afford to wait.
"Second brother, your newly written arithmetic book is much easier to understand than what you said in the previous class."
Li Zhi held a book and sat next to Li Kuan with relish and watched.
Ever since he came into contact with arithmetic, this little Zhengtai has been out of control, and it is said that he has read all the arithmetic books collected in the palace.
How old is that?
"In the past, I thought of what to say, but now I have systematically sorted out the content of arithmetic, from easy to difficult, step by step, and the logic is stronger than before, which is naturally much easier to understand."
Li Kuan explained so on his lips, but in his heart he was thinking: nonsense! How many teachers are the result of this? I changed the books they compiled and put them in Datang, which is naturally not comparable to ordinary books.
"Yesterday, I saw that the second brother you taught the accounting arithmetic knowledge of various workshops in the school, as well as the new bookkeeping tables and abacus, I was thinking, why can't all the accounting rooms in the world learn this set of methods?"
Li Zhi looked at Li Kuan innocently, after all, he was still a child, and he couldn't understand why good things couldn't be promoted.
"People have habitual thinking, they are accustomed to what they have been exposed to in the past, and when they encounter new content, they will naturally have a rejection mentality. However, people are all interested in advantages and avoid disadvantages, as long as they slowly realize that the workshops of the Chu Wangfu use Arabic numerals and new bookkeeping methods, use abacus to calculate, and the efficiency is much higher than theirs, they will naturally take the initiative to learn. ”
"I see, it's called a twisted melon that is not sweet."
Li Kuan: ......
"You run to me every once in a while, and the masters have no opinion?"
Li Kuan didn't want to discuss with him why he didn't take the initiative to promote Arabic numerals and other issues, in his opinion, in less than two years, other shopkeepers and proprietors would learn if they saw that this set of things was good, and they would learn it without promoting.
"Hey, don't mention it, second brother. Those masters let me learn the Analects all day long, and it didn't mean anything at all. Anyway, I'm still young, so I often find excuses not to go, and my father knows that I'm here to find you, so it's often not good. ”
Li Zhi sighed like a little adult, feeling that life in the palace was far less interesting than that in the Chu Palace.
"If you like to go to my elementary school, then just mention it to Your Majesty, otherwise in this case, the master who taught you will have to complain to Your Majesty sooner or later."
Li Kuan is looking forward to the future Tang Gaozong being able to accept his own set of education methods, which is more meaningful than teaching more students.
