"Zhongxian is too humble, how can you be regarded as an ignorant old woman?"

"Childe, I'm not too humble. What is the difference between me and those children in such learning? If I look at this kind of knowledge alone, I am an ignorant old woman. ”

Kang Buxian didn't feel that this analogy was an insult to himself, and after following Liu Yu for a long time, he knew that there were still so many unheard of knowledge in the world.

There are many things he has really never heard of, but that doesn't prevent him from understanding them. It's nothing more than a few new words, and in your mind you can make up the appearance of the origin of the world.

Kang is not slacking off and is close to Laozhuang, and he is very close to such a world origin and does not exclude it.

After talking and laughing, Liu Yu closed the door, retreated from the rest of the people, and talked to Kang Buxian about his plan.

Where there is a plan, there is always a purpose.

Liu Yu's purpose is very clear.

It will take 10 or even 20 years to artificially create a new literate community.

This group must be separated from the existing class of scholars.

The economic base of this group must also be separated from the existing landlord component of the scholar class.

The ideological outlook, values, and world outlook are completely separated.

They had to learn common sense, nature, mathematics, physics, and chemistry, so that what they learned could not be used in the imperial examinations, and they were completely separated from the existing class of scholars and doctors.

There should be an internal promotion system and internal digestion.

Including officers of the four branches of the military: artillery, fortress engineer, engineer, and navy; Accountant, internal scrivener, and bookkeeper in the Chamber of Commerce; Captain and bow of a trading company; Persons in charge of various workshops, etc.

Some of these people went to work in the navy, some went to work in workshops, and the rest went to sea to work as employees of trading companies.

In the future, the workshop will also have to hire these people in a limited way. The official positions that the emperor cannot directly grasp are also given priority to these people.

In addition to speaking the same language, the same skin color and hair, these people were more different from the old literate class than the scholars and Manchu chieftains at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Before, Kang Buxian thought that Liu Yu took advantage of the disaster year to recruit a group of orphans to support the dead.

At that time, Liu Yu said that he would not raise the dead, and Kang Buxian didn't know what Liu Yu was going to do.

Now that Liu Yu said his thoughts, Kang Buxian was immediately convinced.

Xindao's own pattern is really much worse, and he can only think of the step of raising the dead, but where did he think that Liu Yu was going to make such a big move?

The emperor opened an opening to set up a practical school, taking advantage of the high sky and the emperor was far away, and he was extremely secretive in the early stage and could not see the harm, which was a big thing to do.

Liu Yu doesn't hide his selfishness, there are many things that one person can't do at all, Kang Bu can be trusted, and Kang Bu will preside over this matter in the future.

After roughly talking about his thoughts, Liu Yu said a three-step plan.

The first step is to recruit some people who know a little about Western studies, mainly those who can't get into the Wude Palace, but have been in geometric arithmetic since elementary school.

Use real money as a temptation.

Liu Yu started a new stove and wrote some books that could be self-taught and understood.

These books are also the level of common sense, such as the earth is round, all things have gravity, everything is made up of atoms and molecules, living things are divided into animals and plants, wound infections are caused by germs, etc., and the phonetic pronunciation is used for pinyin and so on.

Liu Yu paid for these people to study on their own for a year, and then take the exam.

After passing the exam, they were hired as teachers at a high price of three and a half taels of silver a month.

This first batch of people doesn't know much, but it should be enough to enlighten children.

At the very least, when children learn to read, they can have an instilled understanding of the world, and as for whether they really understand it, it doesn't matter, as long as they have a general concept and impression.

In the second step, after the first batch of enlightened children have received these common sense knowledge, they will pass the examination and select those who excel in learning.

At this time, the orphans recruited by Liu Yu before taking advantage of the catastrophe also completed their studies in time.

The best of these orphans went on to further their education, while the rest worked directly as teachers, teaching the first children who had received a general education in general knowledge.

Teach more advanced basics such as arithmetic, geometry, physics, chemistry, etc.

The third step is to pass the examination from the second step and select talents to enter the official school of Jinghai Palace.

In addition to the contents required by the emperor such as artillery, navy, and engineering, the official school of Jinghai Palace should also add accounting, normal training, navigation, and so on.

The entire three-step process is almost entirely from scratch.

It takes about eight years to complete a cycle completely.

But once this cycle is over, it can continue to replicate itself in the future.

At that time, as long as there is money and as long as there are "righteous schools" everywhere, there will be thousands of people who have received a new type of education.

These people have almost no other way out, and under the premise that the imperial examination remains unchanged, these people are almost outcasts of society.

These outcasts are educated, but they are ostracized, and the only place where they can huddle together for warmth is where Liu Yu is.

In the future, Liu Yu may not be in Weihai or Liugong Island, but no matter where Liu Yu goes, these social outcasts can only follow Liu Yu.

Unless...... The emperor announced that the imperial examination would be reformed, and that graduates of practical studies would have the same status as Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi.

If the emperor dares to do this, there will be no problem; But if the emperor can't do it, then there is another story.

Kang Buxi was shocked by Liu Yu's thoughts, admired it so much, and couldn't help but think of those words.

Tang Taizong was fortunate to end the door, and when he saw the new jinshi coming out, he said happily: The heroes of the world have entered my place.

In the past, Confucius and Mencius were a subject that must be learned by heroes of the world. Learn and excel.

Now that we want to learn from practice, the heroes of the world do not necessarily have to learn Confucius and Mencius again.

But learning is learning, and tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of people who have learned knowledge, are literate and proficient in practical learning, but cannot become officials...... It's a terrifying force.

And in the beginning, this power was so weak that no one could detect the power contained in it.

By the time I found out, I couldn't stop it, and it was too late.

"Zhongxian also wants to write a simple history book, the kind that children can understand, and there is no need to write too much content, that is, to let children know where our ancestors came from and how they continue to this day."

"Starting from the destruction of the Shang Dynasty in the Zhou Dynasty, it was divided into feuds and colonized, and then it was unified by the First Emperor. and then to the Two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, until the beginning of the current dynasty. ”

"This must be difficult, right?"

Kang Buxian thought for a while, if it is just to let children have a rough understanding of history, it is indeed not difficult.

But it's not hard to say, and it's not quite. History always needs to be evaluated, what kind of values should be used to evaluate different characters?

is like Wang Anshi, from a status similar to Qin Hui, to now he finally has some positives, what should he say in this set of books?

It's like Han Gaozu slashing the White Snake Uprising, how should you evaluate it? Is it the alternating reincarnation of the five virtues? Or is it destiny? Or is it just a rebellion against the tyrannical Qin?

Kang Buxian knew that the set of books that Liu Yu asked him to write was definitely not so simple.

When such a book is on the market, it is estimated that no one will spend money to buy it. But if children are forced to learn, it's different.

Children are born like a blank slate, and they will accept what they instill. This is especially true in history books, the Celestial Empire, history is like a galaxy, how many shining figures, and how many scum, but what kind of evaluation system is used to evaluate these people?

"Childe, I can't talk about this matter. But since Childe said it, I tried to do it. Or, can Childe try to write one? I'm using this as a sample to know how to write next. ”

Liu Yu thought about it and felt that it seemed that it should indeed be so, so he said: "That's it, then I'll write a piece about King Wu's invasion and feudal colonization." You're a smart one, and you can see how to write the rest at a glance. ”

Kang Buxian smiled: "Yes, this is equivalent to Gongzi drawing a frame and writing it out one by one." No matter what you write in the future, you can't go beyond this apostrophe. If it's just for children to understand history, as long as there is a framework, it's not difficult. It's just that now that I think about it, I have to start from scratch and wait for reconstruction. ”

Starting from the beginning, Liu Yu does not approve of the eight words of waste waiting to be revived. The previous foundation has been laid quite a bit, and now it's time to reap the rewards.

"Your Majesty not only asked me to try to set up a practical school, but also let me spend time in the Whale Sea, which is naturally dominated by the immigration areas along the coast of Wendeng and the Whale Sea. I can't stretch my hand too long, and I don't have that much money, and the court doesn't estimate how much money to give, and I have to make up for it myself. ”

"That's what I thought. Through the previous catastrophe, I have a relatively thorough understanding of Wendeng's population and the number of acres of land. And the resettlement areas in Vladivostok and other places along the coast of the Whale Sea are very easy to control, so it is necessary to try them out from these two places first. ”

"It's all easy to try out, so how can you say it's starting from scratch?"

Before helping Bai Yunhang brush up his political achievements, he carried out a series of changes, and obtained the accurate population statistics of the Wendeng area.

Wendeng carried out a series of changes that were bound to perish, including the perpetual tenant system, the green seedling method, and the pilot project of apportioning the land into the mu.

The change of these people is still useful and has laid a good foundation.

After the forced rent reduction and the promotion of sweet potato planting, farmers in the Wendeng area can ensure that they will not starve to death, and they will have a little more surplus food in their hands.

In addition, the navy was stationed in Weihai, the supplies consumed, and the large amount of money were paid, which made the small traders develop and earn the money of these soldiers.

The population and acres of land in Wenden have also been completely ascertained, so that we can follow the example of the "General School Act" that Prussia was about to promulgate, all school-age children must be enrolled, and a part of the education money for each family should be levied, and the amount should not be too large.

Vladivostok and other places of migration, where the foundation is a little easier. But whoever goes there, there are almost no literate people, and for the time being, they are all tuntian system, and it is not difficult to promote it.

Liu Yu guarded the huge dividends of trade with Japan, and for the time being, he could only try to carry out a wave of compulsory compulsory education in such a place, covering hundreds of thousands of people.

This must not be promoted, because the imperial court cannot afford to pay for it, and it will definitely not spend money to learn these things that are not compatible with the words of the sage.

It's just that the emperor asked Liu Yu to try to do practical learning, and with this loophole, he can drill into it.

Part of the education funds were specially approved by the emperor, and some of them were collected from the local people, which was still very costly.

Although it is a lot of money, this money must be invested. Qingzhou Jun was raised by his stepmother, and Liu Yu was really distressed to spend some money, but he could invest in long-term education, and it was very comfortable to spend.
