Fighting is in full swing in the north, and the "summer offensive" is over. With the help of the rapidity of the "blitzkrieg" and the heat of summer, before the Jurchen armies of Yanshan Mansion and Xijing reacted, they conquered the city and restored the three towns.

In such a hot weather, there is a high probability that the Jurchen army will not go south, unless, the Jurchen warriors on horseback are no longer afraid of the heat.

While the war in the north continued, the improvement of civil affairs was also carried out simultaneously, and the first of all things was the compulsory education launched by the Xuanfu Division.

Ten years of trees, 100 years of people. Talent is the foundation of a nation's development, and where talent comes from, it comes from education.

Work hard to prosper the country, empty talk misleads the country, this sentence is no more appropriate to describe what the Xuanfu Division is doing at present.

The purpose of education is to cultivate useful talents who can master practical learning and apply it to the world, rather than useless people who only talk about poetry and lyrics and talk about it.

Not yet empty, in order to seek practical knowledge. The military needs career officers and servicemen; The development of industry and commerce, especially industry, requires craftsmen and skilled personnel with a "dictatorship in the arts"; The knowledge that runs through it is practical learning, such as arithmetic, geography, agriculture, accounting, criminal law, law and other professional knowledge.

This is the original intention of Lianghe to build a new school and establish compulsory education, and Lianghe needs professional talents.

However, the news of the abolition of the imperial examination, the replacement of the Xuanfu Department with a new style of school, and the establishment of education spread far and wide, which soon caused an uproar among the people.

"New-style school, compulsory education."

When Wang Song said this, several people in the hall were shocked and in an uproar.

"Guys, do you say that there are many children in the Daimyo Mansion who don't study?"

Li Ruoxu was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "How difficult the people's livelihood is. The Jin people ravaged Lianghe, Henan, Lianghuai, and Shaanxi, and even everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River were rotten, and there were countless refugees. The people can't eat enough, so how can they care about studying!"

Wang Song nodded deeply and said in a deep voice: "What Gong Li said is very true, and this official understands the hardships involved."

He looked at the ignorant and stunned crowd, and said in a deep voice: "I wanted to let these children go to school, I have some ideas in my heart, and I hope that Brother Li will give me more advice!"

Li Ruoxu bowed solemnly and said: "The prime minister only cares about the famous words, and listens to them in the next place."

"Compulsory education, the whole land of two rivers, 6-13 years old, Xianggong is not a fool's dream"

As soon as Wang Song's words were finished, Li Ruoxu's eyes suddenly widened, and Huang Zong and Guo Yong next to him were also dumbfounded.

Li Ruoxu shook his head regretfully. It seems that Wang Song is completely abandoning Shang Ying's five techniques of controlling the people.

"Li Gong, an idiot talking about dreams, is it my Wang Song's doing. If we want to "enrich the country and strengthen the army," we must establish education and develop the military. The Department of Education and Education should be changed to the Department of Education, whose responsibility is to educate and educate people and open up the wisdom of the people. What do you think?"

Wang Song naturally knows the truth of "strengthening the country through education". Only by vigorously promoting national education and increasing investment in education will we not only become a world power in a few generations, but may also rule the future of the world.

"Xianggong, in the land of two rivers, the people are four or five million, and the number of school-age children should be eight or nine million. There are 1,000 people in each school, and there are about 100 schools. The number of schools to be built alone is astronomical. ”

Guo Yong took a breath of cold air and smacked his tongue, he was also shocked by Wang Song's plan.

"Let's just say that the student's desk and chair, a set of desks and chairs for two people, is four or five hundred thousand sets. Books, teachers, and the amount of money needed, do you know how much money you get? ”

Huang Zong was stunned for a moment, and he also joined in.

"Even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you must also continue to run compulsory education."

Wang Song said in a deep voice: "The house can choose the old mansion of the government and the house under its name, and the same is true for tables, chairs and benches. The fee is only for books, and the gentleman's salary. It's expensive, but it's not a bone-breaker. ”

The lack of qualified personnel has caused no qualitative change in the quality of the army. It is precisely because of the lack of talent that the development of firearms has progressed slowly, and it still stays on those straight barrels back and forth.

And this lack of talent needs to be realized through education. With the current culture and technology of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as we increase investment in education and science and technology, the results will be very expected.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the importance of education is not something that can be seen in the short term. Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, maybe you and I will not see China's progress in my lifetime, but one day in the future, China will be able to shock the world and become famous all over the world. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Li Ruoxu smiled bitterly. Once Wang Song decides, no one can change it, and he has no reason to object.

He wants to see what China looks like after the opening of people's wisdom?

"How many things are never in a hurry. The world is turning, and time is pressing. 10,000 years is too long. ”

Wang Song talked eloquently in his mouth, and everyone was demented. Wang Song's thinking jumped too fast, and everyone couldn't keep up with his speed for a while.

"If you don't do this, you and I are sinners of the whole nation, and even if others forgive you and me, we can't forgive ourselves!"

As later Frederick William III said:

"The country must use its spiritual strength to compensate for its material losses. It is precisely because of poverty that education is necessary. I have never heard of a country that has become poor or ruined because of education. Not only does education not impoverish the country, on the contrary, it is the best means of getting rid of poverty! ”

If it is said that the Chinese nation and the extinction of the species are run by running education, it can only be a good scripture, and people will read it wrong.

China not only has compulsory education, but also has a martial style. Compulsory education is to open up the wisdom of the people, and the wind of the morning is to give birth to the national spirit, and the two complement each other and are not contradictory.

The establishment of a satisfactory national education system and the compulsory education of children have put China on the right path of development - educational revolution, political revolution and industrial revolution, and also allowed China, a country with "compulsory education first", to grow into a superpower in the 12th century.

This is Wang Song's wish and his goal.

At the opening ceremony of the "China School", high-ranking officials and celebrities on the campus were present, and the campus was guarded by the public of the street department.

Parents who personally sent their children to the school also witnessed this grand occasion.

More than 1,000 school-age children, all wearing a black kaftan school uniform issued by the "China School" and embroidered with the four words "China School" on the chest, holding a folded black short school uniform and a green schoolbag also embroidered with the four characters of "China School", stood in front of the high platform of the teaching field, waiting for the start of the opening ceremony.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Xianggong Wang is here."

Everyone turned their heads together, only to see that in the crowded crowd, Wang Song was full of smiles, waving to the crowd and greeting him, and walked up to the stage.

Cheers and shouts rang out continuously, and everyone's faces showed excitement, and many people cheered just to see the appearance of this big man.

"Students, people, today is the opening ceremony of the "China Academy". On behalf of all the teachers and students of the school, I would like to welcome you to all of you. ”

After years of military and civilian speeches, Wang Song has become accustomed to this kind of occasion, and he also seems to be at ease.

Li Ruoxu looked at the school uniforms on the students, thinking of those brand-new and piled up textbooks, and felt a faint pain in his heart.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars were easily spent.

"China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; There is the beauty of clothing, which is called Hua, which is Huaxia. Yidi has a king, but it is not as good as the summer. Our Chinese culture is thousands of years old, broad and profound, and has a long history, which is something we should be proud of. ”

Hearing Wang Song talk about the pride of the nation, the people below who read the books, including those officials, all showed a trace of pride.

"Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has been plagued by the northern nomads. Since the Xuanhe period, the government has been corrupt, there are righteous armies in all directions, bandits are rampant, there are fanzi burning and looting outside, all evil is done, the people are displaced, and the corpses are everywhere, and my Great Song Dynasty has reached the moment of critical survival. ”

Wang Song's face was solemn and continued: "The six words on the stone tablet at the entrance of the school, sacrifice, responsibility, and nationality, are the requirements for the students. You are all the future of the nation, and you must shoulder the responsibility on your shoulders for the strength of the nation. It is your mission to restore the glory of the nation. When studying, we must always remember that it is for our own nation and for the strength of our nation!"

When Wang Song left the high platform, enthusiastic cheers and cheers came one after another, and many people were excited from the bottom of their hearts.

Only a few staff members around Wang Song looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Under the fame, there is actually a scripture that is difficult to read.

"Don't be sad, several. One by one, they are like losing gold and silver treasures at home, and their faces are too ugly!"

Seeing Li Ruoxu's strong faces and laughter, Wang Song couldn't help but quip.

"Xianggong, what you said is easy, just these textbooks, as well as the "library" you built, are miscellaneous, and they are hundreds of thousands of dollars at once. If this continues, Xuanfu Si will only be able to drink porridge. ”

Li Ruoxu's words made Wang Song laugh. He patted Li Ruoxu's shoulder and said loudly.

"Before drinking porridge, I will invite you to eat and drink a good meal, and first top ten days and half a month!"

Guo Yong also laughed, he shook his head and said, "Xianggong Wang, I'm afraid you don't have silver taels in your pocket." Or I'm having a treat today, everyone can eat and drink as much as you want, as long as you don't let me go bankrupt!"

He already has a solid family, and he is the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, so he has much more money on hand.

"Xianggong, Xia Guan used to buy books, I don't know how much, this "library" you run, the books are cheap, and it saves Xia Guan a lot of silver, so I just use it today!"

Guo Yong likes to collect books. The various books newly printed by the Xuanfu Division's Education and Culture Department are clearly handwritten and well-bound, which makes up for the shortcomings of many of his books.

"Looks like I don't have to break the bank today!"

Wang Song laughed, and at the same time sighed. After spending countless money, manpower and material resources, this new school was finally launched.

After the school was divided into classes, the teachers handed out stacks of textbooks to the children.

Fu Zixiu trembled his hands and opened the first page of the first volume of "Chinese Studies", which was the frontispiece of the volume, "Young China Theory" made by the famous Wang Xianggong.

Unlike all previous ancient books, the text in this set is read and written from left to right, horizontally, and with punctuation, exactly like in the library outside. Instead of the original right-to-left, vertically written.

"China, China also, living in the world does not know how many are ordinary. Zhizhi of Tang Yu; The majesty of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty; The literature of the Han and Tang dynasties is so majestic! However, since Jingkang, scholars have said that there is no more China in the world, woo hoo, my China is nothing? My heart said: Evil! What a word! What a word! There is a young China in my mind.

If you want to talk about the old and young of the country, please speak about the old and young of the people. The elderly often think about the past, and the young people often think about the future. Thinking about the past, so I am nostalgic; Thinking about the future, there is hope for the future......

Therefore, the responsibility today is not for others, but for my youth. The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, and the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country; When the youth is strong, the country is strong......

The red sun is rising, and its path is bright. The river flows out of the subterranean and flows into the ocean. Through the ages, there are eight wildernesses. The future is like the sea, and the future is long. Beautiful I am a young China, and I am not old with the sky! I am a Chinese teenager, and there is no boundary with the country! ”

Unconsciously, Fu Zixiu was completely attracted to it.
