Chapter 35 Education Begins with Children
It is conceivable that if it continues to develop, the government of Great Qin will most likely be controlled by the gate valve, and at that time, even the imperial power will be suppressed.
When the First Emperor was still there, naturally there was no need to worry about this situation, but Qin II, III and even hundreds of years later, even Zhao Heng was gone, who could suppress those gate valves that had developed into behemoths?
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Heng not only wants to change the law and popularize the law, but also to carry out political reform.
In particular, in the selection of officials, it is necessary to grasp both universal education and the imperial examination.
Of course, the imperial examination system that Zhao Heng wants to formulate is not like the eight shares of the examination in later generations, as for the specific examination, he will consider it comprehensively in the future.
Moreover, in his opinion, in addition to passing the cultural level, officials must also have a certain practical ability, and it is not enough to talk about troops on paper.
Therefore, in the future, he will also let those officials selected through the imperial examination go to various counties and even villages in batches for training.
If the political performance is outstanding, it will naturally be promoted and transferred, but if the political performance is average and even makes the people complain, then I am sorry, I will be dismissed at the lightest, and the crime will be held accountable.
It's just that whether it is military reform or political reform, Zhao Heng does not plan to carry it out in the next one or two years, at least until the firearms are formed.
And at that time, no one can stop him from carrying out drastic reforms.
"Your Majesty, the division of the various ministries of the government and the government needs to be carefully considered."
Zhao Heng's eyes looked at Ying Zheng and said, "After the minister has perfected the details, he will tell His Majesty." ”
"Then I will wait for the good news from my husband."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said.
Next, Zhao Heng took Ying Zheng and Wang Jian to visit the medical building of the medical school.
There is not much to say about the medical school, the main thing is to train doctors and nurses in various departments.
In addition to learning the knowledge of various medical books, they also need to treat patients who come to the medical school for treatment, and even practice surgical skills on the body of the general teacher.
As for the nurses, most of them are young women who mainly learn medical skills.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Heng also divided a medical device research group in the scientific research institute to develop various new medical devices, such as scalpels, blood pressure monitors, stethoscopes, syringes, thermometers, microscopes, etc.
Coupled with the various special medicines he took out from the warehouse he carried with him, I believe that it will not be long before Daqin's medical level will definitely be greatly improved, even if it is impossible to overcome some ancient terminal diseases.
"Lord, the first class of primary school has officially started!"
At this moment, he walked briskly to Zhao Heng's side and spoke.
"Your Majesty, Wu Chenghou, do you want to go and see the students' first class?"
Zhao Heng nodded slightly when he heard this, and then asked Ying Zheng and Wang Qian.
"Go!"
The two gentlemen nodded.
Immediately, under the guidance of Shuang, the three of them came to a classroom outside the ordinary campus.
The classrooms in the ordinary campus are basically the same as in later generations, with a blackboard in the front and back, a lectern in front of it, and rows of student seats under the podium.
At this time, in every seat, sat a child of five or six years old, both male and female, who was reciting the text under the guidance of a young teacher.
Under the influence of Zuo Xiang Li Si, Daqin respected Legalism and did not allow the growth of other schools, and even completely banned private learning, so there were no private schools or even various academies in later generations.
Daqin's education system is "to teach the law and take officials as teachers".
If ordinary people want to read and break words, they can only learn from officials, and they need to know the law to enter the office.
In addition, the Qianshou can't even eat enough, and they don't have extra energy to read and write.
As for the wealthy businessmen, their status is lower than that of the capital of Guizhou, and there is no way to study at all.
Although the Confucianism and Yin-Yang families in Daqin, except for the Legalists, are not particularly badly mixed, but no matter which school of scholars, they are not as weak and unable to take care of themselves as the scholars of later generations, not only all of them are wearing swords, but also have a rather violent temper, if you want to force them to teach the sons of Shang Jia to read, then you must be prepared to face their fury and blood splashed five steps.
And these dozens of children in the first class of primary school are either the sons of Qianshou or the sons of businessmen, and it is conceivable that almost no scholars are willing to help them enlighten.
Of course, Zhao Heng didn't plan to invite these scholars to be teachers at school.
Because he plans to start from the first class of this primary school, he will directly implement Mandarin and simplified characters, as for Yayan and Xiao Seal, they will be gradually replaced, until all of Daqin speak Mandarin and write simplified characters.
Therefore, he asked Konoe to escort several teachers from Baiyu City who had already mastered all the courses of elementary and junior high school to help these children enlighten first, and then continue to teach them various knowledge in elementary and junior high school.
Zhao Heng also believed that when his school achieved certain results, those noble lords would definitely send their children to study.
Even, students from various schools of thought, such as Taoism, Mo, agriculture, medicine, soldiers, novels, vertical and horizontal, yin and yang, etc., would also be willing to come to the school for further study and to promote the doctrines of their school.
In Zhao Heng's view, no matter which doctrine it is, there is merit.
For example, the students of the Mo family are basically masters of handicraft, with extremely rich knowledge of physics, and even good at making all kinds of weapons with great lethality.
There are also farming experience and techniques of farmers, as well as the skills of doctors to cure diseases and save people, and so on.
In short, there is no need for Daqin to respect the Legalists alone, each hundred schools have their own strengths, just take their essence and remove their dross.
After a few months of getting along, Zhao Heng knew very well that although Ying Zheng was known as a "tyrant" in history, his bearing was definitely not small, and he was even more tolerant of talented people than many so-called benevolent and virtuous kings.
At least, after Great Qin ruled the world, Yingzheng did not kill a single hero, and compared with Liu Bang's cunning rabbit and dead lackey, it was too strong.
Therefore, Zhao Heng believes that under his own promotion, in the near future, it is entirely possible for Daqin to reproduce the grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought.
"At the beginning of man, his nature is good."
"Sex is similar, Xi is far away."
"If you don't teach, sex is migration."
……
The sound of catchy reading kept coming into the ears of Zhao Heng, Ying Zheng, and Wang Qian.
"Sir, what are the children reading?"
Ying Zheng asked with a different look.
Although there are only three words in the book that the children read, it seems to contain the truth of the road.
Wang Jian was shocked at the moment, although he was a military general, he was also a scholar, so he could naturally understand what kind of truth was contained in the three words of each sentence.
"This is the three-character scripture!"
Zhao Heng smiled lightly.
If Daqin wants to strengthen the country, education is fundamental, and education must start from the baby.
The enlightenment artifact "Three Character Sutra" will naturally be used.
