Chapter 274 Educational Reform
Early in the morning, Wang Ke came to his office and parked the car, and walked to the entrance of the inner palace, but saw Li Tai and Li Ke standing together, Wang Ke was a little curious, he made an appointment with Li Tai yesterday, and went to see Comrade Li Er early this morning, but this is nothing to do with Li Ke, why is Li Ke also standing here waiting?
But Li Tai was beside him, and Wang Ke didn't want to ask in detail, so he could only say with a haha: "The Third Highness is also going to enter the palace to see the emperor, don't you know if the Third Highness has any urgent matters?" ”
In fact, Wang Ke's words were also said to Li Ke: If it's not urgent, don't go in, when Li Tai and I finish talking about things, it's not too late for you to go again, why come here now to join in the fun!
I don't know if Li Ke is really in a hurry, or if he didn't understand the meaning of Wang Ke's words, Li Ke said to Wang Ke bluntly: "I have something to say to my father, and when I walked here, I saw that the fourth brother was waiting for Brother Wang, so I waited together, just waiting for Brother Wang to enter the palace together as soon as he arrived." ”
When Wang Ke heard Li Ke's words, he didn't want to say anything, so he had to follow the two highnesses towards Comrade Li Er's imperial study.
When I entered the imperial study, I saw that Comrade Li Er was already sitting on his throne, reading a large stack of folds, Wang Ke followed Li Ke and Li Tai to step forward and salute Comrade Li Er.
Although Comrade Li Er was a little strange in his heart, how did Li Tai get together with Li Ke and Wang Ke, but if he thought about it carefully, he came to himself, and it happened that he came to this point together, and there was nothing strange about walking in together, thinking about it like this, Comrade Li Er was also relieved. []
For the arrival of Li Ke and Li Tai, Comrade Li Er's first thought was that Li Ke came for the affairs of the imperial court, and Li Tai came to himself because he was embarrassed by something, in contrast, it must be Li Ke's matter that is much more important, and this time Li Ke called Wang Ke again, then there must be some new situation, Comrade Li Er doesn't know, Li Ke will bring him good news or bad news today.
Under such circumstances, Comrade Li Er must have asked about the imperial court first, so he asked Li Ke: "Ke'er came to see me today, is there anything you want me to come forward for you?" ”
After Comrade Li Er asked, a pair of eyes stared at Li Ke firmly, waiting for Li Ke to say something, Comrade Li Er at this time was really a little afraid, afraid that what came out of Li Ke's mouth was the news he didn't want to hear.
Li Ke was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that as soon as he came in, Comrade Li Er asked himself directly, in his thoughts, this Li Tai was much more favored by Comrade Li Er than himself, if the two of them came in together, Comrade Li Er should also ask Li Tai about it first, but now he asked about his own affairs first, which couldn't help but make Li Ke a little surprised.
Li Ke hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Father, the sons are just some trivial matters. Let's ask the fourth brother to talk about him first. It is rare for the fourth brother to find help from his father, and he should be more anxious to come to the fourth brother. ”
Compared with Li Ke, Li Tai is indeed more favored by Comrade Li Er, if it weren't for Comrade Li Er's thinking that Li Ke came to him for the sake of the court, he really had to ask Li Tai what was the matter first.
Now, as soon as Comrade Li Er heard Li Ke say this, he also pushed the boat down the river and asked Li Tai, "Does Tai'er have anything to say to me?" If there's anything you need, just say it, and as long as it's beneficial, I'll promise you. ”
Seeing Comrade Li Er's words so refreshing, Li Tai's heart, which had been hanging since he came in, let go a little, and said to Comrade Li Er: "Father, the emperor, and the sons and ministers have been reading every day for a while, and they have a strong feeling that for some ancient and modern works, every time people who read books check them, they are very scattered and 'chaotic', and it is very inconvenient to find them. Erchen wondered if he could bring all of these together so that he could better consult them for those who were reading. Helplessly, Erchen was weak alone, and there was really no way to complete it, so he thought of asking his father for help. Yesterday, the retainers went to Lord Wang to ask Lord Wang whether this matter was feasible, and Lord Wang also agreed with it after hearing it. So today, the retainers invited Lord Wang to come together to explain this matter to his father, and also asked his father to become a 'jade'! ”
Hearing this, Comrade Li Er realized that Wang Ke came in to see him today, not with Li Ke, but at the invitation of Li Tai, he came to help Li Tai.
Comrade Li Er also had to look at Wang Ke a little differently at this time, because he knew Wang Ke's military talents in the past, and Wang Ke also had a very keen 'nature' in government affairs, and he also knew it. I didn't expect that my son, who was the most 'outstanding' in writing, had a deeper understanding of Wang Ke's achievements in reading than himself, which I didn't expect.
Now that Li Tai has mentioned this problem, Comrade Li Er doesn't want to make a simple decision like this, he wants to see what Wang Ke has his own unique views on this issue, if this matter can be passed, it can make more scholars in the Tang Dynasty, so that the imperial court has more ways to select talents, it is also a very good thing, after all, the scientific examination system proposed by Wang Ke last time has shown that it is a good way to select talents.
Comrade Li Er turned his head to Wang Ke and said, "Boy from the Wang family, what do you think of what Tai'er said?" What do you think, and let me hear how! ”
Comrade Li Er's questioning made Wang Ke feel a little caught off guard, originally when he came in today, Wang Ke thought that if Li Tai didn't dare to say it, he would just help Li Tai say it, as for the rest, Wang Ke really didn't think much about it.
Wang Ke knows that in this era, the existing education methods are not too much 'private' school education, in some large clans, that is, by the family money, invite the husband to the family to educate the children of their own family, in the court, there is only one Taixue, a small number of official children to educate, the whole large-scale education is not available, so the cultural quality of the whole social personnel is generally not high, correspondingly, but also make the entire productive forces can only be slow forward, due to the overall cultural quality is too low, resulting in innovation' There is a great lack of spirit, which is why in later generations, science and technology can advance rapidly, and now it can only be a few years, or even decades, before a new technology can appear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What Wang Ke remembers most is that a great man once said: "Education should start from the baby." ”
This sentence, Wang Ke thinks it is very correct, very wise, if a country wants to take off, education is the most basic, but also the most urgent problem to be solved, if there is no education, the whole society will fall into a foolishness, if you want to change, it can only be a fool's dream!
When Wang Ke thought of this, he felt that he should take advantage of this opportunity to make a proposal to Comrade Li Er, and the state treasury should take out a sum of money to build schools throughout the country, of course, there is no need to divide them so carefully like in later generations, after all, there are not so many subjects to study now, and the population of the whole country is not so dense, so it is enough to have one or two in one place.
Of course, even if you want to do this now, you can't think about it at one touch, or score steps, divide the area, you can set up one in a wealthy place first, the imperial court vigorously promote it, and then promote it after the results, so that it will not be a mere formality, and it will really be built in one place and succeed in one place, and the effect can be seen in the time when Comrade Li Er is the emperor, so that the future emperor can do this thing step by step.
Wang Ke raised his head, looked at the three fathers and sons of the Li family who were looking at him, and poured out everything he thought in his heart, and the three fathers and sons of the Li family were dumbfounded when they heard it, they didn't expect that Wang Ke had extended so many big truths from such a small thing, and raised the matter to a certain height, and the reason he said was also very appetizing to Comrade Li Er, in a word, cultivating talents for the imperial court! This alone is enough to make Comrade Li Er tempted.
Comrade Li Er couldn't wait to ask: "Then this matter can be carried out now, if it can be carried out now, wouldn't it be possible to see results as soon as possible?" ”
Wang Ke saw that Comrade Li Er was so anxious, and he could only shake his head helplessly, and immediately proceeded, saying that it can be said that it is okay, but it is not the same thing to do it, and now the so-called scholars, what they hold in their hands and what they see in their eyes are just Confucian works, if they are according to the ideal in Wang Ke's mind, then there is no meaning at all. []
Wang Ke is not against the doctrine of Confucianism, he just does not want all the ideas to be imprisoned in the doctrine of this school, Wang Ke hopes to see is a hundred schools of thought, is the real ability to serve the society, people in politics know that since ancient times, Confucianism is just a sharp weapon used by the ruling class to imprison the people's thoughts, when they turn around and use it to govern the country, it is the use of the Legalist set, the so-called "Confucian skin bones" came from this.
Wang Ke said seriously to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, it is unrealistic to start now, or according to what His Royal Highness King Wei said, all the ancient and modern classics of history and history will be sorted out by 'door' and category, and they will be regarded as tutorials, so that there can be a teaching syllabus and a standard for all teaching, so that it can be continued." []”
Comrade Li Er had to admit that Wang Ke's suggestion was right, but he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that he couldn't do such a meaningful thing right away, and his disappointed expression couldn't help but be 'revealed'.
Wang Ke saw Comrade Li Er's expression, and hurriedly explained: "The emperor doesn't have to be disappointed, in fact, this is just a little delay, as soon as this matter is completed, it can be started immediately, and the effect can be seen quickly!" ”
Comrade Li Er said sullenly: "You also said that you have to start from childhood, this cold window of hard study, you can't become a talent without ten years of hard work, how can you see the effect quickly?" ”
As soon as Wang Ke heard this, he understood what Comrade Li Er meant, who had only considered the length of time to start from scratch, and did not expect at all that there were still many scholars who had already finished reading the knowledge they needed to understand now, and that as long as they studied a little other subjects at that time, they would be completely qualified for the position they were going to engage in.
Wang Ke laid out this fact, which freed Comrade Li Er from his initial understanding, and his face returned to his previous joy.
In fact, Wang Ke's idea is very simple, running a school is to be done, but it is also necessary to make a general distinction, primary and senior are to be emphasized, primary schools may wish to be more, so that the number of educated people is larger, but if you want to continue to move forward on this road, you have to take over strict screening, only a part of the outstanding talents, in order to enter higher institutions for further study, as the country's talents are reserved, the future officials, will be most of these people to select.
And now the successor force has not been formed, but it is completely possible to select through the imperial examination system, outstanding direct appointment, and the rest of the people enter institutions of higher learning for further study, and then use them after they have a certain ability, which also solves the problem of disconnection from the beginning of training from children.
Wang Ke's words really made Comrade Li Er understand, and he didn't say more, and directly instructed Li Tai to organize people to start writing, so that Wang Ke's proposal could be carried out as soon as possible.
After Li Tai's affairs were done, Li Ke reported his recent progress to Comrade Li Er, and after getting Comrade Li Er's approval, he said goodbye to Comrade Li Er with Li Tai and Wang Ke, and went to do their own things after breaking up.
