37. Teaching materials

Everything starts with the doll, and it makes sense at any time.

Li Qi's plan to open a school in each cantonment barracks was greatly welcomed and supported by military households. In ancient times, education was definitely the privilege of the wealthy and nobles, and basically the common people did not have much opportunity to receive education. This kind of "rural teacher" is not difficult to find, and there are still many half-hung scholars who can read and write in various places, and who do not have much livelihood.

The problem is that few of them can do basic arithmetic, and the foundation of education for children and adolescents can determine the level of future development. Although he doesn't want to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, it is very beneficial for children to learn arithmetic as early as possible for their future growth.

The strength of one person cannot drive the development of the whole society, which requires countless people to achieve the goal through unremitting and long-term efforts. Li Qi's dream is to correct the so-called "Confucianism" that is dedicated to retreat and proficient in the art of ruling power, so that "learning can be applied and knowledge can be learned" carried forward.

Fortunately, after being trampled on by a group of "barbarians" from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties, Confucianism declined, and even the literati were despised, and they were unable to help the rulers imprison the people's minds like the Ming and Qing dynasties. The so-called "science" that specializes in cultivating hypocrites has not yet appeared, and Confucianism is still normal in this period, and the imperial examination is also a variety of examinations, and the Ming arithmetic and Ming law can also pass the examination and become a doctor, that is, a reserve official.

It's just that the scientific examination in the Tang Dynasty was just a joke, and it adopted an admission system that combined examination and recommendation. The final result is that those who do well in the written test will also be brushed down by the children of officials and powerful families in the release test (interview) of the Ministry of Officials, and most of the children of the poor are just foils. It's a lot like some kind of exam in the future.

This kind of examination has created a stagnant water within the top ruling group, where the powerful and noble clans control the supreme power and are not replenished with fresh blood. It also caused the envy of the Hanmen scholars to accumulate more and more for the high-level magnates, and only then did the resentful poems come out in "Budi Hou Fu Ju", "The incense array of the sky is full of peace, and the city is full of golden armor".

Due to the "black box operation", a businessman's child was not admitted to the civil service, which eventually led to the fall of a dynasty, isn't this a bloody story?!

Li Qi is the prince of the Later Tang Dynasty and the legal heir of this dynasty, and now he wants to encircle a large number of scholars who are not interested in the Jin army at all.

So what he was going to open in the royal manor of Jinyang Beiyuan was a teachers' college and a teacher's training school - of course, it certainly couldn't be called that. Jinyang Academy? Well, let's make do with it!

The first batch of 60 young people under the age of 20 to 25 with a certain foundation will be enrolled...... Li Jiqi thought about it and added another 500 teenagers between the ages of 12 and 16. The doll is too small, we can't catch it now, so we can catch a teenager first!

Set the enrollment target and let the Taiyuan Mansion implement it, and Li Qi shook his hand.

In the study room of the Jin Palace, Li Qi was working hard to write, and Li Huan and He Xuan were waiting on the side, and this state had lasted for a week. Putting down the brush in his hand, Li Qi rubbed his sore wrist, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this work of writing and compiling books is really not something that normal people can do!

There are also several so-called Ten Classics of Arithmetic such as "Nine Chapters" and "Zhou Barnyard " on the table, which Li Qi occasionally looks through as a reference.

A book of "Elementary Solutions to Arithmetic" is not something that can be completed in a short period of time.

Arithmetic in ancient China was okay, but the use of numbers made it inconvenient to record and calculate. What Li Qi improved was the introduction of lowercase Ahoubo numbers and some mathematical operation symbols, and used symbols instead of words, which was much more convenient and simple when doing manual calculations.

This lowercase number really can't be called a big food number now, because this Sanskrit numeral symbol, which has just been transmitted from India, has not yet fully become its later form. Of course, Li Qi also modified the Arabic numerals of later generations to make them closer to the original symbolic state, similar to the Tianzhu numeral symbols in Buddhist scriptures.

Arithmetic is the foundation of all science, and it is impossible not to teach it, and it is impossible for students not to learn it. Of course, it is almost enough to learn the four arithmetic and elementary geometric calculations, and the more advanced algebra and geometry problems only need to be studied by engineering students.

It's useless for ordinary people to learn too much, it's just a waste of time.

In addition, Li Qi plans to open a special medical hall in Jinyang Academy.

After a week of hard work, Li Qi suddenly figured out that the compilation of teaching materials is not a matter of one or two days, and he is a little too anxious. When the students start school later, they slowly sort out the lecture notes, which are actually teaching materials, and then they can be regarded as stopping writing.

Of course, it is impossible for him to personally teach all the 500 teenagers that Jinyang Academy is expected to enroll, so he will first teach a few of his followers who are more bright-minded, and then find some young students from the sixty young students who are more flexible and better at learning, and then let them teach those young students.

As for the three thousand disciples and seventy-two sages, this is a bit too underestimated!

He felt that he had to pass on knowledge to hundreds of thousands of people at least in order to spread civilization in the world.

Li Qi's other building in Beiyuan Manor was also included, as the office and residence of the teachers of Jinyang Academy. In the Tang Dynasty, there were people who opened open academies, but there were not many of them, and most of them were difficult to maintain. It was only after the Song Dynasty that the academy gradually attached importance to civilian education, and it gradually flourished.

Moreover, Li Qi wanted to make the academy a way of free room and board and uniform clothing, so as to avoid distortion and damage to the psychology of some students due to the disparity between the rich and the poor. This is also the main reason why later generations of schools require uniform uniforms, because the psychology of teenagers is immature, and the gap in society should not be shown in school as much as possible.

It's just that it's more expensive to do that......

It seems that with his current financial resources, he cannot afford it for the time being.

“…… Thirty is not more than twenty, and the day is long hungry for small nail vegetables. The elders of Qiaotou mourned each other, because of the legacy of Rong Tao's book. Why don't the men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis of ten thousand households, ......"

The scholars of the Tang Dynasty, with swords and swords at their belts, horses under their hips, and thousands of miles out of the army, were not rotten Confucians in the Ming and Qing dynasties. For the scholars at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Qi still has some expectations.

My own students, as long as they don't make the four bodies industrious, and the grains are not distinguished.

As for the first supervisor of Jinyang Academy, he was naturally ready to take the lead. At that time, a group of generals under his command immediately shouted "Hello principal!" when they saw him. Waiting for the lecture, this familiar scene seems to be quite exciting......
