Chapter 297: Daxing School
After the matter of the flying dragon riding was resolved, Li Xin was able to let go of a stone in his heart. Comparatively speaking, hoplites are relatively easy to build, because there is no restriction on the war horse, which is something that cannot be produced by itself for the time being. Everything related to the army is now under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Among them, the manufacture of weapons, which was originally managed by Lao Ma, has been handed over to the Ministry of War, which has a special armaments department, which is used to produce armaments.
Since the last Modao showed its might, Li Xin and the others have also found some shortcomings, so they are now stepping up the transformation. Coupled with the other large number of armaments, the Armaments Division is too busy today! Therefore, I am afraid that it is not so easy to form an army without breaking the army.
Fortunately, the unbroken army can be formed first, and the relevant training can also be carried out first, and as for the equipment needed, it can be slowly replenished. Anyway, according to his thoughts, these two troops will not come in handy in a short time.
"The training place of the two pro-army armies, the foot soldiers are easier to say, and they can be placed in those valleys under Huashan. However, this flying dragon ride must have a vast place to do it, and it has to be kept secret, so it is a little difficult to do! You'll have to think about it! After Peng Lin and the others left, Li Xin thought about it for a while, but he didn't have any good ideas, so he had to let it go first!
After lunch, he suddenly remembered the scene he had seen in Xishui, and he couldn't help but worry about education.
"The general summoned the subordinate to come, but there is something to order?" When the two arrived, they saluted.
If you want to say that among the six departments today, the most leisurely is probably the Ministry of Rites, because there is nothing too big to do. Even the Criminal Department, because Li Xin ordered them to make laws, was so busy all day long that their feet did not touch the ground.
"This incident is very important, and it is related to the future development plan of our Huashan Army. Moreover, this matter is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, Xue Shangshu, this matter, I'm afraid you have to plan it carefully! Li Xin motioned for the two to sit down first and said.
"I don't know what the general is referring to!" Hearing that there were important things to be done by himself, Xue Zan was happy. After all, being too idle every day, although it is also the duty of Shangshu, makes him feel that he is not valued.
"Some time ago, I went to various places and found that the children of ordinary people, regardless of age, are all playing at home, which is very bad! I decided to build schools in all the counties under my rule so that the children of the people could go to school. In this way, the talents we can use in the future will gradually increase! Li Xin said.
"It turns out that this is the matter, what the general said, and the subordinate officials also have ideas, and they have been thinking about this matter recently. It's just that I haven't come up with a plan yet, and I didn't expect the general to put it forward! It's a shame to make the lower officials! Hearing this, Xue Zan couldn't help but show a trace of shame.
"Oh, so you already have an idea, tell me about it!" Hearing that he had an idea, Li Xin couldn't help but be happy.
"Daxing School, this is a matter of education and education, since the beginning of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, it is a major event of the country. It's just that since the wars over the years, most of this matter has been abandoned. In the past, the Han Dynasty had Taixue for students from all over the world to study, and although there were often intermittent in later dynasties, this Taixue actually still existed. The following officials imagined that in the land of Chang'an, there was a place for Taixue, so it was better to restore it and select young students from all over the country to study. Xue Zan hurriedly said.
"Well, that's one way to go, but what about the children of ordinary people?" Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but nodded, but then asked.
After all, there are still more children from ordinary people's families, and those young people who have read and write are still a minority after all.
"In the opinion of the following officials, private schools can be held in local schools, so that children from ordinary families can also go to school. For example, a school in Sanwu Township, or a school in Wuliu Township, depending on the distance of the road and the number of students! Xue Zan replied.
His idea, relatively speaking, is more realistic. In general, it is still the kind of thinking that the predecessors ran schools, and they basically rely on the parallel road of public and private schools, that is, public schools and private schools at the same time.
Of course, the most important point of this is this method of adapting measures to local conditions and sharing a model in several townships. This point is deeply supported by Li Xin.
The great development of the education system actually began in the Han Dynasty, when two forms of official learning and private learning gradually emerged. The so-called official schools are naturally government-run schools, among which there are Taixue run by the central government, as well as official schools run by local governments themselves, and so on.
Private learning, on the other hand, is run by those scholars and scholars who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. This kind of school is actually more like a small but refined aristocratic school. Relatively speaking, this kind of school not only chooses the teacher by the students, but more often than not, the teacher picks the students.
In private learning, what is generally taught is specialized things, such as a certain scripture. After all, a person's energy is limited, and some celebrities may be proficient in a certain classic, so everyone who is well-deserved in this regard can naturally open a Jinglu to teach.
This kind of private school is basically the same level as Taixue. If it is divided from the textbooks, it is roughly divided into two parts, such as Taixue and Jinglu, which teach Confucian classics, and their purpose is to enter the court as an official and serve the emperor.
For example, local government schools and some private schools are mainly responsible for literacy, arithmetic, writing, as well as educating local people, and are responsible for changing customs and other enlightenment education. Relatively speaking, the level of Taixue and Jinglu is naturally higher, and ordinary people can't reach it.
But such an education system undoubtedly needs to be supported by financial resources, that is, it can only be done when the world is peaceful. If, like today, eating is a problem, who has the heart to run a school!
"You're right! Depending on the size of the township, it is a good idea to let the children in each township go to school nearby. However, according to my idea, there should be a prefectural school in each county, and all junior high school students who pass the examination can enter the school. Then, a county school was set up in the county government, and the best of the county school were selected to study, and the excellent ones in the county school were admitted to the Taixue. In this way, a good system can be formed, and the talents who have been trained can basically be directly promoted and appointed. Li Xin thought for a moment and added.
His idea is much more comprehensive, and of course, to a certain extent, it is borrowed from the education system of later generations. For people at this time, it seems too cumbersome.
Therefore, after Xue Zan and Xu Fuzi heard it, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a while. Because they didn't expect that Li Xin would have such great ambitions to set up such a bottom-up education system, and almost every level was covered.
"General, if it is set up in this way, I'm afraid our financial resources will not be able to bear it!" Xu Fuzi said with a bitter face and sullenly.
"The matter of education, a century-old plan, must not be cautious. This is related to our future development, and it can even be said to be related to the rise and fall of the whole world in the future. So, no matter what, no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it! Li Xin understood his worries very well, but said firmly.
"General, with our current territory, we don't need to run too many schools. It's just that after such a four-level division, don't children have to go to school at a young age? Xue Zan asked after thinking about it for a while.
"For the time being, I'll be seven years old! Under the rule of the Huashan Army, seven-year-old children, both male and female, must be enrolled in school! Four years of study in the township school and three years in the county school, so that basically more than half of the people can enter the county school. Another three years of county school, and then three years of Taixue! Li Xin thought for a moment before he said.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with being seven years old! It's just that both men and women are required to go to school, which is probably inappropriate! After Xue Zan heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
The idea of male superiority and inferiority of women in this era, although it is not as perverted as after Zhu Lixue, is still very common. Especially since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the concept of three from four virtues has begun to take root in the hearts of the people and become the mainstream!
In addition, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's exclusive Confucianism, some of Confucius's views were misunderstood, so that the idea of male superiority and female inferiority was deeply rooted.
Although in this era, due to the chaos in the world, not many people care about the etiquette outline, but Li Xin is really not sure to break this kind of thinking in the hearts of the people. If you don't get it right, you're killing yourself.
Therefore, he only emphasized that in the township school, both men and women must be enrolled, but after the township school, he did not mention it.
"No, the purpose of enrolling both boys and girls in school is to promote education and lead people to goodness. After all, women are also human beings, and if they are not taught, how can they know that things are not good and evil! Therefore, it is necessary to read the township school, and as for how high the individual achieves after reading, it is a personal problem! Li Xin borrowed a high-sounding reason, which can be regarded as an opening for women to receive education.
Educating the world, this is the concept of Confucianism! Under this lofty reason, whoever stands up against it means opposing Confucianism. Moreover, it is only four years of rural education, which is still acceptable to most people.
Especially with Li Xin's current status and prestige, it is not too difficult to promote this matter. Opening a hole first can be regarded as leaving a glimmer of hope, and it will be slowly improved in the future.
