Chapter 619: Jiuyuan County School
The school's doorman uncle is really powerful, he does not allow any unrelated people to enter the school to disturb the children's learning, and firmly believes that this is the most meaningful thing he has done in his life.
In fact, the reason why the school has such a rule is not only because it is afraid that a steady stream of visitors will disturb the children's learning, but also because they are afraid that these visitors will disturb the teachers.
The scholars of Datang are always expensive, a little level, do not seek a background, and are willing to teach in a place like Jiuyuan County, that is very rare, unless it is the kind of person who really takes the opening of people's wisdom as a lifelong ideal in the struggle, otherwise, it is impossible to stay here, because, now Datang people who read and write, there are too many upward channels, a little effort, a few years of internship, as a decent official, there is no difficulty.
Therefore, the number of teachers in Jiuyuan County is in dire straits, and it is just barely enough that one teacher is responsible for a class, and if one of the teachers cannot attend class on time because of some other things, then there must be a class of students who are forced to suspend classes.
The eldest grandson Chun talked a lot in front of the school, and finally got the doorman uncle to agree, and during the recess, he helped them report to the principal Yu Zhen, as for whether to see or not, it depends on the mood of the people.
Yu Zhen, who was simply from the Yu family, understood the token passed by the eldest grandson Chun to the uncle of the doorman, and soon, Li Shimin and his party were allowed to enter the campus.
"Who are you?"
Yu Zhen is not very old, just turned seventeen years old, is Yu Chang's concubine, different from his brother Yu Fang, he was born to the orchid of Yu Mansion, is a mixed race of Central European blood, he has been very inferior in the house since he was a child, and lives a life not much better than that of a house slave, however, he is very studious, the Yu family is a scholarly family, and there is no lack of opportunities for him to learn, so his literary level is many times higher than his half-tone eldest brother Yu Fang, Yu Chang wanted them to learn something from Sun Xiangfu very early, after all, a gentleman like Yu Fang, Under Sun Xiangfu's training, they have gradually become talents, and a relatively high-level concubine like Yu Zhen should also be able to find a future.
It's a pity that he just turned sixteen last year, and after being sent by Yu Chang to Sun Xiangfu in Shannan Province, Sun Xiangfu was soon dismissed and lost the power to directly appoint and dismiss Qipin officials, and Sun Xiangfu couldn't help him.
Because, here, he doesn't need to be inferior, what he enjoys is the respectful eyes of all the people, and the love of all children.
"I am the governor of Jingzhou, you can call me Changsun Chun, these nobles, I want to take a little bit of your time to learn about the county education in Jiuyuan County."
Of course, Yu Zhen knew about Changsun Chun, but when he saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun and others after makeup, he felt familiar and very raw, in fact, even if it was the county commander Sun Dali, he had to listen to the orders of Governor Jingzhou, and he was a small county school and could not disobey at all.
However, if you think that Yu Zhen will readily agree, it would be a big mistake, I saw Yu Zhen arch his hand towards the eldest grandson Chun and said, "Since it is inconvenient for you to say the identities of several nobles, then, the lower officials will have to inform them in some other aspects, you must ensure that he is the identity of my Datang nationality, and you must ensure that after they understand the education system of our Jiuyuan County, they will not cause harm to the interests of my Datang, otherwise you will be fully responsible, I will conduct a simple interrogation of them, in my interrogation, If you find out that they are not from the Tang Dynasty, I will also refuse your request to let them know about our Jiuyuan County education system. β
All right! When Yu Zhen said this, Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and others were all stunned.
However, Li Shimin soon reacted, this is the so-called system management of people, if it involves the bottom line of principles, a small eight-pin county study and teaching, can also reject the request of a governor from the five-grade governor's history.
"Teach Yu, can you take a step to speak?" When Changsun Chun saw Li Shimin's stunned eyes just now, he was a little anxious, and now he can't care about helping Li Shimin hide his identity, he knows that if you don't obey the system, you can't turn the page.
Soon, Yu Zhen knew the identities of Li Shimin and others under the explanation of the eldest grandson, so he was able to visit the school at will.
"The private interviews with the micro-servers in those dramas in Wangjianglou are really all deceptive, I have just arrived at the place, and my identity has been exposed by others, which is really boring!" Li Shimin smiled depressedly.
Eldest Sun Chun answered with some embarrassment, "Don't worry, Sect Yu will not tell anyone the news of your arrival." β
"Hehe, it's okay, but I disrupt their teaching, I shouldn't be."
Li Shimin naturally will not worry about Yu Zhen, this kind of system to manage people, will fully weaken the official hierarchy, to avoid the situation of the power of the minister monopolizing the court, he is very happy to see what the situation will be like if this situation is spread throughout the Tang Dynasty officialdom, however, he has seen some aspects of this system, that is, who will decide the rationality of the system, whether it is the officials in the center of the court, or the people related to the system.
For example, the education, medical care, pension and other systems in Jiuyuan County are all set up on the basis of public opinion. In the current situation, which is already stable and improving, is it necessary for the imperial court to implement such reforms?
Relying on his own thinking, Li Shimin can't figure it out, so he has to read more and summarize more.
The school building in Jiuyuan County is the same as that in Shanyang, the main body is sturdy, the configuration is simple, the benches, the long tables, a classroom is almost nearly 100 students, at a glance, there is nothing to look at, Li Shimin's focus is on the spirit of those children, it is said that the schools in Jiuyuan County, the teaching materials used are different from those in other places in the Tang Dynasty, and there are further improvements in the original teaching materials of Sun Xiangfu teaching the children of the peasant sect and those under the Happy Village.
"Yu Jiaoyu, what kind of courses do the students in your school teach?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Chinese and Mathematics are the main subjects, and then painting, music, dance, and physical education. However, as you get older, more classes will be added. For example, in the third grade, there will be an increase, abacus, ideology and morality, in the fifth grade, history and politics will be added, and in the sixth grade, there will be astronomy and geography, biology and nature, but in the first six years, all of them are only basic teaching, which can be called the primary semester.
In the next three years, it is the middle semester, there will be new geometry, physics, more difficult algebra, and one or two Fanbang languages, of course, the actual teaching time, only two years, to the third year, you can make a career choice, and then start to study architectural engineering, hydraulic engineering, smelting and casting, equipment manufacturing, biochemistry, and so on, however, these disciplines, may take several years, before there are gradually specific textbooks come out, after all, we now have a lot of eleven or twelve-year-old students, but the highest, also only read the fifth grade. β
After Yu Zhen's words, Li Shimin was even more stunned, these subjects are much richer than the disciplines on Shanyang's side, after all, over there, Sun Xiangfu is mainly based on the manpower of the Wang family as the main body of education, in addition to teaching Chinese pinyin and Chinese characters, as well as a certain degree of mathematics, music, painting, dance and other sub-courses are very few, after completing the basic teaching, most of the people will be put into society.
"Can I read your textbook?"
"This, naturally, you can, but, please wait, Your Majesty, the minister has to explain to the students first, and then help you go to the office to find it."
The bronze bell for class rang on time, and Yu Zhen turned his head and ran to a classroom in the school building.
"This Yu Zhen, don't look at him as the principal, he is actually still a young man who does things with a lot of hands." Changsun Chun pointed to the back of Yu Zhen running away.
Li Shimin smiled and didn't bother with him, perhaps, this kind of situation of running to the classroom as soon as the class bell rang has become his conditioned reflex, but it has not aroused Li Shimin's disgust.
Soon, Yu Zhen walked out of the classroom, and then ran directly in the direction of the office, Li Shimin saw this, smiled again, pointed to the classroom and said, "Why don't we go and see what the students he teaches are learning." β
Soon, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun and others all moved to the windowsill of the classroom, the county school's school building, all built by Sun Dali from the county's financial allocation, naturally there are no very tall windows, directly papier-mΓ’chΓ© wooden frame windows, in order to have good lighting, at this time those windows are opened, and the windowsill can't block the sight of Li Shimin and his adults at all, so they quickly saw what the children in the classroom were doing.
There is no sound of reading and no children writing, the children in this classroom should not be more than eight years old, looking at the sign on the door number, it is the second grade of primary school, and the children at this time are holding a small pair of scissors, cutting ribbon paper.
Li Shimin was still a little stunned when he saw this situation, because the paper is a matter of culture and education, although the current cost has been reduced to a very low level, it should not be wasted at will, but before he could get angry, Queen Changsun was the first to say, "These children's hands are so skillful, these paper-cuts, I'm afraid they are no worse than the paper-cutting artists in our palace." β
"Yes! Oh, yes! My sister I usually like to cut, but I've never seen them so cute. Concubine Yan answered.
"Paper-cutting? Why do children learn to cut paper? β
Li Shimin has asked the wrong object this question, because the eldest grandson Chun doesn't know very much, but at this time, Yu Zhen has already run over with some teaching materials, and replied directly, "This is the children's extracurricular activity class, which can cultivate their hands-on ability, and creative ability, many paper patterns used in packaging in food factories are invented by them, however, every time there is an extracurricular activity class, there will be different projects, paper-cutting, just one of them, the senior class, will use paper to make a lot of models and other things, according to Li Daochang, Will this increase the children's ability to accept the manufacturing science they will learn in the future, or many subjects that involve three-dimensional structures? β
All right! As soon as Yu Zhen explained this, Li Shimin was even more confused.
