It is said that it is the beginning of the tenth year of junior high school, in fact, as early as two or three days ago, the students who are preparing to enter the school have already registered their names, and because the accommodation cannot be arranged for the time being, the students who live within a radius of 30 miles must continue to return to the borrowed place to live.

In this round of enrollment, there are no less than 30,000 people who come from the northeast alone, who know Chinese, and there are no less than 30,000 young people from various ethnic minorities in the Central Plains, like Yunnan, Shelong has brought at least 3,000 more clever people over, all of whom stayed in Chang'an, Lingnan, at least more than 10,000 people, and even Shanyang and Dingxiang, students who have completed basic cultural education, and thousands of people have come here to study.

There is also a relatively large group, that is, some workers in Weinan who have been working for a period of time, are not satisfied with the status quo, and feel that they can make progress through study, as for young men like Song Xiaoyu, who are specially recommended to come and study, there are more than 100 people, and they will be designated to enter the special training class.

Although hundreds of classrooms have been built in brick and tile structures, they cannot accommodate these 100,000 students, but there are many professional teachings that can actually be carried out outdoors, for example, those who learn mud and water construction, and their teaching site is directly the large construction site being built by the college.

They not only have to learn to cook, but also to make the meals of the students of the college, as well as the tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen who are working on the construction site, and even the construction site of the overseas exploration and investment company not far away.

Don't underestimate the profession of chef, this year, more than 100,000 students have signed up to learn to cook, because there are more and more inns and restaurants in Datang, and the gap for this talent is too big. Later, after the news that the vocational and technical college opened a chef class and taught a well-known chef in Wangjiang was released, the major families, as well as those businessmen who were interested in running the restaurant and inn industry, sent people to study, but they studied at their own expense.

With the current social situation in Datang, even if some methods of stir-frying, as well as many seasonings used for cooking are sold on the market, the people's food taste has been greatly enriched than before, but the food cooked by ordinary people, compared with the level of Wangjianglou, there is still a huge difference, everyone spends money to eat in the restaurant, naturally they want to eat something delicious, with the current economic conditions, as long as there are a few good cooks, a restaurant is easy to open.

Of course, this is only an auxiliary industry, good is good, not the core talents cultivated by vocational and technical colleges, the real core talents, or another calculation.

All students who do not know how to read, after admission, will be gathered every day, teach two hours of Chinese pinyin, and then is the literacy, writing and so on almost cultural teaching, because the registration is an adult, Sun Xiangfu put forward some learning requirements, within three months, must learn to read and read, and master a certain writing ability, and then, is in the professional extracurricular practice of their own, the reason why he put forward such a requirement, is because the vocational and technical college will give each student, a dictionary.

The dictionary produced by the Yu family, printed with pinyin, as long as the initial period of time, learned pinyin, all the words, can be spelled out according to the dictionary, after that, you can rely on your own private practice, to improve the level of writing, and understanding, after all, when Yu Shinan revised the dictionary, in addition to adding the writing of simplified characters, but also the meaning of the word, the vernacular explanation, can be recognized, it is not difficult to understand, and again, the school provides a lot of free pen and ink paper, enough for them to practice.

The more technology is learned, the more important the basic ability to recognize and write, and it is difficult to make any achievements in an industry if you are illiterate.

For those students who have already completed the basic cultural education, they will be placed in the next stage by a special teacher.

At present, in terms of culture and education, Sun Xiangfu has shared the task with the major shareholders of the overseas exploration and investment company, and each family has some to offer, Sun Xiangfu is looking for the Yu family to ask for some people, Yu Xiuer's uncle Yu Zhen, was appointed as the head of the vocational and technical college, however, at present, the imperial court has not included it in the official education system, and when this batch of labor has passed, or after the construction of the engineering college is completed, the flow of people here may be separated, and the scale will be reduced a lot.

When Li Shimin's car drove over, the students of the Institute of Technology had completed the first lesson of the Korean Pinyin teaching, which was the picture of everyone teaching together on the empty playground, which was also a wonder.

"Ladies and gentlemen from all over the world, I have come to visit you······"

Just an opening sentence, Li Shimin made many grassroots students burst into tears of excitement, when did they ever think that on the first day of school, they would actually meet the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"The purpose of the establishment of the Vocational and Technical College is to let you learn to master better vocational skills, and after learning these skills, you can better contribute to the development, construction and ······ of our Datang."

Li Shimin talked about all aspects of vocational study from serving the country to supporting the students themselves, and almost all the sentences were in the vernacular, which everyone could understand with one ear.

After Li Shimin's speech, the students were dismissed for breakfast, and several central ministers led by Li Shimin, accompanied by Sun Xiangfu, began to walk around the academy.

"I don't really understand the intention of your vocational and technical college, if it's just to cultivate talents for overseas exploration and investment companies, in fact, most of the jobs can allow them to work and learn at the same time, isn't this the case in the factories in Weinan? When most of the workers first arrived there, they didn't know anything, they did it, and they did, so why bother with it? ”

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he knew that Li Shimin had some objections to the scale of the academy, 100,000 people, too many, if they were allowed to work, not only would they not waste national food, but they would also create a lot of economic benefits, but things could not only be thought of in terms of immediate benefits, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you can't say that, if we lose the spirit of pursuing better, then, we will only have to go backwards."

More than ninety out of five of the workers in Weinan were originally ordinary people, illiterate, did not know how to create, had no management and management, and could only draw gourds and do simple work according to the tasks assigned by their superiors.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that we want to cultivate a group of talents who can completely exceed the existing production efficiency level and technology.

Only in this way can we greatly save manpower, in fact, in Chen's view, nearly two million labor, can create more than just a little bit of Weinan is now produced.

In addition, in the future, what we want to make may be more sophisticated, more complex, high-end, just like the Daming Palace that we are about to build.

If we don't cultivate these talents who can build and create higher-end things in advance, what can we rely on to do it?

It would be very undesirable to just let it develop slowly.

For example, in the pre-Qin period, people already knew how to build palaces, and then the Qin and Han dynasties, the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the former Sui Dynasty, were still using that set of civil engineering construction methods.

But in our Datang, with the cement researched by the craftsmen under the subordinates, and then there are concrete buildings with better quality, as long as we continue to study it, we can accelerate the process of development even more.

You can also imagine how terrible it would be if we didn't study it, but a foreign country did. ”

Sun Xiangfu's words suddenly made Li Shimin think of some problems, if Goguryeo was one step ahead of the Tang Dynasty and developed in industry, so that all their soldiers were equipped with iron armor, holding a hundred steel war knives, driving stone throwings, and even crossbow carts to fight against the Tang Dynasty, then it is estimated that the fate of the Tang Dynasty would not be better than that of Goguryeo.

"What you say is reasonable, but if the students of this vocational and technical college are used to do technical research in various industries, it is too much!"

"Of course not, most of them will just become some grassroots leaders and managers, leading more people to progress. In Chen's view, all technological development and progress must have a certain foundation, and vocational and technical colleges are a place that can lay a better foundation for them.

Take this construction worker, for example! When he went to Weinan, he either worked as a plasterer or a bricklayer, going back and forth to various construction sites to do things, and after a lifetime of doing it, at most practice makes perfect, and he was better than ordinary people. Sun Xiangfu pointed to a skilled handicraft on a construction site.

Then, Sun Xiangfu pointed to the distance, holding the thread, teaching the students, what is the level of a top construction craftsman in a happy village, "Like Pan Shi, a senior technical craftsman from our happy village, he learned basic literacy and arithmetic in the first year of Zhenguan, and followed the children of the farmer to learn some geometry and physics knowledge, and later he joined the village's architectural research group, and the design and construction of the earliest batch of brick houses in Happy Village was made by their group."

Now, after several years of research, he has mastered many times more advanced technical level than he did not know at the beginning, and he has passed on all his architectural knowledge to these students, who are equivalent to standing on his shoulders and climbing up.

How can a person who climbs up out of thin air climb as high as a person who stands on his shoulder and climbs up?

Don't underestimate a building knowledge, a little progress, all need countless times of exploration, what degree of cement, the strongest viscosity, what degree of cement, will not easily crack, how high the house, how much thick load-bearing strength is needed, how to tie the steel bar, after pouring cement is the most firm, what kind of geometric structure can make the stability of the house stronger, what kind of material can be used to make the house warm in winter and cool in summer······

These points mentioned by the minister are only relatively basic and obvious aspects, however, they are just these aspects, and they are also impossible for ordinary people to explore in their lifetime.

Therefore, in order to keep our Datang strongest and stronger in the future, all our processes and technologies need to be systematically and comprehensively passed on, so that generation after generation of descendants can supplement them and make them more plump and advanced, so as not to be easily overtaken by others one day, making us fall into a situation of backwardness and beating. ”

Sun Xiangfu's words made Li Shimin nod his head again and again, and suddenly realized his intention of letting Li Chengqian experience various professions. It seems that as an emperor, he must conduct more research on all walks of life in the future, otherwise, in a few years, among his descendants, there may also be a faint master like Emperor Jin Hui who said, "Why not eat minced meat".
