Chapter 264: Business (continued)
Yu Wenwen said it so reasonably, Wang Fei was speechless for a while, but he quickly found a flaw: "King, since no one is willing to sell their food to others, why would the famous scholars of scripture teach what they have learned in their lives and compile it into a collection of test questions?" ”
"That's right, so you need a syllabus, summarize the basic knowledge and publish it in the world, as for the insights of the famous masters, if you want to learn, you have to learn from a teacher." Yu Wenwen answered very simply, this question was not difficult for him.
"The content of the syllabus is up to state school, and students who have graduated from state school, if they feel that they are still unsatisfied, can choose to go to the teacher again to learn deeper knowledge, and they have studied for 14 years according to the syllabus, and the basic skills are solid, and famous teachers can directly teach more difficult knowledge, which is convenient for everyone."
Having said that, Wang Jun finally knew what the "Syllabus" meant, and Yu Wenwen's explanation of the test question set was not over: "To learn knowledge, it is not enough to just read books, you have to take exams from time to time to consolidate and strengthen your understanding." ”
"For example, there are monthly and quarterly exams in ethnology, and the teacher has to find a way to test the students, but the teacher's ability is high and low, and most of the test questions come up with are limited, so if there are ready-made test question sets for sale, for these teachers, isn't it just that they can be used?"
"Don't talk about other places, just talk about the Shannan area, deducting official studies, sectarian studies, and clan studies, don't the teachers of these schools need a set of test questions?"
"Even if the gentleman is arrogant and unwilling to use it, but the bookseller blows the wind in the ears of the patriarch and the sect master, saying that there is a topic from a famous scholar, how do you think they will choose?"
Wang Fei felt that his brain was a little messy, he really couldn't accept Yu Wenwen's method of "managing" knowledge, he pondered for a while, and launched a weak counterattack: "What if a certain ethnology has never used the practice of test question assessment?" ”
"Then let them have!"
Yu Wenwen has much more insight than people in this era, so Wang Yong's counterattack has no chance, and he directly tells the other party the method: test questions can also be sold in large quantities as goods.!
If the syllabus strictly stipulates the number of hours, six years of Mongolian studies, four years of county (county) studies, and four years of state studies, the teaching content of many ethnic studies and sectarian studies includes these three stages, and the total is almost 14 years.
There are four quarters of each year, three sets of papers in each quarter, for a total of 168 sets of examination papers.
Taking Shannan as an example, there are 34 prefectures in Jing, Xiang, An, and Huang, and each county has an average of three counties, and each county has an average of three ethnic (sectial) schools, that is, more than 300 schools, and each school needs test papers for monthly examinations.
As long as the price of the test papers can be kept as low as possible, so that the clan and sect studies can afford it, then it is conceivable how great the demand will be, after all, not every clan has the financial resources to print the test papers with a wax paper mimeograph machine similar to the official office.
This is only the Shannan area, if you count Jiangzhou and other neighboring areas, the demand will be even higher, of course, this requires booksellers to find a way to sell the test papers printed in Huangzhou to various ethnic and sectarian studies.
The test papers in the hands of booksellers are set by famous scholars such as Er Liu, with both test questions and standard answers, and explanations are given with test questions.
At this time, Xiyang, Huangzhou, was the Huanggang of Hubei Province in later generations, and the test papers of Huanggang Middle School were once the sought-after goods of schools all over the country for a period of time.
The test questions published by Xiyang, there is a question maker's payment, and the question maker can get a "share" from the sale of the test paper, the larger the sales, the more the share, the question maker can make real money, and let students from all over the world test their own questions without leaving home, fame and fortune, who is not happy?
For booksellers, regardless of official studies, more and more private schools (clan studies, sect studies, etc.) use their own published textbooks and test papers, which means small profits but quick turnover, no matter how low the unit price is, huge sales can bring huge profits.
Bookstores need a lot of paper to print books, which brings more business opportunities to the paper industry, and countless people benefit from such "selling knowledge" activities, which naturally forms an education industry.
Isn't it a good thing that such an industry needs to employ a large number of people, so that many landless people can have the opportunity to support their families?
Yu Wenwen's rhetorical question made Wang Fei speechless, he probably understood what the education industry was, and for the first time knew that education could be operated in this way, as for the previous question, Yu Wenwen also answered.
The school club tried to carry out teacher education, and it did take more than ten years to see the effect on the side of the school club, but Wang Jun's thinking was limited, because Yu Wenwen didn't plan to let the school club eat alone.
Taking Shannan as an example, there are more than 300 private schools, and there are teachers with teaching experience, so as long as they find a way to accept the syllabus and teach according to the plan of the syllabus, then the promotion of "Huangzhou education" will be very fast.
Teachers may have a gateway view, but employers will not ignore the opportunity of "famous teachers", and booksellers only need to convince the suzerain, patriarch who is the employer, then it is not difficult to sell the teaching materials.
The private teachers who have accepted the syllabus will unconsciously follow such teaching ideas to teach, then they have received indirect teacher education, and those students who have studied for many years can test their strength by using the Huangzhou test questions.
Whether it is a student or a teacher, it will not be difficult to adjust the learning pace according to the syllabus, and as long as you can answer the test questions in Huangzhou well, then even if you have not studied according to the syllabus before, you will have the same level of knowledge.
Therefore, for the education industry or teacher education to be effective, it does not need to be more than 20 years.
This kind of educational innovation is promoted by private businessmen rather than the government, although the imperial courts of all dynasties did not want to see businessmen, but this kind of persuasion of people to learn, the government will certainly be happy to see it.
Therefore, there is no need to use the power of the governor's office, and the profit-seeking booksellers alone can implement the "Huangzhou education" in all parts of Shannan.
Hearing this, Wang Fei sincerely agreed with Yuwenwen's idea, and the implementation of "Huangzhou education", the syllabus is the key to the key, he got up Yuwenwen saluted, and thanked him for his advice.
At this moment, the two of them are in the middle of a lonely city, and it is not yet known when they will be able to break the siege, and it is uncertain whether Yuwen's family will be able to gain a firm foothold, but Wang Fei agrees with Yuwenwen's long-term plan.
He has come back to his senses now, knowing that Yuwen Wen's play in the "education industry" is the move of "Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang", and his ambition is not small.
An ambitious person will have a long-term plan, and it is such a person who needs someone to advise him.
Wang Fei's behavior similar to Mao Sui's self-recommendation in the past year is to hope that Yu Wenwen is such a person, and now, he is finally completely sure.
"This syllabus, the widow has asked all the great Confucians in Xiyang to ponder carefully, and try to come up with a satisfactory version as soon as possible after continuous revision.
Of course, Wang Jun would not refuse such a request, but he still tried again: "King, I don't know... In the future, when the Shannan states recommend talents, will they consider... For example, the results of the students' Huangzhou State School examination papers are used as one of the assessment conditions? ”
This is another temptation, Yu Wenwen knows, but he doesn't plan to laugh and say nothing, as the head of the mansion, he always has to leak some words, so that the staff knows in their hearts, as for what the meaning of the tone is, it depends on the staff's ability to understand.
"It depends on what Daxingtai means." 10
