Why do you think that teachers in social studies can't learn this?

A seemingly simple sentence of tax payment made Zhu Mingzhong stunned, and even looked at the teacher in surprise. Out of Zhu Zhiyu's understanding, knowing that the reason why he was reluctant to run a middle school did not mean that he was opposed to running a middle school, when he refused to run a middle school by the academy, he also recommended dozens of students, after all, only the academy can be promoted to the corresponding teachers.

And now, Zhu Zhiyu's suggestion made Zhu Mingzhong vaguely feel that the reason for his refusal may not be so simple.

"A teacher in social studies? Teacher, what do you mean? ”

Looking at Zhu Zhiyu, Zhu Mingzhong said tentatively.

"You mean that the teachers in social studies are taught mathematics, geography and other knowledge first, and then they teach the students, so that they have a certain foundation in mathematics and geography before they enter middle school......

Isn't this the model of primary school in later generations?

Zhu Mingzhong is naturally no stranger to this, after all, he is a person who has received a complete modern education system, and he naturally knows a lot about this education model, so he doesn't feel anything curious.

And this is also the education method of Qinghe Academy, and now Zhu Zhiyu has introduced him into social studies. But it's just a matter of course. After all, with the development of education, this way of teaching is the future development direction.

"Hmmm......"

After pondering for a while, Zhu Mingzhong's mind thought of those teachers of social studies in the countryside, most of them were quite old, and the reason why they became teachers was completely because the imperial examination was hopeless, so they made a living by half-farming and half-reading in social studies, or they were hired from outside the village. What if they resist new knowledge such as arithmetic or geography and refuse to teach them? After all, they are extremely old, and what they hope is that one of the disciples who have been taught can come out of a showman, so as to comfort their lives.

However, not all of them are older, like Wang Shiyuan...... Isn't he also teaching in geosocial studies for a living?

But are they willing to learn something new?

If they choose to refuse. What should I do then? After all, for Zhu Mingzhong, in his opinion, those old masters in the countryside are the real old masters, who are relatively more conservative and reject new things.

They will naturally reject these studies that have nothing to do with the imperial examination, after all, for them, what can show their achievements is probably to cultivate one or two talents and raise people. For this reason, they naturally wanted their students to spend more time studying the Four Books and the Five Classics, studying the Analects, and studying the Eight Strands of Writing, which were of no use at all. It's not about learning that can really be useful. After all, people's energy is always limited, and they will never want to let their students waste their energy in useless places.

After a little thought, Zhu Mingzhong nodded and said.

"It's not impossible, if you write the corresponding textbook, you can naturally be competent with your intelligence, but it's just ......"

After refilling a cup of tea for the teacher, Zhu Mingzhong said what he was worried about.

"This Mr. Sociology, most of the wish of his life, that is, one or two of his disciples can pass the examination to make a name for themselves, so as to comfort their lives, so how can they be willing to teach the "side door miscellaneous" in their eyes in social studies? ”

In the eyes of many scholars, the knowledge that cannot help them gain fame is naturally "sideways" and "miscellaneous studies" that are not worth mentioning. Naturally, the old masters would not be willing to waste time on these miscellaneous studies.

"Oh, that's right, today's game is boring, Chengren, you might as well go with the teacher. The old man has a place he wants to take you to. ”

Zhu Zhiyu smiled mysteriously.

"The place that the teacher wants to take the students to must be unusual. I'm getting a little impatient. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Mingzhong said eagerly. saw Zhu Zhiyu smiling and looking at him without saying a word.

After leaving the academy by car, the carriage traveled directly along the fairly smooth official road outside the city, and on the carriage, the curious Zhu Mingzhong asked several times, but Zhu Zhiyu did not tell him why he wanted to leave the city, until after entering a town, he told the coachman to stop, and then got out of the car and walked with Zhu Mingzhong.

As the highest-ranking official in Jiangbei, Zhu Mingzhong, who was wearing civilian clothes, and Zhu Zhiyu walked on the road together, they looked a bit like two scholars, and did not attract anyone's attention...... From the high place to the bottom, the mountain is called the mountain range continuously, and the highest part of the mountain, which becomes a spire, is called a peak; The flat peaks are called mountains, and they are also called posts, and those that can be walked when the hills are extended are called ridges......"

What came out of the classroom was not the Analects or the sentences in the Four Books and Five Classics, but ordinary geographical knowledge, and the voice of the reading aloud was immature. In surprise, Zhu Mingzhong quickened his pace, after all, what he heard now was not the Four Books and Five Classics studied in traditional social studies.

Walk to the front of the courtyard, you can see the courtyard door hanging "Zhang's social studies", obviously this is a family community, in Jiangbei social science is recovering little by little, although in the process of its recovery, the government only gave very little help, only to give it a certain amount of study field, exempt from the study of taxes, but when the environment is relaxed, the Han people's tradition of focusing on education once again let the original sinking social science has been revived.

"In the depths of the plain, there is a place where there is no water or vegetation, but the sand and gravel are everywhere, and there is no end to it, and this is called a desert. When the traveler arrives here, he finds it very difficult. ……”

Listening to the content read aloud by the students in the classroom, Zhu Mingzhong only felt a little surprised, and now the social science in front of him is obviously not the traditional Four Books and Five Classics, nor is it a subset of eight strands, but the most basic geographical knowledge.

Mountains, deserts, rivers, lakes and even the sea are the most basic geographical knowledge. Looking at the dozens of students of different ages in the classroom learning geography there, Zhu Mingzhong suddenly had an illusion, as if this was a primary school in the 17th century, but in this primary school, those teenagers were learning about world geography under the guidance of the teacher.

"What is this?"

Looking at the teacher with some puzzlement, Zhu Mingzhong occasionally turned his attention to this social school.

"Chengren, this Zhang's social studies is a social science run by Zhang Jiaji, and his social studies teacher Zhang Shan has copied books in the academy many times, and he occasionally knows him as a teacher, and knows that the reason why he copied the bibliography in the academy is to teach students geography, nature and arithmetic in this class, so he will take you here to see."

I see, looking at the classroom with dozens of students in some surprise, Zhu Mingzhong nodded, originally he thought that the social society would resist these "miscellaneous studies", but he didn't expect that there were still people who took the initiative to teach geography and arithmetic, although the teaching was extremely superficial, but this was exactly what they needed.

"Chengren, let's go to his study first and wait for him for a while."

Entering Zhang Shan's study, maybe he lived alone, so no one greeted them since they entered the house, but this was also comfortable. Zhu Mingzhong deliberately took a look at this study, in his study, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics and other practical books, there are also many works on geography, nature, etc., most of which are foreign works translated by the academy, and on his desk, there are several hand-copied books, one of which caught his attention.

"Enlightenment Handouts", looking at this handout, which was obviously written by himself, Zhu Mingzhong opened some of the contents, but found that it was very different from the Mengxue articles at this time, but through some simple words, the truth of being a human being, the words in the handouts are simple but not shallow, simple but not simple.

This person is indeed different from other social science teachers, and Zhu Mingzhong's heart suddenly became curious about this Zhang Yuanpeng. Finally, at noon, a man in his forties came out of the classroom, and when he came to the study, he was surprised to see the two people in the study.

"The younger generation has seen Mr. Shunshui."

After saluting Zhu Zhiyu first, Zhang Shan saluted Zhu Mingzhong, after all, he was wearing civilian clothes, and Zhu Zhiyu was his teacher, so he should naturally salute him first.

"I've seen the strategy, the rudeness, please forgive me."

Then Zhang Shan ordered his son who had just entered the house to make tea.

"Vision, you don't need to be polite, today, I came to you with Chengren, I just want to see your social studies, how to teach arithmetic and geography on weekdays."

After Zhu Zhiyu explained his intentions, Zhu Mingzhong looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Have you seen me?"

In this era when there are no photos, there are not many strangers who can tell his identity in one word.

"When I was teaching mathematics at the college, the students had the opportunity to listen to a lesson, but the lessons taught by the students were too advanced for the students to understand."

Oh, I see, although Zhu Mingzhong has never interfered with the teaching of Qinghe Academy, he is also a professor of the academy, and it is mathematics that is taught, although he is not a mathematics major, but in this era, the mathematical knowledge in his mind is still far ahead of the times. Naturally, he did not hesitate to pass on those mathematical knowledge to the students in the academy.

After a brief hustle, Zhu Mingzhong asked about the professor of social sciences, and Zhang Shan naturally explained them one by one in the face of his inquiry.

"Public classes and monthly classes are examined once a month, Shuowang classes are examined once a month, and quarterly classes are examined four times a year. In addition, there are multiple examinations for classes and random examinations for Yixue......"

It seems that the study pressure of social studies is still quite heavy, and the number of exams is significantly higher than that of primary schools in later generations. However, unlike later generations, if students "fail" the exam, social studies will also allow students to "make up the exam".

"Since the schoolwork is so intense, is there time to teach students things like arithmetic, geography, etc.? In this way, will it not delay the students from studying the sage texts? ”

After throwing out this high hat, Zhu Mingzhong looked at Zhang Shan and waited for his answer, which was exactly what he was curious about and where Zhang Shan needed to give an answer. ——————————————————————————
