Chapter 1244 - The Real School – The Student Council

Naturally, it is not possible for a group to be completely ossified. Yun Xi will absorb fresh blood into the aristocratic class, and at the same time, it is necessary to implement the end elimination system, if a certain family is a generation of people who have no talent, then it can't rely on Yun Xi not to give this family a chance.

Yunxi's approach may not be the best, but it is the best way he can think of to maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty. As emperor, the primary starting point of all his policies was to maintain his own rule and that of future generations.

After hearing Xiyao's question last night, Yun Xi told her the whole reason and what she was thinking about clearly. Xiyao is now the queen and the mother of the future emperor, and her mother's family is also the beneficiary of Yun Xi's practice, so she can naturally understand Yun Xi's practice.

But Chen Ji is not. Chen Ji may also enter the aristocratic class that Yunxi wants to transform in the future, but he is not now, and as a literati from ordinary people, he will naturally be inclined to literati now, so he can't talk to him directly.

Yun Xi stood by the window and thought for a while, and said to Chen Ji: "I don't just recruit the children of the noble family to enroll, Lovely Qing thinks that Wenchen will be willing to send the children to this school?" ”

Chen Ji was stunned, and then fell silent. Yun Xi did too many things after he ascended the throne, some of the reforms carried out in the early years changed later, and the civil officials may not really believe what Yun Xi said, especially in their opinion, the Guozijian is still recruiting prisoners normally, and the imperial examination system is also going on, the big deal is that it is just a situation where the nobles and the civil officials check and balance each other, even if they give more to the nobles, it is not enough for them to send their children to study in the Wucheng Academy at the risk of being regarded as traitors by other civil officials.

Seeing that this reason silenced him, Yun Xi hurriedly moved on to the next topic in order to prevent him from waking up and asking other questions.

"Chen Qing, in addition to the different subjects set up by this school from Jiangwutang and Guozijian, it will also be different from these two schools in terms of management."

"First, this school will not set up personnel in charge of general affairs like the lecture hall and the Guozijian. In addition to the principal, vice principal, and secretary, there are only five secretaries in the whole school to assist the vice principal and secretary in managing the school, organizing examinations, and temporarily helping new students in their daily lives. But only for one month, after which the students will be completely self-reliant. ”

"All other things in the school, except for the sanitation of the common areas of the school, which are carried out by hired subordinates, and the rest of the cleaning dormitories, classrooms, and punishment for minor violations of school rules in general, or maintaining the daily order of the school, are the responsibility of the students themselves. If the school wants to organize non-routine activities, the students themselves are also responsible. ”

"Naturally, even though there are only about 30 students, it is impossible to manage it in a disorderly manner, so I want to set up a student council in this school, and most of the things in the school are managed by the students themselves. The members of the student union are collectively referred to as cadres, and are elected by the students themselves, similar to the original Confucian election of village residents, and the term of office of each cadre is tentatively set at half a year, and the election is re-elected after half a year. ”

At the same time, if something more serious happens, such as finding out that the student union cadres are bending the law for personal gain, they can also be temporarily elected for mid-term. If the remaining term of office is less than two months, the person elected in the mid-term election shall be automatically re-elected for the next term, unless he or she so wishes; If it is more than two months, it will serve only for the remainder of the term. ”

"If it is necessary to hire someone from outside the university or to buy something, the student union can buy and hire it on its own without the permission of the Vice Chancellor or the Registrar, but the Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar must inform the Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar. In addition to the tuition fee, all students are required to pay the student union dues, which are controlled by the student union, and the purchases are also paid from them. However, every expenditure must be accounted for, and each student union member must ensure that the accounts are consistent with the facts before leaving office. ”

"Like the Student Council, each class has a class leader, who is also elected by the students of the class, and works with the Student Council to assist the Vice Principal and the Secretary of the School in managing the school. There are only about 30 students in this level, so it is divided into two classes for the time being. If there are more students in the future, one or two more classes will be added. ”

The rules and regulations of the Five Cities School established by Yunxi are completely in accordance with the schools of modern Western countries. Not much else, the core idea is that students manage themselves and de-administrative.

In later generations, China's universities were basically administrative, but they failed to cultivate many talents, while universities in the Republic of China period cultivated many talents. Yun Xi was actually not satisfied with the universities in the Republic of China, because ninety percent of college students were liberal arts students, what was the situation at that time? It is the weakest and most miserable era of being bullied in China, and it is useful to train a bunch of liberal arts students! In Yunxi's view, ten liberal arts students in those days were not as useful as one engineering student who could guide the factory in the production of munitions.

But this is a problem of Chinese educational thinking, and the board should not be hit on students; Simply comparing the level of liberal arts college students in the Republic of China and the liberal arts students in later generations, the students of the Republic of China are far exceeded.

The universities of the Republic of China are basically de-administrative, and the same is true of foreign first-class universities, so of course Yunxi must be de-administrative.

The student management committee set up by Yun Xi in Guozijian was not administrative, because all the personnel of the student management committee were appointed by Kim Sun, not by students, and in essence, they were just using unpaid labor. However, Yun Xi does not think that places like Guozijian need to be de-administrative. Guozijian is a place to train officials, and it is not a real school in essence, similar to a 'civil service examination training course', and in the future, you will also have to serve as an administrative official in the imperial court, and there is no need to de-administrative.

Yun Xi said a few more words and said to Chen Ji: "Chen Qing, do you have any doubts to ask me?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are only more than 30 students now, that is, the establishment of a student union and the establishment of a class president in the class, is it too much?" Chen Ji said.

Although he was a little skeptical that these twelve or thirteen-year-old children would be able to do things well, he was generally supportive of Yun Hee's idea. Confucianism is against the imperial examination system, and the great Confucians of all dynasties have put forward the idea of abolishing the imperial examination system, and Zhu Xi, a contributor to the standard answers of the imperial examination in the Ming and Qing dynasties in history, is even more fierce critic of the imperial examination system, saying that the reason why the Great Song Dynasty lost the north is because of the imperial examination system.

Confucianism advocates the selection of the local people as officials in a place, which is exactly the same way that Yun Xi Shicai said that the student union officials and class leaders are elected. Therefore, Chen Ji naturally will not oppose the election.

However, there are only more than 30 students, and the establishment of so many student cadres will naturally feel that it is too much and raise objections.

"Haha, Chen Qing, I didn't mean that I would set up these many student cadres now. I just said that the school is set for six years, and in the future, there will naturally be six classes of students studying in the Five Cities Academy at the same time, even if there are only more than 30 students in each class, there are more than 200 students in the sixth class, and many student cadres should be set up at that time. At present, there is only one class of students, and in my opinion, it is enough to set up a class leader, and the student union will have two or three cadres. ”

"But after all, this is the first time I have set up such a school, I don't know how many student union cadres there should be, let's wait for Aiqing to arrive at the Five Cities Academy."

After Yun Xi finished saying this question, his words changed: "Chen Qing, what do you think is the management method of this school I set up?" ”

"Very good!" Chen Ji said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, if the officials of the whole country can be appointed like this, then the world will definitely be under great rule!" ”

"Huh." Yun Xi smiled. It's hard to say whether the world is governed by great governance, but the end of the Ming Dynasty is certain. The officials are elected by the local people themselves, and this kind of operation can be done by the industrial countries, because the industrial and commercial capitalists of the whole country have relatively large common interests, and they will maintain the continued existence of the country. But agricultural countries are so purely brain-dead, unless the total population and area of a country are less than one county.

This Chen Ji himself knows, in fact, the great Confucians of all dynasties also know, so the great Confucians of all dynasties, represented by Zhu Xi, advocated the restoration of the nine-grade Zhongzheng system in the Wei and Jin dynasties. So Chen Ji just said that.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has a question," Chen Ji also changed the topic: "Your Majesty said that 'all students need to pay student union dues in addition to tuition fees', what does Your Majesty mean that students in this school have to pay tuition fees?" ”

"That's true."

"Your Majesty, why did you let them pay the tuition? Schools set up by the imperial court, such as Guozijian and Jiangwutang, did not require students to pay tuition. Chen Ji continued to ask.

Ke Yunxi's answer was greatly unexpected by him. "Chen Qing, when did I say that the Five Cities Academy was a school set up by the imperial court?"

"Your Majesty, this, this school was set up by Your Majesty, how can it not be a school of the imperial court?"

"The Royal Academy is also a school set up by me, but it is a school of the imperial court?"

"How can the Five Cities Academy be compared to the Royal Academy?"

"Why can't they be compared? Oh, there is something I forgot to tell you, after that, I will send some of the children of the Royal Academy to this school to study, the students in charge of you are not more than thirty, I roughly nodded, this class will increase by more than ten people, the total number of students will be nearly fifty. ”

"Why did Your Majesty send some of the children of the clan to study in the Five Cities Academy?" Chen Ji was even more surprised.

This question Yun Xi answered Yun Xi and the others clearly last night, but he couldn't tell Chen Ji too directly, so he could only say it carefully.

Fortunately, this reason is not as sensitive as the previous explanation of why only the children of the nobles are recruited, although it can't be too straightforward, but it can be said, so Chen Ji understood, skipped this topic, and asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you make the Five Cities Academy a school of the imperial court?" ”
