Chapter 314: Education
Those who do great things, how can they do it without carrying some infamy.
All reformers were scolded by the literati very unbearably.
There have been Shang Ying and Chao mistakes in this plane, Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng, who are most likely not in this plane, and even those generations of heroes who are in the situation of great changes unseen in 5,000 years, not only bear the infamy of the ages, but even have to pay a huge price of bloodshed and sacrifice.
So, what's there to be afraid of just being scolded for a few words?
Xu Shiyang actually likes Confucianism, and there is indeed some relative progress in it.
However, after so many years of transformation, Confucianism is no longer the Confucianism of the master, and it even has a tendency to change to Confucianism, and has gradually become a tool for fooling the people.
If you want to open the wisdom of the people, one day in the future, Xu Shiyang will definitely have a general showdown with this dull rotten zombie.
Or force them to deeply transform themselves and keep up with the pace of development, or directly destroy them.
In other words, if you don't follow Xu Shiyang, then go underground and follow the master directly!
I'm just getting there now.
Just wait!
……
Xu Muhe scolded Xu Shiyang severely.
However, this is useless, Xu Shiyang holds the military power and most of the financial power, he is the real core figure of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the Dadu Governor is more like a leader tablet, and there is actually no good way to take Xu Shiyang.
Of course, there is still a need to do the face-saving thing.
Xu Shiyang was "heavily fined" for five years, and then thought about it behind closed doors for half a year.
He readily agreed—he had never received such a thing as a salary, and his personal use came entirely from his own shares in the factories and the sea trade.
As for thinking about ......it behind closed doors, well, as soon as he left Quancheng, he immediately forgot about it.
If you are so busy at work, how can you take a big vacation for half a year in a row?
punished Xu Shiyang, as his father and nominal boss, Xu Muhe, the governor of Qi Province, also had to set some examples for the world:
First go to the empty mansion of the Holy Father, weep bitterly in the temple of the saint, and then leave a "letter of sin" sprinkled with thousands of words like repentance.
However, even Xu Muhe didn't think of getting Feng Sheng Gong and his people back.
In this way, Qufu Fengshenggong family was regarded as an educated youth by Xu Shiyang, and was forcibly dispersed in the most barren mountainous villages in Quanqi Province as a volunteer teacher.
……
Of course, such a terrifying thing as copying the saint's house will not pass so easily.
The news spread all over the world, and it can be said that the whole world was shocked.
Jiangnan Shilin was boiling, and countless scholars scolded the Xu family in Qi Province, and even Xu Shiliu and Xu Shisong suffered a lot.
However, in the midst of the scolding, some people felt that what Xu Shiyang did was not wrong.
The reason is very simple, the Fengsheng Mansion was not occupied by the Xu family, and those big mansions have been transformed into official schools for scholars in Qi Province to study.
Moreover, Feng Sheng Gong and his family also went to teach the students, although they were all given some poor and remote places, and they were completely illiterate who could not read a basket of words, but education is education.
The Governor's Office of Qi Province did not say that it did not respect Confucianism and the Way of the Sage.
On the contrary, the Governor's Office seems to be more practical.
Jiangnan Shilin was vaguely divided into two factions because of the affairs of Qi Province.
One of them supported the practice of the Qi Provincial Governor's Office having no class of religion, believing that it was more in line with the Way of the Sage.
The other faction is to drench the blood of the dog scolded by the Governor of Qi Province, and they can't wait to eat Xu Shiyang's flesh and sleep on Xu Shiyang's skin.
This kind of dispute will cause a violent ideological upheaval in the future, and its impact will be deep for hundreds of years.
Of course, this is a later story, so let's not mention it for the time being.
……
No matter how much ideological chaos occurred in Jiangnan, it would not be able to affect the Qi Province for the time being.
After doing something big enough to shake the world, Xu Shiyang naturally wants to enjoy the fruits of his labor as much as possible:
After the Fengshenggong family was assigned to the Qi people, other strong people in Qi Province who were still resisting bowed their heads, and before the end of the fourteenth year of Jianxing, the last strong family in Qi Province completed the work of the people of Qi Province.
Together with the tenants of the Fengsheng Prince's family, Qi Province gained a population of nearly 200,000, making the number of registered governors quickly climb to 1.5 million.
The Governor's Mansion copied out about 200,000 stone of various grains, more than 3,000 draft animals, 20,000 pigs and sheep, and 100,000 poultry from the house of Feng Shenggong.
There are more than 5,000 pieces of silk, 20,000 pieces of miscellaneous cloth, gold and silver treasures, various antique calligraphy and paintings, jade and precious stones, with a total value of not less than 500,000 yuan.
There are also cultivated land and countless houses.
These riches once again enriched the treasury of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and they were also an important reason why Xu Muhe pinched his nose and accepted Xu Shiyang's actions.
Of course, according to Xu Shiyang's plan, the Fengsheng Mansion will be transformed into the "Fengsheng Academy", which will be the first university in the modern sense of the word in Qi Province.
In order to avoid teaching some corrupt Confucianism, Xu Shiyang asked Xu Muhe to be the first person to be the head of the "Fengsheng Academy", and he himself took on the position of a "teaching director" who sounded a little nondescript to others.
Xu Shiyang personally inspected the original collection of Fengshenggongfu, and only retained some of the Confucian classics and history books as future Chinese textbooks.
This part, in the education of the future college, accounts for only 20% at most. According to Xu Shiyang's idea, the rest of the part will be filled by science parts such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry, political education, and practical education.
Of course, at the level of Xu Shiyang's pre-ordinary books, compiling a complete modern university textbook is purely a fool's dream, but he has enough wealth to support the research and development of this school from scratch, from low to high.
All he needs is to be able to escort the new school and the new subject.
……
Education does not depend on one or two universities, but on basic education.
In addition to setting up the shelf of "Fengsheng Academy", Xu Shiyang also invested a large amount of resources to carry out basic education.
Of course, he can't even let the children under Qi Province take time off work to study.
However, he has the experience of "predecessors"!
The large-scale literacy work after the founding of the People's Republic of China has provided many methods for Xu Shiyang, who loves history, to learn from.
For example, the writing of phonetic pronunciation allows the illiterate to become literate more quickly; For example, the compilation of literacy picture albums to deepen people's impression of new words with pictures and texts; For example, writing literacy songs, slipping through the mouth, etc.
Xu Shiyang's approach is to carry out a comprehensive literacy campaign, but the way is not limited to sending rural teachers to teach directly and opening schools, but also to cover and penetrate from as many angles as possible.
He did not have the strong grassroots policy enforcement policies of the TG, so the first phase of the literacy campaign was now carried out in the army, factories, and water conservancy construction teams, which emphasized more discipline.
Evening schools were established in the army and factory China, and generous material and moral rewards were given to those who excelled in their studies, and everyone was encouraged to study more in their spare time.
These people work in tandem with the small village schools that are gradually being built, so that in the future they can spread their knowledge to their families, friends, and neighbours, covering a larger area.
Xu Shiyang believes that in the absence of TG, it will take him about 50 or even 100 years to achieve the results that TG has achieved in ten years.
It is bound to be a long and painful process, but once achieved, the benefits that this nation can gain from it will be a treasure that will not be spent for thousands of years.
