The New Year passed quickly, and the emperor and officials of the Tang Dynasty officially went to work.

In the Liangyi Palace, Li Er and Li Chengqian's father and son were discussing a matter.

"Cheng Qian, I have already said that if you want to build a so-called school, I still need to think about it!" Li Er said.

Datang has its own education system, and if it builds a school as described by Li Chengqian, it will inevitably cause chaos in the original education system.

It is inevitable that there will be no chaos, and now that Datang is preparing for the Eastern Crusade, he doesn't want to see any mistakes at this juncture!

"Father! Erchen has told you many times that building a school will benefit and harmless! Datang will only be more prosperous!" Li Chengqian said that as early as the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, he repeatedly proposed to Li Er the establishment of a school.

It's just that Li Er has been playing sloppy with him, and he has been asking him to wait, and this time he has to make Li Er agree to run a school no matter what.

Now they are able to read and write, and they are basically in the hands of the big families, who hold private schools in the form of families and disciples.

The teachers are all disciples and disciples within their families, but it is difficult for the children of the poor family to study.

Cultural knowledge is in the hands of the big families, so the so-called scholars are formed, and the time is over, and the scholars will sooner or later become a hidden danger to the imperial court, and they hold high positions and block the way for the promotion of the children of the poor family.

If you want to suppress or even replace the scholars well, you must let more children of the poor family have a path to promotion.

The imperial examination system is the best example, the imperial examination system for thousands of years, which eventually led to the extinction of the scholars, largely because the children of the poor families were promoted.

The Shi clan disappeared from the historical stage at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and if the Shi clan gate valve was eliminated at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, more people must be able to study.

As long as you can read, you can open up the wisdom of more people.

As a traverser, Li Chengqian knows the importance of enlightenment!

If you want more people to study, you must run a school, starting from elementary school, setting up elementary school, middle school, and university!

Li Chengqian plans to run a public school in Datang so that more people can come to the school to study.

"It's not that I don't know what you said, but if you want to build schools all over the territory of Datang all at once, the local financial revenue can't support it at all, such a huge teaching problem." Li Erdao.

Li Er also understands that if you want to balance and eliminate the scholar clan, you must let the children of the poor family get a way to be promoted, but the question is where to get so much money and what school to run at the moment.

Datang's finances are spending every day, and there are still many places to use money, and there is no way to allocate a part of the budget to run the school.

"You don't have to worry about that, Father! As long as my father promises me the right to handle the school, I can solve the money matter by myself!"

"Moreover, I did not open a school in the entire territory of Datang all at once, but used it as an experimental site around Chang'an, and when the time comes, if I can, I will promote it to the whole country." Li Chengqian said.

It is not too difficult to make money, Li Chengqian already has the idea of making money in his heart, and the top priority now is whether he can get the right to set up a school from Li Chengqian.

Only with Li Er's approval can he let the Ministry of Industry build a school for him, otherwise, there is really no way to let the Ministry of Industry work.

Li Er thought about it, but still didn't agree to Li Chengqian, and said: "There's no need to worry about this matter, Rong Zhen and Wuji will discuss it, you go back and write an excerpt first." ”

"Father! Don't miss the opportunity! If Datang wants to be more prosperous, it must build schools, so that more people can master knowledge, so that they can do their best for Datang, and the rich country and strong soldiers must start from the baby!" Li Chengqian tried his best to persuade Li Er.

Seeing that Li Er was still hesitating, Li Chengqian continued: "As long as my father gives me a few years, I will be able to experiment with whether this method can work. ”

"I can also guarantee that I will never touch a piece of money in the Datang treasury, and I will ask my father for permission!"

"Well, depending on your time, I can say that in the past, I don't want to ask about the establishment of a school, and I don't want to take a penny from the treasury." Li Er finally compromised, it was rare for the prince to be hot, so let him try.

Only after experiencing defeat can he recognize the facts, and it is better not to dampen his enthusiasm now.

"Thank you, Father! I can take care of the money, if there is nothing to do, the son will retire first! Li Chengqian was overjoyed and saluted.

Li Er said: "Don't worry, I ask you, have you thought about where to experiment with your so-called school?" ”

"These, Erchen has already thought about it! Universities were set up in Chang'an and Luoyang, middle schools were set up in the prefectures, and primary schools were set up in the counties. Li Chengqian said.

"You've got to conceive it well! Tell us what you think about it, and how do you plan to do it? Li Er asked.

"I plan to let the children who are five years old and stay in primary school go to primary school, and set up a preschool in the primary school, so that these children can start in the preschool class."

"Then, after going from preschool to primary school, I can go on to ......middle school after six years of systematic education," Li Chengqian told Li Er in detail about the general situation of further education.

In ancient times, children entered school between the ages of 8 and 15, and there was no clear demarcation, which led to the fact that the knowledge that could be mastered was not at the same level.

The quality of the students is uneven!

Therefore, Li Chengqian's first step is to unify the age groups of school, so that everyone can be on the same starting line.

As for whether you can succeed in learning, it depends on everyone's talent and hard work.

As for the criteria for further education, it can be passed through the examination to screen some poor students, so that more outstanding students can live the development space.

After talking about the school system, we should talk about the content subjects taught in the school, except for the four books and the five classics and other Confucian scriptures and other formal subjects.

The school also teaches students how to make a living so that they can find a way to earn a living in the future.

In this way, it will be more beneficial to the rule of the empire, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the Tang Dynasty will naturally prosper.

"That's a good way to do that! You can give it a try, so have you chosen which state or county to set up middle schools and primary schools? After listening to Li Chengqian's explanation, Li Er asked.

"I've already thought of this! I set up a school in the state and county where the Zhichong Mansion is located in my East Palace, so that it is easy to manage. Li Chengqian said.

After talking about the problem of teaching, the next thing is to choose the site for the construction of the school, Li Chengqian has already thought about setting up a school in the prefecture and county where the Zhichong Mansion is located under the East Palace, which will also facilitate him to directly manage these schools in the future.

"Now that you've thought of everything, I won't say anything! See for yourself! Li Erdao.

"Thank you, Father! Son's resignation!" Li Chengqian took a few steps back and turned to leave the Liangyi Palace.
