Chapter 468: The Public School System
"Let me ask you, what should be the importance of the enlightenment schools placed in the townships of Daqin?"
Lin Yuyan asked in one sentence, in fact, this time it was not a set, it seems that the enlightenment school is more to let the children of the countryside know the words of the Qin State, learn simple mathematical operations, and then know some of the basic laws of the Great Qin, and finally inform the children of the countryside about the national policies and news of the countries that the Great Qin government allows them to know.
In this way, it is already clear that the original "Shuowen Jiezi" promoted by the Great Qin government and the simplified version of the current "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" are to be listed in the subjects taught in the public school.
Before, Han Kui wanted to set up officials in Great Qin to promote the rule of law, so that the Qin people knew the law and abided by the law, because it was really costly, and the effect was minimal, so Han Kui would give up at this time.
When Han Kui learned about the public school system established by Lin Yuyan in the township of Daqin, he also let Han Kui know that if it was in the public school, the implementation of the rule of law for the children of the countryside would undoubtedly make the law of Daqin shackled on the hearts of these children of Daqin.
"Shuowen Jie Zi", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "The Laws of the Great Qin" naturally fell into the compulsory subjects of the Qin State's public school education and enlightenment.
When Gu Liangqiu saw such an arrangement, he also frowned slightly, and immediately said to Lin Yuyan: "Your Highness, the children of the countryside are undecided, and they should teach the Analects to know what justice is and what is treacherous ......."
Hearing this, Lin Yuyan had some hesitation, although Confucianism does have a non-negligible role in persuading people to be good, but it also has the drawbacks that Lin Yuyan had to consider, that is, it is detrimental to the bloody nature of the people of Daqin who are not afraid of death.
The Qin people are brave and well-known all over the world, but the golden mean revealed by the Confucian classics is easy to make the Qin people greedy for life and afraid of death, and love the quirks of vanity.
Look at Zheng Guo again, those scholars and doctors who advocate Confucianism are only empty talk, and Zheng Guo's great rivers and mountains have been buried in the wind and snow!
Therefore, today's Confucianism does not want to change, Lin Yuyan can only use Confucianism as a teacher to teach knowledge in rural public schools, and even if these Confucian scholars are appointed in the future, Lin Yuyan will also explicitly prohibit these Confucian scholars from secretly teaching Confucianism to the children of the countryside.
Therefore, after weighing for a while, Lin Yuyan finally gave Gu Liangqiu a clear reply, that is, he rejected Gu Liangqiu's proposal to select the Confucian classic "Analects" into the professor system of the Great Qin Public School, but then Lin Yuyan also followed Gu Liangqiu's proposal and said the transition stage between the Great Qin Public School and the Nanyang Academy.
That is, the Daqin Public School recruits ten-year-old children in the township every year to enroll, for a three-year public school education, and then selects its outstanding performance, and enters the Nanyang School Palace for further study, as for how to select, Lin Yuyan abandoned the "township sage recommendation" proposed by a group of scholars, but the "county test" system proposed by himself.
What is the county test?
Lin explained: "Every winter, two months after the agricultural work stops. It will be in the county administration where each county under Daqin is located, and an examination room will be opened up for the children of public schools to take an examination similar to the Great Qin Recruitment Examination, so as to select the best academically......"
Gu Liangqiu also frowned, this move was indeed completely educated, but Gu Liangqiu was also considerate, and he also looked at Lin Yuyan at the moment, and asked, "Is Your Highness's move inappropriate?" Emphasizing talent rather than morality, in case the selected scholars are unscrupulous, it will be a greater threat to Daqin! ”
Lin Yuyan looked at Gu Liangqiu and knew the theory that he had always adhered to in his heart that "the Analects can cure virtue", but Lin Yuyan smiled and said: "If Confucianism can't cure hypocrites with unscrupulous intentions, my laws of Daqin will not be soft, so as to deter treachery, and if you can still do things that are evil, Daqin's laws will naturally not be soft!" ”
"This ......" Gu Liangqiu was speechless.
Gongsun Jiao on the side shook his head with a smile, looking at Lin Yuyan, today, Gongsun Jiao discovered that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is indeed an appetite for Gongsun Jiao, and he didn't expect that after the death of the country, he would still be able to meet this virtuous lord in a foreign country, and most importantly, this virtuous lord is still young, enough to support the germination and development of a new school.
Coincidentally, in the heart of Gongsun Li, who is over sixty years old, there is also a prototype of a new school that is still in its infancy.
"Your Highness doesn't seem to have talked about Nanyang Academy yet?"
What made Lin Yuyan very happy was that Gongsun Yan also smiled at Lin Yuyan and gradually drew out what he thought in his heart, Lin Yuyan turned his head and glanced at Gongsun Yan, then nodded and said: "As for the Nanyang School Palace, you might as well set up a pulpit for each school for the time being, as for the size of the place, you naturally don't have to worry, the selected children are also the best of the children of each county under Daqin, but as for how many children each school can attract, it is by virtue of their own abilities......"
"Of course, the sons of the hundred families don't have to worry, all the children who can pass the county test and enter the Nanyang School Palace, all the supplies are provided by the Great Qin Mansion, and just like the Qin officials, there is a fixed amount of money and food supply every year.
"Of course, the Great Qin Public School is also the lecturer of the Nanyang School Palace, and the official in charge of local education in the Great Qin, and he also has a supply of money, and the last of them is also an annual salary with fifty stones of grain, and the lecturers of the Nanyang School Palace are also starting from a hundred stones."
Lin Yuyan threw out all kinds of favorable conditions, which also made the scholars under the seat excited, originally those Zheng Di scholars still wanted to provoke and use the Qin people to crusade against Korea, or take the opportunity to recover Zheng State, but now these scholars found that when Great Qin had a better way, the mind of crusading against Han was understandably weaker.
At present, many Zheng Di scholars have become active in the Qin State School system proposed by Qin Gongzi Yingyan.
On the other side, Gongsun Jiao also glanced at the Guliang Hill on the other side, for the current situation, Gongsun Jiao thinks that it is naturally better, and it is already the best situation that Gongsun Jiao has ever imagined to be able to maintain the current state with this friend for many years.
It's just that this situation is not from the tolerance of this old friend for many years, but the reconciliation of the Qin Gongzi Ying Yan in front of him.
Gongsun Jiao finally nodded, let his disciple Zheng Lun support him, walked in front of Lin Yuyan, and saluted respectfully: "Your Highness is open-minded and encompasses the four seas, thinking that he will definitely be the lord of Qin in the Central Plains one day, Zheng Dishi is willing to help Qin, but also for the sake of the death of Han!" ”
