Chapter 180: Public Academy
There is an ancient Chinese saying that people go to tea and cool, people go to politics, in history, pay attention to the three fires of new officials, many sages to implement a lot of good governance, but in the end it is inevitable that people will go to politics.
How to avoid the tragedy of people going to politics, it is necessary to cultivate corresponding forces, and if it has become a trend, even if a new official takes office, he will not dare to completely abolish it.
In history, although the King of Qin killed Shang Ying, he did not dare to abandon the law of Shang Jun.
Since the crossing, since the implementation of many new policies, Yang Lin has been dedicated to cultivating supporters of the new policies.
For example, although the establishment of the township office damaged the interests of the local gentry, it not only solved the problem of many scholars becoming officials, solved the problem of retired meritorious soldiers, but also increased the income of thousands of taels of silver in each county.
For example, the collection of customs endowments, mining endowments, and income endowments, while bringing a steady stream of fiscal revenue, implements the sharing method, and the more the local government does, the more it shares, unlike the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether the tax is collected or not, no matter how much is collected, anyway, I have a lot of money.
With all these new policies that can bring many benefits to everyone, even if the rulers leave, probably the new policies will not leave the government.
In order to avoid the tragedy of Shang Jun in the future, the most important thing is to gain support in public opinion, and to wash up slogans in the countryside, the main purpose of opening the "Popular Daily" is this, and the same is true for running public schools.
More than ten days later, the public Jialing School opened, giving people the impression of a bit of a rebellion.
Shunqing Mansion City Nanchong is located at the confluence of the Jialing River and its tributary Xichong River, so that the southeast and west sides of the river are bordered by the river, and the north is connected with the land.
Shunqing Mansion has always been an important political, economic, cultural and military town in northern Sichuan, its scale is far from being comparable to the general city, although it presents an irregular trapezoidal shape, but the area is six square kilometers, and the inhabitants are more than 10,000 people, if you add the number of people in a radius of ten miles outside the city, it is more.
The official eunuchs in the city, the wealthy families often invited the children of the private school clan, and some well-known teachers also opened their own libraries to teach.
The children of wealthy families of official eunuchs go to private schools to study, and many craftsmen, small businessmen, and slaves also try their best to send their children to study in private schools.
Now even if the world is in turmoil, there are dozens of private school teachers teaching in Chengguang, Shunqing Prefecture, so it can be seen that education was developed in the late Ming Dynasty (some people record that the children of peasant families in the Jiangnan area also went to private schools to study, and those who could be created continued to study until they were thirteen or fourteen years old, and ordinary people went out to do apprenticeships to learn a craft).
Senator Xu Kongtu was in charge of preparing for education, and he was a mess at first, but now he is doing things in a good way.
As Yang Lin said, the three things of education will be half the result as long as they are done well.
The first is to choose a school, and now many of the temples in the city are deserted, so the four of the temples are merged, and one of the larger temples is selected as the school place, and the guest seats are purchased, so that the school is established.
The second is to look for teachers, before passing the government examination before and after the selection of more than 100 teachers, although the number of people in the huge Shunqing Mansion is still a little small, but at least a few schools can be opened.
In the past, private school education generally took 1-3 years to read and hyphenate the three-character scripture and the thousand-character scripture.
After that, he familiarized himself with the Four Books and the Five Classics
Then practice according to the imperial examination, including pasting scriptures, Moyi, asking questions, and poems and songs.
In the end, I didn't play the imperial examinations year after year.
Of course, Yang Lin did not want to go back to the old path of the imperial examination system in the past, but combined with the education system of his previous life, of course, more attention was paid to the application ability of students.
However, just like Deng Gong's reform, it is necessary to pay attention to the flow of water, and cannot say one's goals from the beginning.
In order to gain everyone's support, Yang Lin used the excuse of teaching everyone to read and hyphenation, first establishing a public primary school, and then a middle school when the time is ripe.
After a few months of careful study, if the education in the previous life is to be compared with the education of the ancient private school, this is probably the case:
Grades 1-3 include courses such as Chinese language, arithmetic, physical education, singing, etc., just like the enlightenment education of private schools, a small number of people can recite the Three Character Sutra and the Thousand Character Sutra.
The Mandarin language mainly cultivates students' ability to read and form sentences by imparting the most basic political knowledge.
Arithmetic mainly cultivates students' ability to simply add, subtract, multiply and divide.
Physical education and music are not included in the assessment, and queue training and simple choral training are mainly carried out.
Years 3-5 include Chinese language, arithmetic, physical education, singing, history and geography, just like the enlightenment stage of private school education, after completing 5 years of education, the vast majority of students can read and recite the three-character classic and the thousand-character classic.
The Chinese language includes some easy-to-understand poems and songs, as well as excerpts from novels, which mainly cultivate students' daily writing ability.
Arithmetic includes everyday mathematical applications, with knowledge of geometry.
History and geography are mainly introduced.
After that, it will be junior high school education, high school education, and it will take several years to take into account everyone's ability to accept it, but the master plan is:
6-8 years includes knowledge of Chinese language, arithmetic, physical education, singing, history and geography, and physics.
The Chinese language includes excerpts from some famous writers and novels, which mainly cultivate students' complex collaboration skills.
Arithmetic includes more complex mathematical applications, as well as knowledge of geometry.
History involves a brief introduction to the major dynasties
More important is physics knowledge, which mainly introduces the experience and common sense summarized in the process of life.
According to the imperial examination system, after completing junior high school, you can probably learn a little and prepare to take the imperial examination (county examination)
9-11 years still include Chinese language, arithmetic, physical education, singing, history and geography, and physics knowledge, but the knowledge is more complex, professional, and those who complete their studies are probably at the same level as Xiucai during the imperial examination.
Although the idea is clear, it is even more difficult to come up with such a textbook in a short period of time.
In order to cultivate a new type of force to support social innovation, these down-and-out students were specially convened to review the textbooks, and a set of elementary school textbooks was finally developed two months later.
Although some people complained that this textbook was too simple, as explained to Xu Kongtu, after reading primary school, his language ability was only a three-character scripture with a hundred family names.
But unlike those nerds, after completing primary school, students have mastered a certain amount of mathematical knowledge and are no longer blind in society.
Although most families hope that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes, but the Chinese people are very realistic, and everyone also knows that it is very rare to really take the examination to show off talents and raise people, although some people complain that the knowledge of this public school is too simple, but at least they can read and write, and they will not become blind in society.
What's more important is that you don't need to ask your father to tell your grandmother for your children to go to school, now there is a public school, you only need to pay four or five dollars of silver to go to school for a year, and the cost during the period is much less than in the past to go to private school (there are fewer students in private school, although large families have to pay a bride price, but every year, or when the school starts every year, you need to give a gift to the teacher. )
Now hearing the opening of the public school, the entire Shunqing Fucheng scholars were all alarmed, and early this morning, everyone came to the Jialing School - the location of the original Ganlu Temple to watch the ceremony.
After four months of operation, the school was renovated, and after the removal of several Bodhisattva statues, the monastery was renovated and now has more than 10 classrooms.
According to the different academic stages of the students, the students are divided into five age groups, the oldest is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest is only six or seven years old.
