Chapter 181: Don't be blind
Early in the morning, Yang Lin rushed to the school in a carriage, and the people who went with him included Qian Bangxin, the prefect Fan Wenguang, Senator Xu Kongtu, and Zhao Sixuan, and everyone was beaming.
Seeing everyone lined up, like an army formation, Qian Bangqian frowned and asked, "My lord, this, how is this a bit like a military camp?" ”
With a smile on his face, Yang Lin nodded and said: "Of course, from ancient times to the present, everyone has paid attention to civil and military all-rounders, you see that today's society is full of exclusion of soldiers.
Say that a good man is not a soldier, and he is not a nail, so I have been a Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years before the Tartars invaded for Mongolia and Jiannu, so that the rogue is rampant.
I want to change this status quo and cultivate all-round talents in the future.
Although there are not many students who have been selected as a jinshi, in the face of domestic slaves and rogues, they can become qualified soldiers with a little training. ”
Qian Bangqi frowned, quite unimpressed in his heart. Since ancient times, everything has been inferior, but the study is high, and the school is a noble thing, how can adults compare it with the army?
When he was young, he boasted of cultivating and reading, and after becoming an official, he was proud of being an official and teaching, and Qian Bangqi and other officials who regarded teaching and learning as sacred, initially brightened their eyes after hearing the idea of running a school in a centralized manner, and secretly sighed why they didn't think of such a great idea.
In the middle and back pages of the Ming Dynasty, the number of people in each prefecture and city is more than 10,000 people, and the county seat is also more than 1,000 people.
Just like the current private tutors, or public classes opened by famous teachers, some private school teachers and students have only more than ten students, some have just read and hyphenation, and some are ready to participate in the imperial examination.
Now, all private schools will be combined to open public schools, which will not only reduce the waste of teachers, but also allow students with the same academic performance to review each other.
Some people sighed repeatedly, in the past, no one thought about merging these private schools to create any colleges, after the Song and Ming dynasties, students from all over the country blossomed, but everyone was powerless.
In the feudal dynasties, the rulers did not want to build anywhere, but to collect taxes to the imperial court, and even the officials had to raise money for the construction of any government offices.
Especially in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, many local governors repeatedly asked Qianlong to leave a little savings, or regularly allocated funds to renovate the government office (in ancient times, digging houses needed to be repaired regularly) and were reprimanded.
In addition to not wanting to leave a good reputation in the local area, these foreign officials probably have no other way to raise funds through apportionment, fundraising, etc.
Since the crossing, although the amount of land and Ding Fu has been sharply reduced, the area of private cultivated land has increased greatly after the land re-measurement, and the actual reduction is limited.
In addition, Yang Lin actively explored tax sources, retracted the past gentry and ruffian business contracting system, and changed it to the newly established township office to directly collect it.
Taxes on mining and personal income are levied, and income is levied on large landowners whose land rent exceeds 200 quintals, or large merchants whose personal income exceeds 200 taels of silver.
In this way, even if there is a shortage of war now, the place is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
What is more important is to realize the sharing method, and 20% of the tax collected by the local government will be at the disposal of the state and county government offices, so that the local government can set up education if it has money.
At the inauguration ceremony, Qian Bangqi and others were full of red light and talked eloquently at the ceremony?
Although the Four Books and the Five Classics are not taught much in public schools now, in the past few years, students have been able to read and write and hyphenate, know how to count and calculate abacus, and no longer be blind and blind, nor are they deceived by officials and profiteers.
Why is there heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below? As a native of western Zhejiang, Qian Bangqi has a lot to say, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, rich or poor, children are mostly sent to private schools to study, and after the age of twelve or thirteen, if the academic examination is still acceptable, continue to study in school. If his studies are average, he will be sent to the shop as an apprentice, or he will learn a trade from a teacher.
Some people say that public schools do not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and teach some vernacular all day long, but these people actually don't understand the deep meaning of adults.
The meaning of adults is to let everyone know and hyphenate first, if it is really possible to create it, you can continue to study.
At this moment, Qian Bangqi's eyes were full of pride, as if he really understood the adult.
Although some people disagree, how can public school education be so superficial and win the imperial examination in the future?
But most of the traders, and the general public, don't see it that way. In the middle of the people, that is the stars in the sky and descends to earth, and that is the smoke of the ancestral tomb.
He is also a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, and he has not done anything bad, but the stars in the sky are so easy to descend to earth?
At the inauguration ceremony, Yang Lin talked boastfully, starting from his own background.
During the Wanli period, the ancestors were bullied by the officials, and they were frugal and hired private school teachers with the clansmen to teach their children to read and write.
During the Apocalypse, the officials in the township took advantage of the robbery, and the people who were literate and able to speak could accuse them of indiscriminate apportionment, and led the villagers to resist donations.
Since he was born, his parents have been raised with hard work, and they have eaten hundreds of meals in order to study (in ancient times, some children with excellent studies often asked the villagers for travel expenses in order to go out to study or participate in the township examination. When I was young, I also heard people mention that the clan went out to study, and that one grew up eating hundreds of family meals). After winning Xiucai, he was even more fearless of power, resisted the government's expropriation and tyranny, and was imprisoned twice and was unswerving.
Due to the thrift of the ancestors and hired private school teachers, although there have been no big names in the clan in the past 100 years, most of them have settled down and started a business. Even if the elders who have studied in private schools come out to learn a trade, they have flexible brains, learn better than others, and have enough food and clothing in the local area.
This can be said to be in everyone's hearts, not to mention a paragraph, everyone applauded loudly, and some even shouted Lord Qingtian.
What ordinary people want is food and clothing, what ordinary people ask for is peace, and what ordinary people want is to read and hyphenate and not be bullied by the officials and gentry. (Zhu De's reading explanation in the textbook).
Compared with the past, when private school teachers had to be hired and money had to be given during the New Year's holidays, the public school buildings were repaired at the expense of the local gentry, and the teachers' salaries were uniformly paid by the yamen.
Seeing everyone like this, Yang Lin was also quite excited, and took the lead in swearing to everyone: study hard and don't be blind.
The whole mountain temple was thunderous, many people knelt down and shouted to the old man of the sunny day, and some officials and gentry were in tears and were very excited.
If there were still some people in the past who believed that political opponents attacked the New Deal (although it was superficially light, but in fact it collected twice as much money and food as before), then now everyone truly believes that the New Deal has indeed reformed the bad habits of the old days and truly benefited the people.
