Chapter 34 Changing the Concept of Reading

Li Gang took the book and left, and the content in it made Li Gang feel very novel, and the old man was chattering while walking.

In Mingjian's heart, there is an obvious educational policy that education is the magic weapon of a strong nation.

The compulsory education of later generations can be copied from the past, and the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty is so great, compulsory education can be completely supported.

It can't be popularized for nine years, but it's okay to get it for six years, right?

It's not easy to do it in the front, and the Jin soldiers will often come to fight the grass valley, and they have to do it in the south first.

Thinking of this, Ming Jian began to write again.

Education needs to be meticulous, from the resources of education to all kinds of software and hardware, it must be clear.

Of course, the first thing to do is to train the teachers of the Great Song Dynasty.

Ming Jian began to conduct experiments in the palace himself, and he decided to start with the royal children first.

A few days later, Ming Jian called the eunuch Zheng Guang and said, "Xiao Guangzi, convey this will to everyone in the palace, and let all those under the age of 18 come to me tomorrow to attend classes." Ming Jian said.

After Zheng Guang received the decree, he went to the palaces to convey the will of Ming Jian.

The next day, the nobles in the palace all came to the side hall of the Wude Hall - Wenhua Hall.

Looking at the small wooden table and small wooden stool, the nobles thought it was really strange. These guys are what Ming Jian has found to do these days, and now they are just coming in handy. From a distance, it looks like a proper modern social school, but the students are wearing ancient costumes.

Sitting at a table alone, Ming Jian looked at it, and there was still some vacancy. Simply the eunuchs went over and sat down, filling the empty seats.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now I will teach you a lesson myself! Today's lesson is called Geography! Does any of you know what geography means? Raise your hand to answer! Ming Jian smiled and began to lecture.

Zhao Chen raised his hand, and Ming Jian motioned for him to answer.

Zhao Chen said: "Father Qi, Erchen has read Shen Kuo's Mengxi Writings, in which, he has talked a lot about the landform and geology of the Great Song Dynasty, and Erchen believes that these should be geography. ”

"Well, the prince is right. However, Mengxi's pen talk only talked about part of it, and the real world should be more majestic and magnificent. Ming Jian began to speak.

"First of all, the place where we live is actually called the Earth! That's right, it's a ball! Ming Jian said.

In fact, human beings have known that the earth is a ball for a long time, and Aristotle's geocentric theory has elaborated the earth in great detail, and even extended to the universe.

Ming Jian won't talk too deeply, and will talk about the earth first.

This theory is very inconsistent with the traditional "heaven is round and the place is round".

"Father, there is something wrong with the son!"

Zhao Mingyue suddenly raised her hand and asked.

"Say it." Ming Jian said.

Zhao Mingyue said: "Father, since the earth you said is round, why don't we fall?" ”

"Haha, that's a good question!"

Ming Jian smiled.

"Obviously, there's a force that's pulling us in, so we're not going to fall out. This force is called gravitational pull of the earth! ”

Subsequently, Ming Jian began to explain the concept of the earth's gravity, its role and more, and this knowledge really aroused the interest of the nobles.

The cold outside the window was pressing, but inside the window, the atmosphere was warm, talking and talking, and the audience was discussing.

After this day ended, the nobles finally knew that the territory of the Great Song Dynasty was really a drop in the ocean, and compared to the earth and the universe, the Great Song Dynasty was too small.

After school, Zhao Chen stayed, and he said to Ming Jian: "Father, the son must take the ship that his father said in the future, see the world enough, see what Europe, Africa, America and Australia are like, and what the people there look like." ”

Ming Jian said with a smile: "The prince has a heart, I am very pleased, since I have decided to do this in the future, then I must immediately learn all kinds of theoretical knowledge, in addition to mastering geography, a strong body is also necessary, of course, it is not for you to use brute force to conquer, the method of advanced weapons, but also to master, in the future, Li Gang will teach you this knowledge, study hard, and then use it in practice, when the time comes, why are we afraid of the golden dog?" Liao dog? Western Xia barbarians? ”

Zhao Chen nodded, full of new understanding of the future for the first time, he originally thought that he would succeed Ming Jian as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, but now he thinks that exploring the world is a more interesting thing, if he can advance the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to the Mediterranean, then it is the first emperor of the ages.

The study of the palace has entered a very fanatical stage.

Outside the palace, Li Gang also began to enter the Tai Academy and began to give lectures.

Seeing Li Gang return to the court, the students were still very happy, they liked upright ministers like Li Gang, and hated Cai Jing and others.

"Students, from today onwards, the old man will be fully responsible for the education of the Great Song Dynasty, you are all the best among the students of the Great Song Dynasty, and you can be reused! The Son of Heaven has a fate, the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, and education comes first! Therefore, you will shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Li Gang is sensational as soon as he comes up, and he is very good at this.

Sure enough, the students immediately became enthusiastic, and one after another said that they wanted to become the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Gang stopped the discussion among the students and said: "The words of the Son of Heaven, the old man thinks so!" The Four Books and Five Classics that you have learned, if you really learn knowledge, it is also applicable! However, if it is used in life, it is not like that at all! We now want to open a new horizon and look at the world with new ideas, in the future, when we defeat the Golden Dog and the Xixia Dog, our Great Song Dynasty will still not stop moving forward! ”

"Master Li, you're right! It's a pity that the official family is too impulsive now, and they have abandoned the ancestral system, which is completely destroying the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty. Tai student Chen Gang expressed his indignation.

Li Gang shouted: "Shut up! How can the light of the fireflies be compared to the Son of Heaven Haoyue? What the Son of Heaven is doing now is a rare generosity in the world! In such an emergency, this is the only way to quickly turn things around! After pacifying the civil strife, and then conquest with the outside world, the strategy of the Son of Heaven is comparable to that of Emperor Taizu in the past! From today onwards, you can no longer talk about the faults of the Son of Heaven, and concentrate on studying the books taught by the Son of Heaven thoroughly, and in the future, you will be of great use! ”

Li Gang's burst of drinking startled Chen Gang, and everyone was also startled.

Subsequently, Li Gang began to distribute books, which were new books that he had printed with movable type printing after sorting them out.

One is called Chinese, one is called mathematics, physics and chemistry, one is called geography, and the other is called history.

The four books are very thick, but they make the book-loving students very excited.

"Wow, what a beautiful book! This is bound with cotton thread! ”

"Wow, this time the Son of Heaven really made a big move, it seems that he really attaches great importance to us!"

"Although the Son of Heaven has made some mistakes, he still doesn't say anything to us!"

"Chinese is easy to understand, what is mathematics, physics and chemistry?"

"Do you want to learn geography too? Is that miscellaneous? ”

"There is also history, it is also good to look at the rise and fall of dynasties before the Great Song Dynasty!"
