"Hiroshi, you suggest that Mr. Hoover set up an engineering and technical school?"

Meng Xiancheng, who was very disappointed, shook his head and sighed, and said very disappointedly: "Hong Gradually, Hong Gradually, you are not studying education after all." You don't know ......"

"Bohong, don't say it." Our Master Yuan also sighed and said, "I know! ”

He said secretly in his heart, I really know...... Because I'm a traverser!

He really doesn't understand pedagogy, but as a Seris intellectual, how could Yuan Yanqian not know the importance of personal education and the urgency of compulsory education for all?

But, but, but he is a time-traveler who understands the general trend of history, and he is no stranger to political economy.

At this time, Seris's various "national salvation" arguments came and went, such as military, finance, railways, industry, agriculture, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, mahjong, ...... There are serious and absurd.

The theory of education to save the country was quite high at that time, and many famous intellectuals, such as Yan Fu, Liang Qichao, Cai Yuanpei, etc., were advocates and practitioners.

The mentor of the Heavenly Demon Descendant and Taishan Yang Changji is one of the educational salvationists. As his proud disciple, the Heavenly Demon Descendant was naturally influenced by him.

But again, the descendants of the Heavenly Demons are the descendants of the Heavenly Demons after all.

In 1917, when he was still a student at the Hunan Provincial No. 1 Normal School, he wrote to a friend: "Today's changes to the law all start from the details, such as the parliament, the constitution, the president, the cabinet, the military, industry, and education. Branches are also indispensable, but these branches must have their origins. …… The Origin of the Husband, the Truth of the Universe. ”

The Truth of the Universe...... Well, those words sound like a lot of air, but in fact he followed this line of thought for the rest of his life.

The descendants of the Heavenly Demons advocated starting with the transformation of philosophy and ethics, and "fundamentally changed the thinking of the whole country".

In the future, he really consistently "fundamentally changed the thinking of the whole country."

It's just that this is a metaphysical big question, and only a communist revolutionary like the Heavenly Demon Descendant is qualified to think, and our neoclassical liberal masters can also answer the metaphysical "small questions".

This little metaphysical problem is......

He puffed out a cloud of green smoke and asked leisurely, "Bohong, let me ask you, what is education for?" ”

"What is education for? Hahaha......" Meng Xiancheng laughed dumbly, "Hong Yan, are you entertaining me?" Naturally, education is to open up people's wisdom. ”

Our Master Yuan smiled slightly and asked, "What about after opening the wisdom of the people?" ”

The educator of Mengda University said as a matter of course: "After opening the wisdom of the people, we can prosper industry and practice democracy." If these two can be implemented smoothly, they will be able to enrich the country and strengthen the army like Germany and Japan......"

He is right, Germany and Japan are the most vigorous countries in the world to carry out compulsory education for all.

Germany, or more precisely Prussia, was the first country in the world to introduce universal compulsory education. As early as 1717, King Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia promulgated a "Compulsory Education Regulation", which explicitly stipulated that "all minors, male and female, high and low, must be educated". After Wilhelm I's son Friedrich succeeded to the throne, he resolutely implemented the basic state policy of compulsory education, and on August 12, 1763, he personally signed the world's first "General Compulsory Education Act".

In 1872, the Japanese government promulgated the "School System", which for the first time put forward the slogan of universal elementary education, and put forward the demand that "there are no households in the city who can learn, and no one in the family who can learn". This is 4 years earlier than the United States and 10 years earlier than France. By 1937, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the popularity of their nine-year compulsory education was a terrifying 89%!

Hearing this, Yuan Yanqian interrupted with a sneer, "Do you use swords like Germany and Japan?" Don't you hear that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, Germany has already become like this, and I don't think the end of Little Japan will be much better. ”

Germany and Japan brainwashed their people with great pleasure, and as a result, they washed out the Second Dezi, the Third Dezi, and the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

There is no way, if compulsory education is carried out, nationalist education will definitely be carried out, and nationalist education has side effects.

Meng Xiancheng said unconvinced: "Then Britain, France and the United States are also ......"

Master Yuan interrupted again: "Bohong, can we compare with the three great powers of Britain, France, and the United States?" ”

"This ......" Meng Xiancheng could only be dumbfounded when he heard this question.

Yuan Yanqian said in a slow tone: "Okay, Bo Hong." Why don't you, the great educator, listen to the ideas of an economist like me? ”

"Eat bite by bite, and walk step by step. Let's focus on the present. He gently persuaded again, "Since Mr. Hoover has done this righteous act, we must do things beautifully, which is the long-term way, and it can also set an example for the people." ”

Meng Xiancheng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Hong Yan, you are right. So what do you think this technical school should do? ”

Our Master Yuan naturally had a case for a long time, and said directly: "Bo Hong, I have some immature ideas, just let you, the great educator, help me refer to the details......

"This school has three principles, which are cash-for-work, work-for-learning, and work-for-pay."

It must be said here that his purpose in opening this technical school is very clear, that is, to train a group of senior skilled workers and junior engineers. In fact, in this day and age, there is no difference between the two.

Of course, Yuan Yanqian knew that history had proved that in order for Seris to carry out industrialization, he had to go through the agrarian revolution. But is it like saying that you call him such a high-ranking Chinese to pull up his trouser legs and go to an agricultural workshop with the mud legs......

Well, to be honest, he doesn't want to suffer this either.

Then he can only settle for the next best thing and train some technical backbones and managers for the future industrialization of Seris.

In short, if the rank and file officers are to an army, then these technical backbones and managers are so important to industrialization.

As a person from the Great Demon Capital, Yuan Hongjian naturally knows that in the chain of regional discrimination in Seris, the Great Demon Capital who is afraid of his wife, the Great Holland that steals the manhole cover, and the Great Northeast of the Black Society are half a catty and eight taels, and they are in the most downstream position, and they are easy to be set on fire by the people of the whole country.

However, no matter how much they look down on the Great Demon Capital, the Seris people cannot deny the fact that after the liberation, the Great Demon Capital sent a large number of engineers and skilled workers to support the construction of the whole country.

During the entire period of planned economy from the liberation to the 70s, at least hundreds of thousands of people from the Great Demon Capital went to the whole country to support the construction of various places. (Author's note: In order to prevent controversy, this number is obscured.) But according to the information found by Murong, there should be 400,000. ）

In particular, in the autumn of 1964, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council decided to build a large-scale rear base to prepare for war, and required Shanghai to relocate 342 projects of military and basic industries, involving 458 factories.

Of course, the whole country is a game of chess, since as a Serisian, this is also the obligation of the people of the Great Demon Capital.

However, this shows how short of engineers and skilled workers were in China at that time.

"After consulting with Mr. Hoover, I decided to put a charity school. Therefore, the target of enrollment should be junior primary (third grade) and upper primary (sixth grade) students who cannot afford to continue their studies. These students are not only taught free of charge, but also have free room and board, and are also given several sets of clothes a year. Of course, since the school provides such generous conditions, these students take turns to take care of the day-to-day tasks such as cooking, shopping, cleaning, etc. The school only sends people to supervise ......"

"Is this possible?" Meng Xiancheng couldn't help but ask, "And will students delay their studies by doing this?" ”

Master Yuan said as a matter of course: "What's not feasible about this? Do the children of the poor take charge of the house early? Besides, don't you educators encourage students to self-manage? As for delaying studies...... If they go to be apprentices, don't they have to do chores, cook, do laundry, take care of the children, and pour water for washing their feet? ”

He paused and said, "Next, let's talk about work-for-learning." This school will run more than one school-run factory, and students who have a certain foundation will go to work in the factory......"

"Hong Gradual, you still need to use child labor?!" Meng Xiancheng couldn't help but say loudly in a reproachful tone.

Yuan Yanqian waved her hand disapprovingly and said, "Hey, Bohong, I don't like to hear what you say. What kind of child labor is not child labor, and we are not recruiting a young master who has no worries about food and clothing. If they hadn't gone to our school, they wouldn't have had to farm and work. Besides, practice makes sense......"

"In the end, it's all about work. After graduation, students are required to work in a factory designated by the university for a number of years before they can choose a career on their own. Of course, during this period, their salaries will go back to the school, and they will be given some subsidies as appropriate. If you don't want to, then you have to return the fees for these few years. ”

Meng Xiancheng said with some interest: "Hong Yan, I can understand it, aren't you an apprentice?" This kind of thing, you better ask for another skill. ”

That's all it takes to be a neoclassical liberal master, and Master Yuan is more accustomed to capitalism than Mr. Meng.

In a capitalist society, who would be willing to do something without profit, and if there was profit, anyone would rush to do it.

In order to achieve his goal, it is naturally not enough to open such a technical school.

Yuan Yanqian wanted to establish a teaching model, a teaching model that could make money without sticking money, and a teaching model that made national capitalists rush to it.

It's a lot more useful to be able to blossom around than to raise money everywhere.

Of course, there will be people who sell dog meat with sheep's heads, nominally run charity technical schools, but in fact recruit child laborers who don't have to pay for them. Is that the kind of thing......

For the Seris, this is a cruel era, if he can't even harden his heart, then he shouldn't open any technical school to open a good hall.

"Bo Hong, Bo Hong......" This time, Master Yuan also used a reproachful tone, and said earnestly: "As your old classmate and old friend, I have to say a few words about you. It seems that you have been in this Citigroup country for too long, and you have forgotten about the domestic environment for so long......"

He stood up and looked down at the other party and said, "Brother, all you think about is compulsory education, universities, literature, history and philosophy, ......."

"Now those college students taught in the big school have an egg?!" Yuan Yanqian, who was a little disappointed, a little tired and a little irritable, couldn't help but burst into a foul language, and said a few words in his heart, "And Wen Shi Zhe has an egg for today's China?!" ”

"Can the complete "Twenty-Four History" and Thucydides' "History" save the country?"

""Dream of Red Mansions", "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Homer, Dante, Goethe, and Shakespeare, can they save the country?"

Plato, Aristotle, Bacon, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Horse...... Well, and Dewey and Russell, who are visiting China today, can save the country? ”

"None of this stuff is of any use!"

His eyes were blazing and he said: "Only iron and blood can save our motherland!" Do you understand? Iron and blood! ”

Meng Xiancheng shuddered under the vicious gaze of his old classmates, and nodded dumbly.

Yuan Yanqian slowed down his tone and said, "Bo Hong, you have to understand. This blood is not only shed on the battlefield of fighting foreign enemies, but also on the construction site of the motherland. ”

He raised his tone slightly: "Someone has to suffer this hardship, suffer this sin, and do this work." And what we can do is to make these people better at their tasks. ”

He said more and more passionately: "Don't feel that the students of this school are suffering, they can learn real skills from us, and they will also make real contributions to our motherland." They will understand, and when they do, they will appreciate us. ”

Master Yuan's eyes flashed, and he suppressed his emotions and said, "At that time, not only them, but all of China will be grateful to us." What's the point of enduring momentary infamy and misunderstandings, as long as we have a clear conscience? ”

"So ......"

Yuan Yanqian pointed to the door and said, "Comrade Meng Xiancheng...... Yes, sir. Now I have given you an honorable task, and I have someone to open your room for you. According to my three principles, you wrote out the preparatory plan for this school overnight! ”

"This ...... That ......"

"Bohong, don't want this or that, I'll ask if you can do it?"

"Rainbow, I'll give it a try."

Master Yuan nodded with satisfaction and sent him out of the door, and stretched out his hand in parting, "Bohong, come on!" ”

Meng Xiancheng, who always felt that something was wrong, had no choice but to shake his hand and said, "Hong Yan, I will!" ”

"This ...... That ......"

"Keke, don't want this or that, I'll just ask if you can do it?"

"I'll give it a try."

"Keke, come on!"

"I'm tired, I can't do it......"
