Chapter 541: Neither Nor Great
"Dad, mother. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After two or three quarters of an hour in the garden, when I returned to the Fubi Pavilion, I heard a crisp children's voice. Chen Ding, dressed like a hairy bear, was scraping snow on loquat leaves with his feet crossed.
Apparently the white snow was very much his love. Shake the snow that has been blown down into a snow mass the size of a child's fist. Chen Ming smiled happily when he saw his parents, and smashed the snowball against a hundred-year-old cloud pine branch and leaf on the side. In the snowflakes falling, Chen Ding pulled his legs and ran to his parents. is not a formal occasion, Chen Ding does not need to shout Chen Ming's honorific title of Li Xiaomei.
Li Xiaomei immediately knocked off a little snow on the top of his head and shoulders for him, and grabbed his reddened little hand with worry and a little anger to ask if it was cold. Chen Ding was very satisfied with his father's answer, and Chen Ming was very satisfied with his son's 'disdainful' attitude. Boys, you have to be skinny.
At that time, he lived in the family courtyard of the textile machinery factory, and the wall outside the factory was adjacent farmland, which was not as good as when he crossed it, and it was already a community of water at a glance. In fact, they don't like to 'pick' and eat those cucumbers and tomatoes, but how do they say it? It's a fun story.
At the top of the two-meter-high wall, they climbed up with the bricks, turned over and over, and took shortcuts along the wall, Chen Ming himself and the impression that he had fallen down twice, so it wasn't that long to twenty or thirty?
Now this little guy is eight years old, according to Chinese custom, nine years old, and is now in the second grade in the primary school of Sungkyun Public School. I'm a second-grade elementary school student, so there's nothing to be nervous about playing in the snow. Chen Ming looked at Li Xiaomei and couldn't help but roll her eyes when she couldn't help but roll her eyes when she hung up one finger on the hand stove.
"Mother, I'm not cold." Chen Ding didn't lie, his face was flushed, and when he took off his leather hat, he could still see the white air rising, he was really not cold.
But it didn't work. Li Xiaomei couldn't wait to wrap her son in a blanket immediately.
Chen Ming smiled unscrupulously on the side, when he was a child, he didn't feel cold a lot of time, but his mother insisted that he wear thicker. "Son, my father told you that there is a kind of coldness in this world, which makes your mother think you are cold. Hahaha, hahaha......"
There are always talents in the world, and this sentence sums it up so perfectly.
When he heard this sentence for the first time in his previous life, Chen Ming was going to get drunk in an instant, he was really going to get drunk. Just like the first time he saw a screen called 'sitting on the wall waiting for red apricots', there was a kind of 'shock' that broke through the sky of his brain.
Chen Ding immediately laughed, Li Xiaomei looked angry and funny, and the surrounding maids and guards also faintly laughed. Although there is a gap of more than 200 years between the two eras, some things are the same.
Li Xiaomei rolled her eyes at Chen Ming fiercely, and took Chen Ding's hand into the Fubi Pavilion. The Fubi Pavilion, which had been ventilated on all sides, was now heavily covered by tents, and the braziers at the corners were belching hot.
Chen Ming took off his cloak and watched Chen Ding behaving coquettishly in front of his mother, without thinking about it, he knew what it was for. Winter vacation homework! You must know that Chen Ding's homework burden is very heavy. In addition to the school's winter vacation homework, Chen Ming assigned him other homework, several tutors. From martial arts to horseback riding, then archery and gunkeeping, from writing big characters to learn to draw, to accounting mathematics, geography and history. Chen Ding's burden is much heavier than that of other students. Chen Ming doesn't necessarily have to cultivate Chen Ding, at least he has to be a little outstanding.
He's the one in the limelight.
In all Chinese dynasties, the prince, especially the eldest son, is completely the predetermined prince. What's more, Chen Ding is both a grandson and a long one, and his reputation is full of compulsion. Although the position of the crown prince is not yet available, it seems that there is a distance from every prince, but Chen Ding is undoubtedly the closest one. Compared with Yao's son, Chen Ding can ascend the throne with his legs, but Yao's child needs to walk on it for ten years and may not be able to sit on it.
The education of the prince has always been a major event related to the society of the country.
The princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were very strict, and in a certain sense, they also learned the bitter lesson of Zhu Ming.
In order to ensure that the future ruler of the dynasty is a holy king, the Chinese royal family has selected a large number of officials to educate him with filial piety, benevolence, courtesy, righteousness and other great righteousness. In addition, Emperor Lao Tzu had to carefully choose from among his courtiers people who were upright, filial to their parents, loving their brothers, knowledgeable, and well-versed in the art of governing the country (is there any?). Suspicious) Gong Wei and assist the prince, so that they can get along with the prince day and night.
These people are the ministers of the hidden palace, and when the crown prince succeeds to the throne, they will be the ministers of the court. Once a son of heaven and a courtier? The same is true for the current Chen Han, the old and the new are officially replaced, and a group of old ministers promoted by Chen Hui can also go home to retire. The previous Wu Xizeng was just the beginning.
And in history, like Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng back then, isn't that the case?
Chen Ding, as the eldest son of the royal family, is not exempt from vulgarity, although the little guy has not yet been crowned, but he is the most likely to be the crown prince. Therefore, for his education, not only the ministers are concerned, but Chen Ming is also very concerned. In addition to the school's education, Sungkyun Public School is all residential, and after the holiday every ten years, there are five special tutors waiting for him.
Chen Ming developed a special set of lesson plans for Chen Ding, and assigned five scholars with different studies to serve as their teachers, including traditional Chinese literati such as Qian Daxin and blonde European scholars such as Newton. The latter is very busy now, he has to work as a secretary by Chen Ming's side on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to take care of the "General History of Europa", and then at the end of the decade, he has to find time to teach Chen Ding. Newton's Chinese dialect is now becoming more and more smooth.
Although the decision to let foreigners participate in the family education of the emperor's eldest son was strongly resisted by many people at the beginning, Chen Ming's toughness was not something they resisted, and finally followed Chen Ming's method.
For other children of the same age, Chen Ding's task is obviously much heavier, but there is no way, this is the after-effect of his identity. While he enjoyed the glory of the eldest son of the imperial concubine, he also had to bear the heavy pressure brought by this title.
"Aren't you studying at this time? How did you come to the garden? ”
Chen Ding's winter vacation homework has two parts, one in school and one at home. He has to complete both aspects of his homework, but Chen Ding has not skipped class since school. Chen Ming didn't think that Chen Ding, who appeared in front of him now, had skipped class and ran away.
"Mr. Qian asked me to write a silent essay "On the Passage of Qin", and after I finished writing it, I came out for a spin." Chen Ding said proudly.
Chen Ming doesn't care much about the content of family teacher education, and he doesn't care if a child who is just eight years old is suitable for reading "The Theory of Passing Qin". Anyway, every season the tutor's syllabus was to be presented to him. Mr. Qian in Chen Ding's mouth, that is, Qian Daxin, is also a great person. This person was born in Jiading, with academics as his thesis, and Ji Yun has the reputation of "South Money and North Ji".
He gave up his official position three years ago, because his father was bedridden after fleeing from Jiading to Jiangbei, and Qian Daxin was asked to return. At that time, he was a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy.
Chen Ming still recognizes Qian Daxin, this person admonishes and administers learning, admires Han Confucianism, and criticizes Song studies. There is a lot of criticism of science.
Due to the reason of 'vision', Qian Daxin's criticism of the empty talk of the last stream of Song and Ming Dynasty science is different from Gu Yanwu. Gu Yanwu's purpose was to summarize the historical lessons of the Ming Dynasty and advocate the practical study of the world, while Qian Daxin was more concerned with distinguishing between right and wrong in scholarship and restoring the Confucian ethical doctrine of loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness. To put it more bluntly, Qian Daxin was dissatisfied with the philosophical theories of the Song and Ming dynasties, and what he was trying to do was to concretize the teachings of Confucian ethics vigorously advocated by physicists into the norms of people's daily life. It can be said that his refutation of the categories of "sexuality" and "Tao" in science runs through this kind of thought.
For a reader in this era, it is also rare to be able to read books to the point of Qian Daxin.
“…… As for the first emperor, the remnants of Fen VI, Zhen Chang Zhi and Yu Yu, swallowed two weeks and died the princes, performed the supreme and controlled Liuhe, and whipped the world with the beating and fluttering, and vibrated the four seas. Take the land of Baiyue in the south, thinking that Guilin and Xiangjun are the counties; The king of Baiyue, bowed his head and tied his neck, and entrusted his subordinates. It was to make Meng Tian build the Great Wall in the north and guard the fence, but the Xiongnu were more than 700 miles. The Hu people did not dare to go south and herd their horses, and the soldiers did not dare to bend their bows and complain......"
The clear children's voices echoed in the Fubi Pavilion. Chen Ming doesn't need to know what knowledge the young Chen Ding has learned from this famous article, an eight-year-old child can recite the entire article clearly, much better than he was when he was eight years old. Everything has to be done step by step.
When Chen Ding's education was first discussed, it was not without ministers who proposed to follow the Manchu Qing policy. Kang Mazi's rule bt belongs to bt, but at least it is useful. In all fairness, Emperor Yongzheng is very good, in the first 30 years of Qianlong's reign, Emperor Qianlong, who has not had time to pull up Heshen, and then evaluates him, it cannot be said that he is a faint monarch.
Since Yongzheng inherited the throne, the matter of Kowloon's succession has been circulated among the people, such as the 'ten' and 'Yu'. It's nonsense, but the impact is unmistakable. Otherwise, when Yongzheng wrote "The Mystery of Great Righteousness", why did he disclose some of the details of the princes' struggle for the throne and Yongzheng's victory in the Kangxi period?
It's just that as this book became widely known all over the world and everyone knew it, Yongzheng's ability to write an article to refute rumors was self-defeating. The common people are more interested in the Qing Dynasty royal family than in "righteous words", but in legends similar to "the fourteenth son and the fourth son".
What's even funnier is that after coming to power, Qianlong listed the book written by his father as a banned book.
But from another aspect, it can also highlight the high discipline of the princes under Kang Mazi. One or two decades of battles for storage positions, one by one the up-and-coming Manchu princes, those were all produced by the BT version of the teaching regulations formulated by Kang Mazi.
Chen Ming was very firm in his veto at that time. Otherwise, Chen Ding's life will be even more difficult now. You can only rest five days a year, New Year's Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor's birthday, your own birthday, and even Chinese New Year's Eve. Compared with the lives of Yongzheng and Qianlong when they were children, Chen Ding's small life was happy and died.
……
Liu Wen returned home exhausted. It's the New Year, and the summary of the year's work has to give a specific conclusion, and he wears the stars and the moon every day. The Ministry of Culture and Education is a cold yamen, even if the current independent departments such as the Press and Publication Administration and the Department of Education are all under the name of the Ministry of Culture and Education, compared with the departments of finance, justice, and construction, the Ministry of Culture and Education is a cold yamen.
This is the same as the original Ministry of Rites, and it is very important to say that 'etiquette', but compared to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War and other yamen, what is the Ministry of Rites? Even the Ministry of Engineering is also in charge of construction projects, the system of civil construction, the use of utensils, the method of dredging the canal weir, and the code of the mausoleum for 100 million, all of which belong to the Ministry of Industry. All civil and water conservancy projects, machine manufacturing projects (including ordnance, munitions, military utensils, etc.), mining, metallurgy, textiles and other government-run industries are all in charge of the country, and are in charge of a part of the financial currency and unified weights and measures.
In the past, the Ministry of Rites, now the Ministry of Culture and Education, is the standard cold yamen, which can no longer be standard. There is not much oil and water, and there is even less favor.
But Liu Wen is very satisfied with this position, he feels that he is the material for this industry. From the earliest Xiaonangou to the later cadre school, he has long been familiar with the work of the Ministry of Culture and Education, and he is very self-aware, if it weren't for his qualifications, would he be able to be a deputy minister with his ability? Will he be able to afford a job in a new place? In this case, it is better to take root in the Ministry of Culture and Education. Honestly stay in the Ministry of Culture and Education, doing his own work diligently, and digging through stacks of thick materials. His Highness can't treat himself badly.
When he returned home, he hastily ate some food, and Liu Wen went to the study. Now he has a project in his hand, and he will start construction next year. He must do a solid job, because his current report is the first major thing to be done after the opening of the Ministry of Culture and Education next year, and if something goes wrong, his original title will be over.
The titles of the Liu brothers are all earls, there is no title under the earl, and there are no sons and men in the Chen Han knighthood system, but the founding earl is finished after only one generation, so it will be harsh.
The final conclusion is that the earl can be passed on to three generations, the county earl, the township earl and the pavilion uncle, that is, the title of the late Han Dynasty is taken and changed.
Liu Wen and Liu Wu's brothers are all Liujue, and when Liu Wu dies, there should be an honor, so that he can pass on one more generation.
But even so, the Liu family is also a first-class wealthy family in the new dynasty, and they are both uncles.
Liu Wen has done things for Chen Ming over the years, the foundation of the early stage, and then looked at the cadre school, and then fought with Confucianism with great fanfare in the cultural and educational system.
"Private schools, technical schools and colleges......"
The lights in the study were not extinguished until twelve o'clock, and Liu Wen slept directly in the study. The thing in his hands is to run a private school.
Chen Han's rule in China has already had a certain foundation, and now there are few fools in the world who think that the Manchus can make a comeback and make a comeback. Chen Ming decided to open up the new type of education for the people.
From basic to higher education, as long as the school can get enough talents, whether it is Chinese or foreign, as long as you can pass the official Chinese qualification examination and get the corresponding certificate, then your educational qualifications will be recognized.
Unlike national basic education, the development of higher education requires not only a large amount of human resources, but also a large amount of money to back it up. China's vast territory requires the government to set an example and play a leading role in higher education, and the government has funded the establishment of a number of public institutions of higher learning. For example, the provinces have four guaranteed institutions of higher learning, namely the normal school, the judiciary, the political department, and the financial and economic institutions, but this grand plan is far from being completed. Not to mention the rest.
Private investment in the establishment of private specialized schools from primary to higher education can make up for the shortage of national higher education teachers under certain circumstances, and this is what the Ministry of Culture and Education will vigorously advocate next year, but the key issue is not funding but teachers.
