Chapter 221: Academic Center: Primary School (II)

For primary school compulsory education, although the investment in hardware is also very important, what to teach is even more important!

Why can compulsory education make a country rise rapidly? This is not only because compulsory education improves the quality of the people, but more importantly, it can instill a kind of thought in a person from an early age and affect a person's life!

And the ideological indoctrination or brainwashing of this kind of group can easily become an organization, a group consciousness of a country. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In such ideological indoctrination, the ruler can transform the people according to his own wishes!

For those countries that want to become strong, militaristic education is the most suitable! Prussia, and later Japan, instilled such an idea in the people. Under this kind of ideological indoctrination, Prussia could allow all men over the age of 14 in the whole country to go to war, because the war caused the death of one in nine of the civilians in the whole country, and the wounded several times more, and still made the people spontaneously loyal to the king!

And then Japan was even more terrifying! Not to mention the young soldiers who went to the battlefield, the later kamikaze members dared to fly a plane to hit the warships of the US imperialists! Even later he dared to shout the slogan of "100 million jade pieces", if it weren't for Uncle Sam who planted mushrooms on his land, it would be hard to say what the fate of this country would be!

For Dai Yan, if he has a need, he can instill in all the primary school students of Taoqiu the concept that he is a god, after many years of continuous education, the entire Taoqiu must be his divine servant, and when the time comes, it is very easy to recruit a group of soldiers who are not afraid of death and dare to "break jade"!

However, Dai Yan would not do this at all. Because he knows very well that using the method of brainwashing to instill a kind of thought in primary school students can certainly play a very effective role in a short period of time, and it is not difficult for Taoqiu and even the Song Kingdom to rise rapidly! However, with this brainwashing method, it is extremely easy to backlash!

It is often said that a lie repeated a hundred times is the truth. However, for reality, a lie is a lie after all, not the truth!

For example, in the later generations, the self-proclaimed "cavalry and archery peerless" of our Qing Dynasty, its seizure of the world, Hongyi cannons and arquebuses and other firearms actually played a considerable role, but it was because of the need to prevent the Han people from rebelling and forming the absolute superiority of the Manchus, my Qing Dynasty began to continue for two hundred years to continue to fool the "cavalry and shooting peerless", and denounced foreign guns and foreign cannons as "kitsch and obscenity", and this brainwashing eventually made the emperors of the late Qing Dynasty become a real brain-dead, and the final failure of the Westernization movement has a great deal to do with this.

For this kind of brainwashing, Dai Yan was quite speechless in later generations. Of course, he didn't want to brainwash his people, and in the end, the successor of Taoqiu was brainwashed by the entire cultural atmosphere of Taoqiu!

What he needs is a smart, honorable, and pioneering leader!

Therefore, he is still very serious about the textbooks of primary education. Under his personal attention, and with reference to the curriculum of later generations, he set six subjects for primary school students, namely Chinese, foreign languages, mathematics, science, history, and geography.

There is nothing to say about language, which is the basis of reading and literacy. Although it is only a subject, it includes the study of language, literature and even culture. Because the current use of Taoqiu is all improved by the Mohists, and the current writing of all countries in the world is different, the language learning is naturally based on Taoqiu.

Dai Yan also hopes that through the study of literature and culture, the next generation of Taoqiu can be contaminated with a strong literary atmosphere, and hopes that in the future, the Song Kingdom will also be able to produce several writers like Qu Yuan. Therefore, he introduced the "Book of Songs" into the Chinese textbook, the most important of which is the "Song of Shang"!

As for culture, Dai Yan only conforms to the values of this era. And the most important values of this era are nothing more than thinking, that is, courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame. For the sake of his own interests, Dai Yan improved it slightly, and began to advocate the concepts of faith, loyalty, courtesy, filial piety, and righteousness. He regards "faith" as the first value of the whole Taoqiu in the future, and hopes that honest and trustworthy talents can be cultivated from Taoqiu in the future!

Of course, the teaching of foreign languages is not to teach English, but to teach the languages of all countries in the world in this era. This is a very natural thing for Dai Yan, not to mention that Taoqiu and the Song Kingdom are weak countries compared to the surrounding powers, Taoqiu, as the commercial center of the world, must also work hard to learn the languages of other countries in order to promote exchanges with other countries.

Dai Yan chose Yayan, Qi language, Wei language and Zhao language to learn separately. Because the Yayan of this era is the common language of the world, this must be learned. Qi and Wei, as two large countries near Taoqiu, naturally had to learn their language and writing. And Zhao Guonai is Tao Qiu's most powerful ally, Tao Qiu's master mother is all Zhao people, and it is natural to learn Zhao language!

As for teaching mathematics, it is all about giving future children a livelihood skill. As an industrial and commercial city, Taoqiu requires a lot of calculations, both as merchants and as workers. In Taoqiu, if you don't do math, you may have problems surviving in the city in the future. And for such a discipline, Dai Yan also helped Hui Shi to mix in a little private goods, after all, geometry, and even the important set theory in mathematics, are inseparable from logic credits, which is completely the territory of famous masters.

As for science, this science, which was created by him, the lord of Taoqiu, must of course occupy a place in the students' subjects! However, for primary school students, they study science, and Dai Yan does not expect them to become the most important theoretical research scholars in the school all of a sudden! This subject, he is considered to have paid less attention to all the subjects, and only uses the knowledge in it as a subject for children to understand common sense. There is a real need to study technology, and these people are not needed yet!

The rest of history and geography are the subjects that Dai Yan focuses on. Dai Yan's emphasis on these two subjects even goes beyond foreign languages, mathematics and science!

Because these two subjects are important subjects for cultivating the values and worldview of primary school students! The Song Kingdom has a long history, which can be traced back to ancient times, and the glory of Dayi merchants has actually always remained in the hearts of Song people. What Dai Yan has to do is to tell this history of the ancestors of the Song people in the classroom, and tell the next generation of Taoqiu: How great our ancestors used to be, they started from the lower reaches of the Yellow River, marched upstream, defeated the army of the Xia Dynasty in the Battle of Mingtiao, and established Dayi Shang who ruled the entire Central Plains!

At the time of the glory of Dayi Shang, the ancestors of the Zhou people were still muddy near Qishan, while the founder of the Qi State, the Jiang family, was grazing near Jiangshui, further west of Qishan, the ancestors of the Chu State were still barbarians, and the ancestors of the Zhao State and the Qin State Ying were the servants of the Dayi Shang!

How glorious the ancestors used to be, we can compare how miserable and unfortunate the Song people are today! Under such stimulation, the next generation of Taoqiu began to encourage themselves, and they began to spontaneously fight for the rise of the Song people and even the merchants! And this kind of glorious history to inspire the national spirit of honor is a valuable experience that Dai Yan has learned from the great powers of later generations! That's much better than relying solely on brainwashing to instill loyalty!

Geography is also very important in education, because it can broaden one's intellectual horizons. If the ancients said that a person was knowledgeable, they would definitely say that this person knew astronomy and geography. If it was during the period of the unified dynasty, all that anyone with this kind of knowledge could think of was rebellion!

In today's era, the whole of China has not yet been unified, and the Chinese people have a strong pioneering spirit, and their demand for geographical knowledge is almost hungry! Dai Yan knew that it was basically during this period that the theory of Kyushu under heaven had already taken shape faintly in China. And the world of Kyushu is basically all the geographical knowledge of this era.

Dai Yan wants to do much more than this, Taoqiu's geography textbook was written by him himself! As for geography, at this time, the territory of the following countries is just an appetizer. The geographical knowledge that Dai Yan really valued was the map he obtained through the voyages of the Taoqiu people and the nobles of the East China Sea!

On that overseas map, the location of the Song Wanu Kingdom was directly marked. Dai Yan even praised the great significance of Kongtongjia's discovery of the Unu Islands directly in his geography textbook, because he helped Taoqiu send the great wealth of gold and silver!

As for the map of the whole world, Dai Yan also simulated its rough outline with his own memory. Later, the schoolchildren were presented with a map of the world where there was light in very few places, and a dark place in the rest.

Dai Yan told these children that this world is very big, and the whole world is not as big as Kyushu! Kyushu is actually a very small piece of the world compared to the whole world. And in today's world, only the land of Kyushu is the land where civilization has shone, and the rest of the world is dark! He told the children that the future of Taoqiu needs people like Kong Tongjia to constantly explore the world, discover the world, and then spread the Chinese civilization to the world and completely light up the world!

This kind of undisguised ambition is very easy to form an extremely strong pioneering spirit among the next generation of Taoqiu! This kind of indoctrination of geographical knowledge is the only place where Dai Yan brings a little brainwashing, but what Dai Yan has washed them is the truth, and what he wants to instill in them is also an enterprising spirit, and Dai Yan will not worry that they will be brainwashed at this point!

The emergence of a large group of colonialists in Taoqiu in the future is not unrelated to Dai Yan's teaching of geography to primary school students!

Although there are six subjects in compulsory education in Taoqiu, Dai Yan did not come up with a score-only education system. He has not forgotten that he ran compulsory education to improve the quality of the people, not to create a group of lawless scribes like later generations!

Knowledge is important, but quality is even more important, after all, this is not a world where mushrooms suppress it in later generations, but a Warring States era with constant strife! These students who have worked hard to train may enter trading houses and factories in the future, but they must also go to the battlefield when Taoqiu encounters an attack from other countries!

Dai Yan has put great effort into training the physical fitness of students. He directly transferred several excellent generals from the army, and every day he would let the children have at least two "physical education" classes, which were not for them to play on the playground and have free activities, but directly for militarized training!

From endurance training, queue adjustment, to hand-to-hand combat, sword fighting, to bow and arrow shooting, and even the control of high-tech weapons such as bed crossbows, each training is a necessary skill that will enable these children to become excellent soldiers in the future!

Originally, for this kind of training, Dai Yan was only ready to let the boys participate, because there were no female soldiers in this era, and he never expected to let female soldiers go to the battlefield!

However, those female students who studied the history of the Shang Dynasty did not do it! In the knowledge they have learned, the glory of the Song Kingdom, the status of women in the Dayi Shang period is very high! As the commander of the Shang Dynasty army, the woman was able to personally send troops to quell the rebellion, which made these female students who looked like flowers in Dai Yan envious!

They first asked their respective principals for instructions, and after they didn't approve it, they found Dai Yan's head, of course Dai Yan couldn't agree to let these delicate cute girls go to the battlefield to cut people in person in the future, and decisively refused!

In the end, these female students found Ji Hu, the princess of the Zhou family who fought for the right to education for Taoqiu women, and Ji Hu immediately asked to see Dai Yan, and directly accused Dai Yan: Not allowing girls to conduct military training is reverse discrimination against girls!

Dai Yan's kindness received such a result, which really made him speechless. Later, he had no choice but to agree to military training for his sister, but he swore in his heart that he would not let these women really go to the battlefield!
