Wei Yan named the college that trained teachers as the Normal College, which was based on the setting of later generations.

He thought that he would be vetoed by Sima Hui and others.

Sima Hui exclaimed: "Wen Changgong, this name is set well, Yang Xiong said in "Speech Words and Lines": 'It is better to study than to seek a teacher. The teacher is also a model of people. "We just want to cultivate some teachers who are 'high learners and teachers, and who are role models'." ”

Wei Yan thought of later generations, most of the teachers in primary and secondary schools are relatively mediocre among the students of the same class, how outstanding can the students taught by these mediocre teachers be, the country's education system itself is poor, plus those who implement it are not good, there are too many talents who can become pillars of the country have been delayed, and among those university teachers, experts without teacher ethics are everywhere, for the long-term development of the Han nation, Wei Yan has to choose the most outstanding talents to be teachers from the beginning.

Therefore, Wei Yan designated the Teachers College as the most important department in the Central University Hall, and the outstanding students in the Central University Hall who were most suitable for being teachers or could become good teachers with a little training were all arranged in the Teachers College.

In the territory he now occupies, there are more than 4,000 children of the poor, the children of the Hanshu, and the children of the families who are over the age of 15 who are slightly literate and literate, and only more than 2,000 people are willing to continue their studies in the Central University Hall, most of them are the children of ordinary businessmen and the landlords of the Hanshu, so Wei Yan gave priority to selecting 1,000 people from this and transferring them to the Normal College.

Under the guidance of Sima Hui, the dean of the Teachers College, this first batch of normal students will study the Confucian classics such as the Analects, the Mean, and the University, as well as the chapters related to teaching and educating people in the works of the pre-Qin princes.

In the first month and the last month, these normal students had to enter the regular army barracks to receive military training, and cultivate loyalty to Wei Yan with a strong will.

Only 500 of the normal students of the first phase of the Central University Hall passed the final examination, and the remaining 500 did not pass the examination and had to undergo another year of study and training.

Wei Yan controlled a population of 8 million, and the boys and girls aged 5 to 15 in the 8 million population added up, totaling more than 1 million, and an average of 2,000 students could be divided into one teacher.

Wei Yan issued a decree stipulating that all children under the age of five to fifteen under his jurisdiction, whether they were children of large families, children of poor landlords, children of yeoman farmers, merchants, soldiers, or children of tenants and slaves, should all be educated.

Those who are completely illiterate, regardless of age and gender, are all assigned to the first grade of the primary school, and follow the villagers from literacy to the beginning.

The primary school is only set up for four years, and Wei Yan has experienced the kind of education system that destroys children's humanity in later generations, so he has always believed that basic education does not need to take five or six years, and a child with normal intelligence can complete all the courses in the primary school in four years.

Those children who are slightly literate are then divided into second, third, and fourth grades according to the amount of literacy and the number of classics they read.

In the first few years, the Central University Hall trained very few teachers, and each township could only be assigned one or two, so Wei Yan came up with a convenient way to quickly promote the education of the whole people. The teacher first teaches the fourth-grade children, and after the teaching is finished, the fourth-grade students will teach the second-grade students according to the second-grade textbook, and the teacher will teach the third-grade children, and after the teaching, the third-grade children will teach the first-grade students according to the first-grade textbook. Students in the third and fourth grades who are faster learners and teach better will be granted the status of teaching assistants and participate in the daily teaching of the primary school.

In this era, even if Wei Yan didn't add anything, the curriculum of the primary school was much more interesting than the primary school curriculum of later generations, and it could better cultivate a person's all-round quality, because the main content of learning was based on the six arts that Confucianism required students to master, "etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics".

Rites, is etiquette, just like the ideological and moral education of later generations, there are two books, one is the "Book of Rites", one is the "Three Character Classic" compiled by Wei Yan himself, taken from the "Three Character Classic" of later generations, all the deeds after the Eastern Han Dynasty are deleted, only the deeds of the Eastern Han Dynasty and all the sages before it, next to the illustrations are also drawn, edutainment, the Three Character Classic is the enlightenment textbook of the first and second grades of the primary school, and the abbreviated version of the "Book of Rites" is for the third and fourth grades of the primary school to study.

Music, that is, music, poetry, dance, etc., these are mixed together, taught together, the teaching materials are the "Book of Songs" and Wei Yan's compilation of "Enlightenment Poems", "Enlightenment Poems" are selected are those poems that are easy to understand in later generations, such as Li Bai's "Silent Night Thoughts" and other poems, as for the piano and dance, it is for students to spontaneously establish some piano clubs, dance clubs for self-training, and teachers from the side to tutor.

Archery is archery, in order to fight against the northern nomadic tribes, all primary school students must learn archery, whether they are civil officials or military generals or other professions in the future, they can at least fight back when they encounter the infestation of the nomadic tribes. Depending on the age, there are bowstrings of different magnitudes that cannot affect their bone development.

In the beginning, it meant to drive a horse-drawn carriage, but now, of course, it means horseback riding, and the horse ranch sends dozens of foals to each elementary school for elementary school students to ride and practice riding and archery.

Because of the foundation of these two subjects, Wei Yan incorporated all the students in the primary school into the alternate sequence of the regular army, called the Boy Scouts.

Book, refers to literacy and writing, literacy methods include pictograms, referring to things, willing, morphophonic, transcribing, borrowing, pictographic, referring to things, knowing, morphophonic and phonological methods are also word-making methods, of which morphophonic characters account for about 90%, literacy after the beginning of the practice of calligraphy.

Number, refers to arithmetic, the primary school does not learn Juntian, Libu, Differential, Shaoguang, Shanggong, Even, Yingyu, equations, Pythagorean and other complex mathematical arts, they learn nine numbers, that is, ninety-nine multiplication table, as long as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of four operations can be learned, Wei Yan does not want to use the Olympiad of later generations to come over and disgust and destroy the students of these primary schools.
