How to improve China's new education system, Chen Ming and the Ministry of Culture and Education have racked their brains. In the past few years, they have promoted new education step by step, and although the progress is not fast, the foundation is very solid. We are making every effort to standardize the entire new education system in China, and we are gradually adopting the old private school colleges. Because what needs to be changed is the tradition of a large country for thousands of years, and this cannot be done overnight.

The imperial examination system has not been abolished in China, only the eight-strand text has been abolished, but only the original mode and content of the examination. This makes a lot of people accept it a little bit emotionally.

China is still a kingdom of heaven and heaven, so there is no reason for China to completely abandon some of its own 'traditions'.

Starting from the purpose of new-style education, it emphasizes the cultivation of talents who have a practical role in the national economy and people's livelihood, not a mouthpiece; The object of training is also the ordinary citizen who has knowledge and ability, and remember these two words - ordinary. Instead of training officials, not scholars.

In China's past, the word "scholar" was no longer a pure 'cultural person', but also meant to be an official. Especially after the Two Song Dynasty, reading is to be an official, and Song Zhenzong's poem of persuasion has exhausted its true meaning. The aims and objectives of these two types of education are completely different.

This is the biggest change in the purpose of education in China for thousands of years, and it will definitely be described in the history books of later generations. Because the new type of education is universal education, although Chen Han has not been able to do universal education in the real sense in a short period of time, and he will not even be able to do 'compulsory education' for a long time in the future, but this purpose is fundamentally different from the traditional study and becoming an official.

The original officials and the imperial court no longer advocated and promoted education, but they never thought about 'education for all'. Because in this way, what else can a scholar be proud of? Everyone is a scholar, and the mud-legged martial arts are all scholars, and they don't have such ambitions. The highest goal of the new type of education is to provide universal education in an all-round way.

In the new education system, there is no place for traditional private school academies, because traditional private school academies are too steep on history, and the subjects required by the new education are regarded as strange and obscene skills, and the two sides are completely incompatible. The new education system is also more strictly divided into different types of schools at all levels. The teaching subjects include self-cultivation, reading and lecturing, Chinese literature, foreign languages, Chinese and foreign history, Chinese and foreign geography, arithmetic, naturalism, physics and chemistry, legal system and financial management, drawing, gymnastics and so on.

Although there are self-cultivation, reading scriptures and lectures, literature and history in the educational content, and it also accounts for more than 1/4 of the proportion, after all, the pattern of traditional classics and history dominating the world in the past has been broken, and a large number of new studies of modern nature have been integrated. In terms of teaching methods, a unified class teaching method has been introduced, with special emphasis on the practicality of subject knowledge. For example, it is stipulated that all kinds of specialized industrial schools at all levels should emphasize practice rather than theory in the teachings of their professors, and they should go from shallow to profound. The materials used by his professors should be locally owned, collected at any time, and invented in case of trouble. What we want is to cultivate a group of qualified people who can be used in society in the shortest possible time.

Under the guidance of Chen Ming, a 'peerless talent' with more than 200 years of forward-looking vision, although the emergence of China's new education has been short, it has formed a relatively complete education system. Second, a teacher education system at all levels equivalent to primary schools, secondary schools and specialized universities has been formed; Third, it has formed an education system of industrial schools at all levels, which is mainly based on agriculture, industry, and commerce, and a variety of national colleges such as military, political, medical, legal, and industrial colleges. Compared with the imperial examination era, the development trend of this new education is of epoch-making significance, although the time is still very short, although the number of science colleges and universities is very small, it makes China's education as a whole a big step towards modernization.

Of course, the current era is also a mixed old and new, rapidly changing society, in this point and the late Qing society in history there is not even an essential gap, the abolition of the original imperial examination model, as far as the current imperial examination system is concerned, Chen Han's 'imperial examination' is more and more like a civil service examination with a layer of imperial examination skin. Such a period of change will undoubtedly cause many problems in the new era, and some things cannot be considered thoroughly and comprehensively under the current social situation. Therefore, it is not only the old education that compromises and compromises, but also the new education.

Two years ago, the Ministry of Culture and Education conducted a census of 1,000 households in the Jiangnan region, where the average wealth of the whole of China is the richest, and among them were wealthy and wealthy families, small landlords who did not have to worry about food and drink, ordinary peasants, and small traders and hawkers who worked hard.

Only a small percentage of these families say they would like to send their children to school, a fraction of the percentage.

There are three reasons why they do not agree with the new education: first, they are prejudiced against the new education, and many people still recognize the Four Books and the Five Classics; Second, the cost of the school is not low, and the higher the cost of the school, the higher the cost, and many families cannot afford it; Third, it is difficult to recruit teachers. Due to the limited number of graduates of normal schools, it is difficult for public schools in local counties to hire qualified teachers, and most of them are old students, which affects the teaching and development of the school. Fourth, there is hesitation about the child's academic path, and suddenly I feel that the way out of the reader has become blurred and I can't see the direction.

This is still the Jiangnan region with a relatively high economic level, and in Jiangxi, northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu and other underdeveloped areas, the development of new education is even slower. Regardless of the historical limitations of the political, ideological, economic, cultural and educational conditions, it must be explained that after the abrupt abolition of the imperial examination system, Chen Han has not been able to completely eliminate the legacy of the 'Four Books and Five Classics'.

At present, there is no private school in China, many old private schools are either being remodeled, or they are becoming more and more desired, and now the government allows private capital to enter the education system, and it is also an opportunity for these old private schools to change their faces, depending on whether they can grasp it or not.

Liu Wen has now received a lot of application forms for running schools, and even a college-level application form, which is the highest level set by the Ministry of Culture and Education for private schools, after all, there are not many schools in China that have a 'university' signboard.

This is the Yangcheng Business School to be undertaken by the Guangzhou Business Group. The leader of the Guangzhou business group's school-running affairs is an old friend of Liu Wen, a member of the Yan family, and the application manager of several private newspapers and periodicals in Guangdong Province. According to the information submitted by Mr. Yan, there were already several accounting, sales, business and foreign language schools in Guangzhou before that. Although these schools are nominally only training courses run by the commercial companies themselves, they are no different from private schools, and the organizers who pay for them are all Guangzhou business groups. Now they want to integrate all the faculty and upgrade it to Yangcheng Business School. The Guangdong Provincial Government strongly supports this!

"Free education, scholarships, and joining the foreign banks of various companies under the Guangzhou Business Group after graduation, with a period of not less than five years."

Chen Ming saw Liu Wen's report on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and the name of Yangcheng Business School fell into his eyes for the first time, isn't this 'Dai Peisheng'? Because of the existence of the agreement, students lose their freedom to a certain extent within a certain period of time after graduation. But this has also given countless poor students the opportunity to learn, change their own destiny, and change the destiny of their families.

- Five years!

This is not a short time, but compared to the whole life, it is not so irreplaceable.

"That's a good idea. National institutions of higher learning can also be introduced, communicate with companies, business groups and business gangs in various places, and the Ministry of Culture and Education will also come up with an appropriate plan. Chen Ming was very satisfied and said to Liu Wen.

As mentioned in the preface, running schools in China, especially running institutions of higher learning, is lacking not only funds, but also corresponding teachers.

The reason why the Guangzhou business group was able to set up a business school was to take the lead, their place has been a treaty port for more than 100 years, and there are not a few Chinese people who are proficient in foreign languages, even if the government and other places have opened ports to steal some, Guangzhou's heritage cannot be ignored. In addition, among them, Pan Zhencheng cheered them on again and again, and kept instilling Chen Han's economic concept of governing the country into the business community in Guangzhou after the Great Purge. In this way, the Guangzhou business group took the first step!

With the opening of China's great development of foreign trade, the Cantonese businessmen, who watched the Portuguese who were driven out of Macao grow step by step from homeless stray dogs to respectable translators, were sensitive to the lack of foreign trade talents, and the most obvious example of this is the extremely nervous translators everywhere.

Therefore, the Guangzhou business group through its own convenience, early to recruit some 'professional' personnel, first to run foreign language classes, and then found that accounting, sales, management and other aspects of talent are tense, foreign language classes have expanded little by little to accounting classes, talent training classes, training classes and so on. During this period, they also introduced a number of Western-style books from Europe through their old connections. In short, although there are many difficulties in the process of running a school in Guangzhou, the experience and teachers they have accumulated step by step from scratch have become the most valuable wealth now.

In the case that there are no two colleges and universities at the level of the college in a province, the Guangzhou business group suddenly wants to establish a higher private university, and the goal is directly aimed at the 'college', which startled the Guangdong Culture and Education Bureau.

Chen Mingting is in favor of private funds entering the education industry, and this kind of private industrial school is no longer aimed at obtaining merit like traditional academies, but aims to train all kinds of professional talents for business. During this period, the business group as an investor can set the subject arrangement of the school according to its own career needs, which is also to reserve talents for itself. Especially with the 'Dai Peisheng'.

Of course, since it is a private school invested by a business group, it is understandable that it will be colored by profit.

However, the first batch of students recruited by the fledgling business school should be mostly the children of the business group, and the income from tuition fees should be very small. After all, fame takes time and examples. And the word business school, even in Guangzhou City, which is rich in commercial nature, this kind of school specially run for business is also shocking.

In the beginning, the business school was funded entirely by its shareholders, and when it will become truly financially independent depends on China's development. In addition to the traditional courses of Chinese culture and history, Yangcheng Business School also has many professional courses. In the report of Yangcheng Business School, professional subjects such as accounting, shorthand, measurement, and management far exceed those of literature and history in terms of class time and attention.

This determines the great pressure that this 'academy' will inevitably bear after its establishment.

……

In the State Guesthouse, Tanuma Yoshiji was reading a financial daily newspaper from Shanghai, and his face was faintly angry. Not because of anything else, but because the Shanghai Financial Daily satirically attacked Japan's gold-silver comparison.

Although Tanuma Yiji has long noticed the problem of Japan's gold-silver ratio, he also knows very well that Tang Feipeng has always used the goods he shipped from China to exchange for gold in Japan.

After experiencing a high gold and silver ratio of 1:15 in the early Edo period, the gold and silver ratio in Japan gradually slipped to the official price of 1:5 after more than 100 years of isolation from the rest of the country. Among them, the Keicho gold and silver coin system and the minting and circulation of Kanei Tongbao laid a solid foundation for the comparison of gold and silver in Japan.

In the history of the original time and space, Japan, which was beaten by the United States and broke the switch, its tariff power was manipulated by foreigners, and the industrial products of capitalist countries were dumped in large quantities to Japan, while Japan's agricultural products and other raw materials flowed abroad. From 1860 to 1867, Japan's foreign trade exports increased by 2.5 times, while imports increased by 13 times. Japan's own industrial development was seriously hampered, becoming a dumping market for goods and a supplier of raw materials to the Western powers. The influx of high-quality and low-cost goods from the West has dealt a heavy blow to Japan's domestic industry. Since the treaty recognized the free circulation of foreign silver in Japan, Western merchants and embassy personnel took advantage of the fact that the Japanese gold and silver price was much lower than the international exchange rate, and used the Mexican silver dollar to arbitrage Japanese gold and grab huge profits. In order to restrict foreign sailors from exchanging Japanese silver coins for gold, the shogunate set the amount of money that could be exchanged per person per day. So the sailors drew up fake lists and fabricated names at will in order to change more. In this way, only half a year after the opening of the port for trade, the outflow of Japanese gold was 1 million taels.

The financial daily newspaper in Shanghai is completely standing and talking without backache, and satirizes Japan's 'food and old age' in a ridiculous and contemptuous tone. However, he did not know that this set of gold and silver prices, together with Kannaga Tsuho, was one of the important foundations for maintaining the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate. It's not like you can change it if you want to.

The establishment of a unified monetary system is one of the greatest manifestations of centralization. Throughout the reign of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Shogunate controlled most of Japan's important mines, and the control of mines became an important part of the Tokugawa Shogunate's monetary policy.

Tanuma Yoshiji was furious with the newspaper, but he was even more worried about the comparison of gold and silver in Japan.

"It would be nice if the Shogun could triple the price of gold with a single order...... "It would be great."

It's a pity that such an idea is just a senseless delusion of Tanuma Yoshiji. Although the Tokugawa shogunate now ruled Japan, he was unable to order a threefold increase in the price of gold.

The Tokugawa shogunate's royal merchants now came to China to buy goods at three times the unit value of the same weight of gold they had at home. It's all the same money, and one can be used as three flowers in China; In Japan, I can only watch the shrinkage.

"If there is another war between China and Japan...... the dominance of the defeated Tokugawa shogunate in terms of comparison will be far from wonderful. (To be continued.) )
