Talent!
On the one hand, Hubei and Hunan are both places where the literary style flourishes, and on the other hand, the fact is that these traditional scholars may be officials, but they may not be used by the Han Governorate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
What kind of talent is needed now?
What the army and navy need is military personnel who understand military, geography, navigation, artillery, and other professional knowledge, which is indispensable for fighting the world. On the other hand, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army and navy, although a number of government-run enterprises have been established around Wuchang, there is a shortage of technical personnel.
Unlike the craftsmen of China's old era, those state-run enterprises needed skilled workers who were the backbone of modern industry, such as mechanics and steam engine operators, which did not exist in Chinese society before. Of course, this is just an ordinary skilled worker, and a large number of engineers with specialized education are also needed.
As for the Governor's Office, it also needs officials who know modern administrative knowledge such as finance, law, and administration to establish a modern administrative system.
But for China, these are blanks, although a group of students have been sent to stay in Wuchang, although Wenchang Yishu has been set up in Wuchang, but for Zhu Yifeng, he does not have time to wait for ten or even ten years.
He needs to train more talent!
Set up a new school!
This is what Zhu Yifeng really thought when he asked about this matter, and more precisely, the idea that has been brewing for a long time. And not just one school, but several. Among these schools are "apprenticeship schools" for ordinary skilled workers, industrial schools for junior engineers, higher technical schools for engineers, and even universities in the future, of course.
And where do the students of these schools come from?
They can only be selected from the students of traditional education, especially those teenagers who have achieved fame and fame, compared to Bai Ding, who can be illiterate, they may learn traditional Confucianism, but they are all the smartest talents of this era without exception, they can master and learn Western knowledge faster, and grow up by self-exploration and experience in practice.
Just as in another time and space, in that period of change a few decades later, many of the well-known scholars and experts of later generations were born in the old era, and for countries in the transition period between the old and the new, this choice is almost inevitable.
"Set up a school?"
The words of the Grand Governor made Liu Kun feel slightly surprised, so he asked tentatively.
"I don't know what kind of school the Metropolitan Governor is referring to? Could it be that he is familiar with Wenshan? ”
Even as a Hunan scholar Liu Kun has also heard the news about Wenshan Yishu, the so-called Yishu, the teachers are all Western priests, and the scholars are all practicing foreign literature and foreign arts, but as for Chinese articles, they have hardly been involved.
Although he had hoped to get the approval of the Metropolitan Governor before, but when he thought that Hunan's culture and education would be completely destroyed, Liu Kun only felt a sense of mission gathered in his chest, and he immediately spoke urgently.
"Please also ask the Metropolitan Governor to think twice, the Western art is just a sideshow, if I let me study the seeds to learn the Western art, I am afraid that Hunan's hundreds of years of literary style will be ruined!"
Destroy it all!
If it were in the past, maybe Zhu Yifeng would still criticize this kind of thinking, but now, after coming into contact with so many readers of this era, he knows very well how strong the conservative power is in this era, especially in the late Qing Dynasty, Hunan is almost synonymous with conservatism.
There are only two ways for a conservative force, either you destroy him completely, destroy them physically, which is obviously impossible. Because I'm not a butcher.
Or just ignore them and turn a blind eye to them! Crush them with reality in the future and change them!
Seeing that the Metropolitan Governor was silent, Liu Kun's heart suddenly became nervous, but thinking of the fate of Hunan's Wenqi, his somewhat weak heart immediately surged with the thought of "Although tens of millions of people are gone".
"No!"
Shaking his head, Zhu Yifeng said categorically.
"Of course, unlike Wenshan Yishu, this school can be divided into three classes in the future......"
After half-truthing some of his thoughts, Zhu Yifeng specially added.
"Every year, I don't know how many children from poor families are trapped in their studies, and they can only stick to their children's lives for life, and they can achieve nothing in the countryside, so the governor thinks, instead of this, it is better to set up a school, which can solve the urgent needs of the factory, and second, can also give them a livelihood! As for the fame of the talents, well, it would be better if he was willing to enter the higher school, otherwise, the Governor could only choose the best among the children, after all, in the future, these people will be in charge of the factory! After all, those who work hard are the ones who make people! ”
Such an explanation made Liu Kun's generous statement that he had prepared earlier all hold back in his heart, although he didn't believe in the statement of finding a livelihood for the children who failed to make a living, but he couldn't find the right words to refute it for a while, after all, Mo said that it was those children who had not been tested for fame, even if those who were not talented except for a very small number of officials who could enter the official scene, they were often just either familiar teachers in the countryside or merchants. Most of them have lived in poverty. And now the Governor is looking for another livelihood for him, it seems...... There doesn't seem to be any discomfort!
"The Metropolitan Governor, this way of the imperial examination is always the right way in the world, and if the Metropolitan Governor wants to choose talents, he must also take the imperial examination!"
"Not bad! The imperial examination is always the right way! ”
Zhu Yifeng did not deny this, in fact, just this year just began to implement the British civil service system, which was later called "a model and model for the construction of the civil service system in various countries in the world." It was precisely by borrowing from China's imperial examination system that Britain formally established the open competitive examination system more than a decade later, thus establishing an efficient and honest civil service corps.
On the other hand, the imperial examination system, which was used as a reference, became less and less suitable for the requirements of the times, and was eventually completely eliminated after a few decades. However, the abolition of the imperial examination in the late Qing Dynasty was too hasty, and it abolished the imperial examination without establishing a corresponding system for the selection of civil officials through open competitive examinations.
On the one hand, the content of the imperial examination has always stayed on Confucianism, so it is out of touch with modern industrial civilization, and it is unable to educate advanced scientific and technological talents, but the bureaucrats from the imperial examination despise science and become an obstacle to social progress and development; On the other hand, as an ancient system that has been inherited for thousands of years, it itself also reflects some drawbacks that were not discovered at first, such as the formation and development of the Kejia Peng Party, the emergence of new titles such as the so-called lord, the province, and the same year.
Despite this, when there is no suitable replacement in the official election system, Zhu Yifeng will not take the liberty of canceling the imperial examination, after all, although the imperial examination has been out of touch with modern times, it is indeed inseparable from these officials who have been selected through the imperial examination system to govern the country now. The school is a place to cultivate talents, and the school cannot replace the examination system; Replacing exams with schools is a blind reform, and the government should be in the hands of those who are best able to govern it. Government officials are not inherently belonging to a particular class, but are to be selected through a system of competitive examinations that are open to all who volunteer to take the examinations.
However, at this time, his sentence "the imperial examination always selects talents and the right way" has another meaning, and the "right path" he refers to refers to the method of "open competition and selection of talents" in the imperial examination, rather than the content of the imperial examination.
"The Governor of the Metropolis is wise!"
Liu Kun hurriedly got up and bowed and folded his fart, when the Metropolitan Governor said this, it made him breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, as if he wanted the Metropolitan Governor to take it back from the crooked and evil way, and a little pride surged in his heart.
As for the following, Zhu Yifeng gave some other instructions to Liu Kun, such as asking him to do a survey on how many scholars in Hubei and Hunan, how many talented people among these scholars, how many children there are, and their ages, etc., for this kind of investigation, according to Zhu Yifeng, he wants to find out "my Huguang's literary style", but in fact, he wants to find out the "level of education" and make some preliminary preparations for the implementation of education in the future, perhaps ten years later.
After everything was arranged and Liu Kun left, Zhu Yifeng picked up the letter that had just been sent from Wuchang, the letter was sent by Lingyun, although it was a private letter, but it was the official mail, which is also the only "postal system" established by the governor's office now, but it is not open to the outside world for the time being, but it is only for the government and the army to send letters.
Before tearing up the letter, Zhu Yifeng originally thought that the content of the letter was the words of some children's elders, but after just a slight glance at the content, his whole face suddenly changed suddenly, and even at that moment, he only felt a burst of anger in his chest that he had never felt before.
"Shameless!"
After a scolding, the angry Zhu Yifeng swept the teacup on the table to the ground with a slam.
Bang!
The sound of shattering sounded in the study. Crystal fragments, shattered thoroughly, shattered clearly. It is difficult to reround the broken mirror. If it's broken, it's broken, and it can't be rounded no matter what!
And Zhu Yifeng stood up even more annoyed, and said sharply,
"I'm going to kill him...... Gotta kill him......"
I have to kill this bastard, how can I treat you poorly, you will actually ...... Annoyed in his heart, Zhu Yifeng couldn't wait to catch that person right now and break his body into pieces. But reason told him that this matter must not be known to outsiders...... After all, he's so embarrassed! This will even make him understand why the emperor has to be a eunuch!
"Damn ......"
Looking at the letter sent by Lingyun again, Zhu Yifeng slowly calmed down, but in the end he just gritted his teeth and said.
"It seems that the only way to do this is ...... That's all it can do! ”
As he said this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly.
"When Lao Tzu hits Shaanxi, he will ...... then" (to be continued.) )
