Chapter 366: The Foundation of the Nation (First Update)

Jingzhou is the most remote Zhili Prefecture in the west of Hunan, the state city is not big, of course, it is not prosperous, the city wall built in the Ming Dynasty is like a yellow dragon that rises and falls and twists and turns and lies tightly on the bank of the Qujiang River, although it is said that the Qujiang River can pass through wooden boats, but because the Qujiang River does not pass to other places, it is just a river that leads to the outside world in Jingzhou.

Hundreds of years ago, after Wei Liaoweng, the head of the Song Dynasty's Ministry of Industry, was demoted to live in Jingzhou, he put aside the honor and disgrace and gave lectures at the Heshan Academy in Jingcheng Chunfupo. Although seven years later, Wei Liaoweng was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he left the seeds of reading in Jingzhou, a remote place where Han and Miao lived.

Heshan Academy is located on the top of the mountain, four into the courtyard, gradually rise, the eaves are warped, simple and elegant, it is a major monument in Jingzhou, there are dozens of wide stone steps under the academy. For hundreds of years, I don't know how many Jingzhou scholars have studied with this to gain fame, but since last year, this academy with a history of hundreds of years has no longer received money and food from the government, and the money and food that should have been given to the academy have been given by the government to the "Qizhi Primary School" in the city, which has just been established for a few months. Naturally, the gentlemen and scholars of the academy complained about this, but they were powerless to change this fact.

Primary schools are undoubtedly new to the people in Jingzhou City, and the more new things are to study here, there is no need to be bound, the teachers of the primary school are all hired by the provincial government, and they are paid ten yuan a month by the government. I don't know how many local scholars in Jingzhou are blushing, and Wang Tianming, who is naturally red-eyed, and other "primary school teachers" who are not even talented children.

It is precisely because of the knowledge that many people are jealous of themselves that Wang Tianming and the other eleven teachers of the school will be conscientious in teaching knowledge, and in the past few months, they have used the teaching wall charts brought back from the provincial capital to teach students to read and write, and to understand the geography of China's mountains and rivers through the wall charts. Because books are more expensive and not every student can afford them, the teaching in schools is based on teaching wall charts, and there are no textbooks for both rich and poor students. Not only do the students not have textbooks, but even when they write in class, they use a brush dipped in water to write on the small stone slab on the table, and practice with the small stone slab. As for paper, it is not used in the classroom because it needs to be purchased, and the purpose is to reduce the expenses of poor families.

Standing in class and looking at the students sitting in front of them, all of whom are seated according to their test scores, they are of all ages, boys on the left and girls on the right, all of whom were admitted in July last year.

Last year, in order to let the children aged 7 to 14 in the school district go to school, Mr. Chen, who is also the principal of Qizhi Primary School, even personally lobbied from house to house, regardless of whether his family was rich or poor, and in the end he was sincerely moved by Mr. Chen, and most of his children were sent to school, at least one child, and everyone did not dare not give Mr. Chen this face.

Today is the final exam, and students will hand in their answer sheets today after four months of studying at the school. This answer sheet is also testing him as a teacher. Wang Tianming looked at the students and asked.

"What is learning?"

Immediately a student in the classroom raised his hand, and he pointed to one of them.

"Li Ci!"

"Learning, knowledge, easy to learn, almost knowing, learning, effective. Those who are closer and more aware learn. Scholars, learn what they can't learn. ”

After the student answered this question, Wang Tianming nodded.

"Good!"

Then he wrote the correct answer on the blackboard.

"Let's read it together!"

"Learning, knowledge, easy to learn, almost knowing, learning, effective. Those who are closer and more aware learn. Scholars, learn what they can't learn. ”

After the students repeated the recitation twice, Wang Tianming then looked at the students and said.

"Learn, know, learn, effect, scholar, learn what you can't learn! Today's exam is based on what you have learned in April, and I hope you can play it normally. Remember, don't be nervous, okay, I hope you all get good grades! ”

Around them, eight parent representatives sat around them and watched, and the examiner, as well as two officials from the state government, all sat upright. That's why I went to this open way to ensure that the exam was fair and impartial, even though it was only a one-year final exam for elementary school. Still, the state government sent a number of officials to oversee it.

The content of the exam is divided into notes such as Chinese studies and arithmetic, and after the students received the paper for the exam, Wang Tianming wrote out the test questions on the blackboard and explained the content of the exam to the students.

The students who received the test papers, after hearing the test questions, immediately picked up the brush and wrote on the test paper, while the students were writing the test papers, the parents on the side looked a little nervous, they were actually worried about their own children in the other classroom. Worried about their test results, the officials sent by the state government are on the sidelines to fulfill the responsibility of supervision.

During the exam, Chen Tianlong, who is the governor of Jingzhou, was paraded back and forth outside the classroom, wearing civilian clothes and looking no different from ordinary teachers, in fact, he is also one of the teachers of this school, and he is also the principal here. The reason why the magistrate is also the principal of the primary school is a requirement of the prefecture, not only to show the importance of the primary school in this way, but also to avoid local resistance, there are magistrates in the school, the local traditional scholars at least dare not slander the primary school, the fear of officials for thousands of years has long penetrated into their bones.

"There are 396 students in the school, divided into ten classes, and it is estimated that there may be one or two more first grades next year, Yuting, as a student administrator, you must first investigate how many students will be enrolled next year, and you need to add a few teachers......

It stands to reason that Chen Tianlong, who is the governor of Zhizhou, is the superior of Zhao Yunqin, but as the principal of Qizhi Primary School, he is under his jurisdiction, after all, the school affairs are responsible for supervising the county's school affairs.

"My lord, there will be 96 people of school age next year, and there is no problem in opening two classes, but at least three teachers need to be added, including a full-time physical education teacher."

Unlike traditional private schools, where students only study in private schools, physical education is also compulsory in primary schools, and any primary school must build a playground for students to take physical education.

"There is no problem in increasing the number of teachers, the funding of the primary school is directly subsidized by the government, and the business tax in the state will also increase next year, so the salaries of the teachers are not a problem at all."

Chen Tianlong, who thought that Zhao Yunqin was worried about salary and financial issues, specially emphasized again.

"You are a school officer, just run a good school, I am Zhizhou, I will find a way to fund this school!"

"My lord misunderstood, I'm not worried about the current funds, but about the future!"

Looking at the adults, Zhao Yunqin expressed his worries.

"My lord, according to the ancestors set the school system for three years, the reason why this year recruited ten classes, is because of the past dynasties, there has never been such a primary school, naturally there are a lot of students, now there are only two classes next year, the year after next two classes, when the time comes, the whole school will have 14 classes, at least 17 teachers are needed, and when the time comes, there will be a problem, that is, ten classes will graduate at the same time, after the students graduate, the three grades of the school may only have six to nine classes, then there will be at least 7 teachers left, My lord, how will these teachers be placed when the time comes? I'm worried about this issue right now. ”

This is indeed a problem, because the reason why most of the classes in the first grade of elementary school are accumulated over the years is that there was no such universal education in the past. When this group of children graduates, otherwise there will not be so many students, and then the redundant teachers will become a problem.

"Not a problem at all!"

Shaking his head, Chen Yunlong said.

"When the time comes, you can run a high school!"

Like the primary school, the upper elementary school is also three years old, but now there is only one higher elementary school in Wuchang.

"My lord, there is only one higher school in the government, and that is because of the teachers, and now the teachers in the school do not have the ability to teach higher primary schools, of course, they can teach Chinese language, but they cannot teach arithmetic, geography, English and science ...... higher primary schools."

Zhao Yunqin's answer made Chen Yunlong say disappreciatively.

"I can't learn it, arithmetic, geography, and English are not difficult to learn, when I was in the Examiner's Academy, I didn't know arithmetic, I didn't know English, and in a year, I learned it, well......"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yunlong looked at Zhao Yunqin and said:

"They won't, but we will, isn't it going to be winter vacation? Students can take vacations, but they get salaries, they can't just take vacations, when the time comes, let's teach them arithmetic, English, I still don't believe it, in three years they will not be able to learn? ”

In three years, of course, they can learn, these teachers who were born as children, there are a few stupid people, they are all smart people, as long as they want to, they can quickly learn arithmetic, English.

"My lord, is this okay? Teachers of higher primary schools, however, are required to undergo at least one year of training in the provincial capital. ”

Zhao Yunqin asked rhetorically, which made Chen Yunlong smile.

"The three-year vacation can have nine months, and the holiday in the provincial capital is removed, and it is so long, when the time comes, it is enough to let them participate in the unified examination, sharpen the knife and not chop wood, and those who pass the examination will give them the qualifications of higher primary school teachers, and those who do not pass will continue to take the primary school, there is no need to wait for the provincial capital to send teachers from the upper primary school, how many states and counties are there in Hunan? If I wait, how long will I have to wait, three or five years? ”

Although he is not from Hunan, Chen Yunlong knows that what he is doing now is something that will be done for a thousand years, just like Wei Liaoweng in the Song Dynasty, who has been an official for hundreds of years.

"A lot of things, we are doing first, after having a high school, we can run a middle school, and in the future, they can go to the provincial capital to take the university entrance examination, after all, ......"

In silence, Chen Yunlong looked at the students in the classroom who were answering questions.

"The world has changed now, and it is not enough to rely on famous teachings......
