After the New Year, Tang Zhou focused on the construction of the school and the recruitment of students. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the school was built, Tang Zhou decided to start recruiting students, so that after the school was built, these students would be able to attend classes immediately.

Because Liuzhou does not have the habit of letting its own children go to school, it is very difficult to let those children study in the school, so it is basically undesirable to ask the parents of students to pay high admission fees like other schools.

Originally, these people didn't want their children to go to school, and you still charged tuition, so they were afraid that they would be even more reluctant to go to school, so Tang Zhou stipulated that students in the academy did not have to pay any fees to go to school, and if students in the academy wanted to go to school, they must go through the assessment, and if they passed the assessment, they could study in the college for free, and if they were not qualified, they could pay money.

There is a difference between a school and an academy.

The main students in the school are those between the ages of five and ten, and the main thing to teach them is some reading enlightenment, such as literacy, arithmetic, and some relatively simple books, so that they are no longer so ignorant, so that they can understand some of the most basic principles of life.

The college mainly accepts students over the age of fifteen, these people may have studied before, but they have not obtained any fame, there are still many such people in Liuzhou City, they may not continue to study because of family conditions, or they may give up for other reasons, but as long as they are willing to continue studying, they can come to take the entrance exam, as long as they pass, any fees in the college in the future are free, of course, those who fail have to pay some money, or take the exam again in the next entrance exam.

The reason why this is so is because most of the people who pass have good qualifications, and after they work hard for a few years, they may be able to achieve something, and those who do not pass will inevitably lack some talent, but Tang Zhou is still willing to give them a chance, but this opportunity needs to be bought with money, of course, Tang Zhou will not let them pay too much money, just a symbolic charge.

And between the school and the college, there is a transitional half college, the main object of the half college is those children in the school, the children of the school after a few years of study in the school, if the grades are excellent, you can enter the half college, the half college will learn a lot more, in addition to some of the principles of doing things, they will also come into contact with some books to be tested in the imperial examination.

After a few years of study in the semi-college, they can pass the assessment to enter the college, and then they will learn more things.

This system is similar to the primary school, junior high school, high school, and university in Tang Zhou's previous life, because it is the first year, so there are no students in the semi-college, and there are only schools and colleges at the beginning.

The students taught in the academy are those who have never read before, but they really want to read young people, they are in the best learning age, which is the hope of Liuzhou City in the future, and the academy is mainly those who have studied and experienced before.

It's just that when Tang Zhou announced these admission conditions, there were many people who wanted to take the exam like the college, but there were not many people who could enter the hall.

Liuzhou is very big, and there are people who have read books, they used to study, in fact, they thought about taking the imperial examination, but later they had to give up for various reasons, and now that Tang Zhou has given them a chance, they naturally want to try again.

It's like a dream, when the opportunity comes, everyone will be a little unwilling.

These people are a little unwilling, their knowledge may not be high, but they are desperate to learn in their hearts.

The college did not encounter any problems in recruitment, which made Tang Zhou feel very pleased, and after some assessment, it also accepted more than 50 students with good qualifications, as well as more than 30 students who failed but wanted to study.

But no one in the school was willing to come, which made Tang Zhou worried.

Although the school is inconspicuous and cannot participate in the imperial examination soon, the school is the hope of Liuzhou City, and whether Liuzhou City will continue to be as ignorant as it is now, or become a city of scholars, it all depends on the students in the school.

If many children don't learn from an early age, can they be expected to learn when they grow up?

The school is the foundation and the cornerstone.

Tang Zhou wondered, why didn't those children want to go to school if they weren't allowed to call for tuition?

This reminded Tang Zhou of when he used to go to school, the tuition fee for his school in his previous life was a large amount of money spent by his family every year, and his parents still did everything they could to let him go to school, because going to school can change his fate.

Don't these people want to change their fate?

Tang Zhou knew that there must be a reason for this situation, so he took people to the people to investigate.

On this day, Tang Zhou and his family came to a family, this family is a farmer, there are many children in the family, after Tang Zhou saw him, he asked him why he refused to let his children go to school.

Although the farmer was a little nervous, he still told Tang Zhou his thoughts.

"Little Hou Ye, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I really can't send it, our family has been farming for generations, and my family has a large population, if you send the eldest son to school, who will do the work in the field? If there is no one to do the work in the fields, we will not be able to feed this large family. ”

Speaking of this, the farmer said: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the little marquis, just my child, where is the material for school?" Besides, what's the use of going to school? He couldn't get into the Jinshi exam, and in the end, he couldn't even plant the land, do you want him to eat and wait for death like those showmen? It's better to learn to farm honestly. ”

On this day, Tang Zhou went to another shop, which had a son who did not go to school.

"Little Hou Ye, what do you do at school? It's better to follow me to do business, and he doesn't need to know much about words, as long as he can count, like us businessmen, how many can be admitted to the imperial examination? And when he goes to school, then I have time to learn how to do business, and in the end, he will not lose my business? ”

"We've been like this for several lifetimes, and it's good to pass it on from generation to generation."

Tang Zhou asked a lot of people, and the results were basically the same, either they asked their children to help with the work, or they felt that it was useless to go to school, they had no chance to be admitted to the Jinshi or something, it was better to learn a craft or something.

After investigating these, Tang Zhou felt that if he wanted to change the learning atmosphere in Liuzhou City, the most important thing was to change the people's theory that reading was useless, and he had to change their concepts and make them feel that reading was useful.

Even if studying does not allow them to be admitted to Jinshi, reading will help them do anything in the future.

They have to be made aware of this.

But how difficult it is to persuade people to learn.

If they are forced to go to school, it is not impossible, but it cannot completely change the situation, it is easy to make people obedient, but it is difficult to change people's concepts.

You can make someone obey you on the surface, but can you make someone obey you with all their hearts?

The difficulty of the two is obvious.
