Education at the end of the Ming Dynasty, like all dynasties in history, was in the hands of the big family, which also determined that the court was also manipulated by these people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 However, there is a special phenomenon in the late Ming Dynasty, that is, with the germination of national capital and commercial capital, these people want to play a greater role and bring greater benefits to themselves after they have a certain wealth base, so these capitals began to choose to cultivate their own mouthpiece, that is, their own interest spokesperson, which is the prerequisite for the birth of the Donglin Party. With the support of huge financial resources, the Donglin Party also quickly developed into a major tumor in the imperial court at that time, Feng Youcai was deeply distressed, to put it mildly, these people are talking about misleading the country, and to put it more seriously, they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they only have the interests of businessmen in their eyes.

This is the so-called economic base determines the superstructure. Since the economic base has changed, if the superstructure does not follow the changes, it will not be matched, which will definitely lead to problems in the building.

Since he knows the destructive power of education to society after being controlled by interest groups, Feng Youcai also wants to carry out universal education, but the huge cost of investing in education in this era is many times more than his previous life, and it is not at all something that a small family can afford now, so it is necessary to change the education model and reduce the cost of education.

In this era, there was no universal dictionary, and all literacy was taught by teachers, which determined that it was impossible for each teacher to teach many students at the same time, which was also an important aspect of the high cost of education.

After a few days of contemplation, I feel that it is impossible to make a dictionary, so I can first get the blackboard and chalk, at least to change the mode of hand-to-hand teaching, to expand the enrollment scale, and then to screen students year by year and divide them according to their strengths, so that the cost of education may be reduced.

Just do it, Feng Youcai came to the wood factory and told the technician his requirements, and the technician replied that he wanted to make one first, and now there is no guarantee that it will be easy to use; Feng Youcai found some lime and clay again, and made some chalk by himself according to different proportions, which could be used after drying.

A few days later, Feng Youcai came to the woodware factory again with chalk, and the result of the test was that the chalk was easy to slip when writing, the reason may be that the blackboard is too smooth, or it may be that the chalk is too hard, but the effect is still very good, Feng Youcai is not ready to continue the experiment by himself, and directly handed over this task to the woodware factory, so that they can test the production of chalk and the production of the blackboard, and find out a reasonable degree of fit, which is nothing more than the chalk is softer, or the surface of the blackboard is rougher.

For teachers, now a total of more than 40 Xiucai is recruited, and now they are assigned to various townships, the current school has not been built, and they are all helping the township government, and in the future, these Xiucai will mainly teach students to read and learn Chinese courses, as for history courses, geography courses, mathematics courses, natural science courses, etc., are all teachers who are synthesized from the system, and do not want students to be led astray by these old pedants. The teaching materials are all compiled by the synthetic teacher and Feng Youcai according to the memory of the previous life, and the best language is to recognize words, read books, and write articles; Mathematics courses mainly focus on Arabic numerals, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, abacus, as well as unary and binary equations, plane geometry and solid geometry, etc. Physics and chemistry can reach the junior high level of the previous life; History and Geography are added to World History and World Geography.

Feng Youcai asked them to move their families to a thousand households, allocated land, houses, cattle and sheep, and distributed the same salary, food and salt as the chief flag officer every month, so as to ensure that they had no worries about their lives and let them teach with peace of mind.

The school can only be built in April and May, and there is a simple decoration, and it can only be used in June, so Feng Youcai decided to enroll students in July and August, and open school at the end of August, this time as long as you are willing to go to school, you can go to school between the ages of 7 and 12. Now it is required to live on campus to study, go home once every 10 days, 2 days each time, and the school provides food, accommodation, clothing, bedding, etc. Anyway, now Feng Youcai has a lot of grain and mutton, and then he can buy some vegetables from the countryside, and then hire a few rural women alone to help cook, and take care of these students. With the experience of running a school in Zhenguanbao, it is enough to just promote it.

In order to provide books for learning, Feng Youcai decided to set up a bookstore, specializing in education services, the printing industry in this era has been highly developed, as long as there is a high salary, it will definitely hire a master of engraving, this work will be handed over to the workshop management department to do, can not delay the children's door at the end of August to start school.

For the construction of schools in each township, the township mayor personally grasps the requirements, and the drawing requirements are unified by thousands of households, equipped with student dormitories, teachers' dormitories, classrooms, rooms, warehouses and other necessary buildings, as for the rest to adapt to local conditions. The materials for the construction of the school are purchased by the local township itself, and then go to the Qianhu office to report the accounts, and the wages are also paid by the Qianhuo, but they are all provided with grain.

Desks and chairs are uniformly made by the workshop, and they will be distributed to each township at that time.

Zhang Yang was very dissatisfied with Feng Youcai's huge investment in education, "Young master, this investment is too big, and they are simply enemies, these people grow up, even if they become talents, they must serve the imperial court, few people will think of you, when you rebel, they will be your enemies." ”

"Haha, when they grow up, maybe we have already laid down the country, and if we want to serve the court, then we should serve me. At that time, they will all be protégés of the Son of Heaven, and they will be very honored. ”

Zhang Yang said: "Young master, you are too naïve, every time you change the dynasty, it can't be completed overnight, it will definitely last for a long time, how can it be so easy." It is to occupy all the big cities, even the north and south Zhili have been occupied, the capital has also been captured, and the emperor has also been captured, but there are still many feudal kings who have escaped? How many hearts will be moving forward in the country? Will these people continue to lurk and look for opportunities to fight back or rebel? In any case, you must be a rebel in the eyes of some people, not all of them will support you, and there must be some of these people you have cultivated who oppose you. ”

"Is it because of this that there is no education? This kind of thinking of yours is just a waste of food because of choking, or you can't do it. Now they are my people, and I should be good to them, even if they oppose me in the future, it will definitely be a minority, and I can't let the majority of those who support me lose the opportunity to get an education because a few people may oppose me. “

Zhang Yang asked again: "Then does the young master preach loyalty and patriotism at school or not?" “

Feng Youcai was also very conflicted about this, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "It must be to promote loyalty and patriotism, but it can't be excessively promoted, and it is necessary to cultivate students' ability to think independently, so I have added a lot of natural science knowledge, hoping to guide it to the good side, besides, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, it's too early to think about this." “

"There is no foresight, there must be near-term worries, since the young master wants to cultivate the lineage, then he must think about it in advance, but I still agree with the young master's strategy of diverting and focusing on cultivation in advance, if there are good seedlings, they can be educated separately, which can reduce the chance of cultivating into an enemy."

"It's too early to say this, take your time, anyway, there is a lot of time, and if there is anything wrong, you can always change it. However, I believe that there is still a majority of people who support me, so we must do a good job in education for now. ”
