Liangguang Excellent Normal Affiliated High School.

The school was very calm, and the teachers and students were as usual and did not feel that there was anything special about today.

However, most of the students and teachers did not know that Wang Hengyue, the generalissimo of the Guangzhou Revolutionary Army, had quietly come here.

Education in Guangdong is very developed, and the Guangya Academy, founded by Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang, has changed the subjects to include foreign languages and mathematics, and sent students with good grades to study abroad, which is a typical example of education reform; Guangzhou also established early childhood and women's education, such as the construction of "Mengxuetang" and "Mengyang Yuan", the first girls' school run by foreigners in Guangdong, Zhenguang Academy; It was also the first to offer a physical education course, the first co-educational school.

However, due to the war, education in Guangdong has also been damaged to a certain extent!

Education first, these four words are not put on the lips.

Among the people who accompanied Wang Hengyue, there was another person that everyone hadn't thought of before:

Chen Jiongming, chief of military and political axes and civil affairs.

That former follower of Sun Yat-sen.

No one knows how the Generalissimo kept this man and promised to be the chief of civil affairs. But Wang Hengyue knows very well that Chen Jiongming is actually very capable, this person is in favor of the feminist movement, advocates the right to education, and opposes Sun Yat-sen's unrealistic Northern Expedition, especially in the strict prohibition of opium, and Wang Hengyue has the same firm attitude. This person is extremely incorruptible, and as a dignified warlord, he didn't even have a coffin when he died.

And China's "633 education system" was created by this person.

"This is Cai Yiguang, the principal of the Affiliated Middle School of the Normal School, and this is Mr. Wu Zaimin Wu Dingxin, who was awarded the plaque of 'Jiaofu Territorial Waters' by the state government."

Wang Hengyue shook hands with them one by one, and sat down, Wang Hengyue said straight to the point: "Mr. Dingxin, you are famous for running education, this time you returned to Guangdong, I heard that you are going to organize a group to go to Yueben for investigation, I don't think it is necessary." My chief of staff, Jiang Baili, also spent time in Yueben, and he said that there are two things that are most undesirable in Yueben, one is military affairs, and the other is education. ”

"Oh, is that Mr. Jiang Fangzhen?" Wu Zaimin was a little curious: "He actually said that this education is the most undesirable?" ”

"Not bad." Wang Hengyue nodded: "So I think you don't have to go, stay in the country and serve as my chief of education." ”

For this appointment, Wu Zaimin was a little surprised.

I want to do a good job in education, but over the years, the government has rewarded me a lot for my empty heads, but in fact I have given little help, which makes me want to go overseas and seek a new way of education.

But at this time, the generalissimo of the military and political axe forced himself to stay.

"How is the president going to run education?" Wu Zaimin groaned.

Wang Hengyue glanced at Chen Jiongming: "Jingcun and I have an education reform plan, the 633 system, that is, six years of primary school, three years of junior high school, and three years of high school."

This system was first proposed and prepared by Chen Jiongming, and Wang Hengyue didn't want to rob him of his credit.

"Education is a great cause for the prosperity of the nation and the strength of the country." Chen Jiongming said: "In addition to the 633 system, there is also the implementation of the curriculum system, home visit system, extracurricular activities system and so on. ”

Wang Hengyue's face was solemn: "Education is the foundation of everything, I discussed with Jingcun for more than 10 days, and prepared to promulgate the 'Revitalization Education Order', which clearly put forward the three major contents of China's education and the two methods for revitalizing education; I will strictly order the army not to occupy a single classroom or dormitory in the school, and those who violate the order will be severely punished. Once it can be successful in Guangdong, then this experience will be replicated in all spheres of influence of the military and political axes. ”

Wu Zaimin was a little surprised, it was unheard of to forcibly enforce the education law in the form of a military order, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed a practical method.

It seems that this generalissimo is really determined to run education!

Wang Hengyue and Chen Jiongming seriously discussed the education reform plan, and combined with Wang Hengyue's previous experience in running education in Sichuan and other places, the two decided to implement a series of education reforms in the Guangdong Demonstration Zone.

It was decided to establish a teachers' college, with a one-year school duration, to recruit second- and third-year students in secondary normal schools for professional training in educational administration and educational management. After graduation, he was assigned to serve as the principal of each county elementary school.

Abolish the old content such as self-cultivation and Bible reading, add subjects such as physics and chemistry, shorten the teaching time, and carry out extracurricular activities, so as to ensure that students are rational and trustworthy, not blindly obey, and cultivate students' self-government.

The requirements for universal education will also be extremely strict, requiring all counties under the protection zone to establish regular primary and secondary schools, so that "one township and one school" will be achieved, and private schools will be prohibited.

In order to popularize civilian education, Chen Wang Hengyue also planned to set up work-study schools, civilian night schools, commercial schools, foreign Chinese language schools, and women's home economics and highway training centers in various areas of the Dharma Protection Zone.

At the same time, Wang Hengyue prepared to set up an "education committee" and invited Mr. Cheng Dufu, a native of Anhui Province and former president of liberal arts at Yenching University, to serve as the chairman of the education committee.

The Board of Education is the highest educational administrative body in the Protectorate. Its functions are to establish the education system of the Protectorate; inspect and supervise the educational performance of the Dharma Protection Zone; In charge of the education funds and budget settlement of the Protector District; Appoint and dismiss the principals of major and technical schools in the Protector District and the directors of the county education bureaus.

In the Guangdong Demonstration Zone, Wang Hengyue stipulated that two-tenths of the province's fiscal revenue should be used for education, and that the designated education funds should be kept by the educational organs, and no matter what kind of government funds were used, they should not be misappropriated.

All people, regardless of gender, are obliged to receive six years of education from the age of seven; In addition, the establishment of girls' education is included in the scope of legal protection.

Private schools are encouraged, and the military and political axes will vigorously assist.

Strengthening the teaching staff is key, and the expansion and construction of new normal schools are also on the agenda.

The education revitalization package was clearly put in front of everyone.

It is the dream of Wang Hengyue, Chen Jiongming and others to become a strong country in education, and if any dream can be completed, someone must take the first step.

With the Northern Expedition imminent and funds urgently needed everywhere, Wang Hengyue gritted his teeth and allocated a large amount of funds for education.

"Generalissimo, I am willing to be the chief of education." After hearing this, Wu Zaimin no longer hesitated: "Education to strengthen the country, that is the foundation of a strong country, the generalissimo not only thinks so, but also does it." Throughout China, warlords were fighting each other, and everyone wanted to seize more power, but only the generalissimo focused on education. I don't think there should be any Guangdong demonstration zones, and they should be promulgated and implemented directly in the legal protection zone. ”

Wang Hengyue groaned there.

I have also thought about implementing this education package directly in the Dharma protection area, but the financial pressure is too great.

Wu Zaimin saw the generalissimo's worries: "The generalissimo is worried about funds, and this can be partially solved by raising funds at home and abroad, as well as public education funds." I personally will donate 300,000 yuan to help the Generalissimo succeed! ”

"300,000 yuan." Chen Jiongming gasped: "Is Mr. Dingxin going bankrupt?" ”

"For China's education plan, what's the harm of going bankrupt." Wu Zaimin said arrogantly: "Is there such a 'big warlord' who pays attention to education, if we don't seize this opportunity and complete the dream of building a strong country through education, I am afraid that I will regret it for the rest of my life in the future!" ”

"Okay, I'll be this big warlord who pays attention to education." Wang Hengyue laughed "haha": "I will give you what you want, and I will have whatever kind of support you need." In a word, education is the foundation of everything. ”

Wu Zaimin sighed: "It's not easy, it's not easy." In the pre-Qing Dynasty, how many people had the dream of building a strong country through education, but some came to naught. There was also an education revitalization package in Yuan Shikai's time, but after he ascended the throne as emperor, everything came to naught. Today I finally saw the generalissimo come out again! ”

Wang Hengyue smiled slightly:

"Someone has to come out to do these things, there will always be someone who will unify China to reunify China, the north or the south, in fact, it doesn't matter, the important thing is education. In the past, when I formed the army in Rong County, I asked the soldiers to be illiterate, in order to blindly and absolutely obey, but that was only a stopgap measure, and now it is very different. An army without faith and culture can win a hundred victories, but it cannot be defeated, and once defeated, it can never be recovered. ”

Chen Jiongming and Wu Zaimin nodded frequently.

Wang Hengyue stood up and looked out the window, it was the time for recess.

The students were happily running and chasing each other outdoors, and from time to time there was laughter and laughter, completely unaware that in this small office a national surname education plan had been implemented.

"How many of these students can be trained for the country?" Wang Hengyue suddenly asked.

"Many, many, many." Chen Jiongming stood beside him: "These people are the future of the country and the hope of the nation, China has a population of 40,000,000, and there is also hope for 40,000,000. I have always been disapproving of the Northern Expedition, and I have even had many heated arguments with Mr. Sun Wen about it, but now I hope that the Northern Expedition will come soon, and only in this way can we fulfill all our dreams and carry out education throughout the country. ”

Wang Hengyue pursed his lips and stood there without saying a word.

The dream of becoming a strong country in education has begun, and no matter how difficult it is, it must be firmly implemented.

Only in this way can the blueprint in one's mind be realized little by little, and the plan for a greater China can be rolled out little by little in an orderly manner.

No matter how difficult the road is, I have already set off, even if I walk with blood flowing from my feet, even if I hit my head and break my blood, I will not regret it, someone has to take this difficult road!
