"Teacher, why do you want to set up this new international student academy, can't you directly let them go to the Tang Dynasty official school like the four schools of Guozijian? Why do you have to ask them to form another international student college, isn't it troublesome? I think that the people who have learned from the court officials are enough to let them learn a lot of things, and there is really no need to do more! Ren Yaxiang said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shi Bufan smiled and asked: "Why, you haven't gotten tired of running errands in Zhongshu Province?" ”

"Well......" Ren Yaxiang couldn't say a word, because he was an errand runner in Zhongshu Province.

Although Ren Yaxiang is now serving in Zhongshu Province and is still an eight-rank official, his life is not very good. Although many people envy him for being able to serve in Zhongshu Province, how can he experience the taste? Many grassroots cadres want to serve in high-level departments, and it is best to ascend to the sky and reach the central government in one step, so that they are close to the core, and the future is immeasurable!

But when I really got to the center, it obviously didn't feel so good. Because when you arrive in the capital, there are often not many other things in the capital, that is, there are many officials. The capital is the place with the most officials, and some people even say that there are more officials in the capital than there are dogs in the capital. In this case, the real power of those petty officials of the big yamen can be known, although those are not of low grade, but the real real power is not large, and the power directly held is not large, just an errand runner.

"Well, it's just a siege. The people on the outside want to go in, but the people inside want to come out. You've all worked in the Zhongshu Province now, and I don't really plan to help me in there. However, now that you have accumulated experience, you know the process of the imperial court center, and you can only know the decision-making process of the imperial court, and you can just improve your horizons. ”

"As for the next, you can really exercise your management ability, so that you can really learn all kinds of other management skills, and it will be more convenient to be promoted in the future."

However, Ren Yaxiang still asked: "Master, then why do you want to set up this international student college in person, isn't this an extra move?" ”

Shi Bufan didn't answer directly, just brought a piece of white paper, and then splashed the ink on the inkstone next to him directly onto the white paper. The white paper suddenly became black, and there were not many white places at all.

Then Shi Bufan said to Ren Yaxiang: "Ren Yaxiang, if I ask you to paint on this piece of paper and let you paint a beautiful landscape, how do you say you will draw?" ”

Ren Yaxiang saw this white paper that was almost completely blackened by black ink, and then immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you are difficult for a strong man!" This piece of paper has become so black that I can't draw it well, not even any painter in the world. Even I don't think Yan Liben can draw anything, this is too dark, and there is no possibility of drawing it at all. ”

"Very well, now that you know this, you should know what I want to do?" Shi Bufan asked.

Ren Yaxiang was suddenly surprised: "Master, do you want to change the current school system of my Datang?" ”

"Haha, smart, that's right, I just want to carry out the reform of my Datang school system. However, my hand can't reach for the school system, so I can only find another way. What's more, my Datang school system has become a huge experience since ancient times, even if I barely need to change it, it will be difficult to modify anything good. It's like this painting, you see this painting is black everywhere, it's impossible to change it. ”

"And the best way is to find another blank piece of paper and draw this painting separately, so that everything can be well bypassed. If I were to say that I wanted to change the school system, it would inevitably lead to unanimous opposition from the Ministry of Rites and scholars of various traditions, because human inertia is very fatal. Once they have adapted to a certain habit, it is very difficult to get them to change. Especially those who have some academic achievements are often old men. Although they may not have much power, they are very stable in terms of academics, and they are all beneficiaries of the old school system, so they will naturally support the old school system. ”

"If I change rashly, not to mention whether I have the right to intervene, even if I reluctantly want to intervene, then I will inevitably be opposed. That's not suitable for me, so I simply bypassed this old government school and set up another school. This is the origin of the College for International Students. ”

"Although this international student college is the official school of Datang, it is also a blank slate. I took advantage of my special status as an international student to take over the international student college as the host and guest and take over the position of supervisor myself. And this special status as an international student will be the best excuse for me to change my academic system. I used this status as an international student as an excuse to change the school system, not to adopt the school system that I have always had in Datang, which seems reasonable, even those old Confucians can't criticize me for anything. In this way, I was able to bypass the so-called traditional resistance. ”

"In the same way, once I, the international students of the International Student College, study fast and the effect is very good, and they can also save the cost of education, then in the future, I don't need to say more, the students in the official schools in the imperial court will also force those official schools to adopt the academic system of my international student college. I make a model, as long as this model is good, it will naturally be seen by everyone, and after seeing the benefits, more people will inevitably follow the example. ”

"How many reforms in the world are stillborn? Too many people are in too much of a hurry, hoping to change the world all at once, and as a result, this comes and goes quickly. I might as well erect another model, so that when everyone sees the benefits, they don't need me to force them, and they themselves will start from the bottom and force them to make the court and princes start to change. Those who benefit will also be forced to go up with me. ”

Ren Yaxiang hurriedly said for a while: "High, master, you are so tall!" ”

Ren Yaxiang is really convinced, this Shi Bufan is really taking one step and seeing ten steps! When others were still thinking about this international student college, Shi Bufan's thinking had already jumped to the future reform of the academic system. Shi Bufan plans to set up a model through which he can drive the reform of official schools across the country. When others see the benefits of the model, they will naturally spontaneously force the court to follow suit. In this way, the pressure from the bottom is definitely countless times more than the pressure from the top to the bottom.

Shi Bufan has always believed that bottom-up reform is a relatively thorough reform, and top-down reform will leave a lot of remnants. The truly clever reformers start from the bottom to cultivate new interest groups, so that they are squeezed from the top and the bottom to the middle. Once the top and bottom levels form two interest groups and squeeze the middle level together, those middle layers will either take the initiative to surrender under such huge pressure, or they will be cleared out and enter the garbage heap of history.

What Shi Bufan has to do is to erect a model, and with this model, everyone sees the benefits of this model, so naturally they will also follow to learn. Especially those students, when they see the benefits, they will naturally follow suit. The students of this era are much more diligent than those of later generations, and the vast majority of students in this era are self-motivated to learn. Because reading is their own choice, not an "obligation", it has caused the vast majority of poor children who can read in this era to take the initiative to learn.

Those poor children attach great importance to low-cost and high-efficiency learning methods, and they also have very huge demands. As long as there is a method and school system that can reduce the cost of learning and improve the efficiency of reading, they will not hesitate to support it. Once they have a model, they will force the court to make changes.

"Only in this way will we ensure that the reform will not be stillborn, because with a large group of people who will benefit from it, they will become the most loyal supporters of this policy." They will all become new interest groups. Shi Bufan said.

"The new interest group, this student, can be qualified to be called an 'interest group'?" Ren Yaxiang felt speechless.

"Haha, Ren Yaxiang, interest groups are relative, and not all of them are absolutely officials or actually in power. The so-called interest groups are not those who are powerful, in fact, many ordinary people are also 'interest groups', and anyone who can profit from this, or can change their fate through this method in the future, can be called this thing interest group. Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan believes that the so-called "interest groups" in this world are not absolute, and they are not absolutely in power or those who are powerful. In fact, the scope of interest groups is very wide, and many ordinary people are also part of the "interest groups". There is a simple example, for example, those who study coal mining and oil extraction, or the workers who are engaged in coal and oil extraction, once coal and oil are replaced one day by more advanced energy sources, those who depend on coal and are there to survive, from the bosses to the ordinary workers, will be unemployed.

So in a sense, interest groups are not necessarily all officials, and may even be ordinary people engaged in this industry, because this is related to their jobs. Of course, those who are in office may think more, but it is not possible to deny that they have obtained official positions by this method.

Therefore, Shi Bufan believes that as long as there is a new method, it will help students to learn in the future, reduce the cost of reading and improve the efficiency of reading, and many students will force them to change. It's not so easy to make a change. First of all, this first model needs to be done, if you don't have the opportunity to make a model, then I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue to walk.

Shi Bufan through this international student college, so that by creating a model out. Instead of choosing an official school as a model, it is better to take the initiative to set up another one, so that everything will be changed according to its own method and will not be affected by those traditional forces.

This is not a real conservative, in fact, there are no real conservatives in this world, the so-called conservatives are only because they can benefit from being conservative. If one day they can reap the benefits of reform, they will not hesitate to do so.

However, this thing of teaching and educating people is very academic, and although those academic bureaucrats do not have much political influence on weekdays, they are more than others in terms of education. Even if they are the beneficiaries of the traditional teaching methods of the past, it is difficult for them to take the initiative to change.

Instead of trying to reinvent it, it is better to kick out the beneficiaries of traditional teaching methods and build a new school according to their own ideas, so that they can still reap a lot of benefits.

And this college for international students is the best excuse. International students are foreigners, and they can borrow foreigners in a grand manner, and they should use new methods to manage them, which is very high-sounding and no one can refute it. So of course, Shi Bufan has the opportunity to use it, and he can use this method directly.

"According to my plan, this international student college will be the origin of the humanities in the future, and the nautical college will be the origin of science and engineering." Shi Bufan made a plan and wrote this sentence in his plan book.

Shi Bufan's plan for this international student college is to focus on teaching humanities in the future, and to teach various humanities in the name of foreign students, so as to develop the origin of liberal arts universities.

As for the Navigation College where Liu Renliang worked, it can be used as the origin of science and engineering. Although Shi Bufan's knowledge is mainly in the liberal arts, he also does not neglect science and engineering. Liberal arts and science and engineering are the two legs that support human society, and both are indispensable. Without science and engineering, science and technology would not be able to progress, but without humanities, society, morality, law, and other cultures would be gone. Existence must be justified, liberal arts and science are equally important, although Shi Bufan mainly studies liberal arts, but he will also not suppress science and engineering narrowly for this reason.

Of course, it is not easy to develop non-Confucian disciplines, especially other so-called "miscellaneous studies", and it takes an opportunity. Shi Bufan used the destruction of Goguryeo as an excuse to establish the Navigation Academy. In the same way, the teaching of international students was used as an excuse to establish an international student college focusing on humanities, which is considered to be established under the pretext, and ordinary people cannot oppose it. Because it seems normal to adopt a new method of management for foreigners, even ancient people will understand that foreigners cannot be "dogmatic"! (To be continued.) )
