Chapter 173: State School Starts
In the first year of Jianxing, in mid-September, the first batch of 200 young scholars from Liaodong and Xuanfu counties obtained the qualification to enroll in Pingzhou Prefecture. Most of the first batch of state school students are about ten years old, which is not in line with the age of state school admission, but in view of the fact that the education system at all levels in eastern Liaoning is not yet perfect, it can only be so for the time being.
Among this batch of students, a considerable number of them are the children of the relatives of Liaodong Wenwu, such as Feng Yu, the son of Feng Xuan, Huang Fuzhen, the younger brother of Huang Fudian, and Pei Kai, the nephew of Pei Wei. Feng Yu, as a rising star of the Feng family, is a few years younger than his cousin Feng Yi, but he is a descendant of the descendants who were released by his grandfather and placed high hopes on him.
Huangfu's real character Chu Ji is famous in history and is the most relied on right-hand man of the former Yan Empire represented by the Murong family. He successively assisted the four monarchs of Qianyan Murong Diao, Murong Hao, Murong Jun, and Murong Wei, and the official was in the middle of the service and the Taiwei.
Wei Shuo had been looking for traces of Huangfu Zhen in Liaodong before, and it was not until later that he inadvertently learned that he was Huangfu Dian's younger brother, but unfortunately he was still only twelve years old at the moment, and he could not serve Liaodong for the time being.
On this day, the autumn was crisp and the sky was clear, and countless young people from eastern Liaoning gathered in the playground of the State University Hall in the north of the city, which had begun to take shape, to prepare for the first opening ceremony.
On the stage, Liu Zan, Kong Su, Hu Wuyi, and Zhu Zuoche can be said to be proud of the spring breeze, and there are more people today than when the foundation was laid.
Two hundred young scholars sat in the audience and looked around at the environment of the school, the new school had an unparalleled attraction for them, they had never seen such a gorgeous school. There are not only majestic classrooms, but also comfortable dormitories, and many facilities and buildings that they have never seen before.
"Playground? Why is this place called a playground? How does it compare to the school in the city? ”
Before the ceremony began, the young scholars sitting in the audience looked around to observe everything on the playground. Everywhere you look, there are new things that you have never heard of or seen. Some scholars couldn't resist their curiosity and couldn't help but communicate with the young people next to them.
"In Xia Liang Yuan, the ancestral home of Qingzhou, moved to Liaodong in the late Han Dynasty. I don't know my brother's surname? ”
Feng Yu was thinking about his own thoughts, when he suddenly heard someone talking to him, and turned his head to look. But I saw a young man about fifteen years old looking at himself with a smile, and said busily: "In Xia Fengyu, Bohai people." ”
"I don't know if Brother Tai and the former Dongyi Captain Feng are ......"
Liang Yuan was taken aback when he heard that the young man he was talking to was surnamed Feng. In Liaodong, the Feng family and the Gao family are extremely powerful families, they all moved to Liaodong from the Central Plains many years ago, don't look at the Pei family has a huge influence in the Central Plains, but in Liaodong it cannot be compared with the Gao family and the Feng family.
"That's my grandfather!"
"Oh, it turned out to be the descendant of Lord Feng, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
In Liaodong. Feng Shi is highly respected and has a huge influence in the hearts of readers. When Liang Yuan heard that Feng Yu was the grandson of the released lord, he immediately became excited. After a while, Liang Yuan couldn't help but ask carefully: "Feng Langjun, there are a few questions that I don't understand, I don't know if you can solve a problem with me." ”
Feng Yu didn't care and said: "Liang Langjun might as well say it directly, and he must know everything below." ”
"Then the little brother will be presumptuous, if there is something offended. Please also Haihan! Liang Yuan first expressed some apologies before asking, "With the influence of the Feng family in Liaodong, you shouldn't have to go here to study again, right?" I heard that it was with the help of the Feng family that Lord Wei gained a foothold in Liaodong. Master Wei also attaches great importance to your Feng family, why did you think of going to school again? ”
Feng Yi chuckled and didn't say anything, this matter involved the Feng family's layout for the future, of course he wouldn't tell Liang Yuan the details, and only said vaguely: "Pingzhou University Hall was personally supervised by the captain, which shows its status in the heart of the captain." No surprises. In the future, the officials of the Liaodong Department will come out of here. No matter how important the Feng family is, they have to fight for their own strength. ”
"Oh, I see! Feng Langjun, you are from a family of eunuchs, do you have any gossip about the school? I heard that we will be in the academy for four years. During this period, you will learn a large number of new subjects, including arithmetic, Confucianism, and so on. The examination is held every six months, and those who fail the examination are not allowed to graduate. ”
Liang Yuan's words immediately attracted the attention of the other scholars, and they joined in one after another to discuss matters related to the academy.
"Yes, yes, I've heard about it below! Among them, arithmetic and Confucianism are compulsory courses, and every student enrolled in the first year must learn to complete these two courses. After one year, students will choose different majors according to their exam results and personal interests, including further studies in arithmetic and Confucianism, as well as other disciplines such as agriculture, business, medicine, etc. ”
"I don't know what Lord Lieutenant thinks, we are here to learn the ability to govern the country, so that we can become the ruler of the country that the court relies on in the future. It's good now, there are all kinds of useless knowledge such as medicine and arithmetic in the school, and we are not here to be doctors, farmers, or craftsmen. ”
"Humph! You know what! The captain is far-sighted, is it beyond the reach of my generation? He had a reason for doing so. ”
"Fellow students, I know a little bit about this issue."
Seeing that the argument between the crowd was getting more and more intense, Feng Yu, who had been watching the excitement from the side, hurriedly interrupted the argument between the two sides.
"In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Lord Captain has the ambition to build Pingzhou Prefecture School into a comprehensive university hall, just like the Jixia School Palace in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Pingzhou Prefecture School is completely different from Taixue in the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and even if we successfully graduate from it in the future, we will not be able to obtain the qualification to be an official like Tai students. ”
"You have obtained a state school graduation certificate, which only means that you have completed your state school studies, and you have completed the skills with the apprentice from the master and met the conditions for becoming a teacher. With a diploma, you'll be able to fend for yourself. It doesn't matter if you open a museum, become a doctor, or do things for others. ”
"That'...... So what if I want to be an official? A young man next to him asked Feng Yu in a whisper.
"It's simple, as long as you get the state school graduation certificate, you can participate in the recruitment exam held by the government that year, and as long as you pass this exam, you can get the qualification to be an official."
"Does that Feng Langjun know what the government's recruitment exam is for?"
Almost all the young scholars looked at Feng Yi with bated breath, for fear of missing a word. I saw Feng Yi pouting and said: "I don't know what to take the test, I only know that the government will release relevant information for this in the future, but according to my understanding, Confucianism and arithmetic are the basic compulsory exams." ”
"Why do you still have to take the arithmetic test?!"
Most of the scholars present were almost blind to arithmetic, and some of them had never even been exposed to arithmetic since they were young, and now they heard that arithmetic would be tested in the future official recruitment examination, how could they not have a headache.
Not everyone has a headache about arithmetic, children of families like Pei Kai, Huang Fuzhen, and Feng Yu benefited from the help of their families, and after learning that Wei Shuo attached great importance to arithmetic, they had worked it. With their superior IQ, they have mastered relatively profound knowledge of elementary arithmetic in a short period of time.
In the midst of all the disturbances, the opening ceremony of the state school finally kicked off. Wei Shuo stood on the stage and looked at the young people in the audience, these young people in front of him are his biggest reliance on the world in the future, and they are the seeds he sowed to change this era.
After the ceremony, 200 students, under the guidance of the school staff, went to their dormitories to organize their daily necessities. From today onwards, they will officially move into the dormitory of the school, and both the children of the family and the poor family must rely on themselves to live independently, which is a big challenge for the children of the pampered family.
Two hundred young scholars successfully entered Pingzhou State School, and in the future, they will spend four years in the State School Hall accompanied by a team of teachers led by Liu Zan and Kong Su.
As the county guard of Liaodong, Wei Shuo naturally knew that Huangfu Zhen and others had also joined the state school, and he welcomed this. He believes that after this further study, the three of them will surely shine more brilliantly than in their original history in the future. (To be continued.) )
