Chapter 21 Director of Datang Nursery School
"Dugu Shanggong, you're not kidding, are you?" Shi Bufan exclaimed.
Shi Bufan originally thought that this Dugu Shanggong was just sending a few children, because he thought that even if the Dugu family could give birth again, there wouldn't be too many children, right? But seeing more than 100 children of all sizes here, all of them from six to twelve years old, Shi Bufan almost felt fainted. Why are there so many children, can you manage it yourself?
However, Dugu Shanggong replied obviously indifferently: "Isn't this what you promised yesterday?" As I said, many officials in the imperial court also want to send their children to study here, so they went to ask Concubine Wan. However, Wan Guifei and I came to ask for your opinion precisely because we were worried that there were too many people. If it was just one or two, we wouldn't have asked you at all, and it was because there were so many people that we came to ask for your opinion. But since you agreed, then you should also accept it. ”
Shi Bufan almost fainted, what is this with Shenma! Stuffing more than 100 children in at a time also made Shi Bufan want to die. More than 100 people, in the future generations, are enough to form a smaller primary school, how can they all send these children to themselves?
"Dugu Shanggong, don't you care about your family members? Those court officials don't care about their descendants? Shi Bufan asked.
Dugu Shanggong replied helplessly: "Where do the court officials have time to care about these, they are so busy every day that their feet don't touch the ground, and they all hand over this child to the servants to take it, and it is almost impossible to take it personally." And even the concubines born to some concubines, they are not taken seriously, and they have not even seen their biological father when they are five or six years old. Not to mention the concubines, even many concubines don't have time to take care of them, they are just handed over to the servants and the wives and concubines in the backyard to take care of, and they are in charge of the affairs of the court. ”
Shi Bufan was also silent, because he knew that what he said was right. Because Shi Bufan also knows that many officials are very busy, not to mention ancient times, even in later generations, many officials are busy working during the day, and sometimes they have to socialize. Whether it is a good official or a bad official, few can take good care of their children in their spare time. This has also caused a lot of news of children's "cheating fathers", and this is actually the lack of family education. I can't see my father at all, so their impression of my father is very unfamiliar.
"And at home, I have to invite a famous teacher to teach, but it is not easy to ask for a famous teacher. Everyone heard that Li Jing was impressed by your art of war, and they persuaded that Kong Yingda by virtue of their knowledge, so they think you have great talent. Even the royal students in the Xiuwen Pavilion during this time have made great progress, so they sent the child here. Everyone also values you, so they think you can teach them well, so please work more for those who can. Dugu Shanggong said.
Shi Bufan looked at this situation, and it seemed that he would not be able to accept more than 100 children. However, Shi Bufan also knew that he had become a place where Tang officials sent their children to manage in their place, because Shi Bufan's educational achievements in the past few days were still good, and they could make those royal students improve their studies. Even Shi Bu is erudite and talented, and knows a lot of subjects, not only Confucianism, but also a lot of other knowledge. For example, the art of war, these are what make those officials excited. Because at the age of twelve, it is natural to begin to decide their future path. As for those who know the art of war, there are not many teachers who can handle various affairs, especially those who know how to teach them management skills, so they also sent their children.
"Dugu Shanggong, since this is the case, then I also want to talk about it first, since it has been sent to the Xiuwen Pavilion, then I hope that everything will be managed according to my method. I don't want them to interfere too often, it will be difficult for me to do it, and I can't guarantee that they will be able to teach. Shi Bufan said.
Dugu Shanggong immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I can help you solve these things." In the future, those nobles will not take care of these things, you can rest assured. You can teach with your thoughts, and this is okay. And I don't think those court officials have time to take care of these things, because they are very busy. ”
Shi Bufan also thought that those court officials did not have time to take care of these things, because why many later officials and wealthy people were so keen on prestigious school education was actually just a kind of guilt in their hearts. They rarely have time to educate their children in person, and they don't have the time to naturally hope to hand over their children to a prestigious school for study, and then let their children become talents. They completely throw all the ideas of educating children to the school, thinking that it is the responsibility of the school to educate children, and they have no responsibility. In fact, there are a lot of this kind of thinking, these court officials actually want to throw their children to teachers, and then they can leave it alone, after all, they are very busy, so they naturally don't care about these things. Since ancient times, they have also been superstitious about the education of famous teachers, believing that those who are knowledgeable can be good teachers.
"Alright, let them in!" Shi Bufan said.
Soon more than a hundred children, all six to twelve years old, came in, and then they were ready to be divided. So many children can't be solved by grouping, they must be divided into classes, and if they are not divided into classes, then they will definitely be turned upside down. However, it is certainly impossible for this class to be carried out according to the grades of later generations, because this did not form the unified school system of later generations. At present, the learning methods are set by the respective teachers, and there is no strict regulation of the school system.
Therefore, different teachers have different teaching methods, so that Shi Bufan can also arrange by himself, and he does not have to worry about being scolded for changing the teaching system. When those children were assigned classes, Shi Bufan had to solve some problems next, which was very tricky.
"You can go back!" Shi Bufan said to the servants of those students.
The situation that made Shi Bufan speechless appeared, and these more than 100 children actually brought more than 300 servants, which was really blind to Shi Bufan's eyes. These children actually came to school with their servants, and each of these servants seemed to be the ones who took care of their lives. After all, these children are all from noble families or noble families, and there is nothing else in the family, and there is definitely a lot of money. So it is naturally very normal to let some servants take care of them. Moreover, these children have grown up under the care of these servants since childhood, and they are obviously used to this kind of life, and even here they want to take care of their own little master.
"Shi Xiaoshulang, let's cook for them and take care of your sons."
Shi Bufan said again: "I think, you better go back!" What can they do here? This is the palace, does anyone dare to come in and mess around? ”
"However, our son-in-law's favorite food is the food I cook, if I don't let me do it, then my son-in-law has a bad appetite!" "Yes! Every day after Childe finished reading, he asked me to help him change the candles. "Yes! If I didn't take care of Childe, how could he ......?"
One by one, these servants showed that they were "useful", and then hoped that Shi Bufan would let them in. When Shi Bufan heard this, his face darkened a lot, what kind of "old soldiers" are these gangs, they can only read and study, and they don't know anything else. There are also many such children in later generations, and many later generations will not even take care of their own lives because of their parents' doting. I can't even do things like cooking for myself, and then I can't do anything without my parents.
And this ancient world is the same, but instead of their parents, they depend on their servants. Then they all have no servants, and they are all unable to stand on their own and become self-reliant, and they all rely on servants to do things. Shi Bufan also hates this kind of person very much. Because no school wants these people to come in, these people come in and it is useless for these people to come in, but it will bring the whole school atmosphere. And these children are also very headaches for the teacher, because these children don't understand a lot of common sense in life, and once they leave the servants, they can't live at all.
"It seems that the important thing is not to teach them knowledge, but to turn the minds of these children around." Shi Bufan thought.
Shi Bufan urged again: "Are you leaving?" ”
"Shi Xiao Shulang, we have to take care of ......"
Seeing that they still said this, Shi Bufan immediately said to the palace Qianniuwei not far away: "Brother Qianniuwei, help me blast these guys out." The palace is important, and the idle people don't approach casually! ”
The Qianniu guard heard Shi Bufan's words, and then they all came over and said: "Please leave by yourself, the palace is important, don't stay here casually if you have nothing to do, understand?" Otherwise, you will be blown out, or you may be punished! ”
"No, we have to take care of our son!" "Without us, how can our son live!" "Yes! Childe is the future head of the family, and he can't take care of him without us! ”……
"If there is no one in this world, won't the earth also rotate? Brother Qianniuwei, blast them out! Shi Bufan still said politely.
The Qianniu Guard, who was in charge of standing guard near the Xiuwen Pavilion, immediately said, "Please leave!" If you don't leave, then don't blame me! ”
"Shi Xiaoshulang, you don't let us take care of our son, what happens to our son-in-law when the time comes?" One of the servants asked.
But Shi Bufan replied: "If something happens in the Xiuwen Pavilion, I will bear it." ”
"I'm afraid you can't bear it, how noble our son is......"
"away!" Shi Bufan said again.
This kind of dog fights with people, thinking that relying on his son-in-law can threaten Shi Bufan. But Shi Bufan is not afraid of this threat, if these servants are allowed to take care of the lives of those young ladies here, then Bufan will really not be able to attend classes. Why will many schools in later generations not allow nannies and those parents to come to take care of life, in fact, if these people are allowed to enter the school, I am afraid that it will make the school a miasma. When the time comes, it is easy for students to compare or show off. Some who have a babysitter will look down on those who don't. And those families who don't have a nanny naturally don't dare to let their children lose face, and then without sufficient economic conditions, they will grit their teeth and hire a nanny.
Don't despise the Chinese's habit of having a good face since ancient times, and many times it is about saving face. When the time comes, today because there are nannies entering the school to take care of their students, tomorrow I am afraid that the competition will be who has more money, and even bring all kinds of bad problems. Originally, it may have been just a servant, but I am afraid that a lot of smoky miasma will develop in the future. If this is the case, it will make the school a mess.
Therefore, Shi Bufan's Qianniuwei in the palace blasted them all away, whether it was for taking care of life, or for the so-called scholars who accompanied the study, then these were all going to be blown away. Expecting them to stay here will corrupt the pure school atmosphere. It is conceivable that if these nannies and the like are allowed to enter the school in the future, the whole school will become a miasma, and the relationship between the students will not be pure at that time.
When those servants were driven away, Shi Bufan began to prepare for the class, but in this first lesson, Shi Bufan did not plan to explain the knowledge to them.
"I've met Shi Xiao Shulang!" Those students are also more polite, after all, there is still family education, and you must know to respect teachers, even if their father is higher than Shi Bufan's official position, but they must also respect teachers.
Next, Shi Bufan asked them to introduce their names, which surprised Shi Bufan because he heard several familiar names. For example, Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai, that is, the cuckolded colt master. And there are other Du Ruhui's second son, Du He, who has also come over, but their current age is only ten years old. As for others, there is another one called Pei Xingjian, if Shi Bufan is not mistaken, he is currently just an eight-year-old child, and he may be a famous general of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
There are also some people who are more or less future celebrities, but they all have a common identity - the second generation of officials. In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, the situation of fighting for the father was still very serious, especially the scholars had not begun to fade out of the historical stage, so many celebrities in the early Tang Dynasty were family officials for generations, although some of the ordinary children of the poor family went to the top, but the proportion was too small, and the process was too difficult.
"Hey, do you really think of me as a nursery? They all sent their children to me, and these court officials are so busy that they don't even want to take care of their own children? Could it be that I, the director of the Datang Nursery School, am going to be decided? Shi Bufan complained.
