Chapter 122: Official and Private Learning (I)
"Assistant Teacher Ning Shuyu, recently our government plans to invest a sum of money into the official school, and then we will invest 10% of the income every year in the future to make the county school develop and let more people come to study. I'd like to hear what you think about the people in your county. Chen Fei asked.
This Ning Shuyu is the person Chen Fei saw outside the county government last time, he is a teaching assistant at the county school, and he does not belong to the officials who enter the stream. However, this Ning Shuyu is only ten years old now, but he has already entered the county school for three years. Although men in ancient times reached adulthood at the age of twenty, they often had to earn money to support themselves at the age of fifteen, so it is not surprising that this ten-year-old man had three years of service.
"Chen County Order, in fact, after listening to your plan, I don't recommend that you invest your personal wealth in the county school." Ning Shuyu said.
"Oh? You are also a county schooler, why are you against it? Chen Fei asked.
And Ning Shuyu immediately said: "Since Chen County Order can take out your own money to invest in county education, it shows that Chen County Order still attaches importance to culture and education." But after all, the county school is an official school, and the control of the officialdom is too strict, if Chen County orders your investment, what if someone misappropriates it at that time? I'm not suspicious of the Chen County Order, but can the Chen County Order ensure that the successor in the future will not misappropriate it? Even if the successor does not embezzle, and this is an investment of thousands of dollars every year, I am afraid that even a state assassin will be tempted. So what if the time comes for the state assassin to order misappropriation? Could it be that a county order with a lowly official position can resist? ”
Chen Fei frowned, he realized an important problem. Because this county school is an official institution, it belongs to a department within the government agency, and its status is equivalent to that of the party school in later generations, and there are various schools that have been merged. But after all, he belongs to the department of the government, which means that he must absolutely obey the orders of his superiors. Now that I have invested in the wealth of the county school, once I really invest in it, I am afraid that it will be the wealth of the public. So what will Chen Fei's successors think of this county school? Will he embezzle the money. And then for other purposes?
Chen Fei did not doubt that this kind of thing would happen, but was sure that this kind of thing would definitely happen. Even in later generations, there are often schools that have embezzled grants, and even many charities have been exposed to misappropriate love funds. This will be the case in the later era of advanced information, but was it not in ancient times? In ancient times, there was no public opinion supervision, and the government was very closed, and the people did not understand the operation process of the government. So it's easy for officials to take the money away so that they can be used for other things. If Chen Fei invested a large amount of money into this county school, then Chen Fei's successors, as well as higher-level state officials, would have such a good conscience. Won't it be misappropriated?
"Also, what if you are transferred after the Chen County Order? Once Chen County Decree is transferred to another place as an official in the future, will you continue to fund the county school in Shuo County at that time? If it is not funded at that time, the final result is that the county school will lose its continuous financial investment, and in the end it will be a flash in the pan. At that time, Chen County ordered that all kinds of culture and education would also be ruined, and there would be no development at all. And if Chen County Order goes to other places to be an official, then will Chen County Order subsidize the official school in other places? If Chen County's order does not fund it, it will be hated. The so-called lack of suffering from inequality. are all subordinates of Chen County's order, why do you treat the blood of Shuo County so favorably, and ignore the official education in other places? Isn't this unfair to them? ”
"As for the last point, that is, Chen County makes you have great ideals. A county school is far from satisfying this ideal. Chen County's ideal is that everyone in the world can have books to read, and this has already involved the whole country. But in doing so, isn't the pattern of a county school too small? From this point of view, county school actually has a great congenital deficiency. ”
Chen Fei suddenly realized. The county school in Shuo County has a great congenital deficiency. Chen Fei naturally wants to develop cultural and educational undertakings, so he thinks about investing in county schools. However, this county school belongs to the government, and Chen Fei's investment at that time will also belong to the donation to the government. What if the government embezzles it? The so-called county school is a school within a "county", and you are only a county in college. For a county school, because you belong to a government institution, you can only teach and enroll students in the county to which you belong.
If the county school in Shuo County went to another county to enroll students, it would definitely move the cake of other counties. And the problems in the government are all political problems, and once it comes to political issues, it is definitely a rotten thing. At that time, no matter how much the enrollment is expanded, in the final analysis, it can only enroll students in one county. If it goes beyond this county, it is also touching the interests of others, and it is certain that it will cause officialdom disputes at that time.
Therefore, the congenital insufficiency of the county school is too insufficient, and it is impossible for him to expand to schools that can enroll students all over the country. In Datang, only Guozijian, Taixue, and four schools can recruit students nationwide, and the official schools in other places can only recruit and educate locally. This is also the essence of government education, and the essence of government education actually belongs to government agencies, and government agencies are very particular about the scope of their authority, and if they exceed the scope of their authority, it will definitely be unlucky.
"What you said is right, the county school is congenitally insufficient, and it is easy to be constrained by various government yamen, and there are too many 'mothers-in-law' on it. However, if you don't invest in the county school, will you donate it to the Guozijian? Chen Fei asked.
Ning Shuyu immediately said: "Chen County Order, based on my discoveries in the past few years, I suggest that Chen County Order can suggest that you get a private school." ”
"Private school?" Chen Fei was a little puzzled.
A private school is a school run by a private or social organization, and in the words of later generations, it is a private school. Chen Fei didn't react for a while, because Chen Fei grew up as an orphan in a welfare home funded by the government from childhood to adulthood, and the schools he attended were all public schools funded by the government. But suddenly someone suggested that he get a private school, which made Chen Fei a little unresponsive, and he didn't even think about it at all. Chen Fei actually didn't pay much attention to private schools in his heart, because in Chen Fei's impression in later generations, private schools were far inferior to public schools, so he didn't think about it that way.
