School!

In the Incheon Special Economic Zone, the first red-brick structure building, excluding the factories of the textile factory and the fine cotton clay factory, is probably the "East Asian Tongwen College" located on the seaside of the southern district, and even the first public building in the entire special zone, which shows its status in the special zone, and the reason why the establishment of the East Asian Tongwen College was placed at such a high level is for one purpose - the need for the Korean assimilation policy, and of course, the more important point is to cultivate the talents needed by the special zone. Since it is a college that cultivates administrative talents, it is also a college for engineering talents.

"Chineseism!"

When entering the Tongwen College, which already has seven three-story buildings, Tang Haoran expressed his thoughts to Li Guangguang, and when he asked Li Guangguang about his thoughts on the road before, the two were close in a certain way, but there were more differences, especially in the idea of running a school.

Suffering from the lack of talents, since the establishment of the unified supervision office, Tang Haoran has been suffering from this reality, not only industrial talents, even together with the most basic education, it is also the case, although the history of Chinese education far exceeds that of Europe, but the stagnation of education for thousands of years is an unavoidable fact, especially after the modern education revolution, Chinese education has long been left behind by Western countries, there is no suitable educational talent as a professor, and there is no suitable educator to preside over the same academy.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Haoran feels so tired -- he has to handle many things himself, so much so that he even wonders if he has a "part-time fetish", just like now, in addition to the North Korean Unified Supervisor, he is also the director of the Security Department and the chairman of the Special Administrative Region Construction Committee. As for the Police Academy, the Marine Academy and the Bun College are in preparation. He is also the principal and dean. On the one hand, it is true that he wants to hold power in his own hands, but the deeper reason is that there is no one to use.

The reality that no one is available has always troubled Tang Haoran, and until now, he doesn't know what better option there is besides being the dean. Although he is also a layman when it comes to education, he at least knows the general direction of education.

"Chineseism?"

Li Guangguang answered in surprise.

"In fact, it is Sinocentrism, to put it bluntly, it is the Huayi debate!"

Huayi's debate!

When the four words came into his ears, Li Guangguang's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly whispered.

"Your Excellency, you must know that today's ......"

Perhaps the "Huayi Debate" is the root of Confucianism, but it entered the customs from the Manchu Qing Dynasty and occupied the Central Plains. Who would dare to mention these four words? This "Huayi debate" argues that he, the Manchurians, is a barbarian.

"I know, Chongshan. The reason why China is China is precisely centered on the "Huayi debate", if there is no "Huayi debate", how can there be a dignified China and this central country? ”

Tang Haoran, who spit out his innermost thoughts in front of Li Guangguang for the first time, is not worried that he will judge him now, if he knows anything about Chinese scholars now, it is that a person like him who has repeatedly tried and failed, and his dissatisfaction with the Manchu Qing is even far greater than his own.

And more importantly, perhaps the so-called "old man Yongzheng" once refuted Lu Liuliang's Huayi distinction, but all Chinese scholars, more or less, must be affected by the "Huayi debate", and even for this reason, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, the vast majority of scholars would have no nostalgia for it, as for the so-called old man, in a certain way, what they were nostalgic for was not dissatisfaction with the Qing, but - well, the imperial system. It is the imperial system inherited by China for thousands of years, which is what they really cherish.

Just like many people in later generations are fans of a certain era, how can those people be nostalgic for those eras? It's just a recognition of some kind of values.

"Of course, there is another consideration, but the influence of Chinese thought in Korea, even Japan, and the entire Chinese character cultural circle for thousands of years,"

Tang Haoran's preference to cite "Great Chinaism" rather than the "Huayi Debate" was motivated by a practical need -- the need for Korean rule, and even the need to legitimize the rule of Korea.

"With North Korea's influential Huaxi and other schools, such as Kim Pyongmo, Yoo In-seok, Choi Yi-hyun, Hong Jae-ho and other Confucian students under Li Heng's old disciples, all of them are influenced by our Chinese Confucianism Cheng Zhu Lixue, maybe they are Koreans, but their loyalty to "China" has long been engraved into their bones, and more importantly, these Korean Confucians have even reached the point where they do not pay attention to the survival of their country and emphasize the rise and fall of Confucianism, and this is what we really need, the same ...... of the Academy of Letters."

Pointing to the buildings with oriental architectural characteristics, to be precise, with Chinese-style eaves, Tang Haoran continued.

"The reason for the establishment of the Tongbun College is of course to cultivate talents who meet the needs of the civil servants in the government and the future construction of the special zone, but it is also to cultivate the pro-China faction within the DPRK, and "Chineseism" is the best choice, in the past hundreds of years, the "Chinese thought" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Korean people, and what we need is to further carry it forward, and then to dismantle their budding nationalism, and finally make North Korea a province of China! ”

Make North Korea my province of China!

This may be Tang Haoran's goal, but as far as his selfish intentions are concerned, he does not hope to borrow the group of Confucian scholars in North Korea who still adhere to the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period and think about the Ming Dynasty nearly 250 years after the death of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time disintegrate the budding nationalism in North Korea and completely integrate it into China, it will also disintegrate the heart of the young people in China to "serve the country with loyalty", and then make North Korea a real "base for the rejuvenation of China".

"My lord, it seems that you are going to have Korean Confucian scholars give lectures at the academy?"

Although Li Guangguang's experience of repeated attempts made him dissatisfied with the imperial court, the saying of "loyal to the king" that he had studied for decades still affected him, and he would naturally hear the subtext of the adults - inviting Korean Confucians to give lectures at the academy, and maybe even the West China School of North Korea.

"My lord, please consider this matter in the long run, after all, this West China School seems to be the nest of the old school, and it has always adhered to the "Huayi debate", if it is introduced into China, it may cause chaos......"

Because of the relationship with Korean Confucian scholars when he was in Seoul. So that Li Guangguang is well aware of the ideas of various schools of thought in Korea. The fame of the West China School in Korea is far beyond that of any other school. It can be the first school of Korea, but on the other hand, this school has adhered to the "Huayi Debate" and the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period since Song Shilie, and the heart of Chongzhou Siming is completely different from the current Korean willingness to be a subject state of the Qing State.

In addition, most of the Korean Confucians are extremely conservative, and their blind science and technology are not tolerant of Western technology, and they regard the law as a flood of beasts, if it is used. Wouldn't it be contrary to the original intention of the adults to establish the Tongwen College to promote innovative studies? ”

Li Guangguang's euphemistic persuasion made Tang Haoran stunned for a moment, and then was silent for a moment, and asked rhetorically.

"Chongshan, but you also have to understand that compared to other Koreans, they are more loyal!"

At least he is very loyal to "China", and this is exactly what he needs, at least that group of people, which he needs to fight for, use them to achieve control of North Korea.

"But ......"

Glancing out into the distance. Tang Haoran said with a smile.

"I'm not going to let them give lectures at the Academy, which is different from the Chung Hwa School. This academy, well, I have decided to entrust carte blanche to the professors hired from Germany, the modern education of the European style that the students received at the Faculty of Letters, and as for Chinese studies, do they still need to study again? ”

In addition to the more than 100 students recruited from the church school, more students will come from the Tongwen Hall set up in Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, and those who can enter the Tongwen Hall are at least children, all of whom have received a basic and complete education in Chinese culture, and all they need is modern mathematics and science education, which is precisely the purpose of the establishment of the Tongwen College -- to cultivate a group of modern talents who can be used in the next three or four years.

What are the real challenges in running education?

It is not about higher education, but about basic education like primary school, in contrast, primary education is the most important, because primary education is the foundation, since the future of the Special Economic Zone and even China will be centered on "Great Chinaism", then Chinese culture education is naturally inevitable, primary education involves too many problems - first of all, how to compile textbooks is a big problem, such as mathematics, geography and other textbooks can be used for reference, such as borrowing from Japanese and German textbooks, adding China-related content, However, how to compile the most important textbook of Chinese culture in primary education is a big problem.

How to solve this problem, it can be said that from instructing Song Yuxin to recruit orphans in China and establish an "orphanage", this problem has been plaguing Tang Haoran, China in this era is not like the Republic of China, there are hundreds of educators who write a variety of Mandarin textbooks for him to choose from, the only one who can help him is the Confucian students in China, and the second is the Confucian students of North Korea. In terms of Chinese attainments, even the most unlearned and unskilled people are much higher than Tang Haoran.

"But the Chinese school is different, according to the proportion of the Chinese school, except for 10% of the North Korean students, the rest are the orphans we brought from the country, how to educate them, how to train them to become talents, this is the most important, perhaps, only a very small number of them can grow into real talents, but Chongshan, we went to the factory before, where not only workers and technicians are needed, but also a large number of middle-level technicians, this is what we need, and more importantly...... Chung Hwa School is an attempt to implement modern basic education in China! ”

Tang Haoran, who seemed to have a heavy tone, did not say that Zhonghua School not only cultivates middle-level technicians, but also many grassroots officials and officers will come from that school in the future, and compared to others, maybe those orphans will be more loyal and more fair.

Perhaps Tang Haoran has no specific ideas or plans for the future of China, but he knows that change is inevitable, but he doesn't know that no matter what the future holds, an earth-shaking change is inevitable, and change means that old interests need to be broken, and who will be used to break old interests? No one is more suitable than the officials who graduated from the Chinese School, at least they have fewer connections than the Chinese.

On the one hand, it is impossible for Tang Haoran to implement modern education in North Korea, so that North Korea's modern education leads Chinese mainland, and on the other hand, education cannot be left undone, especially basic education, after all, basic education directly determines higher education.

If the 21st Century Consulting Big Bang taught Tang Haoran anything, it is that he knows that the development of education is the only way to develop production and make the country prosperous and strong. For example, at the beginning of the 19th century, German industry lagged behind Britain by almost a century. From the twenties of the nineteenth century onwards, Germany vigorously developed education in order to make the country rich and strong. Since then, investment in education in Germany has increased at a high rate every year, and it soon surpassed that of the rest of Europe. Germany has played a huge role in the development of the German economy by investing more in education than other European countries, making the enrollment rate of school-age children, the ability of its citizens to read, write and arithmetic, the skills of workers, the quality of training of engineers and scientists, and even the high-level scientific research of European countries. Japan, which is learning from Germany, also uses education as a springboard for the revitalization of the country and the nation. From the very beginning of its reign, the Meiji government emphasized the importance of education in order to build Japan into a capitalist country that could resist the invasion of Western powers and compete with international capitalist powers. Therefore, it took only 50 years for Japan to complete the path that Britain, France, and other European and American countries had taken more than 200 years in education, and laid a solid foundation for the revitalization of the Japanese nation and economic development.

Whether it is Germany or Japan, in the beginning, they all chose to use primary education as a breakthrough, to establish as many schools as possible, and to force school-age children to enroll in primary education, and to popularize the country's primary education to provide sufficient and best students for higher education, and the current Chinese school is the primary education of the Special Economic Zone, or to create a precedent for modern primary education in China, laying the foundation for the promotion and popularization of primary education in the future.

"My lord, this ......"

Li Guangguang, who has received primary education in the future, knows the importance of education in a country through Guò "Tai Xice", but he is still confused about modern education, and he does not know what modern primary school education is, but he knows that this is by no means an easy task.

"It's not easy!"

Tang Haoran didn't know the difficulty of this matter, but no matter how difficult it was, he needed to do it!

"So, I'm going to invite someone to come over and ask him to work with those from the West China School, and even if possible, even the Japanese, to design a set of primary school textbooks suitable for China!"
