Chapter 242: The Real Beginning of Technology
Li Guo has been busy with two things recently, but in fact, it is also one thing, education and scientific research.
Education is the foundation, scientific research is development, and they are mutually reinforcing. Education is the foundation, so it is the most urgent. However, education can not only engage in fraction education, that kind of education has great drawbacks, so it requires scientific research, practice, and cultivating the hands-on ability and creative ability of students in the classroom.
With knowledge, hands-on ability and the ability to create, you can develop more advanced things, only your things can be one step ahead, in order to take the lead in the late Ming Dynasty! in order to be invincible! That's technology! Science and technology are the primary productive forces! This is what Li Guo needs most.
The development of science and technology stems from education and scientific research, which is also the ultimate goal of the Beihai University founded by Li Guo.
Therefore, Li Guo wrote the school motto of Beihai University: 'If you are stupid to read a dead book, you must make a meritorious contribution to scientific and technological inventions!' ’
Nie Xin looked at the crooked school motto written by Li Guo, and his mouth was high.
Li Guo said unashamedly, "Lao Nie, what we write is a little vulgar, but it is easy to understand and understandable." ”
In this way, Li Guo really started his journey of science and technology at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The Beihai University Hall founded by Li Guo has been established in various branches. But in the past, many subjects were in name only, because there were no faculty members who could be matched. Now, the people that Lida brought back from Europe are not only some highly skilled craftsmen, but also some people who have expertise in various fields.
Li Guo has now screened most of the Westerners who came, and according to their talents. Placement was carried out in different categories.
For Li Guo to place Westerners as teachers, that is, Mr. Teaching, it made the Confucians at that time very angry. And I heard that Li Guo treated them well. These individuals are even more resentful.
Although there are not many such rotten Confucians around Li Guo, there are still them. Li Guo, in line with the principle of a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming, did not disperse these people. Although these people have no practical value, calligraphy, painting, and poetry are also treasures of China, and they must continue to be carried forward and preserved.
But there is a rotten man who does not know how to be interesting. At the instigation of other Confucian scholars, he came to find Li Guo.
"Master Tiger. Why bother with Westerners to teach knowledge? I have a lot of people and talents, how can I lose them? ”
Li Guo squinted his eyes and looked at the rotten man, "What do you mean, just say it!" ”
"Xiaosheng means to drive away all the Westerners. All of them are replaced by my Chinese people. The ancient teachings of the Confucian saints are all-encompassing and omnipotent, and they are much more sophisticated than those Westerners! ”
Li Guo frowned and asked, "Yes, Confucianism is a famous religion through the ages, but can you make guns and cannons?" Can you build a ship? ”
The rotten Confucian talked eloquently, "My famous Confucian religion cultivates Haoran righteousness, and when righteousness comes, right and wrong have their own merits!" Those who are upright are naturally strong, and those who are strong are naturally high-spirited. With my high-spirited Qianqian students, what can I do if I can't make guns and cannons? As the saying goes, reason is all over the world. Build my righteous teacher with righteousness, why worry about not enough to level the world! ”
Li Guo was a big flying foot, and kicked the rotten man up, "your grandma's grandson!" Get lost! ”
Li Guo was so angry that he choked. The Chinese civilization has these individual achievements, but it is these people who hinder the development of the historical trend. One by one, they are just empty words, and none of them are doing practical things.
It's not that Confucianism doesn't make sense at all, but since the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism has become a cage that imprisons tens of millions of people in China. What is the meaning of knowing that mistakes can be changed, and what is good is great. Grandma's. You have to know your mistake first! If you don't dare to admit your mistakes, dare not deny yourself, and face yourself squarely, what qualifications do you have to talk about righteousness with a shy face? It's just a weak heart.
But. After all, after thousands of years of feudal culture in China, Confucian ideas are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, Li Guo was in his own jurisdiction, on the one hand, under the banner of respecting Confucianism, and on the other hand, strictly controlling the spread of Confucianism.
For this reason, Nie Xin ridiculed Li Guo, "Master Hu, you are also a person with different hearts." ”
Li Guo scolded, "Don't talk about fucking nonsense, you prepare well first, according to my ideas, hand me over to you and manage the things taught by Beihai University Hall of Chinese Studies!" Just don't make something useless. ”
Nie Xin smiled and left, he was also one of the planners of Beihai University Hall.
The principal of Beihai University Hall is naturally Li Guo, the word president is not understood by the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the highest educational institution in the Ming Dynasty is called Guozijian. Nie Xin wanted to persuade Li Guo to change the Beihai University Hall to the Beihai National Prison, but Li Guo shook his head, it was not appropriate, it would give people a tongue, because the situation at this time was very different.
The butterfly effect since Li Guo traveled has completely changed the pattern of various forces in the late Ming Dynasty, and in the original time and space, many people who were not important in history have also undergone earth-shaking changes in their strength. So, keep a low profile.
In addition to Li Guo, the principal, Li Guo also divided several vice principals. Those who were divided were very rare to the word headmaster and did not understand the meaning of the word.
Nie Xin still reads a lot of books, thinking about it, he slammed his head. said, "I understand, Lord Tiger wants to govern the country with filial piety, and filial piety is the first of all kinds." The meaning of filial piety is to put filial piety first. ”
When everyone heard this, they all opened their mouths to praise, and Nie Xin still understood what he said.
At the beginning of the establishment of the school, Li Guo wanted to create a language class, that is, a foreign language class. Naturally, in the future, when China is strong, people from other countries will take the initiative to learn our Chinese language. However, there are many European instructors who have difficulty communicating with their students, so including these instructors, learn various languages such as Mandarin and Portuguese.
Liu Ruye's Portuguese is very good, and when Li Guo didn't understand Portuguese, he also came out to help translate. Therefore, after obtaining the consent of Huang Xiu and Li Guo again, he also came out to be a teacher. However, at this time, there were many people who could speak foreign languages, and there were many restrictions on women at that time, so showing up again was resisted by Nie Xin and others.
Li Guo knew that Liu Ru was just not staying at home, so he promised Liu Ru the false name of being a teacher, but in fact, he was just by his side. After all, Liu Ru was born in the dust, and it is still okay to wait for people.
Talena, the daughter of the former governor Carlos, who had a good relationship with Liu Ru, saw that her father was made a baron, and her will was no longer depressed, and her mood was much better. When she heard that Liu Ru had become a teacher, she was envious, so she begged Liu Ru to help her talk to Li Guo and let her become a teacher too.
Li Guo was refreshed and immediately agreed. It's just that these two female teachers haven't taken a class, they just followed Li Guo's side, and they became Li Guo's personal secretary in modern language.
Li Guo instead said, "Follow me and learn slowly, you will always be able to use it in the future." ”
The two girls didn't know if it was fake, so they nodded again and again, and followed Li Guo justifiably.
Nie Xin's Portuguese language was learned early and was very good, so he was a teacher in the language class. But Nie Xin also has an identity, that is, he focuses on courses such as ideological education, and he is the vice principal of these courses.
To put it bluntly, the curriculum led by Nie Xin is the Confucian set of monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons. Li Guo didn't talk about it, but after thinking about it again, he still had to talk about part of it. However, the king preached by Nie Xin is Li Guo, and the loyal monarch is loyal to Li Guo. The king let the ministers die, and the ministers had to die, which is about Li Guo's death, and whoever dies will have to die, and there is no room for bargaining. As much as Li Guo despises these, Li Guo now needs people to have a personality cult of himself! It's stupid, but it's important and necessary at this moment.
There are two vice principals of the military discipline, and Qi Laohan was originally doing this work, and he was one. The combat methods and military thinking of the Ming Dynasty army were the most advanced in the world, and Qi Laohan taught military affairs worthy of the name.
For the navy, Carlos has a lot of experience, but he lost Malacca because he was too careless, and Carlos always told the students what happened to him, and let his painful experience remind every student not to be careless.
The other two subjects that Li Guo was not going to establish were music and art. (To be continued)
