"Education is the only way to make a country strong!"

When he said this, Tang Haoran silently took a cigar in his mouth and stopped talking, but his seemingly calm expression had a hint of desolation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Education powerhouse!

It seems that everyone understands this truth, whether it is the people of the present or the people of the future, everyone understands this truth, at least in people's words, all of them are the same - the way to a strong country lies in attaching importance to education. It's just that each is different, and the natural result is also different.

It seems that Chinese people always walk between attention and neglect, and have never achieved "consistent" attention, and even in many cases, the so-called "attention" only exists verbally, and even Tang Haoran himself is reading the "compulsory education" of paying tuition and miscellaneous fees.

In contrast, Tang Haoran was a little jealous of the Japanese and even Koreans as close neighbors. These two East Asian countries, in another time and space, have always attached great importance to education, for fear that if they are not careful, they will lead to the failure of the country and the nation because of their neglect of education.

In particular, in the early days of the Meiji Restoration, Japan sent a delegation to study the West and revise the New Testament, and although it did not achieve the goal of revising the New Testament, it found what they saw as the way to become a strong country: education.

The Meiji government, in order to establish Japan as a country that could resist and compete with the invasion of Western powers, emphasized the importance of education from the very beginning of the Restoration. Moreover, whether or not they attach importance to education is an important basis for evaluating the performance of officials at all levels, and some local officials have taken the blame for failing to do a good job in local education. So it took only 50 years for Japan. It has completed the path that Britain and France and other European and American countries have traveled in education for more than 200 years, and laid a solid foundation for the revitalization and development of Japan in the future.

The success of modern Japan was not so much the success of the Restoration as the success of education. After the end of World War II. In the immediate immediate aftermath of the end of the Korean War, Korea, which became independent from Japanese colonial rule, restored the colonial education system that had been damaged by the war, and on the basis of it, imitated the model of Japan itself, established a six-year compulsory education, and regarded education as the foundation for the revitalization of the country and nation, as Japan had done, although it had undergone many military coups during the period. But even the military dictatorship has not changed the fundamentals of its emphasis on education. After decades of accumulation of education, it became known as the "Miracle of the Han River", and education was the springboard for South Korea to catch up.

Two countries, similar but the same journey. All of them take education as a breakthrough in the development of the country, and education has not failed them, and the emphasis on education has made them richly rewarded.

Thinking of the absurdity of "the more knowledge, the more reactionary" and the so-called "re-education of the poor and middle peasants", after a wry smile. Tang Haoran withdrew his thoughts, which had become a little frivolous. smiled apologetically at Rong Shangqin.

"Helan, I'm distracted again!"

The handsome's apologetic smile made Rong Shangqin hurriedly polite, and after agreeing with the adults' views on education and lamenting that the importance of education is really a blessing in the Northeast, he reported the sending countries of the international students one by one. As Tang Haoran expected at the beginning, as he expected, half of the more than 1,000 international students were sent to Germany.

If in the afterlife of the XXI century. For the vast majority of students, the preferred study abroad destination is definitely the United States. For students who aspire to science and engineering, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a world-renowned university with science and technology education, is the "first choice" of most science and engineering students in the world, and this school was said to have brought the innovative spirit of science to the fullest in history at that time, and was the n0.1 among science and engineering schools in the world.

But that's only in the 21st century, and that's after the mid-to-late 20th century. At the end of the nineteenth century, the best universities in the world were not in the United States. But in Europe, in Germany, even America's brightest and most ambitious young people go as far as Germany to study for doctorates at universities in cities like Heidelberg, Leipzig, and Güngenting. Every university in Germany is a sacred place for young people in other countries. They studied German science, education, and everything that Germany had to offer, and tried to replicate German higher education in their own countries, such as the United States, whose higher education in the late 19th century was a comprehensive study of Germany, and throughout the 19th century, the influence of German universities on American higher education was huge and long-lasting. From 1815 to 1914, there were 10,000 American students studying in Germany. After returning to China, most of these scholars have become the main force in teaching and scientific research in American universities, and have become leaders in disseminating German academic thought.

It can be said that it is the study of Germany that has enabled the upstart to lay a solid educational foundation and an intellectual foundation for its rise.

For this reason, the large number of international students sent to Germany has naturally become the first choice of the Ministry of Education. Of course, Tang Haoran will not have any doubts about this. However, if there had been no intellectual outflow from Europe before and after World War II, there would have been no rise of higher education in the United States in the mid-to-late 20th century.

"I believe that the achievements of these international students in the future will definitely amaze the Westerners who have always despised me as Chinese, but they will first of all amaze their professors."

Astonished!

Maybe it's more accurate to use this word, just like before the establishment of the Tongwen College, Tang Haoran contempt for those students who can only care about it, or maybe there is prejudice to it. But after the completion of the East Asian Tongwen School in China and the college in Incheon, in the face of those students who learned foreign languages in less than a year, and could use foreign language to attend classes, read and write, Tang Haoran, who was as tired as a dog in order to learn foreign languages, naturally had only amazement.

Of course, for those who quickly master a foreign language, Tang Haoran can also attribute it to their "training" of reciting the "Book of Sages" year after year. However, when they learn mathematics, physics and other science knowledge, their performance is also beyond the level of later generations of college students, at least their learning speed is extremely fast, and after they are admitted to the same literature college from the same language school in China, their mathematics level is not lower than the level of foreign university preparatory or high school. Although its level of mathematics is still not comparable to that of later generations of students. But it was enough to impress Tang Haoran.

Not to mention those children under the age of 24, who are talented and impressive in their studies, even to the point of appalling. Even those "advanced accelerated normal students" in normal schools. Although he received military training in school and lived a barracks-style life, he seemed to pay more attention to barracks-style discipline than his studies.

In fact, to a certain extent, this is true, because the accelerated normal students are only elementary school teachers, and although they have less schoolwork, those who are generally in their thirties also show amazing intelligence—which can be used in just a few months. Raise math from primary to secondary level, some of whom are gifted with language and can even converse in a simple foreign language.

It is because of the understanding of all this. Therefore, Tang Haoran really realized that the "IQ" of scholars in this era is no wonder that "thousands of children are gathered in the city, and more than a dozen people are selected as students; Thousands of people are gathered in the province. Pull out hundreds of dozens of people to lift people; Thousands of people gather in the world. Pull out hundreds of dozens of people for Jinshi. Recovered from hundreds of dozens of jinshi, and pulled out more than a dozen people into Hanlin. Under such a seemingly difficult selection, the rest are naturally the elite of the elite, and it is this kind of emphasis that makes Tang Haoran full of expectations for these children, students and even international students from a high background, to be precise, full of expectations for their future achievements, and perhaps many famous experts and scholars will be born among them.

And to their professor's amazement. They can also invite their teachers to China as visiting scholars, after all, Northeastern University will open next year. At least until our students return home from their studies abroad, we still can't do without those foreign scholars! ”

Compared with the East Asian College of Liberal Arts, which has a strong professional atmosphere, Northeastern University is a real university, but in this real university, except for a few professors of Chinese studies, there are no Chinese professors, and the only way to solve the problem of professors is to hire foreign teachers like the Faculty of Letters, and the role of foreign teachers is not only to teach, but also to play the role of "advisers" to the government.

"What the marshal said is that compared to what we hired in the West, those students go to Western countries, and through the professor's lectures, they can naturally distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the professor, so it is easier to invite professors with real talents!"

Although the government is extremely strict in the hiring of foreign employees and professors, it is inevitable that there will always be some people who are confused or unworthy of the name, and the former will naturally be dismissed, and the latter will often be demoted.

Now for the Ministry of Education, in addition to the selection of international students, the training of teachers and the establishment of primary schools are the most important, after all, primary education is the foundation and the cornerstone of the entire education building.

“…… About 40 percent of the primary school buildings are made use of old government and public buildings, and 33 percent are used by private houses; of course, this is only a temporary emergency measure, after all, according to the plan, all children over the age of six and under the age of 16 in the three provinces and regions must be enrolled in school and receive four years of complete primary primary education, and next year the entire northeast needs to build more than 1,800 schools and hire 7,000 teachers......

When Rong Shangqin explained the planning of the primary school, Tang Haoran just kept nodding. The emphasis on primary education is Tang Haoran's experience in attracting education to later generations, and of course, to a certain extent, it is also influenced by Japanese education experts, to a certain extent, primary school is more important than university, because not all people have to receive university education, and almost all people have to receive primary education. The height of China's civilization is determined by the top intellectuals, but in the sense of the bottom line, the civilization water standard of a nation as a whole is determined by all Chinese. What kind of primary education all Chinese receive, this nation is basically what it is. It is precisely for this reason that he has taken vigorously grasping primary education as the focus of his efforts to rapidly popularize national education and transform the quality of the people.

"Learning can be called the capital ...... of life"

After Rong Shangqin's words fell, Tang Haoran said slowly.

"The reason why the country is prosperous, strong and healthy is due to the development of national talents. Civilization is a civilization, it really depends on the civilization of ordinary people, and the most fundamental point for us to seek knowledge in the world and reproduce the vigorous vitality of China is to arm the minds of the people with modern scientific and cultural knowledge and skills from childhood, so we must do a good job in primary education, and ...... Helan, this is also the fundamental difference between us and Kannai in the future! ”

The handsome Rong Shangqin was stunned for a moment, and then he hesitated for a while, and then said.

"Marshal, do you know that Hiroyuki Kato, a former member of the Japanese House of Nobles, and others have arrived in Tianjin? I really don't know what kind of changes they will bring to Kannai! ”

When mentioning Hiroshi Kato, Yung Shangqin couldn't help but think of the recent period of Japanese who fled Japan, some of them came to Tohoku and became company employees or even government employees, but a considerable number of people went to Kannai, and Tianjin was the first choice, and they always brought some changes there to a greater or lesser extent.

"Changing ......"

After pondering for a moment, Tang Haoran thought of a piece of information he had obtained before, the famous Tianjin Machinery Bureau hired a new general office a week ago, Murata Jingfang, the former consultant of the Tokyo Arsenal left Japan with his family a month ago, arrived in Tianjin, and presented Li Hongzhang with a list of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau.

He enumerated the various deficiencies of the manufacturing bureau and pointed out that with proper modern management, the Tianjin manufacturing bureau could achieve three times the production capacity with the same funds. In his opinion, the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau has very good machines, and now the low production capacity and high cost are completely mismanaged.

However, Li Hongzhang did not directly hand over the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau to him, but first handed over the gunpowder factory to his management, which was only half a month in office, the factory's production capacity increased rapidly, and the cost also dropped by more than 50%, the success of the gunpowder factory made Li Hongzhang let go of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau to his Murata Jingfang management, as for what the Japanese can bring to the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, Tang Haoran is not clear, but at least one thing is certain, the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau will get rid of the old management chaos, While achieving orderly development, the Beiyang Land and Naval Division is very likely to take the lead in achieving self-sufficiency in weapons.

Maybe that's the wings of a butterfly!

Thinking of many Japanese officials and scholars entering the Beiyang Yamen, Tang Haoran couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of change, it was he who originally formulated the introduction of Japanese intelligence, but now it seems that Li Hongzhang has picked up a big bargain by virtue of his reputation in East Asia - many people prefer to take refuge in Li Hongzhang rather than himself!

"This ...... Hiroyuki Kato......"

After a slight pause, Tang Haoran asked in a somewhat curious tone.

"Who is it? Is it important? ”
