Chapter 73: Construction Site (First Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Significant!
If a student from Zhonghua School walked up to Tang Haoran and asked if he was important, Tang Haoran would give such an answer with great certainty.
This is a very simple answer.
It can even be said that no one knows better than Tang Haoran the importance of the orphans in the Chinese School.
In a way, these modern-educated orphans will play a role in the future that will not only be played by technicians and researchers, but also by a much more important role that will even change the country.
Talent!
In this era, Tang Haoran knew what kind of talent could be lacking -- except for dozens of young children studying in the United States, there were no more available talents around him, so that the thirst for talents had never stopped, and in order to meet the demand for talents for the construction of the Special Economic Zone, even the primary task of the company in the United Kingdom was not to purchase equipment, but to introduce talents.
Not only the company needs it, but even the Chinese school, which is one of the basic education, has to use foreign teachers, because there is no suitable "primary school teacher" in the country.
Only people who have been in contact with this era know how conservative they are, for those who know that "there are four ways to write back words", but do not know geography, do not know nature, and do not know what science is, Tang Haoran is naturally desperate, maybe he values Chinese studies, but valuing Chinese studies does not mean ignoring the progress of Western science and technology, what can those traditional scholars bring to the country? Can it bring prosperity and strength to the country?
The answer is no.
And any change will come at the cost of shattering the old interest class, and if the old wine is bottled in a new bottle, continue to appoint the old era of scholars as officials. They will do everything possible to protect the interests of the old era. Compared to those who read. Tang Haoran prefers to believe in the talents he has cultivated. More importantly, these orphans have no connection with the country, and they will not be affected by China's complex network of relationships, which dooms them to be different from traditional officials and scholars, and on the road to building modern China, what is needed is a group of officials who can carry out the orders of the central government to the letter, and these children are the best choice.
Of course, they may be too young. There is a lack of experience, but it may be able to play an unexpected role as a grassroots official, such as serving as a grassroots civil servant and a judge, who has no personal relationship with the people in China, so that they can be truly impartial and impartial in China's complex network of people, so as to establish a strict and selfless image of the law.
"What we need now is to educate as many students as we can, 40,000, 50,000, 100,000, students. Naturally, the more the merrier! The more the merrier, after all. What we need to do here is people who have received a new education! ”
Is it important to learn from the West?
In the past, it was difficult for Li Guangguang to understand the importance of Western talents, but now, with the establishment of factories and mines, he seems to be able to understand the painstaking efforts of adults, running factories and mines and even training soldiers, all need talents who are proficient in Western studies, there are many people who read sage books, but people who can read sage books may be able to be officials, but if they are used in industry, they are useless. How to weave yarn? How to repair the road?
As the secretary general of the East Asian Literature Society, Li Guangguang now also wants to learn Western knowledge, if it is replaced by others, he may be a little disdainful, but he knows whether he can stand firm in Fuzhong, and this Western knowledge has a lot to do with this Western knowledge, but he does not choose such as metallurgy, road construction, chemistry and other sciences, that kind of Western knowledge is difficult to achieve without more than ten years of hard work.
Therefore, he chose education in a different way, which is the way he learned from "Tai Xi Ce", such as Prussia and Japan, all of them take education as the way to rejuvenate the country, as the compiler of "Tai Xi Ce", adults naturally value education, and how can there be talents who are good at education around him?
So Li Guangguang studied Western education, is it just to be Humboldt next to adults?
Of course not, he needs to rely on education as a foothold in the house, and not in the eyes of adults, he is just a person who reads sages and knows officialdom.
"My lord, in my opinion, in school, there is no shortage of fourteen or fifteen years old, even sixteen or seventeen years old, their age is old, many years of wandering have caused bad habits, in the school I am afraid that the bad habits will be passed on to the young, in my opinion, it is better to include them in the police department, practice their minds can be used,"
When he tentatively proposed this proposal, Li Guangguang deliberately emphasized again.
"After all, school education is now primary, and people up to the age of sixteen or seventeen are more likely to receive literacy education than to follow the rules of school......
Li Guangguang's words made Tang Haoran smile disapprovingly, he had been a volunteer, he naturally knew the impact of years of wandering on the young man's mind, and he also knew that his wandering experience made him pay more attention to family affection.
"The heart needs to be honed, but not in the police department, but in the school, the school is a place for them to live a normal life, and the school will give them a sense of home, only so ......"
In this way, they will be loyal to their families and parents, and this loyalty is exactly what they need, the reason why they spend a huge amount of money to search for homeless orphans everywhere, raise them and educate them, Tang Haoran has his own selfishness, give these orphans help, educate them, raise them, and the reward they ask for is their loyalty, and in the future, they will spend their lives to repay their "kindness".
"In this way, their minds can grow up healthily, instead of blindly relying on the violent restraint in the army and sharpening them, and furthermore, what they have learned in two or three years of school education is far more than what they have learned in literacy classes, which is more conducive to their future growth."
Whether it is the education of workers or policemen, it often focuses on literacy, but the school education is systematic and comprehensive, according to the teaching arrangement of the school objectives, after receiving two or three years of education, it is basically equal to the level of Japanese primary and secondary schools, which seems to be very low, but in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese Army, which is known as the extremely high education process, only 40% of the junior and primary education level, and 60% of the illiterate people, even so, the Japanese army has also become the "higher" army in this era, and it is the education that Japan is ahead of its contemporaries. So that the Japanese army has high-quality soldiers.
And if there is a qiē shun lì, the number of students in the school will exceed 30,000 next year, and one-third of them will be over 17 years old in three years, which means that in three years, the police force can absorb at least tens of thousands of soldiers with a certain education, who are not only soldiers, but also the backbone of the army after the expansion.
The carriage continued to move forward, and finally stopped at the edge of a construction site, where hundreds of workers in cotton clothes were sweating and busy on the snowy construction site, which was the construction site of Hanren Iron.
"Hey......"
With the sound of the horn, more than a dozen laborers can be seen carrying several meters of steel rails, walking along the roadbed.
"What are you doing!"
When Tang Haoran and his entourage approached the construction site, an overseer looked at the comer and hurriedly shouted loudly.
"This old brother, it's not like I haven't seen the construction of railways in the past, no, come to North Korea to do some business, by the way!"
As soon as he saw that someone was stopping, Li Guangguang hurriedly said flatteringly.
If you show your identity, you will naturally not encounter such a thing, but now what Tang Haoran wants is to understand the situation on the railway construction site, this railway, which is only more than 30 kilometers, for North Korea, to be precise, the importance of the unified supervision office is self-evident, although it is only more than 30 kilometers from Seoul to Incheon, it only takes six or seven hours by carriage, and it naturally does not matter if this distance is put aside, but now, such a small distance restricts the possibility of Tang Haoran directly managing the Special Administrative Zone.
After all, for Tang Haoran, who is responsible for the unification of the superintendent, he still needs to fulfill the responsibility of supervising North Korea, and it is impossible to be in two places and handle the affairs of the two places in Seoul or Inchon at the same time. Once the railroad was built, this would change, and it would only take more than an hour to travel between the two places, so that Tang Haoran could directly control the construction of the special zone and ensure control of the Korean government in Seoul.
When the overseer heard Li Guangguang say this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Yo, listen to you, it looks like Shandong?"
When the general set was almost, Li Guangguang hurriedly said in Northern Jiangsu dialect.
"Xuzhou's and Shandong's are next to each other."
"Oh, that's not far, you see, don't get in the way of others......"
After a few exhortations, the overseer continued to urge the workers to work, while Tang Haoran and Li Guangguang walked along the railway site, which was almost finished, with a layer of gravel on the rammed earth and workers laying sleepers or nails to fix the rails.
After walking more than 100 meters, you can see several foreigners holding drawings and a Chinese in suits, talking there, as the first railway in North Korea, the Inhan Railway was built by Zhan Tianyou and others, and a number of foreign technicians were also hired to assist in the construction.
"It's for them, let's go over and have a look!"
When he saw that the person discussing with the foreign technician was Zhan Tianyou, Tang Haoran hurriedly walked over, and when he was still more than ten meters away from Zhan Tianyou and the others, a young man who was following Zhan Tianyou saw Tang Haoran and his party, and hurriedly reminded Zhan Tianyou.
"My lord? How did you get here? ”
Looking at the adults who suddenly came to the construction site, Zhan Tianyou's face was full of surprise, it was still snowing this day, why did the adults come at this time?
"No, look at the snow, I'll come to the construction site to see, how is it, sincerity, things on the construction site are going well? After the Chinese New Year, can this road be put into use? (To be continued......)
