Chapter 209: The Night Banquet (4)
The hot summer is passing away, and in August, the weather is getting cooler.
In summer, the capital is also hot, especially in the low-lying river, and the number of students is large, and the Song family is like a stove.
But it's also this year, maybe there will be some time next summer, and it's good to pass. Song Jiu planned to be in the river, but Hebei did not dare to mention it, which was a wise approach. Even in the river, there are still very few people making noise. But there are not many, and there are many houses demolished, including Song Jiu's house, which was also demolished in this plan. Some people's houses are larger than the Song family, but the cost may not be more than the money spent on Song Jiu's house, and there are so many students in it. How long did it take, and it was demolished.
In fact, Song Jiu wants to rebuild a better house, like the current student classroom, which is wide and bright, and the area is also large, but as soon as the students leave, can they be used as living rooms together?
Then you can install the original temperature control facilities like the main store.
Zhu'er said, "It's so expensive." β
"Zhu'er, is the money still money in my hands?"
Pearl, Yun'er, and the two twins have a great time together.
They are still young and don't want to get married, Song Jiu is up to them, that is, Zhu'er has outstanding appearance and a little wild heart, seeing that Yuping has a good ending, so she clumsily "hooked up" with Song Jiu a few times, of course, the result disappointed her.
But Hezhou is a sensation again, this time not related to construction, but to the academy.
The whole building has slid 400 meters to the west, one is that the road has been widened, the second is that the theater has also been expanded, and the third is the academy, which has also increased by more than 150 meters, but here, the river island is the widest, and the academy is nearly 600 meters long from north to south. It is equivalent to the expansion of the academy by half.
Originally, the sticker was intended to raise funds, but do you still need to raise capital now? Therefore, the design plan is not available. And it didn't attract attention. However, a few gentlemen in the school house knew about it. Song Jiu also consulted with them, and there were many people and many ideas. In addition to other aspects of mathematics, physics and chemistry, Song Jiu is not proud at all. In the end, I made a decision that I couldn't teach like a school anymore, it was too arbitrary. Every time I say a year, it is more than a year, but the college has added courses, and if it is another year, or a standard year, students will inevitably not be able to complete the study.
These discussions began at home in the spring.
After a long time of deliberation before making a decision, a beginner. One middle school, one high school. Song Jiu was ready to use primary school, middle school, and university, so that Dr. Zhang scolded him severely, do you know what a primary school university is? Anyway, it's a pronoun, so why bother relying on Confucianism in the university and primary school. There are five grades for beginners, and the first year of initiation education mainly teaches literacy and some arithmetic basics. In the second year, he taught Song Jiu the knowledge in the enlightenment class, including some natural knowledge. Until the third grade, it was still this knowledge. But the third grade added abacus. Although the progress is slow, considering the age of the students recruited and the knowledge they can receive from their family background, this can only be the case. The fourth and fifth grades are the current first-grade content, including a small amount of knowledge in the first half of the second grade. The course is pretty much the same. The one-and-a-half-year secondary school education is divided into three years. However, the task is not light, and in addition to the original courses, there are several elective courses. Agronomy, including planting water conservancy and agricultural implements. Planting and breeding industry, if subdivided, includes melons, fruits and vegetables. Fish, animal husbandry, agriculture and forestry. Engineering includes the construction of various concrete things, such as the construction of bridges, houses, walls, fortresses, etc., and the manufacture of various instruments. Martial arts, including bow and horse and military cultivation, and the development of weapons. Philosophy, including the knowledge of the Buddha and the Legalists and Mohists, is not to let the students become their believers, but to let the students analyze them and use them for national use. Calligraphy, calligraphy and painting skills, including music and dance etiquette. The Ming Law has also become a supplementary course, but this is the in-depth study of the law, including the legal system and so on. Business, as the name suggests, business management, but not only business management, but also tax management, tax and financial gains and losses in all dynasties. The last thing is medicine, and this lesson is also important. In addition, there are three main courses: Personality, Arithmetic and Sutra. The three main courses are compulsory, and the seven minor courses must be taken two, and they are not allowed to learn all of them, and they don't have the energy, but no matter those two courses, these two courses must be learned well. Only those who pass the three-year secondary school graduation examination will be issued a college graduation certificate. Otherwise, he would not have any certificate, and the college would not recognize him as a student of the college.
There are six classes in each of the three grades of secondary school and four classes in the fifth grade of junior high school. From the third grade of primary school, students must be admitted to the outside world, until the first grade of middle school, before the final examination every year, the ranking results are archived, and the top students are admitted according to the needs of the upper and lower households. That is, how many people are admitted, those above the third-class household and those below the third-class household are all two, and the top grades are selected.
The first and second grades of the first grade of the beginner school only choose the third-class households below, the martyrs of the states and counties, that is, the children of the families of the soldiers, the righteous people, the people who do good deeds, and the filial sons, but there is one that is not restricted, that is, the good households, some of the children of the big families who often do good things can also be selected for hiring, and there is also one, Zhongfan, that is, some of the children of the chieftains who are loyal to the imperial court, but there may not be anyone to come, maybe the academy is kind, they still think that they are hostages, and they don't force it to come.
There is also an age limit, this time to study for eight years, and the year-end exam can no longer let Dr. Zhang Yaner open the back door, to be strict exams, such as accounting, the fifth grade must be passed in the first five grades, only a little review in middle school, the phenomenon of repeating grades will be very common. Therefore, the second-year students are only limited to 10 to 12 years old, too young to take care of themselves, too big to keep up with the progress. The third grade is ten to fourteen years old, and the fourth and fifth grades are thirteen to fifteen years old. Secondary school is between fifteen and eighteen years old. The second grade is promoted and is not assessed externally.
As for what is higher learning? Song Jiu hasn't thought it through yet, so he won't discuss it. There is only one plan, a course has two classes, the lower class is learning, the upper class is discussion, that is, there is no dispute to do together, make progress together, and by the way, do Mr. teaching. It takes a few years to stay in the upper class before you can become a specialist in a specialty.
But this time, all the textbooks are messed up, and some are not easy to write, especially in middle schools, such as engineering, agriculture, business, calligraphy, and martial arts. Some are good writers, but they have to ask others to help, such as Ming Lu, and Dr. Yan will definitely not be able to preside over this task alone. The scriptures are not good, Song Jiu also said, you can't just teach the scriptures, some good strategies in ancient and modern times, such as some notes of Wei Zheng, can be included in middle school textbooks. After all, half of them are to be used by the imperial court.
I can only say that there is not much of a problem in elementary school. Even most of the students can help write them all.
Therefore, Song Jiu was very busy.
Some seem difficult. Practical not difficult, for example, agronomy. It is to spend money, invite dozens of literati to all parts of the country, ask old herdsmen, experienced old farmers, or breeders, or fruit farmers, and ask them for advice, and these farmers will not give money, but will record their names. Where did the person say it? There were also some poor agricultural books for these literati to read, sort out and compare them one by one, and then also write down their names and carve them into books. This is followed by trial planting and breeding, and slowly corrected.
The same is true for the military, anyway, the imperial court has raised many old generals, so that the literati can record their experiences, and there are not too many books on military affairs. After a little tidying, there is a textbook for martial arts. The calligraphy ceremony was handed over to a few gentlemen, what Song Jiu did not do with calligraphy and painting, and Song Jiu did not take the etiquette long. The reason why they are linked. Song Jiu attaches more importance to the former, that is the real art, but this era does not value it. Instead, I looked at some messy etiquette. But these rituals are inseparable from ritual instruments, music and dance, and also involve painting and calligraphy. So put them together.
The scientific name of business is business. In fact, it is not business, it involves finance. It's not just business, so we should find small officials to record, find some good officials to inquire, including Lu Yuqing and Zhao Pu, don't think that they won't meet, on the contrary, if you don't look for them, they will be in a hurry, this is a big thing to leave a name in the teaching book, can they be missing? Even Song Jiu found Zhao Kuangyin, Your Majesty, you can also write about it. Your old man is the first general of the Great Song Dynasty. Everyone else can lack it, but you can't lack it.
Doctors must have the heart to save people, so they invited more than a dozen doctors to sort out the medical books of the past dynasties, but Song Jiu made refinements and separately divided some miscellaneous items, such as veterinarians, including livestock, and fish farmers, fruits and vegetables plague research. At present, there are no experts in this area, but there are some records in some books, and people are sent to sort them out, so that students can explore while studying in the future, and eventually become a detailed subject.
The difficult thing is engineering, and some craftsmen still cherish themselves with brooms and never confide half a truth.
And Song Jiu's direction must be grasped well.
This movement is too big, just sending records of the literati reached 167 people, the capital sent countless poor literati, in the past two years because of Song Jiu, they all have a plan, not worried about their livelihood.
Song Jiu is sorting out the textbooks at home, a two-step plan, the first step is preliminary, the textbooks of each grade have to be compiled, this is done by the students, but Song Jiu is responsible for reviewing, and then ask the doctor of Guozijian to be responsible for word processing.
It's other doctors, and they have nothing to do with Yan and Zhang, they are also very busy, and they don't have time to go to Hezhou for open-air education.
When Yuping was in Shundian, Pan Li'er would sit on the side and watch, occasionally handing over a cup of tea, or watching over Pan Weizheng, and if he didn't study and went to play, she would unceremoniously pump him with a chicken feather broom. So Xiao San was very sad, so he had to become a good boy who studied hard.
At this moment, the group came to Song's house.
Zhao Kuangyin brought it, still in civilian clothes, only brought a few guards, and came on horseback, but he came twice, and the neighbors knew him, and when they saw him coming, they were up and down. Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand to let them come, and Song Jiu immediately greeted them and welcomed Zhao Kuangyin in. It's not strange to see it, Lao Zhao often does this, it's not unusual.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at the stack of manuscripts and smiled: "Song Jiu, when are you going to be busy before you can rest." β
Song Jiu said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this year will be better, and it will get better and better in the future, but the real academy is about to be established, think about it, there are more things." Maybe Wechen thinks that there will be a time to breathe in the future, but when it comes to the back, maybe something will happen again. It's not easy to be rich. Although Wechen is now rich and expensive. β
The twins hurried to serve tea.
Zhao Kuangyin glanced at them, he had heard of this, many people thought that Song Jiu was a tyrannical thing, and the Pan family spent a lot of effort in order to make up eleven pairs of twins who were as beautiful as flowers, and let Song Jiu send away nine pairs in a few days. However, Zhao Kuangyin agrees, if you talk about beautiful women, there are not too many in the world, do you want to be included in the family one by one? Why bother.
took a sip of tea and said: "Although it is bitter, your thinking has broadened my horizons. It's not good to study too much, look at those students, none of them can learn knowledge. β
Song Jiu didn't dare to answer.
Zhao Kuangyin said again: "Song Jiu, I have a question in my heart, what if Taixue also teaches like this? β
"Your Majesty. No, Wechen teaches professional talents. The beginning of the school is the general outline, and the middle school begins to be subdivided. When you go to high school, you are a professional, a professional, not an official. If it is still possible to be a petty official, once the large-scale education begins, and a good official goes down with all kinds of high-level talents, then there are professionals to guide them in the accounts of agriculture, industry, commerce, military medicine, law, etiquette and arithmetic, as long as these officials are not greedy or inky, and can humbly listen to their opinions. And not harsh on the people, with a little wisdom, one side can be governed. However, as the leading officials, they can't, first, they are subdivided, and the more they learn, the more prominent they are in their profession, but their comprehensive ability will deteriorate. The second is that being an official is not only talented, but also must have scheming and scheming. Even if you are an official, there is no latter. It is difficult for them to survive in officialdom. β
"Is scheming important?"
"Your Majesty, listen to the truth or listen to the lie?"
"Let's talk about it."
"Falsehood is power and strategy, and it is also a science, even if it is Sun Tzu's Art of War, it is martial arts. In fact, many tactics are also used to conspire with contingencies. The truth is that this conspiracy has generated a lot of infighting, and one by one they will do everything for their own interests, regardless of their business. The whole country and the nation are consumed in this infighting. Otherwise, with the fertility of the Central Plains and the industriousness of the people of this nation, it is not only the Khitan. What Dan is not the opponent of the Chinese nation. This is like the Qin State, it is precisely because of unity that it can eventually become strong. However, after Li Si wrote the exhortation of the guest, he did not know that Lu Dao regarded the Six Kingdoms as the territory of the Qin Dynasty, and expropriated the Six Kingdoms violently, and finally collapsed. β
Song Jiu didn't say much, the imperial court could let the academy run, and even acquiesced to the establishment of these specialties, which was already a great progress, and could no longer be forced, and said: "This is a tradition for thousands of years, and it can be destroyed by non-human beings." However, although Taixue can't teach like the academy, it does have to reflect on it, and it can't teach like this, and it can't teach like that. How, Weichen doesn't know. β
"What if Taixue adds a strategy?"
Song Jiu smiled, it seemed that he had asked Dr. Zhang Yan to increase the policy theory and also attracted the attention of some ministers, and said: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing to increase the policy theory, but it depends on how to teach, for example, Tang Taizong broke the Turks, and the courtiers said that the Northern Di was scattered in Henan Prefecture, teaching them to cultivate and weave, and turning captives into people." Yan Shigu said that he would put it in Hebei, set up chiefs, and lead his own department. Li Baiyao said that each division is divided into its own departments, so that the Ashina clan only governs one part of its direct jurisdiction, then it will not be able to compete with China. Dou Jing also thought that it should not be placed on the border of Hebei, but his wife and the daughter of the clan, and divided his land, so that each department became smaller and weaker one by one, even if the harm was not serious. Wen Yanbo agreed with Yan Shigu's intention and said that the Han Dynasty also did the same. Wei Zheng disagreed, saying that Yidi was human-faced and beast-hearted, if weak, please obey, and if strong, he would rebel, saying allusions to the Han Dynasty, and looking at the early Jin Dynasty, Guo Qinjiangtong saw Zhuhu and the people living together, and persuaded Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty to drive out of the Saiwai, but Emperor Wu did not listen, and after a few decades, Wu Chao made me Huaxia. Wen Yanbo said that there is no class in teaching, and as long as the teaching is good, there will be no nonsense. Taizong listened to Wen Yanbo's words, the Anshi Rebellion was there, and the northwest of Shaanxi was full of Qiangbo tribes, and maybe it would also become a disaster for our dynasty. β
Zhao Kuangyin nodded, Song Jiu wrote his thoughts when he went south to Hunan, and he didn't say that if he didn't move, it would become a problem if he didn't get it right, so Song Jiu's idea was to weaken, that is, to divide them, and divide them into smaller tribes, and the second was to sinicize, spread their civilization, teach them to cultivate and weave, and establish education, so that their lives would become better, become rich, and integrate Han and barbarian. Not all of them were adopted, but some of them were adopted. Some of the ideas are naΓ―ve, but given their seniority, they are gratifying.
Song Jiu said again: "Therefore, I judge Taizong's fault, it is not the fault of the expedition to Goryeo, once Princess Wencheng marries, this is not wrong, but it is not appropriate to bring tens of thousands of craftsmen." The second is this placement. But when I teach this history, I will put forward a hypothesis, if the Tang Dynasty uses Li Baiyao's strategy will be successful, don't look at it reasonable, it is actually difficult, for example, can it really suppress the prestige of the Ashina clan? Just like the prestige of Tuoba Li's family in the northwest, or the prestige of Peng's family in Beijiang, Hunan. Or move between Henan and Jianghuai, and whether it will be successful. It is a good thing to turn captives into Han, both for our people, how to divide Han captives, if there is no such mentality, how can we tolerate the world. β
"Well said."
"Your Majesty, I don't dare, but there is one thing, these Hu Yu live on nomadic herding, and their living habits are different, not Goryeo, most of them are farming, and half are herding, so a group of people have been safe and sound in Huainan, so that today, all of them have merged into the Chinese population. So what happens if it's really settled? I will put forward these two hypotheses and let the students discuss, so what will happen to the students after they learn? However, the gentlemen on the Taixue side made the students treat the gentlemen according to strict etiquette, to be respectful, to be polite, not to ask questions, not to question. In fact, the students in it are all in the Yanei, who is afraid of whom, so Mr. is not happy to teach, and the students have not really learned any knowledge. This rigid education is not improved, just like I put a hundred students under Wang Quanbin's account, can Wang Quanbin treat the people of Bashu well? β
Zhao Kuangyin drank tea bitterly.
Song Jiu said: "The nature is also different, the academy is not to train officials, just small officials or other talents, what is needed is vitality, innovation, imagination, must have unbridled thinking and thinking ability, and the restraint cannot be too much, otherwise it will stick to the old rules." It's an official over there, if it's too whimsical and unrestrained, then what's the matter? Therefore, Weichen knows that he has learned all kinds of things, but he can't start. β
This question should continue to make Zhao Kuangyin continue to have a headache, the main thing is that Song Jiu can't interfere, so there will be more taboos.
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly asked, "Can your gunpowder blow down the Taiyuan city wall?" β
"Blow up the Taiyuan city wall?" (To be continued......)
