The current national government is actually a bit strange, although it is a presidential system, but there is a cabinet of ministers. And if he is a cabinet system, almost all the power is in the hands of Yan Shao, the president.

However, the current system of the national government is actually a continuation of the Beiyang government, so no one has any objections to this. Even if there were, it was just a bunch of parliamentary guys, not satisfied with their vase status.

Then, as once introduced, there are a total of eighteen departments in the cabinet, and Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei are the first and second leaders of the Ministry of Education.

It's just that when he looked at Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei, Yan Shao couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, for the position of Minister of Education, Yan Shaozheng hopes that Cai Yuanpei will take it, after all, Cai Yuanpei can be said to be the most famous educator and scholar in history, even Yan Shao, a degenerate student who takes care of reading novels, sleeping or reading comics in class, has also heard of Cai Yuanpei's famous name―――――― of course, Tang Shaoyi's reputation is definitely not small, but there are still some stains in his reputation, and it is nothing when compared with others, but compared with Cai Yuanpei...

According to some accounts that Yan Shao learned in later generations, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Tang Shaoyi adhered to Chiang's will and secretly negotiated peace conditions with the Japanese. After the fall of Shanghai, he did not retreat westward, but still stayed in Fukaisen Road (now No. 40 Wukang Road) in the French Concession of Shanghai. However, it was under the secret surveillance of the Kuomintang military commanders. In September 1938, Kenji Dohihara, the head of the Japanese secret service, personally went to Shanghai to hold talks with Tang Shaoyi. Woo Tang Shaoyi out of the mountain. Tsai Cheng-jen, a Taiwanese who was a high-ranking spy at the Japanese secret service "Katayama" in Shanghai at that time, informed the head of the Shanghai group of the Military Command, who obtained information through Tang Shaoyi's female secretary, including the agreement signed between Tang Shaoyi and Japan. The photo was then handed over to Dai Li, and because the evidence was clear, he was 'allowed to be sanctioned'.

Because he knew that Tang Shaoyi was fond of antiques, the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau spent a lot of money to buy a pair of Song porcelain vases, and the advance agent Xie Zhipan went to Tang Shaoyi's mansion, saying that there were a batch of antiques that he was willing to sell cheaply. Tang Shaoyi was overjoyed when she heard this, so she agreed to have the goods delivered to her door by an antique dealer on September 30. After that, Zhao Lijun, the head of the operation team of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, personally went out and dressed as an antique dealer. Carrying a number of antiques, and his assistants Xie Zhipan and Li Ada, they came to the Tang Mansion in a car and killed Tang Shaoyi. After Tang Shaoyi's assassination. Some Kuomintang veterans were very dissatisfied with the failure to grasp the conclusive evidence of Tang Shaoyi's intemperance. Kill them. Jiang ordered the funeral expenses of 5,000 yuan, and the life and deeds of Tang Shaoyi were deposited in the National History Museum to calm the turmoil.

――――――――――――――――――――

Although this is just some relevant information that Yan Shao saw on the Internet in his later life, the authenticity is not very clear, but this still makes Yan Shao's heart have some small bumps, and at the same time, he also wants a figure like Cai Yuanpei to serve as the Minister of Education.

It's a pity that Tang Shaoyi once served as the prime minister of the first cabinet and has a great reputation. Although Cai Yuanpei is relatively famous, he can only be regarded as an educator.

In addition, Yan Shao was unwilling to let Tang Shaoyi hold any particularly important positions. So in the case of no way, Tang Shaoyi can only be the Minister of Education.

However, unlike Yan Shao's helplessness, Tang Shaoyi likes the position of Minister of Education. So although he has changed from the prime minister of the cabinet to the minister of education, Tang Shaoyi has not complained at all.

And when doing things, it can also be called dedication.

So although Yan Shao has some small bumps in his heart, he has never troubled Tang Shaoyi―――――― which is not surprising, after all, China is thriving today, especially when he defeated Japan some time ago. Not to mention whether Tang Shaoyi really defected to the Japanese in history, did those traitors really want to be traitors when they were born?

If their country is about to perish, these people will naturally want to sell their country for glory, but if their country is strong, and the country that bought them falls into a trap, in this case, it is not the traitors who want to sell the country for glory, but two hundred and five...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Sitting on the sofa, Yan Shao looked at the plan in his hand with relish, while Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei looked at Yan Shao with some nervousness. There is no way, if it is just an ordinary plan, it will be forgotten, but at the moment the plan is nationwide, and they also know the financial situation of the national government, although it is much stronger than in the past, but without Yan Shao's support, the national government itself is obviously unable to support such a big plan.

Therefore, whether this plan can succeed or not depends entirely on Yan Shao.

Compulsory education...

Compulsory education originated in Germany. Religious leader Martin? Luther was the first to propose the concept of compulsory education. After the victory of the Reformation, Luther enacted the Compulsory Education Act in order to enable people to study the Bible. In 1619, the school decree promulgated by the German state of Weimar stipulated that parents should send their children aged 6~12 to school, otherwise the government could force them to fulfill their obligations. This was the beginning of compulsory education. Between 1763 and 1819, Germany basically perfected the compulsory education regulations. After the Industrial Revolution, compulsory education played the role of enabling people to master industrial knowledge, and the duration of compulsory education also developed from the earliest 3 months to 6 months to 6 years and until 9 years. Most capitalist countries such as Britain, France, and the United States implemented compulsory education after the 70s of the 19th century.

There are many obstacles to compulsory education, but money is definitely the main one.

However, Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei, as well as those officials in the Ministry of Education, are very enthusiastic about this matter, after all, the officials who joined the Ministry of Education in this era can basically be called educators, even Tang Shaoyi once served as the first president of Shandong University.

As early as the Beiyang period, these educators once dreamed of compulsory education, but unfortunately the ironclad facts destroyed their dreams ―――――― had no money.

In the case of the Beiyang government, or even the earlier provisional government, they simply did not have that much money to implement compulsory education. Even if there were, they would rather invest their money in the military than in some so-called education ...

But Yan Shao's side is different. What's more, Yan Shao himself is very aware of the importance of education, so he didn't even need Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei to make a joint request to take the initiative to raise the matter of compulsory education.

This also made Tang Shaoyi and others overjoyed, but before appropriating the funds, Yan Shao also said it very clearly.

Compulsory education is to be carried out, but step by step, and the Ministry of Education must have a plan. Otherwise, a face-to-face interview, which is also one of the reasons why Tang Shaoyi and they will come over this time...

――――――――――――――――――――

Seeing Yan Shao looking very carefully there. Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei glanced at each other, and then Cai Yuanpei spoke.

"Our plan is to make free and compulsory education in every city in China first, and strive to let the children in the city take the lead. And then there are the towns and villages around the city. As for those villages around the city..."

When talking about the village, Cai Yuanpei and Tang Shaoyi both frowned.

"It's a bit unrealistic to run a school in a village, so the idea of the Ministry of Education is to deal with the city and township first, and then find a way to get the children in the village to go to the school in the township, and generally speaking, the villages around the township are not particularly far from the school. Therefore, as long as the class time is postponed a little, it is not very difficult for the children in the village. And if it's a particularly long distance............... The idea is to pick a village in the middle of nowhere, and use it as the core of the surrounding villages, so that we can avoid a lot of problems and reduce the distance for the children..."

Many of these details were omitted, but Yan Shao still nodded.

Because he also knew very well that it would be unrealistic to have a school in every village. Not to mention whether there are so many educational resources, how many children can usually be in a village? You must know that in this era, sometimes a few families can be regarded as a village, and it is a bit too wasteful to assign a teacher to three or five children, even if more than ten students are equipped with a teacher, more or less...

What's more, there are still very few people who can be teachers in this era, that is, the so-called teachers, not to mention the waste of teachers for the time being, even if he is not afraid of waste, Yan Shao can't get so many teachers to come―――――― China is so big, who knows how many villages there are? What's more, there are also schools in towns and cities, it is impossible to have the same teacher as the village, there must be other subjects, and even a city may not have a school, this Yan Shao is really very clear, because in later generations, there are many schools in the city where he is located, and even in the district where he is located, there are as many as five primary schools, in addition to a high school, a university and two junior high schools...

You know, it's still a legendary fourth-tier city, and it's half an hour's drive from the city center...

But if you let them go to the surrounding towns...

It's not much in the villages around the township, after all, the distance is relatively close, and Cai Yuanpei also said that the class time of this kind of school will be postponed a little, so that the children can get up from bed without 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning and rush to school. You can wait until 6 or 7 o'clock to get up, have a beautiful breakfast, and then set off, so that the burden on the children will be much less.

And those remote villages, just find the most suitable one in them and let it play the role of those townships.

In fact, if Yan Shao is asked to say it, what he wants to get the most is the bus...

In this way, the pressure on the children can be reduced a lot, and they don't even need to walk, just be picked up by the bus. It's a pity that this idea is a little too far ahead...

You must know that at this time, China's infrastructure construction, to be precise, the construction of infrastructure in the world is not very good, if you really let the bus pick up students, they must have to have the psychological preparation that the bus may break down every day, and they are still in the middle of the road.

Even in some places where the terrain is more dangerous, you have to be careful...

And if all the villages are built with ash roads, it doesn't matter how much it costs, isn't there such a saying in later generations, if you want to be rich. Build the road first, and the road Yanshao will definitely be able to repair it. But if you want to finish it, it is absolutely impossible to do it in ten years. Not even twenty or thirty years will be possible.

And those children obviously can't wait so long, so Cai Yuanpei and Tang Shaoyi's method has become the best way.

――――――――――――――――――――

"It's a pretty good plan." After reading it and listening to Cai Yuanpei's introduction, Yan Shao nodded and said. "It's a bit sketchy, but there's a rough plan in it anyway, and that's it. I don't have to veto it. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Shao said with a smile on his face. "Later, I will advise Minister Liang to allocate 10 million funds to you first. In addition, my Yushi Group will also donate 30 million yuan, in the early stage, it should be no problem, right? ”

Ten million, plus thirty million. That's 40 million...

Hear the number. Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei suddenly became excited, after all, in the past, their Ministry of Education's annual funds may not even be able to have one-tenth of this number, and they can actually get so much funds at one time...

According to Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei's plan, at the beginning, it was only in various cities in China, such as big cities such as Beijing and Nanjing, as well as some county towns to implement compulsory education, 40 million was more than enough, and there could even be a lot of surplus―――――― and in later generations, these counties basically became cities.

When Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei raised this question. Yan Shao touched his chin and said with a smile. "Are you sincere, the rest of the money? You should stay first, after all, these 40 million are not only for running schools, but also for children to pay for tuition, you must get more teachers to come out, so that the primary schools in those towns and villages can be equipped with enough teachers, and..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao looked at Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei. "I'm afraid the elementary school I want you to run is a little different from what you think in your heart." As he spoke, Yan Shao clapped his palms, motioned for a maid to come over, and whispered in her ear.

It didn't take long for the maid to come over with something, and then handed it over to Yan Shao's hands, and finally left and returned to her original position.

Looking at the things in his hand, Yan Shao handed the things to Tang Shaoyi and Cai Yuanpei, and then said with a smile.

"This is the school I'm going to let you run..."

Nowadays, those so-called primary schools are very clear, that is, a fairly large land, some houses, and then, gone...

This is not the same as the school in Yan Shao's mind, so Yan Shao's requirements are completely planned in accordance with later generations, to be precise, according to some primary schools in the 80s or early 90s in later generations.

Among them, the teaching building must be there, in addition, there are some horizontal bars and parallel bars for exercise, as well as playgrounds and football goals in the playground, in addition to basketball courts, there should be at least two sets, this is the standard primary school in Yan Shao's mind...

Compared with the one Cai Yuanpei and the others pondered in their hearts, the superiority of this kind of primary school is undoubtedly much higher, but the cost is obviously not a small amount. After all, the venue alone is already much bigger than they planned, not to mention that there are so many facilities in it.

However, Yan Shao's idea is also very simple, since he does it, it must be done perfectly, not to mention that he doesn't want to run those schools by himself, and in the end all the nerds are taught...

――――――――――――――――――――

As once said, Yan Shao never cared about money.

Even the 30 million this time, he didn't care. Because such a small amount of money is really a drop in the bucket compared to his net worth.

What's more, this money was already ready for him.

At the beginning, the Yushi government provided a large loan to the national government, the scale reached 100 million pounds, since it was a loan of 100 million pounds, then the principal and interest to be repaid by the national government every year will of course not be less, and this time Yan Shao took the money for compulsory education, which was drawn from the principal and interest returned to Yan Shao by the national government this year.

In fact, Yan Shao planned to use all the money for education at the beginning, but unfortunately with the current situation in China, even if he took more money, it was useless, because there were not so many teachers at all, so he could only come step by step, for example, first to get the city right, then the township, and finally the countryside...

In this way, step by step, although it costs a lot of money, it is pitiful compared to the one-time arrival.

As for the so-called six-year compulsory education, in fact, Yan Shao also thought about a nine-year compulsory education, but unfortunately it was still a problem for teachers. The selection of primary school teachers alone is enough to give the guys in the Ministry of Education a headache, if there is another junior high school, it is estimated that they even have the heart to commit suicide, so they can only come step by step, first do a good job of six years of compulsory education, as for nine years of compulsory education...

It is estimated that when the first results of the six-year compulsory education come out, it will be possible to start the nine-year compulsory education.

――――――――――――――――――――

Taking out so much money to run an education, of course, you have to tell everyone about it, because this is also a way to improve Yan Shao's prestige, plus everyone knows that Yan Shao's money is clean, so there is no need to worry about people being jealous.

As for Elaindo, they are also very supportive of Yan Shao's initiative, after all, China is their second motherland for them now, although it is not as close as the first motherland, but in addition, it is already the closest one...

So soon, Yushi Group spent 30 million yuan to do education, and it spread all over the country and even the world... (To be continued......)
