Chapter 876: Gold Medal List, Great Rectification, Treading Snow
December 28, 15th year of Wude.
Daming martial artist Huang Feihong defeated the Polish Hercules from the independent country with an overwhelming advantage, won the championship of the indiscriminate fighting competition, and added the last gold medal to the Daming medal table.
Later, in the all-armor fighting competition, the Xichu improved infantry team and the dark horse Zulu warrior team led by Princess Zulu herself, drawing a successful end to this Olympic Games.
In the end, the Ming Empire won the first place in the medal list for three consecutive years with 34 golds, 22 silvers and 23 bronzes.
The host Nantang Principality won 15 golds, 8 silvers and 9 bronzes, greatly improving its best result in history and ranking second in the gold medal list.
Wilhelm II, who was even more happy than his grandfather, did not let the Empire miss the event.
Although the preparation was in a hurry, they still achieved 11 gold, 12 silver and 9 bronze medals, ranking third in the gold medal table and fourth in the medal table.
Third in the medal table is Xi Chu.
Although they won only nine gold medals, they won a whopping 24 silver medals and seven bronze medals.
If it weren't for His Majesty Zhu Fugui's outrageous rule that one football gold medal is worth three pieces, the third place in this year's gold medal list would actually be from Xichu.
This has to be said to be a pity.
Iraqi soldiers did not watch the Olympics in their entirety.
He and the Ming delegation were entrusted with the imperial order to take advantage of the Olympic Games to conduct a comprehensive inspection of science, education, culture, and health undertakings in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Although the Southern Tang Dynasty was the inner Tibet of the Ming Dynasty, and the two countries were by no means equal relations between countries, after all, the ruling classes of the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty were different, the fundamental systems were different, and the development concepts were also different.
In the Southern Tang Dynasty, the big farmers controlled power in the countryside and the comprador class controlled power in the cities, a continuation of the rotten parts of that old empire.
Similarly, private schools rather than publicly-owned schools were the main body of education in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The majority of the Chinese who went to the Southern Tang Dynasty were the gentry, but there were also some servants and children born to families.
The true owners of this land, the San people, have all but become extinct.
After arriving in South Africa, the Southern Tang Chinese had to face the ferocious colonists, and the black invaders who multiplied rapidly like zombies and could break out at any time.
At the same time, the land of South Africa is almost unlimited.
Therefore, those who were not regarded as people in Shenzhou had children, slaves, subordinates, and those who were not taken seriously, and the concubines and children who were not taken seriously, all turned into treasures.
As long as you can have children, the head of the family will be rewarded.
Such a bonus period can last for at least twenty or thirty years.
After that, of course, it will return to the normal state of involution.
Of course, no matter how much you roll, it is much better than being the king of scrolls in the homeland of China.
At present, the South African branch of Daming Royal Mining Group and the gold force of Jinyi Weinan Town Government Division firmly control several important gold and diamond mines in South Africa.
But for South Africa's pastures and fertile land, as well as some scattered small mines, Daming did not care much.
Therefore, the current situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty is actually somewhat like the era of the Republic of China, where all kinds of heroes and strongmen formed a dock fort to protect themselves and divided up various resources.
Grandpa Li's small court was originally the product of a compromise between a comprador shell and a squire and a big landlord.
If the royal power does not go to the countryside, it will naturally not be able to run any compulsory education for all.
However, Grandpa Li still symbolically established public schools in several large cities.
It's just that according to Yi Guobing's description, in Zhu Fugui's opinion, it is better to let Lao Mei's happy education be more.
There were still imperial examinations in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but what was more important for the students was the higher imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty.
The four major internal divisions of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the citizens of the so-called Wuhua Alliance, can directly participate in the higher imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty and apply for the universities of the Ming Dynasty.
This is also one of the symbols that Daming regards them as a family.
It's just that the percentage of admissions varies greatly from country to country.
Education is about fairness, not equality.
If all candidates are admitted with the same score, this is called equality.
It is fair to let children in poor mountainous areas who lack educational resources get lower scores, not because of the children's ethnic color, let alone because of the hukou in Beijing, Shangjin, and Tianjin to go to school with lower scores.
At present, there is a big gap in the internal development of Daming, and the distribution of educational resources is even more uneven.
A child who stayed in his hometown in Hunan to study in a rural primary school is a child who bites his pen and is difficult to compare with a child who studied in the Maori primary school in Fengdu in the exam.
And the difference between them is only that when his father joined the Hunan Army, he was sold to Daming as a pig by the commander.
Therefore, the higher imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty are divided into east and west lists.
That is, the Yinzhou list and the Shenzhou list.
Candidates who study in secondary schools in Shenzhou will have a lower admission score.
Candidates who study in Yinzhou Secondary School will have a slightly higher admission score.
At present, the Ming society is not so involuted, in the eyes of many people, going to college is not the only way out, or even the best way out, and a good son should join the army.
Therefore, for the time being, there is no incentive for the settlers in Yinzhou to take the risk of sending their children back to China to engage in the so-called "imperial examination immigration".
As for the future......
is still the same sentence, the Pacific Rim Ming Empire, with a population of 2 billion ~ 2.5 billion, will not be able to roll up no matter how much it rolls up.
And by that time, the gap between Shenzhou and Yinzhou would definitely have been eliminated, or even upside down.
Naturally, there is no such thing as "imperial examination immigration".
And the four great inner Tibetans are not real Ming citizens after all.
They don't have that much policy leaning.
Among them, the students of Xichu are the best-paid.
The acceptance rate of their admission to various universities in Daming is the same as that of Daming candidates.
Some specific majors even have a higher acceptance rate than local students in Daming.
This is the preferential treatment given by the Ming Dynasty to the meritorious children of the border guards.
In Nantang and Lahua, the acceptance rate is only about 30% of that of Western Chu.
And the Tatar Song Dynasty is only one percent.
It is conceivable that the industrialization of education will occur rapidly in the Southern Tang Dynasty and Lahua, which lacks a strong government, and the teaching capacity of private schools will be much higher than that of public schools.
But one thing to say, this kind of elite education in private schools also has its merits.
Although the range of materials is small, the probability of cultivating a super genius is not low.
In particular, the kind of geeks who are seriously biased from the subject are easily eliminated by the more rigid examination mode in secondary education, but when they enter university, they will be shocked because of their super ability in a certain area.
However, the use of public resources to specifically screen and cultivate such monsters will greatly increase the cost of social education, but private schools do not have such troubles.
This can be said to be the biggest flaw of the Ming compulsory education system.
But it doesn't matter, for Daming, your talent is very good, but the next second is mine.
The kind of geek who specializes in one subject can be absorbed into the Ming Dynasty through special examinations.
Ordinary geniuses will be absorbed into the Ming Dynasty by the higher imperial examinations.
Even if you become a fish that slips through the net in the higher imperial examination, you will still have the opportunity to come to Daming for further study in the graduate stage.
Small countries cultivate geniuses, talents, and geeks for the Ming Dynasty, which is actually a win-win situation, after all, these can only be made in the fertile soil of the Ming Dynasty to bloom the most beautiful flowers and realize the value of their lives.
Yi Guobing, as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is to comprehensively inspect the quality of private schools in the Southern Tang Dynasty and organize teachers to participate in political training.
The Ming Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty have different systems, and the country's mode of operation is also different, but the idea of being loyal to the emperor and loving the emperor and supporting the Ming Dynasty must be the same, and there must be no sloppiness.
Yi Guobing knew very well that there were a large number of people among the traditional knowledge elements of the Southern Tang Dynasty who had a grudge against His Majesty Zhu Fugui.
Not to mention anything else, it is impossible for the Qufu Kong family, who was personally kicked out of the Yan Shenggong Temple by His Majesty Zhu Fugui, not to harbor resentment.
The Confucian family is divided into South Kong and North Kong.
In the previous big choice, the Qufu Confucian family, who was respected as the Holy Father of Yan by all dynasties, followed Li Hongzhang to South Africa.
In response to the call of the Ming court, Quzhou Nankong accepted the redemption of land and actively participated in the wave of Chinese rejuvenation.
Even several of Confucius's disciples joined the army and participated in the 12th year of the German war against British Malaya, British Burma, and British India.
And the Northern Confucius brother is now mixed up in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
His Majesty doesn't like rottenness, this is a well-known thing in the world.
Although Grandpa Li can take them in, he doesn't dare to give them official positions, let alone recognize the so-called Yan Shenggong.
Just kidding, he, Li, is the duke himself, do you still want to be a duke?
Unable to enter the officialdom, and playing to circle the fields and not others, many people in the Kong family returned to their old business and began to be old masters.
Of course, not all old masters are ignorant of current affairs and go against the general trend of the world.
However, because of the nobility of the literati, or because of the inherent hostility of new things as the relics of the previous era, many of them did not like the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Fugui's new policy.
However, these people control Mengxue and play an important role in shaping the children's three views.
After years of weeding out the chaff, there are far fewer of these two-faced people and black sheep.
At least they no longer dare to openly slander the new dynasty Yazheng and His Majesty Fugui to the children.
After investigation, the Iraqi soldiers dealt with more than 30 old masters with problematic positions in public, and sentenced them to different punishments ranging from suspension and rectification to exile to Kamchatka.
He also burned 35 kinds of printed products suspected of slandering and spreading rumors about His Majesty Zhu Fugui and the Ming Empire, and 19 kinds of publications that beautified and whitewashed the rule of the puppet Qing Dynasty, and the relevant responsible persons were sentenced to exile to Kamchatka and shot to death in public trial.
At the summary meeting, Yiguo Bing Shilang pointed out that in the Southern Tang Principality, the residual poison of anti-emperor and anti-Ming has not yet been completely eliminated, and the rectification of the education team must be normalized and recriminalized.
Li Guogong listened to the angel's admonition, his eyes were like ashes, and he wept bitterly.
He knelt down at the angel's feet and pleaded guilty: "It is the criminal minister's lax rule to make a big mistake, the criminal minister hopes to be able to play the Son of Heaven, and the guilty minister is allowed to go to Fengdu to ask for the guilt......"
Yi Guobing nodded, and then said lightly: "This official heard that Grandpa Li had been guilty of thorn pleading in Jinling back then, I think you are the same as back then, let Grandpa Li gently smoke a thorn stick, and Your Majesty will naturally forgive you." ”
Lee: 〣(ºΔº)〣
Fortunately, Yi Guobing just made a joke with him.
How many brocade guards are lurking in the Southern Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that Li Shaoquan is the color of his underwear, His Majesty Zhu Fugui knows it very clearly.
His control over his head couldn't be clearer on Da Ming's side.
He's a real dish, not intentional.
After this beating, Grandpa Li and his small court must have struck desperately.
Even if the Forefather himself dared to come forward, he would be chopped up by Grandpa Li and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
Although he believed that the Southern Tang Dynasty would definitely make a big move, Yi Guobing still said that the Southern Tang Dynasty scholars must always be on the road to learn the patriotic ideas of loyalty to the monarch.
Every six months in the future, the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty and the Jinyi Guard will send a joint supervision team to supervise all the private schools in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
And Grandpa Li, you are the first person responsible!
……
Just when the great reorganization of the educational circles in the Southern Tang Dynasty was coming to an end, the telegram of the Olympic Games crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and arrived at the Fengdu Imperial Palace.
But at this moment, Comrade Zhu Fugui, the great son of the great tomorrow, the first emperor of the ages, and the lifelong honorary chairman of the Olympic Committee, is wrapped in an authentic Canadian goose down jacket made by a white slave girl, sitting in the lake-view garden of the imperial city to roast the fire, and enjoying the snow scene with the four concubines and quasi-concubines.
Lao Eunuch Li heated a pot of rice wine, marinated a stack of pig's tongues, and while watching the snow, he ate wine and chewed his tongue, enjoying a comfortable old life.
Zhu Fugui, Yin Susu, and Bai Xia'er were playing with the landlord while roasting the fire.
Although Zhu Fugui himself is actually the largest landlord in the world, it does not prevent his harem from playing landlords.
This deck of cards is the kind of war criminal poker made of bagasse.
Zhu Fugui threw out a brain-dead Lincoln, and was held down by Bai Xia'er's femme fatale Victoria, and a note was helplessly pasted on his nose.
Xiaolan looked at everyone with a smile on the side, humming a small song from her hometown, and flipping the skewer in her hand.
The barbecue on the charcoal stove already has a fragrant aroma that adds a touch of flavor to the modest winter days.
Another would-be princess looked out at the lake a little farther away.
Dressed in a thick down jacket, a velvet hat, and a scarf made of the golden fur of North American beavers, Julie concentrated on replicating the snow.
The Vanderbilt family has always wanted to marry the children of European nobles in order to improve the family heritage, so Julie learned piano and violin since she was a child, and she has also been exposed to painting, and she is very talented in painting.
Zhu Fugui doesn't know much about the art of painting, and his appreciation level is similar to that of most netizens in later generations.
Anyway, if he is asked to be the examiner of the Vienna Academy of Arts, World War II is very likely to be avoided, and even if it can't be avoided, the boss of Desan is definitely not that spiritual guy.
Similarly, Zhu Fugui also admires Julie's paintings very much.
In particular, several of her famous works "Mr. Yellow Crane Spurs the Little Elk" and "Happy Sisters" are all secret treasures carefully collected by Zhu Fugui.
Don't blow or black, in terms of spring palace painting, the painting skills of foreigners do have merit.
However, Julie did not paint Western paintings today, but practiced ink painting, and a picture of "The Lonely Boat" is appearing on the white paper little by little, full of artistic conception and very beautiful.
It's Yi Bowen, who volunteered to go fishing, is freezing like a third grandson at the moment.
After all, "a lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow", Liu Zongyuan's fishing man can't always wear a Canada goose, right?
In order to ensure the artistic effect, Yi Bowen, who was only wearing a thin cotton coat and a cloak on the outside, sneezed, but he was still full of interest.
After all, this was the opportunity he had won with great difficulty when he defeated Nguyen Phuc.
What a great honor it is to accompany the saint to step on the snow!
