Chapter 681: A major reform of the education system

Chen Xianzhang was actually very unhappy to come to the Qianqing Palace, he didn't do a bunch of things, he said a few words in the Qianqing Palace, and half a day was gone.

Zhu Jianji said, "Director Chen, look at your uneasy demeanor, there are a lot of things?"

Chen Xianzhang said, "A little."

Zhu Jianji was a little puzzled, "It is said that the Department of Education should be a relatively idle department."

Chen Xianzhang: "......"

You stand until you talk and your back doesn't hurt.

If it was the predecessor of the Education Department, Guozijian, it was indeed an idle but powerful department, but today's Education Department is no longer the Guozijian of the past.

There are so many things that the Department of Education has to do right now.

And Chen Xianzhang is also the president of Peking University!

There is one thing to say, now Chen Xianzhang really deserves the sentence "peach and plum all over the world", in recent years, the jinshi of the imperial examination have been sent to Peking University for further study, and after that, there are thousands of people from all over the world.

are all Chen Xianzhang's "protégés".

Chen Xianzhang said: "We have to prepare for this autumn's autumn season, and then the two universities in Beijing and Tsinghua University will also have a batch of Jinshi graduates this year, and the universities with professional directions that Your Majesty has set before are also being prepared."

There are also a group of elite scholars in Taixue.

After all, they are the first and second class jinshi in the imperial examination, and the jinshi who have expanded their enrollment into Beijing and Tsinghua University are completely different strengths.

Zhu Jianji hummed, "Since I'm very busy, let's make a long story short, I won't talk much about the preparatory work of various universities, anyway, your Education Department also has a lot of experience now, and it will be built in the same way as Beijing and Tsinghua University, and then you can throw the imperial examination scholars into it."

Chen Xianzhang sighed, "Then what other holy will your majesty has to give?"

Zhu Jianji said: "You have also seen the situation, the demand for talents in Indochina Peninsula, Mobei and other places is too great, and only Peking University, Tsinghua University, Taixue, and Guozijian will not be able to keep up this year, so the imperial examination system still needs to continue to reform and expand the admission rate."

Chen Xianzhang immediately objected, "Your Majesty, it's just that there is a gap this year, and there will be another batch of jinshi graduating from advanced studies soon, which can make up for the gap in the officials of the new territory, and this autumn will recruit thousands of people, and next year it will be able to relieve the pressure on talents, and even after a few years, there will be no place for the jinshi piled up in these universities!"

The current talent gap is due to the sudden explosion of territory.

But a turnip and a pit.

When the territory is fixed, thousands of new jinshi will be added every year, and it will accumulate for a long time at that time, but it is a large number, Chen Xianzhang wants to ask, how do you arrange these jinshi when the time comes, Your Majesty!

Zhu Jianji bowed slightly, "I know Director Chen's concerns, don't worry, now that the imperial examination has been expanded to such a point, it is estimated that the jinshi who participated in the imperial examination will gradually get used to a truth: it is not that after the imperial examination, you will definitely be able to become an official!"

Thousands of people every year, what kind of officials?

How can there be so many vacancies!

In the past two years, the new scholars are lucky, and when the Ming Dynasty's expansion is so smooth, there are gaps in various officialdoms in the Indochina Peninsula and Mobei, otherwise these people can only go to the local departments related to industry to become officials.

But then again, the country's local political system also needs to be reformed.

Now the officials of the Ming Dynasty, the lowest level is actually a county official.

Like later generations, the township organs and units should also be set up, so that there can be more leaders, so as to drive the people to participate in the industrial evolution of the Ming Dynasty.

However, this can be a significant expense.

At present, the state treasury does not have a budget for this project.

It will take a few years to wait for the Ming Dynasty to digest the Indochina Peninsula and Mobei, and then there will be money in the treasury, and it will be possible to popularize the political organs and units of townships and towns throughout the country.

Establish a robust and comprehensive political system.

He said to Chen Xianzhang: "Next year, I will issue an edict to the world, and every political envoy will be established, every state government yamen, and even every county seat

Many departments are subordinate to the state official system, such as some universities that we are preparing now, and universities will be established at the local level in the future, and for example, the general hospital and the state capital hospital established by the Department of Medical and Health in various places will be lowered to the counties and townships in the future, and the personnel of these hospitals will be supported by the Department of Health and Health with money from the state treasury to improve the level of medical and health care for the whole people. I would like to tell you today about something related to the Department of Education, which is a major reform of the imperial examinations and education."

Chen Xianzhang's heart tightened.

I feel that our Emperor Guang'an is going to be a demon again, and I don't know what novel ideas he has this time.

Zhu Jianji said: "I think so now, there are still too few people in my Ming Dynasty, and more people should come to study, so the Education Department should increase the scale of government schools."

The model of elementary school, original intention, and high school may not be able to be promoted.

Because there are not enough scientific theories and teaching materials now.

However, the number of government schools should be increased.

Chen Xianzhang breathed a sigh of relief, just to increase the scale of government schools, this operation is acceptable, provided that His Majesty Emperor Guang'an can make the household department happily allocate money to the Department of Education.

Zhu Jianji said: "I plan to set up an official school that can accommodate at least 3,000 scholars in the capital city where the government envoy is located in the future, and the rest of the ordinary government cities should be able to accommodate 1,500 people, and the official school where the state is located must accommodate at least 500 people to study at the same time, and the official school where the county government is located should be at least 300 people. In the future, these students who study professional courses can be admitted to universities with related majors, and after graduating from universities with these related majors, they will be assigned by the state to work in relevant industries, which belongs to the ...... Well, they belong to the system of officials, but they are not officials, and if they are treated, I will discuss them with the Ministry of Officials and Household Departments to formulate a perfect system."

It is time to start building a system for the establishment of civil servants and public institutions.

In this way, we can better manage the whole country.

At the same time, this system can also be used to better promote the industrial process of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Xianzhang silently calculated, "Your Majesty, according to the method of Peking University and Tsinghua University with 30 people in a class, the expansion of the scale of government schools, just Mr. and various doctors and professors, will need tens of thousands of people, and if these tens of thousands of people are allocated financial funds according to the current treatment, it is a large expense."

The key is that there are all kinds of teaching expenses, and when calculated, the imperial court's expenditure on education must increase at least tenfold.

Zhu Jianji sighed, "I know, but this money should be spent."

100 years of trees, 10 years of people.

The industry of the Ming Dynasty has sprouted, if you want to continue to industrialize, you have to spend a lot of effort on education, cultivate as many talents as possible, and to cultivate talents, in order to let the Ming Dynasty move towards a new era, education must come first.

Education is the foundation of a country's march toward civilization!
