Chapter 190 Enrollment Plan
Leaving from Yichun Palace, Bai Zhong saw that there was still time, and rode his horse out of the city to Shi'an Township.
For Zhang Cang, Bai Zhong is still cultivating relationships first, and if he has the opportunity in the future, if possible, he will bring people to Shi'an Township and ask him to teach mathematics and other knowledge.
If there is no chance, or Zhang Cang refuses, Bai Zhong can only teach him the mathematical knowledge he still remembers, and then carry it forward.
When I came to Shi'an Township, I saw that the school here had been built.
Ling Zhi and they were very fast, and they also moved all the printed books over, and when the enrollment school started, everything was almost ready.
"Giant, I'm just about to go back to you."
Ling Zhi said: "We are almost done, how should we recruit students next?" ”
This is something they have only briefly discussed before, but they have not formalized a concrete plan.
Bai Zhong thought of a rough plan and said: "First let the three elders publicize it in the township, saying that we can teach the students of the entire township to read and write, of course, we need tuition, but it will not be very expensive, ten yuan a month, what do you think?" ”
Ling Zhi asked, "How many students are enrolled?" ”
"The first batch, fifty."
Bai Zhong counted the number and continued: "After a month, there is only five hundred yuan for tuition, if it is not enough for expenses, take my token and ask Zijin for money, if there are too many people enrolled, it is the first time to do this, I am worried that you will not be able to cope with it." ”
It's the first time they've been teachers, and they're really worried that they don't know how to teach, so it's better to have fewer people.
In terms of money, Bai Zhong's reward for fighting a battle is innumerable, and it is really not enough money, and he can drag Qin Qing into the water in the future.
"That's just the right amount."
Ling Zhi thought about it for a while.
Bai Zhong said: "The first batch of enrollment, there are a lot to consider, especially in terms of students, not all children are suitable for reading and literacy, I thought of the easiest way, we give a few words, let the children copy on the sand table, and select fifty children with the best writing as the first batch of students." ”
When Ling Zhi heard this, he nodded in agreement: "It's still the giant's idea, according to what we discussed at the beginning, fifty places are on a first-come, first-served basis, but the first batch with the best handwriting has been selected by us, and there will be a second batch in the future, and the handwriting is not good, so it is more difficult to recruit students." ”
This is indeed another problem.
The children who wrote the best words were all selected.
The rest of the children are still not well written, and they still sign up for the second batch, whether to recruit or not?
"The second batch, inspect their family situation, parents' conduct, and even children's conduct, these only need to let the three elders check it."
Bai Zhong did not have the Confucian idea of having education without class, and at present he just wanted to cultivate a group of people who were suitable for carrying forward the Mo family as soon as possible, and continued: "As for the quantity, according to the ability of the first batch, you will tentatively recruit a new batch a year, and the new batch will be recruited back, then the old batch will be called the second class, and there will be a total of six grades. ”
He also briefly talked to Ling Zhi about the primary school system in later generations, the method from grades one to six.
"We are also worried, how to deal with the problem of the old and new batches, and the giant has thought of a solution again."
Ling Zhi admired more and more in his heart.
It's just that Bai Zhong's ability can only be carried out to the sixth level, if he continues to go up, he will need Yingzheng to take action and issue some laws, a child of about six years old, if he can successfully go from enrollment to graduation, will probably be twelve years old.
In these six years, it is enough to teach them a lot of things and teach a lot of ideas.
In this special era, literate people can learn their Great Qin Laws, participate in legal quizzes, and then become Qin officials, and they can also do other things, and there are more ways out than farming.
I really don't have much ability, I can raise my children at the age of twelve, and after graduation, I can go back to help the family work, and when I am at the right age, I will not delay serving the conscription.
They will also imperceptibly spread the ideas of the Mohists and teach them to those close to them, or other relatives and friends.
You can also select suitable people from among the students to join the Mo family and develop new members.
This is Bai Zhong and Ling Zhi's preliminary thoughts, deeper thoughts, they haven't thought of it for the time being, let's finish the first step first.
"After a while, I will leave Xianyang and garrison Wuguan."
Bai Zhong had another idea, and continued: "When the time comes, you will give me half of the people and follow me to Nanjun to set up a second academy, what do you think?" ”
"Of course!"
Ling Zhi agreed directly.
The more schools there are, the wider the spread of the Mo family.
Bai Zhong nodded and said, "In the next two months, we will first build the school here, and I will go to Zhuang Yu." ”
Zhuang Yu's actions were also very fast, and under his deliberate publicity, many people near the township rushed over when they got the news and looked at the school curiously.
The pavilion, which is relatively close to the township, soon also heard the news.
When there were more people gathered, some people whispered, discussing whether the school was real, whether it was reliable, and so on.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
Bai Zhong felt the need to give a speech to deepen their memory and better publicize it.
The peasants who were whispering fell silent in an instant.
"Our school, in a few days will be officially enrolled, as long as the child is over six years old, interested in reading and reading, you can bring over to register, but the first batch of registration we only need 50 people, not free teaching, our fee is a month ten yuan ......"
Bai Zhong simply told them everything he had just discussed.
Others, they don't feel important anymore.
The important thing is, of course, money.
Ten yuan a month, the price is not expensive, and many poor people can afford it.
If you learn to read and write, you may change your fate.
They were instantly filled with interest and anticipation.
Bai Zhong finished saying everything that should be said, the atmosphere was almost rendered, and seeing that it was not early, he handed over the next thing to Ling Zhi, he paid enough, and Ling Zhi and the others were responsible for handling it.
"All of us in the Mo family, thank you Juzi!"
Ling Zhi gratefully sent Bai Zhong away.
Bai Zhong just smiled and waved goodbye to them.
If this can be done, it will be of great significance, and it can also change the group of intellectuals in ancient times, and even change the ways and means of knowledge dissemination, and make everything different.
Back home.
Bai Zhong unexpectedly found that Yingshu was also here, chatting happily with Lan'er and Yu'er.
"Beloved!"
Zhou Yu asked expectantly, "When will the princess enter the door?" ”
Bai Zhong didn't know when to enter the door, so he answered: "It's better to wait for the king's arrangement." ”
"Why don't you live in our house first?"
Bai Lan and the two of them seem to have become best friends with Yingshu, just like Dan'er at that time.
Bai Zhong agreed: "If the princess agrees, I can't ask for it." ”
"Agreed!"
These two words, Ying Shu blurted out, blushing with shame.
