"What Pingzhang said is Mingzhou Qian Tang, Qian Weiming?" Tao An confirmed it from Zhu Yuan, got affirmation, and then said: "The Lord also asked about it the day before yesterday, and also checked Brother Weiming's test paper, and the strategy was 90 points, and the calculation was 76 points. More than 10 of his policies are biased towards strict governance, and the lord intends to let him enter the criminal department and give him the right five grades. ”

Or the Criminal Department.

Zhu Yuan was not surprised.

did not directly climb to the top of Shangshu again, but was the criminal department Langzhong of the fifth grade, which was obviously the influence of Zhu Yuan's big butterfly.

Thinking so, Zhu Yuan said to Tao An: "I'll take the time to talk to my ancestor and let Qian Tanglai serve as the vice president of Jinling University, mainly responsible for matters related to school supervision and discipline, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Yuan's superintendent discipline is related, probably similar to the later 'teaching director'.

"Don't hide it from Pingzhang, Xia Guan heard about that day's question, and then he also had a lot of contact with Brother Wei Ming," Tao An said with a smile, and said: "Brother Wei Ming has a strong personality, if you come to Jinling University to be responsible...... Well, the superintendent is capable of teaching, but then, Pingzhang, if this is the case, when it comes to related affairs in the future, don't say that it is you, I am afraid that it is the Lord, and he will not be accommodating? ”

"That's what I want," Zhu Yuan felt from Tao An's words that he and Qian Tang were already familiar with each other, and also smiled, and said: "I have to admit that I am not a person who can absolutely adhere to principles, and school education is related to the future of the country. ”

Tao An didn't point out the one that Zhu Yuan had just ignored intentionally or unintentionally, and the young man on the other side should feel that he was not the kind of person who could 'absolutely adhere to principles'.

Actual...... It's pretty much the same.

Thinking about it, he nodded: "That is the case, the lower official agrees." ”

Zhu Yuan flipped through the statistics of the results of the imperial examination in his hand, and continued: "Then there is the compilation of teaching materials, first one, just like promoting new numbers, and next, we will further promote simplified characters, which I have been doing in private, and it has almost been completed." The inner truth is also very simple, for the sake of efficiency. Traditional Chinese characters, both memorized and written, are too cumbersome, which is not conducive to the application of words and the dissemination of knowledge. If the Ming Dynasty wants to enter the industrial age, a large number of senior intellectuals are necessary, which requires us to take the initiative to lower the learning threshold and strengthen the learning efficiency. ”

Simplified Chinese, Tao An knows.

Again, in ancient times, there were simplified characters, just like punctuation.

However, hearing Zhu Yuan talk about this, Tao An was a little worried: "Pingzhang, this matter ...... I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

The power of tradition is very powerful.

For thousands of years, the literati of this land have been accustomed to traditional Chinese characters, and if they want to change them, they will inevitably cause all kinds of resistance and disturbances.

"How much is it easy in the world," Zhu Yuan said in a firm tone: "It's not easy to do, but, heh...... It doesn't have to be too compulsory, if you are used to using traditional characters, it is still the same, and it is not difficult to distinguish the two characters from each other. We just want to encourage students to use simplified Chinese as much as possible, and ...... The primary education of the Ming Dynasty in the future will also start from simplified Chinese, well, this is not much to mention. In short, not reluctantly, encouragement is the mainstay, but if someone insists on sticking to the old ways and hindering promotion, I will not tolerate it. ”

Tao An pondered for a moment, but still nodded.

Tao An is the kind of pragmatic talent that Lao Zhu likes, and he is indeed not a person who can absolutely adhere to principles.

However, because of this, I also thought that at the beginning of the year, Lao Zhu ordered a large number of "Qi Min Yaoshu" to be printed a few days after he took the throne, and also asked the Hanlin Academy to compile a book of calculations, and so on, that was the beginning of things.

How did everyone feel at that time...... It's a change!

Right now......

Something, apparently going on all along.

Seeing that Tao An agreed, Zhu Yuan turned to others: "Let's talk about specific courses, which are divided into two parts, cultural courses and professional courses, and related courses can be further divided into two categories, compulsory courses and elective courses. Because of our current use, cultural courses are mainly 'etiquette', etiquette etiquette, and professional courses are mainly 'technology', technical skills. ”

Saying this, Zhu Yuan also leaned forward to find a pen and paper and began to write on the table, while continuing: "Refer to the credit system I gave before, 'Li' and 'Technique', each of which is 50 credits, and it takes four years to complete 100 credits before you can get a degree certificate." Well, if you think you have enough knowledge, you can also apply for the exam in advance and graduate early. ”

Tao An listened carefully and felt inappropriate: "Pingzhang, graduate early, I'm afraid it's ...... Can't get it to the bottom of it? ”

At this point, Tao An still feels that there is no shortcut in learning.

"That's right," Zhu Yuan raised his head, pushed the paper on which he had written some words to the opposite side, and said, "'Li' and 'Technique' are 50 credits each, which is based on the 'two-legged' theory I proposed to my ancestors, etiquette and economy, both are indispensable." However, we are now in urgent need of employing people, not to mention that many students have been studying for many years since childhood, so I think we can compress the study time and even get credits directly after entering the school. The other half of the 'skills', because they are starting from scratch, students have to work harder. ”

Tao An smiled bitterly: "Pingzhang, you ...... It's so calm. ”

"This is an expedient measure, just don't talk nonsense," Zhu Yuan said with a smile: "Especially Qian Tang, if he successfully joins the company, he can't tell it." ”

"Xiaguan Province."

"Then, the specific courses, one of the 'rites', that is, related to cultural courses, you are responsible, mainly the Four Books and Five Classics, plus some traditional classics as electives, well, and mathematics, which must also be counted as cultural compulsory. In addition, sports ...... What are the six arts of a gentleman? ”

Tao An also took a fountain pen on the table, recorded it casually on the page handed by Zhu Yuan, and replied: "The six arts of a gentleman are 'etiquette', 'music', 'shooting', 'royal', 'book', and 'counting'. ”

】

Zhu Yuan was interested and asked: "The 'ceremony' here is different from what we just said, right?" ”

Tao An nodded, and replied smoothly without thinking too much: "This 'ceremony' originated from Zhuan, contained in the "Zhou Li", the rise and fall of the past dynasties are different, and the current passer is the system of the Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan period, where the five rites, the sacrificial thing is called the auspicious ceremony, the funeral thing is called the murder ceremony, the military thing is called the military ceremony, the guest thing is called the guest ceremony, and the crown wedding is called the Jia ceremony. ”

Zhu Yuan listened with relish, and thought that he would find "Zhou Li" and flip through it later, while asking a few other 'arts', and waiting for Tao An to answer them one by one, he said: "These must be added to the curriculum, among which 'mathematics' and 'archery' are compulsory, 50 credits, mathematics must be at least 4 points, and then it will be classified in detail, algebra, geometry, etc., on average, you must take at least 1 credit per year." 'Shooting' into one, this name is good, don't say 'sports', of course, it's not like the ancients, 'shooting' or 'shooting', 'royal', if there is no car for them to drive, it will be changed to riding, in this era, the basic horseback riding skills always have to be mastered, the key, these courses can also exercise, so you should also insist on 4 years, give 4 credits. ”

Tao An couldn't help but look up at someone as he jotted it down.

That's 8 credits.

The other half is all 'skills', and the 'ceremony' side is gone 8 in a blink of an eye, maybe add some others, how many are left for the traditional Four Books and Five Classics?

Noticing Tao An's expression, Zhu Yuan didn't say anything more.

If he could, just like the maritime academy in Mingzhou, Zhu Yuan hoped that the 'ceremony' would only account for 30%, or even less.

However, after thinking about it, Zhu Yuan himself failed to convince himself.

Think about the Hereafter......

It's really important to have balance on both legs.

Zhu Yuan does not want to see an era in which scientific and technological civilization is collapsing.

At the very least, don't come too early.

Waiting for Tao An on the other side to write it down, Zhu Yuan continued: "There are also 'music' and 'book', these two will be taken as electives." Well...... In addition to calligraphy, painting is also indispensable. Special sketching, which has a wide range of applications, has long been thought about and this must be taken. However, for this course, regardless of the major, two credits are sufficient. Related majors, such as mechanical, construction or water conservancy, etc., should be counted more on the side of professional courses, because they all require a large number of drawings, at least 4 credits, 1 per year. ”

Tao An wrote a full page in the blink of an eye, changed the paper, and wrote it down again.

Zhu Yuan continued: "In short, the main reason for the 'ceremony' half of the course is that you are responsible for organizing the manual compilation and confirming the progress of the study and the number of credits. On the other hand, 'technology' on the one hand...... Oh, I have limited energy, so I still have you to bear it, but I'll take the lead. Because it was the early stage of the school, and the professional courses of each major were blank, my assumption was that all the scholars who entered Jinling University, whether they were teachers or students, should participate in the compilation and improvement of relevant teaching materials. ”

Tao An was a little confused: "Pingzhang, this ...... How? ”

"For example, in the major of Chinese Studies, in addition to the 'rites' of the compulsory courses, the professional courses are actually more in-depth study of various classics of Chinese Studies, in this regard, I have accumulated thousands of years in China, and there are enough themes, so I don't have to worry about it, right?"

Tao Anming understood, nodded, and asked again: "Others...... What about water conservancy majors? ”

Zhu Yuan pondered it and said: "These majors are mainly practice-oriented, for example, the imperial court is planning to build the Jianghuai Canal, and we have set up this project as a research topic for water conservancy, and we also stipulate good credits, and all students majoring in water conservancy ...... Well, not all of them, but also some of them. In short, organize a group of students to learn from practice, summarize the truth, and compile it into teaching materials. Eventually, through the accumulation of many projects, it gradually improved into a professional knowledge system of water conservancy. Of course, the classics that we already have in our tradition, such as "Notes on the Water Classic", should be cherished, so we must also organize teachers and students to make more professional and practical corresponding courses by recompiling, simplifying, or annotating. Eventually, students accumulate credits through the practice of the project or the compilation and annotation of the classics, up to the graduation standard. ”

Tao An imagined some scenes, nodded while listening, and when Zhu Yuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but praise: "Pingzhang...... What a talent. ”

That's true.

Zhu Yuan's proposal seems simple, but no one has thought of it for thousands of years.

Tao An also saw one of the most critical points, the related concept, which Zhu Yuan had mentioned when he mentioned the credit system before, called 'quantification'.

Grading courses on a 100-point scale and accumulating credits on courses may seem rigid, but they are a fair and effective judging mechanism.

It is conceivable that not only this university, but also all aspects of the imperial court in the future can be used.

Ultimately......

Tao An was stuck for a while, unable to imagine more futures, but he could be sure that according to what the young man opposite said, the 'efficiency' of this country in all aspects can be greatly improved.

The two discussed some details again, although there were still many topics to discuss, seeing that the time was about the same, Tao An understood that someone was weak, so he stopped at the right time and took the initiative to leave.

Zhu Yuan got up to see off the guests.

Coming to the lobby outside, Zhu Yuan stood at the door, said goodbye, remembered temporarily, and added: "In addition to the revision of simplified Chinese characters and a pinyin technique, I have been compiling various textbooks since Mingzhou. Anyway, things can't be rushed, a hundred-year plan, let's take it step by step. ”
