Chapter 1024: School Reform
Yangsan Mansion.
Wu Yong wore an official uniform and went out with a smile and a few errand soldiers.
Wu Yong didn't care about only being a lieutenant, on the contrary, he was a little happy, starting from the grassroots level was exactly what he wanted.
Wu Yong is very clear about the situation in the Qi Kingdom, in fact, there are few people who can be officials, let alone civil officials, although he is now a captain, he is not a serious military position, he is still responsible for public security.
"Captain, where are we going today?"
The servants looked at Wu Yong and asked, Liangshan Mansion is nothing serious, and they don't know what to do when they go out.
"Let's go to the school first to see if there is anything we can help, and then go to the surrounding counties to have a look."
Wu Yong said with a smile that what he is best at is teaching, after all, he used to be a teacher in a rural private school.
But Wu Yong didn't want to develop in the direction of teachers, he saw the lack of civil officials in the Qi State, and it was not a problem to be promoted to a prefect with his ability, and then he would enter the court and participate in politics.
Wu Yong led the talent to the vicinity of the school, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng led a team of guards.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Wu was shocked in his heart, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were here with the guards, which meant that Sun Lei was here, and his arrival had already been noticed by Lu Fang and Guo Sheng.
"General Lu, General Guo!"
Wu Yong smiled and stepped forward to say hello.
"Captain Wu, are you here on business?"
Lu Fang asked with a smile.
"I want to see if the school needs help."
Wu Yong opened his mouth and said, he is also on business.
"Then please come in, Your Majesty is giving a lecture in the school today!"
Guo Sheng waved his hand, and the guards made a hole to let Wu Yong enter the school.
Wu Yong entered the school with a smile, but he quickly calculated in his heart, what does it mean for Sun Lei to come to the school to give a lecture? Why did Sun Lei come to the school to give a lecture at this time?
Walking near the teaching building, Wu Yong heard Sun Lei's voice, the largest classroom was full of students, whether it was a newly enlightened student or an older student, they were all sitting in the classroom, and Li Qingzhao and other teachers were also in the classroom.
Wu Yong listened to Sun Lei's lecture outside the classroom, Sun Lei was not talking about the orthodox three hundred thousand, nor the four books and five classics, but some mechanical knowledge that he had never heard of, such as the kettle is opened, the lid will be lifted by hot air, such as the water wheel driven by flowing water can be driven by gears and various machinery......
"This is a craftsman's thing?"
Wu Yong frowned, this is not something that would be taught in a normal school, nor is it something that an emperor should teach.
In the classroom, Li Qingzhao's face had sunk, as a traditional literati, Sun Lei was deviant to teach children like this.
"It's just a mistake!"
Li Qingzhao scolded secretly in her heart, she wanted to step forward to stop Sun Lei, but Sun Lei was the emperor, she couldn't and didn't dare to do this, and those students listened to it with relish, and they had been brainwashed.
The things Sun Lei talks about are miscellaneous studies that are not serious in the eyes of adults, but in the eyes of children, they are all very interesting knowledge.
Sun Lei spoke for a long time before it ended with the applause of the children.
"It's noon, let's all go eat."
Sun Lei smiled and said to the children, today's canteen has more food, and the chicken legs are enough, and he has already asked about the fragrance of the food.
Naturally, the children smelled the smell of the food and ran to the cafeteria cheering.
"What are you teaching! Are you trying to mislead people's children? ”
Li Qingzhao saw that the children were finished, and immediately stepped forward to question Sun Lei, this school is her hard work, and the children are what she cares about the most now, Sun Lei misled the children like this, she couldn't bear it.
When the rest of the teachers saw that Li Qingzhao actually pointed directly at the emperor's nose and questioned, they were all frightened and retreated, afraid that they would harm the pond fish.
"What do you mean by misleading people's children? I'm teaching very practical knowledge, and it's very useful to study it thoroughly! ”
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Useful, you say? Those children came to study to change their lives, not to become carpenters or blacksmiths! ”
Li Qingzhao said angrily, no matter how much you learn the things that Sun Lei taught, the children will only be craftsmen in the future.
"What's so bad about being a craftsman? Earn money to support your family and promote the development of the country? If everyone only reads the Four Books and the Five Classics, and everyone reads them as nerds, how many of them will have a way out? ”
"Let's tell you again, my Qi Congress will vigorously support industry, commerce, and agriculture, and the imperial examination will also be reformed, not only to test the Four Books and Five Classics, but also to test industry, agriculture, and commerce, and to elevate their status, as long as they study well enough, their status is by no means lower than that of officials."
"If you don't want to mislead people, prepare as soon as possible, and next month the school will be reformed to add various subjects, and after the students are enlightened, they will study all aspects first, and after five years, they will be divided into majors according to their personal achievements and preferences."
Sun Lei looked at Li Qingzhao and said, he didn't have nothing to do and came to the school to give lectures and play, and the reform of education must start from the roots.
In Sun Lei's plan, a child is in school, and the first three years are the enlightenment period, mainly learning literacy and writing; After that, they will transfer to a five-year system; After that, students are divided into subjects according to their individual characteristics.
"You can't ......"
Li Qingzhao's face was pale and bloodless, as a traditional education, she couldn't accept Sun Lei's violent reform, and those teachers were also stunned, unable to believe everything Sun Lei said.
"I'm the principal, I'm in charge!"
Sun Lei said very domineeringly, he did not move out of the identity of the emperor, but as the principal, which is to give Li Qingzhao and others face.
"Besides, learn the arts and martial arts, and sell the goods to the emperor's family. It's not up to you to decide what kind of talent the country wants, what's the use of everyone studying the subset of scripture and history? ”
Sun Lei looked at Li Qingzhao and the rest of the teachers and said, these are all from traditional education, what are the drawbacks they know best, with Zhao Song's low education level, they can all have a surplus of talents, Qi is now educating for all, how can it continue to follow the old road?
Li Qingzhao was speechless, she taught the children to read, and the final result was just to take the imperial examination, but the imperial examination of Qi was decided by Sun Lei, the emperor, what talent Sun Lei wanted, what talent would be selected in the imperial examination, this is not something she can decide, if Sun Lei really recruits technical talents in large quantities, she only teaches children four books and five classics, which is a mistake in the children's life.
"Don't be brainless, think about the children, studying is not only for the imperial examination, but also for the imperial court officials! What should they do if they fail in the imperial examination? Returning to the village as a teacher? Or do you want to start from scratch and find another way out? ”
Sun Lei looked at Li Qingzhao and said, this is the same as taking the public examination, not everyone can be admitted, you have to help students find more roads, it just so happens that you also need a large number of technical talents to promote the industrial revolution, as long as the social status is equal, everything is not a problem.
"Do you really want your children, or do you just want them to be your tools?"
Li Qing looked at Sun Lei, his eyes were a little cold, the Four Books and Five Classics have shortcomings, but they can educate people for the purpose of teaching and educating people, but Sun Lei has a clear purpose.
