Chapter 256: Free and compulsory education

Fan Chunli, as the prefect of Kaifeng, has great power in his hands.

After getting Fan Zheng's method of compulsory education, Fan Chunli suddenly felt like a treasure and immediately started to act.

Day 2!

Kaifeng Mansion immediately published it in the Di Newspaper, preparing to promote the announcement of compulsory education in Kaifeng City, which suddenly stirred up a thousand waves!

"The government opens an office school!"

"Boys between the ages of six and nine must attend school, girls volunteer, and those who fail to attend school at the age of eight are fined."

For a moment, the whole city was in an uproar.

The scholars in Kaifeng City are even more cheering, the scholars don't have much ability to make a living, and there are not many people who can make money, and the best way out is to be a private school for the rich and noble.

However, there are only a few who can afford to hire a private school teacher, and many scholars can only rely on family support, and even have to put down their bodies to do some hard work to make ends meet.

Now that compulsory education in the city has come out, the number of masters and children needed has skyrocketed, which has given many scholars an additional means to earn a living.

"Master Fan is dedicated to the people and persuades people to go to school, which is really a supreme achievement!"

In Kaifeng City, there are enlightened people who praise the compulsory education in the city, the literary style of the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, everyone is proud of studying, of course, there are many students who cannot afford to go to school.

Fan Chunli claimed that he would open an office school, so that all school-age boys would go to school, and in time, there would be no white dings in Kaifeng Mansion, what a grand occasion it would be.

"Lord Fan is a blockbuster in Bozhou, I originally thought that it was already the limit of his official status, and as soon as the compulsory education in the city came out, Lord Fan's political achievements will definitely surpass Bozhou."

"Nope! Not only that, as soon as Lord Fan's policy came out, among the Kaifeng prefects of the past dynasties, I am afraid that only Lord Bao Zhengbao and Master Su Songsu, who implemented the prescription of the medical city, could be as famous as him. ”

………………

There is no shortage of discerning people in Kaifeng Mansion, if Fan Chunli succeeds in implementing compulsory education in Kaifeng Mansion, he will definitely be able to leave a name in history.

"How difficult is it to get all the boys in the city to go to school?" Some people shook their heads and sighed, this matter seems to be a good thing, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and the public school still needs to pay a bond, which will definitely cause many people to be dissatisfied.

"Do you care about going to school? The government is too wide! ”

Sure enough, as soon as this announcement came out, many people at the bottom were greatly dissatisfied.

Kaifeng City is not easy to live in, many low-level people are busy all day long for life, many children also work together, where are they willing to pay more money for their children to go to school.

"In my opinion, Master Fan is just for his own political achievements, where does he care whether we low-level people live or die." A man in rough clothes looked at his three or four sons, the eldest of whom was only eight years old, and if all of them went to school, I am afraid it would be a lot of expenses.

The neighbor on the side persuaded him: "It's also a good thing to go to school, and the public school run by the government is not expensive. ”

The rough-clothed man said arrogantly: "Feihuang Tengda is not expected, my ancestral grave does not have such artemisia, Fan Zheng and they will have to work as coolies in the future, why waste money." ”

Most people don't have much resistance to going to school, after all, their children are able to get school, and they are the ones who benefit.

However, these people are the silent majority, and there are some people, like the rough men, who do not want to spend money, or want to be like the families of extreme poverty, who want free schooling, and have begun to oppose compulsory education.

Seeing this scene, the new party couldn't help but smile, they were very familiar with this scene.

When the New Party implemented the new law, it also used coercive measures, which attracted a lot of opposition and ultimately failed because of the vigorous slander of such a small group of people.

When Fan Chunli announced compulsory education in the whole city and forced all school-age boys to go to school, everyone in the New Party had already expected this situation, and sure enough, this group of people once again stood up.

"Come on, send someone to impeach Fan Chunli, the prefect of Kaifeng, saying that he arbitrarily apportioned and aroused public resentment." Zhang Dian sneered.

At that time, the New Party did not suffer any losses in this regard, and the Fan Chunren brothers were also impeached by him because of this, and now he governs others in his own way, and it depends on how the Fan family responds.

"Yes!" Wang Di responded.

Fan Chunli is Fan Zheng's father, he saw Fan Zheng's shadow from this city-wide compulsory education, presumably it must be from Fan Zheng's evil recipe, this time, he wants to see how Fan Zheng explains.

……………………

"Compulsory education seems to be selfless, but it has a big drawback?"

In the old party, a group of people in the old party were also paying attention to Fan Chunli's actions, and Lu Dafang suddenly sneered.

Regarding the concept of compulsory education in the city, Lu Dafang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it at first.

In this way, the idea of educating the people and preaching the study of the saints is destined to go down in history, and it should have been played in the court, and he should have carried it out by him, the prime minister of the dynasty.

However, Fan Chunli relied on the fact that he was the prefect of Kaifeng, and directly mobilized the manpower, material and financial resources of Kaifeng City, and took the lead in implementing compulsory education in Kaifeng City, grabbing the first place.

In Lu Dafang's view, this is simply snatching away his own glory, so he naturally picks on thorns in every way.

"Lu Xianggong means ............." Yang Wei on the side said in surprise.

Lu Dafang sneered: "The defense of men and women! ”

"Men and women's defense?" Yang Wei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Lu Dafang sneered: "Since Fan Chunli preaches compulsory education for boys between the ages of six and nine, but at the same time recruits girls who voluntarily enroll, wouldn't it be that men and women go to school at the same time!" ”

Yang Wei was suddenly shocked and said: "According to folk customs, children are not allowed to sleep at the same table after the age of seven, nor can they eat at the same table. Wouldn't it be against the defense of men and women to study at the same table in public schools, if they were to study at the same table? ”

Lu Dafang bowed slightly, he naturally knew what a merit it was to implement compulsory education, but since this merit did not belong to him, then don't blame him for destroying it.

Yang Wei suddenly knew what he meant, and nodded immediately: "The student understands, the student will let people write a book to impeach Fan Chunli." ”

Soon, there were suddenly a lot of twists and turns in the court to impeach Fan Chunli!

"Fan Chunli sells his reputation and reputation, and he works hard and hurts money only for his own selfishness."

"The compulsory enrollment of compulsory education in the whole city is restricted, and the people in Kaifeng City are full of complaints, and the people's hearts are unstable."

"Is it against the defense of men and women that girls can go to school?"

All of a sudden, the new party and the old party played the same game, impeaching Fan Chunli, the prefect of Kaifeng, and opposing compulsory education in the city.

……………………

"Wechen Fan Chunli has seen the official family!"

Inside the arch hall! Kaifeng prefect Fan Chunli solemnly saluted.

Suddenly, the eyes of all the officials of the court looked at Fan Chunli in a complicated way, in their opinion, Fan Chunli was just not an amazing talent, and the reason why he rose step by step was just to rely on Fan Zhongyan's name and the second brother of the prime minister, Fan Chunren.

But they didn't expect that Fan Chunren would have such a good life, gnaw his father and brother, and even gnaw his son.

Fan Zheng became a forensic doctor, and suddenly led to the prosperity of medicine in Bozhou, and Fan Chunren, who was the prefect of Bozhou at the time, can be said to be lying to win! was rated as the top by the Ministry of Officials, even so, the position of the Kaifeng prefect is already the upper limit of Fan Chunren.

However, no one thought that Fan Chunli would launch compulsory education in Kaifeng City, once Fan Chunren completed his achievements in educating the people in Kaifeng City, he would go further in the future and enter the center of the court.

The new party and the old party naturally did not want to see Fan Chunren go further and let the medical party grow again, so they naturally tried their best to attack Fan Chunren.

"Fan Aiqing is exempt, what justification do you have for the impeachment of you this time?" Zhao Xu said solemnly.

Fan Chunli arched his hand and said solemnly: "Qi Qi official, the minister has nothing to say." ”

"Ahh

The hundred officials couldn't help but be stunned, they didn't expect Fan Chunli to admit it cleanly without the slightest excuse.

Fan Chunli spread his hands and said: "There are indeed people who are unwilling to let their children go to school, and Weichen is ready to persuade them first, and when their parents still do not agree to go to school when they are eight years old, they will be fined, as for the prevention of men and women?" Public schools do accept girls! There is nothing to say about this. ”

As soon as Fan Chunli's voice fell, Fan Chun took the initiative to come out and said: "Qiqi official, Fan Governor's Mansion implements compulsory education in the whole city, which is really a public heart. Fan Zhifu's move was just to emulate the first emperor and Xun Sheng. ”

Yang Wei snorted coldly: "So Yang impeached Fan Governor for selling his reputation and reputation, and the persuasion of His Majesty Xunsheng and Zhenzong is to persuade people to take the initiative to learn, and Fan Governor actually forced all school-age boys to go to school for the sake of his own false name, I don't think it is a public intention, but a selfish intention!" ”

Su Song retorted on the side: "Lord Yang doesn't know, six to nine years old is the best age for children to go to school, and we are also readers, most of them start enlightenment at the age of six, and they are also the beneficiaries of reading, how can we say that persuading people to read is selfish." ”

Many neutral ministers have bowed their heads, they have all studied hard for ten years, and finally entered high school and became officials, so they naturally know the benefits of going to school, and no matter when and where they persuade people to go to school, it is irreproachable.

Wang Di sneered: "Entering school is a voluntary thing, how can you not go to school and be fined." ”

The New Party echoed it, and they naturally knew that it was irreproachable to persuade people to go to school, but it was unreasonable to be fined for not studying.

Fan Chunli wanted to step forward, but Fan Zheng took the lead in retorting: "If it is an adult who does not go to school, the government naturally does not care, but the six-year-old child is ignorant and ignorant, and he cannot go to school without the support of his parents. ”

Baiguan was speechless for a moment.

Fan Zheng continued: "Six-year-old children can be educated, let them read and write, and understand the learning of the saints, so that they can have the opportunity to further study, if the parents refuse to let the children study, it is equivalent to directly cutting off the future of the children, which is extremely unfair to them, and this is the real reason for their fines." ”

"Breaking people's futures should indeed be punished!" Zhao Xu nodded slowly.

Wang Di couldn't help but stagnate, Fan Zheng's reason made him have nothing to say, cutting off people's future, like killing their parents, even if it is a parent.

"Even if it's a matter of fines, why do public schools admit girls, and the Fan family doesn't know that the defense of men and women is a taboo." Lu Dafang snorted coldly.

"It's a miracle in the world for women to go to school!"

The old party was angrily denounced that most of the old party were stubborn defenders, and naturally they were not used to seeing women go to school, even if today's public schools were compulsory education for boys, and girls voluntarily enrolled in school, which still attracted a lot of opposition.

Fan Zhenglang said: "There are few wives and virtuous husbands, and there is also a saying among the people that there are three generations of wives and virtuous and rich, which man does not want to marry a wife who is knowledgeable, but does not let women go to school, how can he be knowledgeable?" For example, Li Qingzhao in the cheap, if it weren't for his father-in-law who let him read poetry and books since he was a child, how could he have the reputation of being the first talented woman in the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Hearing that Fan Zheng had copied Li Qing, the first talented woman of the Great Song Dynasty, the old party wanted to refute it, but it was pale and powerless.

"The defense of men and women is a taboo of etiquette, and it must be guarded against?"

Fan Zheng retorted: "The defense of men and women also needs to distinguish the time, the time of entering the public school is only six to nine years old, according to the research of doctors, nine-year-old children have not developed, and there is no need to defend men and women between the same age, Fan suggested that the age of male and female defense should be raised from seven years old to nine years old." ”

The old party couldn't help but stagnate, if it was someone else who claimed that a nine-year-old child did not need to be guarded against by men and women, he would definitely be sprayed to the ground.

However, Fan Zhengnai is the leader of the medical family, so he naturally has a certain right to speak, and the age of marriage for men and women in the Great Song Dynasty has been postponed by three years, and it is not impossible to postpone the age of defense between men and women by two years.

"Your Ministers agree!" Su Song immediately supported,

The medical party also nodded one after another, but anyone with some medical knowledge also knew that nine-year-old men and women were not developed, and the defense of men and women was nonsense.

Lu Dafang snorted coldly and said: "Nine-year-old children may not need the defense of men and women, but if men and women come into contact too early, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the future." ”

Fan Zheng retorted: "Men and women are educated at the same time, so that they can get in touch with the way of the sage and know the truth, but it will make men and women grow up and understand the defense of men and women better. ”

"You!" Lu Dafang was suddenly angry, he didn't expect Fan Zheng to attack him with the study of a saint.

Fan Zheng changed his words and said: "But if you want to solve the defense of men and women, it is not impossible to solve the problem, the government can open a special women's public school to accept girls to study?" And hired a female master to teach. ”

"This law is great!" Baiguan nodded slightly, so that they had no reason to object.

However, Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Although this law circumvents the defense of men and women, because of the defense of men and women, there is no woman willing to serve as a master. ”

"So what?"

Lu Dafang disagreed, as long as the defense of men and women is avoided, it is also appropriate to spend more.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Because, compulsory education in the whole city is only the first step, if the implementation is successful, the second step will be to promote the model of compulsory education in all cities in the world, and even in rural areas, to implement compulsory education for all." ”

"Compulsory education for all?"

This time, the entire Vertical Arch Hall couldn't help but be moved, they didn't expect that Fan Zheng's plan would be so grand, first promote the cities of the world, and then promote the whole world, what a feat it would be.

In an instant, all eyes looked at Fan Chunli with envy, as the pioneer of compulsory education, Fan Chunli was destined to leave a name in history.

"Kaifeng City is the richest, maybe it can barely bear the shackles, not to mention the cities in the world, the rural people are extremely poor, how can they afford the shackles of the public school, Lord Fan thinks it is good, but it is just a fool's dream!" Lu Dafang said sourly.

Zhang Dian also nodded, for the common people, charging a little more money will cause a fierce backlash, because they really don't have extra money.

"Therefore, there is a third step in compulsory education, the implementation of free compulsory education for all, until the Great Song Dynasty is strong, the treasury is sufficient, the imperial court bears the expenses of public schools, and the children are no longer required to pay the shackles, so that the people of the Great Song Dynasty are educated by the sages, and the cultural governance of the Great Song Dynasty will reach the peak of the past dynasties.

"Whew!"

The Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, looking at Fan Zheng in horror one by one, the future that Fan Zheng depicted, even if it was just imagination, was enough to make them tremble.

"Of course, this idea may be difficult to realize, ten years, fifty years, one hundred years, but Fan believes that one day this idea will become a reality." Fan Zheng said loudly.

For a while, there was silence.
