Modern people know that 'if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and if you want to develop, you must first study.' Compulsory education for all has proven to be one of the most effective policies for a country to become rich and strong in modern times.

Of course, education is not as strong as possible, but the development of the country must reach a passing line.

For example, the literacy rate is more than 60%, and then as the country develops, the investment in education must also increase accordingly, otherwise it will inevitably hinder economic development. Therefore, the higher the level of education, the stronger the country's universal competitiveness, even if it is a very blunt and even backward education method of education, as long as the education reaches a certain scale, it is always good.

Modern country.

The East is better than Africa, Asians are generally better economically in Europe and the United States, and Jews are generally very powerful, which is closely related to education.

And antiquity.

Why was the Song Dynasty the most powerful country in ancient China, and the most powerful country in economy and science, except for martial arts? Why Marco Polo, at that time, everyone in the West longed for the ancient country of the East, and later generations studied it, and this had a great deal to do with the fact that the Great Song Dynasty attached great importance to scholars and the extremely high status of the scholar class.

But - not enough.

Wang Anshi's failure to change the law proves that there are many scholars in the Great Song Dynasty, but it is far from enough, and it is seriously biased, there are no talents who really need to be used, and there are so many useless talents that there is no place to put them.

But these modern people understand, the Qin Dynasty understands, and Sima Guang doesn't understand.

"Although my Great Song Dynasty lacks talents, but he is not this talent, it is enough ......for people to study?

"Undoubtedly, it is a little difficult to forcibly implement compulsory education for all within the scope of our Great Song Dynasty at this stage. ”

Sima Guang snorted coldly in his heart, is it a little difficult?

"It's difficult. But so that all the young people of the Great Song Dynasty can read, is a goal that must be achieved, in order to achieve this goal, combined with reality, I think that it can be done step by step. ”

"We can start with semi-universal compulsory education. That is, to ensure that half of children and adolescents are literate, and then to increase this proportion as the economy develops......"

"Half?"

Sima Guang's face looked a little better, his brows were still furrowed, and letting half of the children go to school was a complete waste in Sima Guang's opinion, a big waste.

"Why did there be 'redundant officials and redundant officials' in my Great Song Dynasty? Isn't it because Taizu was benevolent and wrote down the ancestral motto of 'ruling the world with scholars', so that the status of scholars was too high, and more and more people were read. There are too many, there are too many people who take the imperial examination, Wang Jiefu failed to change the law, it is a lack of talents, but it is not a lack of scholars, this Qin Xianao is actually ......"

Sima Guang shook his head, feeling that he was becoming more and more unable to understand Qin Xianao's thoughts.

"There is no doubt that the implementation of semi-universal compulsory education in funding. There are many difficulties, such as institutional arrangements, but I believe that these difficulties can be overcome......"

Sima Guang quickly skimmed through these paragraphs of the section on 'semi-universal compulsory education'. Soon-

"3. The education system consists of four parts, namely, the old-fashioned teaching of the imperial examination, the teaching of vernacular language, the transfer to the teaching of the imperial examination after three to five years of vernacular teaching, and the transfer to the teaching of vernacular after three to five years of old-fashioned teaching. ”

Sima Guang's eyes lit up slightly.

"I see, this Qin Xian Ao is fighting this idea. First, they want to use vernacular Chinese to compete with ancient Chinese to see who is good and who is bad? Second, they want to cultivate 'eclectic' talents in this way. ”

"It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip it, that's a way. But ......"

"Vernacular is too straightforward, too simple, how can such a way be comparable to ancient Chinese teaching?" Sima Guang shook his head and sighed, with Sima Guang's eyes, how could he not see that the so-called vernacular language teaching can really play a role in making people literate, but literacy does not mean that they can understand ancient Chinese, and literacy does not mean that they can compose ancient poems and write words.

"The teaching of ancient texts can select the smartest talents, how to choose vernacular texts?" Sima Guang sighed and looked down, and then Qin Xianao only briefly explained these four ways, and did not talk about the key points that Sima Guang cared about, and then this article ended for the time being.

Although he talked about four teaching methods here, the teaching of ancient Chinese is very easy to do, and the vernacular?

Sima Guang squinted, this article did not solve Yang Shizhi's question, how to teach vernacular literature?

"Huh?"

Sima Guang's eyes suddenly froze.

"Outline of Humanities Education" six big black characters jumped into view, this is the second article written by Qin Xianao after the previous article ended.

"Humanities education?"

Sima Guanglian looked.

"Humanistic education refers to the education of the educated with the aim of promoting the improvement of their human nature, the shaping of their ideal personality and the realization of personal and social values. ”

"The official school of the king of Zhou requires students to master six basic talents, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, which are the six arts of Confucianism......"

"Confucius also taught the six arts in private learning, and the so-called six arts are "Yi", "Shu", "Poetry", "Rites", "Music", "Spring and Autumn", ......"

"It's all about humanities education......"

......

This is an essay on the nature of education, in which Qin Xianao vigorously criticizes the existing imperial examination education system, which is mainly based on the 'official position'.

"Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles. ”

"It's good that students have to go out to study in order to grow, but now this study tour has changed in nature......"

"Confucianism says that 'learning and excellence are the best', but the one who really promotes the great progress of society and has great benefits for the people in the world is the ......"

"Everyone is studying to be an official, and the value orientation of our entire society is wrong, the thinking is wrong, and the values are wrong, which is a ...... that kills people."

Sima Guang's face was difficult to look at again.

Confucianism attaches great importance to the etiquette level, the soldiers are put in the first place, and the officials are the most noble, but Qin Xianao completely reversed it in this article, thinking that it was this idea that restrained people's play, hindered the progress of society, and made the intelligence of countless elites not use it on the right path.

"A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring. ”

"The world is like a bucket, and what determines how much water he can hold is not whether the 'board' of the official is long enough, but the shortest board......"

"Therefore, the purpose of our talent training is not to make everyone an official. It's about developing their ability to analyze and solve problems......"

"Nonsense! This Qin Xianao is really ......" Sima Guang put down the newspaper and took a slight breath, the text slammed the ancient literature and the teaching of the imperial examination, and the people who taught it only knew how to do poetry correctly and write beautiful articles, but they were extremely bad at being officials. The ability to analyze substantive problems and solve real problems in the society of the country is like an idiot.

"It is precisely because the officials elected in this way are incompetent, and the prince changes the law, so that no one can use it, and the good law is messed up, which is a great harm to the society......

"Of course, the reason why the Great Song Dynasty was able to prosper so much and not collapse was because they were incompetent in specific matters. But it is indeed the elite selected from the hundreds of millions of people, and they have a great advantage in intelligence, and it is by virtue of their intelligence that they can support the Great Song Dynasty, and second, governing the country is very simple, and the officials do not disturb the people, so the people's talents will naturally be brought into play, that is, there is this prosperous Great Song Dynasty......"

Sima Guang slapped the table violently. His face was pale.

If the officials do not disturb the people, the country will naturally be strong?

Sima Guang's hands trembled slightly. I shouted wildly in my heart, and I wanted to refute it, but at this time, information suddenly appeared in my mind.

"The reason why Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, is prosperous is because of the three chapters of the law, and the reason why the Han Dynasty is prosperous is because of the rule of Huang Lao. The reason for the defeat was that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so happy......"

"The Sui Dynasty was originally the richest and strongest person in the world, and the so-called wealth and strength of Zhenguan's rule were completely different from those of the Sui Dynasty. But how did he lose? It's nothing more than Yang Guanghao's great joy, tossing and turning the world indiscriminately, and tossing the world away......"

"The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, with this Zhenguan rule, is nothing more than after the great war, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the land resources are sufficient, so it is with the people's livelihood, and the officials do not disturb the people's natural prosperity......"

"I, the Great Song Dynasty, why do I oppose Wang Anshi's change of law, it's just that his change has disturbed the people, so I oppose it, abolish all new laws......"

......

One by one, historical data, and one by one, Sima Guang's way of governing the country came to mind.

The official does not disturb the people, and recuperates with the people, which is the foundation of the country's prosperity and strength, but everything has a limit, so if it is allowed to develop, it will also suffer to a certain extent.

"What a Qin Xianao, I actually counted the credit for the prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty as our confusion as officials, and the people who came out of the imperial examination were all confused officials, just because they couldn't be officials and let the people develop, so there was a prosperous Great Song Dynasty?"

Sima Guang's hands trembled, and it was precisely because of some of the facts that it was even more unacceptable.

"It's really a yellow mouth, a blind eye, and you know that you can get rich without disturbing the people, why do you have to toss and make things happen again and again?" Sima Guang sneered and looked down.

"The reason why officials must read is because the accents of the world are inconsistent, so they must communicate in writing, and how great can this be......

"My ancestor Qin Xian traveled to the country of immortals, and the atmosphere of institutions of higher learning in the country of immortals has never been a person who is only an official, and being an official is a failed talent in their eyes, and only if he can't achieve results in academics, he will enter the officialdom ......"

"Politics in the fairy country is very ugly, although politicians have a lot of power, but their credit is often the lowest, and even the people would rather believe in a drama than in politicians......"

"It is true that officials do not disturb the people, but in the long run, it will inevitably develop to the extreme, land is highly concentrated, and the rich will get richer and richer......"

"At this time, at that time, if you want to break out of the old law that you must divide for a long time, if you want to make the people of the world ......"

"We have to change at the right time and ask for better talent to develop our ......"

......

This "Outline of Humanities Education", on the one hand, calls for the need for all kinds of talents in reality, which is a supplement to the article "I advise Tiangong to be vigorous", and on the other hand, it focuses on how to cultivate talents, especially how to teach vernacular texts, and this is what Sima Guang wants to see the most, but here is only the principle, and the general direction, but the specific implementation method is not too much introduced.

After a long time, Sima Guang put down the newspaper, his face was ugly, and his eyes flashed from time to time.

"Although Zhuzi is very rude to criticize the imperial examination and the rigidity of ancient language teaching, but if his humanities education is placed in the teaching of vernacular literature......" After reading the general principles of humanities education in the text, Sima Guang has flashed many teaching plans in his mind, although these plans may not be able to cultivate masters of writing poetry and ancient texts, but they ......

"Is there really a single talent in the imperial examination?"

Sima Guang's eyes fell on the bookshelf, where was a book of "Travels to the Immortal Country", how keen Sima Guang was, although Qin Xianao didn't say it explicitly in this article, but he still saw it.

"What Qin Xianao wants to cultivate is to be like the Immortal Country, so what kind of science and technology, business, planting, and solving practical problems are all kinds of talents. ”

"But I, Da Song, really lack that kind of talent?" Sima Guang shook his head. (To be continued.) )
