The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 51
People change their minds!

Mr. Zhu can clearly see that people's hearts have changed in recent years.

in town!outside the city!Two worlds!

"Are we going to learn Western now?"

"What a joke!"

Zhou Yuan didn't dare to scold the prefect Yin, but he dared to complain about this newly issued official document.

Western, where is it so easy to learn.

"Hey! I have already asked a few friends. If you want to go to the school to study, they are willing to accept it, and they don't count the tuition fee for one year. You also have a foundation in the Four Books and Five Classics. It is also good to learn some practical knowledge."

Mr. Zhu sighed softly. At this moment, he couldn't bear to criticize Zhou Yuan for his ignorance of etiquette. Anyone who has learned knowledge for a lifetime will go crazy if he is told that he has to take another exam.

"Yes, sir!"

Several people wanted to ask another question, but they were stopped by Bai Gui in good time, and they left slowly.

At this time, Mr. Zhu needs to rest.

It was spring and the sun was shining brightly.

Several people walked out of the living room.

"The students in these schools are too much."

Bai Xiaowen muttered dissatisfied.

Unlike Confucian students who were born in the imperial examinations, the students of these schools opened in Jingzhao Prefecture do not need to pass the county examination. They only need to perform well in the school and obtain a certain rank, and they can directly enter the college examination and government examination.

But this is also the old system of the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi reformed the law and created the Sanshe Law, which once abolished the imperial examination.To promote talents for the country is to conduct examinations in Taixue, and divide Taixue students into three classes: upper house, inner house, and outer house.Students from the upper dormitory with excellent grades are directly awarded officials, students from the inner dormitory directly participate in the palace examination, and students from the lower dormitory can be awarded officials after taking the provincial and municipal examinations or passing the examination by the Ministry of Officials.

Old wine in new bottle!
In 1901, the imperial court promulgated the "School Election Encouragement Regulations", which stipulated that officials could be selected from among the outstanding graduates in the school.There is also the "Regulations of Imperial Schools" issued in 1902, which stipulates that graduates from primary schools, middle schools, normal schools, colleges of higher learning, and colleges should be given titles such as Fusheng, Gongsheng, Juren, and Jinshi.However, although this provision was promulgated, it has not been implemented.

The same is true for the students of these schools now, there is no need for the county examination, and they can directly participate in the college examination and the government examination if they rank well.

In the country, there is nothing wrong with this.

Because the talents selected by the stereotyped scholars are really unbearable and cannot adapt to the development of the new era, let alone such a time when the nation is in peril.

But for these Confucian scholars in the countryside, it was a devastating blow.

"Mr. has said that he can recommend us to the school, and he can exempt the tuition fee for one year..."

Bai Gui's tone faltered slightly. In this county examination, except for him, the other four could pass the county examination, but when it came to the government examination and the college examination, even without the translation subject, it was obviously difficult to pass the two examinations.

Besides, the Qing court is in dire straits now. He has a reputation, it is easy to pass the imperial examination, and he has the status of the head of the county examination. He is basically stable, so he chose the easiest way.

But for Lu Zhaopeng and the others, the best way out is to learn practical knowledge in the school.Of course, he also had to take this opportunity to go to the school to learn practical knowledge, so that it would be useful.

The Four Books and Five Classics are only the foundation of middle school.At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, if you don’t learn Western learning, you will eventually fall behind.The education system in the previous life was only to open up people's wisdom, and when it really came down to practical learning, it was only half-baked except for going to a university to learn a special subject.Of course, some bigwigs are not included in this list.

In the reform of higher education, the so-called high school was originally just a college preparatory course.

The six-three-three school system implemented in later generations is also called the new school system in 1922, which was established by Ameiken State.

"Forget it, then you should go to the school to learn Western language first, and then try again when the government exam comes..."

With a sigh, several people could only helplessly accept this best choice.

If you learn fast, you might even pass the government exam.If you learn slowly..., then it can only be regarded as bad luck.

The tuition fee for studying in the school is quite expensive, and it is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Being able to waive the tuition fee for one year is also Mr. Zhu's hard work.But it is also related to their grades. They are also Confucian scholars who have passed the county examination, and they can be regarded as outstanding people, so it is easy to say.

Except for normal students in normal schools who do not need to pay tuition fees, students in other schools are required to pay tuition fees.However, normal students also need to pay a deposit of ten silver dollars, which will be issued after graduation.

In 1904, the "Outline of Academic Affairs" stipulated: "The monthly tuition fee is five yuan."

That is to say, according to the regulations formulated by the Qing court, the most basic requirement for each school to enroll students is to pay five silver dollars per month.However, there must be additional income at the local level. Five yuan is only the most basic tuition fee, and there are other tuition and miscellaneous fees, board expenses, and so on.

Even if it is the Bai family and the Lu family, when they go to school, they will bleed a lot!

After Brother Xun's family has fallen, he is also unable to afford school.So I chose to go to the Jiangnan Naval Academy, which is equivalent to a military academy, where tuition is free and stipends are also given.

But entering the military academy is a business that loses your head.Not much better than normal students.People with a little money would not choose these two tuition-free schools.

"By the way, Zhaopeng, your dad has researched how to make white pheasants into gourd chickens. Have you finished your research?"

For a moment, everyone felt a little heavy.

Bai Gui changed the subject and asked.

Gourd chicken is a famous dish in Qin Province. According to legend, it was an imperial dish in the Tang Dynasty. When officials who came to Qin Province tasted dishes, this gourd chicken was the first famous dish.

However, the quality and taste of white pheasant are still different from local chicken.

This all needs improvement.

"Erba has almost improved. Although the taste is not comparable to our Japanese Japanese chicken, the taste is quite novel and should be a big seller."

Mentioning this incident, Lu Zhaopeng's face became much better, and he said with joy.

Although the Lu family was a little "ashamed" to talk about the gourd chicken, but after seeing the huge profits generated by the gourd chicken, and at the same time bringing prosperity to the entire Bailu Village, and gaining a good reputation, they did not refuse.

Wowo chicken is a chicken produced in Sanyao Village in the provincial capital.If you go to chickens raised elsewhere, the taste is not right.

"Well, before we go to the school, we will also go back to the village..."

Bai Gui said.

Since they came to Zishui County with Bai Jiaxuan, the few of them have been focusing on their studies, so they didn't go back to the village, and they only went to the neighboring villages in the county to carry letters.

After going to the provincial capital, I don't know when I will come back, so it's good to go back to the village.

"Okay! Let's go back to the village together."

Several people nodded.

"Brother Bai, the store in the city is about to be selected. Since we plan to go to the school, then we should write and change the address of the store to Yongning Gate. That is the root of the school in the city. , let us take care of it."

Zhou Yuan pondered for a while, and suggested.

This decision was passed quickly, and it is better to open a store under the nose.

　Thank you for the reward of 300 starting coins at Yexiao Fenghuo, and the reward of 100 book coins for the star-stealing cat.

　　Don't raise books.

　　I update [-] words a day, which is too much in the new book period...
